"Your realm can't improve much in a short period of time, what I can help you improve is the awareness of battle. Water is invisible, and the water that flows down from the sky is even more invisible. If you can perceive them, then your consciousness can reach the level you want to achieve. ”

Lin Ji finished eating the last orange in his pocket, looked at the waterfall, and then thoughtfully.

"The waterfall has abused me thousands of times, and I treat the waterfall like my first love. ”

"It's good that you have this awareness. The old man smiled helplessly.

"If there were more rocks from the waterfall, my head wouldn't have been saved. ”

"Yo Yo Yo ...... The cultivator of the Zhiwei realm was stoned to death, which should be considered big news in the cultivation world. ”

Lin Ji's old face turned red and he quietly got up.

The water flow of the waterfall is always much cooler than the river water, so when Lin Ji walked back under the waterfall again, she couldn't help but shiver with her physique.

The soft water is everywhere, but the most intimidating thing for him is the small stones hidden in the water, although they are not very big, but they fall from a super high place and hit Lin Ji's body, which will really cut a huge hole, and blood gushes out, but it is washed away by the turbulent water, leaving only white wounds.

Lin Ji put on all kinds of strange poses and shapes in the water, dodging the stones that would appear all the time and could not be guarded against, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't completely avoid the ubiquitous stones.

So even though his recovery ability is super strong, the wounds on his back are still increasing.

"Do you know why you can't dodge those stones?"

"Why?" asked Lin Ji loudly under the waterfall as the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Because you're still not fast enough. ”

Day 10 under the waterfall.

Lin Ji's complexion was no longer as ruddy as it was at the beginning.

It has a unique white color that has been soaked in water for a long time.

But the wounds on the back are much, much less than at the beginning.

Mo Ran had a stone cut through, Lin Ji turned sideways slightly, with the least strength, lightly dodged the sharp attack like a stream of water, and then left only a long white mark on his back, and then it was washed away after a while under the waterfall.

"Is this fast enough?" asked Lin Ji as he raised the corners of his mouth and asked the old man who was leaning against the rock, his face facing the sun and napping.

"Not enough. The old man didn't even look at it, and said directly.

"So what's fast?"

"When the wound on your back is gone, it's fast enough.

The old man yawned vigorously, then picked up two yellowing leaves beside him and put them over his eyes, only to snoring in a moment.

Lin Ji looked at the lazy figure, gasped for breath angrily, and then stopped being distracted.

Not far away, a woman who thought she was as beautiful as a fairy walked out, she handed the peeled orange to the old man's hand, and after the old man took it like enjoyment, he glanced at the Lin Ji under the waterfall, and then stuffed it into his mouth triumphantly. I took a big bite of it.

Lin Ji looked at the woman who was obediently squatting next to the old man, his eyes were full of resentment, and he couldn't help but take a few more hits on his body.

The woman saw Lin Ji's trembling after being injured, and her eyes did not shy away from the look of worry.

"You, you, if you don't let you come, you have to follow, and so does that kid in the blue sky, you have to come by your temperament. Once you have something wrong, see how he explains it to the world. The old man smiled and pinched an orange again and said.

The woman chuckled softly: "Linglu is also tired of staying in Canghai City, and if you want to come out for a walk, it will be safer to come to the place where the old man is here." ”

"I'm afraid that the whole Canghai City knows that he will always return to Canghai City, and he will not lose it. ”

The woman raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and smiled shyly: "I just miss him." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows, and he didn't speak anymore.

Under the waterfall, the fifteenth day.

Lin Ji squatted where he had stood for fifteen days, not wanting to stand up again, but even so, his body was still shaking irregularly in place.

And beside him, the bulges of countless stones had almost buried her legs.

Even the water of the waterfall could not wash away the stones that had gathered together.

And Lin Ji's robe at this time has long been left with only a piece of placket hanging on his chest, and the other places have long been worn out, and even traces can not be found, but the wound on his back has disappeared without a trace for some time.

The old man raised his eyes to look at the young man who was squatting in the waterfall with his head bowed and silent, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

"You can see how happy he is smiling. The old man said to the woman who sat quietly beside him and looked at the person and woman under the waterfall.

He didn't laugh. ”

His heart was laughing. ”

"Shizi. Canghai City Urgent. The scout, who was hiding in the dark, saw that the prince who had been under the waterfall for half a month finally walked out of the waterfall, so he couldn't wait to send the urgent letter in his arms.

Lin Ji took the envelope tremblingly, Ling Lu had already prepared a towel to drape over his shoulder, and wiped her hair and face dry.

"Gu Tang's speed is faster than we imagined, and his actions are a lot more decisive, and he is not a famous general on the list. The old man seemed to have guessed the content of the letter in Lin Ji's hand, and said in a low voice.

"I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in cultivation, but also quite familiar with military affairs. The white letter paper suddenly burned in Lin Ji's hand, and then dissipated in the wind.

"Everyone knows the heart of a weasel. ”

"So where are we going next? Dugu Camp? There should be no problem holding there. Of course, Zero Lu doesn't understand the mystery of this.

"No, go back to Canghai City, after all, that's our home. ”

War is like a horse-drawn carriage moving at high speed, even if it crosses the finish line at the last moment, it will continue to run forward because of inertia.

There is never a war in the world that can be like a swift whip, and it will stop as soon as it is said, in fact, it is always tortuous, undulating, and then gradually eliminated with the passage of time and the diminishing of inertia.

And the starting point of war is like the start of a horse-drawn carriage, giving no one the slightest respite.

"Will they come so soon?" Chen Chong's lieutenant followed Chen Chong around the barracks and whispered.

"Do our own defense, as for when Gu Tang is willing to come, that's his business. Chen Chong straightened the armor of the soldiers passing by and said calmly.

The defense of Dugu Gorge was divided into three sections.

The first section comes from the cliff, on the Dugu Gorge of this high thousand, the Han specially opened up two cliff screens of about 100 zhang here, and of course there are not too many soldiers staying on the cliff of 100 zhang, and can only accommodate more than 600 people, and these 600 people are all archers, forming the first line of defense against Dugu Gorge.

The second section of defense came from the gorge.

This road, which can only accommodate seven or eight horses passing side by side, is called the gorge by the soldiers of the Dugu battalion. About 2,000 soldiers formed the guard of the Gap, each of them armed with a round shield, which could be attacked and defended.

The third section of defense came from the camp behind the gorge.

The 50,000 horses in the battalion consisted of archers, infantry, crossbowmen, and cavalry. Once the local defense line of the gorge is broken, then the defense line in this large camp will be the last barrier of Dugu Gorge, and strive to encircle all the enemies in Dugu Gorge.

At this moment, suddenly a thick smoke rose into the sky, and the only smoke tower on the cliff of Dugu Gorge suddenly rose with billowing smoke, and the smoke rose into the sky, as if it was about to swallow the sky.

At the same time, the earth-shattering siren suddenly sounded, and if the eagle in the sky roared vigorously, tearing through the tranquility and shattering the peace, it was smeared with a heavy layer of scarlet blood in the sky above this Dugu Gorge.

It's time to come after all.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Jian'an, the first civil war in the actual sense of the Han Empire broke out.
