Chapter 52: Kindness in the Attack on the Mountain Road
Time goes by little by little, the people in the open space of the post station look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first bird. Zheng Qiu and Mingkong Zilin sat on the stone and waited, while Master Mingzong stood all the time, staring at the crowd intently.
Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, someone finally couldn't help it and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't worry about it anymore, everyone is here to find the dragon's teeth, what's the use of standing here." ”
Soon after the man finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "That's right, we weren't the first to arrive at the Falls. The people who came before have already rushed to the place where the dragon's tooth was born, and if you wait any longer, won't you give up the divine soldiers?"
These words made the originally quiet crowd lively, and the cultivators discussed with their companions one after another, and soon, some people shouted in agreement.
"It makes sense, we can't waste time here, we need to rush to the place where we were born first. ”
"That's how it should be, when the dragon's tooth is born, everyone will grab it according to their abilities. ”
Having said that, no one is willing to leave, and no one wants to gamble with their lives.
At this time, a group of cultivators stood up, and the young man led by him proposed, "Everyone, since no one is willing to take risks, it is better to set a rule. Everyone set off together, and as long as one of them strikes first, the rest of them will behead him together......"
"Hmph, what's the use of the rules you say, it's not that anyone wants to take risks. ”
Even when the words were interrupted, the young man was not angry, and he bowed his hand: "This fellow Taoist said well, it is true that someone must take this risk. ”
Then he pulled out the long sword he was carrying and flashed the cold light on the blade: "There are twelve disciples of the Wen Sword Sect here, take risks, let's come." If someone wants to break this rule, then they can try the swordsmanship of the Wen Sword Sect. ”
After speaking, the young man led the disciples of the same sect behind him to set up a streamer and fly down the top of the mountain first. Since some people are the first birds, how can the rest of the people continue to work hard. Everyone took out their magic weapons and weapons, and also set up streamers to follow.
Mingkong Zilin looked at Master Mingzong and reminded in a low voice: "Old man Mingzong, they are gone." ”
Master Mingzong nodded: "Well, we will also go down the mountain and walk the mountain road." ”
Mingkong Zilin felt strange about this decision, but she didn't dare to oppose it, for fear of making another mistake.
Under the peak of the post station, the moisture became thicker and thicker, and after not walking much, there was a feeling of wetness on my face. Cultivators were constantly flying overhead, and even if they saw people walking on the mountain road, they didn't have time to stay or take care of them.
After walking forward for about an hour and a half, Zheng Qiu could vaguely hear the rumbling sound of water in the distance, presumably the Waterfall Cliff was about to arrive.
Suddenly, Master Mingzong stopped, he opened his hand to block Zheng Qiu and Mingkong Zilin behind him, and his gaze kept sweeping the woods in front of him. Click, Mingkong Zilin stepped on a dead branch, and the crisp sound of the dead branch breaking was so obvious in the dim mountain forest in the evening.
"What kind of person!" The bushes under the trunk of the tree in front of the left burst out a snow-white light, and rushed straight to the door of Master Mingzong. Sure enough, there are people, apprentices and girls behind them, and this trick can't be hidden.
Master Ming Zong took two steps, pressed his right hand downward, and swept his left hand to the side of the white light. In an instant, a pale yellow halo lit up from his dantian position, and quickly moved to his left palm, and then his left palm exploded with a flash of earthy yellow, slapping heavily on the side of the white light.
Bang sounded, like a wooden hammer striking a gong, and the white light suddenly dissipated, and a long knife in the shape of a ruler flew out in a circle, nailing to the trunk of a tree in the distance.
The long knife was taken out of his hand, and the man with the knife hurriedly rolled over in the air to restrain the momentum of the forward rush.
While falling into the bushes, the man shouted to his companions: "It's a master, let's go up together!"
As soon as the words fell, the bushes in front of him began to shake again, and Master Mingzong was shocked, if there were still people, the two children would not be able to protect them. He shouted, "Wait! We're not here to fight for the dragon's teeth!"
When the other party heard this, he immediately raised his hand and signaled his companion who had just rushed out of the bushes to stop attacking. One, two, three, four...... Master Ming Zong counted them, there were seven, plus the one who was slapped with a flying long knife, a total of eight people, which is really a lot.
The man at the beginning took a few steps forward, a middle-aged man in a blue-gray tight short suit, with an iron-gray metal mask on his face, which was only half of the mask, revealing the other half of his face.
The man slowly leaned against the tree with the long knife nailed to it, and asked cautiously, "Who are you, and why should I believe you?"
Master Ming Zong pulled his sect robe and showed the cloud-like pattern on his chest to the other party: "We are people from the Qianyun Sect, look at this." You always know the Qianyun Sect, we never get involved in any fighting. ”
The man's footsteps stopped, but he still didn't let his guard down: "Of course I know about the Qianyun Sect, but how can I determine the authenticity of the clothes alone." ”
Seeing that the other party was willing to communicate, Master Mingzong breathed a sigh of relief, he turned over and pointed at Zheng Qiu and Mingkong Zilin: "Look, I still have two children with me, this child can't do anything fake." ”
The man looked at the two children carefully, then asked his companion to put away his weapons, and the tension was dissipated.
The man bowed to Master Mingzong: "Senior, I was so offended just now, I'm really sorry." ”
Master Mingzong waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that a few people are hiding in this bush to do something, don't you go to the waterfall cliff?"
"Fallout Cliff is definitely going to go. To hide from our predecessors, our sect is at war with the Ink Shadow Valley, and here it is also to avoid the masters of the Ink Shadow Valley. ”
As he spoke, the man took out a bulging bag from the bush, "Is there a pill for healing injuries on the seniors, I am willing to buy it with a lot of money." ”
Master Mingzong shook his head and pushed the bag back, took out a small bottle from his arms and threw it to the man: "I have the pill to treat the wound, but the grade is not high, so I still don't accept this money." ”
He pulled Zheng Qiu and Mingkong Zilin and walked into the distance, and said, "Since a few of them are hiding from the enemy, we won't stay, and we will meet again." ”
The man bowed deeply: "Senior, this kindness has been recorded by my sect, and when we meet again, we will definitely repay it." ”
After walking a little further, the rumbling sound of the water became clearer, and the waterfall cliff was just ahead. Master Ming Zong stopped again, raised his head and looked left and right.
Seeing this situation, Mingkong Zilin was very nervous, and a faint halo appeared on her body, obviously exercising: "Ming, Mingzong old man, is there another enemy?"
"No, I don't. ”
Master Mingzong's answer was like cutting Mingkong Zilin's tense nerves, she was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes and thinking about whether Mingzong was comforting herself.
"There really are no enemies. ”
"So, what are you looking at?"
Master Ming Zong walked under a big tree, patted the thick trunk and replied, "Pick a tree for the night, it's too dangerous to go there at night, and I can't protect you." ”
