Chapter 266: Obstacles encountered under Liuding Mountain

After eating the carefully prepared meal, Tae Hao said goodbye to Da Yuxian and his enthusiastic family. He embarked on the journey to Liuding Mountain alone, his figure looked firm and lonely in the afterglow of the sunset, Da Yuxian looked at him, and his heart was full of respect.

Da Yuxian originally planned to send two of his right-hand men to accompany Tai Hao with him, which was both a kind of care and a kind of respect. But Taihao smiled and refused. His smile betrays a sense of determination, and he explains that he would prefer to complete the journey alone. Having an entourage with him would make it more difficult to move forward, and he wanted to travel lightly so that he could reach his destination more smoothly.

Taihao's words were full of wisdom and decisiveness, so that Da Yuxian no longer insisted. He understands and respects Taehao's decision. So, Taihao embarked on a journey to Liuding Mountain alone. His steps are firm and powerful, just as his determination is. With curiosity and anticipation of the unknown, he walked towards the mysterious and powerful mountain.

It took Taihao about an hour to reach Liuding Mountain, which is located on the northeastern border of the Eastern Empire, with winding mountains and peaks. Legend has it that at the top of the mountain, there are six ancient tripods, representing six powerful powers.

The ancient trees in the mountains are towering to the sky, the flowing water is murmuring, and the apes are crying and the birds are singing, just like a fairyland on earth. The mountain is steep and difficult to climb, but it has also left many footprints and legends of the ancients. There is an ancient temple on the mountainside, called "Liuding Temple", which is said to be an ancient temple during the Tongtian Dynasty, and there are six gods enshrined in the temple, representing six kinds of power.

Taihao rode his horse forward, and when he arrived at the foot of Liuding Mountain, he was blocked by an old man. The old man had gray hair, deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes shone with wisdom.

Taihao grabbed the reins of the horse and asked, "Uncle, why are you blocking my way?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "This young man, dare to ask you if you want to go to the top of Liuding Mountain?" ”

Taihao replied: "Exactly, dare to ask the seniors for advice?" ”

The old man continued to smile and said, "You are going to Liuding Mountain, are you thinking about the danger in it?" ”

Tai Hao wondered: "Dangerous? This Liuding Mountain is not Kunwu Mountain, is there also a bandit on this mountain? ”

The old man said meaningfully: "The old man still advises you to leave this place as soon as possible, this is not something that you and other unknown people can go to." ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment and said firmly: "I have a friend who is trapped in the mountains, and I must go and rescue her. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Liuding Mountain is not trivial, the mountain is treacherous, if you go alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect yourself." ”

Tai Hao sneered and responded: "Although I am young, I also think that I have some martial arts and am not afraid of any challenges. ”

The old man smiled faintly and said, "Young man, do you know the origin of Liuding Mountain?" ”

Taihao shook his head.

The old man took a deep breath and said: "Liuding Mountain, originally six peaks, each with an ancient temple on the peak, and then due to the competition for mysterious power, the six peaks collided with each other to form a huge mountain. The six ancient temples were also destroyed as a result. Since then, Liuding Mountain has become a forbidden place in the martial arts. ”

Tai Hao frowned, and pondered: "Martial arts forbidden land? Da Yuxian said that Nian Yu once followed a woman on Liuding Mountain to practice martial arts, since it is a forbidden place for martial arts, why can Nian Yu come here? Thinking of this, Tai Hao couldn't help but ask the old man: "Senior, is there a woman in this mountain?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "The knights on Liuding Mountain are all women, I don't know which one you are looking for?" ”

Tai Hao said: "I don't know what the woman's name is, I only know that she took in an apprentice named Coriander Zhi." ”

When the old man heard the name of Coriander Zhi, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he said angrily: "Young man, please don't inquire more, come with me now!" ”

Taihao asked suspiciously, "Why do I want to go back?" ”

The old man warned, "If you still want to stay here, then don't blame me for being rude. ”

The confrontation between Taihao and the old man immediately became tense. Taihao was dressed in a white robe, and his eyes were sharp and determined. He displayed his unique "Ranger Miracle" and attacked the old man with grace and agility.

The old man just smiled, jumped slightly, and dodged Taihao's attack. He held a wooden staff in his hand and blocked Taihao's sword momentum with precise and powerful movements. His body is flexible, and every movement is just right, showing a deep foundation in martial arts.

Taihao's attack became more and more violent, and his body was dexterous, as if he wanted to disperse the clouds and mist in the mountains. However, the old man seemed unmoved, he observed the Queen Mother's posture with a calm eye, and responded with steady steps and smooth exercises. His wooden staff, like a spirit snake, swirls around Tai Hao, seemingly guiding his attacks while constantly testing his bottom line.

Their fight caused a flurry of leaves from the surrounding trees and birds scattered in the mountains. Their movements are dizzyingly fast, as if they are performing a silent dance. Every attack and defense is just right, showing the strength between them.

Although Tai Hao's exercises are profound, the old man seems to be superior. His body and footwork are strange and clever, often defusing Taihao's attacks at incredible angles. And his wooden staff seemed to be full of life, constantly attacking Taihao's flaws, making him overwhelmed.

This fight lasted for a long time, and although Tai Hao used all his strength, his strength was obviously not enough to deal with the old man. Eventually, he was repelled by the old man's rod and fell to the ground. Despite his defeat, his eyes were not disappointed, but full of love and admiration for martial arts. He looked at the old man and bowed deeply: "I lost, it seems that my martial arts are not so profound, dare to ask the seniors to respect the name?" ”

The old man raised the corners of his mouth lightly, showed a sly smile, and said, "Young man, you don't have to ask the old man's name, but the martial arts you just performed made the old man feel very familiar." Dare to ask what kind of martial arts is this 'Ranger Miraculous Skill'? ”

Tai Hao replied calmly: "The martial arts practiced by the younger generation are called ...... 'Ranger Miracle Skill'. ”

The old man frowned and said: "The old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has never heard of a kind of martial arts in this martial arts called 'Ranger Miracle Skill', but among the martial arts you just now, some are like the "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" practiced by my senior brother, and some are like ......."

When Tai Hao heard the old man mention Master's name, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart. Could it be that this old man is also one of his uncles? He couldn't help but start looking at the old man, trying to find something similar to his master in his body.

Suddenly, a young man rushed towards the old man like a bolt of lightning, shouting loudly: "Mihai, take your life!" This voice exploded in Taihao's ears like spring thunder, making him feel an inexplicable shock.

The man was dressed in a blue robe embroidered with silver moire, as if to tell of his elegance and freedom. The neckline of the robe is made of layers of brocade stacked to create the effect of a stand-up collar, which is not only gorgeous and magnificent, but also gives people the impression of perseverance and courage. Around his waist, he wore a wide belt, on which hung a quaint jade pendant, which shimmered softly in the sunlight and was full of classical charm.

He wears a pair of long black boots at his feet, the front of which is partially turned up, as if to symbolize his vigilance at all times and in all places. He wore a cloak draped over his shoulders, the same color as his robe, both cyan and trimmed with gold trim around the edges, which made him more elegant when he walked.

Behind the man, he hung a long sword diagonally, the scabbard was dark brown, and the hilt was inlaid with a piece of crystal jade, and the scabbard was engraved with some simple patterns, showing the beauty of the ancient style. This sword seemed to be his soul, accompanying him through every road.

When the old man saw the young man coming, he picked up his staff and confronted him. In an instant, the interplay of a sword light and a wooden staff revealed the prelude to a fierce battle. The young man, dressed in a flowing warrior's robe, held a sharp sword, and every movement was full of strength and confidence. And the old man, with a slender posture, white hair fluttering, and a wooden staff in his hand is used with ease, showing the wisdom and experience precipitated by the years.

The young man's swordsmanship was extremely powerful, like a mountain wind, sometimes as fast as a tiger, sometimes as elegant as a swallow. Every time the sword is swung, it carries a force that cannot be ignored, as if it wants to cut all obstacles that stand in front of it. His eyes were sparkling, revealing a determination to move forward.

The old man responded with a wooden staff, and his body was very agile, sometimes using the staff to guide the wind in the mountains, and sometimes using the staff to pluck the branches and leaves in the forest. His wooden staff is like a spiritual snake in his hand, showing wisdom and strategy between attack and defense. The old man's eyes were deep and bright, as if he could perceive all the movements and thoughts of the young man.

Their fight once again broke the tranquility of Liuding Mountain, and the staggering of sword light and wooden staff seemed to draw a vivid battle picture. The surrounding rocks were shaken by their attack, and the air around them seemed to tremble. Tai Hao watched carefully from the side, and couldn't help but admire their wonderful fight, the old man had just fought with Tai Hao, and he had exhausted some of his physical strength, but he didn't expect that he was still full of energy, and Tai Hao couldn't help but be amazed.

But seeing that the young man suddenly jumped in shape, the long sword danced in an arc, rolling up a cloud of snow. The old man's eyes lit up, and the wooden staff instantly turned into a blast of wind, blocking the attack of the young knight. Then the old man counterattacked, and the wooden staff attacked the young man with a strong wind.

The young man's eyes were determined, and with a wave of his long sword, he dissolved the old man's attack. He launched a counterattack in an instant, and the long sword went out to sea like a dragon, stabbing at the old man with a fierce sword aura. The old man retreated, and the wooden staff once again dissolved the young man's attack.

Eventually, the old man and the young man attacked at the same time, their weapons staggering in the air in a dazzling spark. The old man's wooden staff repelled the young man's sword, and the young man's sword slashed through the corner of the old man's clothes.

In the aftermath of the fierce fight, they gasped sharply. Tai Hao hurriedly stepped forward and exclaimed: "The superb martial arts skills of the two are truly breathtaking, I have never seen such an outstanding hero for many years. ”

The young man cast a puzzled look: "Who are you?" Why is it here? Mihai, did you bring it? ”

Mi Hai waved his hand and said: "I don't know him, he, like you, intends to break into Liuding Mountain." ”

Taihao arched his hand and said: "In Xia Taihao, the deputy general of Jiutu City." May I ask the names of the two heroes? ”
