Walking up the majestic mountain road, gradually, the roads opened by humans gradually disappeared. Going further up, it is a mountain road overgrown with weeds and thorns. But now, it is still far away from the middle of the mountain.
But I haven’t seen anyone walking back yet. Many people were holding on to a branch, pushing aside thorns and weeds while walking slowly forward. Fortunately, the terrain was relatively gentle now, so there were no difficulties.
The sun gradually moved toward the sky, and the coolness of the early morning had been replaced by scorching heat. Before noon, the flowers and plants on the roadside showed a decadent appearance. As we go up, the traces of pedestrians gradually decrease, and the opened paths are gradually submerged in the grass, and the terrain becomes steeper and steeper. At this moment, the first trial has officially begun.
A branch that was broken off from nowhere was held in Qingya's hand. While pushing aside the weeds and branches blocking the view, he flattened the lush haystacks under his feet. After walking a few steps, Hua Qing'er would look towards the top of the mountain for a while. , to make sure you don’t stray off course.
Although it was only noon and more than three hours before the sun set, the mist-shrouded mountainside above always made people feel too far away. Only by trying to avoid detours could we ensure that we could reach our destination in the end.
At this time, Hua Qing'er didn't know when she had washed away the makeup on her face with water. She had already taken off the cumbersome gold hairpin on her temples, and her waist-length hair was simply tied into a ponytail.
"Sister Qing'er, come on, follow me quickly." This is a higher step. After leveling the road, Qingya took Hua Qing'er's hand and pulled her to her side.
"Go this way, there are fewer trees on the road up here," Hua Qing'er pointed diagonally upward, and then took off following the force coming from her hand. I don't know whether it was Qing Ya pulling too hard or Hua Qing'er jumping too fast, but he saw the girl flying straight towards him, and then slammed himself to the ground with a loud bang, knocking the person who hit him at the same time. Also pull it down together. There were a few clicks and clicks, and several dead branches on the ground were crushed and broken, making several mournful sounds.
The sweat on her forehead wetted the ends of her hair and stuck them to her face. A few strands hung down and lightly swept across her face. The tickling feeling stirred up the throbbing in her heart. The girl in front of her has picturesque eyebrows and a fair face that is slightly flushed. She is like a spring water-like mist, locking her gaze firmly and making people unable to help but fall deeply into it.
Aware of Qing Ya's gaze, Hua Qing'er also came back to her senses, stood up from Qing Ya with a red face, and glared at Qing Ya coquettishly.
Suddenly, Qing Ya, who was still lying on the ground, suddenly stood up, pulled Hua Qing'er into his arms again, and pressed her under him. Hua Qing'er seemed to understand something after being briefly absent-minded, and her originally red face instantly turned red like a cooked crab.
"Qingya, you...what do you want to do...here...here..." Hua Qing'er said incoherently while trying to push Qingya away from her.
"Shh, don't make any noise, look over there."
Hua Qing'er then calmed down, followed Qing Ya's gaze, couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and quickly covered her mouth.
They saw a black wild boar staring at them in the bushes in front of them. The strong body is covered with dense black mane, about half a man tall, and the two sharp fangs in its mouth reflect the cold light in the sun.
Qingya's brows furrowed involuntarily. He had obviously avoided the dense forest and chosen low shrubs and grass. How could he still run into such a beast? Also, wasn't this Tianyun's introductory test? How could they allow the beast to appear? In the mountains and forests, you must know that most of the people participating in the selection this time are ordinary people. What if you hurt the crowd?
I can't control that much now. Fortunately, this beast looks ferocious, but in fact it is probably still underage. If you fight with it, you may not have no chance of winning. If it is an old wild boar with a rough head and thick flesh, I am afraid that you will be punished here today.
In fact, as soon as the wild boar appeared here, the Tianyu Mountain disciple who was responsible for guarding discovered it and followed him. However, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he hid himself among the dead grass and dead trees in a flash. .
One of the tasks for this mission is to protect the safety of everyone involved in the selection. The other is to observe each person's body, character, character, and ability to adapt when faced with danger, etc. It doesn't matter if these people don't pass the selection, but once they enter Tianyun, they can be taught in accordance with their aptitude based on the information recorded at this time. Although not everyone can get the correct teachings, it can also save many disciples a lot of trouble. detour.
"Sister Qing'er, I'll get up later and lure this beast away first. You run farther away. This beast is not big, I can deal with it a few times. You look around for some sharp things, and we will find an opportunity to solve it together. Got it."
After the initial surprise, Hua Qing'er immediately calmed down. While responding to Qing Ya's words, she bent her right leg and put her right hand on the ground, ready to get up and escape at any time. Soon after, Qingya kicked his right leg on the ground and rushed forward quickly. I saw him holding his arms in front of his chest to protect the vital parts of his chest. He tilted his body slightly, using his right shoulder as the forward point. He made an iron mountain push and rushed towards the wild boar fiercely.
With a bang, Qingya felt that he had hit a wall. Although the wall was crumbling, his chest felt tight, and his breathing suddenly became faster. After staggering for a while, he managed to stand firm. If it were other people of the same age, they would not have lost their focus after this collision, but Qingya has been living alone and helpless since he was a child, and the problem of malnutrition has been with him for a long time. Although he has been solved in the past few days after entering Huaying Building She has food and clothing problems, and her complexion is much rosier, but her thin body is still too thin.
Even though his body was in such terrible condition, the beast was hit so hard that his eyes were filled with stars, and he was swaying and somewhat unsteady on his feet. But after all, it was a beast with infinite strength. It took him a few moments to react and saw that one of them had disappeared into the bushes during this gap. He couldn't help but transfer all his hatred to Qingya.
I saw its front hooves digging twice on the ground, looking like it was moving forward bravely, and the fangs in its mouth flashed with a cold light in the sun. If he was hit by this blow, it would definitely poke two holes.
Qingya moved his legs into a side lunge, ready to avoid its charge at any time. Sure enough, after the wild boar scratched the ground twice, it rushed towards him like an arrow from a string. The speed was so fast that if he hadn't been prepared in advance, he might not have been able to avoid the impact.
Qingya kicked hard with his right leg, and quickly jumped to the left. The wild boar's thick body swished past the corner of his clothes. After landing, he rolled with the force, and rolled out five or six feet away. The branches that came to open up wasteland are already in my hands. I saw Qingya picking up the branch without looking at it, and just pulled it hard back and downwards.
He had turned his back to the enemy just now. If the beast reacted and rushed towards him again, he would be knocked to the ground by it. There was only a muffled sound, which was the sound of a blunt instrument hitting the flesh. After knowing that he had hit, Qingya turned sideways again and narrowly avoided the wild boar's fangs again.
Turning around, he saw that the beast's right eye was dripping with blood. Qingya couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that this hit hit its eye. After losing one eye, its attacks would be subject to many restrictions.
Taking advantage of the moment before the wild boar came back to his senses, Qingya held a stick in both hands and put the branch around the wild boar's neck. At the same time, he leaned on it, bent his arms, and locked it tightly. .
Feeling that the branches around its neck were getting tighter and tighter, the wild boar became more and more manic, roaring loudly and swaying its body randomly on the ground. This time it was painful for the green cliff that tightly locked it, and could only be pulled by its body, dragging it helplessly on the ground. Fortunately, it was soft grass. If the ground was full of rock debris, I'm afraid that I His knees were already in terrible shape.
At this time, Qingya gritted his teeth and still locked its neck tightly. The wild boar hoped to shake off the person who had locked him, but Qingya seemed to strangle it to death. One person and one animal were suddenly trapped. There was a stalemate.
At this moment, Hua Qing'er, who had planned to look for weapons, hurried back and saw the silver light shining in her hands, but they were the three hairpins she had taken off when tying her hair. Originally, after Hua Qing'er left, she looked around, but there were dead branches and weeds everywhere, not even a larger stone. Of course, she never considered whether she could move or not.
When he was scratching his hair anxiously, he touched his head and realized that he had put three hairpins in his pocket. These three hairpins are neither gold nor silver, but made of fine iron. Although they are only as thick as chopsticks, their hardness can penetrate gold and break jade.
At this time, he saw Qingya and the wild boar locked in a stalemate, being dragged around on the ground by the beast, and it seemed that he could no longer hold on. Hua Qing'er held the three hairpins between the four fingers of her right hand, clasping her thumbs tightly in the shape of a fist. Three rays of cold light struck her hand like meteors chasing the moon.
With a pop, the hairpin pierced the flesh and blood, and a few drops of blood splashed onto Hua Qing'er's pretty face, which was frowning with anxiety and anger.
