The eighth master was puzzled and looked down at the white crane.
"There aren't many hairs left, let's keep it." Nan Feng waved his hand at Master Ba.
Ba Ye still refused to leave, spread his wings, lowered his head and pecked his left armpit.
Nanfeng walked over and lowered his head to search, and found a short arrow. The short arrow penetrated the flesh two inches, which was quite deep. Fortunately, it did not hurt any vital parts.
Pulling out the short arrow, Ba Ye felt pain and went to peck the white crane again in a rage. Upon seeing this, Nanfeng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and after some persuasion, Master Ba spared the white crane, released his paws, and flew up with wings.
"Your eyes are so big, you want to bite me?" Nan Feng tilted his head and looked at Lan Ling'er. Lan Ling'er's expression at this moment could almost be described as ferocious. Even if she killed her father, this expression would be the same.
Lan Ling'er's eyes widened and she gritted her teeth, "Just wait for me."
"I have heard this many times since I was a child," Nanfeng curled his lips, "Go back and send a message to your grandfather. From now on, keep the door tightly closed when you sleep. I will not let go of any of the people who besiege me. I might find you someday."
After saying that, he unlocked Lan Ling'er's acupuncture points. He didn't know how to do it. He grabbed his wrist and input spiritual energy to directly open the blocked meridian acupoints.
Lan Ling'er wanted to shake off Nan Feng's hand, but Nan Feng let go before her, jumped up, and landed on Ba Ye's back.
Lan Ling'er angrily yelled and cursed below. Nanfeng ignored her and pointed to the southwest. Master Ba understood and flapped his wings and flew away.
After a battle, you have to review and summarize. Overall, the battle was quite successful. You killed the enemy to establish your authority and retreated unscathed. Although he and Ba Ye were both injured, they were not very serious. It was pretty good to be beaten like this.
Killing those little minions is not considered a skill. The biggest gain in this battle is to attack Tianmozi with the Hunyuan Divine Art. The powerful spiritual energy of three times the cave abyss directly shocked Tianmozi to vomit blood. Coupled with the subsequent leap and stampede, Tianmozi has absolutely no physiology.
Ba Ye had flown this route before and was familiar with it, but he was too tired and couldn't fly after a short distance. Seeing how difficult it was to fly, the south wind sent spiritual energy again to help it fly.
When we arrived at Desi, we were already five or six hundred miles away from Fengming Mountain. When we were passing through a town, Nanfeng instructed Ba Ye to land in the mountain to the east of the town.
He also had a small bottle of wound medicine on him, which was left over from Uncle Wang's treatment of Yuan Anning's injury that day. This medicine was extraordinary. After applying it, the wound was cool and the bleeding stopped quickly. The eighth master had a big head, and the short one was The arrow didn't hurt it much. When Nanfeng applied the medicine, he spread his wings and asked for it. It was also because it couldn't speak. If it could, what it wanted to say this time would be "I'm injured too, why don't you apply some medicine to me?" Son."
Naturally, Nanfeng would not forget Master Ba and applied it to him.
After re-bandaging the wound and putting on his spare Taoist robe, Nanfeng found a clean place nearby to lie down and rest. He was not hungry, but he was tired and sleepy.
After sleeping until the sun turned west, Nanfeng got up and went to the town, bought some food and came back.
After the watch, Ba Ye took off again, carrying Nanfeng and continuing southward. There was a guard sent by the Orc Valley at the foot of Fengming Mountain. It was impossible for that person not to tell Hua Ci'er what happened in Fengming Mountain. Hua Ci'er had birds. Yes, if he hears the news, there is no way he will not come, unless something happens in the Orc Valley.
Although he spread the word that day and informed everyone that he had obtained the tortoise shell in the Orc Valley, he could not completely prevent others from intruding on the Orc Valley. Furthermore, his relationship with Fatty was not a secret. If anyone who was interested would do some research, they would know that Fatty was in the Orc Valley. Gu, it is not impossible to take Fatty and exchange him for the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book.
After a restless night, we arrived at the boundary of the Orc Valley at dawn. From a distance, everything in the Orc Valley was as usual, with no signs of damage. When we arrived above the village, we could see some barbarians busy feeding sheep and horses.
Nanfeng once lived in the Orc Valley, and these barbarians all knew him. When they saw him arriving, some of them waved to him and said hello.
The Eighth Master folded his wings and landed on the ground under Nanfeng's instructions. Several female relatives came towards him. The ones Nanfeng was familiar with were Twelve and Fourteen. Both sisters were there. Twelve had a big belly and was being supported by Fourteen and another sister. .
The Han people are very particular about inviting people to the hall to have tea and talk, but the barbarians don't care about this. Twelve smiled and asked Nanfeng what he had been busy with these days and why he didn't come back with the fat man.
Seeing Twelve's expression, a big stone fell from Nanfeng's heart. It was certain that Hua Qi'er and Fatty were safe now, and even though everyone in the Orc Valley knew that he had taken the tortoise shell, they were not angry. .
Naturally, Nanfeng couldn't list what happened before one by one. He could only excuse himself as he was busy with trivial matters, and then asked Hua Qi'er and Fatty where they were.
Twelve's Chinese is not very good. Speaking of Fourteen, Fatty had been staying in the Orc Valley during the period before the New Year. After the New Year, he wanted to go back to Gong County in the Western Wei Dynasty to look for him. After the first month, he couldn't help but I wanted to leave, I had packed my baggage, and a Han man came from the valley. I don’t know his name, but I only know that the fat man called him his eldest brother.
Fourteen didn't know who this person was, but Nanfeng knew that the fat man called him eldest brother, so it was naturally Lu Pingchuan. Last year, he and the fat man rescued Lu Pingchuan from Chang'an. Lu Pingchuan did not want to go with them, saying that he was going to Liang Kingdom to seek livelihood. , he sent Master Ba to send Lu Pingchuan to Jiangnan.
The barbarians couldn't tell the difference between the clothes of soldiers and generals. They only knew that Lu Pingchuan was wearing military uniforms. He came to the Orc Valley to find Fatty and asked for help. He said that some official from the Liang Kingdom was rebelling somewhere, and the imperial court sent troops to attack him. For some unknown reason, I couldn't attack for a long time, so I wanted to ask Fatty and Hua Qier to help.
After the two rescued Lu Pingchuan that day, Fatty once told Lu Pingchuan about his current situation. Lu Pingchuan should know the relationship between Fatty and Orc Valley. After Lu Pingchuan joined the army and encountered obstacles in the war, it made sense to go to Orc Valley to seek help from Fatty. among.
When Lu Pingchuan and Fatty Hua Er'er talked about these things, these women were not present. Twelve and Fourteen also heard the Fatty say a few words before leaving.
According to Fourteenth, Hua Qi'er and Fatty had been walking for more than two months. They didn't know exactly where they went, they only knew they went to the southeast.
The area where the Orc Valley is located is already the southwest border of Liang Kingdom, and there is Jiaozhou in the southeast. Fatty and Hua Qi'er should go to Jiaozhou if they go southeast.
It is said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The farther away from the capital, the greater the power of the generals and officials, and the easier it is to rebel. If nothing else, Fatty and Huacier should have followed Lu Pingchuan to conquer Jiaozhou.
After asking about the situation and confirming that the Orc Valley had not been invaded, Nanfeng was in a hurry to set out on the road, but Twelve refused and insisted on letting him eat before leaving.
Nan Feng is not hungry, but Ba Ye is. He was born here and vaguely remembers that the mutton liver here is delicious.
During the meal, Fourteenth came over to deliver meat. At first, he thought that Fourteenth was fat, but when he looked carefully, he realized that was wrong. Fourteenth was probably pregnant.
Twelve saw him staring at Fourteen's belly and guessed what he was thinking, so he told him in a low voice that Fourteen also married a fat man in the twelfth lunar month of last year.
Regarding Twelve's words, Nan Feng was both surprised and not surprised. The surprise was because the fat man was the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha. Marrying a wife and having children was against the Buddhist precepts. Now, even his sister-in-law is being punished. This is not what a Bodhisattva should do. matter. If it wasn't a surprise, it was because this matter suited Fatty's temperament. Fatty had liked Fourteen from the beginning. As the saying goes, if you're not afraid of thieves, you're afraid of thieves. With that in mind, it was only a matter of time before he made his move.
After dinner, Nanfeng stood up and said goodbye. It was warm and humid here, and there were a lot of early-ripening fruits. In addition to fruits and food, he also brought a lot of changes of clothes, shoes and socks to Fatty and Hua Ci'er.
Set off at Chenshi and fly to the southeast.
That day, after he left Fengming Mountain with Yuan Anning, he went south to look for a hiding place. On the way, he discovered that a large number of grain convoys from Jiankang were heading south. At that time, he was still wondering where the war started again. Now I think it must have been the war in Jiaozhou, and the time was also Yes, it was the twelfth lunar month of last year when he took Yuan Anning south, and the counter-rebellion army should have already set off by then.
According to common sense, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court should not seek help from people in the Jianghu. Unless the war is frustrated, there is no other way to think of.
Fatty and Hua Qier have been gone for two months. If all goes well, they will be back a long time ago. If nothing else goes wrong, the two of them should have encountered a tough problem. They wanted to pinch the persimmon, but ended up pinching a hedgehog. The brother-in-law and brother-in-law Neither of them are patient people. If they hadn't been riding a tiger and couldn't get off, they would have run back.
Jiaozhou is the southernmost state capital of Liang State. It is remote and sparsely populated. There are not very wide roads. They are all narrow mountain roads. Occasionally you can see villages, which are all located in the mountains. .
Fortunately, Ba Ye flew very fast, so it didn't matter even if he couldn't find it for a while. He looked around in circles and found that there were almost no Han people in this place. They were all barbarians. Even if he wanted to ask for directions, he couldn't.
After entering the Cave Abyss, my ability to observe complexion has also improved. I can see more clearly and further. The south is warm and humid, which is more suitable for snakes, insects and wild animals to live. From time to time, you can see the aura of aliens in the mountains. Some Taoist practices are not yet there. Light, the complexion of aliens is roughly the same as that of humans. It is also divided into three major colors and nine minor colors, except that its complexion will be mixed with a little black energy. This is the complexion unique to aliens, commonly known as demonic energy.
Turning to the evening, I found a wider path. Following it to the south, I found a city. This was a city built on a mountain. It was really not small. It was more than ten miles from east to west. Something must have happened here before. During the fierce fighting, many city walls collapsed, and most of the houses in the city were destroyed by fire.
It was already midnight, the city was pitch dark, there were no lights, and there was deathly silence outside the city, not even the barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters. It was actually a dead city.
When I flew closer, I found that there were people in the city. At first I only saw one or two people, dressed in ragged clothes and with a haggard appearance, walking slowly on the streets.
I thought they were beggars, but after taking a closer look, I found out that they were not. These people were wearing Liang military uniforms. They were not beggars, but soldiers.
Looking carefully, I found that there were skinny soldiers everywhere in the city, lying or sitting. Even those who were moving made no sound, as if they were possessed by ghosts, as if they were in a sleepwalking state.
Just as Nanfeng was surveying the scenery in the city, Ba Ye flew over the city. Just as he reached the sky above the city, he seemed to have hit an invisible wall, his progress was blocked, and he retreated due to the shock.
"How can there be such a huge spiritual energy barrier here..."
