Chapter 254: Pingzhou borrows the mountain
"Tosh!"
A swordsman gallops across the snowy field.
There is still snow on the snowfield, but it is much thinner, and sometimes the horse's hooves step down and bring the snow up, leaving dark horseshoe prints on the ground.
A red horse ran beside it with a quilt bag, a blanket hung on the quilt, and a three-flowered cat was pretended, showing a head, bumping up and down with the horse running, but stretching its neck to stare ahead.
There are hundreds of miles away.
In the middle, there are many ravines and even abysses left by the original river, and you have to make a detour.
Ran from noon to dusk.
When the swordsman arrived, the sky had already darkened, and he saw a spring on the ground from a distance, colorful, very calm, not a wave at all, and there was a Taoist sitting by the spring, with a quiet posture. As soon as he raised his gaze, the luster of the setting sun appeared under the thick clouds on the horizon, and the orange and yellow reflected were like fire, and the places that were not illuminated on the side were as white as ice.
Ice and fire meet, and the sky is clear.
The swordsman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The black horse had already followed the red horse and ran all the way to the Taoist on the ground.
"Meow ......"
The three-flowered cat struggled to jump out of the blanket and fell to the ground.
In the new environment, he habitually glanced at the left and right vigilantly, and ran quickly to the Taoist, but when he approached, he slowed down, stretched out his little tongue and licked his mouth, turned to a very slow step, and slowly approached the Taoist unhurriedly, and then stretched his waist again.
"Sanhua Niangniang."
The Taoist turned his head, reached out to caress her back, and smiled slightly: "Long time no see." β
"Long time no see~"
Sanhua Cat thought about it, then tilted his head again and said, "It seems like it's been a while~"
"Do you miss me?"
"Hmm......"
The three-flowered cat looked left and right, and then turned its head to look at him: "Have you eaten?" β
"It's like I haven't eaten in a while."
"Huh?"
Sanhua Cat was shocked when she heard this, stared at him and asked, "Then why haven't you been starved to death yet?" β
"It's not close."
"Shu brought a cake~"
"There's no hurry."
At this time, the swordsman also turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted.
"Sir!"
Song You also turned his head to look at him: "Long time no see, how are you staying outside?" β
"All well!" The swordsman said, frowning and looking left and right, and asked again, "The Snow Demon King has been removed?" β
"The innate gods are difficult to destroy, so they have to be sealed." Song You paused for a moment, and then said to him, "Maybe I need your help." β
"Huh? I don't know where to use it? β
"I want to keep Heyuan's chance, but I don't want the demon king to escape easily, so I have to use mountains and rivers to control water. However, there are no mountains for hundreds of miles, and ordinary mountains are not possible, and it just so happened that I was fortunate enough to know a mountain god. Song You said as he took out a piece of paper from his arms, which had been prepared a long time ago, "So I want to ask you to go to Pingzhou." Pingzhou Nanhua County, go to Xuzhou Xiangle County, there is an old road, there are hundreds of miles of mountains in the middle, no one has been there for a long time, if you want to go, get there, call the mountain god loudly, say that it is Yin Yang Mountain Fulongguan Song You looking for him, the mountain god will be able to know. β
ββ¦β¦β
The swordsman was stunned for a moment, took the letter, and then said, "What about when you arrive?" β
"I've written everything down in the letter, all you have to do is tell the mountain god that I'll ask him to borrow a mountain." Song You paused, "Just a mountain." β
ββ¦β¦β
The swordsman was still a little confused.
How do you borrow a mountain?
But he didn't say anything, just accepted it, and then clenched his fists and said, "Shu will go now." β
"There's no need to rush." Song You said to him, "It's getting late at the moment, so there's really no need to rush for a while, just rest for a day and set off again tomorrow." β
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"There's no hurry."
The group waited here all night.
All night, Song You sat by the spring, motionless, only occasionally emitting a few streams of light and falling into the spring.
The three-flowered cat sat next to him and stayed up late with him.
The next morning, the swordsman set out.
Song You didn't stop it, just looked at his black horse, and said to it: "This trip to Pingzhou, even if you don't detour, there are five or six thousand miles, and the back and forth is thousands of miles away, and the journey is the most hard. β
As if he really understood human speech, the black horse craned his neck and hissed.
Song You flicked his fingers, and a spiritual light flew out.
At this time, it was not long after the sting, and it was the stinging spiritual power of this year's New Year, and it was the same as the swordsman.
"Shu set off!"
"Be careful all the way, have a good trip." Song You told him, "There's really no need to be too eager. β
"Understood."
The swordsman turned over and got on his horse, and although he spoke, he immediately rode away, not wanting to delay at all.
I could see it all night last nightβ
Mr. is the sealing demon king, sitting by the spring, not moving all night, sleepless all night, why is not in a hurry?
The sound of the horses' hooves quickly faded away.
Song You retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, turned his head and saw the three-flowered cat sitting beside him, staring straight at the spring, silent but sleepy.
"Sanhua Niangniang, let's sleep."
"Sanhua Niangniang is not sleepy."
Squinting his eyes slightly as he spoke.
"Then forget it."
"Did Shu go to the mountain god?"
"Yes."
"Is it the bad mountain god we met?"
"It's not bad."
"He's amazing!"
"Yes."
"The water is hard to drink!"
"Yes."
"Will he lend it to us?"
"Probably so."
Song You is actually not sure.
The grasp is eighty or ninety.
Pingzhou is mountainous, hundreds of miles of mountains, there are countless peaks, and the mountain gods do not lack this one.
If it is borrowed, this mountain will stand here to suppress the demons of the snow field, and it will be the only mountain within a radius of hundreds of miles, and it will be worshiped by countless descendants for thousands of years to come, and it is also a great merit. Now the mountain god is worried about whether the Heavenly Palace will attack him, whether it is the incense of the people of the county or the mountain peak that is playing a role, it can solve this problem for him.
In addition, it is clearly written in the letter.
This is a favor owed by Song You, hundreds of years later, if the Snow Demon King is killed, or the descendants of Fulongguan are stronger from generation to generation, there is a way to kill the Demon King, and then the descendants of Guanzhong will return the mountain peak to him.
Nine times out of ten, they will borrow.
β¦β¦
The old horse knows the way, and the black horse follows the Taoist all the way, and he also has a lot of spirituality, following the road when he came yesterday, and running all the way.
Speed shocked even the swordsman.
This black horse was originally a good horse, but it was obtained by the swordsman who walked in the north and encountered a small group of Saibeiers who went south to make trouble, and killed it. In the last year, I know that there have been many changes in it, but most of the time he has dismounted and walked like his husband, and only trotted on the horse when he was exploring the path, and rarely ran at full speed, nor rarely traveled long distances, but he did not know that it had changed so much.
Twists and turns around for 200 miles, non-stop, and soon saw the county seat of Hanshu.
The swordsman rode directly to the city of Cold Crisp.
"Who came on horseback?"
"Lord Jin Xiaojin is here?"
"Lord Kim......"
One of the soldiers on the wall immediately left.
After a while, a small official went up to the city.
"Shu Daxia?"
The little official recognized the swordsman at a glance and was immediately overjoyed: "Shu Daxia is back?" How is the sir? How's it going on in the snowfields? Shu Daxia is going to the city? β
"Shu still has urgent matters, so he won't go into the city, just ask Lord Jin if there is any dry food that is easy to carry, Shu will ask for some, and then thank Lord Jin when he comes back."
"Nature has nature and nature has ......"
"Just throw it down."
"Wait a minute!"
The little official didn't talk nonsense, and immediately turned around and ran back.
After a while, he took a package and left it at the head of the city.
"Thank you!"
The swordsman bent down and picked it up, saluted, and without saying a word, rode his horse away.
One man and one horse were quickly gone.
Only the little officials are left unclear.
If you look to the north, you can't see the end.
This is the northernmost part of Gui County, and the North Wind Pass is the southernmost part of Gui County, and if you take the official road, there is a distance of three or four hundred miles.
The dark horse arrived in the afternoon.
"Who's coming?"
"Shu Yifan, who came, passed by with Mr. Song You Song last winter, I don't know if General Zong is here?"
The figure of the guard soon appeared on the castle tower, and asked below:
"Shu Yifan? How did you come back? What about Mr. Song? β
"Mr. is in the snow to eliminate demons, Shu was ordered to go to Pingzhou to have important things to do, and asked the general to open the door and let him go, and within half a month, he will come back."
"Kill demons in the snowfield, why do you want to go to Pingzhou? Pingzhou is far away, how can you come back within half a month? β
"Go to Pingzhou and borrow an object."
"Switch!"
The guard waved his big hand and directly switched and released.
The swordsman thanked him again and rode away.
A group of guards watched from the city tower, looking at each other, the war horse is the other pair of legs of the general, naturally able to distinguish the horsepower, just a glance, they all secretly praised in their hearts, it is really a good horse.
From Guijun to Pingzhou Mountain, almost through the entire Hezhou, then Angzhou, Jingzhou, and most of Pingzhou, thousands of miles away.
The swordsman gets up early and goes on the road in the spring.
The dark horse and he seem to be tireless.
Even the swordsman had the vague illusion that his horse seemed to be in a little more anxious than he wasβhe stood up early in the morning and waited, and if he walked a little late, he would come to call him, and at night, the horse seemed to be more reluctant to stop than he was.
The faster I run, the more miles I travel almost every day.
There are some places in Hezhou where the ice and snow are still there, the more south you go, the warmer it will be, all the way through Angzhou, Jingzhou, and through Pingzhou, through Nanhua County, looking for someone to ask, you will arrive at the hundreds of miles of mountains.
Here are two places that are completely different from Guijun and even Hezhou.
Guijun is flat, walking hundreds of miles can not see a trace of ups and downs, a small slope can not be seen, Hezhou also has no big mountains, but here hundreds of miles, as far as the eye can see, the peaks are numerous, undulating, and there is no end in sight.
It's February, the earth is springing, and the whole mountain has turned green, mysterious and spectacular.
Shu Yifan was apprehensive in his heart, but he also followed Mr.'s instructions, looked around, and shouted loudly:
"In Xia Shu Yifan, entrusted by Mr. Song You Song of Yin and Yang Mountain Fulongguan, come here, visit the mountain god, ask for something, please come out and see!
"In Xia Shu Yifan, entrusted by Mr. Song You Song of Yin and Yang Mountain Fulongguan, he came here......
ββ¦β¦β
He shouted three times in a row.
The sound echoed in the mountains.
Suddenly, the swordsman seemed to notice something, and turned abruptly.
I saw that there was a stone wall in the mountain behind him, the stone wall was 100 feet high and 100 feet wide, and it was ordinary when passing by, but at this time, a human face suddenly appeared on it, staring at him.
"What happened?"
ββ¦β¦β
The swordsman is not in a hurry, neither humble nor arrogant, running thousands of miles, but also does not seem to feel tired, and clasps his fists and salutes: "In Xia Shu Yifan, entrusted by Mr. Song You Song of Yin and Yang Mountain, I came here to borrow a mountain peak from the mountain god to suppress the spirit of the chaotic snowfield, this is Mr.'s handwriting!" β
As he spoke, he handed out a handbook.
"Hoo ......"
A gust of wind blew, and the handwritten book was swept away from his hand and rolled to the side of the stone wall.
After a few moments, the faces on the stone wall faded.
"Have a cup of tea, please."
The voice came from behind him.
The swordsman turned around abruptly, only to see that on the mountain behind him, next to the road, there was an additional pavilion at some point, and there was also a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous costume, setting a table between the pavilions, making tea, and smiling and making a gesture to him, telling him to drink tea.
The swordsman has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, has seen a lot of knowledge, and has killed many demons and ghosts, but where have you ever seen such a god inviting people to drink tea?
It's just that there's nothing to be afraid of.
Then he walked over and sat down with his sword.
