Pedestrians who wore robes and hats and braved the rain on the slippery and muddy mountain roads saw the villages and towns surrounded by green mountains in the distance, and took off their hats, revealing a miserable white face after recovering from a serious illness. He looked at the villages and towns below the mountain, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the smoke gradually rose, and a bamboo building that was out of place with the thatched and tiled houses around him came into view.

As if remembering something, the pedestrian became excited for some reason, and his face flushed sickly, followed by an uncontrollable cough, and the accompanying people behind him hurriedly rummaged through their bags to find a tin bag, which opened it was a thin layer of paste, semi-black and transparent, like black jade.

After taking out the fire fold and lighting a piece of wax, he put the tin bag on the candle flame and burned it, and soon there were wisps of green smoke.

The entourage placed the tin bag in a hollow wooden box and handed it to the former, and the pedestrian grabbed it and tried to fan his nose and try to inhale the wisps of green smoke into his body.

Like the aftertaste of burning spices, the flush on the pedestrian's face and the pain of the scar on his body faded together, and the indescribable warmth made him smile with ease, but he still held the wooden box in his palm as if it were his life.

The lazy paralysis poured from all over his limbs to his heart, and he couldn't help but want to sleep, even if he never woke up again.

The relaxed expression of the pedestrian who loosened the wooden box in his hand was retracted, and was replaced by the majesty unique to those who had been in a high position for a long time, making it difficult to get close to them.

"My lord, this place seems to be close to Qingshan Town, but in fact there is still a considerable distance, the road is slippery on rainy days, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous to hurry after sunset. The people around him suggested to him, "You are also sick, and it is not too late to rest for the night." ”

"Hold a torch and hurry. ”

The entourage retreated, put away the burned tin bag, and hurried to the man who had walked a few dozen paces forward.

The pouring rain was small after the pedestrian walked to the locust tree, and even if there was a four-story martial arts realm, he still planted two or three heels on this mountain road, and the entourage knew the temper of the adult he served, and he didn't dare to complain, until Qingshan Town came to the mouth and dared to vent his grievances a little, and vigorously threw the torch in his hand into the mud.

The pedestrian glanced coldly behind him, and the entourage, who felt cold from head to toe, did not dare to make a sound even if he threw himself to the ground in the mud.

In Songfeng Mountain, the four-story martial artist who is also a figure with a head and a face stayed in the mud for a long time, and the pedestrian waved his hand indifferently, and someone behind the person came to help him up, his clothes were still dripping with muddy water, and the man with a ridiculous face didn't dare to make any movements, bent down and bowed his head, and looked at the ground.

As a four-story martial artist of the elder lineage, he knew very well that the mountain lord in front of him, who was once extremely good at dealing with, had become a violent existence at this time. After being seriously injured in that fight, he still led people to the council hall to take the lives of the elders in it, and then set off a purge up and down the gate of Songfeng Mountain, but all the elders of the council hall were in the same vein, and there were many dead.

When Yue Qirui, the former mountain master of Songfeng Mountain, who was forced to return to the council hall, saw the tragic situation in front of him, Gao Xu said.

Later, after witnessing Yue Qirui's death in a hurry, the four-story martial artist was on Songfeng Mountain, and he followed the lord of Songfeng Mountain, who was about to dominate the rivers and lakes of Jiangzhou.

The cleaning of the upper and lower gates of Songfeng Mountain was carried out in the following ten days, and Gao Xu, who had always shown his demeanor, with his henchmen, hung the heads of the elders of the council hall on the mountain gate, and announced to all the disciples that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die.

Most of the disciples who tried to challenge Gao Xu's majesty died at the hands of the people who were draped in black daqi beside him, and the people who had lost their courage fell to their knees on Songfeng Mountain, surrendering to the authority of Gao Xu, the lord of Songfeng Mountain.

In those ten days, Songfeng Mountain failed to send a single person to the lake, the fact is that the destruction of the Yanyulou was almost all the means of the Huizhou Lutai assassins, and the two hundred disciples of Songfeng Mountain only cleaned up the gold and silver of the island in the center of the lake.

Wild incense was a medicine used by Huizhou Deer Cutting Platform to soothe the spirits of the Assassins, and even if it was lit, it could make people feel as if they were in the clouds. Gao Xu, who was seriously injured after Zhang Wushi was severely injured after the final encirclement and suppression, was able to support himself until now, half of which was due to this unsightly ointment.

However, this effect is far greater than that of the boiling wild incense, which is also a means for cutting deer to master the assassins, once it is stained, it is difficult to quit the medicine, and when the medicine stops, it seems that there are thousands of ants and insects eating and biting all over the body. The process and recipe for the preparation of the incense were firmly in the hands of a few people in the Deer Cutting Table, and the monthly distribution of a month's amount to the Assassins would make them dare to take the risk of killing.

Gao Xu, who continued to walk towards the head of Qingshan Town, suddenly stopped his steps, turned around, and said to the former council hall attendant who was silent:

"From today onwards, the daily wild incense has been stopped. ”

Then the pace didn't stop.

In the silent night of Qingshan Town, Gao Xu, the owner of Songfeng Mountain, stood silently in front of Xiaoqinglou, inspecting the building.

The people who accompanied him no longer dared to make their own decisions, so they all stood behind Gao Xu.

After a long time, he finally stepped forward and gently knocked on the door of Xiaoqinglou, and then buckled it after there was no movement inside.

Gao Xu, the mountain lord of Songfeng Mountain, who has always been unhurried, just buckled the door of Xiaoqinglou over and over again, so that the people accompanying him began to speculate about who else in a small village and town in Jiangzhou has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard and dared to hang the current co-owner of Jiangzhou rivers and lakes outside.

Under Gao Xu's perseverance, there was finally a slight noise in the Xiaoqing Building, and the girl dressed as a maid poked her head out of the main door that opened a small crack, and saw that she was only wearing a shirt, and looked at Gao Xu in front of the door vigilantly and spoke:

"Everyone in the building has fallen asleep and will come back tomorrow. "Then close the door.

The accompanying disciples of Songfeng Mountain, who couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and grabbed the door, how could it be shaken by a woman who was almost powerless?

"Xiao Zhu'er, back off. Xiao Zhu'er, who hung all his body weight on the door and still couldn't pull it back at half, felt that he was too useless, obviously these people were unreasonable, but he couldn't even do the little thing of closing the door and thanking customers, and there were tears flashing in his eyes, and he reluctantly retreated.

Yue Qingqing, who was dressed in white, was obviously not as asleep as Xiao Zhu'er had said before, and the moment the accompanying disciples saw her face, they were shocked to realize how similar this unparalleled beauty was to the mountain lord Gao Xu.

Yue Qingqing, whose face was as cold as frost, looked at the man who should call him daddy, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Gao Xu, who was also silent.

The latter, who put his coat and hat aside, spoke:

"How many years?"

"Five years. ”

"Let's go back. ”

"No, I don't go back. ”

"Why?"

"No. ”

"It's like your mother. ”

"The mother who gave birth to me is naturally like. ”

The people accompanying him didn't dare to listen to the most indifferent father-daughter question and answer in the world, and quit the Xiaoqinglou to guard outside.

In the face of Yue Qingqing, who was reluctant to say a word, even Gao Xu, the mountain lord who had already killed his disciples and seized great power in the gate of Songfeng Mountain, could only make the posture of an ordinary father to dote on his wayward children, and said warmly:

"Dad's business is almost over, your house on the mountain is still empty, it's good to go back and have a look. At this time, the owner of Songfeng Mountain is only a little better than the lower three and four, "In the past five years, there is no one around to protect me, my father is worried, who knows that you have found such a remote place again, and not long ago some rumors came to the mountain, but it has never been empty." ”

"It's over.... That smoke and rain building..."Yue Qingqing wanted to speak and stopped.

"The inheritance has been broken, and there will be no more smoke and rain buildings in Jiangzhou. Speaking of this, Gao Xu's tone changed suddenly, becoming as if it came from an extremely high mountain, with the coldness of the mountaintop, "Your mother's revenge is finally avenged." ”

Yue Qingqing, who tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled poignantly, "I have been sitting in the position of the mountain lord of Songfeng Mountain for so many years, and then I remember that there is still my mother's hatred?"

This was poking at the sore spot of the mountain lord of Songfeng Mountain, and the words made it difficult for him to maintain his demeanor after all, Gao Xu's fist clenched and relaxed in an instant, and he tried his best to calm his tone and speak:

"The forces on Songfeng Mountain are intertwined, and it is far from being something that can be suppressed by your father's identity as a mountain master, and your uncle, as a general of Jiangzhou, is inconvenient to directly dispatch his soldiers into the lake. If there is no longer three forbearances before, not only will it be difficult to eradicate the power of Yanyulou, but the father of the mountain lord of Songfeng Mountain will be in danger. ”

"Dad could only gamble, but Dad won the bet. ”

Inadvertently, Gao Xu, who grabbed Yue Qingqing's shoulders with both hands and shook him, noticed the disgust in the former's eyes, and after letting go of his hand with embarrassment, the mountain lord of Songfeng Mountain returned to his elegant and modest appearance. After straightening up, he continued to talk eloquently:

"The price paid by Songfeng Mountain in this battle is actually far beyond many people's imagination, but after all, my father is the lord of Zhongxing who unifies the rivers and lakes of Jiangzhou, and no matter how big the price is, it can be compared to the name of this history..."

"Dad!" Yue Qingqing interrupted him, "How many lives have you spent in exchange for your name, is it really worth it in your eyes?"

"Mother's revenge, nothing more than the few people who killed your mother with your hand can be avenged, where can you use the position of the mountain master, more than ten years of planning and Jiangzhou's two Jianghu sects and thousands of lives..."

Yue Qingqing, who couldn't help but choke up, looked at Gao Xu's gray hair and aging face, and said intermittently: "Dad, too many people have died.... Stop it.... Stop it!"

Her tone was earnest.

Gao Xu, who was stunned, came back to his senses after a moment and muttered, "Stop?" ”

Gao Xu, where are you going?

Gao Xu, who heard Yue Qingqing's question, asked himself.

Subsequently, the most ambitious man in the previous Songfeng Mountain owners replied to himself.

I, Gao Xu, am the co-master of the sixteen states of Dayao and Yangyang.
