Chapter 657: Broken Temple
Chapter 657: Broken Temple
The three of them traveled non-stop, all night, and by ten o'clock in the morning, people were sleepy and tired. It was pouring rain again. Had to stop and rest. But he missed the lodging and could only look for a resting place in the wilderness. After walking three miles away, I happened to see a ruined temple in front of me to shelter from the rain.
The three of them tied their horses outside to graze, and Jiang Qingfeng kicked open the temple door, and a musty smell came to their faces. The Sanqing statue in this hall was dilapidated, and some yellow paper was scattered on the ground, and the runes on it were covered by thick dust. Fortunately, there were still a few broken bowls on the tribute platform.
Xu Yunfan found the rusty iron pot in the back, and he and Su'er washed the pot with rainwater. After boiling a pot of hot water, I boiled some dry food pasta and ate it.
After eating the hot food, my stomach is much more comfortable. The rain hasn't stopped, so I changed my clothes, lit a fire and dried it, and then made up for sleep here. The three of them slept until the afternoon, and when they woke up, the rain was lighter, but they couldn't walk in the rain.
Master Jiang Qingfeng said: "You know that our trip was ordered by the head of the family to inform the owner of Duan Zhuang about the matter of Demon Island. Does the owner of this section know who it is? ”
Xu Yunfan and Su'er shook their heads again and again.
Jiang Qingfeng: "You don't necessarily have to know a lot about the things on the rivers and lakes. But Liangyi Villa has to be mentioned. ”
When Zhou Yiping heard about Liangyi Villa, he thought that Zhang Haozi's master Gongsun Yunmo was also from Liangyi Villa, which was a narrow road.
Jiang Qingfeng took out a dry pipe from his arms and smoked it, saying, "Actually, there is only one way to go up to the Snow Realm Mountain. You have to go through Liangyi Villa. The snow water on the Snow World Mountain melts and flows down the mountain, converging into a Liangyi Lake. This lake is warm and cold, which can be described as a wonder of the world. Liangyi Mountain Villa is located on the shore of Liangyi Lake. The owner of this section is also a cultivator. His offspring also had spiritual roots. It can be described as a great family of immortal cultivators. We only need to tell the news to the Duan owner of Liangyi Villa, and we will complete the task. He would go to the other side of the Snow Mountain and tell the Immortal Cultivator. ”
Su'er asked, "Is the Liangyi Villa far away from here?" ”
Jiang Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "From here, go west all the way. After the group of snake ridges, then through the Seven Kills Town, through the Guigu Mountain Pass, to the Valley of the Medicine King. Fold further north, and you can see the Xuanyuan Swamp. Crossing the Xuanyuan Swamp to the northwest, it is the Lonely Dust Desert. At the end of the desert is Liangyi Mountain Villa! ”
Xu Yunfan thought to himself that the senior who had traveled thousands of miles didn't know whether to follow us, and now it was raining heavily, and he didn't see the senior talking, so he was probably not in the temple. Did you tell the master about the book, even if you want to practice the martial arts in the book, the master must be more suitable than me.
But after thinking about it, this is a broken promise to that senior, how can a man be so dishonest.
At this point, Su'er spoke, "So it will take us months to get there. What should I do if I get entangled on the road? ”
Jiang Qingfeng said with a smile: "This time, the head knows what is at stake. Abandon the old suspicions. Didn't embarrass me. I've got enough coiled back and forth! However, before we go to Snake Ridge, we must go south to Kaiyang Town. Get a few helpers. Otherwise, this first group of snakes will not be able to cross the ridge. Not to mention the dangerous ground behind. ”
Xu Yunfan asked, "Are there many snakes in the Snake Ridge?" ”
Jiang Qingfeng said: "There were many snakes before. It's just that he was almost caught by a group of people who like to eat snakes! ”
Xu Yunfan said happily: "That's okay!" Nothing more dangerous! ”
Jiang Qingfeng said with a straight face: "If it's not dangerous, will I go find someone to help?" Do you think that this man is not more difficult to deal with than a snake? ”
Xu Yunfan was speechless for a while. Su'er said: "Did that group of people become the king of the mountain over there?" ”
Jiang Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's right." It's the way to the west. If you want to take a detour, you have to make a big circle. These people call themselves snakes. Some are called night snakes, some are called day snakes, some are called Wen snakes, some are called martial snakes, and some are called villain snakes and gentleman snakes. Of course, these are all divisions of the crowd. There are also male and female snakes, bamboo leaf green, five-step snakes, hundred-knot snakes, eye snakes, and chain snakes, each of which occupies a mountain. It's very difficult to deal with! Unless they let the snake boss let it go, it will be difficult for the three of us to get through. ”
Su Er listened to the names of these snakes and grabbed the corners of Xu Yunfan's clothes, and her body trembled, as if there were really many snakes swimming in front of her, and she forgot for a moment that these were just people's code names.
Xu Yunfan said: "Master! You said to go to Kaiyang Town to find help. I must have had the idea of this group of snake ridges. We just do what we are told. Don't be afraid! "In my heart, I want to learn some martial arts in that book before I go to the Snake Ridge.
Zhou Yiping was thinking, no matter what kind of snake he was, it was all nothingness in front of him, as long as he lived seven days, he could control Xu Yunfan's body for ten minutes a day. Even if you don't control the physical body, you can protect yourself with hard and rings. It's just that the safety of other people can't be cared for.
The rain was getting lighter and lighter, but it was getting darker, and the croaking of frogs in the back hall pond came and went. Su Er and Xu Yunfan went to catch frogs and eat some meat for dinner, so as to make up for their bodies.
Xu Yunfan dissected the frog's internal organs, and Su'er was in charge of grilling it on the shelf. After a while, the frog's grease dripped into the fire and made a seductive sound. Su'er took some salt from the package and sprinkled it on top. Immediately, the fragrance overflowed, making people salivate.
At this moment, a person outside the door said loudly: "It smells so fragrant." Can you sell me two? ”
Jiang Qingfeng is an old Jianghu, and there is no sound when this person approaches. The three of them looked at the visitors. Wearing a set of navy blue Taoist robes, the Taoist temple on his head is inlaid with a turquoise, and a piece of white marble hangs around his waist. With a sword on his back. With a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled, and his delicate air was very white. It makes people feel wary.
Jiang Qingfeng got up and said, "It's all people from the rivers and lakes who come to take shelter from the rain." Dao Chief, please take a few and eat them. I just don't know where I got my name, where I came from, and where I'm going. ”
The man still smiled and said, "Do I look like a Taoist?" I'm not a monk. My surname is Sima, and my name is God. Come from the Snake Ridge and go to Kaiyang Town. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qingfeng's eyes flashed, and being able to pass through the Snake Ridge alone was either a 'snake' on the ridge, or a person with great ability. He seemed to think it was the former. The left hand slowly grasped the dry pipe, and Jiang Qingfeng had been immersed in the short and skillful work of dotting holes on the dry pipe.
Sima Sishen didn't seem to see Jiang Qingfeng's vigilant movements, and sat on the ground. Su'er handed the man a freshly roasted frog along with a twig.
Xu Yunfan didn't notice anything wrong, and said stupidly and directly: "We are about to cross the Snake Ridge." Brother, come over there, what snake do you see!? ”
Sima Sishen broke off a frog's leg and put it in his mouth, chewed it and said, "This tastes really good!" Not...... Do you know what snakes like to eat? ”
Xu Yunfan blurted out: "Mice and frogs!" ”
