It is already the beginning of winter, and the vast Manglong Mountains have entered the quietest time of the year.
The originally green mountains had withered vegetation and few wild animals. A fine light snow fell in the desolate mountainous area. The cold wind from the north whistled over the mountains, faintly carrying the hungry howls of winter wolves in the distance.
Deep in the mountains, a team of seven people was walking on the muddy and rugged animal trails.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and winter nights always come very early. Qin Yun glanced at the surrounding mountains, pointed at a cliff not far away and said, "There is a cave over there, and we will camp there tonight.
!”
The six young men and women following him took a long breath in unison and started chattering.[
"Finally I can rest!"
"Well, I really want to be able to lie on the bed and sleep!"
"I'm so hungry, I feel like I could eat a cow!"
"Don't make any noise, let's listen to Senior Brother Qin and go over quickly!"
Listening to the busy chatter behind him, Qin Yun couldn't help but have a smile on his lips.
These boys and girls aged sixteen or seventeen are the latest outer disciples to join the Tiancheng Sword Sect. Most of their strength and cultivation are between the fifth and seventh heavens of Qi Refining. They are elite disciples with outstanding talents. As long as there are no accidents, they can enter
Inner doors are only a matter of time.
In order to deal with the frequent attacks by the shaman clan in the northern Youyuan, and to prepare for the war that is destined to break out in the future, the Tiancheng Sword Sect has recently issued many sect tasks with generous rewards, encouraging the outer disciples to practice bravely and diligently, and to enter the Manglong Mountains to hunt for animals.
Kill the witch warriors to increase your combat power.
Of course, the difficulty of the tasks is also different. For example, like these new elite disciples, although the sect also allows them to enter the Manglong Mountains, they must form a team. In addition, inner disciples of the inner sect's innate realm will be assigned to lead them.
team to ensure their safety to the greatest extent.
As an inner disciple of the Zhui Yunfeng lineage, Qin Yun also has a lot of responsibility to lead the newcomers.
Fortunately, this team behind him was not the first time to enter the Manglong Mountains to hunt the Wu clan. They had come here with other senior brothers before, so they knew a lot of basic common sense and did not need to distract Qin Yun too much.
The six newcomers are four boys and two girls, and the two girls are twin sisters. They all come from good families, and they are not particularly able to endure hardships. They are only willing to brave the cold to go into the mountains to practice after tasting the sweetness of the sect's rewards.
However, their luck was not good. In the three days since they entered the mountain, they did not encounter even a decent monster. As for the Wu warriors, there were not even half a ghost. Naturally, they would not get any credit if they could not find prey.
Traveling through mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open was also extremely hard, and several of the teenagers felt a little tired.
At the same time, I don’t have much respect for Qin Yun. Although Qin Yun has done many major things that caused a stir in the sect, most of them are discussed among the upper echelons of the Sword Sect. In addition, he is low-key and often goes out for training. Even the Thirty-Six Tiangang
Disha disciples did not participate in the competitions, so the new disciples were basically unfamiliar with him.
However, the status of inner disciples cannot be offended, so they dare not disobey Qin Yun.
The cave Qin Yun found was not big, but it was more than enough for a camping site for seven people. It might have been the lair of a certain monster. There were many white skeletons scattered in the cave, which made it look a bit deep and mysterious.
terror.
Fortunately, the six outer disciples were not ordinary people. They were very courageous martial arts practitioners. After cleaning up a little, they found wood and firewood from outside to set up a bonfire. Soon the cave became warm and comfortable.
The teenagers untied their bags and took out blankets, cooking utensils, and barbecue seasonings. Soon a pot of broth was boiling, and the meat pieces were tumbling in the water, exuding a rich aroma.
A strong-bodied young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stirred the broth with a spoon, and sprinkled some seasoning mixed with salt and pepper. After the meat was cooked until soft, he carefully scooped up half a bowl and poured it diligently.
Pass it to the girl sitting not far away.
"Junior sister Murong, drink it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold!"[
The two twin girls are named Murong Chuqing and Murong Chuxue respectively. Since they look exactly the same and dress up exactly the same, others often can't tell who is who if they don't tell them.
Therefore, those young companions can only be called "Junior Sister Murong" in general.
The girl smiled sweetly and took the soup bowl, but did not drink it immediately. Instead, she turned around and held the bowl in both hands and offered it to Qin Yun, who was sitting behind and leaning against the cave wall: "Brother Qin, thank you for your hard work. You drink first."
!”
The young man with thick eyebrows suddenly looked embarrassed. Several other young men sneered secretly. Qin Yun smiled faintly, took the soup bowl and said, "Junior sister Chu Qing is interested."
The girl couldn't help but open her eyes. She and her younger sister often played the "Guess Who I Am" game with others. Sometimes even her parents could not tell the difference, and the four teenage companions were even more confused.
But in Qin Yun's eyes, his sister Chuqing and his sister Chuxue were clearly distinguished and they were never missed.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the two girls respect Qin Yun very much. They are far less respectful than the other four teenagers, even though Qin Yun has not shown any amazing strength so far.
Qin Yun didn't care what she was thinking. He ate the dry food and the broth with relish, and took out a green-skinned gourd from his baggage.
As soon as the cork was opened, the fragrant aroma of wine overflowed. Murong Chuqing wrinkled her little nose exaggeratedly, revealing a salivating look, and said softly: "Senior Brother Qin, I didn't expect you brought wine, can you give it to me?"
Want a drink?"
Murong Chuxue, who was standing next to her, showed a completely lustful look and shouted, "Senior brother, I want it too!"
Qin Yun smiled and generously handed the wine gourd to Murong Chuqing.
These twin sisters are also interesting. Both of them are equally lively, cute, beautiful and innocent, which makes the four teenagers on the same team fall in love with them. Overt and covert jealousies often happen.
It's just that the two girls didn't make false remarks to anyone, so it didn't affect the unity of the team too much.
Murong Chuqing and Murong Chuxue each took two sips of wine and returned the wine gourd to Qin Yun. Several teenagers looked at it with some greed, but they could not imitate the coquettishness of girls, so they could only watch helplessly.
But Qin Yun didn't even have the slightest intention to share it with them, which made the four teenagers secretly curse.
After finishing the pot of broth, the sky outside was completely dark, but the wind and snow suddenly picked up. The howling wind brought snow particles into the cave from time to time, and the bone-chilling chill made the light of the campfire dim.
.
The four young men were all growing up and practicing martial arts at the best time. Of course, a pot of broth was not enough. The boy with thick eyebrows added meat and water to the soup pot and boiled the second pot of broth.
At this moment, Qin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the cave wall, frowned. He only heard the sudden sound of wind, and countless amounts of frost and snow rushed into the cave, affecting everyone!
Several teenagers were caught off guard, with snow particles flying all over their bodies and faces, and the bonfire was almost extinguished.
The next moment, two dark cyan figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave!
The six disciples were all shocked, and immediately stood up, with their hands all pressed on the hilt of the sword.
The visitors were two swordsmen in green clothes, in their thirties or forties, one with a round face and the other with a long face, one with a smile and the other with a sinister face. They were dressed in fancy clothes and carrying swords with great aura. They were obviously not ordinary people.[
Neither of them carried identification plates on their bodies. Although neither of them looked like members of the Wu Clan, the Sword Sect disciples were already extremely vigilant.
Manglong Mountain spans thousands of miles, and there are four major sects related to it. Except for the Tiancheng Sword Sect, the other three are not friendly allies. The Yangming Sect is said to have formed an alliance with the Wu Clan, and the Beiming Sect has an ambiguous attitude.
Therefore, disciples of the Sword Sect who are practicing in Manglong Mountain must be careful when encountering sword cultivators who are not from the same sect.
"Are you disciples of Tiancheng Sword Sect?" The round-faced sword cultivator spoke first and said with a smile: "We brothers are passing by here. It's very windy and snowy outside, so we want to take a rest here. Is it okay?"
He revealed the identities of the disciples of the Sword Sect in one breath. Although he had a nice smile and a soft tone, there was a hint of bossiness in his words.
As he spoke, the round-faced swordsman's eyes swept across the faces of the Sword Sect disciples one by one, and finally landed on the two girls Murong Chuqing and Murong Chuxue. There was a hint of surprise and greed in his narrowed eyes.
color.
Murong Chuqing and Murong Chuxue were extremely disgusted by his gaze, and they both snorted and turned around.
The young man with thick eyebrows couldn't help feeling angry. He frowned and said coldly: "I'm sorry, there are already people here. Please find another place!"
The round-faced swordsman's face suddenly darkened, and his original smile instantly turned into frost. A pair of small eyes stared at the thick-browed young man like a poisonous snake, and said in a dark voice: "Boy, don't toast me and you will be punished with a drink!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of coercive aura suddenly emerged, overwhelming the bodies of several young men in an instant!
Innate master!
The four Sword Sect disciples couldn't help but change their expressions, and retreated uncontrollably. The overwhelming pressure from the round-faced swordsman made their breathing stop.
The long-faced swordsman said coldly: "Sixth, if you play with these juniors, kill them all!"
The round-faced swordsman licked his lips and said with a smile: "It's a pity to kill them all. These two girls are pretty good. You and I can just use them to relieve our boredom, so we won't be lonely at night, haha!"
Murong Chuqing and Murong Chuxue were shocked and angry, and felt a hint of fear in their hearts. Their eyes couldn't help but fall on Qin Yun beside them.
Qin Yun slowly stood up from the ground and stepped in front of the young men, facing the round-faced swordsman.
With an expression on his face, he uttered one word coldly: "Get out!" (To be continued...)
