Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 112: The Yellow Bird Behind
"Who is here? How dare you invade our Tianlong Sect camp at night, retreat quickly!" Meng Shan stood like a pine tree and shouted like thunder.
Immediately, the two of them were unmoved, and a broken gong's voice sounded: "The road is facing the sky, each go to one side. You are allowed to camp here by the Tianlong Sect, and you are allowed to wait here to rest!"
Before the man finished speaking, a high-pitched voice sounded again: "We are heroes from the eighteen counties of Jiangzhou. We heard that the Tianlong sect went east to find immortals, so we came here to join us. Hehe! I waited in Qinshui to no avail. That’s why Baba came after me. As brothers in the world, we should keep watch and help each other from now on!”
"Yes, we are also going to find the fairy island."
"The Tianlong sect cannot eat alone!"
"..."
Behind the two of them, there was another shouting and echoing sound.
"Bold! We, the Tianlong Sect, are the ones you can use to coerce us!" Ji Tang was furious. His long sword clattered out of its sheath, and the tip of the sword flashed with silver light. He pointed at the two men on horseback and cursed: "You are chasing me thousands of miles away. , Could it be that he was in a hurry to reincarnate, so he asked Ji Tang to send the rats on their way today!"
"Don't bother me! If you have something to discuss, if you have something to discuss, it's easy to discuss, haha!" A high-pitched voice sounded again: "This is the famous second senior brother, I have admired you for a long time! Haha! I'll wait for you after running for a long distance. It’s hard to catch up with the masters. It’s dark at this moment and it’s difficult to walk. How about you let me wait and camp aside? I won’t disturb you!”
Meng Shan took a step forward, stopped Jitang, and said coldly: "Humph! How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Tianlong sent Meng Shan to advise everyone not to do anything that would cause anger and resentment. Meng and you have two choices, one is to hurry up Get away from this place quickly and don’t get entangled again; the other is to step back five miles and deal with it tomorrow if you have something to do.”
"It turns out that Elder Meng is here. I'm sorry!" The high-pitched voice was filled with joy.
As soon as the horse turned around, the man on the horse shouted: "We will obey the elder's order, brothers! Move back five miles to camp, and tomorrow we will discuss with the experts of Tianlong Sect about going east!"
The broken gong's voice sounded: "That's pretty much it, hum!"
The other rider also retreated and asked, "How can we care about tomorrow?"
The high-pitched voice said with a smile: "There are many people like me and the horses are fast. They can't run away or get rid of them. They can only let us follow them eastward!"
Dozens of men and horses roared away, and the night sky was filled with choking dust.
Ji Tang took back the sword bitterly, "Elder Meng——?"
Meng Shan's face was gloomy, his eyes were chasing the figures retreating under the moonlit night, his voice was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "No need to say more, I have my own opinion!"
It was a false alarm, and everyone in the Tianlong Sect breathed a sigh of relief, but no one stopped laughing or joking. Everyone set up their tents, sleeping when it was time to sleep, and keeping vigil when it was time to keep vigil, and the camp became calm.
In an unnoticed corner, Lin Yi, under the cart, opened his eyes and fell into deep thought. Naturally, I could clearly hear the conversation between Elder Meng and the visitor just now. These people could not escape his consciousness. Among the thirty or forty people, there were the two people who passed by Anxi Town during the day. This group of people seemed to have defeated the Tianlong Sect by virtue of their strength in numbers.
Elder Meng's calmness and confidence made Lin Yi feel that things were not that simple. On Wangxi Road, this person is not so easy to talk to.
The moon is halfway up in the sky, when the sky reaches its peak. Under the silent night, two figures quietly flew out of the Tianlong Sect camp, fled into the distance, and disappeared in the vast moonlight in an instant. Lin Yi, who was huddled under the car, also disappeared silently in an instant.
Lin Yi's consciousness was always locked around the camp. If someone left the camp, there was no way he could escape his notice.
A few days ago in Wangxi Town, these two people also left in the middle of the night. Although Lin Yi was curious, he didn't care. But along the way, I always felt that since this No. 1 sect in the world gave up the convenient waterway of Qinshui and chose the east road through northern Xinjiang, it also couldn't avoid the crowds of Jianghu comrades who flocked to it. But why does the Tianlong Sect still do this? Is there something hidden behind this?
This journey to the east is thousands of miles away. If I remain ignorant, I still don’t know whether I will be able to successfully board the ship to the east!
Now camping in the wilderness, Lin Yi would naturally not let go of the opportunity to uncover the doubts in his heart.
The two people in front were extremely fast, one behind the other, pulling out two faint figures, galloping non-stop. Lin Yi stayed far behind, not daring to get too close.
Biyunsha can fly, but it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Lin Yizhen is reluctant to fly into the sky until the critical moment. Although flying felt good, the feeling of spiritual energy depletion was equally uncomfortable, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
It would be nice if Biyun Sha was as good as my own wind control technique, and the loss of spiritual energy was low, so that I could fly in the air at will. It seems that it is still due to the limitation of cultivation.
In the jade slips left by Master Xuanyuan, there is little mention of flying spiritual weapons and magic weapons. Think about it, an expert in the Foundation Establishment Stage can fly with a sword, and the flying spiritual weapon will no longer be used. Disciples in the Qi training stage are not allowed to fly, and even if they have flying magic weapons, they move very slowly. Fang Qiaoer regards Biyunsha as her beloved thing, perhaps because of her lower level of cultivation and abundant aura!
Lin Yi followed the two of them back for half an hour, and saw the two of them slowing down in front of a dry river valley. Just as Lin Yi was about to sneak closer, he felt a chill in his heart, turned into a breeze, and suddenly retreated away.
More than a dozen people suddenly emerged from the river valley. After a brief exchange with the two people they were looking for, they used Qing Kung Fu one by one and galloped towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi retreated hastily, not forgetting to explore the opponent's movements.
With less than a mile away from the other party, Lin Yi didn't want to be chased by this group of people from behind. Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and threw out the green cloud yarn, and a blue cloud went straight up into the sky.
At a height of no less than a hundred feet from the ground, Lin Yi stabilized the green cloud yarn, hid in the blue cloud, and looked down.
Under the moonlight, more than ten people stretched out a long line, and the person in the front took the lead, leaving the people behind far behind. The people behind had good light skills, but they could only follow closely and run forward.
The scene on the ground made Lin Yi in the air look stunned. Things were really not that simple!
Without caring about much, Lin Yi took out a spiritual stone and held it in his hand, driving the green cloud yarn, slowly following in the air, and dared not get closer. If he hadn't been careful just now, his invisibility technique might not work, and he was afraid that he would be hit by the other party.
Lin Yi followed the two people and made a detour in the middle. Now he ran straight all the way, and soon two bonfires appeared in front.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi had an epiphany. As expected, the dozen people running on the ground had already drawn their weapons and rushed forward without hesitation.
The thirty or forty people around the bonfire suddenly jumped up alertly, shouting continuously.
In the light of the fire, seeing that the enemy attackers were few, the group relied on their own numbers and drew their weapons to form a circle, ready to fight to the death. The dozen people who had been running for a long distance were like tigers jumping into a pack of wolves. In the close combat, there were constant howlings, and in a flash, several people fell to the ground.
Lin Yi could see clearly that these people sitting in a circle were not opponents, although they were fearless. After a while, some people looked for horses to escape.
A silver light suddenly lit up in the night sky, flying among the crowd as fast as a firefly.
The people who were crowded together could not avoid it. After the firefly passed, blood was scattered like a gourd, and the bodies were scattered. Several people who were fleeing on horses were also caught up by the firefly and passed through their bodies. There were several more corpses in the wilderness.
In just a few minutes, the thirty or forty people who had just gathered together were all dead and turned into broken arms and limbs on the ground. The dozen or so people who had rushed all the way were safe and sound, walking around and cleaning up the slaughterhouse.
Several balls of fire suddenly lit up and fell to the ground. The corpses on the ground were like dead firewood, burning with flames. As a burning smell rose, the corpses turned into ashes in an instant, and were then blown away by a gust of wind.
Dozens of lives were so simply lost in the wilderness.
Under the bright moonlight, there were dozens of lonely ghosts.
In the air two miles away, Lin Yi, with a stiff face, stared blankly at everything in front of him, his heart cold. He then understood what Elder Meng meant by his words. One is to leave now and not entangle. The other is to stay five miles away and deal with it another day. One is a way to live, and the other is a way to die.
Elder Meng had made a decision at that time, and these people thought their plan was successful, but they didn't know that the moonlit night was also the time for the dead.
When the Tianlong Sect killed those vendors on Wangxi Road, they showed no mercy. Now they slaughtered these thirty or forty people, and they were also merciless.
The holy place in the world, the number one sect in the world, acted ruthlessly and resolutely, and should be the first in the world! For the coercion of fellow martial artists, even if it was such a big event as being besieged at the mountain gate, the Tianlong Sect still treated kindness as courtesy and morality first. Now, Lin Yi realized how terrible it was behind the Tianlong Sect's blind tolerance.
Dozens of lives! Among these people, not all of them were damned people who had done all kinds of bad things. Just because they touched the reverse scale of the Tianlong Sect, they embarked on a road of no return. Who is right and who is wrong, no one can tell clearly. In the face of profit, the weak are eaten by the strong, and the Tianlong Sect is no different from chicken-crowing and dog-stealing people. And his own powerful strength is enough to make the demons and monsters become sanctimonious and make people worship him.
And behind his pretending to be in the Tianlong Sect and swallowing his anger, isn't there also an ulterior motive?
In the face of profit, will he also do whatever it takes? In this way, what's the use of getting it?
Standing in the air for a long time, unaware of the people leaving on the ground, Lin Yi looked up blankly, staring at the bright moon.
The bright moon, which is about to be full, emits a clean and holy light, cleansing the soul and making people forget themselves.
In two days, after the full moon, it will be the time of waning again.
The moon waxes and wanes but remains bright. At the time of the new moon and full moon, isn't it the will of heaven?
Where there are people, there are disputes, and there are rivers and lakes. I can't help but go with the flow, but I still have to go against the will of heaven and take an extraordinary path.
No matter how the world rolls or how the rivers and lakes change, I am still myself.
Just like this bright moon, sometimes waxing and sometimes waning, but always as bright as ever!
