Chapter Seventy: Shuttle of Life and Death

  Tieyi turned his head to look at me and nodded, slamming on the brakes to stop the car in front of the warning lights. My entire face was flung against the windshield, almost smashing it! I've lost count of how many times I've greeted Old Man Tieying recently.

  We quickly got off the bus and ran towards the bend, with An Xiaoyu floating in front of us. When we arrived at the intersection, we shone our flashlights down the cliff and indeed saw a damaged silver-gray family car lying upside down at the bottom of the cliff. Probably because it was all muddy below, so the car was still relatively intact, just a tilted high-difficulty pose presented in front of us, making me sigh in admiration at the creativity of this little car's action.

  I reckon it's probably thanks to this mud that An Xiaoyu managed to salvage half her life. If she had crashed into the rocks and exploded, the consequences would be unthinkable. Now the most important thing is to merge An Xiaoyu's half-life into a whole one!

  "How are we going down? Are there any other treasures in your car?" At this guy's pace, where everything is possible, I wouldn't be surprised if two parachutes suddenly popped out. Being with him, anything can happen!

  The wind on the cliff is really strong, and it's howling in my ears. I'm clinging tightly to the edge of the cliff, afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll fall off. And An Xiaoyu, this heartless and ruthless person, has actually spread her arms open and is practicing flying skills at the edge of the cliff.

  Tie Yi took a look at the situation below the cliff and immediately sprinted back to the car. I rubbed my eyes, I finally saw the legendary Ghost Chaser, this guy, in the blink of an eye, made a round trip, it was incredibly awesome.

  Just as I realized Tie Yi had left, this guy rushed back. Seeing him carrying two bundles of luggage, I guessed that one of them was my backpack.

  Tieyi tied two bundles of climbing rope together, tied a simple knot that I was very distrustful of, and tied it to the stone railing by the road. He probably tried the weight-bearing degree, said "I'll go down first" afterwards, shouted "Wolf's tooth hand electric", and quickly slid down along the rope. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from sight.

  I lay on the edge of the cliff, doing ideological work for myself, like a military training, standing up and crawling down from time to time, hesitating and contradictory. I seriously recalled my heroic leap off the cliff at the beginning, but I didn't dare to move for a moment, guessing that it was because of the serious psychological shadow left after jumping off the cliff last time.

  An Xiaoyu was floating at the edge of the cliff, sometimes going down to take a look at Tie Yi, and sometimes jumping up to take a look at me. It seemed like he really enjoyed this floating skill. During this time, he suddenly appeared from beside me, and several times I almost sacrificed myself with a startle. But in order to maintain his image, he still had to pretend to be calm and smile, this man is really hard to deal with!

  At this time, I looked up at the sky and estimated that there was not much time left before dawn. After taking a few deep breaths, I slowly got up, holding onto the rope, staring blankly at the section of rope on the ground. To be honest, I have a very severe case of acrophobia, and if it weren't for being hurt by love back then, I would never have dared to jump from the edge of Yishan Cliff. Now everything was normal, but my whole body trembled with tension!

  The rope swayed back and forth in the night wind, I felt dizzy, if not for fear of vomiting on my iron clothes, I almost threw up, at this moment I felt that something like a roller coaster was simply too weak, climbing cliffs at dawn is the king's way, it's too exciting.

  Looking at An Xiaoyu floating beside me, I forced a smile on my face.

  "Sorry, Brother Chui, I..."

  "It doesn't matter"

  "Chui Ge, you're actually quite handsome!"

  "Everyone on earth knows that I am most confident in my intelligence and appearance."

  "Chui Ge, are you afraid?"

  "No big deal, I'm a yin-yang master, this is what I should be doing. No worries, I just haven't eaten yet and my legs are a bit weak, afraid of cliffs? That's nothing to me, it's like splashing water. To show off, I used one hand to grab the rope, one hand to fix my hair, and one foot stepped into thin air, almost falling off."

  Scared me out of my wits, the little bit of composure I had managed to muster up was instantly gone.

  I held my breath and finally started sliding down the rope, my movements exactly as I had seen in the movie, but I had no idea what the visual effect would be like.

  To be honest, from the start of the descent to near the bottom of the rope, my mind was a complete blank.

  Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I was approaching the edge of the cliff. In that instant, I understood what it meant to live through a year in a day. As the scene before me gradually came into focus, I almost shed tears. It's really not easy, damn it.

  At this time, the rope was still more than ten meters away from the overhang. I saw that the rope had reached its end, and Tie Yi, who didn't know how he got down, was already at the bottom of the cliff. After some thought, it seemed that I could only go empty-handed. Thinking back, in my twenty years, I had never had any rock climbing experience, but this first time was so bold. I took one step at a time, each step making me nervous, each step cautious.

  Just as I was halfway up the cliff, An Xiaoyu shouted at me from beside Tie Yi: "Cui Ge, your rock climbing moves are simply cool!"

  My hands subconsciously clenched into fists and I said "Ordinary, ordinary...... Ah!!!!!!"

  Who would have thought, I got excited, my hands were empty, one foot was in the air, and I fell straight down. Luckily, Tie Yi caught me with a hug. An Xiaoyu, who had no shame, held her stomach and laughed uncontrollably, making me extremely angry.

  "Little sister, come here. Tell me, what am I working so hard for? You're still smiling!" Looking at An Xiaoyu's silly and timid expression, my heart softened instantly, and I stopped arguing with her, walking directly towards Tie Yi by the car.

  When I walked up to Tie Yi's side, looking at the family sedan that had gotten into an accident, An Xiaoyu didn't dare come over, sticking close to the cliff wall, probably because of the psychological shadow left behind. I let out a long sigh and turned my head back to look inside the car.

  The car was severely damaged, the body was deformed and twisted, and there were bloodstains all over the outside of the car. Several people inside the car had been thrown to the point where they were no longer recognizable as human beings. After searching for half a day, we finally found An Xiaoyu's true self in the corner of the car. Tie Yi reached in and took An Xiaoyu's pulse, indicating that she still had a weak breath.

  But due to the intense impact, the car has been severely deformed, making the rescue extremely difficult.

  If it weren't for the bronze Chengying at Qitian's waist, I'm afraid we wouldn't have made it in time to save An Xiaoyu. This bronze Chengying is indeed worthy of being the first of the Ten Great Yin Soldiers of the underworld, it's very powerful. The iron filings flew horizontally as we finally saw An Xiaoyu, looking at the giant doll in her arms and the safety belt on her body, instantly understanding that if not for these two things, An Xiaoyu would have definitely died.

  It's not bad to say that this little girl's luck is really good, when she fell off the cliff, there was a doll protecting her, and she just happened to meet me and Tie Yi who could see her, and even more coincidentally, Tie Yi had a bronze Qingying sword that could cut through iron like mud, looking at An Xiaoyu's fate, it's really hard!

  After dragging the car that didn't look like a car, I and Tie Yi finally managed to pull An Xiaoyu's body out of the car and placed it on a relatively flat piece of land near the car. This time, Tie Yi did not make a sudden attack, but instead said directly to me, "This time, let's not play surprise, bring your fingers over, and do it again."

  Looking at the bloodstain on my index finger that had just dried, I hesitated for a moment before handing it over. Seeing Tie Yi pull out the bronze Zhen Ying, I suddenly felt like I was back in the orphanage getting vaccinated as a kid. I closed my eyes tightly and thought to myself that a surprise attack would be more effective.

  As the faint pain at my fingertips subsided, when I opened my eyes, Iron Clothes had already finished. It turned out that this guy had directly made a cut on the old wound and squeezed out a few drops of blood to wipe on An Xiaoyu's brow.

  "What does this mean?" I curiously looked at Tie Yi's strange movements, indicating complete incomprehension.

  "Building a bridge, with the effect of the Blood River Dan pill, to lock down An Xiaoyu's body and soul. If not, then this soul would need a professional Daoist summoning spell, things are urgent, can only try it out, I've also only heard of it but never seen it!" Tie Yi said seriously to me.

  Tie Yi looked at An Xiao Yu on the ground, the drop of blood on his eyebrow had already seeped into his body. At this time, Tie Yi said: "It's almost done, An Xiao Yu come over and lie down on your own body now!"

  "Don't just stand there, let's talk about it when we're back to life, don't drag things out. I said to An Xiaoyu who was hesitating."

  An Xiaoyu seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to slowly make her way over, and as I looked at An Xiaoyu's body lying on the ground, I couldn't help but purse my lips.

  At this time, as An Xiaoyu approached, I saw that the girl's face was covered in tears, and this sudden situation left me completely bewildered, unable to understand what was going on.

  Just as I was about to ask her, An Xiaoyu spoke up first, "If I wake up, will I remember you?" I didn't know what to say to this, so I looked at Tie Yi, who nodded slightly.

  "If I wake up, will you remember me?" This time, I didn't look at Tie Yi, and nodded on my own initiative.

  At this time, An Xiaoyu took out the pen that recorded the last words, spread her palm, "I know, when I wake up, you will be gone, and the time spent with you, I am very happy, really happy, if we can become friends it would be great." As she spoke, An Xiaoyu handed me the pen that recorded her companion's last words, spreading her palm.

  "If we can be friends, write your phone number on my palm, real or fake is fine." Upon hearing An Xiaoyu's words, I quickly picked up a pen and wrote it down, afraid that I wouldn't be able to see it clearly and drew another draft. Tie Yi, however, didn't understand the romantic connotation and said she didn't have a phone number, making the atmosphere very awkward.

  After I finished writing, An Xiaoyu asked us to spread out our palms and write down our addresses and phone numbers. This time, Tie Yi was well-behaved and didn't spoil the mood again!

  After the emotional segment ended, An Xiaoyu quietly lay on her own body, but for some reason, she couldn't fully enter her own body. It wasn't that there was too much of this or that here, but rather that something was protruding from somewhere else. As the sky was about to brighten up, Tie Yi had no choice but to take out a cloth package from his bosom. I knew what this thing was - the legendary Iron Family's Seven Star Locking Soul Needle. With swift and fierce movements, he quickly pricked An Xiaoyu's head, four limbs, heart, and abdomen with these needles. After these few pricks, I looked around cautiously and finally saw that her body and soul had completely merged together.

  Tieyi took An Xiaoyu's pulse and nodded after a moment, seemingly satisfied that everything was all right.

  Tieyi looked at me and said, "Let's go first. The police and ambulance should be here soon after reporting the incident. This troublesome matter is better left alone." I nodded, looking at An Xiaoyu who was unconscious, smiled slightly, and followed Tieyi to start climbing down the mountain.
