Fan Yi swam in the water, with only his head exposed. The strong current could not deflect his direction.
Fortunately, no monster came out, and in just one stick of incense, he swam to the other side.
Jiang Jixue hurried forward to wait for Fan Yi, only to see that the young man was wet all over his body after he came ashore. Not only was his face not turned white by the cold water, but it had a faint red sheen.
Lei Yinyun stepped forward and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Fan Yi shook his sleeves and replied:
"fine."
Lei Yinyun said:
"Let's go, it's going to be dark soon. Let's find a place to stay first and then set off after dawn tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and walked forward. Bai Yanfeng glanced at Fan Yi and the two coldly and followed them.
Jiang Jixue said:
"Change your clothes. It's a cold day. If you don't feel uncomfortable, I will feel uncomfortable. I'll wait for you in front."
See the woman go forward.
Fan Yi had no choice but to take out a set of white clothes from the Fang Cun Tiger brand, put them on, and ran forward to chase after him.
As the four of them walked, the sun had completely set in the mountains.
Although the moon was rising, it was obscured by clouds and fog. When the moonlight fell down, it was barely possible to see more than ten meters away.
Lei Yinyun, the leader, showed no intention of stopping and kept walking as fast as flying.
The burly man wanted to stay as far away from the big river as possible to avoid causing trouble again late at night.
Until midnight, the four of them saw an earthen building on the left side of the road.
At the entrance of the two-story earthen building, there were two black flags fluttering in the wind. They said they were swinging because of the cold weather, and the flags had become a bit stiff.
Lei Yinyun stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the earth building.
He immediately said:
"The inn is here. Let's rest there tonight. Fan Yi, you and Yan Feng go to collect some firewood."
Fan Yi responded, already walking to the side of the hillside, and started breaking off the dead trees.
Bai Yanfeng reluctantly walked to a big tree, drew out his long sword, and chopped down the tree trunk.
Lei Yinyun walked to the door of the earth building and pushed open the wooden door. It was dark inside.
Lei Yinyun took two torches from the storage waistband, lit them and handed one to Jiang Jixue, and the two went into the house.
The center of the room was empty except for three benches with backrests placed against the walls on the left and right in front. There was a wooden staircase on the left that led to the second floor.
It was faintly visible that the wooden door on the second floor was closed.
Lei Yinyun inserted the torch into the pot on the pillar, and Jiang Jixue also inserted it into the other side.
There are no windows in the earth building, but the black smoke from the torches floats out from the four corners of the earth building. Four hidden wind ducts are made, so it is not stuffy even if the door is closed and opened.
After Fan Yi and Bai Yanfeng moved the wood in, the entire earth building began to become warm after a while.
Jiang Jixue has already cleaned the bench, which is enough for you to lie on it and rest for a night.
After lighting a fire and boiling water, he grilled some beef at will.
The four of them sat around the fire, eating meat and chatting.
Lei Yinyun smiled and said:
"There are many such earth buildings on the way to Wuzong. They were built by Wuzong's order for the common people to use. However, you cannot go up to the second floor casually. Only disciples of Wuzong can use it."
"But this is pretty good. At least it can protect you from the wind and snow. After you three have eaten and drank enough, you can find a place to rest."
Fan Yi thought about walking and practicing boxing, and just wanted to find a quiet place to practice martial arts.
However, at this moment, noisy sounds of people and horses suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately, there was fire flickering outside the earthen house, shining directly through the crack in the door.
A cold old man's voice shouted:
"Lei Yinyun, listen, hand over the boy named Fan inside, otherwise none of the four of you will be able to leave today."
Hear the words.
Lei Yinyun stood up with a roar and walked towards the door.
The visitor actually called him by his first name and threatened him nakedly. He, Lei Yinyun, had never heard such words before.
Fan Yi and three others followed closely behind.
When the wooden door was pushed open, there was a dark crowd in front of them, all holding torches in their hands.
The first four people were riding tall horses.
The man on horseback in the middle is skinny, wearing a green shirt and a white woolen cloak, with white hair and beard.
He placed a golden spear across the horse's back and leaned forward slightly.
There was another man in the middle who was tall and tall, wearing black clothes, even his cloak was black. He had a scar on his face, which went directly from the corner of his right eye to the left corner of his mouth.
He was holding a strangely long broad knife, the tip of which was dragging on the ground.
Lei Yinyun recognized these two people at a glance.
One person holding a spear is the leader of the mountain mercenary group, named Huang Xiaoshan, who has been hiding in the deep mountains and forests all year round.
He is the only one who hunts hybrid beasts and steals spiritual stones, and is extremely daring. He is famous among more than a dozen cities.
The man holding the strangely long and broad sword was quite different. He was the leader of the gang, named Liu Wangjiang.
This man only engages in water robbery and rarely travels by land.
Firstly, they are afraid of the city lord's palace, and secondly, they are not as strong as the mercenary group. They have no prestige, but they are notorious.
Lei Yinyun put his hands behind his back, grinned, and said mockingly:
"I wonder who is here. It turns out to be Xiao Shan, the Wolf King of the Mountains, and Liu Wangjiang, your little water snake."
"Why is one not scavenging in the mountains and the other not living in the river? Why are you here with me?"
Hear the words.
Liu Wangjiang's eyes were splitting, and he squeezed the broad knife in his hand to make a squeaking sound. He was also a Sixth Realm monk after all, but he was compared to a water snake.
Huang Xiaoshan was not like that. Instead, he said politely:
"Master Lei is still the same as before. He is much better at talking than he is at cultivating."
"I am here today only for the young man named Fan. As long as you hand over those two magic weapons, I will leave immediately without saying a word."
As if seeing a fool, Lei Yinyun showed contempt in his eyes and said with a smile:
"No one has ever dared to bargain with me. I think you are getting old and confused."
"Get out of here, don't make me angry!"
Huang Xiaoshan then snorted coldly and said:
"That means there's no need to discuss it. I haven't learned Master Lei's boxing skills for a long time. How about a good fight today?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Yinyun took a step forward and shouted:
"Come if you are not afraid of death!"
Huang Xiaoshan turned to look at Liu Wangjiang and whispered:
"I know both the man and the woman holding the sword. They are descendants of the Du family. The young man named Fan should be the one in white. Don't be reluctant to fight later. After capturing the person, we will leave first. Lei Yinyun asked me to hold him back. "
When Liu Wangjiang heard this, he already looked at Fan Yi, stretched out his tongue, licked it, and nodded silently.
Huang Xiaoshan picked up the spear, tapped his toes on the horse's back and jumped up, pointing directly at the thunder clouds.
shouted:
"Look at the gun!"
Lei Yinyun was so domineering that he punched the golden tip of the spear.
Liu Wangjiang also flew off his horse and ran towards Fan Yi with a knife.
On his horse were the other two monks of the Fourth Realm and a group of warriors.
They all focused on Jiang Jixue and Bai Yanfeng.
