Chapter 10: The Encounter of the Descent from the Mountain

After saying goodbye to everyone, early in the morning, Lu Ning stepped on the way down the mountain, Xiao Hongyi went out early in the morning, Duan Tianya said sorry to Lu Ning, but Lu Ning saw a little in his heart, there are some things that can't be forced, let it go. said goodbye one after another, and went down the mountain in the midst of everyone's send-off.

The sun rises in the mountains, the morning glow is sparkling, and the purple qi is coming from the east, Lu Ning said in his heart that he doesn't know where to go, so he has to walk around, and where he goes. As soon as this thought came out, he didn't think about it, and only walked down the mountain road where he had apprenticed.

There were few people at the foot of the mountain, and the road was lined with jungle, and in the distance stood a figure standing in the morning breeze.

It was Xiao Hongyi.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ning approached and showed a smiling face.

"I'll see you off." If there was no trace of blush on Xiao Hongyi's face, there was a charm in the glow, Lu Ning was stunned, and her heart was a little gloomy, it turned out that she was so good-looking, she had never noticed it.

"Are you really leaving?"

Is this trying to keep it? Lu Ning said in his heart, and then remembered Zhou Qing, so he dispelled this idea.

"I want to go out for a walk, and there is nothing to do in Wudang." Lu Ning smiled at her, with a rare seriousness in his expression.

"When will you be back?" Xiao Hongyi asked.

"I don't know, the world is big, you have to watch it to your heart's content."

"When will that be, it's going to be many years." Xiao Hongyi muttered.

Seeing that Xiao Hongyi was a little sad, Lu Ning said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, anyway, there is a lot of time in this river and lake, and we can also see you in the rivers and lakes when you are out of school." ”

"That's different." Xiao Hongyi looked at Lu Ning, wanting to see something in his eyes, "Why are you leaving?" Aren't we happy together? Big brother, Sister Mochou, Xiao Li, we can't bear you. As he spoke, some tears fell on his face and looked at Lu Ning.

"Uh," Lu Ning was a little at a loss, and reached out to wipe her tears: "I just go out to play, you know my temperament, do whatever comes to mind..." Lu Ning didn't know what else to say, just kept wiping her tears with her hands.

The tears are actually wiped more and more, because when there are a pair of hands to wipe the tears for you, the grievances in your heart will be better vented, Xiao Hongyi shook his head lightly, shook off Lu Ning's fingers, stepped back, and walked away from Lu Ning's heart.

"I didn't know until Brother Zhou told me, forgive me for not realizing it."

"It's okay." Lu Ning told her, "I don't want to be like this when the two of us are together in the future." He smiled and said, "If you think about it, it's fun to still fight around like we used to." ”

Xiao Hongyi nodded, and said hopefully, "Then are you still leaving?" ”

"I really want to go out, a hero like me is always stuck in Wudang Mountain, how can my legend spread on the rivers and lakes. Isn't it? Lu Ning said proudly.

Xiao Hongyi also laughed, "Come back to see us from time to time." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Hongyi was speechless, and Lu Ning was speechless.

After looking at each other, Lu Ning said, "I'm leaving, you can take care of yourself." ”

"Hmm." A faint nasal voice with a hint of solemnity.

Lu Ning turned around and left, never looking back. Xiao Hongyi looked at the back and parted, and also turned back, the two of them were in a heavy mood, they didn't look at each other, and finally disappeared.

Spring is the most worrying nowhere to travel, looking at everything from afar, everything is a piece of spring, farewell to the peaks of Wudang Mountain, Lu Ning didn't know where he came, only walked along a road, but did not see a place of people, and walked for half a day, Lu Ning, who had just entered the journey, finally couldn't bear to be tired, so he walked through a stream and sat down, took out the food in the package and filled his fasting stomach.

Some figures were seen on the road in the distance, and when they got closer, Lu Ning saw that it was many people escorting a carriage forward.

I don't know if I can take a ride. Lu Ning thought in his heart, so he stood on the side of the road and waited.

The people were getting closer, and Lu Ning also saw a short flag on the carriage, with four characters on it: Longwei Dart Bureau.

Before he had time to complain in his heart about how uninteresting the name was, a man came out of the convoy and rode towards him.

When the man got closer, he raised his voice and stood on his horse, clasped his fists at Lu Ning and asked, "Brother Tai, do you know how many days there is still a few days to go to Qilian Mountain?" "Qilian Mountain is close to the Tianshan Mountains and has its back to Kunlun, but when Lu Ning first entered the rivers and lakes, how could he know about these things on the road. Lu Ning saw that he had a kind face, and he was about the same age as he was at a young age, so he also saluted the man and said, "I am a disciple of Wudang, and it is the first time I have traveled down the mountain, and I don't know the distance here. ”

"It turned out to be a disciple of Wudang." The man said with a smile: "In Xiajiangyuan, it is from the Longwei Dart Bureau in Shuzhong, and our chief dart leader Zheng Dayong is also a disciple of Wudang, and they are all from his own family." ”

"In Lower Luning." Lu Ning also wanted to get to know this family member, so as not to be a porter again.

When Jiang Yuan introduced Lu Ning to the past, Zheng Dayong was also very happy, and Lu Ning had a courtesy, so he chatted with Lu Ning, and after hearing Lu Ning and himself all the way, he invited Lu Ning all the way.

Lu Ning sat in the car and chatted with Zheng Dayong about the current personnel changes in Wudang, Zheng Dayong worshiped under Wudang more than ten years ago, and it has been ten years since he left the school. He was only an outer disciple back then, and after being taught by Song Yuanqiao, Lu Ning called him a senior brother, and he was comforted by his old heart, and after hearing that Lu Ning was Zhang Wuxia's personal disciple, he became more and more enthusiastic about Lu Ning.

The group traveled until the evening, and then came to a small town, called Andong Town, which was still hundreds of miles away from the Tianshan Mountains, and found an inn to arrange a carriage and horses, and then prepared to live here for one night, and went on the road the next day.

Lu Ning and Jiang Yuan went to the town for a walk, but after all, it was only a remote town, and there was nothing attractive about it. Jiang Yuan was the youngest of the four trips, and when he asked, he was one year younger than Lu Ning, so he was the most compatible with Lu Ning. There were only two or two pedestrians on the street, and the two of them were very depressed and prepared to go back.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, it was still far away at first, and soon it was in front of the four knights and horses brushing past, causing the street to be dusty, and the pedestrians on both sides were scolding, Lu Ning also greeted their family cordially in his heart, and the two saw the sun set, so they went back to the inn.

The road when Lu Ning came passed through the town and went far east, and the inn was at the easternmost end of the town. The inn is called the Mantang Inn, and the name is full of guests, but it is the same as this town, old and mottled, and it looks a little desolate in the dim yellow world, with new sprouts of old trees, rustling branches and vines in the courtyard, and four horses tied under the trees.

Lu Ning and Jiang Yuan glanced at each other, and they both saw that this was the horse of the four knights on the road just now.

When I walked into the inn, I saw the four people sitting around a table, drinking and eating food silently, and none of them spoke.

Jiang Yuan casually picked up a table and beckoned Lu Ning to sit down.

Xiao Er, Jiang Yuan greeted. Serve something casually and fill it up, and drink it in the altar. Then he asked Lu Ning: "Does Brother Lu drink?" ”

Lu Ning nodded, looked at the people, turned around and asked quietly, "Can Brother Jiang see the origin of these people?" ”

Jiang Yuan looked at it and smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, this trip is really the first dart I have taken, in terms of experience in the rivers and lakes, maybe it is not as good as you Brother Lu." ”

Lu Ning was also a little disappointed when he heard this, he saw that these four people were wearing black strong shirts, each with weapons, and they had a fierce face, and they were rampage on the road, they really didn't look like good people. I just don't know what to do.

Jiang Yuan saw that he was a little distracted, so he called him to drink, and the two of them pushed the cup, and drank one cup after another, but Lu Ning's alcohol was not as good as Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan also said that he was raised by the old man in the dart game with wine since he was a child. When the wine reached the depths, he couldn't drink any further, Lu Ning only felt that his head was as heavy as a bucket, and when he shook it, he was helped into the guest room by Jiang Yuan, and collapsed on the bed, unconscious.

At night, Lu Ning woke up, only felt a splitting headache, sat up and shook his head, still a little drowsy, he lived in the same guest room with Jiang Yuan, although this room was spacious, but the gable was broken, Lu Ning vaguely heard the sound of someone talking, his ears leaned against the wall and listened carefully, it turned out to be the sound of a few people talking next door, and he could vaguely hear the situation of the four people he saw in the afternoon.

"Brother Chen will leave a mark along the way, and we can follow the mark and go straight to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to meet him." One of them whispered.

Brother Chen went alone. Aren't you afraid of alarming the head church? ”

"What do you know, now that Zhang Wuji has returned to seclusion, the new sect leader Yang Xiao can't convince the public, seeing that this Ming Sect will be in civil strife again, if I don't take advantage of this time, how can I still have a chance to steal this supreme exercise from the secret passage, this is the stunt of the Ming Sect to dominate the martial arts."

"The great shift of Qiankun is a divine skill practiced by the Ming Sect Master for generations, and this time I will go to help Brother Chen succeed."

Lu Ning's heart moved secretly, and he pondered, has the world changed greatly, I don't know who this Brother Chen is?

It's just that these people said that Zhang Wuji retired to the rivers and lakes, and he didn't hear the wind at all in Wudang, and it seems that even Zhang Cuishan probably didn't know, these people didn't know how to get the mental method of the great shift, and they had nothing to do, so it was better to follow and see, maybe in the end, the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch were behind, so that they could meet a cheaper.

Seeing that the next door gradually fell silent, Lu Ning had no choice but to bend down and continue to sleep, after all, he would secretly follow these people tomorrow, and he couldn't be sloppy.

In the early morning of the second day, he saw the four people hurrying to leave early, Lu Ning told Zheng Dayong and a few people that he wanted to go, so he hurriedly said goodbye, bought a horse at the post station outside the town, and rushed to Kunlun Mountain.

A horse costs fifteen taels of silver here, Lu Ning is distressed to death, but he has to buy it, now it is important to chase people, Lu Ning comforted himself in his heart, when he arrived in Mingjiao, maybe everyone saw that he was Zhang Wuji's junior brother, so he was treated as a guest, good wine and meat, gold and silver, hehehe. Think of a happy place. Lu Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but smirk.

Just half a day's journey, following the horse's hoof marks on the road, Lu Ning felt that his waist was about to be broken by the bumps, and he traveled for two more days, during which he slept in the open air, lest he delay the journey, and he did not stop passing by the town, and finally came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions.

Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains in the world, the mountains and rivers and dragon veins in the world are scattered from here, although it is vast here, but there are also people gathered in the city, the road is messy, at the beginning you can also distinguish the traces of the four people, the more you go to the densely populated place, the more you disappear, Lu Ning saw the traces of a few people's horseshoe, so he had to find an inn to rest.

Led by the guy to feed the horse, Lu Ning walked into the inn, the crowd was shouting, and the bottom was full of guests, Lu Ning went upstairs, picked up a seat by the window and sat down, the upstairs is divided into a quiet seat and a private seat, the elegant seat is a small room in the compartment, and the ordinary hall seat made by Lu Ning is a quiet seat. After greeting Xiao Er with wine and food, he poured himself a drink, thinking: There is no difference between the Mingjiao Mountain and the hinterland of the Central Plains, they are all the same crowded, but here are mostly martial arts people carrying weapons, and it has always been a border place, and there is no Wang Fa to discipline them, so everyone carries swords to protect themselves.

Just thinking about it, I heard a shout and scolding from the elegant seat upstairs: "Lao Tzu disobeys him Zhu Yuanzhang, and he wants to be the leader of the sect with only a little military exploits, and do his mother's dream of spring and autumn!" ”

Saying that, he slammed the door from the pavilion, and Lu Ning looked at it, and it turned out to be a thin and tall man, domineering, with a pair of strange eyes, and went downstairs with anger. Two more people walked out of the pavilion, and when they saw the big man leaving, there seemed to be a deep meaning in their eyes.

Lu Ning said in his heart Zhu Yuanzhang? Isn't this the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in the novel, it is written that he used trickery to force Zhang Wuji away, killed the successor leader Yang Xiao, and seized the position of the sect leader himself, and drove away the Yuan Court with the millions of members of the Ming Sect, and sat on the overlord of the Central Plains.

"I don't know where my cheap senior brother Zhang Wuji ran to?" Lu Ning thought in his heart, Zhang Wuji only said in the novel that he returned to seclusion with beauty, but he didn't know where he went, according to the consistent urine sex of martial arts novels, he must have gone overseas again, and now this Mingjiao civil strife seems to be no longer able to count on him.

Seeing that the two of them went downstairs, Lu Ning thought why not follow them, and when they arrived at the top of the Ming Sect, maybe they could meet the four people before. After making up his mind, Xiao Er said that the horses were stored in the inn and followed.

The two of them were sneaky all the way, and they were actually following behind the big man in front, but the big man was far away and didn't notice it, and the two in front of him were just tracking, but they didn't notice that there was an extra tail behind them, Lu Ning wondered in his heart, could it be that these two people were going to stage some kind of scene to block the road and kill people, so they also followed cautiously behind.

A few people walked into the mountain road, the big man in front turned into the mountain, the mountain road was rugged, gradually slowing and becoming more and more urgent, it turned out that the big man took a small road, Lu Ning fell far behind, seeing the two people in front of him gradually speeding up, knowing that they might have to do it.

Sure enough, the two stepped forward together, and the big man heard the footsteps behind him, stopped his figure, and looked.

"Zhu Yuanzhang's dog! Can't help but want to exclude dissidents? Dahan laughed.

"Xu Xianfu, don't think that if you are the master of the Thunder Banner, there will be no one to govern you!" One of the two said in a cruel voice, "Brother Zhu's military achievements are so impressive, just because you are also worried about the position of the sect leader, it is really wishful thinking!" ”

"Lao Tzu never thought of being the sect leader," Xu Xianfu sneered: "Zhu Yuanzhang forced away the sect leader Zhang, haven't you heard of being the sect leader Yang, just by virtue of his few moments, he wants to sit on the position of the sect leader, which is really ridiculous." ”

"Good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, Brother Hu, why should we talk nonsense with him, let's do it!" With that, a man rushed forward and punched. Xu Xianfu sneered: "Just you two waste? At the moment, the luck splits the palm to meet it. ”

It's just that at this time, the dantian suddenly felt a pain, and the pair of fleshy palms that came forward also lost their heads, and they had no strength at all.

"Damn!" Xu Xianfu screamed and was kicked to the ground by the surnamed Hu.

"Hey, hey, Lord Xu, after drinking the wine of my two brothers, you can still go so far, but you also have some strength, no wonder Brother Zhu wants to recruit you."

"Despicable villain..." Lu Ning was not interested in listening to Xu Xianfu's common dialogue in martial arts novels, and he was about to go out to see the unevenness, but he didn't want a burst of laughter in front of him.

"Haha, Lord Xu, long time no see."
