After returning to Fulu Town, he had a brief discussion with Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li clan. The old ape of Zhengyang Mountain did not stay in Li's house for too long. He rushed out of the town and stopped for a while at the place where the straw-shoe boy entered the mountain.
, the old man still returned to the place where he punched before, and carefully observed the depth of the young man's footprints on the mud.
In addition, in the old ape's field of vision, there are also a series of faint footprints of adults. The old ape guessed that they were probably left by the young swordsman from Fenglei Garden. When he punched the boy in Mud Bottle Lane, the man clearly wanted to take advantage of him.
, the sword energy overflowed for a moment, although it was fleeting and deeply hidden, the old ape had experienced hundreds of battles, and he had practiced for a thousand years in Zhengyang Mountain, where "sword energy breaks through treasure bottles"
, I am too familiar with sword energy and sword intention.
This Zhengyang Mountain guardian ape has lived for too long, so he has seen a lot. He has seen swordsmen who are good at raising high-quality flying swords. Among them, he has dozens of exquisite and pocket-sized flying swords, all of which are as small as fine ox hair.
I have seen a natal flying sword as big as a mountain peak cut down with one strike, cutting off rivers.
After the old ape thought carefully, he continued to move forward. After entering the mountain, there were first overgrown weeds, and then a bamboo forest. The ground was mostly covered with dead leaves accumulated from last autumn and winter. However, because it was closest to the town, the bamboo forest did not appear deserted and messy.
Following the imperceptible footprints along the way, the old ape found that he was about to walk out of the bamboo forest.
The old ape did not walk out of the bamboo forest directly, but looked around. He did not see the boy's footprints on the ground. He moved his gaze upwards and saw that there were no obvious marks on the green bamboos around him. However, the old ape still did not chase straight up the mountain, but stood up from the ground.
, stepped on the top of a thick green bamboo pole, slightly increased the force, tilted his body towards the mountain, and the bamboo bent accordingly. When it was about to break, the old man suddenly lost his breath, and his burly body was like a light feather, without any weight.
The green bamboo that was holding the burden suddenly rebounded and returned to straightness. The old man stood on the top of the green bamboo like an immortal riding the wind, his body swaying slightly with the bamboo. After looking around, he lowered his head and looked down at the surroundings. Finally, the old ape noticed the clues and tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Looking all the way to the left, and listening carefully, I vaguely heard the sound of flowing water in the stream.
The old ape sneered: "As expected, he is as cunning as ever."
The old ape trampled on the green bamboos and ran towards the stream on the left. He broke many bamboos along the way. After arriving at the stream, he wondered whether the straw-shoe boy should follow the stream to the deep mountains and old forests, or flee downstream.
, the old ape was a little uncertain for a moment. The old ape squatted by the stream, frowning, and a little angry. If it were in the outside world, as long as it was a mountain with a little bit of spiritual energy, the old ape could just grab it casually.
The earth god who supported the mountain gave the order to go out, and after asking, he knew the whereabouts of the young man.
This can also be regarded as one of the natal magical powers of the mountain-moving ape. Otherwise, other monks, no matter how powerful your magic skills are and how famous you are, will never be able to easily point fingers at the gods of the land and water. The roads are different, just like the officialdom, yamen, and war department of the secular dynasty.
It is also difficult for a minister to order around a small household minister, asking him to do this or that. The most important thing is that the minister of war and the minister are not above the temples of a country.
The old ape listened to the sound of water and fell into deep thought.
According to common sense, the young man probably had his skills and physical strength honed by going up mountains and entering water since he was a child. He may have also learned some superficial breathing skills, and this is how he has a physique that is different from ordinary people. His body is light, his bones are strong, and his qi and blood are strong.
, so that he can play the game of cat and mouse with the old ape on the roof of the alley. In this case, it is reasonable and reasonable to hide in the depths of the dense forest where he is familiar with the roads. If he is a pure young man, he just wanted revenge with his passion.
After experiencing serious and severe injuries, it gradually cooled down, and naturally began to feel scared, so it made sense to run to the blacksmith shop in the south to seek protection from Master Ruan.
The former is just time-consuming, while the latter consumes not only energy and energy, but also the incense and passion of Zhengyang Mountain.
The old ape followed his true intention and blurted out: "This young man must die."
After saying this, the old ape no longer had any doubts and chose to follow him downstream of the stream.
————
In the south of the town, there is a winding yellow mud road, with rice fields and crop fields of the people in the town on both sides. Halfway down the road, there is a dilapidated small temple with white walls and black tiles. It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is just a place for people to rest.
In this place, especially during busy farming seasons, hot summer days or heavy rains, it makes a huge difference whether there is a place to shelter from the rain.
At this time, Chen Pingan and Ning Yao were discussing and resting here.
Ning Yao was born with a clear sword and could see things at night. He easily discovered that the dilapidated walls were covered with children's charcoal graffiti. Most of them were names of people. Most of the lower parts had been mottled, or they had been daubed, tampered with, or overlapping.
Stacked, there are some clearly visible names in the higher places, Song Jixin, Zhigui, Zhao Yao, Xie Shi, Cao Xi... It's a long list. It is estimated that they were riding on the neck or even standing on it.
Ning Yao even saw the names of Liu Xianyang, Chen Ping'an, and Gu Can clustered in the highest place in the upper left corner, looking unsociable.
Ning Yao looked away and asked: "Anyway, the first step is done, and the old ape has been forced to breathe for the first time. Are you really going to go to the town to retrieve the wooden bow? Is it too risky?
If the old ape is very cautious and doesn't go up the mountain to cause trouble for you, wouldn't you be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth?"
The boy in straw sandals has been silently exhaling and exhaling. There is no fixed number of the length of the breath. Everything depends on the feeling, pursuing the "most comfortable" state. After hearing the sound, his eyes were firm and he said: "There is no way, the wooden bow must be taken back, otherwise we
All my previous efforts were in vain! Moreover, I shot an arrow in the head at the old ape over there in Mud Bottle Alley. It is indeed like what you said, Miss Ning, even at such a close distance, as long as it did not hit the old ape's eyeball, the result would be
The damage can be ignored."
Ning Yao was a little annoyed, "I told you earlier, your little tricks don't work! You didn't believe it before, and you didn't listen to my advice, okay, I'll let you, but now that you believe it, you should follow my method, right?"
"
In fact, as for how to deal with the old ape in Zhengyang Mountain, the boys and girls who were discussing the matter at the covered bridge initially decided to do their own thing. Chen Pingan just asked the girl to wait until he returned to the town to find the three people, but the boy behind him suddenly changed his mind.
, catching up with Ning Yao before he walked to the north end of the covered bridge and went down the steps.
After that, the two had huge differences. The girl who was wearing a sword was very firm at first. You, Chen Ping'an, are not a practitioner. You don't even know how to use fists. You can just watch the show on the side. At most, you can help wave the flag and shout for help.
She came to kill the old ape to avenge Liu Xianyang and vent her hatred. But when Chen Ping'an asked her how to kill the old ape, Ning Yao refused to tell her. He only said that she had the ability to conquer the world and climb mountains.
Going down the mountain, you walk alone on the road, how can you do it without some of the family's trump cards?
Chen Pingan did not agree.
Only then did Chen Pingan look for someone three times.
Chen Ping'an stood up, twisted his waist, and was almost stagnant. He stood up and said, "I'm almost done with my rest."
Ning Yao was surprised and said: "The things in Yang's shop are so useful?"
Chen Pingan's eyes looked sad for a moment, but he quickly nodded and smiled: "It's very useful."
Ning Yao asked: "Will the old ape see through your escape route directly?"
Chen Pingan thought for a while and replied cautiously: "Maybe."
Ning Yao used the scabbard to draw two circles and a straight line on the ground, and asked: "This is the route between the small temple and Li's house on Fulu Street. Where is your wooden bow hidden?"
Chen Pingan squatted down and drew a circle, "Close to the east, almost here, not too far from Mud Bottle Alley."
Ning Yao nodded and said: "Okay, even if the old ape comes directly to the small temple, I will delay his steps and buy you enough time."
Chen Pingan drew a small circle in the middle of the line again with his finger, "If this is the worst case scenario, Miss Ning, can you seduce him here? This is where I first entered the mountain, so I can take
When we get to Mugong, rush there, it won't take long."
The girl in a dark green robe put her knife on the ground and said proudly: "Maybe I will carry the old ape's head to your side."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Don't be brave, be careful!"
Ning Yao wanted to hit that head hard with the scabbard. Who is showing off?
She glared and said, "Hey! The person standing in front of you is me, Ning Yao, the future number one swordsman in the world, okay?!"
The young man stood up, looked down at the two cloth bags on his waist, and tightened them again just in case. He raised his head and said with a smile: "I know, I know, so, don't die in a small place like this.
Otherwise, thank you. When you become such a big shot in the future, as a friend, I will be able to take advantage of you."
Ning Yao said with emotion: "Chen Ping'an, you are so indecisive as a mother-in-law. I advise you not to marry a wife in the future and just find any woman to marry."
The young man laughed and didn't refute. Just as he was about to leave the temple, Ning Yao said: "I'll send you to the creek first, and then I'll walk northwest for a while to prevent the old ape from worrying about the little girl's safety.
Not long after we entered the bamboo forest, we found no trace of you, so we decisively gave up the pursuit and turned around to return to the town."
Chen Pingan thought for a while and did not refuse.
The young girl and the young girl ran towards the stream together. The girl breathed out invisibly like a big river, the water was deep and silent, and the undercurrent surged. The boy's breath was like the flowing water of a stream, with a long and thin stream.
The weather is different.
Ning Yao suddenly couldn't help but asked: "The wooden bow arrows smeared with the herbal medicine you mentioned are really useful?"
The young man replied: "Anyway, it is useful for wild boars weighing more than 200 kilograms, and it should also be useful for that old ape."
Ning Yao stopped talking.
The two of them approached the creek, which was where the straw-shoe boy had landed. Almost at the same time, the boy and girl burst out with strength and kicked the ground with their feet. They stood up high and jumped to the other side.
After landing, the girl held the scabbard and slowed down. The boy sprinted and jumped, crossed the river with a big leap, landed and ran, all in one go. He passed the girl in an instant. Just as Chen Pingan was about to turn around, the girl said: "You go first
Small town, don’t worry about me.”
The young man continued to move forward, turning his head as he ran and reminding: "I will take a slight detour and choose a secluded alley to enter the town. It may be a little late."
Ning Yao nodded, and after Chen Ping'an disappeared, he no longer held the hilt of the sword and began to walk slowly to the west.
Not long after, the girl stopped and squinted her eyes to look upstream at the distance of the stream.
A burly figure suddenly shot out from the boulders of the stream towards the north bank, landing more than twenty steps in front of the girl, looking domineering.
The old ape was a little confused. There was no hidden aura of young people around him. He glanced at the white sheath sword on the girl's waist intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you were the one who went to Fulu Street to cause trouble, right?"
The girl held the hilt of the sword with both hands and remained silent.
The old ape asked curiously: "Little girl, on the way to the town, although you kept hiding your head and tail, I know that your origin is not simple. You are definitely not the two losers from Qingfeng City and Old Dragon City. It's just that I am very
Strange, what grudges do we have between you and me? Why should we be like this? Or maybe your family has a feud with Zhengyang Mountain?"
Ning Yao said nothing, the sword on his waist was unsheathed at the same time, and his body disappeared in a flash.
The narrow knife arrived first and struck down the Zhengyang Mountain Guardian Patriarch on the head. The old ape casually raised his hand and used his arm to deflect the edge of the knife.
Taking advantage of the situation, the girl spun around and swept her sword horizontally towards the old ape's neck.
The old ape also violently smashed the sword's edge with his arm.
The girl's first two moves failed to succeed, so she did not get close to the old ape. She put some distance away from the old ape and walked slowly.
After appraising the sharpness of the two weapons with his unparalleled physical body, the old ape ignored the blood grooves cut on the outside of his arms and said with a smile: "The weapons are really good, and I dare to carry two of them with me. I can see that they are on the mountain."
You are a disciple of a thousand-year-old family, or else you are the direct descendant of the first-class tycoon in the mountain, I almost thought you were another Fengleiyuan sword cultivator hiding in the dark."
The old ape moved with the girl's seemingly careless footsteps, followed her figure and shifted his gaze slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Little girl, I know that you will not give up even if you are frustrated next, so I will give you one last chance.
Let you report your life experience to the guru, and if you are killed by me again after this, Zhengyang Mountain will not admit your mistake for this, let alone where you come from and who you study under."
Ning Yao simply turned a deaf ear to this and was always looking for the old ape's real weakness.
After all, she is not the great Li clan king who has reached the threshold of the tenth realm and can shoulder a mountain-moving ape head-on.
The old ape, who thought he had given in too much, sneered and said: "If you don't know how to appreciate someone, then let you go."
