Chapter 20: Xanadu
After a while, Xiaolongnu said, "Brother Qiao, it's not early now, I think I should leave too." β
Qiao Zhengyu looked sad and said, "Sister Long, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. β
"Brother Qiao, please speak. The little dragon girl looked at him.
Qiao Zhengyu said: "I heard that Li Mochou is ruthless, as long as he wants to get something, he must get it, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he can do anything." You just had a grudge with Li Mochou, and I expect that she will not give up, but I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you. Why don't we go together, so that we can take care of it. β
Xiaolongnu listened, hesitated for a while, and said, "Thank you eldest brother for your concern, then Li Mochou is the devil, why am I afraid." Besides, she and I are the same disciples, so she won't do anything to me. β
Qiao Zhengyu hurriedly said: "But, having said that, people's hearts are sinisterγγγγγγ β
Xiaolongnu interrupted Qiao Zhengyu's words and said, "Brother Qiao, don't worry about it, Xiaolongnu knows it." Okay, let's just say goodbye in the future. He waved goodbye to Qiao Zhengyu and turned around and went down the mountain.
Qiao Zhengyu looked at the back of the little dragon girl, his face was full of helplessness, he took a few steps in front of Piao Piao, squatted down and said to him: "What do you say I should do, I know that Sister Long's trip is dangerous, but I can't save it, I can only let it develop." Seeing Piaopiao's fingers scribbling and not spitting out a word, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Hey, why don't you speak, it's useless to talk to you." β
When he was depressed, he suddenly said in his heart: "Although Sister Long is unwilling to go with me, I can secretly follow her." He came to his senses and jumped up from the ground.
"I'm so smart, if this world is without me Qiao Zhengyu, I'm afraid it won't be exciting. Thinking of this, he suddenly became cheerful, danced with his hands, and danced.
"How come you have just learned to be sensible and get old, how can you just γγγγγγ "It's a square dance.
Piao Piao watched coldly from the sidelines and did not make a sound. After jumping like this for a while, Qiao Zhengyu stopped and pulled Piao Piao to chase down the mountain.
The two of them went straight down the mountain, running most of the way, but there was no figure of the little dragon girl, Qiao Zhengyu thought to himself: "Did you take the wrong road, maybe there are two ways down this mountain?"
Just as he was pondering, he heard someone in front of him say, "Boy, come out quickly, I won't kill you." As long as you are willing to come out, I will marry my daughter to you, how about it?"
I went along the prestige, but I saw a person lying there at the cliff, so I couldn't help but be curious, and slowly walked over.
When he came to the cliff, the scene in front of him suddenly made Qiao Zhengyu's heart tremble. It turned out that there was a cave at the bottom of the cliff, which could only accommodate one person, and one of the children was cowering in the cave, looking out of the cave with a frightened face.
"I don't believe you, don't think I don't know, as soon as I come out, you will immediately arrest me and force me to ask about the whereabouts of my stepfather. Hmph, I'm not stupid, how could I fall for you. β
Although the boy was frightened, he also had a lot of backbone, and after speaking, he turned around and climbed into the cave. Although he was young, his body was quite strong, and the cave was full of hard stones, clinging to his body like ten thousand sharp swords, piercing his body.
But the boy was not afraid, and this difficulty could not stop him, and he crawled in, and continued to crawl inside, although it was in great pain.
The man outside suddenly panicked, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't force you, as long as you are willing to come out, I will leave here, this is always okay." But seeing that the boy didn't listen at all, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Zhang Wuji, you coward, if you have a kind, you will come out and fight with your Uncle Zhu." But no matter how insulting he was, the boy seemed to not hear it, and just lowered his head and crawled inside.
Qiao Zhengyu was stunned when he watched from the sidelines, and thought in his heart: "Zhang Wuji, such a coincidence, I actually met him here." I wanted to stop him, but it was obviously too late, only to hear the sound of friction in the cave, and Zhang Wuji's figure quickly disappeared from the entrance of the cave.
"Hey, this cave is small and difficult to walk, and the air inside is thin, Zhang Wuji will definitely die if he goes here. It's a pity, it's a pity. The man went limp, sat down on the ground, shook his head again and again, and muttered to himself.
Suddenly, when he saw Qiao Zhengyu and Piao Piao, his face was overjoyed, he flew up, grabbed Qiao Zhengyu's hand, and said, "It's just in time, hurry up and go down to the cave of the cliff, otherwise, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." As soon as he tried his best, Qiao Zhengyu couldn't help but scream.
"How, you know it's amazing. The man smiled, his eyes glaring at Qiao Zhengyu.
"You let go first, there are other things to discuss. Qiao Zhengyu was so pained that tears almost fell out of his eyes, and he nodded and said.
The man said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry down!" pulled Qiao Zhengyu to the edge of the cliff and was about to push him down.
Qiao Zhengyu hurriedly said: "You are so unreasonable, if you want me to go down, there should always be a reason." The man was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "You just need to go into the cave below, catch up with a boy in front of you, and bring him back." β
Seeing Qiao Zhengyu hesitating, he said again: "I, Zhu Changling, promise you, as long as you bring the boy back, I will not only release you and your sister, but also give you some benefits." He took a piece of gold from his sleeve and slapped it on his hand a few times.
Qiao Zhengyu secretly said in his heart: "This Zhu Changling is good on the outside and evil on the outside, he is definitely not good, he can do anything for the purpose, I still don't want to mess with his good." He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." But you have to promise me that you won't see the boy again if she is hurt in the slightest bit until I return. β
Zhu Changling said impatiently: "Okay, go quickly, I won't hurt her." He let go of his hand, then reached out and grabbed Piaopiao's hand again.
"Despicable!" Qiao Zhengyu scolded secretly, then climbed down the cliff, slowly came to the outside of the cave, and lowered himself to get in.
It was very dark in the cave, and Qiao Zhengyu only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
"Hurry up and get in, what are you rubbing, rubbing again, don't blame me for being unkind. Zhu Changling was afraid that he would not go, so he hurriedly said outside.
Qiao Zhengyu could only climb in, and after climbing for about half an hour, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light faintly appearing in front of him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed and sped up.
After climbing a few more feet, I saw that the entrance of the cave was suddenly open and unimpeded. Qiao Zhengyu changed from crawling to walking, and after walking a few more steps, he had already come to the outside of the cave.
"Am I going wrong, isn't this the paradise that people say about it? β
At this time, what appeared in front of Qiao Zhengyu was another world, with the fragrance of flowers and birds, old trees and green vines, fresh air, and the constant sound of water, which was completely different from the scenery before he came.
"Holy, Shangri-La?" Qiao Zhengyu couldn't believe his eyes, looking at everything in front of him, and sighed at the infinite creativity of nature.
I didn't feel hungry in my stomach, and looked around for a while, but I saw a fruit tree not far ahead, and some strange fruits hung on it, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, I went forward to pick one and eat it.
The fruit is very refreshing, eating it in the mouth, but it is sweet in the heart, which makes Qiao Zhengyu love it.
"Well, what a sweet fruit, it's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious fruit. Qiao Zhengyu seemed to be unsatisfied, wiped his mouth, and reached out to pick another one.
In the afterglow, I saw a figure rushing by, and my heart sank, and I couldn't help shouting: "Who? Come out quickly." β
I saw a boy walking out of the woods slowly, looking at Qiao Zhengyu, and wondering, "Who are you?
The clothes were tattered, dirty, and panicked.
"Zhang Wuji!" Qiao Zhengyu couldn't help but be surprised, smiled, and stepped forward to stop him.
"Don't come here, come here again, I'm leaving. The boy said sharply, taking a few steps back.
Qiao Zhengyu hurriedly stopped, waved at him and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to help you." Are your names Zhang Wuji, and your parents are named Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu?"
Zhang Wuji was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "You know me, why haven't I seen you?"
Qiao Zhengyu smiled: "Oh, I am good friends with your parents, so I know everything about you very well. Let's not talk about that, how did you get here, is it because of that guy outside?"
Zhang Wuji nodded and said: "My parents died when I was a child, and I had no one to rely on, so I had to wander around. Later, when I met Zhu Changling, I thought he was a good person, but I didn't expect itγγγγγγ β
Qiao Zhengyu understood in his heart and said, "Needless to say, I already know everything about this." In this way, why don't you follow me, and I will take you to meet your master?"
Zhang Wuji was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Okay, if you can see my master, you don't have to be afraid of bad people anymore." I heard that Shigong's martial arts are very high, and no matter how many bad guys are not his opponents, I must worship him as a teacher, learn a good skill, and avenge my parents. β
He was young, but he was mature and steady, and he clenched his fists as he spoke, and his eyes were full of tears of excitement.
Qiao Zhengyu said to himself: "This can't be blamed on him, who called him to have such a miserable childhood." Shaking his head and sighing.
stepped forward and was about to pull Mowgli's little hand.
But I heard a huge roar suddenly from the mountain, like a cow but not a cow, like a tiger but not a tiger, one higher than the other, deafening, until the two of them were shocked.
"What monster?" Qiao Zhengyu exclaimed.
"Listen to this sound, it should be an ape or something. Zhang Wuji analyzed.
Qiao Zhengyu said: "How do you know, have you seen monsters?"
Zhang Wuji smiled: "No, I just learned some medical skills, so I know more." β
Qiao Zhengyu nodded and said, "Yes, I forgot about this." Well, let's go and see. β
The two looked at each other, nodded, and walked towards the side of the hill.
The sound came to the other side of the mountain, and although it was far away, it was as close to the ears as if it were close to the eyes. The two of them walked for a long time before they heard the sound get closer and closer, and knew that the monster was ahead.
The two did not dare to go any further, and observed on the spot. At this moment, the voice sounded again, and the eyes of the two looked at a cave in front of them.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Qiao Zhengyu and Zhang Wuji carefully stepped on the branches, came to the entrance of the cave, and looked inside.
