Chapter 99: Into the Mountains to Fetch Things
Nie Liang looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes were full of disbelief, even if he hadn't seen the county lord for many years, but he should never be just fourteen or fifteen years old, if he counted it seriously, the county lord would probably be eighteen this year.
"I know you suspect it, but I am Qi Yunge, and I don't know the location of this Qilin Talisman except for me and my father. Shen Yanshu said.
Nie Liang shook his head: "But isn't the county lord already ......?"
Shen Yanshu looked at him: "Can Uncle Nie Liang believe in borrowing a corpse to resurrect his soul?" Although I also find it hard to believe, but this is the case, I am now the third lady of the Shen family. β
Xiyan stepped forward and said, "I am Chen Yi's daughter Chen Yanxi, I can be sure that she is really the county lord of Qingyun, and she will not be wrong." β
Shen Yanshu said: "When I was a child, every time I begged Uncle Nie Liang to buy me a sugar gourd, you always bought a sour one and a sweet one, and then I guessed which one to let me eat, but Uncle Nie Dong couldn't look past it, and secretly reminded me every time." β
Nie Liang looked at Shen Yanshu straight like this, his eyes suddenly rose mist, and he was speechless for a while and suddenly raised his head and laughed, but with a smile and laughter, tears fell silently.
He knelt down and said to Shen Yanshu: "County Lord, my subordinates have finally waited for you." β
Shen Yanshu hurriedly helped him up: "After so many years, I have worked hard for you." β
Nie Liang shook his head: "It's not hard, because we know how important our mission is." β
Shen Yanshu turned his head, took the wooden box in his hand from Xiyan's hand, and said to Nie Liang: "Uncle Nie Liang, I brought my father here and wanted to bury him in Baiyue Mountain. β
"General......" Nie Liang looked at the wooden box in Shen Yanshu's hand, his heart moved, and his hand trembled slightly.
He took the box, his eyes already scarlet.
"It's just that we couldn't be with the general. Nie Liang choked up and said, "General Rong Ma has paid so much to protect the Great Zhou all his life, and he ended up like this......
Shen Yanshu raised his head, trying not to let his tears fall.
The clouds on the horizon burned more and more red, illuminating the entire temple red, Shen Yanshu walked out of the meditation room, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.
Nie Liang said that he would take the general's ashes and bury them in this moon worship mountain tomorrow, and the general once said that when the world is decided, he will return to the mountains and forests and live the life of a small hunter, which is not bad.
Now burying him in the mountains may be the best option.
Nie Dong and Nie Liang stayed in Baiyue Mountain at the beginning, guarding this Qilin Talisman, but the wild beasts in this mountain are often infested, and there are also many hunters and farmers who collect medicine, and after a few thoughts, the two decided to build a temple.
The two of them became the only two monks in the temple at the beginning, not only able to resist wild beasts, but also able to often patrol the mountains and forests, and practice martial arts and chant Buddhist scriptures in the temple in their spare time.
The other four monks were all picked up by them, some were the sons of the nearby Orion, who was homeless after being bitten to death by wild beasts, and Nie Liang took them in, and some were abandoned babies at the foot of the mountain......
The two of them taught them to practice martial arts and taught them to live in this mountain forest, and thus became the current Anqing Temple.
Before dawn, Shen Yanshu and Xiyan had already packed up and walked out of the room in convenient clothes.
Nie Dong and Nie Liang were already waiting at the door, and when they saw Shen Yanshu coming out, they stepped forward and bowed half-kneeling: "County Lord." β
Shen Yanshu said: "No need to be polite, while they haven't gotten up yet, let's go up the mountain first." β
Nie Dong and Nie Liang nodded, and the four of them opened the gate of the temple, and then walked out towards the path deep in the mountains.
"Whew-"

Nie Dong and Nie Liang nodded, and the four of them opened the gate of the temple, and then walked out towards the path deep in the mountains.
"Whew-"
There was a wolf howl in the mountains, and Shen Yan'an, who was buried deep in the quilt, couldn't help but shiver, and covered the quilt even tighter.
Shen Yanshu and Xi Yan followed Nie Dong and Nie Liang on the road, and happened to meet a wolf with baring fangs.
Xiyan carried the bow and arrow on his back, skillfully set up the arrow, drew the bow, aimed at the wolf, and then let go, only to hear a "boom-", the wolf was pierced through the neck with a whin, fell to the ground and struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.
"The little girl has good archery skills. Nie Liang praised.
Xiyan said: "I smiled." β
Wolves have always appeared in packs, and there must be other wolves in one place, but the wolf hiding in the shadows saw that his head wolf had been shot so easily, and the little green light in the deep woods slowly dimmed.
Shen Yanshu and the others continued to move forward, and a bright light gradually rose in the sky, and after walking to a bamboo forest, the sky was completely bright.
Shen Yanshu turned his head to look at Nie Dong and Nie Liang: "You can just wait for me here, the road after that can only be walked by one person, too many people are not good." β
Nie Dong and Nie Liang nodded, this bamboo forest has a formation, and ordinary people will get lost after entering, and it is difficult for people who do not know how to break the formation to find the right way.
Nie Dong stepped forward and handed Shen Yanshu two signal flares: "If you get the talisman, you will raise a green signal flare, and if you encounter danger and need our help, you will raise a red signal flare." β
Shen Yanshu took the thing, and then stuffed it into the small bag tied to his waist.
For the rest of the way, she had to walk alone.
Shen Yanshu walked into the bamboo forest, the formation of the bamboo forest was set by her father, so it was not difficult for her, she carefully observed the surroundings, and then walked towards an inconspicuous path in the direction of the south.
After walking for a long time, she finally heard the sound of thin water, she walked in the direction of the sound, and saw the small stream, Shen Yanshu was overjoyed, so she started to walk along the upper reaches of the stream.
Finally we came to the upper reaches of the stream, which was a small waterfall, from which the water rushed down, smashed into the pool below, and then slowly flowed down the trail to form a small stream.
Shen Yanshu was just about to step forward, when she suddenly felt that there was danger approaching around her, she turned over and rolled to the side, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be a big black bear.
Because this is a water source, it is normal for wild beasts to come here to drink, but this big bear is also too big, which makes Shen Yanshu stunned. The big black bear stared at her, his eyes seemed to be staring at the prey, Shen Yanshu took a few steps back, and the big black bear followed a few steps forward, as if he didn't want to miss this lunch.
The big black bear pounced on her again, Shen Yanshu jumped up, stepped on a big tree next to him, and then pulled out the flying knife on his waist and shot directly at the big bear's forehead.
"Roarβ"
The big black bear was in pain and roared loudly, which shook the birds of the entire bamboo forest and flew away.
Shen Yanshu took advantage of this opportunity to quickly run to the edge of the pool, stepped on the stone, made a leap, and fell to the small cliff next to the waterfall, and then slowly walked along the cliff to the back of the waterfall and entered a cave.
The Qilin Talisman is hidden in this cave.
She walked inside, gently avoiding the thin line under her feet, then took a few steps, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it inside.
"Huh-" As soon as the stone was thrown, a lot of sharp arrows were sent out around it, and Shen Yanshu dodged them one by one.
When there were no more arrows shooting around, Shen Yanshu lit the fire fold and continued to walk inside.
Finally walked to the center, Shen Yanshu looked up at the small hole in the cave, took out the dagger that had been prepared a long time ago, and threw it directly into the high mountain wall, and then volleyed into the air, his feet gently stepped on the dagger that was firmly inserted, and with a kick of his legs, he held the small hole that had fallen into it with both hands.
She stretched out her left hand and touched the cliff hole on the top, and sure enough, she touched a box, and then reached out directly to hold it.
But at this time, a long green snake appeared around for some reason, poked its head out and bit it in the direction of Shen Yanshu!
Shen Yanshu subconsciously dodged, but with only a short dagger under his feet, he naturally slid down.
"Ah!" Shen Yanshu exclaimed, then stepped on the cliff wall and jumped down in another direction,
It's just that Shen Yanshu hasn't stood firm yet, and suddenly shot out a bunch of sharp arrows from the side, Shen Yanshu's eyes widened, and she pulled out the Lingyun Sword from behind her back to resist, and she could only rely on instinct to dodge, but the arrows were too dense, and she couldn't accurately dodge all the arrows.
"Uh!" she was stabbed in the left shoulder by an arrow, the pain came from the shoulder, the movement in her hand slowed down, the sound of arrows and swords intertwined constantly, and one accidentally, Shen Yanshu was hit by an arrow in the leg.
The trap that he and his father set together was to prevent others from taking away this unicorn talisman, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was all used on myself!
Finally waiting for the arrows to stop, Shen Yanshu pulled out the arrows on his shoulders and thighs, fortunately the piercing was not deep, otherwise there was really no way to get out.
Shen Yanshu opened the box in her hand and took out a golden token with a unicorn pattern tattooed on it, she took the token directly in her arms, threw the box aside, and got up to leave.
But when she walked out of the waterfall, she found that about twenty wolves were eating the big black bear she had just injured, a bear that was so big, but under the sweep of twenty adult wild wolves, only some bones remained.
Hearing someone's voice, several vigilant wolves raised their heads and looked at Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu was injured, and the smell of blood irritated the wolves even more, and they all walked towards her......
