Relying on the faint air currents that occasionally blew through the cave, the boy still didn't even see the shadow of the fog-swallowing beast until he found an open-air gap and struggled to crawl out from below, and secretly felt a little surprised.

A ray of sunlight fell on the young man's face, and he actually felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time, Zhou Jiujian took a deep breath, and it was a little like the illusion of another world.

In the distance, there was a crisp birdsong in the mountains and forests, no longer the piercing screams of bats, and the boy sat on the edge of the crevice, soaking up the sun.

Although he is shirtless now, and the coarse cloth clothes he originally wore have long been used to tie wounds, which looks quite indecent, it is unlikely that there are many people in this barren mountain and wilderness, and it is not a big problem for a while.

Looking around, I felt a little unfamiliar, and I didn't know if this place was still on the Ghost Hidden Peak.

At this time, although it is autumn, Qingyun Mountain is still green and green, like spring.

"I wonder how many days have it been since I entered the cave?" the boy muttered to himself.

When he entered the cave and even encountered bats, he could still be roughly sure, about half a day, but when he got to the back, he was forced by the group of damned bats to panic and finally ran to the dead end, so that he also used the bronze medal engraved with "Shocking Wind" given by the sword and armor, and summoned the Shocking Wind and Fire Beast to solve the crisis. I don't know if the bronze medal can be used again, and finally the boulder fell due to the shaking of the cave, and he also passed out completely with physical and mental exhaustion, and how long the coma period has passed, he really doesn't know, plus swallowing the fog bead later, I don't know how much time it spent, one day, two days, or three days or four days?

Calculating, since he went to Qingyun Mountain, it has been a few months, just sitting on the advanced swordsman, it took two months, and then he also went to the sword forest non-stop, not to mention how to cultivate, but only absorbed the sword qi in the sword forest for his own cultivation of "Taishang Raising Sword", and then entered the cave again, which was both thrilling and lucky to find the fog bead, and now it can be regarded as safe and sound.

Buffed by the fog beads, the meridians in his body have now widened several times, which is a great thing, it seems that he can choose to go into the Burial Sword Forest again, or, find a place with sufficient aura, such as the cliff of the Ghost Hidden Peak, and cultivate well.

The problem now is that the river is wide, but it is the turn of the river to be insufficient, so he must find a place to take care of it.

Moreover, it is time to cultivate and cultivate the "Getaway", as well as the hundred sword qi contained in the knots in the body, it is even more necessary to increase the heat and exercise well, hoping to raise the sword embryo as soon as possible.

Thinking about it this way, he found that there were still a lot of things to do, and for the future goal: to pull out the sword hidden in the deepest part of the burial sword forest, the young man felt a little urgent.

Around the cracks, the rocks are craggy, although it is not a single inch of grass, but there are few plants, and in the distance, the terrain is getting higher, and I can only see the trees, I don't know the whole picture in the mountains, the young man can only guess that there is probably the direction of the Ghost Hidden Peak.

But now there is no need to rush up the mountain, it would be best if you could find a mountain spring and stream to clean it well.

Zhou Jiujian glanced at his own Zhou up and down, and thought sincerely.

He stopped sitting idly at the moment, immediately stood up and walked towards the side of the mountain forest.

Walking in this deserted mountain, it is naturally unlikely that there will be artificially opened mountain roads, because the mountain roads are difficult, twists and turns, and it also takes more time.

The boy was not in a hurry at this time, just while walking, while watching the scenery along the way, although the flowers and trees along the way only felt repetitive and monotonous, no chic, in fact, there was no scenery to watch.

However, if you talk about the scenery, during the four years of walking experience of the young man, he has really seen many magnificent scenes in this Sword Continent. Not to mention the rolling Wujiang tide, in fact, although there is no scenery here, but the weather when overlooking Qingyun Peak is also a young man can't help but be excited, and once he has seen the sunrise in the east, the pond full of lotus flowers reflecting the golden purple wonder, there is also the broken bridge under the snow of thousands of miles of lakes and frost, and there is also a statue of the sword ancestor sitting in the north and facing south in the capital of a dynasty, etc...... There are many magnificent scenes in the world, either man-made or self-inflicted, all of which can't help but feel eye-opening and breathtaking.

As I walked, I vaguely heard the sound of water coming from a distance.

Zhou Jiujian stopped and listened carefully, this time he heard it clearly, it was really the sound of water, although it was a little far away, but the sound of the water was still clearly coming from the north.

Just right.

The boy followed the sound of the water and walked over there.

After walking for a distance, I heard the sound of water getting louder and louder, listening to this movement, it seems that it is not small, is it still a waterfall?

After walking a few hundred steps, I felt the humidity become heavier, and the sound of the water that was close at hand rumbled, and after tearing open a bush in front of me that blocked the way, the vision in front of me suddenly widened, and I saw a white horse falling from the sky in front of me, shining under the refraction of the sun.

Sure enough, it's a waterfall!

Zhou Jiujian stood not far from the foot of the waterfall, the water hit the smooth stone surface below and splashed countless droplets, and he also splashed all over his body, and before the waterfall, there was a pool of water that looked quite deep, a small river, flowing out of the mountain.

Ha, this is the perfect place to take a bath.

The young man immediately untied the remaining clothes and the sycamore wooden sword and put it aside, stabbed it violently, and jumped into the water. Anyway, there is no need to worry about being seen now, and the wounds on his body are not too much of a problem after the previous healing, thinking of this, the young man immediately surfaced, untied the strips of clothing and cloth that he used to bandage before, threw them on the shore, and then dived into the water with a happy face.

It seemed that only at this time could Zhou Jiujian really let go of all his burdens and swim carefree in the water like other teenagers of his age.

When he was a child, although he was disgusted by the people in the whole village, and he didn't have any playmates since he was a child, Zhou Jiujian still found a way to entertain himself, and there was also a waterhole on their back mountain, at that time, every time the boy followed his grandfather into the mountain, he always liked to go there to swim.

He was swimming, and his grandfather would watch him from the shore, and the wind would enter the mountains and forests, and it would be peaceful and peaceful.

But that time is gone.

Zhou Jiujian swam for a while, and after washing his whole body, he climbed ashore, but he was naked, and he was washing the clothes on his lower body, just enough to take advantage of the fact that the sun was now full, and it would be able to dry in a while.

After untying the linen belt that tied the wound, the wound left by the bat sneak attack on the back was naturally exposed, but it was only scarred, and it had not yet healed, and it looked extremely hideous and ugly. Even with the scars on his shoulders and calves, if people see it, they still think what he has experienced, and those who don't know may even think that he will be a military veteran, otherwise, how can he leave such a terrible scar.

The boy was washing his clothes naked at the foot of the waterfall, and suddenly there was a sound of "rustling" in the bushes behind him.

When Zhou Jiujian heard the movement, he immediately turned around, and he had already picked up the sycamore in his hand.

Behind me, an old man suddenly walked out, coarse linen, with a beard and white beard, and a big basket behind his back, and I don't know what was in it.

Zhou Jiujian saw it, and without thinking, he hurriedly jumped into the water with a "poof".

Then he popped up and looked at the old man, who was also watching him.

"Hey, which young man?" said the old man strangely.

"Well, the old man is good. Zhou Jiujian said with some embarrassment.

"Where are you from? Why have I never seen you? The old man said again.

Zhou Jiujian thought for a while and pointed to Qingyun Peak: "On the mountain." ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately got angry and said: "Look at your young age, how can you lie and deceive people? ! The fog on the mountain is so heavy, and there are beasts infested with it, and I can't go on the road, and even my old man will no longer dare to go up when he walks here, so how can there be people living on it, and if you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it!"

The young man was a little helpless, it seemed that this old man was an ordinary mountain man.

So he said, "Ha...... Haha, it was the old man's fault that it was broken. ”

It looks fake.

The old man approached the shore, squatted down with some difficulty, and looked at Zhou Jiujian: "Is the young man taking a bath?"

"Uh-huh. Zhou Jiujian responded.

The old man glanced at the wooden sword that Zhou Jiujian was still holding in his right hand, shook his head and said, "Look at you, how old you are, you are still playing with wooden swords in the bath." ”

The young man smiled bitterly, and said that this was his own sword, not a child's toy, and he must not understand it, so he had to say, "What is the old man doing when he enters the mountain?"

The old man said, "There is no firewood at home, so I will go to this mountain and cut some trees for firewood." ”

When Zhou Jiujian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then you hurry up, I'll wash for a while, and leave after washing!"

Actually, it's because his lower clothes are still on the shore, I didn't expect such an old man to suddenly appear, he is always embarrassed to be naked in front of others, right?

Even the old man didn't mind, but the young man was very ashamed!

The old man said: "Don't worry, it's rare to go out, and I also met a prey that looks quite delicious, my old man hasn't opened meat for dozens of days." ”

"Huh?" the boy was a little confused.

Suddenly, I couldn't understand what the old man said, what kind of prey, what kind of meat, what is this......

Hey, no, prey?

The boy suddenly became vigilant.

I saw the basket behind the old man and covered him head!
