Xie Ming quickly removed Gu Jinxuan's hand that was pressing his knee. He saw that his knee was red and there was a faint trace of blood seeping out. Xie Ming rubbed it gently and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a scratch."
"I'll do it." Long Wanshan took Xie Ming's hand away, then stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on his knee, using his magic energy.
"Xuanzi, what are you looking at? Before you could come over, Jinxuan fell." Xie Ming shouted to Du Xuan, who was standing stunned in front of him.
Gu Jinxuan also raised her head and looked forward, only to see that Du Xuan did not come over to express concern and greetings, but just stood there staring into the distance.
Thinking like this, Gu Jinxuan felt aggrieved, and the hot tears that were just spinning in her eyes poured out in an instant.
"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's a small injury, it's not serious." Xie Ming comforted anxiously.
Du Xuan stared into the distance for a while, but he frowned, confused.
"Okay, no bones were injured, just skin was scratched." Long Wanshan withdrew his demonic energy and said with a smile.
While wiping Gu Jinxuan's tears, Xie Ming helped her up and said, "Can you still walk? Otherwise, I will carry you down the mountain."
Going down the mountain? Gu Jinxuan instinctively looked forward, still looking at Du Xuan in the distance.
Looking at Du Xuan who was still standing stupidly, Xie Ming became angry and shouted: "Xuanzi, why are you standing there? I didn't see Jinxuan fall!"
Du Xuan glanced back, then turned to look in the distance again, sighed softly, then trotted over, squatted down next to Gu Jinxuan, looked at her red knees, and asked: "Can you still hold on?
"
Xie Ming rolled his eyes at the "cold-blooded" Du Xuan and asked: "How can you insist on doing this? Hurry down the mountain!"
The unreasonable Du Xuan glared at Xie Ming, then turned to look at Gu Jinxuan and said, "Do you want to go down the mountain?"
Du Xuan said this with such a straight face, there was no hint of concern.
Gu Jinxuan pouted, stood up stubbornly, and said, "No."
After saying that, he pushed away everyone and continued to walk forward with long strides.
Du Xuan looked at the stubborn Gu Jinxuan and smiled unconsciously.
"Are you still laughing? Jinxuan is so young and is still the daughter of an elder. Unlike us, her life doesn't matter." Xie Ming looked at Du Xuan and became angry.
Long Wanshan patted Xie Ming's shoulder and said, "It's just a skin injury. Just walk slower."
Xie Ming shook his head helplessly. In fact, he also knew that this skin injury did not have much impact. Maybe he was overly concerned.
After walking a few steps, Xie Ming suddenly asked: "Du Xuan, Jinxuan fell down, why are you so stupid that you can't come over? It's a shame that people still call you Brother Xuan."
Long Wanshan frowned and looked sideways at Xie Ming in confusion, why did this kid say this in front of Gu Jinxuan?
Sure enough, Gu Jinxuan's already poor complexion became even more ugly now, and there seemed to be something crystal clear in her eyes.
Du Xuan was still walking at the front and said without looking back: "I just discovered that someone seemed to be following me."
"Ah!" Xie Ming and Long Wanshan were shocked.
Especially Xie Ming, who had personally experienced the situation of being chased. At this time, he actually heard that there was a follower again. While looking around nervously, he hurriedly said: "Well, why don't we go back to the top of the mountain?
Let’s go?”
Long Wanshan later heard Xie Ming speak vividly and exaggeratedly about the assassination. At this time, he was inevitably a little nervous, and besides, there was Gu Jinxuan who was powerless to resist, so he also said: "Yes.
, let’s go down the mountain quickly.”
Gu Jinxuan still doesn't quite understand why Du Xuan's words suddenly made Xie Ming and Long Wanshan nervous and worried?
However, he also understood that Du Xuan didn't come over immediately just now. It was not that he didn't care about him but that he had discovered something else, so he asked: "Why are you going down the mountain? It's okay if there are other people climbing the mountain with us."
"Jinxuan, you don't know." Xie Ming explained, still looking nervous, "Last time, someone secretly ambush and assassinate Xuanzi. Fortunately, we ran fast. These people are not here to climb the mountain, but to
Killer!"
"Ah!" Gu Jinxuan said in surprise, but also a little unbelievable. This was the Demon Valley.
Du Xuan glanced at Xie Ming and said, "Don't scare Jinxuan, that person has already left."
"Leaving?" Xie Ming still looked around uneasily, "Then let's go down the mountain quickly."
Long Wanshan frowned and asked, "Just one person?"
Du Xuan nodded and said: "Just one, and he's not a martial artist."
After a pause, Du Xuan said nonchalantly: "As long as you are not a martial artist, you are not afraid of anyone. Besides, this is the Demon Valley. If a martial artist comes in, the owner and elders of the valley will definitely know about it."
Hearing what Du Xuan said, Xie Ming felt relieved a lot. Indeed, if the disciples of the Demon Valley have bad intentions, there is really nothing to be afraid of, as long as Du Xuan is here.
Long Wanshan thought for a while and guessed: "We have been climbing the mountain for several months and we haven't seen anyone following us. Could it be that the second elder was worried and sent someone to protect Jinxuan?"
Du Xuan, who had been puzzled, suddenly understood.
This is very possible. Gu Jinxuan is so young, and it is natural for Gu Yan to be worried. If there are people with bad intentions, there is not only one person.
Moreover, if he didn't show up sooner or later, Gu Jinxuan's fault would show up when he fell down. If you think about it carefully, the person in the dark might really be Gu Yan, or a disciple she sent.
"Let's go, it's okay." Du Xuan thought and felt completely relieved.
Xie Ming thought about it and felt that this was the most likely possibility. After all, in the Demon Valley, there should be no disciple who would overestimate his own capabilities and dare to plot against Du Xuan.
The four of them continued to move forward, and no one spoke. Because except for Du Xuan, no one among the four had extra energy to waste on luxury.
As we walked, the sky gradually became brighter. Over the mountains in the distance, there seemed to be a shy red color struggling to jump out. The unique towering tree on the top of the mountain was also faintly visible.
Circle blurred outline.
Finally, after nearly an hour of climbing, the four of them finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
Gu Jinxuan, who was extremely tired, collapsed on the ground just like Xie Ming and Long Wanshan climbed the mountain for the first time, gasping for air.
Du Xuan glanced at Gu Jinxuan on the ground with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's right, take a rest, we will go down the mountain in a while."
After saying that, he took out the colorful sandalwood stick and went to practice aside.
Xie Ming sat next to Gu Jinxuan and encouraged: "Jinxuan is really amazing. She climbed up in one breath. She is even better than me and Brother Long."
Long Wanshan also expressed admiration: "Well, do as Brother Xuan says, and you will definitely pass the martial arts exam next year."
Gu Jinxuan, who finally climbed to the top of the mountain, felt quite proud and had a sense of accomplishment. Her fatigue and dissatisfaction had long since disappeared.
After taking a few breaths, he asked: "Brother Ming, you just said that someone assassinated Brother Xuan before. What happened?"
This incident was Xie Ming's most important experience, and he had boasted about it countless times to other disciples in the valley.
At this time, he naturally said proudly: "That was when Xuanzi and I climbed the mountain a long time ago! At that time, I was walking behind and Xuanzi was in front. As you know, there were no people at all when climbing the mountain so early in the morning."
"But, as I was walking, I suddenly heard a cry of death in front of me, and all kinds of magic almost lit up the entire night sky. I thought, something must have happened to Xuanzi in front! So, I quickly shouted
Let’s run up the mountain.”
Gu Jinxuan listened carefully with her mouth open, never expecting that there was such a dangerous thing in the Demon Valley. But Long Wanshan listened to Xie Ming tell people many times, so he could only laugh on the sidelines.
"I ran, ran. Suddenly! I saw Du Xuan flying down the mountain like a tiger, and from time to time he used magic tricks to kill the assassin. Then, before I could react, Xuan Zi
Lift me up and run back."
"Oops! It made my head spin. But when I came to my senses, I saw many black shadows in the grass on the roadside behind me. Xuanzi was running around while turning around to cast magic. So, I quickly got it too
I use the three-light magic ball to cast magic on those black shadows. Although my three-light magic ball is far inferior to Du Xuan's colorful sandalwood stick, I can still do my part and help." Xie Ming said with embarrassment.
"What happened next?" Gu Jinxuan asked anxiously.
Xie Ming took a sip of water and continued: "Then we ran all the way and cast magic all the way. Finally, we didn't stop until we reached the entrance of the Demon Palace."
"What about the assassin?" Gu Jinxuan asked again.
"Run away."
"Run away?"
"Yes, they were beaten away by us." Xie Ming said confidently, "Besides, they don't dare to act wild at the entrance of the Demon Palace."
At this time, Du Xuan, who had practiced the colorful sandalwood stick dozens of times, slowly walked over and interrupted: "Okay, let's go down the mountain. It's time."
"Brother Xuan, you are so amazing." Gu Jinxuan regained her strength and her complexion became much better.
Having just listened to Xie Ming's vivid story, I admired Du Xuan even more.
Du Xuan chuckled twice and encouraged: "When you become a martial artist in the future, you will be a hundred times more powerful than me."
"Hey, Jinxuan, I'm pretty good too, okay? Why don't you praise me?" Xie Ming talked for a long time, but he didn't get any benefit. Instead, he made a dowry for Du Xuan.
"You are awesome too, haha." Du Xuan smiled first and said, "Let's go down the mountain quickly, it's getting late."
Going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain. After all, this is a mountain road with no steps.
When we went up the mountain, the sky was only slightly bright, but when we went down the mountain, the bright sun had climbed into the sky, lighting up the entire canyon and the entire earth.
Most people in the valley have just had breakfast and are ready to start practicing. If there are some lazy ones, they may have just gotten up and are drowsy.
After going down the mountain, Gu Jinxuan naturally went back to eat, and then trained under the guidance of the Wumen Enlightenment Master. Du Xuan and others naturally had a quick meal, and then went to the Demonic Cultivation Tower to practice.
It seems that today's lunch will be a little late. Because Du Xuan is untouchable and must practice at the Demonic Cultivation Tower for two hours every morning.
