Chapter 150: A Narrow Road Encounter
When Wu Xing returned to Songyan Temple, it was already the middle of the night.
At three o'clock, the gentleman rarely did not sleep, he sat at the stone table in the center of the courtyard, poured a glass of wine and raised it alone.
In the early spring of March, the night breeze was slightly cold, blowing up Cheng Yanqiu's thin sleeves, he looked up at the direction of his hand raised, a bright moon hung in the sky, he murmured, "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon......"
Drinking all the wine in the cup, Cheng Yanqiu hissed, it seemed that he was choked in too much hurry, and coughed lightly, only to find Wu Xing standing at the door, he said casually, "I'm back." ”
Wu Xing nodded, walked in, and also looked at the sky, the inky night sky, the stars were dim, and there was only a full moon scorching its light, she asked softly, "Does Mr. like her?"
Like...... She?
Who do you like?
Cheng Yanqiu's alcohol-paralyzed brain reacted a little sluggishly, did you mean Qiu Yueci? He shook his head, "I don't know." ”
A generation of beauties, the bright moon of the jade building, it is a pity that the fragrance and jade died.
Wu Xing was silent for a moment, she remembered that she had asked her husband the same question many years ago, when he sneered and asked rhetorically, "How is that possible?"
Now it's a very different answer.
Wu Xing didn't remind Cheng Yanqiu of his change of mentality, and feeling that Cheng Yanqiu seemed to be in a bad mood, she decided to make a long story short, "Sir, I'm going to leave for Tianshan tomorrow." ”
"Tianshan? yes, I originally planned to go with you. Cheng Yanqiu sighed, "Let Ning also go with you, the martial arts of the two of you, even if it is really a trap, it should be fine." ”
It seems that Mr. has long known about the affairs of Tianshan, Wu Xing nodded, and did not refuse Mr.'s kindness, "Then I'll go back and rest first." ”
Wu Yuki turned around and entered the room.
Cheng Yanqiu nodded indispensably, and casually poured another glass of wine, perhaps because he was touched by Wu Xing's liking, he couldn't help but think of the red sleeve knife now placed on the third floor of the library pavilion, sighed, drank the wine, and "The shadow becomes a three-person ......"
Leaving Cheng Yanqiu sad in the moonlight, Wu Xing had a good night's sleep in the room.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Xing and Song Ning also set off with dozens of disciples in the hall, first passing through the waterway, getting off the boat at Xinglong City, and going north, crossing the Huhe River to Pingcheng.
Day and night, more than half a month, it can be regarded as walking to the foot of the Tianshan Mountain.
Pingcheng is on the edge of Jinyang, Jinyang and then to the west, is the border of the tiger's eye of the Xidi, Xidi bitter cold, every year always to loot and loot the common people around Jinyang, also good to have Yanmen Pass, Jinyang tens of thousands of male soldiers guarded Yanmen Pass, in order to protect Qingguo from the war.
A hundred years ago, when the Qing Kingdom was first established, Jiuyang was autonomous in the rivers and lakes, and it was precisely because of Xidi.
Now seeing that the people of Pingcheng are still living and working in peace and contentment on the edge of the border, Wu Xing suddenly feels that Li Erlang, who looks out of tune, seems to be still a Ming Jun.
Song Ning also looked at Wu Xing, "You might as well rest in the city for a day today, and I'll go find someone to inquire about the situation." ”
Wu Xing readily agreed, and when the two of them found an inn in the city, they had a meal, and the people sent by Song Ning to investigate also returned.
"How's it going?"
The disciple bowed his head and replied respectfully, "It is true that someone has seen a person who looks like Xie Tang appear in the Tianshan Mountains, but that was many years ago. ”
So why is this rumor only going on now?
Song Ning and Wu Xing also glanced at each other, and they both understood what the other party meant, "It's all here, since there are clues, then whether it's Longtan Tiger's Den, we have to go up and break through." ”
"That's it. Wu Xing bowed, "However, don't go, wait for me at the bottom of the mountain, I'll go up the mountain alone." ”
The Tianshan Mountains are steep, the top of the mountain is cold, and it is difficult for people with deep internal strength to move an inch on the mountain, and the only people who can really climb the Tianshan Mountain on this trip are Song Ning and Wu Xing, and if the others go up the mountain, not only can they not exert one-tenth of their combat effectiveness, but they may also become a burden.
Fusheng Gu was originally Wu Xing's own thing, she didn't want Song Ning to be in danger for her, and obeying her husband's words and letting Song Ning accompany her was just for Mr. An's heart.
Song Ning also frowned, "You went up the mountain alone, and you didn't even have anyone to take care of, how can I rest assured? Ah Wu, I still go with you, although my martial arts are not as good as you now, but after all, you are many years old, and you have more experience than you." ”
Wu Xing saw that he couldn't convince Song Ningye, so he didn't say anything more, anyway, the current martial arts of the two, even Cheng Yanqiu would feel a little difficult under the combined efforts.
After a good night's rest, the next morning the two made a lot of preparations for going up the mountain, bought two big clothes worn by the locals to go up the mountain, and some convenient food and tools, and instructed the good disciples to answer the guard at the bottom of the mountain, and then went up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain in the distance, a pair of round and jade hands gently tapped the folding fan in the palm of his hand, he squinted his peach-like eyes, as if he felt a little cold, wrapped the purple daze on his body, and casually said to the person behind him, "Are you ready?"
"Yes, but it's still a little worse, the brothers below lack internal strength, move slowly, and it's a little difficult, but it doesn't matter, in another half an hour, it will be fine soon!"
Half an hour...... It doesn't matter, it's enough.
He Shuke yawned, looked at the two black dots like ants at the foot of the mountain slowly wriggling, he chuckled, his peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, and his round face showed a sense of innocence, "This time, he will definitely be impressed by me." ”
Many years ago, when He Shuke was young, he stayed in the Tianshan Mountains for a long time for him to fan the small handful of snow wolf hair, at that time his martial arts were not as good as they are now, snow wolves have always been haunted in groups, he just resisted the cold on the Tianshan Mountain, and the internal force had to be used up more than half, often the wolf hair did not get it, and he was injured.
But he didn't admit defeat, every material of the fan was a thing of painstaking efforts, how could he fall on a fan pendant, the front was not good, he used his brain to think of other ways, he spent three months gradually figuring out the general topography of the Tianshan Mountains, relying on some traps and small tricks, not only obtained the snow wolf hair he was missing, but also avenged the previous injury.
It was at that time that he heard the rumors of Xie Tang, when he went to Tianshan, Xie Tang was no longer in Tianshan, but he heard from the residents under the mountain that there was a strange man, dressed in black and lifeless, but he was handsome and graceful, but he had a momentum that no one should enter, every time he appeared, he obviously didn't do anything wrong, but he unconsciously lowered his head quietly, and didn't dare to open his eyes to look at him, the strange man rented a house alone, but he didn't live, but ran to the snow mountain every day.
Once, when the owner of the house that rented his house was delivering food to him, he saw some sludge on the inside of the room, thinking that the soles of his shoes had accidentally brought it in, so he wanted to take a broom to sweep the sludge out, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came in with a broom, he saw that the sludge had changed places, and he rubbed his eyes to take a closer look.
So where is the sludge!
But it's a wriggling clump of brown bugs!
The master suddenly sat down on the ground in fright, his legs and feet were weak, and when he looked around, he felt that there was something strange everywhere, and said incoherently, "Snake...... Bugs ......"
The strange man invited him out and said, "Don't look at things that you shouldn't see." ”
The strange man gave the master a large sum of money, but the master never got better, and all day long he muttered about snakes and insects, and when the strange man was gone, the master set himself on fire in the house.
The people lamented that it was the master who saw something unclean and was frightened mad.
He Shuke kept this matter in his heart, that strange man, Bacheng is the ghost master Xie Tang.
This matter has not been passed on for a few years, and no one has associated it with Xie Tang, the terrified ghost master in the rivers and lakes, and He Shuke has gradually forgotten about this incident and sealed it in the depths of his memory.
It wasn't until four years ago that Cheng Yanqiu began to secretly investigate Xie Tang's traces.
He Shuke knew that Wu Xing couldn't control the floating Gu independently, and he also knew that the Gu in his body was just able to allow him and Wu Xing to sense each other.
So this plan gradually appeared in his mind, he originally didn't want to use Wu Xing, but Wu Xing really grew up too fast.
Since five years ago, the Shifang Zen Master of Xiaoqingshan Temple commented on Wu Xing's "Shadow of the Shocking Hong", Wu Xing's reputation has become bigger and bigger in the rivers and lakes, she is like a shadow, I don't know when and where she will appear quietly, just a glimpse, you can take people's lives.
Shocking Shadow Wu Xing, I don't know how many people who have done bad things at night, panicked, and afraid that someone will pay for Jinghongying to take his life.
He Shuke didn't dare to wait any longer, if he waited any longer, I was afraid that Fu Chengshuo would not have achieved great success, and the Yin Moon Sect would sweep the rivers and lakes first, so three or four months ago, he asked Fu Chengshuo to carry out this plan.
Fu Chengshuo was a little hesitant, he was fooled by the lord as an outcast, Feihuashou would no longer come to help him, and there was really no suitable person with strong martial arts to help in Tai Amen, could he succeed with He Shuke alone?
If you can't succeed, won't you be a surprise?
He Shuke didn't want to drag it out any longer, so he prompted, "There is another person in the door, his martial arts are better than mine, he is young and promising, why don't the door master send him with me?"
Fu Chengshuo was stunned, and then remembered that there was also a Fu Shaoheng.
Fu Shaoheng was sent out by him to protect Fu Yao, the two of them have not returned to Taiamen for several years, and disappeared from the field of vision of the rivers and lakes, Fu Chengshuo is very satisfied with this situation, everyone thinks that the two of them are dead, and the two of them will be the safest, how could they suddenly call Fu Shaoheng back to participate in any plan that I don't know if it can succeed.
Fu Chengshuo did not agree to recall Fu Shaoheng back, but agreed with He Shuke's plan, He Shuke's plan was seamless, and it was really possible for the enemy to lose as many lives as possible.
It's just that the person who implemented the plan is a little dangerous.
He Shuke took people to Tianshan Mountain to arrange it, and also privately sent a flying pigeon biography to Fu Shaoheng.
Fu Shaoheng attached great importance to the flying pigeon biography, this is the only one sent in the past five years, not a letter to Fu Yao, but a letter to Fu Shaoheng.
The master needed his help, so he was naturally duty-bound, he talked to Fu Yao and asked him to find a place to hide for a few days, and he would go back as soon as he went.
But Fu Yao disagreed, "Who will protect me when you leave? Besides, isn't there a Shura fan? Such a dangerous thing, just let others do it, you are not allowed to go!"
Fu Shaoheng had no choice but to follow Fu Yao's wishes.
He Shuke crushed the letter, calmed down his heart, chuckled lightly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in Taohua's eyes, "It's okay, I'm alone, it's no problem." ”
Although it is the spring of March, the Tianshan Mountains are located in the northwest, the cold all the year round, the mountains are towering into the clouds, the snow is eternal, and one foot is stepped on the inaccessible snow, and it falls into half a leg.
The sky was already bright, and the two of them walked for more than two quarters of an hour, the sunlight reflected on the crystal snowflakes, a little dazzling, and there was a white expanse all around, and the two could only distinguish the direction by virtue of the height of the mountain and the sparse vegetation.
The two of them didn't dare to use light power to consume internal force casually, but even so, the foot strength of the two was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and they were about to reach the top of the mountain in more than two quarters of an hour.
Along the way, the two were cautious and vigilant, but they didn't encounter anything, and Song Ning couldn't help but be a little strange, "Didn't the villagers under the mountain say that there are many wolves in the snowy mountains?"
Why didn't they encounter any of them? Are they too lucky?
"I don't know. Wu Xing shook his head, "But it's almost to the top of the mountain, let's see." ”
The two continued to walk forward, the top of the mountain was colder than the bottom of the mountain, the branches and leaves of the cedars were ridged with ice, crystal clear, reflecting the sun, Wu Xing looked ahead, but found that at the top of the mountain, there was a higher mountain wall.
It's just that this mountain wall is steep, if you are not a person with light skills, I am afraid that you will not be able to go up, Wu Xing has already consumed a lot of internal strength, and if you want to climb up again, it may be a little difficult.
Song Ning also looked around, "It turns out that Tianshan Mountain does not refer to a mountain, but an endless mountain range. ”
This mountain range looks even more spectacular than the Hakoya mountain range.
"Maybe we're in the wrong place, come back tomorrow, be more prepared, and go to the back hill to have a look. "Wu Xing is very cautious, her internal strength has been consumed a lot, Song Ning must also be too, if she moves forward, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to go back, it is better to go down the mountain first, tomorrow with experience, you can go around the mountain from the halfway up the mountain to the back.
Song Ning was also about to nod, but suddenly found that Wu Xing's face changed, and he also became nervous, and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong Ah Wu?"
The floating Gu in her body suddenly became restless, and Wu Xing looked around with a somewhat ugly face, she had only experienced this situation once, that is, when she saw He Shuke in Changping.
He Shuke is now near her.
Sure enough, the young man wearing a purple coat and stroking a folding fan in his hand walked out from behind the rocks, his eyebrows and eyes crooked and smiling, "Little Awu, Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
