Chapter 14 Chapter 4 Straight up the cliff to lose track of the past

Shangguanhong said: "What are you talking about?" Guo Ao looked at the distant sky and said leisurely: "Qingtian Village is not far from Juludu." Shangguan Hong said: "So what? Qingtian Village is still Qingtian Village, Juludu is still Juludu, the bodyguard car is robbed or robbed, we deserve to die or not! Just like Ludu, don't you blame us?" Guo Ao said: "Qingtianzhai is different from Juludu, but I can make them the same." Shangguanhong sneered and said, "I don't know when you became a fool, and you can move mountains?" Guo Ao said, "Mountains cannot be moved, but things on mountains can be moved!"

Shangguan Hong understood a little bit, and her eyes flickered: "How to move?" Guo Ao said: "They robbed the bodyguard chariot, and they must transport it to Qingtian Village. Anyway, Qingtian Village is not far from Juludu. Why don't we wait for the bodyguard chariot to arrive at Qingtian Village before taking it back?" Shangguan's red eyes lit up: "Then the big trouble of the two million taels of silver is not ours, but theirs!" Guo Ao nodded and said: "You can treat them as our hired escorts, and just help us deal with the thieves along the way." Shangguan Hong smiled and said: "It's just that when we get to the ground, we can't avoid rewarding them one by one."

Guo Ao said with a smile: "Then each of them will reward them with a sword!" Shangguanhong hesitated and said: "What if they have other schemes or ambushes some high-level people, and we can't get it back, what should we do?" If you keep the bodyguard car, why not give it to them?" Shangguanhong finally nodded, and sighed: "Now that things have happened, I can only trust Uncle Guo's magic sword!" At that moment, the two of them sent back their hands and chased forward.Guo Ao intends to send Shangguan Hong back, but she refuses to do so.Guo Ao had no choice but to take her along on the journey.Fortunately, although this little girl's lightness kung fu is not very good, it's not bad either, and her body is much lighter.It didn't take much effort for Guo Ao to put her on his shoulders and spread out his figure.

The escort chariot moved slowly, and the two of them ran for a quarter of an hour before catching up.The robbers in Qingtianzhai were really arrogant. A group of twenty or thirty people was driving two million taels of silver without any worries. That Tang Fan was even more majestic, and everyone couldn't help making loud noises when they mentioned that he tricked Guo Ao back with a cannon in red.Tang Fan showed a smile on his face, and rode forward slowly on the horse, but he was very proud in his heart-what kind of sword god and sword fairy, wouldn't he become a coward when he met someone from the Tang Sect?

The dart carts were rolling, although they were moving slowly, they did not stop for a moment.The flag on the bodyguard car had been replaced by the big flag of Qingtianzhai, which was fluttering in the wind, which looked even more majestic than the flag of the Shenwei Bodyguard Bureau. They were hungry after walking, so they took out some dry food and ate it right away.Guo Ao didn't dare to stop, so he also took some dry food to share with Shangguanhong.The two followed in hiding in the woods. Although they were not discovered by the group, the mosquito bites were quite unbearable.Shangguanhong was very sensible and didn't complain at all. When she was hungry, she took the dry food handed over by Guo Ao and ate it silently.

After walking like this for two days, the terrain gradually became steeper.But all the way was peaceful, and no thieves dared to come out to rob.It seems that this Qingtian Village is firmly seated at the top of the underworld in Central Sichuan, as long as they plant their banners, they can pass without worry.However, with people like Yuan Du and Tang Fan in the village, how could they not sit in the top positions?This Guo Ao was not surprised. In fact, this was one of the reasons why he resolutely handed over the escort car to them. In the arena, it's not just about strength, prestige is also extremely important.

He suddenly heard Tang Fan shout: "Here we are!" Guo Ao couldn't help being startled. When he looked up, he saw a mountain peak soaring into the clouds. the door.It can be vaguely seen that there is a large flag flying at the gate of the village, with three big characters "Qingtian Village" written on it. Tang Fan and his party breathed a sigh of relief, talked and laughed, and drove the escort car along the mountain road.This mountain road is different from the flat land, they walked extremely slowly.Guo Ao stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the mountain. It was really steep and steep. There were many strange rocks on the mountain, and there were very few vegetation. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Guo Ao turned around and said to Shangguanhong: "You wait here, I'll go up and check." Shangguanhong shouted: "You want to leave me alone again!" Guo Ao smiled and said: "How could I do this? It's just that there are very few shelters on this mountain. If I take you with me, I'm afraid they will find out. And this doesn't matter whether it's murder or murder. You're a little girl, so you don't need to see it." Although Shangguan Hong is aggressive and loves to move, she can't help but shudder when she hears the word "murder".Hesitantly said: "Then...then you should come back earlier." Guo Ao smiled at her, signaling her to rest assured.He took her up to a big tree, found a thick branch to put her down, and found several other branches to set up, one to prevent her from falling, and the other to cover her figure so that it would not be easy to be caught. People found out, and then left quickly.

His figure unfolded, moving secretly among the rocks, he was really as nimble and concealed as a fox and a rabbit.Going up to the middle of the mountain, I saw the bandits on guard on the mountain village greeting each other and walking together to the Juyi Hall in the village, as if they were gathered to watch the harvest of this trip.Guo Ao secretly thought it was a fluke, and took advantage of the shadow of the rocks to launch the "eight steps to catch the cicada", pulled it up vertically, walked eight steps obliquely in the air, and had already bypassed a precipitous ravine.He used lightness kung fu in a row, and after a while, he arrived near the cottage.

Hearing a sudden burst of cheers in the Shanzhai Juyi Hall, Guo Ao's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly lowered his head.I heard a strong voice say: "Master Tang and everyone have worked hard. Please don't make noise, the money will be distributed to the brothers after all." Everyone agreed suddenly, and there was no more sound. Guo Ao was secretly surprised.Because he traveled all the way, he found that there are very few shelters around the village, and from the top of the village, the mountains and the mountains are almost unobstructed. It can be seen that the person who designed the village must have a lot of hills and valleys in his heart.After listening to this person's words, the Juyi Hall suddenly became quiet, thinking that Qingtian Village must be strictly controlled.All income is distributed equally to brothers, no public property is set, and it is the way to put an end to corruption.With these three items, it is no wonder that Qingtianzhai can secure the top spot in the underworld.

Guo Ao didn't dare to be careless at the moment, so he found a hidden place, sat down slowly, and meditated on the profound arts silently.His martial arts are extremely peculiar, his eyes and ears suddenly become extremely sharp when his inner strength is released, he can only hear the breathing of dozens of people in the gathering hall.Guo Ao didn't want to scare the snakes, he mobilized his internal energy and listened carefully to what they had to say. That majestic voice said: "Today we took two million taels of silver as the foundation of Qingtian Village. From then on, we will recruit troops and buy horses, so we don't have to fear the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers anymore." Tang Fan's sharp voice sounded: "The chief village master is amazingly resourceful, and his subordinates acted according to the plan. Sure enough, Guo Ao was tricked, and obediently handed over the escort car. The village master is really wise." The village master laughed out loud, very pleased: "How could Guo Ao have doubts if Brother Tang and all the brothers hadn't gone there? If he hadn't doubts, how could our plan have succeeded?" Tang Fan said: "In fact, there is no need for these strategies. As long as the chief village master comes in person, Guo Ao may not be able to stop the village master's three moves and two moves even though he is known as the Excalibur!" Guo Ao was secretly startled.Tang Fan's martial arts are not low, and his knowledge is of course higher than martial arts, otherwise Guo Ao would not be fooled.But at the moment he said so, if he didn't deliberately flatter the horse and slip his beard, I'm afraid the martial arts of the chief village master are really unbelievably high!Although Tang Fan was hateful, he didn't think he was a sycophant.It's just that if one person's martial arts has reached this level, how can he occupy the mountain as king and make such a living?One must know that martial arts learners cherish their feathers the most, and attach great importance to reputation, and most of them disdain such green forest activities.And who can claim or claim to be the sword of the sword god?Guo Ao thought about all the contemporary masters, but none of them matched this person! But the village master laughed and said: "Brother Tang praised me too much. Guo Ao's martial arts is not low. If I want to win him, I'm afraid I have to do more than fifty strokes!" Guo Ao's heart was even more dignified.After listening to them complimenting each other, they began to distribute the silver taels.First distribute what is needed in the stronghold, and then send 500,000 taels to buy weapons, 500,000 taels to buy horses, 500,000 taels to recruit people for use, and the remaining 500,000 taels to be distributed among the brothers according to their seniority and position.After being busy for more than half an hour, I was just busy.Guo Ao was even more impressed.It's just because people are really talents, and the distribution of money is extremely fair, and the whole village is convinced by all the guests. You have to know that if you give money to others, others may not be grateful to you. This is really a lot of knowledge. Guo Ao couldn't ask himself, so he worked slowly at the moment, and prepared to wait for them to allocate money and the bandits dispersed, and then attack one by one. Suddenly, there was a scream in Juyi Hall, and all the noises fell silent.The mighty mountain wind blew past, and all the people in the village seemed to disappear without a sound! This silence seemed to imply great power, and Guo Ao's heart was shocked.He knew that something extremely important had happened, so he couldn't help jumping up and entering through the window!But seeing the empty space in the Juyi hall, where is there any bandit leader?There was only one person lying on the bluestone floor, but his body was already stiff.The man's complexion was pale green, thick black blood flowed out from his seven orifices, there was a glass of wine beside him, the glass had been knocked down, and the remaining juice flowed to the floor, a puff of green smoke came out, obviously he died of poisoning.In the corner of the hall were the six escort carts, but there was nothing left. Guo Ao's palms could not help but break out in cold sweat.He is extremely confident in his kung fu, there are dozens of people in the hall just now, this is absolutely unmistakable, if there is one person who can walk out of the hall without being noticed by him, then he doesn't need to be called a sword god.But suddenly, everyone disappeared.Could it be that the person with the majestic voice turned out to be a mountain spirit and wood charm, who used magic to transform these people away together with the money?Guo Ao couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this. Suddenly, the window sill slammed, and Guo Ao made a move like the wind. When he opened the window and looked out, he saw a few monkeys standing on the edge of the cliff outside the Juyi Hall, holding stones in their hands, and threw them at the Juyi Hall .When the monkeys saw Guo Ao, they all grinned their teeth and howled "woo hoo", as if they were teasing Guo Ao for being smart. Guo Ao couldn't help smiling wryly.Two million taels of silver is not a small number, and dozens of people are also a large group. How could they all suddenly disappear?If he heard someone say that, he would laugh out loud that that person has gone to hell.But when this thing really happened to me, I can't explain it with a sentence of hell! At that moment, Guo Ao started his lightness kung fu and searched Qingtian Village, but he didn't find anyone again.There are still uncooked meals in the kitchen, and the quilts in some rooms have not been folded. A jar of wine in the cellar has just been half drunk, but there is no one in sight. Are there really ghosts and gods in the world?Guo Ao stood there in a daze for a long time, he just stomped his feet and walked down the mountain. The big flag of Qingtian Village fluttered in the wind, as if a mandrill waved goodbye to him. Shangguan Hong was still waiting for him on the tree, but she had already fallen asleep. After two days of hard work, the child could no longer bear it.But she was afraid of affecting Guo Ao, so she never cried out.It's just the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, why should she bear it?She was only a child! Looking at her sweet smile in her sleep, Guo Ao felt bitter in his mouth.What will he use to answer this child, and how will he repay this child's trust? Shangguan Hong woke up rubbing her eyes.As soon as she saw Guo Ao, she said happily, "Has our bodyguard returned?" Guo Ao looked at her hopeful eyes, and his heart sank even lower.He really couldn't bear to disappoint these eyes, but he could only shake his head.The look in Shangguan's red eyes suddenly dimmed.She gave a soft "oh" and said, "Something must have happened, right?" If she got angry and scolded, Guo Ao might feel better, but if she behaved so understandingly, Guo Ao would only feel more uncomfortable.Now he told Shangguanhong what he had seen and heard in Qingtianzhai. Shangguanhong listened without saying a word, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed from his eyes: "Uncle Guo, are we going to be unable to catch up with the dart silver? Isn't it?" Guo Ao couldn't help his nose sore, he really wanted to say no , but today's facts are weird, and there is no clue. Seeing his appearance, Shangguanhong also knew that there was no hope, she murmured: "Could it be that these people were transformed by monsters and suddenly got underground?" Guo Ao's eyes lit up, he suddenly grabbed Shangguanhong's hand, and said: "There is another way!" Before he could elaborate, he picked up Shangguanhong and rushed towards the village!Shangguanhong was infected by him, and couldn't help but feel happy. The Gathering Hall was still empty, but the person who was poisoned to death had already started to rot and stink.The toxicity of this poisonous wine was extremely violent, and within a short quarter of an hour, the bones of the man had already been dissolved and gradually melted down. Shangguan Hong couldn't help covering her nose.Guo Ao bent down, picked up a stone thrown by the monkey, and hit the stone floor.When he hit the seventeenth piece, the stone slab echoed "empty"!A smile appeared on Guo Ao's face.His palms searched for the edge of the stone slab, slowly prying it up.The stone slabs of the Juyi Hall are very thick, and there is no caulking between the slabs, and it is not difficult to pry them.After Guo Ao shook it for a long time, the stone slab rose slowly and was pulled up by his palm. The stone slab was lifted, revealing a dark hole immediately below.Guo Ao was overjoyed, and when he looked inside, a black arrow shot over without a sound!If the black arrow was shot right after the slab was lifted, it would not be able to hurt Guo Ao, but it took a pause before shooting, the person who uncovered the stone must have lost his mind, and few people could dodge it!Guo Ao still held the stone slab in his hand, and rested his other hand on the floor. He could no longer dodge or draw his sword! At the critical moment, Guo Ao suddenly let go, and the lifted stone slab fell down, just in time to block the arrow!This change seems simple, but if Guo Ao's reaction was a little slower, he might be the same as the man who fell on the floor. The arrowhead was black and shiny, it was evident that it had been impregnated with poison, as long as it was even slightly stained, it would be irreversible.When the mountain wind blew, Guo Ao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He shot again and slowly lifted the slate, but he didn't dare to look down immediately.After waiting for a long time, no poisonous arrow shot out from the hole.Guo Ao exerted enough strength to guard against sudden changes, and just now he poked his head to take a look.Seeing this, he couldn't help but be extremely disappointed.The hole is only three feet, and there is an exquisitely designed mechanism in it. There is nothing else, but how can people hide silver? Seeing the color change on Guo Ao's face, Shangguan Hong couldn't help looking.She didn't have Guo Ao's self-cultivation, so she just sat down on the ground with a sad face. Guo Ao just stared at the entrance of the cave, as if he wanted to see some tricks.Looking at him, Shangguan Hong couldn't help feeling angry, and shouted: "What else are you looking at? Could it be that you can see the escort car back by just looking at it?" Guo Ao said in a deep voice: "Although the bodyguard chariot can't be seen, it can see other things." Shangguan Hong said: "I can see other things, I just want the bodyguard chariot!" Guo Ao said: "As long as you can see other things, you are afraid that there will be no escort carts? Have you ever thought about why they installed this trap on the floor? Do they know that we are going to dig the floor?" Shangguan Hong was stunned, Guo Ao continued: "What do they want to cover up?" Shangguan Hong carefully chewed his meaning, and said, "You mean, there are other holes under this floor?" Guo Ao smiled and said: "Anyway, there are no other clues now, why don't we continue to explore?" He ignored Shangguanhong, picked up the stone just now, and knocked against the stone slab. Sure enough, not long after knocking, there was an "empty" echo from under another stone slab.Shangguan Hong's spirit became excited, and she couldn't help jumping over.Guo Ao's face was as calm as usual, and he slowly moved the stone slab away along the gap. After waiting for a while, another black arrow shot upwards. Shangguan Hong sighed in disappointment, and when she poked her head to look, it turned out that the trap was also extremely shallow and could not hide people.Guo Ao continued to pick up stones and beat them as he expected.When they found the fifth trap, finally no more black arrows were shot out. When the two of them looked at it, the opening of the hole stretched out obliquely, and they couldn't see to the end.Shangguanhong couldn't help cheering. Guo Ao's expression was more serious, and he said: "You stay here, I'll go check it out." Shangguan Hong shouted, "Don't try to keep me this time, I must go with you!" Guo Ao said: "But this cave is deep and unpredictable, I'm afraid there is some mechanism in the middle." Shangguan Hong shouted: "I'm not afraid! Anyway, I can't find the darts and silver, and I am going to die. I would rather die in this cave!" Guo Ao sighed, picked her up, and went into the hole. ——The hole was not very wide, and the stench of the soil was pungent and extremely unpleasant.After walking for a while, it was dark in front of me, and I could hardly see anything.The underground air is even scarcer, and it is gradually difficult to breathe.Shangguanhong hugged Guo Ao's neck and said nothing. Guo Ao touched the wall and sneaked forward, but there was no sound.Both of them were afraid of some enemy hiding in the dark, even the sound of breathing was kept down as much as possible, fearing that the enemy would strike first.It seems that there are thousands of monsters dancing wildly in the darkness, wanting to choose people and devour them.Guo Ao was on guard secretly, using his profound skills secretly, and his sword energy stretched and stretched, wanting to kill the enemy at the first time.Unexpectedly, along the way, there are not even half of the enemy. After walking for a while, there was a faint candlelight in front of him.Guo Ao was full of energy, and ran towards the candlelight with Shangguanhong in his arms.Although he quickened his pace, he didn't dare to be careless at all. His footsteps were light, and his body didn't touch the wall or any objects around him at all, so as to avoid being plotted against. The candle became brighter and brighter, and Guo Ao felt that the space around him was getting wider and wider.When he got closer, Guo Ao suddenly found that the place illuminated by the candlelight was a big hole, and the silver light in the hole was shining, and all the ingots were piled up.The silver color is reflected by the candlelight, and the precious light flows, making it even more attractive in this underground cave. Shangguan Hong couldn't help cheering: "Diaoyin!", broke free from Guo Ao's arm, and ran forward.Guo Ao was startled, Shangguan Hong had already rushed to the candlelight, picked up the silver, and couldn't help crying.Pity the heavens, they finally found the dart silver, so they don't have to worry anymore! Guo Ao hurriedly fled for a foot, and also jumped into the cave.As soon as he landed, his feet suddenly went numb, and the ground sank!Guo Ao was startled, his toes were numb, he jumped up with his strength, and rushed towards Shangguanhong. But at this moment, two stone slabs suddenly fell from the tunnels on both sides of the cave, blocking the tunnels!This tunnel was blocked tightly and completely isolated from the outside world. Guo Ao jumped up and hit the stone slab with his palm!The stone slab made a muffled sound, and Guo Ao's face changed - the stone slab remained motionless. Judging from the sound, the stone slab was at least two feet thick!Two feet, no one can split it.When the candlelight dimmed, so did their hearts!
