The sky was overcast, there were no stars or moons, and only the light of the caravan patrol could be seen. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhu Yushi did not alarm anyone when he went down the mountain. It was even darker at the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by strange rocks and mountains, like the fangs of wild beasts in the dark night, with their mouths wide open to devour the sky. Zhu Yushi did not know the specific location of Crescent Mountain, only about thirty miles to the west. At the moment, with the burden on his back, he began to work lightly and galloped westward.

The cold wind is cold, the mountain road is rugged, and Zhu Yushi's figure shuttles freely through the mountains, flowing clouds and water. After a stick of incense, he turned a mountain col, and saw a strange peak standing in the distance, the shape of the mountain was in a semi-arc, the two ends were pointed, and the middle was wide, like a crescent moon in the sky, presumably it was the crescent moon mountain.

Although Zhu Yushi didn't know where Ling Xudu was, but Crescent Mountain was his hometown, and he should usually return here, this is a human habit, Zhu Yushi decided to gamble on his luck. He immediately restrained his light skills and walked forward vigilantly. He wasn't afraid of fighting Ling Xudu, he was just afraid that he wouldn't find anyone.

There was ghostly silence all around, only the sound of the wind howling. The Crescent Moon Mountain is not too big, Zhu Yushi walked around it for three weeks, and he was anxious, thinking that Ling Xudu really went to other places, it would be a big trouble. He simply walked up the mountain, thinking to himself that this mountain was not big, and if he was really on the mountain, even if you didn't come out, I would have a chance to find you.

Zhu Yushi climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, only to see a small thatched hut hidden among the leaves. His heart moved, guessing that this was Ling Xudu's residence, so he walked through the weeds to the front, only to see that the fence made of trees and branches outside the thatched hut had collapsed and burned, the vegetable garden on the two pings was also deserted and filled, and the thatched hut was burned to the point that only the frame remained, and the house was in a mess, and the only thing that could be seen was that Ling Xudu was not inside.

At this time, it was nearly five watches, the night was coming to an end, dawn was coming, Zhu Yushi felt tired after walking all night, so he sat down on the ruins in front of the thatched hut, his heart was extremely depressed, and he had completely given up on finding Ling Xudu, thinking about how to sneak back to Laojun Mountain to rescue Zhu Zhirui. He had already checked the terrain on his way down, and in addition to the main road he had been on, there were two small paths that could sneak up the mountain. As for the two brothers, Zhu Jia and Zhou Cao, they really can't take care of it, and they can only save one at the moment. The smoothest result was to return to Guanzhong with Zhu Zhirui. If the two brothers of the Zhu family and Zhou Cao had not been poisoned at that time, they would have gone to rescue Luo Tianchu again, and the horses would have been disturbed.

After he made a plan, he was about to return to Laojun Mountain, when he suddenly heard someone in the empty and quiet night: "Aren't you looking for it?" Zhu Yushi was so frightened that his heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned around and looked at the sound. I saw a man in black sitting on a tree three feet away like a ghost, a pair of star-like eyes shining like a beast in the night, his facial features were hidden in the night, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He didn't seem to have any ill will towards Zhu Yushi, otherwise he wouldn't have said hello first.

Zhu Yushi took a deep breath and said, "Who is Your Excellency, how can you be here." The man sneered: "Aren't you looking for me after looking for a night? Why don't you know each other when you meet?" Zhu Yushi said: "Sure enough, Senior Ling, how did Senior know that I was looking for you." Ling Xudu said: "I also know that you are carrying this bag of treasure just to lure me out, do you want to kill me?" Zhu Yushi said strangely: "This... How do you know this?" Ling Xudu sneered: "Even if I don't know, a fool like you, carrying a heavy burden on his back, wearing the clothes of a caravan, and coming to Crescent Moon Mountain alone, can see that he is trying to lure me into the bait." Zhu Yushi sighed and said, "The seniors have already seen why they want to show up again." Ling Xudu said: "What I didn't expect was that you really dared to go up the mountain alone, I just wanted to see how sacred you were." Zhu Yushi smiled bitterly: "I'm just a nobody, and I have no choice but to be forced to come, otherwise how dare I come to trouble my predecessors." Ling Xudu said: "You don't need to be modest, you defeated one hundred and fifty people from Huang Xingtang alone, this is not something that a nobody can do." Zhu Yushi was even more surprised: "The seniors even know about this matter?" Ling Xudu said: "I also know that the eldest lady of the Zhu family went up the mountain with you, because you killed Tong Lanshan's father, she made it difficult for you like this, so she gave you this mortal errand." Zhu Yushi sighed: "Since my predecessors know everything, then I won't hide it." I want to borrow a senior long whip to use. The whip is just a weapon for my predecessors, but for me, it is related to the lives of hundreds of people, and I hope that my predecessors will be merciful. ”

Ling Xudu said: "Actually, I also sympathize with you. I know that you joined the caravan to save the Zhu family, I admire this chivalrous spirit very much, and it stands to reason that I should help you. But the weapons of the Jianghu people are regarded as lives, how can they be given to you easily. Zhu Yushi said: "Can the predecessors bear to let so many people die for a whip?" Ling Xudu said: "I'll give you a chance." As long as you can overcome me, I will give you the long whip of the green snake, and I will never reappear, just as if I am really dead. Zhu Yushi said: "Is there no other way?" Ling Xudu said: "We don't have to fight, it's just a light competition." I saw that you were delicate when you went up the mountain, and I wanted to learn from you. Zhu Yushi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's better than trying light skills, so as not to be injured by mistake, I don't know how the predecessors want to compare." Ling Xudu said: "I run after you, and if I can't get rid of you within fifty miles, even if I lose." Zhu Yushi said: "Fifty miles is not too far, but I am afraid that my predecessors will suffer." Ling Xudu laughed and said, "Good boy, you have the ability to chase after it." ”

Seeing what he was doing, the man was already shooting backwards like a meteor, and said, "Boy, now it's on." "As soon as the others hit the ground, they galloped away like a whirlwind. Zhu Yushi shook his spirits and started to catch up after him. Ling Xudu only used six collars at first, and wanted to see how Zhu Yushi looked, but he didn't expect Zhu Yushi to close the distance to seven zhang in a few clicks, so he was taken aback, and performed the stunt "Bagua Lost Step", the footwork was mysterious and peculiar, and the distance was suddenly widened. Zhu Yushi also used the "Lingxiao Qingyun Step" and always kept a distance of ten zhang from him.

The two rushed down the Crescent Mountain, and on the rugged mountain road, they fell into a small mountain and a huge rock. However, Ling Xudu has a geographical advantage, and he is usually used to walking mountain roads, and he is better than Zhu Yushi in choosing the road and adapting to it, and the distance has been extended to fifteen zhang after fifteen miles. Sometimes as soon as Ling Xudu turned over the mountain pass, Zhu Yushi couldn't see it, as long as Ling Xudu casually found a hidden place to hide, Zhu Yushi had already lost, and Ling Xudu was obviously unwilling to win by skill, and still jumped straight forward, so that Zhu Yushi could find himself.

At this time, the two of them rushed up to a mountain peak, with a cliff on one side, and only a steep mountain road two feet under their feet could walk, usually hunters and medicine pickers all held on to the mountain wall, step by step, but they went up at full speed like a gust of wind. Zhu Yushi was not familiar with the road conditions, but he felt that the mountain wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the slope was getting steeper and steeper.

Suddenly, Ling Xudu in front of him shouted: "Be careful, there is a cliff in front of you, don't be reluctant to jump." Zhu Yushi thought to himself that he was really upright and did not take advantage of himself at all. When he got closer, he saw a dead-end cliff in front of him, nine feet away from the cliff on the opposite bank. Although this distance is not difficult for Zhu Yushi, it is the darkest hour before dawn, and the line of sight is not good when moving at full speed, and it is easy to misjudge. Zhu Yushi gritted his teeth, jumped up, and took five steps in the air at a height of 10,000 feet from the ground, as if walking in mid-air, and landed on the opposite bank like catkins. Ling Xudu was already twenty zhang away, glanced back at him, showed a look of surprise, turned around and continued to rush forward. (To be continued.) )
