Outside the city of Montenegro, this is a winding mountain road, whether it is into the city or out of the city, here is the only way, this road is only more than two zhang wide, there are occasionally some sparse flowers and trees along the way, but you can't find the shadow of a bird or beast, it seems to be a dead silence.

One was dressed in a gray robe, his hair and beard were wet with dew, as if he had spent a long night in the wilderness, and so on day and night, the sun and the moon turned, day after day, and the old man had been here for two days.

The old man sat on a boulder on the side of the road, looked up into the distance, and the passers-by on the side of the road asked each other, but he was silent, unable to tell whether he was disappointed or not, but his eyes were very determined.

As the time passed little by little, night fell, and there was a half-moon hanging on the moon, and patches of floating clouds swept across the sky, and I don't know who scattered a large handful of broken stars, around the crescent moon, twinkling and shining, dotting this huge and hazy canopy.

At this time, there were no more pedestrians on the path, the night wind was gently whistling, and although the sky was good, it still gave people a great sense of terror.

And the beard under the old man's chin, under the blowing of the night breeze, drifted to the back of his neck, and in the bright moonlight, emitted a few traces of silver-white brilliance.

His silver beard fluttering, his face is wrinkled, his eyes are deep-set, and his essence is shining, like two cold stars, he is the old man of eight bitterness.

Two days later, he looked a little disappointed, but still couldn't shake his determination.

"No matter what, I'm always going to stay here! Since that little girl is near Black Mountain City, whether she enters or leaves the city, she must pass through this place!"

He said, biting his lip, as if to strengthen his faith.

So he continued to sit on the boulder, his eyes wandering, hoping to spot the figure he was waiting for on the path.

It turned out that he was waiting for Sima Yu's arrival.

Suddenly, the sound of the empty mountain was heard, and the sound of horses' hooves kept ringing, and the entire mountain and forest seemed to have no other creatures except this man and horse.

There was about a time for tea, and the sound of horses' hooves was never broken, and after a while, a figure appeared in the sight of the old man.

Seeing this, the old man of the Eight Bitters did not breathe a sigh of relief until the other party appeared not far in front of him, his face suddenly became extremely happy, and finally he even laughed heartily, not in vain for waiting for a long time......

This person is Sima Yu, it turns out that after she left Xiao Yi, it was gloomy, although the world is big, where can she go?

In the end, she was ready to rush back to the Jin Kingdom alone to pay tribute to her parents, as for what to do next, she had not thought about it, and Black Mountain City was the only place to return to the Jin Kingdom from the Zhao Kingdom.

Let's say that Sima Yu heard a burst of laughter from afar, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

It turned out that on top of a raised boulder in front of the path, there was an old man in a gray robe.

His beard was white, his eyes were slit, and he looked at her with a smile, and he looked at her as if he had been out of a god, and his eyes did not blink.

Sima Yu was very surprised, I don't know why the old man laughed when he saw her, and immediately grabbed the reins, looked at the old man in a daze, and didn't know what to say.

The old man smiled at her for a long time, and then said: "Little girl, the old man has been waiting for a long time, and you are finally here!"

Sima Yu found that he couldn't see through this old man's cultivation realm, his heart suddenly burst, and he forced a smile: "The little girl and the seniors have never known each other, I don't know why the seniors said this?"

Sima Yu has experienced so many things, and she is not a rookie who is just starting out, as soon as she heard the old man's words, her heart suddenly became uneasy, her mind was running fast, and she thought to herself: "Could it be because of Lianchengbi? It's just that Lianchengbi has already been handed over to Xiao Yi......"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, because even if Lian Chengbi was on her, she wouldn't hand it over, not to mention that Lian Chengbi was not on her, and the key was that no matter what she said, she was afraid that the other party wouldn't believe it, just like the time she was caught by Sun Buren before.

Therefore, no matter whether Sima Yu will be caught or not, I am afraid that the result will disappoint all those who have bad intentions.

At this time, the laughter of the old man had stopped, but the smile on his face was still there, and he said: "Little girl, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, the old man is one of the four protectors of the Zhao country, and this time he is ordered by the king of Zhao to come for Lianchengbi." I don't want to embarrass you, little girl, as long as you hand over Lianchengbi, I'll let you go safely, how about it?"

After Sima Yu heard this, her state of mind calmed down a little, it turned out that as soon as the old man said it, she knew the identity of the old man, and only heard her say: "It turns out that the predecessor is the eight bitter old man with the highest cultivation among the four protectors. ”

The old man said "oh", and said: "The little girl is not simple, she actually knows the old man, since this is the case, then you should understand my personality even more, and you should also clearly know that in the hands of the old man, don't say that you are the ninth-layer realm of the day after tomorrow, even if you are the tenth-layer realm of the day after tomorrow, you still can't escape, how does the little girl think about it?"

Sima Yu hurriedly said: "The predecessor said that the credibility is indisputable, and the little woman can be trusted, but Lianchengbi is no longer in the little woman, how can you let the little woman hand it over to you, senior?"

"If it's not on you, how can it be?" The old man frowned when he heard this.

Sima Yu pretended to be gloomy and said: "Forgive the younger generation for being rude, Lianchengbi has really been taken away by others." ”

"Who is it?"

"Five Poison Venerable!" Sima Yu said in his heart, thinking in his heart, anyway, the Five Poison Venerable is dead, and there is no proof of death.

"How is it possible? If the Five Poison Venerables succeeded in obtaining the Liancheng Bi, how could they never show up?"

"The old-timers have been well-known in the rivers and lakes for decades, and from the perspective of the old-timers, they should know that the little woman is not the opponent of the Five Poisons Venerable, and the seniors should also understand the means of the Five Poisons Venerable, so the little woman had no choice but to hand over Lianchengbi to protect herself, but then the little woman was persecuted by Sun Buren, the general of Zhengxi, and had no choice but to tell the other party the truth. ”

Sima Yu continued to beg for mercy: "The little woman also had to do it as a last resort, just because the little woman still has some complaints about the Five Poisons Venerable in her heart, so the little woman told Sun Buren, the general of Zhengxi, that she also hoped that he could block the Five Poisons Venerable, as for the result, then please forgive the little woman for not knowing." ”

"Little girl, good mouth, sharp teeth, the old man won't tell you, as for whether the Five Poisons Venerable is dead or alive has nothing to do with me, I originally only needed to connect the city, but since you said so, then I had to offend, and I had to take the little girl back to the royal city to make an errand. ”

Although the old man of the Eight Bitters didn't know the details of this, but he had walked the rivers and lakes for many years and had a lot of experience, how could he be said to be defeated so easily? Therefore, he didn't think much about it, he simply took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and completed the order of King Zhao, as for whether King Zhao could get Lianchengbi, it had nothing to do with him, anyway, he arrested people back according to the requirements, and that would be enough!
