Chapter 18: The Theory of Marriage, Attacked
Lanzhou, Wild Wolf Ridge.
Wild Wolf Ridge is a mountain range more than 300 miles north of Biyun Mountain, named because of the gathering of wolves.
On this day, Zhou Chun, who was originally an assistant teacher of the Mu family in Biyun Mountain, followed several Mu family monks to ride the [Ink Scale Horse] to wade through mountains and rivers and came to this mountain.
Their intention this time was very simple, a monk of the Mu family found a pair of demon wolves giving birth in the mountains, and was going to snatch a few wolf cubs and domesticate them to become spiritual pets.
The reason why Zhou Zhou Chun was called with him was to prevent any abnormal reactions after the wolf cubs left the nest, and he could deal with them in time.
To put it bluntly, I asked him to come over and be a babysitter for the wolf cubs.
For this reason, he had already paid ten spirit coins in advance as errands.
At this time, after a group of five people rode three [Ink Scale Horses] to a stop under a mountain peak, a middle-aged man from the Mu family in the lead said:
"That wolf is nesting on the mountain range more than ten miles ahead, the [Ink Scale Horse] has moved too much in the past, I'm afraid it will alarm those beasts, Zhou Daoyou, you and Zi Ying are here to watch the [Ink Scale Horse], and when we get it, we will send a signal to inform you to go over."
When Zhou Chun heard this, he was naturally happy and relaxed, and even responded: "Then Zhou wished Mu Daoyou a victory." ”
Then they dismounted and separated.
After the middle-aged man from the Mu family left with the two monks of the same clan, Zhou Chun and Mu Ziying casually threw some raw meat for the three [Ink Scale Horses] to eat, and they chatted with each other.
Chatting like this, Mu Ziying suddenly said: "Zhou Daoyou, I heard that several young monks of your Zhou family have recently married several immortal cultivators in Lanzhou, don't you have this idea?" ”
Zhou Chun, who heard her words, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at her with surprise on his face, he didn't expect her to ask such a personal question at all.
The relationship between the two should not have reached the point of saying such a thing.
Seeing that he just looked at himself in surprise and didn't answer, Mu Ziying also realized something, couldn't help lowering his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "If Zhou Daoyou feels that it is inconvenient to answer, then let's assume that Ziying didn't ask." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "Zhou doesn't know why Mu Daoyou suddenly asked such a question, but Zhou really hasn't thought of looking for a double cultivator at the moment. ”
God is pitiful, after he crossed over, he finally got rid of the matter of urging marriage, how could he still have this idea.
Isn't it fragrant for a person to be free?
Even if he really wants to get married in the future, he has to wait until he is alone and lonely, and then think about finding a partner.
After listening to his answer, Mu Ziying immediately nodded and said, "Ziying understands, thank you Zhou Daoyou for being honest." ”
Then he bowed his head and fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help muttering in his heart.
If she hadn't come back to her senses before, now after Mu Ziying's words, Zhou Chun seemed to understand why she suddenly came out today.
Because Zhou Chun had already remembered at this time, among the people who had recently married with other families, there were just two clan brothers and sisters who were sent to other families as assistant teachers more than a year ago.
Thinking of it again, after he came to the Mu family, the Mu family has always arranged for Mu Ziying, a beautiful girl, to be his contact person and take his beast class, everything seems to be clear and clear.
"So she was also urged to marry by the family, so she had a showdown with me like this today?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for Mu Ziying.
He understands very well how much pressure his family members have to urge him to get married, and even many of the highly educated people in his previous life can't bear the pressure to compromise, let alone this conservative and feudal world.
If Mu Ziying has excellent qualifications, the Mu family will definitely not be in a hurry to marry such a female cultivator who may build a foundation in the future.
But as far as Zhou Chun knew, Mu Ziying's spiritual root qualification was actually inferior, and now at the age of nineteen, she was only at the fourth level of cultivation in the Qi refining period.
This means that she simply has little chance of building a foundation for success in the future.
In this case, the Mu family will definitely want to take advantage of her current youth and beauty to find a good family for her.
It's just that sympathy is sympathy, and Zhou Chun obviously doesn't have the noble sentiment of "sacrificing himself to save others".
Therefore, after staring at the girl's slender figure for a few moments, he shook his head slightly, and also lowered his head and counted the ants.
Just when the two of them were thinking about their own things and were silent, suddenly a fireball flew into the air and exploded.
This is a pre-agreed signal, but this signal will inevitably appear too quickly, right?
Zhou Chun felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he didn't rush over to join him immediately, but raised his hand first and let go of the "red-billed finch" that had been raised by him all along.
After a while, the "red-billed finch" flew back and chattered with Zhou Chun to exchange reconnaissance information.
After Zhou Chun listened to the investigation results of the "red-billed finch", his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help blurting out: "It's not good, Mu Daoyou, they are in trouble, that's a signal for help!" ”
When Mu Ziying heard what he said, her face changed suddenly, and she said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" Zhou Daoyou, do you know who the enemy they encountered is? ”
"The enemy is also an immortal cultivator, and it is likely that he is a casual cultivator who ventures into the mountain, and there are as many as six or seven people."
Zhou Chun frowned as he spoke about the situation, as if it was difficult to make some decision.
And after Mu Ziying heard that the enemy was an immortal cultivator, and the number of people was twice as large as the Mu family monks who entered the mountain, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what to do.
After a while, Zhou Chun suddenly made up his mind, raised his head and said to Mu Ziying: "That's it, Mu Daoyou, you first take care of the [Ink Scale Horse] here and don't move, Zhou went over to see the specific situation, if he could accept Mu Daoyou and them leaving, it would naturally be best, if not, Zhou would also look at who the enemy was!" ”
"Then there is Lao Zhou Daoyou, Daoyou, you should be more careful."
Mu Ziying looked at Zhou Chun with worried eyes, and knew that this was the best way.
She had only reached the fourth level of cultivation in the Qi refining period, so it was impossible for her to help with this kind of thing at all.
And Zhou Chunke is a distinguished guest of the Mu family, and the Mu family has the responsibility to protect him, counting on Zhou Chun to sacrifice his life to save people, how is that possible.
Now that Zhou Chun is willing to help, she and the Mu family are grateful.
After explaining Mu Ziying in this way, Zhou Chun immediately hurried towards the location of the battlefield.
Half an hour later, he climbed a large tree and condescendingly saw the situation on the battlefield.
I saw that on the battlefield, the situation was very bad for the three members of the Mu family.
The enemies faced by the three of them didn't seem to be ordinary casual cultivators, not only did they all have seven or eight layers of Qi refining stage and above, but they also had sophisticated magic weapons in their hands, and some even domesticated spirit pets.
At this time, the three members of the Mu family were besieged by enemies who were outnumbered by themselves, and even if they tried their best to resist, they were not opponents at all.
"Who the hell are you? Do you know that we are the monks of the Mu family of Biyun Mountain? Hurt me today for no reason, aren't you afraid of my Mu family's revenge? ”
An angry roar came from the mouth of the middle-aged man of the Mu family, and he glared at the enemy opposite with anger on his face, not understanding what these people were doing.
The two sides obviously have no hatred or grudges, they don't know each other, and there is no conflict of interest, why should they be killed as soon as they meet?
But the enemies who heard his roar turned a deaf ear, and did not answer any of his words, but either sneered or looked at him with disdain, and looked at him like a dead man.
In the distance, after Zhou Chun saw this situation, his heart also sank, knowing that it was useless to rescue the three members of the Mu family.
He suspected that those people were not ordinary casual cultivators, but probably some casual cultivator group or people from the Immortal Cultivation family, who had the strength to not be afraid of the Mu family.
And they killed a few people in the Mu family for no reason, either indicating that a few people have a grudge against the Mu family, or explaining that there is any treasure in this Wild Wolf Ridge, they are worried that they will leak the news and want to kill them.
No matter which one it is, Zhou Chun's desire to save people will definitely attract the crazy pursuit of these people.
Therefore, he quickly got down from the treetops and prepared to go back and tell Mu Ziying to leave quickly.
But just as Zhou Chun was getting down the tree, a hovering falcon in the sky suddenly stared at him, and then opened its mouth and let out a sharp roar.
"Oh no, they still have accomplices outside!"
On the battlefield, after hearing the eagle's whistle, an immortal cultivator's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the eagle falcon in the sky with a frightened face, and then followed the eagle falcon's guidance to look in the direction of Zhou Chun and shouted.
At the same time, Zhou Chun's face also changed wildly.
He glanced at the eagle falcon in the sky with an ugly face, but he didn't expect that he, an immortal cultivator of the Royal Beast Family, would also be pecked by the eagle today.
"There are really a lot of talented people in the world, today's things, we must take it as a warning in the future!"
Sighing like this in his heart, Zhou Chunren rushed to Mu Ziying's place as fast as he could.
When he arrived at the place, he didn't wait for Mu Ziying to ask about the situation, he jumped directly on the back of the [Ink Scale Horse], and then shouted: "Run away, the enemy is coming." ”
After saying that, he beat his horse and rushed out.
Seeing this, even though Mu Ziying had many doubts in her heart, she could only turn over and get on the horse and run away together.
Two people, three horses, galloped along the way, and did not dare to stop at all.
Even in order to speed up the horse, Zhou Chun and the others also performed the "Light Body Technique" to bless the [Ink Scale Horse].
If it weren't for the "Wind Resisting Technique" that couldn't bless others, they were afraid that they would even have to use it.
And the enemies who were chasing Zhou Chun over, after seeing their backs riding the [Ink Scale Pony] away, their faces suddenly became very ugly.
I saw him look at the backs of the two with an ugly face, hesitated for a while, and then suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "You don't want to run away!" ”
Before he finished speaking, he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a magic weapon shaped like a bamboo leaf and threw it in front of him.
Under the urging of mana, the magic weapon instantly grew to the size of a skateboard, emitting a flood of white light.
Then he jumped and jumped onto the bamboo leaf magic weapon that had become larger, and directly caused this magic weapon to fly towards Zhou Chun and the others.
Flying Magic!
It turned out to be a flying magic weapon!
On the back of the [Ink Scale Pony], Zhou Chun was also shocked and extremely surprised after seeing the enemy behind him who was chasing after the flying magic weapon.
Among the Qi Refining Stage cultivators, there are not many monks who have flying magic weapons.
First, it is because the flying magic weapon itself is relatively difficult to refine, and there are high requirements for materials and refining skills; The second reason is that this kind of magic weapon consumes too much mana for Qi refining period cultivators, and its actual use is not of great significance.
After all, when a Qi refining period monk is out of the house, his mana can be saved a little bit, so how can he be willing to use a flying magic weapon to fly in a hurry.
Now in order to chase and kill them, the enemy even took out the flying magic weapon, which made Zhou Chun feel bitter in his heart.
Although the galloping speed of [Ink Scale Horse] is fast, it is obviously not enough to see compared to the flying magic weapon.
His ugly face frequently looked back at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, and finally made up his mind to shout at Mu Ziying: "Mu Daoyou, the thieves are menacing, let's run separately, life and death have their own destiny!" ”
After speaking, he took the initiative to beat his horse and turned around, and fled with Mu Ziying in two ways.
