Chapter 103: After the Praying Mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch
The weather that used to be beautiful and sunny suddenly turned into a fierce wind and a cold cold, which has been rare for more than ten years.
When she went out, but seeing that there were no pedestrians in the market, Li Xiangling knew that today's business would end dismally.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiangling wanted to close the door and go upstairs alone to rest.
Unexpectedly, just as he closed the door and stepped onto the staircase, the door that had always been strong and stable was suddenly blown open by a sudden gust of wind without warning.
After the wind and sand entered the house, it was really not a bit of affection, and immediately made the house stools overturned, and many tea leaves on the side were also overturned to the ground.
Even the tea that had been brewed on the inside of the house was not spared, and without exception it was blown into a little dust, apparently undrinkable.
In this situation, Li Xiangling was dumbfounded. Thinking that I have been running this place for many years, how could such a scene have happened, will there really be any disaster?
Li Xiangling thought as she walked quickly to the door, but saw that the sky outside the house was overcast and heavy, and there was hardly any sunlight to be seen.
At this moment, the shopkeeper hurried over.
Li Xiangling saw that his expression was solemn and a little flustered, and he knew that something big was going to happen.
In order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, Li Xiangling dragged the guy into the house, and then went into the room to talk secretly.
In the secret room, the frightened guy told Li Xiangling what happened last night.
After Li Xiangling heard about this, she knew that it was very important, so she immediately tried to get in touch with Xiyue Pavilion.
At this time, Li Xiangling did not know that there was already chaos inside Xiyue Pavilion, and Kong Fanjin and Kong Ruixin's whereabouts were still unknown.
At the same time, Kong Fanjin was going to Zhang Tianjiao's hiding place with Bai Muyun.
In order to buy time for others as much as possible, so as to find the right time to turn defeat into victory. Along the way, Kong Fanjin tried all kinds of ways to delay. And although Bai Muyun had already noticed something unusual, he didn't dare to act rashly.
The two of them had been away from Qiling Mountain for many days, but Kong Fanjin had repeatedly postponed the time to find Heavenly Jade and Zhang Tianjiao, which made Bai Muyun feel deeply uneasy at the same time, but also vaguely felt that Kong Fanjin was pretending to be with him. Maybe Kong Fanjin didn't want to take her to get the Heavenly Jade at all, let alone let her know Zhang Tianjiao's true location.
However, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and Bai Muyun, who is a woman, will never be able to monitor him all the time, as if it is good to do this.
Just when Bai Muyun was at a loss, the news that made him even more uneasy came immediately.
According to Zhang Tianyi's biography, Kong Ruixin has been rescued by Yue Jichao at the moment. Kong Fanjin must not be allowed to know about this matter, otherwise, he will be out of control.
After seeing this letter, Bai Muyun couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly scolded himself: "Zhang Tianyi, you idiot who has more than enough success and more than failure, you know to cause trouble for me!" ”
After this incident, Bai Muyun also realized more clearly that following Zhang Tianyi's rabble, in the end, he could only achieve nothing, and he was very likely to get into trouble. That being the case, it is better to find another way out as soon as possible.
And the top priority now is to try to stabilize Kong Fanjin, even if he can't achieve the ultimate goal, he must ensure that he can get out of the way.
For this reason, Bai Muyun warned Kong Fanjin that he must be allowed to see Zhang Tianjiao within one day. Otherwise, Kong Ruixin's life will be difficult to protect.
In fact, Kong Fanjin had already received a secret report, saying that Kong Ruixin had escaped safely, so he immediately took action. If not, Kong Fanjin would not have been able to deal with Bai Muyun here without fear.
However, even so, Kong Fanjin still had to pretend that everything was as usual, lest Bai Muyun become suspicious and then disrupt the whole plan.
But Bai Muyun is not the kind of person who is played around and doesn't know it. On the day she was about to meet Zhang Tianjiao, Bai Muyun remembered a small detail that she hadn't noticed before.
Thinking that in the afternoon, Bai Muyun, who was extremely hot and had some habits of the eldest lady, naturally couldn't stand this kind of torment, so she found a nearby shop and rested there for a while.
During this process, Kong Fanjin said that he felt unbearably thirsty and wanted to add another bowl of water.
Because Bai Muyun was already in an irritable state at this moment, he didn't care about it.
Just as Kong Fanjin went to ask the store for water, a man dressed a little strangely passed by Kong Fanjin.
The man was not tall, thin, always bent over, and coughed incessantly.
Don't look at the hot weather at this time, he is very tightly wrapped, and it seems that he has some incurable disease.
I saw that he was wearing a hat on his head and covering his face with gauze, revealing only his two eyes.
The man's slightly wrinkled hand also held a broken twig, like his walking stick. The man seemed to have some problems with his legs, so that he limped when he walked.
Seeing this, Bai Muyun wanted to go forward to find out. But before she could get close, she was smoked back by the stench emanating from the man's body.
Seeing this, Bai Muyun expected that he was not an important person, so he did not continue to pay attention to the person's whereabouts.
Now it seems that the only person worth doubting along the way is this man of unknown origin and strange behavior.
However, at that time, Bai Muyun was afraid that he would infect her, so he didn't dare to step forward, but he didn't expect this person to be the key to the whole thing.
Fortunately, I am about to see Zhang Tianjiao in person, so let's put aside such trivial matters for the time being.
After about an hour, Kong Fanjin took Bai Muyun to a mountain stream.
The rocks are overgrown with weeds, and only a stream cascades down from the mountains. When the water was turbulent, I saw that the water in the pool splashed and scattered, hitting the boulder.
Near the bend, there is a river beach, on which three tenacious ancient trees are resolutely erected.
As we reached the heights, the things at the bottom became more and more indiscerning, and I could only hear that the stream was still flowing.
As the two of them got farther and farther away from the ground, the streams and ancient trees could not be seen, and only the misty and confused scene still appeared in front of them.
"What, scared? It's too late to regret it now. Kong Fanjin, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around, and then said to Bai Muyun who was following closely.
Bai Muyun was a little flustered because of the dangerous terrain, and after Kong Fanjin said this, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. From this point of view, the invincible Bai Muyun also has something she is afraid of.
"Who's afraid! What are you talking about, don't go quickly! Bai Muyun secretly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said a little breathlessly.
When they were young, the two of them came to a stone gate together.
According to Kong Fanjin, Zhang Tianjiao is inside at the moment.
Seeing this situation, Bai Muyun on the side was deeply puzzled, why did he go around for several days and return to this deep mountain and old forest, could Zhang Tianjiao really be in such a place?
However, this is indeed a good place for Tibetans, and I have the right to go in and see what kind of reputation he wants to make.
In this way, Bai Muyun, who didn't know the truth, followed Kong Fanjin in a daze.
After entering the dark passage, Kong Fanjin deliberately took her around for a long time, making Bai Muyun almost dizzy.
When he was young, Kong Fanjin took Bai Muyun to a secret room. Sure enough, Zhang Tianjiao is really here.
Seeing this, Bai Muyun was a little carried away, and just as she was secretly happy, the direction of things had undergone a earth-shaking reversal.
It turned out that all this was planned by Zhang Tianjiao and Kong Fanjin in advance, in order to be able to smoothly wipe out Zhang Tianyi and Bai Muyun's group of thieves.
And at the same time that Zhang Tianyi and Qin Menglan conspired to capture Xiyue Pavilion, Zhang Tianjiao, who had already recovered, secretly returned to Tianji Hall under the secret protection of everyone in Xiyue Pavilion, and subdued all the guards that Zhang Tianyi had arranged here in advance.
At this moment, Tianji Hall has been regained by Zhang Tianjiao. If Zhang Tianyi dares to return here again without knowing whether he is alive or dead, he will definitely have no return.
Moreover, Kong Fanjin has already begun to pay attention to Bai Muyun, there are still too many questions and secrets on this person's body that have not yet been revealed.
It would be wrong to eradicate it in this way, but indulgence can bring many evils.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Kong Fanjin and Zhang Tianjiao decided to trap him here first, and then deal with them after the situation stabilized.
This place is where the successive masters of the Tianji Hall retreat and cultivate, no matter how high your martial arts are, no matter how strong your skills are, if there is no person who is familiar with the environment here to guide you, you will not want to escape.
Seeing that he was trapped in it, Bai Muyun yelled at Kong Fanjin: "Kong Fanjin, you are so bold!" Don't you want to see your daughter again? ”
Kong Fanjin was expressionless after hearing this, and only heard Zhang Tianjiao respond: "Bai Muyun, you sinister and vicious despicable villain, I still regard you as a good sister!" I never expected that you would be willing to be in the company of scum like Zhang Tianyi. What's more, they actually conspired with it to destroy the foundation of my Tianji Hall for hundreds of years, which is really shameless and outrageous! Now, you are here alone, so let's reflect on it! ”
After speaking, the two left one after another, leaving Bai Muyun alone to be ashamed of himself.
In the middle of the night, Bai Muyun still hadn't come up with any way to escape from here.
She was hungry and parched, but there was nothing for her to eat, and even the only light seemed to be fading away.
At this moment, Bai Muyun's heart was extremely depressed. Bai Muyun, who was thinking of relying on the power of others to show his ambitions, was unexpectedly trapped and died in this dark underground.
Thinking of this, Bai Muyun had an indescribable sourness in his heart. However, she did not repent of this, but hated more and more those who had caused her to be reduced to such a point.
At this moment, she secretly swore that if she could escape, she would make them repay these blood debts ten million times over, but now there was little hope.
Just when Bai Muyun felt that he was really going to die here, so he decided to draw his sword and kill himself, he suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Seeing this situation, Bai Muyun dispelled the idea of killing himself, and then slowly put down the sword in his hand, and then walked over slowly.
Just as she was about to walk to the stone gate, the door suddenly opened unexpectedly.
Bai Muyun fixed his eyes, and at this moment, there was a man standing outside the door.
Seeing this, Bai Muyun thought to himself, "Is he here to save me from trouble?" ”
