Chapter 605: Practicing the Epee
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the three of them continued up the creek.
Xia Wutong looked at Li Ye who was walking in front of the delivery and said, "Junior brother, is the wound still painful? Do you need to change the dressing?"
Li Ye looked at her, shook his head, and said with a smile, "We'll talk about it after I take a shower tonight."
Nangong Ruyu held his hand and looked at the hillsides on both sides from time to time. "Master, there seems to be fruit on this mountain."
"Find a cave first, and then go out to play with your sister. Don't go too far away."
With his current level of cultivation, his divine consciousness can cover a radius of five miles, so he can naturally take care of two people.
All the way up, we walked along the place where the sun rose for an hour, and finally saw a cave sitting on top of the creek.
"Yu'er, do you see it? As long as we keep moving along the place where the sun rises, we can cross the Tianshan Mountains and reach our teacher's hometown."
Li Ye let go of Nangong Ruyu's little hand and said to her, "You and your sister are waiting for me here. Master, go up and take a look."
Xia Wutong looked at him and nodded gently.
When you come to a strange place, you naturally have to check it carefully.
Stepping on the rocks beside the stream, Li Ye climbed to the outside of the cave on the stream without much effort, picked up a stone and threw it inside. After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and then continued to explore inside.
I saw that the cave was not big, a bit bigger than the place where Monk Poxu stayed on Tianshan Mountain. There were a lot of fallen leaves on the ground, which were a little soft when stepped on. I thought they must have been blown in by the mountain wind.
Looking at the two smooth stone slabs in the cave, I thought that these were natural mattresses, and they could be lived in as long as they were cleaned.
"Come up, be careful!"
Looking at the two people standing by the creek, Li Ye shouted loudly.
Xia Wutong pulled Nangong Ruyu up and climbed all the way up. The two of them looked at the huge cave and were so excited that they went inside.
"I want to sleep here, my sister and I will sleep together!"
Nangong Ruyu took the stone slab near the back first. The little girl had been to Fangcun Mountain once and had already learned how to choose a place to live in the wild.
Li Ye looked at the two of them and smiled: "Just clean up and make the bed, go around the neighborhood, don't go too far, don't panic when you are in danger, shout loudly, I can hear you."
The two of them responded and took out their luggage and piled it into the cave. In less than a quarter of an hour, they left the cave and ran towards the hillside below.
Climbing up the hillside through the woods, gradually away from the cave where Li Ye was. Li Ye silently took out his sword box, took out the Prajna heavy sword, and waved it lightly.
There was a dragon roar, hovering outside the cave, echoing the yellowing leaves in the woods far away, making it look a little deserted.
After just waving his hand, Li Ye fell into silence.
I just waved lightly just now, and it pulled the wound on my chest. I thought that this time I was really overplaying my hand. I thought I was invincible physically and underestimated the monsters on Tianshan Mountain.
If we talk about the physical body, the demonic beasts of the same realm in the Tianshan Mountains are several times stronger than humans.
When you encounter monsters in the future, you can't compete with them in terms of physical strength.
Holding the Prajna heavy sword in his hand, he continued to use the moves from the Tianshan Mountains. He did not dare to spend any energy and used the most clumsy moves, one sword, two swords...fifty swords...five
Hundred Swords......
It took him a whole hour, sweating profusely, to be able to swing a thousand swords.
The left-handed sword didn't dare to try it at all, because blood stains had already overflowed from the wound that Xia Wutong had bandaged. He had used too much force today and needed to rest for a while.
He picked up some dead branches and leaves, lit a fire, found some herbs and boiled them in an iron pot, and used the medicine-making knowledge that Qingxu taught him to heal his own wounds. Now was the best time.
It seems that I need to explain to the two girls later that when encountering monsters, run away if you can and don't fight them desperately.
You have to save your life and slowly explore this majestic mountain range to find more opportunities.
Maybe you can meet the Tianshan Snow Lotus brought back by Lao Lang and Xiao Bai, which can be used by Nangong Ruyu to help her break through to the realm of golden elixir as soon as possible.
Princess Wutong can also take it, and it might really make her break through to the state of distraction before going down the mountain. That would be the miracle of cultivation in the five realms that he created.
With a sigh, he returned to the cave and simply spread his quilt, then turned sideways and slowly lay on it.
Although I closed my eyes, I still didn't dare to fall asleep.
He was releasing his consciousness to look for the two girls who had already run up the hillside.
Without much effort, he found traces of the two of them in the bushes on the hillside...
Nangong Ruyu looked into Xia Wutong's eyes and asked seriously: "Sister Wutong, the master said that beautiful mushrooms cannot be eaten, and Yu'er is not allowed to sting. You just picked two red ones, take them out and throw them away."
Xia Wutongnian looked at her and smiled: "I think it's okay. It doesn't look poisonous. Do you want to take it back and let your master identify it?"
Nangong Ruyu thought for a while and said, "Okay, you are not allowed to pick it off again if you see it again?"
Xia Wutong shook his head and said: "We have picked enough mushrooms today. Let's go for a walk below. Didn't you see wild fruits just now? The fruits in this season are the most delicious."
Nangong Ruyu raised her face slightly, looked at her and said seriously: "Well, it's best to pick some mountain and wild pears and let the master pickle them for Yu'er to eat."
"That's right, the Nangong family gave him a bucket of honey last time. We haven't tasted it yet. It's the best for pickling the fruits on this mountain. We'll eat it slowly when it snows."
Xia Wutong looked at her thoughtfully and said.
Nangong Ruyu looked at the woods in the distance and said with a smile: "Let's go there quickly. The master will tell us later. He has too much control now and is not even allowed to go further."
Xia Wutong frowned slightly, looked at her and said, "Junior brother is afraid that the two of us will be in danger. Yu'er must understand your master's painstaking efforts."
Nangong Ruyu nodded and said with a smile: "Yu'er just discovered today that the master is more in charge than father and grandfather. I don't know if he is tired?"
"You're talking nonsense again. If it weren't for us, your master wouldn't have been injured. If he couldn't beat him, wouldn't he run away?"
After Xia Wutong finished speaking, he glared at her.
Nangong Ruyu tilted his head and asked, "Then why doesn't he run away? He's so stupid!"
Xia Wutong said without hesitation: "If he runs away, what will happen if the demon wolf comes to chase us both? Can Yu'er beat it?"
Nangong Ruyu was slightly startled, nodded and replied: "It seems that the master was injured to protect Yu'er. When we go back later, Yu'er will cook a pot of mushroom soup to comfort the master. I don't know if he is still in pain?"
Xia Wutong frowned and said, "You didn't see how deep the wound was. If it were me, I would definitely cry to death."
...
Li Ye, who was hiding on the stone slab, couldn't help but laugh while listening to the conversation between the two.
Seeing that the two of them would not run far away, and knowing the dangers in the mountains, he fell asleep unconsciously after being sleepy for the whole night.
With such a precious disciple by my side, I won't be lonely anymore just thinking about traveling thousands of miles.
He had a dreamless sleep, and when he woke up, it was already past time.
Opening his eyes, he saw two girls lighting a fire at the entrance of the cave and cooking porridge. Looking at Li Ye coming out, Nangong Ruyu came over and took his hand and said, "Master, come and see if these are poisonous mushrooms." ?”
"These...these...and these can't be eaten." Li Ye picked out the poisonous mushrooms and threw them aside. Some of this knowledge was taught to him by his husband, and some of it was taught to him by an old man from Tianshan. The ape taught him.
Now, he wants to teach this knowledge to the two girls in front of him.
Xia Wutong looked at him and nodded heavily. She knew that Li Ye had lived alone in Tianshan for more than a year, and with his experience in Fangcun Mountain over the years, he was much better than her as a princess.
Li Ye explained: "The brighter the mushroom, the more toxic it is."
"What should I do if I accidentally eat it?" Xia Wutong looked at her and smiled.
"It can range from vomiting to diarrhea, or life may be worse than death..." Li Ye thought to himself, I haven't tried it yet, how can I know the final result?
"Sister, would you like to try one to see if it's as scary as the master said?"
Nangong Ruyu picked up a red and green mushroom from the ground and handed it to Xia Wutong.
Xia Wutong looked at her, pinched her little face gently and said with a smile: "You can eat it yourself, I won't eat such a life-threatening thing."
Li Ye did not dwell on the matter with the two of them, but asked softly: "Yu'er, have you seen any wild pears? They are marinated in honey for you to eat on a snowy day."
The little girl shook her head and said: "I went to look for it today with my sister, but it didn't taste good. I'll look for it tomorrow."
Xia Wutongla continued: "The few trees I found today are indeed unpalatable, and I didn't see any wild autumn pears. I'll look elsewhere tomorrow."
Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Don't go tomorrow. You and Yu'er can stay and practice swordplay."
"Why?" Xia Wutong asked.
Li Ye looked at her silence for a moment and then said: "The purpose of you and Yu'er coming to Tianshan with me is to practice, not to go to the mountains to find wild fruits and vegetables. What you found today is enough to eat for a few days. I will continue to go when I recover a little bit." Look for it later.”
"Master, are you going to practice Yu'er's sword practice?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and asked.
Li Ye gently stirred the porridge in the pot, threw away some of the mushrooms they had washed, and said, "I'm not teaching you, you're the one practicing with your sister."
Xia Wutong was stunned, looked at him and asked: "How to practice sparring?"
Li Ye pointed to the woods at the foot of the mountain and said with a smile: "If you see those cedars, pick up more pine needles and bring them back tomorrow."
At this time, he remembered the scene of sparring with Mu Mu on Tianshan Mountain. Although he didn't want to recall it, he had to hold back these emotions in order to train his apprentice.
Nangong Ruyu looked at the woods at the foot of the mountain and asked: "Master, what do you want those pine needles for? Can you use them to play games with my sister?"
"You are already at the late stage of foundation building. You can circulate your true energy and use pine needles as weapons..."
Li Ye patiently explained to the two of them.
Xia Wutong looked at him thoughtfully and asked: "It seems that my master also practiced this kind of swordsmanship with you on Tianshan Mountain, right?"
Li Ye nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will demonstrate to you tomorrow. I really need to rest here for some days, so I can teach you two how to practice swordsmanship."
This is an isolated place. There is a stream below the cave, woods of different heights not far away, and a dense and windy virgin forest further away.
In Li Ye's opinion, if you go further up, there won't even be any woods. At most, there will only be low shrubs and some weeds. And Li Ye has no intention of conquering places that are too high.
It was a place where no other plant was willing to grow, and there was no opportunity he was looking for.
He planned to travel further into the depths for one to two months before winter came. Counting the fifty miles of mountain road every day, he would be able to push another thousand miles into the depths. If everything went well, he would be three miles away from conquering the Tianshan Mountains.
A little closer.
As for what Nalan Yu said about encountering a fire on the Tianshan Mountains, what kind of chance and adventure would it take?
At the moment, he doesn't have much hope for this.
He already has the inner elixir of the Tianshan Demon Wolf, but it is a pity that he still has to find the demon soul. Otherwise, when he returns to the imperial city, he can give it to Master Xuanbei of Qingliang Temple to help him complete the cultivation of the Formless Dharma Body.
Seeing Li Ye in a daze, Nangong Ruyu pushed him gently: "Master, the meat porridge is ready to eat."
