Chapter 18: On the Mountain of Silent Night

Lu Zhicheng and Lai Jiyun sent Xian Yunhuan to the gate of the villa, and after the two sides said goodbye, Xian Yunhuan drifted away. Seeing the reluctant appearance www.biquge.info of the three masters and apprentices, and thinking that he came out alone, he couldn't help but show envy in his eyes.

When Xian Yunhuan walked away, Le Yiyang also said goodbye: "Master Lu, I have been in Guizhuang for some time, thank you and the girl for your hospitality, keep it in mind." I will leave for Kaifeng Mansion today, and there will be a period later. Lai Jiyun was stunned in his heart, turned his head to look at Le Yiyang, thought for a moment, and said: "If Le Gongzi doesn't dislike it, Yun'er is willing to go together." ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhicheng was not surprised by Lai Jiyun's decision. Since Le Yiyang came to Youyun Villa, he found that his junior sister's behavior was different from usual, but he didn't expect her to secretly agree to Le Yiyang, so he smiled and said: "Yun'er, now that you have grown up and have your own ideas, senior brother can't manage too much, it's good to go out and see it." ”

Le Yiyang is full of emotions at the moment, his father's revenge has not yet been avenged, the border crisis has not been resolved, the villagers are still living in the shadow of the Khitan, and the private feelings of the children should have been put aside. But since he met Lai Jiyun, Le Yiyang was attracted by her words and deeds, and his mind was full of her figure, and when he saw that she wanted to walk with him, he said, "I am really fortunate to be pitied by the girl in the next place." ”

Lu Zhicheng has also gained a lot of knowledge since he met Le Yiyang. Now seeing that his sister likes him so much, he also intends to match this marriage. Lu Zhicheng pulled Ji Yun aside and told her: "Senior sister, Le Gongzi doesn't know martial arts, and your thousand-shaped swordsmanship is not enough for the harness, so you must be calm when you encounter unexpected things." ”

Lai Ji Yunjiao said in a coquettish voice: "Got it, good senior brother." Why do you seem to be so verbose today, and people are not three-year-olds. Lu Zhicheng smiled and said: "It's good that Senior Sister knows, otherwise if something happens, Master will blame me when he comes back." Lai Ji Yun also laughed heartily, she knew that her senior brother was for her own good, and in this world, her senior brother loved her like her own brother.

Lu Zhicheng instructed Zhuang Ding to bring two fine horses and hand over the whips to Lai Jiyun and Le Yiyang. Lu Zhicheng found that there was no self-defense sword in Le Yiyang's luggage, and without thinking about it, he handed him the sword in his hand: "Le Gongzi, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you have this Qingyun Xuankong Sword with you, just in case of accidents." Le Yiyang saw that this sword was worn by Lu Zhicheng, and it was something he usually cherished, and he had seen its power in the Miyun Cave yesterday, so where would he take the love of others, so he immediately refused.

Lu Zhicheng guessed his thoughts and said, "Le Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, you and I will be a family in the future." As soon as the words fell, he had already handed the sword to Le Yiyang's hand. Le Yiyang was in a dilemma at this time, but he heard Lu Zhicheng say: "You can rest assured, I still have many such swords in my village." Nowadays, people who walk the rivers and lakes do not have a decent sword on their bodies, and they will be degraded by other martial arts people. "Le Yiyang is a Confucian student, so naturally he doesn't know this.

Seeing that he was at a loss, Lai Jiyun said with a smile: "Young Master Le, my senior brother has a lot of kindness, you better accept it." This Qingyun Xuankong Sword is something that many people can think of but can't get. Le Yiyang listened, knowing that this was because of Ji Yun, so he took the long sword and said goodbye to Lu Zhicheng.

Lu Zhicheng stood on the side of the road, looking at the figures of Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun riding away on horseback, thinking that he would be able to see his little sister again after a while, and couldn't help but burst into tears. When the backs of the two disappeared into the distance, Lu Zhicheng turned back to the village and summoned hundreds of his subordinates to discuss major matters.

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun left Youyun Villa, traveled east for another seven days, went out of Luzhou City, and came to a place called Jingye Mountain. Lai Jiyun is no stranger to Jingye Mountain, and has been here with his master and brother before.

Lai Jiyun saw that Le Yiyang was at a loss here, so he took the initiative to introduce: "Le Gongzi, this mountain is called Jingye Mountain, the mountain is six hundred meters high, stretches for several miles, after this mountain, within two days, you can go to Weizhou." Jingye Mountain is the treasure of the Pingshan faction in the martial arts, and idlers are not allowed to enter and exit at will, so they can only take a detour......"

Le Yiyang listened to what Ji Yun said, and thought to himself: "This is really a strange thing that has never been encountered before. There are clouds in the Book of Songs: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Why did Jingye Mountain just become the territory of the Pingshan faction? People are not allowed to enter and exit at will, this is still not the land of the Great Jin Dynasty?" Since the Huangchao Uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, for more than 80 years, all the major factions on the rivers and lakes have only listened to the instructions of the martial arts alliance leader and never paid attention to the call of the government. The government only watched from the sidelines, and did not dare to interfere too much in the affairs of the various sects.

Lai Jiyun finished speaking in one breath, and when he saw that it was getting late, he said to Le Yiyang: "Look at the current hour, we may have to stay in Jingye Mountain tonight." Le Yiyang said: "Come girl, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, you don't have to sleep with you in the next wind." Lai Jiyun smiled and said, "Young Master Le, you don't have to live outside tonight." The Pingshan faction has a relationship with my master, and now that we are passing by here, we should pay a visit to the mountains. Le Yiyang wanted to meet the Pingshan faction, so he followed her up the mountain.

The two walked for about half a mile, and at the end of the road they saw a mountain gate, and a white flag was erected at the door, on which were written the three big characters "Pingshan faction". Standing under it stood two men wearing withered straw hats and gray shirts. Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun walked forward, and the two of them suddenly became vigilant, pulled out the big knife in their hands, and asked in a loud voice: "Who is the person who came, who dares to trespass on my Pingshan faction!"

Seeing this, Lai Jiyun pressed the sword on his waist with his hand, Le Yiyang hurriedly shook his head to signal her, stepped forward alone, dismounted and said: "Two strong men, please stop your anger! We are from Youyun Villa, we are late today, and we want to spend the night on the mountain." When the two heard the word "Youyun Villa", they glanced at each other, and said nervously: "Jingye Mountain is a holy place for me, and I never entertain uninvited idlers. ”

Before the man could finish speaking, Lai Jiyun had already flown down from the horse, and in the blink of an eye, her long sword was already aimed at the man's throat: "You are presumptuous, we came to visit with kindness, but you were called an idle person by you." ”

The two of them were just about to raise their knives, but Ji Yun kicked one of them to the ground, but the other person raised the big knife and slashed at her chest. Lai Jiyun dodged sideways, holding the man's hand holding the knife with one hand, only to hear the man's "ahhhhh Seeing that the matter was getting worse, Le Yiyang hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and said apologetically: "Two strong men, we passed by your place today, and we were offended. Then he said to Lai Jiyun: "Come girl, raise your noble hand and let this strong man go." Lai Jiyun snorted, and then let go of his hand.

The two of them suffered this loss, thinking that they could not defeat the woman in front of them, so they took advantage of Ji Yun's inattention and turned around and fled towards the mountain.

Le Yiyang looked at the backs of the two of them who were about to disappear, and he didn't know what to do, and said, "Come girl, these two people want to go back to move the rescuers." When we first arrived at Silent Night Mountain, we had a grudge against the Pingshan faction. How's that going to be?"

Lai Jiyun was not nervous, slowly inserted the sword back into the sheath, and said with a smile: "Young Master Le, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are not reasonable and can be explained. My master is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and my senior brother is in Youyun Villa, if he doesn't have excellent skills, he can control everyone. This Pingshan faction is only five hundred miles away from Youyun Villa, and everyone usually has a good relationship, and the prestige of the master and the senior brother, they must have heard of it. I went to visit today, but they were so rude to us, if Master and Senior Brother knew that I was being bullied by other sects outside, they would definitely help me out of this. ”

Seeing that Ji Yun was reasonable, Le Yiyang naturally didn't have the convenience to argue with her, so he just waited patiently. After a while, the two men came down from the mountain. They were followed by a man in his thirties, dressed in a white robe. The man walked to the gate of the mountain and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the distinguished guests arrived, and I missed the welcome." ”

Lai Jiyun looked at him with slanted eyes, and said coldly, "Your Pingshan faction is a decent martial artist, but the way you treat guests is so rude. The man looked at Ji Yun, walked over and said kindly: "You must be here girl, I have heard about what happened just now." ”

He also said to Le Yiyang: "In Xiapingshan, the eldest disciple Bai asked, dare to ask the name of the son?"

Le Yiyang saw that this Bai asked about his dignified appearance, his words were humble and polite, and he was a big disciple of the Pingshan faction, he couldn't help but be impressed by him, and dismounted and replied, "Le Yiyang in Xiataiyuan, passing by your place today, fortunately, fortunately!" Bai asked and looked at Le Yiyang, I heard that he was from Taiyuan, and he was accompanied by the second lady of Youyun Villa, so he must have a great background, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and after greetings, he invited them to go up the mountain to rest.

Lai Jiyun smiled slightly and said, "This girl is trying to go up the mountain with Le Gongzi to meet the old man Chu, so good." Bai asked: "Come to the girl, my Pingshan faction is shining." ”

Le Yiyang walked behind Lai Jiyun and went straight to the Silent Night Mountain. Passing through the mountain gate, there is a stone staircase in front of you, which stretches straight into the mountain, with a length of about 300 meters. The staircase is flanked by large green trees, their branches intersecting in the air, and the whole stone staircase is shrouded in cold shade. Climbing up the steps, there is an open field in front of you, and at this time there are disciples practicing martial arts. There is a building on the side of the mountain, and the houses are neatly located, and a faint smoke can be seen rising from time to time. At this time, Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun were already weak in their legs and panting. Bai asked, but he still walked towards the building like a fly. The two had to pick up the pace.
