Chapter 657: Knocking on the Mountain Gate

It was getting late, and the already sparsely populated Iron Sword Mountain was quiet, and the Iron Sword Gate was hidden in the mountains, and even Zhong Ling's voice became particularly harsh at this moment.

Zhu Qing and the two guards walked towards the mountain road, turned a few corners, and the Iron Sword Gate finally appeared in front of them. At this time, although the mountain gate has not yet closed, it has long been sparsely populated. Tiejianmen has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, but in the hearts of the people, it is not as fascinating as Shaolin Wudang, after all, the pilgrims worship the mountain and have a request, and the Musang Dao people often travel everywhere, and the incense under the door is not so vigorous, so there are naturally not many believers who believe in the Iron Sword Gate, but the people who believe in it are probably very religious. Regardless of whether the Musang Dao people were in the temple or not, they went up the mountain every day to worship incense and even help clean the courtyard.

At this time, Zhu Qing came to the door, and the last batch of pilgrims had just finished their evening class, and they were about to close the door and go down the mountain.

......Suddenly, a wolf howl came from the mountain stream, which startled the pilgrims and retreated back to the temple.

A wolf howl alarmed the Mu Sang Dao people who were taking care of Mrs. Dongying in the view. His hand holding the medicine bowl couldn't help but listen, looked out, and thought softly, "How can there be wolves?" ”

Although the Iron Sword Gate is a small faction, it has long been famous on this Iron Sword Mountain, and the Musang Dao people have been here for so long, and they have never heard of or seen a wolf in the Iron Sword Mountain. Isn't it that in this era of famine, even wolves are so hungry that they want to come to Iron Sword Mountain to forage for food? This made the Musang Dao man quite worried, but he was not worried that he would be in danger, he was afraid that the pilgrims who went up the mountain and the inhabitants of the mountain would be attacked by wolves.

Looking at Mu Sang Daoren's frightened face, Mrs. Dongying smiled softly, "I didn't expect that the Iron Sword Gate Sect Master, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, will also be afraid of wolves?" ”

Mu Sang Dao didn't mean to joke, so he responded, "You know I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about the people nearby." ”

Mrs. Dongying saw that Mu Sang Dao was so worried, and it was not good to make fun of him anymore, so she smiled again and said seriously, "Don't worry, it belongs here and won't stay here for too long." ”

When Mu Sang Daoren heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, stared at Mrs. Dongying's eyes and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I know the voice of this wolf, it is the wolf king in the wolf den outside the gate, and he usually doesn't attack people for no reason, but I don't know why this time, he actually came to Tiejian Mountain thousands of miles away, it seems that something has happened......" Mrs. Dongying replied thoughtfully.

"How do you know that?"

"Do I have to tell you everything I've been to before?" Mrs. Dongying's temper doesn't seem to have changed at all, Mu Sang Dao people risked being laughed at by the world to save her, and they took care of her day and night, she was still so hot and cold to Mu Sang Dao people.

After hearing this, Mu Sang Dao people couldn't help but feel a little lost, but since it was the love of his heart and his own choice, Mu Sang Dao people definitely would not regret it, he just smiled awkwardly, nodded slightly, and stood up, "Even so, I still go out to take a look and send it away to rest assured, this medicine ...... Drink it while it's hot. Mu Sang Daoren said, put the decoction at the head of Mrs. Dongying's bed, turned and walked out of the room.

Mrs. Dongying looked at this somewhat lost back, took the warm decoction, and suddenly felt a trace of guilt in her heart, perhaps, she shouldn't have treated him like this.

Mu Sang Dao people went out of the room, walked out of the courtyard, and before they left the mountain gate, they saw the pilgrims who had already said goodbye and hurriedly ran back, their faces were all frightened.

"What's going on? Why did they come back? Mu Sang Dao hurried up to meet him.

"Dao Chief, it's not good, there are wolves on the mountain road!"

"Yes, right at the exit of the mountain stream, two big eyes have been staring at us, we ...... We don't dare to go down the mountain! ”

After hearing this, Mu Sang Dao walked in front of the crowd and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”

The pilgrims hoped that the Musang Dao people would help them drive away the white wolf, but they were also worried and afraid, so they had to follow the Mu Sang Dao people and tiptoe down the mountain......

After not going far, there was a sound of Suo Suo on the mountain road, and the Musang Dao people stopped vigilantly and protected the pilgrims behind them, and the pilgrims were suddenly shocked by this formation and retreated.

"It's me." At this time, there was a response from the mountain road, and the people of Musang Dao were familiar with this voice, it turned out to be Zhu Qing!

"Is that you?" The Musang Dao people relaxed their vigilance and headed down the mountain to greet them, and all the pilgrims were relieved to see that it was three people.

Mu Sang Dao people were about to recognize each other, but when they saw Zhu Qing and the three of them dressed like this, they felt a little strange, and as soon as the name came to their mouths, they had to swallow it back.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time, is it good for the Taoist to come in?" Seeing this, Zhu Qing took the lead in saluting.

"It's not too bad to care about old friends. I don't know if my old friend came to the mountains at night to ......," Musang Dao people said tentatively.

"Why did the Taoist go down the mountain at night?" Zhu Qing asked rhetorically.

"Oh, it's strange to say, when the pilgrims just came down the mountain, they said that they had encountered a white wolf, and they were worried about being attacked, so Lao Dao was going to send them down the mountain." Lord Musang replied.

"Dare to ask if the white wolf can appear in the mountain stream?" Zhu Qing asked.

"Yes, yes, that's right. It was in that mountain stream that Fang just appeared, and those two big eyes stared straight at us, which was terrifying! A pilgrim replied, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhu Qing smiled leisurely, "Don't be afraid, I just came up from the mountain stream and saw that the white wolf had already left and left the mountain pass." ”

When the people heard this, they seemed to believe it or not. Seeing this, the Musang Dao people were quite worried about the pilgrims, so they asked seriously, "Really?" ”

"Seriously!" Zhu Qing responded, "If you don't believe me, I have a way to make you feel at ease." As he spoke, Zhu Qing said to the guards who followed him, "Take out the game we hunted on the road and put it at the mouth of the mountain stream, so that the Taoist chief and the pilgrims can see if the white wolf is still there." ”

Hearing Zhu Qing's words, the two guards looked at each other, quite hesitant, first, this game was specially prepared by Liangshan for them on the road, in this famine era, people have no food to eat, Zhu Qing has just fed the white wolf a roast chicken, why is it going to feed the white wolf at this time? Second, of course, the main thing is to be afraid, although the two of them have just seen Zhu Qing and the white wolf know each other, but at this time, let them go to the food to ask for directions, even if they have martial arts, but they are still a little apprehensive in their hearts.

Seeing this, Mu Sang Daoren smiled slightly, "Old friends don't have to embarrass the two brothers. Boy, take my bow! Lord Musang turned to the mountain gate boy and said.

Xiao Tong brought a big bow and handed it to Zhu Qing, "If the old friend really wants to feed, use my bow and crossbow, as long as the old friend has enough strength, it can project the roast chicken on the mountain stream and bushes, please." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Qing knew that Mu Sang Dao people intended to test their skills, after all, he suddenly went up the mountain this time, Mu Sang Dao people were really not sure why they came, but compared to Mrs. Dongying, who was recuperating from her injuries, in case of a conflict, Mu Sang Dao people also had a good idea in their hearts. However, Zhu Qing didn't care, took the bow and crossbow, took out the feather arrow, skewered a roast chicken, steadied the horse's steps, leaned back with his body, raised his hand and pulled, a big bow was suddenly bent by him, Zhu Qing aimed at a big tree on the other side of the mountain stream, suddenly let go, and the arrow from the string flew towards the mountain stream with the roast chicken, only to hear a knock, the roast chicken was firmly nailed to the big tree in the mountain stream.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but marvel, this person was really a strange person, and the people of Musang Dao couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: a hundred steps through Yang, and it really deserves its name.

An arrow was fired for a long time, but no wolf came to take the roast chicken. It was getting late, and his vision had become more and more blurred, Zhu Qing smiled, "How?" If the white wolf is still there, it's time to come out and eat. ”

Mu Sang Dao also nodded, and said to the pilgrims, "Since the white wolf has left, you should hurry down the mountain, lest it be difficult to walk after dark." ”

"However, the Taoist chief ...... "The pilgrims are still not at ease, who would have expected that the white wolf would suddenly rush out halfway?"

Seeing this, Zhu Qing already knew that the pilgrims were worried, so he said to the two guards, "You two send the pilgrims down the mountain to ensure that they are safe and come back." ”

"This ......" The guards were slightly embarrassed, and the two of them were together, and they definitely didn't have to be afraid of the white wolf, but Zhu Qing took the two of them away, which was a bit abnormal.

"What? Will these two brothers also do kung fu? Mu Sang Daoren asked with a smile.

Although it was a casual question, the two guards were somewhat provoked, and the two looked at each other, and they couldn't let Zhu Qing and himself lose face, so they hugged their fists and responded, "Please!" When the fist was clenched, the two knives in their hands were exposed, and when everyone looked at it, they knew that they were martial artists, so they nodded with confidence.

"Hey, wait." Zhu Qing grabbed a guard and muttered a few words in his ear, and the guard was startled, "Huh? ”

Zhu Qing didn't speak, just nodded firmly.

"Yes!" The guards received the order and led the pilgrims down the mountain.

Seeing Zhu Qing walking away from everyone, the Musang Dao people knew that Zhu Qing had something to say to himself alone, so he said to the little boy beside him, "You go back to the temple to prepare tea first, and wait for me and my husband to go back." ”

"Yes, Michigan."

After Xiao Tong also left, Mu Sang Dao breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Zhu Qing, "Why did you suddenly go up the mountain to find me?" Those two people around you don't look like ordinary followers. ”

"Because Kaifeng let you go, I was degraded by the imperial court to go south, those two are the guards of General Liangshan, escorting me to the south......" Before Zhu Qing finished speaking, Musang Daoren was already shocked, "Ah? How so? Hey, it's all we who have troubled you! As he spoke, the Musang Dao people hurriedly saluted and apologized.

Zhu Qing smiled meaninglessly, "This is nothing, I went up the mountain on this matter, not to dwell on this matter, I just got a news, I need to go up the mountain to confirm with you and Mrs. Dongying." ”

"What's the news?"

"The White Wolf King just sent the news." Zhu Qing said with a smile.

Mu Sang Daoren's face was full of surprise, "Huh? You really know the white wolf, you brought it? ”

Zhu Qing shook his head, "I didn't bring it, someone sent it to me." Rest assured, it has really left Iron Sword Mountain and gone back. It's just because it's ......" Zhu Qing said, pointing to the night sky and smiling.

"Full moon?" Musang Dao people have an understanding.

"Yes, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, the moon is getting rounder and brighter, it really makes people look forward to the day of reunion......" Zhu Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Mu Sang Dao people also felt something, nodded, "It's a pity that now the mountains and rivers are broken, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, because of the war over the years, how many families have been broken and wives separated, and this year's reunion night may be more sentimental for many people......"

"So, I want to end this as soon as possible, and I hope the Taoist can help me." Zhu Qing turned to the right color.

"What's the matter with Qinglong, let's look back and talk about it." Mu Sang Dao people said respectfully.

"Please!" Zhu Qing followed the Musang Dao people and walked towards the Iron Sword Gate, the moonlight was like a wash, but it sprinkled a trace of coolness......
