"Well, how can this be?"

Seeing that the iron long knife in his hand was only three inches embedded in the trunk of the tree, and there was still a side of the blade exposed, Qin Que's expression that was still happy just now suddenly changed.

Although he was no longer so anxious, when he went up to Dongshan Mountain, Qin Que still brought the iron long knife with him.

Originally, Qin Que didn't expect much progress, and in the past few days, he just habitually grabbed the iron long knife and fiddled with it a few times a day, and after three or two trips, he put it aside and ignored it, concentrating on practicing with his other ordinary long knife.

I never thought that at noon today, when Qin Que held the iron long knife again, he suddenly found that the repulsive force in the knife had weakened a lot. Qin Que was overjoyed, and put his mind on it again, although he had no chance to hunt in autumn this year, Qin Que didn't want to be unable to participate next year.

After half a day, Qin Que became more and more happy, that force was weaker and weaker every time, and Qin Que insisted on time stronger and stronger every time, just that time, when he held the iron long knife, Qin Que could no longer feel the meaning of rejection.

Overjoyed, Qin Que completely displayed the ancestral chopping technique, and when he closed it, a beautiful horizontal chopping directly slashed at the big tree with a thick bowl beside him.

With the sharpness of the iron long knife, when Qin Que was still unable to swing freely, he cut off a piece of the bluestone grinding disc, and now this tree should be cut off, but now it is only half of it.

After a moment's pause, Qin Que pulled out the iron long knife with the force in his hand, and swung it again to slash down.

This time the force was even greater, and the iron long knife was completely submerged into the tree, but it was still not completely cut off. After pulling off the iron long knife, he stared at it for a moment, and Qin Que couldn't help muttering: "It's not much worse for me to use my own long knife." ”

Puzzled in his heart, Qin Que took a few steps and raised his hand to throw the iron long knife aside, stretched out his hand to pick up his other long knife on the ground, and turned back to the big tree again.

After two muffled sounds, Qin Que showed a look of disappointment on his face, it was true that he could swing the iron long knife freely, but the iron long knife was not as sharp as it should be, or rather, it had returned to its original appearance, only a few points stronger than the fine iron knife in his hand.

What the hell is going on? Qin Que felt a sullen breath in his heart.

I didn't have the heart to stay on the mountain for the night, put the blanket containing the dried meat and water bag on my shoulder, reached out and grabbed the two long knives, Qin Que ran down the mountain, this time I had to ask the old patriarch to let me meet the elder, so that I could ask him for advice.

Walking to the edge of the cliff, Qin Que had just grabbed a rattan and wanted to jump out, when he suddenly heard the sound of stones colliding under the cliff in front of him.

"I don't know which uncle it is. Well, what is this going on? After a slight pause, Qin Que muttered a few times in his mouth, and suddenly a trace of doubt flashed on his face, stopped his movements, and listened carefully to the past.

A few bang, bang sounds rang out from the bottom of the mountain, not like the movement of the clansmen, but like the sound of some beast slamming into something.

Thinking of the beast, Qin Que couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly thought to himself, what kind of place is this, this is Dongshan.

Dongshan is located in the northeast of Qinjia Village, although it is not surrounded by the village, it is a natural barrier of Qinjia Village.

The east mountain is not high, but more than 100 zhang, but the mountain is steep, in addition to there is a passage towards the side of the Qinjia village, it also needs to be able to come up to the top of the mountain, the other three sides are all cliffs, and the most sensitive mountain ape has no ability to climb up.

At the beginning, the ancestors of the Qin family took a fancy to this point and set up a village at the foot of the mountain. Backed by Dongshan, whether it is to defend against beasts or bandits, the Qin family's stockade only needs to defend one side, unless the stockade is broken, there can be no fierce beasts at the foot of Dongshan,

It's not a beast, it can only be a clan, in ordinary times, few people in the entire Qin family village would think of coming here, and now the young and strong people in the clan have all entered the mountains and autumn hunting, I don't know which uncle started this play.

Guessing in his heart, Qin Que stretched out his head and looked down.

As soon as half of his head popped out, Qin Que's eyes were stunned.

There are people under the cliff, there is more than one, Qin Que saw that there were two gray figures standing under the cliff wall of dozens of zhang, but these two figures were moving a little strangely, and they were smashing their fists into the rock cliff wall with a fist, as if they were practicing some kind of kung fu, as the two fists rose and fell, and pieces of broken stones burst out from the cliff wall and rolled down.

The distance is still far away, Qin Que looks down on the appearance of the two, but he does not find the slightest familiar feeling from the figure, Qin Que frowned slightly, in his own village, the most powerful uncles, it seems that it is difficult to do this, who are these two people with amazing strength, and why do they appear at the foot of Dongshan behind their own village?

Without rushing down to inquire, at the top of the mountain, Qin Que bent down and looked at the two from a distance.

The thumping sound didn't last long, and after a quarter of an hour, both of them stopped at the same time, paused, and suddenly turned around.

Qin Que's eyes narrowed slightly, when the two of them swung their fists before, they felt that their movements were a little strange, but they didn't know where the weirdness was for a while, and now they looked at the way the two of them walked away, and finally knew where their previous feelings came from, the two of them had stiff hands and feet, not very dexterous, walking very slowly, and occasionally they would turn with the same hands and feet, these two people are not like ordinary people walking, but like marionettes who played when they were children.

What the hell is this? Qin Que was alert in his heart, and when he saw those two figures heading towards his Zhuangzi, Qin Que didn't think much about it, he stood up and came out of the cliff, dragged the rattan and slipped for a while, and as soon as his hand loosened and fell onto a small bulge, he jumped up again.

Anxious to see the two figures of unknown origin, Qin Que went down the mountain much faster than usual, thanks to the fact that he often came here, he had already memorized the situation of dozens of cliffs, and rushed down, bumped a few times, but did not step wrong, and after dozens of breaths, he finally went down the cliff.

Looking at the place where the two of them smashed their fists just now, there were four big dents, Qin Que's brows were furrowed again, and when he turned around, the two figures had already bypassed a stone slope and could not be seen, and as soon as he stomped his feet, Qin Que chased after him.

The two of them didn't walk fast, and after a while, Qin Que saw the stiff backs of the two from a distance.

Although he is only fifteen years old, he is not qualified to go into the mountains for autumn hunting, but Qin Que is already an excellent hunter, and he has also hunted a lot of pheasants, hares and elk in the nearby mountains, and he still has a few sneaking tracking skills.

Qin Que was stunned, even the most alert elk didn't seem to be so clever.

Thinking about it in their hearts, Qin Que's right hand had already been put on the handle of the long knife, and if they really wanted to turn around, they knew that their strength was no match for it, and they had to fight for it, even if the iron long knife was not as sharp as it should be, it was a rare good knife.

After waiting for a while, the two men stopped for a moment and did not come, but turned back and headed in the direction of the stockade.

Qin Que had some doubts in his heart, but he still secretly breathed a sigh of relief, paused slightly, and tiptoed over again.

This time, before they had taken a few steps, the two in front of them stopped again, looked up, and then turned back and continued to walk.

However, the mountain road of more than a mile stopped seven or eight times, and later, Qin Que finally figured out the pattern, and the two of them could indeed detect themselves, but they seemed to have a range, as long as they were not close to them, there was nothing to do. Only one thing Qin Que was not sure, once, he had been exposed to the gaze of one person, but he didn't attract much attention, as if the two of them were not scanning with their eyes.

Looking at his own village that had been lit up not far away, Qin Que felt anxious for a while, the dozen or so young uncles who stayed behind now must be on duty near the west gate of the village, and most of the remaining women and children in the village were old and weak, and they couldn't stop these two fierce figures.

Fortunately, it has reached the edge of the village here, and the sound will definitely alarm the clansmen in the village, and it is enough to drag the tea on it.

When his mind turned, Qin Que who was lying among a few chaotic stones made a decision, but before he could jump over, his eyes suddenly changed, just a moment, Qin Que only felt that his eyes were sparkling, and the two people in front of him suddenly moved, and they disappeared without waiting for the landing, as if they had directly entered an invisible cave.

The two big living people actually disappeared out of thin air, this kind of thing was really a bit out of Qin Que's cognition, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and took a closer look, but he still didn't find any trace of the two people, but he saw another figure sitting cross-legged at the foot of a boulder.

Just by the color of his robe, Qin Que could be sure that this figure was not one of the two.

I don't know what happened, Qin Que can only guess that the strange thing just now is inseparable from this sitting figure.

Suppressing the horror in his heart, Qin Que leaned down and stared at this figure tightly, wanting to see what kind of character it was.

He didn't let Qin Que wait too long, and when he didn't get enough tea, the man slowly stood up and walked towards Zhuangzi.

When he sat cross-legged on the ground before, Qin Que couldn't see clearly, and when he stood up at this moment, Qin Que still couldn't see clearly, but in an instant, Qin Que recognized who this person was, the unique lame step, the whole Zhuangzi was unique, even if Qin Que had only seen it twice, he had already remembered it deeply, and there would never be a mistake, it was not the bandit he had guessed before, but the fourth grandfather he was asking to see, the Qin Jian elder in the clan.

Seeing from a distance that the elder who was limping in front of him finally entered the stockade, and there was no trace of him, Qin Que's body suddenly loosened, and he took a few long breaths, only to find that his clothes were soaked, and he felt tired all over his body.

After resting for a while, knowing that the sky was completely dark, Qin Que slowly stood up and walked towards the village, but his brows still didn't let go: "It's actually an elder?"
