In the bamboo forest outside the city outside Huashan

"Now I don't have to worry about dinner, God really helps me, I can't bear so many fish by this creek haha"

After Ji Yan and Jiang Ling had a trick, they could have gone back to the city to sleep comfortably in the big bed and take a hot bath, but Jiang Ling was physically exhausted in order to deal with Ji Yan, so he could only eat something and hurry slowly

At this time, Ji Yan was carrying a bamboo pole with 4 big fish on his shoulder, looking at this fat fish, his saliva flowed, and he smiled heartlessly

"Braised without seasoning!Boiled?light taste!That can only be baked~"

Ji Yan was thinking about how to cook this delicious dinner, but Jiang Ling, who was resting and meditating on the other side, was not very comfortable

Far away, Jiang Ling heard Ji Yan's heartless laughter, thinking of what happened just now, the lewd thief broke his clothes, and gave him his own stinky cloth clothes, Jiang Ling's anger was not in one place

However, Jiang Ling is also a little worried about his situation now, now he is afraid that he can't even resist the knife, let alone fight against the lewd thief, he can only carry his tired body and meditate against a big stone to recover his strength

"Hmm............ Well...... It's so fragrant~~ Uh-huh......"

Jiang Ling, who was meditating, actually fell asleep, and at this time, Jiang Ling smelled the fragrance and muttered half-asleep

"Wake up, sleep for a long time, you're welcome, eat~ I haven't been unreasonable enough to bully girls"

Ji Yantou looked at Jiang Ling's sleeping face on the edge of the fire, a little stupid, and quickly twisted his head to the side

"Hmm...... I ...... Am I asleep?"

Jiang Ling also slowly came to his senses, and suddenly Jiang Ling noticed something, and his face suddenly turned red

"This whore, didn't take advantage of my meditation to do something unconscionable, did you?" Jiang Ling said, shrinking his body and pulling the cloth clothes draped over his body

Obviously, the coat that Ji Yan gave Jiang Ling was not enough to cover Jiang Ling's tender white skin, but Ji Yan didn't dare to look too much, he would have a nosebleed

However, Jiang Ling's physical strength has basically recovered, which also shows the strength of Jiang Ling's physique

"Who am I? Will I do this? I am a student of the Spring and Autumn Period, and I am a monk!"

Ji Yan raised his head proudly, and the afterglow was still skimming towards Jiang Ling's big white legs

"Inhuman"

Jiang Ling said viciously, giving Ji Yan a blank look, but her attention was quickly attracted by the grilled fish on the fire

Ji Yan noticed this, so he picked up a fish

"It is said that when the water is clear, there is no fish, but the fish in the forest and the stream, but not so, two catties each, disemboweling, digging internal organs, drawing fishing lines, removing gills and scales, and roasting slowly...... This product should only be in the sky, how many times can I smell it in the world~"

Ji Yan said and took a bite, the skin was burnt and fragrant, and the fish meat was tender, but there was not much left of a few bites of fish, and Ji Yan's mouth was full of oil

I don't believe you don't eat it!

"Goo~~Goo~~~"

The discordant voice sounded, Ji Yan pretended not to hear it, and Jiang Ling quickly hid his pretty face flushed

"It's not early, feel free to eat and go back to the city"

Ji Yan said as he looked at the sun that was about to set in the west, and handed over a grilled fish

"Hmmm......"

Jiang Ling definitely didn't want to eat it, but her uncompetitive stomach didn't allow it

Compared with Ji Yan, Jiang Ling Siwen is much more, cocking his fingers, biting the fish meat in small bites, chewing slowly, and tasting slowly

"This ...... Why is this a fish, why is it so delicious?" Jiang Ling's mind floated through countless question marks

Before Jiang Ling went down the mountain, although the food he ate in the sect was coarse tea and light rice, and there were meat dishes, it was just not so greasy

"That...... Why are you ......?"

Jiang Ling stopped the fish in his hand and asked

"You know my name, call me Ji Yan"

Ji Yan interrupted Jiang Ling, and then started the second grilled fish

"Ji ...... Brother Ji Yan, your kung fu is so profound, you must have come here this time...... There must be a reason, right?"

Jiang Ling planned to extract some information from Ji Yankou

"It's nothing, it's just to do things for the master, the master is old, so he can only rely on me"

Ji Yan wiped the oil stains on the side of his mouth with his arm

"Oh~ Brother Najiyan is here...... Is it for the sake of Huashan's sword battle?"

Jiang Lingwen asked, and consciously grabbed the last jump of grilled fish

"That's right, I came here for the master, but the master didn't tell me much about this sword, do you know something?"

Ji 1510 said it

"Huashan on the sword is held every four years, and one person is produced in one session, which is called the sword, and it is not necessarily all swords, there are many large and small sects involved, and there are all kinds of weapons, just to win the last title"

Jiang Ling told Ji Yan

"It is said that those who can enter the top 10 will be able to obtain a place in the Western training as long as they are under the age of 20, and if they are selected, they can also enter the legendary sect."

Supplement:

Ji Yan was born as a native of China and belonged to the Tianheng Empire, and there were only four empires in the entire China, namely: Tianheng, Zhihai, Qingyun, and Landun

There are only two countries in the West, but the area on the map is close to the whole of China, namely: Troy and Flandy

Others, on the other hand, are covered by the sea, and the entire continent is less than two-thirds the size of the ocean

The south, that is, the place where Ji Yan lives, is the Tianheng Empire

The Tianheng Empire is in the southernmost part of the Chinese mainland, ranking last in terms of territory among the four empires, with a small population and a slow economic development

But no one dares to underestimate the Tianheng Empire, because the Tianheng Empire is a country of martial arts, and there are thousands of sects, and the Tianheng Empire reveres martial arts and pays attention to martial arts

There has always been a custom of holding martial arts here, as long as you are strong in martial arts, and there is no sect, you can enter the royal family as an official

The Zhihai Empire, on the other hand, is located in the east, close to the sea, and this country has a developed economy, with many maritime trade and seafood products traded with all over the world, including Western countries

A typical developing country, its national territory ranks second in size, and in any way, Zhihai is the richest land in China

The people of Zhihai do not know martial arts, but legend has it that there is an organization in Zhihai and the existence of the people of the sea

As the name suggests, the people of the sea are said to be able to swim and breathe quickly underwater, borrowing the power of the sea to set off thousands of stormy waves

But it's just a legend, Ji Yan hasn't even heard much about this sea man even from his master

Then there is the Qingyun Empire, which has the largest territory, this empire is even more mysterious, their country is located in the northwest, where there are steep cliffs, and bottomless large cracks, the Qingyun Empire has very little contact with the outside world, and no outsiders are allowed to approach casually

Regarding Qingyun, the master just said to Ji Yan that this country is very mysterious and powerful, and his strength is something that the other three kingdoms can't fight, and even the three kingdoms together may not be able to fight

30 years ago, the ambitious Zhihai mobilized 200,000 troops and traveled all the way west to the north, wanting to attack this Qingyun Empire where birds don't

It is said that in that battle, except for one messenger, the whole army was annihilated, and the messenger said that the place was cloudy, white mist, I don't know whether I was on the ground or on the top of the mountain, I stepped on the air and fell into the abyss, 2 zhang away, I couldn't see anything clearly, it was all white mist

I don't know where the enemy is, but the 200,000-strong army is constantly decreasing, and there are no bones, and in just one week, the whole army was wiped out

Officially, because of this failed war, China never launched a major war after that, and the other three countries also carried out trade and economic exchanges with each other, and developed steadily, and China also returned to peace

After all, this is just an exaggeration, 200,000 people died in battle, but there are no bones, but this also casts a veil of mystery over Qingyun

Compared to it, the Landun Empire is much better, the Landun Empire has a wide territory, all grasslands and plains, animal husbandry is extremely developed, and the Landun people are also very warm and hospitable, and the Landun Empire has never participated in wars and rarely interferes in world affairs

If you settle in the future, the first choice will definitely be the Landun Empire

"Maybe, I don't care"

Ji Yan heard Jiang Ling say that there was a place to go to the West, and he was decisively bored

"Don't you want to go to the West, where there is the power to subvert our world."

Jiang Ling looked at Ji Yan suspiciously, the West is a place that everyone yearns for, and there are people who don't want to go

"Magic?"

Ji Yan sighed lightly, stood up and stepped on the fire, cleaned up and said to Jiang Ling

"It's getting dark, it's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go"

"Yes, too," Jiang Ling patted his ass and followed behind Ji Yan

The sky is a little dark, and the bamboo forest at this time no longer has the beauty of the day, but has the breath of the Liao people, and the bamboo branches are swaying, feeling full of crisis

"Brother Ji Yan...... Want...... Why don't you hurry up?"

Jiang Ling pulled the corners of Ji Yan's clothes behind Ji Yan's back

Jiang Ling noticed the scene of the Liao people around him, and the cold wind that blew from time to time penetrated Jiang Ling's torn clothes, although the martial arts reached this point, Jiang Ling was already able to resist the general cold, but his heart was always pinched, hairy

"Shh

Ji Yan turned around and whispered to Jiang Ling

"Huh......? Who is targeted"

Jiang Ling was also puzzled

Ji Yan and Jiang Ling stopped at a slope

"Uninvited guest, by the way, how are you recovering?"

Looking at Ji Yan's serious face, Jiang Ling also panicked

"About eighty percent"

"Follow me as fast as you can, let's get out!"

Ji Yan frowned, observing the subtle changes around him

"Aren't you very good? Why are you running away? Are there a lot of people?"

Jiang Ling was also quite puzzled, Ji Yan is like this, anyone can fight 10

"No, it's just one, there's still a chance to run now"

"Huh??......"

Jiang Ling didn't react

"Let's go!"

Ji Yan grabbed Jiang Ling's little hand and ran quickly, leaving an afterimage under his feet

Jiang Ling exclaimed, but he only saw the surrounding bamboo forests floating quickly on both sides, fluttering lightly under his feet, this speed was several times faster than me

Along the way, Jiang Ling enjoyed it a lot, and he didn't have much effort, he was dragged by Ji Yan, but as the time was delayed, Jiang Ling found a problem

At Ji Yan's speed, it should have been rushed out of the bamboo forest a long time ago?

In the depths of the bamboo forest, is it a ghost hitting the wall? No, I am also observing the surroundings, and there is no repetition of the picture

Jiang Ling was about to tell Ji Yan his thoughts, but after thinking about it, he had already noticed it, and presumably Ji Yan had already noticed it

At this time, Ji Yan stopped and let go of Jiang Ling's hand

Jiang Ling didn't ask much, his hand flipped over, and he pulled out his green sword, and the two of them were back to back, vigilantly looking around

"Who is here, and why are you bothering us?"

Ji Yan said into the distance

Silence, silence, only the "rustling" of the wind in the bamboo forest can be heard

But in the next second, the swaying bamboo forest stopped shaking, and the falling bamboo leaves also stopped in mid-air, like time frozen

This is...... Jiang Ling saw the scenery around him, and became nervous, and the green sword in his hand tightened a little

"Yes, you can detect my illusions"

A voice drifted into the two of them, soft and magnetic, a man

"What are you doing in hiding?"

Ji Yan clenched his fists

At this time, a phantom appeared not far away, slowly materializing, and a black figure appeared in front of the two

It was a man of the same age as Ji Yan, dressed strangely, with a long black robe covering his body and embroidered with strange patterns

With a clear eyebrow, fair complexion, a little white face, and long blond hair draped over his shoulders, this person can be regarded as handsome

"Why are people from the West here, and why are we bothered?"

Ji Yan asked the man in front of him coldly, and Jiang Ling hid behind Ji Yan and watched all this

"It's nothing, it's just that I finally saw someone and wanted to ask some questions"

The man spoke a non-standard Chinese language

"But if you have any doubts, just ask me, and tell you what I know."

Ji Yan didn't make a move, but chose to continue to observe, and Jiang Ling shrank back to the right

"I came thousands of miles just to find the place where Huashan discussed the sword and took away the sword saint"

The man shrugged his shoulders, the so-called sword master, is the first place in the sword competition, the title that can be obtained

"There are still two days to go before the sword is launched, and the location is located at the top of Huashan Mountain, if nothing happens, we will meet later"

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he pulled up Jiang Ling behind him and left

"Did I say you could go?"

As soon as the man's hand was raised, two rays of light and shadow flew in, Ji Yan was startled, and his left hand hooked

Quickly hugged Jiang Ling into his arms

Jiang Linggang wanted to be angry, but saw that where he was standing, two ice picks that were steaming cold had been inserted into the bamboo, and the entire bamboo and a small area of the ground had been frozen, bubbling with cold,

I didn't even perceive the danger...... If this is hit, I'm afraid my bones will freeze to death

"Yo he~ dodged, good speed"

Little White Face raised his tone

Ji Yan pushed Jiang Ling behind him

"Your opponent is me"

Ji Yan said, stepping on his left foot, the breeze blew, and his eyes stared at the little white face

Jiang Ling has seen this action, is this about to start?

"Lend Me Something"

Ji Yan snatched the green sword from Jiang Ling's hand with his backhand, held the sword in his right hand, and made a few handprints with his left hand, rubbing it on the blade, and the slender green sword suddenly emitted a cyan light

"Tianheng martial arts? hahaha is good, let me see it!"

The little white face said, closing his eyes and muttering something in his mouth

In an instant, a blue 5-pointed star magic array with a radius of 3 feet appeared under the feet of the little white face, spinning and emitting a faint light

With a wave of his hands, dozens of ice picks appeared behind him, and the sharp ice picks were awe-inspiring, pointing directly at Ji Yan
