Chapter 33: The Mysterious Man in White
said that it was too late and that was fast, seeing that Qiao Ruyan was about to fall into the world, a good Ji Yanling, worthy of being a master of the Liuhe period. I saw that the speed of her sword had accelerated, and it had surpassed Qiao Ruyan's falling/falling speed. When Ji Yanling overtook Qiao Ruyan, he stretched out his hand, grabbed her waist, and hugged her in his arms. Qiao Ruyan's face turned pale with fright, her eyes were closed, and her lips kept shaking. It seems that this false alarm frightened Qiao Ruyan.
With a loud bang, Ji Yanling looked up, and it turned out to be the sword of Fang Cai Xuanyuan Puchen, which not only injured the big bird's leg, but also wounded its left wing. The big bird lost its balance and slammed into the ground crookedly, listening to the movement, it was estimated that it would not survive.
Qiao Ruyan felt that her body was no longer falling, and slowly opened her eyes to see the familiar face of her mother. I couldn't control my emotions for a while, and I sobbed quietly.
"Alright, Yan'er, it's okay. Ji Yanling whispered to comfort the woman, and controlled the flying sword to land.
The little fat man didn't care about the life or death of the big bird, and strode to meet Ji Yanling's mother and daughter who came from the sky and landed slowly. After the flying sword stopped, Ji Yanling and Qiao Ruyan stepped down from the long sword.
"Master, ......" The little fat man called Ji Yanling, and when he saw that Qiao Ruyan was safe and sound, his hanging heart was completely relaxed.
Ji Yanling nodded slightly and did not speak. Qiao Ruyan looked at the little fat man and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, you will be left with yourself in the future, you must hold on!"
Although Qiao Ruyan said it with a smile, the little fat man could already see that she was forcing a smile. The tears on his face have not been wiped away, and there is a feeling of pear blossoms bringing spring rain. makes people look at it, and there is an inexplicable sourness in their hearts.
The little fat man nodded vigorously, and spit out a word in his mouth: "Hmm!" as if the promise of thousands of words had been condensed into this essence. This "um" word comes from the heart of the little fat man. At this moment, he was already determined in his heart that in the next few days, no matter how difficult and difficult, he would never easily ignite the signal arrow. If nothing else, just to fulfill the hope that the four of them shared. It is also to fulfill the expectations of the master and the mother, and the entrustment of the entire Fairy Sword Villa.
Well, after finishing this word, the little fat man seemed to have all his strength taken away, and looked at Ji Yanling's mother and daughter with blank eyes, unable to say a word.
"Hey, Chubby, it's all you left with now, and you have to be more careful. If you encounter this kind of red-eyed golden eagle again, when it pounces on you, cut off its wings or claws first" Ji Yanling did not forget to teach Xiaopang earnestly before leaving.
Xiaopang nodded, and watched Ji Yanling's mother and daughter take off into the air. In order not to disturb the conversation between the three of them, Xuanyuan Puchen's three uncles and uncles did not come over, and kept waiting for Ji Yanling in the air. Seeing Ji Yanling's mother and daughter coming, they went away with the sword.
The little fat man looked at Ji Yanling's mother and daughter and the three seniors of Fulong Valley in the distance, until he couldn't see them, then he sighed and retracted his gaze. The little fat man's eyes fell on the big bird, and he remembered that the master said that it was called "Red Eye Golden Eagle". Thinking of Qiao Ruyan's fright, thinking of it, Qiao Ruyan also lost his qualifications, the little fat man was angry, picked up the treasure knife thrown on the ground, and walked towards the big bird with full of anger.
When he got closer, the little fat man saw that the red-eyed golden eagle fell/fell from the sky, and the head of the hit broke and bled out, and he had already died. I saw this golden eagle, all over his body, full of golden feathers. If it spreads its wings, it is about three feet long, no wonder at that time, the little fat man had a feeling of covering the sky and the sun. Looking at this golden eagle again, the eyes that are dead and blinding are actually that fiery red color. Only then did the little fat man understand why its name was "Akame Golden Eagle".
The little fat man was eager to eat the skin of this golden eagle to relieve the hatred in his heart. Now I don't know why, and suddenly I can't hate it again. The law of nature is the law of nature. The death of the Akame Golden Eagle only proves that it is only a weakling, a weak person who has been eliminated by the laws of nature. The little fat man thought of himself, if he wanted not to be eliminated by the laws of nature, he had to work hard to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. Thinking of this, the little fat man's heart ignited endless fighting spirit. It was as if the lost strength was instantly back on his body. The little fat man took one last look at the red-eyed golden eagle, sighed faintly, carried the treasure knife, and strode towards the depths of the Black Evil Forest.
The little fat man was left alone, and he endured the loneliness and fear in his heart, overcoming obstacles all the way, and continued the journey of trial. Fortunately, I entered the forest and did not encounter a "stewardess"-level bird of prey like the Akame Golden Eagle again. Because the branches and leaves of the forest are thinned and the clouds cover the sun, large birds of prey cannot spread their wings if they want to fly. There are only a few small birds such as yellow finches, which can only be seen in the woods. However, these little birds are not lethal to the little fat man. Fierce beasts such as poisonous snakes, tigers, and large spiders do not seem to be active in this forest. The further you go inside, the more silent you feel. The more silent it was, the more uneasy the little fat man's heart became. There is a vague feeling in my heart that this is a sign of a storm.
I don't know how long I walked, but it was getting dark. The little fat man was worried that a wild beast would come and take him away at night, so he gathered a large pile of dry wood and piled it up beside a boulder. These firewoods are enough for the little fat man to burn for one day and one night, and they can't be burned.
The little fat man lit a firewood beside the boulder, a roaring flame that lit up the night, which was about to go dark. Looking at the beating flames, the fear and loneliness in the little fat man's heart only decreased a little. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky! With such a thought, the little fat man took out the roast cake and sauced beef from his backpack. After the roast is hot, you will eat a bite of the grilled cake with the sauced beef, and then drink the cool spring water in the bamboo tube. I suddenly felt that the fatigue of this day was gone, and there was a great feeling of vividness.
After eating and drinking, the little fat man added to the flames and leaned his back against the big rock. Listening to the sound of insects chirping near and wolf howling in the distance, the little fat man didn't dare to take it lightly. Although he was angry now, he didn't dare to lie down and fall asleep, he was afraid that some beast would attack him while he was asleep. So, the little fat man held the Qiushui Yanling knife in his arms, ready to close his eyes and take a nap. Who knows, this day has passed, my heart is tired, and as soon as I close my eyes, I will fall asleep and die. If a poisonous snake and beast come over now, it will swallow the little fat man without much effort.
The little fat man was in a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he felt that a light was shining through the trees and reaching his eyes, so that he couldn't open his eyes. It turned out that they had slept all night, and now that it was dawn, the bonfire had long since burned out and extinguished itself. The little fat man was secretly glad that he was not attacked by jackals, tigers and leopards. He stretched his waist and had just stood up, when suddenly, his heart was pounding, and the little fat man saw a man sitting on this big rock behind him.
"Mother!" the little fat man screamed in fright, as if he had seen a ghost, and jumped three feet back on the ground, his eyes fixed on the man sitting on the big rock. I saw that the man, about thirty years old, was dressed in white, his face was pale, and he could not see any expression. If he had seen him last night, the little fat man would have thought he was a mandrill ghost. However, the shadow under him seemed to have told the little fat man that the man in white in front of him was a living person.
The little fat man glanced at him, and immediately became angry. This man silently approached the place where he slept, and it was okay to encroach on his own territory. What made the little fat man unacceptable was that the man was holding his own weapon, the Qiushui Yanling Knife. The little fat man remembers clearly, when he went to bed last night, the Qiushui Yanling knife was obviously tightly held in his arms. It must have been this man in white, who quietly took it away while he was sleeping.
The little fat man glanced at the man in white and asked him loudly, "Hey, why did you take my weapon?"
As for why the little fat man dared to ask that person in a rough voice, the little fat man had already thought about it in his heart. If this person wanted to murder himself, he could have gotten the Qiushui Yanling knife and killed himself with one sword. It's just that he doesn't want to kill, he can sneak away quietly, so that the little fat man loses the treasure knife, and there is no way to find it. Now, the man in white in front of him did not kill the little fat man, but did not slip away quietly. This shows that the man in white is not disgusted with the little fat man, and he will not covet his weapons. It was precisely because of these two points that the little fat man became bold.
The man in white didn't answer the little fat man's question, he didn't brow too much, and his hand gently stroked the Qiushui Yanling Knife, as if he was muttering to himself: "The Qiushui Yanling Knife, which has been missing for hundreds of years, actually appeared in your hand." It seems that your origin is not simple!"
The little fat man straightened his belly, raised his chin high, and said loudly: "Of course my origin is not simple! Listen, I will report your name, don't scare you into peeing your pants!"
The man was not moved by Chubby's words, neither pleased nor angry, as if he had not heard Chubby's words.
"Ahem. The little fat man continued: "I am the youngest disciple of the master of Qiao Yuan in the West Garden of Xianjian Villa, and Zhu Xiaopang is also!" After speaking, Zhu Xiaopang looked at the man proudly, expecting to see him so frightened that he crawled over and nodded to himself.
Unexpectedly, the man listened to Zhu Xiaopang's words, just sighed softly, and said expressionlessly: "It turns out that Qiao Huacheng's apprentice." With this understatement, he stopped saying a word, and continued to stroke the chubby autumn water goose knife.
The little fat man saw that the man no longer cared about himself, and he felt a little embarrassed to be sunburned. The little fat man's heart was crossed, and he strode up to the man, and said loudly, "Give me back the sword!"
