Section 42 Exploration of Lushan

Why would anyone plant gunpowder on the docks? Does anyone want to blow up this dock? Duan Shuai immediately ruled out this idea, because there are more than three or two wharves here, there are more than ten wharves along the river for more than ten miles, and even if there is no wharf, the boat can dock. Then the gunpowder must not have been deliberately placed, that is, someone brought a large amount of gunpowder, and these are only part of it.

Only a little bit can blow up this ship, so if it's a large batch, what is it going to blow up? It should be a very huge thing to be fried, something that cannot be opened by manpower alone, so it is a mountain except for a mountain. Duan Shuai thought about it, except for Huo Lanfeng and his party, he couldn't imagine that the second group of people would carry these explosives.

That is to say, Huo Lanfeng took Xun Long Jue to the mountains, and he had to blow up a mountain in order to find the so-called treasure. Duan Shuai asked, "Great Protector, do you know any of the more famous mountains around here?" The Great Protector thought for a while and said, "According to this, about one hundred and fifty miles to the west, there is a Lu Mountain, which should be the largest and most famous mountain in the radius. It is said that there are countless people who cultivate immortals on the top of Lushan. ”

Duan Shuai's gaze looked to the west, Lushan, this was a place he had never been to before, but there were people here. Lu Jin interjected: "Indeed, I took refuge in Lushan with Brother Chang and Xiaolu. Duan Shuai was surprised: "Oh? When did this happen? ”

Lu Jin seemed to think of the events of that year again: "At that time, we left the village and were topped by Fanwen's men, and under the repeated threats of Brahma Ba, we had to escape to a cliff, but fortunately we were helped by a woman named Xiao Xiangyue, and we survived. By the way, this is Xiaoxiang Moon Heroine is also a member of the Tianshan faction, and she said that her master is called. What is it called the south wind. ”

The Great Protector's eyes widened and said, "Isn't it Xiao Nanfeng!" When Lu Jin heard Xiao Nanfeng's name, he quickly nodded and said, "That's right, that's right, it's him!" The Great Protector looked at Lushan in amazement, but his eyes were moist. Although Duan Shuai didn't know what the relationship between these two people was, he could feel that the Great Protector must have a great relationship with this Xiao Nanfeng.

After a long time, the Great Dharma Protector spoke: "This Xiao Nanfeng, you should all call him uncle!" He's your master's brother! I have only had a few encounters with him, and half of my kung fu has been taught by him. He is really a strange person of our Tianshan Sect! In that year, the Tianshan Civil Strife, Meng Xiumian's ancestor left the Tianshan Mountains with a group of Tianshan disciples, disappeared, and was only famous again when it was passed on to Xiao Nanfeng's generation. Qingfeng Sword Xiao Nanfeng's martial arts back then were the best in the rivers and lakes, and anyone in the world who could have lived with him in twenty moves would laugh out loud in his dreams. ”

Duan Shuai was dumbfounded and said, "Is there really such a master? The Great Protector smiled: "You must know that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people on the people, I was young and unconvinced, claiming to challenge him, he saw that I was also a member of the Tianshan Gate, so he was willing to fight with me, I only had ten moves, and he took away the long sword, and I learned that I was responsible for guarding the Yujue Cave, but the martial arts were ridiculously poor, so after that, he carefully trained me on Luoxia Peak, and he was already so old at that time. Now that I think about it, he should be 100 years old. ”

Everyone sighed when they heard it, and sighed that there was no end to learning. "From this point of view, this Xiao Nanfeng should be living in seclusion in this Lushan Mountain." Duan Shuai asserted. The Great Dharma Protector nodded thoughtfully and said, "Let's get on the road!" Go to Lushan. ”

Lushan Wonderland, the smoke is vast, there are several roads up the mountain, but there is only one that can walk the carriage, since Huo Lanfeng and the others want to carry some explosives up the mountain, it must be borrowed from the carriage, so Duan Shuai decided that they will definitely take this road. They found a local guide and hurried up the mountain.

As expected, there were traces of carriages on the mountain road, and judging from these car prints, the weight of these carriages was really not light, and it was conceivable that the amount of explosives was definitely quite a lot. When you walk halfway up the mountain, you can't see the place ten meters in front of you, and this is already the hinterland of Lushan, so the smoke is surrounded all year round. If it weren't for a local here, the handsome group wouldn't even be able to touch the way down the mountain.

"The old man has lived here all his life, and I don't know how many people he brought up the mountain, this is the first time I have encountered such foggy weather, you are really in a hurry." The old guide said triumphantly. Duan Shuai asked, "Oh? Is there any coincidence in this? The old guide glanced at Duan Shuai with a smile and said: "Young man, you are blessed, you can see the fairy miles in the mountains today, don't you know, once our Lushan Mountain is foggy, there will definitely be a wonder, well, right there, at noon, the top of the valley will be glittering with golden light, this is the gods in the mountains to bless us!" ”

Duan Shuai and the others all looked in that direction, and there was indeed a faint amount of golden light in the valley not far away, and as the fog became bigger and bigger, this golden light became brighter and brighter. Pei Chongguang pulled Duan Shuai and whispered, "I see, that's probably where they went." Duan Shuai also nodded thoughtfully, and asked instead, "Uncle, have any of you ever been to the valley over there?" ”

The old man frowned suddenly, and said slowly: "I've been there, but unfortunately, no one can come back." Lu Yu was surprised: "What's the matter?" Uncle, tell us about it. Saying that, Lu Yu's palm holding Duan Shuai's arm gradually oozed sweat. The old man coughed a few times, took two puffs of dry tobacco, stared into the distance and said: "The gods in the mountains don't like people to disturb, a few years ago, a group of people went in, all of them were big and small, and at noon on the day they entered, the mountain god roared twice, and none of these young men came out." Further back, many people have gone in one after another, all saying that there are treasures in it, but there is no return, this back and forth, no one dares to disturb the mountain god. ”

Just as they were talking, there was a sudden bang in the mountain, and there was a rumbling sound from the valley, and the old man hurriedly squatted down and covered his head and said, "Quick, squat, the mountain god is angry, it seems that someone has broken into that valley." Duan Shuai and the others all squatted down in fear, but their eyes never left the valley.

After a long time, the old man slowly stood up, he patted the dust on his body and said, "Let's go, if you want to see the scenery, there is still a long way to go." Duan Shuai said softly: "Old man, can you, can you take us over there?" Duan Shuai pointed in the direction of the valley, and at this time, the golden light had already illuminated the entire valley, which was incompatible with this hazy mist.

Seeing that Duan Shuai was referring to the other side of the valley, the old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, young man, you don't want to die, the mountain god was still angry just now, and he hasn't lost his temper like this for many years!" Duan Shuai said with a smile: "Old man, if we don't go to the valley, I think we can see the golden spectacle more clearly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Let's not get close to the valley. Saying that, Duan Shuai took a silver ingot in the old man's hand.

The old man looked Duan Shuai up and down, put the silver into his arms, and sighed: "The old man didn't take this risk for this money, it's really a little strange today, this golden light seems to be many miles brighter than usual, hey, we said in advance, we must not get close to the valley!" Duan Shuai saw that the matter was discussed, and nodded again and again.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally came to the nearest flat area to the valley, where there was no sign of a carriage, but the footprints of men were scattered and stretched towards the valley. Looking at the arrangement of these footprints, Duan Shuai could immediately conclude that this was the trace of an army that would come out, because these footprints were so neat that it was impossible for any few people to walk out. It's not just an army, it's a well-trained army.

It seems that Huo Lanfeng has really made a bloody investment this time, it is explosives and an army, this is the meaning of digging holes in the mountains! Duan Shuai ordered a few people to rest here, so he ran alone in the direction of the valley, and after walking for a while, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him, these people were as many as four or five hundred, and the strange thing was that none of these soldiers had a bulky weapon such as a spear in their hands, but a long sword at their waists.

In addition, the armor on their bodies seemed to be much lighter than that of ordinary soldiers, and these armors were strapped to the outside of large and small burlap bags. What these burlap bags are used for, Duan Shuai didn't know very well, he saw the meaning of someone going this way, so he jumped up, climbed among a slender cypress tree, and quietly observed the situation below.

It turned out that the front of the soldiers was their leader, this leader was sitting in a wheelchair, waving a goose feather fan in his hand, judging from the bun, it should be Huo Lanfeng, and the one standing next to him was Xue Lengfeng, and the other was the mysterious black-clothed man who was on the Yuejiang Tower that day.

The strange thing was that no matter how much Duan Shuai looked, he couldn't find where they were going to enter the valley from, there was only a stone wall opposite them, and the stone wall was empty, and there was not even a single weed. It would not be strange if there were weeds, but the strange thing is that there is really no grass on this stone wall, and not even a single crack can be found, not only that, but this stone wall is as smooth as a mirror, and there is no wrinkled texture to be found.

The only fly in the ointment is that the center of the stone wall seems to have been smoked with a large black mark. This black mark stands out on the smooth stone wall. Huo Lanfeng suddenly said loudly at this time: "Senior, the late life is here again, and the things you want, the late life has also brought them!" The stone wall shook suddenly, but no one answered.

Xue Lengfeng said hatefully: "It's better for us to blow up this stone wall with explosives." Huo Lanfeng smiled: "Didn't Brother Xue try it just now, does it work?" Xue Lengfeng gritted his teeth and said: "Fang Cai is probably useless, we have brought so much, I don't believe that this broken stone wall can't be exploded." Huo Lanfeng continued to laugh and said, "Okay, Brother Xue, when you blow up this stone wall, I'm afraid we will all have to be crushed under these stones." ”
