Chapter 3: The Movement of the Dragon's Breath Forest
Early in the morning, Tianji City, the Qin family's house, Qin Naichuan stood at the door of the Qin family's military hall.
Qin Naichuan had his third and only son last night, and his father had already chosen a name for this child - Qin Tianxin. Breathing in the fresh air, Qin Nagawa was in a good mood. Just then, a soldier strode from the right.
"Report! There was an unusual movement in the Longxi Forest at nightfall yesterday, and General Meng had already gone to investigate the specific situation last night, and specially ordered me to come and report to the marshal. ”
"Well, what exactly did you find?"
"Qiqi City Lord, according to the local people's accounts, last night the Dragon's Breath Forest was shining in the sky, accompanied by bursts of roars, like wolves and tigers, for an hour, and then nothing special happened. In addition, this morning, more than a dozen bodies were found in the interior of the forest, twenty miles from the exit. There are only two causes of death, several masked people in black robes died by swords, all of them died with a sword piercing the heart, and the other people were also dressed in the same way, dark green robes, with the word "sword" printed on the back, all of them died of blood all over their bodies. ”
After listening to the news brought by the soldiers of the great general Meng Tian, Qin Naichuan couldn't help frowning and fell into thought. The reason for the change in the Dragon's Breath Forest is unknown, but those corpses with the word "sword" printed on their backs, Qin Naichuan knows that they come from the largest sect near the east coast, the Sword Tomb. And why did they die in blood? And who were those black-robed and masked corpses? I am afraid that there is no answer for a while.
"Okay, I got that. If you go back now and pass on my order, let General Meng continue to investigate, and always pay attention to the movements of the Dragon's Breath Forest, and tighten the sentry guards, so as not to be found by the barbarians, then it will be a big deal. It's hard work, go down. ”
After sending the soldiers away, Qin Naichuan thought for a while, but couldn't think of any results. Then, Qin Naichuan ordered someone to summon Wubo and asked him to tell the previous head of the Qin family, that is, Qin Naichuan's own father, Qin Jueyan, about the birth of the child last night. After Qin Jueyan's fiftieth birthday, he handed over the position of head of the family and the city lord to Qin Naichuan, and went to retreat in a mountain outside Tianji City, devoting his body and mind to cultivation, and no longer paying attention to the big and small things in the city. Wubo went every three days to send him something, and in the entire Qin family, only Wubo was able to see him.
The northernmost part of the Dragon's Breath Forest, beyond the Meilan River, is the territory of the barbarians. On the land between the Longxi Forest and the Meilan River, because the war has stopped, many people live, forming five or six small towns. In these villages, some sturdy hunters go to the Dragon's Breath Forest every morning to check if the traps they have set have caught any prey, and to repair the broken traps. Early in the morning, several hunters were walking together to the Dragon's Breath Forest, and along the way, a few people were laughing and laughing, but they were quite leisurely. Suddenly, a hunter seemed to notice something unusual, and poked his head to the left to take a closer look.
"Look, what's there?"
Several hunters walked over and found a baby who had been placed under a large tree on the side of the road. The baby had apparently not been born for long, and was wrapped in a clean hide, the origin of which the hunters could not tell. At this time, the baby is not crying, but looking at the sky with small eyes, as if looking at the world.
Just as several hunters were surprised and didn't know what to do, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew in front of them, and several of them fainted. After the wind passed, a man in a mink fur coat appeared, and the man stood straight next to the baby, looking very burly. The man had brownish-yellow hair, a rosy face, blood and blood, and a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, apparently having just experienced a big battle. He picked up the baby on the ground, glanced at the Dragon's Breath Forest from a distance, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned his head and strode away.
After a while, several hunters woke up, looked at the others, and then looked under the tree, where the baby was long gone. Several people felt that they had run into evil spirits, and they didn't dare to go to the Dragon's Breath Forest anymore, so they turned around one after another and walked the way they came.
Who is that man? Of course, the simple hunter didn't know, and what surprised several hunters even more was yet to come.
The man held the baby in his arms and walked all the way to a deserted place on the bank of the river. The man adjusted his breath, and then, seeing him take a long breath, kick the ground with his left foot, and sweep towards the river. So wide that no matter how good his eyesight is, he can't see the Meilan River on the other side, this man actually chose to cross the river by his own cultivation, which surprised people with his rare skills in the world, and at the same time, he became even more curious about his identity.
Before the fog on the river had dissipated, the man tapped the water twice on his toes and disappeared into the vast river mist. Although the man's identity seems mysterious, one thing is known, since he chose to cross the river, he must have gone to the barbarians......
