It was completely dark, there was no moon in the sky, only a few sparse stars gave off a faint light in the dark sky. The night in the mountains is darker than outside, and with the shade of trees and wild grass, it's almost impossible to see the road under your feet.
It is very dangerous for ordinary people to walk in the mountains at night like this. But this was no problem for Ye Ying. He had been up and down the mountains many times on nights that were even darker than this.
At this time, Ye Ying was preparing to rush to the small temple in the mountain. He was already used to practicing internal skills and mental methods there at night.
Ye Ying, who was walking quickly, suddenly stopped moving forward and quickly hid behind a big stone on the roadside, looking ahead with a vigilant expression.
Half a mile ahead, someone was fighting. Ye Ying could tell that both sides of the fight were masters, because the noise they made every time was no less than that of his masters.
It seems that both parties in the fight were too involved in the fight and did not realize their existence. But Ye Ying didn't dare to be careless at all, because if he was discovered by these people, he wouldn't be able to handle it casually.
As soon as he hid himself, Ye Ying frowned again, because he found that the people fighting in front were heading towards his hiding place.
At this time, Ye Ying could already see the people fighting clearly. There were four people from both sides involved in the fight. On one side is a woman with a graceful figure and wearing a long white dress. Although her specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, she should be around thirty years old in terms of body shape.
The woman's opponents are three men wearing black cloaks. The strange thing is that the three men are only as tall as nine to ten-year-old children, but it is not difficult to judge from their body shapes and movements that they are all adults. People just became dwarfs for some unknown reason.
The woman in the white skirt is very skilled in kung fu. Every attack she makes can make a dwarf take two steps back. However, these three dwarfs are obviously very good at cooperating. The other two can always quickly fill the position and surround the woman in the white skirt again. middle.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. After a long battle, the woman in the white dress was at a disadvantage, so she chose to wait for an opportunity to escape, but she was tightly entangled by three dwarfs.
In this way, their battle circle slowly approached Ye Ying's position, and finally stopped three or four hundred steps away from Ye Ying's hiding place.
"Guardian Yu, I think you should stop making unnecessary resistance, lest my three brothers accidentally hurt your life. You can return to the main altar with us obediently. As long as you tell the secret location of Chuyuntian and send you I present you the "Xuanbing Zhenqi" technique you have cultivated, and the deputy leader will not only not punish you, but will also give you a heavy responsibility." One of the dwarfs said, the sound was like a knife cutting through the glass, sharp and unpleasant.
"Yuntian Secret Treasures are treasures that I, Yuntian Society, have collected for hundreds of years. They must not be used unless absolutely necessary. The leader has explicitly ordered that no one should covet them. How can you get your hands on them? My "Xuanbing Qi" is not something that can be given to just any cat or dog. When the time comes, I will pass it on to my disciples, so let Chu Tianxiong die!" After hearing what the dwarf said, the woman in the white dress was not moved at all.
"Leader, the leader has been missing for so many years. He may have died long ago. Why do you still stick to his orders?" the dwarf said again.
"How could the leader of such a high level of kung fu die so easily? Then Chu Tianxiong has harmed many brothers in our Yuntian Society over the years, and also caused our Yuntian Society to degenerate into what people call the number one demon sect. Yu and him They are at odds with each other, and no matter what they say, he will not get what he wants." The woman in the white dress spoke firmly, completely cutting off the thoughts of the three dwarfs.
"In this case, don't blame my brother for being rude!" When the dwarf became angry, his voice became even more unpleasant.
The words were not conducive, and neither party had any intention of continuing the conversation, and the fight started even more fiercely. Although the woman in the white skirt is very strong, these three dwarfs are not weak. After a long battle, the woman in the white skirt has been injured in many places and her skirt has been dyed red.
Ye Ying held his breath and watched the moves of the four people carefully. Although it was very dangerous to watch the masters fight at close range, it was also a rare opportunity for him.
The woman in the white skirt was obviously at the end of her strength and was completely exhausted on defense. If the three dwarfs hadn't wanted to capture the woman in the white skirt alive, she might not have been able to hold on until now.
"Protector Yu, if you don't surrender, your life may be in danger." Seeing that victory was within his grasp, the dwarf began to persuade the woman in the white dress to surrender.
"Since you are forcing each other so hard, let me make you pay a price." The dwarf's words not only failed to impress the woman in the white dress, but made her make a decision.
Next, I saw the hands of the woman in the white dress quickly tapping several acupuncture points on her body. After a few breaths passed, white mist appeared on the body of the woman in the white dress.
"Reverse Blood Dafa, you actually learned this kind of Kung Fu. This is just drinking poison to quench your thirst. Although it can temporarily improve your internal strength to a higher level, after that, there is no possibility of improving your Kung Fu, and you will have to deal with injuries for the rest of your life. What are you doing?"
The dwarf's voice finally sounded frightened. It seemed that the technique of the woman in the white skirt was indeed not simple.
Facts proved Ye Ying's guess. Next, the attack power of the woman in the white dress began to increase rapidly. Almost every palm she launched could hurt a dwarf.
In a short period of time, the three dwarfs were all injured one after another, and their steps began to stagger.
"Let's go!" Seeing that if they persisted, the three of them might risk their lives here, the leading dwarf had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of the three dwarfs flew up out of thin air and quickly disappeared among the trees in the mountain.
Seeing the enemy leave, the woman in the white dress was obviously relieved. The white mist no longer floated out of her body, but after a while, a large mouthful of blood spit out from her mouth.
It seemed that the injury of the woman in the white dress was indeed serious. She didn't even have time to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and glanced in the direction of Ye Ying. It also rose out of the air like a bird, stepping on the leaves on the top of the tree, and headed in the opposite direction to the three dwarfs.
Ye Ying also felt that the woman in the white skirt seemed to have glanced at his hiding place before leaving, but he was not sure whether the woman in the white skirt had discovered him?
After the few people left, Ye Ying stayed there for a while. After seeing that there was indeed no danger, he came out of the hiding place and came to the place where the few people were fighting.
At this time, the place was in a mess, with many nearby trees and rocks broken and broken. Some seemed to have been burned by fire, and some seemed to have been cut by sharp blades. Ye Ying could see very clearly that the four people fighting did not use any weapons. It seemed that these marks were caused by their respective skills. .
On the branch of a broken tree, Ye Ying found a piece of black cloth, which should have been hung from the cloaks of the three dwarfs. After thinking about it, he picked up the black cloth and put it into his arms.
When he found nothing else, Ye Ying stopped searching and continued walking into the mountains. This kind of fight between masters is a rare opportunity for him to improve. Now he has to return to the small temple as quickly as possible to digest the gains this time.
After this delay, Ye Ying returned to the small temple very late. He skillfully lit an oil lamp and planned to meditate and practice. .
With the dim light, Ye Ying casually scanned the hut, and was suddenly stunned for a moment because he discovered something unusual.
The hay spread on the ground seemed to have been tidied and was not as messy as before. A tree stick placed in the corner as a makeshift weapon had also been moved.
Someone had been here, and based on the signs of change, Ye Yinggai quickly made a judgment that it was a person who entered the hut, not a wild beast in the mountains.
Who is it? This sudden situation made Ye Ying temporarily give up his plan to meditate. He stood up, walked out of the hut, and decided to search the temple.
The small temple was not that big, and there were not many places to hide. With his unusual hearing, Ye Ying quickly discovered the anomaly.
"Come out quickly, I've found you." Ye Ying, holding a tree stick, came to the Buddha statue that had fallen sideways and said loudly to the Buddha statue.
However, after a long time, no one came out from behind the Buddha statue. Ye Ying walked around behind the Buddha statue with a tree stick in hand, and finally saw clearly that there was a person hiding behind the Buddha statue.
After seeing this man's appearance clearly, the vigilance on Ye Ying's face completely disappeared, and he even threw away the tree stick in his hand.
A little girl who seemed to be only eight or nine years old was hugging her shoulders and shivering, staring at Ye Ying with a pair of frightened eyes.
"Come out! Brother is not a bad person." Ye Ying stretched out his hand and said to the little girl in as kind a tone as possible.
At this time, Ye Ying had no time to think, how could such an older little girl appear in this barren mountain? Having suffered so much since childhood, he despises others living the same miserable life as him.
At this time, the little girl remained motionless. Although the harm in her eyes had been reduced a lot, she was still sitting in the corner, looking at Ye Ying in front of her with eyes full of surprise.
"Don't worry, I'm from the village at the foot of the mountain. I won't hurt you. I still have something to eat." Ye Ying said as he took out a piece of bread from his arms.
The little girl remained motionless, but her eyes fell on the cake, and her stomach growled unsatisfactorily. It seemed that she had not eaten for a long time.
Maybe she saw the kind face of her elder brother, who was not much older than her, or maybe she couldn't resist the temptation of cakes. With Ye Ying's constant persuasion, the little girl finally got out of the corner.
Ye Ying once again handed the cake to the little girl. After hesitating for a moment, the little girl finally took the pancake in her hand, took a light bite first, then a big mouthful, and then ate it hungrily.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Seeing that the little girl was eating too quickly, Ye Ying handed him another bamboo tube filled with water.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Yuner."
"Why did you come to this mountain?"
"Mom brought me here."
"Where is your mother?"
"I'll go back as soon as my mother says, but...it's been so long..."
After filling her stomach, the girl felt much better. She gradually became familiar with Ye Ying, and gradually regained some of the innocence and liveliness that a child of this age should have.
