Chapter 80: Husband and wife reunited
Gu Shengchao had a smooth journey, and in order to reach the Valley of the Four Kings as soon as possible, he came to the familiar mountains without sleep all night, and stopped in front of a rushing river. The river beach in front of him was flooded, and the road was full of large and small gravels washed out, and Gu Shengchao remembered that it was here that Wu Jun and Yu Ji put him into a sack, and the two of them carried him forward. He remembered how bright and dark it was, and the feeling of rain soaking his body, and sometimes the roar of the rapids.
With these memories, Gu Shengchao dismounted and groped forward to find it on foot. He felt that the water level on the river beach was higher than the last time, the last time the river beach was only a shallow layer of water, and the water surface was under his feet to walk, but now the water was submerged to his ankles, and his shoes were wet.
After walking a short distance, a waterfall flowed down, and the ancient saint was super excited, it should be here. He climbed up the rocks, but did not find the entrance, he observed for a long time and suddenly realized that the entrance was behind the curtain of water in the waterfall. The waterfall washed down to form a curtain of water, and Gu Shengchao braved the icy and biting torrent to rush in, but inside was a dark cliff, almost hitting his head and breaking the bloodstream.
Gu Shengchao searched around, but could not find the entrance, and in desperation, he was ready to forcibly climb over the mountain. He was full of internal strength, and climbed to the top of the mountain like an ape, and as far as the eye could see, there were mountains all around, and one mountain was higher than the other. He climbed in the general direction, sometimes jumping down a deep ravine, sometimes reaching the summit, and rushing towards the highest peak. Until the middle of the moon, he felt that he had reached the peak, and then he looked into the distance, and there were even more peaks towering in the misty night.
He was completely desperate, and among the undulating mountains, he couldn't find where the Valley of the Four Kings was.
Gu Shengchao had no choice but to return the way he came, and as he walked, he found that he couldn't find the way he came, and stumbled into the habitat of a group of apes by mistake.
The ape thought that Gu Shengchao had come to seize the land, and jumped on the tree with a loud cry, constantly warning his companions. Gu Shengchao turned to leave, but the ape didn't give up, picking the hard fruit on the tree and throwing it like raindrops. The apes were the masters of the forest, and no matter how agile the ancient saints were, they were no match for them, so they had to use the iron arm to protect their bodies, and their heads, backs, and arms were attacked by a lot of fruits, and they fled there in embarrassment.
After tossing all night, Gu Shengchao didn't close his eyes, and he didn't return to the original river beach until noon. The ancient saint was tired, tired and hungry, and sat down under the tree to rest. He thought that if he really couldn't do it, he would go to the small mountain village at the bottom of the mountain to live first, and then find a way to ask. He was thinking about an idea, and inadvertently looked up to find a small boat out of thin air on the river, and a woman on the boat was also looking curiously over here, and the woman looked familiar.
"Wu Jun, is that you?" Gu Shengchao hurriedly stood up and waved desperately over there.
"Uncle Shi, it's me, you wait for us to come over immediately." Wu Jun was also surprised, jumping and shouting at Gu Shengchao.
The light boat came quickly, and the shallow water of the river beach stopped not far away, Wu Jun waded in the water and ran over to grab Gu Shengchao and said anxiously: "Where did Uncle Shi go, my master is sick with thoughts, and people are going crazy." ”
"It's hard to put into words, I chased after the person who hurt the big brother of the faint king Dan, and I actually went to the country of Xileng, and finally learned how to treat it. I arrived here yesterday, I don't know the road, and I haven't found the entrance all day. Gu Shengchao pulled Wu Jun and said, "Let's go, hurry back to see your master." ”
The two men got into the boat, and the boatman pulled the oars, and the boat slid on the water.
Wu Jun was in a trance at first, but when he got on the boat, he suddenly couldn't help laughing, leaning forward and almost falling off the boat.
"What's wrong?" Gu Shengchao was a little surprised.
Wu Jun said with a smile: "I was wondering why Uncle Shi couldn't find the entrance when he returned home, and I didn't hold back when I remembered the scene that day, please don't be surprised." ”
Gu Shengchao also smiled: "What's so embarrassing about this, my wife who couldn't beat me was put into a sack and carried in, it's normal, right?" ”
"Normal, normal." Wu Jun nodded again and again, still couldn't help but steal fun.
The boat turned around on the surface of the river and sailed into a very narrow cave, which could not be found from the beach.
Gu Shengchao was strange: "No, I was carried by the two of you in the sack that day, and I didn't feel like I had been on a boat?" ”
Wu Jun nodded, trying to calm herself down, she pointed to the water and said: "This river has a month of high water every year, and during this time you can only take boats, and the rest of the days the river level drops. We'll be able to take the side walkway. ”
Gu Shengchao looked in the direction of Wu Jun's finger, under the clear water, along the cave wall, there was indeed a stone path that could be paralleled by two people, all of which were traces of artificial excavation. He looked up, and there was also a dug corridor at the top of the cave, guarded by guards at short intervals, on guard and guard at any time. The cave was long and narrow, curved, with a section in the middle of the cave where water seeped through the roof, and the body was wet.
This cave alone has the geographical advantage of being a husband and a man, and it is not easy to be discovered, so it is normal for people to not find the Valley of the Four Kings.
Walking out of the cave, there was a clear pond in front of him, the boat docked, Gu Shengchao was confused for a while and forgot the way home, Wu Jun pulled him and ran.
The two returned to the courtyard and didn't see Wan Ruo, and the servant who was cleaning said, "The Night Phantom King rode out yesterday and never returned. ”
"Oh no, my master will definitely go to Chijin Mountain to wait for you again, since my uncle left, she will go there to wait for you whenever she has free time, her expression is in a trance as if she is enchanted, and no one can persuade her." Wu Jun said anxiously.
Gu Shengchao was hungry, he rubbed his stomach and said, "Can you prepare three fast horses, I will rush over overnight." ”
"Yes." Wu Jun turned around and ran out.
Gu Shengchao said in a loud voice: "It's better to find something to eat, I haven't eaten since yesterday." ”
Wu Jun ran fast and didn't know if she heard it, but after a while, she really brought back three horses, one of which was carrying something on its back. She handed the reins to Gu Shengchao and said, "There are water bladders, flatbread and beef jerky on the horseback, enough for you and my master to eat back and forth." ”
"Thank you." Gu Shengchao got on his horse and thanked him, and galloped away in the direction of Chijin Mountain. He rode on three horses in turn, nibbling on a few mouthfuls of bread when he was hungry, and taking a water bladder and drinking two sips when he was thirsty, and finally arrived there about the second day.
From a distance, there was a person standing on the top of the mountain, his black robe hunting in the strong wind, and the aura of slaughter enveloped the entire hill, looking aggressive.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the man on the top of the mountain turned his head, and in an instant he was petrified and there in an instant, and the man hesitated for a moment and flew down, and the killing aura just now instantly became full of spring, warming the whole peak.
"Lady, I'm back." Gu Shengchao beckoned to Wan Ruo, he couldn't wait to stop the horse, and jumped up from the horse's back to meet Wan Ruo.
"Where you have died, I am terrified every day." Wan Ruo threw himself into Gu Shengchao's arms, like a little girl who was just beginning to fall in love, and gently beat his strong chest with his fist, and the pearl-like tears also rolled down and shattered to the ground.
"This is not coming back, there are a lot of experiences in it, and I will tell you slowly, the key is to learn how to treat Brother Shan." Gu Shengchao said softly.
Wan Ruo jumped up excitedly: "Really? That's great. ”
Gu Shengchao suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and slowly fell backwards.
"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" If you hold him, you will be anxious.
Gu Shengchao touched Wan Ruo's pink face full of tears, and comforted: "I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy." With that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. I didn't close my eyes for three days and three nights, either rushing or climbing between the peaks, and I couldn't hold on to this time as someone else.
When Gu Shengchao opened his eyes again, it was pitch black in front of him, his ears were snoring like thunder, and one leg was still pressing on his stomach. He secretly laughed at himself, if he was good anywhere, he just slept and snored at night and didn't honestly love to play monkey boxing, which made him a little unacceptable.
This is the case, and the only way is to endure it.
Gu Shengchao couldn't sleep when he heard the snoring sound one after another, and he wanted to turn over for fear of disturbing Wan Ruo, so he had to insist on not moving. Listening and listening, the annoying snoring just now actually heard a rhythmic rhythm, he inhaled and exhaled with the rhythm, and unconsciously fell asleep again.
When I woke up, it was dawn. Gu Shengchao found him lying in the wooden house where the Chijin Yam Farmer temporarily lived, and Wan Ruozheng was lying next to him staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"You're awake." Gu Shengchao stretched out his hand to hug her, but his arm stopped in mid-air and didn't dare to make a move, lest she wouldn't let her.
Wan Ruo smiled and held his hand, put it on himself, leaned towards Gu Shengchao's side, and said softly: "Tell me about your experience during this time!" ”
Gu Shengchao looked at Wan Ruo's tender appearance, but he didn't dare to hide it, he knew that the woman in front of him was thoughtful, not comparable to ordinary women. So he told Wan Ruo how to chase Zhuang Lutao after the two left, and then went to Xileng and finally came back with Ding Ying to tell Wan Ruo in detail, including meeting Wang Yuan and the two of them being drunk.
Wan Ruo thought for a moment after hearing this, and said, "The strength of the Dark Moon Hall should not be underestimated, it seems that I underestimated them before." ”
"Darkmoon Hall?" Wan Ruo didn't have a head or a brain to pop out such a sentence, which made Gu Shengchao a little surprised, he thought about it carefully, he didn't mention this sect just now, so he asked: "Which sect is the Dark Moon Hall, is it related to what I just said?" ”
"Yes, it's a big deal." Wan Ruo took the initiative to hug Gu Shengchao together, and said softly: "I only know that Dark Moon Hall is from Beihu, and is good at assassination and sneak attacks. Listen to what you just said, that frustrated Qu Meng said that the Fengwu Qiuhuang faction is divided into three in Beihu, and the Shuangdaomen should be the one faction that moved westward, the remaining faction in Beihu, and the other faction is unknown. However, Lu Wanshan, whom you met in Cloud City, had a fight with Bian Bald over the Phoenix Dance Sword, and their swordsmanship was similar to that of the Phoenix Sword, which meant that the faction to which they belonged was inseparable from the Seeking Phoenix Sword Technique. ”
Gu Shengchao sorted out his thoughts, and suddenly found that Wan Ruo's thinking was really quick, and he found many clues in a short period of time, all of which he had never paid attention to. He asked, "So, Lu Wanshan and Bian Bald are from the Dark Moon Hall?" ”
Wan Ruo nodded and said: "It is very likely that the women of the Dark Moon Hall use more double knives and shoot ruthlessly, although I have never fought with them, but there will always be various rumors left in the rivers and lakes, more or less I know about them." If you encounter them, be careful. ”
Gu Shengchao said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, I have already competed with the masters of the Dark Moon Hall. ”
"When?" Wan Ruo was taken aback and sat up.
