Chapter 3: Escape
The Kunlun Mountains are continuous, if you look at them with the naked eye, you can't see them all at once, and disciples above the Jindan can open up their own courtyards and caves after choosing the Heavenly Dao or the Humane Dao, so every mountain peak may be inhabited by Kunlun disciples who have been practicing in retreat for decades or even centuries. But for the disciples who have not yet reached Jindan, they still have to live with their senior brothers and sisters, that is, live in the main peak of Kunlun.
The main peak of Kunlun is towering and towering, from bottom to top, respectively, the mountain gate, ten cliffs and cliffs plank road, three dining buildings that can accommodate 800 people, the disciple pavilion where the disciple lives for the low, a pine and cypress, followed by the disciple practice ground and the main hall of Kunlun, here is almost the highest place, but at the highest place on the south side of the main peak, there is a stone platform that is like being split horizontally by a giant axe - Lingyun Terrace.
The boy jumped down from the Lingyun platform, and very cleverly did not choose the main path, and rolled all the way down from the woods, desperate to run out of the mountain quickly.
At first, she thought it was just a charlatan, she was an apprentice and drew yellow charms with her, spraying blood to scare people, but suddenly she jumped into the sky, no matter how she tore and beat without stopping, the little boy panted and trembled his hands and feet, like an agile roe deer running down the sloping woods.
She is now six gods and no master, and she is still worried about the third sister and the second brother, these two cowardly children will definitely be kicked out of the house in just three days, such a chaotic world, don't pay for your life, why is she greedy for temporary benefits and taken away by this monster. Moreover, in the story of the demons and monsters that the old man told her before, the gold and silver treasures given by the monsters and the houses where they lived would become toads and graves.
Also, how could someone suddenly appear in front of her and take her as a beggar, and as she asked for the sky, she really took out the rice of white flowers, which was more than the rice in the house of the governor of Liucheng Caoyun.
The child's dirty clothes of unknown color were even more invisible after being rolled in the woods, and the straw sandals were also thrown on the face of the monster, although there was a layer of calluses on the soles of his feet, but they were still bloodied by the stones and grass roots.
This must be the cave of this monster, she thought, it's all a trick, there are four men and women just now she didn't look carefully, but an old monster, three young monsters, yes, there is a woman among them, she just looked carefully, the woman went to see the old man who was kicked to the nose by her, and she showed her feet for a while - she didn't have feet at all, and floated over like smoke!
It was completely dark, the woods were pitch black, surrounded by thick old trees, she couldn't see the sky when she looked up, there wasn't even a bird's call, it was so quiet that only her wheezing sound, she ran a few steps to look back, but didn't hear any movement, so she continued to run down.
This forest seems to have no end, she has been running wildly for half an hour, the experience of escaping for her life since childhood makes her physical strength different from ordinary children, especially with two children who are unsteady in walking, her natural strength is great, and the years of escaping from the famine have forced her endurance to grow.
But even so, her steps slowed down, and she moved forward little by little, holding on to the trunk.
After staggering for a quarter of an hour, a light suddenly came from the woods ahead.
The tired and frightened child almost subconsciously ran forward, and the pain in her feet stimulated her steps to be a little bigger, closer and closer, almost a little.
Suddenly, the light was too dim, and the child's foot tripped over a withered vine, and he involuntarily fell forward.
Unfortunately, the front was not flat, it was a slope, and the rolling child couldn't stop at all, so he rolled down the slope.
For the Kunlun disciples who follow the steps step by step from morning to night every day, they are either drowsy in the vest vest of the Fengqing Cliff, or they are chased by strange beasts on the Thousand Blades Peak, or they are Kunlun disciples who watch the spiritual fire in front of the Dan furnace for more than ten hours, the happiest time of the day is when the twilight bell rings, as long as you run not too slowly, you can get a comfortable and comfortable evening.
Among the unwritten old rules left by Kunlun, there is one that you can't do homework after eating.
Of course, there are still some extremely hard-working disciples who rush back to continue their cultivation after ten years of rushing back after eating, but most of the disciples will cherish this relaxing time, and even many teachers and masters above Jindan who have a free and easy personality still like to come to the dining hall to eat and mingle with the disciples who are low-level in cultivation.
At this time, the noisy dining room had gradually quieted down, and the disciples began to talk and laugh and walk towards the disciple's pavilion.
Today is also a bit more lively, because the opening ceremony is approaching, several cultivators have returned to the mountain today, most of them have experienced a long years of cultivation and have gone down the mountain for more than ten years, and the low-level disciples who cultivate every day are naturally yearning for it.
Jin Yuxiao and Duan Zhiyan walked on the mountain road, one green and one white, surrounded by spiritual disciples in blue disciple uniforms, and even the sword cultivators in gray clothes were crowded outside.
For this reason, the sword cultivators in the back couldn't help but become impatient, and quarreled with the spiritual cultivators: "Senior brother, they are cultivating humanity, how many of you spiritual cultivators are cultivating humanity, what are you doing so eagerly?"
"Discussing cultivation with the master is first come, first served, and the cultivators are all unified, why can't we ask?"
Among the disciples who were chattering and arguing, the two men who looked like knights of the rivers and lakes were casual and continued to walk forward in the noise.
Corresponding to Duan Zhiyan here, Meng Pingying, who was walking behind, was extremely harmonious here, several Sister Dan disciples in green clothes hugged Meng Pingying's arm and asked questions, and the male disciples on the side, no matter which one they were, all followed shyly to the side.
Meng Pingying, who was wearing narrow-sleeved tunic pants, wore a ponytail and was dressed sassy and sharp, but her face was quite beautiful, her clear eyes seemed to reflect the mountains and rivers, and she had an excellent personality and answered all questions.
Duan Zhiyan was wearing a wearable white linen coat, a brown tunic and wristband, and a heavy sword that wiped the snow on his back, his steps were steady, but his eyebrows were not as free and easy as ordinary sword cultivation, but like a snowy peak glacier, like a bright moon in the mountains, more like a person who cultivates the way of heaven.
He walked in the front, and there were not as many disciples around him as there were two behind him, and Jin Yuxiao on his side was more popular.
He walked on the mountain road that he had walked countless times in his youth, and when he passed by the Hundred Array Forest, an unknown thing suddenly flew out of the mountain rocks around him, and rushed towards him.
At that moment, Duan Zhiyan wanted to draw the knife, but it was only for a moment, and before the disciples on the side could see the whole process clearly, Duan Zhiyan had an extra squeaky gray mouse in his hand.
Duan Zhiyan's arm was raised, no matter how much the child struggled, he didn't move, at this time, in front of everyone's eyes, a barefoot child dressed in tatters appeared in Duan Zhiyan's hand, this child's face was full of plaster, tied in a crooked bun with rags, and only a pair of eyes, as if they were glowing.
Duan Zhiyan looked at it, glanced at the child, then bent down and gently placed it on the ground.
Wait until a long time later to think about it, the first moment of Song Ya's heart shock in his life was the moment when he rushed into the light along the mountain rocks.
The woods were dark, and it hurt under my feet, like a time when I had escaped from the wilderness countless times before.
When he stepped into the air, his heart jerked to his throat and then fell hard.
Suddenly, the light pierced her eyes, her eyes couldn't open at all, and she vaguely felt that someone was holding her in the hazy tears, so the voice sounded before her consciousness, and when she was caught, she made a fuss, and the dirty children were like grass mustard on the side of the road, and most people threw them away when they heard the piercing cry, and then ran away quickly.
But the arm did not move, and she slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a long dragon of winding and boundless lights hidden in the boundless waves of trees, the peaks of the mountains hidden in the darkness, and the magnificent pavilions and temples seemed to be held in the air by this fire dragon.
She slowly turned her face to meet a pair of dark eyes.
She believed that there were immortals here.
Duan Zhiyan gently put her on the ground, her face and body were bruised, plus dirt, it was unbearable, she sat on the ground and looked up at him.
Duan Zhiyan's gaze had already left her, replaced by a bunch of chattering young men and women dressed in the same clothes.
"Kid, how did you rush out of the Hundred Formations Forest? Is it a strange beast? I haven't heard that there are strange beasts in the mountains recently, and there are signs of psychic?"
"Is the beast so stumbling, what is this dress?"
"Mortal," Duan Zhiyan spoke, everyone's eyes returned to his face, his face did not change, and he said lightly, "It is a famine year in the world, and such children are not uncommon. ”
At this time, Jin Yuxiao stepped forward, the surrounding disciples gave him a place, he squatted down directly, Xiao Tong's eyes shifted to him, his eyebrows and eyes smiled, his words were like a breeze, he and Xiao Tong looked at each other, "Why did you suddenly roll out of the Hundred Array Forest?"
The disciples on the side also muttered, "Yes, Elder Xu Ling only set up the formation again last month. How could a mortal boy rush out of it?"
"I have stayed on the Fengqing Cliff for ten years and have never dared to go in, and I have walked for ten years according to the stone road. ”
"The disciple who broke in by mistake before hasn't woken up until now, and is still lying on the Grass and Wood Peak. ”
The little boy stared straight into Jin Yuxiao's eyes, and although the latter usually seemed to be extremely easy to get along with, he also exerted great strength to appear more amiable at the moment.
The boy looked at him, looked around again, and finally continued to look at him.
Everyone involuntarily quieted down and waited for her to speak.
"Smack!"
Everyone barely saw how the kid did it, and her feet slammed into Jin Yuxiao's handsome face, and Jin Yuxiao was kicked back unprepared.
The boy scrambled to his feet like a gray rat weaving between the legs of the crowd, causing a flurry of exclamations and screams.
When Xiao Tong passed through Duan Zhiyan's side, Duan Zhiyan didn't even move his fingers, so Xiao Tong immediately rushed into Meng Pingying's group of people who didn't know the situation.
Many disciples didn't catch her, because they said that she was a mortal child, so they didn't even dare to use the magic weapon spirit sword, and even so, dozens of hands didn't touch the corner of this child's clothes.
At the moment when the child rushed out of the crowd, a spiritual power suddenly vibrated open, and for a while, everyone felt that it was difficult to breathe, and it was difficult to move their fingers.
The child slowly floated up, as if she had been grasped by an invisible hand, and she soon realized that she began to flutter and scream on all fours.
Duan Zhiyan turned around and bowed respectfully in the direction of the forest: "Lord Kunlun." ”
The poor cultivators couldn't turn their faces, so they could only listen to the movement with their ears pricked up.
"Ahhhh
"Get out of here!"
