Chapter 107: A Strange Wine Shop
"It's them, what's wrong?" Seeing such a strange reaction from the jade face, Jade Mian already had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Hua Yan remembered the battle with the Golden Qilin on Songshan Mountain, and his curtain master happened to be there, although she had lost her eyes and her appearance was different from the past, she couldn't guarantee that she would not be recognized by him. As for the Qingxu Daoist, she can rest assured that at the martial arts conference, she was only an eight or nine-year-old girl.
Thinking of this, she quickly turned her back and said anxiously: "I can't let them recognize me!" ”
Yumian gently pressed down on her tight hand, and said to her softly, "Don't worry, I'm here." If they recognize you, I will pluck out their eyes. ”
The temperature and words of the jade palm's hand calmed Huayan's flustered heart, she nodded slightly, adjusted her mentality, and sat down again.
Qingxu Daoist and Guan Erye were the first to come to the door of the wine shop. Qingxu Dao Chang jumped off the donkey and led the donkey towards the store. His light skills seemed to be extremely high, and he walked up and down, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any time.
Passing by the place where the jade-faced boy was sitting, he only nodded politely to him, and didn't seem to notice the identity of the woman next to him, so he handed over the donkey to Xiao Er's care, and walked into the store by himself.
Soon after, Guan Erye also came to the door of the store, he looked at the jade face and the painting face curiously, and finally glanced at the snow a few times, and did not feel anything unusual, and also walked into the house with his head up.
Hua Yan quietly approached the jade face and said, "Childe, be careful, that Qingxu Dao Elder has already formed an alliance with Longmen Hall to prevent them from secretly joining forces." ”
After hearing Huayan's words, Yumian turned around in surprise and looked at the two again, "Good guy, it turns out that they know each other!" The two of them were silent one after the other, but they were well disguised! ”
As he spoke, the man in the red shirt had already approached on horseback.
As soon as Yumian raised his head, he happened to see the strange man who was immediately masked, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he whispered secretly: "Why is he here too?" ”
Huayan asked uneasily, "Who?" ”
Yu Mian didn't make a sound, but slowly stood up, and the grim look on his face began to condense.
Xiao Er rubbed his hands, walked over, and said apologetically to the red-shirted man, "I'm sorry guest officer!" The last seat of the store has been occupied by these two guest officers, and there is no place to stay, so please go elsewhere! ”
The knight on the horse seemed to be waiting for something, and the expression on his face was very gloomy. He turned his face to Yumian and said coldly in an irresistible voice: "Then please give up your seat!" ”
Pick things?
Jade-faced's eyes stared at him for a moment, and for a moment, the air seemed to condense.
Once you quit this inn, it means being squeezed out of the list of candidates. How could Jade Face give in easily!
He burst out laughing out loud, so crisp and high-pitched, that the snow on the dead branches fell in a torrent.
Then, he changed to a voice without a smile, and said coldly: "Brother Wuxin, why did you come so late? Xiaosheng is just barely getting a place to step on his feet, not to mention ......" He introduced the painting with his backhand: "What's more, Xiaosheng still drags his family, there must be a place to rest." ”
Wuxin was stunned for a while, and questioned: "Why have you never heard that the jade-faced prince has a lady?!" ”
Yumian was about to answer, but suddenly heard a few dry coughs from Huayan, closed his mouth again, and explained: "Brother Wuxin misunderstood, this is Xiaosheng's sister." ”
Wuxin laughed loudly: "The eloquence of the jade-faced boy is unparalleled!" He suddenly laughed, and then a cold look, although you can't see through the changes in the muscles on his face behind his face scarf, but from his gaze, you can still find his terrifying chill, "No matter who it is, this position must belong to me without intention!" ”
Huayan unconsciously grasped the bamboo flute, she knew that this struggle was inevitable.
She didn't know who Wuxin was, and she had never heard of his name, but she knew that this seemingly innocuous liquor shop was unusual.
While telling them that there were no more empty seats, the shopkeeper let the Xudao chief and others enter, which was obviously deliberately leaving them alone. knew that Wuxin was a difficult character to deal with, and deliberately provoked the spearhead, just to let them make a big move. From this point of view, the people who opened the liquor shop and the people who did their hands and feet in the Black Forest must be inseparable from the Valley of the Madmen, and they want to find out the masters they admire to the end through the contradictions that are constantly provoked.
Yu Mian continued without any pressure: "Brother Wuxin really wants this seat, please ask Brother Wuxin to exchange it for something." ”
Wuxin only thought that the jade face was soft, and sneered: "Want silver? It's not that simple! ”
Instead, Yumian smiled and said, "I don't want anything else." He opened the silver fan and shook it, and said, "It's your brother's head." ”
Unintentionally hearing the rising anger, he jumped off his horse and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, let's see a real chapter under your hands!" ”
Jade Mian looked up and laughed: "Okay! If Xiaosheng doesn't fulfill you today, I'm afraid that everyone else in the rivers and lakes will come to Xiaosheng to ask for guilt. ”
I have no intention of walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, although I am angry at this time, but when I see this person's superhuman self-confidence, I can't help but beat a slight drum in my heart, knowing that this person is by no means good at his generation, but things have developed to this point, how can I say that it doesn't count?
So they looked at each other, and their hearts were alerted.
Wuxin suddenly turned around and took a wrong step, but the jade face suddenly turned around, changed direction, and hit Wuxin like lightning.
This kind of posture and speed is really amazing, and at this time, the depth of each person's kung fu can be judged immediately.
At this same moment, Wuxin also withdrew his blade, and the cold light flashed, slashing towards the back of the jade face.
The jade face stopped and closed the fan, and spun in steps, avoiding the unintentional pursuit.
Xue, who was watching the battle, saw that his companion was threatened, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he "rubbed" the ground, jumped behind Wuxin, and bit his thigh, and in an instant, blood flowed, causing him to not move.
Wuxin was concentrating on fighting with the jade face, and was suddenly bitten by it, the pain was unbearable, and he was about to raise his knife to swing it down, only to hear a melodious and poignant sound of the flute floating into his ears.
He suddenly stopped what he was doing, stunned and stunned, and even gradually burst into tears.
The power of the Requisitioner played by Hua Yan has not diminished in the slightest.
The jade face saw the right time, did not give the slightest chance to breathe, opened the fan and waved his hand, and the head of the opposite person fell to the ground!
When the hour came, a light snow suddenly fell in the deep sky.
Jade Mian brushed the snowflakes on his body slightly, and looked around.
I don't know if I was infected by the requiem of the painted face, or I was afraid of the jade face, there was a quiet sound in the wine shop, as if isolated from the world.
Hua Yan slowly put down the flute, looking confused, sad memories kept coming up in this song, no matter how skillful she was in control of Requiem, she couldn't put herself out of it for a while.
She remembered the obsession that the old man Xianmao had told her, and the one who played the Requiem was the most taboo about this. Otherwise, while defeating others, you are also crushing yourself, even more severely.
Yu Mian understood Hua Yan's state of mind at this time, he gently walked to Hua Yan's side, put his arm around her shoulders, and led her towards the only path leading to Baili Pavilion.
Snow turned around and glanced hatefully at the liquor shop, and quickly followed.
This battle is equivalent to an opportunity for Jade Face to show its strength. Along the way, no one dared to stop him. The second hurdle was successfully passed.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the attack of the cold of the painting face, the journey to Baili Pavilion was only half an hour, and it was delayed for more than an hour.
By the time they finally arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered here.
At the end of the path, there was a huge lake, but the water here was warm and constantly exuding heat. So much so that many people mistakenly believe that this lake is the hot spring of the Valley of the Madman.
Through the steaming water, you can see that in the middle of the lake there are three small pavilions, scattered in three directions, north and west. But there was no bridge or road leading to the small pavilion. Only the three or four small wooden stakes looming on the surface of the lake, paved with a rugged path, can still be walked. The ground is far away from the three small pavilions in the center of the lake, and no matter how high the light work of people is, it is impossible to reach it if there is no object to draw on. The place name Baili Pavilion was also born from this.
Another pavilion was built on the shore, and in it stood an old man who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"How many people are left?" Hua Yan leaned on Jade Mian's shoulder and asked weakly.
Jade Mian looked around, counted all the people who were squatting by the lake or hiding in the trees, and then whispered, "There are ten more people." ”
"Do we have a chance of winning?"
Jade smiled lightly, "I never do anything that I am not sure of. ”
"I believe in you," Hua Yan leaned comfortably on Jade's shoulder.
At this time, the old man in the small pavilion began to speak, "The green mountains and green waters are in the best season, and the wine is happy in the Baili Pavilion." Where to find the fairy mirror? It's better to get drunk with peanuts. ”
The old man's opening poem successfully attracted everyone's attention, and he continued: "Welcome heroes from all walks of life to here, the old man has been ordered by the madman valley lord to meet you here. You have passed all the way, and you are undoubtedly the masters of the masters in the rivers and lakes. But now, there is still one final test for everyone. The last three winners will enter the Valley of the Madmen. He walked out of the pavilion, pointed to the three small pavilions opposite, and said, "Before that, the valley lord has another big gift to give to all the heroes.
In the pavilion, there is a lotus pill respectively, which is the master of the valley who concentrates on refining, which is of great help to the people who practice martial arts to improve their internal strength, and they have benefited for ten years. As long as you are a good man, you can cross the obstacle and enter the pavilion to get the Lotus Pill, you can get the qualification to enter the Valley of the Madman, remember that there are only three Lotus Pills. If you still have any questions, you can ask about the old decay. ”
"Old man, are you serious?" One of the martial arts masters asked.
The old man replied respectfully: "That's nature. ”
"Then why did you go so far and never see half a shadow of the Valley of the Madmen? Isn't the valley lord playing tricks on me to wait?! ”
The old man smiled pleasantly, stood up straight, pointed to the other side of the lake unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "How dare the valley lord deceive you, you can look there, that is where the Valley of the Madmen is located." ”
Everyone looked suspiciously in the direction pointed by the old man, and sure enough, they found that there was a high mountain standing at the other end of the lake, and there was a small cave at the foot of the mountain, and there were three bright red characters written on the cave entrance, 'Crazy Valley', and it was the passage to the Madman Valley.
