Chapter 10 There are rivers and lakes where there are people

striding meteors, no one plotted against Chu Xiang, probably thinking that Chu Xiang was not easy to mess with. The farther away from the city, the fewer and fewer people there are, and the stalkers behind still haven't given up, turning from covert stalking to unscrupulous tailgating. When it was about twenty kilometers away from the city, the road was already inaccessible, and there were more and more traces of beasts, Chu Xiang let go of his footsteps and began to hurry, and the followers also let go of their footsteps and chased after Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang was a little unhappy, this person was too arrogant, and he wanted to turn around and kill this person, thinking of what he said in front of his parents' grave, he sighed, sped up, and soon the stalker was thrown away by Chu Xiang.

Running along the highway, if it weren't for the cold weather that made the road surface of the highway icy, Chu Xiang wouldn't have to work so hard, driving or pedaling a bicycle is much faster than rushing on two legs.

In today's situation, only people who have reached the level of strength of Chu Xiang dare to travel long distances alone, the winter is fine, when the weather is a little warmer, there are fierce beasts everywhere, all kinds of legendary beasts appear from time to time, there are pterosaurs, golden eagles, vultures and other terrifying birds, there are tigers, leopards and bears, and even those legendary creatures appear from time to time, and it is easy to be shot down by birds when the plane takes off and lands, not to mention the land route, the water beasts are also rampant in the rivers, and the planes, railways, highways, and ships are extremely high-risk.

In winter, due to severe cold and extreme natural disasters, railways have basically been unable to operate, highways or national highways are better, but they are also seriously damaged, coupled with the chaos of the great change, most of the roads are blocked, the most convenient way to travel is to ride a bicycle, but now the road is icy, and the car can not be ridden.

After rushing for a long time, Chu Xiang suddenly felt a little stupid, believe it or not, these things will not change, as the same Duan Meng said, no one is indispensable, no one can change the progress of history, there is no difference between what will inevitably happen and not looking at it, besides, the people above don't care, they are typical of dogs and rats, but think about it now, there is nothing to do, so they should all go out to travel, and by the way, they will feel at ease.

The further north you go, the cooler it gets, and the occasional sight of roadside villages and towns being populated, I think there are still a lot of self-sufficient lives in small places.

It's rare that it's not a long time to rush, you don't have to keep too much physical strength, just to test your limits, Chu Xiang ran for a whole day, running almost 500 kilometers in 24 hours, never stopped to rest in the middle, never ate anything, and was soaked in the wind and snow of more than 20 degrees below zero.

Stopping in a small town and finding a small house in the leeward, Chu Xiang picked up some firewood in the fastest time, lit a fire, took off the soaked clothes inside, and only wore the fleece jacket and pants outside, and only took off all the clothes and roasted them after the room was warmed.

As soon as the soaked clothes were taken off, they began to freeze, and after finding a pot to cook some beast meat, and drinking some hot broth, Chu Xiangcai felt less cold.

After eating something to warm his body, Chu Xiang went out to find some clothes and quilts and other things, and came back, moved the fire away, laid out clothes in the warm place, and put enough wood in the fire before falling asleep.

After sleeping for six hours, Chu Xiang had completely recovered his energy, caught a beast and came back for a full meal, baked the dried clothes and put them on, Chu Xiang started to hurry again.

After two days of driving and walking for more than half a day, I finally almost reached my destination. Looking at the vast white river under his feet, Chu Xiang wanted to chant the first words and pretend to be forced, but the river was completely frozen, and he no longer flowed eastward, and he really couldn't think of a poem that suited the situation.

Collecting his intestines and scraping his belly, exhausting his brains, Chu Xiang was thinking hard, when he suddenly saw two figures rushing out of the woods at the foot of the mountain in front of him, one in front of the other, and seeing that the situation was two men chasing and fighting. The two figures fought fiercely in the white river and mountain, and not long after, the person who came out first was cut down by the people chasing behind, and his body was on the river.

When Chu Xiang was about to go down the mountain, suddenly a person from the opposite river flew over, and went straight to the place of the deceased.

Seeing such a master here, Chu Xiang's heart moved, and he was about to go down the mountain, when the sound of gold and iron in the valley came, and there was someone fighting again. What is going on here, why are there such masters, and why are there so many disputes? Chu Xiang thought about it for a while, decided to figure out this problem, and immediately went down the mountain to the place where the fight was fought.

The leaves of the mountains and forests have fallen off, and the ground is covered with thick snow, Chu Xiang didn't dare to be careless, jumped down from the trees, and just went down to the valley, Chu Xiang felt a pang in his heart, concentrating on the knife, and didn't dare to move forward. In the small valley, there were two peerless masters, one in the east, and the other in the northwest near the river bank, a hundred meters apart, no one could be seen under the barrier of the woods, and the powerful aura was like a brilliant fire, clearly reflected in the mind, making people jealous.

When Chu Xiang discovered the other two, the other two also discovered an existence that could threaten him, and the three of them did not dare to move forward anymore, and they confronted each other in a strong manner.

The fighting in the valley continued, and the group of people who fought hard had no idea that the figures appeared above their heads, shouting and screaming, and countless blood splashes in the sparse woods, dyeing the snow-white snow bright red.

Who are those two people and why are they here, Chu Xiang's mind is spinning, but he doesn't have the slightest clue, the person in the northwest should be the master from the opposite river, his vertical body is quite Wudang's body charm, it should be the successor of Wudang, the person in the east has no chance to see the face, but he doesn't know who it is, his breath is more awe-inspiring, not as condensed and restrained as the person in the northwest, it is obviously more troublesome.

When the three of them confronted each other, the battle in the valley had come to an end, more than a dozen people were almost dead, and there were only two panting people left, and after a while, there was a sudden scream, and there was only one breath left in the valley.

The rest of the man was supposed to be wounded, and did not leave immediately, but rested in place. Chu Xiangxin was jealous, he didn't dare to risk being besieged by the two masters, and he wanted to know what was going on in the valley, and he didn't want to leave just yet, let alone be known by the injured person in the valley, attracting two strong enemies.

There was silence in the valley, and the faint breath of the man in the valley was like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment, or to leave at any time.

With so many people fighting here, it is obvious that there must be something attractive here, and if the purpose of the two people on the opposite side is something in the valley, they will definitely not let the injured person leave, and if not, it doesn't matter if the injured person leaves or not. Chu Xiang is waiting, waiting for the injured person to leave, to see the reaction of the two people opposite, if the two people on the opposite side stop the injured, then there will definitely be a fight, if it is not stopped, it is natural that everyone will be happy.

I don't know if the two on the other side have the same idea, and they also want to be a yellow finch behind. Under the pressure of the breath of the three people, the valley was silent, and even the beasts did not dare to approach, all of them were quietly waiting for the change of situation, and occasionally the ice crystals on the trees fell, disturbing the heartstrings.

Time passed slowly, and after about half an hour, the wounded in the valley moved, left the valley, and went to the river. The wounded moved, and the valley was suddenly slaughtered, and the breath of the three people was entangled with each other, and a big battle broke out at any time.

Chu Xiang stared closely at the movement of the wounded, the wounded slowly left the valley, crossed the position of the person in the northwest, and the three of them were more intensely restrained, and after a while, the figure of the wounded appeared on the white river, and no one intercepted the wounded and let him leave freely.

Chu Xiang frowned, such a change made him unexpected, could it be that the two people on the other side were also passing by? How could there be such a coincidence in the world, or did it mean that what they wanted was still in the valley and was not taken away, so they didn't intercept the person.

The valley was still quiet, the atmosphere of slaughter was loosened, the entangled qi slowly dispersed, and none of the three of them moved, nor did they dare to relax their vigilance.

The wind became stronger and stronger, blowing the branches of the trees and shaking endlessly, and the ice crystals on the trees fell from time to time, smashing the snow on the hillside and rolling down, Chu Xiang stood still, waiting for changes. The opponent is hard to find, and in the face of two such masters, Chu Xiang didn't want to leave just yet, and intended to try his best.

The sky is getting dark, dark clouds are covering, and a heavy snow is coming.

Suddenly, the man in the east spoke, and a voice like thunder buzzed, shaking the snow and ice on the trees: "Two friends, it's not a matter to go on like this, it's better to talk openly and honestly." ”

Chu Xiang didn't have an interface, and after a while, the man in the northwest said, "How do you talk about the Fa?" The sound is clear, and the hollow valley echoes for a long time.

"The Sprinkle family is here, just to watch a play, and has no intention of competing with the two." A thunderous voice said.

"Oh! What about that friend? Qingyue's voice said.

Is it just watching a play, why is it so coincidental, the man didn't say anything, but asked, what are the plans, Chu Xiang turned his mind around, and said, "Passing by." ”

The man in the northwest laughed and said, "Does it make sense to talk about the Fa like this?" ”

The valley fell silent, and after a while, the people of the east said: "I heard in Qingcheng that there is a dragon crossing here, take off the snake and molt, the wind says that this thing is as thin as a piece of paper, invulnerable, and intends to open my eyes, so I came here." ”

This person is the first to speak out, so it can be regarded as sincere, but I don't know whether it's true or not.

"I see." The man in the northwest said: "I met a wanted criminal on the way out of Qingcheng, and I chased him all the way, and I didn't want to lose my trace in the opposite river, and I saw someone fighting on the river, and I came across the river, and I heard that there was a fierce fight here, so I came to take a look." ”

Compared with the words of the man in the east, Chu Xiang believed in the person in the northwest more, he saw the man coming across the river with his own eyes on the mountain, and the man in the east had been hiding here at some point, his intentions were unpredictable, and his heart was negotiable.

After a while, seeing that no one was silent, the people from the northwest asked, "Is this also the intention of a friend passing by?" ”

This sentence was asking Chu Xiang, and Chu Xiang said: "I saw you coming across the river on the mountain, and I saw you intentionally, and when I heard the movement here when I came down the mountain, I came to see it." ”

"My friend is from Wucheng and going to Anseong?" The Northwest asked. The highway on the mountain leads from Museong to Anseong.

"Ghost town ahead." Chu Xiangdao.

"There is no conflict between everyone, it is better to investigate the affairs of this place together than to waste time like this." People of the Northwest.

"Okay." The man of the east answered.

Chu Xiang secretly thought, this person's words are a little naΓ―ve, the person in the east is deep in thought, I don't know what to do, this person proposed this, it is tantamount to throwing himself into the net, he originally planned to see this person, if he left here, if he didn't see anyone, he didn't say anything, this person could still be the person in the middle of the man's plan, thinking about this, Chu Xiang said: "That's what I mean." ”

"That's very good." The people from the northwest laughed and walked first to the middle of the valley.

When the people in the northwest were moving forward, Chu Xiang also slowly went forward, and the three of them were only a hundred meters away from the middle of the valley, and after a while, the figure of the person in the east appeared in Chu Xiang's eyes first.

As far as the eye can see, the person in the east is a tall and majestic middle-aged man with a strange face, and his face is a euphemism, and to put it bluntly, it is ugly. This person is about 1.9 meters tall, with a four-foot iron whip hanging from his waist, and a large military uniform casually covering his body, revealing an indescribable chic in his majesty, and he doesn't look like the cunning and cunning man.

When he saw the big man in the east, the young man from the northwest then also appeared in Chu Xiang's sight. The young man from the northwest was a three-foot Qingfeng, with a slender figure, wearing a Taoist robe, fluttering clothes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like warm jade, long hair tied into a Taoist bun, a Taoist dress, indescribably handsome and chic, a clear and innocent posture.

When he saw the two of them, Chu Xiang also saw the situation in the valley. The valley was in a mess, the number of corpses on the ground far exceeded Chu Xiang's expectations, the valley dozens of meters wide was full of corpses, some had been frozen into ice sculptures by ice and snow, and there were more corpses in the valley, and the people who died here were afraid that there were not one or two hundred.

Although the three of them appeared separately, they did not dare to be careless, they were on guard and kept a proper distance from each other.

Standing twenty meters apart from each other, the young man in the northwest hugged his fists and said, "In Xiashi Wuzheng, I have seen two." ”

This person is dressed up, Wudang swordsman is undoubted, this person's name, even if it is the most ordinary true or contentious word, it is also far-reaching, nine times out of ten is the real name, such a demeanor, but it makes Chu Xiang a little ashamed, and at the moment he bowed his hand slightly to Shi Wuzheng and said: "Chu Xiang, fortunately." ”

The big man in the east also hugged his fists and saluted: "In Xia Gongsun Qi, I have heard the name of the sword fairy for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really had a dragon and a phoenix among the people." ”

Chu Xiang's mind moved slightly, that Gongsun Qi actually knew Shi Wuzheng, Shi Wuzheng's name is obviously not false, then the name of Gongsun Qi must not be false, but Gongsun Qi's name has never been heard, and he doesn't know where it is sacred.

"Brother Tai smiled, it's not worth mentioning in vain." Shi Wuzheng smiled.

"The one who became famous in Qingcheng last year must be the Chu Xiang brothers?" Shi Wuzheng looked at Chu Xiangdao.

Chu Xiang was a little surprised, this person actually knew him, but thinking about the movement that time, he also understood, and nodded slightly.

"Although I don't know why Brother Chu acted so extremely, I think there must be something else hidden." Shi Wuzheng said, there was no hostility in his eyes.

The past was reminded and poured into his heart, and Chu Xiang felt pain and anger in his heart. Sensing the subtle change in Chu Xiang's expression, Shi Wuzheng changed the topic and said, "The situation here is so tragic, can Brother Gongsun have a clue after watching for a long time?" ”

"These ignorant people have come to fight for treasures, and they have clashed with each other, and I have been here for three days, and I have not seen any suspicious instigators, and I wonder if anyone will come." Gongsun Qidao.

This person has been lurking here for a long time, and there has been some reservation between his words, I don't know if it is really as he said, just a boring bystander, or a black hand of incitement.

"Let's take a look inside." Shi Wuzheng said.

Gongsun Qi nodded, and the three of them headed deeper into the valley. The further inside, the more corpses on the ground, some of which had been torn apart by the beasts, apparently dead for not a short time, with blood stains and broken corpses everywhere.

"You've been here for so long, are there any lurkers around?" Chu Xiang suddenly asked.

"I searched the surrounding hills at dawn and found no one lurking, and I wonder if anyone like you came after dawn." Gongsun Qidao, the wording in his words was a little undesirable to see Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang understood that this person deliberately said this because of his suspicions about him, so he stopped talking.

"The terrain here is complicated, so be careful." Shi Wuzheng had to play a round.

The three of them walked to the end of the valley, where the woods were thicker and there were slightly more corpses, and when they looked around, they found nothing unusual except for a beast's den.

Chu Xiang looked at Gongsun Qi, unconcealing the suspicion in his eyes, and Shi Wuzheng also looked at Gongsun Qi, wondering what he had seen in the three days here, or nothing.

The calm valley was full of murderous intentions again, and Gongsun Qi smiled bitterly: "It's the first time I've been here, and there have been people fighting here in the past few days, and the Sprinkle family doesn't want to mix with these troubles, so they haven't been close here." ”

"Did Brother Gongsun see any special things?" Shi Wuzheng groaned and asked.

"Nope." Gongsun Qi shook his head, picked up the wine jug hanging from his waist and took a sip.

"It seems to be a rumor." Shi Wuzheng said.

"That's so, farewell." Chu Xiang raised his slightly narrowed eyelids and said to Shi Wuzheng.
