Chapter 713: Dark Wind
The group of people walked in the mountains for an afternoon. The girl Russell Mei seemed to be going out for the first time. She was in high spirits, like a child entering the city for the first time. She never stopped talking all afternoon. Ye Wutian
The five of them were all very quiet, and they could only listen to her chatting and rambling.
At dusk, the sky was already dark, so everyone found a secluded small valley and planned to take a rest here.
Everyone gathered some firewood and built a bonfire, caught some game and sat around in front of the bonfire to barbecue.
"Dad, why is this mountain range called Yinfeng Ridge?" Russell Mei asked curiously while roasting a little rabbit in her hand.
Rosen moved the firewood and explained: "In the past, this mountain range was called Shenfeng Ridge, because the all-powerful Shenfeng Pavilion was located in this valley. However, more than ten years ago, the Shenfeng Pavilion was destroyed overnight.
was exterminated. After that, this
Strange winds often blow in the mountains. People will disappear wherever this strange wind passes. People think that this strange wind is the soul of the dead in Shenfeng Pavilion, so they call it the evil wind. And this area
The mountains also turned into Yinfeng Ridge."
"Dad, are there really ghosts here?" Russell asked in fear, leaning towards the bonfire again.
"It's just a rumor. How can there be any ghosts?" Rosen said.
"Yes, we have walked this road no less than ten times, and we haven't seen any strange wind." Luo Yan said.
"Then why do we have to bypass the central area of the mountain?" Russell asked again.
"Because it is rumored that the closer you are to the center of the mountain, the greater the possibility of encountering evil winds. Although we do not believe that there are ghosts in this mountain, but as the saying goes, it is better to be careful in everything. Besides, there are ghosts in this mountain.
There are many spiritual beasts, and even holy beasts appear in the central area. Even if there are no rumors of this ghost, we still have to avoid the central area." The thin man named Luo Hui explained.
"Is the holy beast very powerful?" Russell Mei continued to ask.
"Of course, holy beasts are equivalent to us humans who are powerful in the heavenly realm, and holy beasts of the same level are even more powerful than those in the heavenly realm." Luo Hu said.
"Doesn't that mean that even dad can't deal with it?" Russell Mei said in surprise.
"That's why we need to take a detour," Rosen said.
Russell Mei nodded, then turned to Ye Wutian and asked: "Brother, where is Yancheng? Is it fun?"
"This is my first time to go there," Ye Wutian replied casually.
"Then what are you doing in Yancheng?" Russell Mei asked again.
"Go find someone." Ye Wutian replied simply.
"Who are you looking for? Oh! I see, it must be your sweetheart, right?" Russell asked with a beautiful smile.
Ye Wutian wiped his sweat and explained: "It's not my sweetheart. I'm going to find my junior sister."
"Junior sister? Are you a disciple of some sect?" Russell Mei was like a baby with questions, asking non-stop.
"It's just a small unknown sect." Ye Wutian replied. If this girl wasn't so beautiful, he wouldn't be interested in talking nonsense to her.
"It turns out it's just a small sect." When Ye Wutian said it was a small sect, Russell Mei seemed a little disappointed, and then she continued to ask: "Isn't your junior sister very beautiful?"
Ye Wutian was a little speechless. He had already seen what this girl was capable of. As soon as he started asking, there would be no end.
Seeing this momentum, Luo Yan quickly joked to help Ye Wutian: "Xiao Mei, if you ask so carefully, do you think you like her?"
Russell's face turned red, and she said in a coquettish tone: "How is that possible! My requirements are very high. First, my cultivation level must be as high as my father's. Secondly, I must be as strong as my father. Thirdly, I must be as handsome and unrestrained as my father."
He has not achieved any of these three points."
Ye Wutian sweated violently after hearing this.
Luo Yan chuckled and said, "Then you might as well marry your father."
The rest of the people also burst into laughter.
"If my father were not my father, then I would marry him." Russell Mei said with a smile.
"Then I'm really glad that I am your father. Otherwise, if I marry a chatty man and go home, my ears will get calluses from now on." Rosen said with a smile.
"Dad, how can you dislike your daughter so much!" Russell Mei pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly.
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Seeing the family being so happy, Ye Wutian couldn't help but miss his father and the others, and wondered how they were doing now.
After laughing, Luo Luomei approached Ye Wutian again and asked in a low voice: "Little brother, isn't your junior sister very beautiful?"
"Uh!" Ye Wutian wiped his sweat.
Except for Russell Mei, the other four people did not inquire about anything from Ye Wutian. To them, Ye Wutian was just a passerby. Similarly, Ye Wutian did not inquire about their affairs and waited until they arrived at Shenfeng Pavilion.
After leaving the ruins, he will be separated from these people and will have no further relationship with them.
The journey of life is like this. You will meet many passers-by along the way, but in the end, only a few will stay with you and accompany you on your journey.
The sky was dark, the valley was silent, the firewood was burning, making crackling sounds, the swaying firelight illuminated the faces of the six people, and the barbecue on the bonfire gave off an alluring aroma.
Russell Mei finally stopped talking. Her attention was attracted by the barbecue on the campfire, and her mouth was already filled with saliva.
"Dad, are you okay?" she asked several times.
"When the skin cracks and oil leaks out, it will be healed soon." Rosen replied unhurriedly.
"Looking at you like a greedy cat, I advise you not to have too much hope. This barbecue smells good, but it doesn't taste as delicious as you imagined." Luo Yan reminded.
"Xiaoyan, don't educate Xiaomei. When you first went out and saw this barbecue, you were just like Xiaomei. You were so greedy that your eyes almost popped out." Luo Hu said.
"Third uncle, how can I be so exaggerated as you are?" Luo Yan said angrily.
"Haha, in fact, just from this barbecue, you can see the experience of a monk. When you eat it for the first time, you are full of expectations and excitement because it is fresh; however, when you eat more, you will naturally feel that you are hungry.
It is so boring that you will be tired and numb by that time; but if you keep eating like this, one day you will be able to taste a new taste from it. Just like white rice, it is tasteless when chewed, but after chewing for a long time, it will become dull.
You can chew it to bring out the sweetness," Rosen said eloquently.
"Yes, as the saying goes, one branch, one leaf, one world, every tiny thing contains the great principles of life. You young people should practice more to experience the real life." Luo Hui said.
Ye Wutian also agreed very much with what these two people said. During those years with his master, he had good food, good housing, easy life, and a carefree life. He didn't think about what life was at all. However, in this short six months,
After experiencing too many life and death hardships, Ye Wutian finally experienced real life, and experienced sour, bitter, spicy and salty in addition to sweet. Only a complete life with all five flavors.
The bonfire was dim, everyone had eaten and drank enough, rested, and practiced. They had to be energetic for tomorrow's journey.
There was silence in the valley, with the occasional crackle of firewood and the rustle of the trees blown by the evening wind. For them, this kind of life of sleeping in the open was already normal.
As the night progressed, in the early hours of the morning, a strong wind suddenly hit the valley.
The strong wind blew the bonfire, turning the originally dim charcoal fire into a fiery red color, with little sparks rising up.
No one paid attention to the strong wind until a scream sounded and everyone was woken up.
"Ah! Dad, save me!~~" This was Russell's beautiful voice, and it came from dozens of meters away.
Everyone opened their eyes. Russell Mei had long disappeared. The valley was extremely quiet, as if nothing had happened.
"Xiaomei, Xiaomei!" Rosen stood up and shouted loudly, then hurriedly rushed towards the entrance of the valley, shouting as he rushed.
The other three people also realized that something was wrong and quickly got up and followed.
As early as Russell Mei's exclamation sounded, Ye Wutian immediately launched his mental power detection. What surprised him was that Russell Mei was actually wrapped in a tornado and rushed towards the center of the mountain.
Recalling the rumors about the Yin Fengling that Rosen had mentioned before, Ye Wutian immediately felt that the rumors were not false. As for whether the tornado was a ghost, he still didn't know, and even if it was a ghost, it would not be surprising.
When Rosen and others rushed towards the mouth of the valley, Ye Wutian also quickly stood up and ran in the direction of the tornado with running thunder steps. Although he and this group of people just met by chance, there was no need to take risks for them.
But he was very curious about this so-called evil wind, and he wanted to find out what was causing it.
The four Rosens had just rushed to the entrance of the valley when they suddenly saw a figure covered in electric light flying past them. At the same time, Ye Wutian's voice rang in their ears: "I'll chase you. You continue along the original route."
Just move forward.”
Ye Wutian's speed was incredibly fast. By the time the four of them reacted, he had already escaped a hundred meters away, leaving only a little white light flickering.
"Second uncle, does it sound like the voice of Brother Yang just now?" Luo Hu asked in surprise. As he spoke, he looked back towards the valley, as if looking for Ye Wutian's figure.
"It seems true. Judging from his strange movements, I hope I can catch up with him at that speed," Luo Hui said.
"I felt a gloomy wind coming just now. Are the rumors about Yinfeng Ridge true?" Luo Hu was a little frightened.
"Second uncle, what should we do now?" Luo Yan asked Rosen at a loss.
"With Brother Yang's cultivation, even if he can catch up with the evil wind, he may not be able to deal with it. What's more, there will be many holy beasts in the central area of the mountain at night." Luo Hui said anxiously.
Rosen frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the three of them: "You three continue along the original route, and I will chase you alone."
