Chapter 236: The Disciple and the Dog (Fourth Update)
By whom, you? Hehe, boy, you're not worthy. Qingchengzi seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhao Song's frivolous attitude, "The reason why I arranged such a place for you is just to let you think about a problem seriously after you have eaten and drunk." ”
Speaking of this, Qingchengzi suddenly fell silent, and the majestic stone statue looked down on everyone condescendingly, as if sure they all understood what they meant.
There was an unbearable silence in the air.
I don't know how long it took, Nie Tian suddenly smiled: "Since that's the case, I'm being disrespectful." ”
After saying that, with a hook of his fingers, two fat rams instantly appeared in front of the three of them, and their dark eyes widened blankly, as if they didn't understand why they were still grazing in the sheepfold just now, why they appeared here in the next second.
"Eat. Nie Tian turned his back to the stone statue and said lightly to the two of them.
It's strange to say, until Zhao Song and Xuan Yujia finished roasting the sheep and eating it, Qingchengzi's voice didn't appear again.
Nie Tian didn't seem to care, and waited until the two of them had eaten and drunk enough before setting off again.
For the warriors, the Tianshan Mountains are a mysterious land, and although there have been expert groups specializing in the study of spirit beasts for hundreds of years, there have been no new discoveries except for some species that have been discovered for a long time.
Of course, this is not because there are only those things in the Tianshan Mountains, but because the investigation team that dares to go deep into the top of the Tianshan Mountain to find the spirit beasts that has never been discovered, regardless of the average strength and experience, no one has ever returned to the foot of the mountain alive, and in the long run, the Tianshan Mountains have become a forbidden place for similar investigation teams.
Fortunately, those mysterious spirit beasts only seem to be interested in the investigation team trying to find out their whereabouts, and they will not take the initiative to show malice to other ordinary tourists, but now of course the situation is different, as the old nest of Qingchengzi, Tianshan will never be as gentle as it has shown so far.
So even the locals who live at the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains don't know what will happen on it.
When he walked into the valley, Nie Tian paused: "Stop." ”
Needless to say, Zhao Song and Xuan Yujia also stopped in unison, because there was a young man in his early twenties standing in the valley, dressed in a navy blue skit, who seemed to be waiting for them.
"Who are you!" Zhao Song stepped forward and asked bravely.
Nie Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't stop Zhao Song's behavior, he knew that Zhao Song was in a hurry to perform.
Among the three, even Xuan Yujia, who was loyal under the control of the ban, was much stronger than Zhao Song on the second floor of the inner gate in terms of strength, and Xiao Zhao Song was a little nervous these days.
Of course, Nie Tian would not comfort, but he would not stop the apprentice from showing and behaving in front of him.
The young man smiled slightly, as if sensing the vigilance of the two, and took the initiative to show his hands in his sleeves, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
He bowed slightly: "Xuanyin Sect disciple Wei is loyal, and he is ordered by the sect master to lead the way for the young master and your friends." ”
It's just weird.
Wei Xiaozhong's words were beyond the comprehension of the two, Xuan Yujia and Zhao Song, you look at me, I will look at you, I want to make sure that I am not the only one who has a problem with my ears.
"Qingchengzi asked you to lead the way?" Nie Tian didn't show surprise, but instead glanced at Wei Xiaozhong contemptuously, and sneered, "It's just a waste, your sect master is not afraid that I will be in a bad mood and kill you halfway?"
Wei Xiaozhong bent down good-naturedly: "If it's really that time, please show mercy to the young master's subordinates." ”
Respectfully, without refutation or confrontation, it was as if he really respected Nie Tian as the young master to whom he had to be loyal.
But Nie Tian still caught the moment when Wei Xiaozhong bent down, and the contempt in his eyes showed in his eyes.
He was also a disciple of the Xuanyin Sect, and this Wei Xiaozhong, who suddenly appeared, had a different feeling from everyone he had seen in the Deep Mountain Castle and the Joy Village before.
Whether it is Zhai Qing or everyone in Xile Village, when they mention Qingchengzi, they are all extremely fanatical in worship, and that kind of belief is that mortals do not want to be denied God.
But Wei is different, although he also respects and believes, but he doesn't give people the feeling of blind obedience of religious believers, and what he insists on saying is very much like the respect and admiration of a real disciple for his master.
Nie Tian curled the corners of his mouth: "I see, you are a disciple of Qingchengzi." ”
Not an inquiry, but an affirmative tone.
The corners of Wei Xiaozhong's mouth hooked a trace of pride, and he pretended to be modest and said: "Wei Xiaozhong, a disciple of the sect master of Xuanyin Sect, meet senior brother." ”
Hehe, he was still a young master before, and he became a senior brother when he was exposed?
It can be seen that Wei Xiaozhong seems to be very disdainful of Nie Tian's identity as the "chosen heir of Qingchengzi", just like a loyal dog who has found out that there are other dogs outside his master.
Qingchengzi sent him without sending others, I am afraid that he also took a fancy to Wei Xiaozhong's character who valued the identity of "apprentice" more than anything else.
It's a pity that Nie Tian has no interest in being a dog, and he doesn't have any enthusiasm for accompanying Wei Xiaozhong to play this kind of palace fighting drama, and after figuring out how many catties and taels Wei Xiaozhong has, he lost interest in him, and said with his chin high: "What are you doing in a daze, didn't you say lead the way?"
Wei Xiaozhong's expression froze, as if he didn't expect Nie Tian to show no interest in his identity at all, and indignation flashed on his face, but he quickly endured it, bent down and confessed to Nie Tian, and really turned around and honestly led the way.
With Wei Xiaozhong leading the way, I have to say that the road ahead has become much easier, it turns out that in the hidden places of many cliffs that seem to be only climbable, there is often a sheep intestine path, although it will not be easy to walk, but at least it is much safer than climbing the cliff.
Everyone lined up in a column, Wei Xiaozhong led the way at the front, Jia Fei followed closely behind him, and Nie Tian led the way at the end of the line.
I don't know how long I walked, but I could only see the slender sky between the cliffs above my head, with smooth snow walls on both sides, and occasionally a few crumbling icicles, and I had to hold my breath when I walked in them.
Under the leadership of Wei Xiaozhong, they continued to walk to the top of the mountain, the temperature dropped more and more severely, through the narrow "line of sky", the road in front of them widened again, huge and sharp ice blocks protruded from the mountain rocks, and sometimes they could see the white bones that had broken through the thick snow and regained the light of day, but the surroundings were no longer white, there were plants.
They emerge from the cracks in the momentum covered in snow and ice, and some even grow into clusters, which grow denser and denser the higher they go, and finally, forming a low bush almost halfway up the mountainside.
Everyone looked at those plants in a strange way, it was a plant that had never been seen before, at least no one had ever seen it outside the Tianshan Mountains, no one could name this strange plant, they looked so fragile, but so special, probably after it seemed to be harsh to the extreme, there would be some seemingly weak species that broke through the soil and survived alone.
The more dangerous the place is than you think, the more miracles happen.
