Chapter 118 Parting Ways

Jiang Ling walked back to the cabin and saw Lu Qingdu walking out with a shooting sun, so he asked:

"Lu Qing, where's Wu Xing'er?"

"She said to go see Lan Mo. I was about to go out to find you. Why did you come down? The matter is settled? Where are Brother Tang and Brother Li?" Lu Qing asked suspiciously.

Jiang Ling listened to Lu Qing's question, looked at him, gently pushed him back, closed the door, slowly stretched out his hands, hugged Lu Qing into his arms, and said with a sad face:

"Lu Qing, I can't bear it."

"??? Jiangling, what's wrong?" Lu Qing asked.

Jiang Ling let go of Lu Qing, and said with a look of reluctance: "Lu Qing, if I die, you must live on."

"Jiang Ling." Lu Qing frowned, looked at Jiang Ling covered in blood, and said worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you injured? Let me see."

After speaking, he quickly untied Jiang Ling's clothes, but only found some small wounds.He washed Jiang Ling's wound suspiciously, and was about to apply the medicine powder, but Jiang Ling grabbed his wrist and said:

"Lu Qing, me, what should I do......"

As he spoke, he let go of Lu Qing's hand and fell silent.

Lu Qing saw that he was so abnormal, so he asked:

"Jiangling, what happened?"

Jiang Ling told about the battle, and said slowly to Lu Qing:

"Lu Qing, karma reincarnates, retribution is not good. I kill people, people kill me, I will die sooner or later, but you are left alone. I... I am so sad... ... Lu Qing."

Lu Qing looked at Jiang Ling, put his hands on his arms lightly, and said slowly: "Jiang Ling, don't be afraid, there is me."

Hearing Lu Qing's answer, Jiang Ling was slightly taken aback, looking at the gentle man in front of him, he kept a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't express his feelings at this moment.

He suddenly stretched out his hands, took Lu Qing into his arms, and placed a deep kiss on Lu Qing's shallow lips.

Lu Qing was stunned by Jiang Ling's actions, and only slowly woke up when Jiang Ling let go.

Jiang Ling let Lu Qing go, looking at the blushing person in front of him, he regained his clarity in an instant.Thinking about what he had just done, he regretted it for a while.

He looked at Lu Qing who was silent, and hurriedly explained:

"Lu Qing, listen to my explanation, I just now, somehow, I...... I'm sorry."

Seeing him like this, Lu Qing looked at him and smiled slightly:

"It's okay, you can rest easy."

Looking at Lu Qing who was smiling gently, Jiang Ling felt a warm feeling in his heart, and said slowly to him:

"Lu Qing, I feel at ease with you here."

"Well, I've been here all the time." Lu Qing said.

On the deck, Lan Mo finished making arrangements and was about to find Wu Xing'er, but Wu Xing'er walked onto the deck.

"Why are you here?" Lan Mo asked.

"Come and see you." Wu Xing'er said, "Are you okay?"

"Well, it's okay." Lan Mo said.

Wu Xing'er looked at the rotting corpse on the deck of the pirate ship, and said to Lan Mo:

"Have you killed them all?"

"En." Lan Mo replied.

Wu Xing'er looked at him, and after a moment of silence, said: "Lan Mo, there are some things you should let go of, don't be so persistent."

Lan Mo looked at Wu Xing'er, and slowly said: "I know, but I can't let go."

Wu Xing'er sighed and said, "I am indeed not qualified to persuade you on this matter."

"Xing'er..." Lan Mo was speechless.

Seeing that Lan Mo was silent, Wu Xing'er changed the topic and said:

"By the way, why didn't I see Tang Qingfeng, and his Daoist Li, where did they go?"

After hearing Wu Xing'er's question, Lan Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Go, ask Jiang Ling." Wu Xing'er pulled Lan Mo up and walked towards Lu Qing's room.

"Jiangling!" With a bang, the door was pushed open, and the two who were taking medicine were startled by Wu Xing'er who broke in suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the two intruding, Lu Qing quickly got up and stood in front of Jiang Ling, looking at Wu Xing'er who had intruded, with a displeased expression on his face.

Wu Xing'er looked at Lu Qing, and said to Jiang Ling, "Where did Tang Qingfeng and Daoist Li go?"

Jiang Ling listened to Wu Xinger's question, thought for a while, and then said:

"Brother Li fell into the water, Old Tang went to save him, why, the two of them didn't come back?"

Wu Xing'er shook his head, Jiang Ling looked at Lan Mo, and Lan Mo shook his head.

"No, tell Captain Chen to look for it." Jiang Ling quickly put on his coat and led Lu Qing out of the cabin.

The two told Captain Chen about this matter, and Captain Chen thought for a while and said:

"My lord, don't worry, this place is near the sea, and there are many fishing boats passing by, if the two of them survive, they will surely meet the fishing boats and rescue them.

Our boat is too big, and it is difficult to return. It goes back and forth, but it is not as fast as a fishing boat.When we go back, they may have left by boat, so we really can't find them no matter what. "

"But." Jiang Ling was about to argue, but he heard Lu Qing say:

"Jiangling, Captain Chen is right. Brother Tang is strong in force and proficient in water skills. He will definitely be able to save Brother Li. Their lives will not be in danger.

Now that we are scattered and unable to communicate, it is easy to miss each other if we rush to find each other, resulting in a waste of time.Brother Tang also understands this reasoning, let's go to the capital of Guineiping first to find out the news, and wait for them, they will definitely find it. "

Jiang Ling nodded after listening to Lu Qing's explanation.

Wu Xing'er and Lan Mo came, Lu Qing explained the reason, the four of them discussed, and decided to go to someone first according to Lu Qing's words, and wait for Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu.

Seeing everyone's decision, Chen Hai nodded and continued on the route.

On the reef, after Li Zhenwu bandaged Tang Qingfeng's wound, the two sat on the reef and looked at the moonlight, with a slightly sleepy face.Seeing that Li Zhenwu was sleepy, Tang Qingfeng said:

"Zhenwu, go to sleep."

As he spoke, he gave up his arms and motioned Li Zhenwu to step down.

Li Zhenwu glanced at his wound and said:

"Brother Tang, I'm not sleepy yet."

"Zhenwu, I'm sleepy." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and asked in doubt:

"Brother Tang, can sleeping wounds really heal?"

"Well, I never lie to Zhenwu." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

"Okay." Li Zhenwu nodded, gave up his arms, and said to Tang Qingfeng, "Brother Tang, go to sleep."

Tang Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

After a night, Tang Qingfeng woke up from Li Zhenwu's arms. He looked at the sleeping Li Zhenwu, slowly reached out his hand, and stroked his face.

Li Zhenwu was awakened by Tang Qingfeng's movements, looked at him and said:

"Brother Tang, is it dawn?"

"En." Tang Qingfeng nodded and got up from Li Zhenwu's arms.

Li Zhenwu looked at the wound on his abdomen, and the blood seemed to have stopped.He looked at Tang Qingfeng's lips again, they seemed to be much ruddy.

"Brother Tang, how is your health? Are you feeling better?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"Well, it's much better," Tang Qingfeng replied, "Zhenwu, did I not lie to you?"

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng, nodded, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect sleeping to be so effective."

Seeing him amazed, Tang Qingfeng smiled and said:

"Zhenwu, what I said last night was a joke, how can sleep be so effective.

My body has been soaked in various potions since I was a child, which can not only relieve all kinds of poisons, but also slowly heal itself.The wound is very small, one night is enough.”

Li Zhenwu was dumbfounded when he heard Tang Qingfeng's explanation.

Seeing that Li Zhenwu was dumb, Tang Qingfeng smiled slightly, and then said seriously:

"It's hard work."

"Nothing." Li Zhenwu replied.

The two were chatting, when Tang Qingfeng saw a fishing boat passing by not far away, he immediately waved and shouted over there.Hearing Tang Qingfeng's call, the fishing boat slowly sailed towards the two of them.

When they got closer, on the fishing boat, the little old man and the old woman looked at the two people in distress on the reef, and asked in Yingzhou language:

"Where are you from? Why are you here?"

After hearing this, Li Zhenwu replied in slightly jerky Yingzhou language:

"Hello, both of us, we came from Dazhou, and we were attacked by pirates on the way, so we ended up here."

The two old men nodded and looked at Li Zhenwu. Seeing his beautiful appearance and humble tone, they immediately liked him, so they said:

"Oh, it's like this, then you all come up, we will take you back to Yingzhou."

"Okay, thank you both." Li Zhenwu replied, and then said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Brother Tang, let's go up."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng nodded with a smile, and followed Li Zhenwu onto the boat.

On the boat, Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and said, "Zhenwu can speak Yingzhou language."

"A little bit." Li Zhenwu replied: "I used to learn it for reading ancient books."

"Oh? What ancient book made Zhenwu so interested?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"The Benji of the Ten Thousand Gods." Li Zhenwu replied.

"The Chronicle of the Gods," Tang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Is it the book in Yingzhou that everything has a soul?"

Li Zhenwu nodded, slightly surprised and said, "Brother Tang has seen it too?"

"Well, I've seen it." Tang Qingfeng said.

Li Zhenwu nodded, and then suddenly asked with interest: "So Brother Tang thinks, does the spirit of all things exist?"

Tang Qingfeng saw Li Zhenwu asking seriously, so he smiled and said:

"Zhenwu, I have always believed that everything has a spirit. Every flower, every grass, every stone, every tree, every mountain and every river, their spirits, just like ours, follow the Dao and flow endlessly."

"Well, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things start from Tao, merge into Tao, end with Tao, and then reborn from Tao. Cycles come and go, endless."

After Li Zhenwu returned, he turned his head to look at Tang Qingfeng, who was smiling at him.Seeing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

There is no need to prove the tacit action, the intercourse of hearts, and the harmony of souls.The person in front of you is destiny.

The two old men were rowing the boat. Although they couldn't understand their words, they could hear their deep affection from the tone of their voices.

The old woman whispered to the little old man:

"Old man, they are a pair of lovers."

"Aye, what nonsense are you talking about, they are two men, how could they be lovers?" the old man said.

"Amu, why is it impossible? Look at the way they look at each other, full of love, just like when we were young." The old woman said kindly.

After hearing what the old woman said, the old man took a sneak peek, and then said:

"That's brotherhood, you're a woman, you don't understand."

The old woman looked at the old man, smiled softly and said, "You are the one who doesn't understand, you elm-headed one."

"Aye, you scolded me again..." the old man said.

"Okay, it's my fault, go back and make fish soup for you, okay?" the old woman said.

"Okay, Aye's fish soup is the most delicious." The old man smiled.

Tang Qingfeng smiled slightly as he listened to the conversation between the two.

Li Zhenwu was a little embarrassed when he heard the whispering between the two, but seeing Tang Qingfeng smiling, he was surprised and said:

"Brother Tang, do you understand Yingzhou language?"

"En." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

Li Zhenwu was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and said softly: "Yeah, brother Tang, you have read Wanshen Benji, how can you not understand Yingzhou language, I am confused."

"Zhenwu, you are not confused, you are just, if you care about it, you will be confused." Tang Qingfeng laughed.

"........." Li Zhenwu was speechless.
