"Ahem......"

With a light cough, the girl suddenly moved closer to the young man, and her eyes cautiously scanned the surroundings several times, and when she saw that there were no outsiders around, she said a sentence with a little vigilance, "Senior brother, can you hide this from you?"

The young man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after stopping for a few seconds, he moved again, and said in a low voice as he walked, "If you can't hide it, you have to hide it, there is such a big thing, our two little disciples can't afford it at all, while Senior Sister Zhao hasn't found out yet, let's go down the mountain quickly, as long as the class is handed over to them, then it has nothing to do with you and me, if the head of the door interrogates it, just say that you don't know, and let them take responsibility." ”

"But if you do this, then Senior Sister Zhao, won't they ......" Liu frowned slightly, and the girl suddenly felt a little unbearable, and coughed in a hurry, so she simply covered her lips with her hands.

The young man beside him raised his eyebrows, and after his steps stopped, he suddenly turned around and pressed the other party's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Senior sister, don't be stupid, you still have the heart to worry about others at this juncture?

"Huh, expelled from the division, ahem......"

As soon as these four words came out, the girl was obviously panicked, and the light cough turned into a heavy cough, and her pale face was full of undisguised nervousness, "Ahem, teacher...... Senior brother, there is ...... Is it that serious?"

"Is it that serious? You're so embarrassed to ask!" the young man frowned, looked around cautiously, and said with a solemn expression, "Don't forget, that thing is the life of our entire Divine Battalion, except for the secrets in the sword mound, it is the most important thing, even if we sell it for a thousand or even ten thousand times, we can't get that thing." ”

"Yes...... But I always feel sorry for Senior Sister Zhao and them if I do this. ”

"Oh, then you tell the truth to the master, so that you and I are swept out of the house, and you are worthy of me?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I was just afraid of ......"

"Everything has been done, what are you afraid of!" The girl still wanted to defend herself, but was interrupted by the young man and shook her shoulder vigorously, as if threatening the other party, "Now we are like two grasshoppers tied to a rope, you can't fly and you can't jump on me, if you want to tell the truth and go to death, then I won't be accompanied, if you want to live, you have to listen to me obediently, remember?"

"But ......"

"It's nothing!" Seeing that the girl was still challenging the limit of her patience, the young man seemed to be impatient, and pushed the other party hard, almost pushing the girl down the mountain, "Hmph, if you want to die, then I will fulfill you now, if you want to live, hold it back honestly for me, rot this secret in my stomach, and talk to me!"

"I ......" the girl looked frightened, and she didn't know whether she was frightened by the other party or blown by the mountain wind behind her, her back was full of cold sweat, and she was paralyzed on the ground and trembled, trembling, "I...... I want to live. ”

"Hmph, if you want to live, go down the mountain with me immediately, and listen to me in everything!" the young man threw down a sentence coldly, and after speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the girl behind him, but he walked away.

It's so ungraceful that he pushed a weak woman to the edge of the cliff without even helping her, so she just walked away regardless of it.

Seeing the young man leaving, the girl who was paralyzed on the ground had both heartache and struggle in her heart, and hesitated for a while, but in the end she shamelessly chose Mingzhe to protect herself and shirk her responsibility.

"Senior brother, senior brother, you wait for me, I'll go down the mountain with you. She went up in pursuit, and soon joined the boy in front of her, and walked down the hill together.

When the figures of the two disappeared, Zhou Nian slowly walked out of the shadows, holding the melon seed he got from Xu Fengnian in his hand, and muttered secretly in his heart, "Hiss...... It's weird, could it be that the important thing they talked about, could it be this? It can be related to life, it seems that this gadget is really not simple, well, it is indeed time to investigate. ”

Having made up his mind, Zhou Nian naturally didn't care what the two people behind him were going to, walked with them, and went straight to the back door of the quenching hall.

With the walking tracks of the two people in front of him, Zhou Nian finally had a general direction when he looked for the entrance of the Quenching Hall, and after galloping for more than five minutes, he finally stopped on a flat ground overgrown with weeds.

The mountain behind the barracks has always been rugged and twists and turns, it is not easy to find such a flat land, the whole ground is paved with green bricks, staggered and built on each other, the rules are neat, although the place is not big, but the repair ground is flat, the tall plane trees are planted all around, since Zhou Nian's side began to count, there are about more than a hundred, each plane tree is as thick as a bucket, I think it has been growing for many years, into a horseshoe shape to surround the surroundings, only in the gap there is a sheep intestine path, straight to a certain place on the mountainside.

Looking up at the sheep intestine path, at the end of the road, a stone gate stood up.

On both sides of the stone gate, there is a burly guard, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, holding a red tasseled spear, standing straight and straight, with a high head, giving people an inexplicable coercion.

There have always been very few guards in the back mountain, but no matter how few, it is also the elite of the many guards in the god barracks, and the wine bags and rice bags that can only show a numerical advantage at the front door are obviously different, these guards in the back mountain can control the power of life and death, if outsiders break in easily, they don't have to tell the master, they can be cut first and then played, in order to eliminate the thief.

The footsteps stopped for a while, Zhou Nian looked at the two guards in front of him, mobilized his soul power and carefully perceived the overall strength of the other party, although it was not too strong, but it was also compared with someone, if it was a person at the martial arts level, it was easy to say, but if a cultivator who changed the quenching stage came to break through, I am afraid that he would not even be able to enter the door of others.

With a light flip of his palm, Zhou Nian was about to raid and stun the two guards, but at this moment, the originally closed stone door opened inexplicably, and the sound of the rumbling shook the mountains, the dust cleared up, and a column suddenly walked out of the hole.

"Line up, don't get separated, if anyone is naughty, my sister won't leave you food tonight, do you remember?"

"Remembered. "The voice is neat, but slightly immature.

Zhou Nian took a closer look at the orderly team, where is this the regular army that the Quenching Hall should have, it is clearly like a ragtag army that Mr. Teaching took his students out for a spring outing.

The members of the team, all children, the oldest is only twelve, the youngest is only four years old, and his walking is still unsteady, but he can follow out.

The leader of the team is a sixteen-year-old girl in white, with snow-white skin, playful and moving, the fair-skinned wrist gently points to the finger, when she raises her eyebrows and smiles, there are two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, and the two white little tiger teeth seem to have a provocative meaning.

Her name is Murong Xue, and she is one of the seven inner disciples of the master of the Quenching Hall of the Divine Battalion, the Divine Battalion has been fighting for the matter of the Sword Shrine for nearly a hundred years, patronizing the reputation of having no practical effect, but ignoring the cultivation of talents, the overall strength has declined, but the Quenching Hall is full of talents.

Nominally speaking, although the Quenching Hall is under the direct jurisdiction of the Divine Barracks, with years of development and growth, the overall strength of the disciples in the hall is now far beyond the disciples of the Divine Barracks, and there is a tendency to stand up for the mountain gate and go out independently.

A group of children were lined up according to their height, the short ones were in the front, and the tall ones were in the back, Murong Xue stood in the middle of the side of the team, and when she reached the sheep intestine path, she suddenly ordered the team to stop, and stretched out her finger and pointed to the plane trees not far away, "Children, today's topic is to exercise the ability to gather, since my quenching hall is closely related to "fire", it is natural to act with the tools of blowing fire, have you seen those plane trees?" I'm going to test you now, and each of you will go there and break a sycamore branch and make a good blowtorch, and whoever does it the best will be rewarded with tonight's chicken legs. ”

"Chicken thighs?

"Haha, yes, yes, there's chicken legs to eat. ”

"Get up, tonight's chicken leg is mine!"

......

Children are children after all, a little delicious food is enough to make them eager to try, their interest is high, they keep arguing, and a few of them even droop out greedily, swallowing saliva and waiting for orders, Murong Xue who saw it on the side just wanted to laugh.

Although this group of children is small, they already have the concept of "sense of honor", eating chicken legs is not the main purpose, the key is that when you hold the chicken legs to show your peers after victory, the feeling of feasting, the worship on other people's faces, is the greatest recognition of your whole person.

This is the so-called innocence, which is completely different from adults, in addition to envy and recognition after good things are in hand, there is no jealousy and hatred, and this simple emotion will gradually be shattered with age.

"Ahem......" Holding back the smile on her face, Murong Xue suddenly coughed lightly, and her jade arm slowly raised and then fell quickly, and shouted in a low voice, "Begin!"

At the beginning of a sentence, at least seven or eight children rushed out first, and after a closer look, they were all older in the team, as they grew older, they obviously had the consciousness of "rushing", and when they rushed to those plane trees, they picked those thick branches, after all, the thicker the branches, the easier it was to dig up the gaps, and the depth of the leap was like a few little monkeys climbing a tree, and they quickly broke off the branches that they thought they were satisfied with.
