Chapter 15: The White Horse in the Stone Forest
Whistling Wind Mountain, the six peaks stand together, regardless of the other five peaks, the scenery of the single main peak, is one of the rare famous sites in the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The main peak of Howling Wind Mountain is named "Howling Wind" because of the violent wind that surrounds it all the year round, and after a thousand years, the five dangerous mountains where they are separated are named after "Xuanzhen", "Chaofeng", "Chilun", "Huorong" and "Zhiqiu", corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Although the six peaks have their own names, they are all called "howling winds".
After the main peak of the whistling wind stands side by side with the five peaks, it is named "Juntian", the peak of the wind is viewed from a distance, like a sword out of the hole, if you look closely, you can find that the main peak of the whistling wind, the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountainside are all a piece of emerald green, but after reaching the halfway up the mountainside, it suddenly becomes the scenery of the bare rock mountain, although there are some trees scattered and scattered, but there is no trace of vegetation on the ground. But when I got to the top of the mountain, I was unbelievably surrounded by lush forests. What's even more peculiar is that in the southeast of the main peak of the whistling wind, from the foot of the mountain to the peak, it is all bare mountain rocks, on it, there is no green scene at all, it is really a smell of snort, and the person who sees it is strange!
At this time, at the foot of the main peak of the Howling Wind, there was a wooden bed in an ancient pavilion, and Xiao Tian was lying quietly asleep on it, and two young disciples of Xuanyu Pavilion were taking care of him. On the other side, on the ancient road up the mountain, seven teenagers followed Hua Chengfeng, who had a white beard, and walked slowly.
This is the third day of the official start of the Xuanyu Pavilion trial, after a night of rest, after the seven successfully broke through the Yuan Spirit Stone, the exhausted teenagers embarked on this trial road in high spirits. Of course, Ran Hanchuan was not among them, except for the sorrow and sighs brought to him by Xiao Tian's incident, his spirit was actually the best among the seven people.
After walking for several miles on the mountain road, Hua Chengfeng finally stopped, turned around and said to everyone: "The final round of trials will start next, this time the trials test your skills and martial arts, the trials are divided into two stages, and the results of the first stage will determine your second stage of the test." ”
Hua Chengfeng cleared his throat and continued: "This first stage of the test is to climb to the peak of my Xuanyu Pavilion, the mountain where we are located is the main peak of Xuanyu Pavilion, Jun Tianfeng, the main building of my Xuanyu Pavilion 'Yinfeng Tower' is on the top of this Jun Tianfeng, the second stage of the test will be held in Yinfeng Tower, at that time, many seniors in the door will come to take a look." Speaking of this, Hua Chengfeng looked at Ran Hanchuan, and Ran Hanchuan stared at him with blazing eyes, which was a powerful belief and a winning persistence that he had received from Xiao Tianna.
Hua Chengfeng pointed in the direction of the peak, and said: "You can go up the mountain from here, and after finding seven hidden tokens on the way, you can go to the Yinfeng Tower, the time limit is two days, as for the place where the token is hidden, I can tell you that it is near the top of the mountain, so this first stage of the test is for your speed, endurance and luck, of course, the faster you reach the top of the mountain, the greater the choice, remember, only one of these tokens can allow one of you to pass the first round directly in the later stage of the test!" Hua Chengfeng smiled mysteriously, glanced at the seven high-spirited teenagers, his body suddenly moved three feet off the ground, floating in the air, with his back to a young man, floating towards the top of the mountain, the appearance was clearly not slow or urgent, but his figure disappeared without a trace in just a few breaths, only his last sentence floated on the ancient road: "Now, the trial begins, come on!" ”
Seeing this, the seven teenagers all had a sense of trance more or less, and the rebellious Sun Yuan quickly came back to his senses, saw a pair of envious eyes beside him, and sneered in his heart, and prepared to start walking towards the mountain regardless of others' own concerns. But when he turned his gaze back to the road ahead, he found a figure with a blue ink-colored long sword behind him who had already walked far away, and this figure was Ran Hanchuan.
"This guy..."Sun Yuan muttered a few words to himself, and he no longer procrastinated, and soon embarked on this road to the top of the mountain. Then, the rest of the teenagers also went on the road one after another, among the seven teenagers, the fastest one was Ran Hanchuan and Sun Yuan at the front, and Mi Li, the fat man, was the most pitiful, a person panting and falling at the end, a bulky fat body was already sweating profusely, and he obviously looked very tired and miserable, but he never knew what to curse there with a mouth?
Ran Hanchuan walked alone in the front, and before he knew it, the seven teenagers had been scattered on different forks in the road. Ran Hanchuan is moving forward at the moment, his heart has long been filled with fighting spirit, maybe it is the so-called turning sadness into strength. He knew that he was not only for himself, but also for Xiao Tian, he wanted Xiao Tian to see his best results, even if Xiao Tian couldn't continue, he had to complete the double test with Xiao Tian's share.
Spotting the direction of the top of the mountain, Ran Hanchuan walked like a fly, as if tireless, and kept walking forward. Gradually, Ran Hanchuan began to find that the grass and trees around him began to thin out, a strange rock began to spread all around, a gray-white trunk, and slender trees with sparse branches began to settle in this area.
This area is also said to be a place with green grass and dense forests, and now this appearance is rumored to be related to the ancestor of the Xuanyu Pavilion. Legend has it that when the ancestor Feng Zhenyang of Xuanyu Pavilion was preparing to establish a sect here, an enemy on the rivers and lakes came to the door with his master, and it was rumored that Feng Zhenyang's enemy master was also a senior master, and the two fought, Feng Zhenyang was young but not weak at all with this senior, and in the end, he used his strongest move in the strongest swordsmanship that he had learned from the wind, and then a sword was gone, and there was no grass, and he hit his enemy's master to vomit blood three liters, and he retreated in defeat. And under the sword of Feng Zhenyang's earth-shattering ghost, a section of the main peak of Howling Wind Mountain, a section of the mountainside of Juntian, was swept by the fierce and powerful sword qi in his sword, just like a hurricane roaring through the mountains and forests countless times, causing a large area here on the main peak to be lifeless after this battle, and only bare mountain rocks remained.
Afterwards, there were people who had good deeds to investigate, all of them were shocked by this situation and this scene, and among these people, there were also many capable people, after they saw this place, they all said that there could be no vegetation growth in this place for a thousand years, because under the sword of the wind and the sun, even the soil here disappeared strangely, and there was no factor for the growth of plants. But under the magic of nature, a few decades later, this bare mountain rock began to grow such a kind of gray trunk, thin branches and few leaves of the tree, but this kind of tree looks like a lack of nutrients and poor growth, its trunk is surprisingly hard, but in the later development of Xuanyu Pavilion provided a lot of good materials for casting blades.
Because this forest grows on bare rocks, and the trunk is as hard as a rock, this forest is called "Stone Forest" by later generations.
The origin of this stone forest, Ran Hanchuan had already heard of it in the small talk with Hua Chengfeng in the night before today's trial, and now when I saw it with my own eyes, I was shocked by this unique scenery, bringing people an intuitive feeling of being desolate but not desolate, negligent but not leaking, dead but not stiff.
When he was surprised by the unique and strange landscape of Xuanyu Pavilion, Ran Hanchuan's nerves also began to tense, and he always paid attention to the movements around him, because in the small talk, Hua Chengfeng also told him that there were many beasts living in this stone forest, and there were many fierce beasts among them. And this, although Ran Hanchuan is vigilant, but he doesn't have too much to worry about, the mountain forest life when he was young has brought him full hunting experience, and he is still more confident in preventing and dealing with wild beasts, although this stone forest is not the same as the ordinary mountain forest.
Lightened his steps and walked quietly in the stone forest, this bare ground helped Ran Hanchuan hide his footsteps well, as long as he walked carefully, he would probably not alarm any fierce beasts!
Half of the time of the first day has passed, the sun is three poles, the lazy sun fades away so irritable, gently illuminating the stone forest, the so-called forest is deep and does not know where, Ran Hanchuan now does not know whether he has walked through half of the stone forest, or has almost walked out of this area, which means that he is no longer far from the top of the mountain.
"Huh" Ran Hanchuan held on to a tree in the stone forest, feeling the solid touch, he let out a sigh, although his heart was still full of fighting spirit at the moment, but it was still very tiring to walk the mountain road for half a day without stopping. As soon as he raised his head, Ran Hanchuan suddenly felt a dead soul, and he was so frightened that he immediately jumped back a big step, because the moment he raised his head, he saw it, right in front of his eyes, less than three inches in front of him, a pair of eyes looked straight at him, and the surroundings of those eyes were actually snow-white, if it weren't for this pair of eyes, with the scenery of the surrounding gray and white trees, Ran Hanchuan might not have really discovered the existence of this eye owner.
Ran Hanchuan's eyes widened, and he almost let out an exclamation, stood firm, felt that there was no movement in front of him, and immediately calmed down and looked at the owner of those eyes.
These eyes were on both sides of his cheeks, so when they were close, Ran Hanchuan suddenly saw these eyes, which was a very terrifying feeling. And now he looked closely, and found that these eyes were actually horse eyes, because the owner of these eyes was a white horse covered in snow. But what makes this white horse unusual is its white, spotless whiteness. What's even more strange is that its single horn that grows on the horse's brain still has a thick cuticle at the tip of the horn, which makes Ran Hanchuan feel that as long as it crashes into him, his body will definitely open a blood hole that is large in front and small in the back, transparent and cool.
Coincidentally, just as Ran Hanchuan was staring at the horns of the white horse, thinking of this, the white horse seemed to suddenly get angry, and suddenly burst away.
"I'll fuck you uncle!" Ran Hanchuan has always boasted that he has a good temper and does not scold easily, but when this white horse suddenly came like this, he couldn't help but say a foul word, turned around and smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away. But these two legs are inferior to four-legged ones after all, and although this white horse looks strange, he is the head horse after all, Ran Hanchuan is young, and there are no real guys who can handle it, and he can support the scene, how can he outrun a horse?
But Ran Hanchuan obviously couldn't outrun this horse, even he was praying for himself, but the white horse behind him who looked like he was already furious seemed to be playing tricks on him, running unhurriedly, and he couldn't catch up but he just didn't let Ran Hanchuan get rid of it, I really don't know if this horse did it on purpose or if this strange horse could only run so fast in the first place?
Ran Hanchuan really didn't even have the strength to eat, and ran fast in one go, but this speed obviously couldn't be maintained for too long, as long as the speed of his escape fell a little, the end must be to be topped by this angry white horse, I believe that under this roof, his little life will really be over.
"Fuck you, bastard! Fuck your ancestors! Ran Hanchuan couldn't help but scold, it was too helpless, too weird, and too aggrieved. He kept running, and found that there were a few trees gathered together in front of him, and he was about to bypass them, when suddenly, the wind behind Ran Hanchuan was loud, and the horse's hooves "clicked", and he could hear that this damn white horse actually suddenly accelerated, but this couldn't help Ran Hanchuan think too much, he knew that if he wanted to bypass the tree in front of him, he must have finished playing, so he had to ignore it, and "crashed" into the tree in front of him.
"Poof", "Bang", there was a muffled sound, and a crisp sound came out of the stone forest at the same time. Ran Hanchuan ran to the tree, jumped suddenly, jumped onto the tree, hit himself, and didn't care about being dizzy, his arms immediately hugged the trunk. On the side, in front of a tree less than an inch away from the tree, a single horn of the white horse pierced through the hard trunk like cutting tofu, making a loud crashing sound.
Ran Hanchuan really felt that this damn white horse was playing tricks on himself, as long as this horn was a little away from his side, his ass would be... In short, even if you are lucky enough not to die, it is impossible to stand up in the future.
Turning his head and looking at the tree that had suffered on his behalf, Ran Hanchuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, obediently, if this thing really stabbed himself, it is estimated that he will hurt himself to death. No, probably not to feel it, because this horn is so sharp, piercing such a hard trunk is a blink of an eye, let alone his own flesh and blood?
"Crackling", "crackling", "crackling", Ran Hanchuan was thinking about it, the tree that was pierced by the white horse on the side, and there was a continuous cracking sound on its trunk, this tree, from the position where the white horse was pierced, began to shatter, just a few breaths, this tree was actually shattered, and the branches and leaves that fell higher were the ashes of Ran Hanchuan's head.
"Oh my God" Ran Hanchuan stared, and let out a helpless sigh, he just thought that while this dead horse crashed into the tree, its horn might not be pulled out for a while, and he could take the opportunity to escape. Hua Chengfeng said that in this area, there are many Xuanyu Pavilion disciples stationed here, who will protect them, the teenagers who participated in the trial, at this moment, when they are really needed, but what about people? What about people? Ran Hanchuan really wanted to scold, but at this moment, the white horse shook his head, as if to shake off the dust from the branches and leaves on his horns, and then looked at him again.
Seeing the white horse look at himself with ill-intentioned eyes, Ran Hanchuan suddenly thought speechlessly, it seems that this white horse is the truth to kill me!
Ran Hanchuan's heart was horizontal, let's die, maybe he couldn't run anymore, let go of the arm holding the trunk, slid from the tree to the ground, and then lay down again, opened his arms, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said loudly: "You dead horse, if you want my life, come here, I won't run away, or trample me to death, don't use your horn to push me!" Looking at the horn of the white horse, thinking of the tree that was broken by the top of the white horse, Ran Hanchuan was stunned in his heart, he really didn't want to die on that single horn even if he died.
It's a pity, can Hakuba understand him? But it just so happened that this white horse seemed to really understand his words, because Ran Hanchuan clearly saw that this white horse was actually very humane and cracked its big horse mouth, and the look in his eyes was clearly a mockery. The horse was actually laughing, and it seemed to be laughing non-stop, even its hooves were constantly slapping on the ground, Ran Hanchuan could understand that this horse had actually been playing tricks on him from the beginning to the present.
"Your grandma's! Dead horse, did I provoke you? What are you fooling me for? If you want my life, you will take it, but you can't insult me! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! When Ran Hanchuan saw the appearance of the white horse, he immediately became angry, and a carp jumped up from the ground with a straight face, and said righteously.
The white horse seemed to be stunned for a moment when he heard Ran Hanchuan's words, but then, it seemed to laugh even more happily, and the four horses' hooves were slapping the ground back and forth, and the speed of hitting the ground could be seen.
"You!" Ran Hanchuan began to be a little angry, it was really that this horse was too hateful, and what made Ran Hanchuan even more depressed was that in the face of this horse that couldn't run away and couldn't beat it, he really dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Ran Hanchuan simply did it to the ground, wrapped his hands around his chest, and let the horse laugh, on the other hand, the white horse seemed to be laughing even more.
One person and one horse were deadlocked, and a small head suddenly appeared on the head of the white horse, Ran Hanchuan glanced at it inadvertently, and his heart was suddenly surprised and happy, and he jumped up and shouted: "Xiaoqing?!" ”
Speaking of which, Xiaoqing has indeed disappeared for a day and a night, although Ran Hanchuan is not worried about it, but here, seeing it on the head of this horse, Ran Hanchuan is really surprised.
Xiaoqing snorted and put on an angry look, but after looking at Ran Hanchuan, it seemed that it couldn't help it, covering its abdomen and rolling on the white horse's head.
"You! Damn, you're laughing at me too! "Why doesn't Ran Hanchuan understand now, this trick on himself must also have Xiaoqing's shadow behind it.
When Xiaoqing recovered, its small abdomen seemed to be a little twitching, and it seemed to be holding back something, beckoning to Ran Hanchuan.
Ran Hanchuan was angry, and asked impatiently: "What are you doing?" ”
Xiaoqing raised his little paws, pointed to the back of the white horse, and suddenly squatted up, and shook his two little paws in front of him.
Ran Hanchuan immediately understood, and said in surprise: "Are you letting me ride it?" ”
