Chapter 38 - The First Sight
Half an hour passed quickly, and the chairman pushed the door out of the room, raised his eyebrows at Chi Mudie and said, "Let's go, the capable." β
Chi Mudie had no choice but to get up and follow him to the trial cave after the martial arts training ground, Lin Mumu looked at their backs and asked Chu Bai beside him curiously: "Eh, Brother Chu Bai, why do I think the president likes to make things difficult for Fluttershy every time?"
Hatsubai sighed, "He's taking it too seriously, and if Fluttershy's brother knows, he'll be happy." β
At this time, I only heard a scream from Chi Mudie in the trial cave, and several people stood up worriedly and looked in that direction, only Sha Xiaoliang showed a smug smile, and sat on the ground without moving.
After a while, the guild leader swaggered out of the trial cavern, and a strange buzzing sound was coming from the cavern behind him. When the president walked up to them, Hatsubai frowned and asked, "What good have you done?"
The president smirked, "It's nothing, I just want them to overcome the fear in their hearts." β
Chu Bai shook his head and sighed, "How do I feel that you want Chi Muyan to ask you for more task bonuses?"
The president's face changed when he heard this, and he threatened everyone: "You are not allowed to complain to him, in the next three days, there are still many assessments waiting for you, if you want to pass successfully, you have to listen to me for now!"
Chu Bai helplessly held his forehead, "Why do I think you are getting smaller and smaller?"
The president put on an innocent expression and smiled at Chu Bai: "Because I am still childlike!"
Chu Bai didn't want to say anything about him anymore, and walked towards the trial cave, and said in his heart: "Let Chi Muyan personally clean you up." β
But he heard the president shouting behind him, "Eh, why are you going?
Chu Baitou didn't reply to him and said: "I just went to the door of the cave and waited, someone was injured and came out to be treated in time, I don't want the Emperor and the three major city lords to see their children injured three days later." β
Lin Mumu and Guihai brothers and sisters also followed Chubai to the door of the cave worriedly, and waited anxiously for a while, only to see Chi Mudie running out of the cave filled with white smoke with his head in his hands, followed by the phantom smoke bear of the president.
As soon as Chi Mudie came out of the cave, when he saw Shi Ruo standing outside, he threw himself into his arms, and said with a crying voice: "Brother Shi Ruo, there are a lot of big bees in the cave that have been put in by the president, but they scared me to death!"
When he returned to the sea, he held her in his arms, touched her head and comforted her softly, and Hatsubai frowned and looked at the president, "Big bee?"
The president also walked over and pointed to the Phantom Smoke Bear beside him, "That's just an illusion of the Phantom Smoke Bear's most feared thing in their hearts made out of the smoke, don't blame me!"
After listening to the president's words, the Phantom Smoke Bear expressed his reluctance to carry the black cauldron, so he also stretched out a bear paw to point at the president, and whined a few times, as if he was complaining to everyone that "he made me do this".
Everyone looked at these two living treasures who accused each other a little crying and laughing, at this time, Sha Xiaoliang suddenly pushed Lin Mumu away from behind, and glanced at Chi Mudie with disdain, "Hmph! A few bees will scare you like this, it seems that the sister of our famous Chi City Lord is nothing great, but she is just a coward hiding in someone else's arms, I don't believe that these smoke can make such a terrifying thing." β
After that, Sand Xiaoliang walked into the cave filled with white smoke, Phantom Smoke Bear snorted dissatisfiedly, took out its huge pipe, and blew some white smoke into the cave, and after a while, there were a few heart-rending screams from the cave, Phantom Smoke Bear sat at the entrance of the cave with satisfaction, and patted his belly with a bear paw.
Everyone was amused by the Phantom Smoke Bear's movements, and the three girls leaned back and forth, and several of them laughed and laughed, but found that Chu Bai's face suddenly changed, and shouted for the Phantom Smoke Bear to quickly put away the smoke, and he also rushed into the cave.
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then they also found something abnormal, only to see the bottom layer of the white smoke produced by the phantom smoke bear, and gradually filled with a layer of black smoke out, the four teenagers outside the cave all heard Chu Bai talk about the demonic energy, and immediately understood the seriousness of the situation, and immediately put away their smiles and looked into the cave worriedly, and the phantom smoke bear also took out his pipe and quickly put the white smoke back.
However, the strange thing is that when the phantom smoke bear took back all the white smoke, the black smoke at the bottom also disappeared, and after Chu Bai who rushed into the cave looked around carefully, he didn't find anything unusual, only Sha Xiaoliang sat on the ground with a frightened expression.
Chu Bai picked up the sand boy on the ground, carefully checked around her, and found nothing abnormal, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and swept the sand boy from head to toe with purified white light, and then took her out of the cave.
After Sha Xiaoyan followed Chubai out of the cave, she was surrounded by three girls, and asked her if she was injured, but she impatiently shook off their hands, and said fiercely, "You don't need to be pretended", and then walked straight to the wooden house where they lived, and then closed the door heavily.
Several girls glanced at each other, shrugged helplessly, Lin Mumu pouted and said, "After she went to the mouth of the sea, she shouted so badly, did she become angry?"
After the three girls whispered a few words, they laughed sneeringly, and the president looked at Hatsubai, and seeing that his expression also softened, he shook his head at the president, indicating that there was nothing abnormal.
After the president nodded slightly, he shouted to the remaining children: "Okay, okay, now continue the assessment, the next one, return to the sea when Ruo!"
--
In the early morning of the same day, Chi Muyan was making arrangements for Hong Jiu'er and Hong Shiyan in the long yellow sand of the desert before leaving, but suddenly received the spiritual letter of Chubai, Chi Muyan's originally happy expression suddenly froze, and then sighed, shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"I knew the president would play new tricks, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, alas...... But I can finally let them meet. β
Hong Jiu'er opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"
While leading the two of them across the sand dunes, Chi Muyan replied casually: "When is the president reliable?" But in this way, you can directly send the two of you to the Tumen Inn, in the past five years of running around with me, you should have learned a lot of things, and the way forward is up to you." β
Hong Jiu'er looked down at the yellow sand under her feet, and whispered, "Finally, even you have to leave?"
Chi Muyan climbed a sand mountain, looked back at Hong Jiu'er and Hong Shiyan, and showed an encouraging smile, "Aren't you very uneasy? When I first took over Phantom Wing City, I felt like this. But now you're still two people, when I had to send Fluttershy to Penglai Island, in the middle of the night, I lived alone in an empty mansion and didn't even have anyone to talk to, and then one of my father's old subordinates was afraid that if I continued like that, he would get sick, so he recommended that I go to Lingjian Mountain with his son. After three months of training in the mountains, the night before I was going back to Phantom Wing City, Master Hong took me to the hut where he lived and talked with me all night. In the end, Master Hong told me that in everyone's life, there will be shackles that imprison oneself, some shackles can be broken, and some are destined to carry a lifetime, even if those shackles that must be carried can imprison your body, don't let it imprison your heart. Everyone will have a road destined to go alone, if you lose the motivation to move forward on this road where there are no people, then you will fall into the abyss of despair, but when you do not give up hope and continue to insist on burying your head in the road, you will find that on this seemingly uninhabited road, in fact, there have always been people who are accompanying you silently. β
After Chi Muyan finished saying this long paragraph, he turned around and continued to walk towards a higher sand dune in front of him, Hong Jiu'er and Hong Shiyan also silently followed his footsteps, Chi Muyan's mature voice was mixed with the slight sound of them stepping on the gravel, and the wind in the desert came slowly, " I have accompanied you through the most difficult part of the abyss, and now in front of you, it is already a period of uphill that can follow the glimmer of light, and along the way, maybe the light you see will still be covered, just like we are now walking in this endless yellow sand, if we give up hope halfway, it will become a dry bone buried under the yellow sand forever, but when we strive to climb over the continuous sand mountains, maybe there will be an oasis of abundance ahead. β
When he said this, Chi Muyan had already climbed the highest sand mountain, standing on the top and looking into the distance, with a smile on his face, and the two people behind him also climbed up, standing beside him and looking into the distance, only to see that under the sand mountain, there was really a bay of lake water, flat as a mirror, as clear as jade.
Chi Muyan sighed softly, "Layue Lake has arrived", shouted like a child, and then sat on the yellow sand and slid down the slope from the high sand mountain, Hong Jiu'er and Hong Shiyan looked at each other and smiled when they saw him, and also slid down the sand mountain like him, the two shouted and laughed while sliding down, and released all the negative emotions that had been accumulated in their hearts in this boundless desert.
When they slid to the bottom and stopped, the two of them were already full of yellow sand, and after spitting a few mouthfuls of spit, they spit out the yellow sand in their mouths, and turned their heads to look at Chi Muyan, but he stood up from the sand like no one.
Hong Shiyan asked curiously, "Eh, why doesn't he put sand in his mouth?"
Chi Muyan glanced at the two of them, patted the gravel on his body, summoned the cloud lion to ride up, and smiled back at the two of them, "Just shout it, who told you to shout all the way down?" This place is not far from Layue Lake, and the sand has been solidified by the passing caravans, so we don't have to go on foot anymore." β
The two were slightly stunned at first, and then they also summoned their mounts, Hong Jiu'er turned over and rode on the snow leopard, and smiled at Chi Muyan: "I just thought you were a good man, and you showed your black nature again." β
Chi Muyan also smiled, "I think I'm a good man, and it's not a bad thing to have a black belly, it's much better than lying." β
Hong Shiyan also sat on the snow spider and laughed twice, "Chi Muyan, can you be thicker-skinned? It's the first time I've seen someone who says he's a good man." β
Ji Muyan raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you can try it!"
In this way, the three of them were arguing while walking towards the clear water of Layue Lake, and when they were about to approach the caravan water supply station near Layue Lake, they found a group of caravans hurrying away.
