"Why can't you wade through it? The water doesn't reach my waist at most. Long Jingtian chased after Tianjizi and asked.

"Didn't you see the stone that Tianjizi threw just now?" Nie Yuanfeng asked Long Jingtian. "What are you throwing rocks for? I'm the best at this. ”

Nie Yuanfeng really didn't bother to explain to this headless and brainless Long Jingtian, but he still said patiently: "The water has washed away the stones, and we will be washed away if we go down." ”

"So that's the case!" Long Jingtian only saw Tianjizi throwing stones, but he didn't pay attention to Tianjizi's intentions. In this regard, he is indeed not as careful as Nie Yuanfeng.

The effort paid off, and about twenty minutes later, a small bridge appeared over the river. But in the face of this small bridge, Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng began to retreat again.

It is a chain bridge made up of three iron chains that shakes even when no one walks up to it. For Tianjizi, this matter is not a problem, but Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng are scared to death and dare not go up.

"Wait for me here. Tianjizi used his divine power to carry a carriage, "I'll transport it all to the other side, and then I'll pick you up." ”

Tianjizi easily walked onto the chain bridge, grabbing the iron ropes on both sides with both hands. Spread your feet apart and walk step by step on the iron rope below.

Walking to the middle of the chain bridge, the iron rope shook the most, and Tianjizi was like an acrobat walking a tightrope, firmly controlling the balance of his body.

Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng both sweated for Tianjizi, looking at the thrilling scene, the two of them didn't dare to walk on the iron rope.

Long Jingtian repeated these bold words over and over again to motivate himself. He finally mustered up the courage and climbed the chain bridge with one foot.

I don't know if it's the iron rope shaking, or Long Jingtian's legs are shaking unconsciously. Anyway, he couldn't stand on his feet. Both hands clung to the iron cables on both sides, not daring to take a step forward.

At this time, Tianjizi had already carried Nie Yuanfeng to the other side of the river. The disciples were also carried to the other side by Tianjizi early, and they all looked at Long Jingtian, waiting for his wonderful performance.

"It looks like I'm in the spotlight today. Long Jingtian suddenly shouted. After this thunderous shout, Long Jingtian turned his heart sideways, took a step, and strode forward.

"Could it be that this is the legendary dog jumping off the wall, it seems that Long Jingtian is out of the way. Nie Yuanfeng muttered to himself.

Long Jingtian really lived up to expectations, and when he reached the other side of the river, he suddenly sat down on the ground. "How's that?

Nie Yuanfeng's gloating appearance made Long Jingtian itch with hatred. "As long as you go through the first time, you won't be scared anymore. Tianjizi pulled up Long Jingtian, "Let's go, let's continue on the road." ”

Where there is a bridge, there must be a village nearby, which is Tianjizi's experience of walking around for many years. As expected, within a few hundred meters, a small village appeared in front of me.

The village is at the foot of the hill, and it looks like dozens of families, all of which are made of stone. Entering the village and walking down a secluded path, a strange feeling swept through the body.

"Tianjizi, why can't you see a single person in this village?" asked Long Jingtian. Tianjizi is also wondering

, I saw that the doors and windows of every house were closed. There is not a single figure in sight on the streets, not even small animals such as cats and dogs. "Who are you?" Just as everyone was wondering, suddenly an old man's voice came from behind.

The voice behind him was hoarse and low, like an emissary from the Demon Realm summoning the souls of the dead. Long Jingtian's hair couldn't help but stand on end.

He turned his head slowly, and saw an old man with silver hair standing behind them on crutches.

The old man looked to be in his prime, the skin on his face was loose and sagging, and his waist was bent at ninety degrees, and he had to raise his head to see the person opposite.

"We're here for an adventure. Seeing that the old man was looking at them with hostile eyes, Tianjizi smiled and stepped forward to explain humbly.

"Get out of here, right away!" the white-haired old man didn't seem to welcome these uninvited guests, waved his cane, pointed to the exit of the village, and gave the order to evict them.

"Grandpa, we're just here to explore, why drive us away. Nie Yuanfeng stepped forward and reasoned with the old man.

The old man's face was expressionless, he just unceremoniously repeated what he had just said: "Get out of here, right away!"

When Long Jingtian heard this, his stubborn temper immediately came up. "Why? You let me go, but I won't. ”

Tianjizi hurriedly stopped Long Jingtian's wayward behavior, he knew that he must be cautious in these isolated and remote areas, especially when dealing with some ethnic minorities.

Because the ethnic minorities in these remote areas often have their own living habits and folk customs, once outsiders break in

If you violate their folk customs, you may incur unexpected trouble.

"Let's get out of here!" Tianjizi turned the carriage around, preparing to lead the disciples away. "Grandpa, you're running out and meddling again. Suddenly, a little girl's voice came. In the direction from which the voice came, a teenage girl was standing by a fence not far away.

The little girl's red face and a pair of black eyes stared at the father and son. He wore a traditional Sogdian dress, the fabric of which was handmade, rough but beautiful.

The old man turned to the little girl and said angrily, "There is no such thing as children here, you go back quickly." The little girl was very stubborn, and he ran to the old man's side and grabbed the old man's arm.

"Grandma said that you are nosy again, so let me pull you back. Long Jingtian couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was an old man who liked to meddle and scare people. He whispered to Nie Yuanfeng, "Fortunately, we didn't leave, otherwise we would have lost an opportunity to explore the ancient village." ”

The old man was dragged back to the fenced courtyard by the little girl. "Hey!" Just as the girl was about to close the fence door, Nie Yuanfeng shouted at the little girl.

The little girl exposed half of her face outside the door and looked directly at Nie Yuanfeng. Nie Yuanfeng took the opportunity to run over, took out a piece of snack in his bag and handed it to the little girl. "What's your name?"

The little girl took the snack, blinked her big eyes, and replied, "My name is Mutara." "Mutara, what a fairy-like name. Nie Yuanfeng agreed, "My name is Nie Yuanfeng, and I'm glad to meet and become friends with you." ”

Tianjizi looked at Nie Yuanfeng and Mu Tara and began to get acquainted,

and launched a "reconnaissance", and said to Long Jingtian beside him: "Learn a little from you Nie Yuanfeng, don't always rely on your own temperament, talk more about strategies." ”

Long Jingtian was naturally unconvinced, and said angrily: "In your eyes, I will never be able to compare to Nie Yuanfeng, really." ”

Nie Yuanfeng and Mutala became more and more acquainted, and they were chatting energetically. "Mutara, can I ask you a question?" Mutara said with a smile, "Of course, we're friends now.

"Why can't I see a few people in the whole village, and the streets are empty?" "Of course, it's the season for herb picking, and the adults in the village are going to the mountains to pick herbs. ”

"Is it for healing?" Mutala shook her head, "It's mainly for selling for money, and everyone in our village makes a living by picking herbs, so now only we children and the elderly are left at home." ”

Nie Yuanfeng realized that this village was not as strange as they thought, and the villagers were just busy collecting medicine.

Long Jingtian saw that Nie Yuanfeng and Mu Tara were chatting energetically, and he felt bored, so he looked around and observed the village.

Suddenly, a parked car came into Long Jingtian's line of sight. This motorcycle looks so familiar, it can't be any one of the villagers' homes.

Long Jingtian pointed to the car and said, "Tianjizi, you see that there are other people who have also arrived here, it can't be a fox demon." "Dayong, that's Dayong's motorcycle!" Tianjizi recognized the car at a glance.

"I said it looks so familiar! It turned out to be Dayong!" Long Jingtian immediately became energetic, and he also ran to Mutara's side and asked, "Have you seen the owner of that car?"

"Do you mean that tall and handsome guy?" "That's right, it's that handsome guy!" Long Jingtian was obviously excited.

Mutala pointed to the mountain ahead, "He left here to climb that mountain yesterday and hasn't come back yet." ”

"What is he going to do on that mountain, is there something exciting there?" asked Long Jingtian. Mutara shook his head, "That mountain is a forbidden mountain, and people in the village are absolutely not allowed to enter it. In the past few years, some guests did not listen to the advice and rushed in, but they all died in the mountains. ”

The more Mutala talked about the mountain as mysterious, the more curious Long Jingtian became. "Dude, let's go climb that mountain too!" Long Jingtian grabbed Nie Yuanfeng's hand and was about to leave.

"Don't go!" Muttara stopped them, "My grandfather said there was a wind tunnel in the mountain that could suck people in. ”

Long Jingtian put on a fearless look, "I, Long Jingtian, am not afraid, I am not afraid of the earth, and I will go all over the world with a sword." ”

Nie Yuanfeng couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at Long Jingtian's funny appearance, thinking that he was so scared when he crossed the chain bridge just now, he pretended to be a hero in front of the girl for a while.

Tianjizi heard that Dayong had gone to climb that mysterious mountain and had not returned for two days, so he wanted to lead his disciples to explore there and look for Dayong at the same time. Tianjizi said, "Mutara, let's leave the carriage at your house!"

Of course, Mutara would not refuse, but he was worried that his grandfather would not agree. "You come in quietly with me, put the carriage in the yard, and don't let my grandfather hear me. The crowd tiptoed into the courtyard with the wagon. Then strap your backpack on your back and prepare to turn away.
