Chapter 35 Chapter Three

The two abandoned their boat and went ashore and walked along the mountain wall. The color of spring is like moss, and the top and bottom of the mountain wall are full of deep and light green.The sun casts mottled and naughty shadows, which lifts people's mood. Feng Xiaoer's nature is like a breeze in the mountains, even if there is any discomfort, it is only for a while.The two chatted and laughed all the way, you told some stories about the Central Plains, and I told some anecdotes about southern Xinjiang. Feng Xiao'er chirped like a bird all the way, turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, the Lord is right ahead. Brother Su, let's join them soon."

Su Kuang knew that Miao Jiang had a way to control birds and beasts, but when he saw it for the first time, he couldn't help being amazed: "I thought Gongye Chang was just a fabrication, so there really are people who understand bird language." Feng Xiao'er shook her head: "Outsiders always pass on the Gu technique to a miraculous level. In fact, speaking of it, it is nothing more than bringing out the nature of all things to the extreme. For example, the Firefly Flying Gu of the Honorable Lord is magical, but if the firefly itself cannot emit light, it cannot There is no way to fabricate it out of thin air. The same is true for Niaoyu, the signal sent by the Lord can only be received here."

Su Kuang thought for a while, and said, "Then... what's going on with the black moon Gu?" Feng Xiaoer frowned: "It's a long story. There are many kinds of Gu skills. Everyone in Moon Peak practiced Gu, but those who got started were only poisonous Gu, that is to say, using poisonous insects to lay Gu. When it comes to me, my eldest brother and my second brother, the three of us practiced Gu." Illusion Gu. In southern Xinjiang, only the past venerables can practice Illusion Gu. For example, when I practice Sky Eye, I have to instill countless Gu poison in my eyes since I was a child, so that I can kill people with my eyes... But my elder brother said that the past Sky Eye Venerables are all I use the hostility in my heart to guide the poison in my body. I don’t have any hostility, so it’s very common to practice the technique of the sky eye. The elder brother’s wonderful brushwork and the second brother’s divine singing are all the same. It's a clever Gu technique, I can't explain it clearly. Black Moon Gu has always been banned in our religion, and it can only be triggered with strange poison and illusion Gu. Like that night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, everyone's mind was originally Uneasy, someone hid the Gu mother in that painting, so it was passed on to hundreds of thousands, and no one could resist."

Su Kuang asked: "Didn't you just say that only you three venerables can practice illusion Gu? Didn't you mean..." Feng Xiao'er nodded and said: "This is also the reason why Zhongliu firmly insisted that it was the Lord who cast the venom—eldest brother lost his hand three years ago, so it stands to reason that only the Lord, the second brother, and me were the ones who made the poison..." In other words, Jiang Zhongliu had to choose a suspect.He believed in Feng Xiaoer, so naturally he chose Amamangong. Su Kuang asked again: "Do you know what happened to He Hongshan?"

Feng Xiao'er shook her head and said: "That seems to have happened several years ago, only the Lord or Eldest Brother will know—let's go quickly, it's not far away." Su Kuang shook his head: "You still haven't mastered the bird language, they are telling you something, did you hear it?" Feng Xiaoer listened intently, shaking her head blankly. Su Kuang slowly grasped the handle of the knife: "I heard it. They said—there are many people ambushed by the cliffs on both sides, so be careful." There was a sound of strings, and the blood-red arrow shot down at the foot—this was a warning, and he could not move forward.

Feng Xiaoer has already stepped out. Su Kuang felt a slight movement under his feet, and he groaned inwardly, wrapping his left arm around Feng Xiaoer's waist, leaped into the air, and grabbed the branch above his head. The soil under his feet cracked, and the tripping rope jumped out of the ground with the blade twisted.A cold blue light shone on the blade, and a giant net descended from the sky.The birds around were so startled that they flew into the sky, with long bows and big arrows, aiming at the two people in the net. Su Kuang embraced Feng Xiao'er with one arm, curled up and flicked in mid-air, and his toes were already on the two tying ropes.The people holding the rope on both sides shook their wrists, the tripping rope bounced off again, and the blade turned inward.Su Kuang moved his feet, looking for gaps between the countless blue blades.He took a closer look, grabbed the back of the blade with his left foot, and shouted loudly.The tripping rope flipped half a circle, the blade pierced another rope, and the leather rope broke instantly.

Although he was hugging one person, his upper body was as stable as a rock, and only his legs were dancing wildly.Kicking and sweeping, the poisonous blade only spun around at the hem of his trousers, no matter how hard the rope holder tried, he couldn't hurt him, instead several ropes were broken. Qilin dared to draw sparks along the iron cables of the giant net-how big can the "giant net" be?Su Kuang had already reached the edge of the giant net in the blink of an eye—the string that tied the net was still in Jiang Zhongliu's left hand, and he never let it go. Su Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I knew you would always forgive me."

Jiang Zhongliu lowered his head and smiled wryly, loosened his left hand, the mechanism spring was activated, the iron net fell on his head, and countless hidden arrows shot from the ground. Su Kuang was taken aback, raised his knife and flicked away the hidden weapon, and sent Feng Xiao'er with his left arm, almost parallel to the ground, and shot forward with an arrow. But Feng Xiaoer screamed and was pushed back again. Su Kuang's forward momentum could not be stopped, so he had to stab the ground with a single knife, and held Feng Xiao'er in his arms again with his left arm, but there was a pain in his shoulder - Jiang Zhongliu's left leg slanted, and it was hooking on Su Kuang's chest. On the Jianjing point, followed by a palm, and patted his chest.

This palm did not use force, and did not hurt the internal organs at all, but Su Kuang couldn't hold it any longer, his knees softened, and he fell to his knees, and his legs felt a sharp pain - countless small sharp blades on the bridle rope had pierced into the flesh I don't know what kind of poison was applied to the blade, and I can no longer move below the waist. Su Kuang took a breath, put Feng Xiao'er down gently, and said with a sneer, "Good method." Jiang Zhongliu's gaze was full of guilt, and he sighed: "Forget it, look at me as you like. This blade is just an anesthetic. As soon as this matter is over, let Brother Su go back north immediately."

Su Kuang laughed miserably: "If you make friends like this, what more can you ask for?" He picked up a blade with two fingers and stabbed straight at his heart. "Stop!" Jiang Zhongliu turned pale with shock, and reached out to stop him.Although his attack was vicious, he was determined not to hurt Su Kuang's life. Su Kuang flicked his fingers, and the blade went straight to his face.Jiang Zhongliu dodged sideways, Su Kuang's pulse door was locked, half of his body was numb, his feet staggered, and he almost stepped on the stumbling rope - he just realized that this Su Kuang is famously afraid of death, just afraid of death. Everyone in the world will find their own way, but it will not be his turn.It's just that it was too late to regret at this time, Su Kuang shot like the wind, even touched the three acupoints of Quze, Tianquan, and Shenfeng, and pulled out the gallbladder of the unicorn with his hand: "Even—Governor Jiang, please carry me out."

Jiang Zhongliu glared angrily: "What if I don't recite it?" Su Kuang said with a smile: "If you don't recite it, your wife will recite it. Do you think I am a rare and smelly man?" Jiang Zhongliu was in a hurry: "Su Kuang, I am doing it for your own good! Amamangong is just a woman. Is it really worth it for you to treason for her?" Su Kuang was excited all over his body: "Treason, rebellion... treason to the country and surrender to the enemy? Why should I betray the country and surrender to the enemy?" The heavens and the earth, although he has no interest in continuing to be the eagle dog of the imperial court, but as an ordinary and happy Jianghu man, he can Can't it be pushed into the torrent of history without incident? Jiang Zhongliu nodded: "It's true. Master He said that it was a secret order from the imperial court to wipe out the Moon Peak. Brother Su, I beg you, please stay here first." Su Kuang was silent.In fact, if anyone is Jiang Zhongliu, there is no other choice.Country, father's feud, brotherhood, gang... Even he himself was afraid, as if it was just a moment of righteous anger, that's why he wanted to send Xiao'er to see their lord, right?Taking a step back, he didn't even recognize Amamangon. Was it really necessary to make such a big sacrifice for her? While the two were talking, the disciples of the boat gang had already silently surrounded them.They didn't know the situation, and they didn't talk too much, just holding the knife in hand, waiting for orders—Su Kuang suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to pat someone on the shoulder casually, and asked: "About this matter, what are you doing?" What do you think? Everything was just a snap of the fingers, Jiang Zhongliu looked at Su Kuang's face, his eyes began to light up - this person began to struggle.Where there is struggle, there is compromise. It's just... a faint singing voice came from a very far away, and it became clearer in a short while. Obviously, the speed of the people coming was extremely fast.After a while, everyone could hear clearly that the singer had a good voice as clear as a cloud, and what he sang seemed to be an ancient soul-calling song. Feng Xiao'er yelled loudly: "Second brother, stop quickly! The Gu dragon is here, watch out for backlash!" The three hundred soldiers felt a sense of desolation when they heard this voice, they just felt that there is no joy in life and no fear in death, they came all the way to southern Xinjiang, they were just lonely souls in a foreign land.Those who were slightly weak in concentration already shed tears, wishing they could kill themselves with a knife to relieve the distress in their chests. Jiang Zhongliu concentrated for a moment, and asked loudly, "Who is here? But the Venerable Moon Peak God Singer?" As soon as the song was mentioned, it became extremely mournful, like a ghost singing in the autumn tomb, crying at the end of the road. "Sister, don't worry, the divine singing is just in a bad mood. I sang to express my feelings, and I didn't use Gu." The singing suddenly stopped, and a jade-like voice sounded, like a cool breeze passing through the body in the dog days, making people feel unspeakably smooth , "Yue Yuefeng's wonderful pen, by the order of the lord, welcome Su Daxia." Only then did Su Kuang understand why the two came so quickly. The man on the left is thirty-five or sixteen years old, with delicate features and delicate features. He is dressed in white clothes with chisel patterns and a crown with a crown, and he has the air of Qu Zi Xing Yin.Although she is a little older, she is even more elegant.Under the seat is a giant lion with a green mane and golden hair, with gold as the bridle, white jade as the saddle, and a bright pearl on its forehead, shining brightly.On the right is God Singer, with curly hair and deep eyes, dark complexion, naked upper body, a green vine wrapped around his left arm, a machete obliquely inserted in a leopard skin belt, and a big white-fronted tiger sitting on the seat, not on a boat in Dianchi Lake The appearance of a follower. Feng Xiao'er rushed forward, hooked the neck of the man on the left and cried loudly: "Brother—you're here, you're finally here!" Divine Singer looked at Su Kuang with faint hostility: "I told you a long time ago not to deal with Han people, and now I know I regret it?" Feng Xiao'er jumped on Miaobi's lion's back: "Second brother, Han people also have good people, and Brother Su is just that." The man on the left clasped his fists in the manner of the Central Plains and said: "Su Daxia, you sent my little sister all the way here, we brothers are deeply virtuous." Who said that people from southern Xinjiang speak directly?He speaks quite well - hero, it's just right for you to send someone here, so you don't have to worry about the rest, our green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever, and there will be a period later. Su Kuang raised his head, "It was Miss Amamangong who asked the two of you to pick me up? Hard work, hard work." The sneer on God Sing's face was beyond words: "Please——" Jiang Zhongliu didn't mean to stop him. He had seen four-petaled orchids scattered between the claws of the golden lion and white tiger. They bloomed and disappeared immediately, and the crystal-clear pollen fluttered in the air--that was Amamangong's bodyguard. Minglanhua, no one dares to take the lead. Running all the way to the deep west of Yunnan, Cangshan is like a daisy, and spring is as deep as the sea. After passing Dali, the clothes of the Han people gradually decreased.The wound on Su Kuang's leg was almost healed, so he changed into Miao's new clothes and hats, with a beaming face. The giant lion with a long mane is extremely rare, and it looks even more majestic than the king of beasts.Su Kuang was extremely greedy, but no matter how much he urged the horse, the horse would not walk with the lion and tiger. The divine singing riding a white tiger is obviously more liked by the girls than the well-dressed pen.He sang the love songs of various families along the way, which attracted the water girls on the side of the road to stop and watch. From time to time, a bold girl would go to a line, and you would come and go, which aroused everyone's applause.Su Kuang asked Feng Xiaoer what they were singing in a low voice, Feng Xiaoer told him with a smile, Su Kuang couldn't help but blushed first, and thought, if he sang such a song in the Central Plains, he would be accused of being indecent. Gaoligong Mountain is getting closer every day, and the starry sky is also beautiful every night. Amamangon accidentally discovered that this jovial Han boy rarely fell asleep at night, and always sat alone by the fire to watch the night.Often he sat alone for a long, long time, until the fire was reduced to ashes, and the long night was reduced to dawn. It's strange to say that when Su Kuang was on vigil, the girls always slept soundly. It seemed that he was safer than the blue orchids that were everywhere. In such a big river and such a long night, what was he thinking alone? Amamangong finally decided to be straightforward: "What are you thinking?" Su Kuang didn't raise his head: "I'm thinking...you don't wear low-breasted clothes since the Dianchi Lake." Amamangong's face turned red again.Why does this person always say nasty things when he is doing something touching?She sighed: "Su Kuang, I really don't know when I will hear you speak seriously." "Do you really want to hear it?" Su Kuang's eyes flashed, he turned his head and greeted loudly, "Smile——" Feng Xiaoer agreed from a distance: "Huh?" Su Kuang said solemnly: "I think, for the peaceful coexistence of the Miao and Han races, and for the people of southern Xinjiang—" Feng Xiao'er and Shen Sing laughed loudly and interrupted him: "Ha, Su Daxia, you've gone crazy again. Hey, let's be serious!" Su Kuang chuckled: "Okay, change the subject, do you think I'm suitable for your sister?" Feng Xiaoer regained her spirits immediately: "That depends on your performance." The god sang sarcastically: "In front of our lord, there are too many people who are courteous." Even Miao Bi, who had been lying down for a long time, straightened up: "Oh? How did Xiao Su speak the truth today?" The fire light flickered on and off, reflecting on his face, Su Kuang felt a little lonely, and forced a smile, "Here, did you hear that?" Amamangong lowered his head abruptly, only feeling a soreness on the bridge of his nose.It turns out that the whole world is the same—if you have something on your mind and tell it as usual, who would want to act like a madman for the rest of his life? Su Kuang smiled to himself and said, "I respect you as a girl who dares to mend the cracks in the sky with one hand. I want you to understand that not all Han Chinese are people who look forward to the future. If you want peace in the world, I also wish peace in southern Xinjiang and hope for a peaceful life." The power can come in handy, that's all." Speaking of the last four words, there was already a clank in his words. Amamangong carelessly played with the end of the braid, stretched out his finger and flicked a dark orchid flower, which floated to the ground lightly and delicately: "That's all... I still think that you are serious in both words." Su Kuang was dumbfounded, and quickly got up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I made a slip of the tongue, and I offended the lord." Amamangon shook his head with a wry smile, his face was slightly hot, and he muttered in a very low voice: "Fuck you." It's no wonder that Su Kuang's face turned pale with shock, the Gu King's respect is even higher than that of princes and generals.Thinking back when He Hongshan took office as a new official, he felt that he was a great official in the frontier, so he rushed to the Moon Peak carelessly, and before he went up the mountain, he was hit by a strange gu.If King Longzhao hadn't given the medicine, he might have died on the spot.But even so, with the elegance of "Little Zhou Lang", he abruptly became what he is now, and he has really held grudges for many years. "It's just, who made the Gu?" Su Kuang asked curiously. Unexpectedly, all four of them shook their heads: "I don't know. Everyone in Moon Peak knows Gu, and it's the same for anyone." Miaobi sighed: "After that incident, Amamangon ordered not to use Gu to kill innocent people, and those who violated it will be punished with life. This made everyone in Moon Peak fearful, and suffered a great loss many times." Amamangong said with a smile: "Brother, if you think it's not good, let's discuss this rule." Miaobi shook her head: "The lord has grown up long ago, so it's our turn to talk too much." When Su Kuang heard this, he couldn't understand it.With the status and fame of Amamangong, why is he always in awe of Venerable Miaobi?Even the golden lion under his seat gave him away. Chang Lu was idle and had nothing to do, so he found an opportunity to turn to Feng Xiaoer to inquire. Feng Xiao'er looked into the distance—she was only a young girl now, and the events of those years were really far away: "Brother Su, you don't know that there are nineteen elders on Moon Peak, all of whom are patriarchs of various clans or elders with high morals. Sister Although she has always been popular, she has never been favored by the elders. The elders were furious when they got engaged. How can there be any reason for the princess of the Miao family to marry the Han people? And the eldest brother is the youngest among the elders. Against all opinions, she has always been loyal to her sister. Three years ago, the old lord suddenly died of poisoning. According to the rules, whichever prince avenges the Gu king can take over the seat of the Gu king. After drifting for more than a thousand miles, I found the drug maker in a Dai village." It seems that when it comes to the competition for the throne, all ethnic groups in different places are very much the same.Su Kuang vaguely guessed what happened next. Feng Xiao'er's voice softened a lot: "But my sister refused to say which prince was the mastermind behind the scenes. They quarreled and pointed the finger at her—how funny you said, at that time she She has a great reputation. In everyone's mind, she is as sacred as the moon. If she really wants to be a Gu king, how can she be so troublesome? Those elders just hate her for promoting Han people's things and ruining the Miao people's own tradition. Later, her seven The two elder brothers got together and discussed how to get rid of her together. At that time, the elder sister was practicing heart Gu, and the elder brother and the second brother joined forces to fight Gu with them on the top of the Moon Peak for seven days. In the end, both the princes died, and the elder brother's hands were also crippled. Well, two years later, when my sister was 19 years old, even the Dai family sent white elephants and white peacocks, which were mascots that even the emperor of the capital could not see. The elders had no choice but to Admit that Amamangong is the king of Gu. When she took over, the three thousand miles of southern border were so happy that she sent the best gift—the king of Gu is the king shared by all our families. Only you Han people are not happy, and you keep saying There is no congratulations, and I am always on guard against her rebellion. Well, I am pulling away. In short, when I succeeded, my sister gave the golden lion to my elder brother in public. That night the moon was very white and bright, and we sang a lot of songs... It's just a pity , I will never come back at that time..." Su Kuang suddenly felt that this young girl was not as innocent as she seemed... Everyone in Moon Peak was full of thoughts, and everyone seemed to have secrets. Because there are always so many girls who like divine singing, my walking speed slowed down along the way.The crowd didn't urge him, they just listened to him singing from village to village, thinking that when he was young, he had such a scene. Sometimes living in the village, everyone would drink and sing in circles. The god who sang the best was toasted, Su Kuang who sang the worst was fined, and Xiaoer who danced well was given a drink.Amamangong was respected as a god by everyone, and every time he came off the stage, there was thunderous applause. Only Venerable Miaobi sat silently on the side, thinking all day long.Some girls like him to be quiet and steady, and they frequently stuff bamboo wine bowls into his hands, and he never refuses to come, until the glass is dry.The golden-haired lion with a green mane was so proud that no one was allowed to approach it, but the poor white tiger was touched over and over again by the children, and when it got very angry, it roared loudly. Su Kuang and the others were overjoyed. Finally, one day, Feng Xiaoer suddenly said mysteriously - we will arrive at Gaoligong Mountain in two days, and you are the first outsider to go home with us... Go home, what a tempting word... Su Kuang didn't keep watch that day, and fell asleep in the starlight.He slept very deeply, and for a while, he didn't know that he was a guest in his dream.
