Despite Japan's small size and the highest density rate in modern cities in the world, some remote areas are still covered with vast forests, such as the sea of trees at the foot of Mt. Fuji, which are world-famous suicide destinations.

The other reckless forest sea, known as the Dark Valley by those in the know, has been surrounded by lofty mountains since ancient times, and few people have set foot in it. The old trees that have grown for many years are tall and vigorous, and the stacked covers weaken the sunlight in the sky like a huge umbrella, and only the occasional pillars of light in the canopy shine through, bringing a certain amount of brilliance to the dark forest. The ground is rocky, and the large blocks of earth and rocks are covered with thick moss, and are entangled with the bare curly roots, which are uneven and extremely difficult to walk. From time to time, there is a rustling sound between rocks, in the roots of a tree, or in a grass nest, and then a fat insect crawls out slowly, or a lizard, a squirrel, or something like a squirrel flashes quickly and alertly.

The air here is completely different from the air that is repeatedly breathed in the city, and it is filled with a thick and fresh smell, which makes people feel completely refreshed and refreshed when they smell it. The rustling of the surrounding wind blowing through the foliage, the murmuring of the stream rushing through the forest, and the crisp sound of birdsong from time to time, these natural sounds are not as disturbing as the noise of the city, but rather set off the quiet atmosphere in the woods.

A rapidly advancing figure flew through the forest, the thick trunks intercepted horizontally, the green vines that were coiled and hung, the odd-shaped roots that protruded and curled in the soil, and the loose rocks that were weak and weak, all the things in the forest that originally blocked the progress of the forest became tools for acceleration in front of this figure, pointing, moving, swinging, vertically, turning... A series of dazzling movements crossed a large distance between the forest and the sea in a blink of an eye.

As the figure progresses deeper, the surrounding trees become more and more lush, and the terrain becomes more rugged and precipitous, completely away from the human track.

Suddenly, the figure sighed softly, and the figure that was flying forward in the air turned over deftly and stood firmly on the thick branches of an ancient tree, listening intently, and his face changed drastically.

"It's so fast, it's coming in this direction."

Before Ye Ye could react, the sound he heard was already extremely close, and when he looked up, he saw that a tall figure had already crossed out from behind the tree at the end of his eyes, swept over his head, and disappeared into the distant forest sea in the blink of an eye.

Although it was only a glimpse, Ye Ye and the tall figure had already glanced at each other in a very short period of time, and they knew each other.

After a long while, with a long breath, Ye Ye let go of his clenched fists, and relaxed his tense spirit with a somewhat tired expression, not without fear in his heart.

"Hey, is this the strongest person in this world, the power of the invincible superhuman Wind Forest Temple Hayato?"

Although the figure just now was just an understatement and did not have any meaning, it made Ye Ye's martial artist instinct, who was caught off guard, boil irrepressibly, and subconsciously raised the strength of his whole body, just like a beast and another beast that was much stronger than it met in a narrow way, even if the beast was already full and just passing by lazily, the weaker beast had to be on guard. This has nothing to do with subjective will, it is purely a disparity in strength.

"It was a really unpleasant feeling, and it reminded me of how weak the child I felt in front of Furtenner."

"Recently, I seem to have slackened a little!"

Ye Ye's eyes drooped, and his right hand on the verdant folded bark pressed weakly, and the latent dark energy penetrated into the heart of the tree, and then the thick trunk surrounded by several people exploded and flew out, crashing to the ground and splashing countless mud spots, startling many birds, beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants.

After venting casually, Ye Ye eased the feeling of depression in his heart a little, and got up again and walked towards the center of the Dark Valley, only slightly deviating from the direction, so as not to collide head-on with the elders of Liang Shanbo.

In the distance, the tall giant-like Hayato of the Wind Forest Temple was racing forward while thinking about the young man he had just met.

(Well, I didn't expect to meet other people in such a remote place, just now that young man, it is rare to become an expert at a young age.) But looking at the physical characteristics, it matches the person mentioned by Jianxing and Xiao Jian not long ago, is it really a member of the darkness? So, you're also here to find Ogata Kid? ）

"Woo, Elder, have you arrived, I can't stand it and I'm about to vomit!" On the elder's broad back, Shirahama Kanichi grabbed the elder's shoulders so as not to be thrown off in the high-speed advance, and he felt that he was about to lose his breath after a few hours of jolting, and he could only ask this question that he had asked several times weakly.

"Hahaha, Xiao Jian, hold on a little longer, just keep your mouth shut and hold on to me, young people don't have the stamina at all."

The elder put aside his thoughts and let out a hearty laugh, but he sighed slightly when he remembered the purpose of this time, not knowing whether his decision was right or wrong.

(Xiao Jian, you must hold on, otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Miyu when I go back!) ）

But not to talk about the situation of Liang Shanbo and the two, after Ye Ye set off again, he quickened his pace and went at full speed, and came to the edge of the pool formed by a mountain stream and waterfall in the forest, there was a small wooden house in the open space, and the wood on the exterior had traces of sun and rain, and it had obviously existed for a long time.

Without knocking on the door, Ye Ye raised his hand to push the door and walked in. There is not much decoration in the wooden house, but the wooden shelves along the four walls are densely packed with Buddha statues of different sizes and expressions, whether merciful or solemn or angry or fulfilling, and the ground is scattered with various carved knives or half-finished Buddha statues. And in the middle of the wooden house, a young man with a ponytail and no more than his early twenties was engrossed in carefully pondering a statue of King Ming in front of him, not distracted by Ye Ye's arrival at all.

And Ye Ye didn't bother silently, he casually found a place to sit down on the spot, and looked at the young man carving with interest.

"Whew!"

After a while, the young man carved the last stroke, put down the carving knife, let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and spoke first: "I didn't expect you to come here, what a rare guest, my disciple." ”

"Ha, what I said made the apprentice honestly frightened, my teacher, Ogata Ichisai."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how much you've grown, it's really curious." Ogata Ichijinsai turned his head to look at Ye Ye, his eyes flashing with danger: "Perhaps, it's time for the teacher to accept it." ”

Ye Ye's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he sternly refused: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that the apprentice is still some distance away from your expectations, Master, and I still don't appreciate it." ”

"Oh, since you're so determined, forget it this time." Ogata Ichishamisai said with regret, and then spoke meaningfully, "However, I think that one day, we will put aside everything and have a battle without any scruples." ”

"Then let's wait until that day." Although Ye Ye is also itching in his heart, but now his strength is enough to threaten Ogata Ichijinsai, if it really fights, it will not be a mentoring match between master and apprentice but a life-and-death struggle, and one side will fall forever, which is not what he wants to see.

"Let's not mention this for the time being, Master, do you know who I saw on the way here?" Diverging the topic, Ye Ye showed an interesting smile on his face.

"Huh?" Ogata Ichigamisai raised his eyebrows, and there was a slight guess in his heart.

Ye Ye had no intention of selling Guanzi, and the next moment he revealed the answer: "I saw the legendary invincible superman - Hayato of Fenglin Temple!" ”
