Chapter 687
Chapter 687
On the other side of the forest, more than ten tall horses were carrying more than ten middle-aged men with bulging temples. They were wandering in the open space about twenty zhang in front of the forest.
The few of them stood slightly forward and stared at the path of light in the forest that was getting dimmer and dimmer. The vigilance in their eyes also disappeared. However, the few of them tightly pulled on the reins of their horses and were determined not to take a step closer to the forest.
One of them laughed and said, "Senior Brother Ma, let's go back. Seeing that the path of light has already collapsed, it is impossible for anyone to come out today. Moreover, looking at the white fog in the forest and the condition of the path of light, I don't think it will appear tomorrow."
That Senior Brother Ma nodded and said, "Junior Brother Tan's words are very reasonable. According to my experience, today should be the last day of the 'Valley Orchid Dusk Refinement' restriction. Tomorrow, we don't have to keep watch."
Another said, "Senior Brother Ma has been patrolling this Valley for decades. Wasn't it also Senior Brother Ma who noticed the early opening of the Valley Orchid Dusk Refinement?
Moreover, the hall also rewarded Senior Brother Ma. Since you think the path of light will not appear tomorrow, it must be so. "
"Alas, this year's Valley Orchid Dusk Refinement is really strange. It opened early and closed early. Counting with my fingers, it has only been twenty days. There is still a long time before the one month deadline."
"Yes, but compared to the tragedy in the valley, this is nothing."
"In fact, let's not talk about the tragedy in the valley. Even if there was no 'Yellow Wind' and the beast tide, just the early closing of the Valley Orchid Dusk Refinement would have caused many disciples to die. This tragedy has long been doomed."
"Not necessarily. The tragedy now is that many of our ordinary disciples have died. Alas, hundreds of people in the Wuming Hall have died without a corpse. Adding the brothers of other halls, the number of people who have lost their lives in the Valley Orchid Dusk Refinement is in the thousands.
If the Valley Orchid Dusk Refinement was closed, the number would be even greater. Even the inner disciples wouldn't be able to come out. "
"Your words are wrong. Do you think our Senior Brother Ma has been guarding here for nothing?
Didn't he say a few days ago that the restriction at the Valley Orchid Dusk Refinement would be closed? "
At this time, Senior Brother Ma had a complacent look on his face as he laughed: "What a pity, what's the use of knowing the warning signs? This Youlan Grand Canyon is filled with ferocious beasts. Our Fragrant Religion's disciples have all turned into excrement."
"That's right. Fortunately, I had already gone through the trial five years ago. This is only the Outer Sect Test, so I don't have much confidence. The Hall also didn't allow me to enter again. Otherwise … I would also have been buried in the Grand Canyon." Junior Brother Tan's face was filled with lingering fear as he continued, "Only …"
He looked around and whispered, "I heard from the inner disciples that many disciples died at the entrance of the valley. Why didn't they clean up the mess in the hall?
It's always good to be buried in peace. "
Junior Martial Brother Ma smiled but didn't say anything. Another person mocked, "Junior Martial Brother Tan is kind-hearted. Why don't you go in and collect the body?
If you ask me, since you dared to enter the valley, you must be prepared to die. Hehe, to tell you the truth, Junior Brother Tan, I feel that this is … Pat your chest. Don't you feel that the following Outer Sect Test will be much easier? "
"Hehe …" Junior Martial Brother Tan only smiled and didn't say anything.
Senior Brother Ma scolded, "Junior Brother Fan, what are you talking about? They were all fellow disciples. Even if there was some competition, you can't disregard their lives. No matter how you look at it, you have to grieve for them."
"Grief … If that's the case, then we should ask the inner disciples to bring out the corpses of our Wuming Hall disciples. Moreover, Lingering Fragrance Peak can't just do nothing …"
These words were somewhat muttered, and Senior Martial Brother Ma only pretended not to hear.
As the three of them talked, the other ten people stood far away and didn't come forward. Although they didn't have weapons in their hands, their hands were very close to the scabbards at their waists. Their eyes glanced at the dense forest from time to time. If there was any abnormality, they could draw their swords in time.
Seeing that the dense fog in the dense forest had gathered, the trees and other objects had become blurry. Even the light path out of the forest was not clear. Senior Martial Brother Ma waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Junior Martial Brothers, this time's Orchid Dusk Refinement has come to an end. Tomorrow, I will come and take a look and confirm it myself."
"Okay, Senior Martial Brother Ma has worked hard. To be honest, when I came here, my hair stood on end. I really didn't want to stay here for a moment. Obviously, all the disciples are in the Death Valley. Why did they make us wait here?"
Everyone turned their horses around. One of them smiled and said, "It's just to let the other disciples who haven't gone through the trial see that the Cult of Fragrance won't give up any chance to save the disciples.
Moreover, a few days ago … "
As he was speaking, this person inadvertently turned his head. His face immediately turned pale with fright as he shouted, "Beast Tide, Beast Tide!!"
This shout didn't matter. The other two people immediately panicked. They didn't dare to turn their heads back. With a shake of the reins, they rushed forward and shouted, "Quickly go and report to the Hall Master. The Beast Tide really rushed out of the dense forest!!!"
The dozen people in the distance had already turned their horses around. When they heard this, they flattered their horses even more, afraid that they would fall behind.
Senior Martial Brother Ma ran a few feet before turning his head back in disbelief. He had been on guard duty here for dozens of years and had never seen any ferocious beasts come out. Not even a small squirrel.
"Elk ~" Senior Martial Brother Ma was shocked. This was a ferocious beast from the Great Orchid Prairie. How could it run out?
"Oh, no …" When Senior Martial Brother Ma looked carefully, he saw that the elk was pulling a carriage behind it!
Moreover, there seemed to be a person in the carriage!
Although the carriage was far away, it was a model commonly used by the Cult of Fragrance. Senior Martial Brother Ma could recognize it at a glance. His mind raced. "Could it be that there are still disciples alive?"
Just as he was thinking, the forest was already shrouded in fog. The light path also collapsed. At this moment, three carriages rushed out of the forest.
Senior Martial Brother Ma hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Senior Martial Brothers, please stop. There are still disciples alive!"
Just when Senior Brother Ma turned around, he missed a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life: After the three carriages, the fourth carriage flew out from the top of the third carriage at the moment the thick fog closed with a "whoosh" and landed diagonally on the empty ground. And a thin and tall figure, like a ghost, dashed out from under the carriage and landed directly on top of the carriage.
The sound of the carriage landing was so loud that even Zhang Xiaohu, who was walking in front, was stunned. He immediately turned his head, but when he turned his head, a scene that made his heart ache appeared. He saw that the thin and tall figure had just landed on the carriage. Immediately, his figure swayed twice, and with a "pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood …
"Xiaohua …" Zhang Xiaohu was shocked and immediately pulled the reins.
However, the strangest scene appeared.
The elk, whose eyes were covered by a silk scarf, was still energetically pulling the carriage forward. At this moment, its four legs were soft. There was no need for Zhang Xiaohu and the others to exert any strength. It immediately stopped and fell to the ground, as if there was a thousand pounds of weight on it. It couldn't even move. Its four limbs twitched a few times, followed by a few howls. A mouthful of blood was spat out from its mouth. It seemed that it was going to die on the spot.
Senior Martial Brother Ma's shout and the sound of Zhang Xiaohua's carriage landing attracted the attention of the people who were running for their lives. A few brave people turned their heads and saw the four carriages appear in the open space in front of the forest. Therefore, they gradually pressed down on the horse's head. However, when the elk appeared and died, they were terrified. Who would dare to go forward?
Even Senior Martial Brother Ma, who had called out to everyone, hesitated and stopped two hundred feet away.
At this moment, how could Zhang Xiaohu have the time to look at the elk?
He jumped down in a big stride. He didn't even care about his wife and hurriedly ran to Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting paralyzed on the carriage with a sallow face. He anxiously asked, "Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?
Did you injure your meridians? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a sweetness in her throat. A mouthful of blood surged up and she spat it out on the ground. Zhang Xiaohu was shocked. He hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his bosom and poured out a "Yuhuandan Pill". He was about to feed it to Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly stopped him and said, "Second Brother, it's fine."
"What do you mean it's fine?
You're already vomiting blood, how can you be fine? "Zhang Xiaohu kicked Zhang Xiaohua and said," Hurry up and take this Jade Restoration Pill. "
After spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, Zhang Xiaohua felt a lot better. He had just protected the four carriages and used up all the zhenqi in his meridians. Moreover, at the last moment, just like when he entered the valley, he didn't have time to get out. If it was a normal day, he would have used his lightness skill to follow. But the moment he flew up, he thought, "This carriage is filled with the spiritual herbs that Zhang Xiaohu painstakingly brought back to the Misty Hall. Not to mention that it is something that Second Brother cares about, even if it is brought back to the Misty Hall, many disciples of the Misty School will benefit."
When he thought of this, he knew that he could no longer escape on his own. Thus, he forcefully circulated his True Qi and flew out of the forest with the cart full of Spirit Herbs. Although he managed to protect the Spirit Herbs, he also suffered internal injuries!
Zhang Xiaohua forced a smile and said, "It's really fine. Second Brother, you should take a look at Second Sister-in-law first. She must have been frightened just now. She is injured!"
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He rubbed Zhang Xiaohua's head and said, "You child, what kind of injuries can she have? She's already telling me that she's alive and kicking. Don't worry about her …"
After saying that, he was about to personally feed the "Yuhuandan Pill" into Zhang Xiaohua's mouth.
Zhang Xiaohua whispered, "Second Brother, it's really not necessary. I have other pills here. Moreover, did you forget?
Didn't I just pretend to be injured?
Isn't this a good opportunity? "
Zhang Xiaohu muttered to himself and put the pill into the jade bottle. He was about to stuff it into Zhang Xiaohua's arms and said, "Then quickly take this pill. When you have time, quickly take it. Internal injuries can't be delayed."
Zhang Xiaohua's heart warmed. She smiled and said, "It's really not necessary. Look …"
After saying that, she took out a jade bottle from her bosom and said, "I have other healing pills. They are even better than the" Yuhuandan Pill "."
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua's seemingly endless supply of pills and hesitated. He naturally knew that if there was a pill better than the "Yuhuandan Pill", Zhang Xiaohua would have given it to him. Her words were obviously a lie. Therefore, he glared at her …
