Chapter 377: The World Gathering (I)
Leaving Jifeng Restaurant, Canglong continued to walk in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain. And at this moment, Red Cloud followed from behind......
Canglong felt it, looked back, and saw Hongyun running to him in a few steps. When Canglong saw it, he didn't know what to mean, so he stopped and couldn't help asking, "Miss Hongyun, what are you doing with me?"
Hongyun chased here from Jifeng Restaurant, took a few breaths, and then said with a smile: "Canglong Hero, I'm ...... I still have something to ask you. ”
"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" Canglong asked again.
"It's still about Xiao Tian Xiao Shaoxia...... Hongyun said what he meant, "I heard that Xiao Tian Xiao Shaoxia has no news since the end of the Bianliang Kendo Conference, and now someone has asked me to look for him, and I don't know where to find it...... I searched all over Henan, and now when I came to this pass, I actually saw someone who had witnessed the kendo conference, and I felt lucky. ”
"Is that what you're for?" Canglong asked softly.
"That's right," Hongyun continued to reply, "The strong man who asked in the restaurant before is also the big brother of the strong man, and now you are the Canglong hero, and you have all been to the kendo conference in Bianliang. That being the case, I would like to ...... I guess I can know some clues about this......"
Hearing this, Canglong turned his head slightly, thought for a while, and then asked softly, "Miss Hongyun, are you...... You've been to kendo tournaments too?"
"Been there—" Red Cloud replied simply.
"Why do you insist on looking for that guy named Xiao Tian, or do you ...... What is the relationship between you and him?" Keep asking.
"No, it's okay......" Hongyun seemed to be a little hidden, and said a little hesitantly, "It's just that someone asked me to find Xiao Shaoxia." So...... That's why ......"
Canglong continued to think about it, and then asked, "Miss Hongyun, have you seen that person named Xiao Tian with your own eyes?"
"Of course I have seen it—" Hongyun continued to reply, "When the people of the Lu Mansion and the Nangong family faced off, there were two people who fought at that time, one was the rumored descendant of the Tang family, and the other was Xiao Tian Xiao Shaoxia, who used the Nine Transformation Sword Technique of the Divine Dragon?"
"You were there during the duel between the Lu Mansion......" Canglong couldn't help but sigh.
"yes—" Hongyun replied first, hearing Canglong's different tone. In turn, he asked, "Listening to what you said, did you also be there that time?"
"No, no......" Canglong immediately replied. "I just heard about that once......"
"Then Canglong Hero, do you have Xiao Shaoxia's whereabouts?" Hongyun continued to ask eagerly.
Canglong turned his head to look at Hongyun, looking at her somewhat anxious look, so he couldn't help but say, "It seems that Miss Hongyun, you are particularly anxious to find that guy named Xiao Tian, right......?"
"It's okay, it's okay......" Hongyun found that his love seemed to be a little excited, so he retracted his feelings a little.
Canglong looked at the red cloud. Quietly watched for a moment. Then he replied softly: "I've only heard of this person who is one of the 'Jianghu Bo', but I haven't seen it, it's just futile for you to ask me in such a hurry......" Although Canglong said this, his tone was a little strange, but his face was covered by a cold iron mask, and he couldn't see his expression at this time.
"Is it true?" Hongyun seemed to have an inexplicable premonition when he saw Canglong, so he asked with a little suspicion.
Canglong thought about it again. Then he asked, "Listen to your tone, Miss Hongyun, do you know what that guy named Xiao Tian looks like......
"Yes—" Red Cloud replied. "He is very recognizable, he has a knife wound on the left side of his face, and I can say that everyone who has seen him at the kendo tournament can recognize him, so I want to ...... If you really went to the kendo tournament at that time, you wouldn't have recognized it......"
Canglong was silent for a long time, as if his thoughts were constantly in his heart. Then, Canglong just turned his head sideways and whispered: "Okay, I haven't seen Xiao Shaoxia, no matter how much you ask me, Miss Hongyun, it's in vain." If you really want to find him, you should find someone else......"
"But who else can I find besides Canglong Hero?" Hongyun echoed in response, "In this pass, there are very few people who have been to the kendo tournament, and you are already very lucky to find Canglong Hero...... Moreover, listening to your tone, you don't seem to be telling the truth. You must have seen Xiao Shaoxia, and if you know what he looks like, you should have met at least once......"
"You're saying I'm lying...... Are you so sure?" Canglong asked with a chuckle.
"I feel this way......" Hongyun looked at Canglong with a slightly affectionate gaze, and gradually said in a calm tone, "From the first time I saw you, I had a feeling - I seemed to be able to sense your thoughts......"
Canglong listened, looked at the red cloud with his spare eyes for a while, and didn't speak for a long time, it seemed that the red cloud in front of him had the same feeling for himself......
The two were silent for a long time, and then Canglong came back to his senses first and interrupted: "In this pass, I'm afraid that there are more people who have been to the kendo conference...... Did you hear the strong man say in the restaurant just now? At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the Jishi Conference is about to begin, and many martial arts celebrities will gather at that time. I'm on the way to Zhongnan Mountain right now, if I'm lucky, maybe I can run into them, out of kindness, maybe they'll tell you some clues about Xiao Tian Xiao Shaoxia......"
"That's not bad...... Hongyun thought for a while, and then said to Canglong, "But listen to your tone of Canglong Hero, as a famous person in the martial arts, didn't you go to the Jishi Conference?"
Hearing this, Canglong smiled and said, "How could I, the 'Canglong' who has only recently appeared here, receive an invitation to the Jishi Conference? Moreover, I went to Zhongnan Mountain this time because I was entrusted by someone to have other important things to do, and the Jishi Conference was just a coincidence......
"What is the important thing for you to go to Zhongnan Mountain?" Hongyun asked again.
"It's someone else's matter that asks me, it's just some private matter......" Canglong replied slowly, as if he didn't want too many people to know about it.
"Someone else asked you, is that still a private matter?" Hongyun asked rhetorically, and she thought about it. Then he continued, "Otherwise, anyway, looking for Xiao Tian and Xiao Shaoxia will also be found." Canglong Hero, you are a person who has been to the kendo tournament again, and I don't have any clues now, so I might as well stay with you first-"
"Follow me?" Canglong asked softly.
"That's right, didn't you just say that?" Hongyun continued, "Out of Nanlin Town, it is Zhongnan Mountain, and then you may be able to meet the Zhongwulin seniors who participated in the Jishi Conference." If you're lucky, you might be able to ask some clues about Xiao Shaoxia's whereabouts......"
Canglong listened to it and smiled lightly: "Hmph." How can you be so sure that those martial arts celebrity seniors will have the heart to answer your little girl's question?"
"That's why I'm going to follow you—" Hongyun said to Canglong with a smile, "With you, the 'Canglong Hero', I believe that no matter how famous a martial arts celebrity is today." It's going to give you face. ”
"Hmph. You're a pretty smart girl......" Canglong smiled again, and then continued, "But how can you be so sure that I am the real Canglong?" What's more, as the strong man in the restaurant said, if Canglong really lives in the world, at least a hundred years old, do you think my age will be a real Canglong hero?"
"But you said it yourself. You're the dragon—" Red Cloud affirmed, "and I believe in you." Regardless of whether your identity is really a Canglong hero or not, but you at least have Canglong's martial arts, and you will make the 'Canglong Palm', let alone me, I'm afraid that even those famous martial arts celebrities have to be convinced——"
"Are you sure you want to follow me?" Canglong asked again.
"Of course, it's my honor to be with the long-famous Canglong hero in the rivers and lakes, and ......" Hongyun's eyes immediately became deep, and then continued to say to Canglong, "I can feel it, you...... You must know the clues to Xiao Shaoxia's whereabouts......"
Canglong continued to look at Hongyun's determined eyes, and then asked softly, "That's what you want...... Find him?"
Hongyun listened and was silent for a long time, she seemed to be hesitating about something, and thought for a long time. Finally, she raised her head again and said to Canglong in a firm tone: "Okay, I'll tell you that it's okay, Xiao Tian Xiao Shaoxia is for me...... It's a very important person—"
As soon as these words came out, Canglong paused for a long time, and his eyes under the mask were also uncertain...... After a long time, Canglong glanced at his head again, and then sighed behind him: "How about you with Miss Hongyun, but ...... You follow me, you won't be able to find him for the rest of your life......" Canglong's voice became smaller and smaller, especially the last sentence.
"What did you say?" Hongyun asked rhetorically, as if he had heard something unusual.
Canglong didn't look back, and replied simply and directly: "It's nothing, I am about to rush to Zhongnan Mountain now and have something important, if you want to follow me, come with me......"
So, Canglong quickened his pace and rushed in the direction of leaving Nanlin Town and going to Zhongnan Mountain, and Hongyun also quickened his pace to follow......
Although he had just said so many things about Xiao Tian, the conversation between the two was not affected much. In addition to Nanlin Town, walking on the mountain trails, the two are still talking and laughing, and they feel like good friends.
Especially Hongyun, as a girl, her love seems to be much happier than Canglong who wears an iron mask all day long, maybe it is a very lucky and happy thing to be able to laugh and laugh with a famous martial arts celebrity like Canglong, although it is still unknown whether the identity of this "Canglong hero" is true or false......
Along the way, Hongyun continued to ask Canglong: "Canglong-is this your real name?"
"Canglong is just my name, I don't have a name, it's been like this since I was born, just like you Hongyun girl, you don't have a name......" Canglong replied calmly, "You call me 'Canglong Hero', and I'm not used to it. To tell you the truth, no matter how old I am, I like to be young, and if you call me 'Brother Canglong', I think I'll be happier - when you greeted me for the first time at Jifeng Restaurant, didn't you just call me 'Big Brother'?"
"Okay, Brother Canglong—" Hongyun immediately smiled and changed his words.
Canglong thought for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "But Red Cloud Girl, don't you be curious, whether I am really a Canglong hero? When others see me and know that my name is 'Canglong', they will first suspect my identity, but you are different from them, you don't seem to care about these ......"
Hongyun listened, smiled and replied: "I never care if these are true or false, for me, Brother Canglong, you are a good person." The martial arts are high, and I am very happy to call you big brother...... What's more, the truth in the name. Sometimes...... may also be forced to ...... helplessly" Hongyun's last sentence, his expression suddenly lowered, and he had a slightly sad expression.
When Canglong heard this, he seemed to be deeply touched, he glanced at Hongyun's expression, and seemed to have other thoughts in his heart.
"If you go further ahead, it seems that you have really reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain......" Hongyun said, pointing ahead. "When I came to the border gate before, I have been here a few times, and I am somewhat familiar with the way here......
"Then I really want to thank you—" Canglong replied with a smile.
Hongyun glanced at Canglong again. He continued to ask: "Brother Canglong, although it may be a little inappropriate to ask like this, but I still want to know, Brother Canglong, you are in such a hurry to go to Zhongnan Mountain. It's not for the sake of the World Conference. What is that for?"
Canglong thought for a moment and asked softly, "Hmph, you just want to know that?"
Hongyun nodded slightly.
Canglong looked up at the front, and then continued: "There is a very important person who has entrusted me with a matter, and this matter is also a matter of importance. After knowing that I was Canglong, that person was relieved to hand over this matter to me......"
"That man...... Who is it?" asked Hongyun again.
Canglong smiled and didn't answer immediately. Subsequently. He turned his head sideways and whispered to Hongyun: "You'll know when you go, you will definitely be surprised......"
Red Cloud listened. Eyes widened slightly......
Canglong and Hongyun continued to walk downhill, and it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain......
Just as he was about to reach the fork in the road, Canglong raised his arm and motioned for Hongyun to stop, while leaning against a big tree and whispering to Hongyun behind: "There seems to be someone in front, Hongyun girl, don't go forward......"
Originally, he wanted to stop Hongyun, but a detail caught Canglong's attention - I saw that Hongyun was also vigilant, and he didn't wait for Canglong to remind him, as if he had sensed it and hid behind a big tree. At a distance of hundreds of zhang, he quickly sensed that someone was struggling, and generally speaking, only people with advanced martial arts skills had such vigilance, but the red cloud girl in front of him, who was full of freckles and had no stretch of hand, was ...... When Canglong saw this, his eyes couldn't help frowning......
"Is there something going on up ahead?" Hongyun's innocent and immature voice interrupted all of Canglong's thoughts at once. Canglong came back to his senses at this time, and refocused his gaze on the open space in front of him at a distance of hundreds of zhang, and then said: "There seem to be people in front, it seems that there are many people gathered together." And you can vaguely feel that the people in front of you have deep martial arts internal strength, and it seems that there are unusual martial arts people haunted......"
Hongyun thought for a while, patted his head and said softly: "Oh, why didn't I think that this is the foot of Zhongnan Mountain-"
When Canglong heard this, he also responded: "Then if you say that, those martial arts people in front of you ...... By the way, it's the Jishi Conference, what the strong man said when he was in the Jifeng Restaurant before--just in time for us to catch up, all the martial arts celebrities of the Jishi Conference will gather here, it seems that we have to delay some time......"
"What's wrong?" Hongyun asked again.
Canglong continued to reply, "I'm going to rush to the place of important business now, and I happened to pass through this path. I only recognize this road, and if I want to pass directly under the noses of all martial arts celebrities, it is impossible at all...... I'm afraid that if we don't wait for these martial arts celebrities to finish the conference, we will have to wait here silently......"
"How do you know this is the only way to your destination?" Red Cloud asked again.
Canglong sighed softly, and then continued: "Hey, the person who entrusted me before only told me to pass through the road at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I am also a newcomer, and I am not familiar with the road here, what can I do?
"Don't look at me, I don't know ......" Hongyun immediately raised his head and responded, "After all, I'm also a foreigner, and I've only been here a few times." Besides, I don't know who you're looking for, Brother Canglong, how do you know where to look?"
"Hey, now I can only take one step at a time...... However, it is not a bad thing to see who will come to the Jishi Conference and what to talk about, although it may delay some time...... "Canglong can only consider himself unlucky now, and he and Hongyun hid together in a place hundreds of miles away from the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, waiting for the situation. And Canglong has deep martial arts and excellent hearing, and can vaguely hear the voice of people talking hundreds of miles away, Canglong thought to himself that maybe he could get some unexpected situations and news at the Jishi Conference......
