Chapter 16, The West Wind Blows
A day passed suddenly, during this period, tens of thousands of wild beasts have been hunted, received by the king of Zhennan, carried to the altar to pray for the sky, tired into a 'beast altar', with blood incense, accompanied by bells, grains, and sacrifices to the sky.
The priest sent by the imperial court still sat cross-legged around the altar, closing his eyes and concentrating, continuing the ceremony under the auspices of the toast, and there was still a black crowd below. There is no shortage of young scholars or women.
However, many young children are galloping horses in the hunting grounds in the western suburbs, pulling bows and shooting arrows in the whistling west wind, showing their extraordinary skills. King Zhennan and many elders and sergeants camped on the outskirts of the hunting ground and waited.
At this time, a strong wind swept from the western mountain plain, whistling by, covering a large area of the hunting ground, and inexplicably, there seemed to be a monstrous fierce aura rising, permeating the hunting ground. cast an indescribable layer of emotion on the hearts of many teenagers in the field.
The elders such as the king of Zhennan were also shocked, and the light burst from their pupils, and many of them with advanced cultivation realms could perceive that the beasts in the Broken Blade Mountain smelled the breath of humans, and they were rioting, and began to walk out of the mountains and forests, heading towards the hunting grounds. A danger is coming.
"Lord Wang. Many people couldn't help but worry and asked the king of Zhennan.
"It's okay, this kind of hunting is interesting, and it can train them more, with my Nanyang City army here, they won't be injured, and let these young people go through some tests. At some point, the king will disperse the wolves. King Zhennan's expression was calm, and he had a detached bearing.
It is worthy of being a big man who fights on the battlefield and is accustomed to life and death.
Whew!
At this time, a whining sound sounded from the top of the mountain, the sound swept out, almost spread throughout most of the hunting grounds, and some teenagers found that from the Broken Blade Mountain, the blood-red pupils opened widely, bursting out with a cold light, and they saw a large number of black long-haired wolves running towards the hunting grounds, fierce and fierce.
"The wolves are coming. "The peripheral masters glanced thousands of miles away, and naturally felt that the number of wolves rushing towards them was extremely large, black and oppressive, all of them had blood-red eyes, blooming with bloodthirsty light.
This hunting ground in the western suburbs is backed by Broken Blade Mountain, and there are too many wild beasts and fierce birds, but I didn't expect this hunt to attract so many wolves. It's terrifying, no wonder the King of Zhennan will send 100,000 armor soldiers to guard Broken Blade Mountain, in addition to guarding the territory, he is also suppressing these beasts.
At this time, Mu Li and the three of them rode horses and Mo Xiaoyao rode a little donkey slowly through a mountain plain, only to feel that the earth was shaking violently, and a monstrous fierce aura suddenly rose, and they only felt that they were stared at by countless pairs of fierce eyes.
Not only the four of them, but the rest of them all felt this sudden change, as if facing a great enemy, and began to gather together one by one, reviewing the four fields and investigating the situation.
The west wind howled and swept with a surging ferocity.
Mo Xiaoyao's little donkey was the most keen, and began to neigh, its hooves swirling in place, looking restless, and even an abnormal aura rose from its body, extremely peculiar, containing powerful energy, so that the surrounding flowers and plants were withering.
It's demonic!
The little donkey senses the approach of the enemy and warns him.
"It seems that you should be careful, the little donkey of the junior brother is restless. Li Yinian looked at the little donkey's unusual restlessness and spoke lightly, his expression was not panicked, and his face was calm. The demeanor of the prince of Zhennan is fully displayed, and there is a feeling of admiration just by looking at it
"That's a pack of wolves!" Mo Xiao looked at the hills below Broken Blade Mountain near the hunting grounds, only to see that there was smoke and dust, earth and wood were flying, and hungry wolves were galloping over, their eyes bloodthirsty, and they had primitive wildness.
Woowoo woo –
The sound grew louder and denser, and was already spreading in the hunting grounds, causing the men to grasp their bows and arrows and prepare to meet the enemy.
An uncountable pack of wolves attacked, and the momentum was huge and terrifying under the fierce west wind.
"This is a good opportunity, the four of us are just competing in the level of hunting. Mo Xiaoyao's eyes were full of fighting intent, and he rode away, took a bow and arrows, and faced the direction of the wolves.
"This guy. Li Yinian shook his head and smiled, and then asked, "How about Brother Mu's competition?" He picked up the treasure bow made of fine iron in his hand, and looked ahead, as calm and indifferent as ever.
It was as if nothing in this world could affect his mind.
"Good. ”
Mu Li responded loudly, but also without fear, it is normal for martial arts to be difficult and dangerous, and it is far from the scholars, and they will bleed or even die at every turn, but how can our monks be afraid, and they should be the enemies of the Quartet with their swords. The chase avenue is flawless.
What's more, the Mahayana monks of the Wheel of Life Realm have the power of a hundred elephants under the full blow, how can they be afraid of wild wolves, even if they are huge, as long as they are not fierce beasts, they are mortal things, and it is difficult to compare with the cultivators.
"Okay, there's a wolf head over there. Li Yinian was arrogant, rode his horse and howled the west wind, and ran in a different direction from Mo Xiaoyao.
Immediately, Mu Li and Mu Qingzhou also separated, and ran in two directions, facing the wolves.
In about half an hour, the wolves were already approaching, flying over, and their huge claws tore at the young men on horseback, full of ferocity. These beasts are not like demon beasts, they lack intelligence, and when they see humans, they have bloodthirsty thoughts, regardless of whether they can be defeated or not.
Woooo
Ten thousand arrows rushed into the distance, blessed with the monk's true qi, full of power, enough to shoot through the mountain rocks, as long as they shot at the wild wolf, it pierced it, spilled blood in the air, rolled to the ground, and whimpered.
Mu Li is also skilled, he tried his best to draw the carved bow, look northwest, shoot a pack of wolves, an arrow can shoot down the galloping wolves one by one, the signs are extremely accurate. In a very short period of time, he had already shot five or six wild wolves.
However, there were so many of them that it was like an anthill out of a hole, almost endless, with no end. The wolves roared, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and even roared the stratus clouds, causing the vitality of the heavens and the earth to flow backwards and disappear with the wind.
All of a sudden, the entire hunting ground was in extreme chaos, with scattered figures and some in a circle, all of whom were shooting and attacking wolves in concert. The sound of horses' hooves was everywhere, the dust was flying, and the arrows were flying all over the sky.
Shepherd drives his horse forward, hunting on the one hand, and exhaling vitality on the other side to maintain the physical strength of a long battle. In the middle of nowhere, he found that on the mountain plain on the left, a group of wolves were rushing and attacking a girl in Tsing Yi. It's like tearing her apart.
It's time for heroes to save beauty. Mu Li thought so, rode away, and drew his longbow again. I only heard a roar, and the wolf who had been killing the girl was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. The blood-red eyes were still wide open, the fangs were exposed, and there was a dead look.
Mu Li broke through a siege and approached, and found that this girl was Qing He, and her stunning face was still so conspicuous, but when she encountered a group of wolves, her breath floated for a while, and there were beads of sweat rolling down her flawless forehead, obviously she had used a lot of strength.
"Miss Qinghe. ”
Mu Lilang smiled and spoke, slightly surprised, he walked over, only to see that the girl's big eyes were also staring at him, some surprised, but also a little strange, thinking in his heart that he was embarrassed to be seen by this guy.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, tilting her head slightly, looking obliquely, holding a cyan bow in her hand, with Luan beast patterns carved on it, and each arrow seemed to be a sword qi, cold and blazing with mana.
Mu Li didn't need to think about it, this was the sword she used of course, it seemed to be called the Qingluan Sword, which had changed its umbrella shape when she was in Baiyun City that day, and now it had turned into a treasure bow, unpredictable, and it seemed to be an extremely extraordinary magic weapon.
"Didn't you come to help when you were besieged by wolves? Mu Li responded, quite a feeling of complaint, as if to say that you don't know the hearts of good people.
"What can a Life Wheel Realm cultivator do, there are too many wolves in this pack, and I am not afraid to tear you apart. Qinghe glanced at it, pretending to be angry. The two got acquainted a lot after the clouds set and got together that day.
It can be said that this guy was the first person she knew in the mortal dynasty, and that Mo Xiaoyao, but she never saw her again, and she was not as familiar as him.
"What's wrong with the Wheel of Life Realm, this son still shoots a pack of wolves under the horse a hundred paces away. And sooner or later, I will go to the Diyuan Realm" Mu Li responded unconvinced, he looked at Qing He, and said abruptly: "You girl, a girl from someone's family, has no manners for a day." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qing He was stunned, this guy actually said that she had no manners! But why do you people in the world need so many rules in the Hidden World Immortal Gate! But she was still very dissatisfied, her eyes suddenly became cold, and she looked at Mu Li. didn't speak, and the young man who watched it was stunned and realized that his words were inappropriate.
At this time, a cold light burst out in Qinghe's eyes, she took a bow and arrows, and pointed at Mu Li, which scared him very much, and hurriedly exclaimed: "It's not like this in a word." ”
At this moment, an arrow shot through the wind, infinitely dilated in Mu Li's pupils, and then shot past his ear, shooting at the big black wolf that attacked and killed him behind him.
Mu Li turned around and saw that he was relieved, and then looked at Qing He again, and found that she had put down her bow and arrows, her eyes were fixed on Mu Li, looking at the young man's startled appearance, and there was a smile floating in her eyes. I secretly sighed in my heart, this guy looks like this, it's funny.
"Are you going to scare Ben Gongzi to death? Mu Li gasped for breath, the arrow just now, the speed was unusually unexpected, and it was only a fist away from his head, and there was little deviation, so he was going to take this precious old life.
"My son has a bright future, you are so rude. Mu Li did not thank him, but blamed the girl, pretending to be a gentleman, and reprimanded him to save his face.
However, Qing He's mind is so keen, how can he not know this guy's thoughts, he just shook his head slightly, and said, "You are so boring." Then he rode away from the wolves and headed out into the woods, intending to hide and regain his strength.
"Wait for me. Mu Li knew that it was boring to ask for himself, so he drove his horse to chase after him, at this time there were too many wolves approaching, and he really couldn't cope with it alone, not to mention that he also wanted to stay with Qinghe for a while, she found that although this girl was a little as playful as Chu Chu, but she didn't want Chu Chu to be as simple and ordinary, but it was very profound, which made him very interested, and walking with beauty was also an interesting thing.
Ancient books record that countless scholars, especially those with high achievements, went to the court, faced the holy officials, and had many confidants on the way to study, reciting poems and scriptures.
So far, Mu Li has only been discussing scriptures with Chu Chu for a day when he was studying in Yizhou City. This trip to southern Xinjiang met Qinghe, which is also fate.
