Chapter Seventy-Eight: Against the Current, IV

Hearing the voice, it was Shiqi and the Yuan Daxia, as well as Xin Huailiang and the man surnamed Jiang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe four of them were very fast, and their bodies jumped a few times in the low forest at the foot of the mountain, and they had already rushed to my small courtyard.

Xin Huailiang walked a few steps briskly towards the end of the small courtyard, climbed high and looked halfway up the mountain, turned back to the Yuan Daxia and said: "Brother Yuan, you and I will catch up, the villa is surrounded by water on three sides and faces a cliff, and that person will never run far." ”

The Yuan Daxia nodded, didn't say much, and Xin Huailiang climbed over the small courtyard behind my house, chased halfway up the mountain, and disappeared into the mountain forest in the blink of an eye.

The speed of the two of them is not slow, that Yuan Daxia is faintly slightly better than Xin Huailiang, although the speed is a little inferior to the person who sneaked up on me just now, but the body technique is also exquisite, and behind them jumping, there seems to be some afterimage faintly. Seeing their wind-like figures, I couldn't help but yearn for a while, and at the same time, my heart was filled with an indescribable feeling at this time.

Ma Qianli, Zhu Er, and his speed and body skills are exquisite, when the two of them fought, I watched from a distance, and the moving bodies of the two would also appear like the person just now. The human body is haunted by the internal qi, the internal qi and the air are staggered, and the superimposed shadow can appear when the body moves, and the superimposed shadow on the body seems to be simple, and the subtlety is not only related to the speed, but also has a lot to do with the special body method.

In the past few days, in addition to walking around the villa with Xiaoqing, I have been to more convenient places to listen to the piano in Shiqi's small courtyard, during which I asked Shiqi about her piano off-strings. I've always been very curious about Shiqi's ability to emit piano energy from the guqin, but Shiqi didn't tell me about the exercises she practiced, but talked to me about some powerful characters and martial arts on the rivers and lakes, including a set of powerful body methods, ghost shadow steps.

The southwest of the Great Song Dynasty is adjacent to Tubo, Dali and Jiaozhi, the border land is tortuous and long, there is a big clan on Zizhou Road, the name is Luo, the people of Luo are good at fighting, and the relationship with the tribes of friendly countries is good. More than 100 miles to the east of Marble City County, there is a valley at the junction of the border of the Central Plains of the Great Song Dynasty, and this valley is the famous ghost valley of the rivers and lakes. The valley owner of the Ghost Valley is called Luo Renshan, and he is the person of the Luo family. The origin of the surname Luo is very early, and it established itself as the Luo country a long time ago, and then it was destroyed and moved several times. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, although Taizu was forbidden to trade privately with outsiders, there was more than trade in the border area. At that time, Tubo was in chaos and fragmented, and Dali was in decline, and Taizu wanted to conquer the north and south, which was a good time. However, what is strange is that the Great Song Dynasty did not send troops to the two countries, but the place where the two countries were handed over, there was a rare period of relaxation between the tribes. Some people say that this is Taizu's foreign trade policy, and some people say that this is a sign of friendship between Tubo and Dali to the Great Song Dynasty, but more people say that it is because of the Luo clan's relocation here.

Luo Renshan, the owner of Guigu Valley, is generous and heroic, and he is convinced by the upper and lower valleys and the neighboring countries. Luo Renshan can sit as the master of the Ghost Valley, in addition to his friendliness, the most important thing is his martial arts attainments. In the era of martial arts, everyone advocates the strong, the ghost valley can be famous for shaking the rivers and lakes, the surrounding tribes have come to ask for advice, the martial arts in the valley are extraordinary, but the most powerful martial arts in the ghost valley are not such as palm technique, leg technique, sword technique, knife technique, etc., but it is the body of the ghost shadow step, the ghost valley is also named after this footwork.

"To live as the key, to the change of yin and yang is wonderful, the wind and clouds are moving, and the wind and clouds are quiet, although there are thousands of arrows in the bushes are unharmed. ”

Speaking of ghost shadow footwork, Shiqi also half-understood, the reason why she knew the name of ghost shadow step was also from Cheng Fuhai's mouth. However, Shiqi told me that cultivating the body method is not an easy thing, it is not the same as speed, it is very different from cultivating light skills, but it is far from it. And cultivating the body method out of afterimages and phantoms is even more difficult.

The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I felt, not to mention how good the ghost footwork was, but the weird body of Xin Huailiang and a few people made me out of reach. Martial arts are broad and profound, they are all strong martial arts, and the exercises they practice are all exquisite and magical, not comparable to me. Relying on the opening of the sky, I can cultivate some internal strength, but when it comes to martial arts routines, I really can't go out and compare with them. Maybe I'm not suitable for martial arts at all, and I can only practice such a set of water-avoiding swordsmanship, look at the courtyard, and walk the darts, right?

At this time, the man surnamed Jiang in the small courtyard smiled and said, "Gu Xiaoyou, don't you hurry down quickly, do you want to spend the night on the roof?"

When I came back to my senses, I realized that there were bursts of pain in my body, especially in my shoulder, which was still numb and painful. Shaking my shoulders, I smiled and said, "My roof is broken, and spending the night on the roof is no different from spending the night in the room, so it's better to spend the night on the roof and enjoy the scenery." ”

I said this, but I couldn't laugh at all, so I walked to the eaves and jumped down with my body open. The eaves were not very high from the ground, and although my body was hit by the green tiles, I was still able to walk freely and fall to the ground lightly and dexterously.

When I walked to Shiqi and the man surnamed Jiang, the man surnamed Jiang walked up to me with his hands behind his back and looked at me, the light was blind, I really didn't know what injuries he could see from me. But when I saw him walking around me, I suddenly laughed, then looked at the mountain behind my house, and said, "If this person doesn't come again, I'm afraid that Jiang will personally lead him here, but he still comes, hehe." ”

I was stunned, I didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, but I listened to the meaning of his words, but I wished that person came to me for trouble, I frowned, and said: "Senior Jiang, that person has also been poisoned by the poison ...... his body."

The man surnamed Jiang shook his head and said with a smile: "I know that he has poison in his body, and no one knows him better than me. ”

I said, "Senior Jiang recognizes this person?"

He nodded and said, "This person's name is Yu Wensheng, nicknamed Know-it-all, just like me, he is a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, but I am better than him, he is a gambler." Oops, I'm finally looking forward to him, hehe. ”

The last sentence he said was a little meaningful, and I turned my head in my heart, and it was even more inexplicable, and said, "Senior Jiang, how do you know that person is Yu Wensheng?"

The man surnamed Jiang sighed: "Because I can smell the dice on his body, haha." ”

His words are undoubtedly a joke, I don't take it seriously, I was thinking about the meaning of his words "finally looked forward to him", but I heard the door of the small courtyard "squeak" and was pushed open, and Cheng Fuhai and Ba Zhongyuan walked in.

Cheng Fuhai walked quickly to us, looked at the man surnamed Jiang and asked, "Brother Jiang, but that person?"

The man surnamed Jiang nodded and said, "It's not wrong, I can recognize that guy when he turns to ashes, hehe." ”

Cheng Fuhai looked at the back of my house, nodded slowly, and said, "It's just right to come." Then he turned his head to look at the Central Plains and said, "What do you think?"

Ba Zhongyuan pondered for a moment and said: "If Master Cheng Zhuang thinks that this method is safe, Ba Mou, Master Miao and a few friends will come forward to stop it." ”

I was confused when I heard it, listening to what they meant, Cheng Fuhai and Ba Zhongyuan seemed to have discussed something, and who came forward to stop it? Could it be that Yu Wensheng? With the martial arts of Ba Zhongyuan, it is not even a Yu Wensheng who can be defeated, right? I have seen his martial arts, and his internal strength is as fierce as the waves, although Yu Wensheng's body is strange, but if it is in the hands of Ba Zhongyuan, I am afraid that it is still so far behind.

But seeing Cheng Fuhai nodded, he suddenly said to me, "Gu Xiaoyou, come with me." ”

He beckoned to me, but he walked out of the small courtyard with the surname Jiang, I vaguely felt that there was something strange about this matter, and I didn't dare to slack off immediately, put the shadow chasing sword back into the sheath, and hurriedly followed.

When I passed by Shiqi's side, I looked back, but saw Shiqi tilting her head and listening with her ears tilted, and Nakahara was also turning her head to look at me. I didn't have time to greet them when they came in just now, and I wanted to say something about the scene, but I didn't know what to say when it came to my lips. After a pause, I turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Out of the small courtyard, Cheng Fuhai and the man surnamed Jiang had already walked far away, I hurriedly quickened my pace, trotted to follow, ran behind them, I said, "Senior Cheng, where are we going?"

Cheng Fuhai didn't speak, but the surnamed Jiang smiled: "Follow along, where are there so many things to ask, in short, it won't hurt you." Hey. ”

I was a little speechless, and without further questioning, I put the Shadow Chaser Sword behind me and followed them down the mountain. The night was deep, and the rest of the place was dark except for the lights in the small courtyard of Sanguan, just like when I first sneaked in, although there was no light rain at this time, but the chill in the air was stronger than that time.

Passing through the courtyard of the second and third passes, Cheng Fuhai led me and the man surnamed Jiang straight to the back mountain of Youyun Villa. The last peak of Youyun Mountain is the highest peak of the three peaks, and the attic established at the foot of the mountain is far less than the attic houses at the foot of the other two peaks, and there are only five attics built around the mountain, including the meeting hall, the reception hall, and the place where Cheng Fuhai himself lives, called "Tianya Pavilion", and I don't know what the other two attics are.

Cheng Fuhai is not tall and very thin, but he walks with a long step, and I trotted all the way behind him to barely fall down. The three of us were a little fast, even a little hurried, which made me feel uneasy.

When I passed through the small courtyard of the two gates and the meeting hall at the foot of the three peaks in the vicinity, I thought to myself that Cheng Fuhai hurriedly walked here, could it be related to the red-robed young man? Unexpectedly, Cheng Fuhai did not walk towards the meeting hall, but chose a side road, bypassed the meeting hall, and walked towards the west gate of Youyun Mountain Villa.

As I walked around the council hall, my doubts were hard to come back with. Yu Wensheng must have come to suck the blood on my body, but Cheng Fuhai obviously didn't bring me here to chase after Yu Wensheng, bypassing the meeting hall, indicating that he didn't come to find the three red-robed young men surnamed Li. I didn't chase Yu Wensheng, and I didn't come to find the person surnamed Li, but led me to Ximen?

Youyun Villa is too big, this last peak alone occupies a lot of land, we hurriedly walked for a stick of incense, and finally came to the west gate. Seeing us coming, a lean man who looked like a guy ran over and arched his hand towards Cheng Fuhai and said, "Meet the master." ”

Cheng Fuhai waved his hand and said, "Are people coming?"

The man said, "Back to the master, here." ”

Cheng Fuhai said: "Go and put the things in the carriage, tell those people, and we will leave tonight." ”

The man answered, turned and ran toward the north of the west gate. I couldn't hold back any longer, so I stepped forward and asked, "Senior Cheng, where are we going?"

Cheng Fuhai turned his head and said with a smile: "Death Swamp." ”

"What?"

I was taken aback and said, "Didn't the seniors say that they would not leave until the tenth day of the first month of next month?

Cheng Fuhai smiled on his back and said: "I'm afraid that before the tenth day of the next month, the old man's villa will be surrounded by water, where can he still leave to go to the Western Regions? Coming one by two, the old man is confident that he can protect Gu Xiaoyou, but has Gu Xiaoyou ever thought about what the consequences would be if these people didn't come in one or two?"

My heart pounded, I really didn't think about it. I knew that someone would come to me for trouble, and as Cheng Fuhai said, I had thought that these people who had been poisoned by the snake must not be idle people, in my heart there were faint Cheng Fuhai and the people of the Central Plains as a support, with the names of Youyun Villa and Xuantiemen as the backing, plus Miao Jisong and a few people to help, even if someone with strong martial arts found me, I had to weigh it.

But I never thought that there would be a large number of people coming, and if that were the case, it would not only be my personal safety, but even the entire Cloud Villa would be in trouble.

Cheng Fuhai said this very tactfully, and did not pick out the potential crisis of Youyun Villa, but he said it to this, just to let me know the severity of it, and he didn't want to hurt the harmony, this good intentions really made me ashamed. At this time, in my heart, I can't help but feel ashamed that I have always used Youyun Villa as a shield.

I laughed at myself in my heart, but I made a mistake on my lips and said, "Senior Cheng, who is Yu Wensheng, who can attract a large number of experts in the rivers and lakes?"

At this time, the man surnamed Jiang said with a smile: "He is not a person, he makes a living from gambling, and he has the ability to live, but he does not steal or rob, and when he loses all his money, he makes money by selling news." He smiled, looked at me and said, "His news is very smart, and the news he spreads is also very wide, and there are people in both the righteous and the demonic realms who spend money to buy news from his mouth, hehe." ”

At this moment, five carriages drove on the path in the distance, followed by more than a dozen men on the left and right, all of them dressed neatly and seemingly carrying large knives at their waists. As the carriage got nearer, I saw that three of the five carriages were loaded with six huge wooden boxes, and the other two were covered with cloth huts, which were actually used for carrying people.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of us, Cheng Fuhai got into the first carriage, and before he got into the carport, he turned around and smiled: "Gu Xiaoyou, are you riding one with the old man, or are you sitting in the back carriage?"

I looked at the carriage behind him, hugged my fist at him, and said, "The juniors don't disturb the juniors' retreat, let's sit in the carriage behind." ”

Cheng Fuhai smiled and said, "Okay, come up quickly, let's go." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to get into the carriage, and I couldn't help but speak again, "Senior Cheng." ”

Cheng Fuhai turned around and said, "What's the matter, Gu Xiaoyou?"

I thought about it for a while and said, "I wonder how the seniors learned that Yu Wensheng would come to the villa?"

Cheng Fuhai laughed, lifted the curtain and got in, but the voice came out of the carriage: "The old man just knows." ”

The man slowly pulled the west gate open, and outside the west gate was the stone bridge, and the mottled and cracked stone patterns on the stone bridge could still be seen in the darkness.

The carriage moved slowly, and I jumped into the carriage without hesitation. (To be continued.) )
