Chapter 39: The Afterglow Before Sunset
Bai Heng hesitated: "Why don't you ...... You married Guo'er, so I won't be a legend, what do you think!"
When Guo'er heard this, she was overjoyed, but she was so ashamed that she covered her face and stole fun.
Tianchen looked at the two of them dementedly, this is too casual, how long has it been since I saw him, have you started talking about marriage? Has the mortal world been opened to this extent? Don't bully me into being a foreigner!
Tianchen smiled dryly: "It's not appropriate like this, don't be so polite when you meet for the first time, giving a gift is a surprise, give it away...... It's just frightening. β
Guo'er stopped drying, rubbed his eyes and pretended to cry: "People were naked in the cold pool at the time, and you were all seen when you fell, you ruined people's innocence and were not responsible, people don't live anymore, woo-"
Bai Heng rolled his eyes when he heard this, what did he tell him before, saying that he couldn't be seen, and asked me not to ruin her reputation, but in a blink of an eye, he overturned his previous words, and he didn't have such a thick skin.
Tianchen opened his mouth and stammered, wanting to cry without tears.
Girl, are you still in the mood to enjoy the scenery around you when you fall off a cliff? I obviously didn't see your body, but you said that I ruined your innocence, is this unfair?
Tianchen was powerless to argue, so he could only say as a scoundrel: "Otherwise, girl, you will come back from me and ruin my innocence, so that the two of us will be even?"
Guo'er's eyes lit up, this can be had! But after thinking about it, he shook his head proudly and said:
"There's no need for this, little brother, you married me, wouldn't you be able to look at it whatever I want! I'm smart, you can't fool me!"
Tianchen knelt down directly, he was actually molested by a little girl, Nima was so embarrassed!
Bai Heng was full of black lines, and shouted: "Enough!" Nima, two strange people, it's too unusual, openly flirting in front of him, making him an old man embarrassed.
"Boy, just say that you don't agree!" Bai Heng got straight to the point.
Looking at the old man's fierce expression that you dare to say no, you try it, Tianchen said weakly:
"But my assessment is not over yet, Uncle Bai, you see we have been chatting for several hours, and it will be too late if I don't leave. β
"You saw the hermitage of our grandfather and grandson, do you think I will let you go?" Bai Heng squinted at him.
"I promise I won't say it, my character is trustworthy!" Tianchen patted his chest and promised.
"If you worship me as a teacher, it is far more promising than your cultivation in the army. β
As he spoke, he pulled out a semicircle with his right hand backwards in a projection shape, and the surrounding space was condensed. Then he threw his arm forward, only to see a golden light that seemed to be real and illusory flashed, and the mountain wall in the distance made a loud noise, and the smoke and dust dispersed, and a deep pit the size of three zhang appeared.
"Think for yourself. The old man put his hands behind his back and said no more.
Tianchen's eyes flashed, this tickled his itch. He really wants to make himself strong as soon as possible, and learning from this old man is indeed a shortcut.
This Bai Heng is the strongest person he has ever seen in the world, and just now with Bai Heng's hand, he clearly felt the power of Gengjin.
You can mobilize the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth for your own use, and at least you have to be a Qi practitioner of the Yuan Qi Realm.
But I have a lot of other things to do, and I can't be trapped here. Besides, I hate being forced the most, and I have to get out of here no matter what.
"Uncle Bai, I still have my own business outside, and I can't stay with you all the time. Look at this, I'll go back and deal with my business first, and when it's done, I'll come back and learn Dayi's archery from you, what do you think?"
Bai Heng laughed and said, "Boy, I'll make a bet with you, if you can get out of this valley by yourself, then you can go back." If you can't get out, you can stay and worship me as I say!
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
"Talking counts?"
"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase!"
"Okay, Uncle Bai and Miss Guo'er, thank you two for saving your life, Tian has said goodbye, and there will be a period later!" After Tianchen finished speaking, for fear that Bai Heng would regret it, he ran out of his legs, and disappeared from the sight of the two in a blink of an eye.
Guo'er said coquettishly: "Grandpa, aren't you afraid that my little brother will run away?"
Bai Heng listened to her coquettishness, goosebumps fell to the ground, and he had to comfort:
"You don't have to worry, that kid can't run out of the valley, the valley mouth is the Five Elements Bagua Maze Array I set up, if I don't teach him, he will always be trapped in it and can't get out, and he will have to come back and beg me when the time comes!"
When the old man said this, he was admired by himself and laughed proudly.
"What if the little brother is lucky enough to go out?"
"Do you think that the Five Elements Bagua Maze Array is only as simple as I taught you? That is the easiest way to enter and exit for fear that you will not be able to learn it. The way of formation is the most unfathomable, and not everyone can learn it. The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
......
"Grandpa, it's been so long, why hasn't the little brother come back yet? Something must have happened, right? Guo'er worried.
Bai Heng was also a little worried, he finally met a good seedling, but nothing would happen.
"Let's go and have a look. β
After a long time......
"Grandpa-you big liar, your little brother is gone, he ran away, you return my little brother-"
At this time, Tianchen had already run out of the mysterious valley. He knew that since Bai Heng bet with him, it must be that the valley was not easy to go out, and he was still guessing what the problem would be?
As a result, when I went to Taniguchi, it turned out to be the formation of the Five Elements Bagua type. He pouted, walked into the formation without looking, walked around, and ran out in a short time.
This formation was just a toy when he was a child, and he was tired of playing with it for a long time. When he came out, he was still afraid that Bai Heng would regret arresting him back, so he changed the formation a little again, and at least for a while, people would not be able to come out.
It's past noon now, and at the speed at which he's hurting his body now, if he goes back the way he used to go, I'm afraid it's too late. I remember that Lin Zi said that there is a shortcut behind Qinghan Mountain, take a shortcut, and you can rush back before sunset.
Tianchen walked hobbly on the trail, not because he didn't want to be fast, but because he really didn't dare to be fast.
I ran too fast before, and the wound that had stopped bleeding began to bleed again. Looking at the wet blood on his hands, he was afraid that if he ran back, he was afraid that the blood would dry up halfway.
Fortunately, the old man Bai Heng had washed his marrow and cut his bones, and now his wound healing ability has been greatly improved, as long as the exercise is not strenuous and the wound is quickly condensed. It's just that in this way, his speed is much slower, and time is running out......
The sun had already begun to set, and there were about a thousand people who had now returned to the city gates. And looking into the distance from the city gate, there were not many people coming.
According to Tianchen's analysis, the key to winning this level is to rush at night, if you don't rush overnight, unless you are a master and your foot strength is amazing, it will definitely be too late to rush back to the city gate before sunset.
So what can be reached now has already arrived, and those who have not yet arrived have either given up or are still far away, after all, there is a night's journey missing, which is not something that ordinary people can make up.
Now the teenagers who have passed the test have gathered together to have a lively discussion.
They have heard that a lot of people died on the Qinghan Mountain last night, it is said that the Black Mountain thieves did it, they secretly mixed into the assessment crowd in order to assassinate a teenager, which made them afraid for a while, who knows if those murderous Black Mountain thieves have passed by themselves.
Fortunately, I heard that the boy had died with the black mountain thief and jumped off the cliff together.
This kind of topic is relatively heavy, and everyone quickly chatted about a strange anecdote.
It is said that last night many people saw the spectacle of a young man riding a big strange bird running the mountain road, and the big bird ran so fast.
Many people don't believe it, what kind of calf is it talking about, everyone is not a child anymore, what is the Arabian Nights! Some people who have seen it with their own eyes immediately become anxious, go up to argue with them, and for a while they argue endlessly, so it is not lively.
Not everyone is so happy, Tao Zhuo and Hua Xiaolou are in a heavy mood.
After Tao Zhuo went down the mountain, he ran to the valley to find the traces of Tianchen, and Hua Xiaolou and Xu Qingsheng also went with her. The terrain of the valley under the Qinghan Mountain is complicated, and the three of them have been looking for a long time to find no results.
Later, the soldiers of the Huya battalion stopped them and told them to return to the city first, and they were responsible for searching for the body. Tao Zhuo was reluctant to go, so he persuaded Xu Qingsheng and them to go back, after all, such a large area could not be searched in a while and a half.
Back at the city gate, Xu Qingsheng saw that the two were depressed, so he comforted:
"I don't see that Brother Chen is not like a person who died early, Ji people have their own natural appearance, maybe they didn't die. β
Hua Xiaolou said sadly: "The cliff is so high, how can Brother Chen be okay if he falls." I know Brother Xu, you are comforting me, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. β
"Maybe it's my delusion, I always feel that Brother Chen won't die so easily, it's really inexplicable confidence. Xu Qingsheng muttered.
The sun had sunk halfway, and the whole world had turned into a dim picture. There is no one in sight in the distance, and the curtain has come down on this first level. A non-commissioned officer rang the bell, and the more than a thousand people present fell silent and looked at him.
The non-commissioned officer said in a loud voice: "Now I announce that the first level assessment is over, and all those who have passed the level can participate in the second level assessment tomorrow, okay, now ......"
"Waitβ" A dehydrated voice came from a distance, interrupting the non-commissioned officer's words.
The non-commissioned officer was furious: "Who's talking? Stand up for me!"
He looked in the direction from which the voice came, and just in the last dazzling afterglow of the setting sun, he saw a frail young man with a pale face and covered in blood.
The young man pointed to the only remaining wisp of afterglow behind him, and said as he walked, "The first level is not over yet." β
"Now is the real end!"
The boy took the last step into the city gate, and the afterglow of the setting sun completely dissipated.
