Chapter 22: Loneliness
Why would anyone as strong as the Hidden Star Sword question Su Canghai's decision to go to the "Ghost Cave"? Then it is necessary to explore in detail the dangers hidden in the real inner mountains of Wuyi Mountain.
As mentioned above, there are many dangerous creatures in the inner mountain, and these creatures are actually less infested in the periphery of the inner mountain, so most of the ordinary tea people's tea picking trajectory is to collect around the periphery of the inner mountain, but those who want to collect treasures are not so easy, and the places where the treasures are located are very rare and dangerous.
Whether it is the ghost cave of their destination in Su Canghai or other places such as Niulankeng, Ghost Cave, Jiulong Cave and the like, each of them is a place with great danger, although it is a bit mysterious to say this, but in the depths of this mountain range, there are some places where the situation seems to be different from the outside.
Just like Su Canghai's destination, the ghost cave.
The "Ghost Cave" is located between the Flame Peak of the Pour Water Pit and the Eagle Beak Rock of the Huiyuan Pit, and is a deep canyon from low to high in the northwest direction. It is precisely because of the uniqueness of the topography and topography that there is only an air inlet but no air outlet here, which makes the wind run through the valley to form a backflow "whirring" sound, like a ghost haunting, a ghost crying wolf. In addition, there is little sunlight all year round, and the whole valley is exceptionally humid and cloudy, and it is rarely visited.
The problem is not the problem, the strange thing is that whether it is day or night, the temperature in the "ghost cave" is lower than the outside world, giving people a terrible sense of coldness, staying in it for too long will cause terrible low temperature symptoms, more than a day ordinary people will have no chance to come out again, and if they do not come out, they will disappear out of thin air, as if they were caught by the ghosts and gods in the deep valley.
Probably because of this, this mountain stream was later called the "ghost cave", but the white cockscomb grows in the ghost cave, so if you want to get it, you have to take this risk, and other tea trees have a similar situation.
However, there are many people on Su Canghai's side, and at the same time, there are strong people pressing the formation, so it is not a problem to obtain some original leaves, so we will turn our attention to Nie Ming's body again.
······
At this time, Nie Ming was still on the road to move forward alone, his goal was the Niulankeng, but the road from Lufeng to the Niulankeng was really not easy to walk, even if he tried his best to run before dark, he still didn't feel the Zhangtang Stream, let alone the Niulanken. However, on this part of the road, Nie Ming did not do nothing.
In the process of traveling, he really met strange "ninjas" holding the nameless knife in their hands, constantly holding the lone tea customers hostage, and this behavior was extremely cautious, looking like a group of well-trained guys, and the communication between them was not words but strange gestures.
Nie Ming didn't really care what the purpose of these people was, but when they started to attack him alone, he couldn't bear it, so when a few sneaky guys approached him, he decisively took down the leader of them, and just as he was about to ask about the purpose of this guy, a masked man rushed directly in his direction like an ant that had blown up a nest.
Nie Ming frowned directly, he doesn't cause trouble but is not afraid of things, this group of guys looks menacing, but in his opinion, they are just some local chickens and dogs, even the leader under his feet is the level of centurion in their army, and it is just an ordinary centurion.
Although there is a saying that ants bite and kill elephants, the number of ants needs to be like mountains and seas, and the more than 20 guys with knives in front of them obviously can't reach this level!
Nie Ming snorted softly, the two halberds were one, and when his halberd danced, the wind rose!
"I advise you to obediently tell the instigator behind it, it's not a good habit to hit a stone with an egg, there is only one life! Be cherished! Nie Ming said that the movements in his hands were not slow at all, he was like a tiger descending the mountain, the dragon was in the air, and the besiegers were not only unable to get close to the moves, but also had to be vigilant at all times against the sharp halberd blades, and for a while, the other party had no inch, even if the number of the other party was dozens of times that of him, he could only sigh.
But even at this time, the besiegers still didn't say a word, they silently made one action after another, and then silently formed a huge encirclement, and finally after a roar, those people rushed up as if they were not dying.
"Dead soldier, it's been a long time, and it seems that I haven't officially been on the battlefield for more than a year." Hearing the roar, Nie Ming understood, and then the halberd in his hand danced violently, "But your loyalty is worthy of admiration, but it's a pity that you chose the wrong opponent!" ”
The wind was fierce and bloody.
By the time the wind and rain had stopped, there was a lot of blood in the trunks, leaves, and clearing around them, and there were no screams, no screams, only the silent sound of death and bones breaking, and the sound of swords colliding with stones on the ground.
The moment they became dead soldiers, their voices were deprived, of course, they didn't know if it was a voice, and their lives and identities disappeared with the voice, which was for confidentiality, because the dead soldiers did not have much culture, and if they lost their voices, there would basically be no leakage.
With a sense of amazement, Nie Ming sent away the dead soldiers around him, and then the halberd in his hand pointed to a shadow not far away: "This brother seems to have been watching for a long time, why don't you come out and see it?" I guess you have some connection with them. ”
Bang Bang Bang! With a burst of applause, a pale-faced man slowly walked out of the shadows: "Originally, I didn't want to appear, because I hate to fight with a combat faction like you, this kind of battle is very troublesome, but since you are looking for death, I can only send you on the road!" ”
"Don't be ashamed! Who are you to know who I am? There was a dangerous aura flashing in Nie Ming's eyes, he had seen a lot of arrogant people, but this person had really succeeded in provoking his anger.
"Your identity? There shouldn't be any need to guess, the only one who will take the halberd in the middle and younger generation of the rivers and lakes is Nie Ming, the acting city lord of Black Rock City, who is really in the land of war, the name of Mobei is quite good in the northwest, but your absolute dust is not around, this is not a desert. The man smiled sadly, "If this was an open place, I would definitely retreat, but this is the southeast, and it is a mountainous area, so it is not a good choice to use a halberd here!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to see what kind of road you are!" Nie Ming tapped his toes, and directly killed the other party with a halberd, this blow was strong and heavy, and if the other party was beaten and did not die, he would be seriously injured.
However, the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after all, the guy who swells on the rivers and lakes generally lives shortly, and he must have two brushes to survive to this day.
Sure enough, his hands shook, and two daggers with cold light flashed in his palms, and then he jumped up and stepped directly on the halberd blade that Nie Ming slashed out! Then he kicked his right leg, and the double dagger in his hand poked directly into his throat before Nie Ming could retract his strength!
But Nie Ming was not surprised, his face was very calm, and even a hint of a smile appeared! I saw that his left hand twisted, and the halberd in his hand was directly split into two, and the person in the air directly lost his strength and fell suddenly. And the double dagger he sent was also directly framed by Nie Ming's halberd, and it couldn't be stored in the slightest.
The opponent retreated immediately after landing, which seemed to be the purpose of retreating without a single blow, but from his retreat action and direction, he smelled a dangerous aura.
"It's fast, the acting is good, but it's a pity it's still a little worse! Procrastination shouldn't be played like this! Nie Ming smiled and turned away, "I still have something to do, you can play by yourself." ”
As soon as the words fell, he rushed out directly in the opposite direction, but things were not so simple, because not long after Nie Ming walked out of the woods, two more black scarves and masked guys appeared in front of him, one of them was holding a knife and the other was a curved bow, which was obviously a tacit combination.
"Xiao San's waste really can't keep people, fortunately, we're used to it." The bow-wielder sneered.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you work, this guy with a halberd must be difficult to deal with." The knife-wielder jumped down and rushed directly to Nie Ming in front of him, "I'm sorry, our mission is to stop everyone, and a dangerous person like you can't stay." ”
"Then it's really going to see if you don't have the ability to do this." Nie Ming was full of fighting spirit and directly faced the two people in front of him.
Behind him, a panting assassin slowly walked out: "Boy, you can't run away, the three of us brothers and sisters work together, who can compete with the younger generation!" ”
"Really? Then come on. Nie Ming assumed a fighting posture.
The eldest brother with a long knife fought with Nie Ming head-on, the third brother with a dagger was like a hungry wolf looking for an opportunity on the periphery, and the bow bearer in the high place shot a cold arrow from time to time, and the battle was scorching and fierce.
······
The battle was very fierce, but a day later he still managed to appear in the Zhangtang stream, at this time although he was embarrassed and covered in blood, but he was still smiling, because he was already very close to his destination when he arrived here, and since stepping into this mountain stream, the mysterious power in the air has been constantly recovering from his injuries under the traction of the exercises.
Zhangtang Stream is a very important water system in the Wuyi Mountain Water Curtain Cave area. It runs through the Zhangtang mountain stream from east to west, and the water area forms a valley that is several miles long. The stream water flows to the east from the foot of Zhangtang Rock, to the foot of the Yuzhu Peak, collects the water of the fragrant stream, and then flows into the Chongyang River. The tea trees on both sides are dizzying, and the end of Zhang Tangjian is his second destination, the bullpen pit.
