Chapter 15: Three Falls

The middle-aged man who was described by the audience as Lan Yun learned that after the people from the original salary gate separated from him, they traveled for about two pillars of incense, and they were also marked along the way. At first, a few people walked all the way, but they didn't find any signal they left, so they all blindly went in a certain direction, instead of spinning in place. Just when a few people thought they were not far from being out of the predicament, they were attacked by several apes. The appearance of the ape was not a good warning, it seemed to appear out of thin air, and attacked several people. Because of its agile hand and night vision, the five of them can't take advantage of it, but they are not lightly injured. Just when everyone was desperate, suddenly there was a sound of rustling from the forest, and the apes stopped attacking when they heard the sound, and they became panicked one by one. Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a black ball coming towards them, just as they had seen before. A few apes that didn't have time to escape were instantly engulfed by the black shadow, and a moment later the black shadow swept past the ape's bones and disappeared, as if they had never appeared in the world. Several people were shocked and hurriedly turned around and ran away, but the young man surnamed Li ran slower because he injured his calf in the previous battle, and everyone watched him disappear into the sky and the earth by the black shadow. Then a few people ran all the way, and what happened later was already known to the middle-aged. The girl Xin Rong recalled that she saw a few black dots detached from the entire black shadow ball, looking like beetles, and everyone estimated that the entire black shadow was formed by thousands of such beetles gathered together.

The middle-aged man thought in his heart, no wonder this forest is so big, but it is as quiet as death, and he has not seen any living creatures, for fear that he will either be frightened by these insects and hide, or be eaten by them. No wonder the little beast in the sleeve just now was so anxious, just aware of the approach of these insects, fortunately he escaped quickly, otherwise I am afraid that there would not be even a scum left. Thinking of this, he unconsciously cursed the owner of his tomb in his heart. First suppressed the cultivation of all the people who entered, and then made some such terrible bugs, it was only less than a day after entering, and I didn't know what terrible dangers I encountered in front of me, and the owner of this tomb is probably a crazy old pervert.

The middle-aged man cursed in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and the little beast in his sleeve jumped to his chest at this moment, poked his head out, sniffed with his nose, and pointed in the direction of progress with his paws. Because the middle-aged led the way, he walked in the front, and the little beast himself didn't seem to want to be noticed by others, so he didn't make a sound, so everyone didn't find out about the existence of the little beast. Walking all the way, about two hours, at first the girl Xin Rong would be speechless to activate the depressing atmosphere, after all, in the dark, there are insects behind that do not know when they will appear again, and they don't know what kind of danger is hidden in front of them, and the surrounding scene has not changed, everyone's hearts are like being held tightly by an invisible big hand, and their breathing is a little difficult. Later, the people became more and more tired, and the girl became tired and stopped making a sound, except for the footsteps of five people and the sound of heavy breathing in the forest. Everyone was already exhausted, but no one offered to rest, and everyone was thinking about only one thing, to escape quickly. Although everyone is a martial artist, but a few people are not high in cultivation, can not use the vitality here, although the physical strength is better than ordinary people, but can not survive the tired, to the end, the five people are like five horses that have pulled the car for three days and three nights without rest, the pace is becoming heavier and slower.

After walking for about an hour, the sacred tree in front of him became a little sparse, and occasionally the moonlight was mottled on the ground like oozing droplets. When everyone finally saw the light beyond the torches, their hearts immediately perked up, as if the shadow shrouded in their hearts had been opened, and strength and hope poured in from the outside world.

"I see that we are not far from the exit, I don't know what danger we will encounter when we get out of the forest, why don't we repair here for a while, what does Mr. Lan think?" Qin Hu seemed to be aware that his two young ladies were already at the end of their crossbows, and finally spoke.

"Okay, let's take a break. The middle-aged man who was walking in front stopped, and he slowly sat down against a tree, adjusting his breath. Although he was a solid martial arts realm before he was injured, the experience of several days in a row also made him physically and mentally exhausted. The little beast seemed to sense the fatigue of the man in front of him, and slipped back into the man's sleeve and turned his heel around his arm, trying to please the latter.

The men at the paygate took out dry food and water from the packages they were carrying. The water bladder used to hold water is somewhat similar to mustard seeds, although it is small and has a large space inside, but it can only hold liquids such as alcohol, and although it is not as powerful as real mustard seeds, it is still expensive, but despite this, those warriors who have traveled all year round still flock to it. The middle-aged man also felt a little dry when he saw this, but his water and food were put in his mustard seeds, if he took it out in front of everyone, he was afraid that it would make a few people feel bad, so he had to watch a few people swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva to extinguish the fire in some smoking throats.

The few people at the paygate didn't seem to want to share their reserves with the "guide" and "life-saving benefactor" who they were groveling and flattering just now. In their opinion, it is enough to ask for others, as long as they move their mouths and put on a posture, and the other party does not put forward any conditions to them because of the other party's knowledge, they will not be grateful to each other from the bottom of their hearts. And when the role of the other party is lost, it is just a piece of chicken ribs that can be thrown away casually for them, everyone is for me, I am not for others, which is the principle they have always pursued. And this is not the most terrible, what is even more terrifying is that they are all villains who are promoted to fight for rice, and there are so many people like the people of the Salary Collector Gate in the world? They will always only feel that the people of the world owe themselves, that the world has failed them, and they will never reflect on what they have done for the people of the world and what they have done for the world. Middle-aged thinking that when the founding patriarch of the salary gate created the sect and named it "the salary", it should be to take the meaning of "everyone collects firewood and the flame is high" and "passing on the torch", the founding patriarch of the year should be a disciple of the Mo family who adheres to and loves learning and Taoism, the kind of pride that opens peace for the common people in the world, the kind of gathering a group of people who may not be high in cultivation, but have fraternity in their hearts, warm each other in the troubled times, work together to collect firewood and make fire, and warm the majesty of the world, what kind of romance should it be? But today's salary-picking gate, the first disciple is narrow-minded, the eldest daughter of the door owner is arrogant and high-minded, and the sect is enshrined in a trendy manner.

The middle-aged man was thinking about it, a skeleton was pointing fingers and scolding in the ancestral hall of the sect, and a group of old guys below bowed their heads to the ground, and the trembling scene felt funny, and he couldn't help laughing, which happened to startle the girl Xin Rong who came over. Xin Rong asked a little suspiciously: "Uncle Lan, are you okay? Could it be that you are tired and confused from walking, why are you smirking here alone?"

When the middle-aged man saw the visitor, the smile on his face was retracted, but he still looked gentle, he still had a good impression of this girl, which may be the only reason why he was willing to take a few people out of trouble.

Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't answer, the girl didn't ask more, and handed the water bladder and a piece of dried meat in her hand to the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Lan, I see that you don't have a bag, and you don't have a power background, let alone any mustard seeds, I have some water and food here, you can eat some first." After speaking, the girl lowered her head and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry Uncle Lan, we don't have many things with us, and we don't know how long we will stay in this tomb, and I don't know if we can find other food, so I can't give you too much, I'm sorry." With that, the girl stood up and ran away a little shyly. The middle-aged man held the water bladder and preserved meat in his hand, looked at the girl's back in a daze, and was still repeating the girl's last words in her mind, she felt guilty because she hid her own secrets, and she was ashamed that she left the materials that could save her life and didn't give herself too much. For the girl, or if she is in the position of a girl, she will regard herself as a good person who is extravagant to others, and if the luxury is too much, the person who is extravagant should be grateful to Dade, how can she dare to dislike the few things that are given away? That's why the girl will feel guilty, she only feels that for her life-saving benefactor, she still has to leave food and water because of selfishness, she feels guilty about the other party's spring grace, but she repays it with a drop of water. The middle-aged man looked at the back of the girl, which seemed to coincide with the back of the peasant girl who was pushing the cart and walking side by side with her sister under the moonlight the day before yesterday.

The young man surnamed Sun stood up, said that he was going to make it easier, and walked into the forest with his sword. After a long time, he never came out. Xin Fu was discussing with Qin Hu to ask the latter to go and find him, but it seemed that he had a grudge against the middle-aged man sitting not far away and did not dare to leave, so the two discussed in a low voice.

The middle-aged man vaguely heard the content of their conversation, but he didn't care about the villain's heart of the other party, and closed his eyes to recuperate. Suddenly, the little beast in his sleeve suddenly sensed something, and stopped playing, but stood upright, his ears pricked up, and then he scratched the man's arm with his claws. Although the middle-aged man felt a little inexplicable, he had seen the keen perception of the little beast along the way, although he was still confused, he didn't know what the little beast was guarding against, if it was those bugs, the little beast would have become restless, but the latter was only vigilant now, and seemed to be indicating that there was any danger coming at the man, or secretly vigilant and listening. Just when the man was listening attentively to the movements around him, he felt a cold light coming towards his back, which was the vigilance and perception of danger that the martial artist had practiced for many years, the middle-aged man slapped his palms on the ground, his body rose up, his feet kicked back, stepped on the trunk of the tree, and rushed forward with this force, and when he landed, he rolled over and stood up, looking behind him. At the moment when the man got up, a sharp sword stabbed out from behind the tree, although it stabbed into the air, but if the man had just sat in place, he had already passed through the long sword.

Sun Ju, whose face was gloomy, held a long sword in his hand, and the anger and regret on his face burned undisguisedly. He raised his sword again and stabbed it into the middle-aged man's heart.

"Senior Brother Sun, stop, what are you going to do. The girl Xin Rong was about to rush forward, but was grabbed by her sister, and the girl turned her head and stared at her sister angrily.

"Rong'er, we have offended this surnamed Lan again and again, presumably he has already held a grudge against us, and now Senior Brother Sun directly attacked him and killed him, although it is Senior Brother Sun's own will, but the surname Lan will inevitably think that it is our salary-picking door, and the only way at the moment is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. If this person lives, it is we who are dead. ”

"But, Uncle Lan still wants to take us out. Xin Rong's eyes were full of tears.

"Second Miss, what the eldest lady said is right, now that the two sides have torn their faces, this person can't stay. We are already close to the edge of the forest, and we can definitely get out of the forest if we walk towards the moonlight. Eldest Miss, you protect the second Miss, I will help Sun Ju, I am afraid that he is not the opponent surnamed Lan. With that, he pulled out the halberd on his waist and came towards the battle circle between the two.

The middle-aged man has been dodging the long sword, and because there is no blade, it is difficult to find a chance to fight back. The young man's long sword stabbed the middle-aged man's throat and chest like a poisonous snake, and the latter narrowly avoided it. The middle-aged man lowered his head to dodge a sword, and approached the young man to stretch out his right hand, and smashed the young man's left temple with a punch. The young man smiled coldly, stabbed back at the sword, and pointed directly at the right shoulder of the middle-aged attack, who knew that the middle-aged man did not dodge or dodge, and a sword actually pierced the middle-aged shoulder. The middle-aged man's momentum was still unabated, and he rushed towards the young man with his right shoulder against the sword body, and the moment the young man was stunned, the middle-aged fist smashed on the middle-aged Adam's apple, and the latter immediately vomited out a mouthful of blood and took two steps back. When he retreated, he didn't want to let go of the long sword, so he actually pulled the middle-aged man forward together, and two more heavy blows, landing on the young man's face and right brain temple. The young man's face was full of blood and his body was shaking, and the middle-aged man was about to make another punch, when a cold light struck from the left side, it was Qin Hu who had been killed. The middle-aged man showed a fierce face, and he actually used himself as the fulcrum, and his body was thrown to the left, and the sword on his right shoulder and Sun Ju, who was holding the sword, were thrown towards the halberd in the middle together. The middle-aged man was unable to retract, and the young man's right arm was cut off. The young man finally let go of his sword, covered the bleeding severance and fell to the ground wailing

With a fierce force in the middle just now, the wound pierced by the long sword was deeper, and the blood gushed outward. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and slowly moved the sword out of his shoulder, but threw it on the ground. At this time, Qin Hu also recovered from the shock of accidentally injuring his companion just now. He ignored the struggling youth who fell to the ground, and rushed to the middle-aged man who was seriously injured. I don't know if the middle-aged man was too injured and lost too much blood, his mind was no longer clear, or he was no longer able to resist, so he stood motionless in place, watching a cold blade stab into his chest. The children on the side, one of the excited palms clenched, his eyes showed expectation, and the other was frightened, and his eyes were dull.

With a "poof", the tip of the halberd stabbed in the middle-aged man's chest, stagnating, and then the middle-aged man slowly fell to the ground, and the halberd slipped from his hand and the middle-aged man's chest. It's just that the tip of the halberd has been broken, and clear tooth marks can be seen on it. There is a hole in the middle-aged heart, and there is blood oozing. And the middle-aged man standing in his left hand is still holding two cloud-shaped shuttles, which are the cloud-chasing shuttles of Yunyin Villa.

The middle-aged man knew that he was physically exhausted and could not fight hand-to-hand with the opponent, so he could only use his hole cards to chase Yun Suo. But because he can't use cloud qi, the power of chasing cloud shuttle is not as good as before, and middle-aged people can only wait for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to exchange injuries for lives and fight for a life. He had planned to hit the Cloud Chaser at the moment before the halberd pierced into his heart, so that he could be completely sure of killing with one blow. After entering the body of the warrior, the fire enters the nearest acupuncture point of the human body, destroying it, and then entering other acupuncture points along the meridians to disrupt the operation of the martial artist's vitality and destroy the connection between the small world in the body and the external heaven and earth. If you are a cultivator, you can block the destruction of the cloud-chasing shuttle in your body with your own vitality, and if you are an average cultivator, it is almost difficult to survive under the cloud-chasing shuttle. Because of the special material of the Yun Shuo, and the use of the method is the top secret of the Yun family, only the descendants of the Yun surname can cultivate. But chasing Yunsuo is still the most frightening existence in Yunyin Villa, except for a song of liver and intestines. But for a martial artist who has no vitality, the damage of the Cloud Chasing Shuttle is no different from that of an ordinary hidden weapon. Therefore, the middle-aged man here didn't want to use this thing, first, he didn't want to expose his identity, and second, he didn't want to kill chickens. But the only thing that surprised him was that the little beast in his arms actually bit it off at the moment when the tip of the halberd pierced his clothes, and the blood was oozing from the little beast's mouth. Although the middle-aged was confident that the blow would not hurt him, he still touched the little beast in his arms with some gratitude. The little beast also rubbed the man's chest with its furry head.

The man looked at the young man, and he put away the cloud chasing shuttle in his hand. Pick up the halberd that had fallen to the ground and walk towards the youth.

"Stop!", "Uncle Lan, don't!" The two girl's exclamations came at the same time. The middle-aged man's movements did not pause for a moment, and his halberd fell, directly inserted into the young man's face door, and then stirred twice. He pulled out his halberd again, walked to Qin Hu's corpse and squatted down, slid the latter's chest with the halberd blade, reached in and rubbed it for a while, took out a bloody cloud-shaped object, and wiped the blood stains on the corpse's clothes.

The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to the two silent women on the side, and he did not shy away from taking out the wound medicine from the mustard seed and pouring it on the hole in his right shoulder that was deep and bone-invisible. Wrap it in gauze again. may be due to the presence of a woman, and the middle-aged man has not changed his blood-stained robe. After everything was processed, the middle-aged man stood up and slowly walked towards the beautiful girl.

Seeing the middle-aged man coming, Xinfu pulled her sister behind her and confronted the middle-aged with a trembling, "What do you want to do?"

The middle-aged man ignored the woman, but looked at Xin Rong behind him, threw the cloud chasing shuttle in his hand to the girl and said, "If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can use this thing to go to Yunyin Villa for help." With that, he turned and walked away.

The girl looked at the shuttle in her hand and was stunned. "Chasing Yun Suo, he is from Yunyin Villa, but why didn't he say it before, and he was not with the team of Yunyin Villa. Sister Xinfu muttered to herself for a long time, as if she regretted her lack of eyes, and regretted that she and others had offended such a big man for the salary gate. And my sister still didn't say a word. What the middle-aged didn't know was that a few years later, the woman who was already a member of the Salary Picking Sect sect, when the sect was at stake, did not let people take this thing to Yunyin Mountain Villa for help, and when she learned the true owner of this Cloud Chasing Shuttle, there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions in her heart. What middle-aged people don't know is that when a girl becomes an old woman, when the black waterfall becomes gorgeous, and the old man who lingers on the sickbed still holds this cloud-chasing shuttle in his hand before he dies.

The exquisite dice press the red beans, and the acacia knows it. If the Chinese is green silk, Rong Xin is willing to sue Yunxin.
