Chapter 60: Retreat
There are three roads leading from the town to Wanling County, two small roads and one large road. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Nanfeng is taking the main road, and there is a sentence in the letter he wrote to the second elder of the Xuanzi generation, "All arrangements have been made before and after leaving the mountain", so that the other party can mistakenly think that he has made some arrangements, and if he is killed, the mysterious scriptures of Taiqing Sect will be made public by others.
In fact, he didn't make any arrangements at all, just bluffed, and if he took the path, the other party could see that he was uneasy, and from this he judged that he was bluffing.
Now that you have arranged what is behind you, you should be fearless, if you go too fast, you will also appear weak, so you can only stride forward, not trot all the way.
Nanfeng didn't care about his sad feelings, and he didn't have the heart to sigh to himself, he was very nervous at this time, tonight is very important, whether he lives or dies depends on tonight.
He divided the scriptures into two and wrote them in jumps, in addition to making Cao Meng and Ling Yanzi not be killed because they knew the scriptures, there was another reason, that is, to delay the time as long as possible, after the other party got the scriptures, they needed to transcribe and sort them out, and after sorting them out, they had to be scrutinized and determined, so that he could take the opportunity to go farther.
Back then, he suggested to Tian Yuanzi that he make up false scriptures to Lin Zhendong, what Tian Yuanzi said was that the mysterious scriptures are difficult to falsify and tamper with, and a discerning person can easily see the flaws, which is also the reason why he didn't dare to leave false scriptures for the other party, even a master like Tian Yuanzi can't tamper with the scriptures, and he, a half-hanger who often skips class, doesn't dare to try, if the other party finds that the scriptures are fake, he will immediately arrest him back.
After scrutiny, the other party should be able to determine that what he left behind is the true Taixuan Zhenjing, and then the other party will consider how to deal with him, whether to kill him or let him go.
Whether it is killed or released, there are pros and cons, the advantage of killing is that the grass is cut and eradicated, and the disadvantage is that the Taiqing Sect is likely to be propagated. The advantage of not killing is that the Zhenzong will not be leaked, but the disadvantage is that the tiger will return to the mountain, which will lay the root of the bane in the future.
At this time, he has no power to resist, whether he lives or dies is all in the other party's thoughts, when he walks, Nanfeng has been standing in the other party's position to consider the pros and cons, before his arrival, the Taiqing Sect's Taixuan Zhenjing has been lost because of fierce infighting, the other party in order to take charge of the Taiqing Sect, not hesitating to lose the Taixuan Zhenjing to eradicate dissidents, which shows that although the other party values the Taixuan Zhenjing, but it is not very important, if you think so, the possibility of the other party killing him is great.
But there is also one thing that is beneficial to him, that is, the other party knows that he has mediocre qualifications, and a person with mediocre qualifications can only cause limited damage in the future. The other party will definitely not do the thing of letting the tiger return to the mountain, but it is still possible to let a sheep go.
The winter night is cold, and there is a north wind, but the cold sweat on the south wind has not dissipated, at this time it is like a fake human knife, I am a fish, whether it is dead or alive is all in the other party's thoughts, a person may jump out of the dense forest around the road at any time to hurt his life, and it is also possible to chase from the rear to kill him.
Traveling alone, staying overnight in Yizhuang, repeatedly suffering disasters, having experienced so many things before, Nanfeng's courage is not small, but at this time he was frightened by a rabbit jumping out of the side of the road and exclaimed, he was extremely nervous, and it really reached the point where the grass and trees are soldiers, and the shadow of the bow and snake, any wind and grass can scare him into a cold sweat.
I don't know how far I walked, I don't know how long I walked, two thoughts changed frequently in his heart in one night, I am dying, I may not die, I am really going to die, they may not dare to kill me......
The long-term apprehension and nervousness made Nanfeng angry, and he had the heart to shout, 'Come out and give Lao Tzu a good time', but after thinking about it, he never shouted, if he really shouted, the other party knew that he was afraid, and if he was really prepared, he didn't have to be afraid at all.
After walking for a long time in fear, a city appeared in front of him, and he had already arrived in Wanling County.
Looking up at the sky, the time to find the stars is timed, and it has already passed the third watch.
Wanling has a city wall, but it is not high, and there is no one to patrol, the south wind climbs in from a low place, walks in the dark from the street, trying to find an inn to spend the night, but tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, the inn in the city has long been closed, and it is impossible to find it, so he went to the courtyard with lights and candles in the city to spend the night, he wore a Taoist robe, it was easy to stay overnight, and the owner of the house not only let him in, but also warmed up with him with a bowl of hot soup.
Lying down in the wing of the house, Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party had the intention to kill him, he should have done it a long time ago, if he didn't kill him at this time, he would probably not kill him.
But he is not very optimistic, because the other party has not killed him, and it may be difficult to weigh the pros and cons, so it will be delayed.
After a long time, Nanfeng retracted his thoughts, strengthened his mind, wrapped himself in the quilt and closed his eyes and fell asleep, sooner or later he should come, and sooner or later he didn't come, it was useless to be afraid, let it be fate.
In the early morning of the next day, the owner of the house invited him to have breakfast with him, and Nanfeng did not refuse, and left a tael of silver after breakfast, he was not infected with the wind and cold, and fell ill in bed, all thanks to the owner's reception last night and the bowl of hot soup, and he should be paid heavily.
At the beginning of the year, the festival is festive, and the people in the city will pay more New Year's greetings after meeting, and there are also those who say hello to the south wind, and the south wind returns the first gift, and the face is strong to deal with.
Nanfeng had the intention to buy some outings from the city, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, many shops in the city were not open, and there was nowhere to buy.
Even if he had the heart of resignation, Nanfeng still didn't want to die, and if he didn't want to die, he couldn't help but be afraid, and he stayed up all day in fear, and stayed up all night in horror, and he was still alive.
There were many shops that opened on the second day of junior high school, and Nanfeng carried gold cakes and a lot of silver coins with him, so he bought bedding and dry food and other things, and bought a long sword, and asked the shopkeeper to help open the blade, carrying a cover, carrying a burden, and holding a long sword, leaving the town and continuing to move forward.
At noon, there was a dense forest in front of him, seeing the dense forest, the south wind was nervous again, the other party had not done it before, probably because there were many people in the city, and the road in front was blocked by trees on the left and right, if it was done, it was a good place.
Even if he was afraid, the south wind could only go forward, and the dense forest was only three or five miles away, and it was a cold sweat when he walked through.
It's okay, it should be okay, Nanfeng raised his hand to wipe his sweat.
A short distance further, there was a fork in the road ahead, and three forks led to three directions, southeast, north and south.
When he got here, the south wind stopped, and unlike the day he went to Taiqing Mountain, this time he had no clear place to go, he had no relatives, and he didn't know where to go.
After a short hesitation, the south wind turned a fork in the road to the north, the Liang State was the sphere of influence of the Taiqing Sect, and he could not stay in the Liang State, where did he come from and where did he go back, go back to the North, go to Chang'an.
In this year, Nanfeng has grown a lot taller, with the appearance of an adult, plus wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a long sword, he is not worried that there will be a strong man to come out to embarrass him when he is in a hurry, he is afraid of the Taiqing Sect, and ordinary thieves do not dare to provoke the Taoist, even if this Taoist is a small Taoist.
Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and after another three days, Nanfeng became more and more at ease, the other party had not done it for so long, that is, he would not do it, if nothing else, his life was saved.
Different from the broom self-cherishing of the yellow quilt of the shroud, he carried a large amount of silver money, and threw away the futon after a few days, the futon was too heavy, and the trip affected the itinerary, so he traveled lightly and stayed at the inn overnight.
Although he was not in a hurry to return to Chang'an, Nanfeng was in a hurry to leave Liang, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and after half a month, he arrived at the south bank of the Dejiang River, crossed the river, and the north bank was the boundary of Wei.
When he arrived at the riverside, Nanfeng couldn't help but think of Tianqizi, although he knew that Tianqizi was more than lucky, he still hoped that Tianqizi was only imprisoned and not killed, except for Master Tianyuanzi, Tianqizi was the best person for him.
In the early spring, there is no ice to tread on the river, but the water demon is removed, there are ferries on the river, Nanfeng and a few peddlers wait for the boat from the south bank, just when the ferry is still more than 100 steps from the shore, someone on the boat shouts his name, "South wind! South wind!"
When the south wind heard the sound, he saw a monk in a robe, waving at him from the bow of the ferry......
