Chapter 158 I didn’t know there was a tiger in the mountain
The white horse neighed and stopped automatically, waving its white tail, as if it was in awe of the mountain and waiting. The master's next order.
The team behind also stopped, and Mingchuan Rongmei reined in her horse and stopped beside Dongfang Ying. She also felt the mysterious pressure and sword energy of this mountain.
She looked at a stone tablet under the grand gate of the stone carving archway, with large fonts painted in red paint, then looked up at the ethereal peaks and jungles like a fairyland, and muttered:
< p> "Zhanlu Sword Mountain, Dongguan Wumen.""What a powerful sword mountain in the world! I don't know why, when I got here, I felt like my heart was surging, and I wanted to show off. The urge to fist, kick, and wield swords."
"It seems that the Zhanlu Sword can be produced in this mountain, which has its own unique charm."
Dongfang Ying also has it! This impulse made me want to pull out the sword from my back and swing it heartily, but I secretly endured it and shouted:
"Let's all go into Zhanlu Mountain and take a look. Is this famous Sword Mountain a blessed place for us? Can it accept us?"
After saying that, he shook the reins and rode through the mountain gate, entering the mountain road shaded by green pines. Mingchuan Rongmei and Zhan Ruilong also came. Following closely behind, Nangong Huiyue and Lan Zhixin looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.
Dou Nan said hello from behind, and everyone followed him into the mountain.
Dongfang Ying actually wanted to be the first to explore the path. If there were any dangers or accidents, she might as well face and resolve them herself, so she took the lead. She used all her skills to sneak around and watch the cliffs on both sides of the trail. and dense forests.
This road is only four or five feet wide and is already somewhat deserted. The roadside is overgrown with weeds and the rocks underfoot are exposed and rugged. It seems that there have been few pedestrians for many years and lack of maintenance.
The white horse she sits on is a BMW that travels thousands of miles a day. It runs as usual, so she doesn’t think anything of it, but the people behind her are not as relaxed as she is.
Unknowingly, he distanced himself from everyone, and even Mingchuan Rongmei was more than ten feet behind.
The mountain road gradually becomes steeper and narrower, and the mountain becomes more and more dangerous. There are more thatch branches sticking out on both sides, making walking more and more difficult.
He simply pulled out his sword and slashed all the way, like a pioneer.
After walking more than twenty feet, there was a sudden "woo" above my head, and a ball of white stuff flew past my eyes.
Dongfang Ying thought it was some kind of monster coming, and was about to cut it in half with a sword, but saw that the thing had already jumped into the grass, and turned around with two red eyes staring at it. She is a small and cute white fox.
Dongfang Ying smiled and shook her head, and said softly to the little white fox:
"Little white fox, little white fox, noWhat are you doing out here? I almost cut you into pieces with a sword. How dangerous! Go home quickly and stop running around! "
The little white fox called "嘤嘤嘤" a few times, circled towards her twice, then turned around and got into a ravine, and disappeared in an instant.
< p> At this time, Mingchuan Rongmei also caught up and asked:"Ying'er, you are not in danger, are you? Why do I seem to hear who you are talking to? "
Dongfang Ying shook her head and smiled:
"It's a little white fox. This is the first time I've seen such a cute and beautiful fox. I really want to raise it. Catch them and keep them for fun. "
Mingchuan Rongmei also smiled and said:
"I heard my mother say that in ancient times, there was a great scholar who said, if the mountain is not high, the immortal will be famous. , The water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. ”
“Actually, foxes are also smart and witty spiritual beasts. There are foxes in this mountain, which means that this mountain is also very spiritual. "
Dongfang Ying nodded and said:
"That's true. The further we go in, the sharper the sword in my hand becomes. I don't even need it. Chopping hard, it seems to be alive, automatically cutting through thorns and obstacles, invincible. "
Mingchuan Rongmei looked up at the tree-shaded sky and muttered:
"Ying'er, if we continue on this mountain road, we still don't know if there is a way ahead. , if we want to reach the top of the mountain and find a suitable place to stay, I'm afraid we may not be able to do it today. "
"Are you really going to continue going up the mountain and spend so much time here? "
Dongfang Ying was in high spirits, and this sword mountain had an inexplicable attraction for her. She shook the sword in her hand, and it buzzed like a dragon and a phoenix, and she said heroically:
p>
"What are you afraid of? Even if there is really no way to go, I will use the sword in my hand to carve a way out, and the BMW under my seat to pedal a path. "
"Besides, didn't Sister Gan tell me that when she was a child, she once climbed Zhanlu Mountain to play? It shows that there is a road leading to the mountain. ”
“It’s just that there have been fewer people entering the mountains in recent years, and the road has become more difficult to walk. In fact, being so inaccessible makes it easier for everyone to hide and train, so that they are not easily discovered.” "
"After this period of time, we have established a firm foothold and can develop down the mountain. "
Mingchuan Rongmei bit her lip, nodded and said:
"Okay, actually, I also support you in keeping them and training them into a combat-effective team. They will become Your capable subordinate. "
"I just have a request. You can't leave me behind. I want to go north to Zhejiang with you. You just need to leave the big man behind, and he will teach everyone how to practice guns. That's enough. ”
Dongfang Ying actually feels that Mingchuan Rongmei is herHis right-hand man became increasingly inseparable from her, but he was worried that if he took her with him, Nangong Huiyue would worry too much and pester her to follow him.
Once Nangong Huiyue follows, Xiaoyun Xiaoxia will also follow, which will be troublesome.
Seeing Mingchuan Rongmei’s determined expression, Dongfang Ying could only say:
“Okay, I’ll think about it. If you can get Brother Zhan to agree to stay, then you can come with me. Let's go."
Mingchuan Rongmei stretched out her little finger and hooked her finger:
"It's a deal. Let me help you clear the way. Let's get into the mountains quickly." < /p>
At that moment, Mingchuan Rongmei took off a waist knife from the stirrup, and together with Dongfang Ying, they cut off the excess weeds and branches on the roadside and advanced inside.
The two of them started moving at a much faster speed. Zhancha had traveled more than forty feet, and suddenly their vision suddenly became clear. The two of them discovered that there was a large open space in front of them, and a collapsed building. wooden shed.
Dozens of tall camphor trees surround the open space, with lush branches and leaves, a canopy like a canopy, and a sharp cliff behind. Clear springs gush out from the cracks in the rocks and form a small pool. The environment is actually very quiet and simple. .
The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and were very happy, because not only did they find that someone seemed to have lived here before, and a small tea house was opened, but there was also a stone path extending upwards from the outside, apparently leading to the top of the mountain.
Since a tea shop once opened here, it must have served people coming and going, indicating that people did come and go in the past. There must have been places such as mountain temples and ancient temples on the mountain, and there may even be cottages or villages. .
The most important thing is that depending on the situation from here up, the road is still in good condition, so there is no need to toss all the way, and the speed can be accelerated.
The two girls were also a little tired and thought they should wait for everyone, so they dismounted and walked towards the collapsed shed. They saw a three-foot-square wooden sign with the words "Donglu" written in calligraphy on it. The words "Teahouse" were written lightly due to wind and rain, and the wooden boards were already cracked.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Letting the white horse and the red horse eat grass on the ground, the two found a few small wooden benches that could still be used for sitting, placed them, and sat down facing the quiet empty valley outside.
Mingchuan Rongmei smiled and said:
"Ying'er, you are really right. Sure enough, there are still built roads leading to the mountain. I just don't know what the mountain looks like? Is that possible? Will there be a group of bandits living there?"
Dongfang Ying also said with a smile:
"That would be better. We can get rid of them easily, firstly, to eliminate harm for the people, and secondly, Let's seize their lair and use it as a shelter for us, killing two birds with one stone."
Mingchuan Rongmei said:
"But if there are really bandits, they should also send people. Guard the mountain pass, right?"
"We came all the way from that Wumen gate, and there are alsoMore than two miles away, not even half a person can be seen. Their hearts must be too big! "
Dongfang Ying muttered:
"From Wumen to here, the road is covered with grass. Obviously no one has taken this road for many years. If there are really bandits on the mountain, Kou Zhanshan is the king, so the people nearby will definitely not dare to approach him at will. "
"This is probably why this road is undefended. But if we go further up, we have to be careful. Someone may be guarding us in dangerous places. "
While the two were thinking about it, they heard the noise of people and horses neighing from the intersection below. Zhan Ruilong had already rushed up on horseback and shouted:
"This road is too difficult. I, Lao Zhan, am not afraid of leaving, but those girls are probably going to fall down from exhaustion. "
Dongfang Ying stood up and said with a smile:
"It's just that this section is more difficult, but the rest should be much easier, and there are mules and horses to help. What are you afraid of? ”
“Everyone, let’s take a rest here and take a breath before continuing up.” "
Zhan Ruilong jumped off the horse and walked around the collapsed teahouse. During this time, other people came up one after another. Although they were sitting on the mule horse, like Lan Zhixin and Guo Yunli Xiaoyun Xiaoxia and the other girls were still panting from exhaustion. The journey was very bumpy.
Dongfang Ying asked everyone to get off their horses and take a rest. After burning incense, they continued walking up the stone road. < /p>
She and Mingchuan Rongmei had rested enough, so they got on their horses and headed forward together.
Although the road up from here is still four or five feet wide, the stone slabs are very solid. There are mostly stone walls on both sides, with hanging vines and sparse branches and weeds.
And the slope is not steep. Each step is about two feet wide, and the height is raised three or four inches. It takes no effort at all to ride up.
And every time you turn a corner, there is a flat buffer section, and then you go up the stairs, which can be said to be extremely energy-saving.
For the second woman and others, it was a surprise, because some mules were carrying heavy cargo and firearms, and the road was not much different from the flat ground, so it was easy to get up.
< p> In about two and a quarter of hours, the two women had walked four or five miles of stone mountain roads. They were always alert to the surrounding situation to prevent anyone from sneaking up or blocking them.Except for pheasants, monkeys, and rabbits. Small animals occasionally barked and appeared, but no one appeared.
Just when the two women relaxed their vigilance, there was another "wuwuwu" cry, and the two women followed the sound and looked towards a tall place. There are two furry little guys lying on the top of the rock.
One of them is the little white fox that Dongfang Ying had seen before, and the other is a little golden-haired little guy. Fox, the two little guys were calling softly towards the two girls.
Mingchuan Rongmei was about to raise her hand to greet the two little foxes, when Dongfang Ying came.But he seemed to hear something unusual. He quickly reined up his horse and shouted in a low voice:
"Don't make any sound, I'm afraid there will be an ambush in front of you."
Mingchuan Rongmei's heart trembled, and she hurriedly She stopped her horse and asked in a playful voice:
"Are there really bandits? What should we do?"
Dongfang Ying looked at the terrain, and the two of them were in the same place. In the canyon, the exit should be right in front. Dongfang Ying could hear at least five or six people lurking on both sides of the exit.
The cliffs on both sides are steep, more than one foot and a half high, and the two of them can jump up with their light skills.
So he said:
"Let's do this. We will still follow the strategy we used in the Maoshan Stone Quarry, attacking from two sides and cooperating with each other."
" I'd better go straight into the palace alone, and you can jump on the stone next to me and help me from above."
Mingchuan Rongmei nodded and said:
"Okay, but the other party. I don’t know who he is, do you want to be cruel?”
Dongfang Ying said:
“Try not to hurt anyone, just knock him down, but if the other party kills you, Then we don't care."
Mingchuan Rongmei agreed, jumped up from the horse, and ran directly up the rock wall on the right, then drew out the long whip from her waist and quietly bullied her. Exit ahead.
Dongfang Ying did not hesitate and patted the horse as if nothing had happened and continued to step forward. The two little foxes above her head barked twice, jumped off the rock and disappeared into the trees.
In a moment, Dongfang Ying was already two feet away from the exit. At this time, there were several loud "swish, swish, swish" sounds, and five or six feather arrows came through the air and went straight to Dongfang Ying.
Dongfang Ying snorted secretly, seeing that the other party was silent and showed no mercy in his actions. He was obviously not a kind person, so no wonder she was ruthless.
He drew out his sword and swept away the incoming arrow shaft with a stroke of his hand. Then he jumped up and shot straight forward like a sharp arrow.
"Pa, pa, pa," the bowstring vibrated a few more times, and a row of arrows shot through the air again.
The tip of Dongfang Ying's sword trembled, creating a circle of sword curtains, smashing the row of arrows into pieces. Its momentum continued unabated, and it rushed through the intersection surrounded by two stone pillars.
"Whoosh!" There were two sounds of wind, and two machetes struck down from the left and right.
Dongfang Ying turned her long sword, kicked her right foot on the stone pillar, and turned her body half a circle. There were two crisp sounds of "dang-dang", and the two machetes broke in response.
Dongfang Ying stood still and took a closer look. She saw six big men lurking on both sides of the intersection. They were dressed in black clothes with buttoned-up clothes, their faces were full of flesh, and they were holding steel knives in their hands, staring at them fiercely. Dongfang Ying.
The two big men in front whose blades were cut off by Dongfang Ying opened their mouths and shouted:
"Who are you? How dare you come and trespass into our Zhanlu Mountain!"
"HeavenIf you don't take the road that is in the hall, you will have to throw yourself into hell without any door. It seems that you are tired of living, right? ”
