Chapter 185: The Strange Wolf Mountain
After everything was ready, Rong Huazheng rode a horse and set off quickly, because she knew that Yu Wenxuan had sent a lot of people to look for her, so she had to be careful, so even the route she took was not taken by ordinary people.
Before setting off, Rong Hua Zheng deliberately paid people to draw the necessary route and the shortest route from Snow City on Kyoto Road, and after figuring out all the routes, Rong Hua Zheng reassembled the route given to her by the man she met in the tavern tavern to find a suitable route to hide.
Because the journey from Kyoto to Syracuse was really long, although Ronghua Zheng rode a horse, but because the road she walked went in circles, the journey was even farther, even if she traveled day and night, she walked for almost 20 days before reaching the so-called city near Syracuse.
Maybe it's because the land near Syracuse is really fertile, the neighboring cities of Syracuse are very rich, the food and drink on the streets, and the pedestrians on the road are very well dressed, although they are not as good as those in Kyoto, but the streets she saw along the way are more prosperous, and the faces of the people are much better.
"It seems that the people here are doing well, and there shouldn't be any snow wolves who will come out to cause evil." Rong Hua Zheng sat on horseback and looked at the pedestrians on the road, and thought.
In the past twenty days, Rong Hua Zheng was almost discovered by the hidden guards several times, but fortunately she was clever, with men's clothes and a beard and a face painted wax yellow, and appeared in a different face every day, even the horse was changed to and fro, otherwise she would have been discovered.
After walking for so long, Rong Hua Zheng was already too tired to go day and night, but when she sat on horseback and looked at the tall and majestic Zhuwolf Mountain in Snow City, Rong Hua Zheng suddenly felt relaxed.
"It's finally here." She said with a relieved smile on her face.
Seeing that it was not early, she found a haode inn, planning to have a good night's rest tonight, and then set off early tomorrow.
There were a lot of people in the inn, and when Rong Huazheng went in, no one looked at her, all of them were doing their own things, only Xiao Er threw the rag on his hand to his shoulder, and bent over enthusiastically and said: "This guest officer, please inside!" ”
Rong Hua Zheng snorted, his eyes scanned around quickly and quietly, and he found that there were actually many people secretly looking at her in this scene that had nothing to do with him, and ordinary people may not feel this kind of look, but Rong Hua Zheng was a special soldier in the assassination department in his last life, and he was particularly sensitive to these camouflage and ambushes, Rong Hua Zheng was calm, holding a sword that he picked up casually, and put the burden and sword on the table of the shopkeeper with a bold movement, picked up his eyes, and said in a thick voice: "The shopkeeper, is there a guest room?" ”
The shopkeeper raised his eyes to look at Rong Hua Zheng, and after examining it without a trace, he smiled and said, "The guest officer is really lucky, there is only one room left." After that, he summoned the second leader Rong Hua Zheng to look at the room.
Rong Huazheng looked at Xiao Er, who was walking towards him, and asked with his eyelids: "Why is the inn so popular at this time?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled, and his face was slightly surprised, "But isn't it, I don't know how to pour in a large number of outsiders recently." ”
"Oh? Really? Rong Huazheng smiled, and then he wanted to say something, so the shopkeeper said: "Most of those people have similar accents to the guest officers, some are here to find people, and some want to enter Syracuse." ”
The first thing Rong Huazheng thought of when he heard the word "looking for people" was that these people might have been sent by Yu Wencan, but what did so many people want to do when they entered Syracuse?
Thinking so, Rong Hua Zheng also wanted to export, and the shopkeeper sighed: "I heard that there are people in Kyoto who need snow wolf gall and bid 500,000 taels of gold. When the shopkeeper said, he sighed, "Those people really have a problem with their brains, can the snow wolf gall be found if they are strong in martial arts, the shopkeeper I have lived here for decades, and I have never seen anyone who entered Syracuse City and came back alive." ”
Rong Hua Zheng raised her eyebrows, why did she see two?
The shopkeeper was still sighing, "And ah, now the gates of Syracuse have been ordered to close, and more than half a month ago, a holy decree came down, and the guards there have increased more than tenfold, and now even a mosquito can't fly away." ”
More than half a month ago?
Rong Huazheng sighed secretly when he heard this, and followed Xiao Er into the room in contemplation.
The layout of the inn selected by Rong Hua Zheng is relatively large, and the rooms inside are relatively large, and it is very comfortable to be humiliated, after Rong Hua Zheng ate dinner, took a hot bath and went to bed.
It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably, and when she woke up, she was a hundred times more energetic.
After breakfast, the first thing she did was to go to the gates of Syracuse to check the wind. She didn't know if she didn't go, and when she went, she found that the guards there were really very strict, whether it was on or below the city wall, rows of archers and sword and gun guards were densely lined up in several rows, the scene was extremely spectacular, several times stricter than the guards of the palace!
Rong Hua Zheng looked at the guards, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly. She will definitely not be able to break through, because looking at that battle, as long as there is a living person who wants to pass, he is afraid that those bows and arrows, knives and guns will fly over like pesticides, and he will definitely die or land on the ground at that time.
Ah, Yu Wencan is really powerful, a prince who ignores the government can make a city gate have hundreds of more guards?
What kind of idle prince is he!
Rong Huazheng thought a little unevenly.
How do you get there?
Stun those soldiers with ecstasy/drugs?
But Yu Wencan sent so many people, I was afraid that as soon as those people fell, she would be surrounded by the hidden guards before she passed. It doesn't work at all.
How should it be?
Rong Hua Zheng thought with a sigh as he walked back to the inn.
After returning to the inn, she ordered some side dishes to fill her stomach, and after a few bites, there were a lot of noisy sounds behind her.
"Well, let's see, when will the guards on the city wall retreat, and how long will we have to wait before we can enter Syracuse?"
"Wait a few more days, look at those guards are not ordinary guards, the martial arts foundation is very good, with the strength of a few of us, we can't break through at all, now we only have to wait."
"Alas, if only there were a few dozen more of us."
"Yes, but now everyone has given up and gone back, otherwise everyone can discuss and cooperate......"
Rong Hua Zheng listened to their words and suddenly thought about it.
She walked over to those people, raised her eyebrows, and said, "It turns out that your brothers are also suffering from this matter. ”
Those people looked at her after a warm voice, and Rong Huazheng smiled: "I have a plan, let's listen to it first, see if it is feasible?" ”
So, two days later, one night, about half an hour before dawn, for some unknown reason, almost all the people guarding the city gate fainted.
At that moment, more than a hundred martial arts people rushed up from the corner of the street.
The night of that day was unusually unpeaceful, and after the people of the martial arts rushed up, many people in black also secretly poured out from the shadows, following the group of people from the rivers and lakes, because there were so many people in the rivers and lakes, and one or two hundred people in black could surround them.
The hundreds of people in the rivers and lakes didn't know what was going on, and watched those black-clothed people who were much stronger than them quickly surround them, and then examined their faces one by one.
After examining everyone, they didn't see the person they were looking for, and suddenly a feeling of uneasiness came to their hearts, but they didn't know where this uneasiness came from.
When they returned, the leader of the men in black ordered the guards to be placed, and then sent people to surround the city gate and the city wall again.
After doing these things, suddenly a man in black came to report: "Chief, I found horse footprints in a secret place on the east side of the city wall!" ”
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his hands and feet began to feel cold...... I don't mean to cut it.
When the man in black began to catch up, Rong Huazheng had been riding a horse in the dark for almost half an hour. 17904762
And in the middle of more than half an hour, the sky was already bright.
Looking at Zhuwolf Mountain, which was getting closer and closer to him, Rong Hua Zheng was proud: "Alas, the trick of striking the east and the west is really useful enough." ”
It turned out that Rong Huazheng's plan was nothing more than a sound attack.
Originally, more and more people from the rivers and lakes were leaving, and Rong Hua Zheng made a plan to say that she had a way to make all the guards faint, but the premise for her to do so was that those people from the rivers and lakes must gather about a hundred people, and they must run out of the city gate at the same time......
She guessed that the guards would think that she must be one of those Jianghu people, and then they all ran to stop those Jianghu people, and then she took advantage of this time to sneak away from the most secret part of the city wall.
Rong Hua Zheng can see the tall Zhuwolf Mountain after going out of the city gate, from a distance, Zhuwolf Mountain is very majestic, and it looks like there is no trace of wild grass or other things, the white expanse on it, all white snowflakes.
After making sure that they wouldn't be able to catch up so quickly, Rong Hua Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the snow here hadn't melted yet.
After passing the city gate, there was a barren clearing all around, because it was spring at this time, and it had not snowed for a long time, and the snow in the clearing had melted, and the ground was sparse ice water and soft soil, and she rode her horse all the way for two or three hours in a row.
She walked according to the route given to her by the man before, but she didn't know weishenme, she always felt that the more she walked, the more wrong it became, she originally felt that Zhuwolf Mountain was getting closer and closer, but it didn't seem to be like this, two hours before she walked, Zhuwolf Mountain was getting closer and closer, but she walked behind, but she always felt that the distance had not changed at all.
"What's going on?" Rong Hua Zheng paused and dismounted, looked down at the route in his hand, and felt very strange, "If you have almost arrived according to the way you go here, why do you always feel that the distance is still so far?" ”
She carefully studied the route in her hand, and then looked up at the seemingly distant Zhuwolf Mountain, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with the route......
"That's weird......" She checked the drawings in her hand, and suddenly felt as if the route had changed from what she had just seen.
She suspected that her eyes were glazed, and she shook her eyes, and then looked down again, as if they had changed back to their original appearance.
"Am I hallucinating in my eyes?" Rong Huazheng stared at the drawings in his hand with dead eyes and muttered to himself.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, let's go!" Rong Hua Zheng put the road map paper in his hand back in his arms, grabbed the reins, and raised his head to move on.
However, it was okay that she didn't look up, but as soon as she looked up, she was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of her!
Originally, she thought that there were thousands of miles of Zhuwolf Mountain...... Suddenly appeared in front of her eyes?!
Rong Hua Zheng has never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, her whole body was cold, and every piece of skin on her body had goosebumps!
"This ...... It seems to be too scary, it's not a ghost movie......" she was still in the mood to joke at this time.
Looking at the Zhuwolf Mountain that appeared in front of her, after Rong Hua Zheng was frightened, she wiped a handful of sweat behind her, and looked up, where she was about five hundred meters away from the foot of Zhuwolf Mountain.
She remembered that the man said that he had seen a snow wolf with ruby-like eyes about a thousand meters away from Zhuwolf Mountain, and she ...... Why didn't you see it?
Biting her lip, she decided to ride forward a little more.
After continuing to walk for two or three hundred meters, Zhuwolf Mountain was in front of her, but she didn't see any snow wolves, and her sense of hearing and smell was extremely sensitive, and she couldn't feel the slightest smell of beasts.
Rong Hua Zheng raised her head to look at the nearest Zhuluo Mountain, and found that the snow at the foot of the mountain was not deep, and strangely there was a mountain road paved with neat large stones not far from her, Rong Hua Zheng's intuition told her that she could easily go up the mountain through this mountain road.
Between going up the mountain or waiting for the snow wolf below, Rong Hua Zheng thought for two seconds and immediately chose the former.
Waiting for the rabbit is not her style of doing things, besides, now that the snow under the mountain is so thin, there may never be a snow wolf coming down the mountain again, and maybe there will be no snow wolf on the mountain. Therefore, she actually wanted to try her luck when she went up the mountain to see if she could meet the snow wolf who came out for a walk.
After Rong Hua Zheng figured it out, she originally wanted to ride a horse to see if she could go to the mountain, but just as she continued to ride the horse for about a hundred meters, the horse suddenly seemed to be crazy, and suddenly turned around and wanted to go back!
"Phew! Stop it! Rong Hua Zheng was baffled by the horse's reaction, pulling the reins very hard, watching the horse take her farther and farther, she gritted her teeth, carried the burden on the horse's back on her shoulders, and patted the horse's back and put the reins on the horse's back to get out of the horse's back with light work.
After Rong Hua Zheng broke off the horse's back, the horse ran faster in an instant.
Rong Huazheng watched the horse walk for a while, watched him walk seven or eight hundred meters, and suddenly the horse disappeared?!
"No, it won't be that evil, right?" Rong Huazheng's heart was cold and a little apprehensive.
She recognized it, and that location happened to be the location where she found that Xuwolf Mountain was suddenly in front of her!
And the horse she was riding suddenly disappeared there?!
What's going on?!
Rong Huazheng looked at such an evil scene, and suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have said that no one could really go back to Zhuwolf Mountain......
Isn't that the reason?
Rong Huazheng shuddered in his heart.
She shrunk her neck, grabbed the burden on her shoulders, looked at the direction where the horse disappeared for a while, and then wanted to see the stone road, and wondered whether she should go up or not, but just turned around, her pupils shrank, and she screamed: "Ah! ”
"Why is the little girl making such a fuss?" An old voice sounded in Rong Huazheng's ears.
Rong Hua Zheng kicked quickly, and retreated several meters at once, before she was about to turn back, and found that the face she saw was still at the same distance as herself!
Rong Huazheng was worried, and her lips trembled a little, but she desperately told herself that there are no ghosts in this world, no ghosts......
As if she were self-hypnotizing, she closed her eyes for a few seconds before she calmed down.
After she explained herself, her courage came back, and she decided to take the lead and said to the man fiercely: "Who are you!" ”
That person was only wearing a simple blue and white robe in the snowflakes of Zhuwolf Mountain, and he didn't see him cold, and his face was unusually good. It is worth mentioning that this person is an old man, and I don't know how old he is, all the hair on his body is white, hair, eyebrows, and beard are all white, but a pair of eyes are bright, and there is no turbidity at all. ”
Rong Hua Zheng didn't know how to hear this, so she wasn't so afraid, she snorted and didn't answer, and then looked at the road she came from again, and was dumbfounded again, she couldn't see the horse and her own footprints?
Uncanny!
It's so weird!
She could still see the footprints of herself and the horse!
Rong Hua snorted, and the old man smiled happily again, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
Rong Huazheng looked back at him, squinted his eyes and seriously looked at his whole body, and found that he had an extra cane in his hand at some point. The crutches are unusually smooth, and the wood of the crutches is very beautiful, and I like Ronghua Zheng very much.
However, Rong Huazheng has not forgotten another thing, "Where did you come from?" Why is there no sound at all? And she didn't even feel the existence of qi at all, and now when she talked to him, she found that his qi was also ethereal.
Rong Huazheng didn't see him as some kind of ghost, she didn't believe it.
The old man stretched out his hand and stroked a white beard that reached to his chest, squinted his eyes and said unusually profoundly: "Come from where you should come, and those who have it in their hearts will have it, and if they don't have it in their hearts, they will have nothing." ”
Rong Huazheng's face darkened, dare to love that this person in front of him is a philosopher?
The old man saw that Rong Hua Zheng was silent, and he regretted it, and he said: "Little girl, are you going up the mountain?" Do you want to go to the old man's house and sit down? ”
Rong Huazheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, he circled around the old man, and scanned him from head to toe, seeing that he really didn't look like a bad person, nor like a ghost, he paused, and his voice softened and said, "Grandpa, what's your name?" Living in the mountains? ”
Rong Huazheng actually had a little intention to ask this, if the old man lived in a mountain full of snow wolves, then his martial arts should be very high, then he should have to eat in his life, and then ...... Will there be ready-made snow wolf galls?!
Rong Huazheng thought very beautifully, and the old man smiled and said: "The little girl's brain is not too flexible, obviously the old man asked you first, but you haven't answered yet, but you asked the old man first." ”
Rong Hua Zheng secretly stuck out his tongue, feeling that he was really rude like this, so he replied obediently: "Grandpa, my name is Rong Hua Zheng, and now I will go to Xiangshang Mountain." As for whether or not to come to your house to sit, it depends on where your house is. ”1d7Qu。
The smile on the old man's face didn't stop, and he sighed when he heard the words: "Rong Huazheng is so angry." sighed, and then said: "You just call the old man Xiguang old man, old man, my home is on it, I don't know if you agree with you?" ”
In, on it?!
When Rong Huazheng heard this, his eyes widened.
Isn't the snow wolf rampant in Zhuwolf Mountain, and he, an old man, actually set up a home in the place where the snow wolf haunts?
Isn't that a little too incredible?
After Rong Huazheng was surprised, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, if Grandpa Xiguang doesn't mind, then I'll bother!" "Anyway, if the ghosts or gods are not good for her, she can't hide from them, so she just let her guard down and relax her nerves.
Thinking like this, she was suddenly not afraid of life, nor was she afraid that people were ghosts and gods, so she walked into the old man with a smile, put her arms around the old man, and said, "Grandpa Xiguang, where are you going?" ”
The old man was hugged by Rong Hua Zheng like this, his old face was stunned, red, and then smiled, and said: "It's still a zither girl, I'm not afraid of life, okay, it's really good......"
Rong Huazheng listened to his praise again and again, coughed twice, and urged: "Let's go, let's go, grandpa, do you have something to eat there?" She had not eaten breakfast, but had ridden her horse for several hours, and she was almost a piece of paper.
"Go this way." The old man pointed to the stone path, and replied to Rong Hua Zheng as he walked, "That's naturally there." ”
When Rong Huazheng heard this, he smiled again, and obediently helped the old man up the mountain.
In fact, Rong Huazheng really wanted to ask the old man Xiguang about the snow wolf, but she didn't know Weishenme, she always felt that it was not the right time to ask, so she had to chat about family life while walking, "Grandpa Xiguang, do you live in the mountains with your family?" ”
"No, the old man lives alone." The old man Xiguang enjoyed the support of Ronghua Zheng very much, and his bright eyes were full of smiles.
Rong Huazheng was shocked again, thinking that his family should become food for the snow wolf, right?
As soon as she had this idea, she felt that it was wrong, the old man must have been very good at kung fu, his kung fu is so good, then the family should be very powerful, and it should not be eaten by the snow wolf so easily.
Thinking about it, she changed the subject, "Grandpa Xiguang, how long have you lived here?" ”
"How long has it been?" The old man of Xiguang was obviously asked by Rong Huazheng, and he was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's been a long time." ”
Rong Huazheng didn't hear the specific number, he was a little puzzled, and he didn't ask about it anymore, pulling and pulling the scenery of other Zhuwolf Mountain
