Chapter 3: Fighting the Wolves
On this day, Jiang Chen stopped at the foot of a mountain peak, this mountain is the highest one he has met in the past ten days, he looked up at the peak, only to see the peak straight into the sky, the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, stop for a moment, he steps towards the peak.
When he was halfway up the mountain, he heard the wolf howling continuously, and secretly thought, he must climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible and find a place to spend the night tonight, otherwise there will be danger, thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
Just as he was approaching the top of the mountain, the wolf howl resounded throughout the mountain, and he drew his long sword and looked around vigilantly, when suddenly, a group of wild wolves suddenly burst out from below him, and at a glance, there were more than thirty or forty of them.
Jiang Chen was shocked, not good, wolves.
He took a step and rushed towards the top of the mountain, and the wolves behind him followed him unhurriedly, he had heard his father say that it would be very troublesome to let the wolves target him, and it would be difficult to get out.
Rushing to the top of the mountain, Jiang Chen was desperate, there was a cliff in front of him, just when he was thinking about what to do, the wolves had already reached the top of the mountain, they did not attack him, but surrounded him.
Jiang Chen has no way out, he thought to himself, it's not a pity for me to die, but what I promised Old Man Liu didn't do, hey, it doesn't matter, people are dead, I'm afraid of a bird, and I fight.
I saw that he left his burden on the ground, held a long sword in his hand, and a resolute expression flashed in his eyes, and said secretly, since there is no way to retreat, then fight, as many as you can kill.
At this time, I saw a wolf howling, as if issuing an order, and the three wolves instantly pounced towards Jiang Chen from three directions, Jiang Chen looked at a wolf in front of him, his body rose into the air, raised his sword and slashed down, "Meteor Slash", a sword light slashed, the wolf in front of him was divided into two, blood and internal organs were sprayed, Jiang Chen knew his situation, so he used the strongest sword move as soon as he got started.
At this moment, two wolves on the left and right pounced, and Jiang Chen hurriedly rolled backwards, and his body had already reached the edge of the cliff.
He leaned against a tree on the edge of the cliff, his body was not yet stable, a wolf had pounced in front of him, he hurriedly swung his sword and swept it, the first wolf to pounce on the two front paws were cut off in unison, but the body rushed towards him under the action of inertia, he hurriedly kicked the wolf on the head, the wolf's whole body flew out to the left, smashed on the ground not far away and struggled.
Before he could react, the second wolf rushed over again, a ruthless color flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, left and right are dead, then come on, I saw that his face was hideous, he did not retreat but advanced, and rushed towards the wolf who pounced, "Meteor Slash", another sword light flashed, and the pounced wolf was divided into two.
Just killed one, another pounced, killing six wolves in a row, Jiang Chen was already at the end of the crossbow, there was no trace of strength, it was covered in wounds, and the blood had stained its clothes red, and there were wolves and their own.
At this moment, a wolf pounced head-on, Jiang Chen raised his sword to block, his body flew out with a "bang", and his body hit the tree on the edge of the cliff, he felt like he was falling apart, and he no longer had the strength to stand up.
He looked at the slowly approaching wolves, and gradually he felt that his consciousness began to blur, and he remembered his father, who would tell him some stories about his adventures in the rivers and lakes every day in addition to practicing, and tell him some stories about his childhood.
He thought of his mother, who would cook a lot of delicious food, and he remembered the fried chicken thighs and braised pork that his mother made for him...... In a daze, he seemed to hear his mother's voice calling him to eat again.
"I'm not going to die, I haven't done what I promised others, I haven't found my mother yet, I can't die. His consciousness became more and more blurred.
I don't know how long it took, he woke up slowly, wondering if I was already dead, he reached out and pinched his thigh, and the pain came immediately, I was not dead.
He felt that he had a long, long dream, of his parents and of a lot of delicious food made by his mother.
He got up and sat down on the bed, the sun shining through the window into the room, the walls of the room were all wooden structures, in the middle of which was a table with the sword he was carrying, next to the table were a few wooden stools, and on the left against the wall was a wooden cabinet, which was divided into three layers, the upper and lower floors were open doors, and in the middle were three small drawers.
Just as he was looking at the room in a trance, the door creaked open, startling him, and he quickly stood up.
Coming in was a man in his fifties, dressed in a gray robe, with a somewhat thin face and some neat beard, and the whole person felt very energetic.
He saw Jiang Chen's big eyes looking at him, he also looked at Jiang Chen, his face was very thin, his hair was messy, he was wearing a black dress, which had been stained with blood, dirty, and he was wearing a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, but a pair of eyes were black and shiny.
Then he said: "You want to ask why you are here, it is also your fate, it was the disciple who went down the mountain to train and rescued you from the wolf's mouth." ”
Jiang Chen hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, senior." ”
"You don't have to thank me, count yourself lucky, my name is Huang Yue, and I am the one who manages the medicine garden in the Flying Sword Pavilion. Huang Yue frowned and said.
"Flying Sword Pavilion" Jiang Chen muttered, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and blurted out, "I'm in Flying Sword Pavilion now?"
"Why, where do you think you are, what is your name, where are you going to go alone at a young age, where is your home, how can you be besieged by wolves on the top of Changfeng Mountain alone?" Huang Yue asked a series of questions.
Jiang Chen said his name, and he suddenly said, "Senior, I want to see Di Qing, the Pavilion Master of the Flying Sword Pavilion. ”
Huang Yue looked at Jiang Chen in surprise and scolded, "The name of the Pavilion Master is also your name, and the Pavilion Master is also what you saw?"
Jiang Chen said calmly: "Someone asked me to hand over something to the pavilion master, and I want to hand it over to the pavilion master myself."
"Who entrusted you with what things?" asked Huang Yue in surprise.
"It's Liu Yi, the deputy pavilion master of the Flying Sword Pavilion, he handed it over to me before he died, I can't say anything. Jiang Chen replied.
Huang Yue was taken aback and asked eagerly, "What, the deputy pavilion master is dead, how did he die?"
Jiang Chen told the story of the death of the deputy pavilion master, but omitted the content of the scroll.
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Huang Yue realized the seriousness of the matter, he stretched out his hand, and a black brand suddenly appeared in his hand, crushed the black brand, and the black brand turned into a streamer and disappeared into the air.
After a while, an old man in a black robe appeared out of thin air in the room, and he spoke, "Is there anything urgent?"
Huang Yue repeated what Jiang Chen said, the black-robed old man frowned, he turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, his eyes were like two sharp knives, as if he wanted to see through everything in Jiang Chen's heart.
After a long time, the old man asked in a deep voice, "What you said is true?"
Jiang Chen said firmly: "It's true, I don't dare to hide it in the slightest." ”
The old man said with a sad expression: "Half a year ago, we got the news that we found the ruins of a Sword Immortal level powerhouse in the territory of Qin State, and after the Sword Pavilion Elders discussed, they asked the Deputy Pavilion Master to take a few elite disciples to explore, but I didn't expect that the Deputy Pavilion Master has always been shrewd and capable, and he would fall in this operation, this is really a major loss for my Sword Pavilion." ”
The pavilion master turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Who killed the deputy pavilion master, can you see clearly?"
"It was a burly middle-aged man, about forty years old. Jiang Chen said.
The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "What explanation does the deputy pavilion master have before he dies?"
Jiang Chen took out the scroll from his arms, handed it over, and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master, let me hand this over to you before I died. ”
The pavilion master took the scroll, opened the wrapped cloth, spread out the scroll, looked at it for a long time, he frowned, and closed the scroll.
The old man looked at Jiang Chen again and said, "You have traveled hundreds of miles from Qingcheng Town to here, and they are all lofty mountains, and you were almost buried in the wolf's mouth, which helped us a lot of Sword Pavilion, it stands to reason that we should let you join the Sword Pavilion and become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, but the Sword Pavilion also has regulations that all disciples of the Sword Pavilion must pass the examination of the Sword Pavilion." ”
"Listen to Elder Huang, there is no one in your family, if you want, stay in the medicine garden to help Elder Huang, and then you can also take the exam of the Sword Pavilion, if you don't want to, we will give you some compensation, or you can leave on your own." ”
Jiang Chen thought to himself, he was alone when he returned home, he had the opportunity to join the Sword Pavilion if he stayed and practiced his skills, he could find his mother, thinking of this, Jiang Chen opened his mouth and said, "Senior, I am willing to stay." ”
"Okay, then you can stay in the medicine garden to help. With that, he turned and left.
Jiang Chen knew that the help that the pavilion master said was actually doing chores.
At this time, Elder Huang said, "You stay here, but you can't eat and live in vain, if you want to work, help me look at the medicine garden, collect medicine and other miscellaneous things." ”
At this time, Jiang Chen's stomach "gurgled", and when he saw Huang Yue looking at him, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Hungry, I'll take you to dinner. Huang Yue said and walked out the door.
Jiang Chen hurriedly followed behind and walked out of the door, and what he saw was an open garden, with all kinds of flowers and plants growing in the garden, but Jiang Chen was not in the mood to enjoy the flowers now.
Follow Huang Yue along the stone road to the far side of the row of houses, this is Huang Yue's stove room, Huang Yue uncovered a pot, took out a big bowl of white rice and a plate of vegetables from the pot, there is meat in the dish, Jiang Chen asked Xiang Xiang swallowed his saliva, Huang Yue put the food on the table, and said, "It's still hot, eat it quickly." ”
Jiang Chen "um" for a moment, and then devoured it, he hadn't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time.
Looking at Jiang Chen's eating, Huang Yue knew that Jiang Chen had been hungry for a long time, so he sighed and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke." With that, he walked out of the room.
Jiang Chen ate the food after a while, burped after eating, and felt a lot more comfortable.
After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, he walked out of the room, looked around, a row of houses was located under a hundred-zhang high cliff, in front of the house was an open flat land, the ground was planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the fragrance of medicine was fragrant, which was probably the medicine garden.
Walking out of the medicine garden and going forward, there is a bottomless cliff, looking down, the clouds and mist are shrouded, like a fairyland.
Turn left along the stone road, a waterfall pours down, there is a galloping momentum of ten thousand horses, on the left side of the waterfall sits a magnificent palace, glazed tiles sparkling in the sun, that should be the "Flying Sword Pavilion" palace.
