Chapter 45: Hospitality
The two of them walked one after the other, walking in the endless desert, and Zheng Hao, who had persisted for two days and two nights, could no longer support it. After a few words, he fell into a deep sleep.
Without saying anything all the way, Yuwen Yan quietly followed the woman in black and kept walking forward. But he keenly found that it seemed that the other party was intentionally or unintentionally taking himself around in circles.
Looking at the other party's angry face, Yuwen closed his mouth with interest. Because of the previous slap, most of the rations stored in the stomach disappeared in an instant. At this time, he felt the hunger and quietly came to the door.
Boredom, Yu Wenxian took out the "Five Ghost Steps" from his arms, which was scorned by Zheng Hao. But what he didn't expect was that when he saw it, he was completely immersed in the mysterious content.
"Heaven and earth have spirits. Gu Youyun: There is more than enough to make up for the shortage. The shin is the extreme of man, and it is connected to the earth...... The so-called five ghosts are the ghosts and ghosts. If you can borrow the power of two ghosts, you can shrink the ground into inches and travel a hundred miles a day. If you gather the power of the five ghosts, you can go one step further and reach the end of the world. ”
Looking at the words on the book, Yu Wenxian's eyes lit up. With the boring itinerary, I began to practice.
The woman in black led the way while constantly observing Yu Wenxian with her peripheral vision. This kid who makes her hate so much is hateful. On the other hand, it also piqued her curiosity. When she received the master's order, she was still a little unimpressed. As the youngest ghost master in the ghost abyss, she has always been above the top. Not to mention facing a bed bug that can be easily pinched to death with one finger by yourself.
But out of helplessness, she still reluctantly obeyed the door master's order. Come and "escort" this kid in front of you. Who knows that this kid seems to be honest, but in fact he is extremely treacherous. I almost fell in touch with him. And the other party was bold and careful, pinched his weakness that he couldn't kill him, and made the most of his advantages.
At this time, the woman in black also had her own careful thoughts in her heart. Since he can't kill this kid, it doesn't mean that he can't die at the hands of others. If this kid dies on the path of trial, the master of the door can't say anything about himself.
Therefore, she intentionally or unintentionally, took Yuwen Xian around the long road. I hope to consume as much of the opponent's stamina as possible before reaching the next level.
At first, Yuwen Xian's action of reading a book while walking did not attract her attention. But, after a while, looking at Yuwen Xian's walking posture, it gradually became weird. The woman in black widened her eyes and stopped. Because she actually saw the power of "ghosts" in Yuwenyan's steps.
She snatched the book from Yu Wenxian's hand and asked with a serious face, "Who gave you this book?"
Yu Wenxian looked at the woman in black, and he was angry, but he dared not speak out. Because, before Zheng Hao fell asleep, he told him a thousand times not to provoke this female devil again. Otherwise, the two of them may really have to "sleep".
"I don't know, I was stuffed in my arms when I woke up, maybe it was given by your master. Yuwen said half-truthfully.
The woman in black suddenly smiled softly and said, "You trick me, the head rarely appears in front of outsiders, this must have been stolen by you." After speaking, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked directly at Yu Wenyan. I hope that from the other party's face, a trace of flaws can be seen. But Yu Wenxian is a well-known "dead mother" face, and he doesn't show any expression at all.
Yuwen said indifferently: "Then why don't you ask your master." Of course, I don't know exactly what it is...... The one on the left, or the one on the right. ”
After listening to Yu Wenyan's words, the woman in black suddenly had a trace of embarrassment on her face, and handed the book back to Yu Wenyan. He changed his tone and asked, "Little ghost, my name is Yu Yan." What's your name. ”
"My name is Zheng Hao, and I've met Miss Yu. Yuwen gave his hand to make a salute, and he did not lose his courtesy.
"Further on, the third trial site is coming. Let's go," Yu Yan said as she climbed over a hill and pointed to a grassland in the distance.
Yu Wenxian nodded, and continued to learn the style in the book against time.
For the "climbing relationship", this kind of inexplicable, unclear knowledge. People really haven't changed their attitude towards it since ancient times......
............
With a cup of tea, the two of them successfully came to the border of the grassland. looked at Yu Wenyan, who was still studying carefully. Yu Yan said softly: "Your next test is to find and assassinate the person in the painting within three days. ”
Yuwen Yan frowned when he heard this, closed the book, took the portrait and asked, "Why?"
Yu Yan's eyes flashed imperceptibly, and she said without changing her face: "The 'Hundred Ghost Palace' is originally a sect that makes a living from assassination, isn't it a matter of course to carry out tasks during trials?"
Yuwen Yan's heart sank, and he knew that he was speechless, but at this time, he had a feeling of wanting to cover up the explanation. He simply changed the subject and said, "Where is this?"
"This is the Turkic border. Yu Yan said
"But, if I'm not mistaken, the picture on this picture is a Han Chinese. Yu Wenxian looked at the portrait and hesitated.
"We take money from people and eliminate disasters for others, and we don't care about the rest. In three days' time, I will wait for you here, and then you will need to come to me with his head. After Yu Yan finished speaking, she didn't stay long, turned around and left. But halfway through, she suddenly stopped. Twisting the bee waist that was not in her hand, she raised her hand next to her ear to make a listening suit, and then said meaningfully: "Friendly reminder, if I heard correctly, the Turkic cavalry should be almost there......" After speaking, she gradually disappeared from Yu Wenxi's field of vision.
Yu Wenxian put away the portrait with a solemn face, stepped on the "five ghost steps" that were still a little rusty, and walked towards the depths of the grassland.
Shortly after he left, a vicious cavalry galloped past his previous position......
............
After leaving the scorching desert, Yu Wenxian suddenly found that his body trembled involuntarily. At this time, it is almost winter, and the minimum temperature on the grassland has dropped to freezing. Yu Wenxian, who was thinly dressed, was no longer able to resist the cold at this time. But in his heart, he wanted to wash away the blood stains on his body as soon as possible.
When he first entered the grassland, he didn't run around like a headless fly. Fearing to lose his way, he decided to follow the border of the steppe and look for a source of water.
As the ticking of time kept ringing, a day and a night passed in a blink of an eye. Yuwen shook the empty kettle, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought to himself: Without Zheng Hao, a little expert in survival in the wild, he is really a little powerless.
He gritted his teeth, dragged his hungry and cold body, and climbed another high slope. His eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
After the high slopes, it is no longer just an endless grassland. Looking at the changed scene, he was overjoyed. A meandering stream comes into view. What's even more exciting is that there are flocks of sheep gathered next to the stream.
In Yu Wenxi's heart, he suddenly felt that the suffering he had suffered before was no longer important. He was seventy miles a mile fast, without brakes, and ran all the way into the stream.
He frolicked excitedly in the water, opened his mouth wide, and let the stream water pour into his mouth, even if he was choked and coughed, he didn't know it.
At this time, Yu Wenxi's face showed an innocent smile that belonged to his age.
The sheep who were enjoying the "gift of the grassland" on the side were startled by this madman who came from nowhere. Panicked and scattered in all directions. But before he could run a few steps, he was driven back to the group by a pure white sheepdog.
The Great White Dog drove all the departed sheep back to the group, and then bared his teeth and barked at them a few times. It seems to warn them not to run around without permission.
Then, it walked vigilantly to the shore and looked at Yuwen Xian, who was cheering in the water, with the eyes of a fool.
Yu Wenxian had never been to the grassland, and he didn't know what the hell the big dog was doing in front of him. He first washed off the dirt that had tormented him for a long time. Then fill the kettle around your waist. Finally, he opened his mouth and took a mouthful of water before leaving the stream.
At this time, hungry, he is ready to carry out the next task: to fill his stomach. He directly ignored the big white dog, pulled out the treasure knife at his waist, and walked lightly towards the sheep.
The actions of this "madman" are in full view of the flock. Suddenly, there was a commotion again, and he slowly moved in the opposite direction of Yuwen Yan.
At this time, Yu Wenxian was swallowing saliva while looking for his goal among the fat sheep.
The big white dog on the side, as if facing a great enemy, first barked a few times at Yu Wenxian like a warning, and made a terrible "whine" sound. Watching Yu Wenxian still walk towards the sheep step by step. It howled loudly, then bared its fangs and ran towards Yu Wenxian to bite it.
At this time, Yuwen Xian didn't listen to anything outside the window, and only wanted to eat barbecue. He didn't notice the big white dog that was already aggressive and biting at him.
Yu Wenyan, who was concentrating, suddenly felt his wrist sink, and in a blink of an eye, his wrist had been bitten by the big white dog. And his own treasure knife has fallen to the ground uncontrollably.
Watching the big white dog bite himself, a low threatening sound came out of his nose from time to time. Yu Wenxian also panicked for a while. In the process of retreating, the soles of his feet were suddenly mixed with garlic, and he fell on all fours.
The big white dog saw Yuwen Yan fall to the ground, and he didn't intend to let him go. He let go of the other party's wrist, lunged forward with his front paws, and bit down hard at Yuwen Yan's neck. I plan to correct this sheep thief on the spot.
Just then, a sharp whistle was heard in the distance. The Great White Dog stopped all action in an instant. At this time, his teeth were already on the fast-beating arteries in Yuwen Yan's neck.
Feeling the cold coming from his neck, Yu Wenxian raised his hands high and tilted his head desperately, not daring to move at all.
The whistle sounded again, and the big white dog did not hesitate any longer, instantly changed his dog face, stuck out his tongue and ran into the distance.
It wasn't until the big white dog left that Yu Wenxian opened his eyes. With a long sigh of relief, he wiped the saliva from his neck and propped himself up.
I saw a big white dog in the distance, surrounded by a tall woman who kept being cute and cute. And the woman with two lumps of "plateau red" on her cheeks also smiled and played with it.
The woman walked up to Yu Wenxian and glanced at the long knife on the ground. said in a somewhat rusty Chinese: "This little brother, I'm really embarrassed, our family may think you are a sheep thief, so he attacked you, are you okay?" As she spoke, she held out her calloused hand.
Yu Wenxian swallowed the stream water in his mouth hard. Only then did he know that the sheep were raised by someone else. In an instant, the little face turned red, took the other party's hand and stood up, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the first time I came to the grassland, I thought these sheep were ownerless." So I ......."
"Hahaha, how do you say the sentence in the Central Plains...... He who does not know is not guilty. I look at the little brother, and he is also very hungry. Coming from afar, come, I'll treat my little brother to a full meal. The woman said heroically.
Yuwen Yan looked at the other party without the slightest dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he also warmly invited himself as a guest. couldn't help but turn redder on his little face, and at this time he couldn't wait to jump into the stream next to him and hide for a year and a half.
Seeing Yu Wenxian's expression, the woman patted him on the shoulder heroically, said a few words to Dabai, and led the sheep and Yuwen Xian towards the depths of the grassland......
