Chapter 272 Chapter 6 Fighting on the Plank Road

Xu Ziling finally set foot on the dangerous and famous plank road in Daba Mountain. This kind of artificial dangerous road built in a winding mountain is mainly formed by digging stone holes between cliffs and cliffs, embedding beams in the holes, and laying wooden boards on the beams. When people walk on it, one side is rocky with concave and convex cliffs, and the other side is a cliff that drops thousands of feet. When the mountain wind blows, it feels even more shaky and unstable.Those who are courageous will feel frightened at every step; those who are timid will find it difficult to move an inch.

When Xu Ziling first experienced the wonderful scene, he was suddenly in a cheerful mood, and washed away the unpleasant mood caused by Shi Feixuan.Along the way, there are endless wonders, which are extremely pleasing to the eye. With the mood of sightseeing in the mountains, he admired the deep mountains and high mountains, strange peaks and rocks covered by wild trees and grass. Spruce, fir, redwood, hemlock and other various fir trees are mixed with ginkgo, fragrant fruit trees and tung trees to form an ever-changing natural ecology.Not only is it a paradise for birds, but there are also golden monkeys, macaques, wildebeests, and tufted deer, which are full of vitality.After turning a corner, the scenery changed again.

First, the sound of water waterfalls roared, and as the space of the plank road continued to open, bursts of water vapor rushed towards the face. I saw a waterfall in the mist of the mountains and rivers, like a dragon coming out of a cave, gushing down from the cliff cave, reaching At the bottom of the cliff, there is a tumbling torrent, and then rushes away along the mountain, which is spectacular. Xu Ziling was so intoxicated watching it, he stopped to watch quietly with his hands behind his back, he felt his whole person's energy and energy soaring infinitely, and united with Wanhuaming.

In this momentary scene, he has no distinction between inside and outside. Man is nature, and nature is man. All struggles and vendettas become insignificant in front of this natural spectacle. At this moment, a familiar voice came to my ears, saying: "We must be very destined to meet Brother Xu here." Xu Ziling is still looking down at the mountain stream formed by waterfalls under the cliff. First, it converges into more than ten pools of different sizes.He smiled and said, "Of course it's a special fate. I wonder if Brother Hou is going to leave Sichuan or enter Sichuan?"

Hou Xibai walked slowly along the plank road, gently shaking the beauty fan in his hand, with an indescribably personable and unrestrained style. Xu Ziling secretly sighed in his heart, if he fought here, neither side would have a way out, and the matter could only be settled after one side was defeated.At the same time, he secretly blamed himself for being careless, since he left Yangzhou, he has been ignoring this young master of the Huajian School. In fact, he just waited secretly, looking for a good opportunity like this one. Did Concubine Shixuan not want to enter Sichuan with her because he was nearby?Listening to Shi Feixuan's tone, she only has good feelings for Hou Xibai but no bad feelings.

Hou Xibai stopped a few feet away from him, and said without hesitation: "When King Zhou Xian was in power, King Qin Hui wanted to destroy Shu, but he didn't know where to attack, so he ordered people to make five stone oxen and spread gold powder on them. In Niuwei, it was falsely claimed that cattle can excrete gold, and sent the cattle to the king of Shu. The king of Shu was overjoyed and ordered people to build a plank road to welcome the golden bull. The Qin army finally invaded Shu along the Jinniu plank road and destroyed the kingdom of Shu. Is this road the Sichuan Who is the chief culprit who brings disasters on people?"

Xu Ziling looked back at the plank road that went down the winding mountain when he came, and said calmly: "Later, Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan', and Jiang Wei's 'nine expeditions to the Central Plains'. They also sent troops along this road. It can be seen that the crime is not in the Jinniu Road, but in the Jinniu Road. This person, Brother Hou thinks so or not." "Whoosh"! Hou Xibai opened the beauty fan, inciting it again and again, with different speeds, but seemed to follow a certain rhythm hidden in the irregularity, as if it was very elusive but impossible to grasp, it felt extremely weird.

Surprised: "Unexpectedly, Brother Xu is so familiar with the history of Sichuan and Shu. You can know that the plank road we have set up has been rebuilt many times. The oldest Jinniu Road starts in Meixian County, Shaanxi, and enters Hanzhong through the Xiegu and Baogu plank roads. , then leave Mian County in the west, enter Sichuan through Yangping Pass, pass through Qingchuan, Jiange, Zitong, and Mianyang and arrive in Chengdu. Now the section from Hanzhong to Shu has been changed from Ningqiang to Qipan Pass. It is this section that made Brother Xu stop and admire. It seems to be a dangerous path to ascend to the immortal."

Hou Xibai took a step forward and narrowed the distance between the two to eight feet. The beauty fan still shook every now and then, making the sound of "Huo! Huo!", and the fan facing Xu Ziling was exactly Xiao Wei. A wonderful, moving portrait of her ethereal nature.In one corner, there is still Shang Xiufang, a famous courtesan with various styles and charms. Xu Ziling stood with his hands behind his back, and seeing that Hou Xibai did not answer, he continued, "It seems that Brother Hou is unwilling to answer this question. My little brother suddenly had a whim, assuming that one of us suddenly became immortal, I guarantee that no one in the world will know."

Hou Xibai laughed dumbly and said: "Brother Xu's idea is very interesting. I only hate that there is no door in the fairy world, and I won't open it for others casually. Brother Xu is afraid that the dream will come to nothing!" A careless smile emerged from the corner of Xu Ziling's mouth, and he said calmly: "Is there a door or no door in the fairy world, or even whether there is a fairy world or an afterlife? My little brother has never had any imagination or expectation at all, so how can a good dream come to nothing. Even for Life and death, everyone in Xu is very indifferent, is Hou brother interested in giving it a try?"

Hou Xibai's expression finally changed, his eyes lit up sharply, and the rhythm of the fan's blowing became more complicated, but it was still not chaotic at all. If it hadn't been for Xu Ziling who was listening to him, he might have been unable to resist the rush to strike first if he had been replaced by a second-level master. . Kou Zhong lay on his back on the bed, but he couldn't sleep peacefully, staring straight at the top of the cabin, his mind was racing. He was thinking about his relationship with Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei can be said to be the first person who thinks highly of himself, and thinks that he is qualified to inherit his incense and career, but for various reasons, he refuses his kindness. Back then, he was willing to let Kou Zhong leave Liyang, which showed his extraordinary courage and revealed a sincere affection that did not match his style. His reward, Kou Zhong, was to stick to Jingling for ten days and ten nights, so that Du Fuwei could only win miserably. Today, he is going to destroy Du Fuwei's plan to attack Jiangdu again, and it makes people feel sad and helpless to think about it. His beloved general named Chen Sheng is a complete stranger to Kou Zhong.There was no injustice in the past, and there is no hatred in the near future.But tonight he wants to do everything possible to put him to death, so as to arouse Du Fuwei's anger, all for the sake of hegemony.Therefore, do whatever it takes to do anything.Fighting for the world is exactly such a thing. well! However, if the events of that year were repeated again, he would still reject Du Fuwei's kindness and proposal. The real reason is that Du Fuwei is too unpopular, and he is even more unwilling to make things happen because of people. Thinking of this, Kou Zhong jumped out of bed, and ordered the servants waiting outside the door to call Chen Changlin, Bu Tianzhi and others to have a meeting. Xu Ziling had a feeling, turned his tiger's body away quickly, and turned to face Hou Xibai who was standing on the plank road eight feet ahead of him. Their eyes met, and the two looked at each other without giving in. Hou Xibai stopped shaking the fan, put it behind his back, nodded and said: "Brother Xu is so clever that I am surprised." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Everyone!" Neither of them spoke politely. In fact, since Hou Xibai raised his voice, the two had already confronted each other head-on.But Xu Ziling was a little lucky. At that time, because of the beautiful scenery of the mountain waterfall on the other side, his mind and myriad transformations were seamlessly integrated, and he entered the ultimate state of no one and no self, forgetting the inside and the outside, which was deeply in line with the purpose of "The Secret of Longevity". Qi Yungong, but all the orifices in the body are full of life.The innate zhenqi flows naturally, without any flaws in the whole body. Hou Xibai chose to appear here because he wanted to take advantage of the rushing force of the waterfall and the loud noise to cover up the vibrations and microsounds caused by his stepping on the plank road; A formidable enemy who can rival himself in many ways. The footwork he pressed down from the slanting plank road in the winding mountain, and the rhythm of fanning and fanning, all of them imply the principle of mysterious law. As long as Xu Ziling is a little distracted by it, he will attack with all his strength.Even if you are injured, you have to kill the opponent in this unavoidable and unavoidable environment. Unexpectedly, not only was Xu Ziling not affected by him at all, but he still remained in that inexplicable and inexplicable state that surprised him, implying in his words that life and death had long been ignored, making him feel that if he tried to act forcefully, it would only be a dead end. That's why he sincerely admired Xu Ziling. For Xu Ziling, Hou Xibai also gave him no room to take advantage of, so he dared not turn around for a while, for fear of losing his mind. The rhythm of Hou Xibai's fan shaking should be a magic technique similar to Zhu Yuyan's magic sound power. If it is not good, it will affect the opponent's terrible attack.Until Hou Xibai felt a shock in his heart.He only chose the exact time when the opponent turned around between the two notes of the shake; he completed it at the exact moment when the opponent's beauty fan was completely shaken. This kind of precise grasp of the opponent's fan-shaking rhythm, which sounds chaotic, waits for Ruo to completely break this fan-shaking skill. It can be seen from this that Hou Xibai has always hidden his true strength, so he can respond "to each other". Xu Ziling still held his hands behind his back, standing proudly, his eyes fixed on the opponent, but his aura continued to accumulate and expand, assuming a tough posture of letting go and fighting at any time. Hou Xibai still had that unrestrained and unrestrained appearance, but he stood upright like a mountain, giving birth to a icy and icy air whirlpool, restraining his opponent from a distance, and he had the aura to sweep the world. A smile escaped from the corner of Xu Ziling's mouth, and he said calmly, "Brother Hou happened to meet me in Sichuan, or did he know that I would enter Sichuan?" Hou Xibai replied while watching the opponent's opening, "This matter is extremely complicated, but it has a lot to do with Qingxuan. What do you think, Brother Xu?" Xu Ziling cried out secretly. You must know that if you do your hands on the plank road, no bodywork or footwork will come in handy.There is only one way to go all out. Even though there is a difference in martial arts between the two, they are not far behind.Therefore, various methods must be used to weaken the opponent's fighting spirit and distract his mind, in order to succeed in one blow. These few words of Hou Xibai have exactly this effect. If Xu Ziling is distracted from thinking because of the word "complicated", and Hou Xibai calls "Qingxuan" secretly, making people feel that his relationship with Shi Qingxuan is complicated and confusing, then he will fall into the trap. Fortunately, he is more indifferent to the gains and losses of men and women than others, so he didn't react too much, instead he smiled and said: "Brother Hou, I know that before I went to the mountain, I just chatted with Miss Shi all night." This is called treating others in the same way as others, and it implies that Shi Feixuan is nearby. According to Xu Ziling's analysis, the reason why Hou Xibai chose to intercept him here must have been obtained from the Yangtze River Union, because Yun Yuzhen had a secret relationship with Zheng Shuming of the Yangtze River United, and Hou Xibai's methods of dealing with women added to this. possibility. Hou Xibai was really slightly taken aback. How could Xu Ziling let go of this great opportunity that he had worked so hard to manage, bully himself to make progress, and hit hard with one punch. Hou Xibai didn't pull out the fan, but just clasped his palms together to form a knife, and slashed with his left hand. "Peng"! Fight with vigor. Both of them fell back like an electric shock, pulling the distance to more than ten feet away. Hou Xibai showed an incomparably dignified expression, and shouted, "Why not the spiral energy?" Xu Ziling suppressed the churning blood and was also secretly startled.If the opponent hadn't misunderstood that he was using spiral strength, he would have suffered a hidden loss just in this fight. I have created all kinds of favorable situations, but I still ended up in a tie.It can be seen that Hou Xibai's true strength is at least still higher than his.What's more, Hou Xibai hasn't released his fan yet. Slightly smiled and said: "How come Brother Hou didn't use the extraordinary skill of the Immortal Seal?" Hou Xibai's eyes shot out an unprecedented fierce look, and he said in a deep voice, "Did Feixuan tell you?" Xu Ziling resisted his increasingly fierce aura, and said, "Just from this, I know that Brother Hou has not had a chance to contact Shi Qingxuan, otherwise, he might mistakenly guess that she told me?" Hou Xibai replied calmly, and said with a smile: "But it can also be the Fangju where I just visited her, right?" Xu Ziling smiled and said, "That's right!" The two palms were pushed out at the same time, and there was a rush of madness, rolling towards Hou Xibai. The soldiers are working hard, but the cabin is full of lazy and calm atmosphere in the afternoon. After Kou Zhongguang glanced over Bu Tianzhi, Chen Laomou, Luo Qifei, and Chen Changlin, he pondered for a while before slowly saying: "I have two things that I want to discuss with you all." Everyone knew that he had more to say, and they all waited quietly. Kou Zhong showed a thoughtful look, and said: "Tonight we only need to wound Chen Sheng instead of killing him. I want to use Chen Sheng's mouth to tell Du Fuwei who injured him." Bu Tianzhi said: "There is no problem with this. As long as we manage to burn a few more boats, it will be enough to arouse Du Fuwei's anger." Chen Changlin said: "Chen Sheng should know Gu Jun, if he finds a flaw, all previous efforts will be in vain." Chen Laomou interjected: "The appearance is fine. When it's chaotic, as long as there are five or six points of similarity, can Changlin describe his general appearance for my reference?" Chen Changlin nodded in agreement, but said: "Gu Jun uses the gun in a very special way, if Chen Sheng has seen it before, he will definitely be able to tell the difference." Bu Tianzhi asked: "Have you seen it?" Chen Changlin shot a deep hatred in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Not only have I seen it, but I have also experienced it." Everyone listened to what he said, so they knew that he had fought against Gu Jun, and maybe he had suffered a disadvantage. Kou Zhongxi said: "That's it! As long as one or two percent has been learned, Chen Sheng will still mistakenly think that Gu Jun deliberately concealed his martial arts." After a pause, he continued: "The other thing is to avenge brother Chang Lin and kill Shen Lun. But Shen Faxing must be made to think that Du Fuwei killed him, then their knot will never be untied .” Luo Qifei said: "Chang Lin and I have thought about this over and over again, and we both thought that as long as Du Fuwei planned to attack Shen Lun, we would ambush from the side the moment Shen Lun retreated, and all the blame would be on Du Fuwei. Go, the difficulty is the coordination of the location and time.” Kou Zhong pondered: "Supposing Chen Sheng was injured in an attack, Du Fuwei retreated instead of advancing, retreated in Qingliu and redeployed, it would be terrible, so we have to do something later, forcing Lao Du not to dare to procrastinate. " Bu Tianzhi frowned and said, "Is there any way to make Du Fuwei think that Shen Lun betrayed him to Li Zitong? Therefore, Lao Du must make a quick decision and defeat one of the forces first, otherwise he will fall into a situation where he is attacked on both sides." .” Kou Zhong clapped his legs and praised: "It's just a matter of raising one's hand. Immediately send someone to send a message to Li Zitong, and this guy immediately spread rumors that Shen Faxing has made peace with him. If this rumor can be spread before Chen Sheng is attacked Entering Lao Du's ears will make him believe even more." Then he stood up, stretched his waist and said: "Today I can really have a good sleep!"
