Chapter 5 The South Pavilion of the Hidden Stack
For the next three days, Du Yuan took Dou Xin and his group to wait silently at the inn, rarely talking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to avoid trouble, Dou Xin borrowed some silver taels from Du Yuan and changed into a set of ordinary clothes. The peaceful life quietly tore apart the corner of the conspiracy, and Dou Xin would never understand that in the array of Lord Qi, they were such an existence.
The route is planned, each inn is a small meeting point, about three to four days of stay, and after two or three teams meet, go to the next big meeting point, the last meeting point is the Tianshan Mountains. Returning without success is not a normal routine, Lord Qi has expected that there will be something to gain this time, but unfortunately he still didn't expect the mountain people to get rid of everyone. Dou Xin knew that if he hadn't made it his own, the master would definitely get the first credit. But Dou Xin was very puzzled, what was the purpose of the master to accept himself as an apprentice at this juncture? And the cave where the Guanlan Sword is located is obviously very easy to find, why does the master have to take him there? Now that I think about it, it seems that Master didn't want to do anything against himself in that cave, so why did Master suddenly show a fierce face at that time, with a face that wanted to kill him? The timing of the appearance of the Guanlan Sword seemed to be waiting for the master to throw himself into the net, all of which was too strange. Dou Xin was confused, and he really wanted to ask the master to understand again, but unfortunately he would never have a chance again. Although Dou Xin didn't know how dangerous Umno was, he was even more glad that the Guanlan Sword did not fall into the hands of Lord Qi and Master and others.
Dou Xin is in the room every day before the sun goes down, and he no longer sees people. The shadow that disappeared for no reason in the moonlight was still Dou Xin's heart disease. Every night, Dou Xin would feel that his hands and feet were not completely under his control. On the third night, Dou Xin combed his hair in the mirror before going to bed, and vaguely saw a faint halo floating on his face in the mirror, and he couldn't see anything when he looked closely.
After falling asleep, the dream was no longer Master's blood-covered body. The tall trees with lush foliage are full of bright red fruits, and the mournful flute sounds near and far, and the familiar voice whispers: "Red beans are born in the south, and spring is ......."
I don't know when I woke up from the dream, and Dou Xin suddenly sat up from the bed. The autumn wind pushed open the half-hidden wooden window, and the moonlight cast into the hut, and in the clear light, Dou Xin was as transparent. Dou Xin even had the illusion that he no longer belonged to this world. Dou Xin walked to the dressing mirror by the moonlight, and suddenly found that his face had undergone a strange change, and he screamed in panic.
The people of the other team didn't hear from him at all, Du Yuan couldn't sleep all night in frustration, and suddenly heard Dou Xin scream, and hurriedly grabbed a coat and searched for it. Outside the door of Dou Xin's room, five of his subordinates were already waiting at the door, waiting for Du Yuan to make an idea.
"What are you doing!" Du Yuan didn't think much about it at all, kicked the door in, and his subordinates followed one after another. Dou Xin was honestly lying on the bed, as if he was still asleep, and he was still whispering in his dreams from time to time. "This girl has a nightmare." One of his men muttered quietly. Du Yuan was confused at first, and then gently pushed Dou Xin, seeing that Dou Xin was really asleep, his heart finally relaxed, it seemed that what he was most worried about did not happen.
"Get out of here!" Du Yuan whispered his subordinates out, and locked the wooden window tightly before leaving.
Dou Xin closed his eyes tightly, and heard the sound of the door locking, and only breathed a sigh of relief after a long time. Dou Xin was glad that Du Yuan didn't find that the vanity mirror was buckled on the table, and he was also glad that his kung fu of pretending to be asleep was first-class. Dou Xin didn't dare to think about the face he saw in the mirror. The shackles of the oath were interlocking and firmly locked on Dou Xin's body. Dou Xin felt a fear that he had never felt before. In the past nights when I couldn't sleep like this, I was not lonely with my mother by my side. Dou Xin held the slightly hot jade and let the tears flow down the corners of his eyes to the pillow.
The sun was rising, and Du Yuan could only rush to the next meeting point non-stop.
"Girl, can you sleep soundly this night?" The crowd quipped.
"Big brothers, don't make fun of the apprentices." Under the sun, Dou Xin lay on his horse with sleepy eyes, hoping to sleep back from the sleepiness of fear and sleeplessness the night before. Before the team knew it, they had moved away from the inn and re-entered the forest.
"When I see your master, I have to talk to him. Not only can you sleep, but your master didn't leave you to hold us back, right? Du Yuan's tight strings did not relax at all, and he was barely confused for an hour after coming out of Dou Xin's room the night before, and became lively again in the morning. While speaking, Dou Xin was already asleep. The crowd couldn't help laughing, and they stopped talking loudly.
"Big brother, they?"
"Don't wait any longer, Xue Ping's death is not accidental. They were provoking, and when my patience was worn out, I really fell for their tricks. Du Yuan looked back at Dou Xin, who was riding on this horse five days ago was still his brother. Except for Dou Xin, everyone in the horse team guessed that there was already a special force mixed into the sword-seeking team, and Xue Ping, the junior military master in the team, was the first to discover this anomaly, and he was already in a different place before he had time to report to Du Yuan. Du Yuan didn't know much about the mountains and forests here, Xue Ping temporarily acted as a guide and controlled the map, if Du Yuan hadn't found Xue Ping's body in time, I am afraid that the only map would have gone unknown.
"Aren't you afraid that this girl is their man? She worshiped under the mountain people's gate for only half a month. ”
"That old man won't know the depths, and forming an alliance with them is self-defeating. He has only accepted ten apprentices in the past thousand years, and this girl is fine. Du Yuan said, a gust of wind swirled in his head, and the girl in the wind smiled miserably, her long black hair was stained with blood.
After a day and a night in the woods, Du Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He had been here before, and the sights around him, though similar, did not match many of the places he remembered. The meeting point here was set by Lord Qi himself, and if nothing else, there would be five teams of people meeting here.
The next meeting point is the South Pavilion Stack. There are only a few thatched huts on the ground of the South Pavilion, and the underground is extended in all directions, so it will not crowd the entire palace if you move it over. The mastermind behind the South Pavilion is none other than Lord Qi, so this is the best place for the rivers and lakes to save emergencies. The big deals on the rivers and lakes will regard this place as the first choice. The above-ground part is mostly used to do legitimate business, so that the passers-by trapped in the forest can rest, so it is called the Ming Palace; Most of the underground ones are for the purpose of hiding their identities, and there are those who sell people, those who hide debts, and those who hide from hunting and killing. Some rooms have guests who can hide for decades, and many people who have been missing from the world for many years can be found here. With Lord Qi covered, no matter how many people are locked up here, no one dares to make trouble. The underground one is called the Xuangong Palace. Although the south pavilion is deep in the forest, it is also inhabited, and the thatched houses that appear in front of you are dilapidated, the yard is full of broken bricks and tiles, and even firewood is piled up in the corner of the courtyard until it is moldy, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like the prosperity of the year.
"Nange Stack? It was burned three years ago. The white-headed old man was on crutches, holding the map handed over by Du Yuan, and he was powerless.
"Nan Weng, at such an age, he still makes this kind of joke. If it were me back then, your old bones would have been scattered a long time ago. Du Yuan quickly got off the horse, grabbed the map, led the horse and walked to the back of the house, "Old man, give me good forage on the horse!" ”
The white-headed old man smiled bitterly, "General Du still has such a big temper, but I really didn't laugh this time. The general's map is three years ago, Lord Qi has already moved the Nangezhan away, the Ming Palace gave me a pension, the Xuan Palace and a group of evil ghosts inside have been burned clean, a group of guys who eat human bones and don't vomit, Lord Qi's flesh and blood are about to be sucked dry. ”
"What!" Du Yuan looked at the map carefully and suddenly realized. This picture was in Xue Ping's hands before, and Xue Ping had actually been stolen after he was killed, no wonder the group would circle in the forest, I am afraid that someone deliberately led them here. "Where is the South Pavilion now?"
"Is there any need for the general to know?" The bald man took a few steps back and flicked a mechanism with his cane. Before Du Yuan could see the movements of the white-headed old man, he saw a rain of arrows coming.
The rain of arrows was mostly shot into the air, and Du Yuan stood under the horse, not affected too much, but the brothers who followed closely on the horse were probably not spared. Dou Xin was awakened by the sound of arrows, and when he got up in a daze, he was torn off his horse by Du Yuansheng, who was hurrying over.
Dou Xin looked back and saw the dense rain of black arrows, his mind was dizzy, and his temples began to cramp violently after falling off the horse. The weird nightmare of black arrow rain in my childhood has become a reality, why, it's me who should be damned? Why did the cloak fall, and it would be him before the rain of black arrows? Why does jade burn hot on a cold autumn night?
A series of inexplicable nightmares strung together, and Dou Xin lost all consciousness.
