Chapter 47: The Gates of Hell
The next day, the two of them galloped fast, all the way south, and after three more days, they entered the boundary of Fujian, and arrived at Wuping at noon on the fourth day, and nothing major happened along the way. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
This skeleton city is in a mountain forest in the northeast of Wuping, surrounded by dense forests on three sides, one side is against the cliff, the terrain is not dangerous, just because Tie Yama came to set traps in the woods on three sides, it has become a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Yang Ming and Jiang Yufei entered Wuping County, only to see that there were few people here, most of the old and weak, the streets were depressed and deserted, and nine out of ten shops were closed.
The two found a decent small shop to fight, the store had no business for several days, and the old shopkeeper in his fifties saw that someone suddenly came in, and hurriedly called Xiao Er: "I said Ah Fu, there are guests, come and entertain." Xiao Er hurriedly came out of the back room, swept away the dust on the table with a rag, and said with a smile: "Please sit down, what do you eat?"
Yang Ming and Jiang Yufei sat down, and Yang Ming said: "Just come with four or five small dishes that the chef is good at, prepare some rice, and if there is good wine, also come up with two pots." ”
The shopkeeper said: "The shop has good wine, wait a minute, let's go get it." Xiao Er retreated and went to the kitchen to spread the word, and went to get the wine by the way.
Soon good wine and food were served, and the two of them were full of food and drink, and asked the shopkeeper about some information about Skull City. Knowing that the minions of Skull City often come out to commit evil in Shen Shi, they will rush back to Skull City before the sun goes down, so the people of Wuping County closed their doors before Shen Shi arrived, and did not dare to come out to walk again until the sun went down.
Yang Ming and Jiang Yufei rested in this small shop for more than an hour, until Shen Shi was about to arrive, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er took off the signboard and prepared to close before leaving the shop.
Yang Ming and Jiang Yufei rode slowly on the street, and there was not even half a figure on the street except for the two of them. The two of them wandered down the street, hoping that the minions from Skull City would really come to Wuping. Yang Ming meant to see one to kill one and see two to kill a pair, but Jiang Yufei had other plans.
The two of them didn't see anything on the street, and after walking around for half an hour, they planned to go out of the city to the vicinity of Skull City to have a look. The two walked out of the north gate of Wuping and walked towards the deep mountains and forests.
Soon, when he arrived at a fork in the road, Yang Ming hesitated, not knowing which way to go. Jiang Yufei saw that he had a difficult choice, and said: "Take these two roads to the woods near Skull City, no matter where you enter, you can reach Skull City after passing through the woods." As he spoke, he handed a handkerchief to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming took it and saw that there were images and words written on the white handkerchief, and when he unfolded it, it was a map of the area around Skull City. Yang Ming was overjoyed: "It turns out that you have been prepared. ”
Jiang Yufei smiled proudly: "It's not me who is talking big, you really can't enter Skull City without me." ”
Yang Ming didn't say anything, looked at the map, and chose a shortcut to lead to the leopard forest east of Skull City. Before the leopard forest was reached, a village outside the leopard forest was full of desolation, the wind was blowing, the houses were destroyed, and the white bones were lying on the side of the road, but these corpses had no heads, and the two mounts couldn't help but scream. Yang Ming was afraid that the mount would be frightened, so he discussed with Jiang Yufei to tie the horses to a dilapidated house, the roof of this house was in tatters, and three of the four walls were intact, but it was difficult for people to notice that there were two more horses on the side of the road outside the house.
The two of them were about to go further when they heard a shout of "Woo Woo Woo Wow" from the south, as if someone was cheering. The two thought that it must be the minions of Skull City who had returned, and immediately dodged and hid behind the broken house.
Not long after, sure enough, a group of minions rushed in the direction of the leopard forest, tall, short, fat, thin, black, white, beautiful and ugly, neatly dressed, shirtless, barefoot, all kinds of appearances, a total of more than 30 people.
When Yang Ming saw it, he clenched his long sword and was about to run out to kill him, but he was stopped by Jiang Yufei: "If you want to break into Skull City, don't move first." ”
Yang Ming said: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Yufei said: "Don't startle the snake before you see Tie Yanluo, I have my own way." ”
The group of minions approached, Yang Ming saw clearly that some of them were holding knives, guns, axes and forks and other weapons in their hands, some were carrying pigs and sheep, some were holding chickens and ducks, some were carrying wine jars, and some were carrying young women.
Yang Ming counted that these people had tied up a total of four women, two of whom carried one and one carried one. Yang Ming was furious, he drew his sword and was about to rush out, Jiang Yufei grabbed his arm firmly and said, "Yang Ming, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, don't forget that your purpose is to kill Tie Yanluo." The two sentences are crisp and neat, and the tone is very different from the previous Japanese.
Yang Ming forcibly suppressed the anger and said, "Tell me what tricks you have." ”
Jiang Yufei said: "Although your martial arts are high, your heart is too hot and your temperament is too anxious, and when it comes to achieving great things, you are far worse than my brother." ”
Yang Ming originally thought that she was going to say something to get rid of Iron Yama's strategy, but she didn't expect to be ridiculed by her, and the anger in his heart suddenly rushed up: "He has the ability, why don't he raze Skull City to the ground?"
Jiang Yufei did not back down: "That's sooner or later." My brother has always been far-sighted and unruly, how can he be so impatient as you? If you don't listen to my advice today, you won't have enough nine lives. ”
The more Yang Ming listened, the more angry he became, could it be that in her heart, he was so worthless? Could it be that without her help, he really couldn't enter Skull City?
Seeing that the group of minions had entered the leopard forest, he jumped out of the back of the house in a hurry and rushed towards the leopard forest.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yufei hurriedly rushed up, blocked in front of him, and said, "Yang Ming, you are arrogant, you don't listen to people's advice, you have to suffer a big loss." I have a hard heart, endure the pain and cut my love, and want to help you get rid of the iron Yama and get Tong Yu, but you don't appreciate it at all. I only said a few words to you, and you flew into a rage, I really misjudged you. The more Jiang Yufei said, the more uncomfortable she became, and her eyes turned red.
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, what "endure the pain and cut your love, help you get rid of the Iron Yama and get Tong Yu", only to hear his head buzzing, and he was stunned for a long time before saying, "What did you say?"
Jiang Yufei turned his face to the side and said, "You killed Tie Yanluo, took off his head and went to see Tong Yu in the Flower Lane Studio, didn't she promise herself? I was originally angry that you wanted to die for Tong Yu, but I couldn't bear to watch you go to death, so I wanted to go to Skull City with you." Anyway, I have nothing to do with you in this life, whether you are with Tong Yu or with other women, what difference does it make to me. Speaking of grievances, tears rolled in her eyes, and she couldn't help but slip a few drops on the placket of her clothes after holding back.
Yang Ming was surprised and pitied, surprised that she came to Skull City for herself, and pity her for sacrificing her life, full of grievances, and two lines of tears.
Yang Ming was stunned for a long time, his heart couldn't help but soften, he withdrew his sword, and said softly: "It's me who is not good, don't be angry." Even if I can really kill Tie Yanluo, I won't marry Tong Yu, not to mention that my trip may not go well. ”
Jiang Yufei didn't give up, wiped away her tears, dragged Yang Ming's arm and walked towards the leopard forest, and walked to a one-and-a-half-foot-high stone tablet outside the forest before letting go.
Yang Ming looked at the stone tablet with three blood-red characters written on it, and there was a row of small characters next to it: "The trespasser is dead." Looking closely, the words "the tomb of so-and-so", "a certain year and a certain month", and "who and who will erect a monument for future generations" can be faintly seen behind these words, and it is obvious that this stele was originally a tombstone of a deceased.
Jiang Yufei didn't look at the stone tablet, and said angrily: "If you don't believe what I say, I'll let you see ......" As he spoke, he flicked the soft whip, rolled up a stone weighing more than ten catties and threw it into the woods. The stone was thrown into the forest and fell to the ground, rolling less than a foot away, when suddenly more than a dozen short arrows were shot from all around, crossing three or four feet directly above the stone and falling into the grass.
Jiang Yufei said again: "I'll let you see clearly." Before he could finish speaking, the whip rolled up a headless skeleton on the ground and threw it into the forest, and the skeleton happened to fall into the trunk of a big tree, and suddenly fell apart, and when it was about to fall, a large net was suddenly lifted on the ground, and all the scattered bones were catched, and as soon as the mouth of the net was closed, it hung on the trunk of the tree, and two spears suddenly flew out from the east, and fell through the big net into the grass on the west side.
When Yang Ming saw this, he couldn't help but shudder, and said in his heart: "If the person covered by this net is a living person, wouldn't he be stabbed to death by a spear through the chest......"
Jiang Yufei turned around and saw Yang Ming's stunned expression, seemed to be very satisfied, snorted lightly, and continued: "If you want to perform light skills, stepping on the tree to enter a little, it is a good way, but there is an eight-treasure building in Skull City, and there is an excellent observation deck on the top of the building, you are afraid that you will be immediately discovered by them when you jump up to the treetops." When you enter Skull City, they will be prepared and will not know what vicious methods to use against you. ”
With that, she walked towards the dilapidated house where the horse was tethered. She was angry with Yang Ming because of Tong Yu's affairs before, but when she arrived in Wuping, her anger disappeared. Now she was stunned again, she said, "You can't enter Skull City without me", Yang Ming didn't believe it, she said, "If you don't listen to my advice, even if you have nine lives, it's not enough to break through", Yang Ming was not convinced, and now she has made up her mind to let Yang Ming convince her.
Yang Ming no longer acted rashly, and followed Jiang Yufei back to the place where the horse was tethered, wanting to say a few words to her, comfort her a few words or admit that she was too impulsive, etc., it can be seen that Jiang Yufei crossed her hands in front of her chest, standing with a straight face facing the leopard Lin Lingfeng, with a handsome face as cold as ice, looking high up and no one in his eyes, Yang Ming couldn't open his mouth anyway.
Yang Ming thought to himself that she was the daughter of the Seven Star Sect Master, and she must be held high in Panlong Valley like a princess, so it was no wonder that she was so arrogant. Then he thought, "When she is angry, I will persuade her not to take risks with me." ”
Seeing that time was passing and the sun was about to set, Jiang Yufei was still in that posture and expression, motionless.
Yang Ming was a little hungry, so he took out dry food and water and sent it to Jiang Yufei first, and said, "Miss Jiang, it's not early, you can drink some water and eat something." ”
Jiang Yufei only glanced at him, let go of the hands that were held in front of his chest, walked to the side of the white horse, took his own dry food and water, and fed himself.
Yang Ming shook his head, put away his things when he was full for seven or eight minutes, walked up to Jiang Yufei and said, "Miss Jiang, how can you let you take an adventure with me? ”
Jiang Yufei only sneered, which meant "I have made up my mind, you don't have to be verbose."
Yang Ming couldn't persuade her, and thought in his heart: "She doesn't listen to persuasion, if I want to enter the leopard forest, she will inevitably go in with me, how is it good?" Yang Ming had no choice for a while, so he could only spend time with Jiang Yufei, no one left, no one moved, and no one spoke.
