88 Kill the pigs
The spirit bird flew for most of the day, and Qiuqiu couldn't help but ask: "This trial cave is not the realm of Jiufeng?" Why is it so far away? β
You must know that the spirit bird is not slow, even if it can't catch up with Boeing, it should be no problem to catch up with the high-speed rail, right? They set out early in the morning, and now it's past noon. Qiuqiu originally thought that the trial cave must be a cave in the back mountain, and she would arrive at it after walking a few steps, but now she is so naΓ―ve when she sees it.
"It's in Jiufeng." Shi'er's answer was concise and to the point.
Qiuqiu took a slow beat to understand - what he meant was that the trial cave was at the boundary of Jiufeng, but they hadn't arrived yet, which meant that they hadn't left the boundary of Jiufeng Mountain after flying for a long time!
It's so big......
Qiuqiu didn't need to be very good at arithmetic, and knew that even if they didn't go out of a thousand miles this morning, there would always be eight hundred miles.
It's so unscientific! Such a local tyrant who encloses land at will is too hateful.
In her previous life, why did she work tirelessly to save a down payment? No, let's not talk about the previous life, let's just talk about this life, when she was still at home, a family of seven or eight people was crammed into such a narrow mud-walled grass hut......
Well, people are more popular than dead people.
"Tired?"
"Linghe has to drink water, right?"
Shi'er answered, and gestured towards Lin Su from afar.
The crowd began to descend. Scattered landings on the river beach.
Shi'er let Linghe go to the river to drink water, and Qiuqiu also went over to squat down to wash his hands and pull back his hair that was blown up. Shi'er sat under the tree next to her, quietly watching her.
"Are you thirsty?"
Qiuqiu wiped his hands, sat beside him, took out the boiled tea from the Qiankun bag, poured it into the tea cup and handed it to him.
Shi'er took it.
Qiuqiu also poured one for herself.
Lin Su came over with a smile: "It smells so fragrant, what kind of tea is this?" β
"It's boiled with Ningshen grass, tea leaves, and a kind of herb," Qiuqiu poured him a lamp: "Taste it." β
Guan Wei also walked over and said nothing.
But Qiuqiu didn't like one over the other, so she also poured him a lamp.
So now it's four people sitting in a row drinking tea.
Chunyu and another girl who Qiuqiu didn't recognize came over with a smile, and simply braided together the leaves of fine grass as a grass basket, which contained several kinds of wild fruits, and Qiuqiu could only recognize one.
Chunyu said, "Miss Jingqiu, please try this." Our Jiufeng here is not the same as the Central Plains, maybe these flowers and wild fruits are also different. β
Qiuqiu reached out and grabbed two, and said with a smile, "Thank you." β
Lin Su also stretched out his hand and took one, picked the fruit open, and took a sip of juice: "This is pure water, but you can't break it, you can break it so much that you can do it all over your hand." β
Fortunately, there is a knowledgeable guide, otherwise Qiuqiu feels that it is not very decent to shed a hand of juice.
People give her fruit to eat not necessarily just to watch her dripping juice, Qiuqiu feels that she can't always think of others in a bad way.
Besides, even if they did it on purpose, this little prank was stronger than the malice of Xiuru and Heliu.
When they were far away, Lin Su lowered his voice and said, "They are very good with Xiuru, and they grew up together." Xiuru was locked up, and they must have felt a little awkward in their hearts. But don't worry, they're not the kind of people who willful. β
So is their awkwardness only reflected in this little fruit?
Qiuqiu is not disgusted by their actions, changing Qiuqiu, the friend who grew up together since childhood suffered because of an outsider, although she is to blame, but this must feel uncomfortable.
This shows that they attach great importance to affection. If they quickly forget about Xiuru, when she doesn't exist, and then they are focused on getting in touch with Qiuqiu, this kind of utilitarianism makes people even more uneasy.
Aside from that, the fruit is delicious, ripe just right, and when gently cracked, the milky juice gushes out, looking like coconut juice and tasting as sweet as honey cheese.
They arrived at the Cave of Trials when it was almost dark.
It is a steep bank wall, and there is no way up the mountain, and the smooth stone wall is not even climbable by apes. The spirit birds landed on the small stone platform protruding from the stone wall, and many people must have set foot here over the years, and the edges and corners of the stone were worn away, and they looked very smooth.
The green vines hung down long and covered the door.
The formation of opening the door of the cave needs to be launched by nine people, and Guan Wei is one of the nine people, but Lin Su did not go up, he stood very close to Qiuqiu, and said softly: "The formation must be personally taken by the peak master, and others cannot open it." β
Qiuqiu asked him in a low voice, "When was the last time you opened this door?" β
"It's been fifty years." Lin Su sighed a little: "At that time, it was the previous peak master who led the people here, and I didn't cultivate enough at that time, but I just heard about it, but I couldn't come." β
In this way, most of the people present came for the first time, and Qiuqiu felt a little more steady. Everyone is a rookie, and the starting point is the same.
The door opened slowly, and when I looked inside, I couldn't see anything in the dark.
Shi'er took Qiuqiu's hand and walked in front, the sunset had set, the light around him suddenly dimmed, and his feet were a little unclear. Autumn and autumn are deep and shallow, and their hands only care about the falling green vines.
The air in the cave was damp, and the sound of dripping water could be heard in the distance.
"Slow down."
Shi'er snorted, and sure enough, slowed down.
Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and after walking a short distance, the front lit up, and Qiuqiu raised her head to look around.
They crossed a long road carved out of the rocks, and in front of them were the mountains and fields, and there was no road at all.
"We ......" Qiuqiu turned her head, stammering and speechless.
Behind them was also a reckless field, there was no one, and the stone cave they came out of just now was gone.
"What about the others?" Qiuqiu was so apprehensive that she held Shi'er's hand tightly.
"When you come in, you will randomly appear in different places." "Sometimes if you're lucky, two groups of people can meet during trials. Sometimes from the time you come in to the time you go out, you don't meet anyone. β
"And now it's just the two of us?" Qiuqiu was inevitably nervous: "When will the trial end?" How are we going to get out then? β
"The passage of time here is different from outside, and if you want to go out, you can go out at any time." Shi'er showed Qiuqiu a token in his hand: "Break the token and you can go out." β
It turned out that this was the case, Qiuqiu let go of her worries.
That's a good thing, if someone encounters any danger in the trial, as long as it's not immediately fatal, they can get out of it this way. It's much better than going outside to practice, at least there is no worry about your life.
Huo'er probed his head and looked out, there were no outsiders here, and it didn't hurt that it was showing its head now.
Qiuqiu touched the two small dragon horns on its head, saying that it was a horn, and now I can't see the horns at all, just like two small beans, and one side is big and the other is small, not very symmetrical.
It crawled along Qiuqiu's arm all the way to Qiuqiu's shoulder, whining in its throat, looking eager and excited.
"Let's go."
Qiuqiu followed behind him and asked curiously, "What's in the trial cave?" When I was cultivating Yuan Mountain, I heard from my brothers and sisters that there was everything in the trial circle of Xiuyuan Mountain, including poisonous flowers and poisonous grasses, fierce beasts, insects and pigs, and even strange environments such as wind, thunder, and fire. β
"The trial cave is divided into many levels, and we should be the first layer now, and there is not much danger."
Huo'er suddenly jumped off Qiuqiu's shoulders and burrowed into the grass.
The spirit pet will not be lost, Qiuqiu is not worried that it will be lost, but he is afraid that it will encounter some danger.
She called twice into the long grass, but there was no response.
"Don't worry, it won't run far, it will follow us."
They hadn't gone far before the fire came out of the roadside, stained with hay and dead leaves. Qiuqiu didn't look like it was injured, but felt at ease like a fish in water.
The sky gradually darkened, and Qiuqiu felt out the glowstone to illuminate.
Along the way, they encountered nothing but two wild boars and a poisonous snake.
Of course, the wild boar in this trial cave is not the same as the wild boar outside. How many years has this pig grown? The skin is only thicker than the rhino, and the sword is sharpened, leaving only a white mark. The sword didn't hurt the boar, but it stirred it up. hit it headlong, and the tree that needed to be hugged by two people snapped and broke with a bang.
Shi'er stood aside and didn't mean to make a move at all, but just instructed Qiuqiu to pay attention to the footwork and body coordination, and pay attention to finding the weakness of the wild boar.
Qiuqiu's last sword stabbed into the boar's mouth, and finally solved it.
Wellβthis was the first time she'd put what she had learned into practice since she had learned swordsmanship, and it was a wild boar...... It's embarrassing to say.
What footwork, strength, formula, I can't remember it in a hurry, besides, her strength is small, and the skin of the wild boar is thick and the blood is high, which is really a hard bone for the little girl.
Shi'er shook her head and walked over, wiping the sweat on her face with a handkerchief: "You don't have to panic, panic, you can't use the sword moves that you usually practice." β
"You can't blame me for this......" Qiuqiu said with a bitter face: "I have always practiced with myself, and I haven't even cut the stake for practice a few times, and no one has ever fed me with me, which means that it has always been on paper, and this wild boar is not an ordinary pig!" It screamed, and my head was stunned, and I couldn't hold my sword steadily. β
Can such a pig still be called a pig? It's about to become a pig demon at all, okay? There are not only physical attacks, but also sonic mental attacks, which are too rebellious!
Huo'er didn't know where to go just now, as soon as the wild boar fell to the ground, it showed its head every minute, pounced on the pig's leg and tore it, it seemed that it had been hungry for three days and three nights.
"Are you hurt?"
Qiuqiu shook her head: "No." β
It's just that you may have consumed too much just now, and now you have no strength in your hands and feet, as if you have collapsed.
Shi'er helped her sit down, gave her a tonic pill, Qiuqiu swallowed the pill to meditate, Shi'er sat in front of her, her hands against her palms, and slowly helped her to do the exercises.
Qiuqiu exhaled, slowly opened her eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank youβhuh?" β
What about the pig she killed just now? It's a big pile there, why is it gone? RS
