052, the first encounter
Although Huwa told Zong Yan to pay attention to protecting Shaowu, he didn't completely count on Zong Yan. The places where Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Shaowu and Zongyan need to go are mainly distributed in the long and narrow area east of Helan Mountain, south of Yinshan Mountain, and west of Luliang Mountain. The situation on the side of Luliang Mountain is fine, but there are still many unknown dangers in the area of Helan Mountain and Yinshan Mountain.
The tribes were forced by the flood to move to the heights along the mountain range, and the large area west of Helan Mountain and north of Yinshan Mountain has been called the Great Wilderness since ancient times, or dense forests, or meadows, or deserts, and it is rarely inhabited.
To the west of Helan Mountain, near the Great River, there was once a Kingdom of the Golden Crow, which was a vassal state established by a spirit bird Golden Crow under the control of an ancient tribe. Now that the Kingdom of Jinwu has been destroyed, many tribes have moved to the fertile fields formed by the flood, but the farther area is still an unknown wilderness, with all kinds of fierce birds and beasts and even big demons.
Shaowu and Zongyan did not cross the ridge into the Great Wilderness, but it does not mean that they will not encounter accidents, it must be known that many tribes on this side of the mountain range only moved here twenty years ago, and the place where they settled is naturally relatively safe, but the situation in the unknown area between the villages is not easy to say.
Even the Southern Wilderness, where Li people have lived for a long time, has been entrenched in snake cultivation. Masters like Lu Zhong and Di Jiang did not dare to provoke the snake cultivator easily, and the people of the various tribes would not enter the territory of the snake cultivator.
No one dares to guarantee that there are no murderous creatures like Xiu Snake in the Great Wilderness, and such murderous creatures may not necessarily stay in a fixed territory honestly, and may occasionally cross the mountains, while Zong Yan and Shaowu are more likely to break into the territory of some murderous creatures on this side of the mountains.
I think that in the battle when the masters besieged Boyi, there were five true immortals, and the Golden Crow Ancestor was one of them's original mount. Huwa also realized that there are many unknown masters in the world, and it is inevitable that there will be murderous things in the wilderness. When Bo Yi was there, no one in this area dared to act rashly, but now that Bo Yi is no longer there, and he has experienced this almost earth-changing flood, the situation is even more difficult to say.
Sending Huang He, an ancient earth immortal, to protect Shaowu and Zongyan, can be reassuring. Huwa also told her disciple Huang He to accompany him secretly, and if there is no absolute necessity, don't make a move, let alone be noticed by Shaowu and Zongyan. The protection of the Yellow Crane is also mainly an early warning, if you encounter a strong opponent, it is best not to fight, but try to guide Shaowu and Zong Yan to avoid it in advance.
There are always powerful and unknown existences in the world, such as the fierce creature of snake cultivation, and Yellow Crane may not be its opponent. Although the possibility of encountering such a ferocious object is very small, it is not unguarded.
For Huang He, this also meant that he would follow the two men for three years until the diversion of the river was complete. He will also witness how people of all tribes live today, how they fight for their future destiny, and witness this unprecedented miracle on earth.
This is also a cultivation experience and enlightenment opportunity for Huang He, he is an ancient immortal family thousands of years ago, and he came to the present day after a big dream, and he can't always hide in the Kunwu Cave Heaven to retreat and cultivate.
Zongyan and Shaowu also had the task of surveying the official roads connecting the villages. The tribes are scattered along the mountain range, and many villages are not connected by existing roads, and some of the roads that have been opened are mountain trails. Lord Boyu's plan is to build the avenues of the tribes along the river within a year, and the standard is feasible carriages and horses.
Only by completing this task on schedule can the progress of the follow-up water control project be guaranteed, and the manpower, material resources and various materials supported by various ministries in the world can be continuously transported to the floodplain. Then it is necessary to determine in advance the most economical and smooth route.
Shaowu and Zongyan inspected each department, leaving markers along the way, and there were their own brigades behind them to follow and repair the road.
Of course, the road does not need to be repaired by Shaowu and Zongyan, Bo Yu sent the elite strong men in the rear of the summer to be responsible, and mobilized the manpower and material resources of various departments along the way. Bingchi and Ding Chi were looking for an opportunity to make meritorious contributions and intercede for the other seven demon dragons who were captured by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in the future, so they volunteered to stand up and ask to be responsible for this matter.
Bingchi and Ding Chi also have a good reason for making this request, when the road connecting Ba Yuan was opened, they had followed Chong Bo Kun's side, and they were already familiar with this kind of work. Didn't Lord Boyu ask for the specifications of the road to pass through the carriages and horses? The carriages and horses were ready-made, and if the white fragrant wooden carriages could pass smoothly, it would mean that the roads were qualified.
When Shanzha heard this, he also asked to lead the people to build the road. At that time, Ba Jun Shaowu and Chong Bo Kun were building roads from two directions at the same time, and Shanzha was also involved at that time, so Bo Yu also sent him to take charge of it. The road construction team has not yet set off, and there is another cow - the green cow of the tiger baby's mount.
Huwa asked Qingniu to walk from the bank of Huaishui to Dongting Immortal Palace on its own, and did not stipulate which route it took or how long it took, so it was also an experience. As a result, Qingniu went around in a big circle, chose a far route, and actually ran here to join in the fun. Qingniu and Shanzha are very familiar with each other, so they also shout to build roads together.
The green cow has long been psychic, and now it can be transformed into a human form, but the cow's brain is relatively dead, and the tiger baby did not tell it to transform into a human form to cultivate, so it has been showing people in its original body. Qingniu said that he could pull the cart, so he pulled the white fragrant wooden carriage, which could be loaded with all kinds of materials needed to build the road.
Since they were going to lead the team to build the road, they naturally couldn't appear as jujube red horses, so the carriage became an ox cart. Of course, there was more than one vehicle carrying supplies for the road construction team, so this white fragrant wood ox cart became the head of the convoy again.
Of course, the road construction team walked much slower than the people who surveyed the route in front, and they were at least hundreds of miles behind Zongyan and Shaowu, not to mention it for the time being.
On this day, Zong Yan and Shao Wu were walking through the mountains, and they were going to a very remote tribal village, and there were no ready-made roads, not even mountain paths. The white rabbit ran out last night, probably to observe the mountain terrain and explore a suitable route, and then the two of them walked the scene again.
Having a white rabbit here is really helpful, and the task of choosing a route is basically completed by this rabbit. Don't forget that Chisel Tooth lived in the wilderness back then, and although his cultivation is not as powerful as it was at the beginning, he still knows it.
Walking along the markers left by the white rabbit was indeed the most suitable route to open up the avenue, and the two of them left a definite mark. Near noon, it suddenly began to rain in the mountains.
It is very dangerous to travel in the rain in the barren mountains and forests, the terrain is rugged and slippery, and if you are not careful, you will not know where to fall, and it is easy to get injured or even killed. Moreover, the heat will be lost quickly after the body is wet, and people's immunity and resistance will decrease, and they are prone to various epidemic diseases, and getting sick in the wild is even more dangerous than being injured.
But this is not a problem for the two "masters" of Zong Yan and Shaowu. Shao Wu casually sacrificed a magic weapon. The usual appearance of this thing is only half a foot long, it can be stuffed in clothes, it is a high-grade magic weapon given to him by Yunqi, imitating Mr. Sanshui's artifact treasure umbrella, and it is like an invisible umbrella after being sacrificed.
This "treasure umbrella" does not need to be supported by hands, but floats in the air in the form of an imperial weapon, which is transparent and not even visible, and will not be blown away by the wind, but it can make the rain curtain naturally separate and fall elsewhere, enough to envelop him and Zong Yan. Zong Yan had seen Shaowu sacrifice magic weapons more than once on the road, and couldn't help muttering again: "You are worthy of being Ba Jun, and there are really a lot of treasures on your body." ”
Shao Wu just smiled and didn't refute anything. Zong Yan is wrong in what he said, if he is on Ba Yuan, he, Ba Jun, does not need to carry any treasures with him, the only treasure is the sword talisman given by the master Jiansha, which was sacrificed by the martial ancestor himself. Originally, Ba Jun also wore the Zhenguo Divine Sword, but later the Zhenguo Divine Sword was also given to the tiger baby.
Does Ba Jun need to bring his own things when traveling, how can he brave the rain to travel in the mountains and fields, and also carry umbrellas for others?
At this moment, the white rabbit suddenly burst out of the woods in front of him, and said: "Woe to me, woe to me! Those evil cults are very difficult, so let's not provoke them, and take another way to avoid them. ”
The white rabbit's speaking habits are different from ordinary people, and I don't know what it just alarmed, so it used several descriptions of "murderous things", "things", and "evil". Zong Yan held the halberd and said, "They have already come!" White Rabbit, you protect Shaowu and retreat, and I will deal with it...... Uncle, what are you doing?"
Before she finished speaking, she felt the rain pouring on her body, it was Shao Wu who had withdrawn the treasure umbrella magic weapon, and reached out to draw a sword from the package behind her, and had swung the sword into the heavy rain, and shouted: "Finally wait until Benjun makes a move!"
Shao Wu took a black stone sword embryo, the surface of the potholes only had a general shape, but it was extremely heavy, it was the weapon that Hanxiong entrusted him to transfer to the tiger baby, and it was obtained from the hand of the sword in Hongjin City. Shaowu didn't meet a tiger baby on this trip, so he always carried the sword with him.
But Zong Yan thought that this sword was too ugly, how could an uncle who was obviously quite handsome be worthy of such an ugly sword, which was too incompatible with his description and identity! So Zong Yan took this sword away and received it in the package he carried.
Shaowu couldn't cry or laugh, even if he had a burning stick on his waist in Ba Yuan, as long as he was willing, I am afraid no one would dare to say that it was ugly. He had hardly encountered such a thing in his life, and he had never heard of such a thing, and this girl actually thought that she didn't look good wearing this sword? Then let her put it away, the sword was quite heavy, and she also wanted to take care of herself.
Shaowu and Zongyan have been walking for more than four months, although they have passed through many difficult places and encountered some fierce beasts, but they have been safe and sound. With Zong Yan holding a halberd by his side, ordinary beasts were scared away when they were far away, and he didn't encounter any demons and evil creatures.
Shaowu has just practiced a stone axe, and he feels that he has not lost the skills he learned in Wufuqiu, and these days he has told Zong Yan and Baitu about various deeds on Bayuan, and he has also found the feeling of high spirits back then. When a dignified man encountered a demon in the mountains, did he still want a girl's family to make a move, he took out his "sword" and killed it.
A group of ethereal phantoms rushed from the rain curtain in front of them, like translucent human figures without legs, like legendary ghosts. Shaowu hadn't seen a ghost before, but he had only heard of it, this kind of thing was the resentment of a person after being devoured and died, and it was usually difficult to appear in the daytime.
It was noon at the moment, but the clouds in the sky were dense and low, and the light was very dim, and these ghosts could appear in the rain, indicating that their strength was not weak. Ghosts are not shady things that can exist on their own, they often appear in groups, and there must be a fierce creature behind them.
The ghost is a translucent phantom, and it is even more difficult to see clearly when the heavy rain obscures the vision, and Shaowu uses his divine sense to sense, first shake a very beautiful sword flower with that very ugly sword, and then the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, swaying out.
Even if it is split in half with a knife, it will re-condense and form, and can pounce on people to dissolve their vitality, making people feel like falling into an ice cave, and their limbs are paralyzed and their consciousness is gradually blurred.
However, Shaowu's long sword was swung, and only a burst of mournful screams could be heard in the primordial spirit, and those ghosts were torn apart and dissipated in the rain, unable to recondense and form. Shaowu is like a tiger entering the flock, and those ghosts who are not allowed to get close to him between the sword qi and the sword qi are actually cut down by him. He himself was drenched in the heavy rain and turned into a soup chicken, still wielding his sword endlessly, quite a bit complacent.
Zong Yan originally wanted to pull Shaowu back to himself, but seeing that Shaowu could still deal with it, he held a halberd to sweep the formation for him. Occasionally, a few ghosts did not dissipate, or tried to escape from the sword net, but they were wiped out by Zong Yan's halberd. She saw that the ghosts besieging Shaowu were gathering in what direction, and Shaowu was afraid that it would be difficult to block them all, so she also killed a few of them first, in short, to ensure that Shaowu was safe.
After a pillar of incense, all the ghosts floating in the rain were killed, and most of them were the credit of Shaowu. Youzong Yan swept the array with an artifact halberd, and the few fish that slipped through the net did not escape, and the clothes of the two were also soaked. The white rabbit watched the excitement from the side, and kept clapping his hands and shouting: "Ba Jun is mighty!"
Shao Wu finally killed the last ghost, and with great satisfaction, he turned around and swung a sword, stirring up raindrops behind him, like a peacock opening the screen. He was wet and looked around with his sword, and felt that this majestic and heroic posture and brave momentum were no worse than several generals in the country!
Zong Yan nodded and praised: "Those ghosts are difficult to kill with ordinary blades, although the sword in your hand is a little ugly, but it is very useful." ”
Shaowu: "Of course, this thing is an artifact sword embryo, produced in Bayuan Wufu Qiu, and mined by my master, Mr. Jiansha. And what I am using is the swordsmanship of Wufuqiu, condensing sword qi with supernatural mana, and overcoming the evil things in the world!"
The sword in the rain slashes the yin and evil, and the feeling of Shaowu is dripping, and he doesn't feel cold when he is soaked, but a little bit of blood boiling. Unexpectedly, Zong Yan randomly poured another basin of cold water and said: "Although the swordsmanship you have learned is excellent, you have not practiced it at home, especially the fighting skills are too poor! That is, those ghosts have no combat experience, and if someone else had already beaten you down, you rarely did anything with others, right?"
Shao Wu was not angry, and explained with a smile: "It's not very little, but it's never been, and today is the first time in my life!"
In his life, Shao Wu really had never had the experience of personally killing the enemy group like today. Although he is a personal disciple of Mr. Jiansha, and has commanded thousands of troops and horses to conquer Bayuan, he is always in command. If you want the sovereign to personally charge into battle and kill the enemy, where will the faces of the soldiers of Pakistan be placed?
Zong Yan was a little surprised: "So that's the case, then you have done a very good job......" As soon as she said this, her face suddenly changed.
Shao Wu was still there proudly, Yuan Shenzhong suddenly heard a roar, his consciousness was in a trance for a moment, and he almost didn't stand firm, and then he felt his body fly up as soon as he tightened, and he walked through the dense forest like a cloud, and it turned out that he was caught under the armpit by Zong Yan's open arm.
The group of ghosts was killed, but it attracted the really powerful murderous creatures that controlled them, and Zong Yan didn't come forward to fight at all, and directly picked up the young man and ran away. She ran faster than the rabbit, and the white rabbit took the initiative to jump into Zong Yan's package, and also put away the sword that Shao Wu had fallen.
Shao Wu knew that it was the murderous thing that controlled the ghosts, and he wanted to fight, but Zong Yan took him and fled without a fight. Isn't this girl very powerful, and she still has an artifact in her hand, and running away is not her style?
Both of them were already soaked, and Zong Yan's arms were clamped tightly, making Shao Wu feel a little out of breath. It's like a skin-to-skin kiss through the soaked clothes, you can feel each other's body temperature, and it's so tight! Is this appropriate? It seems that this girl really doesn't think of herself as a man...... Shaowu was a little dizzy, and even a little cranky.
