Chapter 12 Twelve, Immortal Fairy
The majestic Kunlun stretches for thousands of miles, and thousands of peaks are like prehistoric monsters with different expressions, silently lying under the blue sky and white clouds, forming a series of landscape and Chinese paintings that never repeat.Being in such a stretch of mountains without ends, Bu Tiange's first feeling was grandeur, and the second feeling was fear.Looking as far as the eye can see, not to mention human traces, even animal traces are hard to see.He suddenly felt like an insignificant creature abandoned by the gods. Apart from loneliness, he was helpless and bewildered.
"I really should find a good guide!" Looking at the endless mountains, Leng Xin'er couldn't help feeling a little regretful.In order to save a little money, he and Bu Tiange planned to go to the last station in Kunlun Mountains before hiring a guide. This would save a lot of money, but walking on this winding road completely covered by weeds, the two They all doubted whether they could still walk to the most remote Feiyingdu station in Kunlun Mountains.
It's a pity that there is no psychic dog in hand, Bu Tiange thought with some regret.If there is a psychic dog, it is naturally the best guide. It will follow the human breath intelligently, so as to ensure that it will not get lost.It's a pity that with the help of the psychic dog to track Zhu'er and Hui Niang's breath to a river, they lost their track. Presumably they were traveling along the river by boat, and the psychic dog couldn't track them any longer, so I had to take it It was returned to He Tiexin.
"Look, that eagle!" Leng Xin'er suddenly pointed at the sky and called out. Bu Tiange looked up and saw a lone eagle soaring in midair under the white clouds, but the strange thing was that it didn't hover leisurely , but kept rolling and struggling in the air, as if fighting some invisible monster. After a while, it fell straight from the air and fell into the grass not far in front.Curious, the two hurried over to have a look, only to see that huge eagle was foaming at the mouth, lying on the ground twitching and trembling, as if it was struggling for death.A closer look at its whole body did not reveal any scars.
"It's really strange. What's the matter with this eagle? It's like a goat's epilepsy, and it's like it's swinging. It's shaking all over." Leng Xiner looked carefully at this strange eagle, but saw it twitching. After a long while, it suddenly fluttered its wings and struggled to fly again, staggered over a mountain, and gradually disappeared behind that mountain.Bu Tiange and Leng Xiner looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that all this was full of weirdness and weirdness.
The two chatted all the way, so they didn't feel that the mountain road was long.At dusk, the two finally saw the Feiyingdu post station hidden in the mountains. This is the most remote post station set up by the government in the Kunlun Mountains.When the two saw the dilapidated and ruined inn, they couldn't help cheering, and both quickened their pace.
It's the turn of summer and autumn, but it's still cold in the mountainous area. When Leng Xin'er opened the door curtain of the inn and broke in, she also brought a cold current in, which immediately attracted a few big men to curse in a low voice.Bu Tiange ignored their swearing, but looked at the situation in the inn with some surprise, and saw a dozen men taking a rest in the inn, many of them were acquaintances whom he had met before.
A thin old monk on the right was looking at the two people who came in coldly. A nine-foot-long Zen staff was leaning against the wall behind him. Fang Xin, the head seat of the Shaolin Arhat Hall who fought 108 rounds with Bu Tiange at Taibai Building in Hangzhou more than a year ago; the son on the left of him is still shaking his folding fan in this cold season, and he is actually the second son of the Su family Su Yiquan; beside him, the young man in brocade clothes who vaguely resembles him, without asking Bu Tiange, can guess that it must be his elder brother Su Yixian; the middle-aged scholar with an elegant expression on the right side of Fang Xin is actually a More than a year ago, Su Xiyun was defeated by the sword of the elder Tianji of the Xingyue Sect; Bu Tiange had seen some of the men sitting around him, and they were all well-known figures in the famous martial arts sect, like Zhong Yuan. Lei Meng from Thunder Martial Hall and Rui Moutong, the number two member of the Rui Mu Family, were also there.Bu Tiange was so surprised that he suddenly forgot to say hello to so many famous people in this remote post station.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Bu!" Su Yiquan was the first to greet, but there was obvious hostility in his voice.Bu Tiange looked around at everyone, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't we be here? Is this Kunlun Mountain your home?" Su Yiquan's words were not only hostile, but even provocative.Seeing that Bu Tiange's complexion suddenly sank, Fang Xin hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Bu's benefactor doesn't know something. Gu poison was discovered in the west of Yunnan to kill people. More than 100 people in a village and the whole village's livestock were killed. The Xingyue cult is in Jianghu again. showed up."
"That's right!" Su Yiquan interjected, "If Mr. Dang Bei hadn't hid the reincarnated holy baby of the Xingyue Sect in such a secret place, the Xingyue Sect would not have found it, let alone caused a village to die for it. "
"Mr. Bu came to Kunlun this time, does he still want to protect that monster?" A big man with a purple face asked in a teasing tone.When Bu Tiange heard the word "devil species", a surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at the man. He said coldly: "Whoever mentions the word 'devil species' again, I will make him pay for it." Bloody price!"
Under Bu Tiange's cold gaze, the big man dared not speak again.Su Yiquan on the side said calmly: "We came to Kunlun this time to strangle the reincarnated Moon God of the Xingyue Cult in her infancy, and never allow her to grow up. If you have the heart to protect her, you will fight with the entire Central Plains martial arts. For the enemy!"
Bu Tiange didn't expect these people to be so well-informed that they would go deep into Kunlun Mountains to hunt down a child. He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "If all the martial arts in the Central Plains are like you, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be your enemy."
Everyone's expressions changed a little, the brocade-clothed young man beside Su Yiquan suddenly stood up and stared at Bu Tiange: "Last time when my younger brother was defeated by your cicada-winged sword, Su became eager to win, if you can learn from Bu Tiange today The world-renowned "soft red letter" is also a blessing, and I hope that Mr. Bu will not disappoint Su."
Seeing Su Yixian's open challenge, Bu Tiange couldn't help laughing, and said proudly: "The eldest son of the Su family is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he has a knife hidden under his sleeve, and he is worthless for killing people. Bu Mou wants to ask for advice!" , the dark red sword body flickered in Bu Tian's singer, and the murderous aura suddenly permeated the station.
The faces of the people around couldn't help but dignified, many of them pulled out their weapons one after another. This was an instinctive reaction under the pressure of murderous aura, and it didn't mean to rely on more to win. Added a bit of danger and variables.
"Don't fight, don't fight!" Someone suddenly rushed between Su Yixian and Bu Tiange who were facing each other, and gestured to the two of them, "How can this small station, Xiaguan, withstand your tossing? Besides private fighting, you still have eyes for it." No king's law? Is there any official?"
Everyone laughed dumbfounded when they heard the words, and then remembered that there was another representative of the government here——Yi Cheng of Feiyingdu Post Station.The postman didn't know how many years he had been at this remote Feiyingdu post station, his shabby official uniform had long lost its original color, and his person was also like a forgotten tattered robe, old and worn out, No one would notice his existence unless he spoke.But since he opened his mouth, everyone did not give him face. After all, they are all righteous people with families and businesses. Without sufficient reasons, everyone usually does not have direct conflicts with officials.
"You are going into the mountain tomorrow, why don't you go to worship the mountain god first?" The postman saw that everyone put away their weapons, and he still asked reluctantly. There was only one dumb guy in the post station on weekdays, and he seldom saw him. Passing so many people, he seemed both excited and chattering.Surrounded by so many opponents, Leng Xin'er was already worried about Bu Tiange's safety, so upon hearing this, she hurriedly smiled at the Yi Cheng, "Where is the Goddess of the Mountain God? yes."
The wrinkles on Yi Cheng's old face immediately stretched out, and he couldn't help but patted Leng Xin'er on the shoulder: "The young man respects the old man and respects the gods, and will definitely be blessed by the mountain god, come with me!"
Leng Xin'er hurriedly started Tian Ge and left. He could take the opportunity of worshiping some mountain god to temporarily escape the threat of many martial arts figures. Of course, he would seize this opportunity.Following the postman to the mountain temple behind the post station, I saw that this small mountain temple was very delicately built and cleaned, not like a barren mountain temple at all.Seeing that Bu Tiange and Bu Tiange both had strange expressions on their faces, Yicheng explained with a smile: "Every hunter who enters the deep mountain must first come here to worship the mountain god, so the temple is full of incense. The officials often make the dumb children clean up from time to time, so they don't dare to be lazy."
The two entered the gate of the temple with Yicheng, and saw that the small temple was half embedded in the mountain wall, and the shrine in the middle was completely embedded in a cave. On the shrine was a standing statue of a woman as tall as a person, holding a huge unknown The flowers, with wonderful eyes and half-closed smiles, are very expressive.Bu Tiange stared fixedly at the lifelike stone statue, and was very surprised that this statue was neither as ethereal and holy as a fairy, nor as dignified and graceful as an ordinary woman.
"Strange," Leng Xin'er looked at the statue again and again, "Why does this goddess of the mountain look like a real one? I have only heard of the father-in-law of the mountain god before, and this is the first time I have seen such a young and beautiful goddess of the mountain god. Could it be that Kunlun Mountain Are the mountain gods different from other places?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yicheng hurriedly scolded, "If you offend the gods of the empress, you will be punished, so hurry up and kowtow to the empress to make amends!"
"Should be! This mountain goddess is so beautiful, even if we kowtow ten or eight heads to her, that would be our blessing." Leng Xiner really knelt down on the futon and kowtowed a few times with a smile.The Yicheng was very happy, patted Leng Xiner on the shoulder and praised repeatedly: "Young people respect the mountain god empress so much, the empress will definitely bless you!"
After Leng Xin'er finished offering the incense and kowtowed, the two returned to the station under the leadership of Yi Cheng. On the way, Bu Tiange took the opportunity to ask Yi Cheng: "Old man, I wonder if I can find a guide here?"
"My lord! My surname is Tong, you should be called Master Tong." Yicheng gave Bu Tiange a white look with his chest raised and belly protruding, and then continued, "Every once in a while, there will always be mountain people going to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt. , You have to wait for ten and a half months, and you will always be able to wait for the guide."
"Ten and a half months?" Bu Tiange and Leng Xiner looked at each other, and they both saw endless disappointment in each other's eyes.With their current mood, how could they have the patience to wait so long?During the conversation, the three of them had already returned to the post station, but they found that there was no one in the post station except for the dumb man who was boiling water.After questioning the dumb guy for a while, watching him "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" for a long time, I realized that Fang Xin and his party had already entered the mountain overnight.Probably because he didn't want to go with Bu Tiange, or he wanted to find Zhu'er before him.Bu Tiange was worried about Zhu'er's safety, so he hurriedly asked the "Master Tong" about the mountain road to Fairy Peak where Xingyue Valley is located, and the two started to go deep into the mountain regardless of rest.
Not long after they left, the old Yicheng came to the mountain temple again, stared at the statue for a long time, then jumped onto the shrine and activated a mechanism inside the shrine.Hearing the sound of "Kaka", the statue slowly moved aside, revealing the uncut cave behind it, and Yi Cheng nimbly drilled in, and after a while, the statue was heard by the "Kaka" sound of the machine spring. Slowly it returned to its original state.
"Tell me, does that goddess of the mountain look like a fairy?" Although she was far away from the station, Leng Xiner couldn't stop looking back.Bu Tiange snorted unhappily: "Fairy? If there are such seductive fairies in the world, even the gods don't need to practice."
"I really don't know who has such skillful hands and can create such a lifelike statue that makes people doubt it is real, but where in the world can I find such a peerless and beautiful woman?" Leng Xiner's eyes were full of yearning.
Bu Tiange looked at the increasingly hazy mountains in front of him, and couldn't help but stop: "It's getting late, let's stay here overnight and then go on the road. It seems that we can't catch up with Shangxin and them tonight."
The two set up a bonfire in the forest, and not long after lying down, they heard faint shouts and fighting sounds from the other side of the mountain depression, and then heard bursts of howling wolves, and the howling of wolves one after another was especially sad in the silent night.The two of them were about to go over to see what happened, but found that there were pairs of faint blue lights flickering in the dark mountain forest, and at the same time they heard the heavy panting of "huchihuchi". I found myself surrounded by those graceful shadows.
"It's a pack of wolves!" Bu Tiange could only feel bitterness in his mouth. When you encounter wolves in such a barren mountain, no matter how good your martial arts are, you may not be able to escape the pursuit of the wolves. The wolves are the ones in this deep mountain overlord.
"What should I do?" Leng Xin'er's face turned pale, but she was not panicked. After more than a year's career as a headhunter, he had already become strong.Bu Tiange calmly looked at the pack of wolves that were lingering several feet away, and had no way of getting out. He could only add dry wood and dead branches to the campfire to keep the pack of wolves from getting too close.
The pack of wolves were sitting or standing a few feet away. At first glance, there were as many as a hundred. The two headhunters looked at the green eyes of the pack of wolves, which were shining with greed and fierceness, and the wolves with their long fangs bared. Kiss, for the first time found himself a prey.
"Damn it! If you don't shoot a few of them, these beasts think we are easy to bully!" Leng Xiner finally couldn't stand being looked at by the pack of wolves as prey. She pulled the crossbow and shot an arrow, and an old wolf with gray fur was immediately caught by the wolf. The crossbow shot straight through, rolled and fell far away.The crossbow accurately passed through the old wolf's throat. It seems that Leng Xin'er has put a lot of effort into this crossbow for more than a year.
The wolves hurried back into the forest, hiding in the bushes and grass, coveting the two of them.Seeing this, Bu Tiange sighed softly: "It's useless, wolves are very cunning and patient animals, they know how to protect themselves, besides, there are so many evil wolves, even if we shoot all the crossbow arrows, we can't get rid of them all." We can only try to get rid of the wolves after dawn."
Just when the two were relaxing, the pack of wolves suddenly launched a round of attack. A dozen bold male wolves overcame the fear of the fire and rushed towards Bu Tiange and Leng Xin'er silently. Suddenly, the crossbow was useless, and the two hurriedly drew their swords to meet them. Who knew that the dozen or so wolves were so fierce that Bu Tiange killed several of them without retreating. Fortunately, Leng Xiner picked up a burning branch Only then did the wolves be forced back, temporarily blocking the attack of the wolves.
Suddenly, in the middle of the night, it began to drizzle lightly, and the two couldn't help screaming "miserably".Watching helplessly as the bonfire was gradually doused by the rain, there was nothing we could do.Before the bonfire was completely extinguished, the wolves swarmed up, biting and killing the two of them one after another, and a human-wolf war began in the barren mountains and ridges.
Bu Tiange assassinated four or five evil wolves in a row, while paying attention to Leng Xiner's safety.I saw that Leng Xin'er's short knife was ruthless and accurate. Although the knife technique was not very subtle, the ruthlessness of the strike made up for the lack of knife technique, and he killed two evil wolves in a blink of an eye.The two retreated while fighting, but they saw more and more wolves around them, fighting fiercely and fearlessly, gradually forcing them to the edge of a cliff.Looking at the bottomless valley and the pack of wolves chasing after them, the two smiled wryly at each other. Unexpectedly, they would be buried in the belly of the wolves before they approached the Fairy Peak Xingyue Valley where the Xingyue Sect is located. up.
"Let's jump off the cliff, I don't want to be buried in the belly of a wolf!" Leng Xiner's body was already covered in blood, and after the fierce battle all the way, he was already bruised and scarred. Without Bu Tiange's support, he could hardly stand up.Facing the invincible pack of wolves behind him, Bu Tiange almost lost his confidence. Looking at the bottomless cliff valley, he couldn't help sighing softly: "Are we really going to be forced to death here by these beasts?"
Just when the two of them were developing their will to die, they suddenly heard the sound of horn horns "Woo-woo" from a distance, echoing melodiously in the mountains, there was an indescribably strange and erratic.What's even more surprising is that when the wolves heard the sound of the horn, they all crawled and fell to the ground, making an unwilling "whoosh" sound from their mouths, and some even fell to the ground, foaming from their mouths, covered with Twitching.The wolves all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound of the horn, leaving behind two prey that were right in front of them.
The sound of the horn is getting closer and closer, and two young women in light gauze slowly turn out from the side of the mountain. The women's white clothes are like snow, and there is an indescribable feeling of floating in the dust under the hazy moonlight, which makes people feel Suspected to be a fairy.The second daughter blew the horn, held a long whip, and walked slowly from the pack of wolves, as if strolling in the yard, all the wolves bowed down and did not dare to move.Occasionally, if one or two wolves raised their heads irregularly, they would take a blow from the woman holding the whip.I saw that with a flick of her wrist, the long whip would accurately hit a certain ferocious wolf without missing a beat.
Bu Tiange and the two of them stared blankly at the two graceful women in white clothes who walked through the pack of wolves and came to them. They saw that the two looked somewhat similar, and they both had a kind of beauty that could not eat the fireworks in the world. There is also a hazy beauty.The two came to Bu Tiange and Leng Xin'er, bowed to each other, and the woman who had blown the trumpet opened her lips lightly and said, "Mr. Bu, Mr. Leng, my master wants to see you two, please come with me!"
"You know us?" Bu Tiange was a little surprised, "Who is your master?"
The woman smiled slightly: "You will know after meeting my master."
Saying that she had turned around to lead the way, the woman holding the whip shook her long whip, and precisely hit the wolves blocking the way, and the wolves fled to both sides in a hurry, howling unwillingly, letting them A passage more than ten feet wide emerged.Bu Tiange was even more surprised when he saw this. Although there are beast trainers among the people who tame wild beasts, they only dare to approach after the beasts are locked in a cage and slowly worn out of their wildness.These vicious wolves in front of me are obviously full of wildness, but they are subdued by a young woman's long whip, more obedient than a dog, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.
"Let's go and meet their masters, at least someone saved us from the wolf's kiss, there must be no malice!" Seeing that Bu Tiange was hesitating, Leng Xiner urged in a low voice.Bu Tiange thought so, and helped Leng Xin'er to walk slowly behind the woman blowing the horn.The woman with the whip followed behind the two of them. Apart from using the long whip to punish the occasional one or two restless wolves, she also sprinkled some black things behind her. Immediately behind them came the roars of wolves grabbing food and fighting. Roaring is even crazier than besieging Bu Tiange and the others just now.
"It's strange, this woman's martial arts is not very good, why are these evil wolves so obedient to them? You must know that these are all wild wolves!" Bu Tiange murmured to himself.Leng Xiner smiled and said: "Look at their pure and refined appearance, they must be fairies, maybe they are the maids in front of the Goddess of the Mountain, so all the beasts in the mountains must obey their discipline."
"Fairy?" Bu Tiange snorted coldly, he didn't believe in all the strange powers, but there was no better explanation for the situation in front of him, so he snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
