Duan silently exited the tent, took a deep breath of the refreshing air, but couldn't sort out the confusion in his head. He was becoming more and more unable to understand what kind of person Xuan Yue was. Temper, and after a while seem to care about themselves.
"Brother Dumb, come in and sleep quickly, you have to hurry tomorrow morning." It was Yuehen who was speaking, and he was smiling Dumb.
The tent is very small, like Yuehen and Duan's figure, it is indeed a bit cramped inside. Yuehen sat cross-legged and said, "Brother Dumb, how old are you this year?"
Dumb raised the cloak on his head, and said, "I'm seventeen years old, Brother Yuehen, how about you?"
Yuehen said: "I am two years older than you. I am nineteen this year, and my sister is eighteen. We can all be said to be the same age. What do you think of our trip to the Death Mountain?"
Duan was taken aback for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I just want to get a magic crystal back and give it to the teacher."
Yuehen said: "I think the relationship between you and Miss Xuanyue seems very strange, how did you know each other?"
Duan sighed, and said, "Brother Yuehen, stop asking, it's hard to explain! You can meditate, I'm starting to meditate too." After speaking, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Yuehen shook his head helplessly, and began to cultivate his fighting spirit.
Duan meditated for a while, seeing that Yuehen had settled down, and then turned to practice to generate true energy. Since Xuanyue didn't want Yuehen and others to know that she knew martial arts, she had to let her.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, everyone continued to set off, heading towards the territory of the Puyan tribe. After a whole morning of trekking, they finally came to another city of the Honghu tribe at the middle of the day. It is much older, and most of the residents are members of the Honghu tribe. Under Xuanyue's repeated requests, they still bought a large carriage and two horses for pulling the cart. When paying, Xuanyue was only willing to pay five It's only ten gold coins, but a single carriage costs as much as 100 gold coins. Yuehen seemed to be very rich, so he paid the rest of the money without arguing. The worst thing was Dui, Xuan Yue confiscated all his property on the grounds that he was useless with the money, and of course, put it into Xuan Yue's purse. After lunch, drive from Wanli and continue on.
With the carriage, the forward speed increased a lot. Two days later, they finally entered the territory of the Puyan tribe.
Although the carriage was a bit bumpy, it was much easier than walking, but because of the bumps, Yue Hen and the others did not dare to meditate and practice, and chatted with nothing else. After a few days of getting along, they got acquainted with each other a lot. Duan and Xuanyue learned that the brothers and sisters of Yuehen and Yueji were originally the children of a nobleman of the Red Hurricanes. Those who ran out only went home once or twice a year. Although they were young, they already had three years of mercenary experience. The Moonscar Mercenary Group was only established last year. Since the profession of mercenaries is very popular in the Red Hurricanes, their parents saw that they had become famous, so they no longer restricted their actions. Yuehen's Yueying swordsmanship was passed down from his family, and Yueji's bow and archery was learned from his mother. Both of them have good strength.
What's more surprising to Ah-Dai is that Xuan Yue didn't brag about her identity to Yue Hen and the others, but only said that she had learned light magic from an unknown magician for several years. Over the past few days, Xuanyue has kept a low profile. Apart from asking Yuehen about some novel things on the mainland, she didn't mention a word about her origin.
"Xuan Yue, it turned out that traveling in a carriage was so easy, but you did a good job this time!" Yue Ji said sarcastically. After getting along for a few days, the relationship between Yueji and Xuanyue has never changed, they are always tit for tat, it seems that there is hatred in the first place.
Xuan Yue snorted, and said, "You only know now! Dumb, what are you doing so far away from me? I'm sleepy. Let me lean on your shoulder."
Dumb was taken aback, and hurriedly dodged to the side, saying: "Miss, it's not good if a man and a woman can't kiss each other."
Miao Fei laughed and said, "Miss Xuanyue, he doesn't want you to rely on me, so I will let you rely on me, how about it?"
Xuan Yue glared at him, and said, "You're so thin, I don't want to rely on you. Dumb, come here quickly!" As she spoke, she moved to Dumb's side.
There was only so much space in the carriage, so Ah-Dai had no choice but to let her lean over. Under the envious gazes of Miao Fei and Yue Hen, Xuan Yue leaned on Ah-Dai's shoulder and closed her eyes. For some reason, as soon as she leaned against Ati's strong shoulders, her drowsiness naturally increased, and she fell asleep after a while.
Xuan Yue fell asleep, but it was hard for Dumb, he sat upright and didn't dare to move, not only had to bear Yue Ji's strange gaze, but also kept his body balanced.
Xuanyue gradually fell into a deep sleep, her hands had already wrapped Ah-Dai's arms, with a look of satisfaction on her face, looking at Xuanyue's peaceful sleeping face, feeling the softness and warmth brought by her delicate body, Ah-Dai's eyes revealed A touch of tenderness.
Since it was noon, the sweltering weather made everyone feel drowsy, and their minds were in a blur.
Suddenly, the advancing carriage came to a sudden stop, and Xi Jinjin let out a sound, as if Wan Li forcibly stopped the horse. The violent shaking woke everyone up, and Xuan Yue's body couldn't help sliding into Dumb's arms amidst the shock. Xuan Yue woke up from the haze, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
Duan was afraid that Xuanyue would misunderstand that he was taking advantage of her, so he hurriedly straightened her body, and said, "I don't know what happened, the carriage seems to have stopped suddenly."
Miao Fei had already jumped out, and Yue Hen and Yue Ji also floated out, leaving Duan and Xuan Yue in the carriage. Dumb said: "Miss, I'll go down and have a look too."
Xuan Yue yawned, and said: "I'm so sleepy, I still have to sleep, your shoulders are so comfortable, don't go, they can solve it." After finishing speaking, she hugged Ah-Dai's arm and closed her arms again. Eye.
Dumb had no choice but to concentrate his ears and listen to the movement outside. There seemed to be many people outside, and a strange voice shouted: "Who are you, what are you doing in our Puyan tribe's territory?"
Yuehen said gently: "Brother soldiers, please, we are members of the Yuehen mercenary group, we are going to the Tianyuan clan, passing through the noble territory on the way, just borrowing the road."
The strange voice snorted, and said: "I don't care if you are mercenaries or not, if you want to go to the Tianyuan clan, you should immediately change the route and take a detour, and you are not allowed to pass through the territory of our Puyan clan."
Dumb was startled, this Puyan tribe is too unreasonable, isn't it even allowed to pass by their territory
Yuehen was not angry because of the other party's indifference, and still said gently: "Brother Soldier, please be accommodating. If we take a detour now, we will have to walk for at least ten days. Everyone is from the Suoyu Federation. , how convenient is it, we promise not to stay in the noble territory and pass through as soon as possible, do you think it will work?"
"Hmph, I've seen people like you a lot. Don't get too close to me. Whoever is your elder brother, leave immediately, otherwise, we will have to chase him away."
Yue Ji's angry voice sounded, "You are too unreasonable, why don't you let us pass, we just want to pass, see what you can do."
The sound of the golden wind sounded, and it seemed that everyone on the other side had drawn out their weapons. Dumb quickly woke Xuanyue up and said, "Miss, it seems that there is going to be a fight outside. You rest here, let me go out and have a look."
Xuan Yue grumbled dissatisfiedly, lying on the bench of the carriage and continuing to dream of her dream.
Duan floated down from the carriage, hid aside and looked out. This is a tree-lined avenue, the road surface is very flat, surrounded by big trees tens of meters high, with dense branches and leaves, the sunlight can only shine on the ground through the gaps. In front of the carriage, the Yuehen brothers and sisters, Miao Fei and Wan Li stood in a row. Opposite them was a group of about twenty light cavalry. They had just drawn out the sabers at their waists, glaring at Yuehen and the other four with a menacing look.
Yuehen said loudly: "Everyone, we are serious mercenaries. Don't you Puyan tribe have no mercenaries? You just use the way to do it. You treat us like this. Our Honghu tribe is not easy to bully."
The leading knight snorted coldly and said, "Red Hurricanes? What else do you Red Hurricanes have besides a few crappy mercenaries? Let me show you your kung fu today, as long as anyone of you can beat me With the long knife in my hand, I will let you go."
His words completely aroused Yuehen's anger, and Yuehen said coldly: "Okay, then I will see what is so great about you Puyan tribe. Little sister, you stand back." As he spoke, he drew out his long sword , staring at the knight on horseback.
The Puyan knight got off his horse, and Duan was surprised to find that this knight was half a head taller than himself. As soon as he got off the horse, his whole body immediately exuded a strong aura. With a big knife more than four feet long on his shoulder, he walked towards Yuehen step by step. Every time he took a step, his aura suddenly became stronger, and he was firmly locked on Yuehen's body.
Yue Hen held his sword in his chest, with a serious look on his face, he never thought that he would meet such a master here.
"Puyan Yanyan asked for advice. Look at the knife." With a loud shout, the yellow grudge on Yanyan suddenly burst out, holding the knife in both hands, and rushed towards Yuehen with a tragic momentum.
Dumb was taken aback, because the moves used by this rock were very similar to the chopping in his Tiangang swordsmanship.
Yuehen was not caught by the opponent's aura, and pointed at the opponent's blade with the silver sword in his hand. With a soft ding sound, Yuehen's silver sword precisely hit the opponent's blade five inches away, the silver light flashed, and abruptly removed the opponent's long knife aside. But because the force on the rock knife was too strong, he was still shocked and took two steps back.
The rock refused to give in, and slashed at Yuehen three times in a row, like lightning, overflowing with fighting spirit, even the dumb beside the carriage could clearly feel the huge strong wind. Yuehen's strength was obviously inferior to the opponent's. His body was erratic, and he launched his own Moon Shadow swordsmanship to deal with the opponent. All of a sudden, strong winds were blowing, and two figures, one yellow and one silver, collided continuously. Yuehen is much stronger than his opponent in terms of flexibility, but he seems to be much worse than the rock in terms of fighting spirit. Under the aggressive momentum of the rock, it is very difficult to support him. Every time the silver sword and the long knife touch, his whole body will tremble. .
When there was a loud noise, Yuehen staggered out three steps, and the silver armor on his shoulder had been swept off by the opponent's blade, obviously losing the wind.
The tip of the rock knife slanted, and said disdainfully: "I told you that you can't do it, but you still don't believe it. Leave our Puyan territory immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Yuehen knew that he was the strongest in the mercenary group, if he couldn't even beat the opponent, there was nothing he could do.
Miao Fei and Wan Li drew out their weapons and put them on both sides of Yuehen. Yueji's silver arrow had already hit the bowstring, and the knights on the horse had already jumped down. Seeing their agile skills and obvious strength Not weak, in terms of momentum, Yuehen and the others suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
"I hate it, disturbing people's sleep, dumb, what are you doing standing here? Let's go and see who is so crazy." It turned out that Xuan Yue got out of the carriage. It was so noisy outside, how could she sleep in the carriage, she had been watching from the gap of the carriage for a long time, and only came out when she saw that the moon marks were losing the wind.
Dumb helped Xuanyue get out of the carriage, Xuanyue rubbed her sleepy eyes, and shouted: "Yuehen, what's the matter, who is so closed-eyed, blocking our way!"
Hearing Xuanyue's voice, all the knights cast their gazes over immediately, and a look of surprise flashed in the rock's eyes, "Magician?"
Duan and Xuanyue walked to Yuehen's side, Xuanyue looked up at the rock, and said coquettishly, "Why are you so tall? You still have to let me look up."
Rock lowered his head, just in time to see Xuanyue's beautiful face, even with his firm determination, he couldn't help being stunned, and murmured: "It's nothing to do with you being tall."
Xuan Yue snorted, and said: "How did you stop us? I heard what you said just now. As long as you can beat you, let us go there, dumb, teach him a lesson."
Duan was taken aback, and said, "Me?" After seeing Rock's performance just now, he was not at all sure of winning.
Xuan Yue said angrily: "Of course it's you, why don't you let me go up. Hurry up and send them away, so we can go on our way."
Dumb responded, took a step forward, and stood in front of the rock.
Rock also had no idea. He had never fought a magician before. He just heard that the magician was very powerful. He didn't know if he could deal with it. He cautiously crossed the long knife and said, "Then come."
Xuan Yue said behind Ah-Dai: "Take out your wall-splitting skills that day, and let him see it."
Although Ah-Dai didn't understand why Xuanyue didn't use him to conceal her martial skills, she still drew the Tiangang Sword behind her. Seeing all this, Yuehen didn't stop him. He had doubts about Duan's epee long ago, so he just took this opportunity to take a look.
Rock saw the astonishment of Duan's Tiangang sword, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still raised his long knife.
Dumb suddenly felt warm all over his body for no reason, and his spirit was lifted up, as if he had inexhaustible power. A layer of faint white light enveloped his body. Glancing at Xuan Yue, she saw Xuan Yue was fiddling with the magic wand in her hand, and made a face at him. The white light was obviously related to her, and it should be a kind of auxiliary magic.
Rock shouted in a deep voice: "Please advise." Still holding the knife in both hands, he slashed at Dumb heavily.
Dumb doesn't care about that. Although he doesn't have rich combat experience, he is most familiar with this kind of slashing. He shouted, swung the Tiangang sword with both hands, and slashed at the opponent in the same way. The white vindictive light suddenly became brighter, and the first one came to meet him. Amidst the loud noise, the rock's long knife and Tiangang sword collided immediately, and the fighting spirit of the two immediately stirred up a small vortex in the dust on the ground.
Dumb felt that his fighting spirit seemed to be much stronger than before. This was not only because of the fact that Shengshengjue had reached the fifth level, but a large part was because of the white light that appeared first.
Rock felt a huge force coming from the opponent's sword, and couldn't help taking a step back. He was always good at strength, but he had never been knocked back by his opponent, especially, the one who knocked him back was actually a magician. He shouted angrily, The long knife struck again, this time, he had used all his strength.
When Ah-Dai was in Shitang Town, facing the waves every day, he did not know how many times he had used chopping and chopping. The sounds of clang, clang, clang kept ringing, and Dumb and Rock kept chopping at each other almost without moving. This was entirely a contest of strength.
After more than a dozen collisions, Duan gradually gained the upper hand. After all, the inexhaustible nature of generating true energy kept him from being exhausted. Duan also took advantage of the weapon, his Tiangang sword was much heavier than the opponent's long knife. Finally, at the eighteenth collision, the rock's long knife was cut off by Dumb, and the Tiangang sword was forced The man's fighting spirit slashed at the rock head-on, Dumb was taken aback. He didn't want to kill people. The many collisions made him feel sorry for the rock. He understood that if it wasn't for Xuanyue's magic, he might not be able to take advantage of it in terms of strength. It's cheap, not to mention that the rock and the moon marks just fought, which took a lot of energy. He flipped his wrist violently, took a step to the right with his right foot, and forced the Tiangang sword aside, and chopped it into the ground with a bang. Forcibly changing moves under the full attack immediately put a huge load on Dumb's body, his chest was hit like a giant hammer, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out.
Yan Yan was already petrified. He had never felt that death was so close to him. Looking at the Tiangang sword cut into the ground, he knew clearly what the consequences would be if the sword fell on him. As soon as it was loosened, half of the long knife fell to the ground.
Xuan Yue ran to Dumb's side, and asked anxiously, "How are you?"
Duan coughed twice, took the Tiangang sword, supported his body, and said, "I'm fine."
Xuan Yue chanted in a low voice: "Great god! Please lend me your divine power of compassion for the world, and heal the wounds in front of you. Divine healing." As the spell was chanted, a ball of magic wand appeared. The white light flashed, and immediately sank into Ah-Dai's body.
A warm feeling immediately flooded Duan's meridians. His vital qi already had a certain sacred aura, and Xuanyue's light magic submerged in his body immediately stimulated his own vitality, and his chest felt much more comfortable.
After taking a long breath, Ah Dui nodded at Xuan Yue and said, "Thank you, miss."
The Puyan soldiers who came with Yan all jumped off their horses one by one, guarding Yan's side, holding their sabers high, looking menacing, as if they were about to strike at any time.
Dumb raised his head and looked at the rock, which was still in a sluggish state, as if he couldn't believe that he would fail. "Brother, I don't know if your words count or not. You can let us go now." Duan said very politely, with a faint smile on his face. The sword just now scared him a lot. He was happy from the bottom of his heart that he didn't hurt the rock in the end.
Rock was awakened by Ah-Dai's voice, with an embarrassing look on his face, he said to Ah-Dai: "Brother, you are really good at it, thank you for your mercy, Rock has admitted it. Can I ask you, the weapon you use is the Tiangang Sword Is it?"
Dumb nodded, and said, "It's the Tiangang Sword."
A gleam of joy flashed in Yan Yan's eyes, and he walked towards Ah-Dai, Wan Li hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Ah-Dai, looked at Yan Yan vigilantly and said, "What are you going to do?"
Rock spread out his hands, his previous arrogance was gone, and he said kindly: "I don't mean any harm, I just want to say a few words to this brother."
Xuan Yue leaned over to Ah-Dai, and said: "What's there to say, Ah-Dai has already won you, it's time for us to pass, our time is very tight."
Rock looked at Xuanyue, then at Dumb, and said, "Brother, my name is Rock. When I was young, I was taught by Teacher Xi Wen, the eldest disciple of Tiangang Sword Master, for a few days. Speaking of which, we are still in the same sect. I really have no ill intentions, since you are related to the Tiangang faction, you should not be a bad person, and you can pass through our territory."
Duan was taken aback, and said: "So Big Brother Rock is also from the Tiangang Sword Sect! My uncle is also, my name is Dumb, and my uncle taught me the Tiangang Sword. Big Brother Rock, then let's go first."
Rock chuckled and said, "Well, it can be said that it is difficult for us Puyan people inside and outside the country to walk an inch, so I will escort you for a while."
The sudden change made it difficult for Yuehen and Yueji to adapt, Yueji snorted coldly and said: "Who knows what you are so relieved to enter your territory and not let you slaughter me?"
Rock said slightly angrily: "I swear on the name of the son of the Patriarch of the Puyan tribe, I, Rock, absolutely have no duplicity."
Except for Duan and Xuanyue, the four members of the Moonscar Mercenary Group were shocked at the same time. They never expected that the big man in front of him was the son of the head of the Puyan clan, one of the six major races in the Souyu Federation.
Xuan Yue fiddled with the magic wand in her hand, and said indifferently: "Who cares whose son you are, go if you want to go together. Brother Yuehen, let's get in the carriage." After finishing speaking, she turned and walked towards the carriage.
"Brother Dumb." Rock stopped Dumb who was about to get into the carriage with Xuanyue, and said, "Let's ride together, I have something to ask you."
Dumb turned to look at Xuanyue, Xuanyue glanced at the rock, and said, "Go, go, if your injury is broken, I don't care about you. Hmph." After finishing speaking, she got into the carriage.
Rock chuckled, asked one of his men to give up his mount to Dumb, and shouted, "Brothers, the road is open."
This was the first time for Dumb to ride a horse, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When he first got on the horse, the tall horse couldn't help shaking. With a weight of more than one hundred catties, plus the weight of the Tiangang Sword, it was indeed a bit heavy. Dui grabbed the reins tightly, his legs clamped tightly around the horse's belly, and his face looked embarrassed, because his horse stayed where it was and didn't move forward at all.
Looking at Dumb's posture, Rock knew that he couldn't ride a horse, so he smiled and said, "What? Brother Dumb, is this your first time riding a horse?"
Dumb blushed and nodded.
Rock smiled and said: "It's okay, in fact, riding a horse is very simple, my brother will teach you a few tricks. Don't be so stiff all over your body, relax a little, lean forward, lightly tap the horse's belly, and it will move forward, yes, yes, That's it. Don't draw the rein too tight, loosen it more, or the horse will be uncomfortable. Look, isn't this very good? When turning a corner, your body should lean in that direction accordingly, and then take it lightly Just put the rein, and the horse will obey your command. When you want it to stop, you have to sit back and hold the rein with both hands at the same time, and that’s it.”
Dumb followed the method Yan Yan said, and he really drove the horse under his crotch, and slowly began to accelerate, bouncing and bouncing, which felt very wonderful.
Yue Hen and the others had already got into the carriage, and as soon as they got into the carriage, Miao Fei couldn't wait to ask Xuan Yue: "Miss Xuan Yue, why haven't I heard you say that dumb people know martial arts before!"
Xuan Yue glared at him, and said, "Do we have to tell you everything we have? Who said Dumb knows martial arts, he just has more strength."
Yuehen and the others have practiced martial arts for many years. When Dumb fought against Rock just now, the aura and skill shown were not just stronger, especially the faint white grudge, which was a symbol of a master of martial arts. Yuehen grabbed Yueji who was about to ask, and shook her head gently at her. Miao Fei got bored and didn't ask any more questions. Xuan Yue leaned against the back of the chair beside her and fell asleep again. There was silence in the carriage for a while, only the sound of the wheels rolling and the horseshoes hitting the ground.
After a while, Ah-Dai has easily adapted to some simple horse riding movements, and with the help of the rock, he can already follow him.
Rock led Dumb to the front, and told his subordinates not to get too close, and then said: "Brother Dumb, thank you for your mercy just now, otherwise, hey..."
Duan scratched his head and said, "Brother Yan, don't say that, we don't have any deep hatred, how could I hurt you, we really just want to pass through the noble territory."
Rock nodded and said, "It's all my fault for being too impulsive. However, our Puyan tribe has always had some hostility towards other races on the mainland, which is why the previous scene appeared. But since you have to pass on to the Tiangang Sword Sect, then Naturally, there will be no problems, Tiangang Sword Sect is synonymous with justice! Oh, yes, brother, this is for you." With that, Rock took out a longan-sized pill from his arms and handed it to Dumb.
Duan reached out to take it, and asked, "Brother Rock, what is this?"
Shi Yan smiled and said, "Brother, eat it quickly. This is the healing holy medicine of our Puyan tribe. It is very effective. Just now, in order not to hurt me, you made a temporary move and vomited blood again. , The internal injury is definitely not serious, you don’t have to worry about it if you eat it, it won’t take half a day, get ready.”
Ah-Dai put the MieShang Pill on his nose and smelled it, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Rock, this MieShang Pill is very precious! It contains the ingredients of Star Grass, Tongjin Fruit, and Biluohua, all of which are very precious Medicinal materials, do you really want to give them to me?" After staying with Corris for a year, Dui can already distinguish medicinal materials by their smell.
Rock was taken aback, and said: "Brother, I didn't expect you to know medicinal materials! Only the prophets in the clan know the exact formula of Mieshang Pill, but it seems that you have all the ingredients you mentioned. You were injured because of me." Yes, eat it, it will do a lot of good for your injury."
Dumb nodded, and said, "Thank you, Brother Rock." After speaking, he removed the wax coat from Mieshang Pill and ate it.
Rock chuckled and said: "Brother, don't be polite to me. To be honest, I really admire your skill. When you grow up so big, there are really few people of your age who can beat me. You are the first , In the past, I was really too arrogant, I am really a human being! When I think of your last sword, I am still afraid even now."
After taking the MieShang Pill, a stream of heat immediately flowed to the Dantian, spreading all over the body in an instant. It was so warm and indescribably comfortable, the pain in the chest completely disappeared, and the vital energy in the body was more condensed under the stimulation of the power of the medicine, Dumb He slightly adjusted his breath, and said: "The medicinal power of the Mieshang Pill is really strong, and my injuries are almost healed. Brother Rock, in fact, my strength is not as good as yours, but the Tiangang Sword is heavier than yours. Ms. Xuanyue may have blessed me with auxiliary magic, so I won against you."
