Chapter 52: Trekking through Mountains and Waters
In the evening, a fiery sunset appeared on the horizon, burning the sky red.
The lake is sparkling, on the shore of the lake, a young man dressed in simple plain clothes, with a delicate appearance, exuding vigorous vitality, holding the clear water in the lake and drinking a few sips, then he exhaled happily.
"Whew, I'm finally alive. Ning Yu stretched out his cuffs, wiped the water marks at the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but laugh.
Then he took the water bag from the storage ring and filled it to the brim, before he got up and left the lake and walked towards the grove behind him.
"Master, aren't you drinking?" Ning Yu stretched out his hand, pointed to the clear water of a lake not far away, and asked the old monk who was sitting cross-legged.
Master Huihai smiled slightly, shook his head, closed his eyes again, and continued to meditate.
For cultivators, not eating or drinking for a few months is just a trivial matter, and just sucking in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is enough to survive.
But if you can drink water to quench your thirst, drink for fun, eat and eat meat, why not?
It's just that Master Huihai, as a Buddhist person, has a pure heart and few desires, and takes suffering as happiness, and it is not incomprehensible that he regards this as a kind of practice. In this regard, Ning Yu could only spread his hands helplessly, sat cross-legged on the side, and silently gnawed on the dry food.
Over the past few days, he and Master Huihai have traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open air, although sometimes it is a little difficult, but it is also very fulfilling. In particular, he also saw many magnificent scenery that he had never seen before, as well as some new things and sights, which made him happy even though he was tired.
......
The next day, the morning light was faint.
In the middle of the valley is a forest, with intertwined branches of trees and green trees underneath.
However, this place is not as calm as it seems, there are strange noises in the forest, and there are often bursts of beast chirping in the distance, so it can be seen that although the forest seems to be deep and quiet, it is actually full of danger, and everywhere is full of danger.
While Ning Yu was walking in the mountains and forests, he was also observing the situation around him.
Along the way, he also discovered that there were several strong auras in the mountains, and they should all be native-born spirit beasts here. Among them, the strength of the stronger several breaths has reached the peak of the first order, and it can be said that it is a hegemon-like existence in this mountain, and the slightest wind and grass will startle the little beasts to flee when they hear the wind, and they dare not appear around them at all.
Although he found them, Ning Yu didn't care much about them at all, and he didn't avoid them, and he still hurried on his own.
A first-order peak demonic beast, for ordinary people, it was really a nightmare existence, but for him now, it was not too much of a threat.
"There seems to be some movement in front of this. Suddenly, Ning Yu heard a trace of a sound coming from the front, and said, "It seems that someone is there." ”
I didn't expect that in such a barren mountain range, it was quite unusual to meet other people by chance. If he changed his usual words, he had to weigh how many pounds and taels he had, think about it carefully, and then decide whether to join in the fun, as for now, he rushed over almost without thinking, without the slightest worry and worry.
You know, Master Huihai who walked with him was the abbot of the Golden Cicada Temple, the number one powerhouse in the entire Lingjiang City!
The sky is falling, isn't there still a tall man on top of it, what can he worry about, a little follower of the Qi Refining Realm?
Ning Yu's eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked from afar, and after seeing the situation in the distance, he said, "There are still a lot of people. ”
I saw a carriage parked in the depths of the trees, and there were more than a dozen figures standing around, and the person who took the lead looked slightly fat, and from the point of view of his dress, he looked like a merchant.
In front of them, there stood five ruffian-like figures, holding large slashers in their hands, looking at the group with malicious expressions, and simply blocked their way.
"A few heroes, villains have been in business for many years, and today they happen to pass through here, and I hope that a few of them can make it convenient. ”
Some middle-aged men who had made a fortune laughed, stepped forward alone, took out a money bag from their arms, weighed it roughly, and handed it to the other party with a smile.
"It's a little bit of caution on our part, and I'll ask a few of you to laugh at it. He said kindly.
The leader of the blocking side put the knife on his shoulder, took the money bag, opened it and glanced at it a few times, then nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yes, you know each other!"
He took the money bag into his bosom, waved his hand, and asked the people below to make a way, and then said, "All right, let's go quickly!"
Hearing this, the slightly chubby middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and did not hesitate, and quickly gave everyone behind him a few looks.
After the people behind saw it, they also quickly reacted and hurriedly worked.
"Hurry, hurry!"
More than a dozen people sorted out the goods, got into the carriage, and reorganized the team in a few strokes, ready to hit the road again.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the leading man with the slash on his shoulder let out a cry of surprise, turned his head, and looked towards the back of the crowd.
I saw two figures silently walking out of the quiet shade of the trees, just entering their sight.
The two of them, one old and one young, are Master Huihai and Ning Yu who came to hear the sound.
After seeing this scene before, how could Ning Yu not understand what was going on? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that someone would dare to do such a bandit act in broad daylight.
Although Lingjiang City is also very chaotic, and there are often disputes between various large and small forces, they still disdain to do such indiscriminate things as bullying civilians.
"It came at the right time. The man at the head was in a good mood, grinned, showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, and slowly stepped forward.
"You, and you!" He came to the front of Ning Yu and the two, stretched out his hand, pointed at the two of them, and said, "Since you are already here, let's leave something." ”
Hearing this, Ning Yu shook his head, looking at the man as if he was looking at a fool, his face was full of helplessness.
He could see that although this man was the little leader of the other party, he was also the cultivation of the Triple Heaven of Qi Refining, even if he bullied and bullied ordinary people, he actually dared to pose in front of him, he was simply asking for his own death.
He didn't bother to say anything more to this kind of person, shook his fist, and wanted to do it directly.
With his current physical body and cultivation, he can almost guarantee that as long as he punches, he will definitely hit the opponent all over the ground.
"Slow, slow!"
Seeing this scene, the slightly blessed middle-aged man suddenly panicked, hurriedly ran forward, squeezed into the middle of the two, and blocked Ning Yu, so that he could not exert his strength.
"Good man, do you know that you must not be like a child? The slightly chubby middle-aged man said with a smile.
Then, I saw that I took out a small money bag from my bosom, counted the amount, and then handed it to the man who blocked the way.
"Judging by their appearance, they should be monks, and they don't have any possessions on them, so this time, let me pay them first. He smiled and said.
Hearing this, the corners of Ning Yu's mouth couldn't help twitching, when did he become a monk? However, more things are better than less, since someone has already come forward, then he is too lazy to do it himself.
Although the man blocking the road was a little unhappy by the tepid attitude of the two, fortunately he did not run wild, silently took the small money bag, and then said coldly: "Okay! For your sake, I will let them go this time." ”
After saying that, he didn't want to stay longer, so after a few beckons to the others, he left the place to look for the next target.
"Huh......" The middle-aged man who was a little fat let out a long breath, this time he turned his head to look at Ning Yu, and said with some fear: "Little brother, you are really bold!"
"What's wrong?" Ning Yu wondered.
"What's the matter, you're still asking what's wrong?" The slightly chubby middle-aged man's eyes widened suddenly, and he was surprised, and turned around a few times worriedly.
After making sure that those people were far away, he leaned down, lowered his voice and whispered: "You must know that these bandits and robbers in the Kedu Mountains kill people without blinking, and some of them are extremely powerful cultivators, you almost lost your life just now!"
