Chapter 271: Meeting on a Cold Night!
The night was dark, the hooves were rattling, and the horses were speeding past the muddy dirt roads after the snow.
"Wow!"
As the rider tightened the reins, the horse threw its head back and let out a long neigh, and after a trot, it gradually stopped. Judging from the large puffs of white gas coming out of its mouth and nose and the ice flowers condensed on its mane, it was obvious that it had been running for a long time.
Immediately, the knight raised his hand and lifted the hood from his head.
Under the brim of his hat, his young, handsome face was covered with frost flowers.
"In front of you is the boundary of Jiuhua Mountain." Zhuge Liang muttered to himself, and his tense face relaxed slightly. However, the gloom cloud that shrouded his eyes still did not dissipate.
In the early morning, it was found that the lord Liu Bei had lost his soul and soul. He pondered a cure.
Soul loss is not a disease of wind and cold, and it is definitely not an ordinary medicine that can be cured.
Fortunately, when he didn't arrive in Xuzhou, he heard his friend Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan say that he had met Zuo Ci, an immortal who lived in seclusion in the mountains in Jiuhua Mountain.
If you can ask the immortals to come to the rescue, you should be able to protect the lord Liu Bei.
After making up his mind, since saying goodbye to Guan Yu at noon, Zhuge Liang did not dare to delay a little, returned to the room to pack his bags, and then left Luoyang with a whip. All the way south to Jiuhua Mountain.
After a day of running, he was sleepy at this moment. As the night deepened, the rough road became more and more difficult to walk.
Zhuge Liang shook the reins lightly and urged the horse to move slowly.
As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. Just wait for a dry place ahead, rest for the night, and enter the mountain again tomorrow.
"Woo woo ......" withered branches swayed, and the wind sounded.
The moment the wind sounded, Zhuge Liang only felt a pause. When he looked down, he saw that the horse suddenly stopped moving forward and stood in place. The mouth constantly hisses uneasily.
"It's hard work for you." It was only when the horse was tired from a long run, Zhuge Liang reached out and patted its neck and whispered comfort.
He was about to turn over and dismount. That's it!
The horse suddenly let out an exclamation, its front hooves were raised, and the man stood up!
Caught off guard, Zhuge Liang only felt that the reins in his palm were loosened, and he was suddenly lifted off the horse!
At the moment of falling from the horse, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stretched out his hand and slapped the ground, his body flicked, and his feet had already landed firmly on the ground. Suddenly surprised, he hurriedly stared at it!
I saw that the war horse seemed to be frightened in some way, and as soon as its front hooves landed, it turned its head and ran in the direction of the road like a madman.
"Woo woo ......" the wind is back!
The wind has not yet blown, and a winter-like chill has enveloped the surroundings!
A cold snap swept the ice, snow and leaves on the ground, and swept in front of the galloping war horse!
"Snort" with a soft sound!
In Zhuge Liang's horrified gaze, but seeing that his mount had not gone far, he suddenly turned over and fell to the ground. The blood on his body flashed out, as if he had been cut by an invisible blade, starting from his chest, and was neatly cut in half up and down!
The hot horse's blood splattered, and a white mist rose in the cold night, blowing with the wind, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood!
"Not good!"
Seeing the tragic death of the mount, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up. Hurriedly turned around and flew forward.
In the rolling airflow, he felt a mortal threat!
The wind whimpered!
The sound of "boom ......" and the loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground kept coming from behind him!
Zhuge Liang hurriedly glanced back. I saw that the withered dead trees on both sides of the road were falling one by one, and only a root about half a person high remained!
This evil wind is strange and unusual! But since it was coming from behind, why did the horse take the risk? Could it be ......
As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Liang suddenly turned around, suddenly changed direction, and swept towards the dead forest beside him.
In front of the road leading to Jiuhua Mountain, in the dark, a pair of miserable blue eyes were as bright as ghost fire! With the flash of fierce light in his eyes, a ghostly figure flew up and chased in the direction where Zhuge Liang disappeared.
"Miss Xia, can you go back with Luo Li?" In a temple of Wa on the edge of the forest, next to a bonfire that has not yet burned out. Luo Li held a bag of potato chips in her hand and sat next to Xia Ruobing. Reached out and fed her a piece of potato chips, and said softly.
Xia Ruobing looked up at the roof of the temple that had fallen into disrepair due to the war. He shook his head as he chewed the chips.
After running away from Xiangyang in anger, she flew aimlessly all the way. I just want to find a quiet place to stay until the end of the mission. I didn't think about it, but I was still easily found by Luo Li, who had the spatial ability after mastering the Kunlun Mirror.
"Hmph, go back now, sister, wouldn't I be very faceless."
"Oh, you don't know what happened to the owner of the palace, so forgive him. If he dares to commit it again, see if this palace doesn't spray him to death with a mouthful of salt soda. ”
"Cut, you also said that you did it on purpose during the day, huh? Don't think sister, I don't know. Xia Ruobing turned her head and glanced at Luo Li. Reached out and grabbed a handful of potato chips from her hand.
"Hehe, how can the palace fight on TV be as good as the scene."
"Are you satisfied? By the way, Diao Chan is also gone? ”
"Well, not long after Miss Xia left, Miss Diao Chan also left. Hey, the master of this palace is so pitiful, after such a blow, I am also crazy. ”
"Poor bastard? Phew! He deserved it! Xia Ruobing stuffed all the potato chips into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and chewed rattle.
"Huh? In such a deserted place, how could anyone come at such a late hour? ”
Suddenly, Luo Li was surprised. Xia Ruobing listened attentively, and from the sound of the wind whistling outside the temple, he faintly heard bursts of broken footsteps coming from a distance.
"Strange."
Xia Ruobing sat up straight, put the heavy handle of Xuan Yue's knife in a convenient position, and secretly guarded.
A moment later, she saw a slender figure wearing a hooded coat at the entrance of the temple, and after tying the horses behind her outside the door, she stepped in.
Turning the shrine that blocked the wind, when the visitors saw Xia Ruobing sitting in front of the bonfire with a knife, their bodies couldn't help but tremble! Turn around and leave.
"Is that you?" Xia Ruobing was surprised, and by the light of the fire, she vaguely saw the face of the person who came hiding under the hood.
See Identity Exposed. The visitor hesitated slightly, and gently lifted the hood to reveal his true face. The rising light of the fire reflected on her peerless countenance, and the ruined temple was instantly illuminated.
It was the Diao Chan who also left Xiangyang after Xia Ruobing's negative anger!
"Miss Xia, Miss Luoli, why are you two here?" Diao Chan shook off the wind and snow on his body, walked to the fire and sat down. A pair of beautiful eyes were full of surprise. She never expected to meet Xia Ruobing here.
"Hmph, can you come, can't I come?" Xia Ruobing pursed her lips. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Luo Li.
"Luo Li, it's your ghost again, right?"
"No! There are so many coincidental things in the world, so you can't all be involved in this palace, right? ”
"Really, not?" Xia Ruobing's eyes were suspicious and fixed on Luo Li, and the expression on her face was full of disbelief.
"Miss Xia, don't embarrass Luo Li, Diao Chan is leaving." As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait, it's coming, this isn't my house, it's dark outside, don't be in a hurry to go." Although she didn't like Diao Chan and Zhou Qi to go closely, Xia Ruobing didn't hate her. Seeing that Diao Chan was leaving, he hurriedly said aloud.
Seeing that the night outside the temple was dark, Diao Chan hesitated slightly and sat down as he said. None of the three spoke, and the atmosphere in the temple suddenly fell silent.
"You ......" for a long time, Xia Ruobing only felt uncomfortable quietly, and couldn't help but open his mouth to break the deadlock. As soon as she spoke, Diao Chan, who was sitting opposite, also spoke at the same moment as if she had a tacit understanding.
"You talk about it first." "Miss Xia said."
Seeing the two of them looking so funny, Luo Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Okay, okay, I'll start with it, what's there to fight about." Xia Ruobing gave Luo Li a fierce look. Tilted his head to look at the sable cicada.
"How did you get here?
Diao Chan smiled slightly.
"The little girl is going to ask Miss Xia like this."
After that, her eyes darkened, and after a moment of silence, she spoke quietly.
After the little woman left Xiangyang, she didn't know where to go. Now that Luoyang has fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, his father-in-law has been imprisoned, and his family cannot go back for the time being. Diao Chan once heard his father-in-law say that Jiuhua is an immortal mountain, and it is the most secluded. I thought of this and found a pure place to live for the time being. I'll do that later. ”
"You don't have to, I'm okay with that bastard. You can go back to him now. ”
Hearing her say this, Diao Chan smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth, and then her face turned straight.
"Xia Ruobing, why is it still going to humiliate Diao Chan at this time? When you and Zhou Lang enter the WTO together, you should be from the same place. The little woman shouldn't have disturbed the two of you, but now Miss Xia disdains him and abandons him. But why did you push him towards me? You must know that my Diao Chan is also a person with wind bones, and I don't have to mention this again. ”
"Humph! It's all that bastard's business! If you don't learn well, learn from others to engage in a harem! It's time to castrate him with a knife! ”
Diao Chan listened to her straightforwardness, and her pretty face flushed slightly. I thought to myself, this Xia girl really dares to say anything. But that scoundrel is also hateful. Only a woman like Miss Xia can cure him.
When the second daughter spoke, she didn't notice that Luo Li, who was holding potato chips and huddled aside to listen with relish, was fascinated in her heart, and at the same time, a trace of sly gaze flashed under her ruby eyes.
At this moment, a neighing of horses outside the temple interrupted the conversation of the two daughters.
At the same time, in the howling cold wind, the sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was coming clearly from far and near from the darkness!
"There is a situation!" Xia Ruobing's expression changed, she bounced up, stretched out her hand and held Duan Yue in her hand.
Diao Chan's hand shook, and the long whip "Li Caiyan" was wrapped around his arm. and Xia Ruobing swept to the temple gate on the left and right.
In the night, I saw a man running like the wind under his feet, running out of the dead woods, and behind him, trees were falling in rows! Something terrible seems to be chasing him!
Wait for the people to run closer. Diao Chan looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise on his face.
"It's him!"
"Huh? Do you know the man? Xia Ruobing couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"This person is Liu Bei's military advisor, named Zhuge Liang. When she first entered Luoyang, the little girl had seen him. ”
"Zhuge Liang!" Xia Ruobing exclaimed in surprise when she heard this. Is this Wa Temple some kind of feng shui treasure, how can anyone come across it!
Zhuge Liang, who was running in a hurry, followed the sound and looked at it, only to see that at the gate of a ruined temple not far from his side, two beautiful women looked at him with surprise. Suddenly his complexion changed!
"Monsters are haunting here! Let's go! ”
"Monsters?"
Xia Ruobing looked behind Zhuge Liang when he heard the sound, and saw a cyclone passing out of the forest, extremely fast! Everywhere you pass, no matter the mountains, rocks, grass and trees, they are all divided into two!
At the moment when Zhuge Liang issued a warning, the cyclone suddenly changed direction and rolled in the direction of the temple!
