Chapter 5: The Forest of Shadowy Bats
The three of them entered the southern Xinjiang territory, and everything around them was a completely different world.
I saw in the distance, heavy mountains and mountains, even a hundred thousand mountains, the road was also rugged, wild grasses were overgrown, as soon as people entered, there was no trace, they were always cautious, for fear of some poisonous wolves and beasts in the depths of the jungle.
Along the way, there are mostly wild flowers and grasses with strange colors or strange appearances.
Xiao Ran saw a cluster of strange things like a dog's head, and he was very curious and wanted to touch it with his hands. Suddenly, the small bamboo basket around his waist made two loud noises. It turned out that the little fox was poking out its furry head, and it flew out with a bang and jumped onto Xiao Ran's sleeve. Xiao Ran screamed, hugged the fox in his arms, and said, "I was sick just now, but now I am alive!"
Ziqin pointed to the dog-headed grass next to him, and said seriously: "In these 100,000 mountains, poisonous insects and poisonous weeds are everywhere. Look at this dog-like stamen, it is the favorite food of the yin bat, it is extremely poisonous, if you accidentally touch it, it will not make a half sound, you will die with a whine, and your whole body will fester!
Xiao Ran gasped and thought: I almost died at my own hands! He patted the back of his hand with his other hand, and said secretly: "I'm really cheap!"
Xiao Ran found that the little fox had scurried into the bamboo basket, and his little head held up a little bamboo basket lid, and he quietly looked at Xiao Ran.
After Xiao Ran saved the fox that day, he took the fox with him, and the fox often stared at him blankly like a human, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
Yun Yao said: "I'm tired, let's rest!"
"Didn't you just rest?"
Yun Yao glanced at Ziqin and said to Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, let's take a break, Ziqin, you can go by yourself if you want to go! As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Ran to sit down and ignored him.
"Hey, you're a man. Ziqin had no choice but to find a clean stone and sit down.
When Ziqin put the package down, Yun Yao grabbed it and asked, "I want to see what good things the old man has given you, but he won't let me see it!"
"What good things can be, some charms and elixirs!"
"What a big breath!What is this?Our Yunxu Secret Exorcism Rune!" Yun Yao carefully stuffed back the talisman and some precious elixirs.
"Isn't this afraid that you will be too ostentatious and be targeted?
"How do you speak?" Yun Yao pinched Ziqin's arm fiercely.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Ziqin screamed twice.
"It's your flesh, not mine. ”
They were still fighting, Xiao Ran coughed and laughed twice, and his attention was attracted by his little fox. The little fox that Xiao Ran rescued pretended to hold the treasure gourd in his arms, and his small body looked very cute. Xiao Ran simply braided a grass strip in the middle of the treasure gourd, and put the treasure gourd on the back of the little fox, and the little fox jumped up and down carrying the big gourd. The little fox heard Xiao Ran's laughter, tilted his neck to look at him, and then ran back into the bamboo basket, occasionally poking his head out to look at him.
Ziqin asked with interest, "Xiao Ran! By the way, Dao Tianshu is really your master, is it impossible?"
In this world, there is no one who does not know the Tao Tianshu, his cultivation is the first in the world, a heavenly sword divine soldier, with the unpredictable power of ghosts and gods, a trick of the rainbow nine styles, the world is difficult to match. But fifteen years ago, he disappeared mysteriously, and Feixianmen couldn't find him, so he was temporarily replaced by Dao Tianshu's junior brother Dao Tianji, but there was no sword spectrum of the Rainbow Sword and the Rainbow Sword Song handed down by the head of the family, and the position of the head was just a name, and it was difficult to convince the public.
Ziqin still can't figure it out, how can the world's number one apprentice be a country child who has no power to tie the chicken?
"How can I be qualified to be his apprentice, he taught me to tell you this!" Xiao Ran scratched his head and said it. He is not deeply involved in the world, where does he know what people are sophisticated, let alone the heart of guarding against others. In his eyes, Ziqin and Yun Yao are like brothers and sisters, and they will not be suspicious and conceivable.
Xiao Ran's trust in them, to be honest, they were somewhat moved in their hearts.
"You can't hold back the words in your mouth! Don't treat everyone as a friend, people are unpredictable, and you are killing every step in the rivers and lakes, be careful of the way of the gangster!" Yun Yao said, and looked at Ziqin again: "Did you say?"
Ziqin nodded, "You can't have the heart to hurt people, but you can't have the heart to prevent people! Not everyone is like me and Yun Yao, I'm afraid that you will be deceived!"
Xiao Ran lived like a little adult, shaking his head, "The world is a person, there is nothing more than a righteous word, and the world is a thing, there is nothing more than a Taoist word! I think it! In the world, you need to be worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of conscience, this is a big husband!"
Ziqin and Yun Yao smiled slightly, these big truths actually came out of the mouth of such a country child, the words were sonorous and powerful, and they were not fake!
The little fox hid in the bamboo basket, looked at Xiao Ran secretly, as if there was some emotion flashing in his eyes, and he hid back with two sounds!
Yun Yao's mind turned: "Xiao Ran, what happened in your village? I saw that my master was so eager to let us go down the mountain, and I vaguely felt that something big was about to happen! How did you get acquainted with Dao Tianshu?"
Xiao Ran told him what happened in the village, Ziqin and Yun Yao frowned, and felt that something was wrong, what was wrong with them going to Yaowang Mountain!
Ziqin and Yun Yao suddenly picked up their swords and said nervously, "Be careful!
They were in the depths of the dense forest, surrounded by grass and trees, how could there be people in this barren mountain and wilderness? They felt that a wave of people was coming in their direction, obviously being targeted by someone.
Xiao Ran grabbed the fox out of the bamboo cage, put it in his arms, and hid behind Yun Yao and Ziqin.
Ziqin said: "This barren mountain and wild forest, I'm afraid it's robbers and robbers!"
Yun Yao said: "What are you afraid of! Kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"
Yun Yao was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Ziqin, Ziqin said: "Don't kill innocents indiscriminately, just scare them away!
Yun Yao nodded, "I naturally know, I'm just protecting Xiao Ran!" At this time, she won't mess around, she naturally knows the truth that the overall situation is important, and she must take into account Xiao Ran's safety, once she really fights, she is afraid that it will hurt Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran saw that Ziqin was so chivalrous, and he admired it in his heart. This Senior Sister Yun Yao usually messes around with her senior brother, and she is not ambiguous at the critical moment, but she is just a straightforward girl. At this moment, the first thing they thought of was to protect Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and the truth was seen in adversity!
Xiao Ran didn't know how the two of them cultivated, and was a little worried, if there were many robbers and bandits, it would be difficult for them to defeat four hands with two fists, and if they took care of his safety again, they were afraid that they would suffer, so he said worriedly: "If you can't deal with it, you just have to escape!
Yun Yao hatefully stepped on Xiao Ran's foot, "What are you talking about! Can't believe our character or can't believe our strength?" Senior brother leaked both hands to show him, don't bury the reputation of our Yunxu faction!"
Ziqin snorted coldly: "Although my Ziqin is not a hero of the rivers and lakes, I can't do anything about betraying my friends to survive!"
"Yo, who didn't have a long eye, and came to our territory? Leave your valuable ones behind, and we will let you live!"
A group of fierce and vicious people, holding snow-white dazzling knives, surrounded Xiao Ran and his party. Three or five of the group had bows and crossbows in their hands, and they aimed them at them. At this moment, out of the crowd came a pockmarked man, lean and lean, like a monkey. The man strode forward, his posture very imposing. Next to him was a hippie-smiling man, who was very flattering to him. This pockmarked monkey-like person should be their king.
Mazi walked forward, and the man next to him laughed, knelt down on the ground, and said with a smile: "King, you sit!
Mazi sat down, picked his feet with his hands, looked calm, saw Yun Yao's beautiful face and bewitching body, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, pointed at them and said: "Leave the valuable ones and this girl!
While picking his feet, Mazi cast a lewd look at Yun Yao, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "En! It's a bit of a gesture! It's not bad to be a lady in the village!"
Yun Yao snorted, she really couldn't help the bandit Mazi's light eyes, and said angrily: "Just rely on you ugly bastards!
Yun Yao's real anger skyrocketed, and she was about to have a seizure, but Ziqin stopped her again.
Ziqin motioned to her to look at the crossbowmen next to her, "Be careful of these crossbowmen, they occupy the mountain as kings, you should be able to see that we are cultivators, if you don't have some means, forgive them for having the courage to act rashly!"
The person who was the chair pretended to smile and said, "That's the Soul Crossbow, specially prepared for you cultivators! We have spent a lot of money! The superior goods of the Pure Weapon Sect! If you get this flying arrow, even the Great Luo Immortal will admit it!"
Yun Yao whispered, "Senior brother, what should I do, they are prepared!"
"Capture the thief and capture the king first! We will act when the opportunity comes! I will protect Xiao Ran and attract their attention, you take the opportunity to take down that pockmark, and. And that chair!"
Ziqin protected Xiao Ran and vacated back, and when the crossbowman saw this, he hurriedly aimed at Ziqin, and when he was about to shoot the flying arrow, he found that Yun Yao had already stabbed their king with a sword, and quickly shot towards Yun Yao.
Ziqin exclaimed: "Senior sister, be careful!"
Boom, the sound of breaking the sky suddenly started, and several flying arrows had already shot towards Yun Yao, Yun Yao suddenly accepted and retreated. The sword stabbed through, exposing the crossbowman's weakness to her, and the sudden attack made her a little overwhelmed. She stumbled a few times and was held up by Ziqin.
Ziqin said with concern: "Senior sister, it's okay!"
"I'm fine! I don't have a chance to do it, those crossbows are too tricky!"
The crossbowmen aimed at Yun Yao and Ziqin, as long as they moved half a step, the arrows would shoot at them, even if they could dodge, Xiao Ran would definitely not be able to dodge, and he would be shot to death on the spot!
"What should I be? a few broken bows and crossbows, can I be so nervous?" A bewitching woman walked in the distance, none other than Feng Wuniang.
Everyone looked in her direction, and she was fine, flew to a big tree nearby, sat down, and swayed her feet leisurely, knocking melon seeds to eat, as if she was watching a play.
Asako stood up, and the chair under his ass struggled a few times to get up. Before Mazi could speak, the chair shouted, "What kind of people! Why do you want to save people? and ask us if we agree!"
Feng Wuniang was in a graceful posture, her long hair floated in the wind, and she couldn't see her face clearly, Feng Wuniang said: "Save people! No, no, no! I'm just here to watch the play! Don't worry! I won't interfere!"
Mazi and the others looked at Feng Wuniang's posture, and couldn't help but think about it, and their minds were full of her pretty appearance of Zhangtai willow, so beautiful and moving. Mazi said twice: "A lady with such a good figure, I have never tasted it!"
Feng Wuniang brushed her hair, stroked it, and looked at the ground: "Brother, do you want to taste my body?"
Mazi laughed, "You bluff me! You are in the tree, how can I make you happy? Could it be that the lady likes to come up from the tree, but there is no charm! My Wang Mazi has never tried it!"
The mountain bandits laughed and teased the phoenix dancer.
Xiao Ran and the others couldn't help but look dark! It's over! It seems that this pockmark is hopeless! They secretly pinched several cold sweats for him!
Feng Wuniang opened her long skirt, revealing her snow-white and slender legs, and her eyes were straight, and she snorted and had a nosebleed.
Wang Mazi couldn't wait and wanted to jump up the tree, Feng Wuniang smiled and said: "What's the hurry? I won't leave! I'll be waiting for you here! Wouldn't it be better if you catch that girl and have a dragon and two phoenixes!"
Wang Mazi's face was flushed, obviously teased by Feng Wuniang, "Lady has to wait for me!" As he spoke, he walked towards Yun Yao, smiling lewdly as he walked: "Brother is here!"
Yun Yao scolded: "You stinky woman, what kind of grudge do I have with you?
"Hey, hey, I hate beautiful girls the most in my life! You're so beautiful, I'm jealous!"
What kind of jealousy is this, it is simply Feng Wuniang's pastime, with her strength, these mountain bandits are opponents. She is an expert in external training, her body is extremely fast, let alone aiming at the bow and crossbow, and before she picks it up, I am afraid that her head will fall to the ground. Besides, these so-called bows and crossbows originally came from the Weapons Sect, and Feng Wuniang was the hall master of the Weapons Sect, so she wouldn't take these ninth-rate weapons and secret weapons in her eyes at all.
Ziqin said angrily: "Miss Feng, if you want to save people, you can save people, if you don't save people, what are you doing as pastime and playing with us?" I respect your ability, but I can't get used to your character!"
Feng Wuniang glanced at Ziqin out of the corner of her eyes, and was interested, "Not bad! It's okay to look good! I like my personality too! It's better to have it with me! Wrap you up and be happy with the fairies of the water town!"
Ziqin said angrily: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"Haha, look at your nervousness! I only said to protect Xiao Ran's young man, but I didn't say to protect your junior sister! Besides, it was the mountain bandits who wanted to move your junior sister, and it wasn't my hand, so wronging people is not like what you are doing rightly!" Feng Wuniang said to Wang Mazi: "The young man behind them has no cultivation, and asked the mountain bandit brother to let him go, the little woman is grateful!"
Wang Mazi raised his eyebrows twice: "Okay! According to yours, you have to compensate Lao Tzu when the time comes!"
Yun Yao stomped her feet angrily, pointed at the Feng Wuniang on the tree and said, "You are shameless! despicable!"
Feng Wuniang said: "Little girl, save some strength, I can wait to see you and others...... Hahaha......"
Wang Mazishan took a few steps forward and ordered: "Catch that girl for me! Don't hurt the kid who hugs the fox! There is another kid." Huh?"
Feng Wuniang said: "Captured!"
"Capture me alive!" Wang Mazi said.
Ziqin and Yun Yao's true anger skyrocketed, whistling and roaring, the mountain bandits were actually a little scared, the two of them were the elite of the Yunxu faction, and their cultivation was naturally not low, with their strength, if it wasn't for the mountain bandits relying on the soul crossbow to suppress, where could they fight.
Wang Mazi kicked one of them and said angrily: "Don't give it to me yet!
The crowd rushed up, the crossbowmen tried to shoot them, and all positions were blocked by figures!
Ziqin seized the opportunity, stepped on the magic array, grasped it tightly, and shook out the true qi with a loud shout, and the mountain bandits were shocked into a nervous disorder, flew out for several feet, and fell to the ground one after another, wailing and screaming in pain!
Wang Mazi grinned and got up, and shouted: "Okay, you stinky!
"I'm a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, I didn't do anything, and I didn't interfere, why do you blame me? Brother Mountain Bandit! You want to blame others!"
Wang Mazi suffered a loss, and all the mountain bandit brothers were injured and unable to fight, so they had to give up and said indignantly: "Let's go!"
Dozens of mountain bandits slipped away!
Feng Wuniang jumped from the tree with a smile and flew down, "Brother Ziqin is so powerful!
Yun Yao drew her sword and pointed at Feng Wuniang: "Stinky mother-in-law, who is your brother! Don't want to hit my senior brother, pay attention!"
Ziqin grabbed her hand and said, "Senior sister, don't be angry! If it weren't for her, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape!"
So, he waved at Feng Wuniang and said, "Thank you Miss Feng for saving me!
Zi Qin is a gentleman, thanks to Feng Wuniang for her help, but I really don't agree with her frivolity and debauchery, I hope she can be dignified and serious!
Yun Yao snorted, "Thank her for what she did!"
Feng Wuniang saw that Yun Yao was more angry, the more proud and happy she became, it seemed that Yun Yao was very interested in his senior brother, so she teased Ziqin and said: "Good brother! Why is your junior sister not as open-minded as you! Since ancient times, beautiful women love heroes, if it were me, I would choose a big hero like you who has a clear distinction between right and wrong!"
Yun Yao's whole body was about to explode, "Bah! You're going to be shameless!"
She was so angry that she wanted to draw her sword, but Ziqin stopped her again!"Don't mess around!"
Yun Yao stomped her feet again and again, threw the sword on the ground, she had never suffered such a grievance, she obviously helped him, but she was still said to be fooling around, secretly hiding to the side, secretly wiping her tears. Good you are tall, I helped you and protected you in vain, and your conscience was eaten by dogs!
Xiao Ran was silent on the side, it was the most inappropriate time to interject at this time! He found that the fox in his arms suddenly became restless, and there was a "squeaking" sound from afar.
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a flock of big bird-like things flying densely in the sky, and the speed was extremely fast. When they flew in a little more, they found that they were swarms of bats, but the number of heads and numbers was a bit of a problem.
Feng Wuniang was the first to notice it, and instantly released her true qi, and shouted: "It's not good! It's a yin bat! Brother, brother! The true qi you just now has summoned all the yin bats!"
Xiao Ran's scalp tingled, and a bad premonition went straight to his head from the backbone of his back. What can make Feng Wuniang so nervous is absolutely extraordinary.
Yun Yao ran over from the side, her face was pale, and even she felt it.
Feng Wuniang saw that she stood in front of Ziqin without hesitation, protecting him, her eyes were slightly red, and she said softly: "Childe, you have to know how to cherish it!"
Ziqin didn't know what Feng Wuniang meant, and at the moment of life and death, he didn't care what she said, pulled Xiao Ran down to his side, and gave him the mysterious package handed over to him by Daoist Yunxu.
After a while, bats the size of a man swept down and hung upside down on the branches of the surrounding trees, squeaking and squeaking, and a strong fishy smell came to the nose. They stared at them with eyes as big as brass bells, and saw them as prey.
Yin bats are constantly flying from the sky, and the entire forest is full of fluffy monsters with big mouths, like a forest of yin bats. The yin bat made a squeaky sound, and the soul came, and everyone only felt a splitting headache, the sky was spinning, and the qi and blood were reversed!
Feng Wuniang said: "The Yin Bat is a poison raised by the Miao people, specializing in devouring the essence and blood of the cultivators, and the squeaky cry has the power of the soul, so you must guard your mind!"
Xiao Ran is not a cultivator, he doesn't know how to keep his luck and guard his heart, so he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground! Ziqin hurriedly instilled a part of his true qi into Xiao Ran, and wow, he also spit out a mouthful of blood, but he still didn't care about it.
Xiao Ran didn't cultivate, if he hadn't protected his mind with his true qi, in a few moments, he would have his internal organs burst and die!
There were more and more yin bats around, hanging upside down on the branches of the trees, and after a while, with a snap, the branches broke, and the yin bats suddenly became restless, and frantically ragged towards them!
The yin bats were abnormally hungry, their mouths were wide open, and their saliva flowed, and when they saw that the food was irrational, they rushed over, knocking the trees into pieces, and the smoke and dust were billowing all around, and even ignored their companions, tearing the companions who were in front of them in half.
The hair and flesh of the yin bat fell off one after another, and the smell of blood was disgusting.
Ziqin retracted his true qi, took out all the exorcism runes in the package, and covered the fainting Xiao Ran with an exorcism talisman, and the falling Yin Bat corpse touched the golden light cover held up by the charm, and the thunderbolt snapped, and white smoke came out.
Ziqin hurriedly said: "Senior sister, set up a formation!"
Yun Yao nodded. The two stepped on the seven stars, side by side, the charm in Ziqin's hand flew up on its own, burning in mid-air, looking from a distance, it looked like a burning gossip array, the charm was supported at each node of the gossip array, and the Xuan array expanded violently, protecting Feng Wuniang and Xiao Ran together.
"Your broken paper is quite powerful!" Feng Wuniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't expect that these Taoist things would really be useful at a critical moment.
Yun Yao snorted coldly: "Aren't you very capable, go out and kill all these bats, can you hide in my formation?"
"I'm in Brother Ziqin's formation!
Yun Yao was stubborn and didn't want to pay attention to Feng Wuniang, but she was still angry in her heart, and she wanted to leave her in the group of yin bats outside.
The Yin Bat swarm slammed into the Bagua Array, and as soon as it touched the periphery of the formation, it was torn apart by the power of the Exorcism Spell, and the surrounding blood rained down, and the ground was already stained with stumps, broken bones, and flesh and blood!
Yun Yao gritted her teeth and said, "These bats are endless!"
The corpses of the Yin Bat were piled up like a mountain, and the Bagua Array blocked the corpses outside, only to feel that the sky above was gradually darkening.
When they looked up, they saw that the corpses were densely covered, covering the entire gossip array. Ziqin and Yun Yao suddenly softened under their feet, and the gossip array was shaky. The number of Yin Bats was far greater than they had imagined, and their mana could not be maintained at all.
The corpses of the Yin Bat kept depositing, more and more, and heavier, so that they were about to suffocate. Ziqin and Yun Yao's faces turned pale, and blood slid down the corners of their mouths, obviously reaching their limit.
Feng Wuniang glanced at the terrible picture of blurred flesh and blood, and was terrified, how disgusting it would be if she was buried by this smelly corpse. She used her true qi to move her true qi, and each palm pointed towards one person, instilling true qi into their bodies, and the originally dim magic circle lit up again. Feng Wuniang wowed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and laughed miserably: "I just die!
They felt that they couldn't breathe because of the pressure of a thousand pounds of boulders in their hearts, their minds roared, and after a whirlwind, they no longer had the physical strength and mana to maintain the magic circle. All three of them collapsed and fainted.
The magic circle burst with a bang, and the power of the exorcism rune exploded instantly, suddenly blasting the sea of corpses, and after a period of calm, the corpses fell all over the sky and re-piled up.
Feng Wuniang, Ziqin, and Yun Yao lost consciousness and lay on the ground. Countless Yin Bat swooped down frantically, squeaking, and after a while, they were surrounded by a swarm of Yin Bat and began to be devoured and devoured.
Suddenly, a clear light tore a hole in the yin bat group, flew out, and took the opportunity to escape. Vaguely a stunning woman with a man, flying away. This man was none other than Xiao Ran, but his arm had been bitten by a yin bat, and it was dripping with dark green liquid, and it was extremely fishy.
