Chapter 10 The Shadow Follows

The rain, the rain of Fifi, which has been raining for probably ten days. In the dense mountain forest, large droplets of water leak from the flourishing canopy and seep into the soft soil along the verdant vine leaves.

Four or five samurai dressed in grass poured into the forest, the short-handled Pu knife in their hands flashing with cold light, and from time to time a few drops of rain dripped on the sharp edge of the Pu knife, making a light sound. Then, more than two dozen warriors poured into the forest, their eyes full of sparkle.

They searched around for a while, but found nothing, and one of them complained in a low voice: "The bullshit rain of the mother's ball, for more than ten days, has washed away all the traces of the mongrel." ”

"Don't say much." Another lower voice said, "I heard that person has entered the mountain, it's better to be careful...... mentioning "that person", and the voice of the voice couldn't help but tremble a little, hiding the fear that could not be concealed.

Who is "that person"? And who is the person who appears in the wilderness now?

A whistle suddenly sounded in the distance, like some kind of bird in Wuling Mountain. The group of warriors suddenly sneaked towards the place where the sound had originated, but there was not a sound in the slippery woodland. A samurai stayed on guard, took out a whistle from his bosom and put it in his mouth, and if something happened, the whistle would quickly let out a piercing scream.

The branches and leaves above their heads swayed, the mountain owls howled, their wings flapped, and water droplets fell. The samurai looked up as the drops of water blindfolded him, and behind the raindrops was a huge black shadow, murderous, whistling, silent, and at that moment his consciousness stopped. Before he could feel the murderous aura, his throat was cut by a flash of sharp knife light, gushing out bright red blood, which was diluted by the rain in a moment.

The black-clothed man who was hiding the samurai from the tree slowly turned around, half of his right ear drooping and missing, his face no longer had the fierce and fierce look he used to have, and there was a trace of tiredness in his eyes. I could only hear him muttering to himself in an inaudible voice: "Form, meaning, unconscious, I can now hide the killing machine behind the move, the realm of form and meaning, but unfortunately I can't show off to Chef Wei......" Suddenly, his face showed a look of extreme pain, his body bowed down, tired, his face was twisted hideously, and he was so red that he was suffocated, and for a long time, a light cough leaked from the corner of his mouth, which was very clear in the rainforest. He is the Wei Yan who entered the eastern mountains of Wuling to hunt the Liukou.

There was another light cough, and a puff of bright red blood spurted to the ground, and the blood clots that the rain could not wash away were especially dazzling in the dim forest. He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. There was a slight sound in the distance, like countless insects and ants crawling by, and Wei Yan knew that the master of the enemy heard his subtle cough and was gathering the crowd to rush here.

Wei Yan infiltrated Dongshan for nearly five months, and did not snipe the slave hunters like Ru Yu and Ming used to disturb, but attacked and killed the slave hunters sent by the slave hunters. A month ago, Wei Yan had set his sights on a slave hunter team that had just entered the mountain, and was hiding on its way, and when the first sentry passed by him, Wei Yan suddenly attacked. Unexpectedly, this sentry was only stronger than him, not weaker, and quickly stuck to his sword; Not far away, the slave hunters were rapidly approaching. Wei Yan saved that this was a trap specially designed for him by the Liukou of all roads. If the slave hunter team formed a siege, there was only one way to die, Wei Yan did not dare to entangle with this outpost, and reluctantly opened the attack of this outpost, and forcibly retreated, but the gap left behind was hit by that person, and the Taiyin lung meridian invaded with a wisp of yin cold pill breath.

In this slave hunting team, there were five masters of his strength, and they were attached to him. Wei Yan had no time to force the Yin Han Dan Xi out of the Taiyin Lung Sutra, and he didn't notice anything strange at first, but when he got rid of the deserters, he found that the Yin Han Dan Xi was stagnant in the lungs, stagnating the blood and qi running, and had formed extremely serious internal injuries.

Wei Yan specially attacked and killed the sentinels of the slave hunting team, which caused great inconvenience to the slave hunting team that entered the Dongshan activities, so the rogue from all walks of life gathered twelve third-grade masters to hide in the two slave hunting teams to lure Wei Yan to take the hook.

Wei Yan struggled to get close to the Yunquan and descended along the Yunxi, preparing to use the spring water to escape the enemy's pursuit for five days and five nights. Physically exhausted, he walked more than ten miles downstream and fell headlong in the stream, allowing the Yiren Orion to rescue him and treat him.

The Yi people in this area have all moved to the area of Cuishi Peak, and only a very small number of Yi people are hidden in extremely hidden places, not afraid of being found by the slave hunting team. These Orions are quite the eyes of the Baiyi clan who have stayed here, and no matter how critical the situation is, they will not withdraw easily.

Recently, the slave hunting team that has entered Dongshan has been extremely dense, and more than 3,000 people from all walks of life have gathered in the area of Yunxi alone. Yunxi directly reaches the outer edge of Cuishi Peak, and Yunquan, the source of Yunxi, is the starting point of the famous Wuling Mountain plank road. The Wuling Mountain Plank Road connects the major tributaries of the Qianjiang River, which originates from Wuling Mountain, bypasses the slope valley north of Cuishi Peak, and can also enter the Lishui Basin.

Wei Yan knew that Xu Ruyu would not relax his vigilance against Dongshan, and he was not worried that the anomaly here would be able to avoid the eyes of the Qingyan Army and the Green Lion Peak. After Wei Yan's injuries recovered slightly, he said goodbye to the Yiren Orion and sneaked into the mountains east of Yunxi.

It was a very successful sniping attempt, but unexpectedly, the lung injury suddenly broke out, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, alarming the slave hunters in the distance. Knowing that the injury was sudden and it was difficult to sneak away, Wei Yan shook the narrow-bladed saber in his hand and stared at the direction where the enemy was sneaking in. The endless flow of water on the blade indicated that it was an excellent quality blade, and Yu Yan injected a little Dan breath into the blade, and a clear light flashed in the dim forest.

After the lieutenant turned to the thick and thin body of the tree, the first person who approached did bend down to examine the dead man lying on the ground. The moment he bowed, a stream of sword light flowed out from behind the tree.

The man turned over and avoided it, even in order to get it. The dead body lying on the ground was split in half by Wei Yan's sharp knife, and the dead body had not been dead for long, and blood shot out.

Wei Yan saw that the other party could avoid his own killing blow and was not damaged at all, and knew that the other party was extremely hard, even if he recovered from his injuries, he might not be his opponent.

"You're the one who sniped my sentry so often?" Before the man could finish speaking, he drew his sword from its sheath, and the scabbard was like an arrow, and shot it at the door of the captain's face.

Wei Yan raised the knife grid to remove the scabbard, his arm shook faintly numb, and the scabbard was inserted into the trunk of the tree, and it was more than half a foot in. Wei Yan looked at it in amazement, and said, "Your cultivation is higher than mine, so why should you be a coward?" ”

The man smiled, suddenly bullied in front of Wei Yan, and launched a fierce attack, the sword light was like a match, and the drizzle turned into a light mist when it met the knife momentum, and after a while, the surrounding five steps were covered in a thick fog. It can be seen that the speed of the man's knife is staggering.

The man's tactical intent was extremely obvious, the rain was struck into a thick fog by the overflowing Dan Xi, and the vision of both sides was extremely weak, and the sharp and fast attack could make the opponent busy and chaotic and kill him. He had already expected that Wei Yan was at the end of his strong crossbow and had no ability to fight with him quickly, so he wanted to lose Wei Yan before his accomplices arrived, and monopolize it.

The Starry Sky Fragrance Sword is the best move to defend against fast attacks, and Xu Ruyu can use Knowledge to restrain the enemy's fast attacks with Knowledge before he comprehends the Starry Sky Fragrance Sword. Although Wei Yan had never practiced the Water Stopping Heart Sutra, the Starry Sky Fragrance Sword also dissolved part of the essence of the Water Stopping Heart Sutra, making people's senses extremely sharp. Wei Yan leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, and every time he slashed from an unexpected angle, blocking the opponent's attack.

After a while, he found that the other party was also suffering from a lot of injuries, and after Wei Yan sealed back the opponent with more than 200 knives, the opponent's fierce offensive weakened. Wei Yan remembered the man who had just gathered under the tree to discuss. Could it be that the gentleman was sent into the East Mountain?

Thinking like this, Wei Yan provoked Dan Xi to inject into the blade, replaced the sword with a knife, and struck left and right to swing away the opponent's knife momentum, and Dan Jin took off the knife and hit the opponent's chest.

The Starry Sky Fragrance Sword is heavy and light, and the only fixed move of the Starry Sky Fragrance Sword is the "Piercing Willow Style", which splits the left and right strikes to open the enemy's momentum, and the Dan Jin accumulated in the blade raids the enemy's space.

When Xu Ruyu first created this style, it was his extremely tenacious vein that was not afraid of Dan Jin's return, and later improved the Dan breath control method several times, so that normal martial arts practitioners could also use it, but there was no blessing effect when Xu Ruyu personally performed it.

The man didn't expect Wei Yan to highlight this move, and he was frustrated for a moment. Wei Yan is now at the end of the strong crossbow, Dan Jin is pure and weak, like a giant fist hitting his chest to the acupoint, but he failed to break the acupoint veins and seriously injured him.

Seeing that the other party retreated slightly, a look of pain flashed on his face and returned to nature, knowing that this move only affected his previous injuries and failed to hit him hard, he secretly felt a pity.

Wei Yan felt that six more people had sneaked closer, and more than twenty people had passed through the forest to drive the subtle sound of leaves, and he knew that it would be difficult to survive today. He slowly lowered the knife, pointed obliquely at the ground, tilted his head slightly, looked at the rain trails in front of him, sighed slightly, and seemed to no longer pay attention to the opponent in front of him.

There was a short, soft "poof" sound, and the arrow pierced through the damp forest.

Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he looked into the depths of the dense forest, and the man was also shocked, and the sound of "puff puff" group of arrows shuttling came. At this moment, the six people who had sneaked close suddenly launched an attack on the man.

The familiar narrow long blade pulled up six beams of brilliant sword light to drown the man. The sound of "bang, bang, bang" knives filled his ears. A puddle of blood erupted, and then six long blades sank into the man's body.

"Breeze Stream, why are you? Mingxi is also here? Wei Yan sat down in the wetland, his face showing joy.

A young man in black casually pulled back the saber from the corpse that slowly fell to the ground, and without wiping the bloodstains, he put the knife back into the sheath, turned back to Wei Yan and showed his white and shiny teeth, and said, "Didn't I hear that you appeared in this area?" Then he lowered his voice and said: "Ming Xi let Mr. withdraw, obediently stayed in the village, and Mr. came in person." ”

"Ah......h

"Ah what? The gentleman said that if you did not want to see him, he would come to see you in person. The sound over there has also been extinguished, and it seems that they have completed their task in the wind forest. ”

"How did you find here?"

"You also said that you have been suffocating people for half a month. In order to find you, Mr. let us divide into six groups, each group of stealth tracking a team of slave hunters, count your fate, this team of slave hunters is tracked by me and the wind forest, so I found you. Suddenly, a whistle sounded, and he said softly, "Are you okay?" The main team of this slave hunter team is heading here, and the wind forest tells us to evacuate. ”

Wei Yan put the knife back into the sheath and stood up with the sheath on the ground. Qingliu looked at his crumbling appearance and said, "I'll carry you." ”

Wei Yan pushed him away, "Who let you carry it?" ”

Smile lightly: "Sir has removed you from the position of commander of the camp of the guard, you have to listen to me now." After speaking, he wrenched Wei Yan's hands, carried him behind his back indiscriminately, and quickly sank into the barren forest.

After the confluence of the light stream and the wind forest, the group of twenty-five people continued to march deep into the East Mountain. Escaping the slave hunters in the mountains, one day and one night, they came to a small mountain pass. When Wei Yan and the twenty-five people appeared in the mountain pass, a black-clothed warrior sneaked out of nowhere and led them into the valley.

Wei Yan knew that Xu Ruyu was in the middle of the mountain col, and couldn't help but hesitate. Wei Yan has learned from Qingliukou that when Xu Ruyu led the Qingjiang cavalry camp to sneak into Dongshan, he clashed with the slave hunting team and leaked his whereabouts, and now between Yunquan and Cuishi Peak, a large number of rogues have gathered, and the Qingjiang cavalry camp cannot return to the Lishui River Valley along the Wuling Mountain plank road, so they have to advance to the depth of Dongshan, preparing to return to Xuancheng by Yueqing or Fuzhou.

Walk into the col only to find that under the cover of the heavy leaf dense forest, there was a narrow gorge originally, walk along the narrow gorge for four or five miles, the eyes suddenly opened up, not far away is actually a cliff, outside the cliff is the open plain, the low hills are dotted, the ruins are everywhere, the broken wall is hidden between the thick green and heavy green. The clear stream is like a belt that is wound, and the sparkling water is reflected. Ah, under this mountain is the deserted city of Fuzhou.

Xu Ruyu was standing on the top of the cliff, looking down the mountain. On the right side stood a young female general with a bright armor and red scarf, Wei Yan thought to himself: She is Ziyang Yalan, is she the girl who dragged her nose twelve years ago?

Ziyang Yalan turned her head vigilantly and looked at Wei Yan and smiled lightly. Wei Yan panicked for no reason, avoiding her gaze.

Xu Ruyu turned around and said softly, "Are you okay?" They miss you very much. ”

"Sir......" The following words were in his throat, and before he could say it, tears had welled up. His body was shaky, and he held it up until now, finally unable to control the onset of his injuries.

Xu Ruyu held his body before he fell to the ground, only to find that the damage to his lungs was too serious, and he was busy passing the pure Dan breath to nourish the meridians of his lungs. Seeing that the blue and black between Wei Yan's eyebrows did not disperse, and the original sturdy physique was now skinny, Xu Ruyu sighed slightly and said, "In the past few months, I have been suffering from him. ”

Ziyang Yalan saw Xu Ruyu with such a look for the first time, and knew that it was his true feelings, so she stood aside and was silent.

Qingliu, Fenglin and the others who were standing on the side all showed anxious expressions on their faces, but they didn't dare to make a sound to interfere with Xu Ruyu's luck and Shi Zhiwei.

Xu Ruyu saw the anxious look on their faces, knew that they were concerned in their hearts, and said: "Internal injuries are easy to treat, but the root of the disease that falls from the lungs has to be treated by a famous doctor." ”

Xu Ruyu never said the truth, the injury suffered by Wei Yan Taiyin Lung Jing was not a huge injury, but he had no time to take care of it, so he developed an irrevocable root of the disease.

After six days in the mountain gorge, Wei Yan basically recovered. The soldiers of the Qingjiang cavalry battalion scattered all over Dongshan also came here one after another to converge.

Among the people who entered the Yanwutang practice in the Qingjiang Cavalry Battalion, 12 people, including Qingliu, Fenglin, Xingshan, Yueyan, Guan Yue, Burning Ming, Geng Long, Jiehai, Yuan Yuan, Shu Kan, Weiyan, and Mo Zhen, stood out and became the backbone of the Qingjiang Cavalry Battalion. The cultivation of Qingliu, Fenglin and others is no worse than when Wei Yan was captured in Yongyang.

The two of them are responsible for a group of people to infiltrate all parts of Dongshan, search for Wei Yan's whereabouts, and find out the truth of the rogues from all walks of life in Dongshan.

Cuishi Peak sent Ziyang Yalan to lead a sentry to follow Xu Ruyu into Dongshan for activities. The one hundred and twenty-five men and horses led by Ziyang Yalan were the first to participate in the anti-hunting operation. Of the 300 people who were carefully selected at that time, there are now only more than 100 people, and there are heavy casualties, but it is the elite of the elite who can survive.

Wei Yan has been grinding in the mountains for a long time, especially he has been using attack and killing tactics to harass the enemy, and when he has changed greatly, now his strength has recovered, and he is still seriously ill, and he has become calm and cautious.

In the past, he was transferred to the commander of the camp and had a total of 500 people under his command, and if necessary, Xu Ruyu could immediately make the camp full of 1,500 to 2,000 people. The Qingjiang Water Battalion Escort Army under the command of Wei Yu has an establishment of 1,000 people, and in addition to sailors and boat divisions, the Qingjiang Water Battalion also has 1,000 sailors. Liang Bao commanded the teaching cavalry battalion, and its purpose was to train qualified military personnel, and the number of personnel was secondary, not to mention that in wartime, the trainees who had no military positions in the Yanwutang could be uniformly incorporated into the teaching cavalry battalion.

The establishment of the Qingjiang cavalry battalion is now only one hundred and fifty people, but Wei Yan knows that these one hundred and fifty people are the strength of the Qingyan Army, just like the status of the Changge 49 cavalry in Qingzhou ghost cavalry.

After seeing the performance of light streams and wind forests, Wei Yan is even more convinced that Xu Ruyu will train the Qingjiang Cavalry Battalion into a rare sharp division in the world, but who will be the commander of the Qingjiang Cavalry Battalion?

Ziyang Yalan pointed to the topographic map of Wuling Mountain and said: "The thickness between Yunquan and Cuishi Peak is less than 30 miles, and there are more than 3,000 rogues from all walks of life, what are they going to do?" With the help of General Qingfeng, the Cuishi Peak had sufficient food and grass, the 8,000 soldiers were well-equipped, and the field assault capability was restored to a certain extent. We are able to withstand the invasion of 30,000 elite troops. ”

"It has been confirmed that a large number of people and horses from Puji Island have mixed into the mountains, and without capturing Cuishi Peak, Gongliang Youqin will not be able to penetrate directly into Fuzhou beyond Yueqingyi. Gongliang Youqin must gain a foothold in Fuzhou before the Yuejun family reacts, which requires a large number of troops and materials to enter Fuzhou through the Wuling Mountain Plank Road and Yunxi. Miss Ziyang, in addition to the plank road of Wuling Mountain, is there any other mountain road connecting incense with Yunxi, especially in the most dense area of the slave hunters? ”
