Chapter 50: The Thundering Wasteland
It is said that after Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong left Fenglin Mountain, they continued to go towards the Thundering Wasteland, and after more than ten days of arduous trekking, the two finally stepped into the scope of the Thundering Wasteland. The two of them walked on the crowded avenue, with surprised expressions on their faces, Lu Yunfei said: "I thought the Thundering Wasteland was a desolate place that was inaccessible, but I didn't expect it to be so lively." ”
Cheng Qinghong said: "I'm also puzzled, how can this place be named when it is obviously a thriving place." ”
The two walked on the avenue for a long time, and found that most of the convoys transporting minerals along the way were convoys transporting minerals, Lu Yunfei said: "I guess it should be because of the abundance of minerals here, so it has gathered so much popularity." ”
Cheng Qinghong nodded and said, "Senior brother has a point. ”。
The two walked forward for a while, and suddenly a small town of considerable scale came into view, Cheng Qinghong said happily: "Senior brother, look, there is a town in front, let's just go find an inn to rest." ”
Lu Yunfei was already tired from running around for days, and he said with a happy expression: "Great, it's time to find an inn to stay and have a good rest." As he spoke, he and Cheng Qinghong strode towards the town.
The two of them found a spacious inn on the bustling street in the town, and as soon as they entered, a shopkeeper hurriedly ran over and greeted each other with a smile: "Two guest officers, do you live in the hotel?"
Lu Yunfei said: "We want two good wings, and then prepare some delicious wine and food." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Okay, the two guest officers will wait a while, and the little one will do it immediately." He said and retreated.
The two quickly settled down, and after a while, a table of beautiful, fragrant, and mouth-watering wine and dishes appeared on the table, and Lu Yunfei said while eating: "Senior sister, how does the food taste?"
Cheng Qinghong said: "I haven't eaten a steaming meal for half a month, can it be delicious?"
Lu Yunfei took a sip of wine and said, "This wine is not bad, it is really good wine." ”
Cheng Qinghong said: "Senior brother, this time the old Qiu seniors summoned fellow martial artists to go to the Thundering Wasteland to eradicate Tian Qian, why didn't the disciples of the Jiuxianmen appear?"
Lu Yunfei joked: "It can't be that old guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death and doesn't dare to come, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Wanli's hearty voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Who is talking bad about the old man?" As he spoke, his tall figure flashed in, and an old man dressed as a monk came in with him.
Lu Yunfei hurriedly got up and said: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, Lu just made an offensive remark, and I ask the head of Qiu to forgive me." ”
Qiu Wanli said with a smile: "Elder Lu is too worried, how can Qiu be such a small person?"
Lu Yunfei said: "Master Qiu is magnanimous, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it, it is Lu who is too worried." ”
Qiu Wanli said: "Let me introduce, this is the master of Xuanjing Temple," he said, and stretched out his hand to the old monk beside him
Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong were shocked, and said solemnly: "It turned out to be Master Ethereal, and the juniors are polite." As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Master Kongmiao, and Master Kongmiao folded his hands and said: "The two donors are serious, and the old man has seen the two donors. ”。
The four of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lu Yunfei said: "Master Qiu summoned fellow martial artists to eradicate Tian Qian this time, I wonder if I can find out the whereabouts of this thief?"
Qiu Wanli said: "According to reliable sources, Tian Qian, the thief, has been recruiting troops in the Thundering Wasteland in recent years, and there are many strong hands under him, this gang of thieves is entrenched in the cold mountain three hundred miles away, this mountain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
Lu Yunfei exclaimed: "In this way, it will take a lot of hard work to eradicate Tian Qian, the evil thief. ”
Qiu Wanli said: "This time, Master Kongmiao and I summoned fellow martial artists to go to the Thundering Wasteland, the purpose is to wipe out Tian Qian, the thief, and his accomplices to prevent future troubles, so this operation must be carefully deployed to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "Master Qiu is reasonable, I don't know what Master Qiu's plan is?"
Qiu Wanli said: "After this town, we will enter the sphere of influence of Tian Qian, the thief, we must not leak a trace of rumors in this operation, and there are a large number of martial arts colleagues participating in this operation, in order not to attract people's eyes, we had better act in batches after dressing up." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "Master Qiu is thoughtful, I don't know what Master Qiu wants from me and Senior Sister Cheng?"
Qiu Wanli said: "Elder Lu and Cheng Nuxia are willing to come to help Qiu Mou this time, I am grateful, a few days ago, I have sent my disciples to the vicinity of the Cold Cliff Mountain to inquire about the news, you and Cheng Nuxia may as well enter the Thundering Wasteland first, and I will meet with the two of you after arranging relevant matters with Master Kongmiao." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the Qiu master. The four of them continued to talk about the details of the operation, and when they were full of wine and food, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong stayed in the town for two days, and after recuperating their spirits, they continued to walk towards the depths of the Thundering Wasteland.
After a few more days, the two came to a continuous group of mountains full of bare stones as far as they could see, and as they walked, suddenly a sound of metal crashing accompanied by a noisy human voice came from behind the mountain in front of them, and the two of them approached to take a look, and saw that a group of twenty warriors with whips in their hands were supervising a group of hundreds of coolies mining on the steep mountain, these coolies were all ragged and sweaty, and they waved their heavy pouts in their hands and struggled to dig on the hard rocks.
At this time, it was the scorching sun at noon, and an old man in his fifties among the coolies was already sweating like rain after waving his head dozens of times in a row, he stopped and wiped the sweat on his face and said pitifully to a warrior who was overseering the work beside him: "Master Jun, it's good, give me some water to drink." ”
The warrior who oversaw the work was furious, and he waved the leather whip in his hand and slapped it on the old coolie's body and said, "Old immortal, you still want to drink water and continue to work for the master, otherwise the master will whip you to death." ”
The old coolie cried bitterly and said, "Don't fight, the little one doesn't want to drink water." He continued to bury his head in his work.
Lu Yunfei, who saw it in his eyes, was indignant and said: "How can this be reasonable, how can these thieves treat an old man so brutally, senior sister go, let's go over and take a look." Saying that, he and Cheng Qinghong walked over quickly.
Lu Yunfei said solemnly to the warrior who had just beaten someone: "Who are you, why do you treat an old man so brutally?"
The beating warrior said with an arrogant face: "Lao Tzu is a member of the Crazy Dragon Sect of the Cold Cliff Mountain, and if you are sensible, please get out of here, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." ”
Lu Yunfei snorted coldly: "I'm afraid you don't have the ability." Saying that, the true qi in his body instantly urged, and at the same time, his right hand grabbed the neck of the beating warrior with lightning speed, and the beating warrior lost his breath before he could snort, and collapsed to the ground like a dead dog.
Seeing the tragic death of their companions, the other overseers pulled out their weapons and pounced towards Lu Yunfei, Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong had already prepared, and their bodies flew into the air violently and slapped several palms at the overseers who rushed up one after another, only to see that a series of fierce qi accurately hit the overseer, and after a miserable scream, the overseers and warriors were all knocked to the ground and vomited blood to death.
Hundreds of coolies saw that Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong had eliminated a group of overseers with three strokes and five divisions, and they all knelt on the ground and said with tears in their eyes: "Thank you for saving me." ”
Lu Yunfei hurriedly said: "Please hurry up, Lu can't stand it." As he spoke, he quickly helped up several coolies beside him, and the old coolie who had just been beaten held Lu Yunfei's hand and said excitedly: "Hero, thank you so much for eliminating this group of thieves, otherwise my old bones will be broken in their hands sooner or later." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "Old man, you don't have to be polite, were you all forcibly caught here by this gang of thieves to work as coolies?"
The old man said: "The hero guessed right, we were originally farmers in this area, three years ago, many spirit crystal mines were found in this area, so the gang of thieves in the cold cliff mountain forcibly arrested us to mine for them, these thieves have no humanity, and they beat us with whips if they are slightly dissatisfied, and hundreds of people have died in their hands in the past three years." After speaking, I couldn't help but cry.
Lu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, don't worry, this gang of thieves won't live long, you better run for your lives first." ”
The coolies thanked Lu Yunfei and the two of them again before leaving the mine and fleeing for their lives.
Cheng Qinghong said with a little worry: "Senior Brother Lu, this time we killed this gang of thieves from the Crazy Dragon Sect, will we startle the snake and alarm Tian Qian's demon?"
Lu Yunfei said: "The matter has come to this point, if Tian Qian is alarmed, it can only be said that it is the will of heaven, we can't just watch those ordinary people being bullied by the thieves just now and be indifferent." ”
Cheng Qinghong said: "Senior Brother Lu is reasonable, I think Tian Qian's demon should not think that this is a secret operation against him just because a few of his subordinates died." Lu Yunfei said: "I hope so, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's continue to hurry." As he spoke, he walked forward.
The fact that the disciples of the Madness Dragon Sect guarding the Spirit Crystal Mine were all wiped out by Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong did not alarm Tian Qian, but it shocked Wu Xuanyu, the head of the Madness Dragon Sect branch stationed not far away, as one of Tian Qian's four protectors, into a cold sweat, and at this time he was sitting in the big tent and said violently: "Have you seen clearly, who dares to go against my Madness Dragon Sect?"
One subordinate said tremblingly: "Qi Yu Wu Protector, my subordinates saw a man and a woman kill all the eighteen overseer brothers in just a few moves, and they don't look like people from this area from their dress. ”
Wu Xuanyu said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui Ye, immediately gather the brothers to meet these two with me." ”
The subordinate said respectfully: "Yes, Wu Protector, I will go and gather people immediately." He said and retreated.
Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong continued to walk through the desolate mountains, and suddenly faced a burst of dust, and then a group of horses with hundreds of people roared towards the two, these horses were the disciples of the Crazy Dragon Sect who Wu Xuanyu led to take revenge.
Wu Xuanyu commanded a group of disciples to surround Lu Yunfei and Cheng Qinghong and said sharply: "Who are you who dare to go to the land of my Crazy Dragon Sect to spread wild?"
Lu Yunfei said coldly: "You Crazy Dragon Sect are acting nonsense for the people of fish and meat, and I killed you to do the right thing for heaven." ”
Wu Xuanyu didn't expect Lu Yunfei to take the Crazy Dragon Sect so seriously, and said angrily: "What a way to do for the sky, I want to see what you have to dare to speak wildly." Saying that, he pulled out a big knife with a cold light from behind him, he shouted angrily, and his body flew out like a big bird and pounced towards Lu Yunfei, Lu Yunfei was not to be outdone, and pulled out the double hammer on his back to meet it, Wu Xuanyu was in the middle of the air but the big knife was as fast as lightning and instantly attacked more than a dozen moves, looking at the cold light that was more than enough to slash his head, Lu Yunfei did not dare to slack off, and the double gong in his hand swung out a violent aura several feet high to meet it, and after a rumbling loud sound, Wu Xuanyu's attack was easily defused by Lu Yunfei.
Lu Yunfei shouted angrily: "Dog thief, let you see how powerful Lu is." Saying that, the double hammer was quickly put back behind his back, and then his body rose into the air, and at the same time, a bolt of lightning as thick as a hemp rope between his palms slashed towards Wu Xuanyu's head at a very fast speed, Wu Xuanyu was horrified, and hurriedly raised the big knife in his hand to resist, "dang" After a crisp sound, the big knife in Wu Xuanyu's hand was struck by lightning and split into pieces on the spot, and then there was a sharp pain in his arm, he looked at Lu Yunfei with horror in his eyes and said, "Who are you?"
Lu Yunfei sneered: "The person who sent you to report to the Ghost Gate." Saying that, the true qi in his body urged with all his strength again, and at the same time, his palms slowly raised, ready to launch a fatal blow to Wu Xuanyu, Wu Xuanyu was shocked, and he shouted angrily: "Little ones, give it to me." But he unfolded his body and turned around and fled in a hurry, looking at the swarming Crazy Dragon Sect disciples, Cheng Qinghongjiao shouted: "Senior Brother Lu, don't let that thief escape, I'll deal with these little minions." As he spoke, he drew the long sword in his hand and met it.
Lu Yunfei nodded and shouted, "Where to run." Saying that, his body rose to the sky, and after stepping on the top of the heads of a group of Crazy Dragon Sect disciples, he chased after Wu Xuanyu, Lu Yunfei's strength unleashed, and he chased after Wu Xuanyu after a few steps in the air, and he shouted angrily: "Suffer death." Saying that, a violent gang qi several feet high was shot out between his palms and blasted towards Wu Xuanyu's back, Wu Xuanyu felt the surging attack behind him, his heart was horrified, and he hurriedly used all his strength to resist, only to see his palms wildly wave out a strong gang qi to meet it, a deafening roar came, Wu Xuanyu's body was hit by a huge energy and flew into the air, and at the same time he felt that the internal organs in his body seemed to be shattered, and a huge pain came, and he fell to the ground after spurting out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
After a while, Cheng Qinghong, who had finished dealing with a group of Crazy Dragon Sect minions, rushed over and said, "Senior Brother Lu, I have all wiped out all those little minions. ”
Lu Yunfei said: "Okay, these thieves are innocent, let's go on our way." As he spoke, he and Cheng Qinghong walked towards the direction of the cold cliff mountain of the Crazy Dragon Sect's old nest.
