Chapter 522, Yellow Springs Forest
Chapter 522, Yellow Springs Forest
Outside the city of the Five Kingdoms is a dense forest, as far as the eye can see, the forest is vast, magnificent and extraordinary. Very few people enter this forest, and almost no one who enters it never comes out again. The inhabitants of the Five Kingdoms City call it the Yellow Springs Forest.
It seems that this forest is a fork in the road to the Yellow Springs, and this forest is ominous, a place of death.
A man with a huge axe on his back was walking slowly in this death zone, the light in his eyes was very dim, he didn't know where he was going, in this vast forest, she was just an exile.
After a long time, he was tired of walking, so he found a large bluestone and sat down. In this forest, there is no sunlight to look up, and the only thing that is not lacking is quiet.
"Alas, I can't imagine that I ended up like this, how good the days of drinking in Chang'an were. He reached out and pulled out the flask from his waist, only to find that it was empty. With his hands down, he slept on the bluestone, his eyes looked at the top of the forest, and a faint layer of fog gradually covered his eyes.
"Wanzhen, are you still waiting for me?"
Luo Xiaocheng sighed, his eyes closed, and his thoughts sank into boundless memories.
Twelve years ago, he was still a ranger, with a green shirt, not as full of stubble and boring hands as he is now, and he could be regarded as a handsome teenager. Leaving his hometown from Lingnan Road, Lang traveled to the end of the world, and lived a life of chivalry and righteousness.
Walking alone in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that there will be too many enemies. He is no exception. In order to seek justice for a septuagenarian man and find his daughter who was snatched away by the bully Lei family, he broke into the Lei family's deep courtyard by himself and with an ax.
The Lei family in Liaodong is simply unknown to everyone in the northeast, and its influence extends even to the Central Plains cities such as Yangzhou and Yizhou. There are also countless branch halls, and there is a tendency to dominate the entire Northeast. And what the Lei family relies on is the five protectors of the Liao Lei family.
Sky Eagle, Snow Harrier, Danfeng, Lone Wolf, Thunder Dragon.
The Lei family seems to be a cancer in the entire rivers and lakes, everyone knows the notoriety of the Lei family, and everyone in the world wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. However, the reputation of these five protectors in the rivers and lakes is not stinky, because the places under the rule of the five protectors are almost the same as in the world, and people flock to these five places. But for some reason, these five people are still desperate for the Lei family. Because of these five people, almost no one outside the gate can compete with them.
It was a very unfortunate battle. The head of the Lei family was not there at all, there was a rebellion in a branch of Shannan Road, and the head of the Lei family went to suppress it together with the five protectors, Luo Xiaocheng pounced, but he still slaughtered more than 30 lives at the helm of the Lei family.
Three days later, the head of the Lei family sent Danfeng, one of the five protectors, to strangle Luo Xiaocheng, and the two fought on the Wuqiu Mountain in Shannan Province, and the battle lasted for a day and a night. On the cliff, two swords and giant axes slash together, gold and iron intersect, and sparks are like daylight.
At that time, Luo Xiaocheng was proficient in hundreds of kung fu and had a wide range of knowledge, and as the Danfeng protector of the Lei family, his fame was also resounding outside the gate. The battle between the two was amazing. However, Luo Xiaocheng won, it was only half a move away, and the sword was about to pierce his heart and lungs, but his giant axe had already cut off half of the green silk in her left ear.
"I won't kill you, you're still a good person after all. Luo Xiaocheng put away the Hengyang axe and said proudly.
Her heart suddenly softened, and she looked at the resolute look in his eyes, as if she had cut off all the sins in her body with an axe.
"You and I are just people in the rivers and lakes, if you let me go today, tomorrow you will die under my sword. Her face was cold, completely hiding the turmoil in her heart. This is the first to defeat her, and the first to let her go after the victory. In the depths of her heart, Luo Xiaocheng awakened what she had always wanted to do but did not dare to do, for him, Danfeng felt for the first time that the enemy did not need to be killed.
"So what, since the moment you throw yourself into the rivers and lakes, life has long been yesterday's thing. I never look up to tomorrow, and living today is a matter of getting drunk and free. Even if I die tomorrow by your sword, so what's the matter, at least I'm doing the right thing. ”
Luo Xiaocheng turned around and was about to leave, and the ancient well in Danfeng's eyes began to be shattered inch by inch, like a lake with thin ice, and after a piece fell, it collapsed one after another. The water under the ice was disturbed, and there was no longer a moment of silence.
"What's your name?" Danfeng shouted as he looked at his distant back.
"My name is Luo Xiaocheng, if I want to fight again tomorrow, I will accompany you. Luo Xiaocheng took a sip of wine, and as soon as he raised his head, he was about to stagger down the hill.
"Luo Xiaocheng, you remember for me, my name is Feng Wanzhen. It's your opponent!"
"Remembered. The voice came from afar, accompanied by laughter, full of wildness and uninhibitedness.
Seeing that laughter gradually disappearing into the sky, a hole suddenly appeared in Feng Wanzhen's eyes. It seems to be a hollowed-out line of sight, deep and distant. She was bathed in the sassy wind, and her green hair flowed down like a black waterfall, hanging down to her waist, and there, a hand holding a sword was trembling slightly.
Half a month later, there was shocking news in the rivers and lakes that the Lei family's Danfeng Dharma Protector rebelled, escaped from the Lei family's rudder, and evaded the pursuit of the other four major Dharma protectors of the Lei family all the way, and disappeared.
No one knew why, and after that, the protector named Danfeng disappeared completely.
Luo Xiaocheng's proudest thing in his life is to be able to marry Feng Wanzhen's wife. She is a strange woman in the rivers and lakes, and her status and reputation are far higher than him, Luo Xiaocheng once asked her why, Feng Wanzhen said, because he aroused the resistance in her heart and broke her heart knot.
The past is vivid, counting the red dust, such as yesterday, but today when I think about it, it makes people can't help it.
He opened his eyes, there seemed to be something more in the depth of his eyes, but it was so subtle and unpredictable, his gaze did not seem to stay on the leaves on the top, it seemed to be able to penetrate this thick barrier, but after rushing out of this space, there seemed to be nowhere to go, everywhere was blank.
He gradually got up, and he had almost rested here, although this forest was big, but he always had to go, even if the forest was big, there should always be an end.
Thinking like this, Luo Xiaocheng stood up, carried the Hengyang axe on his shoulder, and strode towards the depths of the forest.
He was never a pessimist, even when there was no drinking.
At this time, his body was full of injuries, and after resting for a while, he felt that the injuries on his body were even more severe. With a slight movement, the whole body hurt terribly. Luo Xiaocheng gritted his teeth and slowly walked into the forest.
In the sky above this forest, the sky is slightly dawning.
The Huangquan Forest is rugged, and it is at night, the road is not easy to walk, Luo Xiaocheng walked very slowly, and the giant axe in his hand cut the thorn bushes in front of him from time to time.
I don't know how long he walked, Luo Xiaocheng seemed to see a few rays of light leaking from the forest, for a person who had been walking for a long time in the dark night. Light is an incomparable treasure. Luo Xiaocheng approached the light, followed the light and looked up, just in the darkness, the light was dazzling, and he had to subconsciously block it with his hands. After slowly getting used to it, he realized that it was a new round of red sun.
A round of hopeful red sun, the orange light was full of life, Luo Xiaocheng watched its light change from faint to intense, and gradually became incandescent, Shi Yunyang felt that the end of this forest was not far away.
His steps became much lighter, and Luo Xiaocheng continued to walk in the same direction, his direction was the same, and he kept walking in one direction, and there was always a time when he would go out.
Gradually, the little pieces of gold that began to leak from the forest began to shine in the forest, and the light in the forest gradually became clearer. Layers of mountains gather here, flowing slowly, as rich as white ruin. Walking here, it seems that people have also become immortals in the misty world, flying into the clouds.
The forest was eerily quiet, as if there was no life in it, except for the sound of empty logging. After some distance, they would cut an axe on the nearest tree as a marker. However, fortunately, he has not seen the mark he has made.
But it didn't take long for Luo Xiaocheng to see another mark. It was three scratches embedded deep in the trunk of the tree, and he touched it about an inch deep. Such a powerful force is really shocking.
Could it be a bear?
Luo Xiaocheng thought about it, but even if it was a bear, it was nothing, the spiritual power in his body was still slowly recovering, if it was fully recovered, even if there were ten more bears, it would not be his opponent.
He kept an eye on it, reached out and grabbed the axe, and slashed at the scratch to cover it up. Then he carried the axe on his back and gradually left the place.
But not long after he left, he suddenly heard a wolf howl not far away. The cry was filled with infinite fighting intent, which was the signal after the food was found.
Luo Xiaocheng was taken aback, it turned out that the scratch was not a bear's, it was a wolf's!
A moment later, a small clicking sound was heard. It was as if the claws of hundreds of wolves were stepping on Konoha, and with a slight rustling sound, it seemed that an army was quietly approaching.
A sense of crisis hit his heart, and Luo Xiaocheng hurriedly jumped onto a big tree. And slowly, I saw that green light began to appear in the surrounding fog, Luo Xiaocheng looked at the dense patch below, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
A wolf was the first to pace out of the fog, and Luo Xiaocheng realized that the green lights were all wolf eyes. For a while, the wolves under the tree surrounded the tree where he was, and Luo Xiaocheng looked at it and saw that the wolves under the tree were densely packed together, spreading to the depths of the fog.
