Child
Chapter 69 Younger
It rained all night. The wall of this dilapidated house was already loose. When the swordsman Lao Guo put up the awning, he drove two iron nails into it, and water slowly seeped in, making it even looser.
When the rain gradually subsided and the sky turned white, there was a crashing sound, and the linoleum cloth collapsed under the weight of the water on the top, covering the two of them at once. The donkey underneath was frightened, brayed, and ran away dazedly, swinging its hooves.
Only then did Li Wuxiang come out of the remaining bricks.
There are also techniques when making bricks. He got on the horse first, asked the black horse to lower its neck, cover its eyes, take a few steps back, then spurred the horse forward, and the horse's nose hit the wooden wall.
If it were a real wall, the horse would have hit it hard, but at the moment of collision, the wooden wall loosened slightly, and one person and one horse immediately pushed out the wooden board like a bulging rubber ball. , leaping out to the ground. Looking at the dark horse again, he just stood there for a few steps and snorted heavily. After I rubbed its nose again, it was completely relieved.
Li Wuxiang jumped off the horse and uncovered the linoleum, his hands were covered with mud - the two people were lying in the muddy water, motionless as if they were dead. After the two of them revealed their identities to each other last night, they stopped scolding each other and just kept their mouths shut to compete. But the Wumi Dan was quite powerful, and the two of them stayed in the mud until late at night, staring at each other, and finally passed out from the cold.
He first touched their wrists and probed their inner auras.
These two people have strong vitality in their bodies, and they should have already established their foundations and entered the stage of refining their Qi. But their auras were very mixed, a bit like what they looked like after he devoured the Wang family. There is also very little energy in the body. When he loses consciousness, the breath is sometimes smooth and sometimes not smooth.
Zhao Qi and Zeng Jianqiu both said that a suitable skill for practice should be able to make people move on their own after building the foundation, while moving, sitting and lying down. It should be practiced all the time. From this point of view, these two people The technique is really a bit lame.
So he helped the two men up and asked them to sit against the wall. Then he looked inside the earthen pot - only a little water had entered, but the remaining charcoal inside was still bright red. He moved the branches a little, and the heat came up again.
He placed the canister between the two of them, tied up his horse, and sat on the low wall next to him to wait.
The drizzle also stopped, and the sun emerged, soon plating this area with gold and sparkle. Swordsman Lao Guo first frowned and raised his eyelids, and then Lao Deng took a deep breath, but did not move again.
Li Wuxiang immediately jumped off the low wall: "Two of you, are you awake?"
The two slowly opened their eyes and looked dazed, but they were both glancing at their swords.
"It'll be great to wake up. I just passed by here and saw you two lying in the mud. I thought you were killed." Li Wuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "You are in the wilderness here, too. From Ranshan?”
The two of them were stunned at the same time and looked at each other, and then Lao Guo said: "Ah... you are?"
Li Wuxiang smiled: "My home is Pixia Mountain..."
But he immediately changed his mind: "Oh, it's a small place. The elders in my family asked me to go out and make a living. I heard that there was an immortal Xu who asked people to go to Ranshan to find treasures, so I wanted to see it."
Lao Guo and Lao Deng were startled for a moment, then immediately looked at each other, and a word came to their minds - Chu'er.
"Ah... yes, so are we." Lao Deng tried to move his arm and found that he could move. He quickly touched his back shoulder and touched a puddle of paper pulp. He quickly got up, grabbed his sword aside, and said, "We are on the same path. We are destined by fate. You are a good person. You really saved both of our lives."
He took the sword and leaned to the side, touched his bun, and held the sword with his hands motionless. Lao Guo also grabbed the sword in his hand and stood on the other side.
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Then just wake up. I'll continue on my way. Let's meet again when we get to Ranshan."
After he finished speaking, he jumped on the horse, pinched it gently, and asked the horse to walk slowly.
The two of them watched him leave. After he rode his horse for more than ten steps, Lao Guo withdrew his eyes and stared at Lao Deng: "We don't know each other, so let's just treat it as a misunderstanding, right?"
Lao Deng looked at him for a while: "I misunderstood. Are they all doing things for Xu Xianren?"
"But my donkey has escaped. Where can I find it? This should be blamed on you, right? You should pay for it."
Old Deng said to Li Wuxiang in the distance: "Isn't this ready-made? The horse and what's on it belong to you, and what's on the human body belongs to me."
"You'll pay me for the horse and what's on it, and I'll pay half for what's on the human body."
"That's a horse, that's a donkey! Okay, let's talk about it later. People are going to be far away, so hurry up and follow them!"
The two of them worked together to roll up the linoleum cloth, and hurriedly caught up with them, shouting: "Young hero, young hero, wait for us, let's get together and go together!"
Li Wuxiang looked back on his horse, hesitated for a moment, and then became happy again: "Okay, I feel bored alone."
Lao Guo and Lao Deng were beside him, but Li Wuxiang's horse was either fast or slow, so the two of them had to keep pace.
Lao Guo put his hands on his forehead to make a tent and looked into the distance: "If we walk like this, we can reach Ranshan Mountain today."
"Ah? Really?"
"Hmm, so you're not from here?"
"no."
"Haha, the young hero also left home not long ago?"
"Hmm...ah, no, I've been wandering around in the world for several years. By the way, where is Ranshan? What kind of treasure are we looking for?"
Lao Guo and Lao Deng were both stunned and looked at each other. Then Lao Guo said: "You don't know Ranshan?"
"Well... I only know a little bit."
Lao Deng poked Lao Guo with his finger: "It seems that his home is far away, maybe he is from another diocese."
"Don't worry." Lao Guo said in a low voice, and then said, "Ranshan is one of the thirty-six sects here. You must have heard of the thirty-six sects, right?"
Li Wuxiang reined in his horse: "Ah? I know this, the thirty-six sects... Then we go to other sects to find treasures? Isn't that bad?"
"Hehe, it's hard to say about other sects, but this Ranshan, it's like this - the leader of Ranshan died more than ten years ago! But before he died, Ranshan was no longer good. When the leader died, his disciples couldn't stand the hardship on the mountain, so they all ran away, leaving only one guarding Mountain Gate. "
"In recent years, people from small sects such as the Giant Sword Sect, the Green Clothes Sect, and the Yangzhen Sect nearby have secretly gone to the mountain several times to see if they can get some treasures. I heard that they found a lot of magic tools. We rangers are very envious, but aren't there still people on the mountain? It's not easy for us to fight with the people of the Thirty-Six Sects."
"But the guards of Ranshan Mountain left a few days ago, so it has become an ownerless place, right? The fellow martial artists nearby are all thinking about going to the mountain to see if they can find any leaks. As a result, didn't Xu Xianren call on everyone to go up the mountain to search for treasures a few days ago? It's easier to get things done with more people, and it's easier to get away if something goes wrong. As long as you see that the situation is not good, you can leave quickly. If something goes wrong, there are tall people to take care of it! "
Li Wuxiang nodded. "The mountain guard" should refer to Zhao Qi. It turns out that when he was guarding the Changsheng Lantern, some small sects nearby had secretly gone to the mountain to search for things? He never mentioned these things... That's right, he certainly didn't want people to look down on him.
He thought Ranshan would decline, but he didn't expect it to decline to this extent. No wonder Zhao Kui didn't even make a pill - not doing his job properly really hurts people.
"Who is Xu Xianren? I've only heard of him. Have you seen him?"
Old Deng poked Old Guo again. Old Guo slapped his hand away and rolled his eyes at him: "You don't know Xu Xianren either? We haven't seen him either, but we've all heard of his name - he's been pretty ruthless in the past few months. Many of the wandering cultivators who offended him have all been killed. No one has ever seen him alive."
"I guess he's a hermit in seclusion somewhere. When he got to a point where he couldn't get up, he came out of the mountain to look for some supplies. There are a lot of people like this. You can hear about them every ten or ten or so years."
Li Wuxiang frowned: "Strange. Most of the families who seclude themselves have caves and blessed places. They should have enough supplies. Why would they come out to look for it?"
Old Guo was stunned: "Really?"
Li Wuxiang, of course, didn't Knowing whether it was true or not, he nodded: "Yes. But from what you said, there shouldn't be anything good on Ran Mountain, right? What did Xu Xianren ask everyone to look for?"
"I heard that Xu Xianren got some news, saying that there is a hard-to-find treasure on Ran Mountain, which should still be there. But we don't count on that kind of treasure, we can't keep it. Let's go up the mountain to have a look, maybe there are some silver bowls and silver bottles, magic swords and magic bells, etc.? Even if they are broken, they can still be used after repairing them. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Ran Mountain has been passed down for so many years. These things have been blessed and nourished, and they must be much better than what we make ourselves!"
"Oh." Li Wuxiang sighed, "Then I'll go and see it."
At this time, Lao Deng stretched out his foot, and Lao Guo stumbled, and the two fell behind the horse.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't do it, you might run into someone ahead!"
"Let's not do it."
"What's wrong?"
"The more I talk to him, the colder I feel." Lao Guo frowned, "If you think about it carefully, don't you think something is wrong? Have you looked closely? Delicate skin and tender flesh--"
"It means he is a virgin?"
"Hiss... How did you live to this age? It means he is pampered! Didn't you hear? I asked him if his family who lived in seclusion was like that? They said, yes! Maybe he came from a hermit family nearby that we don't know about... Think about it again, he is really a virgin, how did he live until now?"
Lao Deng also frowned and stared at him.
Lao Guo sighed, "Get it?"
"No, I was thinking I really had a setback last night. If I had known you were such a coward, I would have just gone around the wall and done it." Lao Deng sneered, "Don't get jealous later, I won't be polite to you if you get jealous - I still have a lot of pills, go away, don't get in the way!"
