Volume 1 Chapter 45 There are rocks like forests
Stone Forest!
It is in a vast land that countless Xingluo stone mountains of different sizes and heights grow out of thin air.
According to ancient records, the formation of such a peculiar landform is a process of tempering.
Time, weathering, currents, animals, all indispensable!
Trail Mountain, which is generally a mountain range, naturally has countless entrances to go up the mountain.
The stone forest in front of you is the gentlest trailhead, but because of the stone mountain like a chess piece, it is the most complicated of all the trailheads.
Because the appearance of each stone mountain will divide the fork in the road, and the superposition of the fork and the fork makes this stone forest seem unpredictable.
And at this moment, Xu Yan was standing on the edge of this stone forest full of variables.
A few days ago, Xu Yan relied on his superb memory to engrave all the lines of this stone forest labyrinth in his mind.
A few hours ago, Xu Yan relied on this complex maze to get rid of the entangled Nanyan.
This trip to the village can be said to have made Xu Yan full of harvest.
Xu Yan handed over the huge bow and crossbow to the infestation for temporary safekeeping;
returned the fist-sized metal square to Liu Linbo, and repeatedly told the kid not to tell anyone about the old man in red, and left him enough silver tickets to wait for Xu Yan's news in the village.
Through communication with the infected person surnamed Zhao, Xu Yan finally completely filled the depression on the memory slate, and also knew the murderer of Thrush and Chi Kaisheng.
However, Xu Yan's biggest doubt is that through the words of the infected person surnamed Zhao, the so-called third master is Xu Hanguang, that is, Xu Yan's current identity.
But Ning Hua, the leader of the Equality Sect, is an all-knowing and all-powerful figure, not only Xu Yan's identity, but even the tattoo on his back can be explained in one word.
Can't you see that Xu Hanguang, who is hand-pulled, is an infector?
Or! Is there a bigger conspiracy hidden here?
Xu Yan returned according to the route of the stone forest labyrinth in his memory, and when he was about to reach the exit, Xu Yan saw an acquaintance.
This acquaintance is an old man from the dumpling shop in the mountain, and before the equal trial, Xu Yan chose to let him go.
The old man lay on the ground alone, moaning incessantly, and the flat burden of transporting the goods pressed on him very inappropriately. The flour and vegetables in the load and the pork are scattered all over the ground.
Looking closely at the old man's feet, there was a small stone that seemed to be the culprit of this scene.
Xu Yan didn't think about it so much, and subconsciously stepped forward and leaned over to ask the old man's physical condition.
Probably because it was too painful, the old man directly grabbed Xu Yan's hand and didn't let go for a long time.
But right now!
In Xu Yan's ears, some footsteps suddenly came in.
Subsequently, several figures kept shuttling between the stone forests.
Xu Yan wanted to stand up, but the old man grabbed Xu Yan's hand!
Xu Yan instantly understood that he had fallen into a designed trap!
Although he has a tattoo, dying here inexplicably is not the result Xu Yan wants!
Xu Yan exerted his strength and stood up directly, and the old man who grabbed Xu Yan's hands was also broken, and directly used his hands and feet to wrap around Xu Yan's hands!
Xu Yan didn't care about anything else, he stood up with this old man in his hand!
Right now!
A figure flashed out from Xu Yan's visual blind spot!
There was an additional masked person in front of Xu Yan in an instant, and the old man hanging on Xu Yan's hand saw this person, and bowed his body very cooperatively, exposing Xu Yan's hands.
Electrifying and flint!
The masked man unfolded a scroll with his left hand, and at the same time pinched a mantra with his right hand, chanting aloud:
"For the law is the lock, the road is blocked, and it is forbidden!"
Immediately, the technique of his right hand unfolded, and he pointed at Xu Yan's fixed hands.
Meanwhile!
Two earthy yellow rays of light leaped out from the masked man's fingers and scrolls at the same time!
Sou!
In a flash!
The earthy yellow light lingered on Xu Yan's hands, forming a fog ball!
Seeing the formation of the fog, the old man immediately let go of his hands and feet and hurriedly broke away from Xu Yan. Before leaving, I didn't forget to give Xu Yan a sneering look! Then it disappeared at the end of the Walk Mountain.
Xu Yan tried hard to separate his hands, but found that the technique of this fog was so powerful that he couldn't break free for a while!
Of course, because of the price of the powerful spell, the masked man in front of Xu Yan almost collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
But the masked man's eyes were full of hope, and he subconsciously looked at a stone mountain beside Xu Yan.
Behind the stone mountain, another figure flashed!
This person jumped high, held a long sword, and stabbed at Xu Yan's head!
This sword falls!
Xu Yan will die!
This whole set of assassinations is sprinkled and hearty! There is no hesitation or hesitation!
The current Xu Yan will only instantaneously use some low-level healing techniques.
But in the face of this attack that hits the point, it is obviously a drop in the bucket!
Xu Yan accepted his fate and closed his eyes!
This tattoo is gone!
For!
The sound of gold and stone suddenly came!
Xu Yan looked sideways and saw another acquaintance!
At this moment, Nanyan was standing beside Xu Yan, she held the turquoise hairpin in her backhand, made a defensive start, and looked ahead vigilantly.
That killing blow just now was clearly blocked by Nanyan.
Following Nanyan's gaze, the swordsman stood five steps away with a long sword in one hand, making a posture of attacking at any time, obviously not intending to give up.
The scene instantly fell into a stalemate!
The swordsman was not masked, so Xu Yan could see his face clearly.
This swordsman was about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a relatively flat nose, and from his face alone, Xu Yan knew the ins and outs of this assassination.
Nan Yan directly asked the swordsman loudly, "Chi Minghui! Are you sure you'll defeat me before the end of your Imprisonment spell? ”
Nanyan understands the current form very well, as long as it is delayed until the imprisoning spell fails, with two enemies and one, this swordsman will be defeated.
This swordsman named Chi Minghui, just by looking at his eyebrows and age, he knew that he was the elder of Chi Kaisheng's family, and he could join forces with the old man in the dumpling shop to form a killing game, and the reason for this assassination was naturally needless to say.
The swordsman Chi Minghui did not respond to Nan Yan's questioning, but instead took Xu Yan and Nan Yan as the center, wandering around irregularly.
In Xu Yan's view, Chi Minghui has already answered with actions. Chi Minghui didn't plan to defeat Nanyan, and was ready to look for an opportunity to kill Xu Yan directly.
Nanyan also saw Chi Minghui's intentions, held the turquoise hairpin with his forehand, pointed at Chi Minghui with the sharpest position of the hairpin, and said solemnly:
"I'm afraid you've forgotten, remind you that this hairpin is a magic weapon, called Silence! As long as it cuts the slightest, the soul will be silent and the body will be extinct! ”
The swordsman Chi Minghui wandered left and right, undisturbed by Nanyan's verbal warning. The answer conveyed by this is very clear, even if it is one for one, Chi Minghui has no regrets.
Faced with this situation, the masked man lying on the side also regained some strength, he trembled and supported the ground with one hand, and stood up slowly.
Just as Chi Minghui walked to the masked man's side, the masked man suddenly formed a magic spell with his hands, and said in a trembling voice:
"Bless the sacred tree, and the spirit is manifested..."
This is a blessing!
Are you planning to die and the net is broken?
Chi Minghui heard the curse, stopped wandering, and stood in front of the masked man.
Is this to prepare for the ordination?
Instantly!
Chi Minghui turned around and struck an elbow and hit the masked man in the face firmly.
Zhu Ling's spell was naturally interrupted by this ferocious attack, and the masked man fell to the ground unconscious.
Chi Minghui held a long sword in his hand and danced a sword flower, the sword light was bright, and it was better than Chi Kaisheng.
However, after the sword flower dance, Chi Minghui actually put the sword directly into the sheath, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Xu Yan and Nanyan in a daze.
This series of assassinations?
Was it a temptation?
Just when everyone was very confused, Chi Minghui spoke:
"A day ago, the old man of the dumpling shop and the person who would wish to wish the spirit found me and hoped that I would help them uphold justice!"
Then, Chi Minghui leaned down, put away the scroll beside the masked man, put it into his cuffs, and continued:
"Although I already knew the outcome of the equal trial, I couldn't help but agree to them, a few hours ago, we followed you here, and in the case of making sure that we were not discovered by Nanyan, we hid and waited for the opportunity just now!
Although I know that the equal trial proves that you are not lying! Although I am also the Venerable One hand-drawn by the Sect Master! Although I am also very aware that as long as it is a task, there may be a risk of failure!
But! Chi Kaisheng is my only brother after all! We grew up practicing together and growing up together! In the years without parents, I was both an elder brother and a parent, and I was a late winner! He didn't deserve to die so quietly!
The day before the equal trial, I received news from that village, and I knew very well that he had died in Chi Kaisheng. But I began to get angry, I began to lose control of myself, and I couldn't control the use of this long sword in my hand to pierce your Xu Hanguang's head!
Because at the beginning, it was you who personally promised me that this mission would be safe and sound, and Chi Kaisheng would definitely return safely, but you deceived me! Xu Hanguang! ”
After saying this, Chi Minghui picked up the masked man who was already unconscious and walked slowly towards the exit of the stone forest.
After taking a few steps, Chi Minghui stopped, turned his back to Xu Yan and Nanyan and explained:
"Before we follow you, the sect leader sent a message, let Xu Hanguang come over for a trip, I have already brought this to me!
According to the news from the brothers in the sect, Yecheng seems to have gathered a large number of troops from the Holy Crown Temple, which is estimated to have something to do with the recent arrival of the Holy Land of Enlightenment.
Three days later, it will be the selection of the sect to enter the Holy Land of Enlightenment, if I meet you again on the competition platform, I will definitely not give you the opportunity to release any spells, a sword directly pierced your head! ”
After saying these seemingly true and false words, Chi Minghui disappeared at the end of Xingdao Mountain.
And at this moment, the yellow light mist on Xu Yan's hands slowly dissipated, and his hands moved as before.
And Nanyan turned around and said to Xu Yan:
"His Holiness..."
