Chapter 455: Traces (I heard that the big push has to be added to have good luck)
"Master Hou, that old man is telling me to wait, this road is so narrow and steep, how can I ride a horse through it?"
Three miles away from the village, sure enough, under a steep cliff that suddenly emerged, I saw a giant pine that needed more than ten people to hug, the bark exploded like a ravine, the branches were thick and knotted, and the layers were divided into seven or eight layers, each cluster of pine needles was like a sharp arrow, the roots were shiny and sharp, one side of the trunk was flattened, and a zigzag pattern was engraved on it, which seemed to be a word but not a word, and a picture was not a picture, but it was basically unrecognizable after a long time.
At this time, a group of people all rode their horses and stopped on the side of the giant pine, looking at an extremely steep and rugged path below and the roar of the water below, Bai Zhen's face kept shaking.
This road is not said to be horseback riding, even if you walk, you are terrified, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and fall to pieces.
Chen Xu's face jumped involuntarily, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Bai, this road seems to be indeed difficult to walk, for the sake of safety, we will divide into two roads again, you take your subordinates to continue to search along Fangcai's village, and I will go down this path with ...... gently."
"No! Zhen was entrusted by His Majesty to protect Hou Ye, how can I let you go into danger alone, since Hou Ye insists on taking this road, I will follow half of it, and the rest of the people will continue to explore along the road of Fang Cai! Bai Zhen directly interrupted Chen Xu's words.
"It's good!" Chen Xu nodded, there are naturally a lot of wild beasts such as tigers, wolves, bears and other beasts in the deep mountains and mountains, and roars can be heard everywhere along the way, so naturally he doesn't dare to hold it up, otherwise Yu Wuya won't find it, and he will lose the feces of a beast to his grandmother's house.
The soldiers were divided into two roads again, one way fifty people were led by a forbidden army commander to turn back along the path of Fangcai again, and the remaining fifty forbidden troops followed Bai Zhen, Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou, all dismounted and led the horses down the steep and narrow path to the mountain stream.
An hour later, a group of people walked slowly and cautiously, and finally walked down this rugged and steep mountain road step by step to the bottom of the valley, and then saw a canyon full of flowers, a spring and waterfall, a deep pool of green and turquoise, in the mist floating with the wind, the cool and cold breath made people instantly can't help but hit a few pendulums, and the spirit shook clean and transparent with these pendulums.
Chen Xu looked up at the steep mountain walls that were less than five zhang wide on both sides and the line of sky, his face calmed down and said, "It seems that this is the Tiger Leaping Gorge that the old man said!" ”
"It should be good, the old man said that it is less than forty miles away from Luyang through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, if what he said is right, this road is indeed more than half closer than the road above the canyon!" Bai Zhen also nodded and said.
"Rest and drink, rest for a while, and set off!" Chen Xu commanded.
"Huh~" A group of forbidden soldiers hurriedly dispersed, some went to Tan to drink, some took out dry food and nibbled a few bites, and some sat on the stones and took off their boots.
"Come and see Duwei, I have picked up a jade pendant here!" A soldier lying on the edge of the pool washing his face and drinking water suddenly shouted, and Chen Xu and Shui ran over gently.
"This is Senior Brother's jade pendant, I saw it a few days ago!" The water is gentle and delightful.
And this jade pendant Chen Xu also knows, the whole body is snow-white like mutton fat, the workmanship is exquisite, it was won by Yu Wuya from Fusu when he played mahjong, and then Fusu didn't want to go back, Yu Wuya naturally smiled happily, and kept it on his body.
"Brother Yu really took this shortcut, and it is estimated that he was also left behind when he rested here, it seems that he will definitely be able to find his whereabouts if he continues to pursue it from here!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and put away the jade pendant and said.
Shui gently looked up at the rugged path that had just come down and hung on the steep cliff like a natural danger, and said with a little puzzlement: "Although Senior Brother likes to explore dangerous places, if there is no one to guide him, I am afraid he will not find this road!" ”
"You're saying someone directed him down this path?" Chen Xu was surprised.
Shui nodded softly: "When I went up the mountain, my senior brother was only sixteen years old, although Lushan is very close to here, but he has never been to such a far mountain alone, and occasionally he goes down the mountain with his master or with a few senior brothers, I think no one will know about this road except for the mountain people here!" ”
"Could it be that the old man just deceived me and waited?" Bai Zhen couldn't help but ask.
"Probably not, maybe someone else, go! Hurry up~" Chen Xu said while leading the horse.
"Quick, keep up!" Bai Zhen didn't have time to drink water and rest, he yelled a few times, and all the forbidden troops who had just begun to rest got up and walked out of the valley together.
The canyon is not long, go down the stream, walk out of two or three miles and gradually open up in front of you, the mountains on both sides are still steep, but you can already see the surrounding mountains and canyons, the clouds and mist are shrouded in the lofty mountains, the ancient pines and strange vines hang on the cliffs, the strange flowers and plants, there are birds singing and apes crying everywhere, it seems to be like entering the fairyland.
A group of people rode their horses and stopped for a moment to observe the situation.
Shui gently looked at the surrounding peaks, hesitated for a while, and then pointed to the highest peak in the east and said, "Chen Lang, that mountain seems to be Lu Mountain!" ”
Everyone looked in the direction that the water was pointing softly, and found that the peak was in and out of the flowing clouds, and below it was a large mountain, full of bare steep rock walls and hanging waterfalls and streams, although the distance in a straight line was not more than ten miles, but it was estimated that it would take a whole day to walk through the vast mountain and climb to the top.
Chen Xu's face couldn't help twitching a few times.
Nima Xiuxian asked how people like to live on such a high mountain, do they feel that the immortals in the sky are closer, and they are not afraid of the lack of oxygen in the mountains to hallucinate?
Chen Xu was very helpless, but now that he had seen Lu Shan, he was slowly relieved.
Maybe Shui Qingrou guessed wrong, Yu Wuya should know that this road is the closest, as for him not going back for so long, maybe Chi Songzi and Yi Shengjia are not on the mountain, he is still waiting......
Continuing to move forward, Chen Xu could only keep comforting and relieving himself like this.
For Yu Wuya, he is very respectful and affectionate.
Although Yu Wuya is nearly ten years older than him, he has been practicing in the mountains since he was a child, almost living an isolated life, with a simple mind and no scheming, he likes to travel around in curiosity, and his ideas are very simple, but he values love and righteousness, and lives an extremely boring life with himself, but he has never complained at all, and it can be seen from the assassination of Zhao Gao with the heart of death that he is a truly heroic and chivalrous man who keeps his promises.
Although sometimes his ideas are a little out of the box, it shows his uninhibited temperament.
Although he is greedy for food and often does some ridiculous things, it is also in line with his simple and open-minded mind.
In the past two years, Chen Xu has always treated him as a big brother, in Chen Xu's heart, Yu Wuya, like his own family, is a kind of motivation for him to survive in Daqin, so Chen Xu would rather have something to do with himself, and definitely don't want Yu Wuya to have something to do.
Regardless of whether Yu Wuya is safe or not, it seems that after returning to Xianyang this time, he must make a break with Zhao Gao, otherwise he will continue to drag on like this, maybe one day Zhao Gao will put his hand on his relatives, whether it is Chen Jiang's, Xing'er, Shui Qingrou or Yu Wuya was plotted by Zhao Gao, it will definitely become a pain and regret that cannot be erased for a lifetime.
Therefore, it is more appropriate and safe for Zhao Gao to be killed as soon as possible.
Walking slowly along a rugged, narrow mountain path full of thorns, Chen Xu's mind slowly stabilized, and his face slowly calmed down.
Nearly half an hour passed, and I walked along a canyon to a slightly flat wood, and suddenly the cry of the forbidden army came from the front: "Come and see, there are traces of a fight here!" ”
Chen Xu couldn't help but feel nervous, and then he and Shui Qingrou rode their horses past the guards in front of them almost at the same time, and Bai Zhen also hurriedly followed.
Sure enough, under the guidance of a few soldiers, there were messy horseshoe footprints and some broken branches and thorns in the shallows of a stream, and there were traces of a fight in a radius of several feet, and these broken branches and thorns had obviously withered, obviously left over a few days or even more than ten days ago.
"Quick, search around!" With a wave of Bai Zhen's hand, the fifty forbidden troops quickly dispersed and searched near the stream and woodland.
"Captain, ...... over here"
"Captain, there are also traces of broken thorns here......"
"Captain, there is blood here......"
Soon, the sounds of the forbidden army came from all around, and Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou also hurriedly looked back and forth at these places one by one, and they both saw that they were extremely worried from each other's eyes.
"Master Hou, judging from the broken branches and thorns, the time should have been at least seven or eight days ago, and judging from the messy situation around us, there should be a lot of people involved in the fight, maybe Brother Yu was ambushed here, as for the victory or defeat or life and death, it is still unclear!"
"Continue to expand the search area to see if there are any traces of leaving or other items left behind!" Chen Xu said in a deep voice.
"Huh~" Bai Zhen turned around and commanded a few words, and the fifty forbidden soldiers expanded the search area around again, and soon there was a shout again.
"Captain, there is a path in the forest, with traces of horses' hooves, that seems to lead to the southwest mountain!"
"Let's go, keep up!" Chen Xu turned over and got on the horse.
"Keep up and protect Master Hou!" Bai Zhen also roared and rode his horse to follow, and Shui Qing's face was cold, and there was a hidden brilliance and tears rolling in his eyes.
It is a more rugged and difficult mountain road, which twists and turns upwards and seems to lead to the summit of the mountain.
Although Chen Xu was anxious, he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and slowly searched the mountain under the protection of Bai Zhen and a group of forbidden soldiers, but it seemed that there was only one way up the mountain, and there were reports from soldiers along the way, and the moss and flowers on the road had traces of horseshoe trampling.
"Master Hou, don't worry, maybe the mountain bandits gathered here will go down the mountain to rob the wealth, Brother Yu's martial arts are world-famous, maybe he has already occupied the mountain as the king and is reluctant to go back!" Bai Zhen jokingly comforted Chen Xu and said.
"No, Brother Yu must have been injured!" Chen Xu shook his head.
He knows Yu Wuya's temperament, although he is uninhibited in doing things, he can definitely distinguish the priorities, this kind of thing will definitely not happen to him in his life, and this Nima can no longer be in the deep mountains and old forests of the mountain, which blind mountain bandit will occupy the mountain and rob in this place? The road from Tiger Leaping Gorge is inaccessible, and a path is completely covered with thorns and weeds, and you can't find it at all if you don't look carefully, and you can only starve to death if you live by robbery.
Therefore, Chen Xu judged that Yu Wuya must have met a master who was different from ordinary bandits, and there was a big question mark about whether these people were sent by Zhao Gao?
Because Zhao Gao has been an official in Xianyang, it is unlikely that he will still raise a nest of bandits in this Funiu Mountain.
