Chapter Eighty-Nine: Breaking the Army Puzzle
When he woke up again, Yan Xin had already returned to his residence, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Meng Jiu with a worried face.
"Senior Sister Yanxin, you've finally woken up."
Meng Jiu saw her wake up and quickly helped her up.
She was a little confused, obviously she was still in Hantan yesterday and around that strange man, why did she suddenly come back now. And now Zhou Shan and Chen Lu are not in the house, only Meng Jiu is staring at her alone.
It was not early, how long had she been unconscious, and what was the last word of the man.
"I ...... What's wrong with me? ā
Meng Jiu sighed, as if to blame her for her recklessness: "You fainted outside the door of Huanyifang last night, and other junior sisters saw you before sending you back." Is the training too tiring? Or is the injury from last time still not healed? ā
Before Meng Jiu's words were finished, Yan Xin's stomach took the lead in answering one of the questions.
Yan Xin touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Meng, I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'm just too hungry......"
It's not that she didn't notice that she obviously fell into the cold pool yesterday, but now her clothes and hair have no traces of water, which is too amazing.
"It's been prepared for a long time, you can taste it."
Meng Jiu brought a bowl of steaming lean porridge from the table, but because of the identities of the two people, he still let Yanxin drink it by himself.
Seeing that after eating a few bites, his color gradually turned rosy, and he asked tentatively, "Then do you want to rest today?" I'll help you and Senior Brother Zhuang take a vacation? ā
Yan Xin hurriedly waved his hand, and immediately jumped off the bed to prove that he really had nothing to do.
"I'm already fine, anyway, Senior Brother Zhuang should take us to get acquainted with the environment at the Breaking Army Gate today, how can I not go?"
This is really not a matter of feasting on the heart, it's just because that senior sister named Ziqiu is also too fierce, if she knows that Meng Jiu is helping her so much, she doesn't know what reason she has to find to deal with herself.
At the insistence of Yan Xin, Meng Jiu had no choice but to fulfill her wish, personally brought her to the team led by Zhuang Dezhao, and specially took care of Zhuang Dezhao for a few words.
Yan Xin saw it in his eyes, and only felt that if Meng Jiu didn't take the wrong path in the future, he would naturally have a bright future, but what was the reason for him to become what he was after?
Gu Baixiu also seemed to have heard about her fainting, and wanted to ask several times, but he always swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.
This made Yan Xin have a wonderful mood that he didn't answer, and he didn't answer.
"I'm fine, I just got lost last night, and then I was so hungry that I fainted."
finally found an opportunity to come forward.
Gu Baixiu nodded, and replied untimely: "That's good, it's good that you're not lazy." ā
"Am I that kind of person in your eyes?" This banquet was really unhappy, and he had to pester Gu Baixiu to give himself an explanation.
Gu Baixiu is also a very honest person in front of women, and he has no routines to deal with, and he pierced the heart of the banquet without thinking.
"To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought you were a delicious woman, like the kind of person who can walk three steps and never walk half a step more."
Yan Xin was stunned in place, Gu Baixiu had said exactly the same thing in the previous life, and it was a year after they had known each other.
Could it be that between her and her senior brother, does that kind of tacit understanding, or a tacit understanding that has passed through time?
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, in the previous life, it was not easy to keep her senior brother away from that troubled water, and in this life, she must not involve her senior brother.
After that, Zhuang Dezhao introduced each location in great detail, from the Xianchen Hall to Longjiu Spring, from the Heavenly Step Plank Road to the Tiger Skin Rock, and he almost didn't explain the origin of these places clearly.
These new disciples were very excited, and it was already unthinkable for them to enter this Broken Army Mountain.
When he reached the foot of Shuanglong Creek, Zhuang Dezhao stopped.
"Look at this stream, do you find anything unusual?"
Yanxin understood what Zhuang Dezhao wanted to say, there was a mystery in this Shuanglong Creek, and the disciples of Pojun Mountain were used to it. The main reason is that the stream seems to have been cut off from the middle, flowing in two different directions.
"This water is flowing in a strange direction, how can this be?"
"It's strange that this water flows west and east."
The disciples whispered, and some touched with their hands, as if they didn't believe their eyes.
"This is a puzzle that Master Guan Yan has left for each new disciple, no one has solved it so far, if you can understand the truth, you can get the reward of the master."
Zhuang Dezhao looked at them with a smile, and slowly threw out a reward, causing everyone to start looking around.
Yan Xin's heart moved, this puzzle is indeed there in every session, and the answer is only known to the first disciple or the disciple who has been in the beginner for a long time, and he once pestered the master to tell him, but he has never practiced it himself.
I heard that as long as this mystery can be solved, there will be face in Pojun Mountain.
Yanxin slowly walked in front of everyone, teased the corners of his clothes, and began to express his opinions.
"Actually, the stream flowing backwards from the middle is just an illusion, and there is actually a hot spring under the stream, but someone has opened a gap and pretended to be a small hot spring."
"Drilling in with fresh air from below causes the heat to go upwards and push the water in the opposite direction. But heat alone could not turn back all the stream. Presumably, on the other side of the stream, there must be another real spring. ā
Anyway, she just repeated what the master said to her that day, and after finishing speaking, she was ready to be amazed by the winners.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Dezhao refuted her with a smile unhurriedly, "It makes sense, but it's not all right." ā
"Huh?" Yan Xin was stunned by this head-on drink.
How could that be?
Zhuang Dezhao still chuckled, and said sincerely: "I can't tell my junior sister about this specific answer for the time being, I can only say that you are only half right." ā
"This ...... How so? ā
Yan Xin didn't understand a little and muttered to himself.
She remembered that this was what her master had told her.
At this time, Gu Baixiu suddenly stepped forward with a jade flute in his hand, obviously he was wearing exactly the same clothes, but he was dressed like a Taoist priest who was about to become an immortal.
"What Miss Liu said is actually right, there is indeed a small hole dug in the ground, but this stream is not completely reversed, but because the sunlight passes through the gossip mirror in front of the mountain, I think the mystery is on that gossip mirror."
Then, everyone looked at the hanging big gossip mirror, and they couldn't figure out what kind of song was in it.
Zhuang Dezhao nodded, and said, "This junior brother is really powerful, when it comes to the apprenticeship ceremony, I will definitely report to the master." ā
Yan Xin sighed, originally thinking that he would be able to take advantage, but he didn't expect to let Gu Baixiu cut off his beard halfway. After all, he is a senior brother, and he can't blame others for his good brains.
"Senior brother, how do you know?"
Under Zhuang Dezhao's appreciative eyes, Liu Yanxin crossed the crowd and squeezed to Gu Baixiu's side and asked.
Gu Baixiu also looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why such a simple question could stump so many people. "It's obvious."
Yan Xin felt that discussing this kind of thing with him would not lead to anything.
In the end, they arrived at the foot of the other side of the Pojun Mountain, which was at the threshold of the Seven Killing Gates, presumably Zhuang Dezhao brought them here to see the appearance of this Tiger Hill.
It is indeed called Tiger Hill because the Seven Killing Gate feeds six tigers, and this tiger has always been placed here as a formation eye.
It was indeed a hill, but there were many chains hanging from the hill to lay the foundations, and around the hill was a pool of living water mixed with medicinal wine, and no one knew where it would go.
Those tigers are fierce and abnormal, and they have no mercy on outsiders who dare to enter without permission, and they have heard Gu Bai Xiu talk about their glorious deeds before.
Once the master Shang ordered her to go to the Seven Killing Gate to practice, she was against these tigers, probably because her strength was too strong, causing these tigers to jump like thunder, and the claws and teeth were not merciful, which also made Yan Xin lie in the room for seven days.
Before they could get closer, the tigers, who were not bound by foreign objects, had already begun to stir.
"It seems that the white-skinned tiger among them is their leader, and it looks bright, and there is no teeth and claws at all."
I don't know where the person came out, and when he saw a tiger, he was so able to blow it, which caused Yan Xin to roll his eyes.
Before Yanxin could reach the stone steps, two of the tigers had already paced over and were approaching in the direction of Yanxin.
Seeing this scene, Yan Xin took two steps back and secretly screamed that it was not good. No, they won't remember the hatred of the previous life.
"Junior brothers and sisters, hurry back a little, these tiger beasts seem to be a little wrong today." Zhuang Dezhao hurriedly pulled back the two disciples who wanted to come forward to take a look.
Gu Baixiu flashed to Yan Xin's side at this time, and asked sideways, "What did you do?" ā
"IāI don't know."
Yan Xin swore to the sky, she never expected that these tiger beasts would be so sensitive, and they could detect the mistakes they made before Yan Xin was reborn.
Seeing that the eyes were about to open, a strong wind blew all around, and the hanging chains began to shake.
Zhuang Dezhao also became nervous, he had never seen anyone trigger this battle for so long in Pojun Mountain.
"Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Liu, you hurry back, the ferocity of this tiger beast is definitely not something you can resist."
But at this time, even if Liu Yanxin wanted to retreat, it was useless, those tigers had already occupied different positions, and the bayonets that were originally hidden under the ground suddenly rose from the ground, forcing Yanxin to retreat to the center of the formation again and again.
The wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, and then there were gravel falling from the stone wall above, Gu Baixiu wanted to catch the banquet several times, but he was also too busy to take care of himself.
Yan Xin relied on his previous memories to dodge the sharp leaves that came from all directions.
The six tigers also changed from pacing to swimming, and they circled around Gu Baixiu and Liu Yanxin. It seems that they are looking for an opportunity to tear them apart.
