After the morning class, You Ziji was in a hurry. He didn't even go back to prepare after getting off Tiangui Peak, and went straight to the canyon. He was determined to find out the identity of the man in black, whether he was an elf raised in the mountains or a somewhat leisurely senior in the family.
He did not use the wind blowing technique to walk in the wind, but practiced the movement skills deduced from the secret book last night, practicing while walking, so the speed was not very fast.
His movements were like that of a beast, using both limbs and arms to maintain the balance of the body. The true energy in his legs ran along specific meridians, accumulated at one point, and exploded suddenly. His body was like an arrow from a string, shuttling through the forest, and getting stronger and stronger. Soon, he felt a lot of confidence rising in his heart.
When he reached the cliff, You Ziji glanced down. He had been going back and forth for two days and was already very familiar with this place. He jumped down, rolled several times to relieve his strength, and then landed on a protruding rock in the middle of the cliff. He had enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the distance when he climbed here yesterday, but he was not playing briskly at this moment. His mood was filled with the urgency of seeing the man in black again. After tumbling like this several times to release the force, he easily fell to the ground.
The edge of the pool was still calm, and there were no traces of large creatures coming here. You Ziji found a hidden place, wanting to wait and wait for the man in black to reveal his identity automatically, but he didn't see him for a long time and wasted a lot of time.
Waiting like this is not the answer. You Ziji remembered what the man in black did yesterday, so he pretended to collect medicine, but in fact, he paid attention to his surroundings at all times, waiting for the man in black to show up.
In order to make the scene more realistic, he walked along the edge of the pond and pretended to rummage through the rotten wood. Two days had passed since the first picking, and many half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum had matured. You Ziji couldn't help but pick a few, but there was no place to store them.
Moreover, he wandered around and failed to attract the man in black. Thinking that the man in black might not be here, he simply put down the half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum and covered it with grass leaves. Then he continued walking in the forest, hoping to find the hiding place of the man in black or find some clues.
After some searching, You Ziji still found nothing and had to return the same way. He dug out the half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum that had been buried, but no one had touched it.
"Did you scare me away yesterday?"
You Ziji didn't want to give up. Thinking about it carefully, he was so emotional yesterday that he didn't seem to recognize the true form of the man in black. Maybe he was really a monster. Moreover, I saw yesterday that the place where the Diyin grass grows is really suitable for some spiritual creatures to survive. Behind the waterfall may be a residence of the man in black.
You Ziji hid his breath again and waited for a while, but there was still no movement, and no useful clues were found. Now there was only the inside of the waterfall left to see, so he wanted to try his luck.
With no other choice, You Ziji crossed the waterfall again. He learned from yesterday's lesson and kicked off his legs without using his palms to support himself. He hit the waterfall directly and entered the cave. His movements were much smoother than yesterday.
As soon as he passed the waterfall, You Ziji realized something was wrong. The feeling of being stared at emerged from the bottom of his heart again. It seemed that someone was hiding in it. Was it the man in black?
You Ziji was secretly happy. His guess was right. The man in black yesterday was really an elf born and raised here, and this cave was really his residence. Logically speaking, You Ziji's collection of herbs here can be considered as stealing other people's things, and it is common sense to be retaliated against. However, the scene of being teased yesterday is still replaying in his mind, and You Ziji always wants to vent his anger.
But at this moment, the enemy was hiding and hiding, and You Ziji did not dare to act rashly. He leaned against the wall and slowly moved inside with the help of the dim light coming through the waterfall.
Without any unnecessary actions, calm returned to the cave again. Although he knew that this elf must be here, You Ziji could not find his location, so he used himself as bait, opened his ears, and listened carefully to everything going on around him.
He lit a flame with one hand and became the only light source in the dark cave, exposing his figure in the cave. The elf in the dark seemed to be ready to move, but eventually fell silent. Seeing this, You Ziji had no choice but to increase the dosage to attract his attention again, and stretched out his hand to pull up a Diyin grass from the crevice of the stone.
The elf hidden in the darkness took action instantly. He fell from the cave roof, glided over You Ziji's head, grabbed it with one hand, and tried to snatch the Diyin Grass from You Ziji's hand.
Although he didn't know its starting position in the darkness, You Ziji had already been on guard, and his ears had already fed back important information, so how could he get what he wanted. You Ziji made a dangerous turn and avoided it, and the two sides missed each other. The black shadow was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that the blow he was bound to hit was easily dodged, but at this moment, he was already extremely weak and could only adjust his position to attack again.
The black shadow had poor timing and was unable to counterattack immediately, but You Ziji didn't want to let him go. He directly used his shadowless pocket, grabbed the black shadow's ankle and pulled him down. He blocked him for a moment, then bullied him forward and grabbed his shoulder with one move. The fingertips are too slippery to let go and escape again like yesterday.
However, this time during the fight, You Ziji miscalculated again. The black shadow turned from softness to strength, and his true energy directly bounced his palm away, which was obviously much stronger than yesterday.
Before You Ziji could react, the black shadow took advantage of the situation to dodge and landed on a boulder. The flame held in You Ziji's hand surged, illuminating the cave. I saw that the black shadow was the same as yesterday, it was all humanoid, wearing black clothes and covering its face, not showing its true appearance. There's just something wrong, he seems to be much taller.
You Ziji raised the Diyin grass in his hand to try to anger the humanoid elf. As expected, it looked furious and quickly approached You Ziji and repeated its old tricks.
Perhaps it was not used to moving in mid-air, and its moves were easily predicted by You Ziji. After dodging again, You Ziji stretched out his hand to grab it, and actually pulled off its black mask.
The man in black froze, as if he hadn't expected this, and then he realized what he was doing, no longer entangled with You Ziji, and left.
You Ziji would not let him go, so he jumped up from the ground. Because the cave was not high, he stuck his whole body directly on the roof of the cave. He pushed his legs hard and jumped out with a sound of breaking through the air. In an instant, he caught up with the black clothed man. people.
The man in black failed one after another and just ran away. Although his speed was about the same as yesterday, his footsteps were much thicker. You Ziji didn't think much about it and just kept chasing.
Every time he bursts out his true energy, his forward speed doubles, and then slowly slows down and returns to the original speed. He can only continue to accelerate when the next time his leg meridians are full of true energy.
The man in black passed through the waterfall and walked through the forest, hoping to use the complicated terrain to throw off You Ziji. But he didn't expect that You Ziji's movement and limbs seemed to be faster in this terrain. The speed of the two sides instantly shortened, and You Ziji was close to him again.
This time, You Ziji no longer held back his hand, he directly used his air-splitting palm and struck it hard. At this moment, the man in black finally did not dare to raise his head anymore. With a touch of his hand from his waist, a short sword with a sword pouch appeared. He performed the sword technique and unsheathed the dagger, as fast as lightning. You Ziji felt the lightning flash in front of him, and the trees and boulders were cut into several pieces.
You Ziji still has some eyesight, but his eyes cannot catch up with the dagger. It can be seen that the man in black is very skilled in sword control. He must be a monk of Xuan Ming Dao. He knows that he is not an opponent and stops the pursuit.
"Monk? Which idler came out specifically to entertain me? I'd better go back and ask the second senior brother. I hope he can give me an explanation."
It seemed that only Gu Xuan could help him figure this out.
…
The man in black was wrapped in the sword light and flew several miles away before slowing down. He looked annoyed at the moment and felt a little upset in his heart. Judging from his appearance, he is clearly Ji Wenyi. When he saw You Ziji leaving after morning classes, he also set off for the waterfall at the urging of his brothers and sisters.
He didn't need to prepare and directly used the sword control method to fly dozens of miles at extremely fast speeds. In order not to be recognized by You Ziji, he specially put on night clothes, and the magic weapon Flying Sword he used on the road was replaced by one that You Ziji had never seen before.
He confidently hid in the cave behind the waterfall. He concluded that You Ziji would definitely come to this place arranged by him for the herbs.
But he didn't know that You Ziji wasted a lot of time practicing his movements. Ji Wenyi didn't see anyone for a long time, so he went out to look for him. When he saw You Ziji, he returned to the cave excitedly.
Unexpectedly, You Ziji let him go again, and actually stayed outside for a long time, and he didn't know how many herbs he collected. But now that You Ziji has arrived here, he cannot go out to observe, so he has to wait in the cave. If Wanderer Ji fails to come, I'm afraid he won't be able to come out until evening.
Just when he was about to lose his passion, You Ziji finally came in. Ji Wenyi didn't dare to be too active in order to avoid being discovered. He will play the role of a mysterious figure who protects the earthly grass.
So until You Ziji picked the ground grass, Ji Wenyi finally no longer needed to be patient.
But as expected, another surprise occurred.
Ji Wenyi didn't know that You Ziji had specially trained his body skills last night, which was already very good. In addition, Ji Wenyi, an orthodox practitioner himself, rarely uses body techniques to travel. After all, you can fly with a sword after reaching the Mysterious Realm. It would be better to improve your realm as soon as possible. Why learn such a useless thing. As a result, he, a dignified Xuanjing monk, actually fell behind in the fight with You Ziji.
Afterwards, his mask was torn off, and he had no choice but to escape in order to prevent the incident from being revealed.
When he arrived at Tiangui Peak, Ji Wenyi hurriedly calmed down and met Gu Xuan and Hua Yunying who were waiting here.
"Junior Brother Ji is back so soon, have you completed your mission?"
Ji Wenyi couldn't tell what happened when his mask was ripped off by a junior fellow at the Foundation Establishment Realm and he ran away, so he had to lie: "Of course, second senior brother, don't worry."
Gu Xuan naturally did not expect that Ji Wenyi would fail. He did not doubt it and said with a smile: "This is the tradition of our Xuan Ming Dao. Having a mysterious person like you will definitely stimulate my junior brother's desire to practice. We can't let him continue to slack off like this." ”
Ji Wenyi didn't dare to say anything for fear of exposing his flaws, so he left as if running away.
