Although the scenery in the mountains looks very far away, the mountain road is rugged, and the two of them rushed to the smoke for nearly an hour, but the smoke is gone but has not arrived, and they met two groups of people from the Tang Sect along the way and also rushed to the smoke place, these two people did not talk nonsense, and they killed all the people of the Tang Sect.

Tang Ying and Tang Qiong are not there, Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang are invincible in this mountain, how can this ordinary disciple of the Tang Sect be able to defeat the Shangqing Sect's peerless heirs and the three leaders of the East China Sea Gang?

Tang Ying and Tang Qiong also miscalculated, the two of them realized that Liu Qingyuan had been seriously injured, and there were dozens of disciples led by the steward of the sect to take their lives, how could these two people never think that they would kill Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang, if one of these two Tang was here, Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang would have to stay away.

Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang put their swords into the sheath, and after a short rest, they were about to continue their journey, but they heard a sound in the forest, and they were about to pull out their weapons to guard against them, when they heard the voice of a middle-aged man: "Don't be nervous, there is no malice in the bottom, so you will appear to speak." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a few hunters jumping down from the tree not far away, a few steps had already arrived, the leader was seven feet tall, slightly thin but strong and powerful, with a beard, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, walked forward and said: "The two knights have killed more than 20 Tang Sect disciples all the way, dare to ask if they have a grudge against the Tang Sect?" ”

As soon as Xing Zongliang heard this, he knew that there was a mystery in it, and replied directly: "Under Xing Zongliang, he has no grudge against the Tang Sect, and now he is only to save one person, and he has formed an indissoluble enmity with the Tang Sect. After saying that, he looked at Yi Tianhang.

Yi Tianhang thought that these hunters were hiding and following all the way, but they didn't make any action against the two of them, and the sudden appearance at this moment must be the news of Liu Qingyuan, so he said clearly: "In Xia Yi Tianhang, Tang Guanjie and Tang Sanyi were seriously injured, and this time they also came to save one person." ”

After saying this, the middle-aged hunter led by him still didn't believe it, and sent someone to check whether the people of the Tang Sect were really dead and faked their deaths, and after confirming it, he said, "Who are you two here?" And why did you find him? ”

Yitianhang secretly said that this person was also cautious, and said: "The two of us are looking for Liu Daxia of the Absolute Sword Gate, is the reason, one is that Liu Daxia has been kind to me, and the other is that we don't want the Tang Sect to dominate and harm the martial arts." ”

When the middle-aged Orion heard this, he clenched his fists and said: "A certain is Peng Huan, Orion in the mountains, and the rest are my brothers, if the two knights can trust me, they will hand over their blades and go with me." If I don't believe it, I will not see it today. ”

Yi Tianhang looked at Xing Zongliang and asked Xing Zongliang to make up his mind.

Xing Zongliang thought about it for a while, then handed over the Yanling knife on his waist, hugged his fists and said, "Please Brother Peng lead the way!" ”

Seeing this, Yi Tianhang had no choice but to hand over his weapons.

Yi, Xing and the others followed these hunters through the mountains and forests, and they couldn't catch up with their foot strength, these hunters' physical strength and light skills were no worse than those of the Jianghu people, and Peng Huan was the most successful, and he would wait for them a little slower after a while.

Everyone turned around in the mountain, and the straight general Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang turned their heads dizzy, and when they turned over another mountain, they saw a village on the mountainside at the foot of the mountain, the village was close to the mountain cliff in the north, and the cliff was in the south, blocking the east-west access road, and there were stone walls and horses on the periphery, and there were even a few arrow towers, which was quite a bit of a man's meaning.

"The two of them are from the northern foot of Tangting Mountain, and if they go up from the eastern foothills, they don't have to take these detours. The village in front of me is called Windstone Fort, and the two people who are looking for it are there. Peng Huan crossed his hands on his hips, looked at Yi and Xing, who were a little tired, and said.

Yi Tianhang, Xing Zongliang followed Peng Huan and others down the mountain along the path, and ran towards the wind stone fort, the distance was getting closer and closer, and the scene in the village was getting clearer and clearer, and the situation in the fort could be seen at a glance.

It is all stone houses and wooden sheds, although it is a little simple, but the layout is scattered, not messy, there should be more than 100 households to see the scale, the sound of children playing, the barking of dogs and chickens, the neighing of cows and horses can be heard faintly, the fireworks of this long-lost mountain village are indeed refreshing.

Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang followed Orion Peng Huan into the fort and walked around to a wooden house in the center of the fort.

Peng Huan clenched his fists and said, "The two of you are here for a while, and I will go and report it." Then he went into the house.

After a short time, Yi Tianhang was also beckoned in, leaving Xing Zongliang hesitant outside the house.

As soon as Yi Tianhang entered the house, he saw Liu Qingyuan lying on the wooden bed, his upper body was wrapped in linen, there were faint traces of blood oozing, his face was dark red, and he was obviously deeply poisoned, staring at this side.

The light in the house was dim, and when Yi Tianhang approached, Liu Qingyuan saw that it was indeed the chivalrous young man in the tomb, so he ordered Peng Huan a few words, and took Peng Huan out, before he spoke: "Don't come to the young man, don't come unharmed, the young man jumped that day, and the old man thought that he would never see you again, but the old man never forgot the kindness of the young man, but he was seriously injured and couldn't get up to thank him." ”

As soon as Yi Tianhang heard this, he knew that Ran Yunhan had told Liu Qingyuan everything in the tomb, so he was noncommittal, and replied: "The seniors don't have to be like this, the road is uneven, and the juniors come all the way to help the seniors return to the Absolute Sword Gate." ”

"Oh? The young man has a heart, the old man is at the end of his rope, fortunately Leader Peng rescued him and escaped from the hands of the Tang Gate, and now he is afraid that he will not last much time, but I don't know what the situation is outside, have I ever fought with the Tang Gate? Yun Han's boys are safe and sound? Although Liu Qingyuan was seriously injured, he still remembered the Absolute Sword Gate between his words.

Yi Tianhang took a step forward and replied: "The master of Ran Shao's sect is fine, and the other juniors are not clear, it should be more than lucky." Now the two factions are not at war, but ... ”

Yi Tianhang's words came to his lips, but he deliberately looked embarrassed, and he didn't know if Liu Qingyuan could withstand the following words in his state at this time.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The Tang Sect forced the Sword Gate on the grounds that you destroyed the corpses of its disciples for no reason and slaughtered their disciples outside Dianjiang City, but fortunately, the Qingcheng sent Shangguan seniors to mediate between them, and the two factions have not yet faced each other."

"That's okay, it's just that why did Tang Wanxiong calm down? He died so many people in the Tang Sect, and he endured it like this? Liu Qingyuan was puzzled.

Yi Tianhang did not answer Liu Qingyuan's question, and continued: "There is one thing I hope my predecessors will know, the Absolute Sword Gate is now unable to send people to help, and you are the only one who is facing the pursuit of the Tang Sect, which is also an agreement reached by the Tang Sect, the Absolute Sword Gate, and the Qingcheng faction, otherwise, the Tang Sect will start a full-scale war against the Absolute Sword Gate and completely disrupt the Southwest Martial Arts." ”

"I see, this must be Tang Wanxiong's condition, thanks to Brother Shangguan." Liu Qingyuan was thoughtful.

"Also, if you return to the Absolute Sword Sect, everything before will be written off, and the Tang Sect will no longer pursue it." Yi Tianhang continued.

Yi Tianhang looked at Liu Qingyuan after speaking, he really wanted to see if the reaction of a generation of heroes was no different from ordinary people after being abandoned by the sect, angry? Depressed? Disappointed? Is it disheartened? It's still a heroic dry cloud!

As Yi Tianhang expected, this Liu Qingyuan laughed a few times excitedly after hearing this, and said: "That's good, it's not a loss to Brother Shangguan, I know my heart well, and I can persuade my righteous brother, so it's no better, then Tang Wanxiong is only afraid that he will be deflated." ”

Liu Qingyuan changed the topic and asked again: "It's rare that little brother Yi is not afraid of life and death for me, an old man, but I don't know how you survived?" ”

Yi Tianhang saw Liu Qingyuan asking, so he replied truthfully: "When the junior jumped off the cliff, he grabbed the vines on the cliff, and later survived because of the reopening of the tomb by the Tang Gate, so I don't mention what happened in between." ”

Liu Qingyuan nodded with difficulty, and said, "Well, it's okay, the person who is traveling with you is really Xing Zongliang of the East China Sea Gang?" What is the purpose of this person coming to find the old man? I don't have a good relationship with this person. ”

Yi Tianhang had long expected that Liu Qingyuan would ask this question, so he replied: "After the junior escaped from Shuyang Mountain, he went to Jiangzhou, and happened to meet Xing Dangjia. ”

"Then how could Xing Zongliang know my whereabouts?" Liu Qingyuan asked.

"Xing Dangjia doesn't know the traces of his predecessors, but he just wants to help his predecessors fight against the Tang Sect. To say that this Xing is really hearted, he slept all the way from Dianjiang to Jiangzhou, just to find out your news and want to help you, with the younger generation and his time together, although this person has some reckless habits, but he is a real man, the predecessors can rest assured. "Yitianhang returned.

"He is the third leader of a big gang, and he wants to offend the Tang Sect for the old man?" Liu Qingyuan looked skeptical.

"Xing Dangjia has left the Donghai Gang because of the Three Absolute Sects, and now he is alone in this Shu land, and he also wants to use this to worship your faction." Yitianhang replied truthfully.

Liu Qingyuan thought for a moment after listening, and said after a while: "In this way, let him enter the house for a while, and he can't neglect the visitors." ”

Xing Zongliang entered the house to meet Liu Qingyuan, the two were not very polite, and went straight to the topic, these two people actually had the meaning of seeing each other late, and chatted extremely speculatively, but Yi Tianhang stood aside like an outsider.

The three of them chatted for a long time, but because Liu Qingyuan was physically poor, Xing Zongliang and Yi Tianhang retreated, took their respective weapons, and Peng Huan led them to drink and eat.

Fengshi Fort was originally a military fortress more than 40 years ago, garrisoned by the Great Zhou Weixi Army, and then collapsed overnight in the Great Zhou, and all the Weixi Army went north to Qinwang, and it was occupied by Liukou. After Shu was taken over by the Southern Qi, the defense of this place was taken care of by the Southern Qi Protector Army, and the Protector Shu Army abandoned the Fengshi Fort and stationed it at the foot of the mountain after exterminating the Liukou.

Later, some disabled veterans who had nowhere to go, so they came to settle here, and some hunters in Jiangyang often stayed in Fengshi Fort because there were troops stationed under the mountain, and over time, many people simply lived in Fengshi Fort and gradually formed today's village.

This wind stone fort stands on the mountainside, overlooking the mountain below the circle of more than ten miles, the east and west are the mountain woodland, the west mountain road is the mountain road, the east mountain road is the mountain road, can pass Jiangyang, it is indeed a good place for the garrison, but I don't know why the Southern Qi Protector Shu Army abandoned it.

Let's talk about the relationship between Liu Qingyuan and Fengshi Castle.

Twenty years ago, Liu Qingyuan and Ran Xingzhou were only in their early thirties, and the two of them were ordered by the head of the sect to lead the masters of the sect to the southern border to support Qin Zhanxiong, who was only the captain of the army at that time, and assist him in killing the masters of the barbarian array.

Because of the continuous invasion of the barbarians at that time, Qin Zhanxiong had a headache, so he temporarily requisitioned the Orion of Fengshi Fort, wanting to use it as bait to pretend to be a grain team, luring out the main force of the barbarian army, and wanted to complete his work in one battle.

Liu Qingyuan and Ran Xingzhou couldn't bear to let Orion give up their lives in vain, so they asked these Orions to listen to the order under the command of the Absolute Knife, and the Absolute Knife Gate was responsible for luring the enemy.

Peng Huan was one of the hunters back then, and he was just a teenager at that time.

For the people of Wind Stone Castle, the Absolute Knife Gate is the regeneration of parents, although in recent years, the Wind Stone Castle and the Absolute Knife Gate have had less contact, but Liu Qingyuan is seriously injured, and the Wind Stone Castle is still trying its best to maintain it.

Yi Tianhang and Peng Huan and other hunters pushed the cup to change the lamp, Xing Zongliang was slightly drunk, and said: "Brother Peng, there is a matter of great curiosity, I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

"Oh? Xing Dangjia has something to say, I am a rough man in the mountains, and I don't pay so much attention to it. Peng Huan was extremely bold.

"On the next road, I followed Brother Peng and a few brothers over the mountains and mountains, but I found that my foot strength as a martial arts practitioner was not as good as that of the brothers in the fort." Xing Zongliang said.

"Xing is humble, but the hunters of our castle are indeed different from ordinary hunters." Peng Huan replied.

Xing Zongliang was interested when he heard this, and said, "What's the difference? Could you please tell me more about Brother Peng? ”

Peng Huan raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and said: "Alas, the cause of this incident is the battle of twenty years, when the tragic situation of the war made me frightened, since then I have experienced the bloodshed and cruelty of the battle between the two armies, and after the living people returned, they made up their minds to have the means to protect themselves." ”

Peng Huan said and poured another glass of wine, drank it all in one sip, and continued: "So a dozen young people led by Zai Xia practiced archery hard, not only satisfied with shooting beasts and birds, but also practiced with branches, streamers, copper coins, and fallen leaves as the target, and then found the basic cultivation techniques such as internal strength, light gong, and body forging that circulated on the rivers and lakes, and drove the strong men of the whole castle to practice hard, and it took 20 years to have today's achievements. ”

"That's the case, I'm impressed." Xing Zongliang clenched his fists and said.

"There were a few brothers who went out of the fort to learn art, but they have not returned, and I don't know whether they are alive or dead." Peng Huan seemed to think of the people of that year, and suddenly felt lonely.
