Chapter 20 Chapter Eighteen

Shu Jie and Wu Jing trekked for a day in the dense valley between Jishan and Jinshan before arriving at the foot of Jinshan.The two rested for a night, and in the morning, Wu Jing's whole body was red and swollen from mosquito bites, and he was so angry that he almost set fire to the forest.The two casually ate some jerky and began to climb up the mountain.The bottom section of the hill was steep, and it was almost noon, and Wu Jing was already exhausted. If he was not eager to see if the thing was damaged, he could hardly hold on.Seeing his appearance, Shu Jie proposed to take a rest before leaving.

Wu Jing sat down and panted, Shu Jie sat next to him, took out water, the two of them drank, and then wiped some water on the exposed skin.Wu Jing saw that Shujie took out the hanging jade cicada to play with again, and said, "Your Highness likes this jade cicada very much? Is it left by His Highness's mother, His Highness Shuang?" Shu Jie was startled, and looked down, as if he didn't realize that he was holding Yu Chan in his hand.He forced a smile, stuffed Yuchan back into his arms, and said, "No, it was given by a... kid." Wu Jing wanted to ask again, but suddenly sneezed hard.He wiped his nose and said, "Oh, I'm so rude! It's the first time for me to go out of Kunlun Mountain. I didn't expect the weather in the lower world to be so different from the mountain. It's already April now. I didn't expect it to be so cold in the mountain."

Shu Jie said: "Just get used to it. Actually it's not a big deal, I like the change of seasons like this. If you don't go to see the ice field in Beiming, you don't know what it means to drop water into ice." Shu Jie likes to travel around the world, and he is the most restless among the preparatory elders. Stories about him are widely circulated among the younger generation of the Wu clan.Wu Jing knew that he had gone to Beiming alone for a promise, and together with dozens of soldiers from the state of Zhou who were trapped at the foot of Jingcheng City, blocked the surprise attack of the Yunzhong clan. Thirteen Xingcha ships, and shot and killed Huangshengfu Wuping who came to supervise the battle for many years, shaking the world.He hurriedly said: "Your Highness really has traveled extensively. I really hope to travel around the world like Your Highness, but it's a pity that your strength is weak. I don't know how Your Highness can practice such kung fu?"

Shu Jie said: "We shamans should still focus on mind control, why do we need to discard the basics and chase after the last? You are still young, you have such courage, and you will achieve something in time." Wu Jing remembered that his father was a warrior of the human race, and his body was much stronger than that of ordinary witches, so he couldn't help being discouraged, but then he thought: "If I can make a great achievement this time, I beg His Royal Highness Hao to pass on my superior spells." His Highness Jie is right, let’s make full use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, our people are different from the rest of the world?" Immediately, he was full of confidence, stood up and said: "Okay, let's continue on the road!"

Shu Jie said: "I still have some clothes in my luggage, do you want to wear them?" Wu Jing was not willing to show weakness, shook his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, I am deeply grateful. But it is not cold when you move, so don't bother Your Highness." Shu Jie discerned the terrain of the mountain, and took Wu Jing to climb up a relatively gentle slope.As we climbed, the shrubs on the mountain gradually decreased, the forest became sparse, and the trees were much taller than those at the bottom of the mountain.The sunlight cast down through the treetops one after another, illuminating the forest clearly. "The beasts have probably run away, but we still have to bite the bullet and move forward..." Wu Jing thought angrily for a while, "It's really cheaper than the lives of beasts."

He sneezed a few more times, and said angrily, "Why are you sweating all over and still feeling cold? It seems that you caught a cold at night... By the way, Your Highness, there is something that I haven't reported to you yet. " "Oh, what?" "The night before yesterday..." Wu Jing moved a little closer, and said, "Someone imposed a ban on the minister when he was sleepy." For no reason, Shu Jie flashed the drenched handsome face before his eyes, and blurted out: "Ya...is that so?" "Yes!" Wu Jing frowned and said, "It's a strong restraint, and I fell into it, but I couldn't do anything about it. Later, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, the spell had disappeared. Because I saw that His Highness had no It was an obstacle, so I forgot to report to His Highness for a while, His Highness please punish me."

Shu Jie couldn't help but look at him differently, being imprisoned in the restraint, he was still asleep.It seems that it is not unreasonable for him to join the Bayu Division at a young age.He paused for a moment, then said: "Actually, I was the one who imposed the restriction the night before, because I had something very important to do at that time, so I sealed off a one mile radius, and accidentally included you in it. Are you not injured? " Wu Jing immediately stood up straight, patted his chest hard, and said: "Nothing happened! It turned out that His Highness did it. I said, there is such a strong restriction, and I have never seen it before. Ah... ah... ..." He rubbed his nose desperately, but he still couldn't bear it anymore. He sneezed twice and couldn't stop apologizing: "Young minister is really useless. I've been sick from the cold for such a night..."

Shu Jie said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid your body is not sick, but really cold. Look at the tree on the top of the mountain." Wu Jing looked up, and saw the trees on the top of the mountain in the distance, and the leaves had completely withered for some reason.The turbulent wind on the top of the mountain blows the withered and yellow leaves all over the sky. From a distance, it seems that countless withered leaf butterflies are flying around the mountain.Strange, the rest of the mountain is still green, why does this mountain seem to have entered winter? Wu Jing thought for a while, and suddenly blurted out: "Ah, the nine-headed lion eagle is just over the mountain!"

He suddenly covered his mouth, but Shujie had already said: "Nine-headed lion eagle? Did you see it? Did you see it in the eye of the storm? What are you doing here?" Wu Jing bent down to salute, and said respectfully: "Your minister is ordered to go to Ba Kingdom..." Shu Jie said coldly: "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you either. Many of the actions of Yayu Division are not righteous. When you get to the top and see something strange, you'd better think about how to explain it to me. Let's go." .”
