Chapter 43: Zhao Zhijing Escapes and Yin Zhiping Returns to the Church
Yin Zhiping hugged Li Mochou tightly, looking at the familiar and beautiful face in his arms that had been in slept forever, and for a moment, all kinds of emotions such as grief, sadness, and liberation filled his heart, mixed feelings. The past and Li Mochou's experiences emerged one by one in front of him. There was joy, pain, entanglement, love, and hatred...
I don't know how long it took, but he finally came to his senses and found that it was already night, and mottled moonlight shone through the branches and leaves. The tears on his face had already been dried up by the wind, and Li Mochou's body in his arms was already cold. His body was wet and greasy, and he didn't know how much blood was stained with Li Mochou's body.
He pulled out the sword of Zhao Zhijing that was inserted into Li Mochou's chest with his backhand. Only then did he find that the sword was intact and there was no gap on the sword. His silver dragon sword and Li Mochou's golden snake sword were both swords that could divide gold and break iron. Zhao Zhijing fought fiercely with the two of them. He knew how many times the sword had collided with the two gold and silver swords, but it was still intact at this time. It was obviously a sword that Zhao Zhijing specially found.
However, he didn't have the intention to take a closer look at it. He just took a look and threw it aside. Then he reached out and picked up the Golden Snake Sword that Li Mochou had thrown on the ground, and then looked at the needle capsule containing the Ice Soul Silver Needle next to it. He thought about it and dug a hole on the ground with the Golden Snake Sword and buried the poison needle on the spot.
Then he put away the Golden Snake Sword and stood up in his arms with Li Mochou in his arms. He turned around and identified the direction. Suddenly, he found that Zhao Zhijing, who had been cut off his arm before and was knocked out by a palm of his chest, was no longer visible.
He had only seen Zhao Zhijing fly out and fall to the ground with his arm, and struggled for a long time without getting up. He thought that Zhao Zhijing was not dead for a while. Most of the time he had been seriously injured by Li Mochou and could not live long. He never thought that he was so desperate that he had not died yet, and he ran away at this time.
After Li Mochou died, he fell into a sudden loss of consciousness, but did not notice when Zhao Zhijing escaped. He carried Li Mochou to the place where Zhao Zhijing was before, and only saw a large pool of blood left on the ground, and all of them had penetrated into the ground and it was a little dry. It was obvious that Zhao Zhijing had been running away for a while.
When Zhao Zhijing escaped, the bleeding from the broken arm was obviously not completely stopped. Yin Zhiping could see some blood stains falling to the ground from time to time and messy footprints, moving away in the opposite direction to Lin'an City.
But after following these traces and looking into the distance for a while, Yin Zhiping still turned around and walked towards Lin'an City. He did not follow these traces to chase Zhao Zhijing. First, he really didn't have this intention now; second, he was holding Li Mochou's body in his hand, which was inconvenient; third, according to the bloodstains underground, Zhao Zhijing had obviously escaped far away, and he was chasing him at this time, and he might not be able to catch up again.
At present, he just wanted to bury Li Mochou as soon as possible, and the rest were really unconscious. It would not be too late to settle the accounts with Zhao Zhijing. Zhao Zhijing had been cut off by Li Mochouqi and held the right arm with a sword. He was seriously injured and had a palm. It would definitely be a great loss of strength. He would not be able to escape far in a short period of time. After returning to Lin'an, he could send Quanzhen disciples in Lin'an City to search for clues.
After leaving for a while, Yin Zhiping finally saw the walls of Lin'an City in the distance. There were imperial guards patrolling the city walls, and there was a burning brazier lighting at any distance.
Seeing the fire on Lin'an city wall and the fire above, Yin Zhiping remembered that it was dark and night. Lin'an City was probably locked in the door. After thinking for a moment, he turned to the family outside the city closest to him.
There are three Quanzhen Sect's sub-views outside Lin'an City. The one closest to his current location is called Longqing Temple. When he hugged Li Mochou to Longqing Temple and knocked on the gate of this sub-view, he immediately alarmed everyone in the temple.
When Li Mochou kidnapped him and left that night in Yangzhou, he imitated the letter he left behind. Yin Zhiping probably had already been sent back to Lin'an by this time. However, the content of the letter was too shocking. Yin Zhiping estimated that after the letter was sent back, Li Zhichang would not make a big fuss, and would not immediately send it back to Zhongnan Mountain. He should at least wait a few days to see if he would come back, and at the same time he wanted to find a way to confirm whether what was said in the letter was true.
Looking at the reactions of everyone in this family's split view, Yin Zhiping thought in his heart that he was indeed not wrong. These people were obviously unaware of his "apostate elopement with Li Mochou" and still treated him as the leader of the sect. Although he was not wearing a Taoist robe at this time, his image was very embarrassing, and he was holding a woman's body in his arms. Although he had many questions in his heart, he kept silent, and no one dared to question him more.
At this time, Yin Zhiping was really not in the mood to explain to them, but he ordered people to find a place to put Li Mochou's body first, and then let them go to the city early tomorrow morning, as soon as the city gate opened, they would immediately go to the city to buy a good coffin and come back. After entering the city, they also went to Wanshou Temple to inform Li Zhichang about his return.
The owner of this Longqing Temple also had a very eyebrow. While Yin Zhiping was going to place Li Mochou's body, he ordered people to burn hot water, prepare clean clothes, and arrange for Yin Zhiping tonight's residence. After Yin Zhiping put out Li Mochou's body, he respectfully invited Yin Zhiping to take a shower and change clothes, and then went back to the room to rest.
Yin Zhiping was really embarrassed all over now, and he was stained with a lot of blood on Li Mochou's body. He didn't refuse when he heard this. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he returned to the room arranged by the owner for him, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
During this day, he first swam away from the boat, and then fought fiercely with Zhao Zhijing and Li Mochou. Later, in order to untie the acupoints as soon as possible, he suffered some internal injuries. He experienced a lot this day, and there were also major events such as Li Mochou died to save him. At this time, he was very tired in both physical and mental health. But after lying on the bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. After closing his eyes, his eyes always flashed in his eyes with the scenes of Li Mochou being with the two people in the past.
In the end, he simply pointed out his sleeping hole before forcing himself to fall asleep. After getting up the next day, he looked at the sun outside the window and asked for a meeting that it was already past Chen.
He put on his clothes and opened the door, but saw a disciple from the temple waiting outside the room. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly paid a visit.
Yin Zhiping asked what he had told last night that he had done. The disciple replied: "Looking back, as soon as the city gate opened this morning, the temple owner personally took people into the city. Now the coffin has been bought, and the temple owner is asking someone to sort out the face and change the shroud for the girl. Uncle Li has also come back with the temple owner and is waiting in the side hall."
Yin Zhiping nodded after hearing this and said, "Follow me to see that girl first."
