Chapter Twenty-Four: Trouble Strikes Again
After the man in black extinguished all the torches in the cave, the man in black asked me to go out with him, as if I didn't want to stay in this room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Seeing that it was pitch black, I said to Chang Wuji, "Big brother, I'll light these torches again!"
As soon as I said this, Chang Wuxian immediately refused and said, "Brother Xian, you can't order!"
Hearing this, I stopped as soon as I took a step, but I had a doubt in my heart, so I asked, "Big brother, why can't you order?"
Chang Wuxian immediately replied: "My master said that this torch can only be lit once a day, and it is extinguished and lit, which is disrespectful to the seniors!"
Although I was speechless by the long and traceless answer, since he said so, then don't order it.
I was about to go to Chang Wuxian to help him up, who was injured by the man in black, when I heard him say to me, "Brother Xian, bring a torch and come out with me!"
As I spoke, I heard the sound of Chang Wuxian getting up from the ground, and it seemed that he was not too badly injured, so I did not go to him immediately.
When I brought the torch and touched the entrance of the cave, I saw that Chang Wuji was already sitting outside with his knees crossed.
Although the strength of the man in black is stronger than that of Chang Wuxi, but the two brothers, where can they be stronger, in general, it is just between the two brothers!
After about a stick of incense, he got up from the ground without a trace, and after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he couldn't see that he had been injured at all.
"Brother Xian, I'm almost fine, let's go back!"
When I said this, I naturally nodded and agreed, it was not a pleasant thing to stay in such a completely uninhabited and dangerous place.
On the way back, I asked Chang Wuxian the doubts in my heart, "Big brother, who inserted the sword on the stone statue of Ling Shuo Sword Immortal?"
When I saw the sword, I immediately had doubts in my heart, but I didn't immediately take it out and ask about it.
A person like Chang Wuxi, facing the stone statue of Ling Shuo Sword Immortal, had more emotions such as piety and admiration in his heart.
Then what kind of psychology did the swordsman who inserted that sword into the stone statue of Ling Shuo Sword Immortal do such a thing?
When I asked this question, Chang Wuxian was silent for a while, and then said, "You should know about the Hidden Sect and the Outer Sect!"
"Hmm!"
I nodded to confirm his statement, and he continued: "Actually, the time of the Hidden Sect is longer than that of the Outer Sect and even the Three Great Sword Sects, and the Outer Sect was separated from the Hidden Sect after the development of the Hidden Sect to a certain period, and this time is about the same time as the establishment of the Three Great Sword Sects. ”
"My master has speculated that the time when this sword was inserted should be the time when the three major sword sects were established and the outer sects were separated. ”
Hearing him say such things, I couldn't help but beat a little drum in my heart, if I said this, the time of the Hidden Sect is too long, maybe it has a history of more than 500 years.
The three major sword sects that appeared after the Hidden Sect have all died, and the hidden tiger, which is still as stable as Mount Tai, is a little too scary!
Chang Wuxian naturally didn't know what I was thinking about, he just continued to hurry and went to Langya Mountain.
The man in black who took the first step was at full speed, and he had already disappeared without a trace, and he had to take care of my speed without a trace, so naturally it was impossible to run too fast.
After returning to Langya Mountain, I will rest here for a day to recover the energy I have consumed.
Wait until the next day, take my things, and I will leave from him, and the target will be directly placed in Yudu.
From Xiangyang directly to Yudu, than first to the east to Mingcheng, and then from Mingcheng all the way south to Yu is much closer.
I wanted to save time, so I wouldn't have nothing to do with it.
Although the goal of advancing is in Yudu, I have no intention of going in.
The news that I took the little guy away has long been known to the prince, and I bumped into the prince's lair again at this time, isn't this looking for trouble for myself!
That being said, but a lot of times, trouble isn't something you can just stop looking for.
When I went to Yudu, because there were no horses, I used the source qi to hurry, and the time was chosen at night, so it was not easy for people to bump into me.
During the day, I just walked slowly on the road, not only to restore the source energy, but more importantly, to nourish the spirit.
However, the location of Xiangyang is too remote, I used the source qi to hurry all night and didn't see a city, of course I didn't have the full speed, that would be too much consumption.
By the next day, I had met a team of more than 30 people on the official road, and these 30 or so people were guarding seven or eight large boxes, which looked like a team of dart masters.
These dart masters were of good character, and when they saw me walking on the road, they warmly invited me to join them.
I wanted to refuse, after all, it was easy to get into trouble with the dart team, but these dart masters told me that this area is deserted, and if I walk here, it will be inconvenient to sleep at night.
When I heard this, I was a little moved.
Although I have the strength of the Xiaocheng realm, I am still a person, I use the source qi to rush crazy at night, and walk slowly on the road to rest during the day, but I still have to sleep.
So I agreed to the dart masters, and some of them were kind enough to come out and give me a horse.
I couldn't accept their favor with peace of mind, so I thought about finding an opportunity to repay them, but it didn't seem to be a good opportunity, so I put it aside for the time being.
The team of darts continued to walk, and the goal was a Dream Pond City, and before reaching Dream Pond City, they would pass through a Water Pond City and a Sky Pond City.
When the head of this team of dart masters, a burly bald man with a scar on his face, named Zhang Chuang, told me the names of these three cities, I somehow felt a little familiar.
However, I can't remember where I've heard the names of Tianchi City, Shuichi City, or Dream Pond City, so I think it's all a delusion.
When the team met me, it was already afternoon, and it was dark after a long time, so we found an open place to light a bonfire and rest.
In the process of chatting with these dart masters, I knew that this team of dart masters came out of the Fuwei Dart Bureau in Mengchi City, east of Tianchi City.
This Fuwei Dart Bureau is also well-known in the territory north of Yudu, and it will receive a lot of dart tasks.
This time, I received a mission from Xiangyang City, escorting some goods that I don't know what they were, to Dream Pond City.
While camping, I noticed something was wrong, because after nightfall, there seemed to be people coming in the distance, and there were definitely not a few of them.
Now I have a very keen sense of this kind of thing, and as soon as this feeling appears, I immediately become vigilant.
However, the dart masters, who sat by the campfire and ate dry food, were completely unaware of the danger.
I didn't expect these dart masters to do anything like this, thank goodness they could protect themselves!
"Come, Li Shaoxia, do you want to drink some wine?"
At this time, Zhang Chuang, who was sitting next to me, handed me a leather bag with wine.
I hesitated for a moment, looked at his smiling face shining against the campfire, waved my hand, and said, "Zhang Darttou, I don't drink!"
Hearing my words, he laughed, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and then said to me: "Li Shaoxia, how can anyone in the rivers and lakes not drink!"
I also laughed, and did not dwell on this issue, but asked him in a low voice: "Zhang Darttou, tell me the truth, do you know what this dart luck is!"
When I asked this question, I noticed that the way he looked at me suddenly changed, and then asked, "Li Shaoxia, why are you asking about this?"
Sensing his wary look, I just smiled and replied in a low voice: "Zhang Darthead, do you know that your dart has been targeted!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw him look vigilantly at both sides, and after making sure that there was no one on the side, he whispered to me: "Li Shaoxia, have you found out too! You can notice this as soon as you come to us, you are really a hero out of a young man!"
I just smiled and shook my head at his words, and said, "I wonder if Zhang Darttou can tell the truth now?"
Although I was ready to make a move, I always wanted to know what I was protecting.
"This ......"
For a while, he was also embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to tell me or not, and I didn't force him in this case.
I want to help them, or save their lives, and that's enough to repay their kindness to me.
If they don't want to cooperate with me, then I can't save them on this trip, at most save some people.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Chuang finally made a decision, and then whispered to me: "Li Shaoxia, this dart is a dart personally ordered by the owner of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, so we have really not been told what this dart is pressing." ”
Hearing him say this, I suddenly felt a little strange, as if there was a smell of conspiracy in it.
Zhang Chuang continued at this time: "On the rivers and lakes, there are rules for darts in the dart game, I don't know what the goods are, this kind of dart has never come out, and this time there are some bad rules." ”
"But we dart masters all point to this line of food, and we can't help but listen to the orders of the master of the dart game. ”
Hearing this, I also have a general understanding of this matter. After a little hesitation, I said to Zhang Chuang: "Dart head, can you open the dart box and take a look?"
As soon as I said this, Zhang Chuang's head immediately shook like a drum, and responded: "Li Shaoxia, this is really unacceptable!"
"Zhang Darthead, is this dart important, or is it important to follow your dart master. These people come to rob the road, the picture is just this dart, if this dart breaks the rules, simply abandon this dart, this can still save everyone's lives!"
When I said this, Zhang Chuang's face showed a lot of wavering, and I added fire at this time and said: "If you don't hurry up and decide, wait for those people to kill, then it's really over!"
I saw Zhang Chuang take a deep breath, and then said to me: "Okay, I'll open the dart box!"
After saying that, Zhang Chuang immediately took me to the seven sealed dart boxes, and there were still a few dart masters watching here at this time.
Seeing Zhang Chuang coming, these people all nodded to Zhang Chuang and said, "What do you command?"
Zhang Chuang replied: "Something happened, hurry up and dart!"
"This ......"
The people guarding the edge of the dart box showed hesitation, and for them, the notion that "you can't move your employer's dart" has been ingrained!
Seeing that these people were still hesitating, Zhang Chuang was also a little anxious at this time, and said angrily: "What's the matter, don't you even listen to me!"
The identity of Zhang Chuang's dart head was there, and when this kind of thing was said, these people naturally didn't dare to be disobedient, so they immediately opened the dart box.
When they opened the box, I stood on the side and watched, and when I opened the first big box, I saw that it was full of sand.
When I saw this scene, I felt a little dumbfounded, and said in my heart, what is the situation, using so many manpower and material resources, just to get a few boxes of sand over?
Zhang Chuang immediately said: "Pour out the sand in this box and see if there is anything in it." ”
The dart master quickly moved and turned the box upside down, and as the sand inside rolled out, a smaller wooden box rolled out with it.
While we were opening the dart box, all the other dart masters who noticed the movement also came over, as if to see what was going on.
Seeing that it was Zhang Chuang who was opening the dart box, these people didn't say anything, it seems that Zhang Chuang does have a certain prestige among these people.
After Zhang Chuang picked up the box, I looked at the box and found that the box was still locked.
I guess I didn't think much about it, but I saw Zhang Chuang directly pull out the knife on his waist, split the lock, and then open the box.
When the box was opened, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell to Zhang Chuang's side, thinking that everyone was very curious about the box that had been put up so much.
Then, the box was opened, and the contents of the box startled us all.
