Chapter 25 The 25th round of Kunlun Shuangjue

Zhan Mengbai sneered, rushed straight across the archway, and suddenly saw a very slim woman in red wearing flowers walking in front. The flowers are bright red, and the person is also bright red. The mountain wind blows her red shirt and red sleeves, and she seems to be the woman in red in the heavenly palace in the picture. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being surprised, how could there be a young woman here and now? He let go of his big strides and rushed forward, deliberately stepping heavily, but he didn't know that the woman in red didn't seem to notice it, and didn't look back.

She walked extremely slowly, and Zhan Mengbai overtook her in an instant, only to see the woman in red turned her head slightly, Zhan Mengbai still couldn't see her face. He kept in mind Yang Xuan's words: "Don't look back along the way", so although he was full of curiosity.Also barely hold back and never look back. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard an old woman's voice behind her, crying out: "Help me...Young man, please help me..." Zhan Mengbai was startled, all the way up the mountain, he didn't see anyone else except the woman in red, where did this old woman come from?

He couldn't help but turn his head to look, but when he thought about it, he immediately restrained himself: "Don't be another trick to tempt people to turn back, I don't want to be fooled by her." But the wailing for help behind him became more and more urgent and pitiful. Zhan Mengbai felt a rush of blood in his heart, he paused and thought: "No matter what, I, Zhan Mengbai, can't do nothing." After thinking to this point, he finally turned around abruptly, only to see the blue sky and white clouds, empty and silent, and the woman in red had disappeared without a trace.

Zhan Mengbai couldn't help shivering shrewdly, let go and ran a few steps, the old voice of crying for help came from behind him in shock. Zhan Mengbai suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who is it? Where is it?" I only heard the side of the mountain path wailing: "Here...here..." Zhan Mengbai flew away without any hesitation, beside the red flower bushes, facing the precipitous ravine, the woman in red somehow fell down, only her hands were still clinging to the edge of the precipitous ravine, the sand and stones rustled down, falling into the ravine. In the bottomless ravine, as long as she moves again, she will be smashed to pieces.

Zhan Mengbai couldn't help but gasped, stood with his feet nailed among the flowers, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move, I'm here to save you..." Slowly bent down, opened his hands, grabbed the woman's wrist, exhaled loudly, let out a muffled grunt, filled his arms with strength, and lifted her straight up. Seeing a flash of red in front of his eyes, the woman's slim body was lifted up by him, Zhan Mengbai heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Okay..." Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong force pulling him straight forward. He was shocked, but he could no longer stand still.

There was already a bottomless abyss in front of him, he staggered a few steps and fell down. At this critical moment, he twisted his whole body around, and suddenly saw a rope flying towards him, once he grabbed it, he refused to let go. I only heard the accent of the woman in red saying coldly: "After entering the gate of inaccessibility, at least you have to be warned, don't act rashly, someone will come to rescue you when you are young..." Zhan Mengbai cursed angrily: "I saved you with good intentions, but you repay you with revenge..." Suddenly he fell, and the rope dropped several feet.

The woman in red said coldly: "If you dare to curse again, I will cut the rope." She has not shown her face until now, but her voice is very old. Zhan Mengbai's life was held between the palms of his hands, but his arrogance remained undiminished, and he said angrily: "If you cut it off, cut it off. Am I still afraid of you?" The woman in red seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said: "My boy, do you think I dare not?" Zhan Mengbai laughed and said: "I have not taken this life seriously, if you want to threaten me with life and death, then you are very wrong."

The woman in red sneered and said, "You're not afraid of death, so you think you're brave? Hmph, in fact, people like you are the most cowardly..." Zhan Mengbai said angrily, "Who said that?" The woman in red said: "After you die, can it be all over? Hmph, I think you just want to escape everything by dying." The woman's sharp words whipped his heart like a whip. In an instant, he suddenly thought of the unresolved grievances, Yang Xuan who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and what he was going to do when he went up the mountain... He felt his thoughts surge and he couldn't help himself, so he couldn't help but sighed, and secretly Yu said: "I really can't die..."

While thinking about it, I suddenly felt that my body had risen into the air, and I heard the woman in red laughing in my ear: "You young man who doesn't want to die, I won't kill you either." Before the laughter was over, Zhan Mengbai jumped onto the dangerous platform, and when he stepped on the ground, he realized the danger just now, and his atrium couldn't help beating faster. The woman in red looked at him coldly: "Young man, I finally saved you and never asked you to forgive me. Do you dare to do something for me?" Zhan Mengbai saw that she had a slender figure, and her black hair was still the same as before, but her face was very old, and the delicate outline was covered with deep wrinkles.

He glanced over and sighed: "You plotted against me and saved me, how could I do anything for you, but you never asked me to ask for forgiveness, but I am really grateful in my heart." One must know that he had just started thinking about survival, if the woman in red asked him to ask for forgiveness before she would let him go, maybe he would agree. A smile appeared on the stern face of the woman in red, and she said slowly: "So, you are willing to do that for me." Zhan Mengbai said: "What's the matter?" The woman in red said: "From here, straight up the mountain, there are three strange houses. The one on the left has a chrysanthemum bush. Do you dare to destroy it?"

Zhan Mengbai laughed and said: "I'm about to go up the mountain to make trouble, don't say you want me to smash the chrysanthemums, even if you want me to tear down the house, it will be no problem." The woman in red frowned slightly and said, "What enmity do you have with them, why are you making trouble?" Zhan Mengbai said: "Don't you know that there are three old people living in that strange house, the most vicious and vicious, and they also like to release Gu to hurt people." The woman in red opened her eyes and said, "Really? Who did you hear that from?" Zhan Meng Bai said in a loud voice: "Of course I know that I am going up the mountain to retrieve a red poisonous snake from them to save other people's lives." The eyes of the woman in red flickered, as if she was very strange, she said blankly: "Poisonous snake? What poisonous snake?" Zhan Mengbai sighed: "I can't explain these heretical ways, anyway, that poisonous snake is what they use to spread Gu to harm people." The woman in red was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, and said with a big laugh, "Is there really such a thing? It's wonderful, you should go!" She smiled as if she was very happy, Zhan Mengbai couldn't help staring blankly for a while, then Fang Zi clasped his fists and said: "Madam, please don't worry, I will definitely smash that bush of chrysanthemums into pieces." The woman in red smiled and said, "Okay, the more smashed the better." Zhan Mengbai glanced at her blankly, turned around and ran out, still a little confused in his heart, wondering what the origin of this red-clothed woman was? He ran around in a daze for a while, and when he looked up, he saw the hazy shadow of a house in front of him amidst the misty white clouds, built in a sea of ​​flowers. The ground had arrived, and he felt a big shock in his mind, so he swept it away vigorously. After a few ups and downs, the hazy shadow of the house became very clear. He looked intently, but was stunned again. It's because the house was built so strangely, the house on the far right, the roof tiles and walls are all bright red, the roof is shiny, like a pagoda. The house in the middle is round in everything, with a round roof and a round body. The walls are painted red and yellow, with one red strip and one yellow strip, like a spinning top. The strangest thing is that these two roofs have no doors or windows, and the strange red flowers gradually spread, almost reaching the walls. The house on the left is made of thatch and dark yellow in color. These three houses are connected to each other, the two buildings are built in a strange form, but they are very delicate, only this thatched hut is built crudely, like a rural farmer's residence. In front of the thatched hut, there was indeed a chrysanthemum garden, with hundreds of pots of chrysanthemums, the flowers were as big as bowls, and the color was dark yellow. It was obvious that they were all rare species. Amongst the sea of ​​bright red flowers, there is this chrysanthemum garden. Among the thousands of red bushes, there is a little bit of deep yellow, which is particularly eye-catching. Zhan Mengbai didn't even think about it, he jumped over, punched and kicked, and in an instant, he smashed the hundred pots of precious chrysanthemums into a mess. The more he fought, the more excited he became, he kicked up a pot of chrysanthemums with a sudden kick, flew over three feet, and fell to the ground with a bang. Hearing a loud shout suddenly, a tall, fat, and big old man with bearded face, wearing sackcloth, rushed out of the thatched hut like flying. Although he is clumsy in stature, but his movements are fast, he is as anxious as a falcon, and in the blink of an eye, he is in front of Zhan Mengbai, shouting wildly: "Boy, are you crazy?" Zhan Meng swept back a few feet in vain, staring at him blankly, Da Qi thought: "With this guy's appearance, can he still deceive people?" The old man seemed to be crazy, threw himself on the ground, picked up the broken petals and hissed: "Poor child, you...you..." Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears. Zhan Mengbai still stared at him blankly, but didn't speak. The old man cried bitterly for a while, then suddenly turned over and jumped up, punched Zhan Mengbai, and said loudly: "Crazy boy, who taught you to come here?" Zhan Meng didn't say a word, and dodged the punch, only felt that although there was nothing weird about the old man's moves, his gestures were so fast that it was really hard for the eyes to see! The old man punched several times in a row, then stopped suddenly, and said loudly: "Look at your fist, what does it have to do with Xiao Wangsun and Lan Tianhammer?" Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a moment, and said, "How do you know?" The tall old man shouted angrily: "Okay, so they taught you to come here." Zhan Mengbai also shouted angrily: "Who said they taught me?" The tall old man said sharply: "Do you still want to blame?" He was about to move his figure again, when he suddenly heard someone in the strange house whisper softly: "Brother, take your time, wait for the younger brother to ask for clarification." Although the voice was peaceful, but the tone seemed to be thick and dense, the peaceful voice came from afar, but it seemed to be in the ears. Although the tall old man was furious, he still stopped abruptly. I saw a tall and clear old man walking out slowly following the voice. Although the situation here was chaotic, the old man's footsteps were still unhurried, as if nothing in the world could make him walk faster. As the mountain wind passed by, it blew up the corners of his extremely neat and well-fitting long gown, and also made his neat and pitch-black hair fluctuate uncontrollably. Zhan Mengbai sneered in his stomach and thought: "It seems that this is a deceiving character." The old man Qing Huang walked up to him slowly, looked him up and down, and suddenly said with a smile: "Young man, did you meet anyone along the way?" Zhan Mengbai was startled, and said: "You don't care." The old man Qinghuang still had a smile on his face, without losing his temper, and said with a smile: "You met a woman in red, but she taught you to destroy this chrysanthemum?" Zhan Mengbai was amazed suddenly, but couldn't speak. The old man Qing Huang smiled slightly, turned his head and said: "Brother, why didn't you think that if this young man intentionally went to the mountain to cause trouble, how could he only destroy the chrysanthemum garden and not move the red flowers?" The old man Gaoda sternly said: "The old man has already said that no one is allowed to come here. If this kid is not going up the mountain to make trouble, what is he doing here?" Although these two old people are like brothers, they are very different in temper, clothes and expressions. One is dirty and reckless, while the other is peaceful and clean. The old man Qing Huang smiled again and said: "Young man, do you know that this is a forbidden place in the martial arts, and no one can come up?" Zhan Mengbai said loudly: "So what if you come up?" The old man Qing Huang didn't allow his "big brother" to speak, and said: "If you came here unintentionally, then that's fine, if you came here on purpose..." Zhan Mengbai sternly said: "It's because I came here on purpose." The old man Qing Huang frowned, and still said in a harmonious voice: "You dare to speak like this in front of my brothers, don't you really know who we are?" Zhan Mengbai said: "It's the same whether you know it or not." The old man Qinghuang sighed, "Have you ever heard the word 'Kunlun Shuangjue'?" Zhan Mengbai said: "The shape of the sky and the shadow of the earth, Kunlun Shuangjue, this name should be known to anyone who has a little knowledge of martial arts. I am not deaf, so I have heard of it." The old man Qinghuang said: "Since you know my brother's name, you should..." Zhan Mengbai burst out laughing, and said: "Aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue? This is not how you deceive people. If you are the Kunlun Shuangjue, I will be the Jade Emperor. My advice to you, young master, is to hurry up." Shut up, no matter what you say, I won't believe it." The old man Gao Da seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He let out a strange "wow" and shouted, "I'm so angry. Is there a counterfeit Kunlun Shuangjue?" Zhan Mengbai sneered and thought: "It's quite a fake, but I don't believe it." He said coldly: "Okay, even if the two of you are 'Kunlun Shuangjue', you still have to hand over the scarlet poisonous snake to me today." After saying these words, the peaceful face of the old man Qinghuang immediately changed drastically. The tall old man's eyes were red, his beard and hair were all stretched out, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "That's great, that's why you came here." Zhan Mengbai said loudly: "That's why we came here." The tall old man shouted angrily: "You actually came here for this, so you don't want to go back alive..." In his eyes, all the light shot out, and he walked slowly towards Zhanmengbaixing. The old man Qinghuang seemed to be angry too, and he didn't try to dissuade him at all. Zhan Mengbai puffed up his chest, and saw that every time the tall old man took a step, there was a deep footprint on the ground, like a knife carving. The tall old man slowly raised his arms, his joints slammed violently, his eyes were fixed on Zhan Mengbai, although he raised his arms, he still didn't strike. Zhan Mengbai said: "Quickly do it, seeing that you are old, I will give you three tricks." The eyes of the tall old man suddenly turned crimson, the skin of his hands and feet also suddenly turned purple, and his whole body seemed to have been burned by flames. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being slightly startled, raised his arms, concentrated his strength, and refused to give up an inch, ready to fight the old man with all his strength. Suddenly heard a soft scolding from a distance, said: "Brother, please be merciful." A figure in red flew over like a frightened bird. The old man Qinghuang changed his face and said: "Sister Mei is here, there must be a misunderstanding." In his voice, he suddenly raised a huge boulder surrounding the chrysanthemum garden, and threw it at the tall old man with all his strength. The huge boulder was several feet in diameter, more than a foot high, and weighed about five hundred catties. He threw it with all his strength, and the force was as violent as a landslide. Zhanmeng Bai Daqi wondered: "What's going on?" Before he finished his thought, he suddenly saw the tall old man let out a muffled "hum", raised his palms, and struck out head-on at the boulder that was pressing on him. There was a loud "bang" and the broken stones flew like rain. This boulder, which weighed hundreds of catties and was stronger than steel, was shattered by the old man's palm. The old man Qing Huang let out a long roar, and swept away all the broken stones from the sky where his robe sleeves were stretched out, and they fell neatly on the ground and piled them into a pile. Shocked, Zhan Mengbai became stunned. The tall old man's feet were half a foot into the ground, looking at the woman in red who fell from the sky, he asked angrily, "What's the matter with you?" The woman in red shook her head and sighed, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Turning to Zhan Mengbai, he continued: "If he didn't know that big brother's 'six sun palm power' had to be released once he gathered it, so he used a boulder to drain big brother's palm power first, otherwise would you still be alive at this moment?" Zhan Mengbai said: "Liuyang Palm, is he really the 'Kunlun Shuangjue'?" The woman in red sighed: "You are young, you should also recognize this 'Lei Zhen Kai Shan, Liu Yang Shen Zhang', besides Gongsun Tianxing, who else can practice such skill?" Zhan Mengbai turned his eyes, shook his head and said, "The Kunlun twins are twin brothers, how can they be so different?" The woman in red said: "Look at it more clearly." Zhan Mengbai stared at him, and saw that although one of these two people was slovenly, one was well-groomed, one was out of shape, and the other was peaceful and cautious, and even their bodies were tall and powerful, and the other was slim and tall, but if you look carefully, Go, the eyebrows and outlines of the two are indeed the same. The woman in red looked at his expression, smiled slightly and said, "Can you see clearly?" Zhanmeng Baixuan raised his eyebrows and said: "If the two of them are 'Kunlun Shuangjue', they shouldn't have used those heretical schemes and plots to harm people." The old man Gao Da was stunned for a while, and said angrily: "Who put Gu to harm people?" Zhan Mengbai sternly said: "You let the Gu harm the 'Empire Valley Master', making him dare not walk around the rivers and lakes for the rest of his life, do you still want to blame him now?" The old man's eyes turned slightly, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said: "Xiao Wangsun and my brother have always been friends, why did the old man want to kill him, boy, you have been fooled by others." The old man Qing Huang smiled and said: "Xiao Wangsun didn't want to walk around the rivers and lakes because he violated the rules of the past in his valley. How could it be my brother who harmed him?" Zhan Mengbai said: "It's hard for me to believe it, so..." The old man Qing Huang cut in and said: "The previous owner of the Valley of the Kings was originally a nobleman of the royal family. In order to change the dynasty, he hid in this valley with an incognito name. The rules have gradually loosened, and the world has gradually become aware of the secrets of their backgrounds, so the valley was renamed the 'Valley of the Kings', but the valley owners of all generations are still unwilling to show their faces in the world." Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a while, then said: "So, it could be that I was really wrong." The old man Gao Da said sharply: "Naturally, you are wrong. You rushed up the mountain indiscriminately, and charged people indiscriminately. If you are wrong in one sentence, you still can't leave." Zhan Mengbai raised his chest and said, "I will take care of everything, what do you want?" The old man Gao Da said with a smile: "You are young, but you are really courageous..." The woman in red sighed softly, and continued: "This young man has some relationship with me, brother, you leave his affairs to me to handle!" The old man Gao Da opened his eyes and said loudly: "You asked someone to destroy my chrysanthemum, I haven't settled with you yet, it's best to keep your mind off your business at this moment." There was a slight pause in his voice, he turned to Zhan Mengbai, and said sharply: "Boy, if you have the guts, just wait here for the old man, and I will come to settle accounts with you when I am young." Zhan Mengbai said: "Kill me, I will not leave." The tall old man said: "Okay! I have yours." He strode away. The woman in red turned her eyes to the old man Qinghuang and said, "You should go too." The old man Qinghuang smiled faintly, and said: "Brother has already become really angry, so there is no one to stop him, young man, you have to be more careful." The woman in red said angrily, "Don't mind your own business." The old man Qing Huang turned around with a smile and walked away calmly. Zhan Mengbai saw that he not only seemed a little afraid of the woman in red, but also seemed very dear, and couldn't help being surprised. If the woman in red was his wife, why did she come here to destroy the chrysanthemums herself? At this moment, the woman in red had pulled him aside, patted the bluestones surrounding the chrysanthemum garden, and said, "Sit down and talk slowly." She sat down first, with a smile on her face, and said: "Gongsun Diying has the most gentle temper, why did you even arouse his anger?" Zhan Mengbai said: "Just because I asked him for a bright red poisonous snake..." The woman in red laughed and said: "That's it. You know, this sentence is a big taboo for his brothers. Over the years, countless people have died on this sentence." Zhanmeng Bai Daqi asked, "Why?" The woman in red said: "You just need to ask Mrs. Chaoyang about these things." Zhan Mengbai's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "How do you know that I recognize her?" The woman in red smiled slightly, slowly took out a silk sac from her bosom, shook her head lightly, and said with a smile, "Do you recognize this silk sac?" Zhan Mengbai reached out and touched his bosom, paled and said: "This silk sac was given to me by Mrs. Chaoyang, how did it get into your hands?" The woman in red smiled and said: "You fell off the cliff just now, and this silk sac fell to the ground. If I hadn't seen this silk sac, I might not have saved you just now." The more Zhan Mengbai listened, the more confused he became, so he simply listened intently and stopped asking. The woman in red said: "When I saw this silk sac, I knew that you must have a close relationship with 'Mrs. Chaoyang', and I saw that you are sincere and warm-hearted, mighty and unyielding..." She smiled and said: "If it were someone else, you would never turn around to save me. After being killed by me, you would not grit your teeth and refuse to beg for mercy. The most important thing is that after I rescued you, you didn't blame me, but I am grateful that I didn't force you to beg for mercy, I have seen many people, but I have never seen a man as generous as you, so naturally I can't bear to let you be killed by others in a daze." Zhan Mengbai said: "Until now, I still don't believe it." The woman in red sighed: "Why don't you believe it? Silly boy, do you know that the person who lied to you to go up the mountain intends to kill you. If you hadn't been born with this personality, and you happened to meet me on the way, and I happen to be the acquaintance of 'Lady Chaoyang', am I still alive at this moment?" Zhan Mengbai stayed for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go down the mountain to have a look, and within an hour, I'll come back here." The woman in red said: "You wait until I finish speaking before leaving, and don't come up again after I leave, lest my uncle will make trouble for you again." But Zhan Mengbai didn't seem to hear her words, he had already let go and ran away, the woman in red seemed to want to chase, but finally sat down with a long sigh. Zhan Mengbai was full of anger, ran down the mountain, and thought secretly: "I have a passion for him, and I became brothers with him, why did he harm me like this?" He only wanted to look for Yang Xuan and ask him clearly, his figure was like flying, and in a short while, he saw the bluestone archway standing in the sea of ​​flowers. Unexpectedly, outside the blue stone archway, there seems to be a figure flying over. Zhan Mengbai didn't stop walking, and rushed towards him, but when the figure saw Zhan Mengbai, his body shook suddenly, and he stopped in his tracks. It turned out that this person was Yang Xuan, and he calculated the time, only assuming that Zhan Mengbai had died in the hands of "Kunlun Shuangjue", so he came here specially to collect the body. He was thinking all the way, how to speak, naturally he had to explain that he was a disciple of "Ao Xian Gong", then "Kunlun Shuangjue" would not make things difficult for him in the face of Lan Tianhammer.Then, he can bring Zhan Mengbai's body back to the "Aoxian Palace"... He was thinking about being happy, but he never thought that Zhan Mengbai would come down the mountain alive. Can't help blurting: "You...you are not dead." Zhan Mengbai was full of anger, and said coldly: "Of course he didn't die." Yang Xuan's eyes turned, and an overjoyed expression immediately changed on his face. He raised his forehead with his hands and shouted: "Heaven has eyes, after all, you succeeded in teaching my brother!" Seeing his expression, Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being stunned again. Yang Xuan grabbed Zhan Mengbai's palm and said: "Brother, I thought you had already been murdered by them, so you ran up the mountain desperately..." His eyes were full of tears, and he said: "Second brother, if you die, I will try my best to avenge you for my brother. Fortunately, the sky has eyes..." Before he finished speaking, there were already tears in his eyes, as if weeping from extreme joy. Zhan Mengbai felt a rush of blood in his heart, and thought: "If he wanted to harm me, how could he go up the mountain to save me? He must have been tricked by others." Yang Xuan wiped her tears with her hands, but peeked at the expression on his face from between her fingers. Seeing that the angry look on Zhan Mengbai's face had gradually disappeared, Yang Xuan couldn't help feeling overjoyed, and said, "Second brother, where is the bright red poisonous snake, brother..." Zhan Mengbai sighed and said, "My little brother never got it." Yang Xuan was stunned on purpose, and said blankly, "This...this...what's going on?" Zhan Mengbai sighed secretly: "He cares so much about me, if he knows the truth of this matter, if he knows that I almost blamed him, he will be even more sad than me." After thinking up to this point, he sighed and said: "It's a long story, little brother has to go up the mountain, big brother, wait for me at the bottom of the mountain for three days, after three days, if little brother still hasn't come down the mountain..." Yang Xuan changed color and said: "Since you have come down the mountain, you must never go up again." Zhan Mengbai shook his head, suddenly heard a voice calling from behind, he pushed Yang Xuan quickly, and said, "Brother, go down the mountain quickly..." The voice of calling was getting closer, and he couldn't wait to finish speaking, so he turned to meet him. Yang Xuan said in the mouth: "Second brother, elder brother will accompany you..." But her feet were already turning backwards, her figure flickered, and she rushed out of "Mo Menting" like flying. In fact, his heart was also full of surprises. He didn't know what happened to Zhanmeng Zizai on the mountain, so he had to wait at the bottom of the mountain with ghosts. The first day was fine, but on the second day the dry rations were nearly exhausted. Fortunately, there was still a mountain spring to drink, but the third day was not a good one. But until the evening of the third day, Zhan Mengbai hadn't gone down the mountain yet. He felt uneasy, alternately worried and joyful, doubtful and fearful, and thought repeatedly: "After three days, he still hasn't come down the mountain, so he must have died on the mountain." This is not so much his guess, it is more appropriate to say his wish. Let's say that Zhan Mengbai heard a voice calling behind him, turned around to meet him, and saw the woman in red flying towards him. Zhan Mengbai stopped and said, "What's your order, senior?" The woman in red said: "I didn't want to meddle in your private affairs, but I suddenly thought that you might be going down the mountain to find the person who lied to you, so I followed along." Zhan Mengbai's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said: "Because I was furious, I originally wanted to find him, but then I thought that he might have already left, so I turned back halfway." The woman in red nodded and sighed: "By the way, if he lied to you, why is he still waiting for you at the foot of the mountain?" Zhan Mengbai had never lied in his life, and now he had to say it for the sake of his righteous brother, but he also stammered and blushed. Unexpectedly, the woman in red seemed to be full of other things in her heart, she didn't pay attention to his demeanor, instead she echoed him. Zhan Mengbai took a deep breath, quickly changed the topic, and said: "Senior seems to have a lot to say to me, I don't know what it is?" The woman in red was dazed for a long time, her face gradually revealed a look of pain, she walked slowly up the hillside without saying a word. Zhan Mengbai also followed her silently, and after a while, she suddenly heard her sighing and saying: "Twenty-seven years, twenty-seven years, do you know?" Zhan Mengbai was at a loss as to how to answer her words. The woman in red interjected and sighed: "In the past twenty-seven years, I have never stepped out of that 'Mo Entrance' half a step. I don't know what has become of the world?" Zhan Mengbai said: "Aren't the rivers and lakes full of fame and fortune, grievances and killings. Human faces may change, but these things have never changed." The woman in red nodded slowly, and said, "How are Mrs. Chaoyang and Mrs. Raging Fire? Are they married?" Zhan Mengbai shook his head and said, "No." The woman in red sighed: "Since ancient times, beauties are so miserable. I have known for a long time that they will not get a happy home. Alas, they must be very lonely." Zhan Mengbai didn't know how to answer, and following her back to the messy chrysanthemum orchard, in the afterglow of the setting sun, he couldn't help feeling the depression in the old woman's heart. He knew that she must have had some glorious years in the past, brilliant years, but at this moment, all of them have passed away with the flow of water. The woman in red stopped slowly, and suddenly smiled sadly: "I was only dragging you to talk, but I forgot that I should have taught you to go." Zhan Mengbai said: "I'm still here waiting for the old man that day." The woman in red sighed: "His temper has long been known all over the world, you should hurry up, I will deal with him here." Zhan Mengbai said: "I have never broken my promise in my life." The woman in red said: "If he wants to trouble you, no one can stop him, why bother to trouble yourself, if things get stuck, maybe..." Zhan Mengbai said boldly: "Even if I die here in battle, I can't break my promise. Besides, I'm really too reckless, and I should be punished." The woman in red said in amazement: "It turns out that you will admit your mistake." Zhan Mengbai said: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. Why don't you admit it? If you don't dare to admit your mistake, you are not a coward. If you admit your mistake, you should admit your punishment. Even if you have a knife and an axe, you should stand up and bear it. How can you go away?" Of?" A smile gradually appeared in the eyes of the woman in red, and she said secretly: "Good boy..." Suddenly there was a sound, and the woman in red said: "He is here, and I don't want to stay here anymore, so please take care of yourself!" She turned around, and the tall old man Gongsun Tianxing flew over, glanced up and down at Zhan Mengbai, and said sharply: "My boy, I really didn't leave." Zhan Mengbai said: "If you want to be beaten, you have to be punished, just say it!" Old Man Tianxing said: "If you want to be punished, you will be punished severely, can you bear it?" Zhan Mengbai said: "As long as the punishment is reasonable, I will never fight back." The old man Tianxing laughed and said: "My boy, you are very smart. When you heard the old man's reputation, you didn't dare to fight back. But you want the old man to give you a lighter punishment?" Zhan Mengbai said angrily: "If I feel ashamed, even if the other party is a villager, he can punish me at will. If I am not ashamed, no one wants to make me do whatever I want." The old man Tianxing blinked his eyes and said: "You destroyed the old man's flower garden with your hands, and the old man will cut off your hands. Don't you resist?" Zhanmeng Baixuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Destroyed flowers can be reborn, but broken hands can't grow again. This punishment is neither reasonable nor reasonable. How can I accept it?" Old Man Tianxing laughed loudly and said, "It's reasonable, it's reasonable..." After a pause of laughter, he continued: "Since this is the case, you should replant all my chrysanthemums. Is this punishment reasonable?" Zhan Mengbai was stunned, and said: "It's a little too light." Old man Tianxing sneered and said, "How do you know that you are so light? You know that these chrysanthemums are all of the highest quality, and it is not easy to replant them!" Zhan Mengbai said: "If you can plant, I can too." The old man Tianxing said: "Okay! If that's the case, you should first loosen the soil by three feet, not a single centimeter will be shallow." He took a hoe, threw it in front of Zhan Mengbai, and continued: "From front to back, from left to right, turn over piece by piece, don't be opportunistic, you know?" Turning around and walking back to the thatched hut, he said loudly: "Call me again when everything is turned over." He closed the door with a "bang", and never talked about Zhanmengbai again. Zhan Mengbai looked up at the sky, sighed secretly: "I'm afraid this land will not be dug until tomorrow." Picking up the hoe, the hoe went down. When he hoeed down for the first time, his heart sank—just because the soil was surprisingly hard. Even if he hoeed hard, he could only hoe down a few inches. If he wanted to loosen it all, how could he It can be done in just one day. He gritted his teeth, swung the hoe, and hoeed until the moon was sinking and the stars were setting, but both arms seemed to be numb, so he stopped his hands, but he still didn't loosen half of the soil. Looking at the unfinished work, he sighed and fell to the ground. Fang Zi closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep unconsciously. When he woke up the next day, the sun was already shining in the sky, and there was a jug of water and two pieces of dry food by his side, but the doors of the three strange houses were still tightly closed. He turned over and jumped up, stretched his waist, only to feel that his arms were a little sore, he ate some dry food indiscriminately, and started working again. On the second day, he worked much longer than the first day, but it seemed that the amount of soil turned was not as much as the first day, and there was still a piece of unturned soil left. He smiled wryly, and suddenly realized that the work of digging the soil was more difficult than wrestling with martial arts masters, and he also suddenly realized that the punishment was not light. When he woke up on the third day, he couldn't help complaining—not only his arms were sore, but even those old wounds were faintly flared up. So the work on the third day was even more difficult. It was really a hoe, a drop of sweat, if it was someone else.Even if you don't stop, you have to play tricks. But he gritted his teeth, neither speculating nor asking for forgiveness. Although no one was watching, he still turned the soil down three feet, and there was even more. When he reached the last piece of land, it was already dusk, his body was covered with dirt and sweat, and he was so tired that he was out of shape. He only felt that the soil he hoeed was harder than a stone. He actually turned over the last square of soil for nearly an hour, and when he turned to the bottom, he was about to complete his great work, when suddenly he heard a sound of "dang", and the hoe seemed to touch gold and iron.
