Chapter Ninety-Nine, Start Again
Pan Long understood what the old ancestor Ren Changsheng meant.
When I heard the news about the "weird bamboo slip" just now, although my face was silent, my heart beat faster. That envoy cultivated as ordinary and wouldn't notice it, but the old ancestor had great powers, how could he not find it?
Of course, it was impossible for Ren Changsheng to know about the fragments of the Shan Hai Sutra, but he would definitely be able to guess that Pan Long was afraid that it had something to do with the mysterious bamboo slips that the Great Xia Dynasty was looking for, and it might even ...... The bamboo slip was on Pan Long's body.
Of course, he wouldn't rob Pan Long's things, but according to Di Luonan, it seemed that the Great Xia Dynasty had a way to track down this bamboo slip. Then there is only one thing that Pan Long can do now.
Leave, the farther the better, the sooner the better!
The Great Xia Dynasty's method of tracking the mysterious bamboo slips is obviously not very reliable, both the frequency and the accuracy are very problematic, Pan Long only needs to walk more, go farther, go around Kyushu, and even go out of Kyushu to a broader world...... I believe that there will be no way to chase him all the time.
For him, it was the safest option.
For the suggestion of the old ancestor, Pan Long himself was also in favor.
In fact, after hearing that the Great Xia Dynasty really had the means to pursue the fragments of the Mountain and Sea Scripture, he already wanted to leave.
One person does things and one person does it, and you can't affect others!
He didn't even plan to wait for Tilonan's whereabouts to be confirmed, and left now.
After a while, he packed his luggage and said goodbye to Ren Changsheng.
"Don't wait any longer?" Ren Changsheng asked, "If you go the same way as Di Luonan...... Not very safe. β
"The faster I go, the safer it is, and the least safe it is to wait any longer. Pan Long said.
Ren Changsheng frowned: "Okay, you know this best." So where are you going?"
Pan Long had a plan, and immediately replied: "Continue to the south and go to Yunzhou." β
"Yunzhou? It's the southwest border, and dragons and snakes are mixed. There are also all kinds of strange people, with strong means and strange personalities, you have to be more careful. β
"What the ancestor said is, so I plan to change my identity. β
"What status?"
Pan Long smiled, the muscles on his body changed slightly, his body suddenly lost a little weight, and he also became a little haggard, looking like a young man who was poor and malnourished in life.
"This old man, I see that you are full of dust, there must be some unhappy things in this life, and there are some people you don't want to meet. As for me, I've been a little tight lately. If you can give me a decent sum of money, I can do you a favor so that those people will never be in your presence again. β
When he said this, he deliberately imitated a famous literary film he had watched, and there was a deliberate prodigality in his expression and voice.
If this kind of look appeared on the face of a handsome middle-aged man, it would have a different kind of charm. But the appearance on the face of a young man who looked malnourished was only comical.
It's like a young wolf that has just grown its fangs, but wants to learn to roar and intimidate.
Ren Changsheng was amused by Pan Long's performance and said, "This doesn't scare people, and you can't find a business to do." β
"It's just a disguise, if anyone really believes me, when I'm a professional killer and asks me to kill someone, I'll feel troublesome. Pan Long also smiled.
Ren Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, thought about it, wiped his hand into his sleeve, took out a narrow scimitar, and handed it to Pan Long.
"The name of this knife is 'breaking the enemy', more than 500 years ago, there was a famous craftsman's whole family was killed by a fierce beast, the fur of the fierce beast was as hard as iron, and the knife and axe were difficult to hurt. It took the master craftsman three years to create this revenge sword. This knife is usually just an ordinary sharp blade, but as long as you smear your own blood on the knife, it can destroy gold and jade, and sharpen iron like clay in a short time. It's something between a sword and a magic weapon. β
Pan Long drew the knife out of the sheath, only to see that the narrow blade was as bright as snow, and there was a cold air rushing towards his face. The place where the blade is close to the gauntlet, there is a bright red word "hatred", and every stroke reveals the atmosphere of forest, just looking at this word, you can imagine how deep the resentment was in the heart of the famous craftsman who cast this knife.
"I know you have a cicada wing knife, but after all, the cicada wing knife can't see the light, so it's not convenient to use it often. This revenge knife is not small, and it has been in the rivers and lakes for many years and has changed many owners. No one can find out its whereabouts, so it's just right for you. β
Pan Long smiled and put away the knife, nodded, and turned to leave.
"By the way, what name are you going to use to break into the rivers and lakes?" Ren Changsheng asked.
"Vest. Pan Long replied, "When I was in Yunzhou, I was called 'Ah Fei'." β
He said as he walked forward: "Ah Fei is a young swordsman who is indifferent and doesn't trust anyone, he doesn't drink, he only drinks water, and only eats the dry food he carries with him, because it is not easy to be poisoned. He is always ready to draw his sword, and once he draws it, he will attack, and when attacking, he will first consider using the back of the knife to knock his opponent unconscious. He hates to be looked down upon, and if anyone wants to laugh at him, he's happy to educate them with his own knife......"
He stepped out of the formation, and the rest of his words dissipated in the strong wind on the top of the mountain outside.
Ren Changsheng looked at his distant figure, shook his head with a smile, and sighed.
"You are an old man, haven't I seen Wen Chaogong's "Flying Knife Love"? The young man named Shen Fei in the story uses a sword!"
Pan Long naturally couldn't hear this complaint.
He walked to the edge of the mountain and jumped straight down. With superhuman physique and reflexes, he walked like a fly on the steep cliff and roared down the mountain.
It only took him a short moment to reach the foot of Suitao Mountain, and then walked directly to the south.
This time, he played the role of a down-and-out young swordsman, naturally not suitable for horseback riding, let alone riding a carriage, and relying on his feet to go south and north.
In fact, even if he doesn't use light work, he can walk faster than an ordinary horse.
In this way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight. It only took three or two days for him to walk out of the range of Suishan County and come to the edge of the Tongtian River.
This place is close to the upper reaches of the Tongtian River, because the water is turbulent like a roar, so it is called Tiannu Gorge.
Tiannu Gorge is the most turbulent and dangerous section of the Tongtian River. When ordinary ships arrive here, even if there is a slender man, there is no way to swim upstream. Only the big ships that have been strengthened by magic can ignore the turbulent water and the reefs that dot them, and continue upward against the current to the most upstream of the Tongtian River, which is called the "Tongtian River".
Naturally, there are no ferries on Tiannu Gorge, and if you want to cross the river, you can only use the rope bridges across the river. The rope bridges are connected to the two sides of the river by iron chains, which are nailed with wooden planks for easy tending. There are also chains on both sides as handrails for people crossing the bridge to hold onto.
But even so, few people choose to cross the river through these rope bridges. It is better to go up or down and take a ferry to a place where the current is gentler.
After all, walking at a height of 100 zhang, there is a roaring river below, and the only thing that carries you is the wooden planks on the dangling iron chain...... People who are not brave enough can be scared and paralyzed on the bridge.
Not to mention that it is very windy here, and when crossing the bridge, the rope bridge is often blown by strong winds. It looked as if it could capsize at any moment, leaving pedestrians tumbling into the Tianfu Gorge with no bones left.
Anyway, during the whole process of Pan Long finding the rope bridge to cross the river, he didn't see the second person who crossed the river.
After swaying across the bridge, Pan Long was about to continue south, when suddenly his heart moved and he took out a jade pendant.
Compared with the texture of the jade pendant, it is really a little similar to the terrain in front of you.
