Chapter 46: Ghost Fire Village
The cold wind raised snowflakes and put her down gently, as if she was teasing a woman from a good family. The snow in the mountains is especially heavy, fast, slow-melting, and accumulating.
In the wind and snow, Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan supported each other, holding umbrellas and stepping on three-inch thick snow to trek hard into the mountains. After a while, the footprints behind him were covered with snow again. But there are still traces of these footprints.
Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, wore a mink fur, sat on the chariot and followed the looming footprints. The cloak on his chariot helped him block most of the snowflakes, so that he would not complain about the snow. He watched the snowflakes fall on the heads and bodies of the four strong men who carried the chariots, and suddenly they turned into heat and dissipated, and the little sympathy in his heart for the chariot bearers also dissipated. This day is actually not cold, if there is nothing to do, he is quite willing to enjoy the snow in the Polar Eye Villa, watch the mountain dance silver snake, and the wax statue of Yuanchi. It's just that some things have to be urgent, for example, following these two people down the mountain may find some new clues and new opportunities, although even if he doesn't go down the mountain, the know-it-all and the Zongheng Sect behind him will not let go of this opportunity, but after all, he is only a cooperative relationship with them, and he can't expect others to report everything to him. There are some things that you have to do in person, such as giving grace to the chart, this is for the sake of future generations, don't look at the Ning Wangfu now, I don't know what will happen in the future, he has already seen through these things, you can understand the stories of the dynasties. Fate needs to be changed by itself, you look at this dynasty, isn't that imperial brother the one who changed his fate? He is still young, and there is still a chance, but this opportunity has to wait until after the death of the imperial brother, for this, he knows very well, he will not be stupid enough to compete with this son of heaven on horseback, he will only compare his age, the ability of future generations, and the advantage of being able to contact more civil forces than himself in the rivers and lakes, history will always belong to the person who has the last laugh. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, grabbed the flask and took a sip, the wine was still warm. Thinking about it, since Zhang Yuchu's ascension, the progress of his cultivation seems to have stagnated, and after a while, it is time to go to Longhu Mountain, and the relationship with the new Heavenly Master cannot be broken. However, according to the know-it-all, Tianxia will come east, and if this is the case, the new Heavenly Master Zhang Yuqing is also very likely to go north, so there will be excitement at the foot of Dabie Mountain again.
"Yan'er, do you think they are no longer in Luo Guizhuang?" Feng Yanlang said worriedly as he walked.
"Well, it's possible, but we'll have to go to this place first." Fang Lingyan said, she had an intuition that it was probably not just the two of them who went to Luo Guizhuang, so they had to go earlier. But the snow was too big, and after walking for half a day, they saw that the mountain had been covered with heavy snow in front of them, and people and animals could not pass it, and it was almost dark. Looking to the left, I saw wisps of green smoke rising from the side of a small hill, and I thought that there was a fire on that side, so I helped each other to go there, after all, it was winter, and the roasting fire was also excellent.
The two turned the hillside, but they saw a place overgrown with weeds. The place was quite large, with a few dilapidated houses among the weeds, and the smoke was clearly rising from somewhere in the house.
The two walked to the door and saw that the three words "Ghost Fire Village" were engraved on the door, and the handwriting was sloppy, deep and shallow, crooked, as if someone had carved it with stone. After a brief analysis, the two believed that this should not have been engraved by the owner of Zhuangzi, but by someone to remind or scare others. Although it is called "Ghost Fire", the two of them don't believe him at this time, on this snowy day, the green smoke rising inside is not a ghost fire, right?
I knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered, and I knocked a few more times, but there was still no sound inside. Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan pushed open the door suspiciously, looked left and right, and saw that it was as desolate as outside, with a thick layer of dust falling all over it, cobwebs everywhere, and a trace of cold wind drifting over with the sound of the wind from time to time, which was really a little eerie. After passing through the front hall and passing through the double door, I felt a little warm, and this building was not as messy as the previous one, and from the outside, the green smoke was very likely to rise from here. The two searched by their senses, and finally saw the light of the fire in a well-cleaned room, which turned out to be a fire pit, a fire pit unique to the local area, and a black hook hung from it. The fire inside the stove seems to have been burning for a long time, and several large pieces of wood have been burned and no one has stepped forward. Walked in such a hurry, didn't even put out the fire, not afraid of causing a fire? There is really no morality at all, I don't know which scum did it.
Fang Lingyan was criticizing to his heart's content, when he suddenly heard a sound, several torches flew over, and after the two of them raised their swords, there was no spark, only a few broken bricks fell to the ground.
"It's illusion again, isn't it ......?" A thought flashed through Feng Yanlang's heart, as if he was looking forward to seeing the person who performed the illusion.
"You're scum!" A familiar voice came, and a woman in purple jumped in through the window, followed by a group of people who quickly surrounded her.
"Don ...... Miss Tang...... It's really you. Feng Yanlang stammered and said it, the people here were indeed Tang Sai'er and others from the White Lotus Sect.
"What, miss me? I'm coming to this girl so soon. Tang Sayer said loudly.
"Why are you here?" Feng Yanlang said.
"This is the place where we scum stay, don't you think you've come to the wrong place?"
"Sanniang...... A young man next to Tang Sai'er hurriedly stopped her. I saw that the man looked quite shabby, but he had a heroic spirit, and he was naturally the left protector of the White Lotus Sect, Lin San.
"Third brother, am I wrong?"
Fang Lingyan knew that Tang Sai'er was jealous and deliberately said it to herself, and she didn't want to give in on such a thing, so she said: "I didn't say that you are scumbags, you admit it yourself." ”
"You...... You dare to insult me" Tang Sai'er's face was flushed with anger, but he couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he sent out a long chain and pulled his head out.
Feng Yanlang knew that Tang Sai'er was powerful, so he hurriedly pulled Fang Lingyan away and raised his sword to block it.
Tang Sai'er was even more angry when she saw this, the long chain in her hand danced left and right, and she somehow wrapped the sword in Feng Yanlang's hand with the scabbard and dragged it hard. Feng Yanlang knew that she was ruthless, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly snatched out the Songyun Sword and gave the scabbard to Tang Sai'er.
"Miss Tang, that's not what we meant." Feng Yanlang explained that he really didn't want these two girls to have a grudge.
"Don't you mean you help her? Where have I offended you? Tang Sayer was still very angry.
"You didn't offend us, we owe you, but are you so begging for a favor?" Fang Lingyan thought that she had to be even more unreasonable to deal with unreasonable women, so she suddenly drew her sword and rushed forward.
"Stop arguing." Feng Yanlang stood in the middle, stretched out his hands to separate the two, and looked angry.
Seeing this, Fang Lingyan and Tang Sai'er both quieted down, but the anger in their eyes was not extinguished.
Lin San looked at Feng Yanlang with envy, and suddenly felt that women all looked at their faces, if they talked about status and martial arts cultivation, they were much higher than Feng Yanlang, but they were just not as good-looking as him, which was not as good as his womanhood. These two are also first-class wonderful people, and they actually fought each other for him, not to mention, they can still listen to him consistently when they are angry, it is really a peach blossom that brings ghosts to bed.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, obviously someone was coming, the White Lotus Sect was slightly stunned, and disappeared in an instant, and Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan also hid in a secret room under the greeting of Tang Sai'er and Lin San.
