CHAPTER XXIII

After another day of traveling, the three of them finally arrived near Dog Mountain.

Five hills stood not far away, Chengjiujiu put down the wine gourd in his mouth, and commented on this place: "No wonder this dog mountain has no name in the rivers and lakes, this ghost place is poor and partial, I don't want to come to the second trip with no amount of silver." ”

The three of them dismounted, Mu Jinghong tied the horse to a forest under the mountain, Mu Jinghong told Cheng Jiujiu: "Remember not to talk nonsense when you go up the mountain, the tiger can't stand the wolves, no matter how strong you are, you can't resist a hundred hands." ”

"I know, I know, you have said it hundreds of times along the way, and my ears will grow calluses."

Chengjiujiu was quite impatient, and Mu Jinghong no longer told her, but said to Yan Ting: "I'll do what I have to do, and we'll see you on Dog Head Mountain." ”

Yan Ting nodded, and Cheng Jiujiu was a little curious: "You want to leave us alone?" ”

Mu Jinghong smiled, muttered in his ear close to Cheng Jiujiu, and then bent down to pick up some dead leaves on the ground and threw them in the air, and used his light skills to step on the flying leaves and fly towards the mountain, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Jiujiu was stunned in place, she was looking for the words that Mu Jinghong left for her.

"The sword is on the eaves."

What does Mu Jinghong mean by this?

Cheng Jiujiu couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore, and asked Yan Ting: "He can sneak up the mountain, so what about us?" Just walk up? ”

Yan Ting said with a smile: "You and I are not good at light skills, even if you deliberately conceal it, it will be easy to be discovered, so it is better to just walk up." ”

Cheng Jiujiu shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more, the two of them immediately headed up the mountain, and just a few steps away, Yan Ting saw a white-haired majestic man standing on the steps up the mountain, looking at Yan Ting quietly.

Cheng Jiujiu looked at this person, then looked at Yan Ting's face a little strange, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know this person?" ”

Yan Ting smiled bitterly: "Not only do I know, but I am also a person who knows the roots." ”

"Who is he?"

"My master, known as Ling Canglang with a knife in the sea."

Ling Canglang has not left Dog Mountain for more than 20 years, in fact, he has not come down for several years after staying in Dog Head Mountain, Yan Ting has only seen Ling Canglang come to Dog Foot twice, once is his first time, and once is now.

Ling Canglang didn't bring a knife, Yan Ting had seen his knife, and before he met Dongfang Shenwei, Yan Ting always thought that his knife was the first knife in the world.

Cheng Jiujiu looked at Ling Canglang, she didn't feel Ling Canglang's murderous aura, the sword intent was different from the sword intent, if a person with a knife had a killing intent, that kind of fierce momentum would be difficult to hide.

Yan Ting took a deep breath, moved his steps and stepped on the steps, stopped ten steps away from Ling Canglang, and knelt down towards Ling Canglang: "Yan Ting to meet the master." ”

Ling Canglang didn't move, just said calmly: "Get up and look at me." ”

Yan Ting got up slowly, letting Ling Canglang look at him, Cheng Jiu Jiu Jiu walked to Yan Ting's side and held his somewhat trembling hand, feeling the temperature of Cheng Jiu Jiu's palm, Yan Ting also calmed down and looked directly at Ling Canglang's scrutinizing gaze.

After looking at it for a long time, Ling Canglang nodded, with a gentle smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have grown a lot." ”

Yan Ting didn't speak, Ling Canglang looked at Chengjiu Wine, and said with a smile: "Presumably you are Chengjiu Wine, although I haven't left the mountain, I still heard some things about you." ”

Cheng Jiujiu smiled: "I hope it's a good thing for you to hear about me, although I haven't done anything good." ”

Ling Canglang was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, turned around and waved his hand to the two: "Come with me." ”

Yan Ting pulled Chengjiu wine and followed Ling Canglang's footsteps upward, Ling Canglang led the two of them through the dog's foot and came directly to the most central Dog Head Mountain, which made Yan Ting a little shocked in his heart, because Dog Head Mountain is a forbidden place in Dog Mountain, he has been in Dog Mountain for several years, and has never entered Dog Shou once, but now Ling Canglang wants to take him directly into the forbidden land.

Coming to the mountainside of Inushou Mountain, there was a short man sitting on a boulder, Ling Canglang stopped and turned around, and said to Cheng Jiujiu: "City girl, can we let our master and apprentice catch up?" ”

Cheng Jiu Jiu looked at Yan Ting and gave him an inquiring look, Yan Ting nodded lightly, Cheng Jiu Jiu let go of Yan Ting's hand and left with the dwarf, Yan Ting stared at the dwarf's back and said with a smile: "Uncle Long still looks like this and hasn't changed." ”

Ling Canglang said: "It is difficult to see the change of a person from the appearance, he is a flying dragon trapped in the shallows, and he is also an evil dragon. ”

If there was no Mu family with a hidden sect, Kuntian Jade Dragon Long Xiaotian would be the fastest in the world, Yan Ting had no doubt about this.

Ling Canglang took Yan Ting to a manor, the village is extremely wide and luxuriously decorated, the courtyard is placed with strange stones of different shapes, planted with many flowers and Chinese medicine that Yan Ting can not recognize, but the strange thing is that there is no one in the huge manor, the two walked through the courtyard to a big house, Ling Canglang pushed the door open, turned around and saw that Yan Ting did not come in, and said: "This is where I live, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Yan Ting still didn't enter the house, but said outside the house: "The master wants me to enter the house, is there something to show me?" ”

Ling Canglang nodded and said, "There is something that Oolong Evergreen handed over to me, saying that it was left for you to open." ”

Yan Ting stiffened for a moment and asked, "Is Oolong Evergreen here?" ”

Ling Canglang had no intention of concealing it: "He's here." ”

Yan Ting walked into the house, there was a wooden box on the table in the room, and Ling Canglang said: "This is the box left by Oolong Changqing for you, you can open it and look at it." ”

Yan Ting did not hesitate, and immediately rushed over to open the box, which contained a severed hand.

Yan Ting turned around and asked Ling Canglang, "What about the Oolong Evergreen people?" And where are the people he brought? ”

Ling Canglang said: "You and I haven't seen each other for many years, and now as soon as we meet, you ask me for someone?" ”

Yan Ting was silent, he still had respect for this master, he really didn't want to oppose Ling Canglang, Ling Canglang saw that Yan Ting didn't speak, and took the initiative to say: "I didn't believe that you would come back for a dispensable person, but you disappointed me." ”

Yan Ting shouted loudly: "Master doesn't have to teach me what to do, what about the people brought up the mountain by Oolong Evergreen!" ”

Ling Canglang was furious and reprimanded Yan Ting: "You are my best disciple, but now you are taking such a risk for a dispensable person, don't you understand that there is something you shouldn't do?" ”

Yan Ting asked: "What the master said should not be done, does it mean that I should not be the enemy of Oolong Evergreen?" ”

Ling Canglang said: "No, I mean what you will do in the future. ”

Yan Ting said: "Does the master think that I shouldn't resist, but make a piece of meat on the board and let the Blood Shadow Gate slaughter it?" ”

Ling Canglang was silent, Yan stared at Ling Canglang straight, and asked word by word: "How did the master know that Chengjiu Liquor would come with me, Oolong Changqing didn't know that Chengjiu Liquor was with me." ”

Ling Canglang's face froze, and he sighed, at this time, a person came from outside the door, it was the wicked heart-destroying child who Mu Qinghong let go, Ling Canglang said slowly: "You can obviously kill him, but you don't, if a man becomes a big thing, he will be ruthless, and a thought of a woman's kindness will make you lose everything." ”

"The master taught me that I should indeed kill him." Yan Ting sneered, and continued: "Since the master already knows that we are coming, I don't know what the master plans to do?" ”

"What do you want me to do?" Ling Canglang asked rhetorically.

"Hand over Hai Yichuan to me, don't worry about other things, don't ask, just because I've never been here."

"What about handing him over to you?" Ling Canglang was already a little displeased, and slapped his hand heavily on the table: "Do you understand, what are you facing?" ”

"Of course I do."

"You don't understand."

Ling Canglang clapped his hands, Heartbreaker retreated, and a woman holding a box appeared outside the door, Yan Ting only glanced at her, and suddenly felt a little dizzy from the leader.

This woman is Xiaocui, the maid of Baihualou.

Ling Canglang caught Yan Ting's strange appearance and said, "You must not have thought that this little girl you thought was just naughty would be the person who was placed next to Dugu Xiaoying." ”

Yan Ting showed a wry smile, he really didn't expect it, but what was in the wooden box in Xiaocui's arms?

Ling Canglang gave Xiao Cui a look, and Xiao Cui stepped forward to open the wooden box, which contained a bloody human head.

Mo Yuzhu, known as the son of Yuzhu, saved Yan Ting that day, but he gave his life because of it.

"He thought he could hide, but it was useless wherever he hid." Ling Canglang motioned for Xiao Cui to step back and said to Yan Ting: "The Blood Shadow Gate is not just a murderous organization, you think you know enough, but you still know a lot. ”
