Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Crossing Guanshan in a Cold Night

Zhan Mengbai cupped his fists and said, "I broke through the barrier and entered, I hope the master will forgive me." He paused for a moment, and immediately continued solemnly: "But here, there is an extremely urgent matter, and there cannot be a moment's delay." Tiegu and Shenji were terrified and asked in unison, "What's the matter?" Zhan Mengbai said: "It's a long story, I hope you two will go to the abbot's room first." He didn't wait for the two to answer, he strode towards the back of the hall. Seeing his serious expression, Tie Gu and Shen Ji knew that there was something important to do, they no longer cared about being modest and courteous, and strode away in unison.

Zhan Mengbai was familiar with the road at first, and after three turns and two turns, he came to the abbot's room. The wooden sign outside the door that said "common name for entering the room" had already been removed. But the furnishings in the abbot's room have not been changed at all, there is a cloud bed at the door, in the center of the cloud bed, behind the sapphire table, there is a futon placed upright. When Zhan Mengbai saw this futon, he thought of the secret that shook the world, the key was in this little futon, but he felt his blood rushing up, he couldn't care about anything else, he rushed over and grabbed it with his hand. After picking up the futon, Mingmu let out a long sigh and said, "Thank God, I finally found it."

Fang Zi, who was about to rush in, saw the magic machine and iron bone, and couldn't help looking at him in astonishment when he saw his actions, and said, "What is Zhan Xianggong doing?" Unexpectedly, Zhan Mengbai didn't seem to hear what the two of them said at all, and with a split of his hands, he tore the straw futon to pieces. But there was nothing in the futon. Master Shenji changed his color and said angrily: "Why did Mr. Zhan want to destroy the things in my brother's room?" But Zhan Mengbai cried out in surprise, took three steps back, and sat down on the cloud bed, staring blankly for a long while, then suddenly said loudly: "Have you changed this futon?"

Master Tie Gu saw that he was behaving in a panic, and knew there must be a reason for it, so he stopped Master Shen Ji from shouting angrily, and said in a deep voice, "What has been changed?" Zhan Mengbai asked anxiously: "Is this futon used by the abbot in the past?" Iron Bone Master Fang Zi shook his head, but Zhan Mengbai rushed over and grabbed him, saying, "Where did that futon go in the past?" He was so nervous that his voice trembled a little. Master Iron Gu said: "The poor monk doesn't know, but it must be found." Zhan Mengbai hissed: "Quick... go find it quickly."

Master Iron Bone frowned and said, "What's the use of finding it?" Zhan Mengbai squeezed his palms even tighter, and said: "There is a huge secret hidden in the futon, and this secret is related to the fate of the world's martial arts." Suddenly heard Master Iron Bone say: "Oh, it's broken..." Zhan Mengbai's body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Is the futon broken?" Master Iron Bone shook his head and smiled wryly, "The old man's wrist is about to be crushed by my husband." Zhan Mengbai heaved a sigh of relief and let go of his hands, but Master Iron Gu had already turned around and said, "Who was the person who checked the relics of the master that day?"

Someone outside the door said: "It's Senior Brother Dajue." Master Tiegu said: "Go and find him." Holding his wrists, he turned around and smiled wryly, "Then what's the secret in the futon, can Mr. Zhan tell you?" Zhan Mengbai sighed and said: "I am very confused at the moment, even if I say it, I can't explain it clearly. When I was young, I was looking for a futon, so I should tell you." He fidgeted and paced back and forth in the room, Tiegu and Shenji couldn't help but feel uneasy too, suddenly he heard someone outside the door saying: "Disciple Dajue is here waiting for orders."

The three of them were shocked, and blurted out in unison: "Come in." There was a reply from outside the door, followed by the sound of undressing.Then, a gray-robed monk with big ears strode over. He walked steadily and slowly, as if he was afraid of stepping on the ants on the ground with every step, he was indeed a prudent talent in charge of chores. Master Iron Bone asked: "You are responsible for the relics of the uncle?" Monk Dajue bowed his head and said: "This disciple is responsible for every relic, and there is a list. The disciple has brought it. I respectfully ask the two masters to check it out."

Master Iron Bone sighed: "Who wants your list, just ask your futon in the abbot's room in the past, where did you put it now?" But the monk Dajue had already brought a list with both hands, bowed his head and said: "I will never dare to be sloppy in doing things, and none of the master's relics has been lost." Zhan Mengbai breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "Thank God..." But Dajue said again: "Only the futon..." Zhan Mengbai's heart was shocked, and he blurted out, "What happened to the futon?" Monk Dajue glanced at him, and said slowly: "Only the futon and prayer beads, disciples have cremated them along with the uncle's remains."

Zhan Mengbai felt a sweetness in his throat, blood gushing up, he said anxiously: "You...you..." Before he finished speaking, blood splashed out of his mouth. Master Tie Gu was surprised: "Mr. Zhan, what's wrong with you?" Zhan Mengbai looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's over, it's over..." It wasn't until after a meal that Zhan Mengbai could settle down and tell the story of how he met the gray-browed monk and how he heard him tell his secrets. Tiegu and Shenji were stunned at first, and then sighed. In the end, the two couldn't help but shed tears together, saying: "Fourth brother, I have suffered so much for you, and senior brother has wrongly blamed you, but I hope you will reach bliss and rest in peace soon."

Zhan Mengbai was filled with grief and indignation, with indescribable disappointment, he walked to the door in a daze, looked up at the sky, feeling so depressed that words can't describe it. Suddenly, another gray-robed monk came striding forward, panting, "Tell Master Uncle, there is a man down the mountain calling for Mr. Zhan madly." Zhan Mengbai's heart was shocked again, before he could listen to anything else, he rushed out, across the winding corridors, the small garden, the main hall and the gate of the temple. He didn't stop for a moment, rushed to the foot of the mountain, and suddenly heard shouting: "Brother Zhan, Hero Zhan."

Zhan Mengbai suddenly turned around and looked over, he saw a person leaning under the tung tree at the foot of the mountain, tied to a horse, looking carefully, this person was actually Huang Hu. But seeing that his clothes are dirty at the moment, his expression is haggard, his cheeks have become thinner, his beard and hair are even more messy, he doesn't have the previous high-spirited appearance. And that horse turned out to be a thousand-mile steed, even though its spirit was languid at the moment, but when it saw Zhan Mengbai, it still couldn't stop looking up and neighing. Zhan Mengbai really didn't know whether it was surprise or joy, he flew away, holding Huang Hu's shoulder, and said: "How did Xiongtai become like this? How could it come so quickly?" Huang Hu smiled miserably, and said: "I will almost never come here." Zhan Mengbai changed his face and said: "Could it be that something happened on the way?" Looking around, he asked again: "Where did Kunzhong He and Brother Jin go?" But Huang Hu shook his body twice, and before he finished speaking, he fell under the tree. So Zhan Mengbai had no choice but to send the people to Jinshan Temple first. Master Iron Bone barely suppressed the grief in his heart, and felt the pulse of the fainted Huang Hu. Zhan Mengbai asked in a low voice, "May I do it?" Master Tiegu watched intently for a while, then smiled and said: "Your friend is just exhausted for days, his stomach is empty, and he is anxious and panicked. He was forced by the cold dew and wind and frost, so he attacked internally and externally, and forced something to happen. Fortunately, he is extremely strong. As long as you eat some ginseng soup, you can heal without medicine." Zhan Mengbai was overjoyed and thanked, Master Tiegu had ordered to prepare ginseng soup and food, but Zhan Mengbai ran to the stable to take care of the thousand-mile horse. Before dusk, the horse had recovered and the man woke up. Zhanmeng Bai Fang asked himself: "Why is Xiongtai so desperate, and what happened?" Huang Hu sighed: "After Brother Zhan was sent away, when I woke up from a drunkenness, I was afraid of drinking, afraid that I would be detained by Fu Zhongping again, so I also slipped away quietly. "However, when I arrived in Sichuan, there were always people spying on me, and I thought I was just a little robber stepping on a plate, and I just felt it was funny. "At that time, I was waiting for the lonely journey, and I was just wishing that there would be some unsightly green forests to entertain us, and I would not vote for the shops, and only took the lonely paths. "Not long after we left, someone really came, all of them were masked in black, and their bodies were surprisingly vigorous, and they were by no means comparable to ordinary green forest roads. "In the confrontation, we are not opponents, and we are about to lose. Only then did 'Chuanyunyan' show its name and ask them why they came." Zhan Mengbai changed his face in horror and said: "With the three Wu hook swords of 'Laoshan Sanyan' and the two brothers Huang and Jin, aren't they their opponents? How many people are there in total?" Huang Hu sighed: "Although there are only six of them, their martial arts are not weak, especially one of them has the skill of 'Yin Guang Wan Zi Duo', and the speed of his moves is dazzling." Zhan Mengbai frowned and said, "Haven't you guys seen the origin of his martial arts?" Huang Hu shook his head and sighed: "I can't tell, I just feel that they are all using outside martial arts masters that are rarely seen in Jianghu, and they are all using outside weapons." Zhan Mengbai pondered for a while, and said: "What is their purpose? Can you ask?" Huang Hu said: "Three geese in Laoshan really have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes. When they heard this, they gradually relaxed. They first used a story that none of the five of us could understand, and then they said that as long as we keep this horse Come, he can spare the lives of the five of us.” Zhan Mengbai's heart skipped a beat again, and he blurted out, "Stay here?" Huang Hu said: "That's right, if they want something else, that's all. If they want this horse, the five of us have no guts and loyalty, so we can't give it to him. "That's when I realized that brother He, 'Chuan Yunyan' is indeed a character. "He stabilized the other party with words first, but at the same time secretly asked his third brother to cover me, and took the opportunity to ride the horse and escape." He heaved a long sigh, and Fang Zi continued: "Although I can't bear to let them go, but I can't live up to Brother Zhan's entrustment, so I have to bear the pain to do so. "At that time Chuanyun Yanhe elder brother, Chongxiao Yanhe second brother, the two Wuhook swords rolled towards those six people as if they had received the help of a god. "My big brother Jin also used the judge's pen to entangle them desperately. Even if Brother He used the 'Yan Ling Dart' which they don't often use, he retreated while fighting." He paused for a moment, then continued panting: "Although those six people have high martial arts skills, they seemed to be intimidated by this force, so Brother He and I finally grabbed the horse." He rubbed his eyes, and sighed: "But...but when we ran away on horseback, Second Brother He and Brother Jin were already... both wounded." Zhan Mengbai heard his blood rushing up, his throat choked up, he clenched his fists tightly, and said with sobs: "He Sange...why didn't he come?" Huang Hu gasped for a while, Fang Zi then said: "Sange He and I escaped by chance and flew away overnight, we all count on looking for Brother Zhan to make plans. "Unexpectedly, when we fled to the edge of the river, there was an alarm again, and there were horses chasing again. He Sange was already very emaciated at this time, but he still taught me to escape alone. "But he turned around and went up to him. At that time, my mind was already in a state of confusion. I only heard the sound of clanging and sword clashing behind me. After a while of confusion, I finally stopped hearing it." His eyes were filled with grief and indignation, and he slowly continued: "So I stayed up all night, and finally came here by luck, and I finally lived up to my fate, and brought the horse with me." After he finished speaking, Zhan Mengbai seemed to be stunned suddenly, sitting there blankly, his whole body did not move, only his eyes were wide open, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched unceasingly. Master Shenji, who had been listening silently to the side, had changed color a long time ago, but until now he said loudly: "This is what is called Jianghu loyalty, and this is the man with Jianghu loyalty." Master Tie Gu also sighed to himself: "One promise is one thousand gold, and you will never regret it until you die. I hope that I will have the chance to meet the 'Three Geese in Laoshan' in the future, so that I can teach the old monk to admire their heroic spirit." Huang Hu wept sadly and said: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." He sighed and kept silent, but he couldn't bear to say the word "I can't see you anymore". Zhan Mengbai suddenly hit the stone table with his palm, and the stone table shattered. Zhan Mengbai choked up and said, "I hate it so much. The three He brothers died for Zhan Mengbai, but Zhan Mengbai doesn't even know who his enemy is?" Huang Hu gritted his teeth, but couldn't help but shed tears. Master Shenji slowly got up, walked around the room for a few times, then suddenly stopped and said: "If you two want to find out the whereabouts of your enemy, this old man has an idea." Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu were both moved, and blurted out: "Quickly ask Master for advice." Master Shenji said slowly: "Since those masked people came here for the horse, if they haven't got the horse, they probably won't let it go, so..." He paused slowly, and Zhan Mengbai couldn't help asking: "So what should I do?" Master Shenji sighed: "As long as Zhan Xianggong rides this horse and enters Sichuan again, Zhan Xianggong doesn't have to look for them, they will definitely find them themselves." Zhan Mengbai said happily: "Damn it, why didn't I think of this idea before." Master Shenji looked solemn, and said: "But those masked people have high martial arts skills, and their behavior is even more weird. If you want to go, you must invite more assistants." Zhan Mengbai looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Master, I am grateful for your kindness, but with Zhan Mengbai's palms and this iron sword, I want them to repay this blood debt with blood." Huang Hu had already jumped down to the ground, clenched his fists and said, "Brother Zhan, when... when are we leaving?" His chest heaved and his voice became even more excited. Zhan Mengbai shouted: "At this moment..." He suddenly stopped speaking, glanced at Huang Hu, and sighed: "Brother Huang is in such a situation, he should rest for half a day." Huang Hu also looked up to the sky and smiled: "Everyone in Jianghu already knows that Zhan Mengbai has the courage of iron, but I, Huang Hu, have the body of iron, and I will never collapse from exhaustion." Zhan Mengbai was silent for a while, reached out to pat him on the shoulder, and said, "Good brother!" After just three words, tears welled up in his eyes. Master Shenji's eyes seemed to be a little sore, he turned his gaze away, and stopped looking at them, but said in his mouth: "Since that's the case, the poor monk will go and prepare the horses for the two of you." Master Tiegu said: "The horse 'Qianlixue' in the stable has been quite strong recently, please ask someone to prepare saddles for Mr. Zhan and the others!" Master Shenji responded, and he rushed out. Although he was outside, he couldn't help being excited when he saw the loyalty of this passionate man. After dusk, Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu ferryed to the opposite bank with two horses. Although he didn't say thank you, but his heart was full of gratitude for the iron bones and the magical machine, and he only hoped that he could get back the bronze drum and jade belt, the treasure of the town temple, for them in the future. Huang Hu said: "I heard that Brother Dao Zhan's family is in Hangzhou, you and I will travel via Hangzhou, the journey is actually not that far away." Zhan Mengbai felt a pain in his heart, couldn't bear to think about it, and said loudly: "No need." He waved his whip and pointed to the west, saying: "You and I go straight to Luoyang from here, and then take the road from Xiangyin to Sichuan, this is the shortest way." Huang Hu stared blankly at his heroic posture sitting on the horse, the sky was full of red clouds, reflecting his upright and handsome figure, his resolute and handsome face... At this moment, in Huang Hu's heart, there are only three words to say: "A good man!" !" It was dusk again. On Xinyang Road, where spring is fading, the grass is already deep. In the tea pavilion, under the shade of the trees, pedestrians rest their feet in small groups. Looking at the edge of Xinyang city, the smoke is everywhere, and the lanterns are just lit up. Against the fog in the sky, it looks like a picture. On the road in the distance, there was a series of pleasant bells ringing suddenly. People couldn't help looking sideways, and saw two magnificent horses galloping forward, with distinctive saddle bridles, and another horse with double golden bells. Horses are already eye-catching, and people on horseback are even more energetic. On the other hand, a horse, with a gun sitting upright like a mighty man in a brocade suit, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a majestic air, and a long knife hanging from his waist. He stared at Zixiong, and frequently hit the saddle with his waist knife, but his tall and mighty body sat on the saddle, but he didn't move at all, obviously his riding skills must be amazing. The second horse, laced with bells. The flying look on the horse made people dare not take a second look after one glance, just because they feel ashamed in comparison to others. He was covered in black clothes, clinging to his slender and tall body, with black boots on his feet, a long sword under his waist, and only a crystal pearl embedded in the black scabbard. Looking at the decoration at a glance, although it is not bright and gorgeous, there is no flaw in the whole body, which can set off his noble spirit even more. Many people did not dare to look at his face, they only saw that his eyes were too sharp and startling, but even a quick glance was enough to make the girl fall in love with him. The bell swayed, and the horse galloped away. But the figure still stayed on the ground, watching his figure in the setting sun. Outside Xinyang City, there are two strong men in green clothes and short shirts, wearing Malianpo straw hats, looking at the way they came from. Seeing the two horses coming galloping, the men in green clothes all showed joy, and whispered: "Sure enough." The two exchanged glances, jumped on the horses together, and rushed into the city. But the people on the horse didn't realize it at all, so they raised their whips and entered the city. The big man in brocade clothes said: "Are you going to rest here tonight?" The black-clothed boy smiled slightly and said, "That's right. Let's run all the way here. From now on, we will stop when we encounter towns. The slower we go, the better." The big man in brocade clothes laughed and said, "Good idea." There was a sudden burst of laughter, and grief and indignation appeared on the brows, and he said in a deep voice: "I hope they will find out before we enter Sichuan after hearing the news." The black-clothed boy sighed, "The sooner the blood feud is reported, the sooner the peace of mind will be. I tied a golden bell on the bridle, deliberately flaunting it, and I want them to hear the news and come earlier." The big man in brocade clothes smiled and said: "Since I deliberately ostentatious, I only regret that we don't have much money and there are few acquaintances on this road. Otherwise, I will be ostentatious, and no one can compare." The boy in black smiled and said: "Golden Tiger's family has a huge fortune, and his ability to spend money is probably known to everyone in the Jianghu." The big man in brocade clothes laughed, and said, "I'm ashamed, ashamed, although I know how to spend money, but when I see brother Zhan, I'm still a little foolish!" He deliberately stopped laughing, and said seriously: "Spend the most money and buy the most inconspicuous things, this is really a good way to spend money. People see that my clothes are gorgeous, but who would guess that Brother Zhan's clothes are not gorgeous?" The clothes are three times as expensive as this gorgeous clothes." The two laughed at each other and stepped on the long street. Naturally, everyone on the long street looked sideways, but the two of them waved their whips and talked and laughed as if there was no one else around. It was obvious that these two were Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu. Besides the two of them, who else has such high spirits? That night, the two found the biggest inn, singing and drinking, but neither of them dared to overdo it, because both of them knew that there were many dangers lurking along the way, and bloody battles to be experienced. How dare the two of them get drunk? In the middle of the night, three figures suddenly appeared outside the courtyard where the two of them lived. These three people all had long knives on their shoulders, and all had vigorous skills, but they never stepped into the yard, and Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu never noticed it either. The strange thing is that this night, these three people have been spying back and forth outside the courtyard with light and agile movements, neither entering the hospital nor leaving. Until the eastern dawn, the city is full of roosters. When Zhan Mengbai woke up, he pushed open the window, and saw a figure in black outside the courtyard. His heart moved slightly, and he rushed out, but the man in black had disappeared. When Huang Hu was woken up, the two were discussing and guessing, when they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, someone said respectfully: "Has Hero Zhan ever risen?" Zhan Mengbai sneered and said, "It's here now." But Huang Hu had already rushed out, and saw two long-clothed men standing side by side in the morning mist in the courtyard, Huang Hu said sharply, "Who is looking for Zhan Mengbai?" The two men in long gowns rushed over and bowed to each other. Although they were wearing long gowns, their steps were steady and vigorous, but they were obviously tycoons. The one on the left, tall and tall, with a slight beard, about forty years of age, bowed with fists folded and said: "Xinyang Longhao, meet the hero Zhan." Huang Hu's eyes flashed, and he said: "Brother, is the dragon hero known as 'Xinyang Hook'? This one must be 'Huangzhou Sword' Lin Qiugu." The person on the right clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I'm next to Sun Jiuxi." This person is thin and short, but his eyes are as sharp as knives, his arms hang down, almost reaching his knees. Huang Hu said: "Oh, so it's 'Jiuxian Yunlong' Sun Daxia." Sun Jiuxi bowed and said, "Don't dare." Huang Hu laughed and said, "I've heard about the 'Xinyang Panlong Hook' and 'Huangzhou Crouching Tiger Knife' for a long time, and I can't leave Meng. Why is there one less today?" "Xinyang Hook" Long Haoren said with a smile: "Second Brother Lin is still in Huangzhou, so he must be here soon. Unexpectedly, Hero Zhan also knows my brother's humble name." Huang Hu laughed and said, "I'm not Zhan Mengbai." Long Hao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Where is Hero Zhan?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and there was already a young boy in black with a high spirit on the opposite side. He didn't need to ask any more, and he knew that this person must be Zhan Mengbai. Zhan Mengbai had clasped his fists and smiled, and said: "My next Zhan Mengbai, what advice do you two have?" Long Haoren bowed and said: "I received a letter from Lin's second younger brother Fei Ge yesterday, and heard that Hero Zhan has appeared, so I sent someone to wait outside the city." Huang Hu said: "So, you will know when we enter the city?" Long Hao said with a smile: "I was supposed to come to visit last night, I'm afraid that Hero Zhan will be exhausted from the journey, so I barely dared to come to visit until today." Zhan Mengbai saw Huang Hu's words and demeanor, and knew that these two must be some heroes in the Jianghu, so he smiled and clasped his fists, and sat down. But Long Hao clasped his fists to Huang Hu again and said: "Brother, you are so familiar with the people here, but I'm still not lucky enough to know your name, I'm really ashamed." Huang Hu laughed and said: "Brother's house, the heroes from the north and the south are constantly coming and going. When drinking happily, they will serve the wine with the names of these martial arts heroes. Therefore, although the brothers have never met the two, they already know their names." Long Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, stroked his fists and said with a smile: "In this way, Xiongtai must be Huang Daxia, the young owner of the 'Golden Village' in northern Hebei." Huang Hu laughed and said, "Why don't you call me Golden Tiger?" Long Haoren also laughed loudly and said: "Brother Huang is indeed a happy person. If it is not suitable for drinking in the morning, Long will have three drinks with Brother Huang at this moment." Huang Hu widened his eyes and said loudly: "Who says it's not suitable to drink alcohol in the early morning? My brother drank from night to dawn, and from dawn to dark, and he never frowned." So the food and wine were delivered in a short while, "Jiuxian Yunlong" Sun Jiuxi smiled softly, calmly, but in fact he served a huge amount. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help but ask him again about their intentions. Long Haoren said with a smile: "I'm just here to meet Xia Zong, I have no other intentions." Zhan Mengbai said: "Brother Tai is too polite." Long Hao stopped his cup and sighed: "If it weren't for the heroic swordsmanship, my brother's 'Shuangyi Escort' would have been finished, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live today." Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a while, it was another case without a head. Sun Jiuxi said slowly: "At the side of Funiu Mountain, the great hero Zhan broke the siege of the 'Shuangyi Escort Bureau' out of righteousness, but he flew away like a dragon seeing the head but not the tail." He filled his glass of wine, sighed and continued: "Although I have never seen such a heroic gesture, I am heartbroken to hear it, so I heard Brother Long talk about it last night, so I took the liberty to come here this morning. " Zhan Mengbai could only smile wryly and thought: "When I first came out of the rivers and lakes in the past, I was wronged everywhere, as if all bad things were done by Zhan Mengbai, who knows how long the situation has completely changed, and it has become so severe, Is this really the reincarnation of heaven, and retribution cannot happen?" Although he wanted to explain, he also knew this strange and subtle situation, and he couldn't explain it clearly when he asked. But he really didn't want to hear such compliments from others, so he could only change his mouth and say with a smile: "Brother Long Weizhen Xinyang, he must be very familiar with Xia Zong here." Long Hao said humanely: "I know the general idea." Zhan Mengbai smiled slightly, and said: "Last night, it seemed that a few friends from the green forest wanted to take care of my brother, but they were unable to do so, and they left in a hurry until this morning." Long Hao raised his glass and said with a smile: "This is because Zhan Daxia misunderstood. The friends outside Zhan Daxia's courtyard last night were not only not thieves, but came to guard against thieves for Zhan Daxia." Zhan Mengbai Daqi said: "I don't understand this again." Long Hao said with a smile: "There are a few bodyguards who have also received great kindness from Zhan Daxia in the lower bodyguard bureau. Knowing that Zhan Daxia came here for the first time, he was afraid that some unscrupulous friends would come to disturb Zhan Daxia's sleep. They kept watch all night, but they were ashamed of themselves, but they didn't dare to thank them in person." Zhan Mengbai was moved and ashamed, but could not speak. Huang Hu tossed the glass and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, just invite those friends here, otherwise, brothers will definitely not be able to drink this wine." The Longhao people were overjoyed and said: "Since that's the case, you should call me here." While Fang Zi was sending the message, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted: "Is Hero Zhan still here? Lin Qiugu is late to see you." Seeing that Lin Qiugu is tall and tall, with a heroic appearance, he seems to be three points better than Long Haoren, and Zhan Mengbai can't help but feel pity for each other. When I was young, the three bodyguards also came by themselves, so they chatted, laughed and drank until the sun was three poles, and it was past noon, and Zhan Mengbai resolutely left. Long Haoren and the others knew that Zhan Mengbai must be in a hurry, so they didn't dare to keep him any longer, and sent them straight to the outside of Xinyang City, where Fang bowed to say goodbye. Huang Hu waved his whip and said with a smile: "A few good guys again, it's a pity they won't send them any further." Zhan Mengbai smiled and said, "Isn't it enough to send it outside the city?" The two walked for a while, Huang Hu suddenly frowned and said: "This is strange, how come the saddle suddenly becomes hard and cold." Zhan Mengbai also felt something strange, after careful inspection, he suddenly found that his saddle had been replaced, and this pair of saddle stirrups was surprisingly made of pure gold, but painted black. Huang Hu shook his head and smiled, "What a Longhao man." Zhan Mengbai said: "How can I receive such a heavy gift?" Huang Hu said: "This kind of person must have the same temper as me. If Brother Zhan returns this saddle to him, I'm afraid he won't even be able to eat." Zhan Mengbai shook his head and sighed, then couldn't help laughing and said: "Now you don't have to worry about running out of money, knocking down a stirrup at will is enough for you to show off." Relatively laughing, the horse is galloping, and the bell is melodious and swaying. To the west of Xinyang is the Tongbai Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles. When pedestrians arrive here, they must pass through the mountain through "Yangjingguan" before entering Hubei. A few miles away from the pass, there is a small town with three or five thatched huts. The two of them drank three cups in each shop and crossed the Guanshan Mountain at night. Although the village wine was poured thinly, but the wine was rushing into his stomach, Huang Hu only felt ecstatic, and he was also in high spirits. He gave pointers, talked and laughed, and let his horse gallop at the foot of the mountains. At this time, the heavy twilight mountain mist has descended from the mountainside, and the earth seems to be dyed by light ink. The towering mountains seem to seem to exist and seem to exist. The sound of hoofbeats gradually slows down, and the sound of bells is clear and pleasant. Together with the faint pine waves, it adds a bit of strangeness to the splendid Guanshan Mountain in the thick fog in late spring, which is lightly provocative. Zhan Mengbai suddenly felt some familiar lines of poetry appear in his chest. Huang Hu has already started to sing loudly, his high-pitched singing voice pierces through the clouds, but it seems that he can't break through the faint nostalgia and sultry feelings. Unexpectedly, Zhan Mengbai's complexion changed slightly, and he yelled softly, "Shut up!" Huang Hu stopped singing in astonishment, "What's the matter?" Zhan Mengbai frowned slightly, and said softly, "Listen." Huang Hu listened attentively, only to hear the aftertaste of the singing had just stopped, and in the dense fog and forest, there were waves of women's cries for help. Zhan Mengbai didn't wait for him to answer, he patted his horse and ran towards the forest, Huang Hu thought to himself: "What a righteous man, sure enough, the road is rough, so he will draw his sword to help." While thinking about it, he also chased after him with his horse. The mountain road is rugged, and as it gets higher, the cry of mourning gradually becomes weaker. Zhan Mengbai was afraid of the sound of hoofbeats, so he got off his horse and walked on tiptoe, with small steps, mixed with occasional vibrations of golden bells, but his wailing turned into bitter crying. The two came to the edge of the forest and led the horse into the forest without any hesitation, but the sound of crying was indistinct, and they couldn't figure out the exact direction for a while. As we got deeper into the forest, Huang Hu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhan, is this a trap set up by someone to lure me and others?" Zhanmeng Baixuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Even if it's a trap, you have to jump into it to see what's going on. If you don't save yourself after hearing the sound, isn't it the behavior of a man in the rivers and lakes?" Huang Hu couldn't help raising his thumb, and praised him loudly, but he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Who is doing evil here, if you have the guts, come out and fight the old men for three hundred rounds." Zhan Mengbai frowned slightly, but couldn't stop it anymore. Unexpectedly, when he stopped crying, the faint crying sound suddenly turned into a sinister and eerie laugh, and then, such eerie and strange laughter resounded from all around. Zhan Mengbai's heart trembled slightly, Huang Hu shouted sharply: "Who?" Laughter is ethereal, permeating among the mountains and trees. In the dense fog of the night, the mountains, forests, and trees seemed to have turned into ghostly shadows, looking at them with a sinister smile. After a long, long time, in the midst of the laughter, the self-proclaimed human voice, eerie and slow, slowly said: "Put down the horses, and let you escape out of the forest." Zhan Mengbai's heart trembled: "Here we come." However, Huang Hu laughed sharply and said: "Boy, as expected, this is here, come out, the uncle is waiting for you!" With wild laughter, he threw away the rein of the horse, and pulled out the long knife at his waist. In the dense fog, Sensen smiled and said: "If you don't let the horses go, you will die without a place to bury you..." Huang Hu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he rushed out screaming wildly and brandishing his knife. Zhan Mengbai grabbed him anxiously, and said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute! Come with me." He was afraid that the yellow tiger might lose something, and he didn't want to leave the horse. He held the yellow tiger with one hand and the rein with the other, and walked towards the direction where the voice came from, full of strength all over his body. He could only hear that sinister laugh still laughing in the distance: "Here we are, are we going to die? Okay, come on... come on..." The stern laughter was like a ghost calling out to the soul. Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu suddenly felt their feet go soft, and the ground seemed to have sunk suddenly. The horse walked last, stood upright and neighed, and luckily still stood by the edge of the pit. Huang Hu also hurriedly turned back and retreated, but he didn't know that the trap was made very skillfully, the two of them walked to the center, and the trap fell, even if he retreated, it was too late. He heard an exclamation, and he fell into the pit with a "poof". Someone in the distance laughed sharply: "It's fallen...it's fallen..." In this unbearable moment, Zhan Mengbai raised his breath and jumped up out of thin air, bowed his body, and rushed out obliquely. Unexpectedly, his body fell to the ground, his feet went limp, and he had no strength at all. This time, his true strength was exhausted, and he could no longer pull himself up in the air. He felt the wind blowing in his ears, he fell straight down, the trap was four feet deep, and there was still three feet of water below, no matter who it was, it would be impossible for him to jump up after falling. Only to hear Huang Hu still exclaiming and cursing over there, he laughed wildly and said: "My boy, even if your stupid way hurt me, will it hurt my big brother Zhan?" Zhan Mengbai couldn't help sighing secretly: "Although this method is old and clumsy, it is really hard to guard against. Who would have thought that Zhan Mengbai would fall into a trap?" A thought flashed by, and the sound of galloping footsteps and the neighing of horses could be heard above. Zhan Mengbai was startled and angry, he managed to calm down, and thought to himself: "As long as this trap has a limit, I can climb up against the wall." Immediately move his body shape, stretch his hands forward, and walk with breath, but the pit is pitch black, it is difficult to see his fingers, he can only walk in the dark. Unexpectedly, his fingertips just touched the earth wall, but his mind couldn't help sinking. The wall was covered with glue wet tung oil. At this time, someone beside the pit laughed and said, "You came here to die, so you can't blame my brother. Come, and taste some boiled lime first!" In the sound of the voice, a bag of lime was thrown down. The lime touched the water and immediately boiled, and the milky white smoke protruded and filled the air. Zhan Mengbai looked up to the sky and sighed, "Thinking about how dangerous the 'Soul Refining Pond' is, it couldn't kill me, but unexpectedly I died in this little trap." He was really filled with grief and indignation, unable to explain himself, he looked up to the sky and shouted loudly: "What is the origin of my friends, you might as well tell me, so that you can teach me..." The master of the pit laughed and said: "You are about to die, why do you ask why..." Before the voice was finished, there was a sharp and sharp sound that could almost pierce people's eardrums, whistling and flying over the top of the pit. Then, there were four screams, one after another, the echo echoed in the morning mist of the mountains and forests, making people feel chills when they heard it. After the echo disappeared, there was no sound from above.
