The nights in the mountains and forests are especially long.

Chen Bugui looked at the girl who was curled up and sleeping under the tree and was slightly distracted, and the words of Xu Wanning before seemed to linger in the young man's ears now.

"Father's ......"

The girl's murmuring pulled the young man's thoughts back, and then Chen Bugui took out the blanket he bought during the day and covered the girl.

As if feeling a trace of warmth, Xu Wanning's frowning brows soothed, and he fell asleep again.

Chen Bugui sat down by the fire again and added another handful of firewood to the fire.

Looking at the renewed flames, the boy also closed his eyes and began to meditate.

……

……

When the first rays of morning light shone through the mist in the mountains and forests, Chen Bugui reflexively woke up from his practice.

Glancing at the girl who was still sleeping under the tree, Chen Bugui didn't make a sound to disturb.

After all, after such a long journey yesterday, it is inevitable that the girl will be tired, so it will be a while to let her sleep a little longer.

He got up and stretched his bones, washed his face by the stream, and the boy led the horse to the stream to feed it, and then found some fresh forage for it nearby.

The boy smiled and patted the red horse's neck, motioning for it to eat more.

This is the most important tool for the next two of them, and they can't let it starve to death before it reaches its destination.

"I didn't see it, I'm quite diligent this morning."

There was a sudden teasing sound from behind him, which made the movement of the young man's hand stop.

Chen Bugui turned his head to look at the girl who was wrapped in a blanket and shivered all the way, and couldn't help but say, "The sun didn't come out of the west today, why did Miss Xu get up so early?!" ”

The girl walked up to Chen Bugui, sniffed, and said with a blank look, "I'm afraid that if you sleep for a long time, some people will nagging for a long time like a monk chanting scriptures." ”

When Chen Bugui heard this, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

This aunt is really holding grudges, and she always holds on to some small things.

Looking at the blanket on the girl's body, Chen Bugui said, "Did you sleep well last night?!" ”

"You still have a little conscience." Xu Wan tightened the blanket and replied inconsistently.

In fact, she woke up as early as last night when Chen Bugui put a blanket on him, but the girl didn't break it.

"Let's go, go to the village you mentioned."

After the two of them had sorted out, they mounted their horses and continued on their way.

……

……

Due to the special geographical reasons of being surrounded by mountains, the territory of Shuzhong has created a relatively isolated living environment, and most of the people living here rely on agriculture for a living.

Fortunately, the abundant products in Shu make the people's lives not too poor.

There are dozens of villages large and small in the territory of Shuzhong, but due to the influx of mountain bandits and bandits in recent years, the life of the people is miserable.

A few years ago, when Xu Wanning and her father went to Jianling to visit her aunt, they rescued a pair of sisters and brothers who were bullied by mountain bandits in Shuzhong.

And the place where the two of them are going this time is Luohe Village, where the pair of siblings are located.

When the red horse crossed a dense jungle, a patchwork of low grass huts came into view of the two of them in the greenery.

Seeing the village not far away, the girl's face showed a smile, and she pulled the palm of the reins with her hand, and the red horse under her rolled up smoke and galloped towards the village.

When the horses are about to enter the village, a mutation pops up!

Sou!

There was a sound of breaking wind, and a sharp arrow with a cold light suddenly shot out from behind the mud wall outside the village.

The girl looked at the sharp arrow that appeared out of thin air, and lost her mind for a moment.

"Be careful!"

The young man's voice sounded like thunder in his ears, Xu Wanning immediately came back to his senses, grabbed the reins in a panic, and the red horse under him was forced, and his front hooves were raised high, stagnating his advancing figure.

Just when the arrow was about to hit the girl, Chen Bugui, who was sitting in the back, stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Xu Wanning's waist, and then used his strength to swap his position with the girl.

Xu Wanning was stunned, only to feel a huge force from her waist, followed by a whirlwind, when she came back to her senses, she found that she had sat in the position where Chen did not return.

Chen Bugui, who was sitting in front of the horse, drew the soul guarding sword behind him at a very fast speed, and accurately cut off the arrow.

"Who's where!" Chen Bugui held the long sword in his hand, and shouted in the direction of the mud wall with a fierce look.

If it wasn't for his quick reaction just now, maybe the girl behind him would have become a ghost under the arrow.

Soon after the boy's low roar was heard, a group of men walked out from the mud wall.

The group of men in various costumes all carried weapons in their hands, including hoes, sickles, and sticks, and one of them, a tall man holding a bow and arrow without arrows.

Obviously, the arrow just now was shot by the man in front of him.

Chen Bugui looked at the outfits of the group of men in front of him, not so much like the mountain bandits that Xu Wanning said, but more like the villagers here.

"Why did you attack us?!" Chen Bugui stared at the tall man and asked with a frown.

The man did not immediately answer the boy's question, but looked at the boy sitting on horseback with wary eyes.

After making sure that the boy was no threat to them, the man relaxed his expression and hugged his fists, "Don't blame Childe, we mistakenly thought that you were a member of the Heaven Snatching Gang, so we will make a move on you, and please forgive Childe." ”

"Sky Grabber?!" When the girl sitting behind Chen Bugui heard this, she immediately poked out her head, "Another mountain bandit?!" ”

The girl who poked out her head immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the mud wall, among whom there was a lean man who was about the age of standing and staring at Xu Wanning intently, his eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly, "But Miss Xu?!" ”

Xu Wanning heard the shouts in the crowd, her eyes looked at the crowd flickeringly, and finally locked on the lean man, and then the girl waved her hand to the man with a happy face, "Brother Meng, it's me." ”

The man who was called Brother Meng by Xu Wanning saw that the girl responded to him, and a reassuring smile appeared on his face, and then he persuaded the villagers beside him to put down their weapons.

"You know?!" Chen Bugui looked at the girl who turned over and dismounted, frowned and asked.

"Well, Brother Meng is the father of the pair of siblings I saved." The girl raised her eyes and nodded, "Let's go, it's okay." ”

Looking at the girl who walked over first, Chen Bugui also got off the horse, and then followed the girl into Luohe Village.

Xu Wanning walked up to the man surnamed Meng, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting, while Chen Bugui was like air at this time, standing aside bored.

After the man sent the villagers beside him away, he looked at Chen Bugui on the side with flickering eyes and said, "This son is Miss Xu's guard on this trip?!" ”

"He's ......" Xu Wanning turned her head to look at the young man, thought for a while, and said, "His name is Chen Bugui, and he is my friend." ”

"Your father didn't have a guard for you?!" The man surnamed Meng asked in surprise when he heard Xu Wanning's answer.

"Ah...... I didn't tell my father about my trip. Xu Wanning said with a smile.

"This ......" A touch of loss flashed in the man's eyes, and he stopped talking.

Xu Wanning keenly captured the emotion in the man's eyes, and then said, "By the way, Brother Meng, what is the matter with the Sky Snatching Gang that person just said?!" ”

Seeing that the girl asked about this, the man surnamed Meng said helplessly, "Two years ago, Yao'er was fortunate to be rescued by Miss Xu to avoid the poisonous hands of those beasts. ”

"And your deterrence at that time did play a role, in the past two years, no mountain bandits dared to come to our Luohe Village to do evil......" Speaking of this, a trace of anger rose in the man's expression, "But just a month ago, the mountain bandits around here didn't know what was going on, and suddenly they reported to the group, and they also claimed to be the Heaven Snatching Gang, and the group of mountain bandits who had coveted Yao'er for a long time two years ago were also among them, a few days ago, they came to our village to name Yao'er to be their helper's personal maid, saying that they would give us a few days to think about it, If they don't get an answer by then, then they will slaughter the entire village of Luohe! ”

After listening to the man's narration, Xu Wanning said angrily, "What kind of bullshit, I really think that Shuzhong is the place where they can do whatever they want!" ”

"If a group of unruly outlaws are to suddenly surrender obediently, I really can't think of any way to unite all the mountain bandits in this vicinity in a short period of time, except for absolute power." The young man, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

Hearing Chen Bugui's words, a flash of realization flashed in the eyes of the originally angry girl, and she immediately understood what the young man meant.

If you want to make so many mountain bandits submit to one person at once, then there must be only one possibility.

This person is a cultivator!

And it has absolute power to dominate this group of mountain bandits.

Chen Bugui's only uncertain person now is a cultivator of several realms.

The first realm was categorically excluded by him.

Because among such a large group of mountain bandits, there must be cultivators of the Primordial Realm, and if you want to dominate the Primordial Realm mountain bandits, then this person's realm must be above the Primordial Realm.

It's a conundrum.

And it's a bit tricky for the current Chen Bugui.

If the other party is in the initial realm, it is okay, he can easily deal with it, even if the other party is a cultivator of the second realm, he can also fight with the divine talisman given by Jiang Qi.

But if the other party's cultivation exceeds the Five Realms, then it will be a mortal situation for the boy.

Because the hole card in his hand now is the karmic fire talisman that can instantly kill the cultivators of the Five Realms.

This karmic fire talisman can only be used once, and Chen Bugui does not want to use this hole card until the last resort.

Because he has not yet arrived at Jianling, it means that he is not safe, and he is still accompanied by Xu Wanning.

If you take a wrong step, then you will be doomed, and you will not be able to reach Jianling, not to mention, you will have to pay for yourself and Xu Wanning's lives.
