Chapter 9 The Valley Wind Howling
Looking at the stone bricks on the ground, there was a strange sound in my ears, and the fog around me suddenly disappeared without a trace, and it felt like I had suddenly woken up from my sleep, and I didn't know what to do. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Raising his head in astonishment and standing up, Ran Hanchuan couldn't believe what he was looking for.
Still standing in place, still the center of the two stone pillars, in front of him, is an ancient and mysterious mountain gate, which looks simple and unremarkable, but exudes a solemn atmosphere of vicissitudes. Behind the mountain gate, there is a bottomless mountain road, and an imposing sword edge towers in front of you, like a sharp sword, shocking the spirits of the mountains.
In front of the mountain gate, a young man in a white robe was greeting him with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal him to walk to a corner behind the mountain gate.
There, there were a few teenagers the same age as Ran Hanchuan, some were sitting quietly on the ground, some were full of pride, and some looked at Ran Hanchuan, conveying a burst of hostility.
Ran Hanchuan walked over, smiled, bowed to the young sages, and then found a place to sit down.
Sit down, Ran Hanchuan still has a cloud in his head, and he still has a dream-like feeling that he has come to the mountain gate. Looking outside the mountain gate again, Ran Hanchuan was shocked, and he saw countless teenagers standing outside the mountain gate, wandering in place. The faces of those teenagers had different expressions, some thoughtful, some distressed, some timid, some irritable, and so on.
Looking closely, those teenagers were clearly moving, but the steps of the movement were incomparably small, so small that they couldn't be discovered without careful observation.
"This should be a formation" On Ran Hanchuan's side, a young man who was sitting quietly and watching suddenly spoke.
Ran Hanchuan looked at the young man. The young man's body was quite strong, to be precise, a little fat, with a round face that looked quite heroic, and his eyes were blazing, as if he was thinking about something.
Ran Hanchuan nodded, and also said: "I also found out, this is a formation, but I can't figure out how it is formed." ”
"Hmph, if you can figure out the way to form this formation at a glance, do you still need to come here to apprentice?" A rather arrogant voice suddenly sounded.
Ran Hanchuan looked at it, it was a teenager with his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking proudly at the teenagers who were almost standing still outside the mountain gate, and said to Ran Hanchuan with righteousness and evil on his lips.
Ran Hanchuan frowned, but he didn't deny it, and looked at the fat man again, the fat man was smiling at him, and said heartily: "My name is Mi Li, what about your friend?" ”
"Down, Ran Hanchuan." Ran Hanchuan said, feeling good about a fat man named Mi Li.
"What is the name of the person you ask now, I don't know if you can be accepted into the door by Xuanyu Pavilion, you can make friends so quickly, you can't say that you will be a person from two worlds when the time comes!" The wicked boy smirked.
"Oh, it's good to stand and talk!" Miri snorted.
"Why?" Ran Hanchuan was puzzled.
"It doesn't hurt in the waist!"
"You!" Anger flashed on the evil young man's face, but then he retracted again, and it was the Xuanyu Pavilion disciple who was leading the young men in front of the mountain gate to look over here. The young man snorted: "You fat man, don't be taken under the door with me in the end, otherwise you will be good-looking!" ”
"Okay, I'll wait!" Mi Li said indifferently: "I'm waiting for you to pass the trial." ”
"Humph!" The boy snorted, and then stopped talking.
Ran Hanchuan and Mi Li also stood up, because the Xuanyu Pavilion disciple who had been introduced was walking towards a group of young men inside the mountain gate.
This disciple was dressed in a moon-white robe, looking otherworldly, his appearance was extremely dignified and steady, and he was carrying a long sword behind him, which looked very extraordinary.
"In the lower song, he is the leading disciple of this Xuanyu Pavilion entry trial." The young man introduced to the young people: "The time to participate in the entrance trial of this sect is so long, the rest of the children who have not entered the mountain gate will be sent to the bottom of the mountain, and now I announce that the entry trial of the twenty-first generation disciples of Xuanyu Pavilion has officially begun!" ”
Hearing this, Ran Hanchuan couldn't help but break out in a fine cold sweat behind him, it turned out that he had almost lost the opportunity to enter the trial.
"Future junior brothers and sisters, everyone come with me." Bending his arms forward, he gestured to a young man, and then took the lead towards the mountain.
I thought it was the way up the mountain, but not long after, Ran Hanchuan found that the road everyone was taking was going down the mountain. After walking for a while, the curve in front suddenly stopped, turned to face everyone, and said, "In front is the place where my Xuanyu Pavilion Patriarch Feng Zhenyang attained the Tao, Howling Wind Valley. ”
All the young people were in an uproar, Ran Hanchuan looked from a distance, the mountain road in front of him seemed to be a crack, and there were steep peaks on both sides, and he felt a strong wind hitting here.
"In the Valley of the Howling Winds, there has been a constant flow of winds since ancient times, and its ferocity has increased with the increase in altitude. Back then, my patriarch was on the top of Xiaofeng Mountain, which was enough to make ordinary people shatter their bones, and comprehended the peerless mental method passed down from generation to generation in my Xuanyu Pavilion and the world-shattering sword technique. Qu Buzhi stood in front of all the young people and slowly spoke, his eyes showed fascination, so that the thoughts of the young people in the field couldn't help but follow these words, and returned to two thousand years ago, behind the supreme talent, witnessing his untainted demeanor in the world.
Qu Buzhi continued: "Next, you little brothers will pass through this Howling Wind Valley, and at the other end of this valley, there will be a senior brother from the door to guide everyone. Rest assured, the altitude here is the lowest part of Howling Wind Mountain, and although the wind is strong, it is not enough to hurt your body. After making a brief description, a light wind blew around him, and he himself became lighter, and carried it upwards with the wind.
"I hope that everyone in the field can become the little junior brother and sister below, come on!" The last sound of the twist and turn came, but its form was nowhere to be seen.
The envious look in the eyes of all the young men gradually dissipated as the twist disappeared. Many people's eyes lit up with a spark of determination and walked into the valley. Ran Hanchuan hesitated slightly, and also walked towards the valley, and the little fat man named Mi Li was also not far from him, throwing a smile at him. In addition, the somewhat frivolous young man walked directly into the mysterious and unknown Howling Wind Valley early in the first formation.
After the young men entered the valley, above their place, two figures stood in the air without moving. One of them had a simple face and a modest figure, while the other was slender and long, with a hint of confusion and worry on his face.
"Senior brother, what are you worried about?" The middle-aged man with an honest face asked with a smile.
"Senior brother, is this really good?" Hearing this, the slender man asked: "No one has yet understood the mystery of the Howling Wind Valley, and the road in the valley is even more tortuous and abnormal, not to mention anything else, if some children are lost in it, and we do not realize it, so that they stay in the wind for a long time, more or less, it will cause some irreparable damage." ”
"What Senior Brother said is that I was a little ill-conceived this time, but I have asked Senior Brother Fang to lock in the aura of these teenagers, what Senior Brother Fang is best at is the technique of tracking, so there must not be much of a problem. Besides," the middle-aged man known as Senior Brother paused, and continued: "Besides, I received a letter from Senior Brother Deng, and this time Senior Brother Ran's orphan also came to participate in this trial, I really can't wait, this heart that has been cultivated for decades is actually a little throbbing. ”
"Yes, everyone is looking forward to that kid!" The slender man looked into the Valley of Howling Winds, where gusts of wind howled and the trial had officially begun.
As soon as I entered the valley, I felt a strong force coming from the front, blocking the pace of progress. The howling wind became more and more violent as the teenagers went deeper. Ran Hanchuan has been walking in the valley for half a day, the valley is full of forks, and even cave tunnels, where he is at the moment, except for him and Xiaoqing on the side, there is no one at all.
For the first time, Ran Hanchuan felt that it was so difficult to walk, and his face was already sweating profusely. On the contrary, Xiaoqing on the side seemed to be unaffected at all, but seemed very lively, running around on the ground as if playing.
"Ahh It's unreasonable! I'm not as fast as a baby wolf! Ran Hanchuan complained loudly, Xiaoqing in front of him turned his head when he heard the sound, and the wolf head deliberately raised it, looking quite proud.
The resistance of the wind was infinitely magnified in this valley, and Ran Hanchuan was exhausted by now, and he didn't know how far he still went, so Ran Hanchuan simply found a slightly larger mountain rock and sat down to rest as a shelter from the wind.
The valley is full of strong winds all year round, so the valley is unusually empty, and even the few boulders are hard under the force of the wind.
Ran Hanchuan sat down with his back against the boulder, resting, but suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart. Xiaoqing looked at Ran Hanchuan who was stunned, looked around suspiciously, and patted Ran Hanchuan with his little paws.
Ran Hanchuan came back to his senses, looked at Xiaoqing, and looked around again, with a trace of doubt and vigilance in his eyes.
"Hey, Xiaoqing, do you feel that the wind here seems to be watching us?" Ran Hanchuan asked Xiaoqing.
Xiao Qing shook his head very affirmatively, glanced at Ran Hanchuan with a lunatic look, and then jumped onto the boulder and sat against the wind, it seemed to enjoy this feeling, even if there was a strong wind that ordinary people could not bear.
On the winding road of Howling Wind Valley, although the wind was continuous, nothing strange happened, and there was no danger, only the wind became more and more powerful as it continued to go deeper, making it difficult for Ran Hanchuan to move an inch.
But Ran Hanchuan, who has been trained by Yun Xingtian since he was a child, has a lot stronger endurance than many teenagers of the same age, coupled with his inner persistence, he finally walked to the end of the valley step by step. At this end, a deep cave awaited him.
In the cave, the wind has weakened, but the vision is also shrouded in darkness. As he walked, Xiao Qing suddenly turned his head to one side, revealing a faint cyan light in the pitch-black cave.
"What's wrong, Xiaoqing?" Ran Hanchuan asked, Xiaoqing looked at Ran Hanchuan and shook its little head.
At the end of the cave, there is no road. Ran Hanchuan suddenly felt that his head was big, and Xiaoqing jumped on his shoulder, and a faint blue light appeared from his whole body, illuminating this small space.
"Wow, Xiaoqing, you can still use it like this!" Ran Hanchuan patted Xiaoqing's head with one hand, and suddenly, the blue light slowly dimmed.
"Hey, Xiaoqing, I was wrong, good sister, you can help me." Ran Hanchuan's voice instantly changed tone, begging, Xiaoqing raised its little head, and the blue light began to shine again.
At the same time, at the end of a dead end in the valley, the fat man named Mi Li looked at a young shoot stretching out from the stone wall, slowly stretched out his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "In this place where there is no grass, it is obviously very suspicious." ”
In another place, it was actually a cliff, and the evil frivolous young man stood on the edge of the cliff, with a smile on his lips, and then jumped down.
Behind a boulder in Howling Wind Valley, a thin yellow girl squatting here to shelter from the wind was attracted by the strange inscription on the boulder.
A young man with big eyes and thick eyebrows was standing in the clearing in the valley, and carefully looked at a strange stone in front of him, and there was a small hollow hole in the stone, and in this hole, there was a small flame burning slowly.
A girl in white walked to a place, and suddenly, a drizzle floated in the air, and with a strong wind, it rushed towards the girl.
……
Outside the Howling Wind Valley, where the young men who participated in the trial this time were located, a white-bearded old man sat quietly under a lonely pine, and beside him, two young Xuanyu Pavilion disciples were also sitting cross-legged.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and muttered, "The gate of Xunfeng has been opened, the gate of Xuanfeng has been opened, and the second of the nine gates has gone." ”
The two disciples beside him also opened their eyes and looked, and at the gap in front of them, a fat man and a young man who looked quite frivolous came slowly. One of them said, "I didn't expect someone to pass the test so quickly." ”
"Yes, it seems that this time, our Xuanyu Pavilion is going to add a lot of talents." The old man still said calmly, looked at the two teenagers in the distance, and slowly closed his eyes.
Ran Hanchuan walked out of the cave, the sunlight stung his eyes, and the oppressive feeling of the strong wind fell on his body again. He turned to look at the dark cave and said, "Sure enough, it's not, there's nothing in this cave." As he spoke, he looked at a round boulder not far from the cave, and said to Xiaoqing: "But this stone is too abrupt." ”
Xiao Qing nodded, and pointed to the cave again, Ran Hanchuan also nodded: "There must be some connection between the two, speaking of which, the size of this stone looks very consistent with the entrance of the cave." ”
Walking in, looking at the round boulder that was much higher than himself, Ran Hanchuan had some ideas, but found that he couldn't use it at all.
"Huh? The wind has changed? Ran Hanchuan, who was at a loss, suddenly noticed that the direction of the wind here had changed, and there was another stream, from the top of the cliff, sloping down, and then covering the boulders and caves in a straight line.
Discovering this phenomenon, Ran Hanchuan didn't think much about it, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he pushed down the boulder hard. Unexpectedly, this boulder, which looked more than 1,000 catties, rolled forward with Ran Hanchuan's push, accompanied by a loud "boom" sound, embedded in the entrance of the cave, and then, the entire cave was instantly covered by a white light, dazzling and unable to look directly.
After a while, as the white light dissipated, a narrow intersection was revealed where the cave was.
Ran Hanchuan immediately became excited, picked up Xiaoqing on the side and threw it into the sky, Xiaoqing was at a loss for a while, as if he was frightened by his move, and his four little paws were shaking in the air at the same time. When Ran Hanchuan took Xiaoqing into his arms, Xiaoqing bit his shoulder without hesitation, and Ran Hanchuan screamed in pain.
Just as Ran Hanchuan was congratulating at the result of his mistake, a burst of laughter also came at the same time.
Ran Hanchuan hugged Xiaoqing and looked at him, in front of him, there were five teenagers forming a group and coming towards him.
One of them said, "Hehe, it's really hard for you." ”
Ran Hanchuan frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Another teenager said, "Of course we thank you for finding our way out!" What else do you want? ”
Another teenager said, "Yes, you can go." ”
Seeing the frivolous words of these five people, Ran Hanchuan forcibly held back the anger in his heart and said, "This is the way I found, of course I have to go over, and it is not impossible for the five of you to come together." ”
A teenager's eyes widened and he sneered, "Are you a fool or a deaf?" I said you can go! Don't you know that Xuanyu Pavilion only accepts five disciples every five years? The five of us have already secured these five places! ”
"You!" Ran Hanchuan glared angrily, the intention of these five teenagers was obvious, they wanted to drive him out, but how could Ran Hanchuan take half a step back?
"Cut, you guy really don't know what to do, big guy, go up and beat him!" Among the five people, some people coaxed, and then changed into four echoes, and then five fists came towards Ran Hanchuan.
Ran Hanchuan was about to vent a wave of anger in his heart, looked at the five people who pounced, bent down and drew his sword, and slashed away with the sword sheath.
Five fists returned in pain, and all five teenagers fell to the ground at the same time. The sword in Ran Hanchuan's hand, although it was as light as nothing in his hand, but it really weighed hundreds of pounds, Ran Hanchuan suddenly became difficult, and he was caught off guard by beating five teenagers.
The five teenagers got up and looked at Ran Hanchuan one by one, showing a cruel smile on their faces, and one of them said: "This guy has two hits, guys, since he toasts and doesn't eat and drink, let's just beat him up." ”
The five of them nodded one after another, each took out their own side-worn blades, and without spending much, they attacked straight towards Ran Hanchuan.
The teenagers who came to participate in the trial were all conceited and had some means, and the skills of these five teenagers were not bad at all, even though Ran Hanchuan had five years of training, and he had a hundred catties of blades in his hands, but his two fists were invincible to ten hands, Ran Hanchuan's "Xingyun Swordsmanship" was broken as soon as the head was broken, the sword body bounced away, and a thick wooden stick then slapped in front of him, knocking him to the ground, and then, it was a punch and kick of the five people.
"This kid's sword looks good, yo, it's really heavy." A young man tried to pick up Ran Hanchuan's sword, but found that the sword was extremely heavy.
"This kid's bones are really hard." Another teenager who was still beating Ran Hanchuan said.
"Well, the sword is ours."
"Huh? There's also a puppy, which seems to be his pet, so let's catch it together. ”
Ran Hanchuan, who fell to the ground, was embarrassed and indignant, and even listened to the ridicule of the five people, and even wanted to snatch his sword and catch his Xiaoqing in front of him. The severe pain, as well as the anger in Ran Hanchuan's heart at this moment, the boundless hatred was endless, and he even had the urge to kill these five people when he fell to the ground.
"Ahh Ran Hanchuan, who was powerless, let out an angry roar, and then, he found that his consciousness began to blur.
Xiao Qing on the side burst out with a dazzling cyan light, looking at the posture, he was about to pounce. Suddenly, Xiaoqing's pair of small eyes showed an incredible look of humanity, and the blue light on his body gradually dissipated.
Outside the Howling Wind Valley, the old man sitting cross-legged under the lone pine suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the valley, and muttered to himself: "Why, I actually feel a killing intent? ”
In the Valley of the Howling Winds, the wind howled, and any sound was muffled by the sound of the wind. The old man hesitated for a long time before slowly closing his eyes.
And about two hundred meters above sea level in the Howling Wind Valley, on a rock protruding from the mountain wall, a sitting Xuanyu Pavilion disciple opened his closed eyes in shock.
"Impossible!"
