24. Farewell
The sky was slightly bright, and the four of them left the cave and climbed down the cliff, this mountain resembled a pillar of the underworld, the morning mist swirled, even in the early morning, the surroundings were blurred. Amman and Li Ruolan were not familiar with the mountain shape, so they each took a rope, tied it to Gui Yanran, and followed him all the way down. Fortunately, the two of them were extremely skilled and not dangerous, and they came to the ground after a short time.
The place where they descended the mountain was different from when they went up, with the shade of the mountain on their backs, so it was even more bleak, and there was no vegetation in the mountain, and it was cold and silent. Seeing this, Gui Yanran couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked over. Li Ruolan saw that his expression was different, and asked, "Master, what are you doing running so fast?"
Gui Yanran raised his head, with tears in his eyes, a sad expression, and shook his head: "It's nothing?"
Li Ruolan and Amman both felt strange and wanted to ask together, but Qingcangzi waved his hand to stop it, patted Gui Yanran's shoulder, and asked, "You remember?"
Gui Yanran looked to the side, through the fog shadow, he saw a tombstone on the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, you buried my mother here, right?"
Qingcangzi sighed: "It's really hard for you." But this matter is irretrievable, it is useless to repent, and you can't blindly escape, so you can go forward and kowtow for her. ”
Gui Yanran wiped away her tears and rushed to the tombstone, the surroundings were bare, and there was no grass. Gui Yanran knelt on the ground, kowtowing hard with a bang, Qing Cangzi saw that he was acting impulsively, afraid that he would hurt himself, so he gently tapped Gui Yanran's acupoint, picked him up, and said: "Let's go, the mind is here, she will be able to know under the nine springs." ”
Amman asked, "Is this the grave of the eldest brother's mother, how could she die here?" Li Ruolan also blinked, extremely concerned.
Qingcangzi said: "In the future, if Yan Ran has a heart, she will naturally tell you, but at the moment, it is useless to mention it, and it will only evoke a sad past, and I am inconvenient to say more." ”
Amman lives on her own, and she is reluctant to talk about her mother, Dharamhuma. Sure enough, she didn't ask any more, although Li Ruolan was curious, she was persuaded by Amman to give up.
After a meal, Gui Yanran rushed open the acupoint, Qingcangzi let him down, seeing that he was still a little sad, but his expression was resolute, he had already suppressed his emotions, and secretly rejoiced: "Yan Ran, this child has grown a lot better than a year ago." ”
Qingcangzi sent them to the main road. said: "Apprentice, apprentice sister, apprentice grandson, the old man accompanied you all night, uncomfortable, you have to take care of yourself at this time, you go along this road, you will be able to reach the Hengyang Villa in a short time." ”
Amman hurriedly said: "Master Qingcangzi, let's Snow Lotus Sect"
Li Ruolan hurriedly shouted: "Master, our Jianglong Gang"
Qing Cangzi's face changed. said: "Lao Tzu is in the rivers and lakes, all he wants is to be at ease, even his own Kunlun can't control me, don't push me into the fire pit." "Not much. Turned around and jumped into the dense forest, a few ups and downs, and disappeared.
Amman and Li Ruolan sighed together, and Gui Yanran smiled: "Master, his old man doesn't like disputes in the rivers and lakes. Don't be embarrassed for him. ”
Amman nodded: "He's so old, even if he used to be good at kung fu, he still has some skills now." But after all, the energy is not as good as in the past, and we really shouldn't be strong. ”
Li Ruolan agreed: "Although he was known as one of the four masters in the world back then and had a great reputation, after all, there are talents in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are improving, maybe there are many outstanding heroes who have surpassed them." But everyone misses the old and refuses to admit it. I look at Uncle Amman, and his kung fu is not necessarily below his predecessors. If she hadn't been negligent for a while, she wouldn't have been caught by Zhou Xingtian. ”
She didn't see Qingcangzi and Zhou Xingtian's hands, even if she did, she couldn't understand the profound and clever things, this section is similar to Amman, their internal strength has been endowed by God, they know that they are different, and they rarely meet opponents in the rivers and lakes, so they are quite self-righteous. The two of them are thick and thin, this is the other, praise each other, and walk along the avenue, Gui Yanran wants to interject and refute, but where can I find the opportunity?
Not long after, Amman mentioned the matter of the goshawk, and Li Ruolan said: "Uncle Shi, is the goshawk really your master?"
Amman was a little sad and sighed: "Yes, why did your Jianglong Gang also come to him?
Li Ruolan shook her head and said, "Although our gang has a bad reputation, this time it is really dedicated to repaying the favor." Brother Goshawk has a life-saving grace for me, and I always don't believe him when he talks about his evil deeds. So she told the goshawk and Li Tingyu and others about saving her in the Slave Blood Mountain.
The more Amman listened, the more surprised he became, and exclaimed, "Yes? That's really a coincidence, it turns out that we were both saved by him that time." He went to Nu Blood Mountain, originally looking for the Tu Tu Mountain Flower to save my internal strength injury, but I didn't expect to save you by this. Thinking of this, where can I still have a little grudge? I thought: "Although he killed Rapp and deceived me for so long, this life-saving grace is a thin cloud, and if there is no him, I can't practice the current kung fu, in the end, I actually owe him a lot, I wanted to come here to see him, who knew that by mistake, I met my father, brother, and Xiao Ruolan, and it was not worth the trip." ”
Gui Yanran thought to herself: "The second brother is my sister's master, so am I not my sister's uncle?" It's really a mess, so it's better not to tell the second brother." ”
The three of them talked and laughed along the way, and the pace was also fast, and they saw Hengyang Mountain in a short time, and they wanted to turn around and go up the mountain, but they saw a cypress forest in front of them, and there were about ten people resting under the forest, Gui Yanran saw that there were goshawks, Li Tingyu and other Jianglong gang companions, Yu Fan, Zhang Yuandao, Sha Yanzi and others were also impressive, he was happy, greeted loudly, and the three of them rushed over there. Amman ran to Yu Fan, and Li Ruolan ran to Li Tingyu, each of whom had the joy of reunion. And Li Ruolan's fluffy blue night owl fluttered its wings around her, screaming quite happily, Li Ruolan held it in her hand, loved it so much, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Goshawk said happily: "Third brother, why have you been there for so long? ”
Gui Yanran looked embarrassed and said, "Finally, I didn't encounter any danger. I didn't want to talk about my own private affairs, so I looked behind the goshawk and saw that many people were seriously injured, that Zhang Yuandao had a broken arm, Sha Shizi was covered with scars, and several of Li Linhong's subordinates were also groggy, and their faces were full of scratches. He hurriedly asked, "Why are you guys like this?
Li Linhong sighed and said, "You have escaped, I don't know how dangerous the situation on the mountain is. After you left, the group fought with those monsters, each of them fierce and vicious, and one of the trolls was even more terrifying, and they surrounded them, and the attack was like a tide. Who knew that after a while, those monsters touched the mechanism, the underground explosives exploded, and the ground of the martial arts arena collapsed, except for those of us who stood on the steps, all the others fell into the abyss, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. ”
Zhang Yuandao hurriedly said: "It was Brother Yu Fan who risked his life to save my life, I was in a daze, my collar hung on a sharp stone and was crumbling, Brother Yu Fan pulled me, and I almost fell into the hole." Brother Yu Fan, you are as kind as a mountain, from now on, I Zhang Yuandao obey your orders and be loyal. ”
Yu Fan hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang is polite, we meet here, and we are also fated, so there is no need to distinguish between the superior and the inferior." However, since you have this thought, it is better to join my Snow Lotus Sect, and the Nine Infant Sect Master will definitely appreciate you. "The reason why Jiuying can lead the Snow Lotus Sect to compete for dominance in the rivers and lakes is that in addition to his own martial arts reaching the peak, he relies on his ability to recognize pearls and recruit talents. I often tell the doorman: "When you walk outside, if you meet a rare talent, you don't need to inform it, just pull the door out of the door and bring him to see me." ”
Zhang Yuandao thought to himself: "This is ten times better than me in martial arts, but he is so humble and polite, so I can deduce that the master of the Nine Infant Sect is even more heroic." I used to be arrogant, arrogant, and rude, and I was foolish and ignorant. Ashamed for a while, eager to repent, he agreed to join the Snow Lotus Sect, Amman and Yu Fan were overjoyed, knowing that this person's martial arts skills were even better than the former hall master of the Ghost Sword Sect, and they had another capable member of the Snow Lotus Sect.
Gui Yanran ignored this verse and asked, "Then how did you escape later?"
Li Linhong said: "Those monsters want to kill people and destroy us in one fell swoop." Our situation is unfavorable, so we can only find a way to escape, and walk while fighting, but that giant wolf-like monster is so powerful that my subordinates will be cut off by the slightest touch of it. Except for the Mo Wu brothers, everyone else has to avoid their edge. Originally, everyone was in a catastrophe, but at this moment, a strange thing happened. ”
Gui Yanran listened to his mysteriousness, his heart was nervous, and he asked, "What kind of strange thing?"
Li Linhong looked dazed and said, "Those monsters seem to have suddenly been frightened, prostrate on the ground, trembling. Let's see, could it be that there are really gods who are coming to save people? Where do you dare to stay, and run to the bottom of the mountain in a smoke, just at this time, I met this old man. He pointed to the side.
Gui Yanran looked there, and saw a person in a black robe with a bow, who was Xuan Qin who had shown him the way on the road before. Gui Yanran said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Xuan Qin! Thanks to your grace in guiding the way, otherwise I wouldn't have run blindly in the south, east and west, but it would have been really bad." ”
Li Linhong said: "This old man is unhurried, and his speech is a little unpleasant, but he led us to this place and let us cultivate here, which is strange to say, those monsters have not chased after them so far." ”
The goshawk suddenly said: "The dragon dives into the sea and the fish and crabs tremble, the phoenix comes out of the clouds and the birds worship, those monsters, I am afraid that they have met the nemesis, and they naturally have a sense of awe. ”
Li Linhong laughed and said, "What nemesis did they meet? Do you say it's the Xuanqin brothers?"
Goshawk said: "I don't know. ”
Li Tingyu said with a smile: "Brother Xuan seems to be born auspicious, no matter how much trouble we encounter, as long as he arrives, he will be able to solve the siege inexplicably." Back then, it was like this in Nuxue Mountain, it was like this in Tired Horse Slope, it was like this in Jiulangtan, and it was the same in Hengyang Mountain. ”
Li Linhong saw that his subordinates were embarrassed and miserable, while Li Tingyu's subordinates were safe and sound, and they were quite disgraced. glanced at Mo worriedly, and saw that he was looking at himself, his expression was a little subtle, and he was in a disturbed mood for a while, and he was inexplicably troubled.
The crowd was greeting each other, when suddenly a carriage came galloping from the west avenue, and it was very anxious.
Seeing this, Amman smiled and said, "It's Brother Jiuying who sent someone to help." (To be continued......)
