At this time, the weather was still early, and the official road was still empty, and there was no trace.

He Bao suddenly gave a look to the person behind him, and two soldiers quietly dismounted and went deep into the grass.

Fang Ling stood on a high place, all the movement around him was under his nose, and when the two of them were about to walk down the hill, he suddenly laughed, turned around, and galloped away.

This war horse is a few fine horses in the horse training farm, and the speed is as fast as lightning, and it rushes out like this, shocking Xiao Xue instinctively hugging Fang Ling, and her chest is tightly pressed up.

He Bao was not discouraged by Fang Ling's escape, but laughed out loud: "Actually taking the small road, you really chose your own dead end, chase me!"

Fang Ling has an excellent memory, he has long kept the map of Chu in his heart, and the counties around Qingping Pass are also well understood, this mountain road is the route he determined after careful selection, not to mention the twists and turns of the road, and there are many places connected.

Fang Ling rode his horse and galloped wildly, and the fat and strong horse was like an arrow from the string, running fast.

Although Xiao Xue knew that such contact would inevitably occur, she was still angry, but she had to hug him tighter, so as not to accidentally throw him off the horse.

Just sitting on the galloping horse, the sensitive parts of his chest hit the young man's back again and again, even if it was Xiao Xue, who had a strong heart, he couldn't help but have red ears, his little teeth were crumbling, and he wanted to jump off the horse.

It's just that Fang Ling didn't have the heart to enjoy such a beautiful blessing, the road basically went around the mountain, turning left and right, and it seemed to be running "chaotically", but in fact it was all a curve heading towards the north.

When the road became narrower and narrower, and the two horses could not go side by side at all, He Bao and the others had to slow down, so they had to adjust to let the fast horses chase ahead.

The distance between the two parties is getting farther and farther, and when passing by a mountain road and seeing a small county town in the distance, Fang Ling and Xiao Xue got off the horse, and then slapped the horse's buttocks with the horns, and the war horse galloped away in pain.

Fang Ling didn't have time to take pity on the abandoned war horse, and took Xiao Xue to the side of the mountain, heading in the northeast direction.

According to the mark on the map, the mountain that the two of them went on is called Jiukong Mountain, which is an extension of the mountain range on the side of Qingshui Pass, walking along the northeast direction of the mountain, it takes about two days to reach Zou County, and then from Zou County to the official road, it takes three days to reach Pingtan Pass.

On the way to Zou County, He Bao and the others would waste a lot of time in that county, because following the hooves of the war horses, they would definitely search in the vicinity, but they didn't know that they had already rushed to the northeast.

The mountains are as vast as the sea, and at first there are still mountain paths to be found, but the more you go up the mountain, the deeper and denser the forest becomes, and there is almost no road to find.

Fortunately, the fire pattern beast horn in Fang Ling's hand was extremely sharp, and it was easy to cover the path and thorns, and with one slash, the trees with thick bowls could be cut off without any mud and water, not to mention those small vine plants.

Walking in the northeast direction, walking down the hill and climbing up another hill, the time passed very quickly, and soon, the sun was about to set down the mountain.

Xiao Xue also looked a little tired dragging this mortal's body, and Fang Ling didn't know that it was very hard for her to follow, but the time was urgent, so she had to speed up her journey.

I don't know how long I walked, but when I came to a dense forest, a voice suddenly came from ahead: "Don't move!"

Fang Ling hurriedly pulled Xiao Xue back and hid behind the big tree to prevent the thieves from releasing arrows and the like.

No, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up in the bushes, with a big beard on his face, dressed as a hunter, and he laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bandit, I'm a hunter!"

Fang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and tied the Fire Pattern Beast Horn on his back.

The middle-aged man walked out, pointed to a bush on the ground and said, "This is a trap I put here, I saw you coming just now, I'm really afraid that you will step on it." ”

Fang Ling glanced there, if there was really a trap, if he didn't remind him, he might really step on it, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Uncle for reminding me." ”

The middle-aged Orion looked at the two of them with a smile and speculated, "You are sisters and brothers, right? Did you meet a bandit on the road and get separated from your family?"

Xiao Xue was slighted by Fang Ling when she rode a horse, and walked so far up the mountain that she hated Fang Ling to death, as soon as she heard this, she suddenly found that this was a good opportunity to overwhelm Fang Ling, so she said: "Uncle guessed accurately, my surname is Xiao, my name is Xiao Xue, he is my younger brother." ”

Fang Ling didn't know Xiao Xue's thoughts, but she was taken advantage of on this tongue, and then said: "We didn't meet the bandits, we 'lost' the way here. ”

The middle-aged Orion smiled and said, "My surname is Huang, you can call me Uncle Huang." It's not early now, so you can stay with me for one night, and tomorrow I'll send you to Linshui County below, where you can find your way. ”

Fang Ling asked, "Does Uncle Huang know how far this place is from Zou County?"

Huang Orion was slightly taken aback: "You are going to Zou County, which is a bit far from here, but there is a post station in Linshui County, or you can rent a horse, you can rush to Zou County." ”

Hearing him say this, Fang Ling had a bottom in his heart, he had a lot of silver tickets with him when he left the palace, and it was more than enough to rent a few horses.

The two of them followed Huang Orion towards the depths of the forest, it seemed that because of the rare relationship that had the upper hand on the tongue, Xiao Xue actually felt that her body was not so tired, and her mood was very relaxed.

It wasn't long before they saw a wooden hut in a clearing in the mountains, with dried animal skins hanging outside and traces of a bonfire outside.

Fang Ling looked around and said, "Uncle Huang lives here alone?"

Huang Orion put the prey on the ground, and said with a smile: "Yes, I like to be pure, and this mountain is free, and there is no need to pay taxes, but it is the best thing." ”

Fang Ling laughed and said, "That's right. ”

Walking into the house, Fang Ling saw that there were some hunting bows, knives and other tools hanging inside, he picked up a woodcutter casually, only to feel that this knife gave people a feeling that it was even thicker and sharper than what he saw.

His heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask Huang Orion, "Uncle Huang, where did you buy these tools?"

Huang Orion replied calmly: "I bought it at the blacksmith shop in the county, but that blacksmith master has long since ceased to do it." ”

Fang Ling secretly said that it was a pity, looking at the workmanship of this knife is extraordinary, I am afraid that he is not an ordinary blacksmith master, if this person can make a scabbard for the fire pattern beast horn, it will be good.

At this time, Huang Orion pushed open a door and said, "I have a small place here, so you sisters and brothers will squeeze into a room, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xue couldn't help but be stunned, but Fang Ling laughed: "Thank you, Uncle Huang, one room is enough, right, sister?"

The word "sister" specially added weight, and Xiao Xue couldn't help but glance at him, this hateful guy!

Huang Orion not only has a hand in hunting, but the game that is burned is sprinkled with spices picked at will, which can be described as fragrant, which makes people look at it, Fang Ling is so addicted to eating that even Xiao Xue has eaten half a rabbit.

After eating and drinking, it was already night, and when he entered the house, Fang Ling sat on the bed unceremoniously, grinning and said, "Sister, I'm used to sleeping in the bed, you should have no problem sleeping on the floor, right?"

"I'm going to practice all night, and it's not uncommon to get any bed. Xiao Xue snorted softly, and then sat down on the ground with a calm expression.

Fang Ling smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's a coincidence, I also have to practice all night, it seems that this bed is going to be empty." ”

After speaking, Fang Ling also sat cross-legged on the ground, and the moonlight happened to fall from the window, covering his body.

Xiao Xue couldn't help but glance at him, although her body was so weak that she was no different from a mortal, but after all, she had the foundation of a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and her eyesight and senses were much stronger than ordinary people.

At this time, she could almost clearly see streams of aura wrapping around Fang Ling, following his breath into his body, and some of them were actually floating outside his body.

Xiao Xue frowned, the Seven Realms of Martial Arts, based on the Brute Force Realm, ordinary martial artists need to go through a few years of cultivation to achieve it, and then it is the Qi Accumulation Realm, absorbing the qi of heaven and earth through breathing, so as to improve the physical body, and then be able to reach the Rigid Force Realm.

The ascension time above the Qi Accumulation Realm is determined by the cultivator's own comprehension and talent, but generally speaking, the age of reaching the Rigid Force Realm is around thirty years old.

When the Qi Accumulation Realm gradually reaches its peak, the absorbed Heaven and Earth will automatically float on the surface of the body, and after finally reaching the Rigid Force Realm, it can form a talisman true qi.

However, this phenomenon actually appeared in this 16-year-old boy, which means that he is about to enter the peak realm of the Qi Accumulation Realm.

Although this is not a great speed for a disciple of the Immortal Sect, it is simply a genius among geniuses for a mortal.

After practicing all night, the ice energy continued to circulate and grow in the body, and when the sky was bright, Fang Ling woke up from the realm of selflessness.

He has always been accustomed to getting up early, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance on this day of escaping from pursuit, and when he saw that Xiao Xue was still cultivating, he didn't bother, and walked out lightly.

Fang Ling was about to say hello when he suddenly heard footsteps under the mountain road in front of him, and couldn't help but say vigilantly: "Uncle Huang, is anyone usually here coming?"

Huang Orion shook his head and smiled: "You are the first people I have seen on the mountain in the past six months, but I can't even see a single figure on weekdays. ”

When Fang Ling heard this, his heart became vigilant, and he hurriedly came to the intersection, looked down, and saw a group of people walking in the distance.
