Volume 1 The Beginning of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 8

Zhou Ziren didn't dare to startle the snake, so he quietly moved to Xiao Yu's side. Just as he was about to wake her up, Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, which was unexpected, and Ziren jumped up. Xiao Yu hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, and the slender index finger of his other hand had already moved to his lips: "Shhhh

The wind coming from the fog grew stronger, and the creatures in the fog began to manifest. Xiao Yu saw that the mass in the fog was unusually large, so he slowly pulled the sword out of the scabbard and held it straight in front of his chest. Although Ziren didn't know how to use a sword, seeing that Xiao Yu had started a formation, how could he fall behind?

Tight, a few black spots suddenly rushed out of the fog, and before Ziren could see what it was, the thing rushed behind the two of them and melted into the night, leaving only Zhou Xiao and the two looking at each other.

But they didn't stop, and Ziren saw that there seemed to be movement behind him, so he patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and pointed. As soon as Xiao Yugang turned his head, there was a warning sound behind him, but this time it was not the flapping of wings, but Mr. Xu: "Yu'er Zhou Gongzi, be careful behind you!" The two looked back together, only to see a large black cloud pressing towards them.

Before the last rays of light were obscured by the black clouds, Ziren finally saw their true face: bats, and unlike ordinary bats, they were smaller than ordinary bats but extremely agile. Ziren waved the sword in his hand vigorously, not only did not knock down any of them, but he broke his face, and his clothes were torn out by the bat. Ziren swung his sword hard, trying to get rid of the entangled bat, while thinking: It seems that this sword may not be able to help, and if you want to break the siege, you can only rely on your own housekeeping skills!

Ziren stuck the sword in his hand on the ground, ignoring the bite of those bats, sat cross-legged on the ground, clenched his fists, and then crossed his hands in front of him, and began to silently recite the five-character mental method of the Zhou family in his heart: quiet, fixed, root, swimming, and empty! After a few times, the small stones around Ziren began to roll, and blue runes suddenly appeared on the ground, like a dragon going out to sea; Seeing this, Ziren slowly pulled his crossed arms to both sides until his fists were stacked, and those runes gradually expanded outward with the movement of Ziren's arms, pushing out the bats around Ziren; Ziren saw that the time was almost up, so he suddenly stretched out the ten fingers of his fist, and threw his arms downward, and the runes flew towards the bats with horizontal and vertical edges and blades.

Soon the bats landed on the ground one by one, some of them fluttering twice, but most of them were dying.

Ziren saw that he had withdrawn, so he picked up his sword and went to help Xiao Yu. As he approached another group of bats, he felt a breeze coming from the center of the bat, and then he saw the black-winged iron wall that wrapped Xiao Yu crack open - the bats were scattered by the wave of air. Ziren watched while using his sword to push away the bats flying towards him, only to see Xiao Yuzhu's lips pursed slightly, his eyes were cold and light, his left hand was compared to the sword fingers, and his right hand raised the sword high above his head, and then he danced the sword twice in a vertical and horizontal way, and the sword qi flew out like a volley blade, and this time the rest of the bats also landed, and Ziren was almost overturned by the sword qi.

When the two met, Xiao Yu was relieved to see that Ziren had only suffered a few skin injuries and said, "Why are there so many crows all of a sudden?"

Ziren thought that his ears were deafened by the sword qi that had just rushed to his face, so he asked, "What are a lot?"

Xiao Yu howled into Ziren's ear: "Crow!"

The shrill sound made Ziren's eardrums tingle a little, and Ziren rubbed his ears and said, "But what I saw is a bat! How can it be a crow? It is so close, and it has been bitten several times, a blind person should know that it is a bat!"

Xiao Yu refused to change his words, and said that he almost scratched the crow's claws, so he was a crow!

Ziren looked at Xiao Yu with an unconvinced face, and muttered in her heart: Last time, she saw the vine as a snake, and this time she was wrong to see it so closely, really!

Xiao Yu didn't want to admit that he was wrong, so he dragged Ziren's chin with his hand and looked carefully at the wound on Ziren's face. As soon as Ziren thought about whether men and women would kiss or not, he wanted to push Xiao Yu away, but Xiao Yu gave an order: "Don't move!" Ziren had no choice but to be at the mercy of Xiao Yu, fortunately there was no one else here, otherwise he would not have face!

Huh? When it comes to people, why do you always feel that something is missing? Ziren suddenly remembered something when he saw the wood carved lotus lamp, so he lit Xiao Yu, who was still observing him, and then pointed to the lamp.

"Ahh

"Was it taken away by a bat?" Ziren said as he rubbed his face vigorously.

"If you want to take it away, you will be bitten by a crow... Oh, whoa, hey, Mr. will be fine, let's go look for it, maybe Mr. is hiding!"

So the two of them looked in one direction, but before looking for it, Xiao Yu said to Ziren: "Your wound... It's a little strange..."Strange?Ziren guessed that he was not pecked by a crow but was bitten by a bat, what is strange? However, now is not the time to argue, it is still important to find Mr. Xu, but no matter how the two called, there was no answer, and there was no trace on the road except for the bats that were knocked down.

Xiao Yu followed the previous path up the mountain to look all the way down, and Ziren went up the mountain to find Mr. Xu. Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt that someone had hit her shoulder with a stone, but when she looked back, she could only vaguely see Ziren who was also searching on the other side from the fog. "Wrong, although I have just met Zhou Gongzi, with his character, he will not joke at such a juncture. Xiao Yu muttered to herself, in order to be safe, she ran to Ziren's side and said, "I don't have any clues here, it's better for us to look for it together, and we can take care of it." Ziren thought it was okay and nodded.

Xiao Yu looked for it and suddenly felt that her calf was touched by something, but she looked down and saw nothing, she turned her face sideways to look at Ziren beside her, Ziren didn't move, but when she saw Xiao Yu stop, she blamed: "Don't stop! But then the feeling became more obvious, she didn't take two steps before she felt someone slowly touch her waist, and the sudden sense of shame made Xiao Yu not want to do anything more, she shouted: "Zhou Ziren!"

Ziren, who was originally seriously looking for someone, jumped up in fright by this sentence, and also shouted in response: "Wow! What are you doing! Scared me to death, you're happy!"

"Stretch out your hand!" Xiao Yu said coldly.

Seeing Xiao Yu's face turned crimson, but his eyes were like torches, Ziren was also confused, but he still obediently raised his hands in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yu saw that Ziren's hands were there, and his heart was cold, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Ziren..."

Although Ziren was a little reluctant, he still turned his head, and was about to see what happened to Xiao Yu, when suddenly Mr. Xu's faint cry for help came from the front, and Ziren said to Xiao Yu: "Don't care what it is, I see that you are fine, let's go and save Mr. Xu first!" Xiao Yu was about to speak, when suddenly the stroking behind his back became tight, and a sharp pull made Xiao Yu's center of gravity unstable, and he flew backwards in the air.

"Young Master Zhou!" Xiao Yu stretched out his hands.

The thing that was pulling Xiao Yu seemed to have eyes, and when he saw that Ziren wanted to save people, he sped up and pumped, and Ziren only threw himself into the air. Just as Ziren wanted to rush forward, Mr. Xu's cry for help restrained Ziren's pace.

Ziren was caught in the middle by the cries for help on both sides, and he was in a dilemma, but at this time, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Little brother~ You only have one chance!"
