In the hut in the forest, Zhou Maoguo made a cup of strong tea and observed everyone's movements.
The sand table was enlarged, revealing the abyss in the mine.
[According to the movie...]
Lin Yurou was reaching into the sand table, intending to poke the sleeping monster briefly and roughly, but when Chi Xiaoduo said something, Lafayette stretched out his hand again, and listened to the conversation between the two suspiciously.
"... The protagonist should go down into the abyss without any danger at this time." Chi Xiaoduo said seriously in Xiang Cheng's ear, and Xiang Cheng slowly climbed down with Chi Xiaoduo on his back.
"And then?" Qi Wei asked from below.
"Then someone dropped something, and there was a bang." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Just like the last time Xiang Cheng and I went to receive a kiss, it woke it up."
"You remember it all?" Qi Wei and Da Keda asked as they moved their bodies on the platform and raised their heads.
"Yes." Chi Xiaoduo replied.
"That's right." Xiang Cheng said, "So let's change the method and hold me tight."
As he said that, Xiang Cheng kicked his feet towards the cliff, and flew up with the whole rope, together with Chen Zhen, Zhou Wanyuan, Fang Yilan and Master Lei Kuang who carried Chen Lang on their backs, and swung in an arc.
Everyone: "..."
Before the long line of people reacted, not even Chi Xiaoduo recovered, Xiang Cheng flew out of the air, took out a fresh-keeping bag from his sports bag, shook his head upside down, and scattered all the soybeans It came out, and flew with a sound of golden light, forming a galaxy in the darkness!
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Cheng completely let go of the rope, shook Shi Gandang away, and chanted a mantra. Shi Gandang flew out roaring, but couldn't find the target, and flew wildly in the air.
Shi Gandang's roar resounded through the abyss, and the monster below woke up immediately, and let out another roar, and huge tentacles flew from the ground, smashing Shi Gandang's ethereal form in the air to pieces!
"You're crazy!" Zhou Wanyuan screamed.
"Run!" Koda yelled.
There were more and more tentacles, and the largest dark tentacle came along the cliff shaking heaven and earth. The roof of the cave began to collapse, and the boulder kept falling. Xiang Cheng shouted: "Xiao Duo, hold on to the rope!"
Chi Xiaoduo fell with Xiang Cheng, but hugged his waist tightly with one hand. Xiang Cheng opened his umbrella with a loud clap, and Chi Xiaoduo grabbed the rope, leading a group of people and flew towards the opposite cliff.
A tentacle at the bottom slammed like an octopus' tentacles exuding black air, and hit the iron ladder on the edge of the mine. The iron ladder made a loud noise, and the nails burst and popped out. Koda and Qi Wei hugged each other tightly on the platform. The railing and the iron ladder tilted towards the opposite side.
The tentacles looked for the target everywhere, and smoked the golden beans in the air, but ignored the exorcists who borrowed the way. Xiang Cheng wrapped the demon-binding rope around his wrist, and took everyone on the rope on the iron ladder. It turned around in a circle, entangled all the people on the iron ladder. The tilted iron ladder formed a bridge, and Koda was the first to react, turned over the iron ladder, and ran towards the opposite side of the bridge.
The iron ladder collapsed towards the opposite cliff. Xiang Cheng stepped on the iron ladder and said to Chi Xiaoduo, "Go to the opposite side!" :"let-"
Xiang Cheng chased after him, put his arm around Chi Xiaoduo's waist, jumped to the side, grabbed the ladder with one hand, and circled around. Just as the two of them flew away from the ladder, a glowing fire dragon flew behind them. Rushing towards the opposite iron gate, the iron gate exploded, completely blowing apart the two steel plates.
Another tentacle flew over and twitched in mid-air.
"It's sensitive to light!" Chi Xiaoduo shouted in the midst of his busy schedule.
It was too late and then it was too late, everyone cast spells together, Chen Zhen's heart was focused, Zhou Wanyuan threw a mirror and shouted: "Go!"
The mirror spins at high speed in the air, and Chen Zhen's heart lamp emits strong light, shooting towards the mirror surface, the light jumps and refracts on the rapidly rotating mirror, a halo is reflected on the wall of the cave, and thousands of tentacles fly out at the same time. Randomly pumping and clapping on the cave wall.
Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo rushed to the opposite cave first, followed by Qi Wei, who could relay Chen Zhen, and flew towards the opposite side with Chen Lang in his arms, and landed safely. Zhou Wanyuan rushed over, followed by Master Lei Kuang dragging Fang Yilan, When Chen Zhen ran towards them, a tentacle flew out, caught the iron ladder, and yanked it down.
Everyone yelled in unison, Chen Lang rushed out, but was dragged back by Koda. It was too late and then soon, Chen Zhen jumped in the air, over the tentacles, and landed on the second half of the ladder, embracing the fallen iron ladder with both hands . Xiang Cheng didn't even look at it, he let go of the demon-suppressing rope, wrapped one end around Da Ke's waist, and flew towards Chen Zhen with the other end, wrapping it around his waist.
Koda dragged Chen Zhen back, and Chen Lang, who was pulling him, almost collapsed from fright, leaning against the cave wall to breathe.
The whole team was about to be played to death by Xiang Cheng, but Xiang Cheng stared outside the cave with an indifferent expression.
"Come inside." Xiang Cheng said coldly.
"Are you sick?" Zhou Wanyuan said angrily.
It was too late, but then it was too late, Xiang Cheng shook the subduing magic pestle and gave a loud shout. In the same second, another tentacle was drawn from the bottom of the abyss, and swiped towards Master Lei Kuang at the end of the line, but he hadn't touched it yet. He was shot by Xiang Cheng and firmly nailed to the cave wall!
The tentacle suddenly exploded, turned into black smoke and scattered, and the remaining half disappeared suddenly.
"No." Xiang Cheng put away the pestle and nodded politely to Zhou Wanyuan.
Everyone: "..."
All the variables came too fast, before Master Lei Kuang realized that he was about to be swept away by the tentacles, Xiang Cheng and the monster in the abyss launched their back attacks at the same time, even within a second when it was impossible to tell who was faster and who was slower , even Fang Yilan was completely convinced, and said with lingering fear: "Thank you, Great Immortal."
"No thanks." Xiang Cheng said casually, "Repay your favor that day."
Chi Xiaoduo followed Xiang Cheng and walked deep into the cave. He looked around and said, "There shouldn't be anything here, so let's take a breath... how do you know that the last tentacle will fly over?" of?"
"Isn't it like this in the movies?" Xiang Cheng twitched his eyebrows, and said to Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo laughed, Zhou Wanyuan was still behind and asked curiously: "What kind of favor do you have?"
Fang Yilan replied: "He didn't hear the roll call, so I reminded him..."
Zhou Wanyuan: "..."
Everyone rested for a while, and continued to move forward. This time, everyone was safe and sound, and complained about Xiang Cheng in their hearts, and had to treat him as the team leader again. After all, the last move was so beautiful that even Chen Zhen didn't expect it to happen.
In the cabin in the woods:
Holding the teacup, Zhou Maoguo laughed heartily. Lin Yurou really didn't expect Xiang Cheng to take the lead from her, so there was nothing he could do.
"Look at the rest of the group." Zhou Maoguo said, "They should stop to prepare."
Lin Yurou snapped her fingers and summoned several mirrors. The team of exorcists who were climbing the rock just now had been dispersed, and now one of the teams was looking for hostages.
Mr. Zheng yawned, overjoyed, and said, "Young people today are very interesting."
"It's because this trick is outdated." Master Qiao said.
Inside the mountain, Xiang Cheng and others entered a huge cave. After walking not far, they heard the sound of water.
Chi Xiaoduo updated his entry as he walked, recording a light-sensitive monster from the abyss.
"Look at what else is in your bag." Xiang Cheng said to Chi Xiaoduo.
"There's something underwater." Chi Xiaoduo said softly.
"I feel it." Xiang Cheng replied, "Don't say anything, and foul them as soon as you remind them. Don't stop on your feet, keep walking."
"An opened can of luncheon meat, tongs, a little gasoline... a saw and an instant noodle lighter." Chi Xiaoduo replied.
"Give me the clamp." Xiang Cheng whispered.
Xiang Cheng took out the demon-binding rope and wrapped it around the needle-nose tongs. Chi Xiaoduo looked at it curiously.
"Hungry?" Xiang Cheng said.
"A little bit." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Breakfast will be ready soon." Xiang Cheng said.
"Let's take a break, everyone stop and drink some water." Koda said.
Chen Zhen and Xiang Cheng looked at each other, Xiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and waved his hands imperceptibly, Chen Zhen nodded.
"Find a way to cross the river." Chen Zhen said behind him, "It's already three o'clock, take a rest."
Everyone sat down exhausted, but Xiang Cheng held Chi Xiaoduo without saying a word, got up, started running, then turned a bend along the river, and shouted: "Jump!"
In the hut in the woods, Master Qiao was observing the mirror of their three groups, looking at Xiang Cheng inexplicably.
"Chase!"
Da Ke was eating an apple, when suddenly Chen Zhen got up, dragged Chen Lang, and started running after Xiang Cheng.
"What are you doing again!" Zhou Wanyuan just sat down, and everyone ran away, and Xiang Cheng almost made her nervous.
"I don't know!" Fang Yilan said, "Xiang Daxian started running!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo jumped into the middle of the underground river, swung out the demon-binding rope, nailed the end of the rope with the needle-nosed tongs to the top of the cave, and the two of them grabbed the rope and swung across the ten-meter-wide bridge. River, fly to the other side.
Then the demon-tying rope automatically flew towards Chen Zhen, Chen Lang and Da Keda, wrapping them around.
In the cabin in the woods:
Lin Yurou: "???"
Zhou Maoguo was drinking tea when he accidentally glanced at the mirror and was dumbfounded.
The underground river began to boil and bubble, and a huge monster came out of the water, but Zhou Wanyuan, who was at the end of the line, was already in the air, stepped on its head, and flew from the opposite side to tie the demon rope, wrapped around Zhou Wanyuan's wrist, and dragged her away. past.
"Bye bye" Chi Xiaoduo waved at the monster in the water.
monster:"… "
"Run!" Xiang Cheng said.
Then everyone started to run wildly downstream again. Koda glanced back and said, "What is that?"
"Ghost knows!" Qi Wei said, "It's a monster! Run!"
Chi Xiaoduo was panting from running, so Xiang Cheng picked him up and continued running.
"Director Chen can't catch up!" Koda shouted.
Xiang Cheng finally slowed down, and there was an unwilling roar in the distance, and everyone just left the monster behind.
"You're too..." Zhou Wanyuan panted while holding on to a stalactite.
"Martial arts in the world." Xiang Cheng replied, "The only thing that can't be broken is speed."
Inside the cave:
"Shouldn't this kind of place stop and find some water to drink?" Zhou Wanyuan said.
Chi Xiaoduo said, "That's right, so there are usually monsters."
Fang Yilan rested her forehead with one hand, and asked after a while: "What kind of monster is it? Did you see it?"
"I don't know." Zhou Wanyuan said, "It's a water monster. Maybe it was transported all the way and put in the river. It's so pitiful that it didn't even have a chance to show up."
Xiang Cheng continued to walk, and Chi Xiaoduo was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so Xiang Cheng carried Chi Xiaoduo on his back, and walked for half an hour, and finally walked out from the exit of the underground river.
"Look, the sunrise." Xiang Cheng said.
Chi Xiaoduo came down sleepily, and sat on a rock with Xiang Cheng to watch the sunrise.
They actually passed through the entire mountainside, and the opposite was the route formulated by Xiang Cheng.
Chen Zhen glanced at his watch, it was six forty.
Everyone was exercising, and Xiang Cheng glanced at Chen Zhen with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Go on?" Qi Wei asked.
Koda yawned and said, "Listen to Xiang Daxian, we nerds are simply scumbags of practice."
Zhou Wanyuan was also completely convinced, and said: "I listen to you, just hug your thighs."
"Let's go." Xiang Cheng replied, "Go up the mountain first, then walk along the ridge, and sleep in the valley where the peaks connect."
They looked at the map first, and Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang dozed off together. Xiang Cheng analyzed the whole route and decided to rest at the low ground between the two forks.
"Actually, I want to take the slow route." Chen Zhen said to Xiang Cheng.
"I know what you mean." Xiang Cheng replied.
"Why?" Chi Xiaoduo asked in a daze.
Chen Zhen explained: "Taking the fast track will definitely attract the attention of the examiners, and maybe there will be more monsters to suppress us, so Dada has been talking about taking a rest, and I don't want to go so fast."
"On the contrary, people who are more moderate, whose progress is at the bottom, and with more places, will naturally not come to embarrass you, and let them pass by turning a blind eye."
"Hmm." Chi Xiaoduo rubbed his eyes and said, "So you want to sleep now?"
"No, I can't." Xiang Cheng said without turning his head: "The night is long and the dreams are many, and it will change later."
Chen Zhen asked: "Do you have doubts?"
"No." Xiang Cheng said calmly.
Chi Xiaoduo: "???"
"You sleep." Xiang Cheng said, "One, two, three, sleep."
"Hmm..." Chi Xiaoduo fell asleep peacefully as if under the spell of hypnosis.
In the hut in the forest, Zhou Maoguo was so laughed that he almost couldn't sit still, but Lin Yurou had nothing to do with Xiang Cheng.
"Get ready to change shifts." Zhou Maoguo got up and said.
All the examiners got up separately, Master Qiao went out, Zhou Maoguo said, "Drive you?"
Master Qiao waved his hands and said, "I will walk slowly."
"Then..." Mr. Zheng leaned on a cane and said, "The old man will take his leave first."
"Go slowly." Everyone hurriedly saluted.
"I'll take Mr. Zheng down the mountain." Lin Yurou said, "Come back before dusk."
Wang Lei took off the key from the wall and gave it to Lin Yurou, saying, "Lafayette is driving my car, please fill me up with gas."
Lin Yurou took the key and glanced at Zhou Maoguo. Zhou Maoguo stood outside the hut, stretched his shoulders, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Wang."
"Where is it?" Wang Lei said with a smile.
"Yeah." A girl's voice said with a smile, "I'm late, sorry sorry."
"I'll have to wait for a while—" Mr. Zheng laughed.
"Di Shumin." Lin Yurou said displeased, "Why did you come up at this time?"
The girl's hair was tied into a bun and she was wearing a phoenix hairpin. She explained: "I met the demon general, so I said a few more words." As she spoke, she stepped forward and hugged Teacher Zheng. He held hands with Lin Yurou again, and retracted their palms as soon as they touched each other. He quietly took a bracelet from Lin Yurou and smoothed it to his wrist.
"It's my turn and Teacher Wang Lei's?" Di Shumin said.
"Go and watch." Lin Yurou said, "Master Qiao has already gone down the mountain. I'm planning to send Elder Zheng back to Ulanhot. The disciples are all waiting to pick him up."
"Okay." Di Shumin replied, "Teacher Wang, please take care of me."
"Where." Wang Lei smiled modestly: "Thanks to Teacher Di's family heirloom."
Outside the hut, the car drove away, and the examiners changed shifts.
Di Shumin sat in front of the sand table and murmured: "The remaining seventeen groups... Teacher Zhou is really cruel."
Wang Lei laughed loudly and said: "If jade is not cut, it will not be made into a weapon."
Di Shumin laughed secretly, shook her head, adjusted the mirrors, and observed the members of each group one by one. The field group basically woke up and started to move on. Over the night, nearly half of the candidates were eliminated by various wild monsters.
"Huh?" Di Shumin said, "Why didn't Xiang Cheng's bright eyes not move?"
On the mountain road, the ball of light stopped, leaving the scenery before going up the mountain, and the people were gone.
"Is there something wrong?" Wang Lei said, "Shall I go and have a look?"
Di Shumin pushed open the door and shouted, "Teacher Zhou!"
Zhou Maoguo was frying eggs on the portable gas stove outside the wooden house, and Di Shumin responded with a grunt, "Xiang Cheng's Guangyan will not follow."
"I'll go and have a look." Zhou Maoguo came over, confirmed the exact position of the light eye on the sand table, turned off the stove and went out.
The mountain road is steep and difficult to walk, and the non-tourist area of Aershan is sparsely populated. Many places have never been walked by even since the birth of the earth. Chi Xiaoduo slept for a long time, opened his eyes in a daze, and heard someone shouting.
"no!"
"Come down first." Xiang Cheng said to Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo stood on the ground and found that there was a cliff under his feet. The entire cliff had completely collapsed, and there were stones that might roll down at any time.
"There is another way!" Chen Zhen said, "Let's go up there, it will take more time."
Xiang Cheng raised his hand to signal that he understood.
"Meet you the morning after tomorrow!" Koda shouted.
Xiang Cheng turned and left without saying a word.
Before Chi Xiaoduo could react, Xiang Cheng wanted to carry him on his back, but Chi Xiaoduo waved his hands and said no, and went down for a walk, so Qi Wei still opened the way ahead, and Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo walked slowly along the barely passable road on the cliff. walk slowly.
"What happened just now?" Chi Xiaoduo asked confused.
"There's a landslide in the back." Qi Wei turned around and said.
"Go ahead." Xiang Cheng said, "We will have a rest."
Qi Wei tied a rope to a half-protruded tree and let it hang down. He pulled the rope, Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo slid down the rope, and retracted the rope.
"It's so beautiful." Chi Xiaoduo said.
The mountains are in the shape of a cross. This is a depression between two ridges. The erosion of ancient glaciers formed a beautiful lake. After one night, the clouds in Aershan receded and the sun came out. The sun shone on the lake, sparkling.
They sat down by the lake, Qi Wei glanced at his watch, it was half past eight in the morning.
"Rest until three o'clock in the afternoon." Xiang Cheng said, "Recover your strength, eat something first, and I'll go find firewood."
"There's a saw." Chi Xiaoduo found out the saw and gave it to Xiang Cheng.
Xiang Cheng was about to leave, but he glanced at Qi Wei again.
"You go." Qi Wei said: "Or I go?"
"I'll go." Xiang Cheng said.
Chi Xiaoduo felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, as if there was something to hide from each other, but Xiang Cheng turned around and left without saying a word, leaving Qi Wei to fetch water by the lake, took off his vest, washed and wrung Dry.
"Do you want to wash your clothes?" Qi Wei asked.
Chi Xiaoduo replied, "Yes."
His body was covered in sweat and sticky. Chi Xiaoduo took off his t-shirt and handed it to Wei Wei. Qi Wei seriously washed his clothes by the lake. Chi Xiaoduo looked funny. Qi Wei asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I didn't expect you to do laundry." Chi Xiaoduo said.
Chi Xiaoduo got up and went over. Qi Wei seemed to be using some kind of spell, and two figures in camouflage uniforms in the dense forest were reflected in the lake. One was standing by the tree with firewood in his hand, while the other appeared from behind the tree. The two seemed to be talking about something.
From Chi Xiaoduo's perspective, he couldn't see what Qi Wei was observing, nor could he see their faces.
However, as soon as Chi Xiaoduo passed by, Qi Wei immediately withdrew the spell.
"Who is that?" Chi Xiaoduo asked curiously.
"No one." Qi Wei waved his hands and washed his clothes in the water.
"Is it the water mirror technique?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"Yeah." Qi Wei said, "You know?"
Chi Xiaoduo has read about this kind of spell in a book, using the connectivity of water, it can lead to any place with water. When Qi Wei casts the spell, hundreds of puddles that may exist nearby will reflect their own water. If someone is near the puddle, the image will be transmitted to the lake in front of Wei Wei.
