Volume 2 The Lonely Heart Stirs Up the Wind and Dust Chapter 93 The bitter cold is not over
Bai Xingxian walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the broken iron lock and hemp rope, and when he had an idea, he turned around and said, "I have a method, maybe I can try it." Everyone hurriedly asked: "What is the way?" Bai Xing tears pretended to be mysterious, pursed his lips and smiled, without saying a word, and went to pull the broken chain bridge, although Pei Jingnian and the others didn't know what she meant, but seeing that she was quite struggling, they also stepped forward together, and pulled the broken bridge up the cliff together.
He removed a few chains, weighed them in his hands, and tied them tightly together with hemp rope. Seeing this, Shen Cuttlefish suddenly got up, pointed to the wrist-thick iron lock and said, "Do you want to ......" Bai Xing smiled with tears in his eyes, and said: "Connect this iron lock into a line, throw it to the end of the cliff, hook it on the stake, and step on this iron lock to pass." ”
Pei Jingnian and Mingjue glanced at each other and said in unison: "This is indeed a good way. Shen cuttlefish spread his palms and shrugged his shoulders and said, "What a good way, I think it's a bad idea." This iron lock is rusty, Hugh said how can it be fixed on the opposite side, even if it is fixed, how can you step on it at a fist-wide distance?
"We are all martial arts practitioners, and we have our own light skills, even if it is the silk thread, we can walk it, not to mention that this iron lock is a fist wide. Bai Xing glanced at him with tears, clenched the iron lock with both hands, and glanced at Shen Cuttlefish again and said, "I will only do this one way, you, just look at it yourself!" With that, he pulled out the Bai Ze sword from his waist, tied it to a section of the iron lock, held it in his hand, flew up, shouted softly, and threw it towards the cliff suddenly.
Bai Ze's sword pierced the sky, the wind hunted, with a white light, straight into the stake of the opposite cliff, Bai Xing tearfully pulled the iron lock again, and after confirming that it was fixed, he stepped on the iron lock, turned back to the three and smiled: "I'll go first, everyone, if you have the guts, just follow." As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the iron lock without looking back.
The howling cold wind did not have any effect on Bai Xing Tears, I saw her concentrating and holding her breath, preoccupied, her eyes always fell on the distance of three feet in front of her toes, her arms were spread, she kept her balance, three steps and two steps, and gradually accelerated her pace, her toes were a little more frequent on the iron cable, the iron lock was straight and there was no change, Shen Cuttlefish looked stunned, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Xing Tears arrived on the other side of the cliff. Turning around, he shouted to Shen and the three of them, "What?
Pei Jingnian was about to walk on the iron cable, and before leaving, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Shen Cuttlefish: "If Shen Gongzi doesn't dare to take this iron lock, he may be able to ride a horse around the road, return to Yanzhou Mansion from here, and then go north for more than 80 miles, and take the official road to the northwest for more than 100 miles, and you can meet me in Zhongtianfu City." After that, she also stepped on the iron lock and walked over steadily, but her light skills were higher, her arms were not spread, she was attached to her side, and stepped over the iron lock quickly.
Only Mingjue and Shen Cuttlefish were left, and Shen Cuttlefish pulled Mingjue's monk robe and said, "Mingjue, otherwise...... You and I will go on a detour. Shen Cuttlefish really didn't have the courage to walk on this extremely steep chain bridge, he had no light skills, no comparison with others, but he couldn't save face, grinning awkwardly, just wanted to find a companion, and he wouldn't be ashamed. But Mingjue smiled and pushed away Shen Cuttlefish's hand and said, "Thank you Shen Gongzi for your concern, the little monk still has this bit of guts." ”
After that, the monk stepped on the iron lock with his left foot, and flew up with his right foot, and stepped a few steps in mid-air, and the wind and clouds arose under his feet, and the monk's robe flew away, turning over three or four somersaults in a row, and fell to the opposite bank in the blink of an eye, during which he never touched the iron lock again, which shows that his light skill is the highest among the four. Seeing this, Shen Cuttlefish muttered in a low voice: "This stinky monk ......"
"Hey, Shen Cuttlefish, you can't come! If you don't come again, we'll go first, you better go on a detour......" Bai Xing shouted loudly with tears in his throat, and the sound of speech was mixed with the sound of the wind, lingering in Shen Cuttlefish's brain. His brain was hot, his heart was horizontal, he clenched his teeth, clenched his fists and said, "I am also a famous teacher, how can I be afraid of the little iron lock bridge?"
But as soon as I stepped on the iron lock, I regretted it a little, and it was better to take a long detour. But if he retreats at this time, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed by Bai Xing Tears for the rest of his life, and for the sake of face and dignity, he will have to bite the bullet. Two trembling strands, the feet are weak, unable to exert strength, the feet are light, the top of the head is heavy, the body seems to be unstoppably swaying, the mind is blank, the eyes can't help but fall down, swaying, the heart is in the throat.
Pei Jingnian saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Shen Gongzi! Look up at the front, don't look at the feet! Spread your arms to keep your balance, concentrate your breath, don't be in a trance!" Shen Cuttlefish reacted at this time, hurriedly did so, stabilized his shaking figure, closed his eyes and began to take a deep breath, and suddenly felt much more steady, and in the blink of an eye, he walked like a fly, and he was about to cross the chain bridge.
But when there was still a distance of six feet from the opposite cliff, Shen Cuttlefish suddenly slipped under his feet, his body was crooked, and he planted down, before he could shout, Bai Xingtear instantly pulled out the Bai Ze sword that was inserted in the log stake, put the sword into the sheath, held it in his hand, and handed it to the Shen cuttlefish, Pei Jingnian also hurriedly made a move, grabbed the broken iron lock and threw it down, Shen Cuttlefish grabbed Bai Zejian with his left hand, and clutched the iron lock with his right hand. The two girls worked together and pulled Shen cuttlefish up.
Shen Cuttlefish, who had just wandered around the Ghost Gate Pass and picked up a life, sat on the edge of the cliff panting heavily, hot beads of sweat rolled down, his face was pale, and steaming hot, Bai Xing hung the long sword back on his waist, Pei Jingnian threw the iron lock aside, and sighed: "It seems that the merchants who are going to walk here in the future will have to go around hundreds of miles in the future." "Destroying bridges is a sin. Mingjue also shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, you all care about the bridge, no one cares about me, I almost went to see Hades......" Shen Cuttlefish touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and asked with a wry smile. But Bai Xingxian didn't care about it, and gently kicked his thigh with his toes, and said, "You're okay, where is so much nonsense, it's really hypocritical." If you miss the time to enter Zhongtianfu City, you will have to sleep on the streets again. There may not be a cold discarded pearl outside Zhongtian Mansion. ”
The four of them rested for a moment and then continued to walk forward. Shen Cuttlefish looked at the Golden Lotus Flying Needle and the Golden Lotus Bone Duo token lying in his palm, and said to himself: "What is their identity, what sect and faction, and what does this Golden Lotus represent? Who ......is the mastermind behind their scenes?" Pei Jingnian heard this, turned back to him and smiled at him and said: "Shen Gongzi, don't be anxious, you will definitely be able to find out." ”
"Miss Pei, did you take it true that you saw this thing when you were doing business?" Shen Cuttlefish seemed to have caught a clue and asked happily. Pei Jingnian nodded and said: "Yes, I do feel familiar, I have also met people with this token when I was handling cases before, but what is engraved on him is not the word Cen, but a square word." "Fangzi, what does this mean......" Shen Cuttlefish fell into endless doubts again.
Bai Xing clenched his arms, glanced at Shen Cuttlefish who was full of doubts, snorted lightly, and said: "It's really stupid, don't you forget, above the auditorium, Qiu Tianqiu once asked Leng Qizhu and Qiu Li to meet Uncle Cen, which shows that your enemy's surname is Cen, there is more than one golden lotus bone, your enemy is an organization, and the name engraved on the golden lotus bone is used as a token of identification, and the prisoner that Miss Pei has captured is surnamed Fang, so she engraved a square character." ”
"That's right!" Shen Cuttlefish suddenly realized, and smiled happily, "The little orange is really clever!" But Bai Xingxian disdained his praise and snorted coldly. Shen Cuttlefish continued: "In this way, as long as you torture that prisoner, won't you be able to know the organization behind it?" "Are we going back to Anhuai?" Mingjue's question, the four of them all stopped.
Not only Shen Cuttlefish, but even Bai Xing's tears changed their faces, and in their hearts, their minds were different. Pei Jingnian smiled and said: "No need, not to mention that you can't enter the Anhuai Mansion, even if you enter, it will be useless." "What do you mean by that?" asked Shen Cuttlefish hurriedly.
Pei Jingnian explained: "That person was involved in thirteen murder cases, the crime was extremely heinous, I chased him for seven days and seven nights, and finally united with the head catchers of the state capital along the way to arrest him, and escorted him back to Anhuai Mansion to await trial." But since this person was escorted back to Anhuai Mansion, he didn't say a word, and only found the golden lotus bone from him, and no matter what punishment was used, he couldn't let him speak. It wasn't until one day when he was interrogated again that he found out that the guards and the prisoner had been killed, and that the case could only be hastily closed as soon as the murderer was dead. Therefore he is long gone, and you will not be able to find out. ”
"Hey, I didn't expect this last clue to be broken. Shen Cuttlefish sighed lightly, shook his head, put away the golden lotus flying needle and bones, and his face was full of melancholy. But Pei Jingnian comforted him and said: "As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, so there is no need to be so worried, heaven and earth have their own right way." Shen Cuttlefish chuckled lightly and shook his head secretly.
After walking for a while, bypassing the snow trees and shrubs, strange rocks and silver flowers, passing through the snowy path, against the cold wind, Shen Cuttlefish tightened the neckline of his shirt, and suddenly asked: "Hey, I left early, I don't know what happened to the Leng Gongzi and Miss Qiu? How did you chase here?" Bai Xingxian and the three of them looked at each other, all of them looked solemn, but seeing that Shen Cuttlefish was so curious, Bai Xingxian had no choice but to tell Shen Cuttlefish about Qiu Li's suicide and cold abandonment of the bead hanging beam.
After hearing this, Shen Cuttlefish couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Hey, it's really unfair in the world, God has no eyes, and it is difficult for a lover to become a family, but in the end he ended up like this." It's pitiful that even the corpses are difficult to bury......"
