Chapter 49 Frightened

Xia Xiyun drove the carriage very quickly, and in the next few days, the two of them exchanged carriages, and another five days passed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After this morning, they drove the carriage into Fengming Town, which was very prosperous, the streets were wider than Baiyun City, and there were merchants everywhere shouting.

Lu Yizhong stopped the carriage in a remote inn, and ordered a few side dishes after entering the inn. sat down at the table by the window, glanced around, and saw that there was no one else in this inn except for him and Xia Xiyun, as well as the shopkeeper and a few shopkeepers.

After a while, the shopkeeper shouted, put a few dishes on the table, and reported the name of the dish in his mouth.

"I'm here to ask you, shopkeeper, how to go to Fengming Mountain?" Lu Yizhong lowered his voice.

The shopkeeper squeaked and said a lot, Lu Yizhong remembered them all in his heart, paused, and then asked, "Where is the Batu Cave?"

"You, you, you're going to Batu Caves. The shopkeeper stammered, his face turned pale, and he was a little panicked, "You guys go to die." ”

Lu Yizhong took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, "You just have to say, how to go." The money is yours. "Push the ingot of silver in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper picked up the silver, bit it, and put it in his pocket, "I just heard the older generation talk about it" scratched his head, seemed to be trying to remember something, lowered his voice, and said softly: "Walk to the top of Fengming Mountain, go down a little further, pass through a canyon, and see a huge sinkhole." ”

Lu Yizhong memorized the routes one by one, thinking, "Batu Cave, it should be a cave, how is it a sinkhole?" and then asked the shopkeeper, "You didn't say where Batu Cave is?"

"That's all I know, I don't know the rest. The shopkeeper continued: "I heard that near the Tiankeng, there are big snakes that will eat people. Don't go. ”

"Let's not go, just ask casually, you go down" Lu Yizhong made a gesture. After the shopkeeper left, he glanced at Xia Xiyun, who was sitting opposite him, "Do you think, is the route that this shopkeeper said true? Look at what scared him like that, he just heard the older generation talk about the Batu Cave." ”

Xia Xiyun took a sip of soup, "It seems to be just a legend, and the credibility is very low." After a pause, he continued, "Still, there is some basis for the legend. ”

Lu Yizhong thought of the giant snake under the Netherworld Sect, and said: "I think this legend is very credible, there is a giant snake under the Netherworld Sect, and there is a giant snake near the Batu Cave. I always felt like there was a connection between the two. But I can't say what the connection is. After all, that's the only hope for the poison of the mourning needle, and no matter how dangerous it is, I have to go. ”

"Since you've decided, I'm still supporting you. Let's eat. Xia Xiyun took some vegetables and put them in Lu Yizhong's bowl.

"Hmm" Lu Yizhong picked up the bowl and gulped down the food.

After they finished eating, they decided to rest in Fengming Town for a day and set off the next day, so that they could prepare some dry food and water. Because Fengming Mountain is very tall and steep, there is only a sheep farm trail, no one has been there for many years, and the sheep intestine trail is overgrown with weeds, so you can only walk up the mountain.

After eating, Lu Yizhong drove the carriage slowly down the street, and after a while, he looked sideways and saw a tall door with two lions on both sides. Look again, the plaque at the lintel is engraved with the words "Tianhetang". His mood suddenly became very heavy, and he knew in his heart that if he couldn't get the antidote by then, this place would soon become a human purgatory, and corpses would be everywhere.

After continuing to drive the carriage forward for a few hundred meters, I found the largest inn in Fengming Town, "Yue Lai Lou". After entering the inn, he booked a room. Then I sat down on the second floor facing the street and ordered a pot of tea.

After the shopkeeper brought a pot of tea, two cups were placed, each filled with tea.

Xia Xiyun, who was sitting opposite Lu Yizhong, took a sip of the teacup, "It's very lively here, and there are people of all kinds of identities, I know your intentions."

Lu Yizhong smiled slightly and lowered his voice, "Yun'er, those who know me, only you." Yes, I would like to hear about the preparation of the four major sects. We will go to Batu Caves, and it is still unknown whether we can get something to detoxify. In case we can't get it, they ...... "something choked up in their throats, knowing that the result was too tragic."

"The seven or eight people sitting at the table behind you seem to be disciples of Tianhetang. Xia Xiyun gave a look.

Lu Yizhong didn't look back, "When I came in, I saw that they were wearing the clothes of Tianhe disciples, so I specially chose this position." He took a long sip of tea from his teacup. I saw a disciple of Tianhe Hall diagonally opposite, who had just come up from the stairs, his face was panicked, and he hurriedly ran towards the position of the seven or eight disciples of Tianhe Hall. After two breaths, only the voice behind me could be heard.

"Big, big brother, no, it's not good, it's not good" is obviously overpanicked, plus he is very tired, he can't catch his breath, and he stutters a little.

Then came the sound of the teacup opening the lid, "Senior brother, come and drink tea first, and say slowly if there is anything urgent." ”

After two breaths.

"Senior brother, the disciples who left the sect at noon today were all beaten to death, and their bodies were also thrown at the door of Tianhe Hall. ”

"Senior brother, didn't the disciples who left change into other clothes?"

"None of them wore sectarian clothes"

"Senior brother, let me ask you, have any of the disciples of the sect who were killed have been killed. ”

"Nope"

"Master dismissed us just to give us a way to live, hey, I didn't expect it. If you go, you will die, and if you don't go, you will die, so you will simply fight with the remnants of the Netherworld. ”

"Senior brother, is there any news for the disciple sent out by the master to deliver the letter a few days ago? ”

"No news of them for the time being"

"Let's go, let's go back to Tianhetang. ”

"The Nether Cult is so mad and dehumanizing, if we go home, we will definitely implicate our families. ”

After a few breaths, I saw the nine disciples of the Tianhe Hall walking to the stairs, and then continued to go downstairs.

Lu Yizhong's face was solemn, his fists were clenched, and his cheek muscles squirmed, "It's too much, the Netherworld Sect was jointly exterminated by the four major sects, it was twenty years ago, these young disciples didn't participate at all, why do they want to kill people indiscriminately." That mysterious woman must be lurking near Tianhetang, and I'll go and find her out. ”

Xia Xiyun said softly: "Yizhong, don't be impulsive, you can't do big things with momentary bravery." The purpose of our trip was to find an antidote to the funeral needle. It was the right choice for these disciples to return to Tianhe Hall just now, at least they still have time to wait for us to get the antidote. ”

Lu Yizhong suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed down, and stabilized his emotions, "Yun'er, you're right. ”

"I heard them say just now that the disciples of Tianhetang who were killed did not have a mourning needle. That can only show one point, the mysterious woman has no other mourning needles except for that Orthodox treasure. Xia Xiyun took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Besides, the purpose of the mysterious woman is to use that Orthodox treasure to exert her greatest power in an instant and destroy the four major sects. ”

"Wait," Lu Yizhong interrupted Xia Xiyun's words.

Xia Xiyun was a little puzzled, "Is there any problem?"

Lu Yizhong said to himself, "The treasure of orthodoxy, instantly exerted its greatest power and destroyed the four major sects" seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "Oops, the head of Tianhetang Zhang has a plan. ”

"Medium-sized scheme" Xia Xiyun was even more puzzled, "What kind of scheme?" widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yizhong.

"Zhang's head is because he doesn't know that the mysterious woman has the treasure of Orthodoxy in his hands. Disciples were sent to inform the other three sects, but the other three sects did not know that there were any treasures of Orthodoxy. Therefore, they will all come to Tianhe Hall to gather to deal with the remnants of the Netherworld. What's more, the people of the Four Great Sects didn't know who the remnants of the Netherworld Sect were, after they gathered a lot of people. This mysterious woman had already been disguised and blended in, and when they were not paying attention, she suddenly used the treasure of Orthodoxy and killed the people of the four major sects in an instant. Lu Yizhong suddenly slapped himself with a big mouth.

When he was about to take the second shot, he was pulled by Xia Xiyun.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Xiyun grabbed Lu Yizhong's arm and didn't let go. Moved and sat down beside him, "Promise me, don't beat yourself." ”

Lu Yizhong turned his head to look at Xia Xiyun, his eyes were full of tears, "I promise you." ”

"Remember, you promised me that even if it was a vow you made to me, you would never break it. Xia Xiyun let go of Lu Yizhong's arm. After a pause, "I want to know, why did you blame yourself just now?"

Lu Yizhong said confidently: "Actually, if I go to stop the disciples of Tianhetang from sending letters, things will be much easier, at least they will not implicate the other three sects." Now, the people of the four major sects will gather in Tianhetang to deal with the remnants of the Netherworld Sect, which will make the casualties even greater. ”

"This thing is impossible to do, Tianhetang sent disciples to deliver letters in several directions, and we don't have three heads and six arms, and we don't have a doppelganger technique. Moreover, the disciples sent out may not necessarily be dressed in sect clothes, so how can we recognize who is the messenger? Xia Xiyun said one by one that it was impossible to stop the reason, so that Lu Yizhong should not blame himself.

Lu Yizhong said: "This is indeed the reason. ”

Xia Xiyun smiled slightly, "I believe that the sky and the earth are big, righteousness will last forever, and evil will not prevail over good." God will surely bless us and successfully get back something that can cure the poison of the mourning needle. ”

At this time, a man in his thirties walked up to the table opposite Lu Yizhong and sat down, and after a few breaths, another man about forty years old also walked up to his table and sat down.

Then, the voice of the two people talking just now was heard.

"Brother Xiao, what is the matter with you calling me here in such a hurry?"

"To tell you the truth, this time it's about the Netherworld Sect and the decisive battle with Tianhetang. ”

"I've already heard about it, so I'm rushing to Fengming Town non-stop. ”

"This time, the remnants of the Netherworld Sect actually publicly sent a war letter to the Heavenly Peace Hall, which is simply beyond their strength. Twenty years ago, the four major sects were able to encircle and suppress the Netherworld Sect, and now they can also win. ”

"I heard that this Lu Yizhong is the remnant of the Netherworld Sect, and his palm power can also penetrate objects, so this matter is a bit tricky. ”

"Don't worry about this, no matter how deep his internal strength is, it will be difficult to defeat the siege of hundreds of people in the martial arts. The Netherworld Sect's mourning needle can only fire one poison needle at a time. ”

These so-called martial arts people still think that he is the remnant of the Netherworld Sect, but their real enemies are eyeing him. Thinking of this, Lu Yizhong was very embarrassed. But I can't reveal my identity, which will only make things worse. Picked up the teacup, took a big sip of tea and Xia Xiyun left here.

After arriving at the rented room, it was almost dusk, Lu Yizhong closed the doors and windows and lit the candles in the room. The candlelight flickered, he looked up at Xia Xiyun who was sitting beside him, and paused, "It seems that things are even worse than we imagined." It's not just the people of the four major sects who want to fight against the people of the Netherworld Sect. Other martial arts people who have no sect in the rivers and lakes should also participate. He sighed, "There will be more people who die like that." ”

"Therefore, we are going to the Batu Caves in Fengming Mountain, and we can only succeed and not fail. Xia Xiyun said: "Let's rest early and recuperate." ”

"Yun'er, you're right, if we fail to go to Batu Caves, so many people will die. Lu Yizhong said in his mouth, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, "I still feel uneasy, and I want to go to the vicinity of Tianhe Hall to investigate." ”

"I still don't think it's okay not to go, the strength of Tianhetang can't compete with the Netherworld Sect, just in case, take precautions, and definitely set up traps, traps and the like. Xia Xiyun actually wanted to persuade Lu Yizhong not to go to Tianhetang to investigate, in case there was an accident.

Lu Yizhong deliberated back and forth, and after a few breaths, he said: "It makes sense, it's still thoughtful." Wash and sleep. "Blowing out the candles" is the only way to go. ”

I heard Xia Xiyun say: "In fact, no matter how high the martial arts are, no matter how deep the internal strength is, it will not be able to escape the tightly arranged organs, and the five-fold mechanism of the Holy Maiden Palace is a good example. ”

Lu Yizhong sighed, "Thinking that Senior Meng and us were trapped in the tightly arranged oolong silk, the three of us had no choice but to tie our hands and arrest us." After a while, he continued: "Hey, when I think of the monk who appeared in the tea shed, my heart is a little unsure, and I always feel like I am going up and down. If his martial arts are unfathomable, is he friend or foe?"

heard Xia Xiyun say: "Since he persuaded that storyteller to put aside his hatred and go back to his hometown to farm, he shouldn't be our enemy." By the way, he is a monk and has compassion. ”

"Yun'er, now everyone in the world says that I am the remnant of the Netherworld Sect. I'm worried that the monk has the same knowledge as the people of the world and shoots me to kill me, then we will be separated by yin and yang. Lu Yizhong sighed, "It doesn't matter if I die, the key is that the big thing was not done, and I ended up infamy." ”

"Sleep, don't overthink it. ”

Lu Yizhong said "um" and didn't speak.

The whole dark room became very quiet.
