Chapter 4: Cold Valley 1
"Lord Wang, there's a drinking shed in front!"
Gu Li's eyes were sharp, and he saw a small shed on the side of the trail in front of him, stretching out half a bamboo pole, with a piece of cloth hanging on it, and the word "tea" was written crookedly.
"Hmm."
Gu Li wanted to drink water, and he was already hungry for the mess just now, so he was embarrassed to say it with breath in his stomach, and he didn't want to say it when he heard the sound of Fengwu being salty and not light.
Teenage children are stubborn.
"Let's go over."
"Huh? King...... Oh good! β
Feng Wu rode in front, although he didn't look back, he also knew what Gu Li thought, but he didn't want to indulge him.
Gu Lichuan is the orphan of the general Gu Xiang, and he has been raised by Yun Lang since he was three years old. Daddy is a great meritorious, the uncle who raised him - Gu Li called Yun Lang his uncle - and the prime minister of the dynasty, he has never suffered since he was a child, but his nature is not bad but he has the temper of a son, how can he get it like this?
"When you go out, you and my uncle and nephew are commensurate."
"Huh? Oh, yes......"
"Shop, do you have jujube flower cakes?"
Gu Li turned over and dismounted, and the reins were hastily tied to the trees on the side, and it was expected that the soy milk would not run around obediently.
"Country teahouse, how can there be such a delicate thing." The shopkeeper shook the rag a few times with his back to the two of them, threw it behind him, and then turned around.
After looking at the two of them a few times, he frowned and said, "The two of you...... Where's the fight? β
"Back!" Gu Li pointed to the forest behind him, without concealment, the action was so fast that it was too late to stop it, Feng Wu had to pull down his face and scolded secretly: The mouth is so fast.
"Back? ...... hiss" The shopkeeper blinked his cloudy eyes.
"The child is ignorant, don't pay attention to him, do you have something like steamed buns?"
Feng Wu opened the topic, but the shopkeeper didn't give up, pulled out the stool and said, "Come, you sit down first." There are only a few rough steamed buns in the old decay, if the two of you don't dislike it, the old decay will bring it to you. β
"It doesn't matter."
The shopkeeper turned around and took the steamed bun and put it down, looking at Gu Li.
"Is what this little brother said true?"
A great god sat beside him, Gu Li didn't dare to say more, and looked at Fengwu frequently.
Feng Wu poured a cup of coarse tea, smelled it, didn't drink it, went to the side of the tank and scooped half a scoop of water, ignoring the glance in the eyes. Gu Li had no choice but to pick up the steamed buns and eat them, and muttered in a low voice.
"Something strange happened to this forest three years ago, and none of the people who went in could come out normally, the light ones were delirious, and the heavy ones were bleeding, how did you two come here?"
"Does this forest have a name?" Feng Wu picked up a steamed bun and said to Gu Li simply: "Eat it yourself."
The shopkeeper pulled out a stool and sat down by himself: "Yes, there is a name, it used to be called 'Xiaolin', it was named because of children playing, but it has changed since the strange thing, because it often feels windy, and it is accompanied by a harsh sound, so it is called 'Wind Howling Forest'." You didn't come here with anything strange? β
"Nope."
"Nonsense! Don't fool me, old man! The shopkeeper didn't believe what Feng Wu said, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he poured himself a cup of tea first.
Feng Wu paused the cup in his hand and continued to drink it.
"Who are you who can come out of that place, immortal?"
"Have you seen the Immortal Family?" Gu Li hurriedly asked, choked, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea.
"I've seen a few, all of them are characters with good kung fu, saying that they are helping the old man solve the strange thing in the wind howling forest, and he came to the old man to cheat and cheat, and he will never return!"
"I can't get out."
"That shouldn't be, they were from the woods before...... Alas, forget it, the old things are not tied. Tell me how you got out. β
"Riding out."
"Hey...... How do you talk young man? The old man has said so much to you with good intentions, and you use a few words every time to pass the old decay? β
The shopkeeper moved his stool closer to Fengwu, and Fengwu dodged away in advance, vacating a figure. Gu Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, don't get too close, my third uncle doesn't like to touch people."
Third uncle? Feng Wu's face pulled down a little more, this kid called Yunlang's guy the second uncle, this time he became the third uncle, and he was inexplicably one level shorter than Yundu Mountain.
The shopkeeper had to give up when he was stopped, turned his head and asked Gu Li: "Your third uncle hasn't married yet, right?" When your third uncle gets married, you will know whether he likes to contact people or not. β
Feng Wu's knuckles tapped on the table a few times, and he didn't want to look at the shopkeeper, so he just left when he was full.
The shopkeeper's buttocks moved slightly, his elbows were propped up on the table, and he stretched out his head to approach Feng Wu: "Little brother, shouldn't you still be a boy......?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Gu Li sat between the two of them, covering the shopkeeper's mouth with one hand, and busily stroking Feng Wu's back with the other, "My uncle was born handsome and chic, but he never touched flowers and grass, and he grabbed a lot of the girl that my uncle fell in love with, so why rush for a while, you said yes?" β
Feng Wu's knuckles were pinched white, and he really didn't know if Gu Li was praising himself or mocking himself.
The shopkeeper pulled Gu Li and covered his hand: "To put it bluntly, he is a child...... Uh-huh......"
Gu Li took out his other hand and put it behind the shopkeeper's head, and together with the hand he had been holding, he covered the shopkeeper's mouth again, "Don't talk nonsense!" You're hurting when you say that! Nowadays, there are very few good sons like my uncle who are outstanding and innocent, and my uncle has not met a wife who has been with him all his life, so how can he do it indiscriminately, naturally everything must be left to ......"
"Okay, no!" Feng Wu said in a deep voice, I really don't know where Gu Li was fooling around all day when he was in Fengjing!
"Good...... All right. Gu Li choked dryly, didn't dare to look at Feng Wu, and slowly let go of the hand holding the shopkeeper.
Feng Wu took out a small piece of silver from his bosom and put it on the table, and got up: "Let's go." Gu Li also followed.
"Just go, it's so easy!" The shopkeeper slapped the table and stood up, "Let's see if you can walk today!" Just the two of you, you're not the old man's opponent yet, where are you going? β
"Huh." Feng Wu sat on the horse and chuckled, Gu Li just put the remaining steamed buns in his arms, picked up the teapot and poured it into the gourd, thought about it and poured it all again, and directly filled the water tank with the gourd.
"Hey, you guys!" The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to stop him, "Bang"! "Ahh My hands ......," the shopkeeper raised his hands as if against a wall, "what is this?" You can't treat an old man like that! β
"Old man? Okay, let's go. Feng Wu stared at Gu Li's movements, although the forbidden circle is a good magic weapon, I am afraid that it will not be able to trap the shopkeeper for long, after all, Gu Li's mana is not high, and now that his mana is gone, if the other party forcibly breaks the circle, I am afraid it will be a tricky thing.
"Yes." Gu Li put his things away and rode on his horse.
The shopkeeper lowered his hand, his sleeve fell to cover his wrist and hid behind him, and smiled awkwardly: "It's not that old, but it's not good like this...... Either you let me go, and I'll let you go, and everything is easy to discuss...... Feed! Feed! Hey...... Don't go...... What if there are any jackals, tigers and leopards!! β
"This is the forbidden circle-" Gu Li turned around and shouted, "You can't get out, and you can't get in anything else, don't worry!" β
"Oh, no! Feed! Then I'm hungry too......"
"Don't talk much!"
Feng Wu scolded, Gu Li twisted his head and twisted back, and promised: "Yes......"
The two rode in a muffled voice. Gu Li thought back to what had just happened - he felt that the shopkeeper was a little strange, as if he always wanted to get close to the prince, but he couldn't say what it felt, except for the few secret words that the prince knocked on the table, he didn't understand anything. sighed, took out a steamed bun and nibbled on it.
"Well done."
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, grinned, and looked at Feng Wuβhe was still the same straight body, but he finally didn't look so serious.
"How can a forest fire be completely unaware; Why set up a tea shed on the edge of a forest where no one can enter? Furthermore, why change the disguise; Also, he shouldn't tell the lies of the immortal family. β
Feng Wu told Gu Li the reason, but he didn't directly say his judgment, leaving it to Gu Li to figure it out - Gu Li has many places to practice, and this road happens to be a good opportunity. In fact, Fengwu still hasn't said anything, although the spell of breaking the city is strong, but according to the death of the hermit, it was just a battle that happened a month ago, where did it come for three years? In a month, no one will turn into white bones, why exactly, I'm afraid...... It's not easy!
Gu Li lowered his head and thought silently-Immortal Family? If you want to get out of the wind howling forest, you have to break the remnants of the spell of breaking the city, if you don't break it, you can't get out; If it's broken, you don't have to go in again when you come out. After thinking for a while, Gu Li suddenly raised his head: "I understand!" Thank you, Uncle San! β
Hearing this, the corners of Feng Wu's mouth that had just been pulled up fell again......
Walk to a valley.
The mountain fog is shrouded, and the green smoke rises, like a dream. The babbling water of the springs nourishes the green crops, the crowing of chickens and dogs in the distance, and the brown and yellow thatched huts dotted as far as the eye can see. The fragrance of grass wafts under the horse's hooves, which is refreshing and pleasant, a scene of paradise!
"Cold?"
There was a rustling sound behind Feng Wu, as if he was rubbing his clothes.
"No, no, it's just a little cold."
"It's a little colder here than it is elsewhere. You have to work out on weekdays. β
"Yes......"
"Excuse me......" Fengwu saw a middle-aged man walking over with a hoe on his shoulder, and drove forward to ask.
The man stood up and said, "From here, go all the way to the southeast, pass the Lotus Leaf Town, and then go in the same direction, and see a big mountain, Daguan Mountain is inside, I don't know the specifics, you can find it yourself." After the man finished speaking, he was about to bypass the fog and go to the field.
"Wait." Fengwu dismounted and walked in front of the man.
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
"What did you mean by what you just said?"
"You don't know? Didn't you go to Daegsekisan? The man looked puzzled.
Gu Li shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"We're trying to ask where this is."
"Oh, I see. It's called 'Cold Valley', and it's much cooler than other places. The man put down the hoe that was on his shoulder and put his hands on the handle. I'm also going to ask you how to get to Daeguansan. β
Also? Feng Wu heard something and asked, "There are a lot of people going to Daguan Mountain recently?"
"There are a lot of people who inquire about Daguan Mountain, and they are also going over there, I don't know if they really want to go to Daguan Mountain."
"Do you know why they inquired about Daguanshan?"
"It is said that there is a peerless treasure in the world this month, and everyone is vying to pick up the treasure! Why, you don't know? β
"I don't know."
"Hey, I don't know the best, don't go and join in the fun! I heard that there are many treasures in that place, and there are more dead than treasures! β
"Then we-" Gu Li suddenly became curious, his eyes flashed with a blazing light, and he jumped out all of a sudden, and Feng Wu grabbed his back collar and lifted it back behind him.
"Thank you very much."
