Volume 1: Beginning Chapter 13: Return to the Valley of the Shadows
Life has to be passed, and this Qinglian Residence is gradually becoming normal.
Jiang He rose against the rising sun and returned with the sunset.
By the lotus pond, the weeping willows are swaying, and on the red wall, a red skirt rises in the wind.
Liuli will appear on the red wall every morning, looking at Jiang He from afar, and as soon as Jiang Bing'er appears, the figure on the red wall will quietly disappear, clean and neat.
There is always an unspeakable tacit understanding between the two, Liuli will not approach, and Jiang He will not pay attention to her. She knew he needed absolute concentration, and he knew she was watching him.
Half a year has passed, the lotus flowers in the lake have long been dried up, the willow trees have also fallen bare, the lake surface is covered with a thin layer of ice, and the early morning sun is even more sparkling on the surface of the lake.
Jiuxiao Fist - the seventh fist, the mountains and seas roar.
Jiang He practiced the sixth fist three months ago, and now his seventh fist is also on the verge of completion.
No, it's almost.
After Jiang He readjusted his state and breathed steadily, he tried the roar of the mountains and seas again.
He clenched his fists, condensing all the spiritual elements in his body into his fists, and his hands were blue and green. He raised his hands in the air, gathered all the strength in his body, and with a roar of rage, he smashed his fists to the ground.
Under Jiang He's suppression, the shock caused by his fists was enough to impress.
The ground cracked twice, and the crack tore open in the direction of the stake with lightning speed, and when the crack reached the bottom of the stake, there was no change in the stake, and in an instant, the stake burst directly from the inside.
Jiang He was stunned, is this the power of the Nine Heavens Fist? If you go all out, you will not be able to fight with the sage.
It seems that the wooden stakes are going to be replaced again, Jiang He shook his head, there are not tens of thousands of wooden stakes damaged in the past six months, but thousands of them, and the broken wooden stakes are piled up in the corners of the wall, and the scene is extremely spectacular.
Today, Jiang He's Jiuxiao Fist seventh fist was practiced, and he looked up at the glass on the red wall. Ruri gave him a thumbs up to show her affirmation of him.
Seeing Jiang Bing'er coming over with breakfast, Jiang He knew that Liuli was leaving again, but at this moment, he had a desire not to want Jiang Bing'er to appear.
The next second was beyond his expectations, Liuli stepped on his feet and landed firmly in front of Jiang He.
Jiang Bing'er, who was not far away, saw it and hurriedly ran over.
"Who are you and why did you climb over the wall here?"
Jiang Bing'er looked at the two of them meaningfully, and was quite dissatisfied in her heart, so she stopped in front of the two.
"A friend. ”
Jiang He replied.
"What a friend, how come I haven't met. ”
Jiang Bing'er's hand between the two still didn't let go.
Liuli turned her back and ignored Jiang Bing'er.
"Today, I want you to accompany me to the secluded valley to hunt the Red Fire Spirit Beast, I heard that hunting it will get a Lingyuan Pill, your Nine Heavens Fist happens to restrain it, I don't know if you want to." ”
"I do. ”
"I don't want to. ”
The two voices sounded at the same time, and Jiang He and Jiang Bing'er looked at each other.
"Bing'er, what are you talking about. ”
Jiang He reminded Jiang Bing'er in a low voice.
"This woman's motives are not pure, and if she wants to go, she must take me with her. ”
Jiang Bing'er withdrew the hand that was between the two of them and crossed it on his chest.
Jiang He looked embarrassed and hurriedly explained.
"It's not that I won't take you, the secluded valley is sinister, I'm afraid that it will be dangerous for you to follow. ”
Jiang Bing'er's little face was flushed.
"Then you are not allowed to go. ”
Then she turned her head to the side, and she didn't give up.
Jiang He looked at the glass that turned his back, and then looked at Jiang Bing'er who turned his head, and spread his hands helplessly.
"Okay, two aunts and grandmothers, can't you go together? ”
Jiang Bing'er turned her head sharply and widened her blue eyes.
"Really?"
Jiang He touched Jiang Bing'er's little head.
"Really, let's leave tomorrow, what do you think?"
Ruri answered
"Tomorrow is still this hour, and I have come to you. ”
With that, he flew out of the red wall and disappeared.
"It's really self-proclaimed, and he doesn't take care of people. ”
When Jiang Bing'er saw that the woman was gone, she also turned around, didn't bother to pay attention to Jiang He, who was turning her elbow out, and went back to the room by herself, and didn't care about Jiang He's life or death all day.
To Jiang He's surprise, Jiang Bing'er, who was still sulking yesterday, packed up her package early in the morning and bombarded her door indiscriminately.
"Brother, it's time to get up and go. ”
Jiang He, who was tossing and turning on the bed, was finally impressed by Jiang Bing'er outside the door.
Jiang He pushed open the door, scratched his head, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Bing'er who was neatly dressed and had a package ready, and she handed Jiang He a package of dry food in her hand.
"This is all our dry food, this time I prepared a week's supply, very abundant. ”
Jiang He took the package, yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes again, turned around and closed the door.
"Wait for me to change my clothes. ”
Ten minutes later, a graceful and graceful Jiang He appeared in front of Jiang Bing'er.
Of course. This is just Jiang He's own imagination, in Jiang Bing'er's eyes, he is still the same Jiang He who is covered in stinky sweat when he practices boxing, and his hair is messy when he gets up.
"Hmph, pretend. ”
"You're not bad today, you don't have snot bubbles anymore. ”
Jiang He was not to be outdone, and would go back.
Jiang Bing'er snorted coldly, and walked towards the lake by herself.
When the two of them walked to the lake, Ruri seemed to have already arrived, and was boredly playing with the snowflakes on the ground with her hands.
"I'm sorry, I've been waiting. ”
Jiang He saw the slightly boring glass waiting and hurriedly apologized.
"Don't get in the way, I've just arrived, now that we're here, let's go. ”
Liuli was about to climb over the wall again, but suddenly thought that there were two people behind him, and awkwardly retracted his feet that wanted to take off.
"Well, let's go through the front door. ”
Jiang He smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, looking at Liuli who was walking awkwardly in front, a subtle smile, fleeting.
Qinglian has two black horses outside the house, burying their heads and gnawing on the few dead grasses.
Jiang Bing'er looked up at the snowflakes floating all over the sky, the cold wind was like a sharp long sword, meticulously drilling into her clothes, Jiang Bing'er couldn't help but hug her jacket again.
Liuli kicked with his left foot, and his right foot stepped along, landing firmly on the horse's back.
"You two horses. ”
Jiang He nodded, then hugged Jiang Bing'er onto the horse, and stepped on it himself.
"Bing'er, hold on. ”
On the sheep intestine path in Xuyu Village, three people, two horses, and the sound of horses' hooves crossed the silent sky.
"Drive!"
Liuli quickly whipped up, the ponytail that was tied up swayed behind him, and his immature face was mixed with a hint of stubbornness.
Jiang He couldn't help but speed up his pace when he saw Liuli who had thrown himself far away.
"Drive!"
Running all the way, Jiang Bing'er didn't complain any more, but the bumps on the road did make her uncomfortable.
Liuli glanced over and saw that Jiang Bing'er's face was already pale.
"Phew. ”
"Let's take a rest on the spot, we will enter the secluded valley not far ahead, and rest for a while. ”
Jiang Bing'er, who was hugged down, rubbed the soreness of her body.
"This horse is really not as convenient as Daddy's sword. ”
Liuli took out a piece of dry food and nibbled on it by herself, without raising her head, and her eyes did not wave.
"If you want to come with you, you will naturally have to suffer this. ”
"Who said I couldn't stand it. ”
Jiang Bing'er couldn't listen to the number of women in front of her, and straightened her back instantly.
"It's the best. ”
After Liuli finished speaking, she stopped talking, leaving the brother and sister chattering, and the back of one person seemed a little lonely.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, the three of them set off again full of energy.
After entering the secluded valley, the surrounding scenery became more comfortable, although it was slightly different from the last time. The last time I came here, it was full of spring and green, and this time I came here, although the trees have long withered, but it is covered in silver, and it has a unique flavor.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, brother, look over there, there's actually a flower there. Brother, can I go down and have a look?"
Jiang He looked in the direction Jiang Bing'er pointed, and in the white snow, a fiery red flower was blooming, and its bright color was like blood droplets, stinging Jiang He's eyes.
"Okay. ”
Jiang He jumped off the horse and hugged Jiang Bing'er down, Liuli also shouted to stop the horse when he saw this, but he didn't mean to come down, and looked at the high and low jumping in the snow with interest.
"It's kind of cute. ”
Ruri muttered quietly.
Jiang Bing'er approached the red flower that was about to drip juice, the flower was composed of six petals, and each petal was split into three petals, hanging obediently around, the more outward, the more intense the red. No wonder it gives people a visual sense that they are about to drip out.
"Hey, there's a lot of pink behind here. ”
After that, Jiang Bing'er stepped on the back of the flower and wanted to find out.
Who would have thought that the snow under their feet would collapse directly.
It's a cliff covered in snow!
Jiang Bing'er didn't have time to react, so she fell down with the rapidly collapsing snow, and Jiang Bing'er struggled with all her strength to clasp a solid piece of land on the edge of the cliff. shouted with all the strength of his body
"Brother, help me!"
Jiang He was also attracted by the sudden avalanche, and when he looked back, the direction where Jiang Bing'er was located had turned into a cliff, and Jiang Bing'er had long since disappeared.
"Oh no! Bing'er has an accident!"
Liuli also sensed the danger of the matter, hurriedly tied the horse, took off in two steps, surpassed Jiang He, who was still rushing to the edge of the cliff, and landed directly on the cliff where Bing'er was.
"Bing'er, Bing'er, are you okay?"
Jiang He, who was late, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Bing'er had returned to the shore, for fear that she would suffer some other injuries.
"Brother, I'm fine. ”
Jiang Bing'er looked awkwardly at Liuli, who was speechless.
"That, Sister Liuli, thank you for saving me. ”
Liuli put away the whip in his hand, wrapped it around his waist again, and walked to the horse, answering Jiang Bing'er as he walked.
"Next time, I may not be able to save you in such a timely manner. ”
"Got it, that, I just found a cave on the edge of a cliff. ”
Liuli turned around violently and looked at Jiang Bing'er
"Where is the cave? The cave on the edge of the cliff is the habitat of the Red Fire Spirit Beast. ”
"Just a foot or so down where I just landed. If you hadn't rescued me in time, I would have jumped into that cave for the time being. ”
Liuli hurriedly ran to the cliff, lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down, and sure enough, a three-zhang high cave suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ruri smiled and blossomed.
"It's really hard to find a place to step through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. ”
