Chapter Ninety-Six: The Arsenal of Heavenly Soldiers (4)
Xu Huchao was shocked when he heard someone call him, and when he saw that it was Tie Lang and Red Sleeves, he was surprised: "Brother Tie actually found this place too?"
When Tie Lang approached, Xu Huchuan and Tie Lang roughly told each other about what happened after the separation, and Xu Huchan heard that Kong Fang had committed suicide with the people for those treasures, and he couldn't help but be colorless.
In the end, he grabbed his hair in annoyance and smacked it a few times and said: "For the sake of the great cause of the Martial Pastoral Division, the Master of Confucius is so determined, we are still suspicious of him, and he really deserves death."
Tie Lang said: "The sacrifice of our predecessors is the greatest spur to us, if we ignore it, it will make them suffer the humiliation of giving their lives lightly."
Xu Huchuan nodded when he heard this and said, "We are about to revive the prestige of the Martial Musi, so that we can be worthy of the efforts of these ancestors who fought for their lives."
"I heard from the old man at the blacksmith shop that you've been here for a few days, why don't you go up to the peak?"
Xu Huchuan said with a smile on his face: "I'm ashamed to say that there are doubts on the road to the top, we have tried several times in the past three or four days, and we always come back here after going around and around."
Tie Lang couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "How can there be doubts in this mountain and wild trees?"
Xu Huchuan said: "Brother Tie doesn't know, this Vermilion Bird Hall is already good at clever craftsmanship and exquisite formations, presumably this formation was laid by the predecessors of the Vermilion Bird Hall before, but I couldn't learn the formation, so I couldn't crack it."
Red Sleeves and Tie Lang couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and Tie Lang said in his heart: If Qingque is here, maybe he can crack it, but I don't know where Qingque is now.
As soon as Tie Lang thought of Qingque, he thought of Ma Munan again, and then remembered Ma Kongyuan, so he said to Xu Huchao: "Boss Xu, I have been in Hangzhou for several months, and I have not found any trace of Ma Senior, you need to arrange someone to find Ma Seniors again after that."
Xu Huchuan nodded and said: "I have already abandoned the Karakura Hall, I just want to take root in Zhongtiao Mountain, but I didn't expect to be able to go to this Heavenly Soldier Peak, and I am at a loss" After speaking, he asked Tie Lang with a puzzled face: "How did Brother Tie find here?"
Tie Lang looked at the red sleeves, and the red sleeves took out the middle hall painting from his arms, Xu Huchuan looked at the middle hall painting for a long time before he said: "This painting is hanging in my hall every day, I didn't even think of it."
Redsleeves wondered, "Then how did you find here?"
Xu Huchao's face turned red and said: "I was able to get here, but someone sent a letter to inform me."
Tie Lang was shocked: "Someone wrote to inform me, that means that not only you and me know here, but there must be other people who know about this arsenal."
Red Sleeves took the letter that Xu Huchuan took out, and said with a smile: "I know who voted for this letter."
Xu Huchuan and Tie Lang asked at the same time, "Who?"
Red Sleeves pointed to the blacksmith shop on the map with the thunder character on the map in the letter and said: "This thunder character is the same as the thunder character penmanship of the blacksmith shop's signboard, who else can it be except the white-bearded old man?"
As soon as the words fell, an old haha voice sounded behind him: "You girl, you really can't be underestimated, this letter is indeed sent by my white-bearded old man"
When everyone turned to look, they saw the white-bearded old man in front of the blacksmith shop striding out from behind the tree, Tie Lang and Xu Huchuan went over to give a salute, and the old man hurriedly dodged and said: "The two of you are courteous, the little old man can't stand it."
After speaking, he turned his face to Red Sleeves and said, "Do you know my old man's name?"
Red sleeves said: "If you don't ask, I naturally don't know, if you ask now, I will know that you should be called Qu Lei, right?"
The old man was dumbfounded and said, "Hey, you really expected it."
Red Sleeves smiled: "If you don't ask, I naturally can't guess, if you ask, it means that I should be able to guess, if I can guess, then there is only the sentence in the poem, 'drive away the thunder and lightning, drive out this old monster in advance', so I guess the word Qu Lei"
The old man laughed and said, "The little old man is Qu Lei, the girl is so smart"
Xu Huchao couldn't help but smack his tongue and said: "The red-sleeved girl is so wise, really, it is really a blessing for my Wu Musi" He wanted to say that it was Tie Lang's luck, but he felt that Meng Lang was wrong, so he changed his words and said that it was Wu Musi's luck.
Tie Lang was more concerned about the meaning of this Qu Lei, so he said: "Thank you for the guidance of the seniors, I don't know if the seniors can give advice here?" Before he saw the old man showing him the way, he also said that it was the person left by Xu Huchao, but now he saw that Xu Huchan didn't even know this person, so he was a little vigilant.
Naqu Lei laughed and said: "Xu Huzi came over at night, when I don't know, in fact, even if you do it in Kaifeng, the old man can also see it all, and I came to tell you about the Tianbing Peak Arsenal today."
Xu Huchuan was shocked, but Red Sleeves smiled and said: "You even have ears and eyes in the Thirteen Eagles that day, what's so strange about this?"
Qu Lei laughed again: "You girl can't hide anything from you?"
Red sleeves pouted and said: "Gongzi and Murong Bu are fighting, if it is said that Huang Sheng knows, it is said that he is all over the world, always staring at the past that Murong Bu said." If Boss Xu hadn't come first to mention it to you, you wouldn't have known, but you did."
Tie Lang and Xu Huchao suddenly realized that the red sleeves were reasonable, Tie Lang reasoned a little and said: "Dare to ask the seniors what is the relationship with us, why do they help each other repeatedly"
Qu Lei said solemnly when he heard it: "The little old man is Pan Xiaoyao's old friend, and he only respects Pan Xiaoyao in his life."
Xu Huchuan heard this and hurriedly knelt down and said: "It turns out that the seniors are old friends of the mentors, and the juniors meet the seniors."
Qu Lei shook his head and said: "Pan Xiaoyao has been unruly all his life, he has never talked about any rules and regulations, but he has lost the fairy wind when he accepts an apprentice."
Xu Huchuan blushed and said nothing, and Tie Lang said: "The seniors can know the old things of the predecessors Pan"
Qu Lei nodded and said: "I once advised him not to take care of these things in the world, but after all, he had some utilitarian intentions, and he didn't listen to me, so he pulled me in."
Xu Huchao's face was cloudy and uncertain, and said: "My teacher just has the world in mind, not the utilitarian heart that his predecessors said."
Qu Lei snorted and said, "If I hadn't seen that this Martial Musi really had the merit of safeguarding the common people in the world, would you say that I would take care of your?"
Tie Lang listened to it and said, "Thank you seniors for your help, dare to ask your seniors if you know the road to the peak?"
Qu Lei squinted at Tie Lang and said, "You are alone, why are you in a hurry to go to Heavenly Soldier Peak?"
Tie Lang said: "Wu Mu Si is now weak, and he has been frequently cleared by the imperial court, so I am waiting here to ask for a place to recuperate, recover my vitality, and do the things that Wu Mu is doing in the wild."
Qu Lei's face was slightly pale, and he nodded: "I see that you are acting quite steadily, and this plan is also decent, so I will help you again."
It turned out that Qu Lei was a famous swordsmith in Shanshen Town, Pan Lang got acquainted with him when he built the arsenal in Zhongtiao Mountain, and later the Wu Mu Division declined, Pan Lang and others were afraid that the arsenal would be accidentally leaked, and the years of hard work were in vain, and the road to the summit of the Heavenly Soldier Peak was sealed.
Before Pan Lang left, he begged Qu Lei to look at this Heavenly Soldier Peak, Qu Lei often scoffed at this martial arts and pastoralism, but he couldn't help Pan Lang's begging, so he agreed.
Qu Lei later heard that this master of the Martial Pastoral Division was not in the inner courtyard of the palace overnight, and he couldn't help but sigh for these people, and finally remembered Pan Lang's entrustment in his heart, so he privately inquired about the remnants of the Martial Pastoral Division, and even secretly sent his son to Tianwuwei to assist in the investigation, and it took two years to find out some information.
Qu Lei always felt that he was old, maybe one day he would leave and return to the west, then the Heavenly Soldier Peak would become an unsolvable mystery, so he wrote a letter to Xu Huchao and invited him to come, just to hand over this arsenal, which can be regarded as a matter of heart.
When Xu Huchuan came, he just wanted to see this Xu Huchao's catties, so he didn't show up, until Tie Lang came, he saw that Tie Lang had peerless martial arts, and the red sleeves also had the intelligence of being born, so he settled down a little, and felt that the time had come to hand over the Heavenly Soldier Peak, so he followed.
Qu Lei led everyone up the mountain, but on the way, he whispered to Tie Lang and Xu Huchao about the general things on the Heavenly Soldier Peak: "On this Heavenly Soldier Peak, there are four holes, namely the Instrument Hall, the Weapons Hall, the Grain and Grass Hall, and the Carriage and Horse Hall."
Xu Hu was surprised and said: "There is still grain and grass on this mountain, chariots and horses?" The implication is that this mountain is sealed, if there is grain, grass, chariots and horses, it is not already decaying and dying.
Qu Lei glanced at Xu Huchao and said, "How did Pan Xiaoyao accept such a stupid apprentice as you?"
Seeing Xu Hu's red face and red ears, the red sleeves bowed his head and said silently: "You old man, it makes no sense, you found some people from the town to take care of this Tianbing Peak, only you know, Boss Xu should have questions."
Qu Lei turned his face and looked at Red Sleeves with a smile and said, "Why do you know that there are people on this Heavenly Soldier Peak?"
"Yesterday, we asked the shopkeeper's Xiao Er how to go to the Heavenly Soldier Peak, Xiao Er once said that some ancestors came to this Heavenly Soldier Peak to mine, and did not go back, presumably it was Pan Senior's plan" Red Sleeves This time it was pure speculation.
Qu Lei laughed and said, "Go up and take a look."
Qu Lei walked ahead, and saw that Red Sleeves was holding a short sword in his hand and constantly making marks along the way, but he didn't stop it, just looked at it with a smile.
The Heavenly Soldier Peak is towering into the clouds, not that it is higher than the peak of the Shun King, but the peak is relatively high from the arsenal, and there are four tall and wide stone caves under the Heavenly Soldier Peak as Qu Lei said, and there is a valley about two miles under the stone cave, the cooking smoke is curling, the chickens and dogs smell each other, and there are really people.
When Qu Lei arrived at the village, he punched the gong hanging from the crooked neck tree at the entrance of the village, and then he heard a noise, and more than 200 men, women, and children rushed out of the village, all holding swords and wearing battle armor.
Qu Lei laughed and said: "Look at this formation, my second child is not deserted"
As he was talking, an old man who looked like Qu Lei and had white hair rushed to the entrance of the village with everyone, and when he saw Qu Lei and the others, he also laughed and said: "I said that there was a foreign enemy who arrived, but it turned out that my brother had arrived."
Red Sleeves couldn't help but smile when he saw two identical white-bearded old men: "Could this old man be Qu Dian?"
Qu Lei and his brother were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then Qu Lei laughed and said: "I said that you are a girl with great powers, but there are times when you are wrong this time."
Brother Qu Lei laughed and said: "The old man's name is Qu Chang, please everyone."
Qu Lei introduced Qu Changzai to Tie Lang and others, and said that Tie Lang and others knew Qu Changzai. Qu Chang couldn't help but turn red when he heard this: "The old man only said that he couldn't wait for another person from the Wu Mu Division to come in this life, but he didn't expect to come today."
