Chapter 153 Escape
The valley is more than ten feet wide, but the two banks are hundreds of feet high. Moreover, the forest here is luxuriant and the birds and insects are chirping, making it quite eerie.
Looking into the valley, you can see the huge boulder lying across the valley. The top is covered with moss and vines, and it has long since disappeared from the spectacular scene when the iron metamorphism caused the disaster.
"You wait here, I'll go explore first." Lin Bai said.
"How can we let you take risks alone?" Yang Huan grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve.
"There is a pangolin here, and it is very vicious." Lin Bai said with an upright face, "If something goes wrong with you, how will I deal with it?"
"But what if something happens to you?" Yang Huan asked.
"You and I are good friends. I have been here before, so I should make a trip for you." Lin Bai waved his hand and sighed, "If I really... just go back by yourself. I just hope that every time you drink, I still remember a drinking buddy named Yun Zhonghe.”
"You..." Yang Huan was stunned and quickly grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve.
"So what if you risk your life for the sake of your friend? Just wait for my news." Lin Bai broke Yang Huan's hand and stepped into the valley resolutely.
Yang Huan stared blankly at Lin Bai's back, feeling that this person was really nice.
Lin Bai walked around twice and came to Tie Huasheng's old residence. Seeking good luck and avoiding danger, he moved the rocks away and went inside to explore.
The cave is no longer as clean as it used to be. The ground was very damp and bugs were crawling around.
Lin Bai searched around and found no trace of Huang Ruhua. As expected, she had gone far away and had no idea where she was going.
After leaving the cave and sealing it up, Lin Bai went to look for Yang Huan.
"You're back." Yang Huan was worried.
Lin Bai nodded and took her into the valley.
After passing Tiehuasheng's old residence and going a little further, you will see a small fork in the valley on the left, which can only be passed by one person.
According to what Huang Ruhua said, there is a basin-like spiritual place in this fork in the road, called Huaguo Lin, where a group of monkeys gather together, and the monkey wine comes from here.
"You swear on your own life that what we did and what we saw and heard this time will not be told to anyone else," Lin Bai said.
A phantom gourd appeared behind Yang Huan and said: "I, Yang Huanhuan, swear here that I will never talk too much. If I eat, I will smash the pot and teach me not to drink alcohol in my life!"
This oath is not cruel, but to Yang Huan, it is already a poisonous oath.
After entering the small fork in the road and walking a few hundred feet, I heard the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. After walking a few feet, it suddenly became clear.
There is a dense forest in front, with trees a hundred feet high and connected by vines. Birds and butterflies are flying, and there are also many flowers and fruit trees. From time to time, monkeys are seen passing through, picking spiritual fruits.
There are about hundreds of monkeys here, most of them are beasts that have not introduced Qi into their bodies. There are only a dozen Qi training monkeys, and the leader is an advanced Qi practitioner.
The two of them explored in tandem, startling many birds and monkeys. There were many monkeys throwing stones at Lin and Yang, and many monkeys pretended not to see them and just had sex.
"I heard from Yang Shu that you slept with a monkey." Yang Huan looked at the monkeys mating with a smile, and then looked at Lin Bai.
"He even told you such a thing?" Lin Bai smiled, "He was guarding the door for me outside at that time."
"Hehehehe," Yang Huanhehehehe, she patted Lin Bai on the shoulder, "Let me guard the door for you next time."
The two of them took Xiandan and saw that there was no danger, so they found a place to brew wine.
The so-called monkey wine is made by monkeys picking fruits, hiding them in tree holes, and then sealing their mouths to store food. The fruits are fermented in the cave and become wine, hence the name Houer wine.
The four seasons here are like spring, spiritual fruits are always growing, and the monkeys are not short of food. Ordinary monkeys do not drink, only a few qi-training monkeys come to drink.
There were dozens of tree holes where wine was stored. Yang Huan's eyes were bright, she stretched out her hand to get the wine, and put it all into her big gourd.
Lin Bai was on guard for her. Seeing that she seemed to be trying to catch all the fish, he quickly grabbed some too.
The wine gourd given by Gao Yuanyuan in the past was really a good thing. It could hold hundreds of kilograms of wine, and Lin Bai filled it all up.
After the two of them finished their work, Lin Bai saw that she could no longer hold it in any longer, so he quickly patted her arm and said seriously: "I told you when I came here that you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the mountains!"
"If you don't want to drink, don't drink." Yang Huan hugged the gourd and muttered again. "You are only allowed to sleep with monkeys, and I am not allowed to drink monkey wine."
"It's over here. If you know the way back, go back alone." Lin Bai chased people away, "I need to go find Gu Feixue's whereabouts again."
In fact, Lin Bai wanted to stay in Tiehuasheng's old residence for half a month, just to deal with the Gu family's errands.
"Aren't you going to come with me? You are an alchemy master and you can't fight, so why bother trying so hard?" Yang Huan asked curiously.
"Since I promised Yang Shu and Gu Fang to go find Gu Feixue, how can I break my promise?" Lin Bai put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky, and said solemnly: "I promise you that I won't exchange it for one hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones. Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, what should I fear?”
"Then I'll stay too! Since you can accompany me to get the wine, how can I let you face the enemy alone?" Yang Huan nodded seriously.
"..." Seeing that he had gone too far, Lin Bai hurriedly said: "I told you when you came here that you need to obey my orders! Are you not listening now?"
Yang Huan held it in for a long time and could only nod.
After sending the drunkard out of the valley, Lin Bai repeatedly warned not to drink alcohol on the way back, but Yang Huan complied perfunctorily.
Seeing her gradually walking away, Lin Bai entered the valley again and explored for a few miles. There was no danger, so he returned to Tie Huasheng's old residence.
Lin Bai also had no intention of practicing. Thinking about the matter of iron transformation, he couldn't help but think of the past.
Now everything is going well for Sister Pei, and her practice is going smoothly. As for Xiuxiu...
Lin Bai looked inside. In the past, there was only a thin moon-white thread outside the mist, but now it has become one link after another, forming the climate.
"Xiuxiu entered the country faster than Sister Pei, and she seems to be quite talented in numerology Yin and Yang."
Lin Bai was thinking that when he got back, he would have a good chat with Qu Ruyi and look for a chance to meet that girl Xiuxiu.
I still miss her.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and my cultivation level improved again.
Seeking good luck and avoiding evil, Lin Bai came out of the cave.
After walking around for a while, we headed out of the valley.
After walking not far, three people walked towards us.
There are two women and one man. The woman in the middle is in her late twenties, has long hair, wears a light green shirt, has a calm face, and is extremely beautiful, not inferior to Sister Pei.
On her left was a middle-aged woman wearing a Qiaoshan sect's standard robe; on her right was a handsome male cultivator in his mid-twenties, wearing a Tianchi sect's robe.
Enemies really met on a narrow road, so Lin Bai nodded as a salute.
"Fellow Taoist, can you gain something from this?" the middle-aged female cultivator asked with a smile.
"I didn't get anything." Lin Bai smiled and patted the gourd on his waist and said, "I just happened to get some monkey wine."
"Are you a casual cultivator?" the middle-aged woman asked.
"Exactly." Lin Bai smiled.
"What monsters are there in the valley?" the middle-aged female cultivator asked again.
"Seven miles ahead, there is a mountain forest where a foundation-building leopard lives." Lin Bai said.
The middle-aged female cultivator from Qiaoshan Sect looked at the beautiful woman in the middle, who nodded slightly.
"Please." The middle-aged female cultivator nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand, and cleared the way.
Lin Bai bowed and saluted.
At this moment, the male cultivator from Tiantianchi came close to the beautiful beauty, whispered a few words, and then smiled strangely at Lin Bai.
"Are you Yun Zhonghe?" The beautiful Xiu said in a very calm voice, with a slight smile on her face. Am I so famous? Lin Bai bowed his head and said, "I'm just the one. Dare you ask your friend's name?"
"Since you are here to look for Gu Feixue, you should know my name." The woman's voice was calm, "I am Yue Xixia."
This is the first of the three direct disciples of the head of the Qiaoshan Sect, and he is also a descendant of Yue Fengshu.
"I've heard about the name for a long time." Lin Bai knew that another fight was about to happen.
"My junior brother Wang Ping is obsessed with Pei Ning, but she doesn't know what is good or bad." Yue Xixia said calmly, "If you hadn't come to Mianlong Mountain, my junior brother wouldn't have had to come here."
"I also fall in love with Senior Sister Yue. I wonder if Senior Sister can give me a favor and spend the evening together?" Lin Bai said with a smile.
"How dare you!" The young male cultivator was furious and flew up, making waves with his long sword and heading towards Lin Bai.
Lin Bai's second-level Fire Lin Sword has also flown out, bringing out a roaring fire and the meaning of annihilation.
The man followed the sword. When the male cultivator saw that Lin Bai was so bold, he did not stop at all, "So you practice swordsmanship!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw two swords intersecting and there was a roar. The male cultivator felt a chill in his heart and he hurriedly wanted to retreat when he saw a flying knife flying towards him. The power was more than twice as powerful as the flying sword just now.
He took out a stone mountain spiritual weapon and tried to block it, but saw Lin Bai abandon him and go straight to the two women behind him. But just for a moment, a red flying knife came out of his belly.
"Senior sister, be careful, this person is hiding his clumsiness!" Yue Xixia took out a red damask and waved her sleeves to shed light clouds.
"Kill him!" A shadow in golden armor lit up behind the middle-aged female cultivator, but behind Lin Bai, a blurry shadow appeared in the mist, and there seemed to be a jade-like stone millstone slowly rotating.
For a moment, the valley was silent, with the faint sound of cicadas chirping. Yue Xixia looked horrified and waved her red silk ribbon, but the person disappeared. The middle-aged female cultivator pushed out a palm, but there was no sound and her eyes were blank.
Lin Bai landed next to the middle-aged female cultivator and looked back.
I saw that the male cultivator of the Chi sect had fallen to his knees that day, with a hole in his belly, and he was burning.
And right next to the male cultivator, Yue Xixia stood up with a frown on her face.
The flying knife fell into his hand, Lin Bai took a step back and cut the throat of the middle-aged female cultivator.
The middle-aged female cultivator didn't resist in the slightest. The wrinkles on her face rose and fell, her hair gradually turned white, and blood spurted out of her throat. She just knelt on the ground, pressed her neck with one hand, and reached out to Yue Xixia with the other hand, and made a sound in her mouth. Seems to be asking for help.
"The secret method of Dead Wood Zen?" Yue Xixia held the red silk in her hand and looked sideways at the strand of snow-white in her hair. She no longer looked indifferent.
"Escape magic power?" Lin Bai was equally vigilant.
"Such a magical power can only be used in the early stages of foundation building. How many times can you use it?" Yue Xixia sneered.
"You are so scared, how many times can you use your escape magic power?" Lin Bai saw through her guilty conscience.
"Get up!" Yue Xixia waved her red silk ribbon, and clouds of clouds spread all over the place.
"Come out!" The thick fog dispersed and soon covered this place.
Yue Xixia took a step forward and disappeared again.
Lin Bai was on guard, and suddenly felt something in his heart. He didn't hesitate at all, and immediately threw the talisman behind him.
With a rumble, the two talismans met, bursting out with an extremely dazzling green color, showing full of vitality.
Neither of them held anything back, and showed their cards when they came up.
"How come you have my master's talisman?" Yue Xixia appeared with shock on her face, "Did you kill Wang Ping?"
"Now Wang Ping has been reduced to ashes." Lin Bai's face turned pale and he laughed uncontrollably.
"Traitor!" Yue Xixia then stepped forward, her body stunned, "You..." She stepped back repeatedly, "What kind of magical power is this mist? It can actually block spiritual consciousness!"
She immediately waved the red silk ribbon, and a strong wind suddenly rose, breaking the mist, but then the mist surged back again, seemingly endless.
"But the escape method can't be used? Your escape method needs to borrow the rays of light, so that you can escape in the rays of light. Now you are in the clouds and mist in my sleeve. Can you not feel the rays of light?" Lin Bai smiled.
This Yue Xixia's escape method is far worse than Sister Zhen's escape method.
Yue Xixia looked at the three flying knives hanging next to Lin Bai. She held the red silk in her hand and remained silent. This time her escape magic power was restrained, the talisman was used again, and she couldn't escape the sword cultivator.
"Senior sister, you are weak and I am strong. If you still have some back-up, feel free to use it." Lin Bai walked towards her, "Actually, I have fallen in love with you just now when we first met. As long as you let me kiss you, I will never kill you. ”
"You..." Yue Xixia staggered back, "Are you serious?"
"All I want is beauty." Lin Bai smiled.
Yue Xixia was silent for a moment, with a look of extreme grievance on her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "You need to swear a poisonous oath."
This is the weakness of high-ranking disciples.
After hearing her words, Lin Bai knew that she must have no backup plan and had lost her will to resist.
"Senior sister, what poisonous oath do you want to hear?" Lin Bai stepped forward and stopped ten steps away. He stopped probing with words and shot out three flying knives.
"You don't keep your word!" Yue Xixia put up the red silk ribbon, and suddenly her vest became hot, and a flying knife came out of her belly. The wound was scorched black and smoke was rising.
Lin Bai kept holding on, and the fire in Yue Xixia's belly became even more intense, "I'm so used to living a good life, I thought everyone had to give in to you! You have the intention of harming me first, how can I dare to sleep with you? Miaomiao is not like this Naive! ”
When Lin Bai saw that she and Wang Ping were returning home together by different routes, and that their fellow apprentices and brothers were in the same acupuncture point, Lin Bai waved his hand to close the mist.
Looking back at the depths of the valley, Lin Bai's face darkened and he hurried away.
A figure appeared in front of him, galloping non-stop, only the figure swayed, leaving a strong smell of alcohol.
"Yang Huan! If you run away again, don't blame me for not recognizing our past friendship!" Lin Bai said.
Yang Huan hesitated for a moment, stopped and knelt down, "I didn't see anything!"
She closed her eyes, her body smelled heavily of alcohol, and her body was trembling.
Obviously, she saw it, at least she knew what happened, and she understood the strength of her and Lin Bai.
"Didn't you leave? Why are you here?" Lin Bai asked.
Yang Huan knelt on the ground with her eyes closed tightly and a big gourd hanging on her waist. She said, "I was afraid that something would happen to you alone, so... I secretly burped..." She burped and quickly covered her mouth with her hands. But it can't cover up the aroma of fruit wine. "Come back secretly..."
"When did you come back?" Lin Bai asked.
"I...I stayed outside for two days, and then...I came back..." Yang Huan still closed his eyes.
"Always in the flower and fruit forest?" Lin Bai asked again.
"Yes..." Yang Huan.
"Are you looking for me, or do you want to drink?" Lin Bai was displeased.
"I..." Yang Huan opened her eyes and whispered: "You have them all." After she finished speaking, she quickly added: "I have been looking for you for several days, but I couldn't find you, so I went to drink."< br>
Lin Bai had a severe headache. Silence her, she has good intentions; don't silence her, killing Yue Xixia is too big a deal.
"You really didn't see it?" Lin Bai asked.
"No, no, no, I've been drunk for a long time, I don't remember anything, I didn't see anything." Yang Huan's head turned into a rattle.
"Okay." Lin Bai nodded, "You can go."
"Eh?" Yang Huan was stunned, then stood up, "Then I'm leaving..." She pointed outside the valley, took a few steps forward, her eyes were still looking at Lin Bai, as if she still didn't believe it.
"Are you really leaving?" Lin Bai smiled.
