After the lion's mouth landed, it entered the territory of Liaodong.

Although Liaodong was part of the Han state, the Northern Han's control over Liaodong was more precarious than that in the northwest.

There are many mountains in the land of Liaodong, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, there are many hunters who can shoot well, the people are fierce, the Han State in order to control Liaodong, really made a lot of efforts, if it is said that in the northwest is to suppress with troops, then in Liaodong is to pacify.

The terrain of Liaodong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to completely conquer Liaodong, the cost of troops, money and food is really not a small amount, so after a few battles in Liaodong to deter, the Han State did not continue to use troops, but gave many tribes in Liaodong autonomy.

For the Northern Han Dynasty, the real threat has never been Liaodong, but in the south, if you really try your best to attack Liaodong, the people of Chu will inevitably take the opportunity to invade the north, so after the Northern Han Dynasty established itself, it has continued the pacification policy of Liaodong, and the eastern Liaodong clan nominally declared itself a vassal to the Han State, but many places are still controlled in their hands.

Fortunately, trade is unimpeded, and Liaodong has not been caught in a battle between swords and soldiers.

The mountains stretch, the eastern part of Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, in fact, many places are inaccessible, Jiugong Mountain is located in the southeast corner of Liaodong, after landing from the lion's mouth, and then walk on the road for two or three days, you can arrive.

However, Jiugong Mountain does not belong to the famous mountain in Liaodong, Liaodong is known as the six peaks of Liaodong, Jiugong Mountain is far from it, and even many locals in Liaodong may not know that Jiugong Mountain exists.

Qi Ning knew the approximate location of Jiugong Mountain, but where it was, it was really not very clear, and asked along the way, but not many people really knew, and finally asked a woodcutter, and the woodcutter pointed out the direction and said: "Go fifty or sixty miles to the west, and then ask someone over there to know." However, there are few people living there, and I heard that there are no villages for dozens of miles near Jiugong Mountain, and many places are very barren, and there are no roads, what are you going to do there? ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "I heard that the scenery of Jiugong Mountain is beautiful, go over and take a look at the scenery." ”

"Jiugong Mountain? The scenery is not beautiful, and many mountains in Liaodong are much more beautiful than Jiugong Mountain. The woodcutter smiled and left.

Qi Ning followed the woodcutter's instructions, rode a horse with Chi Danmei, and headed west.

Chi Danmei's horse was given away, so the two could only ride together along the way, and they would inevitably be noticed on the way, before Weihai landed, Qi Ning let Chi Danmei dress up in disguise and change into men's clothes.

After walking forty or fifty miles, I really didn't see many people along the way, and the surroundings were getting more and more barren, really as the woodcutter said, there were no villages near Jiugong Mountain.

Finally met a person, Qi Ning asked him for the way, and the man pointed out the location of Jiugong Mountain, and kindly persuaded: "I heard that Jiugong Mountain is haunted, if you don't have any major events, it's better not to approach." A few years ago, a few hunters hunted in the vicinity, and saw that there was a fire in Jiugong Mountain, and everyone nearby knew that Jiugong Mountain was a barren mountain, and few people went there, and there was a fire at night, which was very strange. Two of the hunters were bold, saying that they wanted to go up the mountain to see what was going on, but the others did not dare to go up the mountain, and after the two went up the mountain, the next morning, when the other hunters woke up, they saw the bodies of the two people lying on the side, and their hearts were taken out by the ghosts, and since then, no one dared to go over. ”

Qi Ning thanked the man and continued to walk towards Jiugong Mountain.

Chi Dan said: "Those two hunters should have been killed by the people on the mountain, they deliberately pretended to be ghosts, just not to let people get close to the past. ”

Qi Ning was puzzled: "That Jiugong Mountain is in a remote location, I just wonder, how could Beitang Yu collect the Huanyu Map here?" Who lives on that mountain? ”

"Your martial arts are more than enough to deal with any threat." Chi Danmei didn't care: "Unless it's a great grandmaster, even if there are thousands of troops and horses on the mountain, we don't have to be afraid." ”

Chi Danmei's words are not bad.

Qi Ning's cultivation is already close to the great grandmaster, and Chi Danmei is also a top master, the two join forces, in the whole world, except for the great grandmaster, I am afraid there is really no opponent.

According to the man's instructions, he walked more than ten miles in the direction of Jiugong Mountain, the road became narrower and narrower, and after a few miles, the road was already overgrown with weeds, almost not a road, the peaks on both sides stood on the wall, a very narrow road in the middle, barely able to pass a horse, followed the steep road for about half an hour, the road was narrower, even the horses were difficult to pass, and the two stone walls in front were sandwiched into a gap, allowing only one person to barely pass.

"Are we on the wrong track?" Qi Ninghu said suspiciously.

Chi Dan said: "According to the man's instructions, I walked from here, and I didn't see any other roads near here, maybe after walking this road, there was Jiugong Mountain in front of me." ”

Qi Ning thought that he had already arrived here, so naturally he couldn't give up halfway, so the two of them could only turn sideways and squeeze through that line.

At this time, it is the height of summer in August, the red sun is scorching, and the fire is shining gold, fortunately, in the mountains, the mountain peaks tower, covering the sun, but it is also quite cool.

After walking forward for a long time, I finally passed through the cracks in the wall, and the front suddenly opened up, and when I looked up, there was indeed a verdant mountain peak in front of me, with green trees and dense verdity, and under the sun, it was all blue.

The two glanced at each other, knowing that if there was no accident, the mountain in front of them was the Jiugong Mountain they were looking for.

Qi Ning thought that Beitang Yu had said that the people on Jiugong Mountain could recognize their appearance, and the other party would only hand over the Huanyu Map to himself, when he left Beijing, in order to avoid trouble, he had been wearing a mask, and now when he arrived at Jiugong Mountain, he thought that if he continued to wear a mask, the other party would not recognize it, but it would be troublesome, so he took off the mask at the moment and revealed his true face.

Chi Danmei smiled: "Finally took it off, I still thought I was stealing other men behind your back these days." ”

"Is there a second man in the world that you can look at?" Qi Ning smiled: "Finally, I have entered your eyes, you should cherish it." ”

Chi Danmei snorted lightly, looked up at the mountains, frowned, and said: "Living in this barren mountain and wilderness, I don't feel too bored and panicked, if I would rather die." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that seclusion in the mountains and forests sounded good, but if he really wanted to live in the barren mountains and mountains, it was not something that ordinary people could do.

Walked forward for a while, I faintly heard the sound of water, speed up the pace, the empty mountain is lonely, the sound of the water echoes in the valley, the two follow the sound of the past, the closer they get, the louder the sound of the water, suddenly see a white dragon-like waterfall not far away pouring down from the mountain, rushing like thunder, the momentum is very amazing.

On the edge of the waterfall, there is a thatched house, and in the mountains, there is suddenly a trace of fireworks in the world.

When the two approached the waterfall, they found that there was a big willow tree on the edge of the pool where the waterfall fell, and under the willow tree, there was a person wearing a robe and a hat, sitting cross-legged on a stone.

Qi Ning thought to himself that this person was the confidant that Beitang Yu said, and motioned to Chi Danmei not to follow, walked forward by himself, stopped a few steps away, and arched his hand: "This gentleman is invited!" ”

The sound of the waterfall was like thunder, but Qi Ning's internal strength was profound, and what he said naturally came into that person's ears very clearly.

But the man turned a deaf ear and said nothing.

Qi Ning wondered, secretly thinking that his voice was enough for him to hear clearly, why did he not react? Didn't this person hear, he took a few steps closer and said respectfully: "Hello sir! ”

The man ignored himself.

Qi Ning thought to himself that if this person really couldn't hear, he was pretending to be deaf and dumb, he walked to the opposite of the person, and sat down on the stone opposite the person, and at this time he could see the person's face clearly, the person looked about fifty years old, with rough and dark skin, and his appearance was not good, at first glance, he looked like a woodcutter resting in the mountains, but this person's eyes were closed, his expression was calm, his hands were folded around his chest, and his sitting posture was extremely strange.

Qi Ning sighed and said, "It seems that Mr. really can't hear it, but I don't know if I can see it?" ”

The man still ignored it, and Chi Danmei sneered: "Pretend to be here, see if you are really deaf or falsely deaf!" The foot tightened, and the whole person floated like a cloud, and the speed was extremely fast.

Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Don't do it." ”

But Chi Danmei's speed was too fast, when Qi Ning spoke, Chi Danmei had already floated to the man's side, reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder, and saw that the slender jade fingers were about to put on the man's shoulder, but when he saw the figure flicker, there was no trace of the person on the stone in an instant, and Chi Danmei actually grabbed an empty one.

Qi Ning's heart sank.

Chi Danmei's martial arts are also counted today, and she shoots quickly, even if she is a top master, she may not be able to dodge it, but this person actually said that he would go, and his speed was far faster than Chi Danmei.

Chi Danmei's face also changed color, and she looked left and right, but saw that the person was sitting on another stone next to him like a ghost.

The two glanced at each other, knowing that they had met a real master.

Qi Ning stood up and was about to speak, but the man had already opened his eyes, looked at Qi Ning, and asked: "Guangling Sanzhong, there are two Shang Yin, and after becoming Gong Yin, there are four consecutive horn feathers turning each other, do you think this is wrong?" I thought about it for half a month, but I couldn't think of how to change. ”

He asked inexplicably, and Qi Ning and Chi Danmei also heard inexplicably.

"What the gentleman said was..... Guanglingsan? Qi Ning naturally heard the name of this piece for a long time: "What does Mr. mean by transposition?" ”

"In swordsmanship, there is no such change." The man sighed, "I can't think of how the swordsmanship fits this score." Stretched out his hand and gestured: "There is naturally nothing wrong with two Shang Yin becoming Gong Yin, and there is no wrong thing with the horn feather turning each other, but there is a problem with changing from Shang Yin to Jiaoyin, if it is Gong Yin into Yu Yin and then into Jiaoyin, it is naturally extremely powerful, but Gong Yin directly becomes Jiaoyin, and there must be a flaw in the middle....... 1 Shaking his head and sighing, "Trouble, trouble, trouble!" ”

Although he said vaguely, Qi Ning heard the clue and asked tentatively: "Mr. is saying that he wants to turn the sound into a sword technique, and he wants to ...... Sound and sword in one? ”

"Huh?" The man immediately smiled: "You also know how to unite sound and sword?" It's very good, it's wonderful, you come and sit, let's think about it together and let's resolve the flaws in the middle. There was joy in his eyes.
