Volume 1 Life Ups and Downs Chapter 39 Encountering a Beautiful Woman
Ye Shicheng seemed to see his doubts, and said: "This kind of giant bandit is definitely not alone, there are many outlaws under him. If you want to complete this kind of task, it is naturally impossible for one or two masters to do it. Although your Force is not level five, you can team up with the masters, they are responsible for dealing with Zhang Yihuo, and you can deal with those minions. When the time comes, you can also share some bounties. ”
Wang Xiaotian suddenly realized. He asked, "So, where are the others? How do you find them to form a team?"
Ye Shicheng said: "Everyone else should have rushed to Zhang Yihuo's lair." Here's a map. If you're fast, you should have time to meet them. ”
When Wang Xiaotian heard this, he immediately said, "Then you hurry up and help me take over this task." ”
Wang Xiaotian rode a wildebeest to Eagle Cliff.
In fact, he runs much faster than a wildebeest. But other cultivators rode wildebeest on their way, and he didn't want to be too eye-catching, so he had to follow the local customs.
Wang Xiaotian didn't want to be the cannon fodder in front of him. What he hoped most was that the bounty hunters in front of him were exhausted from killing Zhang Yihuo, so he arrived in one step, killed Zhang Yihuo and then received the bounty and points.
That's great.
So, his speed is not fast.
The long road is long, riding alone, and the most lonely is unbearable.
Wang Xiaotian was already tired of seeing the scenery, so he simply believed in the horse, half-closed his eyes, and deduced the sword moves over and over again in his mind.
A month ago, on the bookshelf on the first floor of the Tower of Babel, he found a sword book, according to the preface of the sword book, this sword book was created by a master in the old era, called Youlong. It also said that this swordsmanship has been cultivated to perfection, and it can transform the sword into a dragon to protect the body, and the needle cannot be inserted into the water, and it is not afraid of siege at all, but it is a top-level swordsmanship that integrates attack and defense, and it is really infinitely powerful.
However, this swordsmanship requires extremely high qualifications and talents. With Wang Xiaotian's extraordinary memory, it took more than ten days to forcibly memorize this set of swordsmanship, and there was no practice at all.
Because this set of swordsmanship is too complicated, there are endless changes between moves, no matter which move or style, dozens of different changes can be produced to deal with the enemy's attack with different moves.
Moreover, the moves of this set of swordsmanship are not gradual, strung together into a dragon from front to back, but can be connected between any two moves. So, although this set of swordsmanship appears to be only eighteen styles on the surface, there are thousands of combinations and variations.
At the moment, Wang Xiaotian only memorized the "shape" of these swordsmanship, and the "meaning" in them, as well as the subtle changes when using them in the future, had to be practiced and practiced repeatedly, and immersed in more than ten or even decades before they could be fully understood. If you want to achieve the sword moving at will, and no sword is better than a sword, the time and energy required are even more incalculable.
Fortunately, there is the Tower of Babel system. Wang Xiaotian can deduce swordsmanship in his mind while hurrying.
This is his newly discovered function, creating a virtual space in the Tower of Babel, mapping his own image into it, and using his consciousness to manipulate the image to perform various actions, such as practicing swordsmanship, and each time he practices, the proficiency of swordsmanship is one point higher. When the drill reached the key point, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but wave his hand and gesture with his sword.
He was in the middle of his day when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. Before he could fully wake up from the state of deducing sword moves, he heard someone behind him "whoosh--".
Wang Xiaotian reined in the wildebeest and was about to look back, when he heard someone shouting, "Hey." The sound is like a nightingale, crisp and lively, and it also has the sweetness of Jiangnan girls.
Wang Xiaotian turned his head and saw a yellow-shirted girl about seventeen or eighteen years old with ponytails, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a straight nose, a goose egg face with a little baby fat, and two small dimples on her cheeks looking at him.
Seeing Wang Xiaotian's eyes blurred and dazed, as if he hadn't woken up, the whole person was very cute and cute, the girl couldn't help laughing, her red lips bloomed like flowers, revealing her white, braided teeth.
Wang Xiaotian saw the girl's smile full of youthful sunshine, and suddenly his heart couldn't stop beating wildly, his throat was dry and itchy, and his face was red and his ears were red. He quickly avoided his gaze and asked in a low voice, "Uh-what's the matter?"
Seeing Wang Xiaotian's shy appearance, the girl smiled even more happily, and her round apricot eyes narrowed into two crescents. Wang Xiaotian heard her silver bell-like laughter, his face burned even more, and his head was buried even lower.
After a while, the girl couldn't hold back a smile and said with a straight face: "Let me ask you, how far is Eagle Cliff?"
Wang Xiaotian looked up at the surrounding environment, calculated silently for a moment in his heart, and said, "There are probably fifty kilometers left." ”
"Which direction?"
Wang Xiaotian pointed to the southwest and said, "Where should it be." I'm not sure, though. ”
The girl looked Wang Xiaotian up and down carefully, and said, "You also go to Eagle Cliff?"
Before Wang Xiaotian's brain could decide, whether to tell the truth or not, his head had already nodded.
The girl was slightly surprised and asked, "Alone?"
Wang Xiaotian's head was once again nodded without the command of his brain.
The girl was a little surprised, "How old are you?"
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while, puffed up his chest and said, "Ten ...... Seven years old. He wanted to say sixteen years old, but the devil added another year to himself, so that he would not be too different from the girl's age.
"Oh, seventeen. What's your name?"
"Wang Xiaotian. ”
"Wang Xiaotian?" is a very common name, and it is all over the street. The girl thought for a moment and said, "Since you are also going to Eagle Cliff, why don't we be companions?"
Wang Xiaotian's head clicked down for the third time without being commanded by his brain.
The girl smiled, suddenly stretched out her hand, and gently rubbed Wang Xiaotian's head, "Okay." You are a year younger than me, and it is my responsibility to take care of you. From now on, you will mess with me, and I will cover you. My name is Ling Yanzi, so you can call me Sister Yanzi. ”
Wang Xiaotian could have dodged the girl's palm, but somehow, his body didn't obey at all. Then he felt that the little hand on the top of his head was warm, soft, greasy, slippery, and very comfortable. He suddenly wished that the little hand would never be taken away.
"It's called Sister Swallow. The little hand gently patted Wang Xiaotian's head.
"Sister Swallow. Wang Xiaotian said softly.
"Hey. That's good. The little hand rubbed Wang Xiaotian's head again, and then took it away. Wang Xiaotian's heart suddenly felt a little empty.
Ling Yanzi smiled: "Let's go." You're going to have to keep up with me. Drive!"
Ling Yanzi, who was dressed in a yellow shirt, rode away.
Wang Xiaotian looked at the girl's graceful back, a little distracted. He didn't understand why he was unsuspecting of Ling Yanzi.
Many years later, he would think of this scene again, and suddenly woke up to the feeling that made his face red and his heart beat faster was love, and the bond between each other had long been doomed.
Fate, mysterious, unspeakable.
Wang Xiaotian and Ling Yanzi rode their horses one after the other. After more than an hour, according to the extremely rudimentary map on the bounty notice, they descended the main road and walked up a trail.
The trail was rough and difficult to navigate, and it was not possible to continue riding wildebeest. The two had to find a hiding place, tie up the wildebeest and move forward on foot. As a result, the travel speed is much slower.
However, it also creates opportunities for them to talk. Just now they were galloping on the main road, and the two rarely had a chance to talk.
Ling Yanzi has a cheerful personality, lively and talkative, she didn't speak for more than an hour just now, and she was already a little panicked, how could she let it go now that she had the opportunity?
She told Wang Xiaotian about what she had seen. Compared with the lonely Wang Xiaotian, she is both talkative and well-informed, and she can't hold back as soon as she starts talking. And her voice is crisp, sweet and beautiful, like a heavenly sound, which makes Wang Xiaotian enjoy it very much.
So Wang Xiaotian became a loyal listener, occasionally interjecting, "Wow, that's amazing." "What about later?" Ling Yanzi can be led to talk for a long time.
The two walked along the trail for more than an hour and climbed a hill.
The situation in front of him surprised Wang Xiaotian.
The two of them walked all the way, and they didn't even see a single figure, but they saw a group of people on this hill. These people are men and women, old and young, and the only thing they have in common is that they don't seem to be good people.
Ling Yanzi and Wang Xiaotian stood in front of them, it was like two little lambs encountering a large group of hungry wolves.
Seeing the two of them coming, the eyes of these people were like knives, and they all threw themselves over, and the posture was eager to eat the two alive.
Wang Xiaotian's fourth-level peak force, and Ling Yanzi's fourth-level primary-level force. Wang Xiaotian instinctively took two steps forward, wanting to stand in front of Ling Yanzi to protect her.
Ling Yanzi was one step faster than Wang Xiaotian and stopped him first.
Ling Yanzi glanced at the group of people and said in a deep voice, "People from Eagle Cliff?"
The crowd immediately erupted in laughter.
A twenty-five or sixteen-year-old, lewd-looking man smiled maliciously, "We are not from Eagle Cliff. If it's Eagle Cliff, when you see such a beautiful girl as you, you will be arrested and taken back as the lady of the village. ”
Ling Yanzi blushed and said, "Then you are also here for the reward?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they are silent. Seeing this, Wang Xiaotian suddenly realized why these people stopped here.
Ye Shicheng once said that although the reward target is only Zhang Yihuo alone, there are many outlaws under him. If you want to complete this bounty, it is impossible for one or two people, and you need to cooperate with many meats. So, there are a lot of bounty hunters who come for this bounty.
But there are too many people, and how to distribute them has become a problem.
It's like there's only one cake, and so many people want to eat as much cake as possible, and they will definitely be wary of each other. Maybe you will stab you in the back for a while, so that there will be fewer people to share the cake.
Therefore, bounty hunters generally choose a place, communicate with it in advance, and reach a cooperation agreement.
This is the most suitable location. Because if you go further, you will enter the range of Eagle Cliff, and once you alarm the people of Eagle Cliff, you will be startled.
Everyone was silent for a while, and an old man who was about seventy years old and had a third-level peak Force suddenly said, "Everyone, the old man has a saying, I wonder if everyone is willing to listen to it?"
A strong man in his thirties who was fourth-level intermediate said: "If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you have a fart, let it go." ”
The old man glared angrily at the strong man, who glared back and raised his fist in a demonstrative manner. The old man was also hot, and when he saw the strong man demonstrating to him, he was not to be outdone, and "Cang Changchang" pulled out an eight-sided long sword.
Seeing this, the strong man scolded: "Old horseman, a lot of people are only at the age of the third-level Force, and you have been a dog all your life? Come on, come on, uncle, I will let you see today, what is a 'big fist in a sand bowl'." ”
The old man glared angrily and said angrily: "Brainless and reckless! Is it great if the Force is high? Combat skills are fundamental." The old man will let you see today what is a legendary-level swordsmanship. Don't look at the old man, he only has a third-level Force, kill a brainless and reckless man like you with a sword. As he spoke, he swung his sword suddenly, and the Force's sword let out a roar.
The two didn't talk much, and they fought in one place. The partners of the two spoke out one after another.
Wang Xiaotian found that except for two or three people around the two of them, who spoke out to dissuade them, the rest of the people were indifferent at all, and they all stood by with their arms in their arms.
At this time, Ling Yanzi suddenly leaned in front of Wang Xiaotian and whispered, "Do you know why those people are watching coldly?"
