Chapter 40: The Swift Sword
Sima Taixiao said goodbye to Duan Shanyue after staying in the Boxing Sect for three days, Duan Shanyue was very reluctant, and sent Sima to the foot of Guanshan Mountain, and watched Sima leave before returning to the Boxing Sect. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although there was no substantial breakthrough in the cultivation of Sima of the Fist Sect, Duan Shanyue's words made Sima's state of mind more calm. Sima seemed to be in a good mood, striding and humming a minor tune towards the Nine Ring Mountain.
"Isn't it a little anxious to go back a few days after leaving Duxian Mountain?" The more Sima thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, after returning to Duxian Mountain, he didn't know how long it would take to come out again, the Central Plains of the War Domain was so big, and he hadn't been to many places.
Thinking about it, Sima took out the broken map and looked at it carefully.
"Since I got this map, I haven't taken a good look at the layout of the Central Plains of the Familiar War Domain. ā
Although the map is shabby, the annotations are very detailed. From the map, it can be seen that the war domain is a continent, and the Central Plains is also very easy to distinguish, draw a circle that can just accommodate the three spiritual lands, and this circle basically summarizes all the places in the Central Plains. The Central Plains accounts for about half of the Battlefield Continent, and in the eastern half of the Battlefield Territory, the terrain is flat, and most of the other places are barbaric and barren plateaus and barren mountains, which are rarely populated, and there are few detailed notes on the map for places outside the Central Plains. Fuchun City is located in the east of the Central Plains, next to the Cuiling Mountain Immortal Sect. Jiuhuan Mountain is in the southwest of the Central Plains, and the Huadeng Bamboo Forest, one of the three spiritual lands, is not far away, but it is not close. Guanshan is about halfway between Cuiling Mountain and Jiuhuan Mountain. Although the Demon City is not in the Central Plains, it is also recorded on the map that the former site of the Demon City is in the southwest of the Central Plains, and it is not far from the boundary of the Central Plains.
Sima looked at it carefully for a while, and said slowly: "I have seen the misty clouds and smoke of the three spiritual lands, Kuaixue Gufeng is too far in the northeast, and this Huadeng Cuizhu Forest is not too far from the Jiuhuan Mountain, why don't I go and see, although there are some detours, but the right is regarded as a tour." ā
Sima packed up the map and hummed a minor tune again and headed towards the Huadeng Bamboo Forest.
The martial arts practitioner was very fast, and even if Sima did not deliberately speed up, he was almost at his destination in less than two days. Sima was walking in a forest, and he was fantasizing about what the scenery would be like in the green bamboo forest, when suddenly the wind swayed in the forest.
Sima sneered, and said secretly in his heart: "Hmph, you've been following me for two days, and you've finally decided to do it?"
It turned out that Sima had felt that he had been followed since he left the Guanshan Fist Sect, and he had not found the right time along the way, so the man did not move. In order to lure out the people in the shadows, Sima deliberately chose to pass through this silent forest.
Sima said coldly: "I can't bear it!"
Although there were no enemies in the woods, a layer of killing intent slowly emerged. At this time, the wind suddenly rose, Sima heard a swallow's cry, and a golden flying knife came in the blink of an eye.
Sima was shocked, not wanting the other party to be a master of making secret weapons. narrowly avoided this fateful knife, Sima did not dare to be careless, otherwise his life would be rested here.
Sima was on guard, and he couldn't see the pressure of the enemy, so that Sima's forehead was stained with a faint sweat. There were three more swallow cries, and it turned out that three golden swallow flying knives flew from three different directions. Seeing this, Sima Fei was already in his hands, dodging a swallow knife, and blocking another one with an extraordinary swing, Sima was surrounded by fire, and under the impact, the trajectory of the third swallow knife changed slightly, Rao was so, and the third knife still cut Sima's clothes.
"Could it be that there are three enemies?" Sima thought for a moment and then denied this conjecture, although the initial attack was a temptation, it could also be seen that the opponent's cultivation was not low, if the enemy with such cultivation was three people, then under the second round of attacks just now, Sima had already become a corpse.
"Even if the enemy is only one person, it should not be underestimated, just now the three swords came out almost at the same time, but they were issued from three different directions, which shows the speed of the opponent's body. ā
Sima knew that he could no longer be passive, otherwise it would only be a matter of time before he was killed.
Seeing that the other party was extremely successful in hiding, so that he could not see a single bit, Sima smiled bitterly: "I really chose an excellent venue for the enemy, who wants to kill me?"
In order to find the traces of the other party, Sima was full of internal yuan, and the internal breath was scattered. Sima had used this trick in the Hundred Flowers Array of Sleeve Red Snow at the beginning, and he had indeed found the hidden place of Sleeve Red Snow. This time the scope is larger, although Sima's cultivation has increased greatly, he may not be able to capture the other party's whereabouts, but at this time, he can only make this decision.
Sima expanded the scope of internal breath exploration, his expression was a little painful, and he seemed to be very struggling, but fortunately, this plan really worked. Sima could feel that a swift figure kept shuttling through the trees, and the speed and the shade of the trees made it difficult to see its figure.
Sima Dao set the prairie on fire, and the Yuan Shen locked on the extremely fast figure. As soon as the man realized that he was locked, he was very surprised, but in the blink of an eye, his prey rushed towards him, and he was brandishing a large knife with a red light and heat wave in his hand.
Sima used the unavoidable move, against such an extraordinary opponent, the momentum of the prairie is undoubtedly the best choice, once the opponent is locked, as long as the opponent moves, he will definitely be hit. Of course, except for the "freak" of Mengqi, Sima didn't think that the opponent at this time would also be so incarnated in invisible kung fu.
Just as Sima was about to slash the other party, another person rushed out screaming.
"Sima Daxia, I'm here to help you!" Sima knew who was coming as soon as he heard it, and the only one who would call Sima "Hero" was the bird who was rescued by Sima in Jiuhuan Mountain.
The speed of the finch is not slow, and the two sparrow blade scimitars are already in front of him in the blink of an eye. How fast the bird flies, the man is faster, and he is worried that he can't avoid Sima's knife, and when he sees the bird flying more rushing, the person starts with a golden swallow flying knife and throws it at the bird Feiduo. Seeing this, Sima was afraid that he would hurt Que Feiduo, and hurriedly changed his target to lock on to the flying knife that flew towards Que Feiduo. With a bang, Sima slashed the knife in time. Seeing the opportunity, the man quickly turned into a light and fled.
Que Feiduo was a little embarrassed, and said cowardly: "I'm sorry Sima Daxia, it's all my fault that let that person escape." ā
"Alas!"
Sima shook his head and didn't speak, just sighed and put Extraordinary away before turning to leave. Seeing that Sima ignored him, Que Fei had to follow behind Sima Taixiao timidly.
......
Approaching dusk, Sima Taixiao arrived at the Huadeng Cui Bamboo Forest, followed by a small tail.
"Hero?" Bird Fei called out in a soft voice.
When Sima heard the sound of Que Feiduo, he felt a little irritable and angry in his heart. Sima had a good impression of this little girl who had only met once at first, although she was a little wary of Sima when she first rescued her, and her attitude was not very good, but when the two left Jiuhuan Mountain together, Sima told the little girl a lot of jokes and stories in order to adjust the atmosphere, and the relationship between the two gradually became harmonious. What Sima didn't expect was that the quiet and lovely Bird Feiduo would do such a thing today.
Sima looked at Que Feiduo's face a little aggrieved, and said in his heart, you are still aggrieved, Lao Tzu is aggrieved. Thinking that it was because he had been drying other girls for a day, Sima was also a little unbearable, so he said: "I said don't call me 'hero', just call me Sima, it's getting dark, go find some firewood to make a fire." ā
Seeing Sima's response, Que Fei was much happier at the moment, so he went to collect firewood as Sima said.
Sima Taixiao was left alone at the scene, and in this huge bamboo forest, Sima felt a lot more comfortable. This bamboo is straight and towering, with the thickness of a bowl, the bamboo body is green and transparent, like jade, and the bamboo leaves are crystal clear like jasper. As night fell, fireflies appeared, fluttering among the flowers and plants, flashing with starlight, and the bamboo knots at the roots were lit up. Sima De was surprised to see it, it turned out to be a bamboo forest that would glow at night.
It didn't take long for the roots of the entire bamboo forest to light up.
At this time, Que Feiduo came back with a pile of firewood. This bamboo forest is full of grass and green bamboo, how can there be firewood to pick up, Sima asked her to pick up firewood, that is to say, I think she can't find firewood and will come back, how do you think that the bird Fei Fei really picked up a lot of back.
"It seems that he ran out of the bamboo forest to pick it up. Sima saw that Que Feiduo's face was slightly red, and he had also touched Zhenyuan, so he knew that this girl was the firewood that Yungong ran out of the bamboo forest to pick up, and then Yungong ran back.
Sima Fei was still a little gasping when he saw that Que Feiduo was still a little guilty, but when he thought of what she had done to him, he was a little angry at the moment.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, it's much more beautiful than my flower field!"
It turns out that not only the bamboo at the root is bright, but over time, the shiny bamboo node becomes the second section, and slowly becomes the third section, and then the fourth section...... In this way, the light changes from bottom to top, like a lantern gradually rising......
"I see, the name 'Hua Lantern Cui Bamboo Forest' comes from this. ā
