Chapter 42: Awakening (End of this Volume)
"call……"
A giant bird with red body fell from the sky and fell into the mountains and forests.
On the back of the giant bird, Bei Zhen, one of the three masters of Beicheng's palm seals, was standing. Now his injuries were not serious, so he came to chase Ji Changkong, but now what he saw was the corpses on the ground, all of which were from Beicheng.
"Ji Changkong can still escape at the end of his strength? Humph, I want to see where can you escape?"
Bei Zhen swept around carefully and found some footprints, but these footprints were very mixed, with one of them clearly heading towards the southwest.
However, Bei Zhen sneered and said, "I learned to hide my traces, but I thought I would be fooled in this way?"
Then, Bei Zhen patted the giant bird under him, and flew in the opposite direction of his footprints.
After a while, a figure emerged from an inconspicuous bush, which was Ji Wei.
He looked at Bei Zhen who was flying away, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured in a low voice: "It shouldn't be hidden from Bei Zhen for how long, but when you return, no matter how much you search, it's too late."
These traces were naturally done by Ji Wei on purpose.
However, Ji Wei didn't dare to stay here anymore and rushed towards the rugged road.
****
On the rugged road, a carriage and a black-hoofed cow were galloping past, as if in a hurry.
Ji Cheng, Ji Yun and others were all in the carriage. Looking at Ji Changkong with bloodstained on the carriage, their eyes showed an incredible look. This was a existence that even the three masters of the palm seal masters feared, like the Nine Heavens gods, but now they have become like this.
"Master Ji Cheng, is this... this Ji Changkong?"
Ji Yun, who had carved the divine seal, mustered up the courage and asked in a low voice.
Ji Cheng glanced at Ji Yun and the other three, nodded and said, "Yes, this is Ji Changkong, my father and I rescued him from the people in Beicheng. I believe you know what this means. Once the news leaks, our entire Jijiazhai will pay the heaviest price for it!"
Ji Yun and others felt a stern. Although they were just some 14 or 15 years old, they also knew that Ji Changkong was the one who was going to kill in Beicheng's Seal Master. Ji Cheng rescued Ji Changkong. Once he was discovered, he would have to face the anger of Beicheng's Seal Master. This was anger that the entire Jijiazhai could not bear.
"Young Master, don't worry, we won't say it out, but Ji Changkong has been unconscious and may not be able to get back to the village."
Ji Yun said it right. Ji Changkong still has a pulse, but it is gradually weakening. Over time, there will definitely be problems.
Just when Ji Cheng was at a loss, a slight abnormal sound rang out outside. Ji Cheng lifted the curtain and found that it was the father behind him who had finally arrived back.
"Father, isn't it okay?"
Ji Cheng asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, Old Ancestor Bei Zhen came to track Ji Changkong himself, but I used some disguised traces to deceive him. Even if he discovered that he wanted to track him again, it was too late. How about Ji Changkong?"
Although Ji Wei said it very easily, Ji Cheng's heart tightened slightly. His father actually wanted to confuse the ancestor Bei Zhen. Fortunately, he was not discovered by the ancestor Bei Zhen, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hearing his father's inquiry, Ji Cheng shook his head and said with a serious expression: "The situation is a bit unoptimistic. Ji Changkong has been in a coma all the time and has not woken up."
Ji Wei also frowned, but he couldn't think of any way, so he had to let Ji Yun and others leave the carriage and go to Uncle Shi's black-hoofed cow. Anyway, the black-hoofed cow's back was also very spacious, and there was no problem with sitting on several people, leaving the space for Ji Changkong.
"There is no choice now. Cheng'er, take good care of Ji Changkong in the carriage, and let's talk about everything when you return to the village."
Ji Cheng nodded, and he also knew that their top priority now was to get rid of the Bei tribe's tracking, the farther away, the better. It would be better to rush back to the village first.
Then I will find a way to save Ji Changkong.
In the carriage, Ji Cheng had been with Ji Changkong, and he had always paid attention to Ji Changkong's pulse. However, Ji Changkong's pulse was getting weaker and weaker, and he might not be able to support Ji Jiazhai.
What's more, even if you return to Jijiazhai, what can I do? Ji Changkong was injured by the Seal Master, and I'm afraid only the Seal Master can cure his injuries.
Ji Cheng swept over Ji Changkong's body. The other party was wearing a jade pendant around his waist, which looked very delicate. If you look closely, you can see that the word "Ji" is vaguely engraved on it, which should be a relic of the Ji clan.
Thinking of the fate of the Ji clan, all 180,000 people were killed, Ji Cheng couldn't help feeling trembling. Jijiazhai was too weak, and whether it was facing Haojiazhai or Beicheng, they were really weak and pitiful.
Perhaps in a short while, Jijiazhai will face the fate of the Ji clan at that time.
"No, I must not let Jijiazhai be destroyed!"
Ji Cheng clenched his fists tightly. He remembered his mother and his younger sister. This kind of warmth in home made Ji Cheng very much miss him and did not allow anyone to destroy this warmth.
"The only way is to save Ji Changkong and save him, and everything will have hope! But how to save him?"
Ji Cheng looked at Ji Changkong, who was seriously injured, and countless solutions flashed through his mind, but they were all denied by him one by one and had no effect at all.
"What is the most important thing about the seal master? At the seal ceremony, the three seal master ancestors were willing to carve the divine seal only after they obtained the seal stone... By the way, the seal stone!"
A sudden light of inspiration flashed through Ji Cheng's mind, Yuanqi Stone, even the three masters of the palm seal masters need Yuanqi Stone, so Yuanqi Stone must be very important to the palm seal master.
Just so happened that Ji Cheng got three Yuanqi stones from Bei Hai, and his body absorbed two Yuanqi stones and transformed them into a golden constitution that he still doesn't know what it does. Since he didn't know how to explain to his father, Ji Cheng never took it out and was in his arms at this time.
Thinking of this, Ji Cheng no longer hesitated and immediately took out the only piece of vitality stone from his arms.
However, Ji Cheng didn't know what to do when he took out the Yuanqi stone. He looked up and down at Ji Changkong and found that there were some fine seals on Ji Changkong's forehead, but the seals at this time were faintly visible and dull.
“Give it a try.”
Ji Cheng placed the Yuanqi Stone directly on Ji Changkong's forehead.
"Buzz".
As soon as he put it on, Ji Changkong's body shook slightly. Then, the seal on his forehead immediately emitted a faint light, as if countless tentacles were wrapped around the Yuanqi stone, as if it was absorbing the power inside the Yuanqi stone.
“It works?”
Ji Cheng was delighted. It seemed that this should have worked, but I don’t know if it would be helpful to Ji Changkong’s injury.
As time went by, the marks on Ji Changkong's forehead became brighter and brighter. Instead, Ji Cheng's energy stone quickly became smaller and eventually turned into a pile of gravel. It was gently blown by Ji Cheng and fell into the carriage.
"Swish".
Without any warning, Ji Changkong in the carriage opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Ji Cheng's eyes.
"You're finally awake!"
Ji Cheng opened his mouth and said simply.
"I remember you, using the Thirteenth Stage of the Quick Knife, it seems that my life should not be lost, and I was saved by you."
Ji Cheng and Ji Changkong looked at each other for a long time, but no one spoke again.
Suddenly, both of them laughed, and the tense atmosphere was swept away, while the carriage was still running forward, and it was getting further and further away from the prosperous Beicheng...
