Chapter Twenty-Three: Black Wind Mountain
Yiqin's pharmacy has Ye Hang's help, and it is much easier, but the strange thing is that there are a lot of injured people recently, many young people who go up the mountain to collect medicine or hunt have been attacked by fierce beasts, although there are no fatalities, but there are many serious injuries.
Taoyuan Village is surrounded by mountains, and there is a group of mountains called Black Wind Mountain to the south of the village. This mountain group is densely wooded, and a terrifying black mist fills the depths of the mountain forest all day long, but the periphery is rich in herbs, and even one or two rare elixirs occasionally appear. The most important thing is that lucky people can occasionally pick up some Yuan Qi Stones, for the martial arts here, there is no good exercise to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so for them, Yuan Qi Stones are very precious things, because Yuan Qi Stones are easier to absorb and improve their cultivation, so Black Wind Mountain has always been a place for young people in this village to practice.
Although fierce beasts have always been seen in the mountains, they rarely hurt people. Because most people are only on the periphery, only a brave warrior like Xiang Erhu and a good cultivator dare to go deeper, but because of Erhu's recklessness, he is often injured, but fortunately, there is not much danger.
But recently, it seems that many fierce beasts have been added to the periphery of Black Wind Mountain, causing many people to be injured. Yi Qin heard the people who came to treat the injuries say, the periphery of Black Wind Mountain has been very strange recently, and he has encountered a lot of powerful beasts, although the beasts will not have too strong power before entering the demon, but the beasts are also strong and weak, and the powerful beasts are even comparable to the strong people in the realm of the Martial Sect.
The beasts that are commonly seen on the periphery of Black Wind Mountain are just some beasts that are quite similar to the realm of martial artists, and the strongest ones only have the strength of low-level warriors. Therefore, for the young people in the village, it does not constitute a mortal threat, most of the young people in the village also have the cultivation of four or five level martial artists, and the stronger Xiang Erhu has the cultivation of seven or eight level martial artists, of course, there are also a few ninth-level martial artists, but even those few ninth-level martial artists dare not say that they are more powerful than the second tiger, the second tiger seems to be born with divine power, and when they fight, they are as fierce as a real tiger, and their strength is infinite.
Hearing that there was something unusual on the periphery of Black Wind Mountain, the village chief hurriedly organized a group of young and powerful martial cultivators to prepare to go up the mountain to investigate. Erhu naturally volunteered to go, and Ye Hang also volunteered to participate when he heard about this incident.
Although the people in the village had some doubts about Ye Hang's arrival, they didn't look like a bad guy when they saw him, and they got along well for a while, knowing that Ye Hang was seriously injured when he came, and it hadn't been more than ten days, and seeing that he was so young, he shouldn't have much cultivation, so he hurriedly persuaded him kindly: "Young man, your body hasn't recovered yet, the demon beasts of the Black Wind Mountain are entrenched, and it's very dangerous, so you still don't want to go." ”
Ye Hang knew that the village chief was kind, but he was a peak martial artist, and he would not be as good as these young people in the realm of martial artists. But he still said respectfully: "Don't worry, village chief, my injuries have basically recovered, I have the cultivation of a ninth-level martial artist, and there is no problem with self-defense." What's more, I have been taken care of by everyone, and I should do a little bit. He didn't say the true cultivation, because the martial arts cultivation here was generally low, and the cultivation of his peak martial artist was indeed a bit terrifying.
The young people on the side couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Ye Hang say that he had the cultivation of a ninth-level martial artist, and they were envious, seeing that Ye Hang looked a year or two younger than them, and there was actually a ninth-level martial artist's cultivation, which really made them unexpected.
The village chief said with some concern: "But..."
Before he could finish speaking, Erhu's big voice blocked the village chief's words: "Village chief, you can't do it, don't worry, even if you encounter danger, I will protect Brother Ye Hang." A big hand patted his chest and promised.
The village chief sighed, and had to reluctantly instruct: "Then you should be careful in everything, if you encounter any irresistible dangers, flee quickly, as long as you flee back to the village, it will be safe." ”
More than a dozen young people around the age of twenty in this group nodded in agreement, but Erhu didn't care, as if he was not afraid of the so-called danger of Black Wind Mountain, walked to Ye Hang's side, patted Ye Hang's shoulder with a pair of big hands and said, "Brother Ye Hang, don't worry, I will definitely protect you." The second tiger said with a big grin, completely ignoring Ye Hang's statement that he was a ninth-level martial artist just now.
The group packed up simple food and weapons, and was ready to set off, just when they walked to the entrance of the village in the south, and when they were about to enter the mountain, a familiar doll voice came from behind: "Big brother... Big brother... You wait for me. ”
When everyone heard the voice, they turned around and saw Xiao Yu'er, who was wearing a red cloth dress, running towards them panting, holding a long wooden box in her hand, as if it was very heavy, and she was very reluctant to hold it in her arms.
Ye Hang also laughed when he saw this little girl who saved his life, and only when she ran in front of him did he ask, "Xiao Yu'er, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yu'er's cheeks were flushed, drops of sweat were dripping, and she said breathlessly: "I... I....am here to give... I'll send you something. As he spoke, he held the long wooden box in his arms and sent it to Ye Hang.
Ye Hang took it strangely, opened it and saw that it was a sharp long sword, the whole body was silver and white, the sword was more than three feet long, extremely sharp, and the cold was pressing. Look at it and you know it's not ordinary.
Xiao Yu'er relieved herself and explained: "I heard that you were going up the mountain, so I hurriedly stole Grandpa's sword and sent it to you, but your injuries are not healed yet, and you have no weapons, so I sent you weapons." After saying that, he asked with an innocent smile, "How is it? This sword is good, right?"
When Ye Hang heard this, he was moved, he took out the sword, held it in his hand, and a cold breath permeated his whole body, he gave birth to an ice spirit root after taking the Ice Soul Transformation Spirit Pill, so it was very consistent with this sword.
After thinking about it, he put it back in the box, returned it to Xiao Yu'er, and said, "Xiao Yu'er, thank you for your kindness, I don't need to use a sword, you better take it back, otherwise you should be scolded." ”
Xiao Yu'er hurriedly said: "No, no... You must bring ,... Otherwise, something happened to you, and Sister Yichen should be sad. "Children are innocent and immaculate, and they don't shy away from anything.
Ye Hang was embarrassed for a while, but finally took the sword, wrapped it in a cloth and carried it on his back, and Xiao Yu'er returned to the village with the empty box in her heart.
Ye Hang smiled bitterly for a while, and Erhu stepped forward and quipped: "Alas~ It seems that brother, I have no hope." Erhu's words naturally refer to Yiqin, but the words are bright and fair, without the slightest emotion of jealousy.
There were also a few other people whose sad emotions were not hidden at all, and Ye Hang hurriedly explained: "Erhu, don't talk nonsense, I have a wife, not to mention that Miss Yiqin just treats me as a friend." ”
Erhu doesn't care, and everyone won't be troubled because of this little thing, the people here are generally very simple, and it is difficult to have malice towards others.
Ye Hang was helpless, knowing that they didn't believe it, so he didn't say anything anymore, and followed the team to Black Wind Mountain.
When he arrived at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, Ye Hang knew that this mountain was tall and majestic, the top of the mountain was straight into the clouds, and he couldn't see the top of the mountain, and half of the mountain was surrounded by a strange black mist, which looked very weird.
Seeing Ye Hang looking at the place surrounded by black mist, Erhu hurriedly said: "Brother Ye Hang, although there is not much danger on the periphery of this Black Wind Mountain, there is an ancestor who said that you must not go to the depths of the Black Wind Mountain, otherwise it will bring a devastating disaster to the village." Word of mouth has been passed down for thousands of years, and even I don't have the courage to break this ban. ”
Ye Hang nodded, and after a while, a group of people went up the mountain.
