Chapter 480: All the way to the east

When I walked out of the house and looked back, it turned out that the hall was actually built on a raised flat ground. The flat ground is very narrow, there is a small open space in front of the hall, and a flagpole is erected in the open space, and on the white flag at the end of the pole, there is a big "ghost" character. The word "ghost" is embroidered with black thread, and there is a broken knife and a broken sword embroidered on the left and right, and this flag looks indescribably weird. There is a row of houses on the left and right sides of the open space, and the hall encloses the open space on three sides, except for the empty south side, which is a long row of zigzag stairs leading to the bottom of the high platform. Behind the hall, there is a row of low, two-story buildings, but other than that, there is nothing else on the high platform. Beneath the high platform, it is surrounded by a number of houses, and the outermost ring is a wall made of sharpened wooden piles.

Judging from the surrounding high peaks, it is a depression in the mountains. Hua Qingyu estimated according to the time after being caught, this place should still not be out of the range of Cangyun Ridge. "Building a gang in the middle of the deserted mountains, this group of people is really weird......," Hua Qingyu said in her heart," Hua Qingyu said.

"Clear rain. Fei Tukong shouted at her, wincing his eyebrows. Hua Qingyu knew that he wanted her to summon the demon clan in the prison world.

Hua Qingyu shook her head lightly and nodded slightly. Shaking his head means that he will not summon the demon clan to help him for the time being, and nodding his head means comforting Fei Tukong not to worry.

Fei Tu hollowly comprehended, knowing that Hua Qingyu had his own arrangements, he also put his mind at ease.

Several minions led the two to a row of houses behind the high platform, and escorted them into two adjacent rooms. After entering the house, the minions untied the two of them, retreated again, and closed the door. Figures came in through the window, and it seemed that the two were under house arrest.

After a while, a few more people came outside, and after informing the guards outside the door, they pushed open the door and entered the house. Each person carried a tray with a flask, a teapot, a bowl, and a few delicate side dishes. They put the food and drinks on the round table, and one of them said "please", and then they all withdrew. No one has come since.

Fei Tukong didn't dare to eat and drink immediately, he was worried about whether it would be poisonous inside. But the aroma of wine and food soon spread in the small room, and he grunted and swallowed. He circled around the table, never taking his eyes off the things on it. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he felt as if even his soul had been sucked into the jug. He walked to the wall and knocked on the wall: "Qingyu, this wine and food ......"

"It's not poisonous, so feel free to eat it. Hua Qingyu next door had already guessed Fei Tukong's thoughts.

Fei Tukong was overjoyed, and jumped to the table, not even bothering to use the wine cup, picked up the wine jug and drank it to the spout.

At this time, a guard's voice came from outside the house: "We're 'third masters' who have always done things above board, and will never harm people by despicable means. Besides, if she wants to kill you, it is so easy, why use poison? ”

"Hey, Bright and Bright still instructed his subordinates to dig traps and harm people?" Fei Tukong was both disdainful and dissatisfied.

The guards outside all laughed, and one said: "The low-level means of digging a pit can only be made by that guy who is big and fat, what does it have to do with the 'third master'?"

"You 'third master' arrested us by mistake and refused to let us go, what does she want to do?" Hua Qingyu asked.

"That's it, if you are caught, you are a prisoner, and you are actually able to treat us with wine and food, you 'third master' are really a weirdo. As he spoke, he smacked his lips and looked at the delicate dishes of appetizers, quail eggs, wild pigeon wings, and frog legs, which were not only rare in winter, but also very well cooked, and so much to his liking.

"When it comes to the name of our 'third master', it is still a little famous in the rivers and lakes. She is a 'righteous' character in the world, otherwise how can a mere female stream support our White Ghost Gang?"

This person's words caused several other guards to say yes again and again, and they seemed to forget the two people in the room, and began to talk to each other, during which they said that "the third master" had a lot of benefits.

Fei Tukong and Hua Qingyu both listened quietly, and from the words of the guards, they could summarize several qualities of the "Third Master": First of all, the "Third Master" is extremely righteous, and it is not bad to deal with the brothers under him, but his personality is too fierce and cold, giving people a sense of being unapproachable; The punishment of the "Third Master" in the gang rules of the White Ghost Gang is extremely heavy, even if it is a trivial matter such as stealing, if it is discovered, she will be beheaded, which shows that she is a person who cannot tolerate a little sand in her eyes; finally, the "Third Master" is also a very mysterious character, even her cronies know nothing about her past experience. The whole gang only knew her surname Liu, but they didn't know her real name. Even when meeting with people on the rivers and lakes, people just call "Liu Sanye" respectfully. At the beginning, "Liu Sanye" was alone away from the world and entered the mountains and mountains to live in seclusion, and later successively recruited a group of down-and-out people from all over the world to gather righteousness, and was finally embraced as the leader and established the White Ghost Gang, which gradually developed to what it is today. Although it is not a famous gang, it is not easy for a woman, not to mention that the place where the gang is established is in such a remote place.

"'Liu Sanye' seems to be deliberately concealing his past experience, and the name of 'white ghost' is also a little harsh. She must be a person with a story. Hua Qingyu thought in her heart.

The night passed quickly. In the early morning of the next day, before the end of the day, Hua Qingyu's door was pushed open, and then a row of people came in "Hulala". The women came first, followed by two men carrying a large wooden barrel into the room. When the lid of the barrel was lifted, it was already filled with hot water, and there was a thick layer of flower petals floating on the water. The two men exited the room and closed the door after putting down the barrel, and the women began to help Hua Qingyu undress.

"It's to help me take a bath

Right? You don't need your help, you go out, I'll just wash myself. Hua Qingyu was not used to it, so she clutched her clothes tightly and dodged.

Those women couldn't help but say, they forced Hua Qingyu into a corner, stripped her naked with all hands and feet, and put her in a wooden barrel. Then, several women had a clear division of labor, some rubbed their backs, some combed their hair, and some washed their faces. Hua Qingyu couldn't resist them, so she simply didn't resist and washed with them. A hot bath with petals in the middle of winter, not to mention how comfortable. During the period of being served, Hua Qingyu suddenly thought that Fei Tukong next door would also be "enjoying" the same treatment? Imagining that he was stripped naked by a group of big men and forcibly pressed into the bathtub, she couldn't help laughing.

After a while, the bath was over. Several women put on brand new inner and outer clothes for Hua Qingyu. The coat is also as white as snow, which is very suitable for the meaning of flowers and rain. After dressing, a woman knocked on the door, and the two men who were waiting outside entered the room to carry the bathtub out and a dresser in. There are a lot of rouge gouaches on the table, and Hua Qingyu can judge from the fragrant aroma that these red makeup products are not of low grade, at least much better than those that "Liu Sanye" applied himself. In this way, the peculiarity of "Liu Sanye" is a little more: she knows that there are high-end cosmetics in the ghost village, why doesn't she use it, but is willing to apply those inferior cosmetics that choke on the nose?

The women pressed Hua Qingyu to the seat of the dresser, and one of them opened the drawer. The room suddenly shone with golden light, it was a drawer full of jewelry! My daughter loves jewelry, and Hua Qingyu is naturally no exception. She picked this up and looked at that again, excited.

Seeing that Hua Qingyu had a favorite jewelry, several women put on the jewelry she was holding in her hand. Hairpins, flowers, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and waist wears are all the same. After dressing up, Hua Qingyu looked at the image in the bronze mirror, and she felt that she was as beautiful as a fairy. After that, the women who served her all left the room, and they didn't say a word from beginning to end, leaving only an inexplicable and joyful Hua Qingyu in the room. After a long time, she realized that her old clothes had been taken away.

"What do you want to do if you dress me up so beautiful?" After Hua Qingyu was beautiful, she calmed down and thought about it, "Yesterday, 'Third Master Liu' said that he would take me to see that 'Second Master' today." Could it be that the 'second master' is very big, and he has to be carefully dressed up to see him?" Suddenly, she remembered that when she was just caught in the White Ghost Village, "Liu Sanye" said a sentence: "I want to see what kind of appearance it looks like, and the son of the second master's family is fascinated!" Thinking of catching the wrong person, Hua Qingyu suddenly realized: "Oh, I see!"

Presumably, the son-in-law of the "Second Master" family fell in love with a white-clothed woman who lived in seclusion near Shuangyue Peak, so the "Second Master" asked the "Third Master Liu" to help him catch the woman back, but he didn't want to catch Hua Qingyu back by mistake. Now that the woman in white doesn't know where to go, she simply arrives with Hua Qingyu, who is not bad looking.

"No wonder you're so polite to us. Hua Qingyu shook his head and smiled secretly, "As everyone knows, love can blind people's eyes, even if others say that the person he likes is not good-looking, he will feel as beautiful as a fairy, even if there is really a 'fairy' standing next to him, he will turn a blind eye." The White Ghost Village is hidden in the mountains of Cangyun Mountain, and it is so close to the Yongquan River, so it is not possible to clear the suspicion related to strange poisons for the time being. In addition, the woman in white that I was mistaken for should have lived on the Double Moon Peak before, and according to Kuai Jin'an, she was also a medicine refiner, so she was even more suspicious. Hua Qingyu thought about it for a long time, and decided not to run away first, but to go with the flow in order to explore clues.

After a while, someone from outside the house came again. After the door was pushed open, Hua Qingyu saw a sedan chair outside the house. The sedan chair is relatively simple, without a canopy or curtain, and to put it bluntly, it is just a chaise longue tied to two long sticks. Hua Qingyu walked out of the room and saw a sedan chair parked in front of the door of the next room. "Liu Sanye" changed into a light outfit and stood between the two sedan chairs with his hands in his hands.

Fei Tukong also walked out of the room, and when he saw the situation outside the house, he was quite surprised, pointed to the sedan chair and asked, "This is for me to sit on?"

"Liu Sanye" said: "Exactly." We set off immediately and strive to reach the 'second master' within five days. ”

"Haha," Fei Tukong laughed, "I'm a big man on a sedan chair - I don't have to have such a time in my life!" After saying that, he sat on the sedan chair by himself, and twisted his body, "Well, yes, it's very comfortable!"

Hua Qingyu smiled: "Where are the flowers?"

"Isn't it right here?" Fei Tukong pointed at Hua Qingyu, "Look at you, dressed up in a showy manner, is this still the indifferent Qingyu sister?"

"Poor mouth!" Hua Qingyu snorted and sat in the sedan chair.

"Third Master Liu" also rarely showed a smile again, "It's very comfortable now, I'm afraid you won't be comfortable for a while." Come on, tie them all up!" she beckoned, and several of her subordinates walked to the palanquin with ropes.

Fei Tukong hurriedly said: "Hey, didn't we already loosen the tie yesterday? Why do we want to tie it up again? When others see us on the road, they think we are bad people!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm doing this for your own good!" "Third Master Liu" showed no mercy, and let those people tie up tightly.

Fei Tukong, who was firmly tied to the sedan chair, had to curse in his heart: "This woman is really weird, polite for a while, and turned her face for a while, whoever marries her in the future will be unlucky!"

After tying up, "Liu Sanye" commanded the minions to carry the two sedan chairs to the gate of the White Ghost Village. When I got out of the gate, there were already a few people waiting outside with a few horses.

These horses are extremely majestic, with long manes, wide hooves, bulging muscles and muscular beauty, and thick white steam coming out of their nostrils with every snort.

There were more than a dozen horses in this group of horses, and "Liu Sanye" and a few people who led the horses turned over

On the horse, the minions who carried the sedan chair put the sedan chair down, led the horse over, and then tied the sedan pole to the horse's back with ropes.

"Huh, carry a sedan chair with a horse?" Fei Tukong felt fresh.

"The 'second master' is far away from here, and you have to walk to the Year of the Monkey and the moon?"

Fei Tukong pursed his lips: "Your shabby cottage is so remote, where is it not far away?"

"Don't be verbose, if you talk too much, I'll use a stinky cloth to plug it for you!" "Liu Sanye" glared at him.

Each sedan chair has two sedan poles, a total of four ends, each on the back of a horse. The four horses are also tied to each other by iron cables to prevent them from straying. In addition, there is a leading horse in front of the sedan chair, and a man who is riding a horse is carried on horseback. The iron rope on this horse is connected to the sedan chair and to the other four sedan horses. In this way, each sedan chair has five horses, plus the five horses ridden by "Liu Sanye" and four subordinates, a total of fifteen horses. With the command of "Liu Sanye", the horse team galloped all the way along the mountain road, galloping towards the east in the face of the sun.

The mountain roads are already difficult to walk, not to mention the snow. The tall horses galloped wildly, but they were as flat as the ground. It was only at this time that Fei Tukong and Hua Qingyu understood what "Liu Sanye" said before, "I'm doing this for your good". If it weren't for the tight ropes that held the two of them firmly to the sedan chair, I am afraid they would have been turned upside down long ago.

Even so, the two of them were still extremely uncomfortable, after all, there was a difference in the rhythm of the four horses carrying the sedan chair and the hooves, and there was also a difference between the height of the mountain road. Fei Tukong complained intermittently: "You, you said, early, early, we, no, no, won't, horseback, why, why bother!"

"What do you know? This horse is not an extraordinary breed, its nature is as fierce as fire, and it only knows one master for life, how can it be carried by strangers? Even this pannier has to be practiced for a long time. "Liu Sanye" said, "I advise you to talk less, beware of biting your tongue! "It turns out that there are still such fierce horses in the world who don't care about the two masters.

It's better out of the mountains, and that's really a hope. But the horses marched for two days, and they were still in the mountains. In two days, I only took three breaks. These horses are indeed of good breed, and they do not stop when they run, unless the owner of the leading horse stops. Fei Tukong finally survived these two days, only to feel dizzy, and there was no bone in his body that did not hurt. It's a pity that the wine and food eaten in the white ghost village vomited on the first morning of the sedan chair. The most pitiful thing is Hua Qingyu, the elaborate dress is completely in vain, the shawl is scattered, the face is haggard, and many jewelry except for necklaces and bracelets are still on the body, and the others are not known where they have fallen.

"Liu Sanye" saw Hua Qingyu's pitiful embarrassed appearance when he was resting, and laughed unkindly: "Come on, let's go, it's because I didn't think it through." When I got to the second master, I would take care of it first, and then I would go to see someone. ”

According to the estimation of "Liu Sanye", the horse team should arrive at the destination within five days. But it was not until the night of the fourth day that the horse team rushed out of the mountains and came to the plains. This shows how vast this mountain area is. In fact, Cangyunling cannot represent the entire mountainous area, and it is not far to the east from Baiguizhai, which does not belong to the scope of Cangyunling. It's just that there are many mountains and they are inaccessible, so many of the peaks have no names. As for the hills on the outer edge of the east, there is a good name of "Cuifeng Screen", because the continuous and almost high hills are like a screen, especially in the spring and summer season, the mountains are full of verdant green, lush, and the name of "Cuifeng" comes from this.

The plain out of the Cuifeng Screen is very vast, the soil is fertile, and there are many prefectures, towns, villages and towns on the plain, which is a densely populated area. Because it was the ugly hour on the fourth day after the departure from the mountainous area, it was silent, so no one saw the horse team of "Liu Sanye". "Liu Sanye" didn't seem to want to attract attention, so he ordered no rest, and drove the horse team to gallop all night. Almost at dawn, she led the team to change direction, bypassing crowded places, and only running wildly in the grass and fields.

Finally, on the afternoon of the fifth day, "Liu Sanye" slowed down and slowly approached a lakeside idle village at the speed of a horse's walking.

"In four and a half days, I rushed from the White Ghost Village to Jianlin Village, which was quite fast. "Liu Sanye" was satisfied with the whip, turned over and dismounted. "How's it going, doesn't it taste good?" she playfully teased the two of them in the sedan chair, who were already exhausted.

"You're not letting us sit in a sedan chair at all, but we're going to be tortured!

"Huh. "Liu Sanye" smiled for the fourth time, and she personally untied the two of them.

At this time, many people dressed up in family clothes poured out from Jianlin Village, lined up in a neat two-line line, and a leader came over and saluted "Liu Sanye": "My second master has long expected that the third master will come recently, so he has been waiting in the village for a long time. ”

"Oh?" "Third Master Liu" raised his eyebrows, "He's quite good at guessing." You go to report quickly, my people are dusty, long and tiring, and after a while, they will enter the village. ”

"Yes. The man hurried back to the farm.

The point of the outfit is to help Hua Qingyu recover her appearance. Combs, bronze mirrors, hairpins and other items are all in the storage magic weapon of "Liu Sanye", and there is no shortage of rouge gouache. It's just that these rouge gouaches are not the high-end goods used by Hua Qingyu in the White Ghost Village, but the inferior products used by "Liu Sanye" himself.

"Well, I don't have to. After Hua Qingyu finished combing her hair, she frowned slightly and refused the red makeup supplies handed by "Liu Sanye".

Unexpectedly, this move angered "Liu Sanye", her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide, and she said angrily: "What, disgusted? I am still reluctant to use it for you!
