Chapter 62 The Ancient Town of Nanxiang
Hu Shuisheng and Xiao Feng flew in the sky and saw Yunxi Town from afar.
Yunxi Town is entrenched in the forces of various sects, and there are many disputes between the sects in the open and in the dark. This place runs from north to south, east and west, and is a gathering place for materials and forces in the hinterland of Xiuzhen.
In order to conceal their identities, they bypassed Yunxi Town, landed in a nearby town, and rested for a while before heading towards Longchi Mountain.
Xiao Feng was wearing a hat, wearing a strong suit, and carrying an ancient sword on his back, this sword was a bloodthirsty sword, and the bloodthirsty sword was inserted in a pair of scabbards at this time, just like the temperament of a chivalrous man.
Hu Shuisheng is still masked with white gauze, he can't see clearly, his long clothes are fluttering, elegant and refined, attracting countless amazing eyes, adding a bit of beauty to the town's water town scenery.
This town is called Nanxiang Town, adjacent to Yunxi Town, and is the most folk customs place with the scenery of the water country in the vicinity. An ancient river in Nanxiang zigzags through this town, the street stalls and figures on both sides of the river are reflected in the river, and a few red medicines have been opened by the river at some point, the shadows are mottled, and the sky and clouds are shadowed, quite a bit of the quiet romance of the water town gallery.
Hu Shuisheng and Xiao Feng walked on the long street of Nanxiang Town, close to the Nanxiang River, and from time to time they were attracted by the delicate boats in the river, which were hung with lanterns of all kinds, including flying birds, swimming fish, and other various animals and patterns.
As they walked further ahead, some of the nearby houses had papier-mâché lanterns hanging from their eaves, and even the stalls on the street were filled with similar lanterns, and many local children began to play with them.
Suddenly, a child bumped into Xiao Feng, touched his head, raised his face to look at Xiao Feng, bypassed him and continued to frolic and run, this little hairy child turned around and grimaced at Xiao Feng from time to time.
Xiao Feng snorted and was amused by the children, he pondered the lanterns in the hands of those children, and then looked at the festive atmosphere overflowing with the lantern arrangement around him, and said in surprise: "Strange, the lantern temple fair has always been a month late!
At this time, a group of locals came out, one of them holding a large lantern in the shape of a dragon's head, and the rest of the people holding other parts of the dragon, just enough to form a long dragon.
Xiao Feng asked one of them, "Sister, why are this year's lanterns advanced?"
This person was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he saw Xiao Feng asking, he replied: "It's strange to say, this year, someone actually spent a lot of money to let the nearby villages and towns hold lantern temple fairs in advance, no, this long dragon lantern is to be hung at the foot of the mountain, and all the area at the foot of Longchi Mountain is full!"
"It's Longchi Mountain again!" Hu Shuisheng said after hesitating for a while.
Hu Shuisheng and Xiao Feng went to Longchi Mountain on this trip, Hu Lan had no news in his heart, Hu Shuisheng left Linghong Temple without worry, and did not hesitate to go deep into the danger to see what was going on. Hu Shuisheng belongs to Yaowang Mountain in southern Xinjiang, and is the so-called decency of the hinterland of these Xiuzhen
As far as it is concerned, it is just an evil party and a heretical sect, and they can't wait to get rid of it quickly, so they have to be careful everywhere, especially the three hall masters of the Weapon Sect and the two protectors of Hongfu and Xiaoyaozi.
Suddenly, Hu Lanxin pulled Xiao Feng forward, Xiao Feng noticed her strange appearance, and thought about it, could it be that she was being followed? Xiao Feng was stunned, and secretly glanced behind him with the corner of his eye, but he didn't see any strange people.
Xiao Feng asked cautiously, "Master, who is following us, why didn't I see it?"
"Naturally, you can't see what they're wearing as locals!, but they ignore one point!" Hu Shuisheng said coldly.
Xiao Feng sighed lightly, his heart inevitably became nervous, listening to Hu Lanxin's words, he must have recognized those who were following, so he asked, "Ignore a point?
"Do locals know how to lift swords?" Hu Shuisheng woke up the dreamer with a word, and Xiao Feng suddenly realized.
Behind them were four people dressed in local customs, three of them looked like men with swords, and one of them was petite and should be a woman.
Hu Shuisheng and Xiao Feng entered a tavern, avoiding the people who were following them for the time being.
Hu Shuisheng found a corner and sat down, facing the door, with a wide field of vision, and was able to see all the subtle changes around him.
Xiao Feng stared at the door of the tavern, the four people didn't walk through the door as if they had evaporated, he nodded and said, "Sure enough, they are following us!" He turned to Hu Shuisheng and asked, "Master, who do you think they will be?"
"It shouldn't be someone from the Weapons Sect, but who else can recognize us except for the people from the Weapons Sect? If I'm not mistaken, we've been followed since we came down the mountain! Keep an eye on everything!" Hu Shuisheng said.
Hu Shuisheng put the long sword beside him and said to Xiao Feng: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's take a short rest and leave for Longchi Mountain!"
After they ordered some dishes, Hu Shuisheng took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and gently scattered it on the dishes.
Xiao Feng was stunned, "Master, what are you doing?"
"This powder has the effect of testing for poison, if the dish is poisonous, this powder will burn!"
Hu Shuisheng checked it and found no abnormality, Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, and he found that there was a white paper-like thing in the fish head, he grabbed the corner of the white paper, and gently pulled it, and a folded note appeared in front of them.
There was a faint black handwriting seeping out on one side of the note, and the two were stunned for a long time, could it be that someone had ulterior motives in it?
Xiao Feng immediately spread out the note, his expression moved, he read the small words written on the note, and exclaimed, "Be careful of Gu Miao!"
Xiao Feng glanced at Hu Shuisheng, "Could it be that it was Gu Miao's person who was following us?"
"Gu Miao, how did Gu Miao come to the hinterland of Xiuzhen!" Hu Shuisheng's tone was cold, and a trace of surprise flashed in his moving eyes.
"Who could it be?" Xiao Feng muttered to himself, racking his brains and not thinking of a reason, so he asked, "Master, who do you say will remind us?"
Hu Shuisheng shook his head, "I don't know, but it can be seen that this person doesn't want to show his face, so he secretly reminds us to be more careful!"
"Don't want to show up?" Xiao Feng thought about it, who could it be? He didn't want to show up, but he was secretly reminding! Xiao Feng couldn't figure it out, and continued: "How does this person know that Gu Miao is following us?"
"If this person wants to show up, he will naturally show up, so how can there be results in such a guess!"
Xiao Feng looked lost and depressed, Hu Shuisheng couldn't guess what he was thinking, she removed the thorns of the fish with chopsticks in advance, and gently put them in Xiao Feng's bowl. Xiao Feng relieved himself and looked at Hu Shuisheng in a daze, with an indescribable taste in his heart.
Hu Shuisheng gently lifted the veil and slowly sent the food to his mouth, which was very elegant. She raised her head and touched Xiao Feng's eyes, and said coldly, "What's wrong?"
He smiled slightly, he saw Hu Shuisheng very cold on weekdays, but in fact, after getting along with her for a long time, he knew that she was not indifferent. Xiao Feng recalled that when she was in Linghong Temple, she bandaged his wounds with her own hands, and at this time, she cleaned the fish bones for him and put them in his bowl, which couldn't help but make Xiao Feng feel a little moved.
Xiao Feng also picked up some dishes and gently put them in Hu Shuisheng's bowl, she did not refuse, and Xiao Feng felt a sweet joy rise in his heart.
However, when he saw Hu Shuisheng's veil, he only felt that she was too far away, like the stars in the sky, beautiful but untouchable. If he could, he would like to be able to take off Hu Shuisheng's veil with his own hands one day, behind this veil will be how beautiful she is, whether she is as cold, but in the cold, she shows a faint warmth! This veil constantly stirred Xiao Feng's heart, and he couldn't forget it for a long time!
When Xiao Feng was intoxicated in his own world, the footsteps of a group of people came from outside the door.
