Lu Jing looked a little surprised when he saw the person coming, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Jing."
The person standing outside the courtyard at this moment was none other than the herb collector Ixiang he and Xia Huai had met at the entrance of the cave.
It's just that the latter's face no longer had the kind smile before, and it looked gloomy and terrifying.
What's more, what's hanging on his waist is no longer a sickle for gathering herbs, but a black-sheathed iron sword. Even before the sword is unsheathed, it already makes people feel a sense of chilling.
Lu Jing dared to conclude that this knife must have been full of human blood before.
And his master is naturally no ordinary person.
"Look at the good things you have done." Ixiang put one hand on the handle of the knife, gritted his teeth, and said every word.
"What did I do?" Lu Jing was confused.
"Didn't the professors in the academy teach you that once the behavior pattern of a strange creature is broken, it will most likely lead to unpredictable consequences!"
"Sorry, but the academy hasn't started classes yet." Lu Jing said apologetically.
"…………"
Iugao was choked and speechless. He was so anxious that he actually forgot about it. After hearing what Lu Jing said, he remembered again that the two people coming this time were complete newcomers. Somehow he ran into the forbidden area.
He didn't care to say too much and said to Lu Jing with a stern face, "While it's still too late, pack your things and leave with me."
"I can't leave." Lu Jing refused without thinking.
"Don't let your eyes deceive yourself, kid, you have no idea how serious the situation is now." Ixiang said coldly.
"I believe that Brother Xiang is not trying to scare me, but since we came here as two people, of course we must be two people when we go back." Lu Jing insisted.
Jing Xiang didn't know what he thought of, and a flash of light burst out in his eyes when he heard this.
He didn't try to persuade her any more, but just gave in, nodded and said, "Okay, let's find someone first. Once we find someone, you can leave quickly... That little girl's name is Xia Huai, right? I saw her with her before My younger brother went to the mulberry forest in the west of the village.
"But you have to remember, because you broke the rules here, there is a high probability that they will come for you later." Ixiang warned, "If we get separated later, you just need to escape towards the entrance of the cave from which you came." .”
"Brother Kejing, didn't you say that we can only return to the academy through the cave after sunrise?" Lu Jing asked.
"That's right, but people in this village will definitely not enter that cave. As long as you escape there, you will be safe, and then just wait there until dawn."
"Is it because they are worried that they will die of old age after going to the other side?"
Hearing this, Jing Xiang glanced at Lu Jing again, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "You checked pretty quickly. I take back what I said before. Si Tianjian's people are indeed not simple. Even a newcomer cannot be underestimated."
"Now that things have happened, do you still want Brother Jing to hide his identity?" Lu Jing said, "Brother Jing, you... no, you are a senior and you must be a member of our Tianjian."
Ixiang didn't answer the question, but he wasn't as angry as last time. He just explained Lu Jing's previous question.
"Time here is a hundred times slower than on the other side of the cave. If you stay here for a year, a hundred years will pass outside. But you can't really hide from the eyes of time. Once you return to the other side, those lost times will It will still leave marks on your body.
"Someone wanted to use the rich secret power and the unique secret brew here to practice before. Unfortunately, unless you never leave, you will find that it is not worth the gain when you go back."
"I see." Lu Jing had similar questions when he heard Xia Huai say that this place was a treasure.
Because if this village is really so beneficial to cultivation, why is it still listed as a forbidden area by the academy and has not been developed and utilized on a large scale.
Now I have finally found the answer. After all, no matter how rich the secret power and wine are, they cannot withstand the passage of time itself a hundred times.
While the two of them were talking, they had already used Qinggong and rushed towards the mulberry forest.
In just a moment, they were outside the woods.
Needless to say about Lu Jing, once his Dacheng Realm's Stormy Waves are used with all his strength, his speed is astonishingly fast.
However, Iugao on the side was always half a head ahead of him.
When the two came to the mulberry forest, Lu Jing couldn't help but praise, "Senior is really a master of light kung fu."
After learning that the time here was a hundred times different from that on the other side of the cave, Lu Jing's previous call of "senior" was very appropriate.
Despite the fact that Iugao is only less than twenty years older than him, if Iugao has been here for more than two or three years, there is no one with a higher seniority than him outside.
When Jing Xiang heard this, he nodded expressionlessly like a senior expert, but then secretly put away the hand skills in his sleeves and wiped away the cold sweat.
He also didn't expect that this new generation of the academy would be so powerful. If he was just talking about Qinggong, he would be completely out of sight by Lu Jing within a few breaths.
Fortunately, he activated the magic formula in time. You must know that in such a place where the secret power of heaven and earth is extremely strong, any spell effect released will have a strong bonus. Coupled with his Qinggong, he could barely overpower Lu Jing. No shame.
The two then split into two groups with a tacit understanding, each picked a direction and went into the mulberry forest to look for Xia Huai.
After just circling around, Lu Jing still couldn't see the shadows of Xia Huai and her brother.
On the contrary, fire soon lit up outside the mulberry forest.
When Lu Jing saw this, he was about to take shelter in the darkness. Unexpectedly, a strong wind blew inexplicably in the forest at the next moment, and then he heard the sound of leaves rustling and shaking in his ears.
Lu Jing had already sensed something was wrong, but before he could do anything, the leaves on a mulberry tree behind him suddenly burned, and then the entire mulberry tree shone brightly, illuminating his position clearly.
At almost the same moment, the villagers' shouts came to his ears, "Found it, he's there!"
Lu Jing stopped when he heard this. With his Qinggong, he still had time to escape. However, he didn't know what kind of missing person spell the other party cast, and he could actually locate him directly in the mulberry forest.
In this case, there is not much point in running away like a headless fly.
It's better to get in touch with the opponent first, find out what the opponent's intentions are, and also see if Xia Huai has fallen into the opponent's hands.
So Lu Jing simply stopped moving and just stood under the burning mulberry tree.
The firelight made his shadow stagger on the ground.
At this time, the figures outside the woods gradually became clearer. They were all villagers from Wuyou Village. Not long ago, they were singing and dancing, but now they all picked up the farm tools at hand and surrounded Lu Jing.
"Why don't your distinguished guests enjoy singing and dancing in the village, but come here alone?" A man who looked like a farmer said loudly.
"I want to walk alone, can't I?" Lu Jing asked.
"It's dark at night, and we are worried that your distinguished guest will get lost in the forest, so why not come back with us? The village chief has also prepared other treats for your distinguished guest."
