"Oh..."I listened to Miyahata's pitiful eloquence, and for a moment I felt that my tone was too much, so I softened my tone and continued, "Then if you don't go with us, where can you go?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that," Miyahata saw that my attitude had improved, and he bared his teeth slightly, and a bright smile bloomed into an extremely beautiful smile, "I've been out for so long, and I've never been caught by those wastes. ”

I nodded slightly, but Duan Ming gently pressed my shoulder behind me. I listened intently, and sure enough, I heard that the group of officers and soldiers had turned into the alley, and we were only a trip away from the tooth room. Looking back at Miyahata, he looked into my eyes with a smile as if he didn't realize it.

"In that case, you should be careful." I whispered, and somehow I didn't dare to look him in the eye. "It's just that there will be no time after this separation, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to listen to you explain your affairs to me."

"No," Miyahata shook his head sincerely, "I can promise you now, and if I have the opportunity to meet you next time, I will tell you everything you want to know!" ”

Crossing the shoulders of the flag, I suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers turning the corner into the avenue and running straight towards us.

"That's... We'll be -"

"—tomorrow." Gong Wan suddenly took my hand, ignoring the officers and soldiers who were coming quickly behind him, and said solemnly, "At noon tomorrow, in the old place at the foot of Lianyue Mountain, Gong Wan will set up a banquet and wait for Miss Lian to arrive." If the covenant is broken, people and gods will abandon it! ”

"Gui Hotaru, he-"

"—well, I'll trust you again." I didn't even want to say, "Tomorrow at noon, under Lianyue Mountain." If you break the appointment again, we will never see each other again in this life. ”

"Return to Hotaru!"

"-You go quickly!" I ignored Duan Ming's interruptions on the side, "If you don't leave, it's really too late!" ”

Miyahata looked back at the soldiers of Prince Huan's mansion, who were only a hundred and ten paces away from us, and finally nodded to me. One jumped to the roof of a house a few feet high, flew into the distance with light skills, and disappeared into the vast moonlight.

Separately.

Since the journey to Lingguang Mountain, I have been having trouble with Duan Ming. It wasn't until I entered the territory of Qilian on the third day that a towering mountain of broken walls appeared in front of the originally endless plain, and I forgot to put on my face for a while, opened my mouth slightly, and looked up in disbelief at the cloud peaks above a thousand feet.

"We're here," Duan looked at my stunned look, and his tone was a little cautiously flattering and tentative, "how is it, it's spectacular... There is a huge stone of broken wall that is thousands of feet high on each side of the southeast of Lingguang Mountain. In addition to the thunder flags stationed in the mountains, if the dead soldiers of each banner want to enter and exit, they must pass through the four narrow roads of water, soil, wind and fire specific to the banner. If someone else tries to break in, they will be blocked and killed by the Thunder Banner soldiers guarding the narrow road with the unique firearm 'Tianshi Sky Switch' in their flag. ”

"How can there be such a steep mountain rock ...... in the world?"

I am not exaggerating, the huge wall in front of me has almost no slope, and the edges and corners are square, just like Pangu wielding a giant axe. And if what Duan Ming said is true, there is such a broken wall on all sides of Lingguang Mountain to protect each other, so I really want to sigh at this magic of nature, there are no surprises.

"Not to mention the rocks on all sides. Even if outsiders can get away with the narrow roads of the mountains, I am afraid that they do not have the ability to walk through the layers of misty forests to the top of the mountain. Duan Shen said, "The maze forest at the foot of Lingguang Mountain is planted by the sect leader according to the mysteries of the four elephants and two rituals, and the poison of the miasma in the meantime can only be solved by the Red Flame Banner of my sect. For thousands of years, many dynasties in the north and south have tried to conquer this mountain without success. The name of our tail sect altar is naturally not called by the world in vain. ”

"Yes, yes, it's really wonderful..."I noticed Duan Ming's pride, so I handed him a cold and resentful look, "This line of work can see such exquisite scenery, and it is not in vain that you ignored my agreement with others and forcibly dragged me around." ”

When Duan Ming saw my expression, the smile on his face immediately faded. Only cramped and cowardly picked the saddle with his fingers, and then he was no longer comfortable to introduce me to the smug look of the Lingguang Mountain General Altar.

Indeed, for the fact that after bidding farewell to the palace flag on that day and getting rid of the soldiers of Prince Huan's Mansion and returning to Taopinlou, Duan Ming couldn't help but pull me to pack my luggage without saying anything, and I still can't help but feel angry when I think about it. It's just that as he said, the sect leader's order to urgently summon the five banner masters to gather at the Lingguang Mountain General Altar is not something that he can dissuade as a small deputy banner master of the Gangfeng Banner.

And when the night palace was invited again, I was so excited that I agreed without thinking about blurting out, and I really didn't have the time to explain the situation to him. And having said that, now that I am the owner of the Tail Sect Gangfeng Banner, and the owners of the Five Banners are gathering to discuss such a major event that has not been seen for more than ten years, I naturally have no reason to shirk the delay.

It's just that the thought of missing the palace flag makes my heart feel a pang of uncomfortable guilt and regret. It's not a taste to think about.

"Then we... Do you want to go into the mountains now? ”

Seeing Duan Ming's swollen face and not daring to raise his head and cautiously ask, the anger in my heart also decreased a little. After thinking about it, he could only sigh softly, trying not to make his tone seem so resentful and harsh.

Duan Mingde ordered me to immediately lead me off the horse, walked to a narrow mountain road on the left side of the huge rock wall, took out the stone python bone through the turbid fog and shook it solemnly in the air, then straightened his chest slightly, turned sideways around behind me and pushed me inside.

"You said we didn't have to go up to the top of the mountain this time, right?" The fog was thick all around, and there seemed to be countless eyes staring at us in the darkness. I couldn't help but be a little nervous, tilting my head and whispering to Duan Ming, who was hanging his head behind me, "I remember you said, what are we going to this time... Exhibition ......"

"Mountainside Pavilion." Duan Ming responded briefly, still lowering his head without revealing half of his expression, "The purpose of this flag master meeting is the same as that one twelve years ago. They are all banner owners who introduce new officials to the other four banner owners. ”

I nodded slightly. Twelve years ago, the former banner master of the Gangfeng Banner, Yu Xi, the king of heaven, Bai Shayu, was killed for committing apostasy, and after Wen Ling ascended to the throne, the sect leader held a flag master meeting for it. And only seven days ago, Duan Ming and I witnessed the death of the old man in front of the banner of the Bishui Banner.

However, in just a few days, the sect leader has already found a new flag master to replace his predecessors......

I vaguely remember that Duan Ming once mentioned that not every flag master would hold a meeting in the sect when he took office. Wen Ling is talented and cold-hearted, and he is especially blue-eyed by the sect leader, so he is fortunate to be the protagonist of the first Five Banner Banner Lord assembly since the founding of the Tail Sect.

And today, twelve years later, if it is prosperous again, it can be seen that the new owner of the Flood Banner must also be very popular with the sect leader.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little glad - judging from the former sect master's favor for Wen Ling, I should be taken by him every day in the future, and I will have no time to find Shui Qing and them. But for some reason, since the last time he was ordered to go to Lifu to steal the treasure and failed, the sect leader had not summoned Wen Ling once.

This matter is really strange, that is, Duan Ming, who is well versed in the relationship between the sect leader and Wen Ling, is also a stranger. However, now it seems that the new favorite of the Bishui Banner has given me a good reason to be idle during this time.

"Duan Ming, do you know who the new flag owner of the Water Reclamation Banner is?" I was slightly worried, "The Sect Master seems to attach great importance to her, and you said that if she knew that Wen Ling was the most powerful and trusted subordinate of the Sect Master before, would she come to trouble us with Gangfeng Banner?" ”

"You don't have to worry."

Passing through the narrow road of the mountain valley and entering the labyrinthine forest, without the surveillance of the countless Thunder Banner dead soldiers on the mountain walls on both sides of Shicai, Duan Ming's voice returned to its usual gentleness and kindness, "Not to mention that the Bishui Banner and the Gangfeng Banner have never had anything to do with each other, you also said it yourself, this newcomer is extremely valued by the sect leader." Since he is such a great strange person, he must not be so narrow-minded. What's more, she was in the early ascendancy, and her foundation was not stable, but Gangfeng Banner was under the care of you and me. Even if there is anything, what are we afraid of? ”

"That being said, I always felt a little uneasy." I covered my face with my cuffs and said, "Even if we can demarcate the boundary with her, but the Feiyan Banner Master treats the old Qiu seniors like a master and a father, and I am afraid that one is difficult to accept a newcomer to replace the position of the Qiu Old Senior's flag master, right?" ”

"That's someone's private matter, and it has nothing to do with us. It's just that the Feiyan Banner and the Bishui Banner have always had a deep relationship for many years, and there won't be any big dislike in the future......"

Duan Ming walked left and right in front of me, avoiding the bushes and thorns on the vines of the dwarf trees, and when he turned around, he saw that I was still frowning and covering my mouth and nose, and couldn't help but smile heartily and said, "-Don't worry, this stench is a miasma formed by the decay of the corpses of birds and beasts in the mountains that fall into the mire and rot all year round. Although it is highly poisonous, anyone in the Tail Sect who has taken the antidote refined by the Red Flame Banner will not be poisoned by it. ”

"Hmm......"

I responded with my mouth, but in my heart I really hated the stench, so I still pinched my nose and climbed with Duan Ming step by step.

Strange to say, this Lingguang Mountain is located in the northwest, and the Qilian Mountains in Layue are the most frozen for thousands of miles, and the cold is difficult to resist. However, since entering the narrow road of the mountain valley of Gangfeng Banner, the atmosphere of this Lingguang Mountain seems to be much warmer, as if there is rolling magma flowing in the mountain.

Because of the warm temperature, the low trees at the foot of the mountain are evergreen all year round, and the mud and bog never freeze, and even the miasma from the swamp lasts for a long time.

I can't help but admire in my heart, the masters in the Tail Sect are like clouds, and there are "Tianping Thousand Obstacles" as the main altar, so it is no wonder that it will dominate the martial arts, and even be so powerful that even the Northern and Southern Dynasties cannot shake it.

"Gui Ying..."Duan Ming looked back and saw that my brows were tightly locked, so he couldn't help but ask again, "Do you have any other worries in your heart, why are you still full of sadness?" ”

"Oh... It's nothing. ”

Shui Qing's face suddenly flashed in my mind, and I disguised a slight smile at Duan Ming, "I originally wanted to tell Wanqiu, if Ji Sarong returned to Taopinlou in my absence, she had to be careful." However, he was in a hurry this time, not only did he never see Wanqiu, but he didn't have time to say hello to Aunt Hua. In addition to that, there's the kid. He is the prince of the Great Heart, and he wants to come... I've never tasted the taste of being missed......"
