Chapter 97 Goodbye 2 Tigers
In the bloody sky, Erhu was flying at full speed, but his speed had dropped to half of normal. A huge wound almost hollowed out his entire chest. There was still a trace of black energy lingering around the wound, preventing the wound from healing. Not only that, an evil force was still attacking Erhu's body, making him almost fall.
A group of monsters were chasing behind them in the black wind. The leader was a black bear monster general who was in the middle stage of transformation. He had an ugly appearance and a ferocious expression. While chasing him back, he shouted: "You brat, you can't run away this time." , why don’t you just accept death!”
As he said that, he accelerated to catch up with Erhu again, and slapped him from afar with a palm.
At that moment, Erhu suddenly turned around, and a red light flashed in his hand. The black bear demon knew it was not good, and was about to shrink his hand when he saw blood flowing down, and the arm he stretched out had been cut off by Erhu.
"Ouch!" The black bear demon was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that this person would be able to fight back after being hit by his own black evil fist. But the next moment, the black bear's lost arm had grown back.
Erhu continued to turn around and fly away, but after this strike, his injuries suddenly worsened, and he was secretly complaining in his heart. The strike just now almost condensed his last strength, but it only cut off the black bear's arm. With the strong vitality of this bear demon, it really doesn't matter.
At this moment, all the monsters were chasing after them. Seeing that they could no longer escape, Erhu secretly resented himself and thought, would he use that trick again?
At this moment, a feeling emerged from his heart.
"Two Tigers."
Erhu's heart was shocked: "Master!"
He looked around hurriedly, but didn't see Tang Jie's shadow. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turned out to be an illusion."
But the next moment, an incredible scene happened.
Among the group of monsters that were chasing behind them, a little monster suddenly stumbled and bumped into a monster in front of him. The monster was caught off guard and threw the sword in his hand before he could catch it. The sword flew out and hit the head of the black bear demon in front, causing the black bear to stagger. Although this knife failed to do anything to it, it completely angered the black bear. He turned around and shouted: "Who is it? How dare you hit me."
But the next moment, winds and clouds surged in the sky, and thunder and lightning suddenly condensed and fell together towards the demon group. The demons who were immediately struck were in a panic.
To be honest, these thunder and lightning hurricanes are not very powerful, but they appear strangely and show no signs of mana fluctuations. They hit the target again and again without missing a beat. The black bear was so angry that it screamed and shouted: "Who is it?"
But no one answered him.
Erhu was looking at it blankly, but he heard a voice that seemed to say to him: "Hurry up and leave!"
This voice is not real, just like some kind of feeling coming from somewhere, giving people a sense of unreality. But at that moment Erhu suddenly woke up, turned around and ran away.
The black bear in the rear still wanted to chase, but in addition to the thunder and lightning wind whirlpool, there was also a little demon who was also confused. From time to time, it would send some wrong-handed attacks to it, which annoyed it so much that it actually slowed down its pace. Seeing that damn human being running away like that, he was so angry that he jumped on his feet and cursed.
After finally escaping, Erhu himself felt a sense of disbelief. If it was the master who rescued him, why didn't the master show up? And the technique used is so weird and peaceful?
Just as he was thinking about it, that strange feeling enveloped his body again.
Erhu was shocked, and the next moment he blurted out: "Daoxiang Village!"
There is no reason, Erhu has already understood that Tang Jie is in Daoxiang Village.
Gritting his teeth, Erhu turned his head towards Daoxiang Village.
There is no reason, he has decided to believe in feeling and the guidance of fate!
This flight lasted several days.
Finally, Daoxiang Village is in sight.
The closer they flew, the more familiar the two tigers could feel.
The master is here!
The master is here!
Erhu was so excited that he wanted to shout.
He flew straight into Daoxiang Village, descended from the sky, and followed the guidance in his heart to arrive in front of Tang Jie's house step by step.
Then he saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man standing in front of an iron furnace, holding a sledgehammer in his hand and hammering the iron. Around the shop, there were still some villagers standing, looking at him in astonishment.
Erhu ignored the villagers and just looked at the blacksmith.
The blacksmith raised his head slightly, revealing a weathered but familiar face, smiled at him and said, "You're here."
"Master!" Erhu shouted.
Already in a coma.
When he woke up again, Erhu found himself lying on the bed. The terrifying hole in his chest had been filled up again, and his skin was so smooth that not even a scar could be found.
He turned over and sat up and walked out of the room. In the shop outside, Tang Jie was repairing a broken plow. When he heard the noise, he looked back and said with a smile, "Wake up. There is water next to you. Pour it yourself and drink it." .”
"Master..." Looking at Tang Jie's "old" face, Erhu said these two words with difficulty.
I wanted to ask how Tang Jie became like this, but I couldn't figure it out.
The Tang Jie who had grown up with his feet on his chest and had hills and valleys in his memory was gone. What was replaced was a Tang Jie who was blacksmithing and farming. Erhu couldn't imagine or understand it.
Tang Jie was doing his work leisurely and contentedly: "Don't be so strange. If you don't go through some hardships when doing things in the village, the villagers will not be used to it. But this time you came here and you exposed me. Anyway, exposure is fine. Expose it, it’s actually not a big deal.”
Erhu was stunned when he heard this: "Master, how long have you been here?"
"Twenty years." Tang Jie replied without raising his head.
Twenty years.
The two tigers were shocked.
No wonder Tang Jie became like this.
But why did he stay in this village for twenty years? Also, was the call I felt before caused by my master?
There were so many questions that he wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, Erhu couldn't say them out.
Looking at Tang Jie at that moment, I felt a burst of sadness for no reason, and then my eyes became sore.
Erhu knelt on the ground with a plop.
He burst into tears: "Master, I have worked so hard to find you all these years!"
Eighty years of bloody battles, countless narrow escapes, countless hardships, struggles and even despair, and persistence and fighting again and again, just to see the master again.
When they met at this moment, all the sadness, all the pain, all the disappointment, all the grief burst out, and Erhu was holding Tang Jie's thigh and crying.
Tang Jie sighed, touched Erhu's head and said, "In terms of age, you have lived for nearly a hundred years, and in terms of cultivation, you have already entered the spiritual world, so why are you still like a child?"
Many villagers gathered from all directions and watched this scene quietly.
An old man holding a dragon-head crutch came out, bowed deeply to Erhu and said, "May I ask if this is Senior Erhu?"
Erhu raised his head, looked at the old man doubtfully, and nodded slightly.
The old man immediately became excited: "My father is a second-born child."
"Second son?" Erhu was stunned.
He looked at Tang Jie, who nodded and said that he had known it for a long time. He has lived in this village for so many years, how could he not know the situation of the villagers, but he has never revealed it.
Erhu said: "Where is your father?"
The old man replied: "I went there more than thirty years ago."
Er Hu was stunned: "When Er Yuzi and I separated, he was just a little kid who didn't understand anything... I didn't expect that it would be eighty years in a blink of an eye. Things have changed and people have changed. There must be no one here who knows me. .”
After hearing what he said, it was confirmed that he was the Erhu who left Daoxiang Village that year. All the villagers knelt down in cheers.
Not only did he kneel to Erhu, but he also knelt to Tang Jie.
Although no one in Daoxiang Village knew Tang Jie and Erhu, their legends had always lingered here. It was not until today that they understood that the so-called Tang Blacksmith was the former Tang Immortal.
This day was an unprecedentedly lively day in Daoxiang Village.
Daoxiang Village cheers for the immortal Tang Jie who has been "guarding" them.
Yes, in their opinion, Tang Jie stayed here just to protect them.
The village was singing and dancing, and in the house, Erhu was telling Tang Jie about his bloody eighty years of life.
After being separated from Tang Jie, Erhu embarked on a long road of cultivation alone.
Since the Blood Demon Sutra relies on killing to prove the Tao, he cannot do this in his own country, so the only option is the demon clan.
So from then on, there was a fierce and murderous figure on the battlefield between the human and demon clans.
Over the years, Erhu has been fighting on the battlefield, starting from the lowest level of little demons and killing all the way up. Erhu's strength is also constantly improving, and the name of Erhu, the Blood Sword King, has gradually become famous among human cultivators.
Thirty years ago, Erhu finally succeeded in breaking through Tianxin. Since then, he has become stronger and more ferocious in his attacks. However, because he still failed to achieve his goal within the agreed time, Erhu thought that the master had left. Despite this, he did not lose heart, but continued to fight hard.
He has killed many monsters on the battlefield and is very famous among the monsters. Many monsters directly offer bounties to him. The life of Erhu, who received intensive care, gradually became no longer easy.
Being chased this time was just a microcosm of countless chases.
Without Tang Jie's help, Erhu might not have died. Because he practices a blood escape method that allows him to escape quickly after consuming a large amount of his own blood. However, this escape method hurts oneself too much, and every time it is used, one's vitality will be severely damaged.
With the power of the Blood Escape Sutra, Erhu had killed so many monsters. The reason why he failed to advance to Tianxin within thirty years was because of this blood escape method. It is Erhu's life-saving method, but it is also the original culprit that hinders him from entering the country.
After hearing what Er Hu said at this moment, Tang Jie nodded and said: "No wonder when I was treating your injuries, I found that your blood energy was severely depleted, your foundation was severely overdrawn, your roots were injured, and you were unable to advance. It turned out to be because of this. With you In the current physical condition, if there are no treasures from heaven and earth, or strong tonics to make up for the shortcomings, I am afraid that I will not be able to make any further progress in my life."
Er Hu said sincerely: "Er Hu doesn't care if he can go further. As long as he can stay with the master, Er Hu will be satisfied."
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Fool! If you can't make progress, your strength won't grow. Even if you stay with me, you won't be able to help me, it will only drag me down."
Erhu was stunned when he heard this: "Master, I..."
"So, master will not accept this kind of thing." Tang Jie stood up and walked out.
"Master, where are you going?" Erhu blurted out.
"Of course I will bring back the heavenly materials and earthly treasures for you." Tang Jie said in a manly voice.
"But... it's hard to find treasures of heaven and earth." Erhu murmured.
"Treasures from heaven and earth are hard to find, but the Demon King's demon elixir is relatively easy to obtain. You can rest here, and the master will come back as soon as he goes."
