Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 99 Spring Hunting in the Hundred Mountains (39)

"I don't know what Senior Sister Bai can do?"

Seeing Xu Yan as if he had broken the casserole and asked the end, Bai Bing finally took out another map from his storage bag, then handed it to him, and explained: "Dushan is different from the other mountains in the Hundred Mountains Ancestor, for example, compared to the Huangmaojian we are in at the moment, its area is pitiful, and even among the three sections of the Huangmaojian Mountain Range, the smallest upper mountain range is more than ten times larger than it, I think the junior brother should also find this after reading this map, right?"

Xu Yan only took a few breaths to finish reading the map in his hand, and immediately showed a thoughtful expression on his face, but he didn't understand what the other party wanted to express, so he still asked curiously: "Does this have anything to do with the method that Senior Sister Bai said?"

Bai Bing shook his head and said, "It's related, but it's not even related." ”

When Xu Yan heard such an answer, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and was silent, waiting for her next explanation.

Bai Bing suddenly said to him: "Before I answer this question, I would like to ask the junior brother a question first, I wonder if you have heard of Ziyunluan?"

Hearing this question, Xu Yan, who had carefully flipped through the "Classic of Mountains and Seas of the Five States", nodded and replied: "I have learned a little about it in the scriptures, and it is recorded that when this kind of flying bird spirit beast first hatched from the beast egg, it has the strength of a sixth-level spirit beast, and it likes to live in the volcanic range with an extremely high temperature, but it seems that their number is very rare. ”

Bai Bing replied: "Yes, their general characteristics are exactly like this, but in their living habits, there is one of the most important pieces of information, but it is not known to the world. ”

"Huh?"

"They can't see at night or in the dark, which is why they like to live in the lava tumbling area all year round. ”

"What does Senior Sister Bai mean that Ziyun Luan was born with night blindness?"

"Yes, Ziyunluan can only see things clearly during the day, presumably the junior brother should have guessed at this moment that this Dushan is the only active volcano among our ancestors of the hundred mountains, that is, the peak where Ziyunluan lives. ”

"I don't know where did Senior Sister Bai get this information?"

"Because I have seen the original version of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas of the Five States", in the description of Ziyunluan, there is a page in which it is written that it is blind, but later, for some reason, when this scripture began to be widely circulated from the Wuzhou Continent, this point was directly erased, heh, but it doesn't matter, does it? The important thing is that we know this. ”

"What Senior Sister Bai means is that in this Dushan Mountain, the most dangerous source comes from the Purple Cloud Luan, and once we wait until the night falls before entering the mountain, there will be no danger, right?"

"It's not all like this, within Dushan, although its overall area is not vast, and even in addition to the peak of the Huohuo Mountain, there are only two peaks left, Nandong Peak and Daming Peak, but in addition to Ziyunluan, there are also some other powerful spirit beasts there, but they are not as strong as Ziyunluan, so we need to be extremely careful whether we enter the mountain at night or during the day. ”

Hearing Bai Bing say this, Xu Yan undoubtedly nodded again, and replied: "Listening to Senior Sister Bai say so much, I can understand why you mentioned the area of Dushan at the beginning, your original intention should be that the smaller the overall area of Dushan, the better it is for us to have a greater chance of escaping when we are discovered by other spirit beasts other than Ziyunluan, right?"

After Bai Bing heard this, he nodded with great appreciation and replied, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant." She continued: "Although there is indeed a huge risk of entering Dushan with our cultivation at the moment, if we don't take this opportunity to go to the Nandong Peak where the fifth generation sect master has cultivated to take a look, I am really a little unwilling, after all, in the Lotus Sect, but even the entire sect has been turned upside down, but still no one can find his old man's high-level sword technique that was already famous all over the world before his ascension, I think there is probably only this left, and it will be the last hope to find that sword technique." ”

Seeing that Xu Yan fell into silence, Bai Bing didn't continue to add fuel and vinegar, because she gradually understood at this moment that the other party was the kind of person who was extremely rational and very cautious, not the kind of fool that others could fool with just a few words, if she blindly wanted to confuse his final decision through her own emotions, then the result would only backfire.

It wasn't until after a cup of tea that Xu Yan finally made a decision, he glanced up at Bai Bing, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, I'll go to the Dushan Mountain with you, but say in advance, if we really find the sword technique of the fifth generation sect master in the South Cave, we must refer to it together." ”

After Bai Bing heard Xu Yan's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and his face replied with great simplicity: "You should be like this!"

......

Shortly after the previous battle, Zhou Xian and Wu Hao took the lead in fleeing the scene, and immediately after them, Chen Qinghe and others chose another way to leave under Xu Yan's suggestion, but Xu Yan didn't realize at that time that in fact, one person fled the scene long before Zhou Xian and Wu Hao.

This person is none other than Yan Ziyi, who is very good at seeing all directions, and when he sees that the situation is not right, he puts oil on the soles of his feet and is ready to slip away at any time.

However, compared to Zhou Xian and Chen Qinghe, they could directly choose to escape from the south, and Yan Ziyi, who was in the north of the battle circle, could only wait until he completely avoided Xu Yan and the others, and then went around in a big circle before he could escape in the direction of the south.

Spring hunting so far, for a person like him who is not particularly critical in itself, it can be regarded as a complete end to this dangerous journey, and after many nightmarish escapes from death, but because in the last battle, he once again chose to escape, so that he never dared to return to the Chenyang Sect. Because he knew very well that if Wu Hao saw him appear in front of the latter safe and sound again, then the other party would inevitably end his life directly.

Among the nearly 10,000 disciples in the entire Chenyang Sect, Yan Ziyi knew that he was not an important person at all, otherwise he would not have been selected by the high-level elders in the sect to participate in the Baishan Spring Hunt, maybe for most disciples, this is just an ordinary sect task, but Yan Ziyi thought about it in private, this is obviously the sect let them come here to act as cannon fodder.

Yan Ziyi walked cautiously in this mountain forest that still belonged to the middle of the Huangmaojian mountain range, without using too fast speed, because he wanted to hide himself in the mountains and forests as much as possible, and not show the slightest movement, now, not only Xu Yan wanted his life, but even his own disciple Wu Hao must also want his life, therefore, in such an embattled situation, he had to keep himself on a very vigilant guard. He is convinced that once he can successfully escape from this yellow hairy tip, then from now on, he can fly high in the sky, jump with the fish, and successfully worship other martial arts sects in Lingzhou to continue to practice, even if he can't get along in Lingzhou, he can also go to Zhongzhou, or Jianzhou, Youzhou, no matter how bad it is, even if he goes to Dry State, but just when he was about to leave this dense forest and go to the road he had walked before, he suddenly heard a slight sound of hitting leaves in his ears.

This sound of hitting the leaves is not very obvious, even when the mountain wind is a little stronger, it can blow this kind of sound, however, Yan Ziyi is still very keenly aware of this movement that seems to be a little unusual, he immediately stopped his body, and tried to shout softly around: "Who?"

After a word, everything is quiet.

This couldn't help but make Yan Ziyi suspicious, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "Could it be that I am too suspicious?"

Although he thought so in his heart, Yan Ziyi still bent down very cautiously and picked up a gravel the size of a red date from the ground, and then threw it vigorously in the general direction of the sound.

"Whew!"

After this gravel blessed Yan Ziyi's strength, it emitted a galloping sound of breaking wind in the air. Then, after the gravel hit the green and verdant leaves in front of it thoroughly, there was another "pop" sound.

Yan Ziyi opened his eyes and saw that after the stone he threw fell into the forest, just like the stone thrown into the lake did not make much waves, he finally removed all his guards, and secretly thought that he was too suspicious.

So, he no longer hesitated, and immediately wanted to turn around and leave this place immediately, but before he could turn around, he relied on the innate intuition of danger that he had practiced after practicing martial arts, and suddenly sensed an incomparably dangerous aura, which was rapidly approaching his back.

Not daring to pause, Yan Ziyi didn't even choose to turn around, he controlled his half-squatting body and suddenly rolled forward to the side.

"Boom"!

At the same time as he rolled out, a powerful sword qi had indeed broken through the air.

After Yan Ziyi stopped his body, he couldn't help but feel a pain, he didn't expect that after he reacted in the fastest time, he was still injured by the person behind him who suddenly cast a cold sword.

Looking at his calf, which was already drenched in blood in an instant, Yan Ziyi's heart immediately sank, this kind of injury is not too serious on weekdays, and even as long as he is given two hours, he can recover as usual with the effect carried on the pill, but at the moment of this desperate escape, he will undoubtedly become quite fatal when he receives this kind of injury.

"Who is it, if you have the ability, you will show up and see it, hide in the dark and hurt people with a sword like this, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?" Yan Ziyi couldn't help but shout angrily, but the movements in his hands did not stop, I saw that he immediately tore off a large piece of cloth from his body and wrapped his injured calf several times.

However, after he said a word, there was still no figure in this mountain forest, but another sword aura that was stronger than before flew towards him.

When Yan Ziyi saw this scene, he couldn't help but be furious, but at the same time, a feeling of horror rose in his heart.

Because at this moment, he clearly felt that the other party wanted to kill him.

......

After Xu Yan went to Dushan with Bai Bing with full consent, the two quickly left their original positions, as he said to Chen Qinghe before, the time for him to continue to stay in this mountain and river is not much, he must hurry up and rush to Dushan, in addition, what he said before, in order to complete the third task of the spring hunt to find the 'white fruit', naturally he has to do it by the way, but if he really can't meet it, then he can only give up.

Xu Yan and Bai Bing quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, like two sturdy cheetahs, and there was still a long way to go from the middle mountain range of Huangmaojian to the Dushan Mountain, because they still had to pass through the entire upper mountain range of Huangmaojian.

However, just as the two of them were speeding out all the way to the north for about three quarters of an hour, and were about to reach the junction with the upper mountain range, they felt a strong sword aura in a certain mountain forest in front of them.

Xu Yan and Bai Bing, who were galloping rapidly, glanced at each other, and a hint of suspicion flashed on their faces, obviously they couldn't guess which sword cultivator would stay in this area.

After a cup of tea.

Xu Yan and Bai Bing completely came to the surroundings where the sword qi loomed, but in order not to startle the snakes, they stopped in front of this dense forest and continued to run, but instead turned to move forward slowly.

Bai Bing, who was following behind Xu Yan, saw that he was so cautious, and couldn't help but ask him, "Who does the junior brother think will be the person who uses this array of sword qi, is it possible that Zhou Xian will go and return?"

After Xu Yan heard this, he pondered for a moment before he replied: "It shouldn't be, not to mention whether Zhou Xian dares to do this, even with the situation after he escaped at that time, he should have also suffered a lot of injuries, and it is impossible for him to recover in such a short time." ”

"But except for Zhou Xian, aren't most of the sword cultivators in the other two sects participating in the spring hunt this time already dead and injured, it can't be a senior brother, right?"

Seeing that the other party was guessing wildly, Xu Yan didn't follow her to analyze, but said calmly: "Senior Sister Bai doesn't need to worry, as long as we get close to each other, won't all the truth come out." ”

After ten breaths.

The two of them who walked quietly finally came to their destination, but the person who appeared in front of them then was not a sword cultivator.

This person looks to be only about 20 years old, and he is a man, but at this moment, his physical condition is really a little miserable, not only is his whole body full of sword wounds, but even his own hands and feet have been cut off and thrown aside.

The blood that had spilled from his body had stained the entire forest around where he was lying.

Seeing the young man lying on the ground in front of him, dying, but familiar and unfamiliar, Xu Yan's eyes did not bring the slightest pity, because it was not a day or two that he wanted to kill this person, it can be said that the reason why Zhou Yu showed such a strong killing intent to him later must be that the person in front of him provided important information to the latter, because he killed Zhou Mi in the yellow hair, although it was all seen by the four disciples of the Chenyang Sect at that time, it can be Xu Niu, and the identities and status of Li Zifan and Zhang Chun, who had long been abolished by him, could not have a direct intersection with Zhou Yu.

Xu Yan condescendingly looked at Yan Ziyi, who was lying on the ground and was on the verge of death, and didn't say much, but said in a calm tone: "I didn't expect you to have such an ending." Seeing that Yan Ziyi was silent, Xu Yan asked again, "Who injured you like this?"

When Yan Ziyi heard Xu Yan's question, he couldn't help but recall the familiar and unbelievable face he saw at the last moment, he didn't expect that in the end, it was this person who cut off all his hands and feet and ended his life.

He looked at Xu Yan with blank eyes, and he could already clearly feel that death was approaching him, but in the end, he still did not choose to answer Xu Yan's question head-on, but showed a sneer on his face, and said weakly: "It's just a matter of becoming a king and losing a villain." ”

After saying these six words, Yan Ziyi, who had always been very cunning and cautious, died.

Seeing that this opponent, who originally thought that he would become his mortal enemy, finally died with such a tragic ending, Xu Yan was expressionless, and did not produce too many emotional changes, just looked around and glanced at the mountain forest in front of him with his own eyes.

Obviously, the person who killed Yan Ziyi had already foreseen that they would pass here, so they evacuated the scene early before they arrived, but why did the other party torture Yan Ziyi so badly and let him suffer so much before dying slowly, this is what Xu Yan doesn't know, and Xu Yan thinks that although he is not a soft-hearted person, he will not have such cruel and perverted methods.

With his style, he will only quickly solve the enemy's life in a very clean and neat way.

Of course, such a scene in front of him was cruel, but it more or less made Xu Yan feel how strong the hatred of the person who killed Yan Ziyi was for the latter.

Seeing Xu Yan turn around Yan Ziyi's corpse and continue to walk north, Bai Bing, who followed behind him, did not forget to glance at Yan Ziyi, who was completely dead on the ground. There was no trace of pity on her beautiful face, but a hint of disdain, and then she spat at his corpse.

......

After Xu Yan and Bai Bing completely left this place, a ragged and embarrassed figure appeared in this area again, this person was holding a sword in one hand, and on the sword in his hand, it could be vaguely seen that there were a lot of scarlet blood stains that had not dried up on it, there was no doubt that this person was the one who killed Yan Ziyi with his own hands.

This person didn't stay here for too long, nor did he do anything more disgusting to Yan Ziyi's dead body, but just quickly chased after Xu Yan and Bai Bing in the direction where they left.
