25, nine deaths and one life
"Huh? This ......" Ning Zhen didn't expect that Fragrance would give him such a valuable thing, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I can't accept such a valuable thing!" ā
"Why is Senior Brother Ning Zhen so polite. It's already hard to share the difficulties, can't we share the blessings? Lu Fenfang held the shadow wood leaf, and her eyes were sincere.
Ning Zhen couldn't bear to brush Lu Xiangfang's kindness, and this shadow wood leaf could indeed save his life at a critical moment, he wanted to accept it in his heart. But when I remembered that I conspired with Cheng Ling to kill her last night, I was guilty and scared, and I couldn't make a decision.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to ask Senior Brother Ning Zhen." Lu Fenfang took out a shadow wood leaf from her sleeve again, and stuffed it into Ning Zhen's hand, "I have already given this leaf to Uncle Xiao and Sister Tiaohua, I want to give it to Senior Sister Chengling, but I had a deep misunderstanding with her before, I am afraid that she will not accept it, and I will have to bother Senior Brother to transfer it on my behalf, if I don't say that I sent it, Senior Sister Chengling should accept it." ā
Lu Fenfang repaid her grievances with virtue like this, Ning Zhen was greatly moved, carefully put away the two leaves, and solemnly said: "Thank you Sister Lu, I will definitely live up to my trust." It's just that if you don't tell Senior Sister Chengling that this treasure is a gift from you, how can the relationship between you be eased? ā
Lu Fenfang said with a smile: "The relationship is not something that can be solved overnight with a leaf, as long as I am good to Senior Sister Chengling as always, she will naturally understand my intentions." ā
Ning Zhen is simple-minded, and usually only knows how to listen to the words of the master and the senior brothers and sisters, and rarely decides things independently. Now that he heard Lu Fenfang say this, his heart was hot, so he left Cheng Ling's words last night behind, and made up his mind to persuade Cheng Ling to stop embarrassing Lu Fenfang.
The two said a few more inconsequential words, and Wu, Yuan, and Cheng all returned. Several people exchanged opinions, and it seemed that climbing the cliff was the only way out. This cliff is slippery without leaving hands, only ten zhang high there is a path wide of the sole of the foot, if people move slowly with their backs against the cliff, they can pass through.
All four of them know how to resist swords, so naturally they are not afraid of heights. Wu Yingshao also instructed everyone to hold the Ugin dagger and rope in their sleeves, and if they accidentally stepped on the air, they would insert the dagger into the cliff, and then throw the rope around their waists for others to pull up.
In fact, this protective measure is just for a peace of mind, if someone really accidentally falls, it is to use a dagger to insert into the rock wall in an instant to temporarily hover, and the person who stays on the narrow road will lose his balance and fall down even if his body is slightly tilted, how can there be room to grab the rope and then struggle to pull him up?
Therefore, the five of them must not relax in the slightest on this long and narrow road, and no one can stumble and fall. A few of them walked along the mountain road to the narrow road, Wu Yingshao naturally went up first, Tiaohua second, Chengling tied the rope around his waist, and suddenly said: "Ning Zhen, let my sister walk between you and me, let's two protect her." ā
Cheng Ling really wanted to see the needles hurt her, this narrow road only allowed one person's back to stick to the rock wall and pass on his side, and if Cheng Ling and Ning Zhen really did anything later, Wu Yingshao couldn't see it at all.
Tiaohua said: "Sister Lu's strength is small, if it really falls, this Ugin dagger will not be useful." As she spoke, she tied the other end of the rope around her waist tightly to Fragrance's waist. Lu Fenfang exclaimed: "Sister Tiaohua, what are you doing?" ā
Tiao Hua Nuan smiled: "Don't worry, the two of us are tied together, if you accidentally stumble, I will hold you; If I stumble, don't worry about me, just cut the rope with a dagger, and it won't fall with you. ā
"No, no, no!" Lu Fenfang hurriedly untied the rope, her hands trembled, and she couldn't untie it. Her heart is really messed up, and she wants to kill her all of a sudden, and she wants to live and die with her all of a sudden, which really makes her incomprehensible.
"Okay, don't solve it, let's go."
So the five of them set out. Wu Yingshao was at the front, Tiaohua was in second place, Lu Fenfang was third, Cheng Ling was fourth, and Ning Zhen was at the end. Tiaohua tied herself to Fragrance, and Cheng Ling couldn't push her if she wanted to, so she could only stare dryly.
They had walked about ten meters, and Lu Xiangxiang's back was already soaked, and there was no saliva in his throat. She thought she was not afraid of heights, but walking on the cliff without protection, she would fall into the abyss as soon as her back was loosened, who could not be afraid?
Lu Fenfang didn't dare to look at her feet at all, she only stared at the ears of Tiaohua in front of her, her mind was blank, and she only felt that this mile of walking was more torturous than 108,000 miles. The five men were silent, and no one spoke, but they were as light as ants walking in a row in the cracks of the rocks, and the valley was only the sound of the water, the wind, and the song of birds.
Birdsong? Lu Fenfang's heart tightened, and Wu Yingshao in front of him really ordered: "The whole team stops moving forward!" ā
Everyone didn't say a word, and they clung to the rock wall to stop their steps. In the distance, there seemed to be a bird shadow flying in their direction, what if it pounced on them?
The bird circled over the swamp for a while, but it flew towards them, and it was a vulture! This bird has excellent eyesight, but at a distance of twenty meters, you can definitely see them on the cliff wall. Lu Fenfang only prayed in her heart that the vulture would not fly over, but she saw it flying closer and closer!
"Uncle Junior, let's strike first and shoot down this vulture with a dagger!" čåęyƬé.
Wu Yingshao said calmly: "No. Most of the vultures come for the young birds to feed, and the nest must not be far from here. If we shoot it down, the bird's wail will attract his mate and more vultures, and we'll be in an even more difficult situation. ā
"What then? Watching it fly by? Tiaohua's heart was pounding, and she couldn't even hear her own voice.
Wu Yingshao said: "That vulture lives on carrion, it may not hurt a few of us, let's not take the initiative to attack first, wait and see." ā
So a few people fell silent again. The vulture circled a few more times, and seemed not interested in them, and spread its wings as if it were about to fly away.
Everyone exhaled in their hearts, it was really thrilling. If you can't use immortal arts, it's really tied, if you usually have a sword in your hand, how can you be afraid of this flat-haired beast?
"Alright, let's move forward." Wu Yingshao commanded softly. Just when Lu Fenfang was about to move her steps, she heard a "knock" under her feet, and then a soft cry of "ah". Lu Fenfang turned her head to look, and it turned out that Cheng Ling had accidentally kicked a stone at her feet.
The stone blocked the narrow road, and the three people of Wu, Yuan, and Lu were afraid that they would make a noise and startle the birds, so they all raised their feet and stepped over. Cheng Ling was so frightened that he was about to cry along the way, the soles of his feet were moved a little bit against the stone ridge, his feet were stiff and numb, where could he lift them? She also knew that she couldn't make a sound, so she barely lifted her foot, but her toes trembled, and she kicked the stone down just right.
Sure enough, the vulture heard it. The vulture circled and stabbed back, afraid that the sound just now was an attack!
The vulture judged that the voice was extremely accurate, so it naturally flew towards Cheng Ling, its wings spread out like an umbrella cover to envelop Cheng Ling's head, and its hard and sharp beak pecked at her head. Tiaohua shouted: "It's terrible, Ning Zhen, quickly beat this beast!" ā
If the vulture pecks like this again, Cheng Ling will suffer from pain, and he will fall down as soon as he struggles. Ning Zhen was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, he held the Ugin dagger in his hand, but he couldn't stab it. What if the beast was wounded and pounced on it?
Ning Zhen was so frightened that he was stunned. Tiaohua was so anxious that he shouted: "Ning Zhen still doesn't do it!" What are you waiting for? ā
At this time, if Tiaohua picked up the rosary in her hand and threw the vulture, she could also save Chengling's life, but the position of the middle road Fenfang was at a corner, blocking Tiaohua, and she couldn't throw it if she wanted to.
Lu Fenfang watched coldly as Cheng Ling was pecked by the vulture, but she didn't dare to struggle, thinking that if she continued to peck like this, she would always have a time when she couldn't help it and wanted to struggle. If she missed, Ning Zhen would already be stupid, and Wu Yingshao and Tiaohua Whip couldn't save her, so she would die here cleanly, and she could no longer pose a threat to Lu Fenfang.
Lu Fenfang laughed, Cheng Ling's death method chosen for Lu Fenfang should have been on herself, which made the Tianli cycle retribution unhappy. She only felt happy in her heart, and then blamed herself again: Lu Fenfang, Lu Fenfang, others don't save you when they see death, and you treat them the same way, so what is the difference between you and a despicable villain like her?
Lu Fenfang thought to herself, she has to fight to the death with Cheng Ling, and she has to wait for him to come to a duel after he finishes his studies, what is it to take advantage of the danger of others?
Thinking of this, Lu Fenfang looked at the tragic situation of Cheng Ling being bitten by a vulture, and most of her previous anger had disappeared. She made up her mind, slipped the Ugin dagger out of her sleeve, and struck it at the vulture's head.
The vulture was indeed hit, and with a miserable cry, its wings weakened, and it fell down. Cheng Ling's clothes were hooked by the vulture's claws, and his body slanted, and he looked like he was about to fall!
Lu Fenfang even held Cheng Ling's hand, and between the lightning and flint, Tiaohua quickly grabbed Lu Fenfang's other hand. Wu Yingshao grabbed Tiaohua with one hand, and with the other hand, he had already pulled out the Hongyan Sword!
"Hold my hand!" Lu Fenfang and Tiaohua shouted at the same time. As Cheng Ling fell, Fragrance and Tiaohua stumbled in turn, and several people hung up in a long line, swinging down with Wu Yingshao as the axis like a swing. Wu Yingshao stabbed the long sword into the rock wall, but the sword was not steady, and the blade grazed the crack in the stone and led the four of them to fall rapidly, and then slid down about ten meters high before finally hanging temporarily.
"Are you all right?" Wu Yingshao rushed down and shouted. Lu Fenfang looked down at Cheng Ling, her eyes were full of tears, her sleeves and placket were torn by vultures, her hair was messy like a bird's nest, and her face and neck were full of blood, but they were all flesh wounds, and there was nothing serious. She shouted back, "I'm fine! Senior Sister Chengling is fine! ā
Wu Yingshao breathed a sigh of relief, but Tiaohua said: "We can't hang like this for long, can we go back to the original way?" ā
"There's no going back, this rock wall is so smooth that there's no room to hold on to it." Wu Yingshao said, "There are a lot of caves here, do you want to see if there are caves or anything like that below?" ā
Lu Fenfang saw that it was dark and faint under Cheng Ling's feet, and it seemed to be a hole, so she asked, "Senior Sister Cheng Ling, there seems to be a hole under your feet, can you reach it?" ā
Cheng Ling came back to his senses a little, and quickly looked down: "There is a hole, but there is still a distance, and I can't reach it with my feet." ā
"Then you hold my leg and slide it slowly!"
Cheng Ling nodded, hugging Lu Fenfang's waist with both hands. Lu Fenfang let go of the rope on her waist with one hand, let Cheng Ling hold it, and then swing into the hole.
