Chapter Thirteen
Shen Yue had a full belly and was about to leave when Liu Ling suddenly warned: "There is someone approaching quickly in the northern forest!" Hearing this, he immediately ran out in the opposite direction and hid behind a slope a hundred meters away from the jujube forest. Liu Ling quickly Use the breath masking technique to integrate his energy with the surrounding trees.
About half a minute later, a young man rushed into the jujube forest first, looking back from time to time, obviously being chased. He was handsome and tall, with a hint of ruffianism between his eyebrows. Although his robes were a bit messy, his gaze was bright and clear.
He looked around and suddenly looked towards Shen Yue. Shen Yue thought to himself: It can't be so bad, does he want to hide here?
The young man did not come directly, but first ran a hundred meters eastward, deliberately cutting his palms and spilling blood along the way. After struggling for a while, he turned around and sprinted towards Shen Yue's hiding place.
Shen Yue had no choice but to retreat as far as possible, using the trees behind the slope to barely cover himself.
When the young man came to the slope, he didn't even look behind the tree where Shen Yue was hiding. He turned over and lay down, holding his breath and staring ahead.
Shen Yue looked at his skills and felt that he was no match for him, but he did not act rashly and decided to wait for the pursuer to show up before making any plans. After a while, four burly men rushed into the jujube forest. Shen Yue's pupils shrank. Shockingly, I discovered that the four of them were all wearing the uniforms of the Nei Jing Secretary. They also carried standard long knives on their waists and held their own weapons in their hands.
The four of them searched back and forth in the Zaolin in a tacit understanding. Shen Yue was quite nervous at first, but after seeing the performance of the man next to him, he suddenly became happy: the young man lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, and after staring at the official for a while, he He ate the jujubes he picked as he went, looking quite leisurely.
Not long after, an official discovered blood stains on the ground, and the four of them were misled by him and pursued eastward. After a few minutes, when they saw that the official had gone far away, the young man playfully spit out a few date seeds into the sky, lazily The ground slowly climbed up.
By coincidence, the ostrich being chased by Shen Yue saw that he was not chasing him, so it returned the same way it came. It fluttered its wings and jumped onto the tree trunk where Shen Yue was hiding, causing the young man to look back.
Then, the young man found Shen Yue who was still twisting his body and trying his best to hide. Shen Yue was helpless and smiled awkwardly but politely.
The young man exclaimed and jumped back. He quickly took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, which was covered with various runes. Shen Yue listened to Liu Ling's popular science and knew that this was a rune: a fighting tool made by monks.
Although he was confident of taking down this young man, he was not confident in dealing with this talisman of unknown power. After all, he had never really seen it before. It was said that the talisman could trigger huge power with a simple injection of spiritual energy, so he was instinctively afraid. Shen Yue hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I mean no harm." Then he pointed to the jujubes in his arms and explained, "I am a nearby mountain man who came to pick jujubes. I had to hide when I saw you coming."
The young man let out a sigh and said, "What a liar you are. You pretended to be a mountain man. You were hiding next to me just now and I didn't even notice you. You must be a monk!"
Damn it, that's because you are careless, right? Shen Yue complained in his heart, but still tried his best to smile kindly and said: "Young hero is really knowledgeable, but the four of me and I are not the same people, so we might as well go our separate ways. How is it?"
The young man saw that Shen Yue's clothes were in tatters, so he probably wasn't from the government. He thought in his mind: He only had this talisman left. The person in front of him was a bit unsure about his cultivation. His spiritual sense seemed to not exist. He probably wouldn't be able to do it even with the talisman. If you drop him, you will be in danger.
He pretended to be reluctant and nodded and said: "That's fine, I hope you won't be the court's hawk." After saying that, he cupped his hands, took a few steps back and quickly fled to the northwest.
Shen Yue didn't waste much time, and carefully decided not to return to the hut in the water pool, but rushed straight to the hiding place behind the waterfall. He had already made the safe house clean and tidy, and even built a stove and made a bed. As soon as he sat down, he felt a little tired. After all, he had been fighting those spiritual beasts everywhere from morning to afternoon.
It was almost dusk, and Shen Yue lit a piece of Void Spirit Grass. This grass can burn slowly like incense and has the effect of increasing and calming the soul. He crossed his legs and began to practice and recover. After more than half an hour, he estimated that this Shi Xiaohuan thought it was time to go back to the hut, so she got up and went back to pick it up.
Halfway through the journey, he happened to meet Xiao Huan, who was coming towards him. He understood that Xiao Huan must have seen that he had not come back, so he came to the waterfall to look for him.
Xiao Huan was wagging her three big furry tails and rubbing them here and there. Shen Yue lovingly held her on his shoulders and turned around to go back to the waterfall, but suddenly he felt like he was being watched.
At this time, the sky was already dark and the moon was rising. He hurriedly gathered his spiritual energy and used the "Lingxi Jue" that Liu Ling had recently taught him to communicate with the surrounding vegetation. This "Lingxi Jue" was the technique that Liu Ling taught Shen Yue to hide his breath and dodge. , you can use the vegetation to act as your own eyes and ears, and you can also use the vegetation to hide yourself. When you practice to a high level, you can also use the vegetation to defend yourself against enemy attacks.
Through warnings from the nearby vegetation, a person was crouching in the bushes in Shen Yue's direction. What surprised him was that the crouching person was actually that young man. The guy was holding the talisman in his hand, ready to attack, and seemed to be ready to attack Shen at any time. Yue launched an attack.
You're done, aren't you? Shen Yue cursed in his heart, and immediately secretly channeled his spiritual power, turned into vines behind the young man, and attacked him with lightning speed. The young man didn't even expect that he had been discovered, and he planned to kill Shen Yue. He quickly stopped him and forced him to be his guide. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly tied into a rice dumpling.
Shen Yue quickly rushed to the young man's side, first took the talisman and put it in his arms, then curled his lips and said with a smile: "We meet again, you said you didn't find a place to rest quickly at night, why are you squatting here?"
The young man stopped struggling and pretended to be calm: "Tonight, the moon is high in the sky. I suddenly wanted to enjoy the forest under the moon. Who would have thought that you would suddenly tie me up? Why bother? Didn't we all go our separate ways? ?”
Shen Yue heard him raking the moon and said jokingly: "Your habit of enjoying the scenery is not very good. Are you squatting with your butt stuck out to admire it? Besides, why are you staring at me behind the bushes if you don't want to look at the moon?"
The young man coughed dryly and argued: "You don't understand. You can only appreciate the beauty of the scenery by squatting. If a big living person like you comes to me, of course I have to notice you!"
Shen Yue clapped his hands and said, "That's my fault, then I won't disturb your pleasure." After saying that, he turned around and left. The young man said anxiously: "Hey, what's the matter with you? Take my talisman and return it." What's the point of tying me up?"
