386. 380: Heavenly Danger Mountain
On the morning of the third day after leaving the town, Bai Yuzhu and the others arrived at the foot of Tianwei Mountain, on the way due to Lu Mengyao's poor health, the speed was relatively slow, Tianwei Mountain was similar to its name, a dangerous mountain like climbing to the sky.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are many traps and traps, so subtle that even Nangong Jue is a little amazed, the design is ingenious and complex, it can be seen how tight the defense of this Black Moon Pavilion is, and it is no wonder that the Black Moon Pavilion can have so much power in the rivers and lakes, there must be a lot of strange people and talents, just the person who designed these defenses is afraid that he is a great god in the rivers and lakes.
"What are we doing here?" Lu Mengyao saw that there seemed to be a lot of traps on this mountain, and she asked with some concern, didn't she take her out to relax? How did you come to such a weird place?
"This is the Black Moon Pavilion, anyway, it's all here, just play here for a while and relax." Bai Yuzhu said for Nangong: "There is nothing lacking here, and the scenery is very good after reaching the top of the mountain, and staying here for a while is much better than going to other places." ”
"But didn't you tell Hua Yuying and the others that you were back to deal with things?" Lu Mengyao sensed that something was wrong, she thought that she was on the way with Bai Yuzhu, how could she come here all the way.
Bai Yuzhu was sad when he talked about Hua Yuying, and he sighed: "Yes, but this is not a conflict, I invite you to play!" ”
"But-" Lu Mengyao seemed to have a bunch of questions that she hadn't asked, but Nangong Jue next to her stopped her: "Don't ask so much." ”
Miraculously, Lu Mengyao really didn't ask, although her face was still not very happy, Bai Yuzhu explained a lot of words, and it was not as impatient as Nangong Jue stopped it.
The more you go up, you can find that the road is much smoother, and gradually some houses appear, which look like palaces from the outside, and are getting denser and denser, when Bai Yuzhu said "arrived", a majestic palace appeared in front of Nangong Jue and Lu Mengyao.
Temple of Heaven and Harmony.
Nangong Jue looked at the palace, people outside came and went, dressed very uniformly but not uniformly, roughly three colors, white, black, and red, after seeing Bai Yuzhu, he would nod respectfully and say a silent hello, for Nangong Jue and Lu Mengyao, the two strangers, there was no great surprise or more to see.
The people here are quite obedient, and they don't have any doubts about the people brought by Bai Yuzhu, as long as they do their own thing, and there has never been an internal split in the Black Moon Pavilion for so many years, so everyone didn't seem to think that someone would bring any strange people back.
"How's that, isn't that cool?" Bai Yuzhu saw a hint of interest in Nangong Jue's eyes, and boasted to himself.
"Hmm." Nangong will never hesitate to praise it.
"These are all people directly under Yuzhu Building, Jinsong Building and Lenglan Building, when we came over just now, those houses were people from the forty-two branches below, and the eighty-six series were scattered all over the rivers and lakes, and they were too many to count." Bai Yuzhu said that on the surface, he was just mentioning it to Nangong Jue and the two of them, but in fact, he was introducing the general situation of the Black Moon Pavilion to Nangong Jue.
Nangong Jue listened silently, he didn't want to say too much, lest Lu Mengyao be suspicious, Lu Mengyao's personality actually belonged to the suspicious kind, and finally her mood calmed down a little all the way, he didn't want to make any trouble and let her continue to make trouble.
"Let's go, let's get some rest." Bai Yuzhu felt that Lu Mengyao was there, and he didn't want to say anything, so he changed the topic and said.
Lu Mengyao's face was still a little weak, she either vomited or had a headache, but it was not caused by the wind and cold, so Nangong Jue's medicine would continue to vomit after taking it for a while, and Lu Mengyao couldn't take other medicines, because many of Nangong Jue's medicines had already been prepared, and it was not aimed at this symptom, Bai Yuzhu was even worried that Lu Mengyao would hang up along the way, but fortunately, there was nothing, otherwise he would have become a sinner.
The enormity of the Black Moon Pavilion was beyond Nangong Jue's expectations, the entire mountaintop was as luxurious and domineering as the palace, like a fairyland in the clouds and mist, after entering the Tianhe Palace, it was even more splendid and gorgeous, Nangong Jue even felt that it was more than the palace, this was just an organization on the rivers and lakes, but it was so extravagant, it can be seen that it is very rich in terms of money, so it can afford the expenses of so many people outside.
"Eat something before going to sleep, and we'll talk about it when we have dinner in the evening." Bai Yuzhu asked people to prepare a table of meals, he couldn't eat enough and didn't sleep well every day these days, but he was tired to death.
"I'm not hungry." Although the table was full of delicacies, Lu Mengyao's appetite couldn't be opened, her stomach was uncomfortable now, and she even wanted to vomit when she saw the delicious fish soup.
Nangong Jue unexpectedly scooped a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of Lu Mengyao, his tone was a little stiff, but it was not difficult to hear the concern: "Let's go to sleep after drinking." ”
But what he scooped was the fish soup that Lu Mengyao couldn't drink now, Lu Mengyao looked at the fish soup with some embarrassment, but she was a little touched in her heart, Nangong was not really so ruthless to her, at least he didn't let himself fall into a dangerous situation, Lu Mengyao endured the discomfort in her stomach, picked up the bowl of fish soup and drank it, as if she was drinking medicine.
"Then do you want to go and rest first?" Bai Yuzhu asked, if Lu Mengyao went to rest, he still had some things to talk about with Nangong Jue alone.
Lu Mengyao was already uncomfortable and panicked after drinking the fish soup, the fish soup was obviously very delicious and had a very fishy taste, plus she suddenly remembered the pile of corpses she had seen on the way, she felt that stomach acid was about to gush out, and when she heard Bai Yuzhu's words, she nodded: "Okay, then you eat slowly." ”
Then a maid took Lu Mengyao down to rest.
"Whew." As soon as Bai Yuzhu waited for Lu Mengyao to leave, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little depressed to be with Lu Mengyao, although he was not Nangong Jue, but Lu Mengyao's weak appearance and somewhat extreme and stubborn personality were very contradictory, and even Bai Yuzhu, who thought he was very harmonious, felt very depressed.
He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Nangong Jue, a man is actually too good and not good, how bad it is to be liked too easily, circling among women is Bai Yuzhu's favorite thing in the past, but he wants to be in the middle of thousands of flowers, and the leaves do not stick to his body, not for the battle of several women.
Alas, it's hard to be a man!
"Now let's get down to business." Bai Yuzhu really has a feeling of impatience, what an exciting thing it is to be able to throw out the hot potato for several years! He wasn't even hungry, put down his chopsticks and said: "The management model is still very simple, I'm responsible for a bit of miscellaneous, but I'll see the ghost pine people in the future, one of them is responsible for receiving tasks and screening, that is, some can be accepted, just take it, and refuse if it can't, and the other is to send the task down to be responsible for arranging manpower and layout, and the forty-two branches are some in other places, and some are here in Tianwei Mountain, the eighty-six series is too complicated, most of them are on the rivers and lakes, and only occasionally some information needs them to come back and report it." ”
Bai Yuzhu first briefly explained the general situation of the Black Moon Pavilion now, who managed which area, he patiently explained various questions, if outside, how to identify which people were from the Black Moon Pavilion, what communications and code words to use if they were far away, and which money in the pavilion was generally common......
"I'm tired, do you understand?" Finally finished speaking, Bai Yuzhu hurriedly picked up the tea and took a sip, which explained that his mouth was dry, there was no way, he managed many chores in the pavilion this year, and he was the only one who knew the most comprehensively, and the other two people were really beasts! One is resolutely only in charge of the task, the other is resolute in the division of the task, and the rest is thrown to him, otherwise he would not be so oppressed that he urgently needs someone to take over.
How could that kind of messy chores be done by someone like him who comes and goes in a dashing manner?
"Where's the Chamber of Secrets?" Nangong Jue was more concerned about the matter of that cheatbook, saying that he was not curious at all It was fake, and he could quickly complete the cheats in an hour, he had never heard of it, and any cheats needed to spend time, energy and internal strength when cultivating, but according to what He Lao said, he felt that the cheats had magic power, and it would automatically merge into people's bodies, but in the end, it would be at the cost of backlash.
"When we meet the Ghost Pine and the Pandan Fairy tomorrow, we will have some assessments and so on...... Ahem, you get the idea. "Bai Yuzhu actually brought Nangong Jue back with such a boiling blood, and there are still some things that he didn't tell him, that is, it is not so easy to be the pavilion master of the Black Moon Pavilion, and the assessment is a must.
Bai Yuzhu was still a little worried in his heart, after all, the assessment of the Black Moon Pavilion was a bit too difficult, and it was not to compete with anything, it was purely to have a big adventure there.
"Oh." Nangong is definitely not a fool, entering a strict and large-scale organization like the Black Moon Pavilion, and being the pavilion master, it is definitely impossible without a test, and he is not surprised by what Bai Yuzhu said.
"You must have faith, right? Hehe. Bai Yuzhu said with a smile.
"No faith." Nangong Jue replied simply, which made Bai Yuzhu's face stagnate: "You're not kidding, are you?" ”
"No kidding." Nangong Jue said again, along the way, the various mechanisms on the mountain are ingenious, and he may not be able to break through, even the defense is so exquisite, not to mention the various challenges that test the future pavilion master, he is not sure that he can pass through.
The chopsticks in Bai Yuzhu's hand trembled, he saw Nangong Jue's strength in his eyes, even if it was not revealed, but his eyes were very sharp, so he couldn't see it, if Nangong Jue let him down, wouldn't he have to run back to find Baili Wuyang again? That's what he's most afraid of!
Nangong Jue is a cold-tempered person like Baili Wuyang, but Nangong will never scold him and bombard him away, at most he will not bird him, in order to win over Nangong Jue, he has not persuaded Baili Wuyang during this time, how embarrassing will it be to go back?
