Chapter 7, the three ghosts of Yan River

Standing on top of a mountain peak and watching, there are rolling mountains everywhere you look, this is only the edge of Qiao Ling Mountain, where it goes farther, and what kind of scenery and demon beast elixir it will have, no one knows. But even if it's just the corner of the mountain range, if you look around it, you can see that there are mountains in the past, and everything that you see is covered with turquoise.

In this place of lush forests, green mountains and green waters, it is not always a mountain forest, there are some bare pinnacles, but here the wind and rain are well vegetated, even the pinnacles are covered with low shrubs, and the occasional exposed rocks are also covered with moss, and only occasionally in some wind outlets show the blue-white color of the rocks.

In this stone peak that is almost completely perpendicular to the ground as if it was slashed by a sword, a rather spectacular waterfall pours down halfway up the mountainside, like hanging a curtain of water, splashing in all directions, crystal beautiful, and finally falls into a small waterhole at the bottom of the mountain, which is like a small river that flows between the mountains, so that the beautiful scenery remains unchanged for thousands of years.

The waterhole is not deep, and there are a few sandbags scattered on the shore, as well as branches and sticks, and straw sandals and clothes and pants by the water's edge.

From time to time, there is also the sound of laughter of teenagers, mixed with the sound of dogs barking, and the young man and the family dog play in the water between the mountains, which has a sense of tranquility in a paradise.

This young man is Zhang Jingyi, and the domestic dog is naturally Xu Mo - to be exact, the yellow dog called "Lazy Cat".

At this time, one person and one dog have just finished weight-bearing running training, and they have gone into the water to swim and play during the break, which is almost a compulsory course for them in recent times. Every day, he has sandbags tied to his feet, and he also carries larger sandbags on his shoulders with thick wooden sticks on his shoulders, and climbs the mountain at least five times a day, which is also Zhang Jingyi's training according to the essence of the martial arts of body refining passed down by his family.

Of course, now he has not yet reached the so-called master realm of "discovering the law" and "conforming to the law", so he can only use the most simple and crude method to improve his functions in all aspects. There is no shortcut to practice, and only by slowly improving can you better consolidate your strength.

At this stage, Zhang Zhibi no longer forcibly required Zhang Jingyi to do his daily homework, perhaps because he knew what happened to his mother, this teenager was more active than usual, practiced very consciously, and gradually increased the amount of training.

The effect of such weight-bearing training is very obvious, Zhang Jingyi obviously felt that his muscle strength has been significantly improved, he waved his small but extraordinarily powerful arms, and a happy look appeared on his face.

"Lazy cat, what do you say, what would a master of the Great Gate Sect like Xuanming Sect look like?" After taking a bath, Zhang Jingyi lay on the boulder on the shore, basking in the sun while talking to the big yellow dog on the side. However, although Xu Mo was conscious, he couldn't say anything in his mouth, and could only respond a few times.

"If one day, I can kill the Xuanming Sect and then rescue my mother, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Xuan Domain. Lazy cat, if you really have that day, will I be so majestic that even the Guyang City Lord will grovel to me?haha!" The young man said this to himself, ignoring whether the yellow dog next to him understood or not.

"Alas...... Lazy cat, I miss my mother. Zhang Jingyi, who was still talking big before, suddenly sighed, and then looked lost.

It is simply impossible to compete with those super sects with their mortal bodies, although Zhang Jingyi always imagines that he can show off his majesty in all directions, but when he thinks of the possibility of reality, his mind is dim.

"Success is in the sky, planning is in people, even if it is impossible, you have to work hard, even if you can't beat those masters, it's good to have the opportunity to beat those disciples of the Xuanming Sect!" Zhang Jingyi's loss did not last long, and he immediately cheered up. "Now I can bear the weight up and down the mountain five times a day, from today onwards, practice again every day, lazy cat!"

When the boy was running with sandbags and weights, the big yellow dog behind him was also tied to a circle of sandbags, and there was a big stone in his mouth. Such a one-person-one-dog cultivation, if people look at it, they really can't help but laugh.

However, not long after he went out, Xu Mo, whose senses had become more and more acute in the recent period of training, heard some subtle noises coming from in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer.

Xu Mo, who was running in front of him, suddenly listened, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, those noisy sounds were the footsteps of people, and they fell on the ground quite slightly, definitely at the master level. If Xu Mo hadn't turned into a dog, such a subtle sound would not have been perceptible at all.

"Lazy cat, why don't you leave?" Zhang Jingyi was a little strange.

However, the dog seemed to be unheard of, seeing Xu Mo pricking up his ears and listening carefully, Zhang Jingyi immediately realized something, so his voice suddenly became softer. "What's wrong? Is there some beast?"

Before Zhang Jingyi's words were finished, the yellow dog in front of him was silent, and he bit his trouser leg in his mouth and pulled it into the bushes on the side, looking anxious as if there was some danger.

Now Zhang Jingyi reacted, there should be something coming here, and the dog was reminding him to hide. Could it be that a demon beast is coming? Zhang Jingyi also became nervous when he thought of this.

So without any hesitation, he hugged the dog and shrank into a bush in the depression on the side, hiding his body, and at the same time, he also used the method of concealing the aura according to the ancestral body refining martial arts. Rubbing mud on the ground to cover up the smell, and at the same time holding his breath, the breath of his whole body calmed down, and the man and the dog quickly hid as if no one had ever come.

Not long after Zhang Jingyi hid, there was a slight sound of Suo Suo coming from far and near, and he saw several figures passing by at a very fast speed. Because he didn't dare to act rashly, Zhang Jingyi didn't dare to raise his head to look at those people, but shrunk down and lay in the depression.

Judging from the light pace and the speed comparable to that of a cheetah, he is definitely a master of the cultivation level, Zhang Jingyi didn't see it clearly but was secretly frightened. Generally speaking, when these monks are hunting for treasures or hunting monsters and collecting elixirs, it is best for idle people to stay away, otherwise they will be considered competitors, and it is easy to fight each other to the death.

Although Zhang Jingyi had no intention of snatching the treasure, if a mortal like him was in front of the public, the monk would still take care of his face and not bully him, but in such a deserted and inaccessible place, it was easier to kill a person than a chicken. Whether a mortal in that situation can live or not depends on the mood of the monk.

Fortunately, a few people did not stop, and in a flash, the figure was drowned in the jungle in front of them.

Seeing that the person had left, Zhang Jingyi was also relieved, if he really met some monks who were in a bad mood, a guy like him would not be enough to be a meat pad. But just as he wanted to get up and crawl out, the "lazy cat" immediately bit his clothes and pulled them down, Zhang Jingyi immediately reacted and reined in his breath and lay under the bushes in the depression.

After a while, several figures flashed out again with a whoosh, and stopped in the open space in front of a man and a dog.

"Big brother, did you hear me wrong? There doesn't seem to be anyone here. A man in a green coat spoke.

"I felt a slight movement in here just now, and if it were an ordinary beast, we would definitely be able to spot it. Now it's completely gone, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary thing, there are no monsters here, there must be someone, you search around here. The muscular man with a beard on his head spoke.

"I think what the second brother said makes sense, we went and returned without finding anything abnormal, in this Qiao Ling Mountain, except for a very few high-level hunting teams, who can not be found within a distance of twenty zhang around us? A voluptuous woman's voice came.

"Big boss, although it's right to be careful, but if you don't rush over, I'm afraid that the elixir will be ripe, if you don't hurry up and pick it and be eaten by that beast, then it won't be able to be drawn. A middle-aged man's voice rang out. "Besides, how many people dare to provoke the reputation of the three ghosts of Guangyan River? I don't think there is anything abnormal around here, why don't we rush over and take a look at the situation first." ”

Originally, Zhang Jingyi, the two men and one woman before, didn't know each other at all, but he knew very well the voice of the middle-aged man at the end, it was Wu Ba who had a conflict with his family half a month ago! I don't know why those three cultivation masters were with Wu Ba, a fool who only had the fivefold realm of quenching the body and didn't even have the qualifications to enter the hunting team.

"It seems that maybe I'm really suspicious," the bearded strong man who was called the big boss had bright eyes, and there was no abnormality when he looked around, and there were a few people around to persuade him, and he inevitably suspected that he was a little too cautious.

"This time I came to search for nothing else, everyone must be cautious, if you encounter something that is not eye-opening on the road, you can kill it directly. The bearded man thought for a moment and continued. Although suspicious, this boss, who is known as the three ghosts of Yan He, is indeed ruthless enough.

Several people nodded yes, and then left again.

After a long while, when he was really sure that there was no one left, Zhang Jingyi was really relieved and crawled out of the bushes in the depression. It's so dangerous, if it was really found just now, this little life would really be gone, but fortunately, the dog at home is more bright.

However, after Zhang Jingyi touched the "lazy cat", he found that the earth dog's eyes were staring in the direction where the people left, and his eyes were full of anticipation and longing......
