Chapter 45: The North, the Sacrifice

Ji Feng rushed from Yecheng, and he didn't dare to take a break, once he was caught up by the assassins in Yecheng, there was really only one way to die. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past month, Ji Feng went north to Xueyin City, and he didn't dare to stay in other towns along the way, because there were people looking for him almost everywhere, which showed the great power of the person who pursued him.

It has been snowing in the north for some time, and it is extremely inconvenient to find food, and Ji Feng often can't find food all day.

These days, Ji Feng can only follow the crows to find food, and sometimes when he hears the miserable crow chirp, Ji Feng is excited, because when he finds a place where the crow stays, he can often find some berries that have not been frozen, but more often, Ji Feng follows the crow to find rotting corpses.

Not only is hunger and cold, after the battle with Nanyunman, Ji Feng's right arm suffered a lot of injuries, on the surface, the meridians of Ji Feng's right arm have reached a lot, but the desperate sword caused Ji Feng's meridians to be broken, the breath flowed out, and the right arm has not been able to recover its full strength until now.

When he arrived at Xueyin City, Ji Feng had lost a lot of weight, and the situation of Ji Feng stepping down to chase the shadow was even worse, there was no good forage, so he could only find some grass roots in the snow.

Ji Feng originally wanted to stay in Xueyin City for a few days, because Baili Guichen said that he had been living here before, and Ji Feng also wanted to see the customs of Xueyin City, but now he didn't dare to stay, because when Ji Feng just passed by Xueyin City, dozens of people rushed out of Xueyin City, and the momentum was violent.

These people are all wearing black gold soft armor, and in their hands are fine iron halberds, and they should be dressed as people from the imperial court, but Ji Feng has escaped for so long, and he can also know that these people are actually here to kill him, and the strength of the people who chase and kill him in the imperial court is really not small.

Ji Feng could only continue to run north, running for more than 100 miles, and the people behind him also chased for more than 100 miles. After running for so long, Chasei's breathing was already thick like a broken windmill, and it could stop at any time.

However, after running a hundred miles, the faces of these people suddenly became very ugly, and they suddenly grabbed the reins, and dragged their horses back and forth restlessly, but they did not dare to continue to chase after them. After a moment of stalemate, the leader's face was pale, but he also made a decision, and walked back with a wave of his hand and a group of people.

Ji Feng has been able to hold on to the belief that he has relied on running away these days, and today, those people finally stopped chasing, and Ji Feng's heart was also relieved, as soon as this breath was relieved, Ji Feng's whole person suddenly rolled over on the shadow, and actually rolled down to the snow and fell unconscious.

When Ji Feng woke up again, he found that he was sleeping on the kang by the wall, the quilt covering his body was not comfortable but not thin, counting the north side of the nine cold days, such warmth was really nostalgic, after Ji Feng woke up, he was busy touching his body, the items were still there, but the two weapons were gone.

Ji Feng was startled suddenly, lifted the quilt, and found that there was a pillar wrapped with black cloth in the inner position of the kang, which was also covered under the quilt. The length of this object is exactly the same as the length of the dragon's teeth, Ji Feng hurriedly opened the black cloth, and under the black cloth were indeed his two weapons, Ji Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these two weapons, this sword and a sword are not just a protective thing.

After picking up the sword, Ji Feng carefully looked at the room where he slept, the room was not big, the kang almost took up most of it, the room was covered with a layer of heating, and the body could be stretched out, which was very comfortable. There is also a bowl of white porridge on the table in front of the kang, and there are two plates of pickles, and a thin layer of porridge oil has formed on the white porridge, which shows that the white porridge has been drying for a long time.

Ji Feng walked to the table and didn't think about it for too long before picking up the white porridge and eating it, if the owner here was harmful, he would have killed himself a long time ago, there was no need to do more, and Ji Feng was also hungry at this time.

Along the way, Ji Feng was thirsty for snow, hungry for some berries, he hadn't eaten a good meal for a long time, and it was really good to eat a bowl of white porridge with a light taste and soft texture.

After drinking the porridge, Ji Feng pushed open the door and looked outside, the snowflakes were already a little sparse, and they were still falling. Ji Feng glanced at it casually, this room is connected to several other rooms, each of which is not big, and the decoration is a little rough, just an ordinary person, but Ji Feng listened with bated breath but didn't hear anyone's voice, the owner of this room probably went out.

"Bang bang..."Ji Feng followed the prestige, Chasing Ying raised his front hooves and raised his neck and hissed loudly, Chasing Ying obviously also saw Ji Feng, and shouted a little excitedly.

When Ji Feng first tamed the shadow chaser, he simply relied on brute force, but after such a long time of getting along, he also had a lot of feelings, if he didn't chase the shadow along the way, Ji Feng didn't know how many times he would die.

Ji Feng walked to the side of Chasing Ying and patted the horse's back gently, and Chasing Ying also touched Ji Feng's hand with his head affectionately. Ji Feng can even touch the bones of Chasing Shadow, Chasing Shadow has also lost a lot of weight this month, there is some grass in this stable, it is not exquisite, but it is much better than sleeping in the open air.

The stables were built at the outermost end of several houses, and outside the stables there was only a bowl of jujube trees, and now there was not a single leaf left. Ji Feng looked outside, everything was covered with snow and could not be distinguished, but at this time, a few birds flew to the jujube tree and made a chirping sound.

The birdsong was a little bitter, and Ji Feng was a little uncomfortable when he heard it, Ji Feng looked up, these birds were snow-white, only a pinch of red feathers under their beaks, bright red like blood.

Bloody cuckoo!

Ji Feng had never seen this kind of bird with his own eyes before, but the moment he saw it, he knew it the moment he saw it, Baili Guichen once told himself that there was a bird named Blood Cuckoo in Xueyin City in the north, and it was said that this bird was killed by Yin Wuxu when he left the wilderness, and the soul of the desert was turned into a strange bird, and this bird was the most afraid of people, and people flew away as soon as they got close.

Ji Feng took out a piece of wood carving the size of half a fist from his arms, the fine feathers, the angle of looking, and the vigilant look, carved the bloody cuckoo vividly, although the carpenter in Guanghua City had never seen this cuckoo bird, but he really carved a little charm of this cuckoo.

The cuckoo on the gray and black jujube tree first looked vigilantly for a while when it saw the wood carving in Ji Feng's hand, but suddenly flew into Ji Feng's hand and chirped at the wood carving in Ji Feng's hand.

Looking at the bloody cuckoo in his hand, Ji Feng smiled bitterly, when Baili Guichen gave this wood carving to himself, he said that this bird is very afraid of life, but once he gets close to someone, it means that this person is definitely a friend worth making.

But what kind of friend is worth making? The only friend he can count as a friend is Baili Guichen, but because he was implicated, Baili Jingye was degraded, and so far the whole family has not heard from him.

Suddenly, Ji Feng looked into the distance, only to see a deer dragging a sleigh, running towards him, two people sitting on the sleigh, a man and a woman, nearly middle-aged, Xu is more old because of the wind and frost, these two people are crowded on the sleigh, with mink top hats to block the wind.

The deer's footsteps are not easy to run, looking at the original structure of the sled, it should have been pulled by two deer together, and the life of two deer falling on the body of a deer will naturally not be easy.

Ji Feng saw it and saw it clearly, but the two old men in the car didn't see Ji Feng so quickly. After some time, the deer also pulled the sleigh to the door, and the couple was indeed the owner of the house.

Seeing that Ji Feng had recovered, the couple's originally stiffened face that was blown by the wind and snow showed a hint of a smile towards Ji Feng, and as soon as the man in the couple stepped off the sleigh, he dismantled the sled and drove the deer back to the stable.

Ji Feng patted the chasing shadow to signal it to be quiet, and the chasing shadow paced to the corner to quiet down, no longer arguing with the deer, and the uncle said to Ji Feng:

"It's better, it's cold outside, don't freeze, come in. ”

Ji Feng looked at the old couple, the emotion in his heart was indescribable, he just smiled and nodded, and walked towards the house with the couple. When the old husband saw the sword in Ji Feng's waist, his face changed slightly, but he didn't say much, just asked Ji Feng to enter the house quickly.

After entering the house, it was a lot warmer, and the couple also took off their coats, sat on the edge of the kang and looked at Ji Feng with a smile, Ji Feng was a martial arts practitioner after all, and he was not too afraid of the cold, and the people in the south did not have the habit of sitting on the kang, so they sat on the chair in front of the table.

"Boy, are you better?" asked the eldest lady, in a rather concerned tone.

"It's okay. Ji Feng felt the kindness of the two, paused for a while and continued, "It's really troublesome for the two of you." ”

"It's okay, your complexion is so bad, obviously you're hungry and faint, so you can't eat more when you wake up, I got you some white porridge to fill your stomach first, and then I will ask my mother-in-law to cook a good meal for you later." ”

"I'll go to cook fish soup after a while, the young man's body is strong, good fast, when my little is learning to make iron, too stupid, always hurt himself, drink some fish soup in a few days to get better. The wife chimed in.

"It doesn't have to be so much trouble. Ji Feng was a little reluctant to go.

"By the way, young man, I want to remind you that the weapons here can't be taken out casually, they have to be hidden, otherwise they will be checked by the government, but it will not be good. ”

"Does the government also check weapons?" Ji Feng was a little puzzled, Izumo was still martial, and in the city to the south, even if he walked through the streets and alleys with weapons at noon, it would be fine. Xueyin City used to be the best country in the eight countries before the unification of Izumo Country, and the weapons made were unparalleled in the world, but now they are forbidden to martial arts, how not to surprise Ji Feng.

"Young man, you are from the south, this rule of forbidden martial arts has been implemented in Xueyin City for nearly a hundred years, after the founding monarch Yin Wuxu captured Xueyin City, he issued a ban on martial arts in Xueyin City, smelting is under the control of the imperial court, and the general blacksmith shop must also be registered in the imperial court, my son learned to strike iron in Xueyin City, I am familiar with this matter.

Although this place is far away from Xueyin City, there will be occasional official missions to find out, young man, remember to hide your two weapons. ”

"I'll pay attention, thank you Uncle Auntie for reminding me, I don't know how you found me?"

"We were on our way to the sacrifice, and when we saw you, you fainted in the middle of the road, and your horse was walking around you, and when we saw it, we hurried to take you home, and we had just returned from the sacrifice. ”

Speaking of this sacrifice, the uncle and aunt showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.
