Volume 1, Entering the World and Birth Chapter 30, Broken Dreams and Sword Shadows, Life and Death
The mountain behind the Five Elements Sect.
At this time, Luo Yu and Zhang Wu were walking in a lush forest.
The back mountain of the Five Elements Sect is not only rich in tree species, but also many birds and animals. Although it is dangerous and abnormal for mortals, it is the opposite for the children of the sect. It's just that the food in the sect is relatively monotonous and light and tasteless, so there are often disciples who come to the back mountain to hunt and fight tooth sacrifices, which can be regarded as improving the food.
It is said that the sect will also distribute Bigu Dan on a regular basis, and if you take one, you can not eat for a day, which is also miraculous!
Luo Yu was walking at the moment, while observing Zhang Wu, who was a head shorter than him beside him. This Zhang Wu is about the same age as him, his skin exudes a healthy light bronze, except for the small eyes, these facial features are also quite upright, but he is short and looks a little thin.
Although Zhang Wu started a year earlier than Luo Yu, it was not long. It is said that now that he has reached the first level of qi refining, Luo Yu instinctively ignores and ignores any cultivation realm. After some observation, Luo Yu saw that everyone had formed a team before, but they were unwilling to be in a group with Zhang Wu, as if everyone did not treat Zhang Wu very well. Therefore, he took the initiative to form a group with this Senior Brother Zhang.
At this moment, Zhang Wu turned his head and smiled sincerely: "Senior Brother Luo, thank you for the previous group." ”
Suddenly hearing Zhang Wu's words for no reason, Luo Yu was stunned at first, then smiled slightly, and said in his heart, "I never thought that this Zhang Wu looks honest, but he is also delicate in his heart." ’
Thinking of this, Luo Yu waved his hand and said: "Senior Brother Zhang doesn't have to be polite, I heard that there are many birds and beasts in the back mountains, and I, a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, needs Senior Brother Zhang to take care of it at that time." ”
Luo Yu said but saw Zhang Wu's eyes gloomy, and then sighed and laughed at himself: "My fellow disciples all think that my Zhang Wu's qualifications are poor and low, and they are short and thin and unwilling to get close to me. Possible... Only Senior Brother Luo thinks so. ”
Feeling the other party's low mood, Luo Yu stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Wu with relief: "Senior Brother Zhang, don't be depressed because of the superficial words of others, isn't it common to say among the same sect that 'the strong are respected'?
Zhang Wu was shocked when he heard this, nodded secretly, and regained his confidence and said: "Senior brother is reasonable, I, Zhang Wu, will work hard to improve myself." ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed, during which the two also chatted a few interesting things about the sect from time to time, which was also pleasant and comfortable.
But not long after Luo Yu and the others left, a black-clothed and masked figure was quietly flashing out! Looking at the disappearing backs of the two, the eyes of the black-clothed man were full of fierceness and mockery.
......
Sunlight shines through the dense foliage overhead, casting a golden light. Resin and fresh breeze are mixed with the agarwood forest.
At this time, Luo Yu was on his own side with Zhang Wu, waving a knife and chopping wood.
"Click~!"
Cutting off a branch with the thickness of an arm, Luo Yu raised his body, rubbed his sore and weak arm, and couldn't help but sigh "Luo Yu, Luo Yu, pity you for being a weak scholar, and you have fallen here to chop wood, it's really bitter." Hey~ Anyway, I also have some experience in cutting trees, Senior Brother Zhang is thin and weak, and he wants to be more ...... than me I'll go!'.
Luo Yu stared at Zhang Wu behind him with big eyes, only to see that Zhang Wu wielded his sword powerfully, each knife was clean and neat, and the sword shadow fell obliquely quickly, but there was no trace of exhaustion. looked at the half-human-high pyre beside Zhang Wu, and then looked at the ...... beside him I can't bear to look at it.
Seeing this, an inexplicable sense of frustration rose in Luo Yu's heart, and then he asked enviously, "Why is Senior Brother Zhang so fast?"
As soon as Luo Yu's words fell, I saw Zhang Wu raise his head, wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Luo, don't be surprised, before entering the sect, I made a living by chopping wood." Now that I'm back to my old job, I'm naturally very skilled hahaha~. ”
After Zhang Wu explained, he saw the pitiful 'results' under Luo Yu's feet, and then saw that Luo Yu was still panting at this time, and remembered Luo Yu's previous comfort to him, so he grinned and said: "Senior Brother Luo, this chopping wood is not cutting trees, hehehe~ I heard that Senior Brother was a scholar in the past, and I don't think he has done these labors. In this way, junior brother, you can rest for a while, and I will help you when I am done. ”
After speaking, Zhang Wu didn't wait for Luo Yu to reply, he bowed his waist again and swung his sword Huo Huo powerfully, and his hand was a little faster than before. Luo Yu's heart suddenly warmed when he saw this, he was usually able to speak well, but he couldn't even say half a sentence at this time. After a moment of silence, Luo Yu tightened the handle of the knife in his hand, and once again raised the heavy woodcutter and slashed hard.
Half an hour later, Luo Yu sat paralyzed on the pyre tied with a circle of hemp rope, panting like a cow. On the other side, Zhang Wu's face did not change much as usual, obviously his physical strength was amazing! Luo Yu could only laugh at himself when he saw it, and at this moment he admired the five-body body in his heart.
Looking up at the sky, Zhang Wu saw that it was still early, so he threw the bamboo tube in front of him and said with concern: "Senior brother, drink some water to quench your thirst." It's still early, so it's not too late to rest and go back. ”
When you are tired and exhausted, a sip of water into your throat is simply better than any elixir and jade dew, not to mention how refreshing and refreshing!
Not long after, Luo Yu, who was exhausted, slowly entered his dream by leaning on the pyre.
...... In the darkness...... Suddenly!
"Knock! knock......!"
The monstrous sound of war drums resounded all around! Luo Yu opened his eyes and found himself standing on the top of the mountain, the surrounding darkness retreating, and the sea of clouds rolling! Endless corpses and weapon fragments were scattered in the void. The sea of people, phantoms, and brilliance in the sky is outlining a tragic war! Roars, roars, and the sound of war drums are impregnating the entire battlefield. The war is still going on.......
In front of him, a white swimming fish slowly swam slowly, Luo Yu recovered from the shock, looked at the two swimming fish and asked, "Where is this? Why am I here?"
The swimming fish swim slowly ...... silently!
But at this moment, suddenly, a vague figure appeared out of thin air in front of Luo Yu!
The vague figure seemed to be dressed in a dark robe, and its long hair was flying wantonly, overlooking the battle on the vast sea of clouds.
At this time, Luo Yu was even more surprised, and after hesitating for a moment, he looked at the figure and asked, "Who are you?"
Xuanyi's figure still looked at the battlefield and was silent. On the contrary, the two swimming fish suddenly jumped up, as if they were going to drag him towards the figure of Xuanyi!
When Luo Yu saw this, he was shocked: "What are you doing?...!
But no matter how Luo Yu asked or how he resisted, the two little fish seemed to be dumb, and they only swam desperately towards the figure of Xuanyi!
At this time, Luo Yu was clutching onto the peak, looking at all this in horror.
Suddenly, the figure of Xuanyi looked back, revealing a blurred face, and said with a smile: "Have you found it?"
Luo Yu was stunned and wondered, "What did you find?"
After hearing this, Xuanyi's figure said inexplicably: "I will find it, I will find it, I will find my ......." ”
Luo Yu clenched his hands, hugged the protruding boulder, and frowned, "What are you talking about?"
Xuanyi's figure seemed to wave his hand, and said quietly: "True self, self...... , Luo asked Tianmo to trust anyone!"
Luo Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Who are you? How do you know that my name is Luo Wentian?"
Xuanyi's figure looked back again, although his face was blurred, Luo Yu seemed to be able to feel that he was smiling! And at this moment, the Xuanyi figure actually walked slowly! With a shock of his arms, the two swimming fish broke free of Luo Yu in an instant, turned into a dragon shadow, and wrapped around the arms of the Xuanyi figure!
Without waiting for Luo Yu to be shocked for a moment, the figure of Xuanyi had already come to the front. The blurred face was staring at him, and he said coldly, "Jump off the peak! ”
After speaking, the figure of Xuanyi unexpectedly stretched out one hand and lifted him up easily! Luo Yu was suddenly shocked, and glanced at the abyss of the sea of clouds under the peak, where the war continued, and he roared in fear!
"No! let go of me!"
With a loud roar, Luo Yu woke up in his dream and returned to the dense forest in the back mountain!
I could only hear it, but Zhang Wu on the opposite side suddenly exclaimed: "Senior brother, be careful!"
Luo Yu didn't know why, and hurriedly looked up.
And at this moment, I saw that Zhang Wu on the other side actually threw the firewood knife in his hand towards him! The firewood knife with a black and shining silver glow swirled, like an iron wheel, roaring towards the door in front of him! When Luo Yu saw it, he was shocked, and he was even more puzzled, 'Why did Zhang Wu kill...?!'
Don't wait for Luo Yu to think about it, let alone dodge. I saw that the firewood knife was rotating extremely fast, and it actually brought a burst of wind and breaking sound! Shengsheng passed an inch next to his ear, and his left ear hurt and hurt!
"Wow!~!"
Behind him, there was a piercing sound of gold and iron clashing, and Luo Yu's eardrum seemed to be about to burst!
Luo Yu suddenly turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that the previous firewood knife had been knocked away, and at this moment, it was diagonally inserted on the big tree pole not far away, trembling alone!
Luo Yu immediately understood when he saw it! What Zhang Wu wanted to kill him, it was clearly Zhang Wu who saved his life! Seeing this, he hurriedly took a few steps back and came to Zhang Wu's side, but Zhang Wu's firewood knife was lost, and there was no sharp weapon in his hand. So he pulled out a stick (a thick branch) and placed it in front of him and Luo Yu.
Looking at the man in black who was walking slowly in front of him, although Luo Yu was nervous at the moment, it was not the first time he had encountered this kind of thing after all. Seeing this, he stabilized his mind and also picked up a wooden stick to defend himself.
The man in black on the opposite side, seeing that the two of them actually used a wooden stick as a weapon, suddenly laughed wickedly: "It's really ridiculous, thinking that you can save your life by relying on two rotten woods?"
Although the man in black laughed wildly, Luo Yu looked at the sword in the hand of the man in black with a suspicious face, and secretly said in his heart, "Although this person deliberately changed his voice, he is holding the long sword of the sect!" and he is wearing black clothes to cover his identity, thinking that he should be a member of the sect." Who will it be?...!... Is it a weekly performance?'.
Luo Yu suddenly thought of Zhou Yan, who had a festival with him, and when he looked at the man in black again, his body shape was really very similar to Zhou Yan, and he was even more sure in his heart.
At this time, the eagle eyes of the man in black were staring at the two of them viciously, as if they were looking at the dying and struggling prey.
Luo Yu is now expected to be Zhou Yan, although he is nervous, he is not flustered. However, at this moment, although Zhang Wu has been in the sect for a year, he has never experienced such a life and death danger, and his body is tense and trembling at this moment.
But despite this, his eyes were very determined, and at the same time he did not forget to shout: "Who are you, why do you want to kill us?"
Zhang Wu knew that the other party's cultivation was far above his own when he struck the flying firewood knife with the sword of the man in black. He knew that today was a bad day, and he thought that even if he died, he couldn't be a fool, so he asked!
However, it was obvious that the man in black didn't want to answer this idiotic question, so he saw the man in black take a step forward and point his sword with one hand and pointed directly at him: "Hehehe~ Your question should be left on Huangquan Road and asked again." ”
After speaking, the long sword of the man in black stabbed forward, and in an instant, the golden light on the long sword soared again, and the dead branches and fallen leaves around it were even more torn apart when touched!
When Zhang Wu saw his heart, he couldn't even see his cultivation clearly? This person's cultivation was probably beyond the fifth layer of qi refining! And Senior Brother Luo didn't cultivate, and if he touched it, he would die!
In a hurry, Zhang Wu didn't want to think about it, so he mobilized his spiritual power to suddenly push away Luo Yu, who was shocked, and shouted: "Senior brother, run! Thief! Look at my earthen wall technique!"
Listening to Zhang Wu's angry shouts, Luo Yu only felt a strong force coming! Before he could wonder, why did Zhang Wu's small body have such strength? His body had already flown out upside down. In mid-air, Luo Yu saw that the thin Zhang Wu shook the ground with his fists! But then an even more surprising picture appeared, only to see that the ground in front of Zhang Wu was trembling and shaking, and before he could breathe less than half a breath, a one-person-high earth and stone barrier was raised, sealing the front of him!
And the black-clothed man who came with the golden sword was disdainful in his eyes, and the sound of the sword and stone clashing burst out in just a moment!
"Click, snort~~ bang!"
The long sword pierced through the earth-and-stone barrier that was more than a foot thick in front of Zhang Wu's body in an instant! Under the golden light, the barrier was like paper paste! The man in black instantly passed through the scattered and collapsed barrier, and his big hand flung out at will, "Bang!" Before Zhang Wu could react, he flew several feet in response and knocked unconscious under the big tree.
The man in black didn't look at it, and snorted coldly: "Vulnerable." ”
Retracting his disdainful eyes, the man in black looked back at Luo Yu, who was running wildly at the moment, and let out an arrogant laugh: "Run, run hard~ It's a little interesting to do this..."
Luo Yu listened to the manic laughter of the man in black behind him, and thought that Zhang Wu was more than lucky! The ghostly strange laughter behind him was knocking on his heart all the time. Now that the circuit has been cut off, he can only run in the deep and dense forest, and he can't know the direction in the panic.
Suddenly! Luo Yu only felt that his eyes suddenly lit up. As far as the eye can see, he can only see the clouds and mist in front of him, and the clouds and mist in front of him are even more than half of his body! Seeing this scene, Luo Yu's heart suddenly sudden, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, thinking that he had fled to the sect's medicine garden, thinking that the medicine garden was a forbidden place for the sect, and the trespasser died, he suddenly hesitated in his heart.
But just as he wanted to quit, he suddenly woke up!' The man in black is behind him, whether he dies or not, it's better to let go than sit and wait to die?'
Thinking of this, Luo Yu no longer hesitated, quickened his pace and ran forward, and the clouds and mist under his feet also dispersed one by one, "Huh!?Shouldn't it be a medicine garden?'Why are there no medicinal herbs?'.
Just when Luo Yu was running wildly and wondering, he only felt that his feet were suddenly empty! He looked down, and he was suddenly frightened that the souls of the dead were all cold all over his body! Where was the spiritual herb field under his feet, but he was running eagerly, and he had already rushed into the cliff, and the vines were falling and the clouds were rolling.... Bottomless!
Luo Yu exclaimed in mid-air: "Damn! ”
With an unwilling cry in an instant, Luo Yu fell off the cliff!
In the blink of an eye, the man in black came to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the abyss of clouds and mist under his feet, he slowly took off his black-clothed mask, revealing a vicious face. As Luo Yu expected, who is it if it's not Zhou Yan?
raised his foot and kicked a shoe left by Luo Yu next to him off the cliff, and then he showed a satisfied smile and said: "Luo Yu, this is the fate of you humiliating me Zhou Yan and daring to fight with me for women." Fall to death! It's your creation, if it falls into my hands, you will be broken into thousands of pieces~"
After venting, Zhou Yan turned around and left.
But at this moment, under the clouds and mist of the cliff, there was a person who was entangled in the air by the intricately coiled vines, and this person was Luo Yu who fell off the cliff and did not die.
Thinking back to the situation just now, Luo Yu was still shocked, if he hadn't tripped over the vines under his feet when he fell off the cliff, how could he have been entangled by the vines hanging on the edge of the cliff and save his life.
And when Luo Yu was rescued by the vines, what Zhou Yan said had already been collected in his ears. But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about this, he just wanted to get out of trouble as soon as possible. Looking at the bottomless cliff below him, and the endless vines hanging down, although his heart was a little at ease at the moment, he was also very anxious.
"If the vine breaks, it won't be broken! No, it's better to climb up as soon as possible. ”
Thinking of this, Luo Yu waited for his strength to recover a little, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the vines beside him, feeling that it was quite strong, so he stepped on the rock wall and slowly climbed up.
After a while, Luo Yu felt that his arms seemed to be filled with lead, and he could no longer exert his strength: "In the past, when I saw people climbing mountains and rocks, I didn't think it was so difficult, why did I have to work so hard to get to myself?"
In fact, Luo Yu forgot that when he chopped wood for a while, his arms had already lost his strength, and now how could he have the strength to climb?
Just like this, he climbed a small cliff, and he climbed for a long time before he saw the top of the cliff about a zhang distance above. At this time, Luo Yu only felt as if his body had been hollowed out!
I had to laugh at myself weakly and murmured: "This is really the answer to the end of the world.... It's just one zhang, but it's as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”
Suddenly, when Luo Yu laughed at himself and sighed, a shout suddenly came from the cliff: "Senior Brother Luo, where are you ?......?"
Luo Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and at the same time shouted for help.
..........
Five Elements Sect, Luo Yu in a small bamboo house.
At this time, Luo Yu had been saved, and the sect asked about the distress, but Luo Yu did not say Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan dared to do this, and he was definitely prepared to be absent. If someone testifies, Luo Yu will be a family at that time, but he may be accused of framing his fellow sects, who called him weak now, but a rookie who has just entered the sect. Moreover, although Zhang Wu was injured, fortunately he only had some external injuries and did not worry about his life. This time he was able to be saved, thanks to Zhang Wu's sacrifice to save him.
Even so, it's better not to say it, but also to repay your grievances with virtue, hoping that the performance of that week can turn the war into a jade silk. Although Luo Yu also knew that the possibility of such a situation was almost zero, between the pros and cons, the advantages and disadvantages of the situation, and he had his own way of making a choice.
After everyone dispersed, Luo Yu looked at the green mountains and clouds in the distance, and sighed with the wind: "It's really a fairyland on earth, but it's not a place for me to stay for a long time." Danger aside, now that a lot of time has passed, what should Ling'er do?"
Thinking of this, Luo Yu reached into his arms and gently took out an object, looked at the plum blossom hairpin in his hand, and said with anxiety in his heart: "No, time is not waiting, I want to leave as soon as possible...... But, the old man of Liu Radar was keeping a tight guard. How can I go down the mountain? There is really no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, just like the mountain cliff hanging in the air today, helpless and helpless....... ”
Thinking of this, Luo Yu was suddenly depressed, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking out of the window stupidly.
When he saw the sea of clouds steaming between the green mountains, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Cliff! Yes, why didn't I think of it." Isn't the bottom of the cliff just under the mountain? Today, I see that the vines are strong and dense, maybe I can go down the mountain, yes, I definitely can!~ I'm really a genius ....... Well, now it is impossible to escape by chopping wood, and the sect has temporarily exempted me from the task of chopping firewood because of this matter, and this road seems to be unworkable. But if he sneaks in at night, Liu Leida will definitely find out! This is ....... ”
Luo Yu couldn't think of a better way for a while, plus today's chopping wood, running, fleeing, and climbing. Exhausted, he thought for a while, and then he fell asleep on the bed.
