Chapter 45: The Tiger's Den
This time he actually asked Hou Wanfeng to stammer, originally he was the first to make a secret attack, but at this time, he was willing to admit it, so he replied forcefully: "It's hard to distinguish the face in the dark, it's nothing." I just don't understand that it could be such a coincidence, Teacher Tu came out too bone-eyed!"
Xue Yun saw that the more he spoke, the more stiff he became, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "No one is easy to identify in the dark, it's all out of misunderstanding, please look at the face of the disciples, please bear more!"
As he spoke, he bowed deeply, and then saluted Hou Wanfeng, who traveled thousands of miles at night: "Senior brother, no matter how big the wind and fire tonight, it's all for the younger brother." Don't say that we are all a family, even if we talk about righteousness, we can't teach others to see our jokes. ”
At this time, Hou Wanfeng decided that Tu and Sang were secretly judging their own abilities and were resentful, but they were lonely and inconvenient, so they had to endure and say: "Senior brother, you are far away, we are all our own people, how can we make jokes?"
Although Hou Wan said this in his mouth, the deeper his opinions about Tu and Sang. Hou Wanfeng said this perfunctory, Xue Yun hurriedly came over, went to the two helmsmen of Tu and Sang, and asked, "Why don't you see that Uncle Lu Yuankailu?"
Sang Qing looked at Hou Wanfeng and said with a sneer: "We tracked down the enemy's trail and galloped for half the night before we had to reach out to fight with the 'blasters'. Senior Lu was originally walking with us all the way, and after coming up from the rocky slope, he found two enemy traces, and Senior Lu actually chased after the master of Ciyun Nunnery and went down to the lion hill. Our brothers chased after the 'blasters' and never left Wansongping, you came from Fushigang, didn't you meet Senior Lu?"
Xue Yun said: "This is what my Uncle Lu is alone, go deep into the hinterland, don't be conspired by the enemy again!"
Sang Qing said: "Not necessarily, or maybe the return to the camp is unknown." Oh, let's just chase the enemy, there is no one left in the big camp, don't fall for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Xue Yun, you think it's better to go back to the big camp first and watch the errand. ”
Xue Yun said: "The disciple has asked Senior Brother Wang to guard the prisoners, or the two of you please come back, so as to help Senior Brother Wang take care of the prisoners, so as not to miss again." Senior Brother Hou and I went to Yingchou Ridge to find Uncle Lu. If the helmsman turns back to the camp, if he sees that Uncle Lu has gone back, he quickly sends the technical soldiers of the battalion to the bottom of the mountain to fire three arrows in a row, and we can return to the camp with confidence. What do you two think?"
Sang Qing and Tu Zhenhai are not easy to deal with because of the current fierce enemy, and Hou Wanfeng's hidden danger is even more difficult to prevent, so they can only quickly withdraw and return to the camp to make plans, so they said to Xue Yun: "This is in line with my wishes, if you know Senior Lu, you can also go back quickly." ”
Speaking of this, he didn't say anything to Hou Wanfeng, but only said to Tu Zhenhai: "Let's go I" The two helmsmen didn't look back, and walked back along Wan Songping.
Hou Wanfeng looked at the whereabouts of the helmsman of Yumen, and sneered: "Don't be so arrogant, let's see!"
Xue Yun hurriedly persuaded: "Senior brother should be so stubborn, so that the junior brother is too sorry for the master! Everything is on the face of the junior brother, and we will work together to deal with a strong enemy, if our own husband is disgusted, it will not be the original intention of the junior brother to invite the senior brother." ”
Hou Wanfeng said: "Senior brother, don't worry, for your business, you must not be ambiguous, and you don't care about other things." Let's go! Let's rush to Eagle Ridge and pick up the star cliff to find out. ”
Xue Yun knew that this senior brother was narrow-minded and suspicious, and he didn't agree with him, so he immediately brushed his sleeves away, but it was inconvenient to persuade him again, lest he suspect that he was biased in favor of the Phoenix Tail Gang and despised his fellow disciples, so he had to follow him to Yingchou Ridge. The two of them performed the nocturnal technique and galloped along the pine road in Wansongping. As Xue Yun walked, he couldn't help but be afraid, always afraid of being plotted by the enemy.
How do you know that when you walked out of only Li Xu, Hou Wanfeng, who had traveled thousands of miles at night, shrank and shouted: "Senior brother pay attention!"
Xue Yun saw a little cold star coming from the oblique thorn, flew over Hou Wanfeng's head, and nailed it to the trunk of the tree on the left side of the road. Hou Wanfeng avoided this secret weapon, but followed an early onion pluck and jumped towards the gap in the stone pine forest. Xue Yun took the opportunity to take down the hidden weapon nailed to the trunk and saw that it was still the shuttle dart that Hou Wanfeng had shot out before, Xue Yun put it in the bag casually, Hou Wanfeng had pierced several ancient trees in a row, and he did not see any trace of the enemy.
Xue Yun hurriedly greeted: "Senior brother, the enemy is dark and I am clear, we are suffering a big loss, but we still hurry out of this Wan Songping, even if we encounter the enemy, we can show our hands and feet." This kind of kung fu, if you don't compare with us clearly, you will only secretly calculate us, don't fall for him!"
This sentence fell, and suddenly I heard a shout from the pine forest on the right: "Fight!"
The two of them were startled, and they dodged, but it was too late, so they hit the backs of the two of them with two stones in a row, although they were not seriously injured, but they also felt very painful.
The two of them angrily pounced on Lin You, and when they were about to chase the enemy through the forest, they said again: "Fight!" The voice came from Lin Zuo again. This time, the two of them were shocked quickly, and they immediately dodged away, and two more stones hit the ground in the woods.
The more anxious Hou Wanfeng became, the more he scolded, the faster he scolded, and chased to the left, and the stones hit on the right; No matter how light and agile Hou Wanfeng is, he just can't avoid the secret attack.
Xue Yun saw that the situation was not good, and chased after Hou Wanfeng and quietly greeted Hou Wanfeng: "Hurry up and rush out of Wansongping, so as not to be embarrassed by the enemy by taking advantage of the geographical advantage." ”
Hou Wanfeng also felt at this time that the secret enemy only had the intention of teasing, and did not mean to take the lives of the two people, and he had been entangled here for a long time, and he would never be able to please him, so according to Xue Yun's words, he launched a flying leap, swishing like a dragonfly dotting water, swallows sweeping the waves, and walked down to the east of Wansongping.
Sure enough, this sudden change of plan really avoided the enemy's covert attack. The work is not large, and the east exit of Wansongping has been out in front of you. Hou Wanfeng looked back at Xue Yun, who was already a stone's throw behind, and waited a little, Xue Yun arrived, and saw that this area was full of mountains and peaks.
Xue Yun gasped slightly, and immediately pointed to this area of mountains and asked, "Senior brother, is this the Eagle Sorrow Ridge?"
Hou Wanfeng smiled and said: "If it is Eagle Chou Ridge here, it is too inconsistent with the name." Brother, come with me. ”
Hou Wanfeng's spirit was sharply lifted, he lowered his waist, and walked up the mountain road, Xue Yun followed closely behind, and arrived at the post one after the other. After walking a short distance, the road gradually fell. After this lonely ridge, there was a high ridge in front of him, and Xue Yun saw that this place was indeed in danger.
Hou Wanfeng greeted in his head: "Senior brother, don't be careful, the road here is not easy to walk." ”
Xue Yun agreed and followed up. This big ridge is always a mile long, the foot is full of strange rocks, stalagmites are uneven, and no one has walked over the years, the moss is extremely slippery, thorns are thick, and it is really dangerous every step.
The two of them relied on the nocturnal technique, lightly climbing and skillful, dotting moss, and walking on rocks, which was also very laborious. Only then did I know that this Eagle Sorrow Ridge was really steep and abnormal! Xue Yun was quite remorseful as he walked along, but he just refused to speak.
There are two or three arrows away from this ridge, which is even more dangerous. In the past, the road was treacherous and slippery, but I didn't expect that this area was even more thorny, basil and grass, almost covering a dangerous path in the narrow ridge. If you stumble and fall, you will be stoned to death.
Xue Yun then beckoned: "Senior brother, how many roads are there in this Eagle Chou Ridge? A dangerous road like this, in case there is another enemy plotting, it will not be easy to dodge. Senior brother, I think we'd better forget it!"
Hou Wanfeng paused slightly, looked back, and said to Xue Yun: "Senior brother, you are an official, and you are used to being pampered, and you can't endure hard work or suffering." We people in the spiritual cultivation realm pay attention to taking risks and risks, what is this! You see, a stone's throw away in front of us, the one who rises above the clouds is the Star Picking Cliff. There is no reason to go back when you are about to reach the ground. However, not far away is a slope, when you go down, you must stop the momentum, and under the slope is a cave that leads to the star cliff. ”
Xue Yun was quite embarrassed by Hou Wanfeng's words, so he had to continue to move forward, but he didn't say a word. Sure enough, it wasn't a long way to go, and it was a steep hill again. After Hou Wanfeng's warning, Xue Yun paid attention to his steps step by step, not daring to be careless at all. As soon as I looked at the situation on the opposite side, it was indeed a dangerous cliff with high mountains and clouds, but in the darkness of the night, I couldn't see how high it was? I saw the high cliff opposite, vines and thorns, and small trees growing on the cliff face, and the black pressure towered to the sky, and I couldn't see where the top of the cliff was. Walking down, I was afraid that I would slip and fall into the mountain stream. Along the slope, walking down for more than a dozen zhang, Hou Wanfeng suddenly greeted: "Senior brother, you are at my feet, don't panic." ”
Xue Yun stopped his feet behind Hou Wanfeng, took a closer look at the terrain in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly blame his senior brother for being too ridiculous, the enemy is current, and he is really asking for trouble when he comes to this kind of place in the middle of the night! It's just that this big tree was born under the ridge and fell on the stream, making a natural single-plank bridge. The roots of the tree were buried by the vines, so that it was impossible to see whether they were moved or grew in place. It's just that although there is this single-plank bridge to cross, the opposite foot is not as good as this side, only a section of dangerous rocks is poked out to support the treetops, and it has to be ascended when it crosses. Picking up the star cliff is even more sinister, and those who are not good at tricks can go up.
Xue Yun stood stunned, and Hou Wanfeng said, "Senior brother, look, this is the Star Picking Cliff. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get the tiger? Senior brother, you can't estimate it, and you will guard the single-plank bridge here for me, but fortunately, I have been up there, and it won't take much effort to rely on my light work. ”
Xue Yun was no longer polite at this time, so he said: "Senior brother, what you said is very true, this is the only way back, junior brother is here to patrol the wind!"
Hou Wanfeng smiled slightly: "Senior brother, look at me!"
Hou Wanfeng shook his arms, slumped over, jumped on the trunk of the tree, walked three or four steps, and suddenly heard the sound of gurgling on the opposite cliff like thunder, mixed with the sound of clattering branches and broken leaves.
Xue Yun hurriedly shouted: "Senior brother, pay attention!" followed by a loud bang, and a huge boulder the size of a grinding disc smashed on the trunk of the tree, and the sound was very loud and deafening.
Hou Wanfeng was fortunate to see the opportunity early, first heard the thunder that seemed to rumble on his head, he knew that it was not good, and at a glance he saw a large black whirring piece rolling down from the opposite steep cliff, and when he hurriedly jumped back, there was a "boom", and he was already shocked.
