Chapter Seventy-One: The Whole Team Sets Out
This midsummer heavy rain did not let go and it continued to rain for four days, which made Su Ke and others think that they would postpone their trip, but on the night of the fifth day, the rain suddenly stopped and the weather cleared.
And in the past five days, Qiu Xin would be at the door of the dart bureau every day, motionless and looking at the street in front of the door, and sometimes walking outside the city in the rain, but there was no figure on the official road outside the city, only the moat water rose all the way.
Qiu Xin and others are naturally Lu Yun's father and daughter, five days ago, when Su Ke promised Qiu Xin's three conditions, he made it clear that he would immediately send someone to Shilixiang, if it hadn't rained, he would have gone to the city anyway, but now the heavy rain has blocked the road, and there is still no news of Lu Yun at this time.
made Qiu Xin very relieved that the father and daughter duo wanted to see Lu Yun before leaving, even if Lu Yun wanted to beat and scold him, he would admit it, but he didn't even have such a chance?
At first, Shi Weihu would often come out to talk to Qiu Xin, but once Qiu Xin accidentally leaked his mouth, confessing that he heard his drunken words in Fengyang Restaurant that day, and under questioning, Qiu Xin said that Shi Weihu liked the disciples of the Phantom Moon Sect.
Since then, Qiu Xin has never seen Shi Weihu again, even during meals, he seems to be hiding from himself, which makes Qiu Xin feel very funny.
When the morning comes, the sky is blue, the boredom of the rain is swept away, and everything seems to be refreshed and refreshed by a heavy rain.
Qiu Xin didn't wait for Lu Yun's arrival, and at this time, the dart team was ready to go, after the firecrackers, Su Ke walked in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, although we have walked the dart road many times this time, we have to be very careful, Su Mou, please everyone." ”
"I will live up to this dart. Everyone bowed to Su Ke and said so, but Qiu Xin was absent-minded at this time, still looking out of the door.
"Qiu Shaoxia, is there something wrong?"
No one responded for a long time, Shi Weihu pushed Qiu Xin and said in a low voice, "Brother Qiu, the head of the dart is talking to you." Qiu Xin came back to his senses and said, "Chief dart, ...... the next lady?"
Su Ke laughed when he heard this, and said, "Qiu Shaoxia can go, with my Su family, no one dares to bully her, and the people sent out are probably already on their way back to the city." ”
Qiu Xin secretly said "oh", retracted his mind, walked to the horse, only to see the dart goods slowly pulled three carts, more than a dozen dart masters stood next to the car, originally a dart, only one dart, but this time the four darts in the bureau gathered, so that everyone was in a spirit.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Su Ke nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you encounter anything on this trip, you must not act without authorization, everything will be listened to." ”
"Yes!"
"Alright, Mingjin darts. The sound of a low horn sounded, enveloping most of the Phantom City, and every family went out and stood on both sides of the street.
Shi Weihu told Qiu Xin, this is the habit of the double nine dart bureau for many years, as long as it is in the general rudder of the dart, it will attract everyone to watch, one to announce to everyone, I double nine dart game dart, in order to deter Xiaoxiao, the second is that my double nine dart game since settling here, the whole phantom city is also a lot of prosperity, and the local people are also proud of it.
Qiu Xin felt strange when he heard this, and remembered that day in the inn, when he talked about Taishan dart goods, everyone changed color, but now he is so fanfare, didn't he tell everyone about it, and couldn't figure out what medicine Su Ke was selling in the gourd.
It took more than half an hour for the carriage to slowly drive out of the city gate and walk on the suspension bridge, but it was not the south gate when Qiu Xin came, but the east gate, which was different from the wide field of view of the south gate, before the east gate, there was a forest not far away.
This time to Mount Tai, although the distance is not far, but the road conditions are complicated, if you have not walked this road in advance, I am afraid that you will take a lot of detours, first to cross the River of Tears, into the adjacent Haizhou, and then to the northeast, through the huge area of Zhuozhou, will enter the land of Zhongzhou.
After leaving the Phantom City, the convoy entered the woods, where the trees were tall and dense, but the area was not large, and it only walked a few miles before leaving the woods, but because it had just rained, the road was very muddy, and the carriage was surprisingly slow to enter and exit.
It was past noon, Kankan walked more than 20 miles, the horses were already tired, let Shi Weihu shout loudly, vigorously whipped, it was difficult to take a step forward, Qiu Xin saw that it was pitiful, let Shi Weihu stop, so everyone rested here.
Under careful questioning, Qiu Xin understood the reason, it turned out that in the north of Kuizhou, a hundred miles away, and Huizhou two places apart, there is a huge desert, known as the "three unique deserts", in which there is no water, no road, no life, no people who enter it, have never returned.
That's why trees are planted here to block the wind and sand, it has just rained in the past few days, it is the time when the wind tide of the Tears River is the smallest, if you don't arrive early, wait for the next wind tide to be weaker, I don't know when you have to wait, this is to rush to the road.
So, without a long rest, everyone then began to hurry, the road ahead was as difficult as ever, Qiu Xin also joined the ranks of help, not afraid of the mud, pushing the carriage forward, finally, many people worked together, before it got dark, rushed to the camp, Mochizuki slope.
The name Mochizuki Slope is apt, after the rain and the sky is clear, the moonlight is brighter, and the choice of camping here is also very particular, since there is no need to light an open fire, and the terrain is higher, condescending, and much safer.
After everything was ready, everyone was very tired, and at this time, everyone shouted over, gathered in a circle, and said, "Tonight's sentry, ordinary disciples may not be competent, only please be lucky, the five of us take turns to change the post, one hour at a time, Qiuxin's little brother is the youngest, this first hour, he will come." ”
Then he stopped to look at Qiu Xin, Qiu Xin nodded and said, "Although the knife and dart head is arranged, don't worry about me, do your best in the future." The scars on Daopachi's face ran through the entire right side of his face, making his whole person look more cold and resolute, and not so terrifying, he continued.
"The second hour stone dart, the third hour I came by myself, the fourth hour Mr. Kong, the last hour single dart. Everyone didn't speak, just nodded quietly, and Daoba said again, "If you don't have an opinion, then go and prepare, little brother Qiuxin, you stay." ”
Shi Weihu said to Qiu Xin when he left, "Brother Qiu, the knife dart head is really good to you, think of me back then, tsk tsk......" It seems that this first hour is the most relaxed, and the Double Nine Dart Game also takes good care of himself.
After everyone left, Dao Hachi said, "Brother Qiu, the first whistle is at the top of the slope, those who practice martial arts, have excellent eyesight, and you can see clearly any wind and grass under the slope, you are here to guard, since tonight is your first dart, I will accompany you in the other whistle, if there is anything, you can shout, and if you encounter an emergency, you will sound the horn." ”
Speaking, Daoba pointed to a big stone on the slope, although the situation on the other side is not very clear, but the entire camp is also in sight, it seems that these people have passed through the Mochizuki slope not once or twice, so experienced, worthy of the world's famous dart game.
Qiu Xin nodded, said thanks, walked to the top of the slope alone, found a clean place to sit down, and looked at the slope, not long after, there was no sound in the camp on the slope, even the sound of the horses was inaudible.
In the rare time of practice, Qiu Xin closed his eyes, but his sense of hearing was more keen, and he did not relax and pay attention to the movements around him, while he also used the hidden spirit trick and began to rest his internal strength.
Due to the failure of the last impact on the pulse, he felt even more that the cultivation of internal force could not be left behind, and the internal strength practice overnight was the slightest increase in internal strength, and he did not dare to slack off.
Since the true qi has changed into three colors, every time the true qi runs through the whole body for a big week, it will feel much refreshed, and the tiredness on the body will also dissipate, this feeling is very wonderful, but before Qiu Xin can enjoy it for long, he will stop and see the sound of footsteps sound.
When he opened his eyes, it was Shi Weihu who was walking towards him, but the hour had come, and after changing the sentry position, Qiu Xin didn't bother to go downhill, so he found a place to sleep at the top of this slope.
The night was fine, the neighing of the horses sounded, and it was the next day when I opened my eyes.
"The head of the stone dart, the head of the stone dart, the carriage is stuck in it and does not move. Shi Weihu woke up suddenly, but Qiu Xin beside him was gone, and a dart master ran in front of him and said, "Shi Darthead, come and help, last night, the wheels of the carriage fell most of the way." ”
I don't know what exactly I want to transport to Mount Tai this time, not only did I repeatedly break down during the rush yesterday, but today I was deep in the slope, Qiu Xin and all the dart masters carried it for a long time, but the strength was not used together, lifted and put down, and the horses were helpless.
I saw Shi Weihu walk to the front of the carriage, step on two deep footprints on the ground with his legs, lift the wheels of the carriage with both hands, and roar, the whole carriage rose from the ground, and then said that the horses were urged, and the carriage was separated.
Shi Weihu is so shocking, the strength of his arms, he can have thousands of catties, no wonder that day in the martial arts arena, two hammers that add up to more than 100 catties died without a problem, and the dart masters also applauded.
After a small episode, after a brief meal and drink, the group started to go on the road again, I don't know if the soil was much harder, or the heavy rain did not affect here, so the convoy was much faster than yesterday, and Qiu Xin followed behind unhurriedly, talking with Shi Weihu about something.
"Brother Qiu, Hail is much better than Kuizhou, there are virtuous and virtuous women everywhere, gentle and elegant scholars everywhere, and beautiful scenery of the Central Plains everywhere......"
"Brother Shi, in my opinion, the most important thing is that there are little ladies of the Phantom Moon Sect everywhere. I don't know when, Qiu Xin also learned to be as poor as Jingmo, this remark made Shi Weihu's face red, smiled embarrassedly, and scolded Qiu Xin for being unkind.
In this way, the convoy walked towards the rising sun in the east.
