The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 337 320 Six people trapped in a thin line of sky ([-])
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's better not to kill them until it is absolutely necessary!
Let's think of another way after a while.

Hey, Brother Tieniu, we have also practiced for such a long time in this desperate situation, have your kung fu improved? "

"Progress? I really haven't discovered this, who knows about this!

However, let's try it in a while, don't we know?
Anyway, the two of us have nothing to do now, let's make a fire and let's roast some wild geese to eat, don't we know after we try it? "

"Well, that's fine!"

The two found some dry branches, lit a fire, and grilled a dozen wild geese on the fire. Half an hour later, a strong fragrance wafted out of the whole valley.

The two ate another wild goose each, and finally they were full again.

The two took the roasted geese back into the cave.

Then Tieniu said with a smile: "It's been such a long time, in order to save rations, we only practiced internal strength in this cave, and we don't know what it looks like now.

Isn't there nothing wrong now, why don't we just run around in this ravine to know if our internal strength has improved! "

"Well, that's fine! We've been cultivating in this place for such a long time, so it's really time to give it a try.

Let's go, take our guys, let's run outside. "

The two came out of the cave, and immediately ran west along the bottom of the ditch. When they reached the snowdrift, the two turned their heads and saw a row of shallow footprints on the snow behind Tie Niu.

But nothing can be found behind Duan Wuji.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Why, brother, have you really practiced the kung fu of stepping on the snow without a trace?"

Duan Wuji shook his head with a smile.

"I don't know much about this, who knows!

However, even if I have practiced it now, I think this is also the preliminary technique of Treading Wuhen, and it is still far from the highest state.

Brother Tie Niu, look at the footprints behind you, isn't it just a shallow row, I'm afraid it's only one step away from the upright realm of stepping on the snow without a trace.

Brother Tieniu, you have to hurry up and work hard! "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"I know, I know, I will definitely work hard to achieve the realm in front of you as soon as possible.

Brother, there is nothing wrong now, let's hurry back to the cave to practice. "

The two turned around and walked straight out of the cave where they lived.

After entering the cave, the two of them never came out again. The two of them practiced intensively day and night. One month later, the two of them walked out of the cave again.

Looking into the ravine, I saw that the snow in the ravine had already melted!The ditch was muddy.

The new grass on the ground has already begun to sprout tender shoots, but the withered grass in the ditch has already been eaten by the four livestock, and now it has entered the season of no grass.

In desperation, Duan Wuji had no choice but to open the feed bag, and poured half the bag of feed at the entrance of the cave. Several livestock wagged their tails and gnawed, preparing to face the most difficult years.

The food in the cave has been eaten by the two people, but it is almost over, and it is time for the two people to get angry again.

The snow water flowing down from the snowdrifts on both sides flows in the ditch, nourishing the weeds in the ditch.

Duan Wuji looked at everything in the ditch worriedly, not knowing what to do next.

Tieniu looked at all this in the ditch and didn't know what to do for a while.

The animals ate the fodder and rested near the entrance of the cave. The two of them had nothing to do, so they had to go to the ravine to look around.

The two walked to the side of the snowdrift that had slid down, looking at the snowdrift blocking the road, they didn't know how long it would take for it to melt.

Suddenly, Tie Niu pointed to a palm-sized piece of animal skin exposed on the snowdrift and said, "Brother, what is that? Why is there such a thing on this snowdrift?"

Duan Wuji looked along Tie Niu's fingers, and saw that there was indeed such a piece of yellow animal skin at the height of the snowdrift.

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "How about I go up and have a look?"

"Ah? How can you go up such a high snow! Aren't you afraid of falling into the snow? Once you fall into the snowdrift, will you survive?"

"It's okay, Brother Tieniu, who knows if you forgot? Have I already practiced the ability to step on the snow without a trace?
Such a little snow, I believe it can't help me. "

"Brother, you have to be more careful!"

Duan Wuji retreated more than ten zhang, then ran up to the front of the snow, Duan Wuji jumped onto the snowdrift with a volley leap.

Duan Wuji stretched out his hand to grab the piece of animal skin and pulled it down violently, and quickly jumped off the snowdrift.

The snowdrift quickly collapsed, and the snowflakes splashed were as high as two feet.

Duan Wuji retreated seven or eight zhang, barely avoiding the fate of being buried by the snow that slipped down.

But the piece of animal hair was pulled out of the snowdrift by Duan Wuji,
This thing rolled down with the snow to the edge where there was less snow.

Tie Niu ran over and saw that it was a gazelle that had frozen to death.

Tieniu was overjoyed to see him.

"Brother, the fast animal skin just now turned out to be a piece of gazelle skin, isn't it pulled out by you now?
Hey, this gazelle is not too small, it probably weighs sixty or seventy catties.

Well, now we can have a few full meals again, and there should be no problem if we persist for another ten or eight days. "

Tie Niu pulled the gazelle out and walked straight to the entrance of the cave.

Tie Niu picked some dry branches and lit it on fire. Then, Tie Niu roasted the gazelle. An hour later, the smell of roasted lamb wafted in the valley.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Since the snowdrift is about to melt, I think that there is only this gazelle in these two snowdrifts.

As the ice and snow melt, I believe they will all be exposed one after another, so that we will have something to eat. "

"Really? That's great. As long as the food problem is solved, we can take care of other problems.

Hey, brother, let's eat as much as we want today, we haven't eaten enough for many days. "

"Well, since that's the case, let's eat more."

The two ate a lot, and when they were full, there was only half of the whole sheep left.

Iron Bull put the remaining half sheep into the hole.

Then, he said with a smile: "Finally, we have something to look forward to. We can go out after the ice and snow have completely melted. We have been trapped in this ghost place for several months.

Hey, still thinking about going home early for the New Year?This is really haste makes waste!

Brother, let's go, we are full now, let's go into the cave to practice.

well!It is also rare to have such a long training time! "

After finishing speaking, the two turned around and entered the cave. After entering the cave, the two of them did not come out again for seven or eight days. After eating all the food in the cave, it was half a month later.

The two went outside to have a look, ho!The bottom of this ditch is full of water, the entire small valley is almost converging into a river, and the entire valley is filled with cold snow water that is not as deep as your feet.

The green grass on a little higher place has grown more than two inches high, and the whole valley is showing a thriving scene again.

The huge snowdrifts on the mountain pass are dripping with snow water, and the height of the snowdrifts has dropped by four or five feet at some point.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "The weather should be warmer now, I think the blocked ice and snow will melt soon.

Brother Tieniu, let's go, let's go to the snowdrift and look for it, see if there are any dead animals buried by the ice and snow? "

Saying that, Duan Wuji took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and jumped into the icy water first.

When Tie Niu saw it, he quickly took off his shoes like Duan Wuji, left the shoes in the cave, and followed Duan Wuji straight to the snowdrift in the east.

When I got to this place, I saw it, ho!Not bad, the two found the bodies of five gazelles.

The two moved the bodies of the five yellow cattle to the entrance of the cave, and then they got some dry pine branches, dragged over two yellow sheep and roasted them.

Not too long, the yellow mutton was roasted again, and the two of them had another full meal.

After he was full, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, I think we've finished eating these five yellow halves, and it's time for us to go home."

"That's right! That's great, I don't want to stay in this ghostly place for a day, but I just can't help it!"

"If there's no way, why do you still choose this path? It's all over now, and we've been vacant in this place for several months."

Tie Niu grinned.

"Who knew it was like this! If I had known this was the result, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't go this way!

well!It is useless to say these things, but fortunately we survived the catastrophe, this is the luck of misfortune!

Brother, don't talk about these useless things.Let's go into the cave and practice quickly!In another ten and a half months, I think it's time for us to leave. "

At this moment, several animals ran to the entrance of the cave again.

Duan Wuji also knew that these animals came here to beg for food.

Duan Wuji picked up the only bag of feed and poured it on a higher place at the entrance of the cave for them, then turned around and went back into the cave.
