Chapter Twenty-Three: The Horned Viper

Even if it is as big as a mountain or as small as a teacup, this master can lay out all kinds of formations here, and the most important thing is that this formation master's usual hobby is not to set up formations, but to collect some strange gadgets.

Zhen Yingjun told Lin Fan that among the items collected by this formation master, there was one thing that Lin Fan might be interested in, and that was the demon pill left behind by a refined Nine Palace Bird after his death.

The reason why I knew about this was that Wang Tang, the leader of the Fire Sect, met and got acquainted with this formation master by chance, and was a guest at his home, and was fortunate enough to visit the treasure house of this formation master, and then found this demon pill.

Lin Fan slowly calmed down from his excitement, originally his tongue was cut off, which did not affect his ability to communicate verbally, at most it affected his ability to eat, but that Pan Dacheng also cut off his vocal cords, which made him completely mute.

The reason why Lin Fan can still eat meat and drink wine now is that Lin Shicao broke his heart and basically picked up almost all the medicines in the Ethereal Gate Medicine Garden, and before the Hongchen trial went down the mountain, Lin Fan's tongue grew again.

"Where is that place?"

Lin Fan's trembling right hand wrote on the paper, although he had always acted like he didn't care, in fact, how could he not care, he had had enough of the days when he couldn't communicate with others normally.

Zhen Yingjun wiped his two lips full of grease with his sleeve, and said with a frown: "My master only talked about it when he was chatting with me, and the place is in a desert in the south of the Yan Country."

"Okay, let's prepare, you go buy two horses, and set off in a few days", Lin Fan thought for a while and continued to write on the paper.

"So anxious?"

As soon as Zhen Yingjun finished speaking, he saw Lin Fan stretching out his right hand towards him, and his thumb kept rubbing his index finger and middle finger back and forth, so he asked, "Brother Fan, what do you mean?"

"Fill less garlic and give me the rest of the gold"

Lin Fan remembered that Zhen Yingjun took the only seven pieces of gold from him, and used one and then there were six pieces of gold.

"I will pay you back three yuan, and the rest will buy horses and food."

Really handsome and reluctantly took out three pieces of gold and put them on the wooden table.

As soon as he threw the gold on the table into the bronze ring, Lin Fan saw the really handsome expression of reluctance, and immediately felt quite interesting, this is really handsome, let's just say that the heavy money to buy a broken house should be a master who doesn't care about money, but he only uses the copper money he earns to buy hard steamed buns, and he looks extremely stingy.

"Is there anyone in the store?" suddenly a voice came from the store.

The two hurriedly walked out of the bedroom to take a look, and found that the people who came were two catchers, who were carefully looking at the grocery store, and after seeing Lin Fan and Zhen Handsome, one of them frowned and said, "The smell of wine is so strong in broad daylight."

"You are Lin Fan", another catcher looked at Lin Fan.

"That's right, he's Lin Fan, what's the matter with the two of you coming here?"

The really handsome fox wondered, didn't the taxes have been paid, and the deposit has also been paid, what are you doing here?

"It's okay, let's tell you, Lin Fan, you are obediently staying in this shop now, you are not allowed to move around at will, we will come to inspect every morning, and you", Zhu Kuai pointed to Zhen Yingjun, and then said: "As a guarantor, you are not allowed to run around, and when the official letter from Zicheng County arrives, the surveillance of the two of you will be lifted, understand."

"Aki~~White~~"

Zhen Yingjun dragged back in a long voice.

After the two catchers left quickly, Zhen Yingjun pondered: "It seems that we have to leave early, otherwise you and I will be banned from the spirit pool, and we will not be able to leave as soon as the official letter arrives."

Zhen Yingjun's words were also affirmed by Lin Fan, and Lin Fan immediately decided to go out of the city immediately at dusk, while Zhen Yingjun went to prepare horses, water and food.

An hour later, Zhen Yingjun led the two horses to the door of the grocery store, and immediately carried four large bags of steamed buns, without the slightest drag, threw the steamed buns into the bronze ring weight, and smashed them heavily on the spear.

To Lin Fan's surprise, the spear was still lying quietly, and it seemed that he had fallen into a deep sleep again, and before leaving, Zhen Yingjun rode on his horse and was reluctant to glance at the grocery store, and sighed: "What a good storefront, just give up, alas."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes when he heard this, this grocery store dare to applaud? I'm afraid it's too troublesome to give it to others, and the cost of repairing this shop can be rebuilt.

There was also an hour's road from the grocery store to the city gate, which was opened at dawn and closed at dark, but fortunately the city gate was guarded by the army, not the city officials of the government, so the two of them could get out of the city smoothly.

The desert that Zhen Yingjun said was more than 1,500 miles away from Hengyu City, and after the two of them left the city, they rode unhurriedly on the official road and headed towards the desert.

Two days later, when Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun rode past a post station on the official road, several soldiers at the gate of the post station looked at Lin Fan on the horse, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they all rushed into the post station.

Seeing this scene, Lin Fan was confused, what happened to these soldiers, how could he see him like this.

"I'll go, big brother, you can do it, you scared a few soldiers out of the air without saying a word, and the king's gas leaked."

Zhen Yingjun slapped Lin Fan's ass.

Along the way, Lin Fan found that this really handsome experience was actually similar to him, but when he was a few months old, he was abandoned by his parents in the woods, fortunately Wang Tang, who was walking in the sky and hearing beyond ordinary people, heard the cry, and then hugged the little Zhen Yingjun who was hungry and crying in the woods back to the Fire Sect, the same age, the same realm, and both belong to no father and no mother, and the brotherhood between the two is one step closer.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes, he didn't know what was going on, but he was so handsome that he was very comfortable.

Along the way, Lin Fan learned one more thing from the mouth of the really handsome, that is, although the spirit pool was banned, it was just to make the people of the Hongchen trial unable to use spiritual power, otherwise he would go to the trial with a body of cultivation, what else is it called the Hongchen trial, in addition to encountering the danger of life, if the realm is about to break through, the ban will also be temporarily lifted.

As soon as the two of them were about to set off again, hundreds of sword-wielding soldiers rushed out of the post station, and one of the soldiers led by him took a closer look at Lin Fan on the horse, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "That's right, it's him, he is killing hundreds of our Paoze brothers at the border and killing him."

Looking at the appearance of this leading soldier and the words he said, Lin Fan also remembered, these people were probably the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who were besieging Yan Dali at that time, and they had already recognized him now.

The secret sound was not good, and the whip in Lin Fan's right hand hit the horse's back hard, startling the horse to keep neighing, and the four hooves of the swish moved in unison, and ran towards the official road with a smoke.

"Oops, big brother, wait for me"

Zhen Yingjun saw the battle of the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, and also rode his horse to follow closely behind Lin Fan.

"What are you doing in a daze, chasing on horseback, cutting off that kid's head to avenge the dead brothers", the leading soldier gritted his teeth and roared, and hundreds of Yanguo soldiers quickly untied the horse next to the door of the post station, and chased them in the direction of Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun's escape.

In a moment, hundreds of soldiers with spears in the post station rushed out of the gate of the post station on horseback, and after meeting with the swords on horseback, they all rode after Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun.

Looking at the more and more Yanguo cavalry behind them, Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun were so frightened that their scalps were numb, and the horses they were riding seemed to sense the danger and galloped even harder.

The border war between Da Dian and Yan has ended, and there was a total of one, that is, the one where Yan Dali was ambushed, and afterwards both countries retreated, and the soldiers of Yan who participated in the ambush at that time were returning to the station, and some of them happened to rest in this post station, and they didn't expect that this killing god actually ran to Yan Country by himself.

"Take down the one-armed young man's head and reward a thousand taels, and the accomplice with the little white face next to him will take it together, and the captain will reward him with fifty taels of silver."

The leader in the chase was a captain of the Yanguo army, and after roaring, he took out a bow and crossbow from his horse, mounted a sharp arrow and aimed at Lin Fan.

Hearing the words of this captain, Zhen Yingjun was angry while urging the horse, why did his reward for silver only be fifty taels, but Lin Fan was one thousand taels, and it was gold, and why did he become an accomplice inexplicably.

The reward for Lin Fan's head was a thousand taels of gold issued by a commander of the Yan Kingdom, and hundreds of soldiers under his command died at the hands of a one-armed enemy, and the commander couldn't swallow this breath, so he issued a reward for Lin Fan.

And the really handsome bounty of fifty taels of silver, which was paid by the captain out of his own pocket, is the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, the cavalry heard that the two people who were running away on horseback in front of them were worth so much money, all of them were like crazy, and the whip in their hands whipped the horse body wildly, and it shortened the distance between them and Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun in a few breaths.

A sharp arrow grazed the side of Lin Fan's left cheek, which frightened him into a chill, and there was a faint pain on his face, Lin Fan's left cheek was cut by this sharp arrow A two-inch-long wound, and blood was bubbling out.

"Big brother, it's not a way to escape like this, they are all well-trained military horses, and they were caught up not long after going on like this"

Zhen Yingjun shouted with a pale face, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold winter wind, or because he couldn't stand the continuous horseback running, which caused Zhen Yingjun's face to turn pale.

Lin Fan also felt that what Zhen Yingjun said was reasonable, after all, they took the lead and rode their horses for a while in advance, but the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom behind them were all riding military horses, and the difference between them and the horses they were riding was not a little bit, so they immediately pulled the reins violently and ran towards the woods, and Zhen Yingjun also followed.

Whoosh

The military horses ridden by the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom all had a bow and crossbow on their backs, and they were shooting towards Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun who were fleeing towards the woods.

"The two cultivators of the Transformation Stage were actually hunted down and killed by mortals, and they couldn't be laughed at and generous when they spread it," Zhen Yingjun scolded.

The combination of the rugged mountain road and the overgrown weeds and bushes made it impossible to ride a horse in the woods, so the two simply jumped off their horses and ran towards the depths of the woods, panting.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Yan Kingdom also abandoned their horses, and they all held spears and scimitars, and also chased in the direction of the two of them.

Listening to the shouts behind him getting closer and closer, Lin Fan turned his head to look, and the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom behind him had to say that they were really well-trained and physically qualified, and after a while, these soldiers were less than two feet away from Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun.

"My mother~"

A soldier with a spear stabbed Zhen Yingjun, only an inch away from stabbing Zhen Yingjun's left cheek, so frightened that his legs rushed again, and he actually ran in front of Lin Fan.

"Throw the gun"

The lieutenant commanded the spear-wielding soldiers.

Hearing the sound of breaking the air behind him, Lin Fan flashed behind a half-zhang thick tree, and used this thick trunk to block the galloping spear.

There was a thumping sound, and the trunk of the tree became like a hedgehog in an instant, and the spear was still trembling on the trunk, making a clanging sound, which showed how strong the strength of this group of soldiers was.

"This one has no conscience, he runs faster than a rabbit"

Looking at the really handsome back that was about to disappear without a trace, Lin Fan scolded secretly.

However, now was not the time for Lin Fan to complain, the captain had already stepped to Lin Fan's right side, and the scimitar in his hand was cut down.

If this knife was slashed, it was estimated that Lin Fan's head would say goodbye to his body, but he felt that his scalp was numb for a while, Lin Fan hurriedly squatted down to avoid this knife, and rushed forward again with a rolling belt.

I don't know how far he ran, Lin Fan only felt that his legs no longer listened to him, and the group of Yanguo soldiers were still quite vigorous and relentless, but finally caught up with Zhen Handsome.

At this time, Zhen Yingjun was standing next to a small tree, holding on to the trunk and panting, when Lin Fan rushed towards him, Zhen Yingjun shouted in horror: "Stop, stop, don't come, don't come."

The reason why Zhen Yingjun stopped was not because he couldn't run, but because he was on the edge of a cliff, and before he could come up with a good way to avoid the pursuit, he saw Lin Fan running with a big mouth and panting, so he hurriedly issued a warning.

However, it was too late, as soon as Zhen Yingjun's words fell, Lin Fan slammed into Zhen Yingjun, and the two instantly nodded from the edge of the cliff.

The captain and the soldiers looked down on the edge of the cliff now, and saw that the two people who had offered the bounty were like two small black dots, disappearing into the woods below the cliff.

"Captain, do you want to keep chasing?", a knife-wielding soldier asked.

"Chase a fart, it seems that it is estimated to be more than a hundred zhang deep, they will definitely not survive, if you want to go down to find the corpse, you must bypass the cliff, you look at this cliff for yourself, when we go down, it will be dark, the bodies of those two people have already been devoured by the tiger and wolf, withdraw", the captain glanced at the woods under the cliff, and shouted through gritted teeth.

......

Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun did not fall to the bottom of the cliff, the two black spots that the captain saw were just two stones, and the two of them were on an inclined plane ten zhang away from the edge of the cliff at this time.

Zhen Yingjun was clutching a raised stone with both hands, and on the belt of his back, there was another hand holding it tightly, it was Lin Fan.

"Big brother, you let go first, I'll climb up and save you"

Seeing the clicking sound of the raised small stone, and the strangulation sensation coming from his waist, Zhen Yingjun panicked.

"I believe you have a ghost"

Lin Fan said secretly, his right hand grabbed the cloth belt of Zhen Yingjun and held on, this fall was undoubtedly doomed, he didn't want to become the first Purple Star to be killed by the Transformation Stage cultivator.

"Really, really, big brother, let go first, I swear by the lives of everyone in the Zhenglei Sect, I will save you, you believe me~"

Seeing that the small stone was about to break, Zhen Yingjun howled.

"Flicker, you continue to flicker, what is the matter with you as a disciple of the Fire Sect swearing to close the Zhenglei Sect"

Lin Fan didn't dare to let go of his hand, and secretly said that this really handsome man actually wanted him to let go, how could he let go, and at the same time he was very anxious, didn't he say that when his life was in danger, the ban on the spirit pool would be temporarily lifted, why didn't there be the slightest movement now.

With a click, the small stone that Zhen Yingjun was holding with both hands completely broke, and the two fell off the cliff again in an instant.

Bang, bang, bang, under the dense shade of the trees, there was a pile of fallen leaves several feet high, and both of them fell on this pile of fallen leaves, one after the other.

"I feel like I hurt everywhere?"

After a few moments, the handsome man stood up from the pile of fallen leaves with bared teeth and shook his head, which was still a little dizzy.

A hand suddenly burst out of the pile of fallen leaves, startling the cold and handsome Zhenhandsome, and quickly came back to his senses, pulling the leaves around the hand.

Zhen Yingjun pulled it for a while before pulling out Lin Fan who was buried in the pile of fallen leaves.

"I'll go, my life is big, I said why hasn't the spirit pool been unsealed, dare to fall and not die"

Zhen Yingjun patted his chest and said with palpitations.

Lin Fan was also smashed, and it took a while for his brain to return to normal, and after carefully looking around, he beckoned to Zhen Yingjun, identified a direction and set off again.

"Big brother, where are we going?"

Zhen Yingjun followed behind Lin Fan, and after walking around in the woods for more than half an hour, he couldn't help but ask.

Lin Fan placed the index finger of his right hand between the two lips, signaling Zhen Yingjun not to speak, and pointed in the direction of the guide side, so that Zhen Yingjun could listen carefully.

Zhen Yingjun's right palm was on the outline of his right ear and listened carefully, and he actually heard the neighing of the horses, and couldn't help but give Lin Fan a thumbs up and said: "Big brother is big brother, we have walked more than ten miles without saying anything, you can actually hear the sound of horses coming along the way, amazing."

Lin Fan had that natural expression, in fact, his heart was very empty, he just wanted to get out of the forest, and he didn't know the way, so he couldn't show that he didn't know anything in front of this little brother, so he silently identified a direction, who knew that when he walked here, he heard the sound of horses.

The two glanced at each other, and both ran towards the sound of horses with happy faces.

A black horse and a brown horse were tied to a tree trunk on the path, Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun looked around, but did not find the owner of the horse, and a wicked smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.

The neighing sound of horses and the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground sounded at the same time, Lin Fan rode a black horse, and Zhen Yingjun rode a brown horse, running in the direction of the desert in Zhen Yingjun's memory.

"Mahler, where did the two rabbit cubs come from, they are tired and crooked"

"Stop for labor, I'm X"

In the woods on the other side of the avenue, two big men ran out with their pants up, looking at the two horse thieves who left and cursing non-stop, just to relieve themselves nearby, who would have thought that in this inaccessible place, two horse thieves actually appeared coldly, really depressed, looking at the back of the two horse thieves disappearing, the two big men cursed again and again, swearing that if they had the opportunity to meet these two people, they would be severely beaten.

"Haha, it's a good thing that pies fall from the sky~"

Really handsome rode on the horse and hummed a song, completely forgetting about the "stolen" horse.

Relying on the "stolen" horse and the grain stored in Lin Fan's bronze ring, they stopped and stopped along the way for nearly a month before the two rushed to the edge of the desert.

Originally, it could have arrived in about fifteen days, but he couldn't tell the wrong direction from the south, south, west, and northwest, so it took him a month to get to this desert.

"Look, isn't this the time to arrive?"

Really handsome and glanced at Lin Fan with a weak heart, it was good to get to this desert, otherwise Lin Fan would probably go away.

Just as Lin Fan was about to drive the black horse into the desert, the black horse refused to take a step forward no matter how Lin Fan whipped the horsewhip, and finally kicked up with his front legs, threw Lin Fan to the ground, turned around and ran away.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the departing black horse Lin Fan was very puzzled, not only the dark horse, but even the really handsome brown horse ran away when he just got off the horse and was about to help Lin Fan up, leaving only a floating fog for the two of them.

"Big brother, what should I do now?"

Zhen Yingjun asked with a sad face.

Lin Fan gritted his teeth and looked at the food and water in the bronze ring, which could still last for nearly a month, so he spread his feet and walked directly into the desert, intending to use his foot strength to walk into the residence of the formation master.

"Wait for me"

Seeing Lin Fan walk into the desert, Zhen Yingjun stomped his feet and followed ruthlessly.

The desert of this Yan country is really strange, it is obviously a biting cold winter, but the desert is extremely hot, the two of them are still sweating bare-chested, and when they walked for nearly thirty miles, an even more strange scene appeared.

The two looked at each other, saw that the sky was getting dark, and decided to rest on the edge of the maroon sand for a night, and set off again tomorrow.

"How can this fire keep coming out of the sand? Yan country, Yan country, no wonder it's called Yan country"

At night, Lin Fan squatted on the ground, looking at the blue flames more than three inches high from time to time and thought.

"Big brother, do you have a tent in that ring? Otherwise, how can you sleep?"

Zhen Yingjun let out a white mouth, stood next to him and complained.

Lin Fan just wanted to take out two jars of wine to drink to ward off the cold, but he felt that his right foot was naked as if it had been burned by fire, and it hurt badly, and when he turned his head to look, it was a small snake with two feet, lying next to his right ankle, Lin Fan just wanted to step on this little snake, but he foamed at the mouth and fell on the sand.

"I'll go, what's the matter, don't you just ask if you have a tent, as for it?"

Zhen Yingjun saw Lin Fan lying directly on the ground, and thought that he was reluctant to take it out, but after a closer look, he found that his sworn brother Lin Fan was foaming at the mouth and convulsing, and a ball of blue fire burst out from Lin Fan's side, and by the light of the fire, there was a small snake at Lin Fan's feet spitting snake letters, staring at Zhen Yingjun with bad intentions.

"Desert Horned Viper," Zhen Yingjun exclaimed.
