Chapter 196: Two Realms Mountain
Three days later, the air is clear and the sky is clear, the light clouds are rolling, the five people and three riders walk leisurely on the official road, it has entered the late autumn in due course, the grass and trees on both sides are withered and yellow, the eyes are full of depression, when you don't go much, a bright stream is horizontal, the shallow stream is vertical and horizontal, and the beauty is rocky.
On the horseback of the leader, a man and a woman, the man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, sharp edges and corners, a blue brocade robe, elegant and extraordinary. The woman's skin is better than snow, her face is like a peach blossom, a pair of charming eyes are flowing, she is wearing a light cyan thread skirt, with gold and silver threads in the buttons, and a little plum blossom, which can be described as extremely beautiful.
Approaching the shallow stream, I heard the girl giggle and say, "Brother Wuyi, there is a stream ahead, you go and fill some water." "The voice is like a yellow warbler, ethereal and tactful.
Zhang Wuyi turned over and dismounted, took the water bladder, and came to the stream, but saw that the stream was clear and quiet, bubbling and flowing, and couldn't help but taste it first. He untied the water bladder, filled it, and was about to get up when he suddenly saw a marble tablet standing outside a hundred zhang in front of him, although the stele was far away, but Zhang Wuyi's eyesight was excellent, and under a closer look, he found that the stele was engraved with three big characters of "Two Realms Mountain".
After staying for a while, Wuyi turned back with a full water bladder, and as soon as he walked in front of the crowd, he couldn't help but ask, "Xian'er, Brother Duan, do you know what the two realms of mountains are?"
Duan Yu thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "The Two Realms Mountain is the boundary between Cangzhou and Dezhou, which can be described as a natural barrier, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. ”
Zhang Wuyi said curiously: "So, you can also go to Cangzhou from these two mountains?"
Duan Yu was still expressionless and said: "Yes, if you talk about the distance, if you detour from the official road, it will still take three hours, but if you want to pass through the Two Realms Mountain, you can reach Cangzhou in just one day and one night." ”
As soon as Yan Zhi and Yan Xun heard this, they immediately called out and shouted: "If this is the case, then why do we give up the near and seek the distance, and take the official road instead of the Two Realms Mountain, isn't this three more days in vain?" In the past three days, the two of them and Duan Yu have faced each other day and night, and their hearts are no longer as scared as before, and then they heard Ruoxian say that he had fought with Wang Zhi under the Black Wood Cliff, and his heart was even more secretly close.
What the two of them asked was exactly what Zhang Wuyi was puzzled about, and at this moment, he looked at Duan Yu with Yan Xun and Yan Zhi.
Ruoxian suddenly smiled and said: "You only know one and don't know the other, although these two boundary mountains are adjacent to Cangzhou, which can greatly reduce the trip, but no one wants to pass through those two boundary mountains." ”
Zhang Wuyi and the three of them said strangely at the same time: "Why is this?"
Ruoxian held back his smile and said solemnly: "That's because this mountain is located at the junction of Dezhou and Cangzhou, east of the Bohai Sea, there are often strong people active in the meantime, specializing in killing people and goods, they are strong in martial arts, their whereabouts are secretive, they like to feed on human flesh, lose their conscience, and collude with overseas Japanese robbers, even our Sun Moon God Sect does not dare to rashly fight the idea here." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Wuyi nodded again and again, thinking: "It turns out that this is the reason, no wonder the merchants and visitors on the road would rather take a detour to walk the official road than risk passing through the mountains of the two realms." ”
Yan Zhiyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and quickly changed his words: "Then let's go from the official road.....
Ruoxian was silent, looked at Duan Yu, and asked, "Brother Duan, what do you mean?"
Duan Yu was silent, and after a long time, he sighed: "Let's go from the Two Realms Mountain......
Yan Zhi Yan Xun gasped, and screamed in shock, Zhang Wuyi was also unclear, although he was not afraid of those strong people, but after all, more things are better than less, the most important thing to go to Cangzhou this time is to find Zhou Changfeng and retrieve the Yitian Sword, I really don't want to make a mess here.
Duan Yu said again: "If you have any scruples, you can go to the official road to detour, and we will meet in Cangzhou City in three days." The tone was flat, and there was no ripple at all.
Zhang Wuyi was very angry after hearing this, and thought: "Look at you, this means that we are all cowards?" ”
Ruo Xian pondered carefully, and always felt that Duan Yu would not go deep into the mountains of these two realms for no reason, there must be some purpose, but as for what the purpose was, she couldn't figure it out for a while. When Yan Zhiyan saw this situation, he knew that there was no hope of detouring, but he quieted down.
As soon as the five of them decided, they immediately turned over and got on their horses, and slowly walked in the direction of the two realms mountains.
Duan Yu walked in the front alone, Yan Zhi and Yan Xun followed, Zhang Wuyi and Ruoxian walked last, and after a while, the three of them crossed the stone tablet that was one person high and officially entered the Two Realms Mountain.
The dense forests in the mountains of the two realms are entangled, the green trees are staggered, a winding mountain road from west to east, just like the jade belt is natural, the forest trees here are mostly evergreen, although it has entered autumn now, but it is still green, and it is more deep and terrifying.
The mountain is quiet, only the horses are stepping on the formation, echoing through the opposite valley, enduring in the ears for a long time, the more so, the more people feel weird, Yan Zhiyan Xun can't help but think of the scene of the strong man eating people, and he doesn't feel a chill down his spine, and a cold sweat flows.
The further they went, the smoother the road became, and at last the trees on both sides became sparse, and the five of them walked again, and after a long time, they came to a low slope. At this moment, Zhang Wuyi's heart became vigilant, and then the three horses became irritable one after another, screaming endlessly, and could no longer take half a step.
Yan Zhiyan didn't know that there was a change, and he whipped violently, and the horse was in pain, but he still didn't move forward, but he neighed, his front feet were volleyed, his back feet were facing the ground, and he stood up straight.
Ruoxian was shocked when he saw this, and shouted urgently: "Zhi'er, Xun'er be careful!" was about to jump off the horse, who knew that there were two people faster, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Wuyi and Duan Yu had already deceived themselves, one of them grabbed the saddle, stagnation violently, and fixed the horse with a thousand pound falls, and the other person slapped out two palms and brushed Yan Zhiyan Xun, so that the two of them landed safely, so that the two of them were unharmed, and it was a false alarm.
Yan Zhi was shocked, and suddenly scolded again: "Dead horse, rotten horse, what kind of character are you doing here, see if I don't whip you......" After speaking, he was about to whip down.
"Zhi'er, don't mess around!" Ruoxian scolded, jumped off the horse, and protected the two of them. Yan Zhi and Yan Xun were all shocked, but soon understood that someone must be secretly making a mistake and startling the horse, so it would be like this, and inadvertently remembered what Ruoxian said before, and the two hugged each other in fright.
Zhang Wuyi suddenly snorted coldly and shouted to one place: "Friend, since you're here, why don't you come out and see you?"
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen big men with knives and axes suddenly popped out of the surrounding bushes, but seeing that they were all bearded and vicious, as soon as they saw Zhang Wuyi, they surrounded them, and they couldn't stop looking, their eyes were full of greed. Immediately after, a man in gray walked out from behind them, this man had an ugly face, like a judge, and a pair of eyebrows were joined together to form a long word.
The gray-clothed man first glanced at the five people, and then said gloomily: "Heh, a few are really distinguished guests, I thought that there were no people in the mountains of these two realms for a long time, but I didn't expect that five ...... would come today" Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Ruoxian, and suddenly the light in his eyes skyrocketed, revealing obscenity, and he said excitedly: "There is actually a stunning girl inside? It seems that God treats me well, and I am going to transfer Lu Ah Cai today." ”
When the dozen or so bandits heard this, they all laughed lewdly, their eyes were obscene, mixed with *, staring at Ruoxian.
Ruoxian was extremely disgusted in his heart, and secretly scolded: "You thieves are so bold, even your aunt and grandmother dare to tease, and you will dig out your tricks later." ”
I only heard one of the strong men suddenly say: "Steward Lu, do you need to tell a few masters?"
Lu Acai rolled his eyes and interrupted: "The announcement is naturally a confession, but we have to enjoy it first, if we go back to the confession now, and a few masters will bring people back, how can we have any business?"
Zhang Wuyi suddenly snorted coldly and shouted to one place: "Friend, since you're here, why don't you come out and see you?"
