The Jieshi Mountains are extensive, and many brown rocks are exposed in the mountains.

The sun is rising, the roadside is sparsely populated with trees, and there are pedestrians on the mountain road.

A good-looking young man in an elegant robe carried a long sword on his back and walked along the sun-drenched mountain path.

From time to time, I take a look at the surrounding scene.

The trail is lined with large black-brown stones, with the occasional shrub growing along the roadside.

The young man looked at the bushes that grew beside the roadside, and underneath them were a mess of gravel, and there was no flat ground.

The young man stopped and looked for a moment, but he couldn't get off his feet in the somewhat shady place, shook his head, looked up at the sky again, and walked forward along the mountain path again.

A little sweat oozed from the heat on his face, and the young man touched the elegant robe he was wearing, which was not thick, only a coat and an undershirt.

Under the mountain road now illuminated by the scorching sun, this not thick clothes still let the heat stay on the body.

The young man looked at a few pedestrians not far ahead, it was a few quacks, dressed in ordinary coarse linen clothes with swords, and at this moment those people had already taken off their upper clothes and put them on their shoulders, looking much cooler.

The men chatted as they hurried.

When I turned around, I saw not far behind me, and there were already a lot of sweaty young people on their faces.

They turned back and smiled at each other.

The young man saw the dress of several people in front of him, a little envious, several times put his hand to the button on the side of the shirt, hesitated to put it down, endured the scorching sun, licked the slightly chapped lips, and continued to bury his head in a hurry.

"Tread, tread, tread. ”

The sound of a horse-drawn carriage walking could be heard not far behind.

The young man looked back.

A four-wheeled and two-horse vehicle approached from behind, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

There was a middle-aged coachman in the carriage, holding the reins in one hand and a whip in the other, sitting restlessly, leaning on the carriage, shaded by the roof above.

The doors of the carriage were closed, and the windows were covered by thick curtains, so that it was impossible to see what was inside.

Four or five horsemen followed the carriage behind the carriage, all of whom were men of Kong Wu, and they also carried blades.

The young man hesitated, reached out and touched the sweat oozing from his head, gritted his teeth, and stood in the middle of the road without getting out of the way.

He bowed his hand to the carriage that was approaching.

A little embarrassed to the man in the carriage: "This big brother, the weather is hot, can you let it be convenient for Xiaosheng to take a while." ”

The middle-aged coachman in the carriage straightened up, looked at the young man blocking the road in front of him, and saw the young scribe's dress, and sweat was still dripping from his face.

The coachman looked up at the sky, and then looked at the few men in front of him who had stopped their way and looked back at the people in front of him, and frowned.

Xiang said to the young man: "This son, there are female dependents in the car, it is really inconvenient, please let the son let me." ”

Several men in a hurry not far in front of them smiled at each other when they saw the situation here.

One of them shouted to the young man: "Little brother, the carriage of the big family is not so easy to ride, it is better to hurry up, find a place to rest early, it is too much." ”

Two knights at the back of the carriage patted their horses and walked up to the front.

One of them glanced at the long sword that the young man was carrying behind his back, his hand on his blade, and did not speak.

The sharp light in his eyes was already very obvious.

"What's wrong?"

At this time, a crisp sound came from the car.

The coachman hurriedly turned around and said to the person who heard the voice in the car: "Miss Lian'er, there is a scholar blocking the road to take a ride." The villain is letting him go. ”

"Oh, hurry up. ”

The sound in the car did not change, and no emotion could be heard.

The young man in front of the car looked a little embarrassed.

He looked at the coachman in the carriage, and then at the two strong knights who were staring at the carriage.

The coachman arched his hand and said, "Excuse me, Xiaosheng will give way." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly moved to the side of the road.

The coachman watched the young scholar move to the side of the road, glanced at the Jianghu guests in front of him, and saw that those people had no intention of coming this way, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pulling the reins, the two horses pulling the cart stepped forward with their hooves.

The men in front of them looked at the scene, smiled at each other, turned around and continued to walk forward.

The two knights beside the carriage, patting their horses, followed the carriage again.

In the carriage, the curtain at the window opened a small gap at this moment.

A pair of big eyes were revealed, and she was a cute-looking maid.

He poked his head out and looked at the young man on the side of the road.

"Hey, what a handsome scholar. ”

He muttered quietly, and when the scholar heard the voice and looked back, the curtains had been lowered, and the cute-looking maid had retracted into the carriage.

The coachman and several knights next to him also heard the voice, and their eyes looked at the young scholar with a thick vigilance in their eyes.

The young scholar touched the sweat on his forehead with some embarrassment, forced a laugh, and didn't hear what he did.

As the carriage took a few steps forward, someone in the carriage whispered.

The sound was too quiet, and it was covered by the sound of the carriage walking, and there was a wall blocking it, and it was impossible to hear what was being said outside.

After a while, the curtains on the windows next to the carriage were lifted again.

The maid named Lian'er poked her head out again.

Said to the driver in front: "Uncle Hu, stop." ”

"Huh?"

"Yes, Miss Lian'er. ”

The driver almost didn't react.

He quickly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at the cute-looking big-eyed maid: "Even the girl is still in trouble?"

The maid replied, "Uncle Hu, wait a minute. ”

At the same time, he turned his head to look at the handsome scholar on the side of the road and said, "Hey, scholar, where are you going?"

The scholar standing on the side of the road was a little surprised, pointed to himself, and saw that the maid nodded.

A smile appeared on the scholar's face, and it seemed that he could sit in a blackout carriage.

He bowed his hand to the maid and said, "Xiaosheng Qi Hao, go to Yuyang City in the north of Jieshi Mountain." ”

Yuyang City is located in the north of Jieshi Mountain nearly 100 miles, there is a river that originates from Jieshi Mountain Range next to the city, the river surface is wide, the river water is clear, and there are many kinds of fish in the river.

Yuyang City is located next to the river, on the one hand, because of the geographical location of the city, it is convenient for ships to dock, and it has gradually developed into a city because of the nearby generation, and on the other hand, because of the many kinds of fish in the river outside the city, it is famous for hundreds of miles in the vicinity, and the population of the city is hundreds of thousands, and it has barely entered the ranks of the big cities.

The maid named Lian'er heard this, and a hint of joy flashed on her face.

But after a while, he quickly retracted into the car and stretched out his hand to cover his face, and after a while, he calmed down the look on his face.

He stretched out his head again and said to the scholar on the side of the road: "Scholar, you can get in the car, sit in the same place with Uncle Hu, and you can barely block the sun." ”

When the young scholar heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, girl." ”

He bowed his hand to the maid, and walked to the carriage under the strange eyes of the coachman and several knights beside him.

The coachman whispered back to the maid Lian'er and said, "Miss Lian'er, there's something wrong with this, right?"

Lian'er patted her chest and said to the coachman, "It's nothing, Uncle Hu, I didn't let him in the car." ”

I still want to get into the car!" the coachman, Uncle Hu, thought with wide eyes.

Several Jianghu guests who had already walked forward in front saw the young scholar get into the carriage, fanning the wind with their hands in the shade, and their faces were more idlethan their own.

They all stared at each other with wide eyes.

"What's going on? Didn't you give him a ride?"

One of them looked at the carriage in front of him and whispered, "It seems that the maid saw that the book was growing well, so she asked him to take it again." ”

The other picked up the clothes on his shoulders and touched his sweaty face and glared at the carriage in front of him: "Little white face!"

Another person next to him said: "Alas, I look much more handsome than that little white face, why don't you let me take a ride!"

The others glanced back at the man who had spoken.

He has a rather strong figure, and his skin has been exposed to the sun for a long time, so he looks dark, and he has a scar on his face, and his muscles tremble when he speaks.

At first glance, it looks like a bandit and a bandit.

Several people tacitly turned their heads and continued to hurry, no longer speaking.

"Thank you, Uncle Hu. ”

In the car, the young man sitting not far from the coachman arched his hand to the coachman.

He removed the sword from his back and placed it diagonally beside him.

He arched his hand to the car separated by the door: "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss Lian'er." ”

"Childe, don't thank you, we are also going to Yuyang City, just on the same road. ”

There was another girl coming out of the car, her voice was calm, quiet, and there was a bookish air of everyone's ladies.

It should be the young lady that Miss Lian'er called.

There was a moment of calm in the car.

The Lian'er girl came out again: "Why is Childe in a hurry alone?"

The young scholar smiled bitterly.

Raised his hand.

said to the two people in the car: "Don't hide it, Xiaosheng's family lives in the south of Jieshi Mountain, Jieshi City." ”

"My family was originally a little rich, with a few acres of thin fields and a few shops in the city. ”

"Some time ago, something happened at home, and the family was in the middle. ”

"Now, Xiaosheng is going to Yuyang City to seek refuge with relatives at home. ”

As he spoke, a lonely and sad look appeared on his face.

Uncle Hu, the coachman, originally had a somewhat hostile look towards the young man, but when he heard the young man speak, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

There was silence in the car for a while.

After a while, the unknown young lady's voice sounded: "Childe, please also mourn." ”

Young Man Qiang smiled: "It's all in the past." ”

Said to a few people: "It's not convenient for the young lady to go out, it's better to rush to the front inn by yourself." ”

He arched his hand again: "It's really disturbing." ”

"It's just a trivial matter, Childe can rest assured to sit down, this time in Jieshi Mountain is not too peaceful, Childe is in a hurry, but there is danger. ”

Zhao Tang harnessed the flying sword and quickly entered the range of Jieshi Mountain, but did not find Qin Chong's figure.

"Strange, isn't Senior Brother Qin going to find out the news, why did he disappear so quickly?"

After standing in place for a while, Zhao Tang gritted his teeth and continued to walk towards the depths of Jieshi Mountain.

The young scholar who stopped the car halfway was Qin Chong.

The Jieshi Mountain has a vast range, and the mysterious Mother God Cult has been hidden in it for countless years, and has never been discovered, and now it is protected by the Fengyue Ancestor, if you want to find out the news, ordinary means may not be able to find out anything.

Qin Chong decided to hide his identity and enter it, exploring from the periphery little by little, maybe he could find clues from all kinds of small things.

"Oh?"

Qin Zhong looked puzzled.

"Some time ago, I have been busy with things at home, and there is no news about external affairs, what kind of chaos can there be with the protection of the ancestors in this Jieshi Mountain?"

"Please also ask the young lady for advice. ”

Qin Zhong said sincerely: "Xiaosheng is such a mundane, you have to pass by here, there are many evasions, if you don't know anything, maybe it will cause disaster for no reason." ”

"I can't advise. ”

The young lady talked to Qin Chong through the car door: "Some time ago, the ancestor had a junior who was killed by a disciple named Qin Chong of Qingyunmen. ”

"Said here. ”

The voice in the car paused for a moment: "There is a disciple in Qingyunmen who is also named Qi Hao, who is a big man for us mortals. ”

When Qin Zhong heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Really?"

There was some inexplicable joy: "I think I'm an ordinary boy, and I can have the same name as the disciple of Qingyunmen, which can be regarded as an unusual fate." ”

Immediately, his expression darkened again: "Miss, the ancestor junior was killed by the Qingyun disciples, so he won't implicate Xiaosheng because of such a thing, right?"

He shook his head, and continued as if talking to himself: "No, Xiaosheng is just an ordinary person, and he has the same name, and he is not the same name as the Qingyun master who killed the younger generation of the ancestor, and an immortal figure like the ancestor will definitely not care about a little person like me." ”

The voice of the woman in the car came out: "It's hard to say, the ancestor will not care about small people like us, but there are many characters under the ancestor, they are not necessarily." ”

A worried look resurfaced on Qin Chong's face: "This, how is this good?"

After a pause, he bowed respectfully to the woman in the car: "Miss, Miss Lian'er, and Uncle Hu." ”

looked serious: "Xiao Sheng implored a few people not to pass on Xiao Sheng's name." ”

Gritted his teeth: "A few great graces, Xiaosheng is unforgettable, and if he is sent in the future, Xiaosheng will definitely go to the soup!"

said very seriously, and looked at Uncle Hu who was driving. Waiting for his answer.

Uncle Hu glanced at Qin Zhong and sat up straighter unconsciously.

While driving the carriage, he paid attention to Qin Chong, and saw that Qin Chong did not withdraw his gaze.

opened his mouth and said: "How my young lady decides, the villain will naturally follow the young lady." ”

At this time, the young lady's voice came from the car: "Don't worry, Childe will not let Childe cause the disaster of the pond fish for no reason." ”

"I just talked to Childe about this, and I want to remind Childe to be careful. ”

"Xiaosheng knows, thank you for your advice. ”

Qin Chong's expression relaxed a little.

He didn't wait long and said, "What about this way?"

A chuckle was heard from inside the car.

The young lady continued: "Don't worry, Childe, I will tell Childe." ”

He cleared his throat: "In this stone mountain, the road connecting to Yuyang City, with the speed of our carriage at this time, it will take two days. If the son walks alone, I am afraid that he will have to take away two more days. ”

"So far?"

Qin Zhong exclaimed.

The voice of the woman in the car came out: "Childe hasn't been out before, right?"
