Chapter 159: The Centipede Tower (1)
After the Song Xianyuan confessed, he reached out from his arms and took out more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver, almost nothing left in the bag, he handed over the silver two to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper saw that the face was happy to bloom, this is the silver of the white flower, more than one hundred taels, in the Tang Dynasty at that time, this is also a lot of foreign wealth, only because of the old Taoist Hu was tossed by the old Taoist who told the fortune, there was this large amount of income, so the heart of the shopkeeper is beautiful, and Song Xianyuan handed over the silver two to the store, is to tell a few words, this and Shangguan Xiaowan two are back in the house, this into the house, the Shangguan Xiaowan can dig up a small mouth, Song Xianyuan saw the reason for the busy question, this Shangguan Xiaowan said:
"Little Master, you are really generous, you gave so many silver taels to the shopkeeper, but we have very little left in our own pockets, and the Great Seal Monk Fang Sword still has no clues, what can we do in the future?"
Song Xianyuan heard Shangguan Xiaowan's words, but smiled and said:
"Sister Xiaowan, you don't have to worry about the silver two, don't be sad, I feel that the four lines of the old Taoist priest's poems are very mysterious, he seems to have told us where the Great Seal monk Fang's sword is, you come to see the four poems he said, the centipede tower outside the northbound city, the spring and autumn in the deep mountains, the mystery is endless, and everyone solves it, and the mystery is all in it. The first sentence of the centipede tower outside the northbound city means that we should go out of the city to the north to find a place called the centipede tower, the second sentence is in the middle of the spring and autumn in the mountains, which means that in the deep mountains, it has been standing for many years, and the third sentence is infinitely mysterious, it is estimated that this centipede tower is a very dangerous place, and generally few people go to that place, so no one can solve it, and the fourth sentence of the mystery is all in it, this is better to understand, as long as the tower is broken, what we want to find, it is estimated that it will emerge or know, Sister Xiaowan, I gave most of the silver taels to the store, one is to pay back the three days of food money that the old Taoist priest owes him, and the other is to come, I want to gamble early tomorrow morning, I must find this centipede tower outside the city, no matter how dangerous he is, I also want to break through, so carrying those silver taels on my body is also a burden, and if we really break the tower, we will go back to Pingzhou directly, and the remaining silver taels are enough for daily use, but to this worldly master old Taoist priest helped us, we should also thank him......"
"Anyway, little master, you have the final say, but you just believe in him like this, although he is a great master in the world, but the heart of harming people must not have, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, who knows whether his four poems are true or false, in case he is tricky, then we will be passive, no silver taels, and we can't go back for the time being, hey..... by then my sister and I will pick up the old line, you, just come with me, let's go to dinner together......"
Shangguan Xiaowan said a little ridiculously:
"This ..... Sister Xiaowan, you are really joking, no, no, just take 10,000 steps back, if it is really as my sister worries, then the old Taoist priest has deceived us, then even if my Song Xianyuan earns silver taels on the street, I will not let my sister beg again....."
Song Xianyuan hurriedly explained a little anxiously:
But Shangguan Xiaowan snorted and laughed, and then said:
"I hope that my little master, today's words are from the bottom of my heart, okay! Since the matter has come to this point, it cannot be changed, then tomorrow sister I will accompany the little master, let's go to find the centipede tower together, see what kind of dangerous tower this centipede tower is, I will go back to the house to rest first, you can rest early......
"Okay, thank you Sister Xiaowan, I can have you by my side, and my Song Xianyuan is even more fearless......"
In this way, the two agreed, and then Shangguan Xiaowan went back to the house to rest, and there was nothing to say all night, until the next day, Song Xianyuan and Shangguan Xiaowan had breakfast, and then asked the shopkeeper to get a few more flatbreads and two or three kettles, which were brought with them, and they also brought the weapons they should have, and then the two walked out of the store. After they crossed the street a few times, they came to the north gate of Yingzhou City, out of the city gate, they looked up to the north, the good guy is not far from here is a continuous mountain, can not see the edge at a glance.
It seems that the four lines of the old Taoist priest's poems are still a bit composed, so the two of them performed the land flying method, the twelve words of running word skills, with the kung fu of these two people, how fast the foot power was, they ran into the mountain in one breath, and waited into the mountain, these two were a little dumbfounded, why? Because this mountain is too big, and the mountain road is curved and steep, and there are many forests, it is easy to get lost, although Song Xianyuan and Shangguan Xiaowan are both people in the rivers and lakes, but for the unfamiliar mountain, they are not familiar with the road after all, the two can only rely on the old Taoist poem, is to have been groping to the north, they are also afraid of getting lost, so in each section of the road, to make a mark on the ground or on the rock, so that when they go back, they will not lose their way, it is strange to say, they walked in the mountains for a whole day, and did not see the place where the centipede tower in the old Taoist poem is, they can't help but feel a little lost in their hearts, seeing the sunset, there is not even a figure in this mountain, you say you can go there to spend the night? Is it on the ground, no, that is too dangerous, in case there are any beasts or the like at night, then it will not be in vain to give his life, and finally this Song Xianyuan and Shangguan Xiaowan discussed, since they came, then they must not go back, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted, in order to avoid the danger of being attacked by wild beasts at night, the two of them found a forest nearby, and selected a thick and tall tree, flew up and jumped up, and then planned to stay in the tree for one night, so as to rest. At this moment, suddenly, Song Xianyuan heard a woman's mournful wailing cry not far away, "Help, help" The voice sounded very terrifying.
"Uh-huh......."
"Sister Xiaowan, listen, how can there be a woman's shouting, this mountain is already very desolate, you can't even see a figure during the day, and how can someone shout at night?"
Song Xianyuan said with some doubts:
"Yes, little master, what you said is indeed reasonable, but sometimes things have a special side, such as you and me, aren't we also in this big mountain at this time?"
Shangguan Xiaowan said with a smile:
"Hahaha, that makes sense, Sister Xiaowan, you really wake up the dreamer with a word!Yes, the woman who screamed must be just like us tonight, but she may have encountered some accident or beast or the like, and she is worried about her life, so she screamed like this....."
"Little Master, your analysis is correct, but we have to go and save people first, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be too late......"
"What Sister Xiaowan said is very true, go ......"
In this way, the two of them flew down the tree, and then followed the sound to look for it, and it was just a cup of tea, and the two found by the moonlight that not far in front of them a hundred paces away, there was a person who held a bright knife in her hand, and the big knife was shining by the moonlight in the sky, but at this time her surroundings were not good, there were several wolves besieging her, and she was trying her best to resist, but it was difficult to resist the wolves, so she let out a cry for help........
