chapter 85: visitors to the world

The sunlight in the valley seemed to become a substantial presence, and wherever it shone, the clouds swirled in all directions like turquoise waves disturbed by an oar. Most of the mist dispersed, but some wisps of smoke lingered in front of the wall, traveling among the scattered green trees.

The upper part of the small stone cave is slightly protruding, the opposite side of the cliff is very far away, from the bottom of the valley is also very far, to Fan Xian’s ear, but also to listen to half a day to vaguely hear the sound from the bottom of the valley, I think that the Beijing brocade guards at this time is at the bottom of the valley to search for the bodies of their own two people.

The bottom of the valley should be damp and dark, it is estimated that the other side after a moment and a half of no harvest, will eventually know that he and Sean did not fall down the mountain. Fan Xian guessed in his heart that the Northern Qi people would probably think that he and Sean were lucky and search along the bottom of the valley. However, he did not dare to underestimate Shen Chong’s skillfulness, and he did not know when the other party would return his gaze to this mirror-like rock surface. As for Wolf Peach, just after the initial encounter, Fan Xian was clear that this senior brother of Haitang was indeed one of the top strongest in the human world, with a resolute mind and spirit, and was not the type of person who could easily be fooled by himself.

The mountain wind was blowing slightly, and Sean’s miserable, pale face shivered slightly, the old man had already fallen into a semi-conscious state, and could die at any time, and it seemed that the sun outside was unable to transmit a single trace of warmth into the body of this old man who had forcefully earned his way to the green mountain to die.

Fan Xian scratched his head and looked at Sean’s face, the old comrade’s face was like a layer of orange peel that had been sloshed with white syrup. He thought for a moment and carefully took out the pill from his belt, the small blue pill.

The pill smelled faintly of jatropha leaves, and had been cut in half with a small knife; Fan Xian crushed the remaining half and stuffed it into Sean’s mouth, then took out the thin water pipe from his sleeve and dripped the water infusion from the water pouch concealed in his clothes into Sean’s withered lips.

After a while, the dying Sean woke up, his eyes opened, the scarlet color in his pupils had faded a lot and reappeared, the old man seemed to have regained some of his power in this moment before his death.

“What medicine did you feed me?”

“Little blue pills.” Fan Xian smiled and said, “It’s for refreshing, but it’s unlikely to help you regain the majesty you had back then.”

Elder Sean naturally didn’t understand the joke.

“You took it before you struck, didn’t you?” Sean’s breathing appeared much stronger, and his spirit gradually shook itself out of its decadence; if it wasn’t a predeath flashback, then it meant that this drug had stimulated the remaining energy in the old man’s body.

Fan Xian didn’t answer his question immediately, he reached out and pressed Sean’s pulse, and found that his pulse was getting stronger, but slightly dry, he knew that the Ephedra Pill was starting to take effect, only that this kind of primitive stimulant could lift Sean’s heart for a while, but it couldn’t save his old life which had already been lost.

He took a deep breath and quietly looked at Sean and said, “Wolf Peach Plus Taoist He, your leg was smashed by me, even if we join hands, we are not their opponent, so I have to take some medicine. But I am a little surprised why there are only two masters and not a large group waiting for you and me.”

Sean coughed violently twice, the medication was working strongly at the moment, and he waved his hand with some difficulty, “They don’t want to make too big a deal out of it after all, and if they can’t hide it from that little emperor, it’s always going to be a bit of a hassle later on.”

Fan Xian glanced at him, thinking of the little emperor’s reasons for wanting to keep him alive as an old man, which were exactly the same as his own, but didn’t continue on this topic.

“You saved my old man for no other reason than for that secret in my heart.” Sean looked at the small birds chirping and flying in the valley, a look of envy suddenly flashed in his eyes, “In fact, in the end, what is that secret worth? That little emperor is trying to get the help of the temple to unify the world, what are you so eager to go to the temple for?”

“Of course I have my own reasons.”

“Can you tell me about it?”

An old man and a young man, two leaders of secret spies at different stages of history, were calmly chatting at this moment like old men and children at the entrance of a village.

“Well, say part of it.” Fan Xian squinted his eyes, feeling his body a little weak, the medicinal power of the Ephedra Pill was about to fade, his own spirit a little commiserating, “Actually, I don’t know if you believe it or not, I survive in this world, more often than not, I’m like a tourist, I want to travel to all the interesting corners of the world, and the Temple of the Gods …… is undoubtedly the place that interests me the most.”

“A tourist?” Sean stared with a pair of bloodshot eyes at Fan Xian’s face, which appeared normal in disguise.

Fan Xian smiled, “Is that strange? The Heaven and Earth is the adversary of all things, and the light of day is the passerby of a hundred generations, so since you and I are staying inside the great inn that is the Heaven and Earth, we’d naturally be eager to see exactly what’s in each of the rooms in the inn.”

“Maybe there is a poisonous snake in the room at the very end of the second floor.” Sean moved back with great difficulty, feeling the life inside his body turn into parched breath, knowing that he was getting closer to death, and subconsciously trying to sit more comfortably.

“Maybe a beautiful woman bathing in a barrel.” Fan Xian smiled.

Sean looked at the young man and gently shook his head, “Curiosity kills old cats, you would actually risk your life to save me for such an absurd reason and end up in a deadly situation, would you regret it at this point?”

Fan Xian looked back at the unfathomable cliff and sighed, not saying anything.

“Silly, isn’t it?” This was the second time Sean had said this, saying with a smile on his face, “Burying one of your fresh lives for a secret that’s worth shit.”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and responded, “That’s right, with death before us, any secret is a very unimportant thing.”

Sean suddenly gave him a very odd look and said, “Can I ask you for something.”

Fan Xian’s heart was shaken, although this old man had long since lost his courage, his status was there, all the way north, how had he ever said the word beg, and asked, “What do you want to say?”

Sean’s voice was a bit odd: “I’m not afraid to die …… but after I die, you’re trapped alone in this cave, and I guess I’ll end up so hungry that I’ll be interested in my corpse.”

Fan Xian was stunned and then realized what the old guy was afraid of, and responded with a slight feeling of disgust, “You’re an old man with old arms and legs, I’m going to gnaw on your meat, but I’m still afraid of chipping my own teeth.”

Sean said with a bitter smile, “When you’re really hungry, what can’t you do?”

Fan Xian frowned, “You’re not even afraid of death, but you’re still afraid of me eating your meat?”

Sean looked at him fixedly and said, “There are many people in this world who are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of cockroaches.” He paused and said, “I’m not afraid of death, but I’m afraid of being eaten by you after I die, and that’s a bad feeling.”

The effect of the drug allowed Sean’s energy to be temporarily replenished, so his speech gradually became fluent, and the bleeding mouths on his body had stopped a long time ago, but the alien red in his pupils grew deeper and deeper, which was not a good sign.

Fan Xian glanced at him and shook his head with a bitter smile, “Don’t worry, if you die, I’ll immediately throw you into the valley.” The pupils of his eyes suddenly shrunk slightly as he looked at Sean and asked softly, “Old man, have you eaten human flesh before?”

The cave was quiet all of a sudden, and Sean’s voice didn’t sound for a long time, and only after a long time this did the old man say expressionlessly, “When I went to the temple back then, the snow closed the mountains, and there was nothing left to eat, and human flesh was only good to eat.”

Fan Xian’s heart thumped, although he had been digging up graves and dissecting corpses since he was a child, but the thought of actually eating human flesh, he still couldn’t help but feel a little revolted and wanted to vomit, and subconsciously left his gaze from Sean’s pair of withered and dry lips.

Sean gagged and laughed strangely, “Human meat, in fact, it is really hard to eat …… but back then, the bitter lotus ate, can be much more flavorful than what I ate.”

Fan Xian’s heart trembled again, nowadays the generation of masters who are highly respected by all the people, the Northern Qi State Master Bitter Lotus actually ate human flesh back then?

He immediately figured out the joints, Shawn since he knows where the temple is, bitter lotus is the master of the temple of the art, that year these two people must be at the same time to go to the temple, the two strong actually fell to the point of eating the companion of the human flesh, that the journey of the treacherous, can be imagined. He just didn’t understand why Bitter Lotus must kill Sean, was it just to hide the embarrassing fact that he had eaten human flesh?

“When did you and Bitter Lotus go to the temple?”

Sean actually closed his mouth at this moment, Fan Xian was like a diner, facing the waiter served up duck skin pasta cake sweet sauce onion looked at four eyes, then watched the waiter served away again, a breath blocked in the chest, half a day can not come up, can not help but furious: “Seeing as we are both dying on the sake of, can you let me die faster? ”

Sean gave him a blank look and scoffed, “Silly, aren’t you?”

Fan Xian sighed, “This secret is no longer useful for you to save your life, so why bother hiding it.”

“The temple is in the north.”

Very suddenly and without warning, Sean spoke up.

“How far north?”

“In the snow in the far north, and it’s more than three months’ walk out along the Northern Jail Pass.”

At this time, the sky outside the cave was darkening, Fan Xian’s face was unchanged, but his heart was a little nervous, knowing that he had finally succeeded in half of his endeavors, and that he knew at least the general location of the temple, his heart shrunk slightly. The mountain wind was growing, the summer Yan Mountain was slightly chilly, he looked at Sean who was waiting to die with his eyes closed, and opened his mouth to chat casually like a friend, “Dying old man, how about telling us about the scenery of the temple?”

Sean did not open his eyes, and gasped softly, “A big temple is just a big temple, what good scenery? What about you? What rock did you spring from?”

Fan Xian yawned somewhat commiseratingly and said, “I’m from Tanyu, and there aren’t any good sights in Tanyu, except that there are two trees planted in the back garden of my home, one of which is a jujube tree, and the other of which is also a jujube tree.”
