The long Kunlun Road, if you simply walk, will naturally have to walk for a long time, but Daomen has built a hanging basket controlled by winch and iron cable in several cliff positions, which can go straight up and down, saving a lot of time.

It's a pity that neither Zhang Yuelu nor Qi Xuansu have ever been among the heavens and can't fly in the air.

According to Zhang Yuelu's plan, after the two got off the Yuxu Peak, they first went to Kunlun Pass, entered Shuzhou along the line of the Tongtian River, and then went all the way to the east, crossed Shuzhou, passed through Baidi City into Huzhou, and finally went to Wuzhou through Huzhou. Just estimating the distance from the map, it is almost more than 6,000 miles, and if it is the actual distance, I am afraid that it will only take 8,000 miles up.

With such a long distance, even if Qi Xuansu is an old Jianghu, at first glance, his face is green, and he only thinks that he is really crazy, so he will agree to Zhang Yuelu. But since I have agreed, there is no reason to go back.

However, Zhang Yuelu had already prepared, and after getting off the Jade Void Peak, he took out a pair of armor horses from Sumeru and handed them to Qi Xuansu.

The so-called "Jia Horse" is a kind of magic law talisman, "Geographical Secret Department" contains the "Foot Tree Cloud Law", take two Jia horses, each of which is written "White Cloud Rise" four words, respectively tied to the legs, the mouth recites the cloud mantra: "I hope to invite the god of Liuding Liujia, the white cloud crane feather flying god." The clouds on the soles of my feet are as fast as the wind, like I fly in the blue sky. I was taken by the order of the Nine Heavens Xuannu! "You can travel 800 a day, which is also the most common armor horse, and it is mostly used for traveling.

Zhang Yuelu gave Qi Xuansu's armor horse a step better, which was from the "Liujia Heavenly Book" contained in the "Shrinking the Land Method", the Shi Fa tied a armor horse to each leg, and recited the mantra of shrinking the ground: "One step and a hundred steps, the ground shrinks itself." Every mountain is flat, and every water is dry. I am taken by the order of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou! "You can travel thousands of miles in a day.

A day and a night are twelve hours, and one day is six hours, and six hours can travel thousands of miles, so that eight thousand miles is nothing.

Qi Xuansu had heard of the name of the Jiama, which was very expensive on the black market, and it was the first time he used it, and after beating two Jiama on his legs, the ground under his feet shrank into inches, which was not much better than the martial artists in the stage of returning to the truth, and on the rugged mountain road, it was like walking on the ground.

Zhang Yuelu did not use a horse, but walked side by side with Qi Xuansu only with his own cultivation, his clothes fluttering, like an immortal.

In all fairness, Zhang Yuelu is beautiful, but she can't talk about the country and the city, but the facial features are exquisite, especially the temperament is brilliant and noble, and it is a general truth that the Confucian gentleman pays attention to the belly of poetry and calligraphy.

When Qi Xuansu and Shangguan talked to him that day, he said that he was not often active in the northwest, which was not a lie. The journey from Yuxu Peak to Kunlun Pass, Qi Xuansu only followed his master twice, and he was still young at the time, so he didn't deliberately remember the road, and he didn't have much impression now.

Qi Xuansu could only pray that Zhang Yuelu would not get lost again, but he didn't arrive in Shuzhou, but went all the way to Bosa Prefecture, that place was not within the realm of Daxuan, there was no flying boat of Daomen, and it was not much smaller than the territory of Daxuan, and it would be a long way to return by then, and the two of them might not be able to return to Yuxu Peak before the Shangyuan Festival.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu made enough preparations this time, and the two arrived at Kunlun Pass smoothly all the way. There is also a Taoist temple here, and after the two of them rested in the Taoist temple for the night, they restarted the road early the next morning.

The distance from Kunlun Pass to Tongtian River is very short from the map, but the actual situation is to climb over a snowy peak, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, first go up the mountain and then go down, the real distance is more than twice as long as the distance on the map.

If there was no first-class armor horse prepared by Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu estimated that if he wanted to cross this snow peak, it would have to take a few days, but now that he had a armor horse, it only took one day to cross the snow peak and come to the bank of the Tongtian River in the evening.

The two stood on a high slope and looked down, only to see the bonfire flickering by the river.

Around the campfire sat seven or eight men, dressed in dirty sheep coats, with the hairy side turned outward, drinking wine and eating meat. There were many horses nearby, and one of them had a dead human head hanging from the side of the saddle.

In this way, he is naturally not an ordinary businessman.

Zhang Yuelu said: "This place has already left the boundary of Kunlun Daofu, and it is not surprising that there are some thieves. ”

Qi Xuansu took off the armor horse on his legs, carefully put it away, and exhaled a long breath, in the early winter, this white mist was exceptionally clear.

Zhang Yuelu didn't mean to make a move, but just tightened the cloak on his body.

The next moment, Qi Xuansu rushed down from the high slope, like thunder.

At this moment, those horse thieves also found Qi Xuansu who rushed to kill, and the leader of them shouted: "The eagle claw water is overflowing, shoulder to shoulder." ”

A group of horse thieves drew their swords one after another and rushed towards Qi Xuansu.

But just a face, someone was snatched the knife in Qi Xuansu's hand, and then saw Qi Xuansu swept with a knife, directly wiping the necks of the three people, leaving only a thin red line, one more point is heavier, one less point is light, not light or heavy, just the result of the lives of the three people.

This knife was not trivial, and the rest of the horse thieves were terrified and did not dare to step forward.

Qi Xuansu's footsteps did not stop, and he rushed forward with a knife.

The leader of the horse thieves changed his face suddenly, and he shouted, wanting to come out. Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light, as if a cold wind was blowing, and then there was a soft sound, and half of the blade fell to the ground, and the handle of the knife and the other half of the blade were held in the hands of the leader of the horse thieves.

Suddenly, the leader of the thieves kept his head down from his neck to his flanks, and slid diagonally, blood gushing out from front and behind him.

Qi Xuansu's face was expressionless, just a flick of the blood of the long knife in his hand.

The rest of the horse thieves looked at Qi Xuansu again, trembling all over, as if sifting chaff. With a "dang chang", the long knife in one person's hand fell to the ground, turned around and ran, and the rest of the people followed suit, throwing the knife and fleeing.

A few more cold rays of light, and the back of several horse thieves suddenly burst with blood, and the corpses jumped forward before they fell, and a pool of blood formed under them after a while.

There were also two horse thieves who had already climbed on horseback and were about to ride away on horseback, when Qi Xuansu directly threw out the long knife in his hand, and instantly skewered the two of them with sugar gourds.

A group of horse thieves all died under Qi Xuansu's knife in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Qi Xuansu, where does he still look like a half-cent flower garden Taoist?

Zhang Yuelu had long known that Qi Xuansu was very murderous, and it was not until today that he saw his decisiveness and neatness when he killed people.

When Zhang Yuelu came down from the high slope, he found that Qi Xuansu was pulling his cloak to look left and right, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" ”

Qi Xuansu changed back to his usual appearance: "I see if there is blood on the new cloak." ”

Zhang Yuelu smiled: "It's just a cloak, as for it?" ”

Qi Xuansu said casually: "Of course, if it's dirty, you can wash it for me?" ”

"It's so beautiful that you wash it off yourself." Zhang Yuelu gave him a blank look.

Qi Xuansu saw that there were no blood spots on the cloak, so he walked over to the horse with the human head, broke the mouth of the head, and looked at his teeth.

Zhang Yuelu followed Qi Xuansu and asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”

Qi Xuansu replied: "Looking at the degree of wear and tear of the teeth, you can roughly judge whether the deceased is poor or rich. ”

Zhang Yuelu was able to see through it at one point: "Those whose teeth are seriously worn out are poor people, because the things that poor people eat are hard and knocked, right?" ”

Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "That's almost the case, poor families can't afford to eat white flour polished rice, and even have to mix some bran or other coarse grains with noodles, not to mention the taste, the taste is like gnawing wood, and the teeth are naturally not good." ”

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "If it is peaceful today, the livelihood of the poor is still so difficult. If the soldiers are in trouble, and they catch up with natural disasters, I really don't know what kind of day it is. ”

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "Selling sons and daughters, even eating for children." ”

Zhang Yuelu didn't continue this heavy topic and asked, "Do you see it?" ”

"It's the rich." Qi Xuansu closed the mouth of the human head, and also helped him close his eyes by the way, "But as far as I know, if it is for money, it is generally not possible to do such a thing as beheading." ”

Zhang Yuelu asked, "Do you think it's a vendetta?" ”

"It's possible." Qi Xuansu said, "But there is another possibility, that is, to hire a murderer, there must always be a certificate, so he cut off the head and bring it to the employer in exchange for a bounty." ”

"These aren't ordinary horse thieves?" Zhang Yuelu was a little surprised, although her realm cultivation was higher than Qi Xuansu's, and her status was also higher than Qi Xuansu's, but after a long time in Yujing, these rivers and lakes experience was not as good as Qi Xuansu.

"You can see it at a glance." Qi Xuansu took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Zhang Yuelu, rolled up his sleeves again, tucked the hem of his robe into his belt, and walked towards the corpse of the leader who had been split in half.

It's not that Zhang Yuelu has never seen a dead person, and he has also killed people, but when he saw this corpse, he silently looked away.

Qi Xuansu squatted down, regardless of the blood, turned the corpse, and groped for the mezzanine on his chest: "Found it." ”

Zhang Yuelu turned his gaze back and saw Qi Xuansu shaking off a piece of cloth with bloodied hands, on which was painted a portrait, which was the human head hanging next to the saddle.

"Is it really a hired murderer? Is there a letter or not? Zhang Yuelu asked in surprise.

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "Hiring a murderer to buy a life is generally negotiable, and it will not be put into words. Even if there is a text, it is destroyed when it is read. As for the portrait, because there is a certain degree of distortion, it will be carried with you and compared at any time, so as not to kill the wrong person. ”

After that, Qi Xuansu threw the cloth on the ground, came to the riverbank, broke the ice that was not frozen thick, and slowly washed his hands.

Zhang Yuelu remembered that Qi Xuansu had said that he used to work hard to make money on the rivers and lakes, and couldn't help asking: "Tianyuan, you are so familiar with these doorways, you shouldn't have done this kind of business, right?" ”

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "I haven't done it, but I've been in the 'inn' for a while, and I've seen a lot." ”

Zhang Yuelu didn't show it on his face, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Qi Xuansu washed off the blood on his hands and shook off the water droplets on his hands: "If we are not in a hurry, we can investigate this matter." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yuelu had this intention and immediately agreed.
