Chapter Twenty-Six: Strange Things Happen When You Go Down the Mountain
Back in the bamboo house, Jin Xiangming and Niu Yaowu had been waiting there for a long time, and the reason why he didn't see Jing Feiyu was because he went down the mountain early and returned to Jingyun Pavilion to discuss with his parents about his marriage with Huo Wushuang.
Seeing Li Chunfeng return to the bamboo house, the two immediately surrounded him, and the fat man asked, "Xiaochunzi, when will we go down the mountain?" ”
Sitting at the bamboo table, Li Chunfeng asked rhetorically, "Have you told Yan Beitian and the six elders about this?" ”
In any case, they must be agreed by Yan Beitian to go down the mountain to practice, otherwise they will defect to the mountain gate and will be hunted down by the entire Qingyou Valley.
As soon as he mentioned this, Lao Niu stood up, full of doubts, and said: "It's strange for you to say, when we went to see Yan Beitian and the six elders, he agreed very happily, but according to the rules of Qingyou, every disciple who goes down the mountain to experience training must pay fifty taels of silver to the mountain every month, as a reward for the hard work of Qingyu Valley over the years, if we go out for a year, wouldn't we have to pay six hundred taels of silver?" It's fucking black! ”
It's no wonder that Lao Niu is rude, they have been in Qingyou Valley for so many years, although they have learned some skills, and they also have a few taels of silver every month, but compared with these six hundred taels, it is a world of difference, so many disciples dare not go out to practice, and can only accept the tasks arranged by the sect.
The fat man patted Lao Niu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't you still have mine?" If you really can't afford to pay it back, I'll do it for you. ”
As a buddy, Lao Niu naturally won't see the fat man, but he is just angry, if there is no money, wouldn't they be tied to Qingyou Valley for the rest of their lives and become a tool for the sect to make money.
Yun'er sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Spring Breeze, did you tell Han Jin's seniors about going down the mountain?" ”
Since he told the six elders and the head of the sect about their descent from the mountain, Li Chunfeng began to pack his things and prepare to leave, and when he heard Yun'er's question, he stopped and said: "Since I defeated Murong Bo that day, I have never seen Uncle Han Jin again, he may have been sent on a mission again, I left a letter in his study, he will know that I have come down the mountain when he comes back to see it, rest assured, nothing will happen with his skills." ”
After cleaning up, Li Chunfeng was about to follow the two partners down the mountain, but was stopped by Yun'er and said, "You guys just swaggered down the mountain, aren't you afraid that Yan Beitian will follow you?" ”
Li Chunfeng slapped his head, actually forgot about this stubble, and said: "Yun'er, since you have said so, there is naturally a way for us to go down the mountain unconsciously." ”
He sat up from the bed, came to the door, beckoned to the three of them, and said, "Let's go, I really have a secret place to go down the mountain, so I'll take you there." She just wanted to leave, but stopped again and continued: "Chunfeng, and the two of you, don't you say goodbye to Tianxi's girl?" ”
While shaking his head, Li Chunfeng said: "No, when she knows that we are going down the mountain, she will definitely follow us, and it is safer for her to stay with Sister Xu Qing." ”
Yun'er nodded, and then left the bamboo house with a few people, walked through the bamboo forest, and came to the waterhole that she happened to encounter before, she pointed to the waterfall above, and said: "There is a cave inside, which I and the master accidentally discovered, few people know about it, and the exit of the cave is just at the bottom of the mountain." As soon as the words fell, Yun'er performed light skills and flew into the waterfall, and the three of them also followed when they saw this.
Sure enough, there was a hole in the middle of the waterfall, Yun Ling'er picked up the torch she had prepared, distributed it to the three people behind her, and then led them in.
The cave was very dark, and the water droplets kept falling from the stones above, and if it weren't for the light of the torches, they really couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, but the inside was quite wide, and it didn't hinder movement at all.
Several people turned left and turned for an unknown amount of time, and finally reached the exit, at this time, Yun'er's eyes were full of tears, and her heart was full of reluctance.
Seeing this scene, the fat man and the old cow came to the exit to leave room for the two to be alone.
Li Chunfeng didn't want to be separated from Yun'er, who didn't want to stay with his beloved in peace, but there were many things waiting for him to do, and there were many things waiting for him to figure out, so he had to leave.
Holding Yun'er's hand, Li Chunfeng comforted: "Yun'er, I don't want to be separated from you, but don't worry, the next time we meet, no one will stop us from being together." ”
The two talked in the cave for a long time, and Li Chunfeng was reluctant to turn around and leave, at this moment, Yun'er suddenly ran to Li Chunfeng's side, hugged her suddenly, and tears unconsciously welled up from her eyes.
When the fat man and the old cow standing at the exit saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh for these two hard-working mandarin ducks, and the fat man was even more moved and said an ancient poem: "Ask the world, what is love, only teach life and death to promise." ”
The old cow touched his head and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
The fat man gave him a blank look and said, "You don't have to ask, little boy, you'll know later." ”
After separating from Yun'er, Li Chunfeng walked towards the exit. Yun'er looked at the direction where her beloved disappeared and was reluctant to leave for a long time.
Although the cave is very spacious, but the exit can only accommodate one person to drill out, and it is blocked by a big stone, the three of them wasted a lot of strength to push it open, and outside the exit is a weed, Li Chunfeng poked his head out and found that there were no patrolling disciples around, after the old cow and the fat man shouted out, they blocked the entrance of the cave again.
Since the three of them had not completely left the mountain, and there were still disciples patrolling back and forth from time to time, they decided to wait until it was dark before setting off, so as not to be discovered by others.
As soon as it was dark, the three of them took advantage of the patrol to leave here immediately, and after running for more than ten miles, they took a break in a ruined temple.
The fat man took out the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and handed it to the two people beside him.
Li Chunfeng took a sip of wine and asked the two beside him, "What are your plans next?" ”
The fat man took out a sheepskin map from his bosom, and then the light of the bonfire, pointed to a route on it for the two of them, and said: "Walk a few hundred miles to the west, and you will reach the desert, and the place where I point is a place called the opening of the ancient battlefield of the Ten Thousand Army Tomb, we can go there to try our luck and see if we can pick up the treasure." ”
"The mound of hosts?" Li Chunfeng and Lao Niu asked in unison.
Seeing the puzzled appearance of the two, the fat man had to bother to explain.
The place where the ancient battlefield called the mound of ten thousand armies is located, hundreds of thousands of troops have fought here, and finally the armies of both sides died together, so they were buried here, and later there were countless masters who went to hunt for treasures, most of them were buried here, so there were countless famous weapons and powerful cheats, as well as countless treasures, and then somehow, this ancient battlefield disappeared out of thin air, appearing once every forty years, each time only seven days, and another month is the time when the ancient battlefield will open again, so Jin Xiangming wants to try his luck.
When it came to the ancient battlefield, Li Chunfeng thought of his grandfather again, the broken sword, he had heard from Uncle Han Jin, this sword was called Longquan September Sword, which used to be the first sword in the world, but then disappeared, and then it was obtained by his grandfather, and finally passed to Li Chunfeng's hands.
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart, forty years ago, this ancient battlefield grandfather also went there? If this is the case, then everything makes sense about the origin of this sword.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Chunfeng said, "I'll go too." ”
As soon as Lao Niu heard that there were many gold and silver treasures in the ancient battlefield, his eyes were directly glowing with golden light, and he also wanted to try his luck, wouldn't it be better if he really got rich, so he immediately said: "I'll go too." ”
The reason why Lao Niu loves money is that his family is too poor, in order to let his family live a good life, he saves money all the time, but he always has a rule in his heart, ill-gotten wealth is not advisable, not the money he has worked hard to obtain is not advisable, so the fat man and Xiao Yuzi have tried to give him some help many times over the years, and most of them have made him refuse, otherwise there is a fat man, a little rich man, and his family will already live a rich life.
So the three of them decided to go together, and Lao Niu suddenly made a request, that is, after returning from the ancient battlefield, he wanted to invite the two to go back to his house for a while.
Hearing this, Li Chunfeng and the fat man were instantly happy, what is wrong with this, and after returning from the ancient battlefield, they returned to Lao Niu's house to live for a while.
The three of them rested in the ruined temple for one night, and bought some dry food to eat in a nearby town, and Li Chunfeng also hung a wine gourd around his waist and drank a sip of wine from time to time to relieve his lovesickness for Yun'er.
In order not to attract attention, and in order to reach the ancient battlefield quickly, they chose all the mountain and forest paths, but one day there was a heavy fog in the mountains, and they got lost before they knew it, and came to an unknown town.
This town is really a little weird, with white cloth and white lanterns hanging from every house, and the lanterns are written with big inscriptions, the gates are closed, and the streets are chaotic, as if no one lives.
Such a terrifying scene frightened the old cow and the fat man's legs trembling, and they all hid behind Li Chunfeng.
The fat man stammered, "Little ...... Haruko, this ...... The scene here is so scary, is it ...... Did you break into a ghost town by mistake? ”
Li Chunfeng rolled his eyes widely, and said angrily: "I said fatty, don't you claim to be full of poetry and books?" How can I be the same as Lao Niu, and I still believe in ghosts and fairies, and the books have been read in the dog's stomach. ”
Having said that, Li Chunfeng still felt that there was great suspicion here, there must be a demon when something went wrong, and since he came, he must clarify this matter before leaving.
The three of them didn't take two steps forward, and they found rows of corpses on both sides of the road ahead, so frightened that the fat man and the old cow almost jumped on Li Chunfeng, and were pushed away by him, and said: "I said don't be surprised, don't forget that I'm still a doctor, I'll see what happened to those corpses." ”
But as soon as Li Chunfeng covered his face with a white cloth, those corpses actually moved.
