The Qianfengling mountain road is built according to the mountain, often one side is a steep mountain wall, the other side is a hundred zhang abyss, the road is narrow, and the wind is not small, adding a bit of danger to this road.

Jiang Cheng said worriedly: "I hope I don't meet the bandits that the villagers say." ”

Duanmuhong said lightly: "Brother Jiang, we don't know where the thieves' lair is, so how can we avoid the thieves?" Thinking too much is just a waste of energy. ”

Bin muttered in a low voice: "If it weren't for the eldest young master's hot brain, he had to walk, how could we have to walk in such a strange place." ”

Complaining is complaining, and the road still has to go.

The weather in the mountains is changing rapidly, and the sun is still clear and scorching, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds cover the sun, and the wind is howling. Fortunately, there are many natural caves along the way, and some of them still have traces of smoke, so I think there were merchants who stopped here not long ago.

A bonfire was lit in the cave, which was on a higher ground and did not have to worry about rain backing up, but the temperature was much cooler than before.

It was early spring, and the sudden drop in temperature made Xiahou Jinxuan and others have to change into cold-resistant clothes, Xie Cangxing's cultivation is profound, and he relies on his true qi to keep out the cold, but the flaws of his martial arts are also indifferent, he just took out a thin piece of clothing and draped it on his body.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jinxuan said, "Flawed girl, you ......"

Knowing what Xiahou Jinxuan was going to say, he interrupted: "I haven't been afraid of the cold since I was a child, but I'm not as delicate as you......"

Xiahou Jinxuan couldn't help but blush, and when he saw him wrapped in a thick fox coat and trembling slightly, he couldn't help laughing.

"Sister, I still have some warm clothes here, you can change them."

Twilight said that she was about to go to get the baggage, but was stopped by Flaw, and said, "Sister Twilight, I'm really fine." ”

Looking at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, Jiang Cheng sighed: "It seems that we can't go today." ”

Twilight Lan looked out of the cave and said, "I don't know what that Mr. Duanmu is thinking, so I have to stand outside and guard." ”

At this moment, Duanmuhong is watching the scenery in the distance outside the cave, but if the people in the cave are here, they will find that all the rain, as long as it falls within a zhang of his body, will be pulled by an inexplicable force, thus circling around his body.

A strong wind struck, blowing the belt of his clothes floating, and at this time the vision was abrupt, but the rain flowing around him was like a sharp blade, and the belt of his clothes was cut off!

Duanmuhong opened his eyes and saw that his sleeves and placket had been cut, which did not look like a scratch at all, and sighed: "It's still far away!" ”

No one could have imagined that he was actually sharpening his fine control of the sword intent with the rain in the sky, and every drop of rain was under the control of the sword intent, turning into countless small sharp swords, circling around his body, and if he was not careful, the water sword would cut through the skin or coat.

Although after he comprehended the sword intent, he could send and receive every move like a heart, but what if he divided a heart into thousands of parts? Fine control of one's true qi is difficult, but it is not impossible to do, but the sword intent is born from the heart, and to achieve subtle control of the sword intent, that is, to completely control one's heart, this is a major test for his state of mind.

The night passed, the sky finally cleared, bringing a fresh breath to the valley, relatively, the mountain road also became more slippery, so that the footsteps of several people were greatly slowed down, fortunately, everyone was safe for five days, don't say that Jiang Chengxin's thief doesn't know where it is, even the birds in the sky are rare to see one for half a day.

This area is all bare rocky mountains, and it is difficult for plants and trees to grow, and it is obviously difficult to grow any living creatures.

At this time, seeing that the scorching sun was shining, Xiahou Jinxuan was already out of breath, Jiang Cheng said: "You guys rest for a while, and we will rush in the afternoon." ”

At this time, Duanmuhong's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Brother Jiang, there seems to be someone ahead!" ”

Xiahou Jinxuan said: "It can't be a bandit, right?" ”

"Yes or no, you can see it at a glance." Duanmuhong said: "Brother Xie, Miss Dusk, Miss Flaw, you protect Brother Xiahou, and Brother Jiang will go with me to investigate." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.

The two walked forward for more than 100 zhang, and Duanmuhong suddenly stopped at the corner, stopped Jiang Cheng, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, look! ”

Jiang Cheng stretched out his head to investigate, but saw three sword-wielding men surrounding the two foot merchants, demanding money from them, and wielding their blades in their hands from time to time as a threat.

The two walked back to meet the group and explained the situation.

"There are really bandits!" Xiahou Jinxuan said: "Since this is the case, it will be solved easily, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”

Bianji had already drawn his twin swords and said, "They are in danger now, let's go and save people quickly!" ”

Jiang Cheng vetoed: "Don't be reckless! The enemy has captured two people, and once the dog jumps over the wall, he will definitely take them hostage, and it will be difficult to clean them up then! ”

Xiahou Jinxuan asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Duanmuhong said lightly: "Show the form of the enemy, try to lure them over!" ”

Defect smiled slightly and said, "Then leave it to me!" ”

At the same time, the other side.

"! It seems that there is really no oil and water to be squeezed. ”

One of the thin-faced bandits threw his luggage aside, shook his long knife at the two trembling footmen, and for a moment he became disgusted, and said, "Just ...... the two of them."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a tall bandit and said, "No." As he spoke, he also reached out and pressed the handle of his knife and admonished: "You forgot what the eldest brother said......

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and turned around and scolded: "Oops, who smashed me?!" As he spoke, he clenched the machete in his hand.

"Big brother, there's someone there!"

The thin-faced bandit had sharp eyes, and he had already spotted a figure flashing by, hidden behind a boulder.

"Let's go over and take a look, these two can't run anyway."

Finally, the round-faced bandit glanced at the two merchants who had cowered on the ground in fright, and felt that they could easily be captured even if they fled.

When he walked to the boulder, he saw no human figure, and the tall thief roared angrily: "Which bastard dares to smash Lao Tzu, get out!" ”

"I can only walk, I won't roll, what should I do~" Defect chuckled and turned out from the corner of the mountain road.

The three thieves never thought that it was a little girl who attacked them and others. "How daring! A little girl dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head? ”

"Hehe, are you really sure it's one?" As the words fell, a green shadow burst out, standing beside Flaw, it was the twilight orchid who was holding the Youlan sword.

Xiahou Jinxuan walked out and said loudly: "You are the thieves entrenched here? I advise you to abandon your sword and surrender, surrender yourself as soon as possible, and don't do this bullying again. ”

At the same time, Duanmuhong and Jiang Cheng jumped behind the bandits and formed a circle around the three of them.

The tall thief looked disdainful and sneered: "Just a few little white faces dare to talk big to the little girls?" Let's see how Grandpa cleans you up! As he spoke, his eyes flashed sharply, and he swung his knife at Xiahou Jinxuan, who looked the weakest.

Xie Cangxing was guarding in front of Xiahou Jinxuan, blocking the sword of the bandits, and suddenly felt a huge force coming from the sword body, and he was shocked: "This group of people is only a second- or third-rate level, but they have such a huge strength, they are definitely not ordinary human beings!" ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly reminded: "Be careful! Thieves are eccentric! ”

The tall bandit shouted at his brother next to him, "Hey! Even the human beings dare to go against the masters, brothers, slaughter them, the leader will not blame us! Apparently he thought that everyone was showing cowardice.

As soon as Xie Cangxing said this, everyone immediately understood that since the bandit was not a human being, he didn't need to show mercy anymore, but seeing the luck in Dusk Lan's hand, Youlan's thin sword passed by, and immediately cut the machete of the three of them into two.

"Stick to the point!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the thin man must be the one who would suffer if he continued to fight, so he hurriedly gestured to the two brothers, and the three of them hurriedly jumped out of the battle circle, and after leaving a cruel word, they ran away.

The thieves departed, and the two merchants took stock of the goods, except for some scattered silver coins, and did not damage the goods, and thanked everyone for their kindness before leaving.

Xiahou Jinxuan asked, "Brother Jiang, don't you have to chase those escaped bandits?" ”

Xie Cangxing immediately agreed to this: "Yes, yes, if you don't do anything, let's just go to the thieves' nest and finish their lair, maybe we can still get some food, clothing, and flowers...... No matter how you hear this, there is a little bit of black and black taste.

Duanmuhong shook his head and said, "There is a way, don't chase after the poor." Although the kung fu of those guys just now is poor, their strength is very comparable, and they also mention 'mere human beings' in their words...... I'm afraid there are stronger guys in their lair! ”

He knew very well that most of the half-demon thieves on Qianfeng Ridge were forced by the human race to fall into the grass, and their essence was just a group of human beings who were infected by demonic qi and had undergone mutations, and they really wanted to kill these people, but I was afraid that the brothers of the Seven Heroes would look down on him in the future.

"That's a good point." Jiang Cheng also agreed with Duanmuhong's statement, "Before we find out the true strength of the bandits, rash pursuit can only lead to danger, and when I return to the Folding Sword Villa, I will show the family master and ask him to send someone to clean up the bandits." ”

Everyone continued to move forward, and after another hour, Xiahou Jinxuan saw that the flaw had been looking around, and his heart was surprised, and asked, "What is the flawed girl looking at?" ”

"This road is too peaceful, I thought that the bandits who escaped just now would bring people back for revenge!"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng also secretly felt that it was not good, generally speaking, it is impossible for bandits to do it alone, there must be a huge cottage for them to live in, since they have suffered a loss, there is no reason to give up, but this road is too peaceful...... Suddenly, Jiang Cheng felt a chill in his heart, and he was surprised that both sides of the mountain road were cliffs, and the field of vision was extremely not wide, which was really an ideal terrain for ambushes, if the intention of the bandits was this......

I only heard Xiahou Jinxuan say again: "The flawed girl's words are bad, and the art of war is cloudy: ten will surround it, and five will attack it." We are much stronger than them, and if these thieves want to overcome us, they will need more men to surround us......

didn't wait for Xiahou Jinxuan to finish speaking, but heard Duanmuhong smile and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Xiahou is quite a soldier." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan said modestly: "Ashamed! It's just a piece of paper! ”

Duanmu Hong said: "This is true, otherwise you wouldn't have walked into the enemy and still didn't know it." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan was stunned and said, "Brother Gongyun, what are you talking about?" ”

Duanmuhong smiled and didn't answer, but shouted to the top of the mountain: "The mountain king above, since we have already entered the mountain, don't you dare to make a move?" ”
