Dark Arrow Chapter 66: Qinguan Road (2)
"Drive!" Shen Lingxiao snatched the reins and rode out, and in the blink of an eye, the people and horses disappeared into the vast night.
With a "wow", Tianzun blurted out a mouthful of abdominal blood, and his body was shaky.
"Sect Master!" the two disciples beside him hurriedly supported him and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" but...... Hurt again?"
Several other disciples hurriedly gathered around, holding torches high and looking at him with concern, but saw that his face was pale and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth.
After receiving a devastating blow from Zhenguan, he only recuperated for half a day, and then followed Yu Dang non-stop, and did not have a good rest along the way, so the internal injuries did not get better, but worsened a few points, plus a new wound on his shoulder, and the junior brother was taken hostage again. He had never been so cowardly in his life, so under the anger, his blood immediately rolled, and his chest tightened and vomited blood.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of anger!" Tianzun waved his hand lightly, "Leave me alone, hurry up and take care of Lubo." ”
The disciples hurriedly carried Lu Bo, who had already fainted, to the eaves and bandaged his broken wrist in a panic.
Tianzun took a few quick breaths, and finally relieved himself, so he slowly walked to the eaves, and sat cross-legged on a pile of haystacks to heal his injuries.
After about a stick of incense, Tianzun breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Let's go!"
So, Liu Yun rode with the injured Lu Bo and followed behind everyone.
After running only two or three miles, the two of them were a long way behind, and gradually they could no longer hear the sound of the men and horses in front of them. Liu Yun held one hand on Lu Bo's waist who was constantly moaning softly, and controlled the horse with the other, and the inky night between heaven and earth made him very nervous, like a lonely elk running alone in the wilderness full of natural enemies.
After six or seven miles, I suddenly saw a few clusters of firelight flickering on the avenue in front of me, and a group of people gathered under the firelight, vaguely Tianzun and his party, and suddenly turned fear into joy, so he hurriedly urged the horse to catch up, and sure enough, it was them.
“...... Fuck it! The stinky thief who kills a thousand knives...... Lao Tzu didn't skin you alive, and swore not to be a man...... Ouch...... Stupid thing, lighten it!" The muddy Dizun was lying crookedly on the side of the road, being served by several disciples, and although he was drenched in cold sweat and his face was pale, he cursed himself endlessly.
"Stop scolding, it's useless to scold...... You see, it's just wrapped, and it's oozing blood again!" Tianzun, who was squatting beside him, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Listen to Senior Brother, the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late...... Don't get excited, let them wrap you up quietly,...... After climbing so far and shedding so much blood along the way, I had to take a good breath to recover quickly. Obedient ......"
"The stinking thief of dog days...... Killing a Thousand Cutters...... ...... of the Eighteen Lower Levels of Hell I can't die a good death......" Dizun still refused to stop, but his energy began to run out, and the scolding gradually weakened, and then finally he couldn't hear it, and fainted with his eyes closed.
Tianzun looked abrupt, and sat silently beside him motionless, as if he was contemplating and as if he was stunned.
The disciples were also exhausted, and they stood or sat on the ground and stayed where they were, all silent, as if each thinking about his own thoughts.
One by one, the torches were extinguished, and darkness returned to heaven and earth, and the dead and solemn night made people feel very oppressive.
"You're all rested, right?, let's go!" I don't know how long it took, Tianzun finally spoke, "It's still up to Liu Yun to take care of Lu Bo; Tang Xiong, you take care of the second sect leader,—— slower on the road, and ride more steadily...... When it was dawn, we went to find a carriage. ”
"I'm afraid...... It's hard to catch up!" one of the disciples muttered as he lit a torch.
The rest of the disciples also had this thought, and lazily got up to lead the horse.
"Who said that I went to chase it?" Tianzun got on the horse and said coolly: "Let's go back!"
"Go back?" The disciples who got on the horse one after another were very surprised, and asked one after another:
"Where are you going?"
"Are you going back to Songzhou?"
"Why didn't you chase it?"
......
"Back to Qingcheng Mountain. ”
"Also go to Qingcheng Mountain?...... When are we going back to Songzhou?"
"I'm not going back to Songzhou for the time being," Tianzun slowed down his horse and turned back, "Our mission is not over yet...... However, I heard that the leader of the Shangguan League is already very satisfied with us, and in a few days, he will send Yu Huantie to visit us in Qingcheng Mountain!"
"Who is this guy?"
"You probably won't know about it,...... I think back then, this guy's reputation was really not small! He was responsible for the attack on Chaotian Fort this time...... Chu Xiangmeng should still take action, he came to us to continue to help......"
"Who should you deal with this time?" asked Liu Yun with interest.
"I guess it should be the Huanhua Xiao family in Chengdu Mansion. ”
"Oh. Liu Yun bowed his head lightly, thought for a while, and said, "Sect Master, please forgive your subordinates for talking too much, we ...... That's really what we do...... Did you let go of those remnants of Qingcheng?"
"Don't worry, how can there be such a cheap thing?" Tianzun's tone was a little proud, "The deity has already figured out a way......
"What's the solution?"
Tianzun didn't answer, and said leisurely: "Hmph, didn't they go to Kongtong Mountain?...... Is the Qinling Mountains so easy to turn over? Is the Qinguan so good?"
"Sect Master, what do you mean: ask for the Tao Tiger for help?"
"It's not about helping, it's about taking what you need. Tianzun spoke resentfully, "As soon as the morning dawns, the deity will have a way to contact them." The conditions are very simple: they take the money, we take the life, hehe, everyone is happy!"
※※※
It is said that Guangyuan Prefecture is the birthplace of the first heroine among women, Empress Wu Zetian.
Many people scoff at this statement.
The people of Chang'an retorted: "Nonsense! Our dear empress, of course, grew up in our Chang'an!"
Wenshui people disdainfully: "Bah, do you want to be embarrassed? Mei Niang is obviously our fellow countryman!"
......
There is no way to verify this issue, so there is no authoritative conclusion.
People always like to associate themselves with great people, celebrities, etc., as if they can improve their reputation and status.
"Our city is really outstanding!" "There have been many times when I heard the sentiment of a knowledgeable fellow villager, "For example, Yin Jifu, a famous minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Dong He, a famous minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, Xiong Wencan, a military secretary of the Ming Dynasty, and Mr. Jiang Zhaohe, a famous painter in modern times...... You may not know these people, but Zou Kai, the Olympic hardware king, should always know it! Actually, this little ghost is my neighbor, and I grew up watching him. ...... I've already seen that he's going to have a lot of success when he grows up, and hey, sure enough......"
"No one asked about the cold window for ten years, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. When I hear these kinds of remarks, this sentence always pops up in my mind.
Shen Lingxiao rushed to Guangyuan Prefecture in the evening of the next day, and searched for the secret to find Yin Tianjin's four people who lived in the inn.
"Senior Brother Shen, you're finally here!" Fang Ru was overjoyed and took his hand with joy.
Shen Lingxiao guarded the ancient precept that men and women should not kiss, and gently broke free from her soft pancreas.
"Have you encountered an enemy?" asked Mrs. Fang with concern when she saw that he was covered in mud and had a wound on his shoulder.
"Yes. Shen Lingxiao bowed his head lightly and comforted: "Auntie, don't be nervous, I'm fine." ”
"Did you meet a double monster?" Yin Tianjin asked in surprise.
"Yes. Shen Lingxiao nodded, "They were all injured, and I expected that they wouldn't be able to catch up for a while." ”
"What?" Fang Yi almost couldn't believe it, "Senior Brother Shen, the two monsters are actually injured in your hands?"
"Not really. Tianzun seems to have been seriously injured, and he should have been injured by his master and his old man. Shen Lingxiao said lightly.
"Senior Brother Shen, are we going to leave soon?" Fang Ruxing's eyes sparkled and stared into his eyes and asked.
"Well," Shen Lingxiao glanced at her, and suddenly felt that she was very much like his third sister, "The crisis has not been resolved, we have to rush to Kongtong Mountain as soon as possible." ”
At noon three days later, Shen Lingxiao and his entourage arrived in Baoji.
"Ho, this mountain is really majestic!" Fang Yi exclaimed as he looked up at the majestic mountain with clouds and mist churning in front of him.
"Of course, this is Taibai Mountain! It's very steep!" a hunter with two pheasants on his shoulders walked down quickly, just in front of Fang Yi's horse, and said when he heard the words.
"Wow, this tail is so beautiful!" Fang Ru exclaimed, pointing to the long colorful tail.
"Hehe, I'll give it to you if you like it!" the hunter plucked one of the longest feathers off and handed it to her with a grin.
"Thank you, uncle. Fang Ru bent down to take it diligently, admiring it and sighing coquettishly, her eyes flashing with excitement.
"Are you going to climb over this Taibai Mountain?" the hunter glanced at everyone, feeling that Yin Tianjin should be the leader, so he stared at him and asked.
"Yes. Yin Tianjin bowed, "Uncle, how long does it take to climb this mountain?"
"At least two days," the hunter glanced at the delicate Fang Ru on horseback, shook his head, and said, "As for you, you may not be able to ...... it."
"Uncle, can horses walk on this mountain road?" Fang Ru frowned slightly.
"Hehe, what's the mountain road?" said the hunter, "after reaching the halfway point of the mountain, it is difficult for a horse, even a human being, to continue climbing!"
"Thank you, uncle. Yin Tianjin arched his hand at him, "Let's go." ”
The hunter watched them take a few steps before suddenly exclaiming, "Wait!"
Everyone reined in their horses and turned to look at him suspiciously.
"Uh...... That's right," said the hunter, "there is a gang of strong men on this mountain, who specialize in murder and extortion, and they are extremely vicious! You must be careful......
Hearing this, Shen Lingxiao turned over and dismounted, walked quickly in front of him, stuffed a piece of broken silver into his hand, and said warmly: "Thank you, uncle!
"I don't know exactly where I live, but it's on the hill anyway. The hunter shook his head, "...... As for the people, there should be a hundred and eighty. ...... The surname of the big boss is Tao, and he is called 'Qinling Tiger'; the second boss is a woman, her name and surname are not clear, and she is called 'Dominatrix'......"
"Do they often hurt people?"
"Yes, over the years, I don't know how many merchants' lives have been ruined in their hands!" the hunter shook his head and sighed, "sometimes he is so poor and crazy that he even robs our prey!"
"Thank you for the reminder!" Shen Lingxiao was so grateful that he gave up his hand again and again, and got back on his horse.
"Hmph, if you dare to touch us, Lao Tzu will definitely kill you to death!" he clenched his fists, and the flames of anger burned in his heart.
