Chapter 16: Separation
Wen Shu, Xiao Qian, Palace Master, and Wang Jingzhi stumbled in the smoke. The area covered by the fire was occasionally smashed by burned wooden sticks.
The sky was covered with a thick layer of smoke, tongues of fire rushed into the sky, and the sound of scorched trees tormented people's ears.
Suddenly, the palace master stepped on a wooden branch that had been burned for a long time, the branch shattered, and the palace master fell directly. Wen Shu and Xiao Qian went to help her, this place couldn't stay any longer.
I don't want Xiao Qian to know what to step on, and the center of gravity of his body is unstable.
Next to it was a steep slope, and Xiao Qian and the palace master rolled down. Wen Shu reached out to grab it, but it was empty, and then she stumbled and was about to go down with them.
"Be careful!"
At this time, Wang Jingzhi grabbed Wen Shu, and he caught it, but it was a little late. Then the two rolled down the steep slope together.
The sky seemed to be smoky with the smoke, and it rained heavily.
The rain in the spring was cool, and it was right in the heat of the day.
After the rain, the sky was clear, and it was the second day.
The steep slope was very long and dangerous, and all four of them fainted after falling. The rain poured down, and it fell on them, and dried their clothes from the fire.
They were separated from the others.
Wang Jingzhi woke up first, he frowned, enduring the discomfort on his body. After that, it was Xiao Qian who woke up, and then Wen Shu and the palace master.
The clothes of the four were soaked, and the abrasions from rolling down the steep slope made them all feel very uncomfortable.
Wen Shu saw the packet of medicine on the ground and hurriedly picked it up, but to no avail. This is an external medicine, which was originally meant to be applied to the hands, but it probably fell out when it rolled down, and now it has been washed away by heavy rain and has melted.
Wang Jingzhi saw that she was so eager, so he asked, "Is this ...... In a hurry? ”
"There's no hurry." Wen Shu said lightly.
"Oh."
"What now? This slope is so steep, should we climb it? The palace master asked.
"The slope is too long, I should be able to go up, but you may be exhausted." Wang Jing looked up, but there was no end in sight.
"What then?" The palace master almost cried, it was the first time she came out to hunt spirits, and this kind of thing happened.
"I didn't cry when I was so big yesterday, but now I'm going to cry." Wang Jingzhi smiled.
"Yesterday was so dangerous, how can I still care about crying, and I can't escape for my life." The palace master said with a bitter face.
"Now, walk through this forest." There was a forest on the opposite side of the steep slope, and Xiao Qian kept looking around on the side before speaking.
"The sun is just right, dry your clothes first." Wang Yuanzhi replied.
"What?" The palace master exclaimed.
"It's raining all night, and now my clothes are wet again, and if I continue to wear them, I'll get sick easily, and there's no medicine here." After Wang Jingzhi finished speaking, he turned his body around, put his hands behind his back, and continued: "I turn around, you take off your clothes and dry them, and after that, we will walk from this forest, although it is dangerous, but it is much better than waiting for someone to come to the rescue."
"Take off your clothes." Wen Shu also thought of this, and when she saw Wang Jingzhi turning around, she didn't hesitate.
"It is said that Wang Jing, the young sect master of the Southern Sect, knows the gentleman, and I believe you today." The palace master said to Wang Jingzhi.
Wang Jingzhi replied politely: "Thank you for the palace master's trust." ”
Then the three of them took off their coats, and Wen Shu suddenly thought that when she took off her coats, her jade flute would be exposed.
She turned her back and tucked the jade flute into her sleeve, trying not to bend her arm so as not to be discovered. In the eyes of others, she has never played the flute, and she doesn't even understand the rhythm, and now if she takes out the flute, she can't explain it at all, not to mention that this flute is of excellent quality, but it is not something that she can take out as a maid.
"Ahem." Wang Jingzhi coughed lightly.
Her clothes were also wet.
The three of them looked for branches on the side, formed a shelf, and put on their coats.
"You can turn it around, we have set up a shelf, we have clothes on it, you can do it, you can take off your wet clothes, too." The palace master knew about Wang Jing.
Then, Wang Jingzhi turned around and took off his wet clothes.
The spring sun is not violent, and it does not dry out for about three hours. The four of them put on their clothes and prepared to enter the forest.
It's just that when they fell, their swords fell, and now they have no weapons, so they can only rely on spiritual power when they encounter any danger.
The supernatural forest is very vast, Wang Jingzhi doesn't know this forest, but after walking for a while, he is more and more familiar.
"This forest seems to be the place where Huo Yi and I were separated, if that's the case, we should be able to get out soon." Wang Jingzhi recalled carefully.
"Really?" The palace master knew that he could go out and was full of anticipation.
"Then why didn't you just say it." Wen Shu questioned.
"I really didn't know it when I was down the steep slope just now, but now that I've walked a little bit like that, I feel a little familiar." Then, Wang Jingzhi pointed to a tree and said, "Look, there are traces of our confrontation with the Xuan Lie Tiger. ”
Xiao Qian stepped forward to observe, and it was indeed the case.
"Then will we meet the Xuan Lie Tiger?" The palace master said worriedly.
"Be careful." Wang Jingzhi said.
Seeing Wang Jingzhi's serious expression, Wen Shu and Xiao Qian immediately warned the surroundings.
Phantom Snake.
"You go first, I'll lead it away." Wang Jingzhi said.
"Can you do it alone?" Not only is the palace master so suspicious, but so are Xiao Qian and Wen Shu. Even if more than a dozen people hunt spirits together, they may not be able to succeed, let alone him.
Before he could answer, the Phantom Snake was already approaching. Phantom snake can make people hallucinate, some people will even die in hallucinations, and its snake liquid is poisonous, after people are poisoned, if not treated in time, they will also be poisoned and die.
Wang Jingzhi stepped forward to entangle, trying to lure it away.
The phantom snake snake body flicked, and Wang Jingzhi dodged lightly. However, this snake is too flexible, and Wang Jingzhi is not invincible at all.
There were also people who fought against the Phantom Snake before, but it was a dozen monks together, and most of them were killed and injured in the end. If you are entangled in the phantom snake, you will definitely die.
"I'll help him." Xiao Qian said that he would help with thousands of helps. The original intention was to lead away, but the front and back were passive everywhere.
Wen Shu wanted to help, but her cultivation was too shallow. The palace master was also worried and wanted to step forward, but Wen Shu stopped her: "Palace master, you can't go, it's dangerous there." ”
"But they can't beat it."
As he spoke, the palace master immediately blocked in front of Wen Shu. The phantom snake flicked its tail at some point. The palace master was whipped by the snake's tail, and the clothes on his back were torn.
There was a Yin x on the whip marks. Wen Shu's tears welled up directly.
"Palace Master!"
Her palace master is a little rude, her palace master is a little childlike, her palace master is a little stupid, but her palace master is very simple and kind.
"Take the palace master first!" Wang Jingzhi shouted.
Wen Shu helped the palace master to find that the palace master didn't know when he had been phantomed by the phantom snake, and now he was in a daze.
"You go too, I'll lead it away!" Wang Jingzhi said to Xiaoqian.
"Can you?"
"No, you have to! Come on! The last one almost roared.
Xiao Qian had no choice but to retreat, and then helped the palace master to leave with Wen Shu.
