Chapter 268: Operation Night
Situ Nanyun smiled when she saw Xu Xifeng say this, "Xifeng, I find that you are becoming more and more like a person." ”
"Like whom?" Xu Xifeng looked at her puzzled.
"Like Lin Yuelan, he usually treats me like this." Situ Nanyun replied.
Seeing Xu Xifeng stunned, she continued: "Those steep walls have no problem with those of us who practice martial arts, if you don't go down, I'm going to go down." ”
Seeing that she really wanted to go down, Xu Xifeng grabbed her arm and said helplessly: "I'll go down first, explore the road in front, you follow behind, where it's not good, I can pull you." ”
"Xifeng, this is a good note." A smile bloomed on Situ Nanyun's face.
Just as they were about to approach the waterfall, a small monkey suddenly appeared, and Situ Nanyun saw it, "Xifeng, look, there's a monkey there." ”
Perhaps at the sight of a living person, the monkey slipped away in the blink of an eye, tossed and turned among the surrounding vines a few times, and then disappeared.
Situ Nanyun was looking at it, and suddenly disappeared, and there was a feeling of trouble in his heart, "Why did it suddenly disappear?" ”
Seeing her disappointed look, Xu Xifeng looked around and said, "There should be a cave near here, otherwise it won't disappear so quickly in this cliff." ”
He looked down, and there was a cluster of particularly lush vines three or four meters below his body, which was still trembling slightly just now, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, "I know where it is, there is a cave below." ”
"Really, there's a cave where we can go down and rest." Situ Nanyun was a little overjoyed.
The two of them went around the waterfall to the edge of the cave, and opened the vines and went inside.
The little monkey was indeed inside, eating the nuts that had just been picked from the top of the mountain, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he was stunned for a while, scratched his head, and continued to eat.
Situ Nanyun saw it for the first time when she arrived, cast a kind glance at it, and then landed her gaze on a few herbs at the entrance of the cave.
"Looks like there's been someone here."
At this time, Xu Xifeng picked up a berry from the ground and said to her, "That's right, the deputy master should have stayed here before, this is the berry she used before." ”
Situ Nanyun looked at the berry, nodded, and picked up a few herbs on the ground, "This is also the herb she used," she sniffed, then mashed the herb, rubbed her fingers, and sniffed closer, "This herb is for the treatment of poisonous wounds, and it has the same function as the medicine she asked me to prepare for her to treat poison, but this herb has a slow effect." ”
"It seems that there are two people living here, Miss Shi and a person who has been poisoned." Then she added.
"The deputy master left this morning, so where did the other person who lives here go?" Xu Xifeng's brows furrowed.
"I think if this other person plans to leave, he will leave with Miss Shi, since he hasn't left, he should be around here, let's wait and see." Situ Nanyun said.
"However, it stands to reason that since this person has escaped from the clutches of Shi Yijian, he should leave, so why not? Is there still unfinished business that you don't want to leave? With doubts on her face, she said to herself,
"Don't want to leave, unfinished business?" Xu Xifeng chewed on her words.
"Well, that's the only way to explain why he stayed." When Situ Nanyun spoke, she suddenly reconfirmed what she had been thinking before, her gaze met Xu Xifeng's gaze, and she said in a calm tone, "I have an intuition that the person who is with Miss Shi is likely to be your father Uncle Xu." ”
Xu Xifeng had already thought of it at that moment just now, this person's style of acting was quite consistent with his father's style, and his face gradually brought a look of worry, "My father's unfinished task is to find history to take revenge, this hatred has accumulated in his heart for more than twenty years, so much has been forbearance because my Three Kis Gu is subject to Shi Yijian, and finally my Gu poison is resolved, and he will no longer have to endure it." My mother said that in the past two years, he has been cultivating the Phantom Seven Kills day and night, in order to kill Shi Yijian one day earlier, because killing Shi Yijian one day later would be torturing him for one more day. ”
"I think that Uncle Xu's injuries have not healed, and he should not be in a hurry to find Shi Yijian for revenge, after all, he has already lost once, and this time he should be more cautious." Situ Nanyun groaned, "Maybe he's just left temporarily, let's wait and see here." ”
"If that's the case, it's best, my father's injury has not healed, and he rashly went to Shi Yijian for revenge, not his opponent." The wrinkle of worry between Xu Xifeng's eyebrows still hasn't been resolved, "No matter what, I have to find him as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm." Situ Nanyun grabbed his hand and comforted: "Uncle Xu is the owner of the Demon Snake, he is experienced in the rivers and lakes, and he is cautious, let's not worry too much, if we don't see him come back before dark, we will go down the mountain to Lingxiao Courtyard to find him."
Xu Xifeng nodded with a deep groan.
The two waited in the cave for an afternoon and did not see Xu Maosong return to the cave, the sky was getting dark, the two ate some wild fruits picked at the top of the mountain, and waited for half an hour, but still no one came back.
The two decided to go down the mountain, out of the cave, with the faint light, they used their swords to stick into the cracks in the stones, grasped the rocks protruding from the cliff, climbed down step by step, and reached the bottom of the mountain in the time of a stick of incense.
At the bottom of the mountain is a small stream two or three meters wide and a cold stone stream, the water is cold, and it is blue and blue.
Situ Nanyun looked at it, then lightly lifted her toes and flew over the cold stone stream, followed by Xu Xifeng, and also crossed the stream.
"Shi Yijian, the scenery of the Lingxiao Courtyard is not bad." Situ Nanyun sighed slightly.
"Such a beautiful scenery is a waste for a ruthless femme fatale like him." Xu Xifeng sneered.
"Yes, this Lingxiao Courtyard is all about burning, killing and looting, which is in stark contrast to the quiet and beautiful delicacy around it, and people who don't know think that there is a hidden master living here, and he is really a bloody devil." Situ Nanyun then said indignantly.
"Today, since we have come here, we will treat others the way they do." There was a cold light in her eyes.
As she was talking, Xu Xifeng took her hand and sighed, "Someone is coming." The two of them took refuge in the lush vegetation on the side. After the group had walked away, the two of them came out of the grass and trees.
"It seems that they have quite a few people patrolling at night." Situ Nanyun frowned slightly.
Xu Xifeng said "um", "We have to be more careful." ”
At this time, the sky was covered with black clouds, the moonlight did not come out, the surrounding night could not see the five fingers, the surrounding side was silent, occasionally a few night birds in the mountains and forests and the footsteps from the distance of the ten halls of Yama hinted at their distance, breaking the silence of the night, the lanterns were lit on the high platform of the east and west patrols, and the figures on it kept moving, and the people of the ten halls of Yama along the lake path carried lanterns to patrol back and forth.
"Yun'er, when you pass by the path along the lake later, you go over first, and I'll lead those people away." Xu Xifeng said.
"Xifeng, it's not difficult for my Qingyun footwork to avoid them at night, so, you go over first, I'll lure them away, and then we'll meet at the Minghe Pavilion in front."
"That'...... All right. Xu Xifeng nodded reluctantly.
The two of them felt the darkness and walked cautiously, and when they reached the place near the path along the lake, Situ Nanyun and Xu Xifeng separated. She casually picked up a few small pebbles from the ground and threw them towards the maple forest in front of the patrol high platform, the sound of the stones grazing the branches quickly attracted the attention of the ten halls of Yama on the high platform, and suddenly someone shouted, "Who is it?" Then, someone on the high platform blew a warning eagle whistle, and not long after, the people of the Ten Halls of Yama patrolling nearby gathered in one go.
"Who's here?" Someone asked.
Situ Nanyun threw a few more stones at the approach, attracting the attention of those people, and came to her location, and when they got closer, she set up the Qingyun footwork and fled forward.
"There, we're chasing." There is humanity.
Situ Nanyun controlled her speed and ran unhurriedly, and when the people of the Ten Palaces of Yama were about to catch up with her, she quickened her pace again, and in this way, she led these people out of the path along the lake and circled around Qingliang Mountain. Seeing that the time was ripe, she dodged into the dense grass and trees beside the road, and when the people of the Ten Halls of Yama walked over, she came down from a tree, and just patted the dust on her clothes, when suddenly a cloud of stuffy things fell on her shoulder, so frightened that she almost screamed, and only after confirming that it was the little hairy monkey that she saw in the cave, the heart that was about to pop out fell back to its original place.
"It's you little thing, I'm scared to death by you." Situ Nanyun wiped the cold sweat oozing from her forehead, angrily dragged the little hairy monkey off her shoulder, and slapped it on its little ass a few times.
The little hairy monkey squeaked, and Situ Nanyun understood that it was coquettish.
"Okay, I have something important to do, you go back quickly."
She put it on the ground and was about to take a step when the little hairy monkey jumped on her shoulder again.
"Hey, this is not good, obedient, come down."
"The place I'm going to is dangerous, you can't go."
No matter what she said, Wuzi fell on her shoulder unrelentingly, unwilling to come down, Situ Nanyun couldn't cry or laugh, and didn't have time to waste it, so she set up Qingyun footwork and ran towards the path along the lake.
Because she opened the ten halls of Yama on the road, she traveled unimpeded all the way, and soon arrived at the place agreed with Xu Xifeng.
"Why did you come?" Xu Xifeng was worried about her safety, his worried eyes glanced at her face, and soon his eyes fell on a monkey entrenched on her shoulder, and his wide eyes swept from the monkey to her face, "What's the situation?" ”
"This little hairy monkey doesn't know where to find me, lying on my shoulder, and can't get rid of me." Situ Nanyun had a helpless smile on her face.
Xu Xifeng walked over and dragged the little hairy monkey off Situ Nanyun's shoulder, glaring at it fiercely, "If you mess around again, be careful that I beat you." ”
The two of them left the little hairy monkey and turned away, and the little monkey was in a hurry, followed with an arrow step, and jumped on Situ Nanyun's shoulder.
"You see, we're going to have to charge with it today."
Seeing this, Xu Xifeng ripped it off, "You're still addicted, see if I can't clean you up well." ”
As he was talking, suddenly someone not far away shouted, "Who is here?" ”
