Chapter 25 Chengdu Shu Road was followed
Yin Zhiping stayed in the longevity concept for half a day, talked to Zhuang Zhifeng, and explained the reason why he disappeared for a year. Of course, it was the nonsense he had made up in advance to explain back to the mountain, and Zhuang Zhifeng did not doubt him. It was only said that the real person in charge of the sect and the real person in Changchun, after learning the news of his disappearance, were very worried, and sent disciples to search for him all over the rivers and lakes, and told him to return to the mountain as soon as possible.
Yin Zhiping said: "I just came out of Wushan, and now I am going to take Li Daoyou back to the mountain to restore my life." I came to find Senior Brother Zhuang first, because I wanted to write a letter and ask Senior Brother Zhuang to send his disciples back to Chongyang Palace first, so that the master in charge, my master, and several uncles and uncles could rest assured. I took Li Daoyou with me, and then I rushed back to the mountain. ”
Zhuang Zhifeng said: "Senior Brother Yin is thoughtful, just to pass on the news first, report that you are safe, so that a few real people can rest assured." Immediately ordered the disciple who served beside him to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study Room and asked Yin Zhiping to write a letter.
The disciple took it after a while, put it on the table next to Yin Zhiping, and poured some water into the inkstone to study ink for Yin Zhiping.
Yin Zhiping thought for a moment, thought about the wording, and did not avoid people, and after dipping it in ink, he wrote on the desk. After touching the tea, two pages of letter paper were written. The letter didn't say much else, but mainly explained the reason why he had been missing for a year, and that he was now in Chongqing Prefecture, and that he would immediately rush back to the mountain, which would take more than a month to arrive, so please rest assured.
After writing, he dried the ink on the letter, folded it into an envelope beside him, sealed it with fire paint, and took his seal from the leather bag around his waist and stamped it on the fire paint. Then he wrote on the envelope: "The master Ma Zhenren and the teacher Qiu Zhenren are personally enlightened, and the disciple Yin Zhiping respects." ”
After writing it, it was handed over to the disciple who served the pen and ink beside him, and said to Zhuang Zhifeng: "The letter has been written." Trouble Senior Brother Zhuang to send his disciples back to Benshan as soon as possible. ”
Zhuang Zhifeng looked at the disciple who was about to come over and deliver the letter to him, and ordered, "Qingxu." You don't have to give it to me, you go and give the letter to your Senior Brother Song. Tell me to leave at once and send this letter back to Benshan as soon as possible. ”
"Yes. The disciple of the Dharma name Qingxuan respectfully obeyed, turned around and went out again.
Yin Zhiping thanked Zhuang Zhifeng, talked to him again, and asked about the changes in the Quanzhen Sect in the past year, so he didn't stay longer, got up and left.
Out of the concept of longevity, the two turned back to Chongqing Mansion. Then he hired a boat at the wharf and let the boat go straight to Luzhou at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Tuojiang River.
Luzhou is a large city along the Yangtze River between Chongqing and Rongzhou, and it is also a famous wine-producing place, where the famous Luzhou Laojiao and Langjiu are produced. However, Yin Zhiping is not a good wine person, and he has no special feelings for such famous wine-producing places.
He came to Luzhou because it is the confluence of the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River. After the boat arrived in Luzhou, the two did not get off the boat and stopped in Luzhou, so they asked the boatman to turn the boat into the Tuojiang River at the confluence of the two rivers, and then go up the Tuojiang River. Travel to Chengdu.
The main traffic arteries from Sichuan to Shaanxi are mainly several Shu roads. As the name suggests, Shu Road is the road of Shu. But there are no roads in other provinces in the world, but why don't you see other regions such as Shaanxi and Henan have exclusive names such as Qin Road and Henan Road, Yu Road and so on. However, the road in Sichuan is known as the Shu Road, and it is famous all over the world, and even the great poet Li Bai has written a poem "Shu Road Difficult". The poem says that "the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky". Let the word Shu Dao. They have become synonymous with the difficult place to walk on the road.
The reason why Shu Road is famous all over the world is because it is difficult and dangerous. Shu Road is not an ordinary dirt and stone road. Rather, it is a kind of volley plank road, built along the cliff face. Some prismatic holes are dug in the cliff with utensils, and wooden stakes are inserted into the holes as beams, and then wooden planks are laid horizontally on them.
Shu is surrounded by mountains, and most of them are difficult mountains and dangerous peaks, the ravines are deep, and there is no road to pass. And in this kind of place, with the scientific and technological strength of the ancients, it is difficult to open a road through the mountains and build bridges through the mountains. Therefore, this kind of volley plank road was invented for transportation.
Among the Shu Road, the most representative and the most dangerous is the Jianmen Shu Road leading from Chengdu to Hanzhong, also known as the Sword Pavilion Road, the Golden Bull Road, the South Stack, etc. Later generations said that Sichuan has four uniques, which are the wonder of Jiuzhai, the beauty of Emei, the seclusion of Qingcheng, and the danger of Jianmen. Li Bai's poem "Shu Dao Difficulty" is written about this sword doorway.
Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou went to Chengdu to return to Shaanxi through this Shu Road.
The boat traveled for four days and arrived in Chengdu. The two stayed in Chengdu for one day, and the next day they left Chengdu, set foot on the Shu Road, and headed for Shaanxi.
It was only not far from Chengdu City that the two suddenly found that someone was following them. The two glanced at each other, remained silent, and quietly changed their paths and walked to a remote place. Then he suddenly performed light skills and walked for a while, and then hid in a big tree.
After a while, I saw that on the way when the two came, two people also chased after them with light skills. chased closer, and suddenly found that Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou were missing, and stopped to search around.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the branches above my head, and looked up, but I saw two figures, one gray and one yellow, flashing, and before I could see clearly, I saw that the cold light suddenly rose, and the necks of the two were cold, and they were each put on the neck by a long sword. Then they looked fixedly, but saw that the two targets they were tracking with the long sword around their necks.
Yin Zhiping glanced at the two people in front of him, but saw that they were both in their thirties, medium height, and mediocre appearance, which was really not surprising. He had no impression of the two of them in his mind, but he didn't know when or where he provoked them, and asked, "Who are you and why are you following us?"
The two looked at each other and kept their mouths shut.
Li Mochou's nose suddenly moved, and he said, "No need to ask, I know who they are, they are the thieves of the Five Poisons Sect." "After that, she was going to kill the Five Poisons Sect disciple under her sword.
When the two of them heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly tilted their heads, avoided the sword around their necks, and retreated, and at the same time raised their hands, and the four poisonous sand spilled out.
Yin Zhiping hurriedly held his breath and retreated, avoiding the area covered by the poisonous sand. But Li Mochou raised his long sleeves, waved away the poisonous sand in front of him, and deceived himself. The cold light of the long sword flickered, but two screams were heard, and the two disciples of the Five Poisons Sect had been stabbed to the ground by Li Mochou.
Li Mochou had fought against the Five Poisons Sect in his early years, and he knew a lot about the methods of the Five Poisons Sect, and knew that as long as the poisonous sand had not been inhaled or stained on the skin. And it will be fine. After waving away the poisonous sand with the wind on his sleeve, he did not retreat but advanced.
But Yin Zhiping didn't understand the methods of the Five Poisons Sect. I only knew that the Five Poisons Sect of the Dao was powerful with poison and Gu, and I saw the two of them spilling poisonous sand. Don't dare to try lightly, retreat first and avoid each other. Seeing that Li Mochou did not retreat but advanced, he was also taken aback. Hurriedly bypassed from the area covered by the poisonous sand, and before he could get around, he heard two screams, and the two Five Poison Sect disciples had been stabbed to the ground by Li Mochou.
When he arrived at Li Mochou's side, he looked down, but saw that the two Five Poison Sect disciples were not dead. It's just that both of them have a sword on the left and right shoulders, and they are stabbed at the important tendons that meet the arms. Both hands are temporarily invalid and cannot move.
Li Mochou took out his sword extremely quickly, although he stabbed a sword in each of each person's shoulders, but the two Five Poison Sect disciples both felt a pain in their left and right shoulders at the same time, and they were stabbed almost at the same time, so only one of them let out a miserable scream, a total of two.
Li Mochou pointed at the two people underground, and asked, "When did you follow us, and how many people are there behind us?"
The two looked at each other. endured the pain and snorted, but kept his mouth shut.
Li Mochou snorted coldly, and the sword light flashed, cutting off one of the left ears of the Five Poisons Sect disciple on the left. The mask said coldly: "If you answer me honestly, I will let you two die a painful death, otherwise I will cut off your ears and noses one by one." I gouged out my eyes, and I stomped your hands and feet. Let your life be worse than death. ”
She failed to become a couple with Lu Zhanyuan back then, but was taken advantage of by He Yuanjun. Snatching love with a horizontal knife can be said to have a lot to do with the Five Poisons Sect. If it weren't for the Five Poisons Sect poisoning them back then, so that Lu Zhanyuan was poisoned in his body, she would not have taken Lu Zhanyuan back to Wu Santong's house, and she would not have left Lu Zhanyuan to be taken care of by Wu Sanniang and He Yuanjun, she went to the branch altar of the Five Poisons Sect alone to seize the antidote; naturally, He Yuanjun would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity and excuse for Lu Zhanyuan's detoxification to take the initiative to dedicate herself and cook raw rice into cooked rice to take the first place.
Because of this, she really hated the Five Poisons Sect. When she learned in Dali that Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun had become a pair and left together, after she recovered from her injuries, she became angry with the Five Poisons Sect, and single-handedly picked the altar of the Five Poisons Sect that year, and burned it to the ground. After walking the rivers and lakes, whenever he encountered a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect, he would not be forgiven. At the moment, she didn't kill these two people immediately, and she was merciful, but the meaning of her words was even more ruthless.
Yin Zhiping didn't expect Li Mochou to suddenly take out his sword and cut off one of the ears of the disciple of the Five Poisons Sect, although he knew that Li Mochou hated the Five Poisons Sect, and he also knew that there were really no good people in the Five Poisons Sect, but he was still not used to this kind of mutilated body. couldn't help frowning, took a step forward, stopped in front of Li Mochou, and said to the two Five Poison Sect disciples underground: "If you answer my words, I will give you a good time, so as not to suffer before you die and be tortured in vain." ”
The two Five Poison Sect disciples may have been really frightened by Li Mochou's words, they looked at each other, and said loudly, "Okay, it's okay to tell you, anyway, you two won't live long, and you can't escape the pursuit of our sect leader." Then he spoke.
The reason for the incident has to start from Wushan, that is, he came out of the cave of the goddess of Wushan that day, in fact, it has been a year outside. He waited for Li Mochou in the bamboo tower for a long time and did not return, and in a hurry, he howled to call Li Mochou, but first attracted the three Five Poison Sect disciples who were searching for Li Mochou in the mountains.
One of the eldest of the three people that day said that one of them went to Wushan to collect medicine, and met Li Mochou and Sister Zhao by chance in the mountain. But because he was only alone at the time, he knew that Lu Dao was not Li Mochou's opponent, so he only hid on the side and watched, and did not take any risks. Although he later followed Li Mochou and Sister Zhao and wanted to know where they went, they didn't follow after a while, and they lost it.
Later, when he returned, he told the owner of the nearby Pengshui altar to which he belonged. On the one hand, the owner of the altar sent someone to transmit the news back to the main altar, and on the other hand, he sent three people, including him, to search for Li Mochou's traces in Wushan first. Later, the three of them lost their news and did not see their turns, and the altar owner knew that most of the three people were not lucky. Later, he sent additional people to Wushan to search, but Wushan was too big, and they searched for several days, but the search was fruitless in a short time.
On the other hand, the news came back to the main altar, and the sect leader Blue Scorpion Dragon attached great importance to it, and personally led the good players in the sect to Sichuan, wanting to kill Li Mochou, the great enemy, to avenge the destruction of the Dali branch altar that year, and to recapture the "Five Poison Secrets" that was robbed by Li Mochou.
The power of the Five Poisons Sect is mainly in the southwest, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. After Li Mochou destroyed the altar in Dali, he never returned to Dali, and later he has been active in the Central Plains, Jiangnan and other areas. Although the Five Poisons Sect was eager to seek revenge on Li Mochou, they were a little beyond the reach of the Central Plains, Jiangnan and other powerful forces. Although disciples have been sent to the Central Plains, Jiangnan and other places to search for Li Mochou's traces over the years, they have only heard the news of Li Mochou's presence on the rivers and lakes, but they have not been able to find Li Mochou.
Suddenly, I got the news from Peng Shuitan, saying that Li Mochou appeared in Wushan, and the blue scorpion dragon was overjoyed, so he wanted to take advantage of Li Mochou's good opportunity in Sichuan to kill Li Mochou, a big enemy. On the one hand, he ordered Peng Shuitan to step up the search for Li Mochou's traces, and on the other hand, he personally led the experts in the sect to Sichuan to sit in Sichuan.
It's just that when he led people to Sichuan, at this time, Li Mochou had already left Wushan with Yin Zhiping in disguise and set off for Dali.
After the blue scorpion dragon led people to Pengshui Altar, he sent people to Wushan to look for Li Mochou's traces, but when he finally found the bamboo building where Li Mochou lived, it was already empty.
The blue scorpion dragon judged that this was Li Mochou's hermitage, and led people to wait here for a few days, but Li Mochou still did not return. and sent people to inquire about the news in nearby towns, and found out that Li Mochou had been haunted nearby before, and then he realized that Li Mochou had been living in seclusion in Wushan for a short time.
Finally got Li Mochou's traces, and the blue scorpion dragon refused to give up easily. While searching for Li Mochou's traces throughout Sichuan, he put a special medicine in that bamboo building. This medicine is non-toxic and harmless, colorless and tasteless, but it can be attached to objects for up to three months, and through a special Gu worm, the breath of this medicine can be traced within a radius of three miles.
The blue scorpion dragon had the idea that Li Mochou might come back, and placed this special medicine in the bamboo building. If Li Mochou returned here within three months, as long as he stayed in the bamboo building for a while, his clothes would be stained with this drug, which would allow them to track him down.
And Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou did return to the bamboo building in Wushan within three months, and they were unknowingly contaminated with this drug. Although they only stayed in Wushan for one night before heading down the mountain, they were still discovered by the Gu worms on the two Five Poison Sect disciples who had been waiting near Wushan for a long time by the Blue Scorpion Dragon. These two Five Poison Godbrothers are the two in front of them.
It's just that Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou didn't stop all the way after that, and the two Five Poison Sect disciples could only follow along the way, leaving markers along the way, and on the other hand, they sent back the news to Peng Shui Altar that the sect leader Blue Scorpion Dragon had been staying here to sit in the branch altar. It wasn't until Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou arrived in Chengdu that the two of them caught up.
They had been hanging far behind before, and they had never been able to catch up with Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou, and they didn't even see their figures. It's not easy to catch up now, but I accidentally chased closer, but I was discovered by Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou-
