Chapter 4 Crisis
"Bearded, let you look at the entrance of the cave, how can you fall asleep!"
Awakened by a yellow oriole-like voice in his ears, Chen Mingye opened his eyes and saw Cai Ling'er's little face, and he was looking at himself with a pouting and dissatisfaction at the moment.
He was also a little confused for a while, when he slept last night, it was too imprudent. If a wild beast comes to attack, it will not be a disaster?
The girl saw him staying there, and hurriedly urged: "Okay, bearded, don't be in a daze, it is estimated that grandpa has already sent someone out to find me at this time, let's go quickly!"
Then she looked up at the sky, looked in the direction of the rising sun, was silent for a moment, as if she understood something, stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction and said, "I've decided, let's just go that way." ”
Chen Mingye looked in the direction she was pointing...... There, it should be south, right?
Of course, he would not object, and he would stay in southern Xinjiang to send the letter out. It's not a big deal yet, but it's a must-do.
So the maiden was in front, and he followed, all the way south.
Southern Xinjiang is barren and sparsely populated, due to the treacherous terrain and natural miasma of poisonous insects. The 100,000 mountains are continuous and horizontal, the forests are deep and fierce, the beasts are hidden, the weeds are overgrown and the poisonous insects are hidden, and the only way to walk is to follow the trade road opened by the predecessors.
Chen Mingye followed the girl for most of the day, but he didn't meet a single figure, but there were three or two beasts raiding on the way, all of which were easily loosened by the girl's short blade, but it also solved the lack of food for the two.
Seeing that night was approaching, the girl muttered that she was going to find a place to stay and spend the night.
Chen Mingye's clothes were already tattered, but now he followed the girl through quickly for a long time, and was scratched a lot by the thorns along the way.
The girl saw his sloppy and exposed appearance, snorted lightly, and said, "It's not a shame to look like you, bearded." ”
Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders, life and death were still up to him, let alone clothes.
"Forget it, it's a big deal, if you meet a merchant, you can buy a dress to change by yourself, and if you can't meet you, you can make a rattan dress and grass skirt yourself. Cai Ling'er turned her eyes into the distance, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find the cave today, we have to spend the night in the wilderness." ”
After more than two years of trekking, I have long been accustomed to eating and sleeping.
Chen Mingye was just a little hesitant at the moment, whether he should do anything to this girl.
The girl chose a col, pulled out her short blade, and said, "Bearded, let's go and chop some firewood together." ”
Chen Mingye nodded, and was about to step forward, but suddenly he was vigilant in his heart, only to feel that the wind in his ears suddenly intensified, and he leaned back suddenly, dodging a sharp arrow that shot at him from nowhere.
The arrow grazed his ear and landed on the stone wall behind him, making a crisp jingle that brought out sparks.
Chen Mingye's pupils suddenly constricted, this arrow came fiercely and quickly, and the angle was extremely tricky, at first glance, it was the handiwork of a top-grade martial arts master.
Chen Mingye was born in the Hou Mansion, and he has always been pampered and pampered, and he has developed a problem of laziness. Chen Bai beat him several times before forcing him to learn martial arts for a few days.
Fortunately, he has outstanding talent and has entered the country quite quickly, and in just three years, he has broken through from the first grade of martial arts to the third grade, and the teacher of martial arts is also full of praise for him. It's just that three years ago, there was a sudden change, and he has been exiled all the way to this day, and he has never survived again.
To this day, he recalls Chen Bai's stern appearance towards him, and he can only sigh.
Chen Mingye himself is a martial arts cultivator of the third grade, but he knows that it is impossible for him to shoot this arrow, and the other party's cultivation is definitely above him, so he did not hesitate at the moment, and immediately ran towards Cai Ling'er.
Cai Ling'er had already tapped her toes, and her body rushed towards him like a butterfly.
"Which thief is sneaking attack!" the short blade was unsheathed, and Cai Ling'er shouted coquettishly in the direction of the arrow.
She was answered by another swift arrow.
"Hmph," Cai Ling'er snorted lightly, not retreating, but advancing, the short blade in her hand danced lightly, constantly blocking the sharp arrows that came one after another, and rushed towards the arrows.
Cai Ling'er was dexterous, blocking or dodging, and quickly narrowed the distance between herself and the other party.
At this moment, she connected her feet and gently swept a treetop, her eyes lit up and said, "I found you!"
At the end of the day, Chen Mingye only felt that his eyes were blooming, and he saw that the short blade that Cai Ling'er had been holding in his hand flew out like a ray of light.
"Ding!" was another metallic sound.
Cai Ling'er was surprised: "Huh?"
At the moment, I didn't see her hesitate, got up and castrated, and continued to rush forward.
Chen Mingye hesitated for a moment in his heart, not knowing whether he should take this opportunity to escape, feeling the aura that still existed in the dantian, he sighed, and finally followed.
Although he kept up, he didn't dare to get too close, so he had to stay far away. Why would the other party's first target be himself, he couldn't help but secretly think about the identity of the other party in his heart.
Cai Ling'er manipulated the subtle aura to withdraw the short blade and hold it in her hand, slashing towards the man in black who had been waiting for her arrival.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and you still haven't grown. The man in black raised his knife and reversed the momentum from the bottom up, once again blocking Cai Ling'er's attack.
Cai Ling'er looked puzzled: "Are you?"
"It seems that Miss Ling'er's memory is not very good, that's just right, I'll help you recall your memories!" After saying this, the man in black raised his knife and slashed straight down at Cai Ling'er, sinking with great force, like a thousand jun.
Cai Ling'er hurriedly dodged this knife, but her beautiful eyes were full of solemnity: "Five-grade martial arts master!"
"The vision is good, but you don't seem to have remembered this knife technique, so I can only continue to help you remember," the man in black sneered, "If I accidentally kill you, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
"It's really arrogant!" Cai Ling'er snorted a little angrily, condensed a little green mang in her hand, and then swung her short blade at the man in black, only to see that the green mang actually condensed into an arc like a substance, and came out of the short blade, and swept towards the man in black.
The man in black saw this scene, but he said unhurriedly: "I have long heard that Cai Ling'er, who is in the Aoki lineage, is talented and intelligent, and she is self-taught to be able to use aura. ”
With that, he put his hands together, clenched the long knife and slashed towards Qingmang.
Even though Chen Mingye was still far away, he was shocked by the loud sound of the collision, he hurriedly raised his eyes, but saw that the man in black was actually cutting off the green mang with a knife.
The force of the shock swept the man in black upside down, and Cai Ling'er spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Cai Ling'er looked at the man in black in a daze: "Spirit Slashing Knife! You are from the Baimu Clan!"
"Oh? I finally remembered, what a noble man forgets!" the man in black chuckled, and it was a coquettish female voice. She reached out and took off the hood on her head suddenly, revealing a delicate face, "My Miss Ling'er, can you recognize me now?"
"Are you...... The Yanluo of the Baimu Clan?" Cai Ling'er remembered the identity of the other party.
"It's me, although I don't know why you appeared in our Baimu Clan's realm, but it just saved me a lot of effort, so as not to bother to get rid of you in the future!"
"Our Six Clans Alliance is all in the same spirit, and we are all prosperous, why are you here to kill me?" Cai Ling'er was not lightly injured, and her face was a little pale.
"You really don't understand it in your own heart?" the woman in black who was called Yanluo sneered, "Do you remember the Kuroki Cloud Crown who was about to propose to you?"
"Kuroki Cloud Crown?" Cai Ling'er shook her head and chuckled, "So you're doing it for him?"
"Hmph, my Baimu and Heimu clans were originally world friends, I grew up with Brother Yunguan since I was a child, he should have married me!" Yan Luo's eyes were hateful, and the long knife in his hand pointed at Cai Ling'er, "It's you!
"Such an unobtrusive son, you still can't forget it. Cai Ling'er slowly lifted the short blade in her hand, her eyes were indifferent, "I will never marry him, what he thinks is nothing more than to encroach on my Aoki's power." ”
Yan Luojiao shouted, and raised her knife to attack Cai Ling'er again: "Today is a godsend, no matter how you justify, I will definitely kill you and get rid of the future troubles forever!"
"Then let's try it. Cai Ling'er's posture was light, and she quickly retreated, avoiding Yanluo's knife, and reflexively approached, and the short blade slashed towards Yanluo.
The two women fought together again for a while, and Chen Mingye stood on a treetop not far away, watching the confrontation between the two women, and was a little hesitant for a while.
Cai Ling'er was obviously at a disadvantage, the green mangs made of her spiritual power before were forcibly crushed by Yanluo, and she was obviously not lightly injured. At this moment, the whole person's posture is still not lacking in agility, but his expression is already tired.
Cai Ling'er waved the short blade in her hand, and there was a cyan aura hidden in it: "Yanluo, if you kill me today and are discovered, in order to avoid Aoki and Baimu from inevitably becoming evil, the Six Clans Alliance will be affected, and you will be dealt with seriously." You and I don't have a big enmity, so why don't you stop here and act as if nothing happened?"
"Xiao Ling'er, if this place is around your Aoki Cottage, I might stop when you say this," Yan Luoge blocked Cai Ling'er's short blade, looked at her with interesting eyes and said, "But you ran here, obviously you went out without permission, I am doing it here, I don't know it, why do you think I need to stop?"
"Hmph, I'm just playful, and the two uncles who have been protected by the patriarch will return here immediately. Cai Ling'er's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, but she looked calm.
"It's okay for you to coax that idiot," Yan Luo's mocking gaze swept over Chen Mingye's body not far away, "It's impossible to deceive me." ”
The corners of Chen Mingye's mouth turned up slightly, and he didn't care about Yanluo's ridicule.
"Whether it's coaxing you, you can try it!" Cai Ling'er's small face was calm, and the short blade in her hand took the initiative to attack Yanluo.
Yanluo covered her mouth and smiled: "This girl is asking for it, so let's try it." ”
Chen Mingye stood on the treetops and looked into the distance, his long narrow eyes narrowed into a slit. Then, there was an inaudible sigh.
"There's no way, let's try this method. ”
