Volume 1 The Negative Box Boy, the Fledgling Chapter 22 Black Wind City
The Peerless Ridge is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, resembling a crouching dragon, rugged and meandering, and the difference between the end and the end is huge, the higher you go, the steeper it is. And the Qin State and the Jin State were therefore as if they had been broken by the waist. The mountain range is nearly 100 miles deep, and the ancient trees are lush and lush at the feet.
From a distance, I find it more and more mysterious.
The reason why the Peerless Heavenly Ridge is known as the Great Murder Land is not because of its unique geographical environment, but because there are terrifying and strange beasts in it!
How long has the Absolute Heaven Ridge been around? At least, it existed before the rise of the Hundred Kingdoms of Zhongzhou. Neither the Qin State nor the Jin State made a clear statement on the question of the ownership of the Absolute Heaven Ridge, not because these two countries did not attach importance to the territorial issue, but because they did not dare to garrison troops in the Absolute Heaven Ridge at all! They had also tried before, but the people sent to the Absolute Heaven Peak were either dead or missing, and even those who were lucky enough to come back alive were crazy.
Of course, there are only a few people alive, and the only ones who are alive and not crazy are Li Fan and Lao Huang.
Juetianling, the border of the Qin State is stationed in the city, in the inn.
Li Fan was surprised by the strange atmosphere brought by this city, when the old man walked towards Li Fan's position from the depths of the darkness, he was holding wax in one hand and some food in the other, and his pace was very slow. Maybe it's because of his age, so his legs and feet are a little disadvantageous.
Seeing this, Li Fan hurriedly got up and took the plate, and sat down with the old man aside. Under the candlelight on the table, the food on the plate was very light, a few pieces of bread made of coarse grains and a bowl of gruel.
"There are only a few bites left, don't dislike it. The men and women of the family all went to the garrison, so I was left with only an old man to guard the house, and my livelihood during this time was barely able to fool around. The old man sat on the sidelines panting, as if he hadn't seen a living person for a long time, so he said a lot in one breath.
Li Fan is not taboo, as long as he is hungry and has a stutter, it doesn't matter what he eats.
"Uncle, can you tell us about this city, and what is the garrison in your mouth?" Li Fan finished drinking the last sip of porridge, looked satisfied, and turned to look at the old man under the shadow of the lamp.
The old man put half of the wax in his hand on the table, took out a cigarette pouch from behind his back, and said slowly after taking two puffs with the help of the fire on the table. "This border city of the Qin State is called Black Wind City. A hundred miles west of the city, there is a place of great evil, and there is the Peerless Ridge. Two months ago, a large part of the western garrison wall was destroyed by the tide of fierce beasts in the Peerless Mountains, forming a hole, causing many fierce creatures to run into our Black Wind City, and those beasts were completely unscrupulous, causing us immeasurable casualties. ”
Li Fan didn't know that this city had such a name, Black Wind City, as the name suggests, a city full of black sand and dust! This name was not recorded on his map, but he simply made a city mark for this place.
As for the tide of murderous things mentioned by the old man, it should be the tide of beasts, and the ferocious things should also refer to fierce beasts. The beast tide, Li Fan had encountered it in the Peerless Mountains, but at that time, he was directly dragged up by Lao Huang and ran far away. The vibration behind him was terrifying. The beast tide is that almost all the beasts unite and run in one direction like crazy, basically walking on the ground everywhere they go, and anything will be trampled by the rampaging ones.
It is not difficult to imagine how ordinary people can resist the kind of creature that even makes their scalps tingle when they encounter it? Li Fan couldn't help but think of the wanton scene of several violent beasts running into Black Wind City, which was simply a tragedy all over the wilderness.
The lamp flickered, and the old man shook the cigarette pouch, then rolled it up, and continued. After the evil things dispersed, the lord of the city took the young men of the city and the guards of the military service to the garrison to repair the garrison wall. The garrison wall in the west of the city is very important, it is the civil air defense fortification that Black Wind City relies on to fight against the tide of fierce creatures in the Peerless Mountains. However, because the repair work was very large, the women of the city also went to help, and they had been gone for almost two months now. ”
Li Fan nodded thoughtfully. Now it can explain why the city is so desolate, but Li Fan feels that the people in Black Wind City should be very miserable. Every day is worried, for fear that the rough garrison wall will not be able to stop the tide of beasts.
It's also strange to say, Li Fan has never seen a fierce beast except in the Peerless Heaven Ridge, at most it is just some ordinary beasts, and those things are really far worse than the fierce beasts.
Fierce beasts, in addition to their extremely large size, also have miraculous abilities, swallowing gold and eating iron, spewing thunder and lightning from their mouths, poisonous mist, etc., only unexpected, there is no fierce beast that cannot do. When Li Fan first arrived at the Peerless Ridge, he encountered a thorny pig beast, this thing looked like a pig, but it was huge and covered in bone spur armor, and its eyes were bloodshot and ferocious, and when it was dangerous, it could shoot out the bone spurs on its body, so as to achieve the effect of injuring the enemy, and if it was not careful, it would be shot into a sieve by bone spurs.
He almost died at the hands of that thing because of this, but fortunately Lao Huang arrived to save Li Fan, because the thorn beast couldn't look up at the sky, so the two climbed to the treetops to escape the catastrophe, but the fierce beast they encountered later was even more terrifying!
The old man put up the wax on the table, got up and prepared to clean up the plate, and when he saw a few pieces of broken silver that Li Fan threw on the table, he shook his head and refused. "You can not dislike these foods, where can you use the silver taels. ”
The old man could see that this young man was extraordinary, he should be a martial artist, and he was dressed like a rich child, it would be good not to dislike his two dross, how could he dare to ask for silver.
Li Fan felt the simplicity of the old man, there are basically few people in the border garrison like this, especially around the Absolute Heaven Ridge, which is even more inaccessible, and the people in the city get along all year round, support each other, and face the crisis of the Absolute Heaven Ridge together, which makes them very kind.
As for food, Li Fan's experience is special, he has not eaten anything in the two years in the Absolute Heaven Ridge, he has eaten bark and wild fruits, and he has eaten raw meat with hair, etc., that experience has made him remember deeply, and the food served by the old man is simply delicious in the world compared to those. "It doesn't matter if the food is good or bad, as long as it fills my stomach, in my eyes it is food! So this money is not unjust at all, and besides, uncle, do you think I seem to be short of money? If you still refuse, then I will leave directly. ”
The old man saw that Li Fan was so stubborn and couldn't refuse, so he had to put away the broken silver with a smile on his face, and said that he had prepared the guest room on the second floor.
Li Fan carried the sword box and went to the second floor under the guidance of the old man, the entire second floor was not big, even less than half of the first floor.
The old man introduced the prepared room for Li Fan, the room was not large, but it was very neat, and there was an oil lamp hanging on the roof. Although it was a little dim, it was very clear in Li Fan's field of vision, although the sparrows were small, they had all kinds of organs. After the old man retired, he gently covered the door for Li Fan.
Outside the inn, the wind was howling and rustling... The sound is made by the sand whipped up by the wind striking the planks.
Li Fan sat on the bed and meditated with a strange meditation method. However, the body is running the "Great Yan Sutra" for no reason. By now, he could clearly feel that he was about to enter the second layer of the Great Yan Sutra, that is, Li Fan was about to enter the second stage of the Seven Great Realms of Monks, the Zhou Tian realm! Breaking through the diaphragm in his body, it would be tonight if it was fast, and two or three days if it was slow! But thinking of this, Li Fan was still very excited. He is implementing exactly what Master Ye Chui said, then the first step of the invincible foundation will be completed!
It shouldn't be too far away from revenge!Wang Qingfeng?!
But he understands that even if he doesn't know where Wang Qingfeng is now, one day he will find out the clues and find that person! At that time, he will have enough strength to take revenge.
Qingyun County, Qin State, Baifu of Changqing City.
The white mansion at night, the lights are dim, a scenic garden in the house, the lotus pond willows, are singing and dancing at this moment.
"Brother Yun Cang, where did you go yesterday, why did you only come back tonight?"
"Yes, yes, Yun Cang!
"Do you know what happened at Huang Xiuyuan's funeral yesterday? His Sword Sect is so hateful!"
In the garden, the pavilion in the pond.
At this moment, three or four juniors of the Bai family were surrounding a young man in white clothes, with slightly drooping sideburns and scholarly spirits, and several of them were talking while enjoying singing and dancing.
"Okay, you all go down!" The young man in white brocade looked lukewarm, and waved at the dancing girl singer very casually.
The singing and dancing stopped abruptly, and he retreated.
"Eh, what's wrong?" the Bai family Junxiu next to the young man suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Huh?" the others looked puzzled.
"Go down and let me be alone. ”
With that, the boy ignored the others, stroked his sideburns, and left the pavilion directly, pacing by the pond.
This young man is none other than Bai Jia's Qilin Er Bai Yuncang! He has already returned from the Wufu Cliff apprenticeship, but he did not mention this matter to anyone, because Bai Guozhu told him that this matter should be kept as secret as possible.
At the same time, Bai Guozhu also told Bai Yuncang what had happened in the next two days, but Bai Yuncang was not interested in the genius of the Sword Sect, but was very curious about Li Fan's existence.
After all, Bai Yuncang has been living in the shadow of his aunt Bai Yourong since he showed his talent, so he can't help but be very curious about this aunt's son, that is, his cousin Li Fan!
Bai Yuncang told Bai Guozhu that when he came back this time, he would follow his master to cultivate in Wufu Cliff for a long time in the future. So before that, he planned to go to the Qindu Sword Sect tomorrow to visit the mountain gate, so as to achieve the goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
Bai Guozhu was a little hesitant when he heard this, but when he heard that Bai Yuncang was now a monk, he immediately smiled from ear to ear. For this matter, of course, let Bai Yuncang handle it himself. Besides, Bai Yuncang is not for his Bai family this time?
Bai Jialin'er Baiyuncang,
Worship the innocent horse Yuheng.
It's hard to find a fierce rival sword sect,
Here, the British are not competing.
