Phantom Spear - C225
Last time he mentioned: Jiang Feng’s group was walking on the road, and was about to meet a stormy sky. Jiang Feng and the others were in a hurry and forgot to bring their umbrellas, so only Tan Yuan remembered this incident. Tan Yuan did not mind, Gui Xuerou snatched his umbrella and everyone went to find a tree to shelter themselves from the rain. Gui Xuerou remembered her kindness and wanted to shield Xiao Muyu from the wind and rain. However, Xiao Muyu wanted to be together with Jiang Feng and Huang Yue, so he tactfully refused her good intentions.
Jiang Feng looked at the sky, the rain was as heavy as soybeans, he could not help but sigh: “It’s been so many days, and I’ve been through so many showers, today was the biggest one.” Huang Yue laughed: “Big Brother Jiang Feng, your shirt seems to be about to be drenched, when the time comes, the rain will rain down on me and my Elder Sister Xiao.” Jiang Feng glanced at it, the rain had already piled up on his clothes, and was about to spill out. Although Gui Xuerou was holding onto an umbrella by the side, such a small umbrella was still far from enough. Annoyed, she stomped her foot. Unexpectedly, she stomped her foot on the mud again, causing her mood to instantly turn sour. She scolded, “What the hell is this? It’s already late autumn, and there’s even a heavy rain in the summer. It’s really abnormal. ” Tan Yuan heard her words and continued: “In the past, I heard from my father that every year when the dragon raised its head, every year when the dragon raised it would look up, and all of a sudden, it would call the wind and summon the rain, swallow the clouds and spit out mist, and the storm would come for sure. And every year at the end of the autumn, there would be a dragon swinging its tail, and this time, the dragon swinging its tail would be even more violent than the dragon raising its head earlier in the year, I’m afraid that we have met this dragon swinging its tail today.” As Gui Xuerou listened to his voice that was mixed with the sound of rain, the gloom in her heart grew even stronger. She asked again, “What exactly is the Dragon King? Why does he have to overturn the rain and overturn the clouds every time he passes by? Why does he give us so much trouble? ” Tan Yuan was at a loss for words, unable to answer.
At this time, Jiang Feng’s clothes had already been completely drenched, and seeped out, dripping onto Huang Yue’s face. Huang Yue couldn’t help but cry out: “Ah, so cold!” Jiang Feng lowered her head to look at her, while Xiao Muyu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and helped wipe her body. Huang Yue was happy in her heart, and laughed: “Thank you Elder Sister Xiao, Big Brother Jiang Feng, this won’t do if this goes on, we are about to be drenched.” Jiang Feng was also helpless. After all, it was raining cats and dogs outside, even if she had an oil-paper umbrella with him, it would be useless. Jiang Feng began to unbutton the clothes on the second floor again, and Huang Yue immediately stopped him: “Big Brother Jiang Feng can’t do it, the weather is already very cold, if you continue to take it off, you will definitely catch a cold, I don’t want me to take care of you after you get sick on the way here.” Just as she finished speaking, another drop of rain fell on her face. Jiang Feng didn’t have any other choice. He knew that she could only preserve her life for a short period of time, but as a Master of Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall, as a good friend of Huang Yue and Xiao Muyu, no matter how cold she was, he had to ensure their warmth.
Gui Xuerou suddenly walked over and said: “Hey, Master Chiang, my hands are tired from holding on, help me hold on for a while.” Jiang Feng naturally understood her meaning, he knew that she wanted to share this umbrella with everyone. Jiang Feng nodded his head in agreement, and said: “Alright, but Lady Xiao, it’s your turn to hold on. This kind of pouring rain, staying here isn’t really a solution, so I will first go to the front to see if there are any houses or caves. When I find one, I will come back to fetch everyone, and everyone will go over together.” Xiao Muyu’s face revealed a look of worry, and said with concern: “Big Brother Chiang, if you go out alone now, I’m afraid of danger. Jiang Feng slowly nodded his head, but continued: “I think we won’t be able to stop the rain for long. If we don’t hurry up and find a place to shelter ourselves from the rain, I’m afraid we might not be able to stop ourselves from getting wet, and we might even be submerged in the rain. The terrain of this forest is rather low, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to stay for long. So, why don’t I go scout the area first? ” Xiao Muyu slowly nodded his head, naturally knowing that what he said made a lot of sense. However, Huang Yue immediately stopped them: “Big Brother Jiang Feng, it’s best if you don’t go alone. It’s raining so heavily, it’s very dangerous for you to ride the horse by yourself. Jiang Feng rejected immediately, and said: “No, Xiao Yue, you all just wait here for me. It’s precisely because it’s raining so heavily and it’s already late autumn, so if you were to suffer from the cold, then the gains would not make up for the losses. I, Jiang Feng, have a thick skin and I can still train well. Huang Yue was still saying it again, but Jiang Feng had already walked over to his white horse. Seeing his beloved mount trembling from the rain, his heart also could not bear it, but he forgot about the coldness in his body. Tan Yuan then stepped forward and said: “Master Chiang, why not let me accompany you.” Jiang Feng shook his head and said: “Brother Tan, when I’m not around, you have to properly protect the three ladies. If anything happens to them, I won’t forgive you when I come back.” Tan Yuan still wanted to say something, but Jiang Feng had already mounted his horse and leaped up. Huang Yue shouted loudly, “Big Brother Jiang Feng, be careful on your way!” Jiang Feng did not reply, and it was unknown if he heard it or not. Gui Xuerou could not help but exclaim: “Not bad, you are truly worthy of being a Master with Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. You are indeed a man worthy of praise.
Jiang Feng walked along the road and drew his own mark on the tree so that he could identify the direction. Otherwise, with rain and fog swirling around the forest, he really would not be able to find his way north. Jiang Feng rode for about 10 li and he did not notice a single pedestrian either. The tea stalls that were usually visible also suddenly disappeared without a trace, it seemed like this storm had affected many people’s business and activities.
Right at this moment, Gui Xuerou seemed to hear the sound of footsteps mixed in with the rain. The wariness in her heart grew, and she thought to herself: It’s raining so heavily, and there’s someone near us. With that in mind, Huang Yue could not help but say: “Elder Sister Xiao, quickly look, why are those people staring at us?” Xiao Muyu looked towards where Huang Yue was pointing, and saw many people. These people were dressed in gray, with straw capes on the outside and bamboo hats on their heads. Their expressions were all extremely unsightly. Xiao Muyu could not help but take a deep breath and said: “It can’t be such a coincidence, Big Brother Chiang just left and the evil people came out.” When Huang Yue heard the word ‘villain’, she panicked and said, “Elder Sister Xiao, what should we do?” However, Gui Xuerou seemed very calm at this time. She did not change her usual flirtatious smile as she said in a tender voice, “Yo, those few heroes in front, are all quite handsome?” However, the group of men wearing bamboo hats remained calm, the leader slightly stepped forward and said sternly, “Who the hell are you people? Why did it appear here? ” Gui Xuerou laughed tenderly: “You said it, it is not raining, our luck is not good, we are not hiding under the tree to avoid the rain, where else can we go?” The leader said, “Just to avoid the rain? I don’t think it’s that simple, right? ” Gui Xuerou said in disdain: “If it’s not to avoid the rain, then what other reason is there? Tell me about it. ” The leader frowned and shouted, “Hmph, stop pretending! We met many people like you along the way, but they all died in our hands. I advise you to quickly admit your identity so that you won’t regret it later.” Tan Yuan saw that the situation was not good, and said loudly: “Everyone, please do not misunderstand, what that lady said just now was indeed true, we did stop here to avoid the rain, once the rain stopped, we will leave, and we will not obstruct you all from entering, do as you please.” After all, he was a Young Hall Master of the Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong, and had learned many things from his father before. But the man in gray didn’t seem to appreciate it. He turned around and whispered to his nine companions, then said, “Who are you and where are you going? If you can answer, then we’ll be satisfied. We won’t make things difficult for you today!” Gui Xuerou was already displeased in his heart, and after hearing them say this, she became even more imposing: “Who exactly are you people? Where are we going? If you tell me, I won’t make things difficult for you today. ” The grey-clothed person snorted coldly and said, “Little girl, you don’t need to be so arrogant at such a young age. It seems that I’ll have to teach you a lesson today.” Gui Xuerou was not afraid, she immediately took out his cold jade sword, the jade green color on his rain soaked sword became even deeper.
What about later?
And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
