Chapter Eighty-Two: The Wind Blows
Gu Shengchao woke up and it was already dawn, and he was about to get up, when a lotus root arm was placed on his chest, and he said softly: "It's still early, where is Xianggong going?" ”
"I'm also acting as the Evil King, so I'm going to the main hall to listen to what they're saying?" Gu Shengchao is a serious way.
poof, Wan Ruo smiled like a flower: "First of all, that hall is called the council hall, and secondly, we don't have to go every day, unless there are special circumstances, every time the mantissa is three, six, and nine days have passed." We spent a full moon last night, so why not take this opportunity to communicate more. ”
There was a sudden sound of a gentle knock on the door, and Wu Jun said softly outside: "Is the master awake, I contacted the textile lady to tailor the new clothes for the uncle." ”
"Right away." Gu Shengchao got up to get dressed.
"Wait." Wan Ruo coveted the beauty of last night, and forcibly pushed down Gu Shengchao, and came to a bully to make a bow......
After a long time, Gu Shengchao was dressed and opened the door, Wu Jun is person who came over knew what they were doing, covered his mouth and secretly laughed for fear of laughing, and secretly admired the master's fierceness.
The textile lady oversized the size of Gu Sheng, and after a few people finished breakfast, Gu Shengchao and Wan Ruo joined hands to visit the faint king of Danqun.
After yesterday's healing, Shan Qun has been able to sit up on his own, and his face is rosy and his complexion is very good. Gu Shengchao was not at ease, and spent some time dredged the meridians around his body, and after finishing, Gu Shengchao was already sweating profusely and showing exhaustion.
"Thank you Brother Gu for your help, I can't repay it alone, and if you have a place to find me in the future, even if you open your mouth, I will respond to all your requests." Shan Qun felt that the meridians of his whole body were refreshed, as if he had infinite strength to burst out, and he was very grateful to Gu Shengchao.
Mrs. Shan Qun was also grateful, and personally served tea and poured water to take care of her.
Wan Ruo smiled: "Sister-in-law has worked hard, it's all my own people who don't need to be so polite, and we are all a little flattered." ”
Mrs. Shan Qun's eyes were always on Gu Shengchao, and she quipped: "If my sister comes, I won't bother to take care of it, you are stained with the light of your brother-in-law." ”
"Really?" Wan Ruo took Gu Shengchao in his arms and deliberately said: "As soon as my sister-in-law said this, sister-in-law, I began to worry, and in the future, I will have to take care of my father-in-law, and it will all become fragrant and sweet." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
The two were leaving, but Mrs. Shan Qun personally sent them out, and settled down with a smile: "Xiao Beisheng is newly married, sister-in-law, don't tire your brother-in-law, otherwise my sister-in-law won't be able to spare you." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Wan Ruo's face was full of spring breeze, and he took Gu Shengchao's hand and walked on the road with a smile.
If you are in a good mood and have nothing to do, you will lead the ancient saint to enjoy the scenery and introduce the topography and distribution of the Valley of the Four Kings. The two climbed to a high peak, and the Valley of the Four Kings was in full view, with a clear view of the curved river and the streets and alleys built along the mountain, and from time to time there were clouds floating under their feet, which made people feel refreshed.
Gu Shengchao was puzzled: "The Valley of the Four Kings is right in front of me, why can't I find it when I climbed up the mountain from the waterfall that day?" ”
Behind him were mountains, Wan Ruo turned to point there and said: "The terrain of the Valley of the Four Kings is unique, standing at the foot of the mountain is not steep, you can see that there are peaks towering into the clouds from a distance, plus the mountain road is winding, it is easy for those who are not familiar with the terrain to get lost and go elsewhere." We are now climbing over the mountains behind us to get out, and it is extremely difficult to climb the mountains and mountains. When I was young, I tried to be naughty, but I almost froze to death on the top of the peak when the wind was biting cold and the snow was blowing, and I didn't dare to try again. ”
"I see." Gu Shengchao looked at the bottom of the mountain in a daze.
Wan Ruo grabbed his arm, and the little bird pressed against his chest like a human and said, "What do you want?" ”
Holding her hand that had been grinding out a little calloused after practicing her skills, Gu Shengchao pondered: "Ding Ying and I met the wolf demon of Beihu on the way back, and finally narrowly won. I'm wondering, could it be that the two of us missed something on Snake Island, causing the power of the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique to be far less powerful than the Phoenix Sword Technique. ”
"Do you want to check it out on Snake Island again?" Wan Ruo said softly.
Gu Shengchao nodded: "It does mean this." ”
"Why don't you wait two days before leaving?" Wan Ruo looked at Gu Shengchao, and his eyes were a little confused.
Gu Shengchao secretly screamed badly, and was just about to escape, when Wan Ruo tripped and fell under his feet, and then pressed up......
After two days of hard work, Wan Ruo finally spared Gu Shengchao, and the two of them prepared to rush to Snake Island. They first rested in the wooden hut of Chijin Mountain, put the things they didn't use there, and then the two of them crossed the river. This time, Wan Ruo no longer twisted and pinched, and generously applied medicinal mud naked in front of Gu Shengchao to guard against poisonous snakes.
Successfully found the cave on Snake Island, and the two turned over the four stone chambers and found no abnormalities. Gu Shengchao wondered, could it be that the Feng Wu Sword Technique was so unbearable?
"Could it be that there are other caves that haven't been found?" If you remind.
The two searched every corner and found no other caves, but found another anomaly in the process of searching, that is, each spring was relatively high, and then flowed along the artificially dug ditch to other places. Since Snake Island does not have particularly high peaks, the direction of these ditches cannot be found for a while.
The two tentatively stood on the Chijin Mountain and looked into the distance, but they still couldn't see clearly from too far away.
Gu Shengchao remembered the scene when he and Wan Ruo looked down on the Valley of the Four Kings from the top of the peak, and blurted out: "If only I could fly over Snake Island, I would definitely see it clearly." ”
He said casually, but if he was attentive, the two sat side by side on the stone beam and thought hard. It happened that a bird crossed overhead, and the two of them thought for a moment and said in unison: "Paper kite." ”
As he said, Wan Ruo returned to the Valley of the Four Kings to find the master carpenter and asked them to measure Gu Shengchao's size and order a large kite that could make him lie on it. The master carpenter split the straight bamboo into bamboo strips, bent them into a suitable shape after baking and steam heating, and finally covered them with hemp paper soaked in tung oil, with an opening in the upper middle to allow Gu Shengchao's head to poke out to observe the situation below.
The master carpenter was afraid that it would not be enough, so he made five in succession and handed them to Wan Ruo.
Wan Ruo weighed the weight of the kite, and mobilized the apprentices to weave a long rope overnight, which led many disciples to Snake Island.
Surrounded by two rivers in front of and behind Snake Island, and between the two rivers is a continuous mountain, the only feasible way is for everyone to ride their horses along the river and drive the kite into the air, and then choose the right time to cut the rope and let the kite glide over Snake Island on its own for observation. After the rope is cut, it is not easy to connect, so Yu Ji thought of a way to hang a temporary buckle on the front section of the kite, and only need to pull the buckle to detach the two, which is convenient for the next use.
Everything was ready, Gu Shengchao lay on top of the kite, and more than ten disciples under Wan Ruo galloped at the same time, forcibly pulling up the huge kite. Gu Shengchao only heard the whirring wind next to his ears, and the strong wind made it a little difficult for him to breathe, and when the kite came to the side of Snake Island, he decisively pulled off the buckle.
The kite was uncontrolled and plunged straight into the river.
Wan Ruo was frightened, and ran to the shore and was about to jump into the river to rescue, but saw Gu Shengchao poke his head out and waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, don't come over." "The ancient saint is very good at super water, and slowly swam over and went ashore, but unfortunately destroyed a kite.
Everyone studied countermeasures, and it was estimated that they did not grasp the direction of the wind, Gu Shengchao had been on the ground for a long time, and he had a preliminary grasp of how to adjust the direction of the kite glide in the air.
With the experience of the first time, the second time was relatively smooth, after Gu Shengchao removed the buckle in mid-air, the wind direction changed abruptly, he swayed left and right in the air, and the people watching below also let out a burst of exclamations at the same time. Luckily, he practiced on the ground in advance, constantly adjusting his body posture to control the kite and keep it balanced. The kite circled in the air, and after a few turns, it slowly fell into the dense forest next to it.
Gu Shengchao's kung fu was in his body, and he jumped to the canopy in time to dodge, the kite hit the tree, and the covered hemp paper was hung by the branches and could not be used again.
Everyone regretted it and had to try again.
For the third time, Wu Jun raised a yellow flag in the distance, and everyone could intuitively feel the change in wind direction. When Gu Shengchao flew again, everyone looked at the flag in Wu Jun's hand anxiously, and they were extremely excited to see the yellow flag waving in the wind, and Gu Shengchao saw that the time had come and decisively removed the rope. Just as he was trying to float in the direction of Snake Island, the flag that had been waving in the wind just now suddenly drooped.
Without the impetus of the wind, the big kite fell straight ahead, Wu Jun held the flag high in front, she saw the kite landing on top of her head, threw away the flag and ran away, but strangely, which direction she ran, the kite followed which square to chase.
Gu Shengchao on the kite was also puzzled, in which direction he was dodging, Wu Jun ran in which direction, as if he had discussed with him in advance.
Seeing that the kite was about to hit Wu Jun, she was in a hurry and simply leaned over to the ground, and the kite flew over her head and smashed to the ground. Gu Shengchao had been prepared for a long time, and the moment the kite landed, it rolled over, unloading the power of the fall, and was unscathed.
After three failures, everyone was a little discouraged. Gu Shengchao became more and more courageous, he encouraged everyone: "Don't be afraid, you will succeed soon, it's a big deal to make a few more kites, I'm not afraid of what you are afraid of." ”
Everyone was encouraged and cheered up, and this time Wan Ruo held a flag directly in front of everyone to watch the direction of the wind, and the rest of the disciples all dragged the rope to make the kite fly higher.
When Wan Ruo saw the flag hunting, when the wind was rising, he shouted: "Get up! ”
In the distance, more than a dozen horses galloped and ran, Gu Shengchao lay on the kite and floated high, he shook left and right to control the balance of the kite, and the big kite flew steadily in the air. When he arrived at the position, Gu Shengchao stared at the flag still flying high, he removed the buckle in time, and the kite carried him smoothly towards the sky above Snake Island.
"It's done!"
"Flew over!"
The crowd cheered.
Wan Ruo's heart also raised his throat, lest the direction of the wind change, until the kite floated safely over Snake Island, and a hanging heart finally landed.
