Chapter 35: The Master of the Mountain
The sky was white, and the gray clouds across the sky showed their shadows in the communication line between night and day.
The cold air of the snow-capped mountains always urges the morning breeze in the morning, hanging from the ground to a height of three feet on the ground, but it rolls up and flies into the ethereal.
Maybe it's already the fifth watch, and if it is in the mortal world at this time, except for the diligent hawkers wearing morning dew and carrying a flat pole on the way to the market, and the old and weak watchmen banging gongs everywhere in the streets and alleys, shouting the time in a thick and dull voice, I am afraid there will be no other sound.
There is no crowing rooster in the snow mountain, only three or five rhythmic bells will startle the sleeping people. The horns of the moon in the sky also showed a bleak color, but it was still so large, and after a while, the crescent moon turned cloud-white and became blurred on the line of morning and dusk. But it is time for those who are dedicated to life to get up now.
At this moment, the cherry blossom forest is more transparent than in the night, like a woman dressed in light clothes can easily be glimpsed into the graceful demeanor.
The white-haired rocks in the forest did not make a sound with the arrival of the morning sun, perhaps because they had not yet become monsters, or they had not been enlightened by the masters or destroyed by spiritual spells.
Cherry blossom petals never end up on the path between the trees, on the rocks, on the weeds, but they can't hide the chirping of insects three inches underground. These cries are in harmony with each other, one after another, and in addition to the sound of flower shadows, insect chirping, the breath of the morning lan, the light chirping of branches, and the light cough of a strange woman, this cough has a sense of coquettishness.
Yu Fan judged that it must be a rich lady, she picked up a lantern pasted with white paper, the paper was through the dim candles, and a cherry blossom forest that was reflected before anyone was seen emitted an orange glow. As it became clearer, the woman was about six feet tall and less than seven feet, and her cloak was back in the snow. Hold the sleeve in your hand, hold the lamp in your left hand, and hold the cloak in your right hand to avoid being scratched by the branches.
Her green silk is scattered, her face is slightly hidden, her eyes are slightly cold, and her lips are blushing. Although the appearance was not as sharp as in the Dragon Blood Forest, Yu Fan recognized this as Shen Tuxue at a glance. At first glance, his heart was like a pebble in flowing water, and he was struck by a wave in the middle of the waves, and his eyes became a little straight, and after a few seconds, perhaps he realized that it was undignified to stare at a person like this.
"Brother Shanfuzi. Before she could reach her eyes, the woman took off her cloak and tiptoed on the uneven path under her feet, her posture was a little delicate, which made Yu Fan wonder if she was a Shentu Snow Girl.
The man in front of him saw that the girl had become a little panicked, and while muttering to himself that he should not disturb the young lady, he moved his steps, and came to the woman in an instant. He mixed her with her, like a pair of inseparable lovers.
"Your body is delicate, and your serious injury has not healed, why do you wake up so early, it is better to rest more, and the injury will heal faster. The man named Mountain Master helped her and took the lantern from her hand.
"I couldn't sleep, I heard some noise, and I was afraid that something would be wrong, so I came to take a look. ”
Yu Fan and his entourage also came to the two of them, and before they could salute, Ling Zha recklessly stepped forward to greet him: "Miss Shen, we have met before, you forgot, you ...... at the beginning" Before he finished speaking, Yu Fan kicked him in the ass and said: "What Miss Shen, this is Miss Shentu, she was so reckless as soon as she came up." ”
Shen Tuxue saw the three of them coming with a surprised look on her face, and she thought to herself, how did they find such a place. But before she could speak, the mountain master told her what had happened, and with her ability to understand, she was soon relieved.
Follow the cherry blossom forest to a barrage, the rocks on the stone pile up like there is an order, there is a small pavilion on it, about more than one acre, there is a plaque on this small pavilion, the name is Luoying Pavilion, and the prosperity of this cherry blossom forest is extremely commensurate.
To the door, Yu Fan found that the furnishings inside were extremely simple, there were three or five tables, there were painted windows, and the wing room was set on the side, if you opened the window, you could see the endless waves of cherry blossoms rolling in the air.
"This is where my young lady lives, and I think that the last time I rescued her from that person, she could only be placed in such a humble place, and I think it is really a disappointment to the master's trust. After Master Shan guided Yu Fan and his gang to come, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At this time, Shen Tuxue went back to sleep in the wing room because she was sleepy in the morning again, or because she didn't know etiquette.
"My young lady's new injury has not healed, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
"I know that last time my brother was taken captive by the man you mentioned, he was rough and thick-skinned, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. But then again, doesn't this girl have a bunch of men? Why didn't you see it, you should have rescued her too. ”
"What to rescue, I don't have enough mental strength to save Miss alone, not to mention others, those people are trained by me, I guess they won't recruit my location, if they do, it's not a pity to die. ”
With that, the mountain master hung a black clay pot in the center of the hall, and the boiling water in the pot rushed out of the spout, flowing out of the pale yellow and fragrant liquid. He took out a few pairs of smoked yellow bamboo tea sets from a few clicks, poured half of them, and pushed them to Yu Fan and his party to drink.
"This can be regarded as a humble room tea, and I am ashamed to say it. Master Shan smiled bitterly.
"Tea is good tea, the room is not a bad room, everything is worthy of the flowers. Yu Fan said.
"Anyway, the last time I met your young lady in the Dragon's Blood Forest, he reported that he was sent by the Snow Mountain, but I have been here for a long time, and I only saw a palace that stretches for dozens of miles, which does not seem to be the financial resources of a sect. And the palace maids have no guards, and there are few female dependents, it is not like a palace, and the king of the palace does not know who it is?"
"I don't know, this snow-capped mountain is vast and hundreds of miles, but not only the Snow Mountain Sect, the north of this foothill is the Snow Mountain Sect, where the terrain is high and strange, the ground is frozen and the weather is cold, which can delay people's lifespan and is also suitable for cultivation. My young lady was originally a member of that sect, but she has experienced the snow mountain faction since she was a child, and my master has sent her to the world in order to avoid this misfortune, let me send it to the world, when I was in the world, I taught her the sect of the heart, swordsmanship and the truth of life, and trained a group of dead soldiers to protect her, I thought that this would be able to keep her safe life, but I didn't expect my young lady's heart knot to be there, and then what she did must have known you. ”
"Having said that, although Miss Shentu is a poor person, is it true that she hunted the prisoner to seal the spirit remains?" Yu Fan said.
"I seem to know more than I thought. After speaking, the mountain master stood up, put his hands on his waist, and sighed in the wind: " The spirit remains are the spiritual veins of the Snow Mountain Sect, for many years, the Snow Mountain has no risk of earthquakes and landslides, all rely on it to protect, but then the spiritual veins overflowed, affecting the Snow Mountain people, and I still don't know who the culprit of that incident is, and then the elder door made a mistake, wanting to open a formation to seal the spirit remains, but no one has used the dark snow Tianluo Great Array since the opening of the faction, when the formation was activated, it summoned the legendary death sacrifice spirit, and those who started the formation also became monsters, the reason why my young lady wanted to get the prisoner, presumably someone scolded her. ”
"I don't think Miss Shentu is a person who has no power, who can scold her?" Ling Qiao interjected. "That prisoner is my spirit beast in the cold mountain, without it, we would also have to live in misery, have you ever considered others. After finishing speaking, the mountain master blushed for a while, and hurriedly apologized: "Presumably, my young lady is also being used, and the imprisoned beast is also safe and sound, this young lady should not blame my young lady, blame it below." ”
