Chapter 1015: Waking up in the middle of the night
With the passage of time, the influence of Zhang Jiutian and others on those people will weaken day by day, but Xue Yin's influence on those people will continue to increase, because of his insistence on revenge for Lin Xuanzhong, Xue Yin's prestige in the army has surpassed Zhang Jiutian, and he has become the person who can really succeed Lin Xuanzhong.
At present, except for some seriously injured personnel who are still recuperating from their injuries, half of the other personnel are busy capturing Tianyu Kingdom, and half are busy training. In fact, the intention of those main generals to compete for the elite is not in the elite itself, but in the method of training the elite. Facts have proved that the footwork created by Lin Xuanzhong is indeed suitable for the battlefield.
At the end of a major battle, the Blues' hierarchy also discovered that the soldiers were better suited to short weapons after mastering their footwork, so the Blues began to work day and night to create swords suitable for soldiers. In addition, the facts also proved that what Lin Xuanzhong said before was right, that kind of footwork was created for ordinary soldiers, and it was not suitable for those high-level martial cultivators to learn, so for some high-level martial cultivators, they could only envy the apprentices that Lin Xuanzhong had accepted before.
On the day of the decisive battle with Rao's army, Lin Xuanzhong's apprentices showed great might, and many of them performed well, and these people were distributed in various departments of the army, as Lin Xuanzhong's apprentices, they would not forget Lin Xuanzhong's cultivation of them. It's just that Lin Xuanzhong has died, and there are no people in the army who are highly accomplished in the Eight Desolation Steps, so they can only practice by themselves in the future.
More than a month later, the situation in the western border of the blue country has stabilized, and all aspects are developing in a good direction. Now the only thing related to Lin Xuanzhong is Xue Yin's revenge, if Lin Xuanzhong knew how miserable the situation of the civilians of Tianyu Kingdom was now, maybe Lin Xuanzhong would consider going back again, but now Lin Xuanzhong is bent on going south.
After a little further on, there are two forks in the main road that has been deviating to the right, one facing due south and the other facing due east, but judging from the width of the two forks, it is obvious that the main road is facing due east.
After determining that the fork in the road due east was the main road, Lin Xuanzhong slowly thought that the road in the south direction must be impassable, so he had to go around, but when he looked south, his eyes were blurry, and he didn't know what place was ahead.
After thinking about why he wanted to take a detour, Lin Xuanzhong was curious about some affairs in the south, and he didn't think too much about it, and as soon as he pulled the reins, Lin Xuanzhong simply stepped on the southbound road.
After running for more than ten miles, a village hidden in a forest leaf was revealed, although there was no human figure in sight, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to try his luck there and see if he could find someone to ask for directions.
Not long after, stopping at the entrance of the village, Lin Xuanzhong got off his horse and wanted the horse to eat some weeds on the side of the road. At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong looked around, the whole village was lush, not to mention the green trees, the green grass grew to almost as tall as a tree, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time. It's just that the road under my feet seems to be often walked, and some footprints are very clear.
Waiting for the horse to eat, Lin Xuanzhong led the horse and continued to walk, the more he went forward, the more he felt that there were still people living in the village, because not only there were some footprints on the road, but also the weeds on both sides had traces that had been cut recently.
While walking, the whole village is really not big, there are about 20 families, except for the rumors, there is no life. Such a quiet atmosphere made Lin Xuanzhong think that there was no one living in the village, but people often passed by.
"Who is it?" Standing in front of a house and looking around, there were some sounds in the grass not far away, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was startled, turned around and looked at it directly. As a result, when he saw that the blades of grass were moving, there might be something there, so Lin Xuanzhong asked tentatively.
"My lord spare my life," perhaps the man hiding in the grass was timid, and a relatively childish-sounding voice came directly from inside. Then the blades of grass moved, and Lin Xuanzhong saw two young men getting up and coming out of it.
"Be careful," It's just that the two teenagers were just about to come out, and a small fierce beast suddenly popped out from a place not far from them, and pounced on the two teenagers from the side, and Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly reminded him.
Then, when the two teenagers found out, they had no time to hide. But the distance was too far, and Lin Xuanzhong couldn't do it even if he wanted to help.
What Lin Xuanzhong didn't expect was that just when he thought that a young man would definitely have an accident, one of them raised his hand, and the long sword that suddenly appeared slashed from top to bottom, hitting the fierce beast.
"Woo," the beast fell directly to the ground, silent.
The young man's neat movements made Lin Xuanzhong see at a glance that the other party was a martial artist, and he also had some ability.
"You two are villagers here?" Seeing the fierce beast falling to the ground motionless, Lin Xuanzhong's gaze naturally returned to the two of them.
"Adult, my name is Xiaosan, his name is Xiaosi, and my brothers are both villagers, I don't know if the adults want to settle down here?"
"From here, go all the way south, can you go to the former border of Yang?"
"No, the Poison Dragon Ridge in the south is a dangerous place, and you can't get through there," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was about to go south, another teenager hurriedly shook his head.
"What's the danger in Poison Dragon Ridge?"
"There is a thick poisonous barrier outside the Poison Dragon Ridge, and there is a big snake inside, which is said to be extremely big, as long as you encounter that snake, you will definitely die. ”
"How big is that?"
"No one knows, grandpa said that everyone who saw the big snake was eaten by the big snake. ”
"How far is Poison Dragon Ridge from here?"
"About a hundred miles. ”
"Aren't you scared to live here, by the way, how many people live in this village?"
"The big snake has been staying in the Poison Dragon Ridge, if you don't come out, if you don't go in, it's fine, and now there are only three of us and my grandfather in the village. ”
"Why don't you leave the village?"
"We don't have anywhere to go, and grandpa is too old to walk and doesn't want to leave here, so we stay here with grandpa. ”
"Why did you hide in the grass just now?"
"We were afraid. ”
"How often do Wu Xiu pass by here?"
"There are some treasure hunters who pass through the village or settle down in the village. ”
"What treasure can I find?"
"Grandpa said that the closer you are to the Poison Dragon Ridge, the more treasures there are, and those are the ones who are going to go on an adventure to hunt for treasures!"
"I see. ”
"Are you going on a treasure hunt?"
"En," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong thought with some surprise that there would be martial arts in the south. If you think about it, if there are treasures there, there will definitely be fierce beasts, and it is easy to get into trouble if you ride a horse inside. Looking back at the horse next to him, it seemed that he was going to end up with this horse.
"My horse is for you, I'm going to the south," thanks to this horse in the past half a month, otherwise it would not be only a hundred miles away from the Poison Dragon Ridge.
"My lord, we'll take care of it for you, and when the adult comes back, go directly to the place to find us to get it," I don't know what Lin Xuanzhong meant by suddenly giving them horses, a young man responded with a nervous face.
"Then take care of it," I didn't want to say anything more to the two teenagers in front of me, after knowing why the previous fork in the road led to the east, while it was still early, Lin Xuanzhong just wanted to go to the south as soon as possible.
"Okay lord, we will definitely help you take care of your horse," the young man who was talking to Lin Xuanzhong said in a very respectful tone, and when he saw Lin Xuanzhong handing the reins to him, he immediately mustered up the courage to take it.
"Thank you," After handing over the horse to the other party, Lin Xuanzhong said a simple thanks, and then turned around and walked south along a fork in the road beside him, with a hurried momentum.
On the other side, the two teenagers were a little confused about Lin Xuanzhong being in such a hurry, but they didn't say anything in the end. After watching Lin Xuanzhong leave, the two teenagers put the corpse of the fierce beast they had just killed on horseback, and then walked from the grass to the depths of the village.
At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong was almost out of the village, the road was wider, and there were still rut marks, and this road was indeed often walked.
After making sure that there was someone in front of him, Lin Xuanzhong remembered what the two teenagers said just now about the Poison Dragon Ridge. If you didn't guess wrong, the Poison Dragon Ridge in front was the reason why they couldn't get Bai Shuilian's rescue in time when they were trapped in Yangguo. If there was no Poison Dragon Ridge, it might be another ending now, so out of recognition of the past, Lin Xuanzhong planned to go to the Poison Dragon Ridge to see it.
Walking is not a difficult task for a sixth-order martial cultivator, and it seems that there is no danger near the village, but there are some people in the forest in front of him, but this kind of road has not been walked less before, and Lin Xuanzhong knows that he is scaring himself many times. If there is real danger, you can't avoid it.
Half a day later, Lin Xuanzhong found a place to stay in the forest, and then ate some dry food that he bought when he went out of the city. As soon as it got dark, leaning against a tree, Lin Xuanzhong was ready to sleep.
The surroundings were very quiet, it could be very safe, or it could be extremely dangerous, sitting cross-legged next to the tree, as the last trace of heat dissipated, Lin Xuanzhong's mind completely calmed down.
When Lin Xuanzhong opened his eyes because of a little movement around him, it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly. The trees in the forest were too tall and dense, and there was only a sparse moonlight in the forest. Since there was no fire, Lin Xuanzhong planned to blend into the night and spend tonight peacefully as before, but unfortunately things were not as simple as Lin Xuanzhong expected.
It may be in the middle of the night, something like a drop of water drops on Lin Xuanzhong's head, and the cool feeling woke up Lin Xuanzhong, who was healing his wounds, and after opening his eyes in an instant, Lin Xuanzhong reached out and touched the things on his head, and the slimy feeling made Lin Xuanzhong feel nauseous. Hurriedly withdrew his hand and put it in front of his nose, and there was a strange smell.
"Bang bang bang ......" When Lin Xuanzhong felt that something was not right, there was a sound of flapping wings from above.
