Volume 1 Jianghu Chapter 38 Fierce Beasts

It's late at night, the wind is blowing outside, the tornado ghost is crying wolf, although the basement is sealed around, but it is old, there are many places where there are gaps, the desert wind blows into the basement from the gaps, the fire flickers and dims, and the grease looks almost burned out, and the down-and-out rangers are still sleeping in the corner sweetly, but it seems to be a little cold by the wind and sand blowing in from the gaps, so he subconsciously curled up, not far from him are the three masked women who were the last to enter the basement, and at this moment the faint firelight is shining on the three people and pulling the shadow of the elder。 Although there was not much wind blowing in, Zhang Mingyue still subconsciously hugged her clothes, only feeling a burst of hair behind her back.

"Not people?

"I don't know. ”

Sima Yun's fingers kept drawing circles on the thick layer of yellow sand, repeating that action all the time.

"It's really suspicious to think about it carefully, no one in this desert would be so stupid as to walk around about to change the sky, especially women, don't you think it's a little strange? Think about it again, when the three of us came to this Western Chu from the Northern Wei Dynasty, did we see people in the seven or eight days when we passed through the desert? I didn't even have a flying bird, but at this moment, so many suddenly appeared. ”

"Tatar is a thousand miles away from here, to say the least, how could the Tatars come to this desert? Who are these three women? Why are they still wandering in the desert so late at night. ”

After Sima Yun said this, not only Zhang Mingyue, but even Wu Tu beat a chilling cicada, but the old man was always unwavering, and the sword box on his body did not move.

"Could it be a ghost? I've never heard of ghosts and shadows. ”

Wu Tu forcibly gave himself courage, and he also lost a lot of people, otherwise if there were really few people under this flickering desert, he would be scared away by Sima Yun's words if he couldn't keep it.

"We don't know if it's a ghost or not, as long as they don't come to provoke us, there really are still ghosts in this world who can resist the old man's sword? No matter how powerful these three women are, they will not be more powerful than the evil Jiao who has cultivated and achieved enlightenment in Yanming Mountain for hundreds of years. Isn't that reasonable?"

Sima Yun smiled, and the old man finally couldn't help but speak, he said leisurely.

"The old man has lived for such a long time, and he has seen a lot of monsters, and the evil Jiao can only be regarded as one of them, but he has never seen a ghost, and no matter whether the three of her are human beings or ghosts, it doesn't threaten the old man, but then again, Zhang Xiaozi should have brought the down-and-out boy over, here the kid is the closest to those female babies, look at the Tatar expression, even if this woman is not a ghost, it must not be a good character to deal with, for the sake of safety, it is better to bring it over. ”

"The old man doesn't believe in evil, but he also knows the truth of helping people to the end and sending Buddha to the west. ”

Seeing that the old man said so, Zhang Mingyue had to bite the bullet even if he had no bottom in his heart, just because the down-and-out ranger looked too pitiful, if he really met the ghostly ghost, at least there was an old man sitting here, so he stood up and walked towards the down-and-out ranger in the corner, this action was naturally seen by all the people in the basement, the group of Tatars were extremely excited, and they said words that they didn't understand, but they didn't need to listen to it to know that the meaning was nothing more than not to let Zhang Mingyue pass, but the more this group of Tatars was like this, the more determined he was to bring the crown ranger over。

This action was seen in the eyes of the three women who covered their faces with silk scarves, they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they couldn't tell their ages, but they could see that although the three women were in the dust, they were also bumpy and convex, Zhang Mingyue and himself were bold, and the relics of the Buddhist saints given by the young sweeping monks of Jiuhua Mountain had been pierced by him and hung on his chest, so he touched his chest, and his heart said that there is this thing in charge, how can I be afraid of your demons?

I thought I would say hello or say a word to those women, but I didn't expect the process to be extremely smooth, except for those Tatars who seemed to be on the verge of madness and shouted hysterically to him, but unfortunately I didn't understand, and if I didn't understand Lao Tzu, there was nothing to care about, Zhang Mingyue had confidence in her heart, and walked close and patted the body of the down-and-out ranger, but she slept very soundly, and she had no choice but to pinch him, and the crown ranger immediately sat up with his head and scolded angrily.

"Who's fucking sick, isn't it? It hurts Lao Tzu to death, ouch. Perhaps he had just woken up and his mind was not clear enough, and when he opened his eyes again, he directly ignored the young man with the knife beside him, and looked directly at the three women who came in at some point.

"Yo, when did these girls come in? Why don't I know, I said you kid too, why don't you say hello to me in advance when a beautiful woman comes." ”

The down-and-out ranger unceremoniously patted Zhang Mingyue on the shoulder, no matter how good Zhang Mingyue's heart was, he had to be so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he immediately lost his breath.

"Don't you know when someone else comes in? Also, don't bite a bite of your boy, you kid, I'm not very familiar with you, I'm only responsible for waking you up, and then you can do it yourself. ”

After Zhang Mingyue finished saying this seemingly straightforward but actually obscure sentence, she returned to the place where the old man and the three of them were, and when she passed in front of the three women, she still secretly glanced at them, her complexion was a little pale, and there were no weapons on her body, but she couldn't see anything else. If they have no weapons, why should they be so taboo among the Tatars? Although Zhang Mingyue has never fought each other, she can also see that there are many powerful people among this group of Tatars with men and women, among them, there is one who wields a scimitar, it is really a little weird, Zhang Mingyue sat down on the spot, Wu Santai immediately came over, his expression was tense, he lowered his voice and asked if he had observed anything, Zhang Mingyue shook his head slightly, but the corner of his eyes went towards the three women, who knew that the three women did not shy away from facing him directly, and Zhang Mingyue only felt that he was stared at by three cold poisonous snakes, and he couldn't help but shiver, and his whole body was cold。 What a powerful woman, just a glance can make people so, even if it's not a ghost, I'm afraid it's not much weaker than a ghost, I thought that the down-and-out ranger would find out that something was wrong after he woke up, who would have thought that the first thing that guy did after waking up was to stick it to the three women, and it was really fearless who didn't know.

The down-and-out ranger patted the yellow sand on his body, brushed his hair and put on what he thought was the most handsome pose.

"The three girls are still walking in the desert so late, is it because they can't hurry?"

It's just that the three women didn't want to deal with him, so he continued to ask cheekily.

"The three girls don't look at the tattered and sloppy clothes worn by Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a real person, let me introduce myself first, my name is Gu Yue, I don't know what the names of the three girls are and where they are from. ”

However, the three women still did not move, which made the gang of robbers laugh, and the corresponding Tatars were frightened, just as Zhang Mingyue and a few people were waiting for the down-and-out ranger to make further moves, the tornado of the desert became more and more violent and even faintly close at hand, saying that it was too late and that was fast, but after a few breaths, the entire basement could not be suppressed, and everyone was shocked, and the robber woman changed her face instantly.

"Oops, I'm afraid this tornado is going to pass through here. ”

This place has been buried by wind and sand for many years, although it is the safest place nearby, but due to the age, all the cracks in the upper layer of yellow sand were exposed after being swept away by the storm, and it is initially estimated that there are no less than thirty or fifty places. Where can the down-and-out ranger named Gu Yue still care about hooking up with the three women, and subconsciously screamed and hid in that corner, but after three or five breaths, he could already feel the terrible movement outside, as if he was going to sweep away the entire ancient city, and finally, the last fire that burned without grease was also extinguished, and the entire basement was instantly pitch black, Zhang Mingyue subconsciously hugged the old man Sima Yunwu Tu and the four of them.

"Oh no, this place is going to be swept away. ”

Sima Yun shouted loudly, the sound was vague in the wind, Zhang Mingyue clasped the old man's right arm with one hand, grabbed Wu Tu with one hand, and Wu Tu grabbed Sima Yun with one hand.

"Run. ”

In the darkness of the night, I don't know who shouted, and all the horses and camels in the basement went crazy and collided in all directions, and I don't know how many robbers and Tatars were injured by the trampling.

Zhang Mingyue has a knife in his chest, in the dark night people only have the knife in their hands is the most reliable, at this time the ancient city above the basement has been swept away, the basement is still struggling to support, but everyone knows that once swept away, the next is the catastrophe, the robbers and the Tatars are silently praying, but in the end it was uncovered by the tornado.

"Run. ”

Sima Yun shouted, not waiting for the roof of the basement to be lifted, the sword box behind the old man trembled, a cold light flashed in the night, and the boulder blocking the entrance was immediately split by this domineering sword, and the four of them quickly rushed out to avoid the center point of the desert tornado, and the down-and-out ranger quickly followed, followed by the Tatars and robbers, but unfortunately the last robbers ran out, but twenty or thirty people, the rest were tornadoed and the basement roof was rolled into the sky, along with all the horses, only a dragon at least two or three zhang wide was seen in the dark night is wantonly destroying everything in this desert, and the four know that this is definitely not the end, In addition to the people and horses who were swept away, the tornado is quite intensifying, and what is even more terrifying is that there are actually two yellow dragons, which are rare twin tornadoes, I thought that there was hope to escape from the basement, but I didn't expect to be forced into the middle of the two tornadoes, this is really a big trouble, the woman who was hugged by Sima Yun's waist was desperate, encountered this double tornado, I am afraid that even the gods in the sky may not be able to escape, originally more than a hundred brothers only left the last twenty or thirty people, and the group of Tatars is a lot, thunderclouds roll above the nine heavens, and from time to time a silver snake lights up the entire desert, Zhang Mingyue suddenly turned pale after quickly looking at the people who ran out.

"Did any of you see those three women?"

"I saw it, they were right behind Lao Tzu. ”

The down-and-out ranger immediately said that after the old man split the boulder with a sword, he was the second group to rush out, and the third group was the three women closest to the entrance, but when he turned his head to look, there were still those three women.

"This ...... Could they have been swept away by the wind?"

Gu Yue was a little unsure, he was sure that he would not be mistaken.

"Probably not, they are caught between us, even if they are swept away, it shouldn't just be that they are swept away, could it be that they are really ghosts?"

Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but think of Sima Yun's sentence again, they are not people.

"It doesn't matter if they're humans or ghosts, it doesn't matter to us, I know we're going to be ghosts. ”

The robber woman said in despair, not far away was the second tornado that was overwhelming, seeing that the formation was even bigger than the first one, there was no way to avoid it, and the dozens of Tatars probably gave up, and one by one they collapsed on the ground with depressed faces.

"I never thought that it would be such a way to die, I wish this was my Central Plains Baijian Mountain, if there was the third son of the Meng family, maybe he could also use the land immortal method to create a desert tornado to compete with these two tornadoes. ”

Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but recall those days in the Central Plains of the Northern Wei Dynasty, thinking that although Western Chu was not as rich as the Central Plains, at least it would not be far behind.

"It is said that people are dying and their words are good, and birds are dying and their songs are also mourning, old fox, there is something I want to keep talking to you. ”

Perhaps knowing that there was no hope of escaping, Zhang Mingyue followed the Tatar example and sat directly on the yellow sand, no longer in the center of the tornado, although there was a lot of wind and sand, it was no longer so strong.

"I'm afraid that the money I owe you can only be repaid in the next life, and the old man, I'm really sorry, I pulled your old man to this hellish place, if the old man you have never met me, maybe the two of them are at ease now, alas......"

"Stinky boy. ”

Sima Yun kicked Zhang Mingyue heavily, and the latter grinned in pain.

"Where are you giving up now? Look over there. ”

Sima Yun pointed in one direction towards Zhang Mingyue, only to see that at the end of his eyes, the tornado passed, and with the help of the lightning from time to time above the nine heavens, he could clearly see a huge deep pit, black and dark, and more like a cave. Before, maybe everyone was too affectionate and didn't find this place at all, but now Sima Yunyi said that everyone was overjoyed and saw hope.

"There should be a cave over there, and you should be able to avoid this catastrophe when you get there, without further ado, everyone hurry up and set off, don't be caught up by this tornado behind." ”

Everyone waited for Sima Yun to finish speaking, but halfway through speaking, they all went crazy and moved quickly towards the cave, among which the dozens of Tatars ran the fastest, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"These bastards are really not fucking things, anyway, we are half of their life-saving benefactors, we slipped away without saying hello, I knew that this should not have been put into the basement. ”

Zhang Mingyue scolded angrily while chasing, as if he had forgotten that he had advocated letting people in before, although the robber female leader heard it, there was definitely no extra time to say Zhang Mingyue at the moment, although the old man was already in his prime, he was very good at light skills, otherwise there would not be a young man who flew across the Guangling River, but although the speed of everyone was fast, it was no faster than the huge tornado that followed, and the slowest robbers had been swept into the sky by the wind behind them in despair, not to mention torn to pieces, at least without a complete body。

When I got closer to the dark place, I saw clearly that it was really a cave, this cave appeared in the desert is indeed a little weird, but it must not be so much at the moment, the dozens of Tatars have already rushed in, but when it was Zhang Mingyue's turn and the four of them were about to enter, they were suddenly stopped by Sima Yun.

"No, it's dangerous. ”

The people behind him followed, and they were all stopped by Sima Yun.

"Why don't you let in. ”

The robber woman was furious, and even the silver spear in her hand was aimed at Sima Yun's neck.

"If you want to die, just try it. ”

Sima Yun took out the long knife behind Zhang Mingyue and touched it forward, only to see that a small gap appeared inexplicably at the blade of the long knife.

"This is the Golden Silk of the Western Regions, extremely tough, and even more sharpened like clay, just now if you all rush in, I am afraid that you will immediately end up being dismantled, now I know why I stopped you?"

Sima Yun's face was cold, no one would have thought that this group of Tatars would actually lay such a thing here, let alone how many of them were inside, this was to block everyone outside the cave, the second desert tornado was approaching again, and there were only two roads left in front of Yanran, either to break these golden silks and enter the cave, but everyone knew that it was impossible in a short period of time, or they were swept into the sky by the tornado behind them.

"You guys have ideas, are you really going to die here?"

The robber woman was so anxious that the ants on the hot pan swirled.

"When did we become the masters of this place? If I'm not mistaken, the girl reminded me not long ago that you are the boss of our team. ”

Sima Yun didn't look worried, although her face was a little ugly, the woman didn't give Sima Yun a good face anymore knowing that she was at a loss, and it looked like everyone was dying together.

"Brother Sima, what do you think we should do now? ”

This time it was replaced by Wu Tu Wen, and before they knew it, the rest of the people regarded Sima Yun as the backbone, perhaps because the performance of this green-shirted scholar was too unusual, or maybe it was because Fang Cai, if it weren't for Sima Yun, I am afraid that they would have become minced meat by now.

"Do what you want, we must spend tonight in this cave, because I don't know if there will be a third or fourth tornado, but it will take time to dismantle these golden silks, and this time will be left to us to fight for, woman, you will take your subordinates to dismantle these golden silks as quickly as possible." ”

"How do you buy time? This is a tornado. ”

"You don't need to worry about it, we have our own way, right? ”

Sima Yun turned his head to look at the one-armed little old man who was behind his single-handed burden.

"You kid always let the old man do this thankless hard work, and all the favors were left behind by you. ”

The old man didn't have a good airway.

"That's it, the old man can't watch so many people being swept into this wind and there are no bones, this tornado is handed over to the old man to solve, and you solve the golden silk. ”

The one-armed little old man took a step forward, facing the second tornado that was only a few dozen zhang away, the wind and sand in the sky were charming, making people not real, but they could clearly feel the crazy sword intent of the sword box behind the old man, everyone looked at this scene with wide eyes, the old sword god stretched out his right hand, and the sword box behind him had a three-foot green blade rising into the sky, thunder and lightning flashed above the nine heavens, the old sword god fluttered towards the second tornado, the three-foot Qingfeng was in his hand, and he slashed lightly at the right of the tornado, and the desert instantly rumbled into a deep ravine that was 100 zhang deep and up to 10 zhang。

"Good means. ”

The robber woman exclaimed, and the old man said that the tornado was not to be shaken by force, but to forcibly change the direction of the tornado so that it would miss the cave, but the joy of this desperate life did not last long before he could not laugh again.

From the depths of the cavern came a faint roar of a beast from ancient times, followed by twenty or thirty Tatars running out in panic, followed by a pair of red lantern-sized eyes.

Zhang Mingyue fell into an ice cellar.

Fierce beasts.
