Chapter 9: The Black Wind Forest

Early in the morning, Shen Liu, Bai Yu and Ziyu said goodbye to their master and walked towards the way down the mountain.

On Kunlun Mountain, a person, with crane hair and a childish face, holding Buddha dust in his hand, a plain robe fluttering in the breeze, and the fairy wind and bones are like immortals outside the world.

The kind-eyed Xuan Qingzhen was looking at the three backs that were drifting away, and thought to himself: "I hope that this experience can make you become the person you are looking forward to as a teacher." ”

Along the way, Ziyu was like a bird released from its cage, chirping and jumping around.

Sometimes I pluck an unknown wildflower on the side of the road, put it in front of my nose and take a deep breath, sometimes intoxicated by the fragrance, sometimes with a disgusted expression;

Sometimes with the crisp sound of birds, accompanied by the refreshing sound of the wind, hum a brisk little song.

However, along the way, she brought a lot of joy to Shen Liu and Bai Yu, and she was not so boring. I even forgot the heavy mood caused by various reasons before going down the mountain.

Although the bright sunshine can make people feel comfortable and happy, it also makes them sweat profusely and have a dry mouth along the way.

It just so happened that a tea shed appeared in front of it. Generally, there are such places for people to rest for a while next to the main road between the more prosperous two places, and there are two main forms:

One was a relatively modest inn, and the other was the open-air tea shed they saw now.

However, people who walk the rivers and lakes prefer this kind of open-air tea shed more. Because although some post stations can shelter from the wind and rain, if you are not careful, you only need a bowl of tea, and you will become meat to be slaughtered on someone else's chopping board.

The open-air tea shed is more modest than the post house: a few bamboo poles set up a white canvas to shade the sun, and a few tables and chairs are set up for the guest officers to rest their legs and drink tea.

A stove is placed next to the shop to boil a few pots of rough inferior tea. Shen Liu, the three of them saw this kind of open-air tea shed.

"There's a tea shed in front, let's go have a bowl of tea and rest, and casually ask how long it is to get to Black Rock City. Bai Yu suggested.

"Well, that's fine. After walking for so long, the little junior sister must be tired. Huh, where is the little junior sister?" Shen Liu finished speaking, and found that Ziyu was not beside him.

The two of them looked back and found that Ziyu was too tired to be unwanted, so they both put their beloved sword on the ground and dragged it.

"I hate it, why are you two walking so fast, I'm really tired of this woman. Ziyu bent over and stood in place panting, making Shen Liu and Bai Yu, who were waiting for her, laugh.

"Let's go, there's a tea shed in front. Let's go for a bowl of tea to quench our thirst and take a break. Shen Liu said softly to Ziyu.

The three of them came to the tea shed and found a place to sit down, and at this time, there were already some passers-by in the tea shed drinking tea here to rest.

There were four people sitting at the table to their left, presumably also from the martial arts, because all four of them each carried weapons with them:

One person leaned against the edge of the table with a large knife, one had an open axe diagonally stuck in his back belt, and the other two were both leaning against the table with a delicate long sword.

There are also a few merchants who seem to be passing by. There are people of all kinds of identities in this kind of place, and they are all passers-by on the other party's life road.

When the shopkeeper saw the three of them sitting down, he hurriedly trotted over and greeted him with a smile: "Three guest officers, please take a seat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ripped off the white towel on his shoulder and wiped the table, moving quickly and skillfully.

"May I ask what kind of tea do you want to drink?" After wiping the table, the shopkeeper immediately asked with a smile.

"Oh, what tea do you have?" Bai Yu asked in surprise.

He originally thought that it was already very good to be able to have a bowl of tea and rest here, but he didn't expect that there were a variety of teas to choose from in the small tea shed, so he was so surprised.

"There are Longjing, green tea, Pu'er, black tea, and ordinary tea, may I ask a few guests what kind of tea do you want?"

"Then let's have a pot of dragon wells. Shen Liu said to the shopkeeper.

"Okay, officer, wait a minute. Coming right away. The shopkeeper replied politely, and when he turned around, his crisp and high voice sounded: "A pot of good Longjing tea!"

Sure enough, it was not long before the shopkeeper came over with a teapot of cyan porcelain: "Guest officer, Longjing tea." Please use it slowly. Just as he was about to turn around, he was suddenly stopped.

"Shopkeeper, how far is it from Black Rock City?" Bai Yu called the shopkeeper.

"Blackstone City isn't far from here. Pass through the Black Wind Forest in front and walk a few kilometers northwest to reach it. But ......," the shopkeeper said, pointing to the woods in front of him.

"What's the matter? Why are you spitting, is there a ghost in that wood?" Ziyu couldn't help but ask.

"Hell, not really. It's just that there are often robbers who come out and rob the road. The shopkeeper didn't expect Ziyu to be so bold, and said with a smile on his face.

"Dare to grab the head of this heroine and ask them to look good. Hum. Ziyu grabbed the sword and said proudly.

The timid shopkeeper was startled, while Shen Liu and Bai Yu next to him smiled.

After drinking tea, resting for a while, paying for five copper plates for tea, the three of them walked in the direction of the Black Wind Forest......

Black Wind Forest, a forest of about a few hundred square meters. The large tree can be tall and black, and the shrubs below are overgrown with weeds.

The branches and leaves at the top of the tree are interspersed with each other, and the sunlight shines only a little mottled light. In the middle is a path about ten meters long and three meters wide, and only at noon does the light come in.

Although this forest is not large, it is the only way to enter Black Rock City from other places.

"I want to go over and stay to buy road money. "The person who spoke was not good-looking, and he was a thief.

"Such a beautiful little lady, why don't you catch it back and give it to the boss as the wife of the village!" The other person spoke in a weird manner, and his fingers gently stroked the slender mustache when he spoke, which was simply a natural underbeat.

"Haha...... I like it, brothers, remember not to hurt my little lady. A tall and rugged man with a big beard and a dozen people shouted excitedly.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" said the woman on the other side with a breezy face.

The woman was armed with a three-foot sword and wore an aqua-blue gown with a white sheer veil. A goose egg face is beautiful and vulgar, the skin is like a condensed fat gas like a quiet orchid, and the shoulders are slashed into a waist like a vegetarian.

Three thousand green silk draped over the waist, with only a small part of the middle tied with a blue ribbon, and two strands hung around the ears and on the chest.

Beneath the willow-like eyebrows are a pair of eyes as black as ink, with cold and indifferent eyes, which make people feel no joy, anger and sorrow.

At this time, three of the dozen people walked out and approached the woman with their fists.

When a person was about to reach out to grab it, the woman immediately grabbed the man's clothes and pulled them forward, kicking the soles of her feet at his ankles.

The other two rushed up at the same time, and the woman had a beautiful 360-degree spinning side kick in the air, and each of them took a kick in the palm and flew out.

"Boss, this mother-in-law is amazing. The man who had fallen and eaten got up, ran back into the crowd and said to the bearded man.

"Brothers, give it all to me. Catch it back and use it together, haha......" The big man in the center raised his arms and shouted.

At this moment, the woman clenched the sword in her hand tightly, her eyes were still as cold as ice, but her gaze was cold.

More than a dozen people on the opposite side rushed up, and their slender jade fingers, which were as bright as snow, slowly grasped the hilt of the sword. Although the sword was only three centimeters away from the sheath, he could already feel the sword aura.

Seeing that the dozen or so people were no more than two meters away from each holding weapons, the sword in the woman's hand was about to come out. Suddenly, a powerful energy struck them like a raging wave.

Among the dozen or so people, tall horses staggered back a few steps, but those who were thin fell directly to the ground.

Dust was rising on the ground, and leaves were falling slowly. The dozen or so people got up from the ground in a panic and looked at the white-robed man in front of them with a shocked expression.
