Chapter 14 Xiangyang asks for directions

Song Qingshu calculates that there is only the Gusu Murong family, as well as the Sword Demon Valley, and Tantra's "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" has a good chance.

However, Gusu Murong's family is far away in Taihu Lake, and the water system of Taihu Lake itself is not clear at all, and trying to find an island that has been abandoned for hundreds of years in the vast Taihu Lake is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. As for "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong", although it can be studied in tantric years, it is to go to the Western Regions, and his current martial arts are not suitable for going to other places. Comparatively speaking, only Sword Demon Valley is the closest to Wudang Mountain. For himself, it is also the greatest help, for him, it can be said that the first month is near the water. There is a part of the world's magic not far away, and naturally there is no reason to give up the near and seek the farthest. Moreover, the inheritance of the Sword Demon Valley is also simple and safe. But is this really the case? Song Qingshu didn't know. He now only has the idea of gaining the snake gall and greatly increasing his strength.

Wudang Mountain, located in the northwest of Hubei Province, Shiyan City, Danjiangkou, belongs to the eastern section of Daba. It is also known as Taihe Mountain, Xie Luo Mountain, Shenshang Mountain, Xianmur Mountain, and has the name of "Taiyue", "Xuanyue" and "Dayue" in ancient times. The west boundary is the South River, the east is the Han River, the south is the Jundian River and the Manan River, the south is the Shennongjia primeval forest, the north is the Danjiangkou Reservoir, and Xiangyang is in the east of Wudang Mountain.

Song Qingshu left a letter in the room, saying that he had found the traces of the black-clothed man who had held Zhang Wuji hostage, and chased him out. In fact, this is just an excuse, just to make it so that I don't seem so abrupt when I leave Wudang Mountain. As for this excuse, others don't believe it, and this is not within Song Qingshu's consideration.

Then with enough silver and a steel sword, Song Qingshu began his first journey to the rivers and lakes

Xiangyang City is located on the south bank of the Han River, facing Fancheng on the north bank across the river, it is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is backed by mountains, it is not only the regional political, economic and cultural center of the past dynasties, but also a famous military town in ancient and modern times. Because the city wall is solid, the city is high and the pool is deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is known as "Xiangyang of iron". In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the hero Guo Jing relied on Xiangyang City to resist the Mongol army for decades, and the Mongol army could not advance a bit.

From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the present Yuan Shun Emperor to the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty, about 2,000 years up and down, Xiangyang has always been an important battlefield for the competition of heroes, and the smoke of war continues to fill the sky above it.

"Do you know what happened to the heroes in Wudang this time?"

"Who doesn't know this, isn't it just to ask Xie Xun and the whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer Knife?"

"Yes, I heard that he is still the leader of the Shaolin Temple. ”

"It's a pity, they've all gone. ”

"What, how is it possible, how could the Shaolin Temple be sent away so easily. ”

"Hehe, you don't know, I heard that the secret of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer Sword has been made public, and it is not cost-effective to take the risk of committing Wudang. ”

"What Heavenly Sword, the secret of the Dragon Slayer Knife has been revealed?

In the downstairs pavilion of an inn in the south of Xiangyang City, there are several tables of people from the rivers and lakes, drinking and eating, talking about the situation in the rivers and lakes, and there is a great picture of the heroism of cooking wine and talking about heroes.

At a table by the window, the young man who poured a cup of sake in a pot took a sip with great interest, and his brows furrowed slightly, obviously, the taste of the sake in the cup was not very satisfying.

"Hehe, I didn't expect what happened in Wudang to spread so quickly on the rivers and lakes. Song Qingshu thought while drinking a little wine, "But all this has nothing to do with me now, and the top priority now is to find the Sword Demon Valley hidden in the deep mountains." ”

Looking at the rolling water of the Han River outside the window, Song Qingshu pondered, "I didn't expect that even the easiest Sword Demon Valley to get hold of is full of difficulties, it seems that I think everything is too simple, and if the Sword Demon Valley is so easy to discover, I'm afraid it would have been famous a long time ago." But who should I talk to?"

"Guest officer, the dish you want is here, please use it slowly. At this moment, a voice interrupted Song Qingshu's thoughts.

"Huh? No. The wine glass in Song Qingshu's hand stopped in the air. Looking at the shopkeeper in front of him, "Isn't this the ideal character?"

It is really 'the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village'.

If you want to say who is the most well-informed, Song Qingshu may not be able to say, but in the inn, there are countless three sects and nine streams encountered every day, maybe he will know.

"Wait. Song Qingshu hurriedly stopped Xiao Er, who was about to leave, "Little Second Brother go slowly, I have something to ask." ”

"Oh, if the guest officer has any orders, the little one knows everything, and he has no end to it. Xiao Er smiled flatteringly.

"Hehe, I just wanted to ask the little second brother if he knew where there was a poisonous snake with a faint golden light all over his body near Xiangyang City. Song Qingshu said lightly.

"A poisonous snake with a faint golden light all over his body?" Xiao Er pretended to be contemplative, scratching his ears and cheeks, but his eyes were staring at Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seems that this tip is not just modern times, Song Qingshu shook his head, took out a broken silver from his arms, stuffed it into the small second-hand, and said, "Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough. Xiao Er measured it with his hand, followed by a smile on his face, his eyes were about to be lost, Xiao Er carefully put the silver in his pocket, and said, "The guest officer asked me this right." ”

"Oh. Song Qingshu glanced at Xiao Er, undeniable.

"Don't believe it, guest officer. Seeing that Song Qingshu didn't believe it, Xiao Er was anxious and said, "My family lives in the suburbs of Xiangyang, my grandfather and father are hunting for a living, my grandfather told me about the poisonous snake with a faint golden light all over the body, but this kind of poisonous snake is very poisonous and dare not eat it, so later my grandfather stopped hunting." ”

"Oh, it looks like you really know. "Song Qingshu had a dispensable expression on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart, the so-called 'stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, it takes no effort to get it'. That's how it comes to thought.

"Okay, as long as you lead the way and find it, this is yours. Song Qingshu said and took out a broken silver from his arms.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. Xiao Er nodded and smiled.

Fortunately, when Song Qingshu left Wudang Mountain, he brought enough silver just in case, after all, 'people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves'. Otherwise, there is no silver, and there is no such cheap thing to do if you want the horses to run fast and the horses not to eat grass. I'm afraid that the matter of finding the Sword Demon Valley will have to make another wave.
