Chapter 16 The fourteenth round of life proves the couple's alliance

Jiang Lingqian had heard someone coming in earlier, so he buckled a hairpin in his hand to prevent accidents.When I met Shen Xuan face to face, I was too stunned to say a word, and said for a long time: "Get out!" Only then did Shen Xuan realize that Jiang Lingqian was lying under the quilt in disheveled clothes, and he was being too rude.After a while, Jiang Lingqian opened the beaded curtain and came out. The long black clothes were tied up, but the hair was uncombed and draped over his shoulders. "She locked you here?" Shen Xuan asked.Jiang Lingqian nodded. Shen Xuan stayed for a while, then hesitated and said, "You were injured that day, but are you better?" Jiang Lingqian nodded again, but remained silent.

Shen Xuan didn't know what to do, and finally said: "Li'er, are you still annoying me?" Jiang Lingqian sighed, his eyes turned red: "I know you can't be blamed for Grandpa's death. Don't mention it again. " Shen Xuan felt relieved, but felt guilty instead.Lier has no father and no mother. Although Jiang Tingsong is eccentric and strict, she is her only relative in the world. After all these years, she has depended on each other for life, and her grandparents and grandchildren love each other deeply.Li'er was heartbroken when he died suddenly.As for Shen Xuan herself, it is indeed difficult to escape suspicion about this matter, no wonder she lost her temper and said such words.It's really inconsiderate of her to walk away and blame her for being unfeeling.If Li'er hadn't hurried down the mountain to chase him, how could he have been ambushed by the Jinghu faction, and how could he have fallen into the hands of Princess Wuyue and imprisoned?In the past, it seemed that he always accommodated Li'er a lot, but in fact, Li'er has always understood him very well.He was thinking about it, but he was just in a daze, and he forgot what to say.

"Why are you still arrested? Didn't someone rescue you that day?" Jiang Lingqian asked.Shen Xuan said: "I want to come in and save you." "Do you think you can save me?" Jiang Lingqian said.Shen Xuan said with a smile: "Whether you can save it or not, you have to try." Jiang Lingqian raised her head and glanced at him, and Shen Xuan felt that she had seen through her heart: Anyway, even if it can't be saved, the promise of life and death will always come true. "You two seem to be very happy!" Princess Wu Yue walked out from behind the screen.Jiang Lingqian had already held Shen Xuan's hand, but now she hastily shook it off and took half a step back.Shen Xuan grabbed it again.

Princess Wuyue smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, I didn't treat your fiancée badly, did I?" It was the first time Shen Xuan heard that Jiang Lingqian was "his" fiancée, and he didn't know whether to be annoyed or grateful to Princess Wuyue. "Miss Jiang is such a snow-like person," she continued, "I can't bear to let her live in a cold and wet dungeon. Isn't this room very nice?" Jiang Lingqian said: "Even if you let me live in your bedroom, I won't give you back the map." She never said that the map is not in her hand, so as to prevent Princess Wuyue from killing her.Princess Wuyue smiled faintly: "You thought what I wanted was a map? The map has been in your hands for so long, you can copy a thousand copies and distribute it in the rivers and lakes. What else should I do? Besides, this map is anyway It's also fake."

"Fake?" Jiang Lingqian and Shen Xuan exclaimed at the same time. Concubine Wuyue showed her complacent expression, and sat down on a rosewood begonia chair: "What people in the world have worked so hard to find is in vain, and most things in the world are like this. You two can't get out anyway." Well, I might as well tell you. My underground palace doesn’t have many rooms, and I don’t have many institutions. Although there are a few places that are well-arranged, I haven’t buried gold and silver treasures. Just imagine, if I really build such a The grand and complicated maze looks like a dragon palace in the East China Sea. How much will it cost? The Qian family is still in the Wuyue country, can they still sit still? But those people in the rivers and lakes heard that I have an underground palace, so they naturally think about it. Concubine Wuyue is arrogant, extravagant, and has sinister intentions. Of course, this underground palace is not a good place. What kind of labyrinth, what kind of treasure, they all made it out of their own rumors. Hmph, how imaginative! As for those who died here, it was all Because they leaked the news before they came, and I solved it with my own hands." Jiang Lingqian and Shen Xuan were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Princess Wuyue said: "I made such a secret place, but I wanted it to be my final destination. So I will never allow outsiders to come in." Speaking of this, her eyes blurred, "Unexpectedly However, these rumors have been attracted. I simply made a map of the maze to see what else can be drawn! Miss Jiang, you came to steal the map nearly three years ago, how old were you then? Thinking, if I really have a maze, why do I draw a map and let people know? Even if I draw a map, how can a little girl steal it easily? But you don’t have to be too sorry, as I said, this place was originally There is nothing important to hide, so the fake map is not completely fake. It is adding some non-existent paths on the original map out of thin air. The correct path map. It’s just—” She smiled slightly, “I’m afraid there are very few people who can’t be disturbed by the bypass, right?”

Shen Xuan gradually understood that after Jiang Lingqian got the map, he must have studied it carefully.As smart as she is, she can't remember those complicated paths.But she was most impressed by the right way.So according to the sketch she drew, it is roughly possible to walk through the underground palace.But if you hold the "real copy" of the map, you will be in trouble. "Plausible, paradoxical, this is Jianghu. The most complicated maze cannot be built, it is in the human heart. I built a maze in the enemy's heart, isn't it stronger than bricks, tiles, mud and stones?" Princess Wuyue smiled.Seeing a pair of young people who were silent, she was obviously overwhelmed by her high opinion, and she said proudly, "I told you all this, Miss Jiang, you still don't understand why I went so hard to catch you Is it?"

Jiang Lingqian said: "I don't have a maze in my heart, so I can't guess what you mean." Princess Wuyue said: "I hunted you down earlier because I was really angry with you, a young girl who had just debuted, and dared to go against me. But, later I knew You are the young disciple Jiang Tingsong took in in his later years, and gradually changed his mind. I swore to kill all the Tiantai disciples, and that was because the seven of them were against me at the beginning..." When she said this, her eyes were full of hatred and resentment Han Guang, "But it has nothing to do with you. Speaking of which, you and I still have a strong affection, maybe because we both grew up in Tiantai Mountain, and our temperaments are similar..."

"Heh," Jiang Lingqian said, "If I want to have a temperament similar to yours, I'm unlucky!" Princess Wuyue ignored her, and continued: "You have helped people like Huang Yunzai and Ji Qiugu several times, but I let you go. Actually, it's because I hope you can come to my side." As early as Shen Xuan and Jiang Lingqian expected. Jiang Lingqian sneered and said, "Do you think it's possible?" Princess Wuyue smiled and said, "Of course it's possible! When you left Qian Shijun, a worthless guy, I thought it was possible! Miss Jiang, don't forget, our Tiantai faction His martial arts are too good, but he is disobedient, so in the eyes of those who claim to be decent, they are always demons and heretics. I don’t need to say about your current situation. As long as you and Dr. But I can protect you and make you two lovers get married. As long as you work for me. Well, Dr. Shen, as long as you prepare an antidote for me, I will also help you heal and let you Live well." Shen Xuan said, "What if we don't agree?"

Princess Wuyue said: "You don't need me to talk about it?" Shen Xuan and Jiang Lingqian looked at each other and smiled, understanding.Jiang Lingqian deliberately said: "But why should we trust you?" Princess Wuyue said: "Miss Jiang, if I don't want to subdue you, why haven't I confiscated your weapons and let you live in such a good place? If I don't cherish you, how could I be here on November 10th last year?" I traveled thousands of miles to personally deliver the antidote to you in four days? Although it was to invite Dr. Shen, half of it was because I couldn’t bear to see you die so early.”

"What antidote?" Jiang Lingqian frowned, "The antidote for 'Feiyan San', Jinkui Yinjia Wan, was not given by Tang Mulong, so what does it have to do with you?" "Huh," Princess Wuyue looked at Shen Xuan in surprise , "Hasn't Dr. Shen told you how the medicine came from? Why is he so determined! The antidote is mine, so he came to this underground palace to live for a while in order to get the antidote from me and save you." He suffered internal injuries for many months. He even wanted his life for you!" Jiang Lingqian looked at Shen Xuan's eyes and knew that what she said was true. Princess Wuyue said meaningfully: "I can save him, but he is too uncooperative. He would rather die than give me an antidote. Are you cooperating or not now? Can't you see that he is looking like this, and he can't do it in a few days." Alive? With such a loving and righteous man, you have the heart to watch him vomit blood every day, until he dies?" Jiang Lingqian proudly said: "I knew he was going to die a long time ago!" Shen Xuan was taken aback.Jiang Lingqian said, "Do you think I'm afraid?" Princess Wuyue obviously couldn't understand for a while, and asked instead: "You don't care about him?" Shen Xuan said: "Of course she cares about me. However, even if the world cannot tolerate us, we will never flatter you!" Princess Wuyue's complexion changed drastically, and a pool of hibiscus turned into autumn frost. After a while, she said, "I understand what you mean. But I have a way to torture you, so that you are so close to each other, so that you don't even want to die together!" When Jiang Lingqian heard this, his expression changed slightly.Princess Wuyue smiled suddenly: "But why bother! I hate beating mandarin ducks the most. You two will be together tonight, let's discuss it again!" Princess Wuyue stood up and walked slowly to the door.The stone door opened again.Jiang Lingqian cast a wink at Shen Xuan, and a handful of golden needles flew towards Princess Wuyue's back.But Princess Wuyue was always on guard, and when she heard the slight wind behind her, she immediately jumped away, rolled up her left sleeve, and put more than a dozen golden needles embroidered in the sleeve.Jiang Lingqian and Shen Xuan immediately backed away a few steps and unsheathed their long swords. "I have treated you well, but you have done such a tricky thing!" Princess Wuyue said angrily, "I actually used such a large handful of gold needles, thank you for the gift!" Jiang Lingqian said: "Take it, you don't know how to use it anyway. Like you, you don't know how to embroider golden needles, so you use poisoned iron needles to pretend!" She said this to anger Princess Wuyue.Shen Xuan heard this, but couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Princess Wuyue's complexion was livid, she flipped her palms and clasped them on the tops of their heads respectively.Jiang Lingqian went up to meet her, and the sword edge slashed diagonally along her right arm.Shen Xuan recognized that this was a trick of "Tianmu slamming the sky to the sky", so he followed the same way to chop off the left arm of Princess Wuyue.Princess Wuyue could neither dodge to the left nor dodge to the right, so she had to sink her arms and grab the wrists of the two with her backhand.Before she touched her sleeve, Jiang Lingqian pulled Shen Xuan into the air and flew outside the stone gate. It would be too easy to escape like this.Both of them felt quite surprised.Princess Wuyue turned around and rushed out, her palms shaped like eagle claws, black and sharp, unstoppable. Jiang Lingqian said in a low voice: "Brother Xuan, Haike is talking about Yingzhou." Shen Xuan understood, just now the two of them used sleepwalking swordsmanship at the same time, forcing Princess Wuyue to retreat.Although this sleepwalking swordsmanship is not like the Liangyi swordsmanship that requires two people to use together, but because of its ingenuity and weirdness, it is often impossible to break and dodge, so when two people make a move at the same time, it is even more difficult to guard against.Shen Xuan got an idea, put the sword in his left hand, and with Jiang Lingqian on the left and right, used the "sleepwalking swordsmanship" move after move.Princess Wuyue had seen Jiang Lingqian use this top-level sword technique of the Tiantai School before, but her sword skills were not superb, relying on the poison in her palm, she could fight a tie.At this time, the two of them were using together, their power increased greatly, she was actually forced to retreat steadily, the poisonous wind from Wuying Three Corpse Palms didn't even reach the corners of their clothes. Shen Xuan casually pulled a gauze curtain, raised the tip of his sword, and lowered his hood towards Princess Wuyue.Princess Wuyue hurriedly turned to the right, suddenly her eyes went dark, but she was covered by a gauze curtain thrown by Jiang Lingqian.At this time, she had already heard the sound of the golden blade piercing the wind, and knew that if she walked forward, she would definitely be hit by the sword moves of the two.She didn't have time to tear off the veil from her face, so she hurriedly jumped back.Just hearing a "bang", the huge vase shattered, and the peach blossoms fell to the ground one after another. Princess Wuyue laughed when she was supposed to be furious.Suddenly the golden light flickered and moved away three feet.Shen Xuan and Jiang Lingqian had no choice but to jump away immediately, and when they looked again, there was a golden snake whip on Princess Wuyue's hand.This Golden Snake Whip was originally a unique martial art created by Princess Wuyue, because it is not as convenient and powerful as the Wuying Three Corpse Palms, so it is not commonly used.But the Golden Snake Whip also has its strengths, if it is not close combat, it is more useful than the Shadowless Three Corpse Palm against multiple enemies.Princess Wuyue had exactly this idea at this time, she expected that Shen Xuan's martial arts were weak, and the golden snake's tail would strike at him first.Shen Xuan pulled the curtain beside him and walked away.The snake's tail swept against the soft tent, and its strength suddenly slowed down.Suddenly, the white light rose again, rolling towards the golden snake. This is Jiang Lingqian releasing his Snow White Silk to fight with the Golden Snake Whip.Shen Xuan suddenly smelled a fishy smell, and couldn't help shouting: "Be careful, there is poison on the whip!" Princess Wuyue sneered, and used the phantom whip technique, and thousands of golden lights shrouded it like a net.But Jiang Lingqian didn't care, the flying snow white silk shuttled back and forth in the golden light, it seemed very casual. The Golden Snake Whip is made of 30% gold and 30% copper. It is divided into 99 sections, taking into account both rigidity and flexibility.In contrast, Jiang Lingqian's snowy white silk is unavoidably weak.But when Shen Xuan saw it, he knew that Jiang Lingqian could not be defeated.The flying snow white silk seems to be soft and elegant, but in fact it requires extremely high internal strength of the user.And controlling the iron hook hidden in the white silk, picking, picking, stabbing, and hitting is an extremely ingenious kung fu. How can the Golden Snake Whip compare? "Two little thieves, do you really want to die?" Princess Wuyue yelled, suddenly jumped onto the bonsai, stopped her hands and shouted.Seeing blood oozing from her shoulder, Jiang Lingqian knew that she had been injured by him, so he couldn't help being overjoyed, rolled up his white silk, and took advantage of the victory to pursue. Princess Wuyue shook the golden snake whip, swung away the snowy white silk, and shouted: "Look around before you talk!" It turned out that Princess Wuyue's bodyguards had already surrounded the hall, each with a Zhang Qiang bow in his hand, the bow string was fully drawn, and the arrow was on the string, aiming at the two of them.Jiang Lingqian couldn't help being stunned. Princess Wuyue's eyes suddenly showed an imperceptible slyness, Shen Xuan was shocked, grabbed Jiang Lingqian's belt, and pulled her to jump backwards. With a sound of "whoosh", a flying knife flew obliquely, cutting off Jiang Lingqian's belt.At this moment, the floor under Jiang Lingqian's feet cracked, and there was a trap underneath. Jiang Lingqian flew up, and suddenly a black iron fence fell on his head.She had no choice but to sink into the trap.Shen Xuan squatted down, and rolled into the trap the moment before the iron fence blocked the entrance of the trap.Princess Wuyue couldn't pull it even if she wanted to, only heard a "bang", and the mouth of the trap closed. "Okay, okay!" Princess Wuyue was so angry that she didn't know what to say, "You two are going to be together forever! You, do you still want to come up?" She walked to the edge of the trap and looked down, but saw two They stood together hand in hand, without looking up at all. Wang Zhaoxi came out from behind the archer at this time, and said in a low voice: "Madam, why don't you use the mechanism?" She gritted her teeth, walked to the back of the bonsai, pulled the mechanism on the water source, and said loudly: Listen, a lifeless little thief: Within a stick of incense, the dungeon will be filled with water, and if you can’t get out, you’ll just drown in it. Think about it, it’s still too late to beg for mercy. Hmph, I don’t believe it, Is it so good to die together!" Shen Xuan looked around, this trap is actually a big stone room, maybe there will be a way out.At this time, there is a flood of water rushing down from all the crevices, and it is impossible to see where the mechanism is.Jiang Lingqian's Qingjue Sword can cut through a few iron bars on the fence, but he can only be shot to death by random arrows.The water rose quickly and had reached her shoulders. "Brother Xuan, there must be an exit from this stone room. You are good at water, hold your breath, and look for it slowly. When you find it, go out." Shen Xuan was startled, even if the water covered his head and he held his breath, he could still last for two or three hours.But Jiang Lingqian had no choice.The cold water had reached her forehead, to the top of her head.She couldn't hold her breath and choked several times.Shen Xuan hurriedly lifted her back, and the two of them floated up together.Jiang Lingqian's mouth and nose came out of the water, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, turned his face sideways, and smiled sadly at Shen Xuan. The water surface rose higher and higher, pushing towards the roof, and it took only a moment. "Do you really want to understand?" Princess Wuyue cried out when she saw that the water had overflowed from the fence.But neither of them heard. At this moment, Shen Xuan had no way to let Jiang Lingqian breathe, and could only hold her hand tightly.Their whole bodies are floating in the big water, ups and downs, and there is no end to it.He opened his eyes and saw Li'er's face was vaguely reflected in the waves, her long hair was floating with the water, like wicker in the water, and her face was pale, exhaling slowly, her hands were as weak as wicker. Princess Wuyue walked to the iron fence curiously, wanting to see what would happen to these two people. ——In the clear and cold deep water, two shadows are swaying leisurely, their clothes are floating, but they are human, but they are hugging each other tightly.This scene... Princess Wuyue suddenly felt a needle-like pain in the most secret corner of her heart.She bent down and stared blankly at the two men.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly waved his hand violently. Wang Zhaoxi was puzzled.Princess Wuyue said softly: "I tell you all to retreat." The guards immediately withdrew completely. After a while, Shen Xuan was surprised to find that they were descending little by little—the water receded.He supported Jiang Lingqian to sit on the ground, unable to hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood sprayed on Jiang Lingqian's skirt.Jiang Lingqian just watched quietly. The iron fence was also removed, and a long rope hung from the mouth of the trap.Princess Wuyue's voice came from the empty hall: "Shen Xuan, take her away. Follow the way you came, and don't let me see you again." The sound of footsteps also gradually disappeared in the distance.Shen Xuan and Jiang Lingqian looked at each other, unable to believe it was true.Shen Xuan stood up and pulled the long rope, which was quite strong: "Li'er, let's go quickly!" Jiang Lingqian shook his head: "Do you trust her? You must not walk over it!" The stone room glanced around, pointing to a corner: "Look there!" That corner is where the water just flowed out.As the flood rushed past, the stone bricks on the ground seemed to be a little loose, which looked different from other places.Shen Xuan ran over and inserted the sword into a crack in the stone. The brick was pried up, and a narrow stone step was exposed underneath, leading to the dark depths of the underground.The two were overjoyed and walked down supporting each other.This tunnel was dug very crudely, only one person tall, dark and dull.I walked over gropingly, every step I took was going down the steps, and the rock wall became more and more wet, so I should be going down Yuhuang Mountain. Jiang Lingqian said: "Brother Xuan, which direction do you think we are going?" Shen Xuan thought about it and said, "To the east." Isn't this the unmarked way out? Jiang Lingqian said: "There should be a way out in the east on that map, but there are some strange places on the road, and I can't understand it." Shen Xuan said: "Let's go." After walking for a long time, it seemed that at the bottom of the valley, the stone steps became narrower and narrower, almost walking through the crevices of the rocks.The exit of the mountain road has never appeared, but the stone steps are climbing up. "Strange, is this exit on another mountain?" Shen Xuan asked.At this time, his internal energy was disordered, and he couldn't help panting when he spoke.Jiang Lingqian said softly: "Brother Xuan, Princess Wuyue...can you really heal your wound?" Shen Xuan thought to himself, whether it is true or not, what is there to worry about now, suddenly saw a faint light in front of him, and unconsciously said: "Be careful." Here is already halfway up the mountain, another huge stone room.The ever-burning lamps on the four walls are like will-o'-the-wisps, blinking ambiguously.In the middle of the stone chamber, a delicate sarcophagus suddenly stopped. "No wonder Princess Wuyue said that this maze will be her final destination, and even the coffin is ready. No wonder the road was so hidden and narrow just now. She also expected that she might die in the future, so she fled to this maze within the maze If you come here, a big rock can block the passage. Her enemies will never expect her to be buried here. But Brother Xuan..." Jiang Lingqian's voice trembled, "There seems to be no way out here." Shen Xuan took a look, and sure enough there were smooth stone walls all around, only the passage they came from. "Since it is the final destination, there will be no way out." Shen Xuan pondered. "No!" Jiang Lingqian ran over suddenly and pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus, "How could someone like Princess Wuyue give up? She must have a way out. I think there must be ghosts in this sarcophagus!" However, there is no ghost in the sarcophagus. This is indeed a coffin, but it is very large.Jiang Lingqian jumped in, touched the wall of the coffin, and found that it was made of stone slabs, but it was not carved from a single block of stone like ordinary sarcophagi: "I dare say that Princess Wuyue definitely has no real plan to sleep here after death. .” At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from afar in the depths of the mountain road.When the two heard this, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock.There is no one on this mountain road, and it is so quiet that even the dust falling on the ground can elicit an echo.It was Princess Wuyue who heard their voices and came after them. "I kindly let you go, how dare you come here to spy on my secrets. I will tell you to die without a place to bury you!" Princess Wuyue's angry voice echoed in the empty valley, and the footsteps had already reached this side of the valley. Shen Xuan had no other place to hide, so in a hurry, he had no choice but to jump into the sarcophagus too.The moment he landed on the ground, a stone slab at the bottom of the sarcophagus opened "creakingly", and there were layers of stone steps underneath, still showing a glimmer of light. "Brother Xuan," Jiang Lingqian cheered in a low voice, "You stepped on the mechanism with one foot!" Shen Xuan also said happily, "Hurry up, Li'er, I'll be right there." Shen Xuan turned around, and struggled to close the lid of the sarcophagus, and heard Princess Wuyue's footsteps less than ten feet away.Thinking of Princess Wuyue's excellent lightness kung fu, I can't help feeling impatient.Looking back, Jiang Lingqian was squatting there and hadn't come out of the tunnel yet! "Li'er, let's go!" Shen Xuan was sweating anxiously. "You go first!" Jiang Lingqian didn't move, her slender fingers like white jade were desperately picking at a bluestone slab at the bottom of the sarcophagus.There are five words engraved on that stone slab: "The river and the sea are not tied to the boat"! Shen Xuan shouted: "Don't worry about it, what's the use of that thing!" Princess Wuyue's footsteps had already reached the stone chamber outside, and her steps were as urgent as a drumbeat urging a battle.Shen Xuan tugged on Li'er's skirt: "Li'er, let's go!" Jiang Lingqian kicked Shen Xuan into the tunnel.Shen Xuan fell headfirst, half fainted, another mouthful of blood spilled on the stone steps. At this moment, Jiang Lingqian took out the slate and put his hand in.At this moment, the lid of the sarcophagus was knocked away, and a suet jade-like palm, filled with black air, slammed down on Jiang Lingqian's exposed vest. Jiang Lingqian also rolled to the bottom of the tunnel.Shen Xuan felt her soft body falling on top of him, and suddenly came to his senses, picked her up, and ran forward desperately.He had already lost his strength, but at this moment, the "stepping sand" on the soles of his feet was faster than ever. But at the end of this tunnel, there is still a stone room! Shen Xuan was almost desperate.Princess Wuyue followed closely, and was less than two feet behind him. "No, I must take her out!" Suddenly Shen Xuan caught a glimpse, there seemed to be an incense table on the side of the stone room, with a memorial tablet written on it, and flowers and candles for offering.He didn't know where the inspiration came from, he suddenly made a long sword, threw it over, and smashed the incense table into pieces. Princess Wuyue screamed and rushed to the incense table, but she didn't get up again.At this time, Jiang Lingqian in his arms coughed violently twice, slightly black blood sprayed on Shen Xuan's face.Shen Xuan raised his blurred eyes and saw that there seemed to be a door in front of him, so he slammed into it. The door opened "ah", Shen Xuan couldn't stand up, and fell down in a pool of clear water outside the door.A torrent rushed over and pushed him into a wide mountain stream, downstream.He struggled and thumped to prevent himself from being sunk by the waves, and at the same time hugged Jiang Lingqian who was fainting tightly. I have been drifting for two days in the boundless blue waters of the East China Sea.For two days, there was no food or water, only a small broken boat drifting with the current, not knowing where to go.But this is not what Shen Xuan is anxious about.For two full days, Jiang Lingqian sometimes fell asleep and sometimes woke up, but she never became conscious, she just lay softly in Shen Xuan's arms, her face as pale as death.Shen Xuan chewed up all the antidote pills on his body and fed them to her, but there was still no improvement.The secret recipe of the Shen family in Dongting has never failed like this. In fact, Shen Xuan himself was on the verge of life and death.That day he struggled in the Nine Streams for half a day, and was finally washed into the Qiantang River by waves.It is already close to the mouth of the Qiantang River, and the waves are rolling like ten thousand horses galloping.He himself didn't know how he managed to survive the monstrous white waves, or maybe it was just an instinct to survive.Fortunately, Jiang Lingqian was still in a coma. All he had to do was hold her tight and prevent the waves from separating them... In short, in the end, he finally climbed onto a dilapidated wooden boat, and he could hardly get up again. His severe hematemesis occurred in the tunnel of Princess Wuyue.But he couldn't take care of it at all. In order to run for his life, he still had to use up all his internal energy.It seemed as if the pain of blood rushing and thousands of arrows piercing through the chest could not be felt anymore.Only at this time, looking at his blood-stained clothes, he remembered that he was already extremely weak, and he could only sustain himself with a breath of anger.Now every time he vomits blood, he will be unconscious for a long time, and every time he wonders if he is going to die just like that.But he died, what about Li'er? The boat floated aimlessly in the sea, and there were a few lead-colored clouds in the sky. "Brother Xuan..." Jiang Lingqian called out slowly.Shen Xuan approached her, but heard her say, "I have something to tell you." Shen Xuan saw that her eyes were bright and she spoke clearly, and she seemed to be getting better.Thinking of her injury, she hurriedly said: "Let me ask you first, did Princess Wuyue slap you, and how is her skill?" Jiang Lingqian closed her eyes: "She didn't hit me." Suddenly said, "That's not land anymore ?” Sure enough, a small green island floated on the sea not far away, and it seemed that there were still people on the island.Shen Xuan was overjoyed, and rowed the boat to that side with all his strength.On land, there will eventually be more ways, and Li'er can be saved. Jiang Lingqian supported Shen Xuan's shoulders to get off the boat, and after only a few steps, she fell limply on the beach.Shen Xuan said anxiously: "Li'er, there is a monastery over there, you wait here, I'll call for someone to come." Jiang Lingqian expressed his refusal with his eyes, and Shen Xuan said again: "Then I will carry you on my back." "No," Jiang Lingqian said, "I have something to tell you, which is very important. After you listen to me, go find someone... ..." Shen Xuan saw that there was a floating radiance on her face, but there was a bruise between her brows.His heart suddenly tightened: I have seen such a situation countless times.It's not a turnaround, it's a flashback. Shen Xuan helped Li'er up, and unbuttoned her clothes, exposing her back.Her vest was as white as snow, without any scars.As Mei Xueping said back then, when the power of the Wuying Three Corpse Palms reached its peak, no palm prints could be seen at all, and the wounded were intact, but in fact they were poisoned and there was no way to save them. The red armband engraved with green peach blossoms and the Chinese characters of birth date shone dazzlingly in the sun, causing Shen Xuan's tears to flow out of his eyes. "Brother Xuan," Jiang Lingqian said, "don't be sad, listen to me carefully. I hang on for a few days, and die if I refuse, because I have to tell you these words. Where's the book?" Just now, an oiled paper package fell out of her clothes.With trembling fingers, Jiang Lingqian tore off the greased paper, and a yellow booklet fell out.She smiled gratifiedly: "Sure enough..." ——Sure enough, it is the martial arts secret book of the Dongting School that has been missing for many years——"The River and the Sea Are Not Tie Boats". "Brother Xuan, this originally belonged to your family. Grandpa took it away and gave it to his daughter. Her daughter hid it in such a shameful place. Now, I brought it and returned it to you." "Li'er!" Shen Xuan said, "What does this thing have to do with us, is it worth your life in exchange?" "I didn't trade my life for it." Jiang Lingqian smiled slightly, slipping a small purple pill out of his sleeve.Shen Xuan was shocked, she had never taken Jinkui Yinjia Wan, the antidote for "Feiyan San". "Brother Xuan, don't blame me for being self-willed. When you came to Tiantai Mountain to find me, I knew that you would not live long—you wanted to hide it from me, how could it be possible? I don't want to live longer than you." Shen Xuan was speechless in surprise. "But you won't die now. Princess Wuyue said that she can save you, mostly because she has this book. Even if it's not, grandpa said that the inner strength of your Dongting sect is authentic Taoism. You can practice according to this book. The internal injury will definitely heal." Shen Xuan said: "How can I practice it!" Jiang Lingqian was in a hurry: "Don't you cherish what I gave my life for?" "I cherish it," Shen Xuan had no choice but to comfort her, "I will definitely practice." "Brother Xuan," Jiang Lingqian sighed, and said slowly, "Until now, I didn't know how much I hoped for you to live a long life... But before, when I knew you were going to die, I felt a little bit sad. Happy." Jiang Lingqian closed his eyes for a while: "If you didn't have your life at stake, why would you go to Tiantai Mountain to find me? How could you make a white-headed promise to me?" Shen Xuan immediately said: "No, Li'er. Then It’s all my sincere wish, not because I want to die to tell you.” "I know that's your sincere wish." She smiled sweetly, as if she was recalling the wonderful situation of that night, "So, even though I know it can't be realized, I am also very satisfied. I can be with you for a year, It's a luxury. People often only do this and say it when they are at the critical moment of life and death. Brother Xuan, I don't know. In fact, if it weren't for you and I don't have much time, I wouldn't ask you to stay with me in Tiantai Mountain. No. We shouldn't be together in the first place, it's too embarrassing for you, I don't know..." Shen Xuan suddenly realized: "Li'er, what are you trying so hard to get this book?" Seeing that he finally understood his intention, Jiang Lingqian couldn't help but smile slightly: "Brother Xuan, I have always hoped that I could truly be your Wife. But because of this book, our two families became enmity. My grandfather will always be involved in your father's death. Even if you like me, these things can't be changed. If you want to marry me, so what Facing these grievances and contradictions... no, if it were me, you and I would have revenge for killing my father, so I would not be able to marry you!" Shen Xuan was at a loss, "Why not?" Jiang Lingqian continued: "Grandpa is dead, and now I have retrieved this book for you. In the future, if you practice the kung fu in the book, can you resolve some of the hatred in the past? In this way, can you be my friend? It's yours, it's yours..." She said a lot in one breath, but she couldn't catch up, and fell into Shen Xuan's arms, gasping for breath.Shen Xuan hugged her tightly, fearing that her life would slip through his fingers: "Li'er, I will always regard you as my beloved wife." Jiang Lingqian smiled again, with a frenzy: "Then you promise again." I have three things." Shen Xuan said: "I promise you, I promise you everything." Jiang Lingqian closed her eyes to rest again, she was really tired. Shen Xuan suddenly remembered that in Taihu Lake that year, she also said three things: "In the past, you said that there were three things that could not be done, but the third thing hasn't been told to me yet." "Fool!" Jiang Lingqian said, "The third thing is that I met you... At that time, I hoped to be with you for the rest of my life, but I couldn't do it. There was no marriage contract. Later, many things happened later. ...At first, I thought that you and I were destined to miss each other. But today, when I was dying, you were able to stay by my side. Isn't this a great happiness?" Shen Xuan heard her say death again, and finally couldn't help crying: "Li'er, how could I leave you!" Jiang Lingqian sighed: "Promise me, the first thing is that you must practice martial arts well and avenge me .Brother Xuan, you will definitely become a master of martial arts in the future, just like your grandfather. However, before that, there is no certainty of victory. Please, please don’t rush to find Princess Wuyue. The second thing, I am In this world, there is no relative. Only you, you must remember me, and burn paper money for me every year, at least, at least fifty years..." Even if Shen Xuan is a fool, she can tell that she has worked so hard to keep him alive. The blood in his heart was agitated and he was about to shatter, so he could only say over and over again: "Li'er, you won't die, you won't die..." However, Jiang Lingqian didn't even have the strength to say the third thing. He closed his eyes and said nothing, only exhaled but not inhaled.Shen Xuan looked at her, anxious, and suddenly thought that if he used his remaining internal energy to suspend her, then she would be able to wake up for a while, and have a moment of reunion.He immediately pressed his hand on her Tianshu point. Suddenly, there was a cold needle between his eyebrows, and Shen Xuan, who had been out of his mind for a long time, finally fainted.蒋灵骞颤抖着手，却拔不出那枚绣骨金针：“你要救我，自己还会有命么？”她抬眼望去，发现不远处丛林之中，有一处小小的庵院。 “我不能让他看见我死。”蒋灵骞已经站不起来了，她把飞雪白绫的一头系在沈瑄腰间，一头挎在自己肩上，就这样缓缓爬到那座名为“水月”的庵院门前。 “出家人慈悲为怀，千万救救我的瑄哥哥。”她把那本《江海不系舟》塞入沈瑄怀里，解下飞雪白绫，慢慢向海边的悬崖爬去。 微凉的海风吹动着她的秀发，如朝云漠漠，如暮雨潇潇。只是她的生命，再不会目睹这样的朝飞暮卷了。恍惚中，似乎又听见一声长长的呼唤——“离儿”。她忍不住回头望了望。可是沈瑄此时犹在昏迷中，哪里会唤她呢？她静静坐在悬崖边，等待死的来临。眼前的大海上，似乎吉光一闪，越过一个雪白的幻影。
