Chapter 10: The Black Mist Forest
Seeing the two of them leaving, Liu Jinnan looked back at Liu Chengzhi and said, "Zhi'er, since you have opened the martial arts, my father will teach you exercises and martial arts from today on!"
Liu Chengzhi smiled and said, "Father, I see that you are busy with official business, so forget it." I've recently acquired a wonderful martial art, and I'm in the process of enlightening myself!"
Liu Jinnan knew that this second son was quite assertive and strategic, so just think about it.
But he took out his personal sword and said, "Zhi'er, this sword is called Blood Dew, I have fought for my father for many years, and I rely on this sword to protect my body, I will give it to you today! I hope it can bring you good luck!"
Liu Chengzhi glanced at his father gratefully, and then reached out to take it.
Who knows, as soon as his hand touches the sword, he has a familiar feeling, as if he and the sword have not been seen for a long time, and now they have become one, although he has not practiced any swordsmanship, but he only feels that the sword is a part of his body, and he wants him to do any movement, including bending and moving, he can do whatever he wants.
"The sword walks at will?" At this time, Liu Jinnan walked out of the door and couldn't help but marvel when he saw Liu Chengzhi's sword dancing.
"It is worthy of being the owner of the sword-shaped entity martial marks, as soon as you get the sword, it is better than the ten years of hard cultivation of others!" Liu Jinnan sighed secretly.
After Liu Chengzhi finished practicing the sword, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside, and it turned out to be the ninth princess Shangguan Ruyun who came: "Brother Chen, are you there?"
When Shangguan Ruyun saw Liu Chengzhi in the courtyard, he smiled happily: "Brother Zhi, I know that you have been in good health these days! I have been holding back for several days, let's go out together today!"
Turning his head and seeing Liu Jinnan, he hurriedly gave a salute and asked, "Master, let me borrow Brother Zhi for half a day!"
Liu Jinnan liked this little girl quite a lot, so he smiled and nodded.
Liu Chengzhi knew that Shangguan Ruyun had always been very playful, and he also liked to be with her, so he readily agreed.
The two of them each led a horse, left the palace, got on the horse and drove towards the gate of Jinling City.
It was early autumn at that time, although Jinling City was mostly a city market, but out of the city gate, you could see the fruits full of trees, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere.
"Ride—ride—" The two rode fast horses and sped forward.
Along the way, Shangguan Ruyun erupted in happy laughter, which not only broke the silence of the field, but also stunned the villagers on the side.
"This eldest lady is really beautiful, but her temperament is also wild!" some villagers secretly commented.
Shangguan Ruyun has a big grinning and wind-like temperament, so he doesn't care what others think of him at all.
After a while, the two of them got tired of riding, so they slowed down and slowly paced along the village road together.
"My little five!" At this time, there was a cry in the distance.
The two of them couldn't help but feel strange, so they led the horse and walked over. It turned out to be an eldest lady who was crying in front of her own door!
Liu Chengzhi couldn't help asking, "Auntie, I don't know why you're crying?"
The eldest lady glanced at Liu Chengzhi and found that he was extraordinary and wearing a sword, so she hurriedly grabbed Liu Chengzhi's hand and said, "Hero, you must save our little five sons!"
Liu Chengzhi asked, "What's wrong with your children?"
The eldest lady began to tell in detail.
Originally, this village was called Lijia Village, and the residents were all surnamed Li. This little fifth son is the fifth son of the eldest mother, the father of the little fifth son has been seriously ill since the beginning of the year, according to the doctor, he must go to the black mist forest in the south of Lingdong City to go to a red bead herb to be cured.
Xiao Wuzi is a filial son, the day before yesterday he took his two brothers to the Black Mist Forest to collect medicine, who knew that on the way into the mountain met the Hessian wolf, in order to save the lives of the two brothers, one person led the wolf away.
The two elder brothers were timid, so they came back halfway. As a result, the medicine was not collected, and the life and death of Xiao Wuzi were unknown.
When Liu Chengzhi heard this, he felt that this little fifth son had quite an appetite for himself, and the Hessian wolf was a first-order demonic beast, generally hovering on the periphery of the Black Mist Forest, and he and Shangguan Ruyun could deal with it, so he said: "Auntie, don't be sad, let's go to the Black Mist Forest now, and strive to bring your child back!"
When the eldest lady heard the joy, she was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was pulled by Liu Chengzhi, and when he raised his head, the two were gone.
"I hope God will bless my little five sons and these two good people", the eldest lady prayed secretly in her heart, then stopped her tears and went back to the house.
Liu Chengzhi and Shangguan Ruyun knew that saving people was like fighting fire, and as soon as they left Lijia Village, they quickly got on their horses and drove towards the Black Mist Forest at high speed.
The two of them came to the edge of the Black Mist Forest.
The Black Mist Forest is the most dangerous place outside Lingdong City, where the black fog is pervasive, the demon beasts are rampant, and the Great Jin Dynasty has sent troops to clean it up several times, but they have returned in vain.
According to the older generation, there is a tenth-order fierce beast inside, which is the second highest demon beast in the world of the Min Heaven Realm, and most people walk around this forest, so it is rarely visited.
In the early morning, the forest was foggy, the visibility was no more than three feet, and the roar of demonic beasts was constantly heard in the distance.
When the two of them came to the periphery, they already felt a cold feeling, and they couldn't help but stand up their hairs.
But as soon as Liu Chengzhi thought that that little fifth son was in danger, he tried his best to drive away his fear, cheered himself up, turned his head and followed Shangguan Ruyun and said: "Ninth princess, it's a little weird inside, or you don't go in!"
Shangguan Ruyun glanced at him and said, "If we came together, we have to go back together, don't want to get rid of me!"
Liu Chengzhi grinned awkwardly, and then poured a wisp of divine thought into the Xuanqi Treasure Book.
Si Ju's voice appeared in Liu Chengzhi's thoughts, and Si Ju asked, "What's the matter, do you think of me again?"
Liu Chengzhi said with his thoughts: "I want to ask, did you hear what the lady said just now?"
Si Ju said: "Of course, I already know the location of her son through the acquisition of the breath in her body!"
Liu Chengzhi was overjoyed and said, "Then take us there!"
Then, Liu Chengzhi said to Shangguan Ruyun: "If you want to follow me into this forest, you must listen to me, and you are not allowed to run around!"
Shangguan Ruyun hurriedly agreed.
They tied their horses to the outside of the woods, and went in.
Liu Chengzhi and Shangguan Ruyun followed the guidance of Xuanqi Baojian and began to walk towards the interior of the forest.
After walking about half a mile, I noticed that there were traces of a fight in front of me. The two of them were overjoyed, and immediately followed the trail quickly.
When he was about to enter the outer two miles of the forest, suddenly a strong wind blew and a fishy smell came.
When the two looked back, they saw a huge tiger running out of the woods, two meters tall, with two long fangs in its mouth.
"Sawtooth Tiger! Second-Order Demonic Beast!"
