Chapter 41: Homecoming

The morning sun rises, and 10,000 points of light shine in the mist of the stone forest.

Qin Wen and Su Ruo walked through the stone forest side by side, turned around and waved at the spirit eagle who was still following behind them, and the spirit eagle also knew that they were leaving this valley, so they also honked a few times, and then also learned from them to wave their wings lightly, standing at the end of the stone forest, and watching Qin Wen's back as he left.

Turning the mountain beam, walking through the mountains and forests in front of them, the two almost talked about everything in the past few months, but when it was time to break up, they didn't know what to say.

Silently walked to the intersection of the bluestone beach, under the foot is the battlefield laid out by the array of the day, all the corpses here have been burned and buried by the Hu people, occasionally some places with abundant water and grass, there are also a few tents of the Hu people, there are various tribes of Kulie take turns to camp in the Muzha Pass, the buffer place of the Great Qi and the Hu people in the past, has also become the pasture of the Hu people.

There is a gravel avenue by the stream of Qingshitan, one end to the south, full of desolate pastures, and the other end to the north, the majestic lonely city pass, Qin Wen said at this time: "Okay, I'll go back, I can get to the Muzha Pass in a few days." ”

Su Ruo's heart was slightly lost, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "I'll go to Luming City to find you after I finish handling the matter, but seeing that there are Hu people grazing here, you should be careful when you go south." ”

Qin Wen smiled at this time and said: "I only have a few days away, and if you go further north, you will be the tribe of the Hu people, and I want to give this sentence to you." ”

While talking and laughing, the two also dissipated some of their sorrows, and each waved his hand and turned in his direction.

Qin Wen didn't walk fast to the south, firstly, he didn't know what the situation was like when he arrived at the Muzha Pass after the defeat of the Great Qi army, and secondly, marching with all his strength was not conducive to recovering his essence and blood, so he walked slowly on the road, and was also ready to find a town market or something like that to buy a horse to travel.

However, there are sparsely populated people on this road, and occasionally the Hu people grazing in Yujian are also on guard, Qin Wen also understands in his heart that just after the war, it is normal for both Qi people and Hu people to be wary of each other, these herdsmen and the family soldiers are the same, dismount to graze, get on the horse as soldiers, and gradually Qin Wen saw the tent where the herdsmen gathered from a distance, and also bypassed it slightly.

After four or five days of travel, Qin Wen had already seen the Muzha Pass from a distance, which was a few days faster than sitting in a carriage in the army when he came, after all, he didn't need to rest himself at night, just crossed his knees and breathed for half an hour when he felt tired.

On this road, Qin Wen also pondered his two exercises when he walked, after a battle with Lu Ziyan in the cave, Qin Wen actually found that the two exercises showed signs of integration when they were used, and when refining the elixir in the cave, if he needed to use too much vitality, the essence and blood practiced by Canglong Jue also had a faint feeling of wanting to come out.

The most obvious thing is that when cultivating the Canglong Eight Style, now the breath of the dragon shape has been fused with the fire attribute of the Nine Turns Flame Yang Jue, but these days there is relatively little practice, and I can't grasp the limit of fusion, although the fusion is several times stronger than before, but every time this move is used, all the vitality in Qin Wen's dantian will be exhausted, and there is not even a little defensive ability.

After thinking about it on the road for a few days, he didn't come to a conclusion in the end, but he also set a limit in his heart, so that the fused move was his ultimate life-saving weapon, and he couldn't use it until the fish died and the net was broken.

It was getting closer and closer to the Muzha Pass, Qin Wen faintly saw the tents stationed at the mountain pass, but the tents were relatively scattered, not like the military camp in Luming City, and the tents were set up in the north of the pass, and after walking a few steps forward, he saw a cavalry wearing Hu clothes galloping outside the tent.

Qin Wen couldn't help but stop, this Muzha Pass should have been occupied by the Hu people now, and he must not go to the military camp alone, from the tone of several elders of the Qin family, although the Hu people and the Great Qi army practice different exercises, but they take the path of partial physical cultivation, a Hu soldier of the acquired realm is on the battlefield, and it is definitely not inferior to a Qi soldier of the innate realm.

Judging from the garrison army in the mountain pass, this should be a large Hu tribe, at the junction with Daqi, the smallest Hu tribe also has more than 5,000 people, and there are many of them who have a body cultivation that surpasses the level of Xuantu, which is insurmountable by Qin Wen.

Qin Wen walked to a bush of wild grass next to the road, the wild grass here grows vigorously, although it has withered yellow, but it is more than one person tall, Qin Wen will not be found if he hides inside.

After finding a hidden place, Qin Wen began to survey the terrain in front of him, the mountains on both sides of the Muzha Pass were extremely high, and they were very steep, and it was difficult to climb them without using his vitality.

However, Qin Wen also heard that most of the tribes of the Hu people have the existence of holy masters, and all the holy masters have practiced a kind of exercise, which is to detect and hide vitality.

After a little muttering, Qin Wen still decided to be on the safe side, and walked more to the mountain range next to him, although some places are not suitable for large armies, but there are still paths stepped out by hunters and medicine pickers, and he is alone, and if he walks for a few more days, he should be able to bypass this Muzha Mountain Pass.

Thinking of this, Qin Wen began to walk eastward, because Yinxia Mountain is in the southeast of the Muzha Pass, although Qin Wen has not passed from here, but according to the general direction, it should be not far from the Qin Manor when he walks out of the mountain.

After walking for about half a day, the sun has gradually slanted westward, Qin Wen saw that the mountain in front of him was gradually slowing down, so he decided to enter the mountain here, and when he was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, a pool of mountain springs happened to appear in front of him, Qin Wen drank a few sips of water, and washed his face casually.

Just when he was about to move forward into the mountain, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, Qin Wen couldn't help but be startled, this is still a place occupied by the Hu people, if he encounters a squad of cavalry, he can deal with it, but if he encounters a tribal migration or something, it will be troublesome if they find out.

Hurriedly plunged into a big tree at the foot of the mountain, Qin Wen looked towards the place where the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the first thing that caught his eye was two black red wind horses, the two people on the horse, an old and a young, were dressed as herdsmen, and they were constantly whipping the horses under him with a horsewhip.

And the dust was billowing behind them, as if a team of horses was galloping, Qin Wen faintly saw that the leader was a strong bearded man, with a slender saber in his hand, constantly waving and directing the back, it should be chasing the old and young in front.

Qin Wen only relieved his mind at this time, seeing that this looked like a battle within the Hu tribe, Qin Wen was too lazy to meddle with things, so he leaned on the branch of the tree and rested, as long as he waited for these Hu people to pass, he could go down the tree and go up the mountain.

However, when he ran to a distance of one or two hundred meters from the foot of the mountain, he suddenly shot a cold arrow from the horse team behind, hitting the hind leg of the black horse of the young man in front, and the long arrow shaft directly pierced the hind leg and nailed to the belly of the black horse, and the black horse couldn't help but neigh and fell headlong on the grass.

The young man on the horse was also caught off guard, and was about to be crushed to the ground along the horse's back, but at this time, the old man on the horse next to him directly rose in the air, grabbed the young man and threw it on the side of the mountain road under the Qinwen tree. ”

At this time, the young man resolutely turned back, took out a flying sword and said: "Old Gao, we have to go together, as long as we go up the mountain, these Hu people will not be able to catch up." ”

Lao Gao looked at the Hu people behind him chasing closer and closer, and said urgently: "Young master, these Hu people are familiar with the mountains and forests, and you won't be able to leave if it's too late, with my current injury, I won't be able to drag Luming City anymore, so you let the old slave kill a few more Hu people, and fight hard." ”

At this time, the young man went directly back to Lao Gao's side, picked him up and ran towards the mountain road: "If you die here, I will be killed sooner or later when I go back, and it is better to die here and fight a few Hu people." ”

When Qin Wen heard it at this time, what the two of them said was the official language of Qi State, and he couldn't help but be stunned, it seemed that the two of them came to the Huren camp in disguise to investigate something, from the tone of their voice, they should be the master and servant, it seems that the relationship is still relatively deep, this young man actually gave up the hope of survival, and also wanted to hold the old servant, at this time, Qin Wen couldn't help but flash the figure of Qin Lu in his mind.

At this time, the cavalry of the Hu people had surrounded the master and servant, and the leader did not speak, but waved the saber in his hand fiercely, and made a chopping action, and the Hu cavalry in a circle made a "ho ho" sound, and raised the saber in his hand.

At this time, the old master who was in the middle also had an extra long sword, and with a wave of his sword, the vitality on the sword directly crossed out the heads of the two Hu soldiers, and the other Hu soldiers who were shocked for a while all turned sideways slightly, but Lao Gao's face was unusually pale at this time, and even Qin Wen in the distance could see the blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Qin Wen knew that this was a manifestation of being seriously injured dantian, Lao Gao's reckless vitality just now had reached the realm of running out of oil, and it was estimated that the only way left was to self-destruct, and the young man next to him stabbed directly at the leader of the horse team with a flying sword at this time, and the leader of the Hu people laughed, and condensed the flying sword with a saber and said: "That old guy has been seriously injured by the Holy Master, and now he can't use his vitality, the Holy Master said, as long as you catch the two of them, you will be rewarded, and it doesn't matter if you live or die." ”

The surrounding cavalry became excited again, and as soon as the saber was lit, they slashed towards the two, and then the young man inside suddenly took out a delicate silk net, and with a wave of his hand, the wire net instantly became larger, turning into a crimson light mask that covered the two of them inside.

Qin Wen knew that this should be a magic weapon, but it was too late to use it at this time, and now that the two of them were already besieged inside, no matter how strong the defense was, there was a time to break through.

However, Qin Wen's mind at this time was moved, the most powerful Hu leader in front of him saw that Xiu Wei should be the middle level of the Xuantu, if he made a move, it would not be a problem to deal with these dozen cavalry, and he couldn't watch the Hu people kill his comrades.
