Chapter Seventy-One: Nantianmen
Although the weather has warmed up slightly, the cloudy mountains are still bitterly cold. Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan supported each other, dragging the shrubs on the cliffs, climbing one stone after another, and looking up, there were either peaks reaching into the sky, or trees covering the sky, and I don't know how high it was.
Originally, after the know-it-all rescued Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan back to Jimu Villa to recuperate, he didn't want to let them out of the village anymore. According to the plan of the know-it-all, he really wants his grandson to take over the helm of Jimu Villa.
But Fang Lingyan knew that after Xu Hao and his gang got the treasure map and opened the secret of the treasure, they would definitely go up the mountain to hunt for treasures, and according to Li Rufeng's personality, this matter had already become his responsibility, and he would definitely not let it go, as far as she was concerned, she couldn't let go of this matter now, so she colluded with Feng Yanlang, stole Jimu Villa, and came to Hexi.
It was also a coincidence that I had just arrived in Hexi and heard important news.
It turned out that after Ming Xiang and Xu Hao looked at the treasure map, they knew that the treasure was buried in His Royal Highness Tian Yuan, Paradise Zhai. What is annoying is that Xu Hao actually holds the treasure map and the Xuantie broadsword alone, and does not allow himself to participate. In order to disturb this water, Ming Xiang deliberately released the wind to the rivers and lakes, and repeatedly delayed the time, so that the place where the treasure was buried became an open secret.
When Fang Lingyan and Feng Yanlang heard about the treasure, they immediately ran to the Heavenly Village, and when they arrived at the Sage Hall Village, they learned that someone had already come to the village, so they tied their horses and ran towards the mountain. Soon, I saw Mingxiang and his gang galloping up, and after a while, I saw Xu Hao and Li Dakui and his gang secretly following behind.
Along the way, Mingxiang and his gang slowly walked along the mountain road, while Xu Hao led the rest of the people to follow secretly.
Fang Lingyan and Feng Yanlang didn't dare to follow too closely, so they had to hang far behind, and later found a stream on the side of the road, so they went down to the mountain stream and hid upwards from the stream.
Who knows, not long after, Chen Quanzhong and Huicheng fell into the stream one after another, followed all the way, and saw that Huicheng and Chen Quanzhong seemed to be plotting something.
Walking so slowly, the ditch finally disappeared with the steep mountain, and the two had to follow out, following far behind, slowly climbing along the mountain, approaching the main road where Mingxiang was.
About an hour, Mingxiang and his gang arrived at a mountain platform.
In the forest not far away, Hui Cheng said in a deep voice: "The place where they are is the South Heavenly Gate, there are still ten miles away from the top of the clouds, and it is the most precipitous place under the peak, there is only a flat land in the northeast, and there are still three forks in the road to meet here." ”
On the platform of Nantianmen, there are already a group of people standing or sitting. It turned out that Li Dakui had already led more than a dozen good players to secretly climb the mountain and rock, waiting for Mingxiang at Nantianmen.
As soon as they met, Li Dakui pretended to be panicked and said, "Oh, Ming Gong, I've finally waited for you...... Ignorance...... Have you seen my handsome? ”
Ming Xiang smiled slightly: "What, Master Li Zhai, is your handsome family lost?" These words were full of ridicule, and it was clear that he didn't believe Li Dakui.
"I was about to inform Ming Gong that along the way, we encountered a lot of ambushes, and the marshal ordered us to go up the mountain first, and wait here, since Ming Gong came, my handsome man is not there, what should I do next, and I hope that Ming Gong will make it clear."
Ming Xiang thought about it for a while, but he was still skeptical of Li Dakui's words, so he said: "I have also met some small people along the way, and I don't think they are the opponents of the big handsome, according to my expectations, the big handsome may have reached the top of the clouds."
"Then, according to Ming Gong's opinion, should we wait here or go directly to the top?"
"I don't know if Master Li Zhai has a map?"
Li Dakui shook his head and said, "The map is not here with me, but at Master Huicheng's", and looked carefully behind Mingxiang, but did not see Huicheng.
"Hui Cheng? How could the marshal hand over the map to him. When Ming Xiang heard this, he was quite annoyed.
"Why, didn't you see him?" Li Dakui's face was suddenly full of doubts.
Before, I saw Huicheng join Mingxiang's team at the bottom of the mountain. Originally, according to the strategy of the marshal, it was to let Huicheng take the treasure map and lead Mingxiang to go in front, and find the treasure place first, so that those Jianghu forces attracted by Mingxiang could besiege him, and he would be behind, turning light into darkness. Unexpectedly, Huicheng is gone, in case the treasure map falls into the hands of others, it is really a stealing of chickens and rice.
"Hmph...... That guy can run backwards fast. Ming Zongxia said with disdain.
"Ran away?" Li Dakui was even more surprised, so in this way, Huicheng had other plans. It's hateful, Ming Xiang was attacked by the White Lotus Sect at the foot of the mountain before, could it be that he took the opportunity to escape at that time?
"What's the use of us getting to the top?" Li Dakui couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Mingxiang asked again: "You really don't know where the handsome man went?" ”
"I really don't know." Li Dakui also had to continue to pretend to be confused at this time, thinking that he could only find a chance to meet Xu Hao.
Ming Xiang sighed and said: "In my opinion, I might as well wait to rest here for the time being, first send someone to the top to check and then compose the music, and at the same time, I also ask Master Li Zhai to continue to send people to find the handsome." ”
"It's so good, please ask Ming Gong to make arrangements quickly." Li Dakui hugged his fists.
Ming Xiang called Mingliang and explained a few words, and then saw Mingliang walking towards Duoyunding alone. Li Dakui also summoned a person and explained a few words, and that person was ordered to go to the top of the mountain.
Everyone then sat on the ground and watched the beautiful scenery of the paradise village on this cloudy mountain. Saw:
The dragon rises from the mountainside, and the mountains are stacked into the sky.
A few stubborn stones compete for birds and beasts, and a flowing cloud turns into a fairy bridge.
The flying eagle went straight down 3,000 feet, and the spirit ape jumped half a building high.
The world only knows that Xihua is dangerous, and the mountain is more arrogant.
As he was on the rise, he suddenly heard a singing voice floating from afar. But listen to the song that sings,
Cut the smoke under the dark cloud rock, and send a song on the side of the green vine road.
The lotus wood is long and the mountain trail is winding, and there are many pieces of wet clothes.
unintentionally sang with the flowing water, and sang proudly to soothe Ke.
The sky was dark and the wind couldn't stop, and he returned to the stove and smiled.
The singing came from far and near, and a man was seen carrying a load of firewood out of the fork. Look at the man, who is in his forties, clearly dressed as a woodcutter. The load of newly chopped firewood should have more than 100 catties, but I saw him pick up and walk, but he was as light as a swallow, and there was no sweat stain on his face. From a discerning person's point of view, he must not be an ordinary woodcutter.
With Ming Xiang's cultivation, he naturally would not let go of these details, and when he saw that man approaching, he stood up, and when he carried firewood, he fell down with an unbalanced foot, and grabbed a bundle of firewood behind the man, thinking that if that person was really a master, he would definitely not let someone tear off the firewood.
I never thought that this pull was directly tearing the bundle of firewood to the ground, and the woodcutter also fell because of the fall of a bundle of firewood behind him, and the tip of the burden was unbalanced, and he stumbled forward and fell on the bundle of firewood in front.
Ming Xiang stared at him and said, "This big brother, I'm really embarrassed, I was in a hurry, I tore off your firewood, I didn't hurt it." ”
The woodcutter was not angry, he stood up leisurely, patted the dust on his body and said, "It's okay", and asked casually: "A few guest officers, are you going up the mountain to play?" ”
Ming Xiang said: "Yes, I don't know why my eldest brother is here." ”
"Oh, in the next life, live in this mountain, not far ahead, is the humble house, if you don't dislike it, you can go and rest for a while."
Ming Xiang looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the shape of the mountain there was no different from the other mountains here, and thought to himself that such a majestic and steep mountain would really be inhabited? Isn't it a joke! But seeing this person's expression, it seemed that he had not lied, and his curiosity suddenly rose, and he was indeed a little thirsty at this time, so he said: "I have been climbing the mountain for half a day, and I am indeed a little tired, so I will bother." ”
Ming Xiang turned his head to look at the crowd, and when he saw that there was no objection, he left one person here to wait for Mingming, and led the rest of the people to follow the woodcutter along a path.
