The next morning, when Alayanzong reheated the remaining medicinal soup from the previous night, the middle-aged woman had already arrived, carrying the medicine jar and following Alayanzong to the homes of the patients.

The patient took the medication.

Alayanzong was re-examined one by one, and all patients improved. Especially the strong man, his breathing was much softer, and he was no longer so impetuous.

Soon after Alayanzong returned to the gray-clothed old man's house, the demon spirit Qingfeng came down the mountain, followed by two followers.

Three people, five horses.

As soon as they met, the demon spirit Qingfeng clenched his fists and said: "Qingfeng has come to invite the young man, and he also invites the young man to move up the mountain." ”

Alayanzong clenched his fists and saluted back, "If you have to trouble the second village master to come to greet you, then you will have to work." ”

Seeing that the demon spirit Qingfeng still had a white cloth wrapped around his left hand, he said again: "The second master of the second village who was injured is really ashamed, and I blame me for not knowing the severity of my shot." How is the second villager's injury now?"

Demon Spirit Qingfeng smiled: "It's okay to have a small injury, it's just a little bruised, it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, it will be fine after a few days, and the young man doesn't need to worry about it." ”

"I'm a doctor, so I'd better take a look at the master of the second village and change some medicine. ”

After that, the Alayan Sect was going to show the demon spirit Qingfeng a hand injury.

Demon Spirit Qingfeng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I've already taken the medicine, it's okay, it's okay." As he spoke, he raised his left hand and reversed his wrist to show that his left hand was flexible.

Alayanzong and Ula Peach packed their luggage, said goodbye to the gray-clothed old man, and followed the demon spirit Qingfeng to ride up the mountain.

The mountain road up the mountain is slightly steep. The front three rode in parallel, followed by two retinues.

The horse's hooves clatter, and the stone face is lightly treaded. The five horses were not in a hurry, winding along the rugged mountain road.

On the west side, the mountain wall is steep, and the knife and axe carving generally go straight into the sky, which is unattainable and even majestic. Even if the Alayan Sect is good at climbing cliffs, he can only sigh at this peak, and he has no idea where to start.

On the east side, it is full of green vegetation. When you first go up the mountain, there are only a few dwarf shrubs, and when you go further into the mountain, there is a forest, the trees are tall and tall, mostly pines and cypresses.

From time to time, a flock of birds will fly out of the forest, chirp and soar in the air, hover for a while, and then fall into the forest area again.

The path up the mountain is not wide, but it is flat, with only a few scattered gravel scattered in between.

The group soon came to a small stream, which was so shallow that there were no horses' hooves, and a trickle of water meandered from west to east.

The horses stepped on the clear spring, crossed the stream, and the three of them dismounted.

The two attendants led the horses and led *** away.

Alayanzong and Ula Peach haven't understood what is going on yet, and they can't see the Zhaimen or the figure in front of them, why did they dismount?

Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, Demon Spirit Qingfeng pointed to the mountain peak in front of him and said:

"The strange peaks of the Devil Peak Ridge are steep, the two of you come here as a guest, if you don't watch it, wouldn't it be a pity? ”

After that, he took the lead in the first step, and Alayanzong and Ulan Peach followed closely.

All the way north, around a boulder, the scenery changes dramatically.

I saw that the two cliff peaks in front of each other, the cliff wall was close to each other, and only one person was allowed to pass, this is the real line of sky!

Compared to the line of heaven in the canyon that Alayanzong passed by when he went to the fishing village, it was much narrower.

The Demon Spirit Qingfeng led the way in front, and the Alayan Sect and the Peach of Ula followed closely. Three people walked through the bottom of the cliff, sometimes on their sideways, barely making their way through.

The cliff crack is about dozens of zhang long, and when I walk inside, I feel as if the two mountain walls are about to close, and I feel very depressed.

Walking out of the first line of heaven, the demon spirit Qingfeng turned around and smiled:

"Into the cottage, this is the nearest road. When we arrived at the cottage, the horses could not arrive, so the two attendants had to ride around the mountain. ”

Alayanzong sighed: "This is the pass of the cottage. ”

Ula Peach looked back at the sky and exclaimed: "Curiosity is so dangerous!"

Demon Spirit Qingfeng explained: "If there is a war, someone wants to attack the cottage, and the pass is blocked here with rocks, and one person can guard it here." ”

Alayanzong said with a smile: "If you put firewood at the pass, it will burn, even the gods will not be able to pass!"

Demon Spirit Qingfeng laughed, "Young heroes have more plans!"

Alayanzong suddenly asked again: "Isn't the route taken by those horses much smoother than here, how can they guard it?"

Demon Spirit Qingfeng smiled mysteriously: "Although the place where the horses walk is flat, they have to go through the cave when they enter the mountain. There is a mechanism in the cave, which is guarded all year round. If someone comes to the cottage, you can't get by from there. ”

"Oh!" Alayanzong was even more surprised, "It seems that the terrain of the cottage is unique and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this is also a miracle of God!"

"Hahaha!" Demon Spirit Qingfeng smiled heartily again: "The terrain is steep, naturally it is a natural condition, but those organs were designed and added after the master of the village arrived at the cottage." ”

When Alayanzong heard this, he felt that the master of the village was a mysterious person with a certain talent.

"Hearing what the second village master said, I want to be in a hurry to meet this big village master. ”

Demon Spirit Qingfeng said: "Don't worry, young man, we'll see you soon." The master of Dazhai has already prepared a banquet and waited for the young man. ”

"Hahaha! The lord of the village is really high. ”

"The master of Dazhai is a person who cherishes talents, not to mention that the young man is a chivalrous man, so he will naturally not slack off. The two thieves who stole the horses are really different from the young man!"

"The second village master praised it. Speaking of the two thieves, the two lords said that they had come to steal horses from the village, and that the pass was so steep that they could steal the horses?"

Demon Spirit Qingfeng laughed even more heartily, "It's all a joke. Usually this is not guarded, so the two of them can enter the mountain. Even if they are skilled, it is actually difficult for them to get into the village. ”

Hearing this, the Alayan sect was even more surprised, "Oh, they can't enter the cottage, how can they steal the horses?"

"It's a coincidence. Several gatekeepers herd horses outside the cottage. On weekdays, no outsiders came, so they went back to the village to rest, and let the horses graze in the mountains, so that the two thieves could take advantage of it. ”

Alayanzong suddenly realized, "It turned out to be a sycophant who was stolen outside the village." But can they get out?"

"Of course I can't get out. Shaoxia also saw that this first-line Pegasus couldn't get by. But the two thieves didn't know the other way out of the mountain, so they led their horses here, and when they saw the guards chasing them, they had to abandon their horses and flee. ”

Alayanzong and Ula Peach couldn't help but laugh.

Demon Spirit Qingfeng continued: "First, there were guards chasing out of the sky, and the two thieves didn't dare to take the clear path, so they went into the forest. When I chased after the master of Sanzhai, I learned the direction of their escape, so I rode a horse and walked the mountain road, and waited in the bamboo forest, which was the only way. ”

"Hahaha!" Alayanzong laughed again, "The second and third masters are extremely familiar with the terrain of this place, and wherever they run, you will intercept them wherever they go, and naturally they can't avoid you." ”

With that, the three of them laughed in unison.

As he spoke, he came to the cottage.

The walled wall is made of stones, all modeled after the castle wall, about ten meters high, the gate is wide, and four carriages are enough to run in parallel.

The walled gate is made of logs, unusually thick and strong, but the walled door opens and closes silently.

The demon spirit Qingfeng whistled, the gate of the village opened, and the three of them stepped close to the village.

Entering the walled gate, a few horses were tied on one side, and four or five guards on the other side stood with their heads, like castle guards.
