Deep in the mountains and dense forests, inaccessible, the terrain is extremely complex, and the line of sight is blocked, especially difficult to distinguish the direction.

Zhao Bufan, Zhu Lian, Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng walked down the cliff when the sky was just dawning, went around and around, and went straight to the evening and didn't find where the mountain on the other side of the cliff was.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and everyone was exhausted after a day and a night's tossing, Zhao Bufan decisively stopped looking for it, and followed the path when the mark came back, planning to return to Shiyan Town to rest first.

In the middle of the night, they returned to the inn where they had settled earlier, and the guys on duty at night got some cooked meat and wine for them, and everyone had a full meal, Zhao Bufan and Zhu Lian couldn't stay up, and went back to the house and fell asleep, until the next day, they didn't wake up from their sleep until the next day.

At this time, it was not early, the two of them simply cleaned up, and quickly went down to the inn lobby, but saw that Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng were already sitting at the table in the corner eating, and immediately walked over directly.

"How's it going? Do you have any ideas for today, and where do we start?"

Zhao Bufan sat down at the table with a grin, and while asking, his hand was already picking up a few pieces of delicious beef and putting them in his mouth.

After a night's rest, Cheng Zheng's spirit had obviously recovered, and he replied with a smile: "My subordinates and Wu Feng were discussing this matter just now, and they did have some gains. ”

"Tell me about it!" Zhao Bufan was interested.

Cheng Zheng paused, dipped his index finger in some tea and carved it on the table.

"Look, this circle is Shiyan Town, we used the compass to discern the direction when we returned yesterday, and we already knew that the cliff yesterday was located in the southwest of the town, but my subordinates clearly remembered that the road we were taking at that time was not directly southwest. ”

Zhao Bufan nodded: "Yes, taking Shiyan Town as the starting point, we first went south, then west, then south, and then west, and so on for a long time, and finally turned back and walked a short distance to the northeast before reaching that cliff." ”

With the words, Cheng Zheng had already drawn the route on the table with water, and said with a smile: "Then the owner of the village now look at this sketch." ”

Zhu Lian leaned over to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed, "We went around in a circle?"

Cheng Zheng said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhuang is right, from this sketch, no matter how winding the road we walked yesterday was, but our general direction is to go to the southwest first, and then turn to the northeast to reach the cliff, which is really a big circle, that is to say, the actual location of the cliff and the chain bridge should be located in the south of Shiyan Town, it may be eastern, or western, but the straight-line distance will definitely not be too far from Shiyan Town." ”

Zhao Bufan understood a little: "Does the master of the hall mean to demarcate the general scope first, and then ask the locals?"

"The subordinates only think of this method for the time being!" Cheng Zheng nodded and smiled.

Zhao Bufan thought about it, didn't say more, and beckoned the guy from the inn to come over, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, do you know what are the steep wonders in the mountains south of Shiyan Town, we want to go and see it." ”

The innkeeper bowed down and smiled, and asked in surprise: "In this chaotic world, how many guest officers are still in the mood to see the scenery?"

"It is precisely because of the chaos in the world that we have to take advantage of the fact that we are still alive now, and we must take a closer look, and if we die, we will not be able to see anything. As he spoke, Zhao Bufan took out one or two pieces of silver and gently put them on the table.

"If it is right, this money will be given to you. ”

The innkeeper's eyes lit up instantly, and he didn't care about all the idle things, and happily replied: "Guest officer, although our Shiyan Town is far away from the main peak of Wudang Mountain, there is no lack of beautiful scenery in the mountains to the south, such as ......."

As the innkeeper talked endlessly, Zhao Bufan's brows became tighter and tighter, because it had nothing to do with what he wanted to know, and he quickly interrupted: "Shopkeeper, do you know that there is an abyss with an iron chain bridge across it?"

"The guest officer is going to inquire about Huangquan Bridge?" the innkeeper was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Bufan's heart tightened.

"You know?"

"Of course, there is nothing that the locals don't know. The innkeeper took a deep breath, looked around with a mysterious face, and suddenly pressed down and said urgently: "Guest officer, I don't know where you learned about this Huangquan Bridge, but you can't go to that place." ”

"Why?" asked Zhu Lian suspiciously.

The innkeeper had a little horror on his face, and replied in a low voice: "It was a ghost bridge, connecting Huangyun Peak and Shuiquan Peak, it suddenly appeared more than ten years ago, I don't know who built it, at first it was discovered by Orion, but these Orions soon disappeared in the mountains, and no one has seen it since, and then some bold people did not believe in evil, and had to go to find out, and the result was that they disappeared without exception, even if the Lord Zhizhou personally came to investigate, they also disappeared mysteriously."

Since then, no one dares to go to that bridge, occasionally someone goes and never comes back, everyone rumors that the bridge is a ghost bridge to hell, mortals can't walk at all, and then the people went to the Yunshui Temple on Yunshui Peak to find the Yin-Yang Heavenly Master to collect ghosts, I didn't think that the Yin-Yang Heavenly Master could not defeat it several times, just confirm that it was full of ghosts, and let everyone not go over. ”

"Yunshui View?" Zhao Bufan muttered, and asked suspiciously: "What's going on with this Yunshui View? Where is Yunshui Peak?"

The innkeeper smiled: "Yunshui Peak is next to Shuiquan Peak, and Yunshui View is on the top of Yunshui Peak, not very far from Huangquan Bridge, not to mention there are hundreds of years of history, the Taoist chief often comes out to treat the surrounding villagers to go to disasters, save people in danger, it is very effective, so the incense is extremely vigorous, many people also come to pray for blessings from thousands of miles away, until Wang Qing rebelled recently...... Well, King Wang Qing occupied Junzhou, which gradually became deserted, but the surrounding people still often go. ”

These words dispelled Zhao Bufan's doubts, and he thought secretly in his heart.

If this Yunshui view has a hundred years of history, then it has nothing to do with Wanhualou, at that time even Yang Jian was not born, where did Wanhualou come from, as for the Huangquan Bridge is a ghost bridge, it is obviously not very credible, Zhou Yuanwai often secretly sends materials to Wanhualou from there, if the ghost bridge he did not die eight hundred times early, then this bridge is likely to be Wanhualou repair, and disguised as a ghost to kill people wantonly, create a terrifying atmosphere, and make it their exclusive passage.

Thinking of this, he quickly raised his head to look at the innkeeper again, and then asked, "Then do you know how many roads there are to Huangquan Bridge?"

"The guest officer is still going, I really don't want to live?" the innkeeper looked extremely surprised.

Xie Wufeng, who was next to him, suddenly glanced at him, and said angrily: "If you say it, you can say, what is alive or not, we can not only live, but also live very well, what is so terrible about the ghost bridge, I think there is nothing more terrible in this world than people, traitors and traitors, ghosts can compare with them? How many people can ghosts harm? How many people can they harm?"

“......”

The innkeeper was speechless.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "What a few guest officers said is really learned, it is definitely not an ordinary person, and the small one is not much persuasion, there are only two roads to the Huangquan Bridge, one is to go southwest, and the cliff cliff on the top of the Huangyun Peak is the west side of the Huangquan Bridge." The second is to go to Yunshui Peak, go west through Yunshui Temple, and you can go to the east of Huangquan Bridge by boarding Shuiquan Peak, but the small one has not dared to go, and it is not clear how to go specifically, only know a rough idea, but it should be much closer to Yunshui Peak. ”

Zhao Bufan glanced at everyone and waved his hand to the innkeeper with a smile: "Okay, you can take this silver!"

"Thank you, officer, if you have any other orders, you can call me again!"

The innkeeper smiled, took the silver and left happily.

Zhao Bufan pondered for a long time, and quickly said: "It seems that the cliff we arrived at yesterday should be Huangyunfeng, that is, the west of Huangquan Bridge, and the location of Wanhualou is to the east of Huangquan Bridge, that is, Shuiquan Peak. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, sped up the speed of eating, and in a short time, they were ready and set off for Yunshui Peak.

The road they walked today is much better than yesterday, there are stone stairs along the way, and there is very little moss, obviously people often go up the mountain to Yunshuiguan to pray for blessings, but it also confirms the saying that Yunshuiguan incense is vigorous.

Several people have high martial arts, their pace is calm and powerful, and their speed is naturally very fast, and it only took more than an hour to come to the Taoist temple at the top of Yunshui Peak.

The gilded gates, the red-painted courtyard walls, the layered palaces and pavilions, and the diffuse clouds and mist really make this magnificent Taoist temple full of fairy energy, as if it is located in the clouds of the fairy palace, it is really a good place to retreat and cultivate.

Zhao Bufan walked outside the gate and saw a little Taoist priest sweeping the floor, so he walked closer with a smile: "Little master, do you know how to go to Shuiquan Peak?"

"Water Spring Peak?"

The little Taoist priest was shocked and looked at a few people in surprise.

"Aren't you local?"

Zhao Bufan smiled and nodded: "No, we traveled all over the world, passing through Shiyan Town under the mountain, and heard that Shuiquan Peak is surprisingly steep, so we plan to pay our respects." ”

The little Taoist shook his head again and again: "You can't go there, there are demons and evil spirits, and the heavenly master can't help it, it's too dangerous!"

"It's not a secret, we are also cultivators, and we are not afraid of demons and evils!" Zhao Bufan replied casually.

The little Taoist priest was a little surprised: "Looking at how many of them are dressed, they don't look like cultivators?"

Zhao Bufan has been in the imperial court for so long, if he can't even say it to the little Taoist, then it is really in vain, almost without hesitation, he pretended to smile profoundly: "Clothes are just skins, the Tao is stored in the heart, the art is stored in the law, how can you ever say that you want to cultivate the skin?"

If the little Taoist priest realized, he hurriedly made a salute, and said respectfully: "Fusheng Immeasurable Tianzun, I can't imagine that a few people are masters of the Tao, since this is the case, the trail will not persuade much, if you want to go to Shuiquan Peak to catch demons, one can go around the path outside the Taoist temple to the west, and you can see a hundred-year-old pine in a short time, there is a path next to it to go to Shuiquan Peak, and the other can pass through the back mountain from our Taoist temple, and you can also go to Shuiquan Peak. ”

Zhao Bufan followed and returned the salute, looking the same: "Don't bother Taoist friends, the main reason for this trip is to go to Shuiquan Peak to see, and if you have a chance later, you will come to visit all Taoist friends!"

"Those masters, be careful!"

After some politeness, Zhao Bufan said goodbye to the little Taoist priest and quickly rushed to Shuiquan Peak around the path outside Yunshui Temple......
