Chapter 312: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

Hu Qiong asked, "I'm worried about my life again?"

Zhang Ruoying said: "Yes, you have offended the local evil forces. ”

Hu Qiong said: "I rescued more than a dozen captive girls in the east of Qiyang County, they were sold to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I looked at them pitiful, and couldn't help but rescue." ”

"If you ruin other people's good deeds, of course they won't let you go. ”

Hu Qiong said: "Madam, are you very familiar with them? You took me to ask them for a favor, I didn't mean to offend them. ”

Zhang Ruoying walked to the window, the bright moonlight outside the window was bright, sprinkled in the flower forest, frost and snow, and the white flowers bloomed in the mist, delicate and clean. Zhang Ruoying looked at the white flower and said, "I don't know them, it was Liu Xiake who told me, saying that you are worried about your life, I am afraid that you will be obsessed with this matter, so I will persuade you to leave here quickly." ”

Hu Qiong asked, "Was it Liu Xia Ke who rescued him last time?"

"No, he's not that capable yet. ”

Hu Qiong said: "I thank Madame for saving me this time. I know what to do. ”

Hu Qiong said goodbye and left, but Mrs. Hengnan did not stay, but just told him to leave quickly in case of accidents.

Hu Qiong left the villa and hurried towards Yongzhou City. ran seven or eight miles away, suddenly, a sword flashed cold light and stabbed at him, Hu Qiong turned around sharply, only to see this person, it was a chivalrous man surnamed Liu.

Hu Qiong shouted, "What enmity do I have against you?

That Liu Yiwu said: "You don't know whether you are alive or dead, and you meet Ruoying again." ”

Hu Qiong said: "Thank you too." ”

"Thank me?"

Hu Qiong said: "Didn't you inquire about someone who wanted to kill me, and you told Mrs. Hengnan and asked her to inform me to leave quickly?"

Liu Yiwu scratched his scalp and muttered: "I did this, and my memory is getting worse and worse." ”

Liu Yiwu regarded Hu Qiong as a rival in love, and in anger, he wanted to kill him. But he is a disciple of the Wudang Sword School, taught by the master since childhood, based on chivalry, although now he is trapped by love, his conscience is not clear, when he gets Hu Qiong's life, he still can't bear it, so he handed a letter to Mrs. Hengnan, and by the way, he did a personal favor to please Ruoying.

Hu Qiong asked: "The last time I was moved to the boat on the river by someone Ma Ma, it was also for Liu Xiake?"

Liu Yiwu said: "I don't dare to be greedy for this, it's not my doing." ”

Hu Qiong asked: "Do Liu Xiake know where this group is? I have offended them, so it is better to explain it to them in person." ”

Liu Yiwu said: "I don't know either. In short, you hurry up, the farther away the better, and the farther away from Ruoying as possible. ”

Hu Qiong saw that he couldn't get the result, so he had to say: "Thank you", turned around and ran. ran to Yongzhou City in one breath, turned over and entered the inn, entered the room, and fell asleep.

On the second day, Hu Qiong took the initiative to go to the teahouse to drink tea and ask people, but there was a group of people who abducted and sold girls? Everyone showed a look of surprise and said, "I haven't heard of this matter." ”

The other person was even more angry, slapped the table and shouted: "How could I have done such a hurtful thing from Yongzhou? Where are you from? Running here and talking nonsense?"

Hu Qiong had no choice but to leave the teahouse and wander the streets. Then he went to the county office, gave him a few pennies, invited him to tea, and asked him, but someone reported the case and said that the girl in the family had been taken captive?

Hu Qiong knew that he couldn't ask the result, so he just startled the snake to attract the attention of this gang of wicked people, and there would be action at night.

In the evening, during dinner, Hu Qiong tried that the food was non-toxic, so she was relieved to eat it. At night, Hu Qiong lay on the bed, pretending to be asleep, the summer insects chirping outside the window, all the sounds were silent, and the breeze was blowing.

Until the second half of the night, Hu Qiong was a little disappointed. At this moment, two masked people jumped down from the wall, rushed to the window, jumped into the room, and one of them slashed at Hu Qiong.

Hu Qiong said "oops", turned over and dodged, kicked away, and the person dodged, Hu Qiong got out of bed, pulled out a long sword from the head of the bed, and prepared to meet the enemy. When the two saw that Hu Qiong was prepared, they raised their knives and slashed at him. The room was cramped, and Hu Qiong struck first, stabbing a person in the chest with a sword. The man dodged, Hu Qiong took this opportunity and jumped out of the window to escape. The two chased after them from behind.

Hu Qiong turned around and ran to the front of the inn and shouted, "Come on...... Help......"

In the silence of the night, Hu Qiong's scream was like a night bird's strange cry, which startled the guests in the inn to wake up. The fast-moving man had already run out of the room, and sure enough, he saw two masked men with bright knives, slaying at a tenant with a bright knife, and he screamed loudly, which attracted more tenants to run out. Seeing that it was not the law, the two masked men turned around and fled from the inn.

The shopkeeper came in a panic and hurriedly asked what was going on? Hu Qiong didn't answer, and naturally the other tenants shouted: "Oh no, there are robbers who have come to make money and kill them." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, the security in our city is the best." ”

The tenants said, "We all saw it with our own eyes, how can we have a fake?"

Someone said meanly: "Could it be that this store is a black store?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his hands and said, "That robber has nothing to do with this shop." ”

Hu Qiong said: "I almost lost my life." ”

The shopkeeper said: "As soon as it dawns tomorrow morning, I will report to the official." Everyone, everyone, go back to your room and sleep, and I'll keep watch all night. ”

The tenants reluctantly returned to the house and continued to sleep.

Before dawn the next day, the shopkeeper went to report to the official. When the sun rose, two people walked into the hotel, surveyed around, and did not say any results, and finally took Hu Qiong and a few tenants to the mansion, and the prefect personally questioned and made a record, and to Hu Qiong and others, the government must send additional people to investigate the matter and arrest these two masked robbers who broke into the house and killed people.

Hu Qiong walked back to the inn. In the afternoon, Liu Xianping came to visit, and the two muttered a few times before going out of the city. Liu Xianping said: "I followed these two people last night and followed them to the Wangshun Mountain in the west, and they disappeared, as if they had gone underground. I discussed with the master of the ship, and we will go to Wangshun Mountain to search now, if I don't believe it, the two of them will go underground. ”

Hu Qiong said: "I heard the girl say that it is nearby, I think it is not far away, it is said that there is a hole, there is a river, in a pit with steep walls on all sides, I think it really went into the ground." ”

Liu Xianping said: "Heaven and earth, we must also find out them." ”

The two of them came to the west to look at Shun Mountain, only to see that Wangshun Mountain stretched across the western sky, with chaotic peaks and clouds, and white mist. Walking to the foot of the mountain, the monk who set off the boat leaned on the Zen staff and stood there waiting. The three of them rendezvous. Come to the mountains of Shun. Walking past a house, the peasant family saw that the three of them were only walking towards the mountain, so he hurriedly walked over, stopped the three of them, and said, "You three are all outsiders, right? It was a forbidden place in Yongzhou. ”

Liu Xianping asked, "What's weird?"

The farmer said: "The mountains are filled with miasma and poisonous mist, and people who enter it will immediately get sick and die, and there is no cure." There are also poisonous snakes and monsters, which eat people's brains, and if you can't get in, you should go back quickly. ”

Liu Xianping said: "What is weird! I want to break in." ”

The farmer just stopped Liu Xianping and the others, and resolutely refused to take a step forward.

The three of them could not bear the kindness of the peasant, thanked him, turned around, and walked down the mountain. The farmer was still standing on the hill, watching the three of them walk away responsibly.

The three of them walked more than ten miles before they turned around and walked towards the mountain, bypassing the house and walking up the mountain from another mountain road.

As the peasants said, there was no road on the mountain, and they walked along a dry mountain stream, which led the three to another fork in the road. The fork in the road, which was a cart wide and smooth in the past, is now potholed and overgrown with grass. The road was built along a stream that flowed so that stones from the mountains rolled down into the river, and the water hit the stones and splashed the snow. The three of them are bold and walk inward, the peaks on both sides are inserted into the clouds, the cliffs are thousands of hiro, the waterfalls are flying, and the scenery is picturesque. If it weren't for the danger ahead, this mountain stream would be a great place.

After walking for more than 20 miles, I came to the end of the mountain stream, and at the end of the ravine, there was a temple, covered by ancient pines, and it was still neat. The monk said: "This Wangshun Mountain, there are no people for dozens of miles, but this ancient temple is still neat, it must be weird!"

The three of them were frightened, hid behind the boulder, and peeked towards the ancient temple. The ancient temple is surrounded by mountain peaks on three sides, the peaks are connected, there is no way to enter the mountain, the stream water flows out from the back of the temple, flows happily from the left wall of the temple, and flows until it comes to the feet of the three people.
