Rongtianling, southwest of Fangcun.

A radius of more than 100 miles, poor mountains and bad land.

There are dozens of dangerous mountains, and most of them are dangerous peaks. There are few trees to grow on the bare rocky mountain, and only the vigorous weeds can barely survive. Mountains and mountains are intertwined with each other, and when viewed from a high altitude, it is like a basket that has been randomly compiled, which is irregular, and it is even more difficult to have a sense of beauty. It is also the quail that likes to nest with dangerous peaks and rocks, and is willing to settle down in this broken ravine.

To the north of Rongtianling, there is a particularly dangerous and peculiar terrain, called Salamander Ze.

Salamander Ze is composed of two mountains of more than two miles, one salamander and one newt. The two mountains are separated by no more than 30 zhang and face each other in the air, so it is called a salamander. The outside of the two mountains is the same, and the inner incision surface is straight and smooth like a knife. According to legend, this is the result of a wisp of sword qi left in the mortal world when Bodhi Tianji and the Western Buddha fought fiercely for the immortal position five hundred years ago. The rocks of the mountain have been tempered by sword qi, so after 500 years of wind and rain corrosion, there has been no vegetation growth in the inner section of the two mountains of salamanders, nor has it been corrupted in the slightest.

This is the second stronghold selected by Xia Xun and Dushao before the national examination.

Yumu Village retreated, retreated to Salamander Ze, and waited to chase the deer.

"This mountain quack is really desolate enough, and I haven't even seen a wild thing that can run for so long a day. ”

"Tsk, in the next few days, we really can only eat salted fish, right?"

"Uh... The river here is only a dozen miles, if you don't want to be troublesome, you can go fishing and come back. ”

"Xun Shao, let us go, let's eat fish every day these days, and we will vomit quickly!"

"I don't want to eat fish!"

"Bai Xiu, if you don't want to eat fish, you can take people out of the mountains to hunt wild things by yourself. ”

"Didn't you say before the national exam that you should eat and drink?"

"This time and that time. ”

"Damn!"

A few quails fly in the sky, and pedestrians walk all the way underground.

Hundreds of men and horses carried greasy strips of meat, talking and laughing, and traveled nearly 20 miles from the river to the north. The desolation along the way is really disgusting to watch. It can be seen that Xiahou is really tired of eating the fish made by Xia Xun, after all, no matter how good the delicacies of the mountains and seas are, they can't eat the same every day. Xiahou originally thought that he could hunt a few wild boar leopards on the road to have a full meal, but after a while, except for a few thin birds that they caught, they didn't see two wild boar hairs. What else can we talk about?

Xia Xun scraped the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly as he walked: "Why don't I change the taste for you tonight?" The flavor I made a few days ago is quite heavy, and it's time to change the taste." How about steaming silver carp today? When I first arrived, I caught a lot of river shrimp, and I was able to make up a few boiled shrimps. This dish is eaten with sauce and is particularly delicious. ”

"Oh my God, can we not eat what is in the water?"

"Hey, Amitabha, I don't care what you eat. Looking for brother, I'm going to eat steamed eggs later, I paid for those pheasant nests, you can't rob me. ”

"Amitabha. ”

"Hey, don't go too far, brother, I can't even eat eggs?!"

“......”

It's really fun to walk slowly and be noisy all the way.

The fat monk is a warrior monk, and according to the rules of Buddhism, it is no problem for him to eat some eggs. It's just that seeing that the old little monk habitually said another Buddha name and was about to chatter, the fat monk was immediately unhappy.

"Senior brother, you don't bring such a bully, why do you want my old pig to eat an egg? This is allowed by the master, you can't bully honest people, otherwise I will sue you at the master after the exam!"

"Amitabha, sin and sin. ”

"What's the sin? I'm guilty of eating an egg, and my brother should be kind. ”

The little monk Mu Nadi stopped and shook his head: "Bajie, I didn't call you, I called Xia Xun donor." ”

"Uh..."

"Me?"

Xia Xun, who was walking in front, stopped when he heard this, and turned back suspiciously: "Little master, what are you calling me for?"

The little monk raised his right hand, pointed to Xia Xun's front, and said, "There are many people ahead, and there are many people on the other side of the mountain." ”

"What!?"

"Da..."

As soon as the little monk spoke, he immediately stirred up a wave.

At this time, everyone stopped when they heard the sound, looked back at the little monk in shock, and then quickly followed the little monk's finger and turned to look ahead of the road.

But before seeing the trail, they went straight to the destination of their trip, Salamander, a few miles away. Two sword-like mountains stood between heaven and earth, and within a radius of several miles were low barren meadows with a slight hill. The nearest mountain peak is also nearly seven or eight miles away, and you can basically see everything as far as the eye can see. Seeing that the mountain is a mountain, the grass is grass, there are birds flying freely in the sky, and there are colorful butterflies dancing around the flowers on the ground, and it is a silent scene.

But where did anyone come from?

"Eh, Monkey King, are you dazzled?"

"Where did the people come from in this quacky place?"

"That's right, senior brother, it's hard to hide people in this radius of several miles, where are the people?"

After looking at it for a long time, everyone didn't even see a figure, so they were puzzled.

The little monk withdrew his palms, clasped his hands together, and said in a daze: "Amitabha, monks don't know how to speak. There are a lot of people ahead, but they are obscured by illusions, so you can't see them. ”

"Then how can you see that?" asked a northerner.

"The eyes of the little monk are born different from ordinary people. The little monk was stunned.

"Uh..."

Everyone was even more stunned.

Xia Xun frowned deeply.

A dangerous aura came over me.

The little monk studied under the Buddhism Sanzang, and the emperor ranked fourth in Tiangang, second only to Li Yuanba and Gu Fan. But this does not mean that the little monk is inferior to the first two, because the first two have holy weapons on their bodies. If the little monk could also have a holy weapon in his hand, it was likely that even Gu Fan would be stabilized by him. The little monk is so powerful, Xia Xun has never underestimated his ability. Because, in addition to his physical cultivation being strong, he also has a pair of golden eyes that can perceive all the demons and ghosts in the world. Now, the little monk said that there are people and many people on the road ahead. There will be many.

"Sha..."

Ignore the shouting of others.

Xia Xun squinted his eyes carefully, and invisibly spread his divine consciousness into the distance.

Slowly, carefully, explore every inch of the secrets he can cover.

When Xia Xun's divine sense extended to the range of nearly the limit, his face was like a ghost, his eyes widened, and he suddenly became cold!

Someone...

What a person!

And not just one person.

Xia Xun's consciousness could clearly feel that just outside the place, in front of the two mountains of Salamander Ze, the breath of thousands of living people and horses was like a fire, hiding a killing intention. He is no stranger to two of them, and one of them is even more memorable because he has had the intersection of life and death. Although he couldn't see it, Xia Xun had basically guessed who was standing there at this moment.

"Walk slowly. ”

After a little thought, you will know the situation.

The garrison wilderness is not a good one.

The enemy's soldiers are strong and strong, but their own soldiers are weak, and there is a large enough gap in terms of strength and foot strength. If the enemy is determined to attack, Xia Xun knows that the people behind him will not be able to run away at all. So instead of running away, it's better to let him go. Although everyone in the audience didn't know what was going on, seeing Xia Xun's face suddenly change, they also knew that what was happening would definitely not be a good thing.

The crowd was silent for the time being.

Then, Xia Xun gave an order and led hundreds of people out of a distance of nearly 500 zhang.

Then he raised his hand and stopped the pace of the people behind him again.

Xia Xun turned around and ordered: "Take local materials and make a fire to cook." ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Cook with local ingredients and over a fire. ”

Uh..."

The big guys are a little confused.

Do you want to make a fire and cook again?

Isn't there someone in ambush ahead?

Aren't you preparing to go to the dry rack?

How do you take a few steps and then stop cooking?

A series of questions immediately lingered in everyone's minds.

Although Xia Xun affirmed it twice, Lei Meng, Xia Hou and others still had doubts.

After casually confirming that there was no one in front of them, they walked a few steps to Xia Xun's side and asked.

"Ah Xun, what's the situation?"

"We've been ambushed. ”

"Ambushed?

"Yes. ”

Xia Xun nodded and replied affirmatively: "And there are quite a few." ”

"How much?"

"A thousand. ”

"More than that. ”

"Oh?"

As soon as Xia Xun said this, the little monk raised his head and denied Xia Xun's statement.

"There are many more people on the other side of the hill. ”

“......”

Unconfident, Lei Meng and the others looked at their eyes again, and the wilderness was still empty.

Xia Hou didn't understand the situation anymore, and asked, "What about that person, where are they all hiding?"

"Didn't hide it. “

Xia Xun raised his eyes meaningfully and looked straight ahead, and his stunned expression gradually turned into calm again.

He didn't ask the little monk how many people there were on the other side of the mountain, because there must be many, many people...

Xia Xun said: "They are right in front of us, but they can see us, but we can't see them." ”

"Why can't we see it?"

"The little master said, it's an illusion. ”

Xia Xun waved his hand to signal not to ask again: "Don't ask, just do as I say." ”

“......”

Xiahou, Lei Meng and the others looked deeply ahead again.

No matter how they look at it, mountains are mountains, flowers are flowers, stones and stones, there is no trace of illusion at all.

Although there were many doubts in his heart, no one said anything, so he scattered and went to pick up dead branches and leaves around with everyone, and busily set up a bonfire on the spot.

"Sha..."

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

As soon as the tiger was driven away, the wolves came down again.

At this moment, Xia Xun's mood was diametrically opposed to his calm attitude.

Tangled and distressed, irritable, and unbearable, they are all deeply tired of the events that have been repeated by the waves. Bai Shixi was still thinking about whether he should fish or catch birds happily in the next days of rest, but in the blink of an eye, the hateful fate pushed him to the cusp of the stage, making him eager to look up to the sky and howl, scolding violently, "I'll fuck your mother!"

"Hey..."

It has come to this, and disaster cannot be avoided.

With a long sigh of helplessness, Xia Xun pointed to the slightly flat lawn nearby, and said to Jia Haoren: "Haoren, help me spread the mat here, I am tired and want to sleep for a while." ”

"Eh, it's so pinched. ”

Jia Haoren didn't know what Xia Xun's idea was in his stomach, but he didn't ask much and responded directly, took out a neatly folded mat from the package, and laid it down where Xia Xun was pointing.

Xia Xun looked at the northerners and candidates who were busy lighting the fire around him, let go of a trace of helplessness, and said lightly: "Later, you can eat and drink enough and sleep, the people on the other end are as timid as rabbits, and they don't dare to attack if they have ten more dares." I'll rest for an hour, let Dushao deal with the medicine when it comes, don't call me if there's nothing else, I'm so tired. ”

"Okay, you can sleep. ”

After that, only Shao answered.

Xia Xun waved his hand provocatively towards the empty Salamander Ze in the distance in front of him, and then lay down and fell asleep on the mat laid out by Jia Haoren.

The demeanor is calm, just like the casual rest of the tourists, so that people can not see the slightest pretense.

Make somebody's blood boil...

“......”

Shortly after Xia Xun fell asleep.

Distance...

In the lonely and empty salamander mountains, there was a slight sound of broken words...

"Discovered?"

"Obviously. ”

"So what is he doing here?"

"Teasing. ”

"He calculated that I was waiting for an opportunity to ambush and did not dare to attack rashly, so he planned to replenish my physical strength and make me throw a mouse bogey. ”

"It turns out that he is bluffing people again, so let's take the opportunity to attack him for a round?"

"No, let him sleep. ”

“......”
