Jingzhou, a suburb of Shendu, Turtle Mountain.

Although Guishan is located on the outskirts of Shendu, the largest city in Jingzhou, few people care about it because of the dangerous terrain, the poisonous smoke and miasma, and the monsters are rampant.

On the shore of the lake on the mountainside of Guishan Mountain, a young girl in her twenties and eighteens wore a yellow coat and a white suit, with a silver kettle hanging from her waist and a short wooden sword on her back. The girl sat cross-legged facing the rising sun, her body full of yellow-brown energy, obviously the master who had opened the second vault.

And under the big tree not far from the girl, a man in women's clothes lay down, his eyes closed, and his breathing was steady and powerful. The man was mediocre-looking, the right side of his face was almost completely burned, and he was twenty-three or four years old.

This person is Zhao An, who fell from the sky last night. When escaping from the Ice Moon Cave, due to Gao Zhan's obstruction, Zhao An, Ling Lan, and Xiao Yezi separated, deviated from the track, and fell into this turtle mountain, where they were picked up by the yellow-shirted girl who traveled here three days later.

The girl in the yellow shirt opened her eyes, withdrew her external strength, breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked to the lake, scooped up a handful of lake water and splashed it on her face, washing away the fatigue caused by a night of cultivation.

After taking out a clean hand towel to wipe the water on her face, the girl in the yellow shirt could no longer suppress the joy in her heart, and shouted at the calm lake: "I, Qiu Qingling, have finally practiced the fourth layer of the Silent Autumn Sword Sutra! I am the head of the four swords of the Nanshan Sword Sect!"

Qiu Qingling's joyful voice echoed on the surface of the water, startling the still sleeping birds on the other side of the lake. Suddenly, countless birds of all colors flew out of the woods on the opposite bank, and the calm of the early morning of the lake was broken.

Just as Qiu Qingling was about to shout, a hoarse voice came from behind her.

"Ahem, ahem, water, I want water!"

"What?water?oh, oh, right away!" Qiu Qingling hurriedly took off the kettle hanging from his waist, lowered himself and poured a pot of water, and ran to Zhao An's side.

Qiu Qingling helped up the dazed Zhao An, picked up the kettle and fed him a sip of water. After drinking this sip of water, Zhao An's eyelids moved first, and after struggling, he opened his eyes with difficulty.

"You're awake. When I picked you up in the lake last night, I thought you were going to die? ”

Zhao An did not immediately answer Qiu Qingling's words, but observed the surroundings. Looking at the spring around him, Zhao Anxin said: I was still in the Ice Moon Cave Heaven before, why am I here now?

Qiu Qingling saw that Zhao An didn't reply to her, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhao An's eyes, and said, "This big brother, are you okay?"

"It's fine. Can this girl give me some more water to drink?" Zhao An was indeed dry at this time.

"Okay!"

When Qiu Qingling picked up the kettle and was about to feed Zhao An a few more mouthfuls of water, Zhao An opened his mouth and smiled: "No need, girl, I'll come by myself." ”

Zhao An wanted to raise his right hand to take Qiu Qingling's kettle, but he couldn't exert his strength no matter what. Zhao An realized that his body was so weak.

Seeing that Zhao An didn't take the kettle for a while, Qiu Qingling knew that Zhao An didn't have the strength to raise his hand. Qiu Qingling first chuckled, and then fed Zhao An a few mouthfuls of water.

After drinking the water, Zhao An blushed and said, "Let the girl bother." ”

Qiu Qingling took the kettle and put it on the ground, looked at Zhao An with a smile, and said, "It's okay, but I have a question for you." How did you end up here when Kameyama is so inaccessible? What the hell is the way to get and why are you so badly injured?"

Hearing these questions, Zhao An was shocked in his heart. I thought the girl in front of me was a silly white sweet, but I didn't expect it to be an old Jianghu. Zhao An just wanted to use his strength to strike first, but a strange ice flame force firmly locked Zhao An's strength, and he couldn't run it at all.

Before Zhao An could make up the reason, Qiu Qingling smiled and said, "Everyone has their own secrets, if you don't want to say it, forget it." Anyway, this girl doesn't really want to know! You rest here first, and I'll pick some fruit to satisfy my hunger. ”

After speaking, Qiu Qingling turned around and walked into the woods on the shore of the lake.

Seeing that Qiu Qingling didn't want to delve into it, Zhao An let out a long sigh: "If this woman asks, I don't know how to make up a reason to answer her." ”

Taking advantage of Qiu Qingling's departure, Zhao An closed his eyes and looked at himself with his contemplative thoughts, only to see that his own strength was firmly locked by a wisp of red and blue power, flowing at an extremely slow speed in his body.

If the guess is correct, the blue one should be the power of the Frost Sky Tree Fruit, but what the red one is, Zhao An doesn't know.

However, Zhao An could feel that this force was weakening, but the speed was very slow. And if this power is weakened by one point, one's own strength will be strengthened. In other words, after Zhao An recovers his cultivation, his strength will be even stronger than before.

After a while, Qiu Qingling came back and picked five unknown tree fruits. Qiu Qingling ate two by himself, and then fed Zhao An the rest with his own hands. You don't have to think about it to know that Zhao An finished eating with a red face.

"Since you're done eating, then you can rest first. I'm going to start practicing my sword. ”

Qiu Qingling walked to the edge of the lake and pulled out the wooden sword behind his back with his right hand. Qiu Qingling's arms and wrists moved together, the wooden sword flew up and down, the sword momentum was ethereal, and with her yellow-brown strength, the whole set of swordsmanship exuded the momentum of the extinction of all things in late autumn.

Watching Qiu Qingling dance the sword, Zhao An said in his heart: Amazing! I didn't expect this little girl to be such a powerful swordsman, and this swordsmanship is almost the same as Xueji.

However, Zhao An has the two major exercises of "Suppressing Evil Dao Sutra" and "Heart Sea Immeasurable Sutra", and naturally he also sees the shortcomings in Qiu Qingling's swordsmanship.

After Qiu Qingling finished dancing the sword and came over to rest, Zhao An opened his mouth and asked, "The girl's swordsmanship is so exquisite, she should be an elite disciple of the Ten Sects!"

"Don't call the girl, the girl has a name. Nanshan Sword Sect, Silent Autumn Sword, Qiu Qingling, what about you?"

He is really a disciple of the Ten Sects, no wonder he dares to practice alone in this deep mountain and old forest!

Zhao An replied with a smile: "So young, but the swordsmanship attainments are so high, it turns out that it is one of the four swords of the Nanshan Sword Sect.

In Xia Zhao ...... Zhao Kongming, a martial artist without a sect. ”

——————————

Seven days later.

At the foot of Turtle Mountain, the town of Yuanshan.

Toyama Town is the only town at the foot of Mt. Kameyama, and it can also be said to be the only way to enter the Shinto region from the north.

At the entrance of Yuanshan Town, Qiu Qingling pointed to the plaque of Yuanshan Town, and said to Zhao An: "Brother Zhao, this is Yuanshan Town, and walking south through the town is the Divine Capital." You're almost recovered, and you've been sent to this town, and it's time for me to continue my travels and be separated from you. ”

Standing in the bustling crowd, Zhao An hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Miss Qiu for taking care of you all the way these days, take care!"

"Take care!" With a fist salute, Qiu Qingling turned around and merged into the crowd and left.

And Zhao An also followed the people who entered the town and walked into Yuanshan Town together.
