Early the next morning, Wang Lin sat up from the bed in his room, the young man rubbed his eyes, only felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and he slowed down about half a stick of incense before leaving the bed, walked out of the post station, and according to the guidance of the post station officials, he found a stream next to the post station in a daze and prepared to wash his face and sober up. Wang Lin squatted down, held a hand of water with both hands, and was about to raise it to his face, when he suddenly found that in the water in his hand, a small fry was anxiously bumping into Wang Lin's hand, and seemed to be frightened by this sudden enclosed space.

Wang Lin smiled lightly: "It's really naughty." "Then put the little fish back into the water, and the stream gurgled like a clear and bright mirror in the less harsh sunlight of the early morning.

After Wang Lin released the small fish, he suddenly saw in his eyes that there was a terrible head of a fierce beast in the stream, which was a leech! Wang Lin was shocked, and suddenly jumped backwards, cold sweat broke out on his body, and he was half awake at once, and then he looked around, and found that there was no fierce beast around him, so Wang Lin was bold enough to approach the stream again, fortunately, this time except for Wang Lin's own face, there was nothing else reflected in the water.

Wang Lin hurriedly took out a handful of water, put it directly on his face, and then rubbed his face vigorously with his hands. After the catastrophe, he walked back to the post station step by step. On the way back, Wang Lin's lost memories flashed back in his mind bit by bit.

"It seems that last night, I went to see the stone statue again, and then I somehow came to a lotus pond, and then... Wang Lin recalled to himself, suddenly opened his clear eyes and said: "Then I saw the fierce beast cockroach! and then it got into my body! ”

Wang Lin felt a pain in his brain, hugged his head and said to himself, "What happened in the end? How did I come back, or is it a dream?"

As he spoke, Wang Lin tried to think about the set of cultivation methods left for Wang Lin after the cockroach burrowed into Wang Lin's body and disappeared, so Wang Lin was surprised to see in his mind a beast claw left by the cockroach in his consciousness, this beast claw has three fingers, and the nails on each finger are polished as sharp as a knife, when Wang Lin pours his consciousness into this beast claw, a strange old man's voice will come from his ears:" Cultivate the claws of the claw, exchange blood for blood, exchange life for life, if you don't fall into the bloodthirsty for killing, after the completion of the virtual into reality, summon the claw of the claw of the claw, whoever hinders, a claw to extinguish. ”

Wang Lin shuddered, and said to himself with some trembling: "Blood for blood, life for life, blood and hatred?"

"Brother Wang, you are here, I was about to go to your room to look for you, so you got up a long time ago. How's it going, did you sleep well? It's a whole day of climbing today. Xie An's voice sounded behind Wang Lin.

When Wang Lin heard the voice, he hurriedly calmed down, then turned to Xie An and smiled: "I usually get up early. ”

Xie An approached Wang Lin, looked at him and said, "Look at your dark circles are gone, I guess you have a good rest, come, just now the post officer said that he prepared breakfast for us, let's eat quickly, eat well and hurry." ”

Wang Lin smiled bitterly, then nodded, and followed Xie An into the post station and came to the hall.

Breakfast is a simple steamed bun pickles, and now the border army is under martial law, and all the large troops are hoarded in the broken mountain, so the daily food consumption is terrifying, so the food of the personnel in the non-combat area in the restricted area is naturally worse. However, Wang Lin and Xie An didn't have so many requirements, the two teenagers had suffered, and food was often just something to fill their stomachs, and they were not so particular.

After breakfast, Wang Lin and Xie An said goodbye to the post officer, and borrowed two horses by the way.

Where did Wang Lin ride a war horse, he didn't even know how to get on the horse, and he was really ridiculed by Xie An. However, ridicule is ridicule, Xie An still taught Wang Lin how to ride very seriously and comprehensively, there is a teacher who can teach, and it will not be long before Wang Lin can sit on the back of the horse and be hunched by the horse, trotting towards the mountain.

At first, when I climbed the mountain, the scenery on the mountain was beautiful, with layers of green trees stacked on top of each other, and the trees were also strange and fascinating. However, by the time we were about halfway there, it was probably relatively high, so the trees became scarce, and only the bare grey and black stones seemed to be burned. The two rode on horses, all the way up, the narrower and steeper the road became, and in the end Xie An had to lead the way in front, and Wang Lin followed.

Looking at the black and gray road ahead, the scenery in front of him was repeated, and he gradually felt tired, so the two teenagers began to talk about the world and the north and the south, but Wang Lin went to too few places, so basically Xie An said in front and Wang Lin listened in the back.

After noon, the speed of the two slowed down, because Wang Lin's ass really couldn't bear the bumps of the horse's walking, so he had to get down and lead the horse to walk. Xie An laughed for a while that Wang Lin didn't look like a gentleman at all, and he still got off the horse to accompany Wang Lin together, and occasionally took advantage of Wang Lin's unpreparedness to quietly rub his buttocks, which were also a little sore.

Xie An saw that Wang Lin had something on his mind, thinking that Wang Lin was worried about the affairs of his hometown again, so he wanted to say something interesting to divide Wang Lin's spirit, "Brother Wang, in the morning, the junior officer of the post station told me that the eyes of the cockroach that had been emitting dazzling light were actually extinguished last night, and even those eyes disappeared, which frightened the soldiers guarding it. “

Wang Lin smiled bitterly, his heart became more serious after hearing this, he didn't respond to Xie An, and still lowered his head to think about things.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of fast horses whipping in front of them, and Wang Lin and Xie An both looked into the distance, only to see a group of cavalry lined up in a row because the mountain road was difficult to walk, and rushed over in an orderly manner.

"Who's in front, give way! We have something important to do, we can't delay, get out of the way!" shouted a man who seemed to be the leader of the team.

Wang Lin and Xie An saw this group of cavalry rushing towards them, and hurriedly dragged their horses to the huge dense pile of rocks on both sides of the road. This mountain road, except for the narrow mountain road, is surrounded by gray and black rocks, and it is already difficult to set up people, and it is even more difficult for horses. It took a lot of effort for the two teenagers to drag their horses up the rocks.

However, the cavalry stopped, and the leader had a greedy look in his eyes.

"Phew!" the cavalry general at the head pulled his horse, and the seven or eight cavalry behind him also stopped at the same time.

The general dismounted, walked towards Wang Lin and Xie An and scolded: "You are so bold, do you know that you have delayed the mission of our border army, you are all guilty of killing your head!

Xie An showed a smile and gently explained to the cavalry general: "This soldier, we don't want to delay your trip, don't you think we will make way for you." I hope you will forgive me."

The leader of the general showed impatience on his face and said: "Why didn't I see it, you are moving so slowly, it looks like you are planning to delay our trip, come and slaughter these two horses for me, and then throw them on the pile of rocks, remember to take out your eyes, blow these two people away, hurry up!"

The eyes of the stone statue of the lion were extinguished, and the commander of the defending army on the east side of the broken mountain demanded that the cavalry must arrive within a day, and that the eyes should be re-lit if they said anything, otherwise all the defending generals on the east side would inevitably be punished by Marshal Cao. The leader of the general scolded his mother in his heart and said: "Grandma, how can we have that ability, just this time I dug out the horse's eyes, this horse's eyes are big, soaked in oil, and when the commander comes to inspect, directly ignite it, it should be able to burn for a while, and fool the past." ”

Wang Lin stepped forward, frowned and said to the leading general: "How can you be so cruel and unreasonable, we have also given you the way, what mistake did these two horses make, you actually want to slaughter them." ”

The leading general looked at Wang Lin and Xie An, carefully looked at their clothes, and suddenly laughed: "Who are you two? Let me tell you, our border army fights and dies every day for you little people, even if there is no reason, what can I do if I slaughter your two horses? Without us, you would have died five years ago, you know?" he glared at Wang Lin and then spit on the ground.

Xie An's face turned cold, and he was about to speak, when Wang Lin suddenly took out a token from his arms and said coldly: "This is the token given to me by your Lu Shen General, I think we should be able to pass through with Ma Anran." “

The leader of the general was stunned for a moment, then carefully observed the token, and thought to himself: "It's really General Lu, this kid is quite big."

Then the leader coughed and whispered to the two soldiers behind him. The two soldiers then walked up to Wang Lin and Xie An and said, "You two are suspected of forging the tokens of senior generals of the border army, and we will arrest you and return to the camp for interrogation." ”

Wang Lin looked at the two ill-intentioned soldiers who came over, and finally became angry, and shouted loudly: "Are you going to deny even the token of General Lu?"

The leading general smiled, and snorted to himself: "Heh, on the east side of our broken mountain, we only recognize Zheng Chen and Zheng Shen, not Lu Shenjun." After that, he glanced at the soldiers behind him, and then said to Wang Lin and Wu Chi: "You'd better be captured, otherwise we have reason to suspect that you are Yilan's spies!" The soldiers brushed it, and they all drew their swords at their sides, looking at Wang Lin and Xie An as if they were enemies.

Wang Lin was angry and prepared to capture the thief and capture the king first, and control the leader first. It's just that before the action, Xie An took the lead in holding down Wang Lin, looked at the provocative gaze of the leading general, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go with you." ”

Wang Lin looked at Xie An puzzled, Xie An whispered to Wang Lin: "You don't understand the internal situation of the border army in Xixia Prefecture, the eastern side of this broken mountain is only a few soldiers, and it is not beneficial to fight with them, rest assured, when they get to the camp, they will know that the current fearlessness is only because of ignorance." ”
