Seventy-five
In the early morning, the white belly of the fish looms in the east, and the morning light returns to the earth. The cold of the night gradually subsided, and the reckless mountain forest gradually emerged from the darkness of the night, revealing its majestic undulating silhouette.
This year's Liaodong is particularly cold, even though it is late May, Yue Xiang, who has survived all night, still can't help rubbing his body. He was only wearing a single coat, and his coat was all taken off and covered for Xiao Wan. Although Xiao Wan has thaumaturgy, she has never practiced martial arts, and although her body is healthy, she is just an ordinary woman, and she can't be that kind of cold at night.
And he was born with a physical ability that was different from ordinary people, and although the cold at night was heavy, he could withstand it. Besides, a martial arts master like him has practiced internal skills. As long as it is not as depleted as Goat Yubao, you only need to meditate and breathe at night to gradually recover your energy, and you basically don't need to sleep.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that Wang Yining was also sitting cross-legged and meditating, but his eyes were open, looking at him, he was obviously aware of his movements at the same time.
"Chicken Sichen, dog vigil. You're a good worker. "Anyone who has practiced internal skills to a certain extent will be much sharper than usual in various body functions after entering the state of meditation, and the subtle movements within a certain range around them will not escape their perception, just like the sensitivity of animals. This is a unique skill that cannot be possessed by a qigong master. Yue Xiang is a person who knows the goods, and he can see at a glance that Wang Yining's ability is absolutely genuine.
"Hehe, don't you dare to be, aren't you okay." Wang Yining laughed strangely, not caring at all. He also understands Yue Xiang's ability, and he believes that Yue Xiang has also reached a level.
"Hmph, when we started fighting yesterday, you kept pretending to be dead and didn't do anything. I didn't spend much energy, but I'm afraid you'd have woken up a long time ago. Damn, no wonder that Jurchen soldier chased you with a knife, and he couldn't catch up with a lame man, and he ran really fast. ”
"A few small soldiers, how can they be your Yue Ziyi's opponents. I don't want to steal your limelight, you blame me. Besides, you have extraordinary talents, and your vitality recovers extremely quickly, how can this be compared to me? If it was me, I was injured by you, and I was poisoned and tossed for so long and then for so long, and now I will definitely not recover. ”
"How many bezoar dog treasures do you still have on you that haven't been revealed?" Yue Xiang actually figured out the feelings that he only understood last night Wang Yining has good martial arts, and he doesn't see this meaning that he can't practice for ten or eight years, and he didn't see it when he called him a brother and a brother.
But he doesn't have a pimple about it, everyone has their own ** and secrets, everyone has things they don't want to tell others, and he himself is even more so.
His trust in Wang Yining has not diminished because of this, and he talked to Wang Yining very late last night, and he already knew that Wang Yining was indeed interested in Gao Huai Zangjin, but it was not that kind of worldly interest, but mostly out of curiosity. The adventurous process of finding Gao Huai Zangjin itself has already satisfied Wang Yining, he is the kind of person who plays the world.
Moreover, after learning about the situation of the White Lotus Seven Treasures, Wang Yining's interest obviously shifted to that again.
So he is not worried that Wang Yining will be unfavorable to him, at least not at present.
And Wang Yining also has his own ideas, he originally wanted to find Gao Huai's hidden gold, and then see what the Donglin Party can use this money to transform the country into. But now, he has changed his mind.
Because he found that although Yue Xiang's words flickered everywhere, he could feel that there was something very indescribable hidden in his heart, it was a terrible ambition or maybe a great ambition, in short, something strange to himself.
He hadn't noticed this in Yue Xiang before. He intuitively thought that the Yue Ziyi in front of him seemed to have been reborn as a different person, and he was no longer the son and brother who only knew how to hunt with rangers. He had a hunch that once the unknown monster hidden in Yue Xiang's heart was released, the entire world would change color.
He hadn't had this premonition for a long time, and although he couldn't explain it, he knew that this strange power had existed in his body since he was born. Although he couldn't control this power, and only occasionally had a flash of inspiration, he knew that this hunch was never wrong.
He thought it might be some kind of face-to-face ability, but he couldn't say what it was. He studied the I Ching and found no answer. He also practiced qigong and meditated on himself, hoping to examine himself through the legendary "iQue Inner Vision", but to no avail. He even wondered if some star in the sky had descended to live in his body, but in the end he put aside his boring fantasies.
He had never told anyone about this kind of thing, not even his closest family members. Later, he finally figured out that I was born to be useful, and since God gave him this ability, it must be his intention, and he just had to go with the flow.
He felt that the premonition of encountering Yue Xiang suddenly appeared, indicating that this was a hint from God.
Yue Xiang stood up, his physical strength had recovered. And Xiaowan was tired all day yesterday, and she slept very deeply at night, and when she woke up, her hands and feet were sore, and it was difficult to sit up. However, after Yue Xiang pushed and massaged her, it was greatly reduced. She also knew that now was not the time to complain, so she gritted her teeth and got up on the road.
"Hey, what do you two do next?" Yue Xiang shouted to Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai. They didn't do anything last night, sitting under the tree like soulless zombies all night.
Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai themselves didn't think it through, they went to Liaodong for a few years, just for one purpose, to find the treasure of King Ming in Gao Huai's hidden gold, but the suicide note left by Gao Huai on the map in the secret room, they knew that the purpose had been defeated, and their efforts in the past few years were in vain.
According to the treasure map left by Gao Huai, the Seven Treasures of King Ming did exist, and Gao Huai also figured out which seven treasures they were. However, most of the so-called Seven Treasures were proved to be fakes used to deceive people's minds, and the real and only treasure among them was a red horse whip, which was called No Whip.
This whip is one of the legendary Seven Treasures of King Ming, which is said to have been owned by Xu Da back then. Later, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did not know how to get this whip, and played a big role in the later battle of Jingjing.
But after the defeat of Jindeshi, Gao Huai did not take over the treasure, according to the results of his investigation. Jin Deshi himself was a Jurchen Yuding, and later in the face of the encirclement and suppression of superior officers and soldiers, he could not hold on and wanted to flee abroad. And he has been active among the Jurchen tribes for a long time, and he is quite popular, and one of the Jurchen tribes promised to secretly accept him, so he tried to secretly disguise himself and sneak across the border at the cost of offering no whip.
Unexpectedly, the news leaked in the end, and he was blocked by officers and soldiers on the edge of the Great Wall near Fushun Pass, and was finally killed. And the whipless one also fell into the hands of the Jurchen tribal leader.
Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai didn't know what to do at the moment, although the existence of the treasure had been confirmed, but it was in the hands of the Jurchens. With the two of them, they simply have no power to enter the Jurchen realm to hunt for treasures. It can be said that they have now completely failed, and even lost a sense of direction in the future.
The two stood up blankly, their eyes empty, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
Yue Xiang looked at them with a little pity, in fact, he had seen the treasure map himself and knew these things. And there is one thing that he cares about very much, because the Jurchen tribe that promised to accept Jindeshi was the Jianzhou Jurchen. He wondered if this was a conspiracy hatched by Nurhachi.
For Nurhachi, Kim Deshi may have been an unstable factor, and perhaps he had no intention of accepting him at all. After Nurhachi had given him the gift he had given him when he received Jinde, he betrayed him and handed him over to the officers and soldiers, killing two birds with one stone.
But I don't know what kind of profound mana the legendary whip has, and Gao Huai didn't understand it. Yue Xiang was a little unimpressed with this matter, Yan Wang Jing was difficult in what kind of life, how could you Gao Huai know what happened more than a hundred years ago? And it's written so vaguely that I really don't know what kind of mentality it is.
"Well, I'll explain it to you. Seeing that the two of you are also more honest along the way, and you have also made a lot of contributions, I will give you a way to live, and from now on I swear to follow me and never betray, I will naturally not treat you badly. In the future, if there is a clue about this Ming King Qibao, I can help you, Lao Tzu will never break his word. If you don't agree, then I can only be sorry, I don't want the rumors of Gao Huai's hidden gold map to leak out now, so I have to bury the two of you here. These are the two paths, choose for yourselves! ”
As long as this kind of thing is not a problem with the brain, they know how to choose, and now Ma and Li are very at a loss about the future, and they subconsciously need to personally lead them through this difficult period, plus they have been used to listening to errands under Yue Xiang in the past two years; When it comes to using force, the two know that they are not Yue Xiang's opponents, and Yue Xiang's physical fitness has recovered almost quickly, and they are far from reaching their best state, which makes them even more lost. What's more, they just knew that the inconspicuous Wang Yining turned out to be a hidden master.
They had sworn no longer to fight Gao Huai Zangjin, and for them, the oath was sacred. And Yue Xiang also seemed to be a boss worth following, so he swore again without hesitation.
"Then let's go,......" Yue Xiang and the others walked out of the mountain nest and walked south along the mountain road. Ma and Li perked up a little, holding a Pu knife in front to open the way, and Yue Xiang and the other three were behind. Xiaowan walked very hard, because her legs and feet were still sore, and Yue Xiang had to help her walk.
No one has ever walked this road, and it doesn't look like it's a regular place to pass. There were rocks and trees everywhere, surrounded by large areas of towering dense forests, and Yue Xiang didn't know if the road they were taking was the way out of the mountain, so he had to judge the direction while walking.
"This is a broken road, it's best to find a few horses......" Yue Xiang frowned, feeling that Xiao Wan was really dragging down the speed. But this is his wife, and he can't leave her alone. Besides, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid that several of them would have all died in the mechanism under the ruined temple.
"Where can I find horses in these barren mountains? He said something idiotic. Wang Yining was also looking around while walking, and when he was impatient, he heard Ma Sandao, who was opening the road in front, shouting: "My lord, the front is the valley mouth, let's go down the mountain!" ”
When the three of them heard this, they immediately came to their senses, and when they got closer, they saw that it was the exit of the valley, and then down the gentle slope of more than 100 meters down the mountain, it was flat land, and it seemed that they could see the Pu River in the distance.
"Finally escaped......" Yue Xiang let out a sigh of relief, and several people next to him showed heartfelt smiles of relief on their faces, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to experience the round-up of tens of thousands of troops. Heading south should be Fu'an Fort, and it's safe to walk there. Let's see if we can get a few horses there......"
As a result, Yue Xiang's horse character had just exited, and suddenly he heard a neighing of a war horse overhead, and a thunderbolt sounded in his ears, and a wild military spirit swept in!
Murderous! The hairs on his body stood up, and before he could react, he heard a sound pierce the sky, and countless screams spread down into the air. He subconsciously used his body to block Xiao Wan, and the sword had already shot, and dozens of plum needle arrows accurately fell on the feet around them, just forming a circle to surround them.
Looking up, Yue Xiang's hands and feet were suddenly cold, and the muscles in his whole body were tense.
The hills on both sides of the valley mouth seemed to suddenly emerge from the ground, and at some point they were lined up with dense cavalry, each holding a sword and a bow, condescendingly eyeing at each other, and it seemed that there could be as many as a hundred people. And their armor and outfits are all too familiar to them: red clothes and red armor, red flags!
They were surrounded......
