Chapter 142: The Mysterious Old Man

"Zhang Yan?" He Xian frowned and thought, "I have no grudges with that Zhang Yan recently, why are I being targeted by that Zhang Yan?" If you have to say the festival, it will be the fall of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, and He Xian will have to bear a lot of responsibility. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut Nanyang is not less than thousands of miles away, Nanyang Yellow Turban and Jizhou Yellow Turban are actually independent of each other, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mancheng can rarely get in touch. What's more, how did Zhang Yan determine her identity? Could it be that this is just a coincidence? ”

He Xian shook his head, the top priority is to flee for his life first, and Zhang Yan's matter can be investigated slowly.

"No matter what, Miss Zhao's life-saving grace is grateful!"

"You let me go before, but now I save your life, we don't owe each other!"

He Xian didn't say anything more, looked around and asked, "Where are we now?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I also woke up after sunset, and I can't tell the direction in the dense forest, so I really don't know the direction of this place." ”

"It shouldn't be too deep, wait until tomorrow to get out of the dense forest." He Xian said with relief.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, He Xian and Zhao Yun finally determined their position by relying on the sun, and they wanted to go to Zhongshan Kingdom in the northeast. I didn't think about it, but after walking a short distance, I found traces of a search party. As soon as the two of them combined, they concluded that the Black Mountain thieves did not give up and refused to let the two go. Then he turned around and turned around and headed deep into the dense forest to the southwest. Both of them are good people, and there are many wild fruits, hares, pheasants and other wild meat in the dense forest, and they don't worry about food. After three days of marching, they came to a great mountain and looked up at the unclimbable cliff, which they could not succeed in circumventing the mountain for more than ten days. If you return now, and you are afraid of encountering the Black Mountain thief army in the middle of the road, Zhang Yan's wolf tooth arrow strength is as fierce as the heavy snipe of later generations, He Xian does not dare to take risks. The two of them were at a loss, preparing materials for climbing, but Zhao Yun heard the roar of flowing water from within the cliff. When He Xian heard this, he hurriedly and Zhao Yun worked together to open the thick vines on the cliff wall, and a crack that was one person wide suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. The roar of flowing water came from the cracks.

He Xian and Zhao Yun were both bold people, and after a brief discussion, the two decided to go into the cave to investigate and see if they could cross this mountain and take a shortcut. So, He Xian was in front and Zhao Yun was behind, and the two of them held torches and walked carefully into the cracks. The further you go inside, the clearer the roar of the water becomes. After walking nearly 100 steps, after a turn, the space in front of me suddenly opened up, a huge hole was not far away, and the roar of the water was even louder. Approaching the entrance of the cave, He Xian and Zhao Yun realized that the cave they were in turned out to be behind a waterfall, and the water curtain covered the entrance of the cave. He Xian's first reaction was to think of the Water Curtain Cave in the four famous novels "Journey to the West". I originally thought it was just a cave in the novelist's imagination, but now I found that the reality appeared in front of me, and nature really had a magical workmanship.

A curtain of water obscured the entrance to the cave, and the situation outside was unknown. Although the difference in the fall of the waterfall is not very large from the sound of the impact of the flowing water, the two of them cannot rush out rashly. Looking around the entrance of the cave, the two of them noticed that there was a road on the left side of the waterfall that was not a road, so they could settle down, and they were interested in bypassing the waterfall to see the scene outside. Just go.

The entrance to the cave is wet with splashes from the waterfall all year round, and the moss is overgrown, and the place where you settle down is quite slippery. He Xian and Zhao Yun held hands and moved forward along the side wall. After turning left and eight times, the two finally left the waterfall area, and the light was bright.

Although it was only about an hour, the two felt that time had flown by for a long time. After adapting to the dazzling sunlight, the two found themselves alone in the rock wall, and the mountain water flowed straight from the rock wall more than ten meters high, poured into the waterhole below the mountain, splashing and scattering. The water is not turbulent, and it must be in the dry season. Imagine how thrilling it would be if the water season came, and the rushing mountains and rivers poured down from the top of the cliff, like thousands of horses galloping, making a loud sound like thousands of people beating drums. Not far from the soles of the feet is the sleep of the pool, and the pool is deep and I don't know how deep. There is a stone tablet engraved on the side of the pond with the word "Fengyuan". There is a thatched hut on the other side of the pond, a little fertile land, and a number of chickens, ducks and livestock. The two of them were overjoyed, and walked along the naturally formed mountain road to the thatched hut under the cliff.

Pushing open the empty door, the thatched hut is extremely simple, one pot, two bowls, two chopsticks, and one couch. On the wall, a pair of black wooden swords and two spears. In particular, these two spears are very eye-catching. One handle is shiny and shiny, and the whole body is silvery, but the other handle is black and black, and I don't know what material it is made of.

The two were sighing, and there was one more person in the hut.

He Xian looked at it in shock, it turned out to be an old man in sackcloth and geyi, barefoot, no wonder he couldn't hear the footsteps. The man had a childish face, a tall figure, almost his height, a simple appearance, a calm expression, a pair of eyes shining with a god, except for the scarf that tied his hair, there were no accessories on his body, and he looked like a master of the world.

The old man's face was full of displeasure, and He Xian and Zhao Yun said indifferently: "No matter who sent you here, the old man has already sworn a poisonous oath to go out of the mountain, don't talk about it!" The old man has closed the door and will no longer accept apprentices......" Speaking of this, the old man suddenly paused, and looked at the two of them carefully with burning eyes.

He Xian and Zhao Yun were confused, and they didn't know what each other's intentions were, He Xian replied embarrassedly: "The predecessor must have recognized the wrong person." In Xia He Xian, this is my brother Zhao Yun, we were originally going to Zhongshan to visit relatives, lost our way, and came here. If the seniors can tell me how to walk in Zhongshan, we will leave this place immediately, and we will be grateful. ”

The old man smiled slightly: "Recognize the wrong person? Then can you tell the old man, what is this? ”

He Xian was shocked to find that the old man was holding a small pyramid-shaped auspicious cloud jade block in his hand, which was given to him by the old lady He on his tenth birthday, and he had been wearing it closely, and he didn't know when it actually arrived in the other party's hands, and He Xian didn't notice it at all.

"Seniors are angry! This is a gift from the elders! He Xian hurriedly explained.

"Hmm......" The old man did not blame, but also nodded, just looked intently at the small pyramid jade block in his hand, especially the ink-colored auspicious cloud pattern in the center of the bottom of the tower, his expression changed from shock to doubt, extremely wonderful.

"Since the little brother holds the ink jade, dare to ask which vein it belongs to?" The old man's tone became inexplicably polite.

He Xian was confused and said: "Moyu? Is that pyramid jade block referring to? Which line? He has never joined any organization, but he is an absolute good citizen of the Han Dynasty and a staunch non-partisan person! ”

The old man looked lost and muttered to himself, "Impossible! It can't be so dilapidated! So, he still didn't give up and asked, "Can you know how to make a sword?" ”

He Xian and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the old man's gourd, and nodded in response, "Understood."

The old man said happily: "Come with me!" ”
