Before noon, the heroes finally arrived in Korla City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the residents of the city saw so many people with swords pouring into the heavy snow, they thought for a moment that horse thieves had entered the city. The group had no choice but to ask General Qian Shen to go out again and go to explain.
As an important transit city at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Korla City is not short of materials. The accommodation of more than 2,000 people has become a problem, and in desperation, most of the heroes can only live in tents.
Xia Lingshuang took Xuanqi and Ling'er to talk to Qingxu and Xiao Zhan, and went to the stronghold of the "Tianshan Blue Flame Valley" in the city.
The three of them walked along the street for more than a mile, and when they saw that they were almost at the north gate, they saw a group of people gathered in front of a north store.
Xia Lingshuang saw that it was the stronghold of the "Tianshan Blue Flame Valley" in Korla City, and he was suddenly startled and shouted: "Not good!" He had already rushed over, and Xuan Qi and Ling'er followed closely behind.
Pushing aside the crowd, I saw two catchers standing in front of the door. The three of them stepped forward, but they were arrested and stopped quickly: "What are you doing? The government is handling the case, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ”
Xia Lingshuang didn't say much, Ling'er took out a white token from his arms and threw it to one of them. The catcher caught it quickly, but saw a blue flame engraved on the token. He was stunned for a moment, and said in a respectful tone: "Wait a minute, a few people!" and turned around to report inside.
After a while, the catcher walked out with a middle-aged man who looked like a catcher, and the catcher took a few steps forward, respectfully presented the white token with both hands, and said, "Korla has seen Miss Xia." ”
"Excuse me!" Xia Lingshuang waved his hand and walked in. Ling'er stepped forward to put away the token and followed. Xuan Qi and Liu Hai followed in.
As soon as I entered the North Shop, I saw that the scene was messy, and there were four or five corpses lying in the hall. Xia Lingshuang exclaimed sadly: "Third uncle!" was already pounced on a corpse. Ling'er also knelt on the side, crying profusely.
Seeing that the two of them were so sad, Xuan Qi naturally knew that the deceased was someone close to Xia Lingshuang, and he was also a little sad at the moment. But it was not good to step forward to comfort Xia Lingshuang, so he had to stand aside silently.
After a while, Xia Lingshuang stopped crying and sat aside. Xuan Qi stepped forward, took out a white handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to Xia Lingshuang. But it was the piece that Xia Lingshuang took out when Xuan Qi was injured last time.
Xia Lingshuang took it and said, "Thank you!" she put her hand into the hat to wipe away her tears. stretched out his hand, but returned the handkerchief to Xuan Qi. Xuan Qi was stunned, originally wanted to return the handkerchief to Xia Lingshuang, but seeing that Xia Lingshuang was still in grief, he had to take the handkerchief and put it in his arms.
Xuan Qi asked about Xia Lingshuang, only to know that the deceased was Xia Chongxiao's third junior brother, but he grew up watching Xia Lingshuang since childhood, and the two had a very good relationship.
When Xia Lingshuang calmed down, he found the head-catching bangs and asked, but it turned out that some residents in the city came to buy goods this morning, but they saw that the door of the north store was closed, and there was a faint smell of blood. When I went to the window to look, I saw corpses all over the ground. The man was frightened and hurriedly ran to the government to report the case, and Liu Hai took a group of arresters to the North Store not long ago.
The three of them stepped forward to take a closer look, and Xuan Qi and Xia Lingshuang saw that the wound of the deceased was caused by the killer sword technique. Xia Lingshuang suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?"
"The goal of the killer organization is very clear, it is to come to the Blue Flame Valley, I don't know if there will be anything in the valley!"
Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "There is a possibility!"
Xia Lingshuang was anxious in her heart, and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, Brother Qi and I rushed to the Blue Flame Valley first. You stay to take care of the third uncle's funeral, and by the way, talk to Uncle Qingxu and Grandpa Xiao Zhan. He turned his head to Liu Hai and said, "Liu Zhutou, everything is bothering you to help." ”
Liu Hai hurriedly said: "Miss Xia, don't worry!"
"Thank you!" Xia Lingshuang finished speaking, but walked out of the store first, and Xuan Qi had to follow closely.
But the two did not ride horses, but walked out of the north gate quickly, and when they walked for a short time, the mountain road was rugged, and it was difficult for the horses to gain a foothold on the mountain road after the snow.
The two hurried to find a mess of footprints at the bottom of a hillside, about four or five pairs of different footprints. Obviously, the people in front of them have not passed too long, and the snowflakes have not yet covered the footprints.
Before dark, the two of them rushed to a pass between two mountains, and the footprints in front of them became clearer. Xia Lingshuang felt that something was wrong when he was far away, this was the mountain gate of the "Tianshan Blue Flame Valley", and standing on the pass, he could clearly see people coming from afar. Sure enough, when they entered the pass, there were the corpses of two Blue Flame Valley disciples lying on the ground.
Xia Lingshuang didn't care about collecting the bodies of the two senior brothers, and quickly rushed out. Xuan Qi saw that the blood on the wound of the corpse had not yet congealed, so he stepped forward and touched it, and sure enough, there was still temperature on the corpse.
Xuan Qi was out of the pass, and Xia Lingshuang had already swept more than ten zhang away, so he hurried a few steps before catching up. The two followed the footprints and chased forward.
It was getting dark, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was hard to see anything far away. Fortunately, these footprints have been heading in the direction of Blue Flame Valley, as long as you find the right direction, you don't need to pay attention to the footprints in front of you.
The two were tired and hungry, but they didn't dare to slow down. At midnight, we finally arrived at the second pass. The pass was the same as the first pass, but there were two more corpses.
Xia Lingshuang looked crazy, and when he got out of the pass, he even quickened his pace. Xuan Qi's internal strength was not as good as Xia Lingshuang's, and he was soon left behind. Xia Lingshuang had to stop and wait for Xuan Qi.
At dawn, the footprints in front of me were gone. The two didn't care, grabbed a few handfuls of snow to satisfy their hunger, and chased forward again.
Both of them had not rested for two days and two nights, and their steps were getting heavier and heavier, and they could hear each other's panting a little farther away.
At noon, I turned a hillside and saw a snowy peak rising from the ground in the distance. Xia Lingshuang told Xuan Qi that Blue Flame Valley was behind that snow peak. The two quickened their pace and struggled forward.
In the evening, the two finally arrived at the foot of the snowy peak and began to climb upward. The snowflakes in the sky couldn't see the road, so they could only climb up with Xia Lingshuang's feeling. The mountains are getting higher and higher, and when you stand on the road, you tend to look up at the cliffs and down at the cliffs.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the two passed under a hillside. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound overhead, and Xia Lingshuang shouted: "Oh no! Avalanche!" Looking up, he saw that on the hillside above his head, white snowdrifts flowed downward like a flood.
The sound grew louder and louder, and in an instant it was already deafening. The two of them sped forward, trying to break out of the avalanche.
Xuan Qi followed closely behind, and suddenly saw a huge piece of snow loose above his head, and it was already smashing towards Xia Lingshuang. Xuan Qi was shocked and shouted: "Be careful!" Xia Lingshuang looked up, trying to dodge but it was too late, her head was empty, but she was stunned.
