154 The road is uneven
I went home late yesterday, and as a result, the plan of the third watch was in vain, and I didn't dare to promise it easily.
Double is inevitable, and if you don't see it before dark, don't wait.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The group originally planned to leave the next day, but because Ji Yougu and Yin Zizhang were vaguely showing signs of breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, they calculated the time and stayed by the cold pool for two more days.
With the help of the cold pool water and the ice decination spirit stone, the two finally advanced smoothly the next night, Di Chanshang saw that the two junior disciples were about to catch up with him, and he didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't dare to relax in the cold pool for a moment in the past few days in the valley.
Although several people have made significant progress in their cultivation, they have been delayed for three days, and the time for the rest of the journey has become more and more tense, and they dare not set up camp and rest as soon as it gets dark every day after setting off again, and even spend several nights in a hurry.
At night, there were not a few beasts and even demon beasts in the mountains, Zhu Zhu tried to get up and explore the way for them, and when he was very tired, he lay on Yin Zizhang's back and fell asleep, and Shi Yinglu temporarily took over the work of exploring the way.
With the two of them here, they carefully avoided the difficult demon beasts and monks along the way, and traveled much faster than originally estimated. Eighteen days after leaving Fencheng, they finally managed to get out of Xuanwu Mountain and enter the western boundary of the Jinqian Continent.
Di Chanshang looked at the still endless primeval forest outside the mountain, and scolded: "His grandmother's! Tree tree tree, all day long, what you see is either a demon beast or a tree, which makes Lao Tzu tired! Lao Tzu hates it when he sees a tree now! β
His temperament is out of breath, and it is rare for him to calm down and cultivate, so he built the foundation more than ten years ago, and he is still lingering in the middle of the foundation building. If it weren't for the stimulation of Yin Zizhang's cultivation speed against the sky, maybe he would still be in the early stage of foundation building with peace of mind.
I have to say that Di Chanshang obviously belongs to the type with extremely high talent, but limited hard work.
"On the other side of this forest are the five western countries." Ji Yougu also felt that it was a bit boring to cross the mountains and mountains along the way, but fortunately, he finally approached the goal.
Shi Yinglu and Yin Zizhang didn't feel much, one of them was simple-minded and the other was diligent to the point of perversion, they had long been accustomed to the boredom of cultivation, and walking through the mountains and forests for more than ten days was nothing to them.
It was Zhu Zhu who felt the most uncomfortable, although the senior brothers and sisters had tried their best to take care of her. But the almost non-stop journey still made her unbearable, and what she hoped for most now was to be able to lie down and sleep well.
Yin Zizhang was also a little unbearable when he saw her looking like she was going to die, and took the initiative to propose to find a place to spend the night and then continue on his journey.
Zhu Zhu went into the small tent and fell asleep, and Shi Yinglu was in charge of the vigil. Di Chanshang and the others each took out a huge stone bucket from their storage bags and jumped into it to meditate and cultivate.
These three large stone buckets were specially made for them by Shi Yinglu during the few days they were cultivating in the cold pool, and the buckets were filled with cold pool water and ice spirit stones. It is convenient for them to sit in it and practice while resting and staying.
Flags were planted around the camp, and a triple protective array was arranged, so that idle demon beasts could not break in, so Shi Yinglu sat alone by the fire and meditated. In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting cries in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and closerβit seemed that someone was being hunted down. All the way in their direction.
It's not surprising that they have a bonfire here, which stands out in the forest.
Shi Yinglu opened his eyes and saw an old man and a young man staggering to the edge of the camp.
This old man and young man are all monks, the old man is probably in the middle stage of foundation building, and the little girl beside him is only about the second layer of the qi refining period. They did come to the firelight to ask for help, but they didn't expect to run over and find that there was only a surprisingly beautiful female monk sitting next to the campfire, and her real age didn't look very old, compared to their pursuers, it was really not enough to see.
The old man found the array flags around the camp. Knowing that without Shi Yinglu's permission, I was afraid that they would not be able to enter the camp, the old man sent the little girl forward. He pleaded: "This fairy, please save the old disciple." The target of those people in the back is the old decay, and the old decay has nothing to do with them. Please be merciful and give the old man a place to hide, and save her life. β
The little girl turned around and hugged the old man hard and cried, "Don't, even if I die, I will be with the master!" β
The old man hurriedly said: "As a teacher is an alchemist, they may not necessarily kill me, but if you fall into their hands, you will die!" Listen to Master! β
Shi Yinglu is actually the softest of the few fellow disciples, but she is worried about Qiu Baoyang's advice to them, not only are there many robbers outside, but there are also many liars, don't trust others easily, so she didn't decide how to deal with it for a while.
The two masters and apprentices pulled twice, and the pursuers behind arrived.
A bearded man walked out of the shadows of the bushes with four companions with a sneer, and said, "You don't need to push me, neither of you is allowed to leave!" β
These five pursuers are all cultivators in the foundation building period, and the bearded man led by him has already reached the late stage of foundation building. Several people slowly approached the old and the young, their eyes flashing with murderous intent.
The old man pushed the little girl behind him and said; "The old man has no intention of breaking your affairs, as long as you are willing to let the old master and apprentice live, the old man is willing to swear with his heart that he will never divulge everything he saw today to anyone!"
The bearded man sneered: "Only when the two of you die, can we rest assured, if we want to complain, we can blame you for being too unlucky!" β
"Lao Yu is a second-grade alchemist registered in the Tin Kingdom, and you will have endless troubles after killing Lao Yu. Even if you're not afraid of getting into trouble, this bit of alchemy will always be of some use to you. The old man straightened up, his expression tinged with a bit of pride.
The expressions of the five people on the other side changed, and they seemed to have some scruples, and they all looked at the big man led by him and asked him to decide.
The bearded man pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, today's events are not trivial, they must die!" β
The old man turned to look at Shi Yinglu, desperately pleading silently, and pushed the little girl behind him in her direction, as if he still wanted to beg her to save the little girl's life.
The little girl's eyes were full of tears, and although she was frightened, she still hugged the old man and refused to let go.
Shi Yinglu wavered, she couldn't do anything to see death and not save her, just as she was thinking about how to let the old man and the young man enter the camp, the bearded man also noticed her.
He originally wanted to intimidate the people in the camp not to meddle in their affairs, but when he saw Shi Yinglu, he forgot anything.
Shi Yinglu's charming and delicate face under the bonfire was really too enchanting and seductive, not only the bearded man was stunned, but several companions around him were also distracted.
"I didn't expect there to be such a beauty in this barren mountain and wilderness......" The bearded man reluctantly retracted his mind, and secretly said that if he brought such a beauty back to his master, it would be a great achievement.
However, he is cautious by nature, and he also knows that this beauty is by no means simple, she has already built a foundation at a young age, and the magic circle around the camp should not be underestimated, but he is afraid that there are some origins. (To be continued)
