Chapter 1514: Mist Inn
Murong Feng stepped forward calmly and walked into the door of the inn under the expressionless gaze of the two inn guards.
When Chunli saw this kind of scene for the first time, she was inexplicably a little nervous, and hid tightly behind Murong Feng. As soon as I entered the door of the inn, I was coughed by a choking smell mixed with bad smoke and sweat.
As soon as the two of them entered the 'smoky and burning' inn, they noticed countless inquiring eyes sweeping towards them, but they immediately took them back. Of course, there are also some people who are secretly observing, and the noise in the lobby is still there.
Murong Feng lifted his hat slightly up and glanced at the audience, and found that this inn was really a mix of dragons and snakes, in addition to panda people, there were also bison people, golden fish people, land spirits and some guys with hidden heads and tails.
Although the crowded inn lobby was very crowded and lively, and the guests were either drunk alone or playing cards and drinking and bragging at the 351 table, Murong Feng still noticed a strange atmosphere. It seems that everyone in the room is secretly watching the actions of others, and everyone is almost always armed. Thinking of the meaningful warning he had previously encountered from the old shepherd on the mountain road, Murong Feng felt that something big was going to happen here.
At this time, a shopkeeper greeted him with a smile and asked, "Are there two guests?" What do you want to drink? Or accommodation? ”
"Is there a clean space?" Murong Feng asked.
"Yes, yes, there are still vacant seats on the second floor." The shopkeeper greeted warmly.
Murong Feng glanced up at the second floor of the inn and saw that it was a corridor structure, and there were many small single rooms separated by bamboo screens, which were obviously much better than the lobby on the first floor, which was smoky.
"Lead the way." Murong Feng casually threw out a gold coin and ordered, "Bring me another pot of good tea and fruits." ”
"Okay, two guests come with me." Shopkeeper Eryi caught the gold coin, and immediately smiled more kindly, and hurriedly nodded and led the way to lead Murong Feng and the others to the second floor, and it was only then that the sight of those secretly observing disappeared.
The shopkeeper led the master and apprentice into a cubicle by the window, and when he opened the window, he could look at the churning sea of clouds.
When the shopkeeper retired and left, Chunli finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, why do I feel that the people in this shop are weird." ”
Murong Feng said lightly: "The rivers and lakes, aren't they all this style of painting." ”
Chun-Li's face was clouded, obviously not understanding.
Murong Feng said: "There should be something big happening here, which is why it will attract so many people in the rivers and lakes." This is a good opportunity for you to increase your knowledge, remember to listen more, watch more and speak less, and don't mix things up in case of trouble so as not to get into trouble. ”
After a while, the shopkeeper brought tea and fruit snacks.
"Two guests, this is the best cloud fairy tea in the store, how do you taste it?"
Murong Feng picked up the tea bowl and pecked it lightly, nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The little one will retire first, and you can call if you have something." ”
Murong Feng hummed noncommittally, and the shopkeeper retired.
Chunli couldn't help but ask, "Master, why don't you take this opportunity to ask the shopkeeper about it?" ”
Murong Feng said lightly: "People regard us as fellow believers, don't you show your feet when you open your mouth to inquire." ”
Chunli is covered again, feeling that this river and lake are so complicated......
Murong Feng put down his hat, pricked up his ears and turned around, shaking his head slightly, but he didn't hear any useful news. It's not that she has a hearing problem, but those people below are very vigilant, drinking and chatting about irrelevant, and none of them are talking about the topic. However, this aroused her curiosity, and she secretly guessed the intention of the group of people below.
Chunli's brain obviously couldn't adapt to this kind of twists and turns, seeing that the master didn't want to say it explicitly, she simply took a sip of tea and a sip of fruit and feasted on it, anyway, with her worldview, no matter what she encountered, it was always right to fill her stomach first.
Soon, a bowl of tea bottomed out, and Murong Feng was about to make another bowl when he suddenly shook his ears and turned his head to look out the window.
I saw a group of black-clothed men wearing hats outside the inn.
The guests in the inn were all silent when they saw the visitor, and fell into an eerie silence for a while.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward, and saw the black-clothed man who took the lead and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the big boss of your family?" Let her come to me! ”
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, but he still hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, my lord, please go upstairs to have a cup of tea to quench your thirst, and the little one will invite my boss for you." ”
"Lead the way." The man in black stopped talking nonsense, and followed the shopkeeper directly to the private room on the third floor.
It was only then that the inn lobby returned to a bit of hustle and bustle.
"I didn't expect the black-clothed guards of the Shadow Trace Sect to come too, it seems that the news is true!"
"Brother, this job is a little hot!"
"How? Egg-stricken? They follow the sect and go all the way, but they don't look at whose land it is! ”
"Shhh
"Humph! Afraid? ”
"It's always right to be careful, after all, there are four holy mosques standing behind them."
"Cut, what are the four holy temples, don't you look at it, except for the White Tiger Temple, there is still a bit of momentum, the other three are about to fall into ruin."
"Hey, hey, have you heard of it? It seems that something big has just happened to that temple in the east! ”
"Qinglong Temple? What's going on there? ”
"It seems to have something to do with the recent incident in the north."
"Why did you get to the north again? Could it be that those trolls are already bold enough to rush to provoke the tiger whiskers of the Four Holy Temples? ”
"This is not very clear, the news has been blocked, and now the major roads entering the Emerald Forest are guarded by the Green Dragon Guard. It is said that the two days ago, the heaven and earth changed color, the sun and the moon were dark, and it seemed that the ancient demon was born and attracted the gods to go down to earth to fight with him......"
"Go and go, the more you talk about it, the more you lose it, and the gods and demons fight the law, you can figure it out, it's really a shame not to tell the story."
"Hey, you're really right, you're really a storyteller before you break into the rivers and lakes!"
"Oh, I'm glad I'll be lucky, I don't know what to call Mr.?"
"Don't dare to call it, in the lower Kunlai Mountain, the sea dragon, the brothers raise their love and call Kunlai Mountain Long. What about you? ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Long, looking up for a long time. Yu Haiming in the Lower Four Wind Valley, what a coincidence, we are all from the sea characters. ”
"Haha, fate, let's do a bowl!"
"Shhh Look who's coming! ”
"Wow, the big boss is here!"
There was a low commotion in the lobby, and then everyone lowered their heads and drank, but still no one dared to look up and look around.
Murong Feng shook his ears, turned his head to look at the staircase, and heard a few footsteps coming up. Through the bamboo curtain, I could vaguely see a few figures, but I couldn't tell who the mysterious big boss was, and I could only tell that the three people who came up had good cultivation.
The three of them went upstairs and happened to meet the shopkeeper who went downstairs.
"Ah, boss, you're here, those masters are waiting upstairs."
"Well, got it, you go get busy." A soft voice answered, and continued upstairs.
"Female?" Murong Feng was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect this mysterious big boss to be a woman.
The three of them went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the room where the group of black-clothed guards were, and heard the leader of the black-clothed guards smile lightly: "Mrs. Guo hasn't seen her demeanor for a long time." ”
"Giggles, what a demeanor, they're all old. On the contrary, it is Master Xueliu, your sword is not old......" A coquettish smile was cut off by the door of the room that was closed.
Murong Feng listened again but didn't hear any movement coming from the room, obviously there was some kind of magic in this private room that isolated the sound from coming out.
"Master, I'm full, shall we continue on our way?" Chun-Li asked with a small mouth.
Murong Feng glanced at this girl, and had no intention of continuing to explore the abnormality here, got up and put on a hat and said, "Let's go." ”
The two of them left the cubicle and went downstairs to attract a few eyes of secret observation, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a surprised face and asked, "Where are the two guest officers going?" ”
"I've rested enough, and I'm going to keep going." Murong Feng said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted more surprised eyes.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Are the two guests going up the mountain?" ”
This question is not clear, and people who don't understand think it's nonsense, and it's not to go up the mountain to Kunlai Mountain.
However, Murong Feng knew that there were actually two ways to go up the mountain, one was to Kunlai Mountain, and the other was to Yongchuntai.
When she said goodbye to Tama-chan and Akuya, Akuya pointed out the way to Yongchundai. Therefore, Murong Feng came here to go to Yongchun Terrace to meet the two goddesses.
"Hmm." Murong Feng nodded noncommittally, and was about to go out without saying anything.
The shopkeeper sent the two of them to the door of the inn with a strange face, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "The two guest officers don't talk too much, it's going to be dark soon, and it's not safe to go up the mountain." ”
"It's okay, I've walked a lot at night." Murong Feng waved his hand indifferently.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper had no choice but to send the two away.
There was another murmur in the lobby of the inn.
"Heh, two more fools who are not afraid of death."
"It's not that I'm blinded by treasures, I really think I'm lucky."
"I bet I'll be scared out of my head later, hahaha."
After leaving the inn, the master and apprentice continued to walk up the winding mountain road, with occasional giant trees towering along the way, but most of them were full of flowers and plants.
It's just that the more you climb up the mountain, the thicker the fog becomes, and as you often walk, you suddenly find that there is a cliff outside the mountain road. was so frightened that Chunli dragged Murong Feng's cloak and didn't dare to let go.
The two of them climbed up the winding mountain road for about an hour, and finally came to a fork in the road.
The avenue continued onward, but branched off into a stone staircase, zigzag to the steep cliff face, and was eventually submerged in the fog.
Murong Feng raised his head and squinted his eyes, then walked towards the path.
When I came to the intersection, I saw a wooden sign inserted in the middle of the road, and there was no writing written on it, only a simple and easy-to-understand blood-red skull.
Murong Feng glanced at the warning sign that was purely frightening, and went around it directly.
A moment later, a sneaky figure touched the intersection and glanced at it, then quickly turned around and returned to the inn.
The sky gradually darkened, and a cold wind blew on the cliffs, which made the fog dissipate a lot, but this made Chun-Li's legs start to weaken as she was struggling to climb.
"Is Master the way? How long have we been climbing, why haven't we reached the end yet? Chunli asked tremblingly. Because the stone steps and paths excavated on the cliff wall are only two steps wide, and there is a cliff outside, now that the fog has dispersed, you can see it more clearly, and you can see it softly when you look at it for a timid estimate.
"It's the way." Murong Feng walked with his hands behind his back with a relaxed expression, raised his head and said, "It's almost there, there are about three hundred steps." ”
Chunli immediately felt that her legs were weak, and she cried bitterly: "Master, why don't you fly up with me directly?" How do you climb until when? ”
Murong Feng snorted: "It's not to train you little girl, you have eaten so much food rich in aura today, and if you don't digest it well, it will all be wasted." ”
Chun-Li had no choice but to lower her head and continue to climb, until she felt that her sore legs were no longer her own.
I don't know how long I was tormented, until Chunli felt that her legs were about to lose sensation before she hit Murong Feng's back.
"Master?"
"Here we are."
"It's ?!!"
Chun-Li raised her head excitedly, and immediately froze her expression in amazement......
At the end of the stone path is a ten-zhang square platform paved with blue bricks, and at the other end of the platform stands a majestic stone gate!
The whole stone gate is about 100 meters high, towering into the sky, but it happens to be embedded between the two peaks.
The reason for Chunli's stunned was not because the stone gate was so majestic that she was shocked, but because she had to climb a long staircase to enter the stone gate!
Murong Feng counted, no more, no less, exactly one hundred steps.
But Chunli's whole person hung directly on Murong Feng, and pleaded weakly: "Master, I really can't crawl, if you don't fly with me, I'll die here." ”
"Sit down." Murong Feng tapped Chunli's head and asked her to sit cross-legged, and then put her palm print on her vest.
Chunli immediately felt a trace of cool breath penetrating into her body, straight into her limbs, and she couldn't say Shu Tai, her legs, which were originally tired to numbness, were first slightly hot, and then numb and itchy, as if she felt that the muscles of her legs were alive.
"Follow the teacher's teachings to pass on your exercises and pranayama for three weeks." Murong Feng stood aside.
Chun Li did the pranayama exercise with her eyes closed, and felt the trickle of true qi running through her whole body in the meridians, and soon the tiredness was dispelled. But soon my stomach was hungry again......
"Master, it's already dark, why don't we have dinner first and then climb the steps?" Chun-Li said pitifully.
Murong Feng glanced at him and snorted, "I've already arrived at the door, and I'm still thinking about being lazy." If you don't want to keep climbing, just stay outside and blow the cold wind. ”
"Eh, that's what I'm going to say." Chun-Li immediately jumped up.
Murong Feng shook his head and walked towards the steps under the giant gate, and Chunli hurriedly followed.
When the master and apprentice came to the steps, they were just about to step up the stairs when they heard a loud shout from above!
"Stop! Mortals of Yongchun Terrace are not allowed to set foot on it! ”
Murong Feng looked up and saw several tall Jinyu people standing in front of the door with horizontal knives, looking down at the two of them coldly.
"We're here for Akua." Murong Feng said lightly.
"Bold! How dare you call my god by his name! The blasphemer immediately kneels down and repents, otherwise he will be beheaded! ”
