Chapter 13: Jingtan

This Ferris Ridge is a section of the Mangdang Mountains that stretches for thousands of miles, towering, majestic and precipitous, although this section of the Skyscraper Ridge is high, but it is the thinnest section of the Mangdang Mountains from north to south, so it has become the main road between the north and the south.

The path to the canyon is wide and the terrain is flat. Seven or eight horses and mules could be carried side by side, but it took two days to cross the mountains and enter the plains. These are all roads where merchants pack a caravan, and ordinary people are not in a hurry.

If you go over the mountains and mountains, although the Moyun Ridge is high, but the slope is gentle, you can cross it in one day, there are many mountain roads, and there is no pain in climbing the heights. The mountain road is also smooth and solid, familiar with the mountain road and the journey, or there is no mule and horse cumbersome most choose this road.

Although the canyon is wide, there is only one road, and the mountains on both sides are jammed, it is easy to ambush, and the horses can not pass over the mountains and mountains, but the horses of the two have been disposed of by the people of the Yanyulou in the south of the Yangtze River, and the two naturally choose a shortcut.

Xu Fei and the two of them immediately went up the mountain to find a secluded road and began to climb the mountain, and soon there was a person from the Yanyulou in the south of the Yangtze River to pass the news, and there were already good hands and the ambush soldiers of the Supreme Gate in front of each other, please change to another way, so many times but there was no trace of the enemy.

Xu Fei couldn't help but secretly admire, this Jiangnan Yanyu Building was really good, the enemy ambush soldiers knew everything, and he walked smoothly and without hindrance. Changsheng Hou was suspicious, holding a crossbow and kept visiting, Xu Fei was funny in his heart, his ears and eyes were smart, if there was an enemy, he could hear the sound of dozens of zhang, where was the use of Changsheng Hou like this, but it was also inconvenient to persuade him, let him go.

By noon, the two of them were close to the peak, and this was still Xu Fei taking care of Changsheng Hou's feet and deliberately walking slowly, thinking that Changsheng Hou was wearing fine clothes and jade food on weekdays, where could he eat the pain of climbing the mountain with these legs, even if he stepped into the temple before, he must have hired a sedan chair with a sliding pole. I've been complaining for a long time, so I stopped and went.

After crossing the peak and starting to go down the mountain, there was still no trace of the enemy, but occasionally there were brothers in the door to send a letter pointing out the way down the mountain, and the road was safe and sound, and the two couldn't help but feel relieved.

Walk not far but hear the roar of the water, turn the road suddenly open, the front of the clouds and mist, the mist is swirling, a huge waterfall comes into view, the sun shines high, the rainbow appears from time to time, the clouds and mist will be half of the mountain peaks are shrouded in the clouds, the scenery is refreshing.

After a short walk down the mountain road, you will reach the impact pool under the waterfall, the mountain road winds down from the edge of the pool, and the water mist wets the steps, and there is a faint layer of pale green moss, like a road paved with jasper.

The two of them approached the pool, and the mist of the waterfall was all stained with a layer of damp beads. The Immortal Marquis looked at the magnificent scenery like a natural picture scroll and became poetic again, and slowly chanted at the moment:

"The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river.

Flying down 3,000 feet~"

Xu Fei couldn't hold back next to him, if you don't know this poem, it's okay, if you know, it's hard for others to recite a real sentence, Xu Fei is originally frivolous and impetuous, otherwise his internal strength would not progress so slowly.

Listening to the last sentence, the immortal marquis immediately pulled his throat and continued: "It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days~"

After groaning, Xu Fei bent his left hand in front of his chest, and his right hand was behind his back like a Confucian student, with his chest folded and his belly folded, with a half-smug and half-snickering look on his face.

When Changsheng Hou heard Xu Fei's words, he was as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, he was stunned, his eyes looked at Xu Fei, and he couldn't help but shed tears, his eyes were full of excitement, regret, surprise, and excitement.

Xu Fei peeked at it, and "suddenly" beat the drum in his heart, just now he knew that it was the Changsheng Hou who saw the scene and recited a poem on the spot, but the difference between the other world let himself know in advance that it was a whim, and he wanted to play a prank, but he didn't expect the Changsheng Hou to suddenly look like this, and he couldn't help but feel like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down.

Just as he was worried, he saw Changsheng Hou take two steps to get closer, and he held Xu Fei's hand tightly in his hand, shaking his hands up and down vigorously, and tears fell down in tears. Xu Fei's three souls and seven spirits were half frightened, and just as he didn't know why Changshenghou was like this, he heard Changshenghou's voice choke and say:

"Bosom friend, bosom friend! Shaoxia martial arts can go to Ma An world, I didn't expect Wen Yi to mention the pen, the suspicion of the talented young man is that the Milky Way falls for nine days, and what I think in my heart is the same, just like the young man and my different body are of the same heart, bosom friend, bosom friend. Today, on this day, the poetry and literature of the furnace peak will meet the friends and the young man's heart, fortunately"

Xu Fei saw that Changshenghou was holding his left hand tightly with both hands, while tears were rippling, while choosing words and sentences, using the most gorgeous words and the most beautiful sentences to praise himself, knowing that this time he was causing trouble, so he could only shirk and vaguely say that he was on a whim, and occasionally had whims, and it took Changshenghou a while to slowly calm down.

Xu Fei thought in his heart, he remembered that the poems and essays in three words and five words were swaggering in another world, and all kinds of showmanship were really not done by people, so this time he felt a fever on his face and felt guilty when he started to play.

I heard that some literati in the capital, relying on the convenience of knowing the new poems of great writers first, went to the countryside to swagger and deceive, which is really hateful, and they will not be able to act like this in the future.

After watching the view of the waterfall, the two of them descended the moss-covered stone steps, and the mountain path twisted and turned, from the pond of the waterfall to the foot of the mountain to flow into a stream.

The waterway is divided into nine bays, and each big twist and turn has a pond, which is divided into nine waters and nine pools, all of which have elegant names. Spring mountains are like smiles, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, although it is early autumn, but there is no sense of gloom, such as stepping on the green to enjoy the spring, it makes people feel refreshed and happy.

The two of them walked briskly down the mountain, unconsciously came to the foot of the mountain, the last quiet pond of Jiushui is called "Qingliang Pond", so the bamboo forest is tall and dense, the water of this pool is shrouded in it, the sun is not seen all day long, so the water of the pool is clear, the cold and refreshing bones, even if it is the noon of midsummer, it is also cool as before, so it is named.

In the early autumn season, the weather is still quite hot and dry, the two of them are in a hurry all the way down the mountain, and they have reached the foot of the mountain, the dangerous place of Motianling has been turned over, and they will go to this waterhole to rest under the relaxation, relieve the heat of the body, and calm the anxious mood.

The two sat down in a pavilion by the pool, chatting and enjoying the coolness, Xu Fei had doubts in his heart for many days, and he couldn't be stuffy in his heart anymore when he was going to enter Beijing today, and asked the Marquis of Changsheng: "If there is something unclear, please ask the Hou Ye to mention more, that day the Zunmen Protector called me the head of the demon, I thought that good and evil were not separated, and I didn't take it to heart, but Chu Chu, Chu Jinghong are all called this for some reason?"

The Marquis of Changsheng replied: "This must be closely related to the wordless stele proverb that is once every few decades, and now I don't know the content of this proverb is impossible to talk about, this proverb is not only like the supreme gate and the huge power of the Jiangnan Yanyu Building, that is, the imperial court has the ability to know the content, the gate of eternity is guarded by people who have been passed down from generation to generation, the status is noble, the strength is exquisite, and its ethnic group does not ask about the world, never makes enemies, so ordinary people can't get the content, and the huge power is not provoked, and there is nothing to do." ”

"Now the plan, the young man should let go of his knot, since Chu Jinghong has been warmly invited, he will be able to find out after entering Beijing. ”

Although Xu Fei didn't solve his doubts when he heard it, his heart was still at ease.

Just watch Changsheng Hou take out a nest crossbow from the leather bag and look at it carefully, watching and studying it over and over again. Xu Fei asked: "What is Master Hou's opinion on this? I have only one or two about this, this blade ordnance and hidden weapon has been in contact with a lot in the past, and I have to follow the quality of the dart bureau to buy this kind of equipment."

Changshenghou didn't know what kind of object Xu Fei said, he didn't study it after listening to a lot of such words, and asked at the moment: "No one in the world can understand this kind of object, let alone imitation and repair, if Shaoxia has this ability, he is indeed a great talent, this thing can be attacked and injured by ordinary people in his hand, without strength, without hand-to-hand combat, it is really exquisite." ”

Xu Fei said with a smile: "This kind of crossbow is indeed used by ordinary people, it can be controlled without learning skills, and after the string is opened, there is no need to continue to pull the string hard, and the short-distance accuracy and lethality can be used." ”

Changsheng Hou said enviously: "Shaoxia is not only brave and invincible and brilliant, but also everyone is clever with this kind of equipment, he is really talented, genius, talent, I wonder if Shaoxia can be proficient in his control and use?"

Xu Fei smiled, took the crossbow and looked up and down, adjusted the position of the lower lookout mountain, pulled the bowstring apart, took out a crossbow arrow from the leather bag and put it on, and searched around. There is a mountain of red fruit trees on the left cliff of more than 30 steps, the fruit is still green in early autumn, and only the treetop can see the sun turning light red. Xu Fei turned around and pointed out the location of the red fruit to the Immortal Marquis, and chuckled: "Master Hou, take a closer look." ”

With a slight meow, a "whoosh" sound, the crossbow arrow had smashed the red fruit. When Changsheng Hou saw it, he clapped his hands again and again: "It's really exquisite, it's really exquisite!"

While the two were talking and laughing, Xu Fei suddenly had a cold air, and without thinking, he jumped out of the pavilion with Changsheng Hou. But he felt that the weight in his hand was light, and the crossbow in his hand had been broken into two, and the cut surface was like a quick knife.

Enemy attack!

At the moment, he drew his knife in his hand, signaling the Immortal Marquis to quickly stay away and concentrate on the enemy. Only then did Xu Fei feel a sudden chill in the air, and the feeling of a slight air flow disturbance jumped out, if it was a little slower, the reaction would be delayed, and it would not only be a crossbow, but it was not only a crossbow that the enemy would sneak attack and what strength he used.

There was nothing unusual about his eyes sweeping around, just a wet patch on the ground. Could it be that the coolness just now is the erosion of this water vapor?

I was thinking about it, and I saw a few soft sounds of "hissing" in the waterhole, and a few pieces of water flew like a transparent full moon scimitar! Xu Fei saw the coming, and flashed low and high, and the last piece had been shot like electricity, so he had to use a single knife to follow the water piece with a move "Wind and Remnant Clouds" to push it out, but he never expected that the water piece was unstoppable, and Xu Fei had already been hit by a blow with a "pounce".

I saw a column of water slowly protruding in the waterhole and turning into a human shape, trembling and trembling, swimming uncertainly and unable to see the facial features, and suddenly the water man let out a vague howl like a drowning man before he died.

"Decide on your own!"
