130, the ancient city of Xuzhou

With their amazing physical strength, perseverance and passion for revenge, they traveled all the way through Bianshui, Lankao, Minquan, Shangzhou, Yucheng, Dangshan, Xiaoxian, Tongshan, and Jiuli Mountain, and finally at noon the next day, that is, on May 14, the six people entered Gupeng Xuzhou.

It's the midsummer season of May. The scorching sun at noon on this day was still so vicious, so violent, the sun was so hot that his body was hot, and his head was tarry. Not to mention the people in the city, even the yellow earth in this ancient city was evaporated by the scorching sun, making people dare not stay longer, and even a crawling ant did not want to find it. Of course, the "Six Heroes of Shudong", a sweaty horse that has been exposed to wind and food, is also difficult to endure this stuffy and abnormal world. However, horses are horses after all, they have a mediocre and tame character, and they are always willing to live under the crotch of others and become the faithful companion of their masters.

At this time, the ancient city of Xuzhou, although it was in full swing, but when the "Six Heroes of Eastern Shu" first came here, they still inevitably had a distant thought about this ancient city. They know in their hearts that since ancient times, Xuzhou has been one of the nine states in China. This city is strangles Qilu in the north, Pingjianghuai in the south, the Yellow Sea in the east, the Central Plains in the west, the Yellow River flows through the urban area, the Weishan Lake in the north, and the Grand Canal runs through the whole territory in the north, and has the reputation of "the thoroughfare of the five provinces" since ancient times. It is the main road of transportation by land and water, and it is a battleground for soldiers in all dynasties. Back then, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu rebelled from his uncle Xiang Liang and defeated the main force of the Qin army in the Battle of Julu. Later, it was called the overlord of Western Chu, and the capital was Pengcheng, which is Xuzhou. Later, in the battle of Chu and Han, this generation of heroic soldiers was defeated and killed the Wujiang River, which made everyone in the world sigh for this heroic hero! When it comes to the period of the Three Kingdoms, there is a legendary story of "Three Lets of Xuzhou" that has been passed down to this day. The six of them remembered while walking, and before they knew it, they had passed through the Yellow Building and the Swallow Building, and entered between the Xiang Yu Horse Stage, the Huazu Temple (i.e., the Huatuo Temple) and the Fan Zengtu Tomb.

At this moment, the six horses under the crotch of the "Six Heroes of Shudong" are still tirelessly moving heavy steps for their masters. They seem to have already understood: "The master has been wandering around for the past few days, and must be a hundred times more tired than us!" And the masters are all chivalrous heroes, and their business is also our business, which is a murderous martial arts poisoning! Who is so vicious? Things are so fast and endless? When will the legs and hooves of our pursuit rest? …… Come to think of it, it's up to the master to decide. Now, whether we are tired and tired, we have to run to the last breath to find vendetta for our master. Even if it is a sea of fire under the knife mountain, or even broken bones, it will not hesitate! ”

However, the psychological world of animals is not a taste in the heart, and humans have not really explored it. This is buried deep in the meninges of this horse, and the "Six Heroes of Shudong" don't know at all! They only know that the crotch ride is tired and embarrassed, and they are not energetic! However, they must rush to this point, and most of all, they want to know as soon as possible who is responsible for this heinous poisoning! They must seek the root of the matter in order to show the world. However, at this moment, the concerns of the six of them seemed to be fading, so much so that they seeped into their physical and mental fatigue! They all understand that in the face of the present, in the face of reality, what is the use of worrying and being irritable? Only calm down, treat it calmly, go your own way in silence, and wait for time and space to break through the shackles of all troubles and wash away all the dark facts; The mountains are high and the water is small, the water falls out, and one day the clouds will open and the fog will disperse, and the "sun" will be broken! ”

However, now the Jiao Yang on the head of the "Six Heroes of Shudong" is not the "sun"! Because, "Jiao Yang" can't replace "Covering the Sun", "Jiao Yang" will make people irritable, feet and legs messy, and "Covering the Sun" will make people feel dull in their hearts and narrow in the sky! Only the gentle sunshine will make people feel infinitely vibrant.

The "Six Heroes of Shudong" are no longer resentful of this "Jiaoyang". They believe that there is no change in reality, especially this thing that "cannot reach the sky and the earth", and can only be left to nature, allowing the fire, light and heat, wind and clouds, thunder and lightning, rain and fog, frost and snow and dew between heaven and earth to stir up the "ups and downs", the deep water and the sea of swords and fires in this world; Moreover, this world has long been full of resentment, grievances, hatreds, misunderstandings, deception, cunning, and poisoning...... They want to "cut off" this clueless "resentment", but they can only rely on their only strength to modulate internally and externally, hoping to stop the spread of this "resentment"!

At this time, the six of them all slowed down at the northwest foot of a green tree and green mountain, which was not too high, and it was extremely far as the eye could see! They frowned and squinted their eyes to look at the top of the mountain, only to see the green cypress and green pines in the mountain, among which there were shadows and sparse pedestrians; On the top of the mountain forest, a corniced pavilion was half-covered and half-visible, giving the six of them a feeling of nothingness! Looking at the long ridge of the mountain, there seems to be a cloud hanging over it! The six of them couldn't help but forget about themselves, forget the fatigue on their bodies, and couldn't help nodding and secretly praised: "What a summer retreat in the world!" There must be a lot of people in it who are taking a break from the heat. Wouldn't it be nice if we could go into the mountains and enjoy it! ”

So, the "Six Heroes of Shudong" looked at the foot of the mountain from top to bottom, only to see a boulder engraved with three glittering red characters - Yunlong Mountain. It was only then that they realized that they had come to the Cloud Dragon Mountain, which resembled a nine-section cloud dragon. The so-called "clouds from the dragon, wind from the tiger; The gods return to the temple, the ghosts return to the grave, and the demons and monsters return to the mountains and forests! "This mountain can be seen! Legend has it that Lu Pheasant saw that there was a cloud in this mountain, and the image was like a dragon, so he found Liu Bang, the true dragon son hidden in the mountain forest. There is a saying that "the mountain is not high, but the immortal is famous; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. "Since this legend of these nine festivals of Yunlong Mountain, it is even more famous all over the world, and it is a powerful earthquake in the rivers and lakes!

"What a Sleeping Dragon in the Clouds! It must be a cool place! Ouyang Qingfeng shook his big white iron fan.

At this time, the "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng still looked at the mountains and forests and said, "Brothers! We shuttle south from this mountain forest, and we can escape the summer and enjoy the cool on a summer day! Would you like to? ”

When everyone heard this, they were right in the middle of it, how could they be unwilling? All nodded in agreement.

However, "Black Swallow Drill Sky" Zhang Yunhai thought a little and said, "But can we lead the horse through this mountain forest?" ”

"How not! There must be a way before the horse reaches the mountain! Huang Shiying said impatiently.

"Good! Let's go into the mountains! Wu Tianba first dismounted and said, "There is a saying that 'wise people love water, and benevolent people love mountains.'" We can also see the scenery of the mountains and waters, why not? ”

"As the old saying goes, 'The mediocre are idle, the wise are worried, and the incompetent have nothing to worry about.'" Wouldn't it be idle and debauched for us to visit Yunlong Mountain today? Sun Kexing was worried.

Then all the people dismounted. Ye Jinfeng heard what the fifth brother said, turned back to him and said, "Fifth brother! I understand your feelings! However, since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the sky is self-exalted, the earth is self-exalted, and the water is self-exalted', and we are not wise people now, let alone mediocre, incompetent, or benevolent! Why? Just because we traveled for many days, we couldn't catch the murderer, but we were always led by his nose and ran! We're stupid! In Songshan, we almost caught him, but let him escape! Is this really our incompetence? No! By no means! It's not that I'm incompetent, it's that the thief is too cunning, so he got away with it! There will come a time when this cunning and sinister creature will fall at our feet! ”

While listening to the eldest brother's story, the five of them led their horses up the stone steps at the bottom of the hillside!

At this time, Sun Kexing said silently: "Not bad! What the eldest brother said is all our inner loyalty! It's not that we're incompetent, we've failed repeatedly, and we're not going to give up. Chivalry has always been our samurai's way! ”

"When you catch him, you must ask what happened! Why did he do such a rebellious and unreasonable act? Whom? What's the intention? The more Ouyang Qingfeng spoke, the more angry he became, and he closed the iron fan with a "flutter"!

At this time, Wu Tianba immediately said: "Big brother once had a dream that the killer was a very big master in a neighboring country!" I think the killer must be from the Western Regions! ”

"How can the second brother see it?" Ye Jinfeng hurriedly asked Wu Tianba.

"Because I not only tried his swordsmanship, but also directly competed with him with internal strength! He has a vicious skill palm - Mo Nan Jinsha (sand) palm! ”

"Mo Nan Golden Sand Palm! It is the ancestral Jinsha Blood Seal Technique of the Nasa family! Why is the second brother only talking about it now? Ouyang Qingfeng couldn't help but exclaim.

"Alas! Look how busy things have been in the past few days! I didn't want to tell you until today! Wu Tianba said with a slight sense of resignation.

"It's okay! It's good to know that he will be Mo Nan Jinsha palm! I think he's from the kingdom of Jerod! Ye Jinfeng reasoned.

"Highly likely!" Ouyang Qingfeng deeply agreed, closed the iron fan, and said, "The people of the Yelu clan have always had grievances with our Central Plains, and they have always been eyeing our Central Plains and have ambitions to annex the Central Plains!" ”

"Ouch! Much cooler! Huang Shiying suddenly pointed to the words on a big rock in the forest and said, "This was originally called Huang Maogang!" Could it be that my Huang family's hut is here? ”

Hearing this, Ye Jinfeng immediately changed his tone and said, "Okay! Let's not talk about these nerve-wracking things for now! Go fast! ”

After saying that, the six of them led the horses to speed up the pace! However, they didn't go far before they had to slow down. The steps under your feet are getting higher and higher, and they are getting harder and harder to walk. However, compared with the Bashu mountains and rivers they once walked, this mountain is several times easier to walk, and it is like a steady march and a climb.

"The town is full of stories and joy. If you come to a small town, you will gain a lot. It looks like a painting, but it sounds like a song; The realm of life is true, good, and beautiful, which has been included here; Let's talk, let's talk, the story of the town is really good! Invite your friends to come and be a guest! ”

"Huh?! This song is pretty good! Which woman is singing? Huang Shiying couldn't help but exclaim.

As the song came, everyone couldn't help but raise their eyes to look, only to see a woman holding the qin on the edge of the stone cliff in front of them stroking the qin and singing this little song.

"Rare! A beautiful golden song in heaven and earth. You can hear this intoxicating song here, which can really be described as a relief from sorrow! ”

Soon, the song has gradually left people, like a dream, gently weaving, drifting, and disappearing in the Yunlong Mountain Forest...... However, what the six of them, especially Ye Jinfeng, never expected was that this woman who was stroking the qin and singing was actually the eldest daughter of his uncle Ye Guobin, Yelia, who was his lobby sister and the wife of Yanzhou Assassin Shi Wei Chizhou! Not long after the six of them passed her and went up the mountain, the mysterious Yelia girl also passed away!

At this time, I saw that Sun Kexing was weak and said: "I was so hot in the city just now, I don't want to eat and drink at all!" It's cool! But I feel hungry in my belly! ”

"Haha! I'm talking about the fifth brother! Zhang Yunhai continued, "When you come to such a refreshing summer resort, what does it matter if you are hungry?" ”

"Fourth brother! There is a saying that 'people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic'! You don't eat! We're going to eat it later! Wu Tianba said jokingly.
