Long

Chapter 13 13．Reuniting old acquaintances outside the camp
Seeing that Ding Can had gone far away, Shen Yunfei swayed twice, originally planning to go back here, but then he thought again: I haven't seen what Bi Wen looks like with my own eyes, but only heard the voice and saw the fire, and I still feel a little regretful.

Thinking of this, he turned around and continued walking along the iron fence.

After walking more than ten steps, a strange feeling arises spontaneously.

Shen Yunfei looked back and forth, and immediately realized something was wrong.

Along the way, there were soldiers guarding the fence at intervals of more than a hundred steps, and he saw that Ding Can kept saying hello to those soldiers.But after arriving here, he didn't see a soldier's figure again.

He looked left and right again, and made sure that after he entered the woods from the front, there were no soldiers guarding him again. Could it be that this area was not fortified?

Although Yunfei doesn't know how to use soldiers, he still knows this simple truth.The place where rare and exotic beasts like Boma and rhinoceros are raised should be an important place for military affairs. Even the fences have been replaced with iron ones. How could it be possible not to send troops to guard them?
He took two steps back, and was about to find the last guard he met to ask about it. Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the woods ahead, as if someone was walking, but the footsteps were very light.

Yunfei hid behind a tree almost subconsciously, but immediately laughed again, thinking: Since there are footsteps, it is probably the soldiers guarding here, why are you making such a fuss? Scared?Being so suspicious and sneaky, if someone finds out after a while, they will think it is some kind of unscrupulous person.

He was thinking about coming out from behind the tree when he suddenly heard a voice in the forest. He was taken aback for a moment and thought: Why did he seem to have heard this voice somewhere?

After being dazed, he didn't dare to come out again, he only poked out half of his head quietly, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

The trees in the forest are densely packed, and only a few figures can be vaguely seen swaying, and they seem to be dragging some heavy things in their hands.

Shen Yunfei's eyes were sharp, and when he looked at it, he was frightened out of his wits - what those people were dragging was the corpse of the guard of the Yang Yi Army soldiers, and Shen Yunfei even recognized the leader of this gang of gangsters.

The leader was none other than one of the four thugs he met on Yelongling when he was six years old—the thin leader!
Although it has been a long time, what happened that day was actually the most unforgettable thing in Yunfei's life.On that day, he killed the fat man among the four with his own hands. In those days, apart from being able to dream of the goddess Peizhong, the most frequent thing was that fat man's ghost took his life. woke up.

Goodbye to the skinny leader at this time, how could Shen Yunfei not recognize it at a glance?
After 14 years, the skinny man seemed to be much older. When I first met him, he looked about 30 years old. Now, it seems that his temples are gray and he is about 50 years old.It's just that the fierce spirit between the eyebrows has not changed, and he is still wearing an inconspicuous shabby sackcloth.

The skinny leader lowered his voice and asked, "Have they all been killed?"

Another person next to him replied, "They're all gone, there's not one left."

Shen Yunfei was startled at once - isn't this voice the same as the short murderer back then?

How did these guys come to Yiyang Barracks?And also killed the guards.What are they trying to do?After all, it is not a good thing to do.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunfei looked at it again.The thin leader took off the armor from the guards and put it on himself in two or three strokes, and the rest of them followed suit immediately.

After everything was settled, the dwarf asked again: "Boss, what should we do with these corpses?"

The thin man sneered and said, "Throw them all down the cliff."

Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, but he pondered again: Is there a cliff on this Songyang slope?
Just as he was thinking, he heard Xi Xi's footsteps, and several murderers actually carried the corpse and walked towards him.

Shen Yunfei panicked immediately, for fear of being discovered by these villains.In this panic, his feet were in a mess, and he accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground, and there was a crisp "click".

Hearing this voice, Yunfei knew it was over, his hiding place must have been discovered by those murderers, he didn't dare to continue hiding behind the tree, turned around and ran away.

Probably those murderers were also afraid of being discovered, so they didn't shout out loudly, but the hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer, apparently they had already caught up.

Shen Yunfei panicked and ran wild in the woods, suddenly felt that there was no space under his feet.When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had run to the edge of a cliff.At this time, he has already jumped off the cliff, and he is actually more than ten feet away from where he stumbled.

He was in mid-air, waving his hands and feet wildly, hoping to catch something.It's a pity that he was too far away after all, he didn't catch anything, and fell straight down.

At this moment, he vaguely heard a sneer from the cliff, saying: "This stupid boy, it's easy enough." Obviously it came from the mouth of the skinny leader.

Shen Yunfei sighed in his heart: It turns out that there is really a cliff on Songyang Slope.

As soon as he thought of this, he bumped into something on his back, and the third young master suddenly felt a "buzz" in his head, and a burst of blood surged in his body, and Dang even passed out.

I don't know how much time passed until he woke up faintly.It's just that there is still a ray of setting sun in the sky, half hidden and half hidden in the depths of the clouds.

"Could it be that there is a sun in this underworld?" Shen Yunfei pondered, turning over and sitting up, suddenly felt his hands were wet and sticky, and when he looked closer, his hands were actually covered with blood.

He was taken aback, his body quickly shrank back, and his vest suddenly hit something hard.

He didn't dare to move, turned his head carefully to watch, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.It turned out that what he had reached was just a sharp rock protruding from the rock wall, and there was nothing dangerous about it.

Looking at the situation now, he was shocked again.It turned out that at this time it was a protruding rock on the mountainside at the bottom of the cliff, no more than three feet long and wide.Not far from Shen Yunfei's side, in a pool of blood, lay a giant-winged strange bird and a stripped corpse.

Shen Yunfei boldly moved over and looked at the corpse, and saw that his whole body was paralyzed there like mud, his brain was cracked, his hands, feet, head and neck were broken, and his posture was particularly weird.

Seeing such a situation, the third young master felt a surge of sourness in his chest, and it took a long time before he forcibly held it back.

Looking back at the strange bird, it was already dead.It's just that the two wings, head and neck are still intact, but the belly seems to be crushed by something, and blood from the intestines is sprayed all over the ground.

Under it, there is another bird's nest that has been crushed to pieces, with dead branches and thatch everywhere, and bird droppings piled up. It seems that there used to be a few bird eggs in it, but now those eggs have long been crushed, and the egg whites and yolks flowed all over the ground. .

Yunfei poked the head of the strange bird with his feet, and found that it looked very strange, like a chicken but not a chicken, with a small meat crown on its forehead, the feathers all over the body were generally blue-brown, and the tips of the wings, The tail feathers and around the neck are blue again.Under the sunlight, the luster on the feathers seems to flow slowly, changing strange colors.

Shen Sanshao looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had read a related description in a scroll: "There is a bird, its shape is like Zhai, and its name is Luan..." The one in front of him is probably a legend. The luan bird that is as famous as the phoenix in China?
Shen Yunfei raised his head and looked up, only to see that the clouds above his head were faint, and he could not see the edge of the cliff, but he had already guessed it after roughly passing through—this half day on the cliff was probably where the nest of the Luanniao family was. , just in time to meet this ostrich returning to its nest, and when the two collided, the momentum of the third young master's fall was offset.In addition, there was that luan bird as a backrest, and there were a lot of dead branches and thatch under it, Shen Yunfei was saved from death and saved his life.

It's just that the cliff is too high, and the momentum of the third young master's fall is too violent, the poor Luanniao's family, all of them became ghosts under Yunfei's body.

But it's not right... If it's really a phoenix, then it can't be crushed to death by a mere Shen Yunfei. After all, it is an existence as famous as the divine bird Phoenix!

Yunfei looked down again, and suddenly realized.

The reason why he couldn't recognize this strange bird as Luan at a glance was precisely because the color of its feathers was a bit wrong.

According to the records in ancient books, the phoenix has five-color feathers all over its body, and it does not distinguish between male and female. Only in the mating season will there be obvious changes.For adult luan birds, the female is green and the male is red, so there is a difference between green luan and red luan.When the young birds grow up, Qingluan and Hongluan will turn back into five-color divine birds again.

Right now this one is obviously a blue luan female, because the chick hasn't hatched yet, so the coat color remains blue.

But for any such spirit beast, the breeding process is extremely difficult, even if it succeeds, it will definitely hurt its vitality.This Qingluan had just laid its eggs, and its body was very weak. Seeing that the place where Shen Yunfei landed was exactly where his offspring were, in a hurry, he used his body to protect the offspring.

It had just experienced a near-death catastrophe, and it was not as good as the most common beasts. What's more, Shen Yunfei fell very fast, and he died when he hit it.I just feel sorry for the children it desperately wanted to protect, and because of this heavy pressure, it was turned into a pool of debris.

After thinking about all this, Shen Sanshao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.You know, even Xiqu and Bi Wen are rare monsters in the world, let alone a spirit beast like Qingluan.

It takes at least hundreds of years for a phoenix to grow to adulthood, and it takes at least a few hundred years to become a green luan and give birth to a young child, let alone how many hardships it will have to go through.Now, it is in vain to sacrifice the life of a human being, it is really...

In view of being grateful for its life-saving grace, Yunfei picked up some withered branches and leaves scattered on the side, and hastily covered the head and face of the green luan.Then he knelt down on the narrow rock tremblingly, clasped his hands together, and silently recited a few paragraphs of sutras, which can be regarded as consolation.
