Chapter 11 Flying over the Ghost Waves
Zhuge Dongfang looked at the undulating, whirlpooling Ghost Wave River, pointed to the natural boulder that was no more than half a foot exposed in the center of the river, and said: "Others think that the Ghost Wave River is sad, like crossing the Hades River, haha...... Actually, for me, it's just walking on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Sir, has a good plan? This river is very weird!"
Zhuge Dongfang smiled confidently and said, "I think that back then, I went to the Western Regions with my master, passing through a big river that was sad through the sky, called the Luoyu River, and the situation of that river was much more dangerous than it is now. Hmph, bastard, spare your martial arts are good, and you won't have a way to meet this river, right?"
Miss Yuan Si patted Ah Yang who was behind her back, and said to Zhuge Dongfang: "Brother Zhuge , don't sell Guanzi, it's very important to save the child now...... Zhuge Dongfang smiled: "Exactly." Saying that, he beckoned to Li Xuan and said, "Your internal strength is not bad, you must come to help me." Li Xuan nodded, but he didn't know how he wanted to help him, and when he was puzzled, he saw Zhuge Dongfang untie the waist sword shaped like a belt from his waist. This waist sword is about three inches wide and no more than three feet long, isn't it the same blade that Zhuge Dongfang and Shen Wuxing used when they fought in front of the earth temple on the top of the king's mountain!
When Li Xuan saw this waist sword, he thought of the deceased Shen Wufear, and his heart was gloomy. Zhuge Dongfang pulled out the waist sword with a 'brush' and handed it to Li Xuan, but he pinched the scabbard sheath with his thumb and index finger, and took off the brass device fixed at the sheath with a slight force, and then shook it slightly, and untied a gold thread as thin as a hair from the scabbard.
It turned out that this hair-thin gold thread was wrapped around the scabbard, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have imagined that there was such a mystery outside the scabbard, which was as soft as a belt. Zhuge Dongfang saw that everyone was surprised, and he proudly tied the end of the gold thread firmly to the buckle of the hilt of the waist sword, and visually inspected the boulder in the middle of the river that was only half a foot abrupt and said: "If you want to cross the river, in addition to boating, you are building a bridge." But at the moment we don't have a boat, and even if we do, we can't guarantee that it will float on the whirlpool of the river. Therefore, the best way is for us to throw out our waist sword, nail it to the boulder in the center of the river, and then use the line as a bridge, fly up and step on this 'bridge' to cross the river. ”
Li Xuan, Yuan Si Girl, and Jin Shui were all taken aback when they heard this. The three of them knew that it would not be easy to accurately shoot this waist-like sword into the boulder during the day, let alone the dark night. But then I thought about it, and it seems that there is no good way to do it except this method. Seeing that the three of them were silent, Zhuge Dongfang smiled and said, "What are you worried about? But my scorpion venom was only removed a few days ago, and I was caught in the plot of loneliness and mute before, and I was not fully sure of my internal strength, so I asked the boy to help. Li Xuan nodded. Although he has cultivated strong internal strength, and has also learned the thirty-six martial arts, he has no bottom in his heart for such a meticulous throwing blade kung fu. Fortunately, Zhuge Dongfang, who has always been arrogant, was not stingy with this, and seeing that Li Xuan was obviously not confident, he taught him in detail how to transport the internal breath to his wrist and fingertips, how to cooperate with each other, and exert force at the same time.
Li Xuan is a smart person, and after practicing Baoyuan Divine Skill, his mind is more psychic, so he can comprehend it all in just a cup of tea. Although Zhuge Dongfang did not praise him when he saw this, his arrogant and gloomy face showed a rare look of admiration.
The two of them got ready and came to the bank of the river where the waves were splashing.
Zhuge Dongfang was in front, pinching the tip of the waist sword, and Li Xuan was behind, holding the hilt of the waist sword, and at the same time snorted and threw out the waist sword tied with gold thread. For the first time, due to the lack of cooperation between the two, although the waist sword stabbed the boulder, it did not nail it. dragged back their swords, and the two had to shake their hair again. In this way, it was not until the fifth time that the waist sword was wrapped in the strong internal force of the two, like the wolf tooth feather arrow shot by the strong bow and crossbow, cutting through the dark sky above the river, and finally with a crisp sound, it shot firmly into the boulder. Seeing this, the four couldn't help but hug and cheer like children.
The end was fixed properly, Zhuge Dongfang found a river stone weighing about thirty catties, tied this end of the gold thread firmly, turned his head to Li Xuan and said: "At present, you are the only one of the four of us who is full of vitality and has not lost your internal strength, so after we step on this gold line and get to the boulder in the river, you have to exert your strength to pull this river stone into your hands." If we fail, we still won't be able to cross the river, hey, because the line is only half as long as it is. Li Xuan pulled the gold thread when he heard this, and saw that although it was extremely thin, it was full of toughness, but he didn't know if he could withstand the power of pulling more than 30 catties of river stones from a distance.
Zhuge Dongfang seemed to understand the doubts in his heart, and said lightly: "Don't underestimate this golden line. It is harvested from a thousand-year-old silkworm silkworm, which is woven by the first weaving of the Suo family in Suoyang City, Northern Liang Kingdom of the Western Regions. As he spoke, he held the taut gold thread in both hands and pulled it hard. Everyone saw that Zhuge Dongfang was pulling hard, and his strength was not less than five or six hundred catties, so that the golden thread did not shrink or spread, and it was still the same as before, and they couldn't help but be amazed. Zhuge Dongfang said proudly: "This line is worth more than a thousand silver!"
When Li Xuan heard him say this, he said secretly: "Mulberry silk? Suoyang City Suo family? Isn't this related to the brocade silk net mentioned by Feng Xingyu and Yan Invincible on the bank of Longhu Pond?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "How did Sir get this treasure?"
Zhuge Dongfang seemed reluctant to answer, although he snorted coldly, he still said: "Although what you asked is so rude, it doesn't hurt to tell you." This golden thread was given to me by Master when he crossed the Luoyu River with me. According to Master, this golden thread was originally a net outline that he had obtained by accident. When Li Xuan heard this, he said secretly: "A line on the net! Could it be a line on the brocade silk net?" He looked up at the golden thread across the river in the faint moonlight, and saw that the golden thread was shining in a trance under the moonlight, and it was reflected by the surging river, flickering and flickering, and it was extremely difficult to jump up.
It seems that it is more difficult to walk this golden line than to walk a tightrope, and if you suddenly encounter a strong wind or are disturbed by external objects halfway through, the person walking will fall into the river.
Li Xuan hesitated, couldn't help but look at the three people beside him, only to see Zhuge Dongfang looking arrogant, Jin Shui was at a loss, only Yuan Si girl looked at her eagerly, her face was full of expectation, as if she was worried that she would refuse because of the risk, so that Ah Niu and Ah Yang could not rush to the dust-free villa in the shortest possible time. No matter whether their children are far or near, all mothers in the world will involuntarily care about their happiness and safety, not to mention that at this time, Ah Niu and Ah Yang have been tortured by Mr. Lonely. Li Xuan smiled slightly at Miss Yuan Si, hugged Zhuge Dongfang, and said lightly: "Please rest assured, sir, the juniors should do their best and go all out." After speaking, he jumped lightly and flew on the golden thread.
This time, he jumped on the gold thread and crossed the river with light body kung fu, and the test he endured was unprecedented. You must know that although the two ends of the golden thread are fixed, but to walk safely over a distance of more than 20 zhang, in addition to having superior light skills, the will not to be afraid of danger, and the idea of being calm like water, you also need a heart without hesitation. Zhuge Dongfang saw Li Xuan leap onto the golden thread, his arms outstretched, and his feet were not slow, flying towards the boulder in the middle of the river like a dragonfly in water, and said secretly: "I saw that although this young man's martial arts were not good earlier, he faintly had the style of ancient chivalry. Now, I don't know what kind of fate he has gotten and cultivated a good skill...... If this person is a friend, he will not change his money, but if he becomes an enemy, he will be a fierce enemy. Hey...... If you want to take his life now, you only need to gently shake or cut the gold wire, and he will fall into the river......" was thinking wildly, and heard Li Xuan say from afar: "Mr. Zhuge has arrived safely. Which of you comes first?"
When Zhuge Dongfang heard this, he retracted his thoughts and said to Yuan Si and Jin Shui in a deep voice: "Give me the child." I'll cross the river first. ”
Miss Yuan Si knew that if she was carrying a child weighing dozens of pounds, she was indeed not fully sure that she would jump across the river by stepping on the golden thread, nodded and handed over the sleeping sheep to Zhuge Dongfang. Zhuge Dongfang's light work is really good, although the vitality has not recovered, but the left and right hands holding A Yang and A Niu jumped on the golden line, and also walked on the boulder. Among the three, Jin Shui was the weakest, but fortunately, after several dangers, he finally reached the boulder in the river safely. According to the method taught by Zhuge Dongfang, Li Xuan pulled the river stone tied to one end of the golden thread into his hand, and threw it to the other side of the river. In this way, the four of them stepped on the golden thread in turn to the other side of the river. This toss took more than two hours, until Li Xuan and Zhuge Dongfang pulled the golden thread together, pulled the waist sword out of the boulder, and the four of them finally completely crossed the Ghost Wave River.
On the other side of the river is a large area of bushes of varying heights.
Zhuge Dongfang and Yuan Si girl were in front, carrying the child on their backs, leading Li Xuan and Jin Shui to run forward along the river bank for three or five miles, found a rugged and winding path, and ran along the path. Along the way, Li Xuan took advantage of the moonlight to find a few more guiding arrows left by Tang Bing, and couldn't help but lift his spirits, and put his mind at ease, knowing that he was not taking the wrong path.
The four of them all rushed to a hurry until dawn broke and saw a manor in the distance.
It's a big estate!
Through the morning mist, Li Xuan saw that the villa was built on the back of a high mountain that looked like a ball, and the scale was huge and staggering. The closer you go, the clearer you see. I saw that all the houses in the village are built of pine locust logs, and the roof is paved with thatch or tile-shaped wooden planks, which is simple and natural, and the mixed trees that are planted at will, sometimes showing half of the body and sometimes popping up with a small half of the head, are intertwined, and they are majestic. The four of them and the two children gradually approached, and before they approached the villa, they suddenly heard a leisurely sound of an ancient bell floating from the round mountain. The sound of the ancient bell flutters and looms, echoing endlessly in the faint morning light and shadow and the fragrance of mountains and wild grasses, making people feel intoxicated and forget their sorrows.
Zhuge Dongfang and the others walked forward slowly, looking around at the surrounding mountains, and their arrogant expressions were unconsciously restrained. He looked up to the sky and said lightly: "I heard that the dust-free villa is lonely outside the world, whether it is the person who lives or the building of the house, it is not stained with a little dust in the world, leisurely, self-satisfied, and it is true that it is not false when I see it today." When Li Xuan heard this, he said curiously: "Hasn't Mr. been here?" Seeing Zhuge Dongfang nodded, he couldn't help but say even more strangely: "Then how do you know the path here?" Zhuge Dongfang sneered: "As a first-class warrior of the inner court, I am in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, although I can't know in detail the seclusion of the strange people on the rivers and lakes, but I always have to know seven, eight or nine. If it weren't for that, wouldn't it have been in vain to take the court's money!"
Li Xuan heard him play an official tone, and he didn't want to talk, so he smiled and said, "I see." ”
Yuan Si girl saw that it was almost dustless villa, and the breath in her heart was finally relieved, and at this time, she heard Zhuge Dongfang and Li Xuan say something that had nothing to do with Ah Niu and Ah Yang to heal her wounds, and she was very impatient: "Let's not have to rub it off, let's go and see the owner of the village quickly, and ask him to treat the child." Zhuge Dongfang shook his head and said, "Fourth sister, don't worry. People like this kind of people who live outside the world are quiet and not easy to disturb, and they are most taboo for others to disturb rashly. Slowly, not in a hurry. Miss Yuan Si said anxiously: "What should I do? Don't knock on the door slowly like the book says, right?"
Li Xuan saw that she was so anxious, why shouldn't he be! It's just strange that the closer he got to the villa, he never saw the guiding arrow left by Tang Bing again. Could it be that Tang Bing and Ah Ying were taken captive here by thieves, and suddenly they were turned to other places, and they didn't have time to leave their markers? He deliberately took a few steps back, paying close attention to the situation around him.
However, on both sides of the not very wide bluestone road leading to the villa, except for some clusters of wild flowers of various colors, or three or two miscellaneous trees, there is not even a thirty or fifty pound of mountain rocks, so naturally it is impossible to leave a marker!
Li Xuanzheng was anxious, and suddenly saw a small ball of white silk cloth under a wildflower not far from the roadside, so he pretended to be tired, slowly leaned over, picked it up, opened it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out that a small pink plum blossom was tattooed on the corner of this white silk cloth, which was the handkerchief that Tang Bing had used before. And there is something wrapped in the handkerchief, but it is the valuable pearl button that had attracted Sang Markham's salivation earlier, and was pinned to the placket of his chest as a button by Tang Bing.
It seems that Bing'er and they are nearby or in the mountain villa!
In this way, Li Xuan was relieved for the most part, and while he was happy, Hu'er was worried, and said secretly: "If Bing'er and the others were brought to the village, was it done by the villagers, or did it by others? If it was done by the people of the Dustless Mountain Villa, why did they do this? Who live here......" He thought to himself, and unconsciously, he had arrived in front of the village.
The gate of the village is tall and clumsy, the left and right are built by two red pines with thick elephant legs, the two gates in the middle are also composed of pine boards, and a wooden plaque about eight feet long and about four feet wide above the lintel is written with four large official characters 'Dust-free Villa'.
Zhuge Dongfang straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, gently patted the bronze knocker on the wooden door, and said loudly: "The fool Zhuge Dongfang and his three friends harass the owner of the village, if you are willing to see the layman, please open the door of the village to comfort my heart." ”
Miss Yuan Si listened to what he said and was both polite and respectful, and couldn't help but flatten her mouth and whispered: "It turns out that Brother Zhuge is arrogant and cold to people in the world, and he is deliberately isolated from the world. When you get here, you will immediately become as vulgar and old-fashioned as us. ”
Zhuge Dongfang knew that she loved and hated herself, sometimes bitter and mean, sometimes gentle like water, often ignoring Jin Shui on her side, saying some annoying and meaningful words, and smiling bitterly: "If it weren't for Ah Niu and Ah Yang, how would I be like this!"
When Miss Yuan heard this, her eyes turned red, and she sighed and looked at the two demented children who had already woken up and were held by herself, and muttered: "You have this heart, I will be ......blind to death" Before she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember that not only was the golden water on the side, but also a strange Li Xuan was looking at her, her cheeks were red, she sighed, and was silent.
Li Xuan listened to Zhuge Dongfang shouting at Zhuangmen, although the voice was not very high, but the sound was far and long, and he knew that Zhuge Dongfang's internal strength and vitality had recovered as before. This bow to the door of the village, not only can be sent to every corner of the village clearly, and the sound can stay in the air for a long time, which shows that its skills are extraordinary, and I can't help but secretly compare whether I can do it, my mind turned, and I shook my head secretly. Not long after Zhuge Dongfang's voice fell, no one opened the village door.
After a pause, an old and muscular voice came from inside.
The old man's sturdy voice was as calm as water, and he said with a smile: "I have heard that Mr. Zhuge has outstanding martial arts, is arrogant in the world, prosperous but not extravagant, and quiet in troubled times, such a good person, but today he is willing to come to the simple house, and the old man is really happy!"
As soon as the four of them heard the sound of the old man and the sturdy, a gray figure had slowly stepped out of the fancy heavy door in the village. Li Xuan stood on the stone steps of Zhuangmen and looked inward, and saw that there was a very clean bluestone road in the courtyard, the two sides of the stone road were naturally embellished with bamboo frame wisteria, a few ancient pines were scattered high and low, seven or eight red-leaved maple trees were attached to more than a dozen graceful weeping willows, if the lover lingered, several strange rockery rockeries were quiet, a winding blue water passed through it, whispering, even a large piece of autumn morning light did not hesitate to be gentle, and fell peacefully everywhere in the village, glowing with clear light.
The beauty of the garden is rare in the world, and it really makes people have all kinds of praises and don't know how to express it. Despite the amazing scenery, what made Li Xuan even more amazed was this gray figure. When they saw this gray figure, they didn't move under their feet, only breathing, but they had already reached the front of the four people from the third fancy arch in the garden. You must know that the third fancy arch is at least seventy or eighty zhang away from the garden gate, and when this person came, he could come to everyone with a seemingly slow figure, but in fact he came to everyone with the speed of electric fire, which shows that his light skills and internal strength have been cultivated to the state of returning to the truth. (To be continued.) )
