Chapter 13 Waiting (Guaranteed 15th Update, 7th Update)
At noon, the sun was blazing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The golden sunlight had long since washed away the gloomy atmosphere of last night among the trees.
The vast woods have returned to their former verdant color, and they are full of life.
But the only thing that remains unchanged is the rushing river, which is still so wild.
And the sound of the waves crashing on the shore is still so loud.
"Senior brother, was it here that you lost the trace of the man in black last night?" asked Mu Yiyi.
Her eyes were fixed on the rapids, as if she was shifting her perspective, trying to put herself in the shoes of the man in black.
Shi Wuwei specially brought his junior sister to search for it today. He knew that this junior sister of his was very clever and had a lot of ideas, so he hoped that she could find some clues.
At this time, it was noon, and Shi Wuwei took more than 20 people to search for nearly an hour in the woods behind, leaving only more than 20 people from Hanyang Temple to take care of them on the top of the mountain.
"Yes, yes. It was only after we had followed the river that we lost track of the man." He looked at the river and replied.
He didn't stop, but continued, "I suppose the man must have fled east, but at the eastern end of the river is a waterfall, and this waterfall is extremely high. So the senior brother doesn't know how the man escaped." Shi Wuwei just pointed to the east, and Mu Yiyi's gaze was also directed to the east.
After looking at the east side, Mu Yiyi looked around again. She thought for a moment before she said, "It should be to the east, yes." At the end of this west face is a bare cliff face, and the man should not be able to use his strength to climb up. The south side is the direction from which the senior brother chased last night, and the north side needs to fly over the river. However, since the senior brother believed that the man in black had suddenly disappeared, that man must have fled eastward. Otherwise, the red figure would never have suddenly disappeared for no reason. So, brother, let's go to the other side of the waterfall and have a look."
Shi Wuwei also felt very reasonable about his sister's analysis, in fact, he thought so yesterday.
So, he took his sister and walked east. And the more than 20 disciples of the Dao Sect who he took down the mountain were still looking for this clue in the woods.
"Huh? Brother, look". Standing on a rock at the end of the river, Kiyi poked his head out and looked down at the waterfall.
It's just that she should have seen something, so she stretched out her hand and pointed down, and said to Shi Wuwei, "Senior brother, there's a protruding rock there."
Shi Wuwei got on the rock when he heard the sound, and looked down along his junior sister's fingertips.
Sure enough, not far below the two of them, there was a flat ground formed by a protruding rock.
And this flat land happened not to be covered by the water of the fall, so it was preserved.
However, this flat land is not spacious, and if there are two people standing on it, I am afraid that it will be enough to choke.
Therefore, Shi Wuwei said loudly, "One by one, senior brother go down and take a look."
"Yes. Senior brother beware".
Hearing the sound of a gust of wind blowing clothes, Shi Wuwei landed on the flat ground.
And not far from his left hand side was the falling river.
Although he was standing some distance from the waterfall, the left sleeve of his coat was still wet by the splashing water.
"This man... How did you escape?" Shi Wuwei calculated in his heart.
He saw how far he was from below.
He actually knew very well in his heart that even if he fell down from here, he was afraid that he would still be injured by the force of the fall.
Even if Su Wushi used such a mysterious method of light power unloading with Tiyun, he could not guarantee a safe fall.
Mu Yiyi saw that his senior brother was hesitating and in a daze below for a long time, and he didn't move, and he was also puzzled. So he shouted loudly, "Senior brother, senior brother".
It's just that the sound of the river falling is huge, and it has already overshadowed Mu Yiyi's voice, so that Shi Wuwei, who was below, didn't hear the call of his junior sister.
He just continued to scan around.
With a rock behind him and mud on his right hand, he couldn't figure out what to do.
At this moment, a small pebble suddenly fell from Shi Wuwei's eyes to the bottom of the waterfall. Shi Wuwei raised his head and looked at his junior sister.
And when he found that his junior sister was opening her mouth on the rock, he smiled, and then jumped up directly and returned to Mu Yiyi's side.
"Senior sister, the sound of this water is too loud. That's why I haven't been able to hear your cry yet."
"Senior brother, are there any clues below?"
"Yes, Uncle Shi, what clues are there below?"
All the Dao Sect disciples who were searching for Fang Cai also gathered near this rock at this moment, asking about the situation under this Shi Wuwei.
After Shi Wuwei paused, he said, "No, it's still too high below."
After Shi Wuwei finished speaking, he stopped talking. His brow furrowed slightly, and he remembered the worst outcome again.
Seeing that they and this senior uncle had been searching for more than an hour, but they still hadn't found any clues, they all bowed their heads and were silent, depressed.
"So be it. We'd better go back first and then make plans. Since we have searched for this and still haven't found any clues, we can only go back and think of other ways." Shi Wuwei saw that these young disciples were a little discouraged, so he had no choice but to speak up.
In fact, he already had a plan in mind, but this plan could not be implemented until after nightfall.
……..
At the same time, the Hanyang Temple in the Hanyang Peak of Lushan Mountain.
The little monk in a khaki monk's robe was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, and his hands were clapping on Su Wushi's back, healing his wounds.
Strands of the most rigid true qi entered the body. Su Wushi only felt that the chest in his body was much smoother.
Yesterday's slap from the man in black did not seriously injure him, but it hurt his lungs and made it difficult for him to breathe.
"It is said that the Yijin Sutra of Buddhism is a supreme exercise, and it really deserves its name when I see it today." Su Wushi thought in his heart.
In the room, there was a person sitting next to the wooden bed. Zhou Ruonan wore a dark green dress today.
She was sitting at the wooden table in the room, looking at the two men on the bed.
At this time, she didn't sigh at the peerless exercises of this Buddhist sect, she just looked at Su Wushi lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
….
Time rushed into the night.
Once again, the darkness of night fell on the top of the mountain.
And this thick black intent once again cast a shadow on the hearts of all Dao disciples.
They were still wondering if the man in black would come back tonight, and if another of their senior brothers would be captured and drained of their essence and blood internal force.
Night.
Shi Wuwei was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, thinking about some matters.
He had already put forward the theory of vigil earlier, to relieve the concerns of the disciples of the Taoist Sect.
Not only that, but somewhere deep in his heart, he was even looking forward to the arrival of the man in black.
