Chapter 12: Crisis
In the evening, in a noisy inn in town, a middle-aged man with a skewed beard and a warm woman with a white veil around her lower face were sitting at a table in the guest room chatting, surrounded by a layer of water-based sound barriers.
"It's my fault, I was in a hurry, but I ignored one point, the green shirt man's sword was not stained with wolf blood, and he has not been publicly executed now, which means that there should be blood on the sword, but it is his own blood. "I said Langqing, can you do things steadily, alas. "I'm sorry to listen to the snow, but you have to take risks with me. "It's not much to us, the main thing is that we're just leaving, I'm afraid of any danger to the children. "Someone from the state has already come, it is the prefect, and Dali Temple wants to personally investigate this case." The evidence and the green-shirted guest were detained in the county office, where there were masters of the Transformation Period, and a demon-loving array was also arranged, and invisibility and teleportation could not be entered. "There's a way, you help me turn into a wolf demon, and then I fight that master to attack the demon cult, and you can use this to infiltrate. "No, it's too dangerous. If they think you're a demon, they'll kill you. "It was a mistake I made, and I had to take the risk. "What about the moves? Do you know the moves of the demon clan?" "I won't, and neither will they." At this time, Lan Tingxue took out a crystal clear bag, this is the Spirit Weapon Qiankun Bag, although it has no space ability and can store limited things, but it has the ability to isolate its contents from detection, but it can only be used once, and then it will become an ordinary cloth bag. "Pour the wolf blood into it, is the degree of coagulation of the wolf blood correct?" "Don't worry, it won't be wrong this time, I used the baking method to make the wolf blood equivalent to the wolf blood coagulated for eight days." With the strength of the green shirt, it can be explained that his own blood was stained on the sword in the melee. "Last question, were they really eaten by wolves?" "Of course it's true." ”
Behind the mountain, Xiao Yu and the surroundings of the flowers began to become dim, the thick trees, the messy wild grass, some of them died, some of them grew tenaciously, and there were bushes everywhere, difficult roads, from time to time unknown strange birds made strange calls, and there seemed to be wolves screaming in the distance. Although Xiao Yu was so frightened that he burst into tears, he couldn't help himself from crying, and Duoduo snuggled up to Xiao Yu, "Brother, I'm so cold!" "I'll make a fire." With that, Xiao Yu picked up two branches, found some grass down, and began to drill wood to make fire. The swordsmanship all depends on the strength of the wrist and the qi in the chest, Xiao Yu practiced the sword very hard, and he practiced every basic sword move five hundred times, so the strength of the wrist has been enhanced, and it is naturally not difficult to drill wood for fire. A fire was lit, and the two calmed down a little. The flames flickered, and the shadows of the two flickered and swayed in the thick trees around them.
"Coo-goo" Xiao Yu's stomach protested, "Brother, are you hungry?" Xiao Yu blushed and said, "Well, a little." "The blue berries of that dwarf bush can be eaten, and the leaves of that grass can be eaten after roasting, and the green seeds of that tree can be eaten, but they are too tall for us to reach ......" "Really? Thanks to you, Duoduo." Xiao Yu excitedly ran towards the bushes.
Xiao Yu "returned with a full load", and the two of them gathered around the bonfire, roasting the leaves of the purple orchid and eating, "Well, this leaf is quite delicious." Duoduo, can you have some understanding of all plants?" Duoduo shook her head, "No, I can only gradually become familiar with some familiar and often seen plants, and I still don't know about unfamiliar plants." Xiao Yu put down the baked leaves and berries in his hand and wrapped them in leaves. "Duoduo, then you eat first, we have to leave some reserve food tomorrow to find our way home." "No, my parents will come to us tomorrow." "There are mountains here, can they find us?" "Brother, do you feel like our parents are ordinary people?" Xiao Yu thought seriously for a moment, "No, they seem to be heroes." "Yes, it's not easy for the hero to find us, eat, brother. As he spoke, he opened the leaf wrap and fed it to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu said solemnly: "No, Duoduo, I have a sense of foreboding, if they can really find us easily, why haven't they found it yet? It's night, don't they come to us yet?" Duoduo put his finger on his chin and said, "Hmm...... It could be that they went out and didn't come back in the evening. "They rarely don't come back at night, so it's better to be cautious. "Ah~" Duoduo's brows furrowed, as if she was frightened. "Don't be so nervous, I'm just talking casually, but I still can't be careless. "Hmm!" Duoduo nodded sensibly, wrapping up the roasted leaves and berries as well. Xiao Yu spread it on the ground with dry leaves, and said, "Duoduo, you sleep, I'll keep vigil." "No, brother, let's take turns keeping vigil. Xiao Yu smiled softly: "Okay, then you can sleep first." "You'll have to wake me up then." "Well, don't worry. "Brother...... Brother ......" muttered, and Duoduo gradually fell asleep.
The next day, the first rays of sunlight shone into the woods. "Ha-" Duoduo opened his eyes lazily, and found that Xiao Yu was leaning against a big tree and closing his eyes, Duoduo asked embarrassedly: "Brother, why are you ...... Don't you call me?" Xiao Yu smiled and opened his eyes, "It's okay, I saw that you slept too soundly, so I couldn't bear to call you." Towards dawn, I closed my eyes and cultivated the method of nurturing true qi, and I was not sleepy at all. As he spoke, he stood up and looked in the direction of the sunrise, "That's the east, and this mountain range is east-west, so should we go north and south, south or north? Duo Duo, where do you think we should go?" Duo Duo frowned and struggled, "Brother, you decide, I'll listen to you." Xiao Yu hesitated: "Nan...... North...... South...... North...... "It's easy to descend the mountain, let's use the practice to move, it's faster." "No, it's not difficult for Mo Dao to go down the mountain, the movement of the cultivation method is too physically demanding, if you find that the direction is wrong after the physical strength is exhausted, then it will be over." Don't worry, let's be steady. ”
At the end of the day, Mu Langqing put on a wolf's skin and said, "The time has come, help me transform into a shape." Lan Tingxue held a blue five-foot staff, the body of the staff was round, the tail of the staff was spherical, there was a light blue crystalline crescent at the head of the staff, and a magical light blue luminous body that was a six-pointed star was suspended in the middle, no matter from which angle it looked, "The spirit of water, formless and phaseless, ten thousand forms and ten thousand phases." She recited the mantra, the staff emitted a dazzling pale blue light, and the water splashed on Mu Langqing's body, after the water subsided, Mu Langqing turned into a tall and thin gray-robed man with narrow eyes and a slender figure, and the two left the inn in a hurry.
Wennan County magistrate said, a gray-robed man walked in front of the county magistrate and wanted to enter, but was stopped by the officials on both sides: "What are you doing!" The gray-robed man said coldly: "What are you doing? After speaking, a claw grabbed the officer, tearing a piece of flesh on his chest, the officer fainted to the ground in pain, and knocked another officer unconscious with a punch, and suddenly there was a big chaos in the county office, the gray-robed man sneered and walked towards the county office, and when he walked to the official case, ten people in short brocade clothes and swords with swords and swords walked out and killed the gray-robed man together, the gray-robed man split his narrow mouth and laughed wildly, took out his mace and danced, the speed completely crushed the ten people, and the ten people were killed in seconds. "Wolf demon! Hugh is rampant!" At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a black robe, black shoes and white socks on his feet, and a gray beard came with a sword, and then he jumped off the sword, and the sword pierced the heart of the gray-robed man, and the floating dust in his hand quickly became larger, and a trace of white thread wanted to wrap around the gray-robed man. The gray-robed man blocked the sword with his mace, and sent out true qi to disperse those white lines, and the aftermath of the collision between the mace and the sword destroyed the wall of the county office, revealing the room inside, and the gray-robed man immediately gathered a large amount of true qi in his right hand, and that true qi was faintly with a golden light. "Great Demon of the Transformation Period, does he want to ruin this place?" As he spoke, the Taoist priest hurriedly used his true qi as well, gathered his true qi and blasted it towards the gray-robed man, and then took out a purple golden bell from his sleeve robe and began to use his true qi to trigger it. The gray-robed man's face changed, and he hurriedly shot out a cloud of true qi and fled. The two True Qi clouds collided, and the aftermath destroyed the yamen hall, and even some of the surrounding rooms were also affected, and the entire county yaya shook. The Taoist priest put away the magic weapon and looked at the direction where the gray-robed man flew away and glared angrily: "How can there be such a big demon in such a remote place?"
"Brother...... And also...... How far is that?" "It should be soon. Xiao Yu's face also sank. They had walked out of the woods, through a thicket, through a ravine, and now on a meadow as far as the eye could see, and the time had shifted from morning to afternoon. They were surrounded by plants they were not familiar with, and they brought less and less food, and they hadn't even taken a sip of water since yesterday, and now they were tired and thirsty. "Where is the water? I'm so thirsty. Duoduo said listlessly. "Wait a minute, Duoduo. As he spoke, Xiao Yu dragged a handful of grass, kneaded it, dripped the juice into his mouth and tasted it, and quickly spit it out, "It's so astringent!" Then, he changed another kind of grass, tasted it, and almost vomited. Duoduo cried and hugged Xiao Yu and said, "Brother, what are you doing?" "Without water, we will die here, I want to find which grass juice can replace water." "I'll come too!" Duoduo was about to pull the grass to try, but was stopped by Xiao Yu, and said weakly: "No need, this kind of thing can be done alone." "How can you try so much grass, I'll come too!" "Don't, Duoduo, this will make you thirstier ......" Duoduo held Xiao Yu's hand and said, "Brother, let's tide over the difficulties together." ”
In the inn of the bazaar, Mu Langqing and Lan Tingxue were discussing the next step, "Are you going back?" Lan Tingxue asked. "No, I'm not at ease, I'm going to go to the Dali Temple trial site to take a look. "Langqing, let's go home, I always feel faintly uneasy. "It's okay at home, the people of the court have already left the mountain village when we leave. ”
At dusk, in the Wenji Mountains, Xiao Yu and Duo Duo didn't find the grass that could quench their thirst, the two were so thirsty that they could barely walk upright, Duo Duo fell to the ground first, and then Xiao Yu couldn't hold it and fell to the ground, they crawled with difficulty, "Duo...... Duoduo, I want to see you...... Laughing" "Brother...... What are you...... What are you talking about?" Duoduo, you smile...... I just felt ...... Full of power. "Really...... "Yes, you want that...... Grin. Duoduo reluctantly smiled to encourage Xiao Yu, and suddenly Xiao Yu flicked her finger to Duo Duo, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Duoduo felt three cool things enter his mouth, unconsciously closed his mouth, a stream of sweet and sour juice escaped, and he suddenly felt that his body had regained some strength. "It's ...... Berries, when people are most thirsty, use the will to burst out the most to survive...... I also kept three ...... Duoduo, your smile...... It's beautiful. "Brother!" tears rained down. "Let's go, keep going, don't look back, go forward...... There is hope...... Duoduo's voice cried hoarsely, "There are three left!Why do you give them all!" "This meadow, it's too ...... It's vast, and only then will it be possible for you to get out...... Otherwise the two of us...... will all die. ”
Dali Temple is 40,000 miles away from Wennan County, but even so, as long as there are spirit beast mounts, express BMWs, they can still be reached within two days and nights, and they can also be reached by teleportation formation, but the cost is extremely high, and only the royal family can be so luxurious. Lan Tingxue summoned a turquoise water unicorn from Zhenkun's bag, six feet high, and the water unicorn lowered its head like a docile pet and rubbed Lan Tingxue's legs. Lan Tingxue stroked the head of the water qilin, "Okay, it's only been a long time, and you're so coquettish again." Mu Langqing took out the giant que, "Ha...... You still have this little guy. Lan Tingxue grimaced and said, "It's not like you, you dismissed all the entourage mounts when you lived in seclusion, so ruthless ......" "Okay, let's go!" Mu Langqing stood on the giant sword. "Good. Lan Tingxue stroked the head of the water qilin and rode on it. The two flew to Dali Temple at high speed.
The sunset is getting more and more yellow, "Let's go together." Duoduo struggled to carry Xiao Yu, but obviously lost his physical strength and fell to the ground. "No, Duoduo, you can go quickly. Find a water source...... Come and save me again. Duoduo cried and hugged Xiao Yu, "No, you lied to me, I won't leave." There is no end here, how can I come back to save you......" Xiao Yu pushed Duoduo, "Let's go! It's too late when it's dark!" Duoduo was still unmoved. "Well, whatever, if you want...... Die here and become ...... The dry bones here, that's ...... Die of thirst...... Let's go here......" Duoduo lay cross-legged on Xiao Yu's chest and whispered: "Brother, you don't have to provoke me, I will follow wherever you go...... This time is no exception......" Xiao Yu cried and shook his head, his consciousness gradually blurred, and gradually closed his eyes.
Duoduo cried in despair, "Boom...... Elder brother...... Brother ......"
It was darker, darker.
Duoduo trembled and took out the four-petal clover she carried with her, and begged with tears: "The clover that symbolizes luck, save my brother......"
It was darker, boom, boom, boom, thunder rang out like thunder, and then the rain fell heavily.
Duoduo was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Rain! brother, we are saved!" Seeing that Xiao Yu was still not awake, she quickly opened Xiao Yu's mouth with her hand, and a little rain fell into her mouth, Xiao Yu coughed and woke up, Duoduo hugged Xiao Yu excitedly, "Brother, great, you finally woke up!" "Duoduo?" Xiao Yu looked around in a daze, and then said excitedly: "Great! We are saved! Quick, Duoduo, find something to collect rain!"
