Chapter 12: Run!
Dark night, eerie forest.
Originally, these things brought He Zhi a sense of security, making him feel that he was hiding in such an environment, like a fish in the water.
However, since he felt Lin Yuqing's approach, the feeling that the night and the forest gave He Zhi had completely changed! He only felt as if there was danger everywhere in all directions. I don't know when, a deadly sword light will burst out, or even a terrifying beast or a huge bug.
In a panic, He Zhi soon made another fatal mistake. He was lost.
As a senior traveler, He Zhi still has a set of methods for identifying directions. When escaping from the Iron Forge, He Zhi recognized a very bright star in the sky, and used it as a reference to go all the way to the east.
However, He Zhi forgot that he was not living in the polluted 21st century, but in a pure natural cultivation world where there was no industry at all!
In this world, there are many bright stars in the sky. At first, when He Zhi's heart was calm, he could still distinguish which star he used to determine his position. But his heart was in turmoil, and he was immediately dazzled by the countless stars in the sky.
This naturally made He Zhi even more flustered. And the panic brought even more confusion to He Zhi, making it more and more difficult for He Zhi to find the star he originally identified in the sky.
At the same time, the worry about Lin Yuqing made He Zhi dare not stop, so he could only continue to move forward. After he had been running around in the woods for a quarter of an hour, He Zhi was completely disoriented.
And the reason why He Zhi was sure that he was disoriented was that he had seen the same ruined temple twice in a row—near this half-step slope, there were many land temples and other things built by rural villagers. It is said that there was a so-called "great benevolent man" who built an Arhat temple here and invited a monk to preside.
Of course, in such a barren mountain and wild place, people simply can't stay. Therefore, the Luohan temple did not last long before it was abandoned, and it became a legend of the gods and monsters in the mountains and forests who picked medicine and hunted households.
Therefore, He Zhi did not feel strange about the appearance of the broken temple. Although this dilapidated temple seemed to feel a little familiar to He Zhi, when he was fleeing, where did He Zhi have the time to think so much? On the contrary, because he saw the same dilapidated temple twice, He Zhi felt that he was lost, and it was likely that he had gone around in a circle in the forest!
"What the hell!" Thinking of the time he wasted, He Zhi was bleeding in his heart. He had to stop, desperately searching for his memories, trying to find the right way to escape with the help of the stars again.
But He Zhi had just stopped, and when he was still stunned at the starry sky, he suddenly heard a faint shout from an unknown distance in the forest: "He Lang, on the wedding night, why are you still so interested, come out to play and admire the moon? ”
When that voice came, it was still far away, but He Zhiwu was shocked, and he could hear that it was definitely Lin Yuqing's voice at once!
"! I'm really chasing after him!" He Zhi's scalp was numb, where did he dare to look up at the sky? Hurriedly fled in the opposite direction in a panic.
In fact, at this time, He Zhi knew in his heart that most of them would not be able to escape. But human nature is like this, even if you know it in your heart, but until the last moment, you still want to struggle.
He Zhi, who was getting more and more panicked, couldn't tell the direction at all. He wanted to get rid of Lin Yuqing, but Lin Yuqing's voice behind him was getting closer and closer.
If this voice is in the ears of people who don't understand, I am afraid that it will feel like a fairy sound, and just by the sound, you can imagine what a beautiful fairy beauty the owner of this voice will be. But it fell into He Zhi's ears, but it was a life talisman.
In just a moment, Lin Yuqing's voice changed from faint to clear and audible. He Zhi felt that the distance between the two was only a few hundred meters at most. This distance is nothing to Lin Yuqing. If Lin Yuqing was willing to be ruthless, he would be able to cut He Zhi with a single sword - He Zhi still remembered that in the morning, Lin Yuqing slashed a boulder with a flying sword, and there was a gap of about two or three hundred meters in the middle.
"Fight!" He Zhi gritted his teeth fiercely and decided to play with his life.
He Zhi had already discovered that not far from his right, there was a mountain cliff.
The cliff looks quite steep, and the height is at least tens of meters - don't look at dozens of meters It doesn't sound like much, but in other words, it's as high as a dozen stories!
Although He Zhi has profound internal skills, it is such an exaggeration that he has to jump more than a dozen floors at once, and He Zhi has no bottom in his heart! If he was not forced by Lin Yuqing to be anxious, He Zhi would never have considered such a difficult option as jumping off a cliff.
But now, He Zhi really has no choice.
As soon as I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes, jumping off the cliff seemed to be the same thing. Listening to the whirring wind in his ears, He Zhi desperately resisted the urge to scream, but he didn't make a sound at all.
Crackling, the trees in the barren mountains were overgrown, He Zhi jumped down, and he didn't know how many branches and vines he hung up. Finally, he fell to the bottom of the cliff with a bang, and He Zhi found that he was still alive, but his legs were impacted, and the pain was unbearable for a while, and he couldn't move.
"He Lang, is Yuqing so annoying to you? He Lang, would you rather jump off the cliff than look back at me?" On the cliff, Lin Yuqing's faint voice came again, making He Zhi is sweat with fright.
I don't know if she will jump off the cliff with her? No! She will definitely jump off the cliff! This cliff is not too high, I can jump down, that woman is a cultivator, can she jump down casually?
Frightened by Lin Yuqing, He Zhi even felt that the soreness in his legs seemed to have been alleviated a lot, so he quickly got up and limped forward again. But Lin Yuqing still followed He Zhi closely, and the shouting voice followed one after another, it was simply a female ghost urging her life.
And the most important thing is that He Zhi's internal strength and physical strength seem to have consumed too much in the process of jumping off the cliff just now, and he only ran for a while, but he felt dizzy and couldn't run.
"Damn, it's really over this time. He Zhi felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he gasped for breath.
He Zhi really can't run anymore, and he doesn't want to run anymore.
However, just when He Zhi was covering his legs that were a little trembling, and was about to accept his fate and let it be, he suddenly seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled, and then his eyes widened in amazement.
Less than thirty meters in front of He Zhi, a gate was open, the plaque was half-collapsed, and a ruined temple full of plants on the broken walls stood quietly among the trees.
