Light snow fell in the Kunlun Mountains at night, and the breeze blew on the branches of the mountain forest, making various sounds. At the same time, there were also birds and small animals that moved at night, taking advantage of the night to come out for activities. There was a bird standing on the treetop in the distance.
The snowy owl made a terrifying and strange cry, which made the sisters Jiang Tingxia and Zhou Ruoxi who were sleeping in the tent nervous and frightened.
Because they had never spent a night like this in the wild. Although they lived on Mount Emei and heard the calls of birds and beasts in the mountains and forests at night, they had never heard such a weird call as this snowy owl...
Wan Yunting, who was watching the night, took his mobile phone and saw that it was only ten o'clock in the evening. Since there was still a little signal where they were now, he could still access the Internet. He had a video chat with Fang Yanxi just now, and now he
Busy replying to messages from Gu Luotang and the others...
Hearing the sound of zippers, Wan Yunting turned around and saw sisters Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia walking out of the tent wrapped in cloaks. They looked at other people's tents. Everyone had obviously fallen asleep.
After all, Li Zihang, Xu Lingwei and his disciples live on Wuliang Mountain all year round, so these movements in the mountain are normal, and it goes without saying for Master Wuwei.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Wan Yunting watched their junior sisters coming quickly. Jiang Tingxia's little face started to move, and her big eyes nervously looked around the dark surroundings, "Junior Brother Wan, aren't you afraid?"
Wan Yunting was startled and looked at the nervous expressions of his fellow apprentices. It turned out that they were afraid to come out because they heard the strange calls of birds in the surrounding woods. He smiled and said: "I'm fine, but don't be afraid, it's just those owls."
Weird screams."
"No, I've heard the hoot of an owl. We also have it in Mount Emei. The hoot is different."
Jiang Tingxia and Zhou Ruoxi sat down around the campfire and compared words.
"That may be different species of owls. After all, there are so many species of owls. Maybe the species that is calling now is a species only found in the Kunlun Mountains here."
Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Too…"
Jiang Tingxia nodded and said, "But it sounded so creepy that senior sister and I couldn't sleep."
Zhou Ruoxi, who was sitting beside her, looked at Wan Yunting with her Qiu eyes somewhat sheepishly. He nodded and smiled and said, "It's okay. If you can't sleep, just sit here and warm yourself by the fire. If you want to sleep later, you can go back to sleep."
"Okay, then senior sister and I will stay here with you to keep vigil."
Jiang Tingxia moved her position and leaned towards Wan Yunting, and also pulled Zhou Ruoxi: "Senior sister, please sit over here too. It will keep you warm if we are close together."
"Um…"
Being dragged by her junior sister, Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face flushed slightly. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold weather or because she was shy and embarrassed, but she was sitting next to Jiang Tingxia, and there was this girl between her and Wan Yunting.
"Junior Brother Wan, tell us a story."
Jiang Tingxia turned her face, her big and smart eyes sparkling under the flames, and she seemed to be very interested in Wan Yunting.
"What stories can I tell? Why don't you tell me about the Emei sect's deeds? I don't know much about these."
Wan Yunting turned his face to look at them and said with a smile.
"OK."
Jiang Tingxia was happy and turned to Zhou Ruoxi with a smile: "Then let me tell you, senior sister, she knows more than me."
Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face was startled. She didn't expect this girl to ask her to speak. Seeing the man's eyes looking at her expectantly, Zhou Ruoxi's heartbeat sped up inexplicably, and her tone was awkward, "Speak, what are you talking about...?"
"Let me tell you how your Emei sect was established. It was the story of the founder of the Emei sect."
Wan Yunting looked at her and said with a smile.
"Sister, please tell me quickly."
Jiang Tingxia also urged her. Zhou Ruoxi took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat, then looked up at Wan Yunting, nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's start with the founder of our Emei Sect..."
So the three of them sat around the bonfire. Zhou Ruoxi talked about the history of their Emei sect very seriously, while Wan Yunting also listened with a smile. From time to time, he would pick up the dry firewood nearby and add it to the fire to prevent the fire from becoming small and extinguished.
…
At this time, on the other side, Lei Tianhu and his group, who had not yet arrived at the Kunlun Mountains, also chose a place to camp and rest.
"Brother, here..."
The second child opened the can of beef and handed it to Lei Laohu who was sitting next to him, and said: "I just looked at the position and we are still more than five kilometers away from that guy's position. We will get up early tomorrow and speed up the pace. We should be able to catch up at noon or afternoon.
them!"
After all, this mountain road is difficult to walk. Although the distance is only more than five kilometers, Wan Yunting and the others are also mobile, so Leihuhu and the others can only speed up their pace in order to catch up with them.
"Then tell the brothers to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
Lei Hu, who had finished eating the can of beef, threw the tin can on the snow. His eyes flashed fiercely under the flames. He wiped his mouth with his big hand, rubbed it on his clothes, and said: "They should
We won't be able to set off until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, so we have to catch up in advance!"
"clear."
The second child nodded, and the third and fourth children sitting nearby also nodded...
On Wan Yunting's side.
After listening to Zhou Ruoxi's serious talk for an hour, Jiang Tingxia was so sleepy that he yawned. Wan Yunting looked at the time and it was already 11:30 in the evening, and smiled and said: "Okay, Senior Sister Zhou, it's not early, you guys go to bed quickly."
.”
"Well, I'm sleepy too..."
Jiang Tingxia really couldn't listen to her senior sister's serious talk about the history of their Emei sect, so she got up and dragged Zhou Ruoxi, and said to Wan Yunting: "Junior brother Wan, then you continue to keep vigil, let's go to bed."
"OK, good night…"
Wan Yunting waved his hand and smiled.
Zhou Ruoxi also smiled and nodded at him. There seemed to be some reluctance in her autumn eyes. She turned around and went back to the tent to sleep...
Wan Yunting continued to sit next to the bonfire, his vigilant eyes scanning around the hazy and dark woods. Apart from the strange sounds of the snow owls and small animals, he did not sense any danger.
But Wan Yunting has always been cautious and vigilant in his heart. He thinks that Sima Boyong and others must know that his group went into the mountains to look for medicine.
With someone like him who is determined to retaliate, he might have sent someone to follow him, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate!
After observing the surroundings, Wan Yunting made sure that there was no danger, then he sat cross-legged next to the campfire and meditated. He circulated the energy in his Dantian through the meridians throughout his body, and suddenly felt warm all over his body...
Unknowingly, he practiced for several hours. At about three o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Zihang, who had set his own alarm clock, got up and Wan Yunting went to sleep. However, he seriously told Li Zihang to be serious and to do anything if there was any danger.
call him...
It was not until 6:30 in the morning that Wan Yunting, who was sleeping in the tent, got up. Although he only slept for more than three hours, he did not appear tired at all, but was still very energetic.
He opened the tent and came out, and saw Li Zihang sitting there cross-legged, sleeping with his chin on his thigh in one hand. The fire had been extinguished long ago, and only a few wisps of green smoke were left, but the wind and snow in the morning had stopped.
Now, the sky is getting a lot brighter, and the chirping sparrows can be heard in the woods...
call…
Wan Yunting stretched his back with both hands, then went over and kicked Li Zihang, "Wake up."
"Well…"
Li Zihang woke up in a daze and turned to look at Wan Yunting, "Junior brother Wan, are you awake? What time is it?"
"Six-thirty in the morning."
Wan Yunting squatted down and started to continue making a fire, "Go and see if Uncle Master is awake, and call the others so that everyone can get up quickly."
"oh."
Li Zihang stood up, rubbed his groggy eyes, and then went to Uncle Wuwei's tent to call him, but the next second he unzipped the tent chain and came out, saying: "I'm awake, Zihang, go call the others."
.”
"Okay, uncle."
Li Zihang went to call his senior sister Xu Lingwei, and then called Lu Bao and Chen Bin...
Soon Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia woke up when they heard the commotion. Everyone got out of the tent one after another, looking worried and lazy. It was obvious that everyone slept well last night.
"Lu Bao, hurry up and pack your things. We are leaving at seven o'clock."
Wan Yunting added firewood and rekindled the fire. He was taking an iron kettle, adding clean snow and putting it in the fire to burn. He smiled at Zhou Ruoxi and the others and said, "I'll boil some hot water for everyone to drink later."
It’s not cold anymore after the first bite.”
"Okay, Junior Brother Wan is so considerate."
Jiang Tingxia's lazy voice sounded very nice, but then she pulled Zhou Ruoxi: "Senior sister, do you want to go to the toilet?"
Hearing this girl say this in front of Wan Yunting, Zhou Ruoxi was embarrassed, but she also wanted to go to the toilet, but in the empty woods around them, they were not men, so they ran farther away and faced a tree
Trees can solve it.
Wan Yunting also saw that they were embarrassed, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Come with me."
Jiang Tingxia and Zhou Ruoxi's pretty faces were startled. They watched him walking towards the woods. The junior sisters looked at each other. They didn't know what Wan Yunting was going to do, but they couldn't help but follow...
