Volume I: Strikingness Chapter VI: XIII
"Then follow, there are man-eating beasts on the mountain, which cannot be dealt with by a mortal, and you will die. After a long time, the woman said.
Wu Nian didn't speak, he followed silently, he didn't have the power of a woman, he walked quickly in the mountains, he had long lost his physical strength, he didn't want to lose the woman in front of him because of his ability to speak.
"It's endless. The woman was getting impatient.
Inadvertently, I saw a sword shadow roaring in the sky, killing Wu Nian. Wu Nian didn't dodge either, because he bet that if she actually saved herself, she wouldn't kill herself.
As she expected, every sword light passed by him, and even the last sword light cut a hole in his face, and he didn't stop.
"You don't cry when you see the coffin, right, okay, if you don't go, I'll go. The woman was annoyed and angry, and didn't want to entangle with Wu Nian anymore, so she jumped up like a flying goose and disappeared into a streamer. Before Wu Nian could react, the woman disappeared.
Wu Nian walked on the forest path in disbelief, this result was what he expected, and he didn't think that the woman would waste his time to teach him how to learn swords, but at least there was nothing wrong with trying, he thought so.
"Don't ask for anything more, she can save herself, she is already benevolent and righteous, why deceive herself anymore!" Wu Nian said to himself, and then walked towards the way down the mountain.
Since the first generation of the female emperor of the Xi Kingdom established the country with martial arts, the Xi Kingdom has often ruled with military force and ruled with force, so the cultivators and mortals of the entire Xi Kingdom are as different as cloud and mud.
Mortals aspire to become powerful cultivators, and cultivators regard mortals as ants, which has remained unchanged since ancient times.
Nine years ago, Elder Pei of the Sword Sect found him, not Yan Chen, but Wu Nian did not choose to go up the mountain with him, but chose to stay in Qinghe to be a small servant who delivered wine, it can be said that if there was no him, there might not be the current Yan family.
How difficult it is to miss an opportunity and want to do it again.
Wu Nian recalled that he was back then, when others came to him to learn swords, but he didn't go, but now he is looking for others to learn swords, but he was rejected.
Walking on the forest path, he thought about a lot of things, he went through all the recent events, and in general, he was too weak and not strong enough. He wanted to go to the Sword Sect with Yan Moxue, but he had to take revenge first, all of this required strength, which he figured out when he almost died in the old man of the rope dart.
"Roar..."
The roar of a beast interrupted Wu Nian's thoughts, and he saw that the mountains and forests in front of him trembled, and countless birds flew out. "No, it's a beast. Wu Nian thought of what the woman said, didn't think about anything, and ran away along the way down the mountain.
The sound of vibration was getting closer and closer, Wu Nian guessed that this fierce beast was coming at him, he tried his best to run as fast as he could, but the sound behind him was getting closer and closer, Wu Nian was so frightened that he was left in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look back.
"Smack!" With a loud bang, a pair of huge beast palms in the mountains and forests on Wu Nian's left side opened a big hole in the two giant trees, and a huge black bear rushed out of it, and the black bear saw the panicked Wu Nian in front of him, and the huge bear mouth drooled with greedy saliva and pounced on Wu Nian.
Wu Nian's face turned pale, he never thought that this was such a big black bear, and the speed was so fast. Without much thought, he hurriedly turned around and ran up the mountain.
"Ah......h
Wu Nianyuan underestimated the speed of the black bear, and as soon as he took two steps, he only felt that his back was hit by a strange force, and then his weak body was shot out a few feet away. He coughed up blood as he fell to the ground, and he could clearly feel that several ribs in his back were broken and he was unconscious.
"It's over, it's over!" He collapsed on the ground, his upper body was no longer able to move, he could only quietly watch the arrival of the black bear in front of him, accompanied by the sound of shaking and shaking, the black bear pounced on Wu Nian, its sharp fangs stained with slimy saliva shining in the sunlight.
The black bear's sticky saliva covered the small half of Wu Nian's cheeks, Wu Nian's face was like ashes, even if the saliva dripped on his face, he couldn't feel the stench, just waited quietly like a dead fish for the black bear to devour himself with his mouth.
The black bear opened his bloody mouth, and was about to swallow Wu Nian, Wu Nian had no resistance, he closed his eyes and waited for death, because he knew that no matter how he resisted, he would not be able to escape from the black bear's palm, as if he was the meat on the black bear's board, let it be slaughtered.
"Wow... Rub... The sound of three sword qi breaking through the air sounded from a distance, whistling, and when the giant bear's mouth was about to bite Wu Nian, the giant bear was divided into three by the three sword qi, and black and red beast blood flowed out from it, splashing Wu Nian's white clothes red.
In the distance, a girl holding a yellow umbrella stood on the branch of a big tree, looking at Wu Nian with her gray eyes from afar.
"I was saved by you again, benefactor, it seems that our fate is not over!"
After Wu Nian finished saying this, he fell in a pool of blood again.
......
Next to Mingtai Mountain Waterfall.
"Hey, hey, get up. Yes man...... Don't get up and throw water in the water to feed the fish. ”
"Plop!" said yes, the woman holding the umbrella really threw the rescued Wu Nian into the bottomless pool.
"Wow..."If he hadn't grown up in the mountains since he was a child and had good water quality, Wu Nian would really have planted it in this pool of water. Wu Nian emerged from the pool and complained: "Benefactor, if you wake me up, you don't need to throw me into the water, I will die." ”
"I saved your life, I love it. Hmph......" The woman turned her head and looked like what I said was what I said, and then she tilted her face and said, "What are you still doing in the water, why don't you come up and practice my sword for me." ”
"What, really, benefactor, you're finally willing to teach me swordsmanship. Wu Nian couldn't believe his ears until the woman nodded. He was overjoyed, dancing in the pool, and was almost choked by the pool again, causing the woman to giggle.
This is not the first time Wu Nian has seen a woman laugh, but this time she smiled differently from what she had seen before, this time she smiled very beautifully, very real, a curled lip curled like a beautiful crescent moon, not like the previous time I generally felt that she was smirking. In conjunction with his beautiful cheeks, this made Wu Nian look fascinated.
Wu Nian said with a smile: "Benefactor, it's good for you to smile like this occasionally, it's very good-looking." ”
When the woman was said this, a faint flush appeared on Xiu's face, which made Wu Nian look a little in a trance, and he really didn't dare to think about her in the direction of killing people without blinking.
"Don't I usually look good when I laugh?" the corners of the woman's mouth rose, and she put on a smirk, "Don't always be a benefactor, I have a name, my name is Thirteen, and you will call me that from now on." ”
"Thirteen, what a strange name. Wu Nian said secretly.
"I asked the benefactor for his name, but he told me whatever you want to call him, and didn't tell me his name. Wu Nian said.
"Your name is Wu Nian, right, now you know, you are not allowed to call me a benefactor in the future, I will teach you swordsmanship, and you are not allowed to call me master, you must always remember that I am not your master, as long as you promise me these two points, I will teach you." ”
Wu Nian was a little puzzled by this strange request, but still nodded and said, "Okay, benefactor." ”
"You still shouted, first punish you to take a horse under the waterfall, and you are not allowed to come out until the sun sets. Thirteen Jiao said angrily.
"......" Wu Nian wanted to say a few words of rebuttal, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, he scratched the back of his head, and said with his chin bowed: "Yes!"
It was far more difficult to take a step in the waterfall than Wu Nian thought, and the water flow several zhang high rushed down like a canopy, and as soon as he entered, Wu Nian was knocked down by the waterfall to the deep pool. After several times, it has been the same. In this regard, Thirteen thought of a good solution, that is, to tie a hundred-pound boulder behind Wu Nian, so that he would not be beaten away by the turbulent current.
I don't know if it's secretly interesting from him, or if that's really what I came up with. This method is really torturous, Wu Nian is already very difficult to carry a hundred catties of stones, and then standing under the flowing waterfall, he directly knelt on the stone in the waterfall. But Wu Nian didn't give up, he gritted his teeth and used his strength to carry the boulder in the waterfall, but it only took a few seconds before he knelt on the ground again.
Thirteen was indifferent to this, and just said, "Water can pierce stones." ”
However, the hard work pays off, Wu Nian, who is in the waterfall carrying a boulder and stepping on a horse, can only hold on for a few seconds at first, and slowly becomes ten seconds, a quarter of an hour, or even more. There were a few shocking blood marks on his body that were tied to the hemp rope with a boulder, and the sweat flowing on his body was mixed with the water rushing down, and the wound was tearing pain, but Wu Nian's perseverance was amazingly strong, and he persevered without blinking his eyes. Because the thirteenth who was sitting cross-legged in the middle came and said: "As long as he can hold on to the waterfall for an hour without falling to the ground, I will start teaching him how to practice." ”
Although Wu Nian has always said that he wants to learn swords, the premise of learning swords is to become a cultivator, and to become a cultivator, it is meaningful to learn swords, otherwise it will be meaningless.
Mortals are only mortals after all.
On this day, until it was dark, Wu Nian bit his lip full of blood, and he still couldn't hold out in the waterfall for an hour. But the benefits are naturally there, Wu Nian who came out of the waterfall can clearly feel that his body is much lighter, which means that his body has been strengthened.
Thirteen took out her delicate little cloth bag and said to Wu Nian, "This is the so-called storage bag in the cultivator world, although the shape is small, it contains all things. The better the storage bag, the more things you can hold. What's more, the mountains and rivers are packed in storage bags, but that's just a legend. ”
Only then did Wu Nian realize that he was just a frog at the bottom of a well, and the world of cultivators could not be measured by ordinary people's thinking.
"This is the elixir of cultivating the soul, a thing used by vein condensation cultivators to cultivate the veins, I don't need it anymore now, wait for you to take him down, meditate and recuperate, it won't take long for the injuries on his body to heal. Thirteen took out an emerald green pill from the storage bag and handed it to Wu Nian and said.
Wu Nian was also not polite, and knocked down this pill. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he didn't know exactly what to do, just closed his eyes and recuperated, the result was really as Thirteen said, when he opened his eyes again, the wounds on his body were already healed, and his tired body had recovered a lot, which made Wu Nian ask Xiang Thirteen curiously: "Thirteen, I was seriously injured the first two times, should you feed me this too!"
"Of course. Thirteen said proudly.
Wu Nian looked at the thirteen in front of him, his heart was grateful, and an idea sprouted in his heart, "Even if the thirteen let him die now, he will never say a word." ”
Because she is a kind girl who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
It is impossible to associate it with the so-called female ghosts, which makes Wu Nian wonder what is the purpose of Master Wang to smear Thirteen like this, and Master Wang, who is it?
There is also what Wu Mu said: "Don't wander around on a rainy day, it's not been peaceful recently." ”
What's not a rule of law?
This is all Wu Nian wants to know, because these are all related to the woman in front of him.
