Chapter 256: Misty Mountain, Star Tower
Misty Mountain, a place that makes people yearn for hope and fear, from a distance, Misty Mountain is like a fairyland, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the base camp of the Star Picking Tower stands on the top of this mountain. But there are poisonous weeds, poisonous gases, poisonous insects and thorns under the mountain, how many martial arts people have wanted to attack the Misty Mountain in one fell swoop, and as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were killed by the mechanism set up by the lord of the Star Picking Tower, not to mention that there are so many poisonous gases and poisonous weeds, even if the internal strength of martial arts is as strong as King Qi and King Rui, they can only ensure that they are not invaded by poisonous gas, as for whether they can climb to the top of the Misty Mountain and enter the Inviting Moon Pavilion, it is not clear.
The lord of the Star Picking Building, wearing a bright red shirt, snuggled up to the bed, looking at the boy lying on the bed, his face was full of sadness and haggardness.
"Lord, that Ling Ruoyi said that she wants our iron mine over there in Beishan." The man in black said respectfully.
"What? The iron ore of Kitayama? Her appetite is really not small, so what if the deity doesn't give it to her. ”
"She said you would definitely agree, otherwise you wouldn't have saved her life from Qingyunsha's hands."
"Hmph, the deity saved her life, and it was also for the deity's son, otherwise, what does her life and death have to do with the deity."
"Yes, then the lord, go to the Qi Palace, bring her?"
"Do you think your martial arts have entered the Qi Palace? The masters of King Qi's Mansion are like clouds, and King Qi's martial arts are even more unfathomable, you will undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg, so let's go and tell her that the deity is negotiating with her on the Misty Mountain. ”
"Does the Lord really want to give her the iron ore?"
"Hmph, that's what she has to do."
"The Lord means ......"
"You tell her that as long as you can cure the young lord's illness, everything is negotiable, but I want her to come to the Misty Mountain alone to negotiate with me, otherwise I would rather destroy that iron mine."
"Yes, my subordinates obey." The man in black stepped back.
This man in black is not simple, he is Jiang Fei, the left envoy of Xingxing, and he is much more loyal to Xingxing than others, because his life is given by Xingxing, and the person who can give him life is like a reborn parent, he will naturally obey Xingxing's words.
When it comes to this left envoy, I have to talk about the personnel structure inside this Star Picking Building, there are two left and right envoys around the Lord Picking Stars, namely Jiang Fei and Jiang Quan. Then there are several hall masters, respectively guarding the surroundings of the Misty Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain there are many checkpoints, if someone asks to see the stars, if the stars are willing to see, then they can naturally go up to the top of the mountain, if they don't want to see, when the person is still at the foot of the mountain, they have been blocked back.
With its natural advantages, this misty mountain has been standing on the top of this misty mountain for a hundred years, which shows its strength.
Jiang Fei, the left envoy, sent a message to his subordinates lurking in Beijing overnight, asking them to inform Ling Ruoyi that if he wanted iron ore, he would go up the mountain alone to talk.
After receiving this news, King Qi burned out the note in his hand with his internal force, "Yi'er, the lord of this Star Picking Tower has no good intentions, let you go alone, I'm afraid you will even swallow the bones." ”
"It's not that serious, since he can save me, he must have asked me, then I'll take advantage of this and let him give me the iron ore."
"Xian'er, things are not that simple, do you know that the misty mountain is surrounded by poisonous gases and poisonous weeds, and how many martial arts masters have died under the mechanism he set up. I can't let you take any chances. King Qi said solemnly.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, in order to prevent the people of Yunshang from being frequently harassed by the Xueyan Kingdom, I must go, and besides, I have a secret weapon to defend myself, who can hide from my poisonous powder." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile.
"Although your poison powder is powerful and you have a secret weapon, but if you bring bullets up the mountain, they will find out, how can you bring them up."
"Oh, I know you care about me, I will definitely protect myself, and the lord of the Star Picking Tower has also indicated that he wants to go alone, if I don't go, won't he look down on me." Just let me go, if you don't feel at ease, just wait for me at the bottom of the mountain." Ling Ruoxuan took King Qi's hand and said coquettishly. Knowing that King Qi eats this set the most, she still has to prescribe the right medicine.
"Okay, okay, I can't resist you, I will take someone to guard at the bottom of the mountain, and arrange for someone to accompany you up as much as possible, you can't say whatever he says." King Qi said lightly.
"Well, it's better to be a husband." Ling Ruoxuan hugged King Qi's neck and said excitedly. The matter of iron ore, since the lord of the Star Picking Tower is willing to talk about it, then talk to him about it, in short, she is going to settle the iron mine.
In the early morning of the next day, King Qi's Mansion gave a reply, agreeing to meet at the top of the Misty Mountain in five days. Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five days are fleeting.
On this day, under the protection of King Qi and Master Yunyun, Ling Ruohui came to the foot of the Misty Mountain. Looking at the smoke that filled the area here, people who didn't know the situation thought that this was a fairyland, but for Ling Ruoxuan, a divine doctor, there was an aura of death in this cloud and mist.
As a faint scent of orchids wafted in, Ling Ruoyi said vigilantly: "Cover your mouth and nose quickly, there is something magical in this fragrance." Several people present covered their mouths and noses, but the soldiers, who were a little far away, did not hear it, and instantly went crazy as if they had lost their minds.
Ling Ruoyi's long sleeves waved, and as some lilac medicinal powder fell, the aroma of Fang Cai slowly dissipated, and then he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. He handed it to the remnant wind and said, "This is the antidote, give it to the soldiers quickly." ”
"Sure enough, it's a miracle doctor, and I can actually smell that this is the smell of losing my heart, and my lord asks you to go up." Standing at the foot of the mountain, the man who seemed to be the leader in the costume arched his hand.
"Okay, please lead the way." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. Seeing this, King Qi was about to follow, but the man's subordinates stopped him one after another: "The lord only asked the hall master to take Miss Ling up, please wait for a few people." ”
"No, it's not safe for my young lady to go alone, it's always okay for me to go with a slave." Ice and rain said urgently.
"Hmph, you are not an ordinary maidservant, your martial arts can be on par with a hall master, the girl is still waiting here." The leading man said coldly. He has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, whether he will do martial arts can be seen at a look, this person who knows martial arts, the qi is dantian, no matter how to hide, the true qi in the body cannot be hidden, let alone a master.
"If you're worried about martial arts, then I won't be able to do martial arts, so it's okay for me to accompany my young lady forward." Mu'er asked.
"You? No, my family lord only agrees to go up with Divine Doctor Ling, this is also the rule that was said before, and a few people are asked to abide by the rules. ”
"You all wait with peace of mind, I'll be fine." Ling Ruoxuan turned around and smiled lightly at a few people. Then he followed the man and walked towards the mountain.
"Dare to ask this eldest brother, which hall master are you?" Ling Ruoxuan said softly. This eldest brother, the cold-blooded killer called, felt warm in his heart, and then said lightly: "I am the hall master of Tianqiao Hall." ”
Tianqiaotang? That's Tianqiaoxing, in the Water Margin, Tianqiaoxing is the prodigal son Yanqing, but looking at the appearance of the hall master in front of him, he really has the style of a prodigal son.
"Oh, it turned out to be the hall master of Tianqiao Hall, could it be that you are Tianqiao Xing?"
"Yo, do you know a lot, do you know my Tianqiaoxing?"
"Yes, then you should still have Tianji Hall and Tiangang Hall."
"I know a lot, but it's not a big deal if you know this, it's not a secret in the rivers and lakes, so don't say so much, just follow me up the mountain."
After walking for half a pillar of incense, I saw a row of houses, resplendent with carved beams and paintings. I thought that this was already the top of the mountain, but I didn't expect to hear the man say: "The hall master of Tianqiao Hall has already brought people up, and the rest of the road will bother the hall master of Tianjian Hall." ”
What? This is the Heavenly Sword Hall? My God, how high is this misty mountain, if it is really according to the heaven and the earth, I will not be able to climb to the top of the mountain until it is dark today.
"Okay, the hall master has worked hard, and we will take care of the rest."
"Okay, there's work." The hall master of Tianqiao Hall arched his hand towards the hall master of Tianjian Hall.
Seeing that the hall master of Tianqiao Hall turned around and left, the hall master of Tianjian Hall said with a calm face: "Let's go." ”
Ling Ruoyi was a little unhappy, you invited him, is this the way of hospitality? When you get there, everyone will take a long way, let her keep walking, and when she comes forward, she will have half a life left. Thinking of this, Ling Ruohui stopped, and the hall master of the Heavenly Sword Hall heard that there were no footsteps behind him, and turned his head to see that Ling Ruohui stayed where he was and didn't move.
"What are you doing standing, don't you go quickly."
"I'm tired, I need to rest."
"Less nonsense, let's go."
"If you don't leave, what can you do with me? It's a big deal, I don't want your iron ore, and the agreement with your lord will be stopped. After that, Ling Ruoxuan turned around and was about to go down the mountain, knowing that if they wanted to go up the mountain by themselves, they must have something to ask for, but no matter what, as long as she refused to move, the hall master of the Sword Hall that day would not be able to explain to their master.
Having made up his mind, Ling Ruoyi simply sat down, the hall master of the Heavenly Sword Hall was not so easy to speak, "Then what do you want?" ”
"I said, I'm tired and need to sit down and rest. I'll talk about it when I've rested enough. ”
"No, the Lord is still waiting, you hurry up and follow me." After saying that, he was about to reach out to pull Ling Ruoxi, Ling Ruohui suddenly withdrew his hand, and the hall master of the Heavenly Sword Hall grabbed the air.
"If you want me to go fast, there is a way, you ask them to prepare a slide rod and carry me up."
"Carrying you up? Who do you think you are? ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, and most importantly, I am a guest invited by your lord. If you upset me, and I accidentally say something wrong in front of the Lord for a while, then don't blame me. Ling Ruoyi threatened lightly.
Sometimes, some people are just a little cheap, and they can't listen to good words, and if you kill him, it's very effective. The Heavenly Sword Hall Master was thinking about whether to prepare a sliding rod when he heard a man say with a smile: "Since Divine Doctor Ling is tired, I will bother the Heavenly Sword Hall Master to arrange a few subordinates to carry Divine Doctor Ling up the mountain, don't delay the matter of the Venerable Lord." ”
"Yes." The Heavenly Sword Hall Master only promised. Obviously, the man in white was his superior, but ...... This guy looks at the smile as if he is actually a smiling tiger, no matter what he is, if he comes, he will be safe, Ling Ruoyi smiled lightly: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome, willing to serve the princess." The man still smiled.
After another hour of incense, he finally reached the top of the mountain, and the first thing that caught his eye was the house that really made Ling Ruoyi breathtaking, such luxury was even more exquisite than the palace. On that door are written three big characters of the Star Picking Hall......
