Chapter 18 The Hunting Party in the West Mountains
Time flies, and two months have passed in a blink of an eye.
In winter, the snow melts, and the grass grows and the warbler flies. The old forest in the west mountain is full of spring.
A young man walks in the middle of a mountain forest, embroidering the word landing on his clothes.
"Young Master Lu Fan, Young Master Lu Fan!"
The man shouted as he walked. This was the way he was told to find Lu Fan, but he had already shouted all the way, and his voice kept echoing in the dense forest, but he didn't get any answer.
Touching his throat, the young man's voice was almost hoarse. But he is just a small guard of the Lu family, and he must complete the tasks assigned to him by the family.
continued to shout, suddenly, a voice sounded in the bushes and jungles next to him, and the man said in surprise: "Is it Young Master Lu Fan?"
Before he could finish speaking, a blue-eyed wolf jumped out.
The wolf was a man tall, his whole body was dark, and his eyes were blue.
The man was startled, and pulled out the long sword from his waist. The combat power of an adult blue-eyed wolf is comparable to that of a six-fold martial artist refining the body, and he is only a fourfold refining body, which is a big trouble.
The blue-eyed wolf stared at the man and slowly began to move in circles.
Cold sweat dripped from the man's forehead, and his shout did not find Young Master Lu Fan, but he summoned the wolf, which was really a tragedy.
The blue-eyed wolf suddenly began to rush forward, pounced on the man, and opened his bloody mouth.
The man turned his hand and slashed out with a sword, but before the sword could rise, the sword body was bitten by the blue-eyed wolf. With a strong flick, the long sword flew away.
The man hurriedly took a few steps back, and without the sword, he would have more trouble dealing with the blue-eyed wolf.
The blue-eyed wolf roared at him, then pounced again.
The man whispered in his heart, my life is over.
At this moment, a strong wind came from the woods, and the blue-eyed wolf was knocked to the ground in mid-air.
The man was stunned, and when he looked closely, he saw that a branch had been inserted into the head of the blue-eyed wolf.
Gasp, how much strength does it take to do this.
Which senior came to his rescue?
Just as the man was frightened, a figure slowly walked out of the woods. With a delicate face, healthy muscles, scars all over his body, and a small stone hanging from his neck, there is no doubt that it is Lu Fan.
"Young Master Lu Fan, are you Young Master Lu Fan?"
The man shouted excitedly. Lu Fan smiled: "It's me, you're the Lu family." What's the matter, what's the matter with me?"
The man said quickly: "Young Master Lu Fan, you have forgotten that today is the day of hunting in the western mountains of the major families. The head of the house, they are all waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. Let you hurry up. ”
Lu Fan opened his mouth, he really forgot about this. I've been practicing so crazy lately that I've forgotten all about it.
Nodding, Lu Fan said, "Nacheng, let's go now." ”
As he spoke, Lu Fan strode towards the bottom of the mountain.
The man followed behind Lu Fan, looked at Lu Fan's back, and then looked at the blue-eyed wolf who was dead on the side, thinking to himself.
This time, I'm afraid Young Master Lu Fan will surprise everyone!
No, maybe it's a fright......
At the foot of the mountain, a high platform was built.
At this time of year, the major families in Jianglin City will set up a high platform here and compete in hunting.
In the early years, because of the flood of wild beasts in the West Mountain, the city was in danger. Therefore, all the major warrior families have to go out into the mountains to hunt wild beasts to keep safe. But now, the desolate beasts of the West Mountain have almost disappeared, and what remains is at most some wild beasts, such as the blue-eyed wolf.
As a result, the major families gradually handed over the tradition of hunting to the younger generation. At the same time, a martial arts competition was added to settle the disputes of various families.
This tradition has lasted for decades, and Jiang Lincheng has changed from the ten major families competing for hegemony to the two families of Lu and Mo.
And this year is different, because there is one more Zhang Yuehan this year, so the Zhang family also has the qualification to compete for hegemony.
Under the high platform, the people of the major families sat down in turn.
This is the only annual festival in Jianglin City, where all the rich or famous families gather together to talk and laugh.
Sitting in the front are Lu, Mo, Zhang, and the three families, lined up in a line, ten meters apart.
The old man Lu Haoran's face was a little not good-looking, but Mo Tian, the head of the Mo family, was smiling, and the Zhang family was also full of confidence.
"Old Ghost Lu, the younger generation of your family is really not good. Lu Ming went to the Martial Arts Academy for three months, but he didn't advance to the first order, which was really disappointing. ”
While Mo Tian was proud, he didn't forget to sarcastically say something sarcastic about Lu Haoran. There is no other reason, it is nothing more than that their family's Mo Yunfei is about to practice his strength, and he is just about to kick the door. And Lu Ming of the Lu family is still refining the eightfold body. Not much has changed from three months ago.
Lu Haoran said calmly: "Your family's Mo Yunfei has been in the Martial Arts Academy for a year, and he hasn't practiced Gang Jin. Leave each other alone. ”
Mo Tian smiled and said, "Old Ghost Lu, are you deceiving yourself? You know that Yunfei will soon be able to practice." Could it be that your eyesight has deteriorated to such an extent? ”
Lu Haoran snorted coldly and said no more.
Mo Tian saw Lu Haoran deflated, and smiled even more happily.
Turning his head, Lu Haoran lowered his voice and asked Lu Hao behind him: "What about Lu Fan, where has this kid gone?
Lu Hao saw that the old man was unhappy, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to find it, and it should be there soon." ”
As he was talking, there was movement behind him, Lu Hao turned his head to look, and saw Lu Fan walking over quickly with the Lu family guard.
At this time, other people also noticed Lu Fan's side, and almost everyone laughed when they saw Lu Fan's appearance.
"Which family's son is this, there are really no rules, doesn't he know to get dressed and come again?"
"Look at how wolf he is, haha, his pants are torn like this, isn't it rude. ”
"I remember, he is Lu Fan of the Lu family, what is this waste doing here. Is it embarrassing?"
"I heard that he is not a waste, but he showed his face fiercely during the New Year's Festival. ”
"You also believe this, it must have been specially made up by the Lu family. Waste is waste!"......
Lu Fan ignored the other people's discussions and walked straight in the direction of Lu Hao.
Lu Hao's face was a little strange when he saw Lu Fan's appearance. Lu Haoran's eyebrows jumped even more, and he would be embarrassed when he came up.
Lu Fan came behind Lu Hao and said, "Father." ”
Lu Hao asked Lu Fan to sit down first, and then lowered his voice and said, "How did you make this appearance, don't you know that all the major families are present today?"
Lu Fan said embarrassedly: "Cultivation, it's inevitable that the wolf will be a little bit." ”
Lu Hao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it." Don't mention that, how are you cultivating now?"
Lu Fan grinned and said, "I won't let you down." ”
Lu Hao laughed when he heard this, and patted Lu Fan on the shoulder.
The last time Lu Fan said this, he gave him a big surprise, and I hope this time is the same.
Mo Tian also glanced at Lu Fan with a brick, and then said with a smile: "Old ghost Lu, your family's tutor is really interesting, don't you teach people to wear good clothes?"
Lu Haoran glared at Mo Tian and said, "Old ghost Mo, don't you think your nonsense is a bit too much? You ran naked when you were younger, when I didn't know?"
Mo Tian's face turned dark, Lu Haoran actually dug up his black history at this time. snorted and ignored Lu Haoran.
However, the Zhang family next to Mo Tian was very interested, and asked softly, "Master Mo, have you really run naked?"
Mo Tian turned his head and glared at Zhang Yan, who chuckled and didn't ask any more.
Suddenly, the drums sounded, and the drums on both sides of the high platform were played at the same time.
The rumbling drum shook the mountain birds to fly high, and the sound of the drum at this time meant that the people who went into the mountains to hunt returned with a full load.
Suddenly, a group of people stretched their necks and looked into the mountains, and in the distance, dozens of figures could be seen walking out.
These are the children sent by various families, and the amount of prey they catch today will determine the outcome of the first hunting competition.
At the forefront are Mo Yunfei and Zhang Yuehan. Both of them had prey in their hands, and the guards next to them hurriedly stepped forward to take it and began to count.
Compared to these two, the other people's records are not so brilliant, and most of them are one or two prey.
The eyes of the Lu family are looking for Lu Ming's figure, and they can only hope that Lu Ming's luck is good, and the prey they hit happens to be more than Mo Yunfei and Zhang Yuehan.
Because of the high platform competition in the second game, Lu Ming will definitely lose, so he can win the first game and save a little face.
But the fact always ruthlessly impacted the sight of the Lu family, and in the end of the crowd, Lu Ming walked back in despair, without a single prey on his body.
At this scene, Lu Fan frowned, Lu Ming would not be so embarrassed.
Lu Ming's father, Lu Feng, directly greeted him, grabbed Lu Ming's shoulder, and Lu Feng asked loudly, "Lu Ming, what's the matter with you, what about the prey?"
Lu Ming raised his head, looked at Mo Yunfei with resentful eyes, and said, "It was snatched away by him and that slut." ”
In a word, it can be heard clearly by everyone present.
Mo Yunfei sneered and said, "The skills are not as good as others, and there is still face to speak." ”
Zhang Yuehan didn't even look at Lu Ming, and sat back next to his father Zhang Yan.
Lu Ming's face was flushed with anger, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. At this time, Lu Feng saw that there was a deep fist mark on Lu Ming's chest, and it was obvious that Lu Ming had been injured.
Seeing this scene, Lu Haoran stared at Mo Tiandao: "Hurting people and taking goods, it's a good means." Sure enough, he is a child of the Mo family. ”
Mo Tian said indifferently: "Awards, awards." Master of ceremonies, can you announce the first hunt, who won?"
The master of ceremonies standing next to the high platform immediately walked up to the high platform and said loudly: "In the first hunting, Mo Yunfei of the Mo family, Zhang Yuehan of the Zhang family all hunted back ten beasts, tied for the first place. ”
Mo Tian frowned slightly, Zhang Yuehan was actually the same as Mo Yunfei, what was the situation.
Zhang's family advocated that Yan smiled and applauded gently. The other families behind him also shouted happily.
The master of ceremonies loudly announced, "The first hunt is over, and the second competition is officially started." ”
Lu Ming sat back under the leadership of Lu Feng, with a depressed face, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to compete on stage again." ”
Lu Haoran sighed lightly, could it be that their Lu family would return defeated this time on a hunting trip to the West Mountain?
At this time, Lu Fan said softly: "Competition, let me come." ”
