Chapter 32: Crossing the Panluo River

"Master Gu, thank you for your help in the days of Yujing City. It was a meeting in Pingshui, but you sent charcoal in the snow, and you knew that you had caused a lot of trouble. I know that Brother Gu has a family and a country, and he hopes to have a great ambition, but he does not fulfill people's wishes. I hope that Brother Gu can protect himself in this dispute, if one day Brother Gu wants to travel through the rivers and blow the bamboo whistle at the foot of Beiruan Mountain, I will greet him. โ€

Gu Taiyuan looked at the envelope anxiously, churning vigorously, and finally dropped something from the envelope. Gu Taiyuan picked up the bamboo whistle with a touch of emotion, gently tugged it in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose as if he were nothing. I shook the letter and continued to read.

"Behind the bamboo paper in the bookcase of Lord Gu, there is a medicine that can suppress the poison of the officials of the DPRK and China. I know that only Master Gu can do this in Beijing. This farewell, I don't know when I will see it, and I hope to live up to this encounter. โ€

"-Wang'an!"

"-Don't read it!"

Gu Taiyuan hurriedly got up, and he didn't care if he was entangled in bedding, and almost stumbled. Ran to the bookcase and tossed vigorously, where was this medicine placed?

"Bamboo paper!"

"Bamboo paper!"

As soon as I found it, Gu Taiyuan found that he didn't see how much he liked books on weekdays, and this bamboo note seemed to be endless today. After a few tosses, the room was also in a mess, but I also saw a bottleneck in the square.

Passing through the long forest, over the treacherous mountains, and now the river has to be crossed.

On the way back to the valley, Bai Gao became extremely indifferent, and he had been rushing for thirty percent of the way day and night. I don't care if Lu Xiaoyun's body can survive, let alone have a wrist injury that hasn't healed.

Hui Secluded Valley is located deep in the North Nguyen Mountains, surrounded by mountains that form a natural barrier. If you want to enter the valley, you have to pass through the miasma of the mountain, the phantom array in the mountain, and the barrier in front of the valley.

The miasma is a natural formation of the North Nguyen Mountains, and ordinary people need to walk around it. Nine out of ten people who intrude are killed, not to mention the phantom array that Elder Shi Lan has planted in this mountain, what is illusory is not only the scene, but also the fear of people's hearts.

This barrier was set up by Wu Man and several elders in the Valley of Flowers. Originally, this enchantment should have been set up by Wu Man and the valley master, but Lu Xiaoyun couldn't learn this secret technique, so it was replaced by a few elders.

However, these are not enough for Bai Gao and Lu Xiaoyun, so it is better to think about how to cross the rope bridge of the Panluo River.

Originally, I thought that Panluojiang was a shortcut, so that I could return to the valley half a day earlier. However, this rope bridge is rusty, and it is so devastating that people dare to get off their feet.

"This bridge...... Will it work? โ€

Lu Xiaoyun's expression tightened, what should I do now?

Return to the U-turn? I'm afraid that returning to the valley is already a luxury.

Play with fire? One step is the abyss.

Lu Xiaoyun poked her head out and looked at the turbulent river, and then looked at the old rope bridge, and her heart became nervous. Can this bridge still be crossed?

Bai Gao poked out a foot and stepped on it hard, trying to see if the bridge was still a little strong. Unexpectedly, these unbearable remnants of wood and rusty iron fell into the river one after another. The only ones that are strong and reliable are these two chains.

Bai Gao turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoyun's hand. The cloth on the wrist was also stained with a faint amount of blood. Finally, he was willing to ask:

"Are your hands okay?"

Lu Xiaoyun heard Bai Gao speak, but somehow lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, fanned her eyelashes, and whispered back: "It's okay." โ€

"This bridge deck should not be able to carry any weight, and when it comes up, try to step on the iron chains on both sides. Don't be afraid, I'm behind you. If you can't hold on, just tell me......"

Bai Gao tore off his clothes as he spoke, wrapping Lu Xiaoyun's hands. I'm afraid that the rust of the iron chain will be in the future, and the traces of the years of the sloppy people, and I'm afraid of hurting Lu Xiaoyun's hand.

Lu Xiaoyun was overwhelmed by Bai Gao's actions, and before Bai Gao could finish speaking, Lu Xiaoyun pulled her hand back.

"I can do it!"

Bai Gao continued to take Lu Xiaoyun's hand and wrapped it in the unfinished scraps. Regardless of Lu Xiaoyun's resistance, he held Lu Xiaoyun's hand tightly, and of course deliberately avoided Lu Xiaoyun's wound.

"Be careful!"

For Bai Gao's light skills, crossing the Pan Luojiang River is not a problem. But it was not so easy for Lu Xiaoyun, coupled with a wrist injury, and the rickety rope bridge did not know if the wound would crack.

Lu Xiaoyun has always had a pimple in her heart, even if she knows Bai Gao's temper, but Bai Gao's sudden return to the past made Lu Xiaoyun feel a little lost.

But now is not the time to think about this, the spirit has come out, and there must be something big. The most important thing for me now is to rush back to the valley. So he tightened the shroud in his hand, took a breath, and prepared to step on the rope bridge.

Lu Xiaoyun's hand had just put on the chain, and she could feel the coldness through the layer of cloth. As soon as his feet stepped on the broken bridge, he staggered and immediately fell over.

Lu Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and stepped on the shaking iron bridge. With each step, the bridge became more and more bumpy. made Lu Xiaoyun feel that his hands were a little strained, and the wound was also a little painful.

But at this time, you can't care so much, every foot you have to be steady and not missed. After a while, I don't know why I became much more obedient while walking on this rope bridge.

Even if Lu Xiaoyun accidentally stepped on it a little heavier, the bridge was not so turbulent. At this time, Lu Xiaoyun wanted to look back at Bai Gao, but she was afraid that she would fall into the turbulent Pan Luo River if she was a little careless.

Lu Xiaoyun hurriedly raised her head, don't look at it if you're afraid. I secretly told myself in my heart that I would slow down, be steady, and it would be over soon.

Lu Xiaoyun knew that the relatively stable bridge deck was controlled by Bai Gao from behind. This also made Lu Xiaoyun a little relieved of Bai Gao's previous behavior. Somehow, it's a little bolder. The pace of river crossing was accelerated.

For Bai Gao, not only did he have to watch Lu Xiaoyun, but he also had to control the stability of the bridge deck for her. What he needs to care more about is how long the bridge can last? Whether it can bear the weight of two people.

One step, two steps......

It was getting closer and closer to the other side, which made Lu Xiaoyun breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that he almost stepped on the air in the next face. The rusty wooden planks fell straight down the Panluo River.

The same iron bridge became extremely restless and jumped wantonly because of this kick. Lu Xiaoyun grabbed the chain even harder, and the cloth in her wrist gradually became redder.

Bai Gao wanted to try his best to calm the bridge, but he was powerless, the bridge seemed to be under the spell, and the crazy tremors were uncontrollable.

Bai Gao vigilantly looked at the junction between the iron chain and the bridge pier on the shore, and found that the chain might not be able to hold on.

"Run!!

These two words of vigilance and command made Lu Xiaoyun's heart rise to her throat all of a sudden. I didn't care about anything at all, so I ran away, only to find that the bridge under my feet was getting farther and farther away from me?!

The chains could no longer bear the weight of the two of them, and they were split in two with a stone pier on the shore. Without the confinement of the stone piers, the rope bridge descended rapidly.

Lu Xiaoyun tightly grabbed the iron lock beside her, but the gravitational force was too fierce, and she was like a floating with nowhere to go, and she was dragged down alive.

The sudden feeling of falling came to her face, Lu Xiaoyun still didn't dare to let go of her hand, even though she could see the red liquid flowing between her elbows, what she was holding in her hand at this moment was hope.

When Bai Gao saw that the chain had flown out of the stone sheath, his first reaction was to reach out and grab Lu Xiaoyun, but the other party immediately hemmed with the chain, and even the tips of Lu Xiaoyun's hair were not touched.

Bai Gao had no choice but to use his strength to tap the broken lock in the air and fly towards Lu Xiaoyun......
