Hiding in the chair, the castle lord looked at the samurai who looked a little cowering and bowed his head towards him, sighed and said, "Still no news?" You rice buckets, so many people have been out for more than ten days, and you can't even collect the slightest bit of information about them! ”
The samurai didn't dare to come out, and whispered: "I don't know, this news has just been delivered." ”
The castle lord took the parchment without hope, glanced at it and threw it aside, sat down in the chair in a dejected manner, and muttered: "What a bunch of useless rice buckets!" ”
The rock lion persuaded: "The castle lord doesn't need to be in a hurry, they will only be afraid that they will really escape from the desert grassland." There is a saying that the fallen leaves return to the roots, this hometown and homeland, when I wander outside for a long time, after all, I want to be able to come back to visit one day. And as long as they dare to appear in the desert steppe again, they will not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of your men. It's just that the old man couldn't take revenge with his own hands, which is quite regrettable! ”
The castle lord said: "I also know this, but I'm afraid that I will gradually forget about it then!" If you are afraid that you will not be able to slash them, the younger brother can 'raise' them on your behalf! ”
The rock lion smiled: "This is not simple, you ordered people to distribute their portraits to various substations, are you afraid that you will forget?" ”
The castle lord clapped his hands and said: "That's right, I only care about ordering people to search for suspicious traces, but I forgot to show their portraits to a few people, maybe one day when they are outside chic, they will automatically hit the knife edge of the nine-foot brother, and let the nine-foot brother personally end their dog's life!" ”
As soon as he mentioned it, the lord of the castle shouted to the samurai who had not yet left, "You, hurry up and send the portraits of those damned horse thieves!" ”
The portraits were sent over in the afternoon of the same day, so Xue Yue'er had another thing to do, that is, to keep practicing painting their portraits, in order to avenge the arrow when she saw them one day.
After resting, after Li Hao saw the portraits of the horse thieves, he glued their portraits to the black and hard puppets, and every punch was full of anger to take revenge on them. This time, he worked harder again, practicing boxing skills desperately.
In the same way, Yin Jill also grabbed the portrait drawn by Xue Yue'er and stuck it on the puppeteer, hitting it hard. Although he has always been unconvinced by Li Hao, who is younger than him, there are many things, and he can't help but take Li Hao's practice as a model. Even if he sometimes didn't want to, his father, the owner of Sand Eagle Castle, patted him on the head and told him to do it.
Taken internally and externally, the precious medicine is fully used, coupled with Xue Yue'er's good physique, and her internal strength is not shallow, in the past 20 days, Xue Yue'er has been able to practice some gentle tricks. This will make her a little happier, and she will no longer have to ask for everything, which is very uncomfortable, even if the maid is also a woman.
And if it was her Li Hao who was waiting for her, I was afraid that she would not have this idea, but would rather have difficulty moving. Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, and Li Hao, who hopes to find the Immortal Cave Mansion as soon as possible, will not stay longer.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and Xue Yue'er's wounds have been healed, only the three scars are a little shocking to look at, which also makes Xue Yue'er a little annoyed, because she already has four such scars on her body, and she is not very beautiful, but now she looks even uglier.
Therefore, every time she touched these scars, she couldn't help but become gloomy, depressed, and irritable. But when she saw Li Hao, she would immediately forcibly suppress these thoughts.
The number of times he is depressed is too much, Li Hao will always find out. This time, he saw Xue Yue'er lying on the bed gently caressing her scar and feeling angry, he walked over, slowly uncovered Xue Yue'er's hurriedly covered dress, gently stroked her arrow scar, shook his head and said: "Sister, don't be too sad, Uncle Nine Feet didn't expect them to return to their hometown after all, and they can't escape death!" Just looking at you covered in scars, my heart hurts! ”
Xue Yue'er blushed and threw his hand away, smiling, "As long as my ancient brother is okay, everything will be fine!" ”
Cowering in the quilt, Xue Yue'er looked at the tired Li Hao and said, "In the future, I will become ugly because of this, do you dislike me?" ”
Li Hao shook his head and said, "How come!" We have long made it clear that we will share weal and sorrow. Along the way, my sister has taken good care of me, how can I do such an ungrateful thing! ”
"Really, you have to remember what you said!"
Hearing Li Hao mention the old oath again, Xue Yue'er was still happy on her face, put aside the worries just now, and suddenly reached out to hug Li Hao's neck and hugged her tightly in her arms.
Li Hao was hugged by her and couldn't breathe, and said in a slurred voice: "Sister Shan, you want to suffocate me!" ”
Xue Yue'er woke up in shock, let go of her hands with a flushed face, looked sideways at his little face, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day in the martial arts training ground, Xue Yue'er finally began to practice hitting puppeteers and practicing this defensive external skill like Li Hao and them, but she didn't dare to be too strong yet, so as not to recur the old injury.
At this time, Li Hao no longer felt any pain when he hit the puppeteer, and it was no problem to be beaten with ordinary people's sticks for a while, but he still felt that his strength was not strong enough. In this short month, they can't practice the profound internal skills of the long stream, even if the castle master finds them some precious medicine to increase their strength.
Those legendary natural tonics are things that can be encountered but not sought, and they dare not hope for it as the main power of Sand Eagle Castle.
Seeing that Xue Yue'er had almost recovered and that her movements were no longer in trouble, Li Hao nodded and said, "We should be on the road tomorrow!" ”
Yin Jier stopped hitting the puppet, shook his head and said, "It's too early, Sister Shanyu is not done yet!" We have to train our bodies well, so that we can get more safety when we go out. ”
Although he is not very fluent in Li Hao's language, it is no longer a big problem to understand them.
Li Hao shook his head and said, "How can you do it at such a speed!" Time is running out, so we can't afford to wait. ”
Xue Yue'er nodded and said, "Then let's leave tomorrow!" ”
The rock lion shook his head and scolded: "Two little madmen who don't want to die! ”
Persuade, after all, I didn't persuade him, I am too familiar with this stubborn boy's temperament, but I don't want to waste my tongue anymore.
Sure enough, the castle lord and Yin Jier, who chattered and persuaded Li Hao and the others, finally lost the battle with a dry mouth, and could not save their decision to go on the road tomorrow.
The second time they left Shaying Fort on the road, Li Hao and they didn't even need to bring a translator, with Xue Yue'er here, the translation was not a problem.
Sent directly to the outside of the Sand Eagle Castle, parting, the castle owner once again reminded them to be careful all the way, don't be as careless as last time, this life, it is impossible to have a second one, and naturally there will be no regrets at that time.
Looking at their figures again and disappearing into the distance of the desert, the Lord of Sand Eagle Castle lost the moist feeling of his eyes last time, sighed, and rode back to his house slowly. It seems that with the departure of these lively and cute little dolls, he has aged a lot in an instant.
This time, whether it is Li Hao's little dolls, or the old rivers and lakes of Yanshi, they no longer dare to be as careless as before, sleeping soundly late at night, and when there is a stir, they will raise the spirit of twelve, and listen to whether there is an enemy attack. But this time, they didn't gain anything, and even so, they still didn't dare to take it lightly.
Six hundred miles away, said not far away, on the third day from the fort, finally arrived at the small town outside the valley.
Li Hao and the others walked cautiously all the way, but they did not encounter any attack, looking at their same nervous and tired appearance as them, Li Hao shook his head and smiled: "We have become the poor frightened birds this time!" ”
The rock lion shook his head and said, "The old man is not, you little dolls can't confuse the old man!" ”
Li Hao smiled and asked, "Really?" ”
The rock lion straightened his head and said proudly: "Of course! The old man is a hunter in intense pursuit, not a useless bird that is injured! ”
Li Hao and Xue Yue'er smiled bitterly, chewing the meat slices honestly, they couldn't do their own kung fu, so it was not good to defend themselves.
After being silent for a while, Li Hao raised his head and said, "Now that the Flower Valley is in front of you, who wants to go in with me and see what kind of scenery is inside?" ”
Xue Yue'er bowed her head a little shyly and said softly: "I just don't know if they want to take off their clothes for inspection, otherwise I want to accompany you in and try it!" ”
Yin Jier saw that Xue Yue'er didn't translate for him, so he had to ask himself, and when he heard this, he immediately shook his head: "This son doesn't have to suffer that sin, and he won't go to death!" I'm just waiting in this town. ”
Li Hao suddenly looked at the rock lion with a smile and said, "Uncle Nine Feet, if you can go in with me, I will worship you as a teacher, how about it?" ”
The rock lion waved his hand and did not fall: "You little doll, when the old man is the third-rate martial artist who can't accept apprentices?" I also begged you to apprentice, anyway, I have already gone out of the mountain to play for a while, and some of the things that I insisted on at the beginning have been given up, so why bother to find an apprentice who is so annoying as you! I didn't have to exhaust the old man to death, or cause the old man to be killed in the middle of the night. ”
Yin Jier learned to be obedient, his master opened his mouth, and he pestered Xue Yue'er to translate, after the translation, Xue Yue'er pouted and looked at him and said: "You kid is so lazy, you didn't study hard at the beginning, and now you are bothering this girl, it's really troublesome!" You can just find a translator and forget it! ”
Yin Jier smiled: "Don't look for it, how can they have Sister Shanyu's translation!" ”
Xue Yue'er gave him a roll of the eyes, thought for a while, raised her head and asked, "If a woman is disguised into the valley, what will they do if they find out?" ”
The rock lion smiled: "There is nothing wrong with this, there will be no violence, at most it will just kick you out, not even a beating." Because they also admire your courage to dare to go in and try, this 'pure body' is the key to entering the valley! ”
Xue Yue'er clapped her hands and said, "Really, what if I go with my ancient brother and just starve to death?" ”
The rock lion shook his head and smiled: "If you are afraid of starving to death, you will learn from the old man, don't go in!" Don't worry, starvation is not starvation, but there is this possibility of fainting from hunger, in short, you can't die! ”
What will it be like after 10 days of starvation? Will you be able to hold on? Xue Yue'er suddenly felt very excited, and nodded excitedly: "Brother Gu, I'll give it a try with you!" ”
This speech was simple, and Yin Jier nodded awkwardly and said, "Sister Shanyu is going, and this son is also going!" ”
Li Hao teased: "Courage is commendable! I just don't know who said it, and I won't go in if I am killed? ”
"Is there one? Who said that? I don't seem to hear it! Yin Jier looked left and right for a while, and suddenly laughed and pointed at the rock lion and said, "This son knows, it's the master!" ”
Originally, there were guests from other places at their table, which was eye-catching, and hearing his strange language from the local area and foreign places for a while became the focus of attention in the hotel.
The rock lion laughed: "You stinky boy, you are very dishonest!" Flamboyant, even better than that little doll! ”
After a while of laughter, they went into the store to rest, recuperate and wait for tomorrow's event.
didn't expect Yin Jier to go the same way, which was a bit unexpected by Li Hao, so last night, he declared that he must no longer call Xue Yue'er, who is dressed as a man, his sister, otherwise he will be rude to him.
These words made Yin Jier angry enough, but now that "the enemy is outnumbered", it is not good to use force, not to mention that although Li Hao's kung fu is not good, he is as slippery as a fox, and he has not touched a piece of his clothing after several pursuits, but has touched a lot of things on his body, and he is so angry that he wants to vomit blood.
Before entering the valley, Xue Yue'er became a little nervous and held Li Hao's hand, Li Hao patted her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, they come to take off your clothes, you just run outside!" Anyway, Uncle Nine Feet said that they didn't deliberately treat women. ”
Xue Yue'er chirped: "That's not ashamed to die, it's so serious!" ”
The horse gradually walked to the mouth of the valley, looking at the tall trees in front of the valley from a distance, lush green, and the long-lost mountain forest scenery, Li Hao and they couldn't help but feel a sigh of nostalgia.
There was still a mile away from the stone monument standing in front of the valley, and the three of Xue Yue'er began to dismount and walk, handing over the reins of the horses to the rock lion, which was to abide by the rules here.
Walking bare-handed, they did not carry the conspicuous swords with them, but only a simple change of clothes and a vegetarian diet that they could enjoy ten days later. Some of the eye-catching hidden weapons on their bodies, including the crescent moon, were temporarily handed over to the rock lion, and only those "hairpins" or something remained on their bodies, and some potions.
Walking forward slowly, looking at Li Hao's excited and expectant expression, Xue Yue'er was a little less panicked, raised her head slightly, and moved forward with her chest straight.
From afar, they saw that on the huge stone tablet erected at the mouth of the valley, there were several kinds of warning texts, and they were all that kind of majestic, solemn and restrained font, and the general domineering and uninhibited, delicate and elegant plaque, and it was a different realm. Outsiders enter the valley, just by looking at the words that enter the valley, they can also appreciate their indifferent state of mind of cultivating the Tao and not asking about foreign affairs.
There was no one on either side of the stele, just like the guards guarding the gangs and manors. Even so, Li Hao and the others didn't believe it, after they entered, there would be some powerful "cultivators" who stopped them for questioning.
Passing by the stone monument, Li Hao was not afraid and broke straight in; Xue Yue'er took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and followed; Yin Jir looked at the stele, raised his neck, gritted his teeth and advanced.
A hundred steps into the valley, a simple small wooden house is quietly located there, inside, slowly walked out of a half-old gray-clothed cultivator, tall, with a bright look in his eyes, at a glance is a first-class Jianghu expert.
"Welcome the three to the Valley of Flowers! I didn't expect that there were three young boys who came in this time, so you must not have come to cultivate, but just to visit. It's not forbidden to do this, as long as you follow the rules of Longevity Valley. Before entering the valley, you have to let the old man test it first. ”
Li Hao walked the etiquette of the rivers and lakes over there, and said with a smile: "This is natural! ”
Xue Yue'er looked surprisingly calm in her eyes, and she didn't tremble and panic again.
The old man approached slowly, looked Li Hao up and down for a while, stretched out two thin palms, and stroked up and down for a while. Even if I didn't take off my clothes, I didn't let go of my crotch and other parts!
Seeing that Xue Yue'er couldn't help but feel flustered for a while, she forcibly suppressed herself, and still couldn't help but want to turn around and escape.
After searching Li Hao, the old man nodded, and then looked at Xue Yue'er, who took a breath and stood quietly in front of the old man, ready to bear his "humiliation". Sure enough, the old man did not let go from the neck down, through the chest, lower abdomen, lower hips, thighs, and calves and backs.
