Chapter Ninety-Nine: Rushing to the White Mountain Faction
The northern remote area is steep and winding, and a white river lies across the mountains. The morning light is faint, the tide on both sides of the bank is flat, and a flat boat is hanging high, wandering on the river by the breeze. Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at both sides, the mountains and forests are like ink, and the pines are green and the water is white.
"Hey, what do you want?" Seeing Mo Cong standing at the bow of the boat, his eyes glazed, Liu Yun stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and then smiled: "I guess you must be thinking about Chu Ci." Don't worry, the two masters of Poison Longzhi and Huangfu Gongzi will escort her, she will be fine, and when we finish dealing with this matter, we will go to the Yunzhong faction to join them immediately."
Hearing this, Mo Cong took a breath of the moist air with the smell of fish on the river, turned to look at Liu Yun, and said, "Miss Nangong, am I so obscene in your heart?"
Seeing Mo Cong's melancholy face, a pair of sultry eyes staring at him, Liu Yun twitched his upturned nose, his eyes were a little flustered, he hurriedly turned his face to look at the peaks on both sides of the strait, and muttered: "What else can you think when you are stupid?" Since Mo Cong recognized his identity, Liu Yun has restrained a lot, and he no longer dares to lose his temper, and Miss Nangong's heart is no longer cranky.
"I'm thinking that Mu Chuntang has been wiped out, what kind of force is so rampant that they dare to openly challenge several major martial arts families, even my aunt and head Yun and your father are helpless. ”
After speaking, Mo Cong fell into deep thought again. According to Mrs. Lan, in the past few months, there have been a series of bloody cases in the Wulin Continent, with some small sects losing their disciples and serious ones being wiped out. Encouraged by certain forces, many sects have confronted the imperial court and threatened to abdicate the emperor, which is clearly a provocation to several sects in the Wulin Continent that strongly support the imperial family. The Wulin Continent, which was originally a political and human, inexplicably fell into a crisis of being destroyed, which made people panic.
"We have to investigate this matter slowly, you don't have to be in a hurry, there will always be a clue," Liu Yun said, suddenly frowned and looked at the river bank, and said in astonishment: "Mo Cong, look at it!"
At this time, the mountains on both sides of the river have gradually become low, and the vast river waves have sent the boats into the endless wilderness. The view from both sides of the strait was broad, but Liu Yun suddenly saw wolf smoke rising from a small village along the coast, and the trees and houses in the village turned into scorched earth.
"Oh no!" Mo Cong's heart sank, but the scene in the small village in front of him was very similar to the scene he saw in the inn that day.
"Could it be that the wolf did it, but the wolf is dead!" Mo Cong thought to himself, and hurriedly said: "The boatman docks and stops the boat, Liu Yun, let's go over and take a look!" "Hey, it's useless!" The old boatman shook the sculls in his hand unhurriedly, raised his eyes to look at the village on the shore, his face was also a little depressed, and sighed: "Recently, such things have often happened, children don't meddle in their affairs, it's important to save their lives!" After speaking, he sang a fishing song, and the boat flew down the river and moved forward.
"But"
"Don't say it, even if we go, the village has already been destroyed, and the dead can't speak, what clues can we find! Let's go to the Baishan faction first to investigate the things there and find out the real culprit behind the scenes." ”
"Okay!" Mo Cong felt that Liu Yun's words were reasonable, but in his heart he felt sad for those who died tragically, so he only nodded slightly.
The boat sailed down the river and in the evening it sailed into the docks of a city. Stopping the boat and docking, Mo Cong and Liu Yun paid the fare, went out of the city and rushed all the way to Baiyun Town, walking on the official road, and could see a green mountain peak in the distance.
"It's Baiyun Town in front," Liu Yun raised his eyes and looked at a plaque on the city gate, then looked at the sky, and said to Mo Cong: "Mo Cong, it seems that there is still a long way to go from the Baishan Sect here, why don't we stay in the town for a night first, and hire a car early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay!" Mo Cong nodded and agreed, after a few years, he had already thoroughly understood Liu Yun's temperament, and what he said just now sounded like a negotiable tone, if he really insisted on going down with her, Liu Yun would give in, but he would not have a good face along the way.
Although Baiyun Town is small but densely populated, the streets are still full of pedestrians at night, but it is also very lively.
"Mo Cong, I think that store is good, why don't we go to his house to live!"
"Well, you can go wherever you say!" Looking in the direction Liu Yun pointed, the small shop had a spacious façade and looked clean and tidy, so Mo Cong nodded.
"Why are you so obedient today?" Liu Yun looked suspicious, looked Mo Cong up and down, the person she was familiar with, but her temperament had changed slightly.
"I have to do it if I'm disobedient, who is angry with you all day long!" Mo Cong thought in his heart, and smiled at Liu Yun: "What else can I say if you are so smart?"
"Really?" Liu Yun raised a pair of thin eyebrows, but he didn't find any clues on Mo Cong's face, stepped forward and hugged Mo Cong's arm, and said with a smile: "Then let's go!" The two didn't care.
Just took two steps, but someone patted Mo Cong on the shoulder behind his back, with Mo Cong's perception ability, he knew that the person who patted him was not malicious, so he glanced back. A strong man in his eyes, with a dark face and a smile in his mouth, a man next to the strong man is not tall, wearing a leopard print hat, and a pair of tungsten iron guns pinned to his back, and he is now bargaining with street vendors. Seeing this, Mo Cong was stunned.
"Big brother, big brother!" The strong man looked at Mo Cong, patted the little man, and motioned for him to look back at Mo Cong, and the man shook his hand impatiently.
"What's the hurry, I'll talk to him" Before he finished speaking, the man turned around and suddenly saw Mo Cong, and said in amazement: "My mother, this is, is this Brother Mo Cong?"
"Brother Wolf Warrior, Brother Tiger Slayer, it's really you!" Mo Cong was also surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the hands of the two, but he didn't expect to meet acquaintances in a foreign land......
"It's like a fake!" said the Tiger Slayer laughed.
"Wow! they've grown so tall," the wolf raised his eyes to look at Mo Cong, his eyes were full of joy, and he saw the sword behind Mo Cong, and saw that it was not an ordinary blade, so he smiled and said: "I want to come to this martial arts cultivation is not low, famous teachers produce high apprentices, Brother Mo Cong, I and your tiger killer brother are still talking about you, I heard that you won a gold medal in the Martial God Temple?"
"That's all in the past, you two big brothers haven't changed at all, and you're still so majestic, but, why are you here?" Mo Conghu asked.
"My brother is really good at talking, and our brothers are old. Haha!" After speaking, the wolf warrior smiled again: "Brother, you forgot!
"Oops!" Mo Cong suddenly remembered that the wolf warrior and the tiger killer were local hunters, and even patted his head, shook his head and smiled: "Forgive! Forgive! I forgot, so I have to pay a good visit to the two big brothers, haha!"
"No need to pay a visit!" "If it weren't for Brother Mo Cong's intercession for me, my life would be gone, since I have been so fortunate for a few days, our brothers and sons can do their best to be landlords, don't talk about it here, let's find a place to drink two cups." As he spoke, he stepped forward to drag Mo Cong, who was as enthusiastic as a brother, but he didn't see Liu Yun standing next to Mo Cong.
Liu Yun was in a fog on the side, but the girl also guessed a few points between the words, but her face was a little disappointed, and she was silent on the side.
The wolf warrior hurriedly patted the tiger killer, and said, "Don't you see that there is a young lady here?" After speaking, the wolf warrior glanced at Liu Yun lightly, and asked with a smile: "Brother Mo Cong, dare to ask this girl is"
Mo Cong just wanted to introduce, Liu Yun took a step forward, arched his hand towards the wolf warrior and the tiger killer, and said with a light smile: "The little woman has seen the two eldest brothers, and the little woman is not Mo Cong's fiancée." ”
"Huh!" Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, and they were shocked for a long time before sighing: "Brother Mo Cong is really eye-catching, the girl looks like a fairy, I don't know what school it is?"
"She, there is no door and no faction! wandering the rivers and lakes, I will accept it when I meet her on the road!" Mo Cong said with a smile.
"Hahaha! Brother Mo Cong is really good at laughing, even with this young lady's attire, he is definitely not a wanderer, since it is inconvenient for my brother to speak, I don't ask, let's go, let's drink!"
Mo Cong was afraid that the wolf would think too much, so he whispered in his ear: "Big brother, this is Miss Nangong of the Nangong family!"
"What? Nangong" The wolf warrior gasped, immediately glanced at Liu Yun, and exclaimed: "Don't say it, I can't afford your eldest brother!"
"What are you muttering about?" asked the Tiger Slayer in a rough voice.
"It's none of your business, lead the way!" Wolf said with a smile.
"Good words don't betray people, and there are no good words behind people, hum!"
Looking at the tiger killer, a big man with round waist and broad arms was as angry as a child, and several people burst into laughter.
The two brothers led Mo Cong and Liu Yun to a rather high-end restaurant in the town, and as soon as they entered the door, Mo Cong glanced at the drinkers in the house, all of them were red, and the smell of wine was smoky, only a man and a woman at the window only bowed their heads to eat, silent. Mo Cong took a closer look at them, the man was handsome, with a long sword at his waist, and the girl was dressed in a green shirt, with beautiful eyebrows, a pretty face, and a little cherry lips that were extremely bright. Seeing that the long swords carried by the two of them had similar effects, Mo Cong expected that the two of them must be from the same family, and they looked like locals, but they didn't know why the two of them came out to eat, but they didn't eat in the sect.
Mo Cong didn't want to think about it, Wolf Warrior and Tiger Killer pulled the two of them and sat down in a single room. Although the wolf warrior and the tiger killer are rough people, they are bold, and they are also grateful to Mo Cong and have respect. Therefore, at the banquet, the glass was pushed to change the lamp, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Knowing that Mo Cong and Liu Yun are not strong enough to drink, the two of them are not reluctant, they just chat while drinking, and they have not seen each other for many years.
"Two big brothers, there have been a series of bloody cases in the rivers and lakes recently, I don't know if the two big brothers have heard of it?" Mo Cong asked.
"Brother, speak quietly!" Hearing this, the wolf warrior seemed to be out of the body, and lowered his voice and said: "There have been murders in various places for several months, which has put everyone in danger in the big and small sects, and now no one dares to talk about it, it is said that the head of the Baishan faction also received a letter recently, ordering him to open the mountain and surrender within half a month, otherwise he will be destroyed!"
"Surrender?" Liu Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Where are you going to surrender?"
"Let's just say yes, even if you want to sacrifice the mountain gate, there must be a master, isn't this a clear provocation," the wolf warrior lowered his voice again: "However, I can't believe it, when the time comes, if you don't follow him, someone will really come to destroy the door, and now many small sects in the north are so confused and destroyed, this Baishan faction is a well-known local sect! This time I don't know if I can escape this catastrophe." ”
"Don't hide it from the two eldest brothers, this time Liu Yun and I came to secretly investigate this matter on the orders of the Poison Dragon Mansion. ”
"Just the two of you?" said Wolf Warrior with a frown, obviously he was worried about the strength of Mo Cong and Liu Yun.
"Ha! How can it, this time Liu Yun and I will take the water road, and the other Poison Dragon Mansion Brigade will take the dry road. Mo Cong replied.
"In this way, I can rest assured, if my brother needs help, it is incumbent on me and you to kill the tiger. ”
"I don't dare to bother the two big brothers for the time being. ”
Mo Cong just said casually, but he didn't want to kill the tiger and glared at the tiger and said: "Brother, I'm not happy if you want to say this, I can't help anything else, at least our brother can show you the way!"
Looking at Mo Cong's slightly embarrassed face, Liu Yun smiled: "I really have something to ask the two eldest brothers, when we came, we saw that many small villages along the way were destroyed, I don't know what happened!"
"Miss Liu Yun, what you said is not the same thing as the White Mountain Sect, it's another!" Wolf Warrior smiled casually.
"Another incident?" Hearing this, Mo Cong and Liu Yun were even more surprised, thinking that this matter was getting more and more complicated.
"Ahh
"Immortals?" Mo Cong and Liu Yun looked at each other, as people who practiced martial arts, the two of them were not very interested in the immortals.
"I know you don't believe it," the wolf smiled weirdly, as if he knew a big secret, and said mysteriously: "A year ago, a group of Taoist priests came to Baiyun Town, and that group of people came to Dao Bone Immortal Wind one by one, because they are the ancestors, they are simply living immortals!
"Oh, and such a thing?" Mo Cong and Liu Yun were surprised, but there were some doubts on their faces.
"It's indeed a miracle," seeing that Mo Cong and Liu Yun were a little unconvinced, and said to the tiger: "Brother, Miss Liu Yun, don't believe it, originally as a person who practices martial arts, my eldest brother and I don't believe in any immortals, but guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Haha!" "I won't tell you anything, we have a direct brother, and the old couple is over forty years old, and the family has some property, and life is still passable, but there is one thing, the two of them have no children under their knees." At first, I also heard that the patriarch could ask for a son for others, but I didn't believe it, and I couldn't stand the persuasion of my neighbors, so I went. After speaking, the tiger slayer looked at the wolf warrior, "Yes, big brother!"
"That's it, that's it, our brothers and sons went to their house to drink full moon wine last month!" Wolf Warrior laughed busily.
Seeing his brother testifying to himself on the side, the tiger killer became more and more proud, and he also had a few glasses of strong wine, and he lost his sense of proportion when he spoke, stared at Mo Cong and Liu Yun with round eyes, looked at Mo Cong and Liu Yun, and grinned: "Brother Mo Cong, if Miss Liu Yun can't give you a son in the future, you might as well go to the ancestor to ask for it, it's very effective!"
Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang's cheeks turned crimson, and she had no choice but to know that the tiger killer was a rough man, and it was also a good intention to say this, so she only twisted her pretty face to the side. Mo Cong's face was even more miserable. For a while, the atmosphere at the banquet was a little awkward.
"Brother Mo Cong, don't listen to his nonsense, come, drink!" The wolf warrior smiled all over his face, and hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine bowl to break the embarrassing scene, but he was happy for a while and drank a few more glasses, and then he spoke out of tune, glanced at Liu Yun, and said with a smile: "Just by virtue of Miss Nangong's appearance and figure, it is a good material for giving birth to a son" As soon as the words came out, the wolf warrior didn't mean that he didn't speak properly, he was stunned for a moment, and grinned: "What I said, I'll punish myself first!"
Liu Yun's face was red to his neck, and he was ashamed and annoyed in his heart, but it was not good to meet for the first time, so he only lowered his head and pursed his lips helplessly, but he felt that the two brothers in front of him were interesting.
Seeing Liu Yunfen's face shy, hanging his head and saying nothing, Mo Cong swallowed bitterness in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "The two eldest brothers are very right, I really have to go and worship when I have time in the future, you say yes, my wife." ”
Hearing this, Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Mo Cong for a moment, pursed his lips and smiled: "I think this matter is not as simple as the two eldest brothers said, if it is really a fairy, then how do you say that those destroyed small villages along the way should be explained?
"Uh, this"
After listening to Liu Yun's words, the two brothers of the wolf and tiger were speechless for a while, and they didn't know how to answer.
"Yes, two big brothers, how to explain those small villages that were destroyed along the way!" Mo Cong asked.
"Ah" The wolf hesitated for a long time, and said helplessly: "If you want to say this fairy, everything is good, but there is one thing, every full moon night must be offered a woman with good appearance and not out of the pavilion, which village is the turn, if the village does not offer, it will provoke the wrath of the gods, and it will encounter a thunderous disaster." At first, no one believed it, but then there were several incidents, and people believed it. ”
"That's the case!" Mo Cong secretly summed up, and couldn't help but question the so-called immortal in his heart.
"It seems that the fairy is quite!" Liu Yun smiled disdainfully.
"Alas!" Hearing this, the wolf warrior suddenly looked terrified, and lowered his voice and said: "Miss Liu Yun, don't say that, that immortal is vast and omniscient, and you can't be disrespectful to it!"
"Yes, yes, yes, but don't talk nonsense!" Even the tiger, who claimed to be not afraid of the sky, waved his hand again and again, and his voice was as low as a fly and a mosquito.
"Oh!" Looking at the appearance of the two brothers, Liu Yun smiled and asked, "Where is the girl going?"
"Hmm-" The wolf thought for a while and said, "But as soon as the village gets the notice, it will choose a girl before the full moon, tie her hands and feet and send it to the head of the village, and everyone will leave in the middle of the night, and no one can look back, saying that there is a messenger from the god king to take it away!"
"What kind of messenger of the god king, I think there are people who are making trouble, why don't you bring more men and horses to ambush them in advance, and catch them when the time comes?" Mo Cong wondered.
"Oh, brother, if you want to say that, I'll tell you! This thing is really quite evil, do you think that those of us who practice martial arts can believe that, a few times I brought a lot of people to ambush, I want to see what is going on, but, don't you think it's strange? In the middle of the night, the ambush place suddenly changed, what kind of sea, flames you can't get out anyway, and many people have died for this matter!" As he spoke, the wolf warrior immediately showed embarrassment on his face, and said with a sneer: " To tell you the truth, my brother and I went with us, and in the middle of the night, we waited for someone to come and fetch the girl, but guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Originally, the ambush at the head of the village was good, hey, suddenly the sky was full of dark clouds, there was an ocean in front of me, there was a huge thunder in the sky, and a few evil beasts came to catch us, fortunately, our brothers ran fast, and finally survived, but as soon as they came out, there were barren mountains and mountains in front of them, and later I learned that the mountain was hundreds of miles away from the small village where the ambush was ambushed, you say it's strange! I don't believe that this god can't do it, you say yes!"
"That's it, that's it!
Looking at the expressions of the two brothers, they already believed in the gods. However, Mo Cong and Liu Yun had a number in their hearts, and the two glanced at each other and nodded silently.
"It seems that this immortal is still quite powerful, but I don't know where I am!" Liu Yun smiled slightly.
"That's it! Don't mention it, drink!" "The tiger slayer shook off his arms and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, which made Mo Cong and Liu Yun stunned for a while.
The two of them had just picked up their wine glasses and wanted to take a sip when they suddenly heard a noise downstairs.
