Volume 2: Memories of Yonghui (Part 1) Chapter 4: Chenxiang's unstoppable force
When Yao Ji was feeling so angry that her teeth were itching, she was suddenly stunned. She saw the young man in blue clothes named Mo Yi staring at her head with an evil smile, and suddenly appeared in front of her like a ghost. With a light wave of his right hand, Yao Ji's long hair like a waterfall fell down without any warning.
That was the headband that had just been pulled out from Yao Ji's simply tied hair.
"What are you doing!" Yao Ji frowned and shouted angrily!
"Shh!" The other party made a gesture of silence with his index finger, with an expression that said you will know it soon.
That expression made Yao Ji even more nervous. She felt that if she stayed with this man, he would kill her sooner or later, because this man always had unexpected things in his mind.
For example, when Yao Ji was angry at the other party for making her hair disheveled and wanted to reach out to snatch back her hairband, this boy made another surprising move.
He nimbly grabbed Yao Ji's right hand that was stretched out to grab the hairband, and moved to Yao Ji's side. He quickly wrapped his left wrist and Yao Ji's right wrist tightly with the hairband, tied them together, and tied a tight knot!
The word "discussion" seems to have no existence in his mind. He always does things as he pleases, without considering other people's feelings at all.
"Look, now we are tied together, we shouldn't get lost, right?" He pursed his lips slightly, looked at their tied wrists with satisfaction, and said this shamelessly to Yao Ji, who had a look of surprise on her face.
"You, you...you couldn't have hurt your head when you jumped off the cliff earlier!" After a long while, the stunned Yao Ji reacted. She was amused by his slightly childish behavior and even forgot that she was furious just now. She teased him unconsciously.
Mo Yi did not respond, but just raised his sword-like eyebrows, pursed his thin lips, and looked calm and composed, with an expression that said he would not bother with you.
Yao Ji stared at the two wrists that were tied tightly together, and suddenly she felt a strange feeling in her heart. It was an unprecedented feeling. How to describe it? There was a little shyness, a little sweetness, and a little helplessness.
This was a strange feeling that Yao Ji, a young girl who had been practicing in seclusion in Shamo City for sixteen years, had never experienced before.
However, the girl's feelings were abruptly interrupted before she could fully unfold them.
There was no wind, but there was an unexpected rustling sound in the bamboo forest.
Yao Ji and Mo Yi sensed something strange in the bamboo forest at the same time. Their eyes met and they immediately responded with alertness in tacit understanding.
In Mo Yi's hand, the cold iron short blade that he had seen before was already unsheathed, and it looked cold and sharp, as if it was looking for a target in the bamboo forest.
Yao Ji muttered a bunch of spells, and around her and Mo Yi, a golden wave of light appeared and disappeared like ripples on water...
Then, a flute sound, like crying, like complaining, with a chill, like smoke, drifted strangely from the forest.
At first it is low and slow, like seedlings in early spring that have not yet sprouted, waiting for the arrival of the spring breeze. Gradually, waves of vibrato appear in the melody, like a pool of spring water rippled by the east wind, and the rhythm of the flute music also becomes unrestrained.
Every hair on Mo Yi and Yao Ji's body seemed to tremble with the waves of vibrations!
The sound of the flute blowing into their ears seemed to penetrate directly into their hearts, causing resonances one after another. Their bodies seemed to gradually lose control of themselves. Mo Yi felt his eyelids closing little by little, as if he wanted to fall into a deep sleep...
"It's the 'Magic Flute'! Don't fall asleep! Quick! Regulate your breathing! Concentrate! Meditate!" Yao Ji suddenly shouted in a loud voice and issued a series of instructions to Mo Yi!
This exclamation brought Mo Yi's mind, which was almost lost, back to normal in an instant.
Mo Yi quickly collected his thoughts and followed his instructions. He saw Yao Ji's left hand approaching the air, and her deft fingertips hooked, flicked, flicked, and pushed...
The circle of golden ripples that had just been laid out around Mo Yi and Yao Ji, now began to jump as if they had life as Yao Ji's fingertips moved, and it also made bursts of clear and pleasant sounds, the sound was like pearls falling to the ground, or like the sound of dripping rain.
Then the ripples jumped higher and higher, and the sound of the pearls falling to the ground became more and more cheerful, and soon the ripples gathered into a circle of thick golden light.
break!
The golden beam of light spread out in all directions with unstoppable force, like a violent gust of wind sweeping the earth, or like a torrential rain pouring down, dripping and clattering... and the sound of the magic flute was drowned out invisibly.
After a moment, everything was silent. The strange sound of the magic flute disappeared. The bamboo forest was so quiet as if nothing had happened. Yao Ji and Mo Yi could even hear each other's breathing.
Suddenly, the bamboo forest around them began to spin strangely, with a rustling sound, gradually surrounding Mo Yi and Yao Ji in the center. Mo Yi tried several times to find a breakthrough, but found that the encirclement made of bamboo was like a solid wall, without any flaws at all!
The bamboo forest was spinning faster and faster, making Mo Yi and Yao Ji a little dizzy. Gradually, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the momentum became louder and louder. It seemed that the two of them were about to be swallowed up by the bamboo forest like a drop in the ocean...
Suddenly, Mo Yi seemed to have realized something. He clasped Yao Ji's hand tightly with his left hand, gathered his energy and pulled Yao Ji towards the gradually shrinking vortex of the bamboo forest!
Yao Ji was frightened by his sudden risky move and her face turned pale. She didn't even have time to scream. She saw Mo Yi shook his right wrist, and the cold iron short blade in his hand, which was shining with white light, had already slashed through the air. A crescent-shaped white blade light swept across like a jade belt around the waist. She heard a terrifying rustling sound, and when she looked closely, she found that Mo Yi had already cut a path through the intimidating bamboo forest formation!
What a domineering and powerful sword energy! Yao Ji looked at the bamboo forest that had trapped her just now. It had stopped spinning and was left in ruins behind her! She took another look and found that half of the branches and leaves of the bamboo forest had been split in half by Mo Yi. At this time, it was like a strong wind passing through, and the ruins were spread all over the ground.
"Ha, my guess was right. When faced with this seemingly impeccable offensive , we have no choice but to charge head-on!" Mo Yi showed off his cleverness with some pride.
At this moment, Yao Ji looked at Mo Yi with a different look in her eyes. She was probably feeling lucky in her heart that she was able to get together with such a strong man!
With this person guarding by my side, it seems that I can calm down and carefully study the mystery of this bamboo forest formation.
Although they had broken two rounds of attacks in succession, they were still surrounded by dangers. They didn't know when, where and how the next round of attacks would be launched. It was not a solution to just fight back. Who knew how many traps Zhuo Ao had set up in the formation? If they continued like this, it wouldn't be long before Mo Yi and he would be exhausted. They had to find a way to break out of the formation.
Yao Ji's face turned stern, and she said to Mo Yi solemnly, "You protect the Dharma, and I will break the formation. Is that ok?"
Mo Yi shook his head and smiled knowingly, curling his thin lips, thinking that this is what I've been waiting for.
Although Yao Ji was not as proficient as her senior brother Wu Su in esoteric arts such as the Bagua formation, for the wizards of the Shamo tribe, these were compulsory skills, as natural as eating and sleeping, and they were instincts ingrained in their bones.
Even if we look at all the people participating in the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition, in terms of the ability of mysterious arts, it is estimated that few can compete with Yao Ji.
To some extent, Mo Yi did have a sharp eye and could see through Yao Ji's abilities at a glance.
Yao Ji gathered her mind and took out a few bamboo sticks from her bosom. She pointed her left hand in the air, and the bamboo sticks began to spin slowly like a revolving lantern. At this time, Yao Ji could be heard mumbling something, pinching the heart-searching technique with her right hand and pointing to the sky with her left hand. Various spells and words began to flow faintly on the spinning bamboo sticks. Yao Ji herself closed her eyes and fell into meditation...
Mo Yi knew that she needed some time to figure out the mystery of the bamboo forest formation, so he stood by silently, with a sharp blade in his hand and a burning gaze.
He alertly watched for unusual movements around him. Since the other party had already immersed himself in deep thought, he must have entrusted his life and death to him. Such complete trust made Mo Yi feel a little uncomfortable.
In fact, Yao Ji's thoughts are very simple. From the moment he abducted her into the formation, the two of them are like grasshoppers on the same boat. They prosper together and suffer together!
To Yao Ji, who had a simpler mind, only an idiot would do something that would harm others and not benefit herself. Mo Yi was obviously not an idiot, so she was too lazy to suspect him anymore.
However, for Mo Yi, such trust from a so-called companion with whom he could confide in each other was incredible.
Don't trust anyone easily.
Therefore, Mo Yi, who grew up under such teachings, would not fully trust anyone, including his father himself, let alone a woman he had only known for half a day.
Mo Yi tilted his head to glance at Yao Ji's thoughtful expression and shook his head in disbelief.
Suddenly, Mo Yi's face darkened. His extraordinary hearing noticed the sound of footsteps rushing towards him in the distance. The footsteps were heavy and light, mixed with the hissing sound of rubbing against grass leaves. They came from far away and seemed to be coming towards them!
300 steps! 250 steps! 200 steps!
So fast! Mo Yi calculated the opponent's speed and judged his strength in his heart. A trace of cold sweat slid down his temples. The opponent's strength was not inferior to his. Moreover, the most important thing was that there were two of them!
Mo Yi looked at Yao Ji beside him, only to see that Yao Ji's brows were tightly furrowed, still lost in deep thought. Thousands of words were flowing on the bamboo stick that was still spinning, but she seemed to have not found a way to break the formation yet.
It was definitely not a wise choice to interrupt her or even touch her at this moment. Mo Yi immediately dismissed the thought of taking shelter that had just flashed through his mind.
However, Mo Yi had no idea who this person was or what his purpose was. He just smelled a hint of something ominous from the sound of footsteps that sounded full of spiritual power and the condensed air around him.
Thinking of Yao Ji's trust just now, Mo Yi smiled self-deprecatingly. Even if a ferocious beast came, he would have no choice but to fight back.
Before Mo Yi even had time to think about it, two figures had already landed in front of him.
Mo Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw the appearance of the person who came.
Are these two here to make people laugh?
The guy on the left had no idea where the fat on his face was growing, squeezing his eyes so much that they were reduced to a pitiful slit. Mo Yi even wondered if he needed to lift the fat on his eyelids to see clearly in front of him.
And his short and fat body, which is almost spherical, really makes it difficult for him to walk so fast with such a clumsy body!
What’s even more rare is that he can control the sound of his footsteps so gently.
The slightly heavy footsteps I heard just now should be his, but the voice sounded no different from that of a normal man.
The other one is even more interesting.
He was obviously a big, strong man with a beard , but he dressed like a little woman. Well, leaving aside his slightly raised orchid fingers and his extremely tacky palace dress, just the head decorated with flowers and jade hairpins was enough to make Mo Yi feel cold.
Mo Yi couldn't believe that the footsteps that were so soft that he mistook them for a woman's were actually coming from this big, strong man in front of him... No, a woman? No, half-human, half-demon, Mo Yi finally determined the other person's identity in his heart.
What is going on? The moment he saw the two people coming, Mo Yi felt his nerves twitch briefly.
Somewhat happy.
Could it be that the other party was not coming for him? Mo Yi's nerves did not relax because of this.
He never trusts anyone easily, especially strangers. Especially at such a time when everyone is on the alert, he will not allow himself to be doubted by superficial appearances.
Mo Yi calmly tried to read something from the other party's changing expression, but the right hand holding the cold iron short blade had quietly changed into a decisive and mysterious grip...
If the opponent made any unusual movement at this moment, Mo Yi would definitely kill him with the cold iron short blade in the first place!
No one knew that at this moment, Mo Yi had already quietly developed murderous intentions!
