Chapter 43: Star Picking Tower
Xue Yun saw that his senior brother Hou Wanfeng refused to say what happened to Fang Cai, so it was inconvenient for him to ask any more, so he only asked where it was and what was the steep road?
Hou Wanfeng said: "Senior brother, you are on the wrong path. It was a dead end, and the terrain was low, like the bottom of a basin. The Orions often used that piece of Jedi to catch beasts, driving the chasing monsters into the valley, and none of them could escape. That section of the hill is called Fushi Gang. After Fushigang, it is Wan Songping, it is the place with the best scenery, and then go down to the southeast, to Yingchou Ridge, there is a single-plank bridge from the back of Yingchou Ridge to cross a mountain stream. From the single-plank bridge, it is the star-picking cliff commonly known as the land of cultivating immortals.
"This star cliff, the natives near the mountain are all said to be immortal dwellings, and there are often earth immortals and feathers there to refine and cultivate the Tao. It is as steep as the Eagle Sorrow Ridge, which is much higher than the ladder to the west peak, and the woodcutters will not climb the dangerous place, and the people who swim in the mountains will not dare to cross the single-plank bridge. There are only birds and beasts entrenched on this one, and day by day, people near the mountains regard it as a fairyland, but in fact it is a place where giant thieves hide. Three years ago, the Jiang Yang thief who shook the Purple Cloud Empire drilled the Weasel Luffy, because there were too many murders, and rewards were offered everywhere to arrest him. He fled here with his belongings, and he took a fancy to the Star Picking Cliff, so he squatted on it for three years. At that time, the residents of the nearby mountains were suspicious and did not know how many rumors were made, and they all said that there were immortals on the Star Picking Cliff. There are good Buddhas who want to be immortals, and they actually crossed the Eagle Chou Ridge at the risk and went to the Star Picking Cliff to seek immortals. Who knew that the people who went were either eaten by the demon beasts, or came back with a broken head and a swollen face. These people never complain, they only say that they have no immortal fate, their lives are small, and the immortals are unwilling to see ordinary people.
"Senior brother, how can you hide this kind of thing from us? In the third year that the big thief Drill Weasel Luffy had been hiding on it, one cloudy night, I ventured up and exposed his tricks. At the first meeting, I almost didn't move, but I hurriedly handed over the words of the same origin on the road, and I didn't turn my face when I was good at taking care of my face. Later, because his whereabouts had been revealed, although I was a Taoist person, Cobalt Weasel was not at ease, afraid of selling him, and gave me two precious ornaments, so he quietly left the Star Picking Cliff, but fortunately, after a few years of his case, the arrest was a little relaxed, and he escaped from the Purple Cloud Empire. I heard that he was ...... in the way."
Hou Wanfeng didn't say this clearly, and suddenly felt a stumble under his feet, and because of what he said, he got a little carried away and staggered out.
Xue Yun was walking side by side with Hou Wanfeng, and at the same time, he was tripped and fell to the ground, all relying on his kung fu, so he didn't hurt his face.
Hou Wan jumped up one by one, and couldn't help but greet in surprise: "Senior brother, how is it? ”
As he spoke, he took the fire fold out of the leopard's skin pouch, withdrew from the bamboo pipe, shook it in the wind, and turned around to look up. I saw a vine on the ground, and some vines and grass hung across the road. Xue Yun crawled over with a frown, looked at the ground and said, "Luck is defeated and decayed, there are all kinds of evil things! ”
Hou Wanfeng shook the fire fold with one hand, grabbed this vine with the other, and said with a sneer, "Senior brother, you see that one end of this vine is growing in the crack of the stone over there, and this one can be poked over here, especially for the two of us." ”
Speaking of this, he angrily threw the vine to the side of the road and said: "As long as the junior brother is falling, as long as he understands how he fell, don't fall nonsense." Let's go! Let's go, let's see! Let's do it twice! Do you understand?"
Speaking of this, the fire fold was picked up, inserted in the bamboo tube, put it in the leopard skin bag, and turned around, side by side with Xue Yun, touched Xue Yun with his elbow, and whispered in his ear: "Hurry up and prepare the hidden weapon." ”
Xue Yun had already seen that someone was plotting, so he silently held the flying locust stone in his hand. Hou Wanfeng, who traveled thousands of miles at night, secretly took out the shuttle dart when he set fire to the leopard skin bag. The two didn't dare to walk side by side anymore, staggered a step, Hou Wanfeng still pretended to be fine, just talked to Xue Yun without a match, and walked down secretly vigilantly, this time, the situation became more and more obviously wrong.
Xue Yun and Hou Wanfeng kept walking up to Fushigang, and Xue Yun couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, when I was whistling down just now, I heard that there was also an echo here in Fushigang, isn't it the sound of Uncle Shi and Tu and Sang's two helmsmen in this area?"
Hou Wanfeng, who traveled thousands of miles at night, sneered and said, "Uncle Lu, I estimate that he won't be able to find an idea to go back to the camp for a long time." As for the two helmsmen, if they want to answer here, how can they secretly take care of us, my junior brother Hu Tu!"
As soon as Xue Yun heard this, Senior Brother Hou Wanfeng's words simply believed that Tu and Sang were plotting against him, and it was inconvenient for him to distinguish, so he could only agree to move forward.
In front of him, he had arrived at Wansongping, and had just walked into the stone road of Cangsong Sandwich, Hou Wanfeng suddenly felt a cool breeze hit the back of his head, and said: "Not good!" Although it is not very serious, I feel that my head and face are scorching.
Hou Wanfeng's skills were agile, one turned over, and saw a black shadow sweeping towards the north of the entrance of Wansongping, Hou Wanfeng shouted: "Junior, where to go!" With a shake of his hand, the shuttle penetrated the wind dart, and a little cold star hit the black shadow.
When the dart arrived, he shrugged and swooped over with the dart. With a ding, the shuttle dart hit the trunk of a large pine tree, and then looked for the black shadow, but there was no trace.
Xue Yun also followed over and hurriedly asked, "How is Senior Brother?"
Just as this sentence fell, he suddenly heard a "click" on the crown of a tall tree behind him, and Xue Yun suddenly turned around, and a section of six or seven feet long broken branches fell from above.
Xue Yun desperately leaned over and was not smashed, but he was also swept by the treetops, and in anger, he said, "There are people in the tree!"
followed by a flying locust stone with shaking hands, and there was a "yo" sound from above. Hou Wanfeng was even more silent, shook his hand with a shuttle and dart, and a little cold star hit the canopy. I only heard the sound of the branches and leaves on the tree, but not even the flying locusts and rocks and shuttles and darts fell.
Xue Yun knew that his wrist strength would never hit behind the tree, looking at this ancient pine tree in a daze. That night, Hou Wanfeng traveled thousands of miles because the second dart was sent out, not only the empty dart was issued, and most of this dart was picked up, and tonight it had to be planted in this Wan Songping. He was so angry that he stretched out his hand to the first big tree in the north to get the dart, and just as he lifted the dart from the trunk to his hand, he suddenly heard the air shout: "Fight!"
Hou Wanfeng didn't have time to turn back, the wind of the hidden weapon had arrived in his ears, he shrank his head in his chest, squatted down, and felt a cool breeze on his scalp swept over, and with a 'Zheng' sound, a dart was nailed into the trunk of the dart again.
Hou Wanfeng looked behind him, and saw Xue Yun staring at the big tree opposite, Hou Wanfeng said: "Senior brother, put the bright spots! Look at that tree, I have a way to make the monkey cub appear." ”
After that, he stretched out his hand and picked up the dart on the trunk again, and it was actually the shuttle dart that he shot out by himself, and Hou Wanfeng couldn't help but be secretly frightened! He saw that his toes were on tiptoe, jumped over, and said to Xue Yun: "Senior brother, you only look at this side, I went around to the back of the tree, and we used the dark green to drill him back and forth to see where the monkey cub was hiding." ”
Xue Yun immediately agreed, and when he reached the back of the tree, his body fell to the ground, and before he could stand firmly, he suddenly heard the word "type" from the tree, and a hidden weapon came to him.
Xue Yun flashed suddenly, and just as he lowered his head, a black shadow of 'whoosh' swept over his head, and with a sound of 'bar', the hidden weapon hit the ground. Xue Yun still had a flying locust stone in his hand, and hurriedly turned around to follow the trail of the black shadow, but the black shadow was as fast as an arrow off the string, and it was gone at a glance, where could he hit it?
