Inside the Valley of the Rising Clouds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Shao used the branch he found to stir the firewood and took a deep breath of heating in the flickering firelight. He agreed with Li Xiaoqian and Long Qian that the three of them would take turns to keep vigil, Long Qian had been on guard for two hours before, and now it was his turn to keep watch.
"There is a magic circle that is difficult for the second generation of disciples to break through, what kind of night is it keevery?"
Yu Shao complained while rubbing his hands to ward off the cold, and the cold air in the Barrier Ridge was unbearable even for the Tongmai disciples.
Time passed slowly, Yu Shao's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and just as he was about to lean against the wall to take a nap, there was a sudden sound of rustling outside the formation.
"Someone attacking?"
Yu Shao heard the sound of a carp beating up, and followed the sound to look, only to see a few sneaky figures wandering around the gap in the east of the valley. Yu Shao's heart jumped, and he woke up Long Qian and Li Xiaowei beside him, the three of them took out the weapons they were carrying, Long Qian picked up the torches in the bonfire, and walked to the formation barrier in the east to take a closer look, it turned out to be four fourth-generation disciples wearing their own Taoist robes.
All four of them had large and small scars on their bodies, one of them had a broken leg, and they had to be driven by two of them to move around, and it seemed that they were disciples who had escaped in the Battle of the Great Ape before. They were banging against the barrier, trying to come in and rest with the crowd.
"It should be me who turned into a previously separated disciple and let them in." Li Xiaowei looked at it for a while and saw that there was no suspicion, and said to the two.
"Wait." Yu Shao frowned and asked, "Which lineage are you disciples of?" ”
"Senior Brother Hui, we are disciples of the Huayuan First Lineage." One of the four immediately replied.
"Is there a rune?"
The four of them took out the yellow talisman paper from their bodies and showed it to Yu Shao and the three of them, and the three of them were not at ease after checking the talisman, and checked the cultivation of the four of them and the magic weapons they carried, and confirmed that the four of them were not threatening, so they pulled out the formation flag and let the four of them enter.
After the four of them entered the valley, they also found an open space to sit down at random, took out the plaster from their bags to treat the wounds on their bodies, and did not do anything else. The three of them observed them for a while, Long Qian and Li Xiaoqian fell asleep again, and Yu Shao was left to continue the vigil.
In the cold night, the campfires in the valley were almost exhausted, and only sporadic sparks hovered in the air.
I don't know if the movement of the four people entering the valley is too big, or if the sleep itself is too shallow, Wu Ming woke up in a daze, and at first glance, he saw these four four generations of disciples who had just entered the valley, and the place where these people chose to rest was very close to the rest place of Wu Ming's team, which was also an arm's length away.
"Borrow some herbs."
One of the four people sitting closest to Wu Ming saw the medicine basket on Wu Ming's back and said to him stiffly.
Wu Ming saw the appearance of this person clearly through the sporadic firelight, he was born with high eyebrows, good facial features, he looked just sixteen or seventeen years old, he was a young man who was not bad-looking, but there was a sickly paleness on his face, and the whole person spoke with a sense of coldness. The three people behind him were the same age as him, and they also had a more or less cold aura.
Wu Ming took out the ointment he had prepared before departure from the medicine basket and handed it to this person, but his eyes did not take his eyes off him, until he met the person's dull pupils, Wu Ming's face changed.
The pair of dark eyes were deep, cloudy, and occasionally weirdly turned upward, which might be a sign of lethargy in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Wu Ming, who was accustomed to life and death, it was a sign of extreme danger.
The pupils are dull, and he is already dead!
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Wu Ming lowered his head and looked at the other three with the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he found that the pupils of several of them were dizzy, and one of them had a slight astigmatism in his eyes under the light of the fire, and the time of death was probably more than an hour!
In the middle of the night, there were actually four dead people mixed into the valley, and this fact made Wu Ming's heartbeat rise sharply.
The four "corpses" were unaware of Wu Ming's observation, and wiped the "wounds" on their bodies with ointment, their faces were extremely calm, and they couldn't see a trace of the pain of the dressing, Wu Ming, who saw everything in his eyes, took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the screams that were held in his throat back into his stomach.
There are thousands of Taoist techniques in the world, and it is not surprising that some people use the secret technique of chasing corpses.
"Calm, calm...... I don't know what hole cards these four 'corpse brothers' have, but now revealing their identities is more than worth the loss, and besides, the senior brothers present may not necessarily believe me. ”
Wu Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart, he didn't think that the purpose of these four "corpse brothers" was to blend in and pull out the formation flag, not to mention how strong their corpses could be, there were so many people present, as long as they made any changes, they would probably be overwhelmed by the sea of people. Besides, the three generations of senior brothers who were keeping vigil were not far away, and it was difficult to say whether they could get close to the array plate.
In this way, the corpse chaser should have some hole cards that can threaten everyone, and it is even more dangerous to hastily reveal the identities of the four without figuring out the hole cards.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ling Zhou, who had fallen into a deep sleep in the distance, and Wu Ming suddenly thought about it.
Enduring the pain caused by the wound on the soles of his feet, Wu Ming rushed to the sleeping Ling Zhou in three steps, shook him awake with force, and then whispered in his ear: "Brother Ling, do me a favor." ”
"What?" Ling Zhou yawned, he was still a little dissatisfied with being disturbed by his sweet dream, but when he saw Wu Ming's solemn face, his expression became serious, and he replied in a low voice, "You just have to say." ”
Wu Ming said in a deep voice: "Fight with me." ”
"Huh?" Ling Zhou was stunned.
"It's just disguised as a fight, and it's better to get everyone's eyes over." Wu Ming whispered about his plan, "During the fight, try to go in the direction of the east. ”
Ling Zhou glanced at the empty valley mouth in the east, and probably understood what Wu Ming meant, although he didn't know what Wu Ming's purpose was, he still nodded and agreed to Wu Ming's request.
In the next second, Wu Ming pulled out the stainless steel sword on his back, and with a sudden "burst", the tip of the sword stabbed towards Ling Zhou's chest. Ling Zhou was not slow, as a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, his swordsmanship attainments were much higher than Wu Ming's, and he immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist, and then used the sword body to block Wu Ming's stabbing attack.
"Ding......
The sound of the collision of the two swords echoed in the valley, and in the silent night sky, this sound was infinitely amplified.
Almost all the surrounding disciples were awakened, and when they looked in this direction in surprise, they saw that Wu Ming and Ling Zhou had already passed more than a dozen moves in the blink of an eye. The two of them shrank on their feet, waving their long swords in their hands, and ran towards the east exit as they fought.
"What happened?" Feng Jingyu and Lu Bingyun were quickly woken up, they looked in the direction of the fight in disbelief, no one expected that Wu Ming, the doctor in the team, would suddenly fight with someone.
"What's wrong?" Long Qian and Li Xiaowei were woken up one after another, and asked Yu Shao, who was keeping vigil, suspiciously.
"How do I know?" Yu Shao himself was still inexplicable, he shrugged, "Eighty percent of these two fourth-generation disciples usually have contradictions, and it just happened that they quarreled at this time." ”
"No matter how contradictory there is, you can't fight at this time, and you can't let people sleep in the middle of the night?" Li Xiaowei usually hates people arguing for her to sleep, and now she is in danger and can finally take a break, not to mention how hot it is to be woken up, she sneered, her figure flashed like a ghost, and instantly appeared in front of the two people who were fighting, and she didn't ask about the situation, and her right hand was directly buckled into a claw on the shoulder of Wu Ming, who was closer to her.
With the strength of her pulse period, this time she can make Wu Ming's shoulder blades misplaced!
Seeing that her palm was about to buckle on Wu Ming's shoulder, but seeing Wu Ming step on the ground in one step, he used his intention to move, and his body turned into a white shadow and rushed forward more than a dozen steps, like a gust of wind, narrowly escaping from under her palm.
"Ground Walk?"
