Chapter 108: The Crow and the Wolf
The two horsemen quickly went out of Qingyefang City, if they didn't slow down, they could get to the Jade Bottle Pass in half a day, behind the Jade Bottle Pass was the Snake Pan Mountain Range, and it would be difficult for foreigners to catch up with them when they entered the mountain range.
There are two roads from Qingyefang City to Yubei Pass: one is the official road, which passes through Binyang Town and then to Yubei Pass. Binyang Town was abducted by the Northern Barbarians last time, and now it has just recovered a little vitality; the other is to take the mountain road, between the Yubei Pass and Xiaoqingshan is the Daqing Mountains, the terrain is precipitous, and it is impossible to ride a horse. Therefore, if Wei Wuxian and the crow do not give up the horse under their crotch, then they will have to take the official road.
The black crow didn't know Wei Wuxian's plan, and now he could only blindly follow closely. However, he had a bad feeling that the road would not be peaceful. Sure enough, the two of them came out of the mountain road in Aobabo City, and just as they were about to enter the official road, the road ahead was blocked by a large number of trees, and people and horses were impassable.
Wei Wuxian pulled the reins and stopped to look into the distance, only to see that those barricades were not simple, they were still drenched with black oil, and a little spark could be burned into a piece, so it seemed that unless it was to control a flying sword or make a detour, it would be difficult to pass through this road.
The crow said, "Your people?"
"It's not time to play yet. Let's go to Daqing Mountain!" Wei Wuxian turned over and dismounted, and went directly into the forest on the side.
The black crow wanted to ask why he didn't just control the flying sword, but Wei Wuxian had already disappeared into the forest, so he had no choice but to dismount and follow.
Most of the trees had withered their leaves this season, but the thorny bush jungle was not very easy to walk, but Wei Wuxian seemed to be unusually familiar, and the path he chose rarely had shrubs, and even if there were, they had been flattened. The black crow noticed this, it seems that the seventh prince of the Yanwang Mansion was really prepared, and he was cowardly in his heart.
On the other side, the seven members of the Wang family arrived at the location where they had settled before, and more than 100 people came out of the dense forest in front of them, all with quivers hanging from their waists, holding bows and crossbows. A big man at the head ran over and pointed to the forest on the side and said, "They went in over there, and they didn't take the official road, so we didn't dare to act rashly." ”
The clansman of the Wang clan who came to power with a treasure said: "Everyone goes into the mountains with me to hunt, and the two little sheep can still run into the sky!"
One of the seven elders said: "Third brother, that person is by no means simple, the two Dao envoys said that he has hundreds of private soldiers, and this time he may follow, and his own strength is also extraordinary, not comparable to ordinary ninth-level cultivators in the Qi refining period." Besides, the tall and thin man next to the man doesn't look unusual, so let's be careful. ”
The third brother seemed to be a little in awe of the old man, and he was a little arrogant, and said, "What Brother Wang Fu said is that everyone should be careful. ”
A group of people followed the seven into the woods. Not long after they entered, two young Taoist priests appeared from not far away.
"Senior Brother Cheng, you still have far-reaching plans, we just need to follow the Wang family, this time even if that guy has arranged manpower in front, when they fight to the death, we will make another move, and we will definitely be able to capture it." ”
The handsome Taoist priest said proudly: "What Senior Brother Wu said is very true. ”
The two of them followed into the forest not far away, but they didn't know that there were more than ten people following behind, led by the loose cultivator who had three firebird materials.
In the Daqing Mountain, Wei Wuxian took the black crow around, and half an hour later came to a canyon.
The canyon was all yellow-brown gravel, the largest weighing 10,000 pounds, the smaller one the size of a fist, and the stream in the valley had dried up.
Wei Wuxian stopped and said, "Okay, that's it, those people in the back must not be long before they arrive, let's find a place to hide first." With that, he headed down the canyon.
The black crow looked around, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and he didn't know what trap this guy had arranged here, so he went down to the bottom of the valley and found that Wei Wuxian was moving a boulder out of the way.
There was a long and narrow hole behind the boulder, Wei Wuxian let the black crow go in first, and he repeatedly played a string of magic tricks with his outer hands, and immediately layers of mist began to condense above the canyon, which was very light at first, but it didn't take long for it to become thicker. With Wei Wuxian's current cultivation, coupled with the Dao foundation of 'Tianyi Heavy Water', the second grade of the water spirit technique is much stronger than it was back then.
Through the entrance of the cave, the crow saw that it was dark outside, and the wind was surging, and the top of the canyon was covered by thick dark clouds, and it was certain that a heavy rain was about to fall.
The rain fell from the sky for a quarter of an hour before it gradually weakened, and at this time the gravel in the canyon was flooded with rain, and it was almost at the mouth of the cave.
In addition to being horrified, the crow really didn't know what to use to describe it. He had investigated Wei Wuxian. In order to get the information fee, Wei Wuxian's previous experience in Qingyang Sect was well understood, and he knew that the other party was a famous spirit planter, and it was not strange that he would go first to cloud and rain, and he had also seen the spirit planter perform water spirit arts, but compared to the scene in front of him, it was really a world of difference, in a word: Wei Wuxian's spell was performed quickly and well, and the power was terrifying.
Wei Wuxian entered the cave, moved the stone back to its original position, took out the moonstone and said, "No matter how sensitive those guys' dog noses are, I'm afraid they won't be able to smell us now!"
The black crow pursed his lips, and said in his heart that you have a taste, but in this way, after the rain washed outside, the breath and traces left by the two were gone, and the people behind were really difficult to find them. Suddenly, he was stunned, the light was not good before, and he had not noticed it, but now he could clearly see that this hole was not a dead hole, and there was a narrow passage wide for one person going upward.
"Let's go!" Wei Wuxian led the way.
The crow is now finally convinced by the guy in front of him, what can he say about the preliminary preparations to do this!
But what surprised him even more was Wei Wuxian's subsequent words.
"How many of you are here this time?"
The black crow froze in place, and it took a long time before he said, "What are the people, what do you want to say?"
"Black crows don't come here from ancient battlefields far away for no reason. ”
"You know me?"
"Of course, I went to the ancient battlefield to scavenge for waste in the past, and if I didn't know about the famous black crows of the ancient battlefield, wouldn't it be very incompetent? ”
"By the way, is Xin Shiyin your real name?"
The corners of the crow's mouth twitched habitually a few times and said, "What." Isn't it a good name?"
"No, it's good, it won't be your father's surname Xin, your mother's surname Zhang, right?"
The crow looked at the person in front of him in astonishment: "How do you know?"
"Well, I guessed. Wei Wuxian laughed. Then he said: "The name Shiyin is too strange, if it is a real name, there must be some source, I really can't think of any origin of Shiyin, and finally I want to stack it together and try it." ”
The crow said, "I've always acted alone. ”
"Well, I know, when I say 'you', I mean you who are in the world. ”
The crow was once again speechless in shock.
"Most of the scattered cultivation world is the remnants of the monk wars of the past, and you have always been dissatisfied with the current order of the cultivation realm with the exercises and pills and magic weapons left by your ancestors, so you would rather practice alone than submit to the forces of today's major sects. At first, you still had some capital, but as time goes by, the resources in your hands are gradually depleted, so your life now must not be too easy!"
"There will be two Tsukidans in this auction, and it is also an opportunity for you, if you can successfully exchange it, it will be fine, and if you can't exchange it, you will have to grab it. You are an opportunist, you like to lick the residue of other people's food and wipe it clean, where there is killing, there will be you, you came from the ancient battlefield, naturally you smell blood. ”
The black crow's face was red and white, and he had the intention of stabbing the guy in front of him in the back from behind. It took a while before he said, "You're such a devil!"
He now roughly understood Wei Wuxian's plan, if he was an opportunist, a crow looking for carrion. Then the person in front of him is a cunning wolf. It is ferocious, alert, observant, attention to detail, and perseverance in dealing with its prey.
