Due to the persistence of Moon in the Water and Mo Xingxing, young people like to work a little easier and simpler. Zhang Wangxi and Lu Zhengtong did not object, Nangong Xi did not say anything anymore, and the five of them moved forward according to the path of discussion.

As long as the terrain is slightly higher and there is a little slope of the terrain they don't walk. Therefore, the speed of the five people is not slow, and most of the grassland will be completed in more than an hour.

What was presented in front of him was no longer a grassland terrain, but it was still dominated by grass, and Mo Xing couldn't help but boast of his wisdom, and the ease of these few hours was the result of his correct choice.

Everyone is also giggling and just moving forward.

After another walk, the population became more sparse and inaccessible, and the footprints of livestock on the ground were no longer to be found.

The others were still giggling, but Nangong Xi, as the leader, was still very careful along the way, and he was also carefully observing the surrounding environment. He was muttering in his heart, and he was also thinking about whether to find another way.

But there was still a way to go, and he didn't let everyone stop.

After a little further on, the terrain became a long and narrow canyon.

The grass on the ground is getting deeper, the dead grass is getting thicker, but there are also more and more thorns. There is no place for the foot to park.

There is a turning point fifty or sixty meters ahead, and I don't know what the situation will be after the turn. People began to wonder if there was a way forward.

Nangong Xi stopped everyone first:

"We won't go deep for the time being, who will go to explore the road to see if there is a road ahead, without us it is convenient to change direction as soon as possible. ”

Mo Xingxing stood up and said:

"It's better for me and the moon in the water to go. You are waiting here. ”

"You're going to go, I didn't apply to go with you. ”

Unexpectedly, Shui Zhongyue did not agree to go with him, and he didn't raise his head in the crowd and refused his request.

Mo stood there happily for a moment, but he was embarrassed by the situation, that is, for a moment, and after two or three seconds, he said to the other two:

"You two, who is going with me? The water girl is tired, let her rest a little longer, can't you let me go alone?"

As he spoke, he looked at Nangong Xi with a pleading gaze.

Nangong Xi glanced at Zhang Wangxi and Lu Zhengtong. Before he could speak, Lu Zhengtong took the initiative to say:

"Master Nan, just me and him, you are waiting for good news here. ”

Nangong Xi didn't say anything, only nodded slightly.

The two of them were given the order to remove the deep grass and explore the way forward.

Nangong Xi and the two of them sat quietly and rested, waiting for the two to explore the situation.

If she had nothing to do, she asked by the way when the Carefree Sect began to put away female apprentices, how many people they have in the Carefree Sect now, and what their housekeeping skills are, whether there is a trick to kill people, etc.

Shui Zhongyue only told Nangong Xi that they had started accepting female apprentices more than thirty years ago, but the Xiaoyao faction was far away in the Tianshan Mountains, and there was no Tianshan faction as famous, so few people knew about their history of accepting female apprentices.

As for how many people are in the Loose Sect now, she said that this is a secret in the faction, and she doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Of course, the housekeeping skills of the Xiaoyao faction are the Xiaoyao Sword and the Xiaoyao Splitting Empty Palm, and the master has not taught the master to kill people, I don't know if there is one.

It was also inconvenient for Nangong Xi to ask other questions in depth, and the topic turned to other aspects.

For example, some taboos on the rivers and lakes, the special requirements of some big gangs, etc., are actually taught to Zhang Wangxi by Shui Zhongyue.

The three of them were still talking about some inconsequential topics, and Mo Xingxing and Lu Zhengtong came back. When I went, I was happy, but when I came, everyone hung their heads.

As soon as Nangong Xi saw the two of them, he knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, before the person arrived, Mo Xing said from afar:

"Team Leader Nan, it's over. I couldn't go ahead, there was no road, it was all half-human deep dead grass and clumps of thorns, not to mention people, even wild beasts couldn't cross, and I didn't see any animal tracks. ”

He gasped and walked over softly. Lu Zhengtong, who was walking behind him, added:

"We walked forward for more than 50 meters, and this canyon turned to the right, and then 200 meters ahead, there was a broken wall, and we continued this canyon, and there was no way out. It is not known if there is any danger in the canyon. ”

Nangong Xi listened to the reply of the two, and his heart became heavy. Can't go down this road, as long as the general direction is right, it can always work. The question is how to break through this deadlock.

He thought for a moment and looked around again. Seeing that there are hills all around, the slope is large and small, and I don't know which direction to take. But now it's up to him to make the decision, and he can't just spend it. If it continues to be consumed, as soon as it gets dark, there will be no one to live in this canyon, and people's hearts will be chaotic.

The moon in the water muttered quietly:

"What to do, what to do tonight, where to stay?"

"I'm afraid I'll rest on the grass for the night. ”

"There is deep grass that is soft and soft, and we can't go out, so we can try the taste of sleeping on dry grass. ”

Except for Zhang Wangxi, who didn't say anything, the other three were all talking in whispers.

Zhang Wangxi also looked at the master with blank eyes, waiting for the master to speak.

Nangong Xi looked around twice, closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, opened his eyes again, and said in a firm tone:

"We have to find the right direction first, anyway, there is one point, there is no mistake in the northwest direction, because we are not completely sure of the other directions, that is still a principle, just go in the northwest direction.

"The general direction is determined, and now there are two roads in front of us, this great northwest, you see. ”

Nangong Xi pointed to the left front with his left hand, "There are two hills, one here is lower, and this one is higher." Go a little lower for this, less effortless, but with a large directional deviation. I think it's better to go this way, although the slope is bigger, but the general direction is more correct. What do you think?"

In such a harsh environment, the others are all young people, no one has Nangong Xi's experience, he is the team leader, and he will naturally be responsible for this result if he makes a mistake. No one else can be the master of this, and if they make a mistake, they will get a lot of complaints.

Everyone was silent, in fact, they agreed with his opinion. Previously, there were smooth roads to choose from, but now the flat ones have been completely rejected.

"Since you don't have any opinions, without further ado, let's go now. ”

"You're resting, we haven't got any rest at all, let's rest for a while before we go?"

Mo Xing stood up lazily and complained as he walked. No one paid attention to him, and everyone began to move forward to the left.

Half an hour later, the five of them finally climbed the higher hill.

At a glance, there are hills within a radius of ten miles, and everyone gasps in their hearts, all of them are hills, which means that they have to open roads and build bridges in the mountains.

Nangong Xi was also a little discouraged, he still didn't care about the difficulties in front of him, but the young people under his command lost their energy as soon as they encountered difficulties, and this was the most difficult thing to do.

"Look, there's a path there. ”
