37. Haunted house in the rain
The palace maid surnamed Tao is named Hongying, who grew up in the palace since she was a child, and is the girl of Princess Changping in the Ming Dynasty. How can you see through Wei Xiaobao, who is used to lies?
But Wei Xiaobao is the most able to ponder other people's thoughts, seeing that Tao Hongying cares about herself everywhere, and she also understands that she treats herself sincerely, she is inevitably moved, and then she simply compliments her aunt, and when she is separated, she already has a feeling of being a little reluctant.
As for Liu Meng's skills, Tao Hongying also commented carefully. Although the swordsmanship is good, there are many strange martial arts on the rivers and lakes, if you meet a master who is also good at hand-to-hand combat, how to deal with it when the other party leaves no room for it?
And what if, when the long sword is not around, can you still have the power to fight?
Liu Meng has always loved swordsmanship, and even the light skills that come and go are high and high, but also with the idea of practicing to add power to swordsmanship. Now that Tao Hongying, who has no wit, tells the truth, it is quite teachable.
Since his family knows his own affairs, Liu Meng understands that in the future, he must practice the kung fu of his fists and feet, the sword palm that the master ordered before going down the mountain, the Liuyun palm that he learned when he started to lay the foundation, etc., he has nothing to do with hard work. I really don't want to become the fast sword Ah Fei in "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", except for swordsmanship, I don't understand anything else.
The hired mule cart had no driver, and Liu Meng wanted to discard it, but Wei Xiaobao was lazy and reluctant to lie on it and hurry leisurely. At that moment, the brothers had no choice but to tie the two healthy horses they were riding to the back of the cart, and they acted as the coachmen, and slowly drove the cart to the west.
chatting on the road, talking about the ugly things caused by their beginner horseback riding, they were all laughing, especially Wei Xiaobao remembered the jade flower horse given to him by Prince Kang Jieshu, and boasted to Liu Meng, lamenting that he forgot to bring it out of Beijing this time, otherwise riding on it would be much more comfortable than riding in a big car.
Before Liu Meng entered the capital, he agreed with Feng Nandi to meet in Datong, Shanxi. According to the geographical knowledge of the previous life, it seems that the orientation of this Wutai Mountain is more southerly, and it forms a triangle with Yanjing and Datong, and it is not good to take care of both on the itinerary.
After only hesitating in his heart, Liu Meng categorically dismissed the idea of going to Datong to meet.
What is the purpose of entering the world of "The Legend of Deer and Ding"? Completing tasks to get scene tokens is the main thing. As for the anti-Qing restoration and expulsion of the Tartars, it will be about a few hundred years later, and if you can encounter it, you will be distracted, and there is no need to do it at all.
Now his progress is very gratifying, and he has become a sworn brother with Wei Xiaobao, the map hidden in the five books and forty-two chapters has been obtained, and Emperor Shunzhi and Benzheng Huangqi are waiting for him in Wutai Mountain, which is the most important thing.
Sitting in the car and staggering, the two couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. Wei Xiaobao's foundation was weak, so he fell asleep first, Liu Meng sat on the wheel to catch the mule, and at this time, a cloud of rain rose in the northeast direction, which was dark and scary, and after a while, there were raindrops falling.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rain was falling more and more rapidly, and although the brothers could not get drenched for the time being while sitting in the mule cart, the canopy made of firewood mats would soon be soaked, and then it would be no different from being drenched directly outside.
Coincidentally, the roadside near here is full of uninhabited wilderness, and there is no pavilion, house or shed, so there is no place to hide from the rain.
At this time, Wei Xiaobao had already woken up, looked at the white rain between the sky and the earth, and exclaimed: "What can I do, the brothers are going to be soup chickens." ”
At this moment, only the horses' hooves could be heard, and a group of knights, about fifteen or sixteen of them, rushed out from a fork in the road to the south, and they were all crying out in the rain, and they rushed past the mule cart, and vaguely heard: "There is a house in the col ahead, you can hide from the rain, and everyone should hurry up." There are also people who complain: "This rain is really evil, you have to get sick from the rain" and so on.
Liu Meng and Wei Xiaobao were both smart ears and eyes, but they heard it clearly, and they were overjoyed at the moment, raised their whips and shouted, drove the mule cart up, and followed closely in the direction where the more than ten horses were running.
Turning into a col in the northwest, Li Xu entered a wood, in the forest there is indeed a very wide house, the gate is hidden, a big copper lock on it has been pried open and hung aside, there are more than ten horses fastened to the trees outside, but there is no human figure.
In this situation, it seems that the group of horsemen just shouted to no avail, and privately pried the door to hide from the rain. Seeing this, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly screamed and wanted to go in, while Liu Meng was thinking in his mind.
This kind of situation seems to have happened in the book "The Legend of Deer and Ding", if I am not mistaken, this mansion should be the courtyard of the Zhuang family, that is, the place where Wei Xiaobao first met Shuang'er.
The group of knights in front of them should be from the Shenlong Sect, and they listened to the instructions of the fake Queen Mother Mao Dongzhu and came to chase Wei Xiaobao. Originally, in the book, Xu Tianchuan and Mu Wangfu had a conflict with them, and now they have replaced them, so they must be careful and vigilant for a while, and strive to strike first, but don't let them put on that strange formation.
As for the three young grandmothers and others in the house, don't worry, Wei Xiaobao is the hero who killed Aobai, and he is the benefactor of their group of female dependents, and he also received the gift of Shuang'er, so there is definitely no risk.
Thinking of this, Liu Meng commanded: "Xiaobao, stay and talk less, this group is not a good person, if you make a move, you just run around, and someone will naturally save you." Wei Xiaobao sighed and said strangely: "Why, Lao Meng, you can't beat them?" Yes, there are a lot of them, or we will quietly find a hut to hide and wait for the rain to stop and leave. ”
Shaking his head, Liu Meng said in his heart, "This is the first time I have met someone from the Divine Dragon Sect, fortunately, the other party has no masters, just to see it, and Shuang'er is the yearning of countless otaku hearts, how can you miss the opportunity?" ’
The two men tied the mule cart and horses together, and then hurried into the courtyard, and entered a large living room through a patio.
There were candles in the living room, but they were all lit, and a white-haired old man was shouting and everyone was searching. When he saw two richly dressed young men coming in, he recognized that he had met them on the road, but he didn't care, and he ignored them after a glance.
After a while, all the men who had gone around to search turned around, and all of them looked strange, and said, "There is no one in the four places, but every place is cleaned, and the room is full of women's affairs, which is really strange." ”
A local accent named Xu Laosan hesitated: "Xiao Lao'er said before that this house is a famous haunted house nearby, and villagers who go into the mountains to chop firewood often hear the sound of a woman crying, which is so sad that it is not like a human voice, everyone must be careful." ”
Saying this, someone laughed and said, "Female ghosts? We are all the men with the heaviest yang energy, who doesn't have a human life in their bodies, and they will be afraid of them? Just find out and reconcile and reconcile. Someone said: "Most of them are good at martial arts and then pretend to be ghosts and scare those stupid villagers, I am waiting for so many people, what are I afraid of." ”
At this time, I heard a cry of exclamation, and the four people who went to investigate behind had already rushed in, their faces were terrified, and they shouted: "Dead, so many dead! ”
Wei Xiaobao's surname was afraid of ghosts, and he was also very nervous at this time, holding the corner of Liu Meng's clothes tightly with one hand, and sitting on the side of the door and not daring to move.
More than ten men with knives and guns, led by the white-haired old man, all ran to find out, and after a while, they all retreated back with a blank face, gathered together and did not dare to make a sound, obviously things have exceeded everyone's expectations.
In the midst of the rain, a few women's cries suddenly came from outside the hall, the voice was sad and resentful, and it was creepy to listen to, and the strange thing was that this cry would be in the east and the west, adding to the horror in the silence.
