Chapter 18
No matter what happens in the future, since we have arrived at Yizhuang today, we don't have to sleep in the wild at night.Xue Yang made the bed in advance, and when it was time to rest, he brought dry straw and asked Xiao Xingchen, "Master Daoist, can I sleep in the room? It doesn't take up space, and it's not too close to you, is that okay?"
Xue Yang had already stood at the corner farthest from the bed. Xiao Xingchen judged the distance by listening to the voice, opened his mouth, and finally said, "It's up to you."
Xue Yang was very happy to spread the straw, and he didn't feel that he was wronged by being thrown to the ground.At night, he listened carefully to Xiao Xingchen's subtle and steady breathing, adjusted his breathing until it coincided with Xiao Xingchen's, and then gradually fell asleep.
After Xiao Xingchen returned to Yizhuang, he didn't go out for night hunting again. Xue Yang thought at first that he was tired from walking and wanted to take a rest. After several days, he found that Xiao Xingchen wandered by the door every night. He also often sat in a daze, and Shuanghuajian was left out in the cold, and it became much darker for no reason.
The sound of cicadas resounded throughout the night, and Xiao Xingchen noticed something strange in Shuanghua in his sleep. He held down the sword and sat up abruptly. After a while, he put on his shoes and got out of bed, casually put on his coat and went outside.Xiao Xingchen didn't hear Xue Yang's movements, and didn't want to go in and out with him, so he quietly walked into the courtyard with his sword in hand.
Xiao Xingchen followed Shuanghua's guidance and walked straight to the door, and stopped at the high threshold of Yizhuang. The sword moved restlessly and wanted to call him out to remove the demon, but he was stopped by the threshold like a walking corpse, and froze in place I can't move my legs for a long time.
Shuanghuajian became more and more abnormal, Xiao Xingchen heard a procrastinating footsteps approaching, and stood inside the door with his lips pursed.
The owner of the footsteps stopped at a place less than a sword away from Xiao Xingchen, and stopped moving forward.
Xiao Xingchen sweated slightly while holding Shuanghua's hand, he swallowed, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Is anyone there?"
The sound of footsteps sounded again, but this time it was much faster, and even picked up the wind, rushing straight at Xiao Xingchen. Xiao Xingchen hurried back into the courtyard, swung his sword to block the opponent's vicious sneak attack like a jackal and a vicious dog, "clang" After blocking the sword with a sound, Xiao Xingchen jumped away first to stop the attack, and then he spoke with faint anger: "Xue Yang! What do you mean?"
Xue Yang put away the disaster, brushed the dust that didn't exist on his face, and said, "'Is anyone there?'... Thank you for asking such a question."
He raised his tail slightly, making people feel that he said the words with a smile, but his eyes were cold, and he didn't smile when he looked at Xiao Xingchen.
"Your sword is clearly fine, why didn't you kill me when I walked in front of you?" Xue Yang walked over step by step, the Shuanghua sword moved even worse, Xiao Xingchen just kept his face cold and didn't lift the sword.
"Do you know that if the person standing in front of you was not me, but a real walking corpse, or even a higher-level murderous corpse, you would not be able to live now." Shuang Huajian asked in a cold voice, "You know it's dangerous, why don't you do it?"
Xiao Xingchen clenched his teeth, and after a while, he burst out a few words: "Where's the antidote?"
Xue Yang was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Xingchen asked him in a suppressed and hateful voice, "Why didn't you take the antidote after being poisoned?"
Taking the antidote so early, is it not for nothing that you choked on so much corpse poison powder?Xue Yang felt a little guilty for some reason, and while slowly digging out the Qiankun bag to find an antidote, he said, "What's the matter, I can't die... I thought you didn't care..."
Xiao Xingchen was silent for a long time, when he suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground, he firmly held onto the hilt of his sword, turned his head to Xue Yang's direction, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Xue Yang looked at his stiff fingers, then at the small medicine bottle that fell on the ground, feeling a little helpless: "The poisoning is a bit deep, so I didn't open the medicine bottle."
If I had known earlier that I wouldn't have waited so long for the poisonous hair to come out, I'd just let it go.
Xiao Xingchen didn't speak, turned his toes slightly to Xue Yang, Xue Yang stood motionless, and smiled at Xiao Xingchen: "Master Daoist, I'm moving around now, the corpse poison is spreading faster in my body, help me Can I get the antidote?"
Before Xiao Xingchen could reply, he changed his words again: "Forget it, don't bother. You just wait, it won't be long before I completely turn into a walking corpse, and it will be easier for you to kill me with one sword." .”
Xiao Xingchen followed the sound and walked up to Xue Yang, squatted down and touched the small medicine bottle that fell on the ground, uncorked the bottle and poured a small pill in his hand, paused, and said angrily: "It's already taken out, eat it yourself."
The number of times the Taoist priest got angry with him is beyond counting. For such a good-tempered person, Xue Yang was so angry that he couldn't speak properly several times. He took the medicine and swallowed it whole. After a while, he felt relaxed.
"Thank you, Daoist." Xue Yang put away the antidote, bowed his head and thought for a while, and said, "You saved me again."
Xiao Xingchen didn't want to get involved with him any more, and said, "It's just a little effort, not to mention saving."
Xue Yang kept chasing after him: "Then I still owe you a lot of favors, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay them back in this lifetime."
Xiao Xingchen was helpless with this rogue, turned around and walked into the house, unwilling to continue the farce, but Xue Yang kept silent, chattering after him: "Xiao Xingchen, the Jin family released the The news, saying that the door has been cleared and killed, I am already a dead person in the eyes of the world, and now only you know that I am still alive."
Xiao Xingchen stopped and frowned, "What do you want to say?"
Xue Yang walked around to him and looked at him for a while, seeing that the bandages on Xiao Xingchen's eyes had two faint bloodstains, and his heart ached.He stepped forward cautiously, and said to Xiao Xingchen, "Xiao Xingchen, I won't be Xue Yang anymore, I will be your eyes, I promise, I won't let you kill anyone by mistake."
