Section 29 Elder May still has no elders
Duan Shuai's heart was hot, and tears welled up in his eyes for a while, he hugged Lu Yu tightly from behind, and sobbed: "I really don't want to leave you!" Lu Yu was relieved: "What? The lord of the grand alliance will still cry his nose! That's not true! Duan Shuai finally smiled. He gave Coco a gentle kiss on the cheek and walked out without looking back.
Lu Yu never looked up, she took off the dragon-seeking jade on her neck and put it in Duan Shuai's hand: "This jade has been with me for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as my talisman, I will give it to you today, it will definitely protect you from coming back safely." Duan Shuai looked at the jade jue in his hand, and his heart was moved for a while, but he never dared to look back. It wasn't until Duan Shuai walked away that Lu Yu looked at his distant back and sobbed softly.
Jiangxia and Nanyangling are only separated by a river, but they seem so far away. Duan Shuai came to the river early, the small building on the opposite side of the river is really lit up a lamp, the firelight is particularly transparent under the reflection of the river, this reading river building is built when the sage Wang Xizhi accompanied the Jin Emperor to visit the Yangtze River, which has lasted for a hundred years. The building is still there, but the people are gone.
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. I am afraid that this situation was when Shusheng came back alone back then, and he was also sad, but today he can't tolerate Duan Shuai's sadness, he not only wants to go, but also comes back. Everyone looked at Duan Shuai's distant boat with expectant eyes. The boat was gentle, but it was carrying the leader of the alliance of the six provinces, which was as important as Mount Tai.
Tan Zhi and his wife deployed everything on the shore as promised, and arranged a team of communication troops every two miles on the river to keep the news of Jiangxia back at any time. There is no wind and waves on the river tonight, and there is no fog, and everything on the other side can be seen at a glance under this bright moon.
Jiangxia, which seems to be like a mirror, is foggy, and everyone can see the appearance of the other side clearly, but no one can see the situation on the other side clearly. Duan Shuai came to Jiangxia alone as promised, and the moment he landed on the shore, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing across his face, and it turned out to be two people in black. Duan Shuai smiled: "Oh? It seems that your master arranged it very thoughtfully, and someone came to pick me up so soon? When he said this, he weighed the kung fu of these two people in his heart, and he could judge that these two people were by no means ordinary based on this light skill. Being able to arrange for these two people to come over, it can be seen that Xue Lengfeng did not dare to be careless.
One of them said coldly: "Duan Alliance Master, my master has already set up a banquet on the Yuejiang Tower, and I respectfully invite Duan Alliance Master to go!" Duan Shuai nodded, and walked towards Yuejiang Tower under the guidance of the two. Although Yuejianglou is on the riverside, there is still some distance from the place where Duan Shuai landed. Duan Shuai's speed following these two people did not slow down, but he seemed to have some breathing, could it be that the light skills of these two people had surpassed his own? This is something that no one dares to imagine.
To say that although Xue Lengfeng is a legend of a generation, it is not that his subordinates will be smarter than Duan Shuai! Duan Shuai suddenly remembered that Si Xue had said that Yue Ang they had met at the Fenglin Ferry that day, and his martial arts were not under Yue Shufan, and it seemed to be superior, but it was only for a while, so Si Xue concluded that Yue Ang might have taken a medicine that could improve his strength for a period of time. But according to them, Yue Ang is clearly the one who killed the Moon Gate, but these two people are the people of the Moon Villa, could it be that the Moon Killing Gate has anything to do with the Moon Villa? Or is it that the Moon Killing Gate was originally a cover for the Moon Villa to enter the Central Plains?
Duan Shuai thought about it while walking, but he didn't realize that the two people had left him behind, Duan Shuai immediately quickened his pace, trying to catch up, but the moment he looked up, the two suddenly disappeared and disappeared into the darkness. Duan Shuai rubbed his eyelids, it was really gone, it was not an illusion.
He stopped, observing the changes around him, only to find that this was no longer the place where Duan Shuai had just walked, there was no river around, there were no lights, and when he looked back, even the boat that came had disappeared into the darkness. Duan Shuai's head was already a little numb, and he was very careful with every step he took, because he couldn't see whether there was a road ahead at all. It is very likely that in the next second, his right foot has already stepped into the abyss.
It didn't take long for Duan Shuai's eyes to get used to the darkness here, in fact, it wasn't very dark here, but it was much dimmer compared to the bright lights just now. Suddenly, two more black-clothed people appeared in front of him, and one of them chuckled, "Duan Alliance Master, what's wrong?" Could it be that the villains are walking too fast? ”
Duan Shuai sighed a little uncomfortably: "The light skills of the two of you are really clever, and you are ashamed of yourself, and I don't know how far away from Yuejiang Tower is here?" When the other man in black heard this, he seemed to be very happy in his heart, and said twice: "It's not far, it's just that my master has ordered, he is doing an important thing, and during this time, the four elders of Meilan Zhuju will receive the Duan Alliance Master first." ”
Mei Lan bamboo chrysanthemum? Duan Shuai had never heard of any of these people's names, and this name seemed to be indeed a name given only by martial arts people in the Central Plains, but when he searched for dry intestines, he couldn't recall which old-timers had this name. After walking for a short time, I came to a rockery, passed through the doorway of the rockery, and the rows of rockeries in front of me were like the back garden of a large family.
There is a small pond around the rockery, and a number of lotus flowers are planted in the sugar, but they have all withered at this time, the lake is green, the depth is bottomless, and occasionally a few frogs are turning back and forth on the withered lotus leaves. Strangely, no matter how loud the wind is, the surface of the lake is indeed calm, as if a turquoise mirror is upside down on the lake.
Duan Shuai stopped, looked around, but there was no passage to go directly to the pavilion on the other side of the lake, there was a table of wine on the pavilion, which seemed to be used to entertain Duan Shuai, there was a person sitting in the pavilion, with white hair, holding a glass cup in his hand, looking at the moon from time to time, and did not mean to invite Duan Shuai to come up. It seems that this old man is one of the four Mei Lan Zhuju.
And this garden seems to have been carefully prepared by him, because the water stains on the rockery have not been cleaned up, and the moss on it can be seen everywhere, apparently just salvaged from the great lake, and put together haphazardly. Such a pretending to be an elegant person Duan Shuai is not uncommon, but this time it is different, this is the four elders of Qiyue City, not an ordinary literati.
Duan Shuai raised his head and said, "I don't know which of the four elders of Meilan Zhuju Your Excellency is?" The people in the pavilion continued to drink, and no one came out to answer. The two men in black bowed their heads and said, "This is my Elder Mei's new courtyard, let's go and meet Elder Mei." With that, the two of them jumped up, not looking elsewhere, but straight towards the lake. In the past, they repeatedly showed their martial arts to show off themselves, but this time, their method of jumping up was particularly clumsy.
When no one performs light exercises, the whole person is half-lying on his stomach, just like no one will fall asleep and eat. But these two did just that, and what happened next made Duan Shuai a little dumbfounded. The two of them jumped into the lake on their stomachs, and did not fall into the water, but slid gently across the lake.
Could it be that this lake is really as Duan Shuai thought, and it was inverted by a mirror? No one knows, hasn't tried, and even what you see with your own eyes isn't necessarily true. It didn't take long for the two of them to be on the other side of the lake, and their expressions looked extremely relaxed.
To say that this lake is not too long, but only one person's light skills are not able to pass in any way, if you climb the surrounding rockery, wait until it passes, I am afraid it will be half an hour later. Is there only one way? Could it be that even Duan Shuai, who is the best in the world in martial arts, has to be like them, half-lying and sliding over?
Duan Shuai hesitated for a while, and finally decided to jump into the lake half-lying on his stomach, to his surprise, this lake was really like a mirror, no, if it was not accurate to say that the mirror, it should be a smooth and turquoise jade. Duan Shuai saw that people could slide forward when they were lying on it, and this posture was really not beautiful, so he had to stand up, but as soon as he moved his body slightly, the lake below his body began to ripple, and the lake seemed to be immediately scattered.
Seeing that the lake below him was about to swallow itself, Duan Shuai was startled and quickly fell down again, and then the lake once again returned to its original appearance, calm and peaceful, like an old man who had just lost his breath, sitting there peacefully.
After a while, Duan Shuai finally managed to slip over. The two black-clothed men on the other side couldn't help laughing, but when Duan Shuai came over, they reverted to their cold attitude again. Duan Shuai was about to ask, "What's the water in this lake... Before he finished speaking, someone in the pavilion had already spoken: "Two envoys, Elder Mei has invited the Duan Alliance Master to go up." When the two envoys heard this, they hurriedly said to Duan Shuai: "We are waiting for you below, you can go up." ”
Duan Shuai was a little stunned, judging from the expressions of these two people, it seemed that he was extremely reluctant to see the people in the pavilion, what was so strange about this person? Duan Shuai walked up with doubts. What appeared in front of him was an old man, the old man turned his back to him, looking at his thin and strong back, which was obviously polished. The old man said with a smile: "The Lord of the Duan Alliance came to miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." He didn't turn his face away when he said this.
Duan Shuai asked curiously, "Dare to ask if this old-timer is Elder Mei?" The old man smiled: "This is just the name of the people in my door, you can call me Lao Mei." Duan Shuai smiled: "Oh? Lao Mei, why are you turning your back to me? The old man suddenly laughed and said, "Why am I turning my back on you?" Don't you see that I am facing you? When he said this, Duan Shuai suddenly saw that there was something moving in the back of his head. The thing stopped moving as soon as he stopped talking.
Duan Shuai sweated and looked at the person in front of him suspiciously. The old man suddenly smiled and said, "What? Haven't you ever seen someone like me? Duan Shuai shook his head, and the man continued: "Hey, there are really not many people who have seen me on this Jianghu!" Whoever has seen me will not recognize me, because this is who I really am. ”
