Chapter 17: Entering Qingyun Town
Early the next morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, Pan Xiaolian kicked open the room where Xue Zha was sleeping with a small leather whip.
"Senior brother, let's go, dozens of cakes and a bamboo tube of pickles have been put on my horseback, let's go and walk quickly, and strive to go to Qingyun Town to sleep tonight." ”
Xue Zhe opened his eyes slowly, he kept looking at Pan Xiaolian in the process of opening his eyes, and he could judge from the woman's unremarkable face: Eighty percent came to kill him last night without her!
Xue Zha got up from the bed covered with straw mats, Pan Xiaolian saw blood stains in the corner of her eyes, and she had to look back carefully, and was directly pushed out by Xue Zha's shoulders.
"Gone sister, did you take out my horse?"
Xue Zha didn't have time to feel the smoothness of Pan Xiaolian's fragrant shoulders, and since last night, he remembered a bad sentence in his previous life - the rivers and lakes are sinister.
Now he no longer thinks about what kind of date Qian Duoduo arranged, he doesn't even believe Qian Duoduo's short and fat old man who looks very gentle and easy to talk, "Could it be him? Otherwise, how did Xu Zhiyuan invite Elder Wu?"
With all kinds of thoughts, Xue Zha and Pan Xiaolian both drove away. They ate and drank on horseback, and they didn't stop for half a minute along the way.
Xue Zha was afraid that Elder Wu and another person would learn that he was still alive to chase and kill, while Pan Xiaolian was out of a woman's habit and wanted to find an inn to take a bath in Qingyun Town at night.
The two hurried slowly, and in the middle of the night, they finally saw three big red lanterns hanging from a large willow tree at the head of the village.
Three red lanterns hung on a tree trunk and swayed gently in the wind, and on them hung down to the ground, each with three words written on them: "Qingyun Town".
Pan Xiaolian and Xue Zha began to slow down, and when they arrived under the tree, the two horses just changed from running to slowing.
An old man with a lantern flashed out from behind the tree wearing an unbuttoned red cloth coat, and his two owl-like eyes glanced at the two of them, just from the appearance of Pan Xiaolian and Xue Zha, he could estimate the way the two came from.
"From Yunhong Mountain?"
Pan Xiaolian tightened the reins in his hand, he nodded to the old man, took out his identity token and lit it up, and pointed to Xue Zha on horseback on the side and said: "We are the junior brother and sister of Qian Duoduo, the head of Yunhongshan, I heard that something tricky happened to you, and we are here to help." ”
The old man with the lantern guessed the intention of these two people, he thought of what the patriarch explained to him, and said with a smile: "Please go back, the affairs of the Li family in our Qingyun Town, we can handle it ourselves, and we don't need the help of Yunhongshan's colleagues." ”
Pan Xiaolian's eyebrows furrowed, she didn't expect an old thing to be a gatekeeper at the entrance of the town would dare to talk to her like this.
When the old man saw that her face was different, he took two steps back cautiously, and he took the wrist of the lantern around, as if he was ready to throw it out and into the darkness.
At this time, Xue Zha urged the horse to Pan Xiaolian's side, and he whispered, "Senior sister, why do I think people don't welcome us." ”
Pan Xiaolian glared at him, and said in her heart: This is still your nonsense.
But right now, she and Xue Zhe received the task of going to Qingyun Town to find that senior brother, if they can't even enter the town, how will the rest of the things be carried out?
Pan Xiaolian was pondering, and Xue Zha urged the horse to take two steps forward.
He beckoned to the old man with the lantern: "Hey, old man, we have been on the road for a day, and we arrived at you in the middle of the night, and we didn't even give a sip of water......
The old man frowned, he felt that Xue Zha was more difficult to deal with than Pan Xiaolian, but the things that the patriarch had explained must be completed, and he was going to attack these two disciples of Yunhongshan today, and he couldn't let the two of them enter Qingyun Town.
Just when the old man had just finished his psychological construction, Xue Zhe had already said something slowly and leisurely: "Look at this moon, it's all hanging above your head, you don't let us sleep in the town so late, can you let us sleep in the wilderness?"
The old man thought that Xue Zha wanted to reason with him, anyway, as long as he didn't enter the town, he would be happy to delay time, so he would talk to him.
Xue Zha suddenly said very quickly: [Huangliang a dream].
The old man just secretly screamed that it was not good, and he was going to throw out the horse lantern to resist one or two.
The idiom power of Xue Zha on the opposite side had already been activated, and a burst of white cloud smoke appeared out of thin air, enveloping the old man in an instant.
The old man struggled for a moment, and then sat down on the ground with a grin, as if he had fallen into such a dream that people did not want to wake up, and his face was always getting thicker and thicker.
"Let's go, sister, people's hostility is so obvious, let's be polite, just do it." ”
Xue Zha said, he turned over and dismounted.
Pan Xiaolian originally felt that Xue Zha's hand was a little frizzy, but after listening to his explanation, she felt reasonable, but now seeing him running towards the trunk of the big willow tree with the reins of the horse, Pan Xiaolian, who didn't understand what he wanted to do, asked directly: "Are you ......?"
"People don't want us to go into town, so we're still riding da-da-da...... The sound of horses' hooves can be heard from far away, isn't it waiting to be discovered?"
Xue Zhe naturally knew what Pan Xiaolian wanted to ask, and while tying the reins of the horse to the trunk, he turned his head and explained to him and said, "What are you doing in a daze, sister, are you still going to ride in on a horse?"
After Pan Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, she snorted and did the same.
After the two walked into Qingyun Town in the dark, Xue Zha lowered his voice and asked: "Sister, will you hide the idiom of the traces, if you come back and meet them patrolling the night here, let's hide them first, and then use the idiom to cook them after being discovered." ”
Pan Xiaolian didn't speak, she nodded slightly in agreement.
At this time, Xue Zha quietly floated forward onto a roof, and seeing half of his side face through the moonlight, Pan Xiaolian suddenly felt: This kid is really a little handsome.
Pan Xiaolian grew up on Yunhong Mountain since she was a child, although she also learned some idioms from the head of Yunhong Mountain in the previous generation, and her spiritual cultivation method was also excellent, but she never left Yunhong Mountain, and no young male disciple dared to approach her because of her identity in the mountain gate, carefully calculated, this is the first time Pan Xiaolian has gone out of the mountain, and it is also the first time to approach a young man for such a long time.
Her mind drifted somewhere, and her cheeks began to redden.
When Xue Zhe, who was lying on the roof and observing the surroundings, turned around to greet her, she happened to see this scene, the scene of the little daughter's reverie, and this guy who had never been in contact with a woman was a little stunned.
The four eyes of the two of them were in the air, as if they had been electrified, and each of them trembled, and they turned their faces to look elsewhere.
Pan Xiaolian asked, "What did you find?"
Xue Zha replied: "I didn't find anything, I don't know the address of that senior brother." ”
"Then I'll lead the way......"
Pan Xiaolian didn't know if she was shy, her red lips hurriedly opened and spit out an idiom: [Snake Walking Scale Dive], in an instant, her figure turned into a thin snake and crawled forward, because of the special crawling method, so she didn't make a sound when she rubbed on the stone road in the town, and she disappeared in a moment, and Xue Zha couldn't see the Feihong cheeks on her face anymore.
Xue Zha shook his head, shook his hand and snapped his fingers and said, "[Sneaking and Disappearing], and in an instant, he slowly followed Pan Xiaolian's pace like a shadow.
The two of them quietly touched the south of Qingyun Town under the moonlight, and met several night patrols along the way, but as long as the two of them were still and hidden in the dark, even a large number of night patrol teams with torches and lanterns would be extremely difficult to spot.
It took more than an hour, and the two finally found the plaque at the gate of a courtyard in the south of Qingyun Town, where the senior brother sent a message to the mountain gate.
"Frost and Snow Cold Gate".
Xue Zha saw the four gold lacquer characters crookedly engraved on the black plaque, he pursed his lips and said, "It's really sassy, it's still 'frost and snow', why don't you call it 'Aomei'?"
