Copper Coins Chapter 44: Pandemic County (2)

This surnamed Xue was born to do big things. Even if he led people to escape, he would run with earth-shattering and thunderous thunder, as if he was not worthy of his face if he was small. His lower body is not convenient, and it is difficult for his tail to cooperate properly.

"It's all about the strong wind that I've brought in, or the push or the support, to be able to control the direction." Xue Xian sat leaning against the tree soaked, patted his leg, and said lazily, "You are Thinking about it with my feet, I know that it will be somewhat unstable, isn't it obvious?"

In fact, it's not "somewhat" unstable, but very unstable, which can be described as extremely thrilling-

Stone Zhang frantically prayed that the ancestor's claws would be hooked a little tighter all the way. He only hated that he didn't have eight feet and couldn't be entangled in the dragon's claws like the cuttlefish. Whenever Xue Xian rolled around in the clouds, or soared higher, he was so excited that he felt like he had risen to the sky, and at the same time he was so frightened that he screamed and screamed. It was really exciting. lost.

When the waves were in the sky, Jiang Shining was fortunate. He felt fortunately that he was wise. In the inn, he changed back to the papery appearance and slipped into Lu Tianqi's secret pocket. The paper skin is light in weight, and the secret pocket is hidden in the front of the shirt, so there is no need to worry about falling off.

Who knew that his happiness didn't last long, because Xue Xian was too fast, and the wind alone could not stop him when he landed. He couldn't control his tail. He couldn't think of a more suitable method, so he chose The Jincheng Lake, which is deep and wide enough to rise, serves as a foothold.

A black dragon of that size, rushing straight down like this, might splash half of the lake water and shatter a whole section of the city wall.

How clever is this ancestor, he saw that he couldn't stop the car, and in the middle of the road he threw the crowd and turned back into a human, and he didn't forget to grab the clothes from Xuan Min's hands at that moment.

So, after hearing a few bangs, everyone smashed into the water one by one.

As soon as Xue Xian fell into the water, he was caught by Xuan Min.

It was said that the two of them went upstream. In fact, Xue Xian, who was half paralyzed, only moved his wrist symbolically, but he was actually brought ashore by Xuan Min.

Stone Zhang and Lu Nianqi were just slapped by the water, Jiang Shining was almost soaked in the water - a mere piece of paper, not copper, this has been punished several times.

When he was taken out by Xuan Min and hung on the withered grass to dry, he had a feeling of the rest of his life, but he didn't dare to move his hands and feet at all, for fear that if he moved a little, his arms and thighs would be broken on the ground.

Jiang Shining has lingering fears: "What do you think, ancestors?" To throw people directly at such a high place?

Xue Xian put his elbows on a stone next to him, and said casually, "I had an idea."

"..." Jiang Shining vomited blood silently.

This ancestor was leaning against a tree behind him, and the black clothes on his body were casually wrapped in a hurry, half-hanging, which was rather uninhibited.

Xuan Min couldn't stand the feeling of being soaked all over his body, so he drew a rune on his hand, and the monk's robe was completely dry in the blink of an eye, so white that it was spotless. He walked a few steps among the grass, leaned over and smeared Lu Tianqi and Shi Shizhang's foreheads with his blood-stained fingers, and touched Jiang Shining's trembling paper again.

The pale bloodstain quickly disappeared.

"I feel... a fire is burning me." Jiang Shining said carefully.

"Clothing spell." Xuan Min explained lightly. The reason why I only smeared a rune on them without drawing a complete rune is because the moment it takes effect will be a little hot, I am afraid they can't bear it.

Jiang Shining was a thin slice, almost half of it dried up in the blink of an eye, and suddenly relaxed, completely paralyzed on the branches and leaves of the withered thatch.

Xue Xian tugged at the neckline, and the clothes soaked in water were tightly adhered to the skin, heavy and uncomfortable.

He was about to steam the heat from his body to the surface of his skin so that he could dry his wet clothes when Xuan Min, who had settled down the group, walked over.

Although the white linen monk's robe is a bit unlucky in the eyes of ordinary people, it is really good-looking, like a white mist in the middle of the night, the hem swept lightly over the dead grass and gravel, but it does not touch any dust or stars.

Xuan Min walked in front of him and looked down, Xue Xian was still sitting lazily, looking up at him indifferently.

I was waiting for him in the inn to say something, and almost didn't suffocate himself to death. Now Xue Xian is waiting for something with a certain mentality that he can't explain clearly, and his brain should be used to raise fish. .

"Don't stand in front of others." Xue Xian said calmly.

Xuan Min was standing, he was sitting, if he didn't look up, he could only see Xuan Min's hand hanging by his side.

Just when he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Xuan Min, the hand hanging in front of him suddenly moved.

Xuan Min didn't bend down, just lowered his eyes, and gently lifted Xue Xian's thin chin with the bend of his fingers, causing him to half-turn his face, and his blood-stained fingers fell to Xue Xian's forehead.

Xue Xian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Xuan Min's fingers. I don't know if it was his delusion. He felt Xuan Min's blood-stained thumb stop on the side of his face.

For a moment, he felt that Xuanmin's fingers were about to touch his face, but the pulp of the finger only gave a slight pause before moving it up and wiping it lightly on his forehead. Xue Xian raised his eyes. Seeing that Xuan Min was still in that cold and indifferent appearance, his calm and unwavering gaze fell on his forehead, as if he was doing something extraordinary.

Xue Xian couldn't see what the bloodstains on his forehead looked like, but he could feel that the wet and sticky clothes all over his body were drying quickly.

"Can bending over kill you?" He straightened his clothes and said lazily.

Xuan Min put down his hand and finally looked into his eyes, "You don't need to face people with the back of your head?"

Xue Xian: "..."

He just wanted to smother the bald donkey's face with the boulder he was leaning on his elbow, "I'd love to, if you can, get out!"

Xuan Min is used to having few emotions, and he has never been able to study the emotions of others in his life. Xue Xian's temperament of changing his face faster than flipping a book, clinging to people one moment and rushing people the next, to him, it's like a person who has never walked on the road has to float on the water when he lifts his foot, the span is really a little bit. big.

Xue Xian patted the stone and chased away the people, and saw the bald donkey standing and looking at him for a while, and then he really got out of the way. He suddenly felt that the old blood was surging in his heart, and he could vomit the bald donkey. Face.

Jiang Shining, who had completely dried himself, slid down from the withered grass and turned back into a human shape. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xue Xian's dark face.

"Why do you look like this?" Jiang Shining thought for a while, and said, "It took a lot of effort and you're hungry again?"

Xue Xian let out an "um" and said quietly, "My teeth are itchy, and I want to eat people."

"..." Jiang Shining looked at Shi Shi Zhang and Lu Twen Qi with concern.

But Xuan Min didn't really go far, he just made a pile of dead branches and leaves between Shitou Zhang and Lu Tianqi, dried it, and made a fire. So that the two frail ones, one big and one small, freeze to death in the process of drying clothes.

After the fire was built, Xuan Min walked back and stood beside Xue Xian.

"What else?" Xue Xian frowned at him.

Seeing that Xuanmin raised his hand and untied the string of copper coins around his waist, he rubbed his fingers in a circle on it, and said to Xue Xian, "Stretch out your hand."

Xue Xian spread out his hand suspiciously, and Xuan Min put a string of copper coins in his palm, "Some instruments have been hardened with time, and they can be used for other purposes."

While saying this, Xuan Min glanced at Xue Xian's unknowing legs.

Naturally, Xue Xian had heard of this statement, but things like "dharma tools" had always been a medium used by ordinary people. He didn't use them, and naturally he never thought about them. The so-called "copper coin uses a layer of oily skin" because it has quenched the spiritual energy. This kind of spiritual tool is a good help. It can be as small as divination, and as large as the five elements of heaven and earth. As long as you have this ability, you can do it. It will be all right.

Anything is possible, which means... maybe it can also help the bones and muscles.

Xue Xian understood what he meant when he thought of the glance Xuan Min had just swept his legs and feet. just...

To most people, this kind of magic weapon is like another life, and it is taboo to others to touch it, let alone send it directly into the hands of others.

Xue Xian looked at the copper coins in his hand and didn't know what to say for a while, his expression was quite complicated.

After a while, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Have you taken rat medicine?"

Xuan Min: "..."

This ancestor was still a little unbelievable. Holding the copper coin, he swayed in front of Xuan Min's eyes, and then again... He wanted to give Xuan Min a chance to regret.

As a result, when it reached the third lap, Xuan Min pressed his paw back quite speechlessly and said, "There is still a ban on this copper coin, but it can be used to some extent, so I can't use it for the time being. Here, you take it first."

"Restriction?" Xue Xian was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something - no wonder the copper coin looked gray and had no spiritual energy at all, so it was. Just... "Who banned it? You yourself?"

"I don't remember." Xuan Min shook his head, "There are five layers on each of them, and two of them have a slightly looser ban. Maybe they can be lifted in the near future."

When Xue Xian heard the words, he bit the tip of his tongue and thought for a moment, but he still took the copper coins. When he was still paper and gold beads, he could still use the advantage of his body shape to rub against Xuanmin's waist to recover. Since he returned to his original form, it was inconvenient for him to lean on Xuan Min's waist, whether it was a dragon or a human.

That scene...it's a bit irritating just thinking about it, let alone putting it into practice. So these days, the recovery of Xue Xian's spine suddenly slowed down. He could feel the change, but compared to before, the change came a little slower. He didn't want to be dragged around with his crippled legs all the time.

Simply dignified.

Xue Xian thought expressionlessly, and without hesitation, he placed the copper coin in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes and focused on raising his spine.

After all, the blood-stained clothes-cleaning spell is not as good as a complete spell. It took a while for Shito Zhang and Lu Nianqi's clothes to dry out, and it took some time to recover from their shock and confusion.

"Why are you not in a hurry?" Lu Twenqi was not used to being a drag on others. After recovering, he asked Jiang Shining a little uncomfortably.

Jiang Shining sat down beside the stone and quietly looked at the city gate illuminated by the lanterns in the distance, "I have to wait for five hours, what's the hurry, it's already at the gate."

The gates of the city are closed at night, and there is a curfew in the city. Even if they got in, they wouldn't dare to knock on someone's door in the middle of the night. However, seeing that the long night has passed halfway, it will be the fifth watch soon.

"The last time I saw my eldest sister was three years ago. She got the news and returned to Ningyang." Jiang Shining murmured, "I can't remember exactly what happened after death, until I got this papery body. It was better, but I remember that she cried and whimpered for so long that when I think about it now, I can still hear some..."

When the bell and drums of the fifth watch rang, the city gate opened, and people in the city got up to work one after another in the morning, and he could see the eldest sister. The souls of the parents who have been guarded for a long time have been transcended.

He has lived for so many years, rarely leaves home, and has never understood what it means to be "near-native".

But at this moment, by the unfamiliar wild lake, looking at the gate of the county town, which is a foreign land to him, as long as he thinks of waiting for a while, all his obsessions will be gone, and he will never worry about it. , unexpectedly gave birth to a trace of anxiety...

When—

After a long time, the five-watch bell finally came out from the city floor after floor.

Everyone briefly packed up and stood at the gate of the city. Just listening to the sound of "squeak", the old city gate was pulled open by the guards from the inside, and the scene in the city was revealed in front of everyone along with a strange wind.
