After instructing Yang Heng and the other five people to meet at the place where they needed to gather, Li Changyue didn't say anything more, turned around and left and returned to his residence. For the captain of the village guard, the team members must learn to pay attention to details and keep up with the rhythm.

Just after Li Changyue left, the five people below walked together to the place where the team members' dormitory lived.

At this time, a figure with an uneasy face flexibly ran to Yang Heng and the three years ago, it was Liu Sheng, he said with a smile and flattering: "Young Master Yang, Young Master Chen and Miss Han, this time I went out to inspect, and I also asked you to say a few kind words before Captain Li, I thank you in advance." ”

"Hmph, people like you, it's better to be less sycophant, it's annoying." The burly middle-aged martial artist named Duan Xiulai seemed to be very disdainful of Liu Sheng's behavior, and made a sarcastic sentence on the side.

"Hey, Lao Duan, I can't say that, I want to behave well and make meritorious atonements!" Liu Sheng saw Duan Xiulai belittle himself so much, and immediately defended.

Han Xiaoying covered her cherry mouth, and couldn't help but smile and said to Liu Sheng: "If you want to make meritorious service and atone for your sins so much, why don't you just say it to Captain Li, what are you afraid of?" ”

Liu Sheng's face turned red when he heard this, he knew that Li Changyue was not the kind of person who just listened to good words, and he had also learned Li Changyue's methods these days.

Yang Heng pulled Han Xiaoying by the hand at this time, followed Chen Kaizhi, and avoided Liu Sheng and Duan Xiulai behind him and whispered with a serious face: "Xiaoying, stay away from such people in the future, these people have been around for a long time, don't get too close to them, and don't forget their identity, Team Li never trusted them, and there must be considerations for taking them this time." ”

Chen Kaizhi, who is usually relatively silent, has always been more wary of Liu Sheng and Duan Xiulai, and he didn't want to talk to them, he glanced at the two people in front of him indifferently, ignored them, and turned to greet Yang Heng and Han Xiaoying: "We are still fully prepared this time, you also know the duties of the village guards these days, such an outing patrol may last for a few days, and we may also spend the night in the wilderness." ”

After speaking, he glanced behind him and said to Yang Heng and the others: "Brother Yang is right, Team Li secretly didn't tell us and a few captains to be optimistic about these two people, after all, they are two martial artists who have forged the sixth layer of the body, so as to prevent them from thinking crookedly." ”

A few people soon brought some weapons for survival in the wild, food and some medicines, and everyone wore a light chain mail on the inner lining of their clothes to protect the vital parts, and at the same time changed a pair of wear-resistant leather-soled cloth shoes, they knew: This time it is still very dangerous, but Li Changyue has always advocated taking the initiative, so even if Muramasa and others are worried, he has to go into the mountain.

Li Changyue returned to his residence, sorted out his things, and quickly walked to the west exit of the village, looked at the five-person team that had just arrived for a while, and walked in front of everyone.

Staring at the smoky, endless mountains and jungles in the distance, he knew what this outing meant, but he still had to go.

Li Changyue retracted his gaze: "This time I went out, it may last for several days, and the farthest may be five hundred miles away from Fenglin Village." "My orders must be carried out resolutely, and if anyone dares to escape, don't blame me for being rude."

pursed his lips, and said to Liu Sheng and Duan Xiulai in an indifferent tone: Liu Sheng, Duan Xiulai, I hope you two will not let me down.

"Team Li, I will obey the order!" Duan Xiulai replied.

"No, I won't let Team Lee down." Liu Sheng hurriedly said.

Seeing the appearance of the two people, it seems that Team Li asked them to arrange something special.

Chen Kaizhi saw that Li Changyue seemed to have special "care" for the two of them, and guessed in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go in through that mountain path, pay attention to maintain our physical strength and the abnormal movement around us, an attack in the jungle may happen at any time." Li Changyue stretched out his hand and pointed to a relatively gentle bluestone stepped road on the west side of the smooth mountain.

Everyone walked for a while on this quiet path full of flowers and trees on both sides, and passed by two guard towers used for guard and lookout at the top of the mountain, and several team members on duty here said hello to Li Changyue, but they were very surprised that Li Changyue dared to enter the dangerous place at this time, but they didn't say anything, they knew that Li Changyue's strength was second only to Mura Zheng in the village.

During this period, everyone except Li Changyue was attracted by this environment of birds and flowers, among which Han Xiaoying was a little girl, so a pair of delicate eyes kept turning around, as if she wanted to take in all the beautiful scenery. For this reason, Yang Heng kept reminding Han Xiaoying not to be too distracted. Chen Kaizhi and the three of them are accustomed to this, after all, in terms of the identities of these three people, they still have a lot of experience and have seen various scenes

Li Changyue looked at everyone's performance, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that everyone has their own story!" "Hopefully they will be able to get through this dangerous patrol safely."

"Captain Li, I have some questions I want to ask you, can you tell me about them?" Chen Kaizhi, who was following behind him, walked quickly towards Li Changyue at this time, and seemed to have been holding it in his heart for a long time, and said to Li Changyue.

Li Changyue slowed down and looked at the usually silent teenager, and said with some surprise: "Yes, if you have any problems, just say it, as long as I can tell you, I can tell it." ”

As if the question in his heart was very important to him, Chen Kaizhi asked with a slightly excited expression at this time: "Team Li, as far as I know, if a martial artist who is under the age of twenty-two and has reached the sixth level of forging can participate in the trial of the other courtyard, if you pass by becoming a disciple of the inner sect of the other courtyard, and at the same time become an outer disciple of the Huoyang City Family Alliance, but your strength is already so strong, why don't you participate in the trial and return to Huoyang City." ”

"Hehe, it's actually very simple," Li Changyue seemed to guess what Chen Kaizhi was thinking when he saw Chen Kaizhi asking such a question, but he still patiently told him, "Because the outer disciples of the family are actually only a little more welfare, and the others are no different from ordinary family disciples." "Moreover, as a martial artist, if you become the captain of the village guard before the age of twenty-two or above, you don't need to participate in the trial, as long as you apply, you can become a disciple of the outer sect of the family at any time."

"Oh, I see." Chen Kaizhi replied thoughtfully.

"Team Li, I have been in the other courtyard for two years, although I have learned a lot of things, but I am limited to qualifications, and so far I have only reached the peak of the fourth layer of the forging body, can you guide me?" Chen Kaizhi suddenly looked at Li Changyue with a firm look on his face at this time, and then continued, "I want to worship you as a teacher." ”

Li Changyue looked at the usually silent young man, his eyes were full of determination at this time, and then said with a calm face: "I can see that you are deep in thought, this is nothing, it is a good thing to have a heart towards the Tao." "But I want to remind you that attachment is a double-edged sword, which can make you achieve or destroy you, the key is how to use it."

Then looking at Chen Kaizhi who was thinking there, Li Changyue felt that this young man had a malleable appearance, and then said: "In fact, martial arts cultivation is a part of your own cultivation, and it is impossible for others to intervene too much, everyone has come over like this." "As for whether you have achieved it, but work hard, don't ask about the future, especially in the basic stage, if you have a bad idea of your own qualifications or hope that others will guide you more, then your own martial arts will no longer be pure, and the consequences will be a tragedy, even if you can make short-term progress, you will not go too far."

"I told you so much because you have a certain potential, I suggest that you really calm down and practice, and you will experience it in the future, and your spiritual realm will determine how far your martial arts path goes," Li Changyue said to him slowly, and then said in an inexplicable tone, "I am also a side branch of the family, I know why you came to this village, how to say it, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other." ”

"Thanks to Team Lee's guidance, I believe I will be able to reach your heights one day." Chen Kaizhi clasped his hands into fists and said to Li Changyue.

Then Chen Kaizhi exhaled a breath, and seemed to muster up the courage to say to Li Changyue: "Team Li, well, in fact, I was not originally called Chen Kaizhi, my original name was Yuan Baocheng, and I was a byscopic disciple of a small family. "Because of an accident in Huoyang City, the family declined, and I was forced to follow my mother's surname to the Chen family, but I was not very popular, so I came to Luofeng, the marginal town."

"Oh, good guy, is this directly coming to rob me of the halo of the protagonist, I have become an old grandfather," Li Changyue muttered in his heart, "The down-and-out son was bullied, so take this opportunity to counterattack!" ”

"What a mess." Li Changyue got rid of the "bad thoughts" in his mind. ”

Then, he said to Chen Kaizhi: "When you are strong, you are Yuan Baocheng, otherwise you are Chen Kaizhi, so do what you should do now." ”

"Everyone, pay attention, we have entered the Yuedang Forest for thirty miles, pay attention to vigilance." Li Changyue no longer talked about these things with Chen Kaizhi.

Half an hour later, the trees around the people who were still moving forward began to become taller, the original abundant sunlight began to become sparse, and there was occasionally a cool white mist around them, and their vision began to blur, except for the five people who were accompanied by Li Changyue, they were no longer relaxed just now.

Suddenly, a hissing sound sounded from the bushes on both sides of the team, as if something was rubbing the air, Li Changyue left his hand for a while, and everyone immediately drew their weapons to make a defensive state.

At this time, there was a "whoosh" sound about two meters away from everyone, and a gray shadow pierced the air and stabbed into the middle of the team.

"It's not good, Miss Han be careful of her side," At this moment, Duan Xiulai, who was at the back of the team, suddenly faced Han Xiaoying in the middle of the team, and then a sword light wanted to intercept a rapid gray shadow.

Duan Xiulai's sixth-layer reaction ability is still okay, although he was a poor cultivator, but he has rich experience in survival, he took a step up and stabbed and overturned a gray shadow, but this gray shadow seemed to be very powerful, and Duan Xiulai only had time to intercept it between emergencies.

The gray shadow fell to the ground, and everyone could see clearly: a black-scaled snake.

"Ahh An exclamation sounded in the team, it was Han Xiaoying, Li Changyue looked at her with some frowns.

"This little girl's actual combat experience is really poor, so many people are still so panicked on the sidelines." Li Changyue glanced at her dissatisfied, and he was not very satisfied with the reaction ability of the few people around him.

"Xiaoying, are you okay?" Yang Heng asked on the side, he was very concerned about this sister from the same village who was one year younger than her.

"That snake isn't dead yet, and there's more than one black-scaled snake around, aren't you going to do something?" Li Changyue stood in front and stared at the scene in front of him, examining everyone and said.

"Team Li is right, there is still danger." Liu Sheng's "self-cooked" reaction was not slow, he raised his sword and turned around to slash the willow with a breeze and slashed at another gray shadow behind him, with Li Changyue's reminder, he cut off this first-order mid-level black-scaled snake with a sword.

Duan Xiulai's reaction was fast, he had already sat down and picked up the knife, and quickly slashed towards the black-scaled snake that was not dead again, the snake's reaction speed was very fast, and when he saw a knife shadow slashing over, he immediately wanted to leap and escape, Duan Xiulai's skills were not simple, he turned over and jumped, the knife went away with the snake shadow, and the snake's head had been cut off with a "snort".

However, before everyone could catch their breath, the black snake that was cut off by Liu Sheng, the nearly one-meter-long body on the side of the snake's head actually leaped again, very suddenly, and the target was still Han Xiaoying! Although Yang Heng was by his side, his speed was a beat slower, and Han Xiaoying, who was only at the peak of the third layer of forging body, seemed to be in a daze, the sword in his hand did not have much strength, and he lost his accuracy to deal with rapid attacks.

At the critical moment, a white horse practiced hitting the head of the snake, and this half-cut snake completely lost power and fell to the ground, which was a glimpse of Chen Kai's Qingping sword, but although it flew the snake head, Chen Kai's internal strength was slightly weaker, and he took the speed route and did not kill.

"Oops, it's all my fault, didn't kill it!" In this case, even Liu Sheng's "cheekiness" was a little unbearable, and he quickly wiped the half-cut snake with a knife, and finally ended it.

Li Changyue slowly shook his head while looking at it and said, "More than 20 days have passed, do you plan to use this performance to be a village guard in the future?" ”

Everyone was also dumbfounded when they heard this at this time, obviously Li Changyue was enough to control the situation, but this was a "bottom test", except for Duan Xiulai and Chen Kaizhi's performance was barely acceptable, they were all unqualified.
