Chapter 155: Falling Eagle Stream, Yangling City
The green mountains are majestic, the grass and trees are shining, the mountains are close to the mountains, the water is connected with the water, the peaks and loops turn rugged and winding, and the deep mountain roads are like silver snakes dancing, going deep into the endless mountains.

Miaojiang is mountainous, birds and beasts are hidden in the mountains and forests, there is no wide lane in the Central Plains, and there is not too much manpower and material resources to open the mountain and gravel, build a bright and smooth avenue, because there are too many mountains here.
The ancient poet Li Bai once said: Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky... There is a bird road in Xidang Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei.
The land of Miaojiang is also the area of Sichuan and Guizhou today, and the same is true of the mountain road, when the road is difficult, the merchants who walk on horses and horses are all horse-mounted goods, and venture through the mountain road.
Hu Man led a dozen armed soldiers to gather Tian Shihan along the narrow mountain road, and they wanted to reach the Gu God Sect, which was the most time-saving.
If you take the official road, although it is very convenient, the long distance of the official road is enough for them to go back and forth several times.
The high peaks on both sides of the mountain road are like sharp swords reaching into the sky, standing on the mountain road and looking up, like a frog at the bottom of a well, they can only see the sky overhead, and the birdsong echoing in their ears makes them feel a burst of emotion.
"Falling Eagle Stream!"
Nie Yun looked at Tian Shihan inexplicably and asked, "Luoyingjian?"
Tian Shihan pointed around and said: "This is a famous and dangerous place in Miaojiang, called Luoying Stream, which means that it will be difficult for the eagle to fly here and have to fall. ”
"I see. Nie Yun nodded, and couldn't help but think in his mind: "The eagle strikes the sky and soars, this falling eagle stream should be the name given by the locals in awe of the high mountain." ”
Although he thought so, Nie Yun also had to admit that this falling eagle stream was indeed dangerous, the mountain peaks were like swords, towering into the clouds, if there was a large area of rockfall, it would inevitably cause heavy casualties to the people walking here, and even the entire army would not necessarily be wiped out.
Perhaps Hu Man had already thought of this, closely watching the situation on both sides along the way, and if something happened wrong, he would take emergency measures to avoid danger.
It wasn't until they walked out of the Luoying Stream that Hu Man and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked back at the narrow mountain pass, they were still worried.
"Ahead is Yangling City, where we will meet up with several other teams and go to the Gu God Sect together. ”
Hu Man's words were obviously to Tian Shihan and Nie Yun, those soldiers were Hu Man's subordinates, so naturally there was no need to say anything to them.
Nie Yun and Tian Shihan glanced at each other, followed Hu Man forward, followed by several soldiers.
Yangling City, a medium-sized city, with a dense population and prosperous commercial development, although it cannot be compared with large towns and cities, its status in Miaojiang should not be underestimated.
When the team arrived at Yangling City, those soldiers seemed to leave quietly in unison, and in the end, only Hu Man, Nie Yun, and Tian Shihan were left.
Under the leadership of Hu Man, the three of them lived in a tavern in the city, because of the troubled times, even medium-sized cities like Yanglingcheng were affected to varying degrees.
The tavern's business is not very good, but the prosperous Yangling City can still bring a lot of income to this tavern, so when Nie Yun and the three of them walked in, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.
"Are the three guest officers eating, or staying in the hotel?" asked the shopkeeper earnestly.
"Three upper rooms, and then send three servings of your store's specialty dishes to the upper rooms. As soon as Hu Man shook his hand, a silver ingot fell into the shop's second-hand shop.
Although the world has unified the silver dollar since Yuan Shikai, and the folk call it Yuan Datou, the recognition of the silver dollar in remote areas is not so high, and the recognition of the silver ingot is unrivaled.
The shopkeeper weighed the silver ingot, the amount was very large, and he could even get a tip from it, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted happily: "Three upper rooms." ”
"The guest upstairs, please, the little one immediately ordered the kitchen to deliver the food. ”
Hu Man nodded, glanced at Nie Yun and Tian Shihan, and said, "You guys go upstairs to rest first, I still have some things." ”
Nie Yun glanced at him meaningfully, and then took Tian Shihan upstairs, and Hu Man also walked to the counter after Nie Yun went upstairs, and asked, "Is there a Gu God Sect token left here?"
The shopkeeper who was concentrating on the plate suddenly stopped, and then hurriedly took out a wooden sign the size of a palm print from under the counter and put it in Hu Man's hand.
Hu Man picked up the wooden card, looked at it, held it in his palm and walked upstairs.
The scale of the tavern is not large, but the service is very considerate, Nie Yun just sat down in the room and walked into a shopkeeper with hot water, and said, "Guest officer, please clean your face." ”
Nie Yun nodded, then threw out a thumb-sized silver nude, and the shopkeeper reached out and grabbed it in his hand, thanked him happily and then withdrew.
After washing his face and putting his feet in the water that was still hot, the refreshing feeling made Nie Yun's pores all over his body breathe.
"It's so comfortable. Nie Yun squinted his eyes, feeling the heat spread from the soles of his feet all the way up, through his legs, and into his body.
"Guest, your wine and food. The shopkeeper knocked lightly on the door, placed three hot dishes and a pot of sake on the table, and slowly retreated.
Nie Yun put on his shoes, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fragrant and golden fried meat, put it in his mouth, and then took a sip of wine.
"Not bad. "This is a piece of chicken, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant on the lips and teeth, and with a sip of wine, it is simply beautiful to the bone.
For a while, Nie Yun's appetite was opened, and he ate the meal in a hurry, and there was only half a pot of wine left, Nie Yun generally didn't drink alcohol, and this time he only drank half a pot.
After eating, Nie Yun sat at the head of the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and his divine consciousness was naturally released, and everything within a hundred miles was in his divine consciousness.
These days, his practice has not been wasted, he meditates and practices at night, and his divine sense is constantly growing, and the master in the Dragon and Tiger Seal is still asleep, and he has not been able to ask for advice.
Now, relying only on his own cultivation, his divine consciousness can already cover a radius of a hundred miles, which is undoubtedly a kind of progress.
"What is he doing?" Nie Yun locked his divine sense onto the next room, which was Hu Man's room.
At this moment, Hu Man was sitting in front of the table, and there was a wooden sign on the table in front of him, which was very dark in color and looked heavy and restrained.
Hu Man's palm was spread out, and a small scorpion crawled down from his palm and entrenched on the wooden card.
Then the scorpion kept scratching on the wooden sign as if it had been in some commotion, and the tail hook that exuded a cold glow was like a sharp sword, constantly piercing the wooden card.
However, the wooden card is as hard as iron, and under the probing of the scorpion's tail hook, there is a metallic sound, as if it is pierced on a piece of steel, but it is a wooden card, how can there be a metallic symphony.
What's more, every time the scorpion tail hook stabs down, it makes a different sound, like a percussion syllable, which is complicated and difficult to understand, but Hu Man's face is filled with a smile.
"This scorpion is transmitting a message?" Nie Yun thought, and then continued to observe.
I saw Hu Man put away the scorpion, then grabbed the wooden card, opened the door and walked out in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry, as if he had received some information.
Nie Yun also jumped up, got off the bed, said hello to Tian Shihan, and then walked out behind Hu Man.
Hu Man walked out of the door of the tavern and headed west, the direction was very clear, which made Nie Yun even more convinced that Hu Man had gotten some information, and after hesitating, Nie Yun still followed to see what this Hu Man was going to do. (To be continued.) )
