Chapter 22: The Farewell
"All back off!" Zhenren Ma droned, "Guozhong, you follow me back!"
Zhang Guozhong was just about to smash the chain with a pickaxe when he was suddenly stopped by Real Ma. "Don't move, something's not right..."
Just see Ma Zhenren walked to the iron box, put his ear on the box and listened for a while, nothing moved, signaling Zhang Guozhong to pass the sheep manuscript to himself, clanging the iron chain that smashed open, see the master so careful, Zhang Guozhong did not dare to be as reckless as just now, took a spade from the villager's hands, and gently knocked open the iron box with the head of the shovel.
This open does not matter, a burst of piercing stench even Ma Zhenren are dry heaving several times (Ma Zhenren's clothes, quilt washing time are calculated in five years, Ma Zhenren's quilt face, texture and leather jacket is almost the same, absolutely can be used as a bullet-proof vest, cover this quilt can sleep peace of mind, you can see that Ma Zhenren on the stench of how immune to the stench, and at this moment, even the Ma Zhenren dry heaving, the smell of it (imagine), just this instant, a small white snake from the coffin crawled out, size and bamboo leaf green about the same, speed is exceptionally agile, as if it will also jump, stabbing a leap to the feet of Ma Zhenren.
Ma Zhenren patronized cover the nose, wait to react, this small snake has climbed to their feet, according to the thigh is a bite. Ma Zhenren practiced these decades is not a cover, looking at a small worm rushed their own, immediately rose up in the air, picking up more than five feet high (this is the legend of the light work, TV flying wall, most of them are to meet the audience's visual perception of stunts produced by the art of hyperbole, the real light work, practiced to Ma Zhenren realm has been the pinnacle of the realm of the so-called light work, just figurative call, Ma Zhenren did not become light. (did not become light, this jump relies entirely on the explosive force of the legs), but although the jump away, but the small snake this bite is still biting into the Ma Zhenren's Ma Crotch Pants, previously mentioned, Ma Zhenren's pants have the potential of bulletproof vests, even if it is so, has been putty greasy hard pants is still the small snake this bite of the silk off, at the moment, Ma Zhenren and Zhang Guozhong heart are all shocked, this small snake, in fact, it is "Gnarled strip", according to the common understanding is the snake spirit, "strip" is the meaning of undressing, according to legend, snake cultivation, divided into three stages, to the final stage is gnarled strip, in all the records of the Maoshan Church, about the gnarled strip of the record only a small paragraph, according to legend, the Song Dynasty there is a A Taoist priest saw half of the village funeral at the same time, is very puzzled, the villagers said: "there are snakes for the spirit", then the Taoist will rise to do, the result of a dead villager's mouth crawled out of this small white snake, was Taoist priest to the trick (a kind of lost maoshan magic) death, now Li Erdan body this virtue, eighty percent of all the thing to get, by it if the bite see Now, Li Erdan's body is in such a bad shape, it is likely that this is all caused by this thing.
At this time, Ma Zhenren has landed two meters away, the closest to the gnarled strip is Zhang Guozhong. Seeing that the gnarled strip attacked the master, Zhang Guozhong how can watch the fun? Picked up the shovel in his hand to the middle of the body of the gnarl is a poke, after all, is a hot-blooded young man, no matter what you fairy little fairy, first eat my shovel is real.
Only heard a bang, the body of the gnarled strip broke into two, "your mother's ball, I shot you to death ..." while yelling, Zhang Guozhong backhanded another shovel, snapped to the gnarled strip head.
Poke the shovel to the ground, Zhang Guozhong wiped a handful of sweat, ready to get closer to see this gnarled strip in the end is a thing, what happened in front of the eyes is simply too strange, short into two cuts of the body is not bleeding at all, and the head as if it is made of iron, to their own just a shovel of force, even if it is a stone are shot to the ground, but the gnarled strip of the head is simply not anything.
Just when Zhang Guozhong to the front of the time, the body of the gnarled strip clicked again to a piece of their own, head up, looking at Zhang Guozhong, spit up the letter. This scene immediately scared Zhang Guozhong back several steps.
Cultivation of immortal beasts are aura, the first target of attack is the biggest threat to their own people, at that time it attacked Ma Zhenren, one is because Ma Zhenren Taoist high Yang Qi Sheng, the second is Ma Zhenren hand still holding a powerful guy, however, at the moment Zhang Guozhong's actions obviously provoked this thing, the first target of attack naturally became Zhang Guozhong.
The villagers outside the four were scared enough and had long since ducked dozens of meters away, even Captain Li had retreated to a dozen meters away, staring wide-eyed at the unbelievable.
"Take this!" Ma Zhenren threw the dagger to Zhang Guozhong. It was also at this moment that the gnarled snake snapped and jumped up high, biting down on the shovel handle in Zhang Guozhong's hand, which was made of wood and clicked off a piece of stubble. According to theory, the snake's jaw strength is not big, at most can open the mouth very big, and this gnarled strip, obviously with the general snake is not the same.
Looking at Ma Zhenren threw over the dagger, Zhang Guozhong reached out to catch, just at this time the gnarled striker jumped up and bit the shovel, fell to the ground, followed by another leap, Zhang Guozhong flickered, although did not let the gnarled striker bite, but the dagger did not receive.
With a clang, the dagger fell a few meters away, Zhang Guozhong turned back to pick up the dagger, just then, suddenly felt his ankle was clutched in a death grip, flopped and fell on his back, while the gnarled striker behind him provocatively crawled slowly towards Zhang Guozhong.
Ma Zhenren initially also had some gullible thoughts, speaking from the first few iron boxes, all of them were some python level guys, I didn't expect that this time it was such a small gadget, and it would move so agilely.
Watching his disciple's life hanging in the balance, Ma Zhenren scurried up and stepped on the tail of the gnarled strip, at this time the gnarled strip turned back to take a bite, right on Ma Zhenren's leg.
"Ah!!!" Ma Zhenren let out a scream, only felt a burst of drilling pain, one leg immediately lost consciousness, flopped down. At this time, captain Li also anxious, three sons a hand did not pull, only to see captain Li carrying a handful of goat screw three steps and rushed up, a pickaxe on the gnarled strip body, this gnarled strip body as if it is a sponge made, was smashed deflated immediately after the bulge, and immediately gave up the horse real people, turn his head to captain Li, also at this time, a big stone bang smashed in the gnarled strip of the body, it turned out that the three sons of captain Li Seeing their father rushed out, they also rushed up despite everything.
After Zhang Guozhong fell down, he felt that his two legs were as heavy as lead, and he couldn't listen to his hands, but his master's screams inspired the deepest potential of his body, and with a strong effort from both hands, he crawled forward three or four steps a grabbed the dagger, and looked back just in time to watch the little snake drilling out from under the stone, and was aiming his head at Li Ergui who threw the stone.
"Use true qi! Use true qi... "Ma Zhenren shouted with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth as he did his best, at this time, a few villagers also rushed up, but no one dared to mess with this thing again with this formation in front of them. Zhang Guozhong rationalized his thoughts for a while, the dantian a more force, a few streams of warmth surged to the right hand, only to see Zhang Guozhong with a dagger cut his arm, the blade with blood, three or two times will climb to the stone that smashed the gnarled strip heel.
To say that this kind of animal, human potential is terrible, once it explodes, it can really create miracles. At this moment, Zhang Guozhong is like a paraplegic patient, the lower half of his body can not make a trace of strength, hard to rely on the strength of the two arms, crawling even faster than walking.
At this time, the gnarled stripper also felt a terrible force from behind, turned back and rushed at Zhang Guozhong and scurried up half a foot high, according to Zhang Guozhong's face is a mouth, Zhang Guozhong closed his eyes, a dagger swung over.
In an instant, Zhang Guozhong suddenly felt that his legs could move, he opened his eyes, only to see that the head of the gnarled strip had already been chopped off by the one he had just done, and the two disconnected parts of his body oozed out an orange liquid, the same color as the yellow water that flowed out of Li Erdan's seven orifices, and in a matter of a few seconds' work, the gnarled strip's body turned from snow-white into an orange-yellow color and gradually blackened.
"Come to the people ah! Come to the doctor ah ！！！！" Zhang Guozhong holding the unconscious Ma Zhenren, eyes with tears like crazy howling, at this time, Captain Li has already let people put a simple stretcher ready, a few people lifted Ma Zhenren, all the way wildly back to the village.
Same as last time, the doctors are wondering why the patient suddenly well, can see things can also talk, yellow water also does not flow, at this time last time that the old Chinese medicine doctor and let people carry in...
Tear open Ma Zhenren's pants, the attending doctor frowned, only to see the whole leg with a big crotch a black and blue, ankle out there is even a soybean grains of blood spots, obviously bite wounds. "What is this thing bite?" The attending doctor asked, "Snake, it's a snake! Doctor! How is it? How ah doctor my master how he ah ..." Zhang Guozhong flopped to the doctor kneeled down, "you save my master, doctor I beg you, save my master ..." At this moment several villagers also began to secretly wipe the tears, even the Captain Li also had red eyes, "Doctor, Ma Dao...Doctor Ma is the benefactor of our whole village, you save him, doctor..."
"What kind of snake is this?" The doctor gritted his teeth, with his decades of experience in practicing medicine, even the most poisonous gold ring snakes and bamboo leaf green are not this toxic, two soybean grain sized wounds made the entire leg turn greenish black. "First give the patient a strong heart injection, Captain Li, immediately get a carriage, the city only has the serum..." the doctor looked at Ma Zhenren's pupils that were already slowly dilating, helplessly made the decision to inject a strong heart injection.
At this time, the doctor also knows that the strong heart injection is just to give the old man to buy a little time to say his last words, and the so-called city has serum, but also just a verbal comfort, this has never seen the poison, how can the city have serum...
After a strong heart injection, Ma Zhenren woke up.
"Master..."
"No need..." said Ma Zhenren as he waved his hand and pushed back the pills and water that Zhang Guozhong was holding in his hand, "Give me the tobacco pouch..."
"Master, the doctor said that there is a serum in the city, Li Fu went to set the car, let's go to the city immediately..." Zhang Guozhong held back his tears, pretending to be calm.
"No need, do you think that...what the hell, in the city, can be offset? ... "Ma Zhenren struggled to sip a mouthful of cigarette, "Guozong ah, you are not small anymore, there are some things that should be told to you..."
"En..."
"Guo-zhong ah, listen, you are now... you are now... you are the first... the one hundred and fourth generation of the All-Truth Sect's headmaster, the ninth one hundred and fifty-third generation of the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan... the Maoshan. ...Maoshan Art Journal...Quanzhen...Quanzhen Thirty-six Methods...Look well, and memorize...the name of the Ancestor Master...Ancestor Master... "Said Ma Zhenren took out a piece of ancient jade from the cloth bag containing tobacco leaves on the tobacco pot, "This is for you... also... there is that dagger... dagger, don't lose it..., in the future there will be... ...all have great use..."
"Master what you say ah master, we now go to the city, the city has a serum ah master! Now people will win ah master ..."
"Win...win a fart! People..." Ma Zhenren drummed up enough breath to say every word again, "people can win the day... but not that word ah... I lived more than a hundred... years old, but also enough money, you kid, you a little.... ...little bastard...lamb, have to bring...Taoism...forward..." ma zhenren struggled to sit up, zhang guozong rushed forward to help.
"But do not...do not lose my Ma Lao Dao people...do not..."
The tobacco pouch pot, still smoking, snapped and fell to the ground. Ma Zhenren leaned diagonally against Zhang Guozhong's arms and feathered himself with a smile.
"Master!!!" It all came too suddenly for Zhang Guozhong, the master who was still good a few hours ago, was gone at this moment, "Dafu! Doctor! Quickly give another shot! The doctor! Give me a shot! Li Fu! Is the car cover ready? We still have to go to the city..."
......
Ma Zhenren's burial goods can only be described as simple, in addition to the life of the tobacco pot, is a good material life jacket.
Whether it is the practice or practice medicine, Ma Zhenren life do not know how many people to save, but only until after death to put on a decent clothes, can take away, but also only in life this does not leave the broken tobacco pot.
Ma Zhenren's grave, Zhang Guozhong long unwilling to leave, rubbed the harmonica brought back from home, with a kind of bone-deep guilt, slowly blowing up. A cold wind drifted by, Zhang Guozhong a chill, a song "farewell", perhaps the horse real people hear the heart blowing out of the tune it ......
Outside the Long Pavilion
By the Ancient Road
The grasses are so blue that they stretch to the sky
The evening breeze holds the willow flute
Sunset Beyond the Mountains
The ends of the earth
The corner of the earth
Half of my friends have fallen away
A pot of turbid wine is all I have left
I'll leave you in the cold tonight
...
Strangely enough, in Li Village, where it hadn't rained for several years, there was suddenly a loud clap of thunder that night, and it started to drizzle, and it was wrapped in ice slush...
