Chapter 8: The Heavenly Demon
Saibei grassland. The two of them rode ten horses and ran wildly after the black spots in the sky.
Dense forest outside Dujia Village. A figure hurried through the forest.
The valley on the northern slope of the Troubled Cloud Mountain. The Black Wolf Riders rolled up their cowhide tents and began to move.
Nameless Col. Looking at the girl who was still sleeping, the old man shook his head helplessly, brushed the girl's face with a leaf, and said softly, "Baby, you should get up, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with the meteorite tomorrow."
Du Wu rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, stretched his waist and said, "Master, Wu'er hasn't slept enough" The old blacksmith pretended to be angry and said, "Don't get up again, the master will spank with a hammer" Frightened, Du Wu quickly rolled and stood up from the ground, sticking out his tongue. Looking up, through the dense foliage, the sun was already in the middle of the day. It turned out that he had slept all night and a half. smiled embarrassedly, revealing cute little tiger teeth. Said "Master, I drank a little too much last night" The old blacksmith shook the almost empty gourd, and said angrily, "I'm embarrassed to say that I don't even have to drink today."
As he spoke, he looked at the dense forest behind him and said to himself, "I don't know if those boys know how to bring some wine," Du Wu asked hurriedly
The blacksmith ignored him, threw the hammer over, and said, "Let's go."
Du Wu hurriedly picked up the hammer, identified the direction, and went first.
The two of them walked far away, and out of the woods came four young men dressed as hunters, carrying steel knives and carrying bows and arrows. followed the direction of the two.
The men had gone far away, when suddenly a leaf split on the top of a large tree, revealing an ape-like face. Looking at the direction in which a few people were walking, he said to himself, "Are you also looking for meteorites?" and said lightly, and landed on the top of another tree more than ten zhang away, so three verticals and two verticals, and went far.
But it was said that Du Wu and the blacksmith had been walking for a long time, and the sky was already dark. Seeing that he had only walked more than 30 miles, according to the blacksmith's estimate, there were still more than 40 miles, and he still needed to climb a mountain peak to get close to the place where the meteorite fell. I am afraid that I will not be able to move forward today. He stopped Du Wu and said, "Wu'er, it's not early today, let's rest for another night, who told you to get up so late today" Du Wu heard this, hurriedly threw down the hammer, sat on the ground, and said anxiously, "Master, let's have dinner" The blacksmith did not answer, but shouted to the woods behind him, "Boys, come out" Four young men came out of the forest, and it was Du Sanlang who sent him to secretly protect Du Wu's apprentice. The first one stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wu, you have long known that we are behind" The blacksmith did not answer, but asked, "A few boys have brought some local wine, no" The young man replied, "The village chief ordered, one of us brought a pot" The blacksmith heard the words and said, "You have a heart", put down the wine, you rest here for one night, and go back to the village tomorrow" The young man replied, "The village chief ordered, tell me to follow Uncle Wu all the way, but I dare not go back alone." The blacksmith said, "Let it be you," and took the flask handed by the young man and drank it. Du Wu looked at the wine jug in the blacksmith's hand, revealing a look of hope. The blacksmith said angrily, "Don't drink it again today, you won't be able to afford it again tomorrow morning," Du Wu was full of disappointment. The four young men took out some smoked chicken and rabbit from their bodies, handed them to the blacksmith and Du Wu, and Du Wu took the meat before turning his worries into joy. Happily chewed.
The group was full of food and drink, and each found a place to rest.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the blacksmith woke up Du Wu, and today Du Wu really woke up. Much more sober. Everyone cleaned up neatly and nibbled on some flatbread steamed buns. So he got up and walked in the direction where the meteorite fell.
In front of you is a high peak, and there are some paths in the mountains that hunters have trodden. The four young men opened the way in front, cutting the long grass that blocked the road with their knives, and Du Wu and the blacksmith followed behind. At noon, everyone had climbed to the top and looked down. I saw that there was a flat land under the mountain, and there were bursts of smoke about ten miles away. It is expected that the meteorite fell and caused the wildfire, but fortunately it is summer, and the mountain is humid, so the fire is not large, and it looks like it will be extinguished soon. It's just that there's still some smoke coming out.
Du Wu became excited, and ran first, carrying a sledgehammer on her shoulder, running wildly all the way, shaking the ground and clanging. The four young men hurriedly followed, and the old blacksmith followed unhurriedly.
Ape Jiu, who had been following behind everyone, saw that there was no tree in front of him and could no longer follow, so he made a circle and detoured along the deep grass and dense forest to the direction where the meteorite fell. His body is amazing, although he detoured, but he was faster than everyone else, more than ten miles away, only half a cup of tea had arrived, and everyone was less than half the way at this time. I saw a big pit with a three-zhang square circle in the grass in front of me, the outer edge was neat, and there was still green smoke coming out of the pit. Ape Jiu still needs to take a closer look, and suddenly someone said, "Old Jiu, the young wolf lord asked you to go and talk back" It was Xiong Da. Busy following Xiong Da into the forest behind the pit. It turned out that Jin Yunhao and his entourage had already arrived, but they hid in the forest because the fire had not yet been extinguished.
Ape Jiu saluted Jin Yunhao and recounted the experience of following the blacksmith and his party along the way. He added, "That little girl and the four men don't look like people with martial arts. It's just that the little girl has some strength, and the hammer she is carrying is afraid that there are hundreds of pounds, which will shake the heavens and the earth. But the old blacksmith, a little bit of the depth, his subordinates are very cautious, it seems that he is still aware of it, if it is true, I am afraid it is a hard stubble. “
Hearing this, Jin Yunhao carefully inquired about the blacksmith's figure and face, as well as the hammer. After listening to Ape Jiu's detailed situation. After pondering for a long time, he said slowly, "Listen to what you say, this blacksmith, is it the strong heavenly demon that the national teacher once mentioned to me? If it is really him, it is a little troublesome, I am afraid that I will have to wait for the national teacher to arrive in person before I can do it."
Xiong Da, Ape Jiu and the others were all stunned when they heard the Great Heavenly Demon. I don't know who it is.
