Qin Wen and Xiao Zheng walked out of the south gate of the expulsion city, and a small hill outside the south gate appeared in front of them, Xiao Zheng turned to look at the majestic city wall, and said with some sighs: "When I came to the expulsion city, I only thought that I could have a quiet place to take refuge with Liu Yun, and I didn't expect that there would be a breakthrough in the realm again." ”

At this time, he said in a tone of vicissitudes: "The world is impermanent, in the end, it was the city of expulsion that changed us, and Liu Yun, who seemed to be loyal, couldn't resist the temptation, and finally left me, and I was fortunate to meet Brother Qin, and with the favor of Brother Qin, I was fortunate to return to the path of cultivation." ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly, and said in the same tone: "The experience in cultivation is the battle against the inner demon, the external environment has been tempting each of us monks, only after experiencing it can we see clearly what we have done wrong, and if we keep persevering, it is much stronger than regretting it later, as for the matter of Taoist couples, you will also regard it as an experience, as long as the realm has been improved, you will get more time, as long as you have time, you will eventually find a more suitable Taoist companion than Liu Yun." ”

Xiao Zheng looked at Qin Wen suspiciously at this time and said, "Brother Qin, sometimes I also think that you don't look like a Xuan-level monk at all when you have so many insights into cultivation, like your state of mind, basically the spiritual-level monks I have come into contact with are also ugly and open-minded. ”

Qin Wen smiled and didn't answer, he had the experience of being a human being in two lives, this was his own secret, he wouldn't tell anyone, the two of them had already crossed the small hill outside the city gate at this time, looking at the endless private fields below. Qin Wen diverted the topic and said: "Passing through the private field is the mountains and forests, and our three-day experience is estimated to not go far." ”

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Let's not pass through here, in that case." Three days is at most to reach the edge of the mountains and forests, let's take that road for a while, basically in the evening, we will reach the mountains and forests, but Brother Qin, you have to be careful, the idle monks in the mountains and forests are not so friendly, and we will always be in danger of being robbed and killed. However, most of the Monks of the Expulsion City will choose this experience. ”

Qin Wen looked at the road that Xiao Zheng pointed to, this was a road leading to the west, and Qin Wen thought of the edge of his Dongcheng Manor at this time. It is also at the junction of mountains and forests, so he opened his mouth and asked Xiao Zhengdao: "If it is an experience, isn't it the same as when we went to Dongcheng just now? It is also possible to reach the mountains and forests in one day, and it is estimated that it will be faster than here." ”

Xiao Zheng's footsteps increased his speed. While speaking, he said: "The mountains and forests in the east city are smaller than those in the west city. There are only two of us, once we enter the place where they gather, it will be a little troublesome, and some of the leaders of the idle monks are monks of the Xuanshi realm, and there are even a few spiritual level monks in the mountains and forests to the west. ”

"Let's go to Xicheng, that is, in a day or two, we don't go to the places where they live in groups, but just travel around the periphery. Let's see if it can help break through the bottleneck, although the patrol monk has an easier job. There is still time to rest, but it is not very free, if it is longer, I can go around the spiritual energy crack outside the northern city, where the experience of the monks is much better than here. ”

After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he increased the speed of Feizong to the extreme, and Qin Wen also caught up, according to what Xiao Zheng said, this private field is full of hard-working employees, and there is nothing to see, and now only by rushing to the mountains and forests in the west is the beginning of the real experience.

Sure enough, when the sun was about to set, the two came to the foot of the mountain forest, Xiao Zheng slowly slowed down the flying column, and then walked towards the mountain forest and said: "This place is full of peripheral monks, their grade is not high, but the heart cultivated in the mountain forest is ruthless, don't have a merciful heart, sometimes you give him a spirit stone, it may not save him, it may also harm him, and it may harm yourself." ”

For the monk, there was basically no difference between night and day, even in the dense forest, Qin Wen could see the subtleties of each tree carefully, if he used his divine sense, he could not hide the slightest wind and grass within a radius of ten zhang.

Stepping on the branches that were still slightly dry, Qin Wen couldn't help but recall the experience he had in the mountains and forests when he came to the city of expulsion, when Lu Mo led the team first, and finally met Lu Tiancheng, they should be familiar with the southern road of the mountains and forests, so they didn't meet idle monks living in groups along the way.

Moreover, those scattered monks did not pose any threat to them, so now Qin Wen's image of the idle monks in the mountains and forests is still the image of being thin and helpless, with a face like ashes, without the slightest spirit at all, and it is also the most in the realm of the Xuan Disciple Period, which is basically a group of walking corpses who eat and wait for death.

The two walked to a stone cave halfway up the mountain in the mountain forest, Xiao Zheng looked at the situation in the stone cave and said: "Let's not rush into the mountain forest today, I see that there is a pile of ashes left by the monks who passed by last time in this cave, it is better to rest in this cave tonight." ”

After getting Qin Wen's affirmative answer, Xiao Zheng took the lead in walking into the stone cave, the outside of the cave was slightly smaller, but the space inside was still relatively large, except for the pile of ashes, the rest of the cleaning was relatively clean, and there was a pile of collected dry branches next to it.

After Xiao Zheng walked into the stone cave, he first lit a bonfire and said to Qin Wen: "Brother Qin, you wait here first, I'll go out and get some things, let's roast and eat." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the cave again, Qin Wen was sitting cross-legged by the bonfire, adding dry branches from time to time, bringing this bonfire closer and stronger, after half a pillar of incense, Xiao Zheng walked in with two cleaned pheasants, and said to Qin Wen: "This place is not bad, there is a stream behind the cave, just caught two pheasants, I washed it by the stream, if you want to drink water, walk a few steps to the back." ”

Qin Wen took a pheasant, passed through the middle of the chicken with firewood, and said: "I'm not thirsty, you give me the spices you brought, I'll roast these two chickens, it just so happens that there are a few jars of wine brought from outside in my storage bag, let's drink some today." As he spoke, he took a jar of wine from his storage bag.

After putting on the first pheasant, Qin Wen casually built a wooden frame on the bonfire and hung the pheasant on it, Xiao Zheng looked at Qin Wen's skillful movements, knowing that he also had a lot of experience in living in the wild, so he nodded, handed the other pheasant to Qin Wen, and then took out the seasoning from his storage bag.

When the two pheasants were roasted golden brown, Qin Wen pinched the prepared seasoning with his fingers and put it on the chicken, and a pungent fragrance filled the entire cave, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but move his index finger, and gave a thumbs up to Qin Wen and said: "I have never roasted this taste, if you don't be a patrol monk and make a barbecue in the restaurant of the Expulsion City, you must be full of customers." ”

As he spoke, he saw that Qin Wen had already taken down a roasted pheasant, tore it in half from the passing firewood, and handed half of it to himself, so he hurriedly took it, and then took out the flatbread made for dry food, and put it on the wooden shelf and said, "It's not bad to bake this flatbread, let's eat it after we finish drinking." ”

The two of them drank and chatted like this, the two pheasants ate in half an hour, and a jar of wine was about to bottom out, Qin Wen suddenly heard a noise outside at this time, Xiao Zheng also looked at the outside of the stone cave vigilantly, the two glanced at each other at the same time, although they did not speak, but they both saw the eyes of the other party to be careful.

Then Xiao Zheng waved his hand slightly, signaling Qin Wen to follow him out to check, the two walked out of the cave, and saw a white light and shadow flying away in the mountains and forests, Xiao Zheng's expression suddenly relaxed a little and said: "This should also be a monk passing by, originally wanted to spy on us, but after we found out, he ran away." ”

Qin Wen hadn't spoken yet, and suddenly a sense of foreboding surged in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw a figure flashing on the big tree above Xiao Zheng, and just when Qin Wen was about to wake up, he also felt a chill coming from behind him, and he instantly pulled out the Yanlong Spear, but at this time, a cold sword blade had already landed on his throat.

Qin Wen was just when this sword blade was ready to strike, and then his divine sense moved, and a piece of defense talisman paper refined by Zheng Pu was instantly driven, Qin Wen's whole body was completely wrapped in a golden luster, and when the blade slid hard, it made a sound of gold and iron rubbing that made people's scalp tingle.

At this time, Qin Wen saw that the danger had been lifted, so he swung the spear in his hand, and directly picked up the monk who was sneaking up behind him with a spear, and fell heavily on the ground in front of him, and then Qin Wen did not kill directly, but stabbed the spear directly along Xiao Zheng's neck, and said to Xiao Zheng with a calm look: "Don't move." ”

Xiao Zheng knew that Qin Wen should have seen that there were monks behind him, so he watched the shiny tip of the spear rub his left side of his neck, without moving at all, and only after he heard a pop behind him, he dodged to the right side of his body, and at this time, a black-clothed monk who was thrown to the ground by Qin Wen just wanted to get up and run away, Xiao Zheng directly caught up with him and slapped him on the back, and the black-clothed monk suddenly spat blood and paused on the grass.

After cleaning up these two monks, Qin Wen did not directly arrest them back, but searched the neighborhood with his divine sense with a puzzled expression, and then asked Xiao Zheng, "What is the origin of these two monks? (To be continued......)
