Chapter 30: The trial is postponed
The empty mountains are lonely, the cold moon is like a hook, and the stars hang above the night, like a dazzling jewel scattered with stars, adding poetry to the quiet and peaceful valley.
The faint floral fragrance and the fragrance of plants and trees are intertwined, giving people a wonderful feeling of serenity, comfort and relaxation.
The smoke is thick and undissolved, forming a natural barrier that adds a lot of mystery to the otherwise quiet valley.
"There is a nine-turn misty smoke array ahead, you two can go in by yourself!" Luo Yunchen pointed to the thick clouds in front of him and said calmly to Shangguan Po and Gan Yingying beside him.
"But we don't know the formation at all!" Shangguan's tetanus was too serious, and after more than two days of pranayama, he still looked quite weak.
"No defense! Shangguan Yuyan can sense that the two of you are coming, and will take the two of you in, if there is anything, just tell her!" Luo Yunchen replied with a flat expression, and turned around to leave.
At this moment, a sweet voice like heaven came from the valley: "What? I haven't seen you for more than a year, how did you become so timid? I'm afraid my sister won't eat you?"
Before the voice fell, a pale pink shadow appeared in Taniguchi, a woman of fifteen or sixteen years old, with long eyelashes, a straight nose, and a ruddy mouth, looking as beautiful as an elf and a fairy.
I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Shangguan Yuyan has lost a little girl's youth and has become a sweet-looking little and lovely person. When Luo Yunchen looked at Shangguan Yuyan, Shangguan Yuyan was also looking the former up and down, but when he saw the half-faced ghost head mask on the former's face, he couldn't help frowning: "Little scoundrel, why do you wear a ghost head mask?"
If Luo Yunchen hadn't been burned on the face by the Gouheng Flame Talisman, he wouldn't have worn a terrifying ghost head mask, hearing Shangguan Yuyan's question, he smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, Sister Yuyan, but it hasn't changed at all." There has been an accident in Nanyue, and General Shangguan Po and Miss Gan Yingying have come to look for you on the orders of your mother! Let them tell you about the specific things!"
Shangguan Yuyan followed her master to leave Nanyue since she was a child, lived in seclusion in the vine flower valley, and knew very little about Nanyue, after listening to Luo Yunchen's words, she turned her head to look at Shangguan Po and Gan Yingying.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the little princess!" Shangguan Po and Gan Yingying knelt on the ground, and said in a sad voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty was murdered by the traitor Yu Wenxuan, and Niangniang and a group of royal clansmen were slaughtered. South Vietnam suffered a once-in-a-century catastrophe, and asked His Royal Highness to return to China to take charge of political affairs and kill traitors. ”
"What? Father and mother have died? What is going on? Tell me what happened. Shangguan Yuyan reached out and grabbed Gan Yingying's shoulders and asked in a trembling voice.
"Sister Yu Yan, General Shangguan and Miss Gan are both injured, so let's let the two of them enter the valley first, and then tell Sister Yu Yan what happened. Luo Yunchen saw that Shangguan Yuyan had lost her bearings, and hurriedly spoke.
The vine valley is quiet and verdant, full of flowers and green grass, and three thatched houses are quietly nestled in the valley. In a thatched hut on the left, Shangguan Yuyan sat on a wooden chair, quietly listening to Shangguan Po and Gan Yingying's story, her lovely face like an elf was full of anger and a solemn face.
"Yu Wenxuan, a chaotic minister and thief, is really a heinous crime, not to mention usurping. Shangguan Po and Gan Yingying, I will go to say goodbye to my master now, rush back to Nanyue with you, kill Yu Wenxuan's thief, and avenge my family. Shangguan Yuyanxiu clenched her fists, her long nails pierced her palms, and blood kept coming out of her palms, and she didn't know it.
The cold killing intent in Shangguan Yuyan's body made Shangguan Po and Gan Yingying feel uneasy, and even Luo Yunchen, who had cultivated to a great advancement, felt uneasy.
"Sister Yu Yan is angry, since Yu Wenxuan can successfully ascend to the position, it means that he has been plotting for a long time, if you go back like this, you can only die in vain, it is better to discuss with Senior Tian first, and then make plans!" Luo Yunchen took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to grab Shangguan Yuyan, who was a little out of control, and persuaded him in a harmonious voice.
"I don't care! I must break Yuwen Po's rebellious thief into pieces!"
Shangguan Yuyan turned around sharply and slapped Luo Yunchen's chest fiercely, Luo Yunchen only felt a pain in his chest, his body flew straight out, knocked down half of the wall, fell to the ground, and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Luo Yunchen pressed on the ground with one hand, struggling to stand up, but he didn't have the slightest strength. Luo Yunchen believed that if it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated to Dajin now and was wearing ink scale armor on his body, he would have already returned to the West by now.
"Little brother, how are you? Her Royal Highness the princess missed for a while, please don't hold a grudge!" Shangguan Po and Gan Yingying hurriedly stepped forward, helped Luo Yunchen up, and asked with a concerned expression.
"A little injury, it doesn't hinder anything!" Luo Yunchen showed a wry smile on his face, is this self-inflicted?
"Master, Yu Wenxuan killed the apprentice's entire family, and the apprentice wants to return to Nanyue with General Shangguan and Miss Gan to avenge his father and queen mother, and please allow your old man!"
On the futon, Tian Lei, who was meditating and practicing wholeheartedly, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Shangguan Yuyan who was kneeling on the ground with a hateful face, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Okay, since you are worried about your family and hatred of the country, and you can't cultivate with peace of mind in the future, I will accompany you back to Nanyue Country as a teacher!"
Tian Lei took Shangguan Yuyan, Gan Yingying, and Shangguan Po to leave the vine flower valley and rushed to Nanyue Kingdom, while Luo Yunchen stayed in the vine flower valley to recover from his injuries.
Jiujiang Academy's Wantenglin trial time is getting closer and closer, and Luo Yunchen must let his injuries recover as soon as possible in order to better deal with possible dangers.
Three days later, Luo Yunchen stood on a mountain peak more than ten zhang high, quietly looking at the black ink rocks of different sizes in the valley and the ancient maple trees that covered the sky, and a trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. A year ago, Luo Yunchen was chased and killed by many masters under the Yin Thousand Blades because of the Cloud Turning Knife Technique, and in desperation, he fled into the Ten Thousand Vine Forest, and after a battle to the death, he killed more than ten people who caught the head of Du and killed them quickly, and swallowed the four evils of the Ape Mountain that were far superior to their own Kinetic Energy Pill. Also in the Ten Thousand Vine Forest, Luo Yunchen was rescued by the white fox Xiaoyu, and was chased and killed by his brother and other clansmen.
"It's time for the trial of Wanteng Forest, but no one from Jiujiang Academy has come? Luo Yunchen frowned slightly, touched his chin, and muttered to himself.
In the forest of ten thousand vines, on a relatively empty ground, a lonely grave towers. In front of the grave was a somewhat worn ancient maple plaque, the handwriting on the plaque had been blurred, and four shriveled heads were placed in front of the wooden tablet.
"Brother Luo Leng, my brother has come to see you! Don't worry, I hereby swear that I will kill the thief of the Yin Thousand Blades and avenge you. Thinking of all the things he had gotten along with before, Luo Yunchen unconsciously had a little tear in his eyes.
Somewhere in the Ten Thousand Vine Forest, on an inconspicuous hill, a small beast with silver scales all over its body, with a single horn on its head, like a pony, stood with its head held high, and on the back of the pony, sat a young woman dressed in red veil. The woman's face is beautiful, the green silk hangs down her shoulders, the hosta is obliquely inserted, and she is carrying two strange scimitars.
Next to the red feather, there was a young man in white, the young man was very handsome, his black hair was tied with a gray and white ribbon, and he hung straight down on his shoulders, with a kind of free and easy.
"Brother Wu, the two of us have searched the entire Ten Thousand Vine Forest, but we haven't found a trace of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Mansion. It seems that the information you got should be wrong!" Hong Yu glanced at Wu Meijun beside him, and said with a slight frown.
"That's true! I don't know if the four disciples of Biyun Palace and Seven Star Hall can come to Wanteng Forest for the same purpose as the two of us. Wu Meijun didn't seem to take the matter of the Huanglong Immortal Mansion to heart at all, and said with a light smile.
"Brother Wu, looking at your appearance, it seems that you don't take the Huanglong Immortal Mansion to heart at all. ”
Wu Meijun smiled indifferently: "I've always believed in chance, since I didn't get it, forget it!"
To the south of the Ten Thousand Vine Forest, on a tall and dense ancient maple tree, a dried corpse was hung from the vines, the corpse's eyes were sunken, there were no arms, and the head was cut off in half, which looked very scary. On the ground not far away, there were more than ten dead bodies lying horizontally, all of them shriveled and abnormal, looking a little weird.
A young man in his twenties with an honest appearance was squatting in front of a dead body, carefully observing the wounds on the corpse.
"Senior Brother Jing, what have you discovered?"
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, dressed in a luxurious five-color xia dress, and beautiful as a flower, asked slowly.
Jing Kang frowned slightly and said, "The corpse has dried up, and there is no blood!"
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman with good looks pursed her lips and said disapprenorovingly: "Brother Jing, it seems that these corpses have been dead for at least a year, and it is normal for the blood to dry up. Nothing to fuss. ”
"Senior Sister Ruini, since the two elders of the two sects have asked the four of us to investigate the Ten Thousand Vine Forest, we should be wholeheartedly. It's good to have an explanation when you go back!" next to Liu Yue, a young man in his twenties, wearing a light blue robe and an angular face, said with a serious expression.
"What Senior Brother Zhang said is that Liu Yue is reckless!" Liu Yue said apologetically to the man in the light blue robe.
On an ancient maple tree in the distance, Luo Yunchen was motionless, his eyes were staring at a few people in the distance, and his face was uncertain.
"Hu Yan Xiaoying and Jingkang, the four immortal cultivators, how could they check those traps I killed? Could it be that there is something strange in them?" Luo Yunchen frowned slightly, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart.
"Who is sneaky, hiding in the shadows, eavesdropping on us?"
Before the words fell, a flash of starlight as fast as lightning rushed out, bypassing more than ten ancient maple trees, and directly taking Luo Yunchen who was hidden on the ancient maple trees.
Luo Yunchen's heart froze, but he didn't expect a little emotional fluctuation, but he was still discovered by the other party. Immediately, he jumped down, slid like a fish, and dodged.
"It's interesting!" Zhang Xiaoyao didn't expect that the hidden person was so good that he could dodge his meteor thorn.
"Under Chen Yun, a student of Jiujiang Academy, I have seen a few Taoist friends!" Luo Yunchen is also a person who has seen the world, and after knowing that he could not escape, he immediately turned back, hugged his fist towards the four of them, and said in a polite tone.
Zhang Xiaoyao saw that Luo Yunchen did not escape, his mind turned, and he collected the meteor thorn.
"Trainee of Jiujiang Academy, isn't the trial going on next month, why are you going to the Ten Thousand Vine Forest now?" Zhang Xiaoyao looked at Luo Yunchen and asked with a suspicious expression.
"That's it, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise be careful and your life will be at risk!" Hu Yanxiao stared at Luo Yunchen with beautiful eyes, and said sharply.
Luo Yunchen felt a wave of slander in his heart, he hadn't seen it for more than a year, Hu Yan Xiaoying's cultivation had reached the twelfth layer of the body refining stage, it was really amazing, and it was no wonder that he couldn't look down on himself.
"I am indeed a student of Jiujiang Academy, because the students in the academy did not come to the trial, out of curiosity, I eavesdropped on the conversation of the four immortal elders, and asked the four immortal elders to have a large number of them, don't care. Luo Yunchen skimmed a lot of thoughts in his heart, his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not lie at all.
"Hmph! In front of me Zhang Xiaoyao, you dare to lie! It's really looking for death!" Zhang Xiaoyao's voice was cold, and a torrent of mountains and seas rushed out, and Luo Yunchen only felt a surge in his chest, almost about to burst.
"Everything that is said below is true!"
"Senior Brother Zhang, it seems that this kid is also an unintentional mistake! ”
"Yes, a mere six-star martial artist, he can't escape the tiger roar of his senior brother!" Liu Yue also opened his mouth to persuade, only Hu Yan Xiaoying stared at Luo Yunchen suspiciously, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The trial time of Jiujiang Academy has been postponed, you can come back next month!" Zhang Xiaoyao listened to Jing Kang and Liu Yue's words, and his expression suddenly eased a lot.
"I don't know if the four immortal elders know, why did Jiujiang Academy postpone the trial time?"
"This is the decision of the academy's top management! I don't know!" Zhang Xiaoyao replied impatiently.
"Say goodbye!" Luo Yunchen hugged his fist towards the four of them, then turned around and galloped out into the distance, and disappeared without a trace in a few flashes.
