Chapter 18: The Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations (I)

Duan Yu took one person, and the effectiveness of Ling Bo's micro-step was greatly reduced, not to mention that the crane in the cloud was extremely light, and he caught up with the two of them in a moment, Duan Yu had to use footwork to deal with him, but Yue Laosan also caught up over there.

Duan Yu couldn't dodge with Mu Wanqing, and after a while, the iron claws of the crane in the clouds cut several blood marks on his arm, and the blood was dripping.

Zhong Ling was anxious when he saw this, but he didn't expect that the helper he found would deal with Brother Duan instead, feeling that he was always causing trouble to Brother Duan, and he didn't care about his low martial arts, so he was going to rush up to help Duan Yu.

Zhong Wanqiu had already taken precautions, and as soon as Zhong Ling moved, he stretched out his arm to stop him.

Zhong Ling grabbed Zhong Wanqiu's arm and prayed: "Daddy, go and save Brother Duan and Sister Mu, Brother Duan is his daughter's life-saving benefactor!" ”

Zhong Wanqiu snorted coldly and said, "What do you know about a girl, I'm afraid that you have been deceived by this little white face." ”

He is ugly and vulgar, and he already hates handsome men, not to mention this "little white face" and surname "Duan"! Then it would be even more impossible to save him.

Zhong Ling kept shaking Zhong Wanqiu's arm, and said urgently: "Brother Duan didn't lie to me, it was someone from the Infinite Sword Sect who wanted to kill me, Brother Duan lured them away and let me escape, and then he ...... He...... Saved me twice! ”

Zhong Ling was a little incoherent, and when he saw that Zhong Wanqiu was unmoved, he wanted to bypass him, but Zhong Wanqiu grabbed his arm and pulled him behind him, and he could only watch Duan Yu being forced more and more dangerous by the two villains.

Seeing that there were more and more wounds on Duan Yu's body, and his feet began to stumble, Mu Wanqing suddenly spoke: "Don't you want to see my appearance, you guys stop first, I'll show you." ”

When Yue Laosan heard this, he stopped his body, and Yun Zhonghe also stopped with a lewd smile on his face, and said, "It's good to be so knowledgeable earlier, I have to let you Yun Sanye do it." ”

Mu Wanqing saw them stop, took a step forward, and then turned his back to everyone, facing Duan Yu, two cold eyes stared at him, and said softly: "The surname Duan, you must marry me, if you dare to live up to me, I will kill you!" ”

As he spoke, he slowly took off the face towel, and a face like a fairy was displayed in front of Duan Yu's eyes, but the clear soup noodles did not lose his demeanor at all, his eyes were clear, his eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and his mouth was like a new moon, so that Duan Yu, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was reluctant to look away.

Duan Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Mu Wanqing said again: "Do you know that I have sworn that the first man who sees my face will either marry him or kill him." You saved me, I can't kill you, so I can only marry you. ”

How could Duan Yu not know her oath, although he longed for it in his heart, he had to pretend not to know, thinking about how to reply to her.

Mu Wanqing saw that Duan Yu didn't answer for a long time, so he thought that he didn't want to marry him, and his already unusually fair face turned a little pale, and said bitterly: "Am I just so unable to get into your eyes?" ”

remembered that because Duan Yu pulled his hand and slapped him before, did he refuse to marry him? Yes, he must like a well-behaved and obedient woman like Zhong Ling, and he doesn't like my pungent temperament.

Thinking about it like this, her heart was even more miserable, and she almost wanted to cry.

Seeing this, Duan Yu was ashamed, this was a good deal, and said earnestly: "Wanqing is such an immortal, how can I not want to marry you?" If you don't live up to me, I will live up to you. Wanqing, you remember, no matter what happens in the future, you have to believe that I will deal with it, and you must not look for short-sightedness, you know? ”

Mu Wanqing heard him praise his immortal appearance, ashamed and happy, and then knew that Duan Yu did not hold a grudge against himself.

Although she didn't understand why Duan Yu said not to look for a short view, she still nodded and agreed, and she didn't wonder that Duan Yu called out her name, she just thought that Zhong Ling told him.

Thinking of his worries just now, he asked, "Don't you hate me for slapping you?" ”

Duan Yu said in his heart, if I don't hold a grudge, I won't fight with you.

He also knew that Mu Wanqing was so pungent to outsiders, and the nerd Duan Yu in the original book was even worse, and he didn't know how many times he was slapped. But Mu Wanqing fell in love with the nerd Duan Yuhou, but she was obedient to him, her love was deep-rooted, and the change was so great that it was like turning one hundred and eighty degrees.

Thinking of this, Duan Yu said: "You have to change your pungent temperament, otherwise you will suffer." As for you slapping me, don't I hit you too, we'll be even. ”

Mu Wanqing saw Duan Yu looking at a certain place in her, and she was immediately ashamed, but she thought in her heart: "Since I have promised to be with you, I will obey you and do everything, and I will never slap you again." ”

Both of them were talking quietly, and the others were far away, I don't know what they were muttering, Yun Zhonghe was already impatient, and shouted: "I said little girl, don't you think about stealing and playing tricks, today you Yun Sanye is here, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can catch you!" ”

When she heard this, she put on a black scarf to cover her peerless face, looked at Duan Yu with her eyes, and said, "Although I have no choice but to do so today, since I have let you see my face, I have nothing else to ask for in this life, I am only willing to serve wholeheartedly...... Serve...... Duan Lang! If Duan Lang doesn't allow it, the concubine will die on the spot, and I won't let those villains look at me. ”

Duan Yu laughed when he heard this, and quipped: "You have a long Tianxiang country, you should let them see it, and let this group of demons and monsters be ashamed of themselves." ”

When Mu Wanqing heard this, she smiled tactfully, nodded slightly, and was about to turn around to face everyone, Duan Yu suddenly grabbed her hand, and said with a straight face: "No matter what happens in the future, your life is the most important thing, and you can't talk about life and death lightly, otherwise I will never rely on you!" ”

Mu Wanqing saw what he said solemnly, and said in her heart As long as you live up to me, how can I seek death, but she still nodded according to her words, then took off her face towel and turned to face everyone.

Seeing Mu Wanqing's beauty, Yun Zhonghe's eyes lit up, his index finger moved, and he smiled strangely: "Good girl, how does this look like, how is it so beautiful?" ”

Then he started to catch Mu Wanqing.

Duan Yu was just about to pull Mu Wanqing to dodge, when he suddenly heard a "snort" sound, and the iron claws of the crane in the clouds were shot to the ground.

Yun Zhonghe turned his head and looked at Duan Yanqing suspiciously: "Boss? ”

It turned out that Duan Yanqing used a yang finger to shoot down the iron claw of the crane in the clouds in the air.

Duan Yanqing didn't answer him, he pushed his cane to the ground, jumped to the ground, and when he arrived in front of Duan Yu, he glanced at Duan Yu up and down, but he didn't see him speak, and a somewhat muffled voice came: "Your surname is Duan?" ”

Duan Yu knew that he was speaking ventriloquism, and Duan Yanqing was Duan Yu's biological father in the original book, but it had nothing to do with himself who came through time.

Duan Yu was silent for a moment, knowing that Duan Yanqing and the other three villains were menacing, and they were coming at him Dali Duan. He originally planned to go back to Dali first, and then deal with Duan Yanqing when his martial arts were successful, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Duan Yanqing could ask this, even if he denied it, he would never let himself go.

After thinking about it for a while, Duan Yu already had an idea in his heart, and immediately said: "Exactly, if you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, and below is Duan Yu, the son of the king of Dali Town." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Wanqiu shouted: "Sure enough, it's the little white face surnamed Duan, or the son of the bastard Duan Zhengchun, you can't run away now." ”

As he spoke, he was about to come up and arrest Duan Yu.

Duan Yanqing turned around and glanced at Zhong Wanqiu coldly, Zhong Wanqiu suddenly stopped his figure, and didn't dare to make any more noise.

Duan Yanqing turned around and said, "Very good, a little bold, I don't need to go to Zhennan Wangfu to get people now." The second, third, and fourth children, bring him and the girl into the valley, and remember not to hurt them. ”

Duan Yanqing turned around and left after explaining, and Ye Erniang, Yue Laosan and Yun Zhonghe surrounded him.

Duan Yu was afraid that Yunzhonghe would take the opportunity to be rude to Mu Wanqing, so he stood in front of her and said to the three of them: "Don't do it, I'll go with you." ”

There is a request from Duan Yanqing not to hurt people, and the crane in the clouds does not dare to make a mistake.

Everyone entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and as expected, Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing were locked up in a stone room.

Before Duan Yu could appease Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling came outside the stone room and apologized to Duan Yu with red eyes, she felt that it was her father who found the four evildoers, and it was she who led Duan Yanqing and others to Duan Yu's side, which caused Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing to be arrested.

Duan Yu knew that Zhong Ling was not to blame for this, and said with relief: "Don't worry, Ling'er, I'll be fine, it's not your fault, besides, I asked you to move the rescuers." ”

Zhong Ling still blamed himself and said, "If you hadn't sent me home, I wouldn't have encountered these things." ”

Duan Yu saw that she felt guilty, and knew that if she followed her words at this time, she would not be able to explain, and she had to divert her attention, so he said: "I have something I need you to help me, as long as you do it, Brother Duan will be safe and sound." ”

Zhong Ling really forgot his guilt when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" Brother Duan, say it quickly, I'll do whatever it takes. ”

"In the next few days, there should be people from the Duan clan in Dali coming to the valley, and when the time comes, you find a middle-aged man named Duan Zhengming and tell him to order the three dukes of Dali to dig a tunnel under the stone room and rescue me. As long as you bring the word, I will be safe and sound. ”

Zhong Ling nodded vigorously and agreed.

After Zhong Ling left, Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing fell silent.

Both felt they had something to say, but neither knew how to speak.

After a while, Mu Wanqing opened her mouth first: "I swore that the first person to see my face, I will either kill him or marry him, you saved me, I can't kill you, so I can only marry you." I know that Zhong Ling has never made such an oath, she can marry anyone, you ...... Don't marry her! ”

Duan Yu sighed secretly, knowing that this level would be passed sooner or later, he was not a drag on the water, and said: "But I know Ling'er first, and Ling'er has fallen in love with me, how can I let her down!" ”

Mu Wanqing lowered her head and said, "You want to marry me and Zhong Ling at the same time?" ”

Duan Yu nodded.

Mu Wanqing's voice suddenly raised a few points, and said, "Then what's the difference between you and the negitable stinky man?" ”

Duan Yu thought to himself, what kind of logic is this? If I fail Zhong Ling, won't I be unwilling?

patiently explained: "Wanqing, if I fail Ling'er because of you today, if I meet someone like you in the future, who has sworn and will marry me after I see her face, will I fail you for her?" Wanqing, I admire you very much, but I won't let down Zhong Ling, just like I won't let you down for others! ”

Mu Wanqing was speechless for a while, wanting to refute but didn't know where to start.

Duan Yu knew that she had been instilled with the concept of deformity by Qin Hongmian since she was a child, and the concept formed over the years could not be changed in a few words, she had been living in seclusion with Qin Hongmian and knew very little about the world, so she naturally thought that what Qin Hongmian said was right.

But Qin Hongmian herself is an unfortunate woman!

Thinking about it, as long as she is sincere to her, she will figure it out, didn't she also marry Duan Yu with Zhong Ling in the original book?

Duan Yu has never worried about Zhong Ling, because Zhong Ling is a free and easy character, just because she heard that Duan Yu was captured by Gu Mozhi, she can go from Dali to Jiangnan to Shaolin Temple alone, and her affection is not deep.

But after she knew that she and Duan Yu were brother and sister, she was able to adjust her mentality in time and be a good sister, and this freedom was the most valuable.

In the original work, Zhong Ling also said to Duan Yu: "Your father (Duan Zhengchun) said something about three wives and four concubines, and I didn't refuse to let her (Mu Wanqing), she is very fierce, can I still fight with her?" ”

His open-minded personality can be seen.

Mu Wanqing's reaction after knowing that she and Duan Yu were brother and sister was very different from Zhong Ling, she couldn't think about it and couldn't let it go, and finally thought of jumping into the river to die.

This is also why Duan Yu told her that she can't talk about life and death lightly, and life is the most important thing, because Mu Wanqing is a bull horn tip.

The relationship between Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing, which should have warmed up quickly, temporarily cooled down because of this crux.

Duan Yu wanted to untie the knot in her heart, but she didn't know how to untie it, and she remembered Duan Yanqing's conspiracy, so she could only let go of her children's love and think about the situation she would face next.

Duan Yu knew that Duan Yanqing would put "rejuvenation" medicine in the food for himself and Mu Wanqing, so that he and Mu Wanqing would stage a human tragedy between brothers and sisters, and make the reputation of the Duan family in Dali ruined.

But I feel that there is something wrong, his identity as the prince of Zhennan was said by himself, but how did Duan Yanqing know that Mu Wanqing was his sister?

I didn't have time to think about it at the time, and then I felt a little puzzled.

In the original book, Mu Wanqing followed Duan Yu to the Zhennan Wangfu in Dali, only to be recognized by Duan Zhengchun as his daughter, and now because of her arrival, Mu Wanqing has not been to the Zhennan Wangfu, and even she herself doesn't know who her father is, and the only one who knows her identity is her nominal master, the actual mother, Qin Hongmian.

Duan Yu thought about it, looked at the edges and corners of the eaves of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations in the distance through the gap in the window, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "There is another person who knows-the hostess of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, "Pretty Rakshasa Gan Baobao!"

She is Qin Hongmian's younger sister, she knows the relationship between Qin Hongmian and Duan Zhengchun very well, and she, as the hostess of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, also participated in this conspiracy against the Duan clan in Dali, she must have said Mu Wanqing's life experience. ”

"As for Gan Baobao's motive for doing this? Naturally, love gives rise to hate! She met Duan Zhengchun when she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and was quickly captured by Duan Zhengchun, and the two were tender and sweet for a month, Duan Zhengchun drifted away, and never appeared in front of her again. I never thought that Gan Baobao was secretly knotted, she searched for Duan Zhengchun all over the place, so she could only marry the ugly and vulgar Zhong Wanqiu. Think about it, how could she not hold a grudge against Duan Zhengchun? ”

Thinking about this section, Duan Yu made up his mind, the unknown enemy is the most terrifying, after experiencing the Blue Phoenix, he no longer dares to fully trust his prophetic ability, so he is worried that there is someone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations that he does not know secretly dealing with him, if that person is Gan Baobao, there is no need to be afraid.

……

When night fell, Duan Yanqing quietly came to guard outside the stone room and never left.

Every morning, noon and evening, someone would bring food to the stone room, and Duan Yu knew that Duan Yanqing would add "Yin and Yang Harmony and Dispersion" to the dishes.

Duan Yu only eats steamed buns every time, although he has a body that is invulnerable to all poisons, but Yin and Yang and Hesan are not poisons, and the body that is invulnerable to all poisons is not immune to this kind of medicine.

He didn't tell Mu Wanqing that there would be yin and yang in the meal, after all, it was not poison and there was no danger to life. If Mu Wanqing knew that there was Yin Yang and Hesan in the meal, she, a girl who was not deeply involved in the world and was proud in her heart, would definitely not cooperate with him to imitate the symptoms of Yin Yang and Hesan, and if Duan Yanqing found out that Mu Wanqing did not have Yin Yang and Hesan, she would definitely have other means to force her.

It's better not to let Mu Wanqing know the truth, so as long as Duan Yu can restrain himself.

Everything was fine on the first day.

Not long after breakfast the next day, Mu Wanqing's face and aura began to become abnormal, and Duan Yu knew that Duan Yanqing had started to do it.

Mu Wanqing's self-control was not strong, but the feeling that rose from the bottom of her heart greatly reduced her self-control, and she instinctively leaned towards Duan Yu......

Duan Yu is even more difficult, while "dealing with" Mu Wanqing, he also has to make some noises, so as not to make Duan Yanqing suspicious, and he really needs great perseverance.

……

At the same time, Dali Town South Wangfu.

Duan Zhengchun played against his brother, Emperor Baoding of Dali State, in the main hall of the palace. Suddenly, someone came down to report a letter.

Duan Zhengchun confessed his guilt to Emperor Baoding and entered the hall and asked, "Did the messenger say anything?" What is the other party like? ”

Menzi knelt down on one knee and said, "The man is tall and thin, and after leaving the letter, he said that he would tell the letter to the prince and then left. If you are ineffective in your humble duties, please ask the prince to surrender his guilt. ”

Duan Zhengchun's face changed slightly when he heard this, he knew that this man was quite martial arts, if he couldn't even catch up with the trace of that person, it meant that he had met a master.

didn't blame that man, Duan Zhengchun waved his hand to let him stand back, and then opened the letter and read it.

Emperor Baoding saw that Duan Zhengchun's face was gradually becoming ugly, and asked, "Brother Chun, but what happened?" ”

Duan Zhengchun took a deep breath and said, "It's Yu'er, the 'four evildoers' who came out of nowhere caught Yu'er, let us go and ransom people, and the other party also named the eldest brother to go with me." ”

Emperor Baoding frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "These 'four wicked people' have heard of it before, and it is said that they do all kinds of evil, and they have recently come to my Dali, but I didn't expect it to come to our brothers." Since the other party has drawn the next way, our brother has taken it, in this Dali country, there is nothing that can make my Duan clan restrain his hands. ”
