The maid was very young and looked about the same age as Qin Nian.
Su Bi looked at her and said, “All your sisters are dead, and now you are the only one left.
Why did Princess Lanling kill my master? Do you want to tell me? If you don't, I will send you to death now.
Your princess just died not long ago, and you can still catch up with her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand trembled and made a soft hum, as if it was thirsty for blood.
The little maid's face was extremely pale and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.
“I, I said.
That day, the old man, your uncle, came up from behind on horseback, muttering that he couldn't catch up.
It’s finished, it’s finished. He is the real number one in the world.
The princess was in a bad mood at the time. When she heard the old man and your uncle say that he was the best in the world, she immediately became furious and wanted to kill him.
He poisoned your uncle-master and then slapped him.
That old man who boasted that he was the best in the world was beaten down the cliff."
Qin Nian’s face turned red with anger: “Just because she’s in a bad mood, she doesn’t allow others to talk to themselves?
She is willing to kill for this, this Princess Lanling really deserves to die."
Su Bi was also very angry. He barely controlled his anger and continued to ask:
"Since Lanling is a princess, why do so few people know about her?
Is Lanling her name?"
This was the first time that Su Bi heard of this princess during his travels.
The little maid started to cry: "I heard from Sister A Xi that the princess went up the mountain with her master when she was seven years old and joined the Lanling Sect.
Because she was a princess, her fellow disciples all called her Princess Lanling.
I really don’t know if Lanling is her name.
I have been with Princess Lanling for a short time. I have never done anything evil, let alone killed anyone.
My dear hero, my dear sister, I have told you everything I know, please let me go."
"Go, find a good place and live your life."
Su Bi let the little maid go, and the maid jumped on the horse and galloped away at a very fast speed, probably because she was afraid that Su Bi and Qin Nian would go back on their word.
Su Bi went to the edge of the cliff to check, and it really proved the saying: a cliff of ten thousand feet! There is no way to get down.
He held Ah Xi's sword, looked at Qin Nian and said softly: "Let's go too, find a place to go down and find Uncle Shi's--"
The following words were not spoken.
Both of them felt very heavy-hearted and believed that Lin Tiancheng must be dead.
He silently mounted his horse and galloped forward along the winding mountain road.
On the way, the two men rested for a while, drank some water, let the horses nibble on the grass by the mountain for a while, and then continued on their way.
It was almost dusk when they finished walking along the winding mountain path.
As the sun was about to set, the mountain road became slower and we could walk into the valley. Su Bi looked at Qin Nian:
"The forest is very dangerous at night. Let's rest here for one night and go inside tomorrow morning."
In fact, they were walking from the highest point of the mountain to the lower part. The mountain slowly became flatter, and the cliff gradually became lower along with the mountain.
When we were about to leave the mountain, the cliff was no longer a cliff, but a slope, and we could walk down to the valley bottom along the slope.
What Su Bi and Qin Nian had to do was to go down to the bottom of the valley first, and then turn back and walk back the way they came.
The difference is that we walked on the top when we came here, but next we have to walk at the bottom of the valley to the place where Lin Tiancheng fell off the cliff.
Look for his bones at the bottom of the valley.
Qin Nian looked at Su Bi and said, "Although there is a gentle slope here and we can go down to the bottom of the valley, it is definitely not possible to lead a horse.
What shall we do with these two horses?"
Su Bi said, "We are not far from the mountain pass. Let them go. Hopefully, they will be picked up by good people."
After saying this, he picked up a branch from the ground and hit the two horses on their buttocks.
The two horses ran towards the mountain pass, and when they got out of the pass, there were people.
After sending the horse away, Su Bi looked at Qin Nian and said, “The forest is very dangerous at night.
Let's find a place to shelter from the wind, spend the night there, and then head down to the valley tomorrow morning."
The forest at night is much more dangerous than during the day, Qin Nian nodded in agreement.
The two of them found a cliff, and Su Bi got some hay and looked at Qin Nian and said:
"I have tinder and flint with me. I'll go get some firewood and we'll start a fire."
Before setting off in the morning, Qin Nian found an opportunity to fill up both water bags and bought a few steamed buns to take with him.
Qin Nian wanted to get up and collect firewood with Su Bi, but Su Bi smiled and said, "Xiao Nian, you should take a rest.
I can just pick up some by myself.”
Qin Nian didn't bother to be polite with him. He sat on the hay and rested his head against the cliff.
Su Bi didn't dare to go far. He couldn't go to a place where he couldn't see Qin Nian. It was too dangerous to leave her alone at the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, in this valley, apart from the occasional person passing by, no one comes here on weekdays.
Firewood was very easy to pick up. In a short while, he had picked up a lot. He carried them to the cliff and lit a fire.
Two people sat in front of the fire, eating leavened bread and drinking spiritual spring water.
The night gradually deepened, the stars were so sleepy that they kept blinking. The lower moon was only a crescent, like the lips of a smiling person.
After traveling for most of the day, Qin Nian was tired and sleepy, so he leaned against the cliff and fell into a deep sleep.
Su Bi didn't dare to sleep. If both of them fell asleep, it would be too dangerous if wild animals appeared.
Although animals are afraid of fire, they will attack if there is fire when they are extremely hungry.
Su Bi looked at the fire and added firewood into it.
Sit in meditation and practice qigong, and your internal energy will flow throughout your body, instantly eliminating your fatigue.
The next day, Qin Nian was awakened by the sound of birds singing. He opened his eyes and forgot where he was.
"woke up?"
Su Bi asked, his voice was a little sleepy, very magnetic and pleasant.
Qin Nian turned her head to look at him, and then she realized that she and Su Bi were under the cliff at the entrance of the valley.
She smiled embarrassedly: "Su Bi, I fell asleep and forgot to replace you. I was too sleepy.
You didn't sleep all night?"
"Asleep."
Su Bi comforted the little girl in front of him. She was as young and innocent as a bird on a treetop. It would be strange if she didn't sleep too much.
The two men got up, put out the fire, washed up briefly, and continued walking towards the bottom of the valley.
When we got down to the bottom of the valley, there was no road at all and it was very difficult to walk.
Fortunately, both of them were young and had some experience in martial arts, so they were able to walk over.
He carried the sword that Su Bi had taken from Ah Xi with him. When the thorns and weeds pricked him, he used the sword as a knife, sweeping across a few times to clear the way for Qin Nian.
The two men walked for a day. After dark, they chose a cliff, got some hay, sat on it and ate bread and drank spiritual spring water, just like they did last night.
I also collected some firewood and built a fire.
Qin Nian said, "Su Bi, you go to sleep first. Sleep for two hours and then get up and give it back to me. If I go to sleep first, I might sleep until dawn again."
Su Bi nodded, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while, and I'll take your turn later. Xiao Nian, remember to add more firewood, don't let the fire go out."
It's late at night.
The night in the mountains was not quiet, and there were many strange noises. If it were Qin Nian herself, she would definitely be scared, but fortunately Su Bi was by her side, so Qin Nian was not scared.
Look at the fire and slowly add firewood.
