He found a few green vines and connected them together. They were about seven or eight feet long. One end was tied to the tree trunk next to him, and the other end was held on his arm. Liu Xiaolou jumped down. When he was still about ten feet away from the ground, the green vines The vine had come to an end, so he abandoned the vine and looked for a protruding rock to fall down. After using his feet to gain strength, he continued to jump downward.
When he jumped again, the root of an old tree he landed on was rotten, and he was immediately stepped on and broke. Liu Xiaolou's body fell straight down.
After all, I have been practicing for ten years, and I don’t feel panic at all. I grasp my hands and search for something I can grab for strength wherever I can see, whether it’s a piece of grass, a stone, or a crack in the stone, and so on. The next time, I glanced at my feet from the corner of my eye and estimated that it was less than four or five feet to the bottom of the stream, so I somersaulted in the air and fell into the stream, causing a splash of water.
He still had little experience in jumping off cliffs, and his posture was wrong when he landed. He landed on his butt first, which made him grimace in pain.
Liu Xiaolou rubbed his butt, regained his strength and continued on his way, and started climbing after a few steps.
With his level of cultivation, climbing a cliff is much easier than descending it. Although it takes a long time, it is better because it is safer. A moment later, he had climbed to the old pine tree on the top of the cliff, his true energy was flowing, and he turned over.
Looking back, I feel proud in such a dangerous place, but I feel like walking on flat ground.
When I was feeling proud, a piece of green vine was suddenly thrown from the opposite side, wrapped around the old pine tree at my feet several times, and then straightened and tightened.
A figure floated up on the ivy, wearing a bamboo hat, and his face could not be seen clearly. He glanced at Liu Xiaolou and said, "On your way?" He walked away without waiting for a reply.
Liu Xiaolou said "Ah", looked at his back as he walked away gracefully, then looked at the ivy that formed the rope bridge, patted his forehead, and the excitement suddenly disappeared.
He turned around and hurried on, but after walking a few steps, the man in a bamboo hat who had just built the rope bridge stopped in front of him, looking at him suspiciously. Liu Xiaolou was alert, his true energy was flowing, and he was ready to engage the enemy.
Don't think you can build a rope bridge. I'm afraid of you. At worst, you've done it once!
"Brother Liu Xian?" The man suddenly spoke, and then laughed: "The night was so dark that I almost didn't recognize him. You are such a good brother!" As he said that, he took off his hat.
Liu Xiaolou was shocked for a while: "Master Zuoxia? This is really... a coincidence..."
This person is Zuo Fengfeng, who is also a casual cultivator of Wulong Mountain. The cultivation cave is located in Banmu Gorge, seventeen or eight miles away from Liu Xiaolou's Qianzhu Ridge, separated by five or six mountains, so it is rare to see him usually.
In the past, if I met Zuo Gaofeng by chance, they would usually ignore each other and just nod at most. However, after Wei Hongqing blackmailed him into giving him a gift half a year ago, we started to feel sympathy for each other.
"We haven't seen you for half a year. How are you, brother Liu Xian?"
"Thanks to Master Zuoxia, it's not bad."
"Where do you want to go, my dear brother, in the middle of the night?"
"My younger brother wants to visit friends in eastern Hunan. Where is the owner of the gorge?"
"Zuo went to Shimen to visit relatives. It's a coincidence that I met my good brother tonight, haha."
"It's really fate, haha."
"In that case, we can go together."
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
So the two teamed up and crossed Wuling Mountain together.
As expected, the mountains are teeming with insects and snakes, and we encounter quite a few along the way. Zuo Gaofeng is on the seventh level of Qi Refining, and his cultivation level is four levels higher than Liu Xiaolou. Now they are traveling together. Ordinary insects and snakes are not a threat to them, but the iron-headed silver krait they encountered in the forest is really troublesome. If Liu Xiaolou met Liu Xiaolou alone, he might not be able to get any benefits, but with Zuo Gaofeng at his side, one of them lured the enemy from the front, and the other of them went around and attacked from behind. It took a short time to take down this highly venomous spiritual snake.
The snake gallbladder was given to Liu Xiaolou, who swallowed it in one gulp without any delay. This is the most spiritual part of the Bungara snake. After swallowing it, a strong spiritual power circulated in the body. After being refined into true essence by Liu Xiaolou, it went straight to his eyes and gathered at the Jingming point, opening up the Jingming point in one fell swoop.
Jingming point is an acupuncture point in the Taiyang Meridian of Foot. Liu Xiaolou has not yet practiced this meridian, but unexpectedly, a piece of snake gall opened the point. For a moment, he was happy and worried at the same time. He didn't know whether it would affect the future. Have you practiced enough in the Taiyang Sutra?
Liu Xiaolou recalled the exercises carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with his move, so he felt relieved.
Except for the snake gallbladder, the rest of it belonged to Zuo Gaofeng, who put it in the baggage behind him. He planned to use the skin and tendons of the snake to refine a magical weapon.
The two of them each got what they needed, and both were happy.
At noon on the second day, a fierce tiger appeared in front of the two people, and the man and the tiger faced off for a long time.
"Master Zuo, this tiger seems a little different? Has Master Zuo seen such a tall tiger? It also has a long tail..." Liu Xiaolou asked softly.
Zuo Gaofeng looked solemn and said: "It is indeed different, but for a while I couldn't tell the truth."
Liu Xiaolou asked: "What should I do?"
Zuo Gaofeng said: "You and I have a long-term plan... In short, we must not show weakness."
While they were discussing, the tiger suddenly swung its tail whip, and with a "snap" sound, it broke a tree as thick as a bowl behind it.
Liu Xiaolou was horrified, and drew out the Sanxuan Sword from his back, and danced sword flowers in front of him; Zuoxia Master also drew out his hand axe, and gestured towards the tiger, shouting "Hoho".
Liu Xiaolou slashed to the side with his sword, his true energy circulated, and the sword light passed by a big tree of the same thickness next to him, cutting off the big tree at that moment. The master of Zuo Gorge used the ax to chop wildly at the vines around him. Where the light shines, the surroundings are in chaos.
As the two sides intimidated each other, the tiger gradually retreated, jumped up to the treetops, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
The two of them were already soaked in sweat.
With this experience, I will be more cautious on the next road.
It always gets dark earlier in the mountains and forests. When the sunset is still hanging over the mountains, it is already dark in the woods. The two of them lived on each side, one on the other side, alert to the unknown dangers around them.
Unfortunately, they were too focused on the distance in the forest and did not pay attention to their feet. They heard a roar from Zuo Fengfeng, and were caught by a large net that suddenly opened in the soil, and were hoisted high.
Zuo Gaofeng struggled desperately in the net, holding an ax with both hands to cut the ropes of the net. The net was extraordinary and kept cutting.
Liu Xiaolou wanted to step forward to rescue him, but a figure jumped down from the tree. His face was covered with a black scarf, and an iron rod in his palm hit Liu Xiaolou hard: "I'll beat you up!"
This stick was powerful and heavy, and the strong wind it brought out was extremely fierce. There was a faint flash of light, indicating that the opponent's cultivation level was at least the middle stage of Qi refining, maybe the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining.
It was too late to dodge. Liu Xiaolou grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, pouring his true energy into the sword body crazily. He knelt down on one knee for support, and fought his way upward to meet him.
"——Open!" The other party shouted violently again, and the stick hit the Sanxuan Sword directly.
Liu Xiaolou felt a huge shock from the tiger's mouth. His body fell suddenly, and the sword sank downwards, almost touching his scalp. His left foot and right knee were flatly immersed in the soft soil three inches deep!
No matter how embarrassed he was, he finally blocked the stick.
