Chapter 20 Fierce Soldiers
That night, everyone was ready, and the next day before dawn everyone gathered in front of the council hall to prepare to descend the mountain.
"Zhu Yu, Sister Ling'er, when you go, you must pay attention to safety, I will wait for you to return victorious." Zhang Bei's parents had not recovered from their injuries and wanted to stay in the mountains to take care of their parents, so he got up early to send Zhu Yu and others.
"We'll be back safely, and you'll have to take care of yourself and your parents." Lan Ling'er took Zhang Bei's hand and said with concern.
After everyone went down to the foot of the mountain, in order to prevent arousing the suspicion of the officers and soldiers, and even more worried about being discovered by the Sun God Sect, Yang Rourou divided the people into three groups, the first group was led by herself with seven or eight leaders of the Tianlong Sect to walk in the front, and the second group was led by Sima Zhen, also seven or eight people, all of whom were Sima Zhen's disciples and the disciples of the second protector Kong Lingyuan, Zhu Yu, Lan Tian, Lan Ling'er, Zhao Li, and Luo Lin, and the five people pressed the formation behind, and the departure time of each group was half an hour.
Horses are the most commonly used means of transportation, because the road is far, in a hurry, Yang Rourou arranged for each person to ride a fast horse on the road, in Tianlong Mountain in the past two years, Zhu Yu has also practiced riding a horse several times, so the horse riding is quite stable.
After Sima Zhen and the others left for about half an hour, Lan Tian took the lead out of the forest, and the five of them followed the official road, beating horses and hurrying.
From Tianlong Mountain to Wudang, it takes seven or eight days to arrive on horseback, five people dare not slack off, all the way, unconsciously, it is noon, several people feel hungry, find a forest, go to the forest to eat dry food and rest.
The five of them were full of food and drink, and each found a tree to rest, while Zhu Yu led the horse out of the woods, where there was a small river, and dense grass grew by the river, and the five horses ran to the river, drank enough water, and then paced to the river and ate the grass.
"Oh, little brother, why are you? A voice sounded behind Zhu Yu, where are you going? Zhu Yu looked back and saw that three people were already standing beside him at some point.
Seeing the visitor, Zhu Yu suddenly shouted happily. "Master Wufeng, Master Wuxin, Master Wusi, why are you and where are you from?"
Master Wuxin squinted at Zhu Yu and said, "I haven't seen you for two years, if you don't call us, I can't even recognize you, how about it, have you learned the Rulai Mighty Vajra Palm?" ”
"I can barely use the Mighty Vajra Palm, but my skills are not enough, I will strengthen my cultivation in the future, Master Wuxin, where are you going now?" Zhu Yu asked.
"Alas, I heard that the Sun God Sect picked my Wudang and killed dozens of my disciples, I'm really angry." Master Windless said angrily.
"This time, Wudang and Liang Zi of the Sun God Sect have become bigger, and if the Sun God Sect is not destroyed, I will not give up without thinking!" Master Wusi said angrily.
Hearing the conversation of several people, Lan Ling'er and the others came over, knowing that the three old men were the masters of Wuxin, Wuxi, and Wufeng, they were naturally very excited, and asked this and that around the three of them.
As he spoke, the topic came to the Great Nether Sutra and the Soul Chaser Witch.
"You have been looking for the Great Nether Sutra and the Soul Chasing Witch for so many years, why haven't you found it, and in that case, why haven't you given up?" Lan Ling'er asked Sansuo.
"The Soul Chasing Witch killed four of our Wudang four, Master of Desireless, my Wudang faction must be finished with her, besides, there are too many martial arts masters in the world who are looking for the Great Netherworld Sutra, and we Wudang also want to get it, so that there will be less strife in the martial arts." Master Wufeng said.
"Are you going to kill the Soul Chaser if you catch her?" Zhu Yu knew that the Soul Chasing Witch was the apprentice of Master Kongkong, and Master Kongkong said that if he caught Qiulin, he would get her to Shaolin to think about it behind closed doors, so he asked this question.
"Of course we want to kill her, it's a hundred, but the empty old man told us to keep alive, I really don't know if he is old and confused." Master Heartless shook his head.
"Whether it's old and confused or not is another matter, but the two of them have the suitability of master and apprentice, and of course the master can't bear to let the apprentice be killed, what's so strange about this." Master Wusi laughed.
"By the way, it's almost time, it's time for us to hit the road." After Master Wufeng finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, followed by Master Wusi and Master Wuxin, and disappeared in an instant.
"Alas, alas, wait for us! Let's go together. Lan Ling'er saw that Master Wufeng said that she was leaving, so she hurriedly shouted, but as soon as she finished speaking, the three of them had already left.
Lan Ling'er shook her hand, shook her head, pouted, and muttered: "A master is a master, and he just doesn't care about others." ”
"Let's go, we'll see you in two hours." After a while, the five of them heard the voice of the Wind Master speaking from the front.
"Hey, how did this voice come from, it stands to reason that the three masters are far away from us, and they shouldn't be able to hear them." Hearing the sound of talking, Luo Lin, who usually doesn't like to talk, asked strangely.
"This is Master Wufeng's thousand-mile sound transmission technique, which can be heard from dozens of miles away, and I heard it in the mountain behind Shaolin Temple." Zhu Yu explained.
Hearing Zhu Yu say this, the four of them couldn't help but sigh, they didn't expect that there would be such exercises in the world, and they were really lonely.
The five men led the horses, rode on and then hurried, and walked out of the woods, in front of which was an open field, scattered with several families, in front of the house and behind the house, planting some wheat and a few crops for the winter, because it was almost winter, and there was no work in the field after the autumn harvest, so there was no one to be seen. The five of them walked further along the way, over a dirt slope, in front of which was a plain with no end in sight, with wasteland and farmland mixed with each other, and there were no scattered houses, only one village, separated by several miles, because it was afternoon, and only occasionally three or two passers-by could be seen on the road, which was in stark contrast to the dense villages.
Walking into the plain, the road became wider, and the five men quickened their speed, and trotted their horses, raising puffs of dust on the road.
"Zhu Yu, sixty or seventy miles ahead, there is a market town, very lively, we will walk for another hour and a half, we can reach before dark, we can only live there tonight." Blue Sky has passed by this plain a few times and is very familiar with this place.
Zhu Yu lived overseas with his parents in a seaside city before he was four years old, but unfortunately he was too young at that time, and now he only has some vague impressions, and he has never been to any town since then.
"Half an hour ago, Master Wufeng said I'll see you in two hours, will they not be able to find us because we are on the main road?" Lan Ling'er asked worriedly.
"I've heard that although the master of Wufeng in the five dang and three suo speaks in one sentence and one sentence in the west, he seems to be wooden, but in fact he is the smartest, he will definitely try to find us, and maybe the three suo are all around us, such as taking a shade on a certain tree!" Zhao Li's words broke Lan Ling'er's worries, but they caused the four of them to look towards the woods against the mountain, as if Sansuo was resting on a tree in the woods.
"Let's go, if we go to the town before dark, we can still walk around the town, after dark, the town will not be fun when the lights are dark." Lan Tian said as he hit the horse hard and walked away.
Seeing this, the four of them were not to be outdone, and quickly urged their horses forward, and after less than an hour and a half, they came to the entrance of a small town.
It is better to say that this is a small town, because the town has a city gate, and there are walls more than three feet high to enclose the town tightly, it should be regarded as a city, but it looks a little smaller than the average city.
The five dismounted and led their horses into the city, where they found that the city was very lively, with street stalls shaving their heads, selling vegetables, meat, and goods, and there were ...... who opened restaurants, inns, pawnshops, and pharmacies.
It was the first time Zhu Yu had seen such a scene, looking around, asking this and that, a strange light appeared in his eyes, he didn't expect that the city would be like this.
In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Lan Tian asked everyone to quickly walk through the street and led the four of them to a courtyard with an inn sign.
Called the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper took the four people to recognize the room, and then led the horse to the backyard to feed, the four of them found their own rooms, went into the room to wash their faces and soak their feet, and rested for a while, and listened to Lan Tian ask the shopkeeper outside the house, and asked which restaurant had delicious food, and the store said three or two, Lan Ling remembered it in his heart, and knocked on the door of Zhu Yu, Zhao Li and Lan Ling'er's room to call everyone out to eat.
