Chapter 232: Convergence
Shangguan Yili and Wang Jiangyuan are definitely decent people of Daomen, Xiao Yueming actually has a good relationship with the six major factions of Daomen, when the Demon Gate was in chaos in the Xiao Mansion in Jiangnan, the six major factions of Daomen also reached out to help and fight the enemy together, but even so, Xiao Yueming has not had any contact with them over the years, and even the elders of the sect with a very high status have forgotten Xiao Yueming.
If it was the seniors of the other sects of the six major sects who came today, Xiao Yueming might also consider whether to ask them for help, but it was indeed Shangguan Yili and Wang Jiangyuan who met today, so it was impossible for Xiao Yueming to whisper to these two people in order to ask Elder Gray Cloud to look at each other.
The danger in the mountains and forests of Qionghai is far beyond Xiao Yueming's imagination, and the road ahead is even more dangerous, I saw Xiao Yueming turn his head to Hu Wei behind him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Can you return the weapon to us, I don't know how much danger there is ahead, the two of us go farther, your safety, isn't it a little bigger." ”
That's right, but Feihu can't hear it:
"His grandmother's, still thinking about sabering, are you a fool to be a grandfather!"
I saw the white lotus next to Feihu gently tugging at his sleeve, and Feihu immediately seemed to understand something, closed his mouth suddenly, and stopped making a sound.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Wei took off the bag on his back and handed over the short sword and the bloody short blade to Xiao Yueming's hands.
Qing Yuan is a famous ancient sword on the weapon spectrum, the target is too big, naturally it will not be given to Xiao Yueming, the reason why he responded to Xiao Yueming's request is that Hu Wei has absolute confidence in his own strength, and Xiao Yueming and Su Lan have now taken the Hundred Days Heartbreaking Pill, there is no need to worry, what Xiao Yueming said is also true, they can go farther, and they will naturally be able to eliminate more dangers.
Su Lan took the short sword in his hand, and a faint sadness could not help but rise in his heart, who wanted to hold this short sword for the first time, it was in Baiyue County, how high-spirited and free he was at that time, but current affairs made people, this went around for only a month, but it was highly poisonous in his body, and he fell into such a situation.
Xiao Yueming took out the bloody short blade, only to see the dark red blade flash a little emerald green light in the dark night, this is the poison that Hu Wei personally quenched when he first got the short blade, although he couldn't get Qingyuan, but with a weapon in hand, he can also feel at ease.
The three Shangguan Yili and Zhao Gang all noticed the delicate relationship between Xiao Yueming and Su Lan and the Four Sages of Gushan, but this is someone else's business after all, and the most taboo thing on the rivers and lakes is to meddle in the grievances and disputes between others.
That Zhao Gang's eyes paused for a moment on the body of Qin Xue and Cun, which naturally couldn't hide Xiao Yueming's eyes, too, Zhao Gang, as the head of a faction, a top second-rate realm martial artist, the weapons in his hands were naturally not bad, but compared with Inch Blood, it was slightly inferior.
The deep meaning in Zhao Gang's eyes, Xiao Yueming naturally understood it, but he didn't bother to pay attention to this person, the cultivation of the third-rate realm, although Xiao Yueming was now cultivated, he didn't look down on this person, he just kept an eye in his heart, Xiao Yueming understood that his biggest opponent now was the Four Saints of Gushan.
An hour later, as everyone continued to go deeper into the mountains, the uncomfortable aura around them, with the gradual deepening of the surrounding darkness, became more and more intense, everyone came along the way, and also met a lot of warriors, some were alone on the mountain, some in pairs, after the two sides met, they did not say much, just passed by, after all, the ancient city has not yet opened, and now there is a dispute, it is really not a wise move.
It stands to reason that there should be a large number of various animals in the mountains and forests of this scale, but after walking for a long time, there are no animals except for the snake and the hare, which makes Xiao Yueming feel uneasy, sometimes, the creatures living in the local area often have the ability to predict danger, maybe the animals in the Qionghai Mountains and forests have sensed the danger coming, and have left here, or hid in a safe place.
Shuttling between the dark woods, everyone walked for about an hour, and except for the mysterious atmosphere of this Qionghai mountain forest, everything seemed lifeless, as if there was no danger.
The warriors also gradually became familiar with the dark environment around them, and their courage gradually increased, and everyone began to talk to each other, guessing what happened in the mountains and forests of Qionghai, what kind of precious treasures would appear, some people said that it was a divine weapon, and some people concluded that there was a secret book born, but no matter what, after the fear in everyone's hearts, a kind of excitement and joy was gradually spreading, this unimaginable change occurred here, no matter what the result was, there was only one possibility, that is, the things in the ancient city, absolutely valuable!
Zhao Gang took a simple topographic map, calculated the travel time, and roughly compared it with the surrounding environment:
"Shangguan Gongzi, cross the forest ahead, and you should arrive at the highest ridge of this Qionghai Mountain Forest. ”
The topographic map in Zhao Gang's hand is not valuable, and the locals living in Qionghua Town almost have a copy.
Shangguan Yili carefully looked at the topographic map, nodded slightly, and saw that he turned his head to look at the people behind him who looked vigilant but had returned to normal, and secretly thought in his heart how to make this group of rabble give full play to their interests.
After crossing the forest, what came into view was a steep slope, which was about ten zhang high, although it looked steep, but everyone was a martial artist with cultivation, and this height was not a problem.
Seeing Shangguan etiquette, Wang Jiangyuan and the three of them took the lead in performing light skills, and their footsteps were lightly tapped on the soft soil, flying all the way up.
Xiao Yueming hugged Su Lan's waist, Su Lan's waist was slender, and her hand felt soft and boneless:
"Be careful. ”
Xiao Yueming said softly in a voice, and Su Lan nodded shyly.
I saw Xiao Yueming holding Su Lan's shoulder with one hand, and grasping the trunk of the tree growing on the steep slope with the other hand, and the soles of his feet suddenly exerted force, climbing up like a dexterous ape, and the speed was not slow.
Although Xiao Yueming can already perform light skills at this time, but when he is exposed at this time, isn't he throwing himself into the net, with the strong physique of an ordinary second-rate realm, even if he doesn't use light skills, Xiao Yueming's climbing speed is not much slower than that of a third-rate realm martial artist.
Grabbing a raised tree root with his palm, Xiao Yueming jumped into the air, flew into the air, and deftly climbed the slope about ten zhang high, and the three Shangguan ceremonial rites who came up first had already walked into the jungle first.
"Boom~"
I saw the four saints of the ancient mountain, Zhao Gang, and a few martial artists with slightly higher cultivation, jumping up the slope behind Xiao Yueming.
"Hurry up, and let grandpa urge you to fail?!"
Feihu looked at Xiao Yueming and Su Lan who were standing on the edge of the woods, and spoke in a loud voice.
Holding the bloody short blade in his hand firmly in my hand, Xiao Yueming didn't pay attention to the flying tiger, seeing that he grabbed Su Lan's arm, blocked behind him, and stepped into the dark woods in front of him.
As for the others, seeing that someone had opened the way for themselves, they naturally did not refuse, and they all followed behind the four saints of Gushan shamelessly.
Peeling back the woods, you can vaguely see the figures of the three Shangguan ceremonies in front of you, and then looming under the cover of the leaves, Xiao Yueming followed the footprints of the three and marched all the way forward.
After walking less than half a mile, Xiao Yueming's ears moved slightly, but he heard the noisy sound of a crowd talking not far ahead.
And the four saints of Gushan naturally discovered it, and they couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in their hearts, and their internal forces were also in a state of being able to mobilize at any time.
"There's a ridge ahead!"
Zhao Gang took the topographic map and pointed ahead.
"Hey, there's a voice in front of me. ”
Zhao Gang's cultivation was more than a step worse than Xiao Yueming and the Four Sages of Gushan, so he naturally discovered it a little later.
Xiao Yueming walked in front of the road, only to hear the noisy sound in his ears becoming clearer and clearer, and when he pushed aside the canopy of the trees in front of him, he saw a wide open space, revealing in front of Xiao Yueming's eyes.
This clearing occupies a huge area, and in the mountains full of dense forests, it seems extremely abrupt, there are no trees on the ground, but dense white Qionghua grows, which is no different from the general in Qionghua Town.
At this time, there were dozens of martial artists sitting cross-legged or standing in the clearing, and when they saw the arrival of Xiao Yueming and Su Lan, their eyes only swept slightly, and after looking at it, they ignored it.
I saw that the three Shangguan ceremonies were talking with a middle-aged monk with white eyebrows and beards, looking at this Shangguan ceremonial ceremony and Wang Jiangyuan's humble and respectful appearance, it was like two people when they were in Qionghua Town.
At this time, the four saints of Gushan and others also walked out of the dense forest and came to the clearing, and everyone present saw that hundreds of people had emerged, and they couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Everyone found a relatively dry place, sat on the spot and rested, Xiao Yueming looked up at the sky, there was no dense canopy to obstruct it, but the sky was unobstructed, only to see a few lightning flashes from time to time in the heavy clouds, which seemed very low in the line of sight, as if the next moment, the lightning would split in front of him.
The four saints of Gushan sat on the ground, with soft Qionghua paving, which was comfortable to do, and saw the boss under the flying tiger's linen robe, muttering in a low voice:
"His grandmother's, why did this old bald donkey come too, didn't he say that he was preaching in a foreign country!"
Huangfu Lou looked at the unintentional mage who was talking to Shangguan Yili, and couldn't help but feel a burst of vigilance in his heart:
"This unintentional mage is notoriously unprofitable, and his cultivation has reached the realm of first-class entry, and his light skills are changeable, he is afraid that he has already seen that the mountains and forests of Qionghai will have different changes, otherwise he will not only run back to the Central Plains for thousands of miles. ”
Xiao Yueming heard what Feihu and Huangpu Lu said, and also looked at the unintentional mage not far away, he had already discovered that this middle-aged monk was unusual, but he didn't expect that it was a first-class martial artist, a first-class master who is rarely seen on weekdays, and today there were two of them, this Qionghai mountains and forests, there must be a big event to happen today!
