Expedition
Sun Zhong nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Does the head of the sect mean not to crusade against the thieves, if so, won't we be accused of disobeying the order, and Tianshan will blame it, and we will not be able to argue." ”
Wang Chang touched his beard under his chin and said: "That's not it, the seven evils of Zhongtiao are a disaster to the world, the arrogance is scorching, and the people hate it deeply, for the justice of the world, we should also go out of the mountains to fight evil, my generation of practice, isn't it just to maintain the righteous path of the common people? As long as the riot can be quelled, it will be a great achievement in the world, and even Bai Yu will not be able to do anything to us at that time. ”
Wu Feng was indignant, and said: "Zhongtiao Qisha is making trouble in the north, it should be crusaded by the northern Xiuzhen realm, as well as the central Chuwei region, and the eastern Qilu region Xiuzhen realm, all of which can be conquered nearby, my Wuyi Mountain is located in Wuyue in the southeast, and the road to the north is far away, trekking through mountains and rivers, there are many inconveniences, besides, we are far away from the mountain gate, the door is empty, and the safety is not settled, if there are other factions to take the opportunity to attack, wouldn't it be easily occupied by them?"
Wang Chang nodded and said: "It makes sense, then there is Elder Lao Wu to guard the mountain gate, and some disciples should be left in the mountain to guard, this time I was ordered to conquer, whether it is Bai Yu's conspiracy or not, I must take a trip, one is for the justice of the world, and the other is also to understand the specific situation in the north." ”
Immediately decided, Wang Chang decided to set off in three days, and ordered Sun Zhong to inform the sect of the news, asking the inner disciples to go on the expedition of three hundred, and the outer disciples did not force it, and those who went voluntarily could sign up. Then arrange for the disciples to go down the mountain to buy horses, dry food, water and grass.
Elder Sun Zhong summoned the outer disciples, announced the matter, and asked anyone who wanted to go north with the head of the sect to beg for thieves, they could come forward and sign up. The disciples looked left and right below, not daring to speak. Going to the north to fight is a very dangerous thing, and if you don't do it well, your head will fall to the ground and you will die. Therefore, everyone looked at each other, and no one came out to sign up.
At this time, a person suddenly walked out, came to the front of the stage, and said, "Master Sun, I want to go!"
At first glance, it was a poor boy covered in patches, and a few people recognized it as Long Han.
Sun Zhong also knew Long Han, and when he saw the look of longing flashing in his eyes, he nodded and stroked his beard, and said, "Okay, then you can sign your name on the paper!"
Long Han obeyed, picked up the brush, and wrote his name on the top.
Sun Zhong shouted below, "Who else wants to go?"
Huang An then stood up and said, "I want to go too!"
Seeing that Huang An was short and thin, Sun Zhong was a little worried, and said, "Have you thought about it, the road is far away, and the long journey is very hard." Huang An said: "Master, don't worry, since I plan to go, I have made all the preparations." He turned his head to look at Long Han and smiled, this time it was because Long Han was going that he made up his mind to go.
Sun Zhong was very happy when he heard this, and said, "Very good, I didn't expect you two to be so bold when you are not very old." He is worthy of being a disciple of my Wuyi Mountain Gate. ”
Hua Xin saw that Long Han, a person whose cultivation was worse than himself, dared to go, and Sun Zhong also rewarded him back then, he was very unwilling, and secretly thought that if he let this poor boy be in the limelight, how would he mix in the school in the future. In a fit of anger, he also rushed to the stage and wrote his name.
The outer disciples who went out with the head of the sect this time were only the three of them.
In the evening, Long Han returned home at dusk and told his mother Liu, who coughed and said, "Hansheng, if you go to war, you will be injured at any time, and your life may be in danger, do you know?"
Long Han knelt down beside Liu and said, "Mother, it's a child who is not filial, I want to go and break through, maybe I can do something to make you live a good life." You don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself. ”
There were tears in the corners of Liu's eyes, and he said: "The man is ambitious in all directions, you go, just come back early." ”
Long Han was lying on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window, tears flowed down, his mother was not in good health and needed someone to take care of him, and the ancients Yun parents were here, and they did not travel far. It is really unfilial to leave home and travel far away. But he turned his head to look at the cold walls around him, the low thatched hut overhead, and he desperately wanted to change the predicament of his family, so that his mother could think of a day of happiness, which was also his lifelong wish. So he doesn't care so much anymore. Only by going out can you have a chance to get ahead.
At dawn the next day, it was time to set off to the north, Wang Chang walked out of Wuyi Palace and instructed the elder Sun Zhong to lead his disciples down the mountain first, while Wu Feng stayed on the mountain to guard the mountain gate. If something happens to the mountain gate, Wu Feng will go to report to the head of the gate in time.
Among the disciples who went down the mountain this time, there were 800 inner disciples, three outer disciples, and one elder. When Wang Chang heard that only three of the outer disciples dared to go, he shook his head and said, "Although it is said that there is no compulsion, it is purely voluntary, but how can these outer disciples be so timid, greedy for life and afraid of death, this is not the character that a person in my cultivation should have. ”
Long Han, Huang Anhua, and the three of them set off with the inner disciples, consigning dry food and water and grass to just three horses, and this task fell on the three of them, each leading a horse and taking care of their respective dry food and water plants.
Long Han and Huang An were happy to get this errand and didn't complain much, while Hua Xin was the boss who didn't want to, he was a son of a rich family, he was pampered since he was a child, he was always just riding a horse, and others led the horse for him to fall and pedal, so he was very unfair in his heart, but the elder commanded, and he was helpless.
More than 800 disciples descended to Tianfeng and went up the Jiuqu River, and the inner disciples were all wearing uniform clothes, while the outer disciples did not distribute clothes. This time, because it was an expedition, it represented the Wuyi Mountain Gate, and the head of the sect specially ordered to prepare a set of inner door clothes for the three of Long Han. A long placket, a white jade belt, and black boots. The front chest of the clothes has the word Wuyi, indicating their origin.
Long Han wore it very well, he was originally tall, and wearing such clothes looked even more majestic, tall and handsome, not only happily caressed. Hua Xin looked at it from the side, sneered, and said: "I haven't seen the world, and good-looking clothes can't hide a poor and sour atmosphere." ”
When Huang An heard this, he immediately stopped doing it and said, "What do you say, aren't poor people human." You are so cynical, and you are not necessarily clever. If you dare to speak disrespectfully, see how I clean you up. "Rush over.
Long Han stopped him and said, "Forget it, the mad dog barks wildly and bites people indiscriminately, can we bite back? "If it weren't for the uncertainty of winning Huaxin, Long Han would not have been so forbearing.
Everyone marched forward on foot, and only Elder Sun Zhong rode in front. At the front of the procession, an inner disciple acted as a flag bearer, holding a flag in the shape of a long strip, hanging from a tall bamboo pole, with the word "Wuyi" written on it. The flag fluttered in the wind and moved fiercely.
The team waded through the Jiuqu River, through a peach blossom forest, and up to an avenue on the hillside, along which the team meandered. The flags fluttered, the horses' hooves sounded, and the team was like a long snake, although the number was small, but it was also quite imposing.
Because it is the beginning of summer, the mountains are full of flowers, the peaks are towering, the roadside flowers and trees are verdant, and the cicadas in the forest are noisy, and it is a prosperous scene. The sun is blazing. The disciples walked for a while, and the sweat dripped down, but no one stopped.
As he was walking, there was a sound of breaking the sky in the air, two sword lights, one green and one white, bypassing the straight mountain peak, heading towards the team, Feng Xu's sword, the light crossed the sky, and the two fell to the ground. It turned out to be Wang Ao and Wang Boudoir. Wang Ao is still handsome and sharp. Wang Boudoir wore an orange dress with a red ribbon around her waist, which made her body more and more exquisite.
Wang Ao was disgusted because Elder Sun drove him away in class, so he turned a blind eye and did not salute. Wang Boudoir stepped forward and saluted, "Elder Sun, my father has promised us to go with my sister and brother, and I hope Elder Sun will take care of you along the way." Where my brother is rude, Elder Wanwang Sun will take care of it. ”
Sun Zhong smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, my old man will definitely take care of you, then again, why hasn't the head of the house come yet?"
Wang Boudoir said: "My father said that he will go to Mount Tai first, and ask Yue Hua, the head of Mount Tai, about some things, so that we don't have to wait for him. Sun Zhong listened and said, "I see, then let's hurry up." ”
Long Han said to Huang An: "That Wang Aoxiu is the same as me, and he is also in the liquid transformation stage, how can he also fly with a sword?"
Huang An said: "You should be able to think of this, in fact, it is also because of the weapon, I think his sword must be a magic weapon, the son of the head is different, you can have your own flying sword, this flying sword belongs to the top grade magic weapon, can condense a lot of vitality, for drive, his flying sword itself can already fly autonomously." If it's you, you can too. ”
Long Han sighed slightly and said, "I don't know how much money it should cost to buy such a treasure." Huang An said: "At least 1,000 taels of gold." ”
Long Han suddenly stammered, shook his head, and secretly thought that it was so expensive, and he had no long things, so he should not be delusional for the time being.
The team continued to move north along the mountain path, and since most of the disciples were not yet able to fly, they had to trek on foot. Most of the disciples held swords in their hands, or swords in their backs, and the red tassels fluttered in the wind. It looks mighty and unstoppable. Elder Sun rode forward slowly, and Wang Biao and Wang Boudoir took the lead in front of him.
Everyone did not take the secular state capitals, counties and counties, official roads, but climbed mountains and rivers, walked streams and valleys, were sparsely populated, and the roads became more and more bumpy and steep.
When it got dark, before leaving the land of Wuyue, everyone rested in a forest, burning the fire, and building the tent. Long Han, Huang An, and Hua Xin were responsible for setting up pots and boiling water, taking down the pockets of dry food from the horses, and cooking.
