After another three days, Zhou Bo and Nalan Qingyan finally decided to start walking out of the nameless canyon in the middle of the mountains.
Originally, Zhou Bo's decision was to leave the canyon after two days of rest, but after thinking about it again, he decided to rest for one more day so that Nalan Qingyan's injury could recover more. Previously, Zhou Bo's estimated time for Nalan Qingyan's injury to heal was about thirteen days. The internal injury was relatively light, and the healing speed of the sword wound under the most important ribs was far faster than Zhou Bo expected, so in less than ten days, the sword wound under Nalan Qingyan's ribs no longer affected his normal movements. Maybe it shouldn't be too strenuous but it's okay to walk regularly.
As early as when he first entered the canyon, Zhou Bo began to observe the trend of the canyon and the geographical undulation position, and after a rough observation, he found a very small and extremely narrow crack path between the two peaks that did not close, stretching above, as if it was an exit to the outside world. Zhou Bo saw that the continuous and winding cracks in the rocks were constantly light, and it was estimated that it should be penetrated, and there would be no situation such as the collapse of the road halfway through. As for where the two of them went after walking out of this mountain road, this Zhou Bo does not know.
When the two men entered the valley, they were left with nothing but one of their own swords. When it comes to survival skills, Zhou Bo's years of experience in cooking in Zixing Peak have played a role. Use green bamboo to make a kettle, and use willow branches to weave a small willow basket that is not very strong, but can carry more than a dozen wild fruits. That day, Nalan Qingyan saw that Zhou Bo had almost turned decay into a miraculous pile of willow branches into a willow basket, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he couldn't put it down and kept carrying it by himself. Even if he went up the mountain road, he was unwilling to hand over this heaviest item to Zhou Bo.
As they walked up the hill and dirt, which could barely be considered a road, they both noticed the difference between Edgeworth and walking. Zhou Bo is a little better, he is used to walking in the Purple Star Peak all the year round, and the Three Pure Heart Method in his body is also firmly rooted, and his inner breath is far away, so that he doesn't seem so tired, and he walks for more than half an hour, and he is still full of energy, and there is no tiredness all the way down.
However, Nalan Qingyan has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he is a woman, and he has never walked such a troublesome mountain road, the soil is soft, and the mountains and rocks are everywhere. After walking for more than half an hour, and less than a quarter of the way through, he was already out of breath, his legs were sinking, and he even stopped and rested.
Zhou Bo saw that Nalan Qingyan's appearance was really hard, so he had to stop and handed one of the two bamboo tubes in his hand to Nalan Qingyan: "Drink saliva, you are not tired!"
Nalan smoked lightly and drank most of the bamboo tube, and the silk scarf wiped the sweat on his forehead, and while fanning himself, he said: "No, this road is too difficult to walk, why did you choose such a path, it is really too difficult to walk!"
Zhou Bo was helpless, and said with the same explanation: "This is the only living road in the entire canyon, and the others are all conjoined mountains and rocks, which are like nature." Unless the two of us fly out, this is the only way to go. This is still the realm of the Dawn Gate, and it is still within the Yunmiao Mountain, it is inevitable that there will be no disciples of the Dawn Gate, if our Imperial Sword is discovered, it will be discovered by the disciples of the Dawn, and it is still unknown whether you will have your life or not!"
Zhou Bo gave a general explanation of the matter, and at the same time faintly reminded Nalan Qingyan not to choose Edgeworth to fly just because of temporary fatigue. Edgeworth isn't tired of flying, but if you don't get it right, even if you don't lose your life, you might be captured and lose your freedom.
Zhou Bo knew that Nalan Qingyan's identity would not be too low in the Demon Sect, and if he was really caught by the Dawn Gate, maybe the battle between the righteous demons would start again. From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Bo didn't really want the two realms to fight again. Zhou Bo had heard Yu Lan say that once during the Great War of the Righteous Demons, the four generations of disciples of the Dawn Sect went out to participate in the war, and less than half of them came back. Although everyone is cultivating and longing for immortality, in fact, some disciples really haven't even spent all their lives as ordinary people, so they have been wiped out in the killing that no longer knows what happened between the righteous and the demons.
Nalan Qingyan glanced at Zhou Bo, and said angrily: "I know what you mean, don't you just don't want me to fly?
Nalan Qingyan also knew that Zhou Bo was really good for her, after all, if she flew rashly, she would be discovered by the disciples of the Dawn Gate, and if she caused trouble to Zhou Bo, her fate would not be much better. If in the past, he was in good health and there was nothing to do, and he would have nothing to do with flying directly at high altitude. Now, the person he was looking for didn't know where he was, and the internal and external injuries on his body had not healed, and he was discovered by the disciples of the Dawn Gate at this moment, and he was really caught or killed directly.
"Oh, eat the fruit!" Nalan Qingyan handed the small willow basket on his right arm to Zhou Bo, and held it high like a treasure. Zhou Bo shook his head: "It's better for you to eat, I'm not hungry yet!"
Seeing that he had made a special trip to raise a high willow basket, Zhou Bo asked Zhou Bo to take a wild fruit, but Zhou Bo didn't appreciate it. Nalan pouted lightly: "Hmph, don't want it, I'll eat it myself!" After speaking, he immediately took out one of the wild fruits in the willow basket and took a demonstrative bite. When the sweet and sour juice passes through the mouth and enters the esophagus, there is a cold feeling, which is extremely comfortable. Nalan Qingyan quickly finished eating the wild fruit, and licked it around his lips with his tongue as if it was an aftertaste, smacking his lips: "It's delicious!"
Zhou Bo looked up at the sky: "Get up, we still have to go up!"
"Huh, so fast?" Nalan Qingyan's body, who had just felt relieved, was soft, and he just wanted to change his sitting posture to rest, but he heard Zhou Bo's urging voice, and whispered: "Is it okay to rest for a while, just for a while!"
"No!" Zhou Bo measured the distance, looked at the sky, and definitely and firmly rejected Nalan Qingyan's request: "It's almost noon, and we have only walked less than a quarter of the way." If we don't speed things up a bit, it's going to be cold in the heights after dark. Your body is weak now, and resting on the top of the mountain may not be good for your health, and we must hurry out of this canyon. When we get out of this canyon, I can promise you that you can sleep for a few days if you want, and rest for a few days if you want to!"
"Okay, then let's go!" Nalan waved his hand listlessly, signaling Zhou Bo to open the way in front, and she herself followed behind Zhou Bo, slowly walking towards the end of the road above her head.
For a whole day, a whole day, Zhou Bo and Nalan Qingyan were both struggling to climb up the high mountain road. The two men rarely rested, struggling on the dirt and gravel of the mountain road. In the afternoon, Nalan Qingyan couldn't walk anyway, so Zhou Bo had no choice but to turn around and pick up Nalan Qingyan and continue to walk towards the top of the mountain.
Nalan Qingyan, who was lying quietly on Zhou Bo's back, flashed a different kind of light in his eyes. Between his noses, it was the smell of Zhou Bo's sweat and a breath of his own, which made Nalan Qingyan feel drowsy. The little hand didn't know when, took out the silk scarf that had never been used only by himself, and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead for Zhou Bo again and again. If the people in the Demon Sect who knew Nalan Qingyan saw Nalan Qingyan's move, they would definitely be speechless in surprise, right? No one would have thought that Nalan Qingyan would lie quietly on a man's back, and would also use his silk scarf to carefully wipe the sweat beads for that man. This treatment, I'm afraid even her father didn't .....
"Zhou Bo, let's take the sword!" When the sun went down and the light began to dim. Nalan looked at the fact that there was almost a fifth of the way away, and said distressed and guilty: "Let's go with Edgeworth, it's okay!"
"What are you kidding?" Zhou Bo said in a rough voice while holding Nalan up with a light cigarette: "The defense of the Dawn Gate at night is only strict and not weak, our two swords are rising into the sky, as long as you are not blind, anyone can see it." If it's Edgeworth, I can't do it now, it's okay, I'm not too tired!"
After speaking, the speed of the whole person increased again. This is also Zhou Bo's solid foundation since he was a child, otherwise he would not be able to support him for such a long time while carrying a person. Nalan Qingyan was also too tired to do it, and Zhou Bo didn't dare to let her down. Although her injuries healed well, she was still injured, and Zhou Bo had no choice but to carry Nalan light smoke on her back and walk little by little in the mountain road that had begun to darken.
When Nalan Qingyan was already asleep and the stars in the sky began to twinkle, Zhou Bo finally reached the end of this road. After bypassing the two huge stones, a cool wind carried the smell of grass at night into Zhou Bo's nose. To Zhou Bo's surprise, the next downhill seemed particularly short, and it seemed that it only took more than an hour to descend to the flat ground. It seems that the original canyon seems to be under the mountain, rather than equally level, which is often referred to as an underground mountain. Stepping on the soft dirt under his feet, looking at the seven huge peaks towering into the clouds in the distance, Zhou Bo knew that he was already far away from the Dawn Gate.
Seeing that the two people finally walked out of the canyon, it seemed that they had also reached a safe place. Zhou Bo gently put the Nalan light cigarette on his back on the ground, he couldn't support it anymore, and the fatigue of his body surged up in an instant. With a long yawn, he lay down beside Nalan Qingyan, sleepiness welled up, his eyes slowly closed, as if it was normal, and he fell asleep peacefully.
The night breeze, still blowing gently, blew through the treetops, through the green leaves, through the quietly flowing stream, with the brilliance of the bright moon, with the sparkle of the stars, sprinkled on the two people on the green grass.
Suddenly, Nalan Qingyan beside Zhou Bo was asleep, his body turned slightly, and he naturally snuggled up to Zhou Bo's side. On his lips, there was a faint smile, slowly emerging, slowly emerging.........
The first to wake up was Nalan Qingyan, who had almost rested on Zhou Bo's back for an afternoon and a night. When he saw the mountains behind him and the cheerful clearing in front of him, Nalan Qingyan looked at Zhou Bo, who was still sleeping, in disbelief, and a gentle smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Feeling the movement around him, Zhou Bo also opened his eyes and saw that Nalan Qingyan had woken up, and then looked at the sun had already risen in the sky. The warm sunlight shines on the body, and the warmth makes people not want to get up at all, and there is a lazy feeling slowly spreading in the body. Zhou Bo lay on the grass and moved, but in the end he didn't get up, but continued to lie on the grass, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Are you awake?"
"En" Nalan Qingyan sat next to Zhou Bo, looked at the nearby scenery, and asked, "Where is this?"
Zhou Bo said casually: "This should be the northwest of the Seven Peaks of Dawn, I heard from Senior Brother, it seems that it is not too far from Jiyang City, if we go fast, we may be able to reach Jiyang City in about three days, right?"
Zhou Bo said as he looked at the towering Seven Peaks of Dawn over there, and after confirming that his position was indeed in the northwest direction, he nodded to Nalan Qingyan with certainty: "Rest for a while, we have now arrived in the Yunmiao Mountain Range, and the road in the future will be easy to walk!"
Listening to what Zhou Bo said, Nalan Qingyan naturally didn't have any opinions, anyway, the physical strength of the two of them last night was extremely consumed, and there was no problem with taking a break now. Looking at the few wild fruits left in the small willow basket, Nalan Qingyan didn't know what to remember, and with a smile on his lips, he lay down beside Zhou Bo again. Nalan Qingyan looked up at the clouds in the sky, and sighed faintly: "How good it would be if you joined our Demon Sect!"
When Zhou Bo heard Nalan Qingyan's words, he knew that she still hadn't given up her desire to let herself enter the Demon Sect, and said with a wry smile: "Nalan Qingyan, I'm just a little disciple on Purple Star Peak, not a master, nor a person with excellent qualifications, I really don't deserve your favor." You don't need to say much about this, I won't change my mind. Anyway, we're friends. You're my first friend outside of the Dawn Gate, and I don't want our relationship to go bad because of the Righteous Devil's Path, you know what I mean?"
Hearing Zhou Bo's words, Nalan Qingyan knew that Zhou Bo was determined, and he was unwilling to leave the Dawn Gate and join the Demon Sect no matter what, so he had to sigh: "I don't know what is good about your Dawn Gate, I have to rely on it, so that Miss Ben seems to have to bring you back to the Demon Sect, who cares about you!"
This sentence was a little more pure and angry, and after saying this, Nalan smiled lightly and said, "You said we are friends?"
"En" Zhou Bo nodded: "Aren't we friends? You saved me once, and I saved you once." After so many days together, and we don't have such a strong sense of hostility between the demons and demons, don't you think we're not friends?"
"Yes, of course we're friends!" Nalan said hurriedly, with a smile in the corner of his eye. At this moment, Nalan Qingyan really admired himself, and he really praised himself for his move of blocking Zhou Bo at a critical moment, which was really too correct. Although she was also wondering why she would make such a move to defend the righteous path disciples at that time, what she did was what she did, and it also brought unexpected results. She didn't expect that Zhou Bo, the seemingly incompetent disciple of Dawn who she captured with one move, turned out to be a guy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. When he saw Zhou Bo's powerful sword that day, Nalan Qingyan's heart was shocked, and at the same time, he secretly commented on Zhou Bo in his heart: This guy is by no means ordinary!"
"Well, it's good to be friends. Let's say okay first, in the future, you are not allowed to ignore me because I am a disciple of the Demon Sect, no matter what, we have been together for many days, and this friend can barely do it. It's the first time this girl has been friends with someone else!"
