Chapter 42 The Sound of Mountains and Rivers
Wen Xuan saw that the young man had no intention of leaving, so he called the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper came upside down, and Wen Xuan motioned for the silver money on his table. The shopkeeper happily put the money in his sleeve and asked, "Two sons, do you have any orders?"
Wen Xuan said: "Arrange an upper room for us." ”
As he spoke, Wen Xuan took out some scattered silver from his sleeve and threw it to the shopkeeper, who took the silver with a smile and said, "The second golden room is empty, please move to the third floor after the two sons finish their meal, the room has been cleaned up a long time ago and can be used at any time." ”
Wen Xuan pouted again, "This girl, is the shopkeeper familiar with it?"
The shopkeeper looked at the girl on the first floor and said, "There are often courtesans who come to perform in this store, and they also give the stage to some passing servants for free, this girl is not very familiar, but the son wants me to ask and ask?"
Wen Xuan shook his head, waved his hand, and the shopkeeper withdrew from the private room.
"Childe, this woman can ask you to go to Cui's water prison, she must be very familiar with Cui's house, is she also a member of Cui's family?"
The young man looked at Wen Xuan and then at it.
Wen Xuan said: "Okay, let's go up first." ”
The two entered the room, which was clean and exquisite, and the two sat in front of them, and Wen Xuan said: "Childe, this woman who is very much like Yanmei, since she can trick you into going to Cui's water prison, then she and Cui's must be inseparable." The people who chased and killed us along the way are also inseparable from Cui's family. “
The young man nodded, and when he saw that there was pen and ink in the room, he got up and went to the desk and wrote: Hanshan.
Wen Xuan saw it and said, "The Cui clan has gone to such great lengths to prevent us from going to Hanshan, is there anything unsightly in Hanshan?" Or is there something unsightly about the Cui clan and the Hanshan Li clan have long colluded together, and they don't want us to find out anything." ”
The boy thought about it and wrote again: Medicine snake.
Wen Xuan said: "Yes, the flying owl is all the snakes, it can be seen that it is either the Boling Cui clan, if it is the Hanshan Li clan, there is a snake technique, and the medicine snake has been refined with evil arts." However, Jiangzhou is lively, and it may be inconvenient to rashly attack us. ”
Wen Xuan said: "Childe, why don't we go in disguise now?" or you pretend to be a singer, and I play a woodcutter?"
The young man ignored Wen Xuan's bad taste, and motioned for Wen Xuan to go to bed with his eyes.
Wen Xuan pretended to be shy and said, "Ah, there is only one bed." ”
The young man couldn't help but sigh, supported his forehead with his hands, and closed his eyes to rest.
Wen Xuan said: 'It's good to wait for work, let them work hard, let's sleep first!'
Wen Xuan lay down on the bed with a big grin, and fell asleep from time to time, but he slept relatively lightly.
The morning rooster reported the dawn, the rooster crow woke up the boy and Wen Xuan at the same time, the boy walked to the window, suddenly opened the window, and at a glance, sure enough, someone was guarding the window.
Wen Xuan and the young man washed up, had breakfast, and then walked out of the Ruyi Restaurant side by side as if no one was around.
The two walked all the way, and the lively street market of last night was silent in the morning, as if last night's prosperity was like a dream, and it was shattered in the sun.
The two pinched the stealth trick again, turned down a few street corners, and the "tail" was thrown off.
Wen Xuan was a little unsatisfied, and said, "Childe, how about returning to the Jiangzhou City Night Market when we finish all these things?"
Walking to the outskirts of the city, the mountains are graceful and soft, the green water is full, and there are layers of ripples, a group of soft mountains and clear water, and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
There is a three-storey post station by the water, when the young man and Wen Xuan just passed by, they suddenly saw an old man in black quickly tumbling down from the window on the third floor, landing silently, looking at the young man and Wen Xuan, and preparing to escape. A young man in purple shouted upstairs, "Stop him!" and he also fluttered down.
Wen Xuan's hands were quick, and he grabbed the wrist of the old man in black, and the two of them pushed me to block, attacking and defending in close quarters, so exciting.
After the purple-clothed young man landed, he couldn't help but applaud when he saw Wen Xuan's moves.
The young man also drew his sword and stared at the old man in black.
Seeing that he was being besieged, the old man in black blinked his cunning eyes, and suddenly flew out of his sleeve with a thin needle and sprinkled it on the three of them.
The old man in black smiled slyly, drew his sword and stabbed at the young man, Wen Xuan hurriedly flashed in front of the young man, wanting to block this move, but he didn't want the old man to sprinkle the powder on the young man in purple.
The two of them were taken aback, and they didn't want the purple-clothed young man to calmly use his sword qi to resist each other, so he put the sword on the neck of the old man in black with a single move.
The old man in black laughed twice, but his voice was extremely young, "Qingyin, you won!
The purple-clothed man called Qingyin had no expression on his face, and said, "Killing innocent people and cultivating evil arts, this time, you can't escape." ”
At this time, another young man came from a distance, with slightly raised phoenix eyes and silky sideburns, which was very beautiful. "Qingyin, I'm late. "The sound is pleasant to the ear, like the murmuring of a brook, tinkling, like the plucking of strings, and the pearl of jade.
As soon as he saw that Qingyin had captured the old man in black, the young man with a sound like a piano cut the old man's hands behind his back, took out a dark red rope from his arms and tied it tightly, and held the other end of the rope in his hand.
The old man in black said, "Zhu Xue, you're late!" Zhu Xue ignored him, and the old man in black said unhappily: "Don't ignore me, play with me!"
Qingyin clicked on the dumb hole of the old man in black and told him to keep his mouth shut.
"Brother Xue, these two are the righteous people who helped just now. ”
The young man with a voice like the sound of a piano saluted, "I wish the snow to fall." ”
The purple-clothed young man also saluted, "In the next Qingyin." ”
The young man and Wen Xuan also bowed, and Wen Xuan said: "Under Wen Xuan, this is my friend." ”
Zhu Xue and Qingyin glanced at each other, and Zhu Xue said, "Your Excellency is the Sect Master of Wenshan Wen?"
Wen Xuan arched his hand, "It's down here." The two of them are 'Ling Feng Zhu Xue, the mountains and rivers are clear, long looking, long looking!"
The three of them laughed, all surprised by what they encountered on the way.
Wen Xuan said: "Why did the two of you arrest this old man?"
Qingyin said: "When the two of us traveled, we found that this person killed innocent people and took their lives, which was extremely cruel. He chased all the way here, this person is cunning, and he has escaped several times. Then he looked at the old man and said, "He is not an old man, and if he does not absorb the life of a living person, his countenance will gradually age." “
The old man in black was full of smugness at this time, and he wanted to say something.
Wen Xuan said: "I see, this person first attacked with a thin needle, and then sprinkled poison powder, which is exactly the same as the Boling Cui clan's recent attack on me, I estimate that he is either inseparable from the Boling Cui clan or the Hanshan Li clan." ”
Qingyin said: "Yes, we have to interrogate this 'old man' well, there must be a conspiracy behind this." ”
Zhu Xue said: "Two, farewell." Mountains and rivers meet, and there will be a period later. ”
The four of them saluted and said goodbye, and Zhu Xue took the old man in black and returned to Jiangzhou City with Qingyin.
Wen Xuan looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and said to the young man, "My uncle has mentioned these two casual cultivators many times, saying that they don't want to worship in the family, but only travel together, learn from each other, and practice together, free and easy. When I see it today, if this is the case, the heavens and the earth are big, where can't I practice?"
The boy nodded, looking very approving.
"Let's go too, and further on is the Cold Mountain Realm. ”
After walking more than ten miles, the young man stopped, and Wen Xuan also stopped. "Childe?"
The boy noticed that someone had set up a stone henge in front of him.
Wen Xuan looked around, only to see the strange rocks on the road ahead, and knew that something was wrong.
The young man jumped a few feet high, took in the stone henge from the air, and after a little silent memory and confirmation, the young man fell to the ground, drew his sword, and drew the layout of the stone henge on the ground.
