Chapter 13
Xie Shuci gave him a dissatisfied look.
He thought to himself that you are afraid that I will sleep with you, so what's wrong with letting you hug me now?
Thinking of this, he felt that Xie An was somewhat clueless, so he clasped his wrist and put it heavily on his neck, while leaning back a little, leaning his back against Xie An's arm.
Xie An wanted to withdraw his hand, but Xie Shuci patted him on the back of his hand, signaling him not to move.
Li Song who had a panoramic view of everything: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he said with a dark face: "Do you really want to stick with him?"
Xie Shuci said, "I can't bear it, don't you think it's pitiful for him to sit alone when we talk?"
Li Song pursed his lips and glanced at the expressionless Xie An, "You and him..."
Xie Shuci frowned and said, "Why do you keep inquiring about my relationship with Xie An? Let me tell you, he is still young, so don't think about it."
Li Song looked like he had eaten bad food overnight: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm different from you, I..."
"Okay," Xie Shuci waved his hands, relaxed his body and leaned against Xie An. This time, Xie An didn't move, and let him lean on, "Then what happens after the monster has intelligence?"
Li Song glanced at him and snorted coldly.
After chatting with Xie Shuci for a few words, his sense of sleepiness dissipated a lot, and when he mentioned monsters, there was a lingering haze on his face.
Li Song didn't speak immediately, took a sip of warm tea, and after a moment of silence, sighed: "It left a few words on the ground with its paws, 'If you get revenge, you will leave'."
Xie Shuci was shocked: "It can write?"
"Well. It has lived for more than two hundred years, and it is not surprising that it can read and write. If it is practiced for another hundred or two hundred years, it should be able to become a human being."
Hearing this, Xie Shuci was a little puzzled: "I seem to remember somewhere that it was mentioned that the cultivation of monsters is very difficult, they need to accumulate good fortune, and they can't kill at will. If they kill people, can they still cultivate in the end?"
Li Song shook his head slowly, with a confused look on his face, "No. It has cultivated for two hundred years to become a spirit beast, but for revenge, it is willing to let its two hundred years of practice go to waste. Killed by lightning."
Xie Shuci frowned, "What revenge does it have?"
Li Song sighed again, with a trace of struggle in his eyes, and said: "Two months ago, it led its family to move into the barren hills near the town. It was an inaccessible place. Aunt Zhang and her son Zhang Quan died last night." That person happened to pass by and found a dying wolfhound. He took it home and shared it with his family. Probably because he thought it tasted good, he had an evil idea and took a few warriors from the town to hunt together. Two wolf dogs. By the time the monster arrived at the barren mountain with the second batch of kin, all of its kin had been preyed on."
Xie Shuci had goosebumps all over his body when he heard it, he couldn't help approaching Xie An, and subconsciously grabbed Xie An's belt with his right hand.
Xie An lowered his eyes, pulled his hand from the belt, and held it firmly in his hand. Xie Shuci didn't respond, as if he was attracted by Li Song's words and didn't notice it.
"Is it avenging its own clan dog?" Xie Shuci was in a complicated mood.
"Yes. I heard from my uncle that the first batch of clan dogs that migrated with it have the intelligence of four or five-year-old children, and they are not malicious to humans, so they are easily preyed on."
Xie Shuci felt lost, in order to avenge the clan dog, he gave up his two hundred years of practice, Xie Shuci didn't know whether to say that he valued love and righteousness or that he was stupid.
Xie Shuci asked: "After you catch it, what are you going to do with it?"
Xie Shuci's thoughts were too naive, he knew that it could not be allowed to continue to kill, but he didn't feel that it was a heinous crime, it would be better to say that he gave up the opportunity to become an adult for the sake of the clan dog, which made Xie Shuci sigh.
Li Song clenched his fist, "Pull the pill after killing."
Xie Shuci frowned and said: "Its crime is not limited to this. It was Zhang Quan who killed its clan dog first. It is not wrong for him to avenge the clan dog."
"Do you know how precious the inner core of a spirit beast is? What's more, a big monster who has cultivated for two hundred years can not only prolong life, but also help to grow his cultivation base, and even repair the spirit veins to replace the golden core. You have no qualifications like you Yes, taking its inner core can reshape the spiritual root, don't you want it?" Li Song looked furious, but Xie Shuci couldn't see a trace of joy and greed on his face.
Xie Shuci shook his head, "I don't want it, and you don't want it either. Li Song, you think it's right, don't you?"
"I..." Li Song clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, with shame and anger on his face, he slowly lowered his head, "I want it! Do you know how many people want its inner core? Just get it The inner core, the Li family can go to a higher level, participate in the fairy gate election, even if it doesn't kill people, I still have to get the inner core, the purpose of our coming here is to kill it and take the inner core!"
Xie Shuci stared at him blankly, for some reason, Li Song spoke so resolutely, but Xie Shuci saw a trace of struggle on his face.
"You really want to kill it?" Xie Shuci asked suspiciously.
Xie Shuci's eyes were clear and straightforward. Under such eyes, Li Song felt that he had nothing to hide, as if there was a balance in his heart. He stood in the center of the balance and didn't know which side to tilt.
"It has nothing to do with you!" Li Song stood up abruptly, staring at Xie Shuci fiercely, "You don't want his inner core because you are stupid!"
After speaking, he grabbed the saber on the table and left the lobby.
Xie Shuci looked at his back and turned to Byakugan, "Mental disorder, are you still angry after saying a few words?"
Xie Shuci sat up straight, only then did he realize that Xie An was still holding his hand.
Xie An's hand was always warm and cold, probably because it was touching Xie Shuci's skin, and now it was also a little hot.
Xie Shuci made a slight move, and Xie An let go of his hand.
Xie An asked, "What are you talking about?"
Xie Shuci wrote in his palm: "Nothing."
After a while, he seemed to think of something, and continued to write: "Can the inner core of a two-hundred-year-old monster help you restore your cultivation?"
Xie An fell silent and nodded.
Xie Shuci's heart tightened, he hesitated and asked: "If there is, do you want it?"
Xie Shuci stared at Xie An's face closely, not wanting to miss any emotion on his face, feeling uneasy in his heart. In fact, what Li Song said made sense, probably no one would not want an inner core that can increase one's cultivation, but inexplicably, he didn't want the little blind man to be like everyone else.
No reason, just don't want to.
Under his earnest gaze, Xie An did not speak for a long time, until Xie Shuci's heart twitched violently.
Finally, after a long silence, Xie An said, "I don't want it."
Xie Shuci breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't notice that what Xie An said was "I don't want it", not "I don't want it".
After a peaceful day, before going to bed, Xie Shuci became smarter, hugged the quilt and spread it beside Xie An's bed, and specially told Xie An not to get out of bed after waking up in the morning, and wait until he came to call him.
The next morning, when Xie Shuci opened his eyes, he saw Xie An leaning on the head of the bed with his eyes closed and dozed off. He put on his clothes and shook him awake. The two of them washed up and took A Dong to the clinic together.
Since Zhang Quan's death that night, the shopkeeper seldom showed up, and A Dong almost always followed them.
Before arriving at the medical hall, the medical boy opened a small door and welcomed the three of them in.
Although it was not the first time to do acupuncture with Xie An, Xie Shuci felt that his head was hurting after seeing the slender silver needles piercing into Xie An's skin, so he quickly covered A Dong's eyes and turned his head to the side. to the side.
"Brother Xiaoci, I'm not afraid." A Dong muttered.
"Are you afraid."
"I'm not afraid."
"Are you afraid!"
A Dong was helpless, "Okay, I'm afraid."
The old doctor couldn't help but laugh, and the doctor boy also teased a few words with a smile.
Half an hour later, the old doctor put away the silver needle and said to Xie Shuci, "There is no need to bring him for acupuncture in the future, and the hearing should recover within three days."
"Really? Great!" Xie Shuci said happily.
The old doctor nodded slightly, although he was an old man with half a foot in the coffin, but his hands were very steady, holding the thin silver needle and putting it back steadily.
Before leaving, the medical boy said with a worried face: "Young Master Xie, I heard from the Li family's little priests that the monster is going to kill a person today, so be careful on your way back."
Before Xie Shuci could speak, A Dong held his robe and said proudly: "Brother Xiaoci is also a monk, so monsters can't beat him."
Xie Shuci pinched his chubby face, grabbed Xie An with the other hand, and sighed to the doctor boy: "Thank you, let's go first."
That monster is bloody, it should just want to take revenge and not hurt the innocent.
Looking around, the long street is empty, and the breeze blows slowly from the street, adding to the loneliness.
"The doctor said, you will hear it in a few days." Xie Shuci pulled Xie An to talk.
Xie An nodded, his expression neither sad nor happy.
Passing by a dark alley, Xie An suddenly stopped and put one hand in front of Xie Shuci, blocking the way.
"It smells like blood." Xie An's lips moved slightly.
Xie Shuci's eyes were fixed, and he bent down to hug A Dong.
A Dong lay on Xie Shuci's shoulder, looking around curiously with black and white eyes.
As soon as Xie An finished speaking, a few hasty and disorderly footsteps came from the dark alley.
"Bai Yi! Li Baiyi, hold on!"
"Quick, there is a medical center ahead, take him there first!"
"No, the wound is too deep, and you need the soul-returning pill to save your life."
"Returning Soul Pill? How can there be Huihun Pill here?"
Not long after, seven or eight young monks in Qingjin Yunpao ran out, and the leader was Li Song.
He raised his head, met Xie Shuci's gaze unexpectedly, and after a moment of stunned, he said angrily, "Why are you here?"
Xie Shuci also froze for a moment, seeing that the little cultivator who drew his sword at him yesterday had a few cuts on his chest, the wound was deep enough to show the bone, blood spread all over his body, and his face was completely devoid of color, making him look particularly creepy.
Xie Shuci covered A Dong's eyes, and his own face turned paler. He took half a step back and leaned on Xie An. Xie An raised his hand to support his waist, which almost became a reflex action.
"You guys are..." Xie Shuci's voice trembled a little, and he didn't dare to look at the injured little monk again.
Li Song grasped the saber in his hand, met Xie Shuci's eyes for a moment, moved away very quickly, and said through gritted teeth: "It has nothing to do with you, take them back to the inn quickly, don't come out."
At the same time, a little monk glanced at Xie Shuci, and said in a low voice: "Young master, he is also a monk, why don't we ask him to give us a helping hand, one more person will give us a better chance of winning."
"Shut up!" Li Song sternly said, "That monster's cultivation is far above you and me, and one more person will die in vain! What's more, Xie Shuci has been expelled from the sect, he doesn't need to risk his life."
Xie Shuci glanced at him, "You don't have to risk your life, it just wants to take revenge, it won't hurt innocent people, it's you who want to miss its life."
A group of monks were stunned, and they looked at Xie Shuci in astonishment, as if they had heard a ridiculous joke.
Li Song's eyes dimmed, and he looked at Xie Shuci with complicated eyes.
At this moment, Xie An suddenly tugged Xie Shuci.
Xie Shuci turned around in doubt, and saw Xie An's lips move slightly: "It's dangerous to leave here."
Xie Shuci was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly heard several dogs barking from a distance.
