Sixty-one, into the mountain
The falling flowers are like rain and butterflies, and the flowers fall silently, and the world is worth it!
This Luohua Village is really beautiful, like a paradise on earth.
Gently pushing the half-hidden firewood, his eyes are full of red dust trivia.
The standard farmhouse courtyard made the three people who had traveled all the way here feel relieved, and their eyes looked around greedily, wanting to feel the rare comfort.
"The village chief said, there are no outsiders left in the past few days, how dare you let them stay?"
The woman in the bullock cart said angrily.
"They're all from Snowpiercer, how authentic your accent is!"
The big man who drove the ox cart waved his whip, and a crisp whip whistle was heard in the air.
"Let's go back in a moment, but nothing will happen. Look at the current state of the second brother, what kind of martial arts is he practicing if he has nothing to do, isn't it good to be a good commoner? β
The three people on the ox cart hastily finished their farm work, and returned to Luohua Village with the crisp sound of whips all the way.
Niu Dali has a younger brother who practices martial arts, and his talent was very good in his early years, but I don't know why, he suddenly became stupid, but fortunately, he has the strength to do farm work.
The woman wrapped in a blue cloth floral headscarf is a young daughter-in-law, hardworking and capable, and she only thinks about the family's one-third of an acre.
"I really found it, okay, sit casually, old woman go cook!"
Niu Dali was busy in the courtyard and beckoned. This enthusiasm made Ouyang Zhen a little embarrassed.
Chu Ye's gaze fell on Niu Erli, the peak of martial arts! In any country, you can live with dignity, why did you end up like this?
Xia Bing has a soft spot for this small courtyard, look at this, look at that, she likes this kind of life.
A few people chatted in the courtyard, and from the conversation, Ouyang Zhen and they learned the truth of some things.
In recent days, the village chief has issued notices every day, telling them that outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight, because they have heard that there are spies from the State of Su and the State of Tang who want to come out to do bad things, and there are not many men in the village, so they cannot organize an effective defense, so all outsiders are simply not allowed to stay in the village.
There is also this Niu Erli, who was also a talented party when he was young, and later I heard that he was in a hurry, and he went crazy for a while, so he became what he is today. But even so, he often practiced alone.
Ouyang Zhen habitually stood up and began to pace.
"That's it, let's go into the mountain after eating, please ask Brother Niu to help us prepare some food, here are some broken silver, all as a thanks!"
As he spoke, Ouyang Zhen took out a few taels of silver and put them on the square table in the courtyard.
Chu Ye and Xia Bing never dared to speak, only occasionally squeaked "um" and "ah" once or twice. The language of the north, they speak very unauthentically.
"Brother Liu doesn't need to be so polite, a few pieces of dry food, some wine, it doesn't cost much, no need!"
Ouyang Zhen lied that their family's surname was Liu.
"I hope you don't shirk, thank you for your kindness!"
Ouyang Zhen hugged his fists, Niu Dali was also refreshed, and accepted the silver two.
The daughter-in-law of the Niu family, who had just come out of the house, saw the silver and immediately smiled on her face.
"Let's go inside and eat, it's cold outside, come, you're welcome!"
A few people went to the kang, and the small fire pit in the farmhouse was really comfortable!
A table of peasant meals made Chu Ye and them eat extra sweet.
Bitter herb liquor, Fang shows character. Ouyang Zhen and the three of them are exactly this kind of temper.
After they were full of wine and food, the three of them packed their bags, brought some food, asked Niu Dali and his wife for some details of going up the mountain, and then wanted to go out.
Just after noon, the sun was blazing. Birds chirping in the mulberry trees flew into the sky.
Chu Ye felt a soundβthe sound of the air exploding. The kind of air-tearing sound that only the strong can do.
"Go through the back door!"
Ouyang Zhen also felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed, there were fewer villagers on the road, and the birds were hanging in the sky......
"What's wrong?"
Niu Dali saw that they had returned again.
"Excuse me, is there a back door?"
Ouyang Zhen and the three of them had already begun to come around the wall to the back of the house.
"There's a little door."
Niu Dali and his wife also followed.
"Go back quickly, and if anyone asks, say we're gone."
Ouyang Zhen clasped his hands into fists, took out a few taels of silver and handed them over.
"Let's leave these horses here first, and take care of them. Thanks a lot! β
Without waiting for Niu Dali to reply, the three of them had already walked out of the small brown door in the backyard and headed towards the mountain.
As soon as Niu Dali and his wife returned to the courtyard, the village chief came in with a few people.
"Dali, I heard that there are outsiders in your house?"
The relationship between the village chief and Dali is still very good.
"Oh, a friend, who was leading his two children on business, passed by me and had a bite to eat. They're gone. β
Niu Dali glanced at his wife.
"You're doing a good job, don't leave outsiders to spend the night in the village!"
After the village chief finished speaking, he turned back to the people behind him: "Dali can still be trusted, and there will be no strangers." β
There were five people behind the village chief, and it was the five men in black who followed closely behind.
"What's your friend's last name?"
A man in black said.
"Oh, his surname is Liu, and he's been doing some small business."
Niu Dali had already noticed that something was wrong, but there was no way, so he had to prevaricate.
Seeing that Niu vigorously replied, the man in black did not ask again.
"If they come again, please let us know immediately."
The man in black said vigorously to the village chief and the cow.
"Don't worry, there will be no outsiders in our village."
Once again, the village chief made assurances.
The man in black saw the three horses in the courtyard, but was not suspicious. Niu Dali's compound has all kinds of animals, including horses, which is normal.
The five men in black left Niu Dali's house.
"Vigorously, don't lose a big one next time!"
The village chief knew that the three horses were not Niu Dali's.
The five black-clothed powerhouses walked around the village a few times, and indeed did not find anything abnormal.
A man in black said: "They should not dare to take the main road, they can only pass through the mountains to reach Shayan Pass." We seem to be late. β
Another man in black said, "You mean they have been to this Luohua Village?" β
"They don't disappear for no reason. I'm not sure when I came, or if I'm still on my way, but they're bound to get into this mountain, a natural barrier. β
"Okay, let's go straight into the mountain!"
Several black-clothed men walked briskly in the direction that Ouyang Zhen and the others had just entered the mountain.
The mountains behind Luohua Village are next to each other, some with names and some without names. Rolling and undulating, stretching for thousands of miles! The mountains are lush with vegetation, and even in autumn and winter, the endless greenery is not much less. The country of the north is really fertile ground everywhere.
From time to time, there were a few chirping of birds in the mountains, and the wind pierced through the forest gaps, hitting people as if they had been splashed with cold water.
"This mountain is so big!"
Chu Ye raised his eyes to see the end, and found that the end of the mountain was still a mountain.
"Try to talk as little as possible and keep your energy up! You haven't forgotten the map you memorized before, have you? β
Ouyang Zhen emphasized again.
"No, it's all in my head!"
Chu Ye stepped directly over a small ditch, and there was no trace of shortness of breath in his voice.
Xia Bing nodded slightly.
Chu Ye and Xia Bing both had experience in surviving in the secret realm, and now it really came in handy.
The trio stopped talking and pushed forward at great speed, trying to reach a relatively safe area before sunset.
I just crossed a small hill and saw a bigger mountain in front of me.
Ouyang Zhen raised his eyes and looked at it, did not speak, and gently pulled Chu Ye and Xia Bing.
At the bottom left of the hill, there is a giant python lying on its stomach!
This giant python is dark green all over, and it blends in the pine forest.
The python was coiled in a big knot, which seemed to be more than three zhang long, and its body was as thick as the pine tree next to it. It was spitting out letters, lying on its stomach unmoving, as if it was asleep, not knowing what it was thinking.
Chu Ye took a light step forward, he had the soul of a snake in his body, and he didn't know if it would work.
The giant python suddenly looked up at Chu Ye, Chu Ye smiled, but his hand stretched out behind him.
After a while, the python fell back and continued to think about life.
It really worked, Chu Ye was very happy.
Suddenly, the python stood upright and crossed the middle of the mountain road, blocking the way of the three of them.
The dark green snake made people shudder, and I saw it shaking its huge body slightly as if it was drunk.
The sun was shining on the scales of the giant python, like pieces of armor reflecting the sunlight, shaking Chu Ye at the front couldn't open his eyes.
None of the three moved, and snakes don't usually attack humans unless they feel in danger.
The four creatures just looked at each other like this, no one moved, and Chu Ye blinked occasionally.
The python probably felt a little bored and slowly turned around.
Its turn was truly earth-shattering, and several trees were directly brought down by the snake's body.
The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the tail of the giant python slashed horizontally, like a thousand-year-old pine tree swept over, and it was really invincible!
The whirring wind came instantly, and the three of them just relaxed, and their bodies tightened again, but they were still a step late.
Shrinking their necks and hiding their heads, the three of them almost lay on the ground, dodging the powerful sweep of their tails, but they were swept by the tiger-like wind, and the clothes of the three of them instantly clinged to their bodies, and a heart-piercing strangulation went straight to the tip of their hearts.
"This guy knows tactics!"
Chu Ye crooked his mouth and screamed for a while.
Ouyang Zhen couldn't hide his shock, this giant python seemed to have spirituality, and it was not easy to deal with!
The python slowly turned around, still not moving.
"I don't know if this green guy has any accomplices!"
Xia Bing's words made Chu Ye's newly ignited desire to fight suddenly cool by half.
They don't dare to move, they can't move yet.
And so, in the presence of the sun, a quarter of an hour passed.
Chu Ye and Xia Bing looked at Ouyang Zhen, they couldn't go on like this!
"It's not badly hurt, is it?"
Ouyang Zhen turned behind Chu Ye.
"We don't have a big deal, it's just a pain!"
"That's good, I can't wait any longer, I'm afraid that someone will chase after me!"
Ouyang Zhen glanced at the mountain road behind him.
"You two will pass through the woods in front right in a moment, I'll go get it out of the way, and then I'll look for you!"
At the critical moment, Ouyang Zhen chose to stay by himself.
"That's not good, I'm afraid, I'll stay, it shouldn't be my opponent!"
Chu Ye didn't wait for Ouyang Zhen to speak, picked up the sword and jumped up, stabbing the giant python's eyes.
The python shook its head and slammed the sword with the sharp armor on its head.
"Bell!"
There was a shallow white mark on the head of the giant python, and there was actually a small gap on the Xuantie sword.
Chu Ye fell back to the same place, "Let's go up together, kill it first!" β
Xia Bing held the golden spear of the top grade of the spirit jade and soared into the sky, Ouyang Zhen showed a war knife, the blade flashed, and slashed at the seven inches of the snake, Chu Ye's two swords flew together, and the royal double sword stabbed the giant python's stomach.
The three strongest men attack at the same time, and this power can directly kill those who tear the four shackles!
Although the python has strength, it is not flexible enough. Just dodged Xia Bing's golden spear, and was cut by Chu Ye's flying sword, the most fatal thing is Ouyang Zhen's battle knife, Lingyu intermediate, the knife hit seven inches!
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, the wind was loud on the mountains, and the sound of collision went straight into the sky!
Gradually, the python was defeated. It slowly retreated, trying to escape under the cover of the trees.
"Don't chase!"
When Chu Ye heard this, he hurriedly returned his sword and retreated to Ouyang Zhen's side.
"Mr. Ouyang, wouldn't it have ended long ago if you fought like this earlier? Why do you have to let me and Xia Bing go first? β
"Silly boy, such a big movement, it's hard for them to find us?"
Chu Ye instantly became excited, and said in his heart: It's broken! After such a long delay, those people should have ......
