Chapter 172: Traveling Westward with You
In the Central Plains to the northwest direction, there is a mountain river that stretches for thousands of miles, because the northwest is close to the Great West Country, you can see the scenery of the Great West, so it is called the Fanjing Mountain Range.
Although the Fanjing Mountains are undulating for thousands of miles, and have established themselves as one of the most extensive mountain ranges in a decisive manner, there are not many towering peaks in between.
Of course, because there are still spiritual veins in the Fanjing Mountain Range, there are also many sword sects standing on them, but even if the spiritual veins are not small, because the place is too big, after a few random meridians are distributed, they are not much bigger.
The most important thing is that the transportation in the mountains is inconvenient, even if the land is still fertile, there are few residents, and only a few hunters are scattered and temporarily live in it, and it is difficult for the Sword Sect to accommodate talents.
Therefore, the sword sect in it is basically not large, and it is rarely even heard of.
"Su Su, why didn't the Tianheng Sword Sect enter just now?"
A little girl asked a little tiredly while constantly stirring the pine needles that were slightly pressed with snow and frost with the dead branches in her hands.
Beside the little girl was a young man, who was still holding a little boy of four or five years old in his arms, wrapped in a white and smooth fur, and fell into a deep sleep in the man's arms.
The two of them walked in the mountains and forests covered with light snow, but they did not leave the slightest trace on the light snow, this scene would definitely feel incredible if others saw it.
After listening to the little girl's words, the man did not stop, and explained very naturally: "This mountain is the most lawless place in Dahua, not because there are few people here and there is no government to manage it, but because the sect is too dense, and no one can know any sect, and it is impossible to verify whether this sect is registered." ”
"But...... Isn't the world and the sword also a crooked demon in the cultivation world?" the little girl asked with some puzzlement.
The man glanced at the little girl, and still explained calmly: "The master has a favor with me, I just repay the favor, I never thought of joining the world and the sword, but the master is bent on going his own way." ”
"Isn't it all the same?"
"It's different, because my master's wish and I are the same as peace in the world, but I don't use this as an excuse to deceive the world and get the dedication of some so-called righteous dedicators. ”
"How?"
"The master's wish is peace in the world, and so do I, but in order to gain and retain more talents, the people below will always use the excuse of sacrificing for the peace of the world, killing fellow believers and mortals, and collecting money from civilians. ”
"It's like the first time I met the people of Sewa?"
At this, the little girl seemed a little indignant, and of course the man knew why the little girl was so angry.
More than a year ago, when he returned to his hometown, Xu Xiaoyun had to follow him out to play, but no one in his hometown knew that he had been rescued by the master of the world and the sword and recognized him as a teacher.
Who knew that the person was also cheap, and thought that Xu Xiaoyun was a mortal woman who had lost her way, and when she saw her beauty, she had a bad heart, and she wanted to do obscene things to her, but she couldn't help it, and killed her with a sword.
Mu Zisu shook his head a little helplessly, "People who practice the Tao pay attention to pure hearts and few desires, not ruthlessness, besides, didn't I kill them!"
", he said a lot of nasty things to me, and it would be cheaper to kill him. ”
Xu Xiaoyun snorted lightly, and then said: "I knew that I shouldn't have come out with you in the first place, and I wanted to see your master as your sister, but I was afraid that you would make your master unhappy, otherwise it would definitely be me who was unlucky." ”
Mu Zisu's tone was a little helpless: "At that time, I was so good at talking and persuading you to go back." ”
"I don't care, it's your fault anyway, you can't persuade me to ......"
Xu Xiaoyun was talking, Mu Zisu suddenly approached, gently covered her delicate little mouth, and motioned for her not to make any more sounds, and handed the child in his own arms to Xu Xiaoyun with his other hand.
Xu Xiaoyun naturally knew that now was not a good time to chat, so she hurriedly picked up the sleeping little boy and nodded lightly, indicating that she understood.
Mu Zisu easily opened the hand that was covering Xu Xiaoyun's small mouth, moved his hand behind him, and held the hilt of the mahogany sword behind him.
In just an instant, Mu Zisu changed from calm and easy-going to calm and cold, and the breath on his body was much colder than the cold wind and snow in the mountains.
Mu Zisu held the hilt of the sword and didn't move, because he didn't want to make a sound, even if the wooden sword rubbed against the wooden scabbard, he didn't want to make such a slight sound.
Making a sound means that there is a fight, and even if he kills his opponent in an instant, more people will find out about his tracks, so he prefers to hide like this and let the person who is looking for pass by.
In the end, it backfired, and a shadow flashed away in the dense cedar forest, and the two were not found.
At least on the surface, it was not.
Mu Zisu easily let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, reached out and plucked a small branch the size of a skewer, then squatted down and drew a few strange patterns on the light snow on the ground.
"What is this doing?"
Xu Xiaoyun asked cautiously and softly, as if she was afraid of waking up the child in her arms.
Mu Zisu sighed and explained with some regret: "Leave a back hand, I originally thought that they didn't come to the Fanjing Mountain Range so soon, but it seems that they are still very good at predicting the power of Yuan Qi. "Ivy
He escaped twice, the first time he took the source vein as a genus, turned the source of the vein into soil, and then supplemented it with the ground formation, barely escaped, and the second time he used the vitality of heaven and earth as a curtain, turned into a big sword, and fled to the Fanjing Mountain Range with the three of them.
And both times were to be supplemented by the formation to escape, although the operation of the formation and their own complementary, the vitality is abundant, but this requires a lot of physical strength, the source of the sea of vitality can slowly absorb the heaven and earth vitality supplement, physical strength can only be recovered through relatively calm rest.
The branches in his hands were constantly drawing strange patterns, and he continued to explain to Xu Xiaoyun: "They know that I won't use all my physical strength to go to the Imperial Formation, so they simply don't want to consume their vitality to chase me when I escape from the Imperial Formation, and they will slowly pursue it when I am exhausted." ”
Finally, after drawing for a while, Mu Zisu stood up, threw the branch in his hand into the grass next to him, and then gently wiped it with his foot to erase the pattern marks on the shallow snow.
"Although this small formation has little effect, most of the opponents are not in a high realm, this formation can keep our vitality here, and when someone triggers it, it will burst out after a while. ”
Mu Zisu smiled, took the little boy who was still sleeping from Xu Xiaoyun's arms, and then continued to walk towards the west without hurrying.
Xu Xiaoyun, who was robbed of the child in her arms, was not more dissatisfied, but looked at the formation on the ground that did not show any traces or breath at all, and then looked at the back of Mu Zisu, who had already moved forward, and her eyes couldn't help but shine with a strange gaze.
Originally, Xu Xiaoyun was still a little happy, but after thinking about it carefully, her mood became guilty again, and her heart was suddenly complicated.
"Xiao Yun, what are you doing?
Mu Zisu found that Xu Xiaoyun didn't keep up, so he looked back at Xu Xiaoyun and found that she was looking at herself in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Xu Xiaoyun heard Mu Zisu's voice, and her thoughts were pulled back, so she followed a little absentmindedly.
The two went all the way to the southwest, and the two of them had a surprisingly tacit understanding along the way, and neither of them spoke, and walked slowly in silence for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky was already a little yellow.
Mu Zisu saw that there was a small stone mountain towering in front of him, which just formed a cliff to block the wind and snow, and the cliff was even more recessed into a shallow cave, which was very suitable for resting, so he turned around and said to Xu Xiaoyun: "Let's rest and rest first!"
Xu Xiaoyun was a little absent-minded, and she didn't react immediately after listening to Mu Zisu's words, but was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Of course, Mu Zisu also noticed that Xu Xiaoyun was wrong, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"No, let's go to the cave in front of you and rest for a while! you should be tired after protecting the leaves with your vitality for so long, I'll go hunt for some food and come back." ”
Xu Xiaoyun heard Mu Zisu's soft greeting, her heart trembled, she waved her hand again and again, and said in a little panic.
Who knew that Mu Zisu handed the sleeping little boy in his arms to Xu Xiaoyun, and Xu Xiaoyun subconsciously took it.
Mu Zisu smiled, rubbed Xu Xiaoyun's hair with doting eyes, and said with a smile: "How can I let you go hunting? ”
Xu Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, her eyes were full of astonishment and happiness, and suddenly she lowered her head, broke away from Mu Zisu's hand in a little panic, and ran towards the cave with the little boy in her arms.
Mu Zisu felt a little inexplicable, and then looked at his hand that had just rubbed Xu Xiaoyun's hair, and couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far just now.
However, when he thought that Xu Xiaoyun often hugged himself when he ran away in the past, he was also relieved a lot, and he was thinking that Xu Xiaoyun should not blame himself.
So Mu Zisu went hunting in one direction at will.
Xu Xiaoyun, who was already petite, took the little boy and ran all the way to the cave, the cold wind was gone, but the heat on her face still made Xu Xiaoyun's heart beat.
Feeling the heat on her face that refused to fade for a long time, Xu Xiaoyun felt like smoke was about to burst out of her head.
"Sister Yun, where is Brother Su Su?"
Suddenly, there was a milky sound in my arms, with a tiredness like a baby who had just woken up, and I couldn't help but want to love it.
But Xu Xiaoyun didn't have any such mood, and Xu Xiaoyun, who was taken aback, almost didn't throw the child in her arms out.
However, Xu Xiaoyun still retracted the urge to throw the child out, but quickly put it on the ground, then turned around and said shyly: "That...... Your brother Susu went hunting and will be back soon. ”
"Sister Yun, what are you doing, why is it so hot, are you sick?"
The little boy walked barefoot and pulled a piece of white fur in one hand and walked in front of Xu Xiaoyun.
Xu Xiaoyun hurriedly took a few steps back, exhaled deeply several times, and forcibly suppressed the violently beating heartbeat before saying to the little boy: "Yezi, my sister ran too fast just now, that's why she is like this, don't worry, my sister won't get sick, let's wait, there will be meat to eat later!"
The little boy heard Xu Xiaoyun's words and knew that she was not sick, so he couldn't help but nod happily: "Mmmm! When Brother Su Su comes back, I want to eat meat." ”
Xu Xiaoyun exhaled in a thrilling breath and looked up at the sky, wanting to relieve the emotions in her heart, but at this moment, Xu Xiaoyun saw a bright star flickering.
No, it's not a star, it's a light, a light that comes straight to me.
