Grasping the hunting bow, Chang Siguo jumped forward with all his strength. After about four feet in the air, his body fell downwards.
Le Mozhi dodged the harassing attack of the arrows, and finally rushed to the edge of the cliff four or five breaths later. Looking at the river below where the huge splash of water had not subsided, he was extremely angry, and he didn't know who the damn barbarian was. Did you escape by diving upstream or downstream?
However, he is not water-savvy. Even if he can use his true energy to hold his breath, he cannot pursue the waves and search for them under the water.
He was so angry that he smashed countless rocks against the river to vent his frustration.
The hound in his arms felt the anger of the human being and shrank his neck in fear, not daring to move.
After more than ten breaths, the angry man calmed down. He grabbed a fist-sized rock in his hand, gathered his true energy in his eyes, stared at the water, ran on the undulating river bank, and searched back and forth for half a quarter of an hour. After a while, the boy who fell into the water was not seen emerging from the water, but several bamboo arrows were seen swirling and floating downstream.
Damn it, where can I hide for a while?
He couldn't jump across the twelve or thirty feet of water, but he could still clearly detect the movements on the other side.
As time passed, Le Mozhi gradually felt disappointed, and his eyes could not bear the excessive infusion of true energy. With sour tears streaming down his face, he still refused to give up and expanded the search area in vain.
It would be great if there was a falcon around to help him keep an eye on the sky.
He hated the barbarian who was cunning and cruel and shot the Falcon in advance. For the first time, he felt that that guy was very difficult to deal with. How could he not see that before?
Chang Siguo hid in a dark cave more than 20 feet downstream on the northern river bank.
The moment before he fell into the water, he scanned the general situation on both sides of the river and found that it was made of limestone. The cliffs about two feet above the water surface had holes of various sizes eroded by the river water, which were uneven and covered with ice and snow.
He held his breath in the water for half a quarter of an hour. With his eyes open, he explored several dark caves under the water, all of which were shallow. Finally, he found a dark cave that was about ten feet deep under the water and got in. After exploring the twists and turns of the underwater cave for more than ten seconds, I climbed up to a suspended cave that was hollowed out by the river and extended deep into the cliff mountain to the surface of the water.
The long and narrow cave is about five feet long, with stone pillars standing upright and stalagmites hanging upside down. The widest part is about two feet long. The ground is uneven and dripping with water. In addition to being relatively moist and full of watery smell, it is warmer than outside.
With such a good hiding place, he would not give up and decided to hide here for three to five days.
If there was no hiding place under the cliff, he would have thought about it and dive downstream.
Find a sheltered spot close to the cliff to take a breather, dive twenty or thirty miles away, find a gentle river valley and go ashore to escape south.
In short, he will not hide in the hole in the cliff. It is too obvious and it is easy to catch a turtle in the urn.
I used my kung fu to evaporate the moisture from my hair and clothes. I unstringed the soaked hunting bow and placed it next to me. I untied the remaining eight arrows, the quiver, quiver and other bits and pieces and placed them on the rocks. Then I kung fu to dry them one by one. , then he drew out his long sword about four feet long, alert to any movement that might occur at any time.
Most Beirong people are not good at water, and the man surnamed Le is probably no exception. Even if he can dive with his training, it is probably not easy to find such a hidden dark hole in the water. Unless you try your luck and find it by chance, that is what you should do. He has no one to blame for his misfortune.
Of course, he took advantage of the location and stared at the water hole seven feet below. If he found something wrong, he would directly stab him with his sword in advance. Even if he was caught by surprise, he would have a 50% chance of winning. Even if they died together, he would not make things easier for that guy.
The gems on the scabbard emitted a faint green light, illuminating the cave with a green and gloomy look.
After searching carefully in the cave for a while, I found three more cave entrances connected to the water. They were distributed everywhere. The big ones were no more than two feet, and the small ones were only the size of a human head. The underwater cliff passage was twisty and difficult, making it difficult for people to get in easily from under the water. , rather like a natural latrine.
To be on the safe side, Chang Siguo used a long sword to cut off the rock pillars to block the entrance of the cave. He also used the sediment and moss accumulated in the cave to fill in and block the small gaps, leaving only the smallest hole with a blank cover. block for his convenience.
Chang Siguo checked the entire cave, eliminated potential dangers, and returned to the wide entrance to guard.
He didn't take the magical weapon he had seized seriously. He used his long sword to cut a flat stone platform near the puddle. He sat down and took out the green handkerchief. He read through it in the dark and found the words recorded on the green handkerchief. I read the practice experience of "Using Qi to Drive Strength" carefully twice, then put away the green handkerchief and tried to figure out the technique of using Qi to drive strength in my mind.
Compared with the method he thought up by himself, the experience of using Qi to drive energy recorded on the green handkerchief has many differences.
It needs to be warmed first, then flushed, then gathered momentum, and finally driven to explode.
He skipped the first and second steps, which are also the most important steps to warm up. The next two steps were also very rough and he just straightened the bow.
No wonder the muscles can't bear it, and the real energy is wasted a lot.
Fortunately, he had tried carefully, otherwise he would have injured his muscles and caused irreversible consequences, and the gain would be more than worth the loss.
Chang Siguo doesn't even understand these subtle principles in cultivation, where the slightest difference can make a thousand miles difference.
He was also complacent that he could figure out two of the four words on the green handkerchief that coincided with the four words on the green handkerchief based on the four words "using Qi to drive strength" revealed by the man named Le. With his amazing understanding and high talent, he They shamelessly put gold on their own faces.
I don't know that I am at the crossroads between disabled and disabled, wandering back and forth for many times.
For the first time, I followed the experience on the green handkerchief, using warm breath to warm the waist muscles, and adjusting the subtle movements of the muscles with twists and tremors. The warm and comfortable numbness almost made Chang Siguo hum. I forgot where I was at this time.
The effect was astonishingly good. Just one exercise of warming and nourishing made him exhausted and full of energy.
Chang Siguo has tasted the sweetness and tasted the marrow, and he has worked tirelessly to enjoy the comfort of the breath warming and washing the muscles in the cave, leaving only a little energy to be alert to the movements of the outside world.
Le Mozhi, who struggled to search up and down in the river wind, finally succeeded in treading the water with his superb traceless skills and several attempts. With one breath, he was able to briefly walk on the waves for more than fifty feet on the river. He could explore the holes in the cliffs on both sides of the water from the water, and from time to time he would jump up and climb the cliffs, trying to pull out the hidden bastards and cut them into pieces.
From the afternoon until dark, we were busy until most of the night. We had hounds sniff for dozens of miles on both sides of the shore, but still found nothing.
The boy seemed to evaporate from the world and disappeared without a trace.
The next morning, the handsome man looked haggard and dirty. He had to carry the hound, which was also haggard and confused, back to the north. He broke off a falcon and still couldn't find anyone, which made him depressed, but he He had to go back and cancel his leave. He couldn't bear the consequences of violating military orders.
The army has gathered and the four deserted cities have been destroyed in the near future. He also has patrol missions to perform.
…
Chang Si once hid in the cliff cave for four days and nights, and had almost practiced timekeeping for four times.
He originally wanted to hide away for a while, so that he would not be disturbed and feel that he was fulfilling and making progress every day, which he was very reluctant to part with.
It's a pity that the dry food and bacon he prepared included the captured food and a jug of wine. After eating them all, he would starve if he didn't go out. He guessed that after several days, the man surnamed Le would not be able to survive the cold wind and wind in the wild. Did you leave first?
Tie the remaining eight sharp arrows into a rope with thin threads removed from the hem of his clothes, and tie them one by one to the copper buckle of the arrow pot, so as not to lose them in the water again, and to make it easier for him to take them alone. After stringing and binding the hunting bow, Chang thought about stepping into the cold river water, holding his breath, and swimming out against the slippery rocks.
After reaching the edge of the cliff, Chang Siguo dived about another fifty feet downstream to avoid being guarded by the man surnamed Le.
Use the slightest movement possible to quietly poke your head out of the water without making any noise.
The river was roaring and the sky was bright outside.
After a sudden thought, Chang turned his head and looked to the right. He saw a young man with dried blood on his body like a gecko clinging to the water on the cliff five feet away.
The man had a very pale face and a slender figure. His white robe was in tatters and hung on him, making him look a bit funny and embarrassed. One of his trouser legs was wet and dripping with water, but the tattered robe on his body was still dry.
Judging from the situation, he wanted to go into the water, but his elegance was disturbed by Chang Siguo who suddenly appeared in the water.
The eyes of the two people collided, sparking a dangerous spark of murder and silence.
