Hankasa • Volume 1 • Omen of Doom Chapter 5 The Good Shadow Outside the Cave
Since that day, Xu Qing couldn't push open the stone door in the cave, sighed secretly, sat on the stone ground, thinking that he had no hope of going to heaven and going to the earth, and sooner or later he would be discovered by Ye Ji and die under his sword.
However, not long after, the stone door opened automatically, the white light shone, and I saw a gray cloth shoe stepping into the door, Xu Qing's body trembled, and there were Ye Yunshan's disciples guarding outside the cave.
However, after the appearance of the person outside the cave appeared, Xu Qing's lips widened, and the person who came was actually a gray cloth woman, with a spear on her back, a delicate face, a little black mole on her forehead, and a small mouth, but she was full of heroism, not as delicate as an ordinary woman.
It should be some martial arts foundation, and this woman is that Zhao Li.
Since Zhao Li fled from the northern capital of Jinling, no matter how anxious Zhao Ping, the king of Bianyang, is, he has turned a deaf ear, but after all, he is a person in the court.
changed his name to Zhao Ru, and whenever he met strange friends, he would show them under a pseudonym, which can be regarded as safe and sound.
On the way south, I inquired and traveled all the way, and I had to learn martial arts everywhere I went.
The people I met were full of Jianghu spirit, along the way, I made a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, and I didn't pay much attention to secular etiquette in this Jianghu, although Zhao Li was a woman, but her temperament was straightforward.
I haven't been instructed like in Kyoto, my mind is very comfortable these days, but there are many things in the rivers and lakes, but the most shocking thing is the defeat of the Yeyun faction at the Ten Thousand Daomen.
Zhao Li originally wanted to learn more martial arts in this river and lake, but now the Ye Yun faction has soared into the sky, and the mountain lord Ye Ji is a real swordsman.
As a result, although the road was far away, Zhao Li was not afraid of hardships and dangers, crossed mountains and mountains, and finally came to the foot of Yeyun Mountain, but was stopped by the disciples who patrolled the mountain just as he was going up the mountain.
threatened that Ye Yunshan would never accept female disciples, Zhao Li argued angrily, cursing Ye Yunshan for not being as shallow as the people in the rivers and lakes.
Such a big commotion caused a commotion, but the disciples who patrolled the mountain intensified their efforts and summoned people to deter them, so Zhao Li had no choice but to give up going up the mountain.
Turning around and walking into the distance, I looked back and saw that the disciples who patrolled the mountains had already left, and I was very unwilling in my heart, I had worked hard to come to this martial arts school to study, but I ended up in such a situation.
So he wandered at the foot of Yeyun Mountain, looking for a way up the mountain, thinking that even if Ye Yunshan didn't accept himself, he only needed to find a no-man's land and learn a few tricks every day, and he would not go in vain.
However, it was late, Zhao Li had to go to the town under the mountain to find an inn, walked in the crowd, looked up and saw a building, and the plaque outside the building said "Chongyang Inn".
This restaurant stood out among the inns in this town, and Zhao Li was hungry, so he rushed out of the crowd and entered the inn with a red-haired gun on his back.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came out and led Zhao Li upstairs and said, "There are a lot of guests today, and the wronged girl will take a few more steps." Zhao Li didn't care much, followed the guy upstairs, sat at the table next to the railing, and ordered a few side dishes and two pots of wine.
The shopkeeper responded: "Okay!"
hurriedly went downstairs to prepare wine and food, and Zhao Li squinted at the flow of passengers downstairs.
For a while, I didn't know what to do next, so I could only sigh a little and be uncertain.
After sitting for a long time, a large wooden plate came to the second end of the shop, which was stacked with three meat and two vegetables, and two pots of Zhuangyuan red, and after the number of dishes was complete, the shopkeeper nodded and said: "The guest officer uses it slowly. ”
Zhao Li thanked him, and the shopkeeper went downstairs with a plate.
Zhao Li stared at the wine and food on the table, he had no appetite, although he practiced martial arts all year round in the southern rivers and lakes, the food was not as good as the capital.
But Zhao Li had been on an empty stomach for half a day, so he had to eat it, pick up a few pieces of small vegetables with chopsticks and put them in a bowl, and swallow them into his stomach with rice.
After swallowing half a bowl, he suddenly felt discomfort in his mouth, as if he had chewed something else, and spit it out at the moment, the table was full of rice, and he was about to pick up the red gun to find Xiao Er's comment.
But attracted by the light yellow paper on the table, Zhao Li was wondering how there could be yellow paper in this rice.
So I picked up the piece of paper and slowly peeled it off, and a vivid map of the mountain road was revealed.
Zhao Lida frowned, he didn't know what it was, he picked up the drawings and examined them carefully, his eyes were wide open, and a piece of terrain on the drawings was the way he led from the town to the foot of Yeyun Mountain.
I opened my field of vision and looked at the whole map roughly, and then I realized that the piece of paper was a topographical drawing of Ye Yunshan.
I was full of joy, so that it only took a few hours for me to find the way up the mountain, although the terrain of Yeyun Mountain is complicated, but with this drawing, it will not be easy to get lost.
The drawings also mark the place where the mountain patrol disciples are stationed, so it is easy to avoid the mountain patrol disciples and go up the mountain without being noticed.
But why did such a detailed drawing appear in the meal, Zhao Lifu sat on the long wooden bench and thought about it carefully.
Lifting the spear and entering the back hall of the Chongyang Inn, he found a suspicious person and asked again, but there were people in the back hall, and the guys on the errand all looked at Zhao Li.
I don't know why she appeared in the back hall, the shopkeeper who had just delivered the food saw Zhao Li, paced over to ask why, Zhao Li said to the shopkeeper: "Have you seen any suspicious people entering the back hall?" Zhao Li paused for a moment, and then asked: "Is there a new guy in the building during this time?" Zhao Li deduced that someone might be pretending, but he only heard the shopkeeper reply: "Back to the girl's words, the people in the building have all come here for more than one time, and there are no new companions. ”
In desperation, Zhao Li had no choice but to pay the silver ingot and walked out of the inn.
The shopkeeper took the silver ingot, and saw Zhao Li go out of the building and walk away, so he turned out to hand over the rice and silver to the shopkeeper, but was suddenly stopped by another guy, who said: "Brother Zhang, didn't you just come here the day before yesterday? Why don't you tell the girl the truth?"
The shopkeeper shook his shoulders, smiled, looked back at the guy and said, "That girl has a fierce look on her face, if I tell the truth, I'm afraid my life will be difficult to protect." ”
But said that Zhao Li according to the drawing, all the way to the shade of Yeyun Mountain, this place is extremely hidden, if you don't pay attention to it, there is no way to find it, along the route on the map, Zhao Li walked to the mountain step by step, the slope is a little steep, so he will hold the spear on the ground as a turn, and slowly step on the stone.
After stumbling like this for a long time, the food in the package had already been eaten, Zhao Li was so tired and hungry that he cut off the miscellaneous branches in front of him, and stepped on the gentle place in front of him.
After all, he finished the most difficult part of the journey, lying on the grass for a while, his mouth was dry, and he stood up again and walked forward, and suddenly saw a stone gate in front of him, and there was no weed on the stone gate, as if it had been trimmed.
After thinking about it for a while, I took out the drawing and followed the path on the map with my fingers, and slowly drew to the end, and saw a mark, the pattern was a square black frame, and I must have referred to this stone gate.
Zhao Li was overjoyed, and finally arrived at the end point, these days have not suffered in vain, so he strode to the door, put his hands on the stone door, pushed the door left and right, and felt that when he pushed the stone door to the right, the stone door was loosened, so he continued to push it and opened the stone door, but saw a figure sitting on the stone ground, so he took a closer look.
In the main hall of Ye Yunqian Mountain, Ye Ji sat on the chair in the middle of the mountain, Zheng Kai Xiaoqiu was placed on both sides, and the disciples in charge of various places in the mountain were also gathered in the hall, including Li Zheng and Lin Shi, the disciples of the mountain patrol.
Lin Shi stepped to the middle first, everyone turned their heads to look at it, and after a pause, he spoke: "In the past few days, all the disciples have been patrolling the mountainside and the mountain every day according to the established range, and no suspicious person has been found. ”
Ye Ji motioned for Lin Shi to step aside, Zheng Kai suddenly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Head of Qiqi, that Xu Qing Xiao'er has not been found yet, except for the disciples who patrol the mountain, the disciples have sent people to various important places, but they don't see the slightest figure of Xu Qing." ”
When Ye Qiu, the daughter of Ye Ji, heard this, she couldn't help but grab the conversation and said: "Master, this Xu Qing is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Dao Sect who killed Senior Brother Lu Long, if he is not found and executed in time, I am afraid that there will be senior brothers under the negative Nine Springs." ”
All the disciples were secretly sad, and their hearts were sad and indignant, although Ye Yunshan defeated the Ten Thousand Daomen in this battle, Ye Yunshan's disciples suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining Ye Yunshan disciples have not been able to erase the pain of the tragic death of their relatives and friends.
Ye Ji glanced at Li Zheng who was standing in the corner, and Li Zheng immediately walked to the middle of the main hall and said: "The disciple was ordered by the head of the sect and more than a dozen senior brothers to dig open the graves of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Daomen who died before, and Xu Qing's body was never found. ”
Ye Ji nodded in understanding, and Li Zheng stepped aside.
Zheng Kaifu stepped forward again and said: "Master, why don't you go to the Liaoyang Wandao Gate with Senior Sister Xiaoqiu to find that Xu Qing?" Before Ye Qiu could step forward, he said loudly and angrily: "Why did the head let go of that Zhang Yansheng that day, this person is a ferocious and vicious person, how many Ye Yunshan disciples have been killed in the mountain, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots without leaving any trouble." ”
Ye Ji glared at Ye Qiu angrily, Ye Qiu retreated to one place with a lot of anxiety, Zheng Kai retreated, Ye Ji calmed his mind, and said in his mouth: "Although we defeated the Ten Thousand Daomen this time, we can't kill them all, and destroy the Ten Thousand Daomen, this is a loss of morality, although the Ten Thousand Daomen has killed many of our disciples, but their casualties are even more serious, and those who do great things need to know how to forbear. ”
Ye Qiu was still waiting to step forward, but was grabbed by Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai desperately glanced at Xiao Qiu, but Ye Qiu said, "Senior brother, why are you stopping me?" Zheng Kai persuaded softly: "Don't be reckless, if you are dissatisfied, you can tell the master afterwards that you shouldn't be unobstructed in the hall. ”
Ye Qiu's face was unconvinced, but he felt that Zheng Kai's words were quite reasonable, so he restrained himself slightly.
Ye Ji saw Ye Qiu's expression, but he didn't care, his eyes swept to Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai understood, hurriedly walked to the front of the hall, and shouted loudly: "Someone!"
Four disciples with swords rushed in outside the hall, and the disciples in the hall were in an uproar, not knowing what had happened.
Zheng Kai walked lightly through the crowd and stopped at a disciple at the very corner, who was none other than Li Zheng.
