Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty-Five

When the sun sets and the full moon is born, the city cools down uncommonly.Dead silence gradually enveloped the city, and soon, the cold air of the night was about to rage, sealing the city, and then, the sharp howls of the mice would turn this place into a city of demons. Especially when Qiuxuan knew why they were howling. In the night, when the cold light of the full moon shines on them, they will go crazy, chasing and biting each other.The loser was quickly swarmed by the surrounding rats, chewing off their bones.The mournful cries of the dying man disturbed the pirates.They cursed in Japanese, and slashed the air wildly with Taidao, as if they were attacking the demon hidden in the night.

Qiu Xuan looked at the moon: "Why are you looking for water so hard?" She asked Guo Ao. "I once went to the wasteland with Zhuo Wangsun. We spent a whole month in the Gobi. He was fine if he didn't eat or drink. After you realize Jianxin, even if your martial arts are not as good as his, it's not too far behind. You shouldn't be able to last for twenty days. Question." Guo Ao said slowly: "The heart of the sword is the heart of heaven. After the heart is formed, my heart is the universe, indestructible. Ordinary people will die of dehydration if they don't drink water for three to five days, but I can gather water vapor from the air. , reverse osmosis skin. Even if you don’t eat or drink for 30 days, you will only lose half of your energy.” He raised his head and looked at Qiuxuan, “But you can’t.” Qiuxuan was stunned.In the past few days, he has tried his best to find water, digging ten feet deep, and mixing with the rats, is it just for himself?

Guo Ao seemed unwilling to meet her eyes.Turning his gaze away, he smiled faintly: "I promised to make you happy, and I want to take you to the ends of the earth. At least I should give you a glass of clean water first?" Qiu Xuan looked at him quietly.She is very familiar with Guo Ao in the past and Guo Ao in the present.But Guo Ao at this moment is a stranger.It is so unfamiliar that it needs to be carefully distinguished before it can be seen clearly. "Come here." She beckoned to him.Guo Ao hesitated slightly, but still walked over.Qiu Xuan gently held his hand: "Thank you." At that moment, her spring-like pupils rippled slightly.Guo Ao's heart trembled slightly.

In the past three years of being imprisoned, he has cultivated his inner demons and achieved the Dao. He thought that everything in the world was not enough to touch his heart, but at this moment, he heard Night Breeze moaning softly under the moonlight. His heart felt a little empty.Time seemed to suddenly return to three years ago, and I became the young man who had first entered Huayin Pavilion, standing under the crabapple tree in a daze, letting her beauty dazzle my eyes. I heard Qiuxuan smiled and said: "It's so nice of you to treat me." Treat her well?kidnap her.He forced her to do what she didn't want to do, deliberately provoked Zhuo Wangsun to break with her in front of everyone, and forced her to come to this dead city full of Junkrats.Is this good for her?Guo Ao was not rich for a while.

Qiuxuan seemed to see what was on his mind, and smiled softly: "You are outstanding in talent, high in martial arts, and you are so kind to me. I should find it interesting..." "It's a pity ..." Her smile slowly froze, she stared at him quietly, and said word by word, "You are not the one I love." Guo Ao chewed her words slowly, a little bitter, but then smiled lightly: "I don't care .” Qiu Xuan raised her head and looked at the starry sky.Her long hair was lifted by the night wind, covering the flickering light in her eyes.Only a soft sigh remained: "But I care." Guo Ao remained silent.

Qiu Xuan looked at the silent Guo Ao, and suddenly laughed: "You don't have to be so sad, I still have a piece of good news that I haven't told you." Her emotions changed so fast that Guo Ao couldn't fully adapt for a while. "I said, you don't need to take care of me." Her eyes blinked mysteriously, and a small jade bottle suddenly appeared in her hand: "See, the Heavenly King Protecting Heart Pill from Shaolin Temple." The jade vase was smooth and round, apparently carved from the finest mutton fat jade.There are several red seal characters engraved on it, which is "Heavenly King Protecting Heart Pill".

Guo Ao recognized that this bottle was a relic of the previous Shaolin abbot.There are twenty-four heavenly king heart protection pills in full bloom, each of which has the effect of life and death, human flesh and bones.No matter how many injuries you have suffered, as long as you take one pill, you can prolong your life for seven days. Qiuxuan laughed and said, "If you take the heart-protecting pill as food, you won't be hungry for at least ten days with one pill. Look at what it is?" She wore a piece of emerald green jade around her neck.Guo Ao always thought it was just a decoration, but when he took a closer look at it, he couldn't help shouting: "Ice chalcedony?" Qiu Xuan nodded: "You know the goods."

Although Tianwang Huxin Pill is a treasure, it can still be found in the world, but ice chalcedony is considered a rare treasure.It is conceived in the center of a jade stone with a diameter of more than seven inches, and its shape is like water. If you can get it when it is just formed, after drinking it, your skill will increase sharply for twenty years.But after seven days of forming, it will condense into essence and cannot be taken.However, because it was born with the mystery of heaven and earth, it is not only invulnerable to ordinary poisons when worn, but also because of the water quality, it can gather moisture from the air.

There is a small groove in the ice chalcedony, and a groove of ice dew slowly condenses.Qiu Xuan smiled and stretched out her finger, and took a drop of crystal dew on the fingertip.Then, lightly touch the cherry lips. Guo Ao remained silent.With twenty-four Heavenly King Heart Protection Pills and this ice chalcedony, even if Qiu Xuan is trapped for three months, she will not be in danger of hunger or thirst.Where to dig a well by yourself.Looking for some water. He looked at the woman quietly, but he still couldn't see through.She is like a begonia in the mirror, seemingly real and illusory, forever unpredictable: "Then why did you come with me?" He finally understood that from the very beginning, he was not the one who kidnapped her.All the way from Zhejiang to the East China Sea, across the South China Sea, to the deserted island, the reason why she stayed by his side was simply because she wanted to.

Qiu Xuan's smile dimmed: "Don't you like me to accompany you?" Guo Ao said indifferently: "I do." "If you like it, don't ask." She sighed quietly, "Don't make me sad." In the clear moonlight, both of them were silent. Suddenly, there was a strange chewing sound, which was particularly ear-piercing amidst the screams of the rats. The Japanese pirates sitting scattered on the street heard the sound of chewing.He raised his ears sharply. They hadn't eaten anything for three days and three nights, and their hunger almost exhausted all their strength.It was as if a wheel was churning in everyone's stomach, making them burn.To such hungry ears, the chewing sound is nothing more than a swan song.

They stood up suddenly, shouted at each other, and walked towards the chewing sound. ——The dilapidated houses were pulled down, and the smoke and dust filled the air.A Japanese pirate was brought up.The Japanese pirates twisted his arm and cursed loudly, as if they were condemning him for hiding food and eating it behind their backs. Suddenly, everyone fell silent, because they saw clearly what the Japanese pirate was eating—it was a mouse.A half of the mouse's head was crushed, but the mouse was still struggling desperately in his mouth. Astonishment and fear made the person who captured him let go of his hand.The Japanese pirate struggled hard, and his two hands were freed immediately. He immediately grabbed the mouse's hind legs and sent it to his mouth forcefully.The squeaking screams stopped suddenly, and half of the mouse's body got into his throat.The weird chewing sound suddenly entered everyone's ears.Everyone stared blankly at him, watching this crazy scene. In just a short while, a mouse was eaten by him.There was an obsessive smile on the man's face, he nodded again and again, and cheered loudly in Japanese: "ぢいしい! (It's delicious!)" "ぢいしい!" He turned to his companion and repeated, "ぢいしい!" In the dull city, there was only this crazy curse left for a while, echoing for a long time.The Japanese pirates looked at the smile on his face and the blood at the corner of his mouth.The thick blood strongly stirred their sense of taste.In the cold night wind, the scarlet is so warm. Sporadic responses sounded: "ぢいしい?" His answer was more like a scream: "ぢいしい!" More people should respond: "ぢいしい...ぢいしい...ぢいしい!" Under the leadership of the Japanese pirate, they rushed to the black swarm of rats.The loud chewing sound almost drowned the entire empty city. When Guo Ao appeared in anger, he couldn't help being stunned by the scene in front of him - a group of Japanese pirates kneeling among the rats, each holding a fat rat in their hands, desperately stuffing it into their mouths.Seeing Guo Ao, they all had intoxicated smiles on their faces, dragged the half-dead mouse out of its mouth, and brought it in front of him: "ぢいしい!" Guo Ao tried his best to suppress the desire to kill, so he didn't cut them all to pieces. The night was shattered by the tragic chewing sound until dawn came. Guo Ao was silent.This dead city is his prison and his paradise.No matter how cruel the environment is, it is better than a place with many people.Here, it reminded him of the desert. At night, if the full moon is not so big, you can see the stars.Starlight in the desert.is the most beautiful.Lying in the sand, looking at the little stars all over the sky in the arms of death, it is like lying between them, and even death becomes beautiful.The dream I had at that time seemed like eternity. He wanted to take her to the desert, just to let her see the starlight there.If she saw it, would she remember him forever? Noon the next day.A string of drums sounded in the dull city.The Japanese pirates walked slowly from the end of the street, beating drums and dancing weird dances.The upper body of the two drummers was naked, exposing their lean muscles, and they beat the big drum.Together with the big drum, they were carried by more than a dozen people. Behind the big drum, all the Japanese pirates danced Kagura solemnly and neatly, and approached step by step. The sound of the drum, like a hoarse horn, filled the air with panic and brutality.Dance spreads in the streets, turning into carnival bliss.The team moved bit by bit, and finally stopped in front of Guo Ao and Qiu Xuan.Everyone suddenly let out a howl. Qiu Xuan stretched out her finger and put it on her lips: "They should be dancing to worship the gods." After a long time, the music stopped, and a man who looked like a leader stepped out, knelt down in front of Guo Ao, and said something loudly.Qiu Xuan smiled and said, "They regard you as a god. They want you to bless them and offer you the most sincere sacrifice." The leader kowtowed a few times and stepped back solemnly.The topless Japanese pirate behind him offered a big basket.The basket was opened, and all the pirates knelt down, chanting prayers aloud. Guo Ao's expression changed.That was a basket of fat dead rats! The leader chattered for a while.Qiu Xuan said: "He asked you, are you satisfied with their sacrifice?" Guo Ao sneered: "Very satisfied." "They ask your blessing." Several people held out a huge bag respectfully, opened the mouth of the bag, and looked at Guo Ao eagerly.Seems to be expecting his blessing.Guo Ao said lightly: "Okay." The sun suddenly brightened.The leader convulsed and his neck was strangled.Guo Ao had no expression on his face, and lifted him in front of him, slowly exerting force on his knuckles.The leader opened his mouth wide, struggling to make a sound, but he couldn't spit out a word no matter what.His face was getting more and more purple, and his hands were scratching at his chest, as if he wanted to gouge out his heart. Suddenly, with a "click", his neck was strangled, and blood splashed more than ten feet. Guo Ao threw the corpse into the bag and said calmly, "This is a blessing, are you satisfied?" The faces of the Japanese pirates changed color, and they all knelt down.They picked up the bag containing the leader's body and knelt down solemnly.There are two large characters written in thick ink on the bag: "Fu Bao"!The dull drum sounded again, and the strange and mysterious Kagura spread in the deserted streets and walked into the palace.night.The screams of the rats were much quieter, and the loud chewing sound did not stop for a moment. These Japanese pirates seem to have obtained the supreme delicacy, and they are frantically preying on mice.Their figures quickly became bloated, each with a monstrously distended belly that almost dragged to the ground.They are still dancing broken Kagura, shouting crazily, searching for delicious food all over the city, without stopping for a moment. This city soon became a real dead city.The group of rats was eaten up by five hundred and thirty-six Japanese pirates.There was no more shrill howling, and the night was dead silent.The moon is still so big and so round, and it illuminates the city as brightly as the day. The bellies of the Japanese pirates were like sacks, deflated.The fire of hunger dominated their bodies again, but this time, it was even more difficult.Once they tasted the deliciousness of rat meat, every emptiness in the stomach made them more uncomfortable. Something must be eaten... they murmured to themselves.However, there is nothing in the city except dirt. Suddenly, a Japanese pirate screamed and jumped up: "Lucky bag!" He danced in surprise, as if the princesses were about to wake up Amaterasu, and kept shouting loudly in Japanese: "Lucky bag! Lucky bag!" The Japanese pirates were confused at first, and then slowly responded to him. "Lucky bag... lucky bag... lucky bag!" They joined in the dance one by one, twisting wildly.There was ecstasy on his face.The huge belly was dragged to the ground, making a muffled sound like a drum. Everyone rushed into the palace and carried out the huge bag. The bag was opened, revealing the half-rotted leader.Everyone jumped up together... The leader's body was quickly dismembered and held in his hands piece by piece.They scrambled, rushed, fought, screaming frantically and urgently, piled up layer by layer, frantically squeezing the people below, trying to grab their own piece.Carrion, internal organs, and even bones were quickly devoured. But those stretched stomachs were not satisfied at all.They licked the corners of their mouths.Tasting the remaining blood on the tip of the tongue, sucking the taste in the air, I can't finish it.The newly aroused appetite stirred wildly, igniting their restlessness and greed.They need more blood, more flesh. Their eyes slowly start to turn red.Red like two blood holes.Looking straight ahead.A little sluggish, and a little weird.In a daze, they seemed to see a lot of blood and a lot of meat floating around, fresh and delicious, enough to fill their hungry stomachs. They screamed and threw themselves on each other. Suddenly, the whole city was filled with that sharp, frantic howling.
