Cranes and Blazing Sun - C43
Liu Zhilin said, “Life and death are really quick for these people. We just had a little idea about the treasure and they forced us to go find Bai Yingjian. Their goal is obvious, they want us to have no time to think about the treasure. They want to move the treasure. ” Zhang Qingyun agreed, “That’s right, we definitely can’t let their scheme succeed. Now we will split up, and Brother Lin, Sect Leader, you and the two ladies will be in charge of finding the treasure. Fei’Er and I will go look for Bai Yingjian and find the Dugu Witch.”
For example, Huizhu said, “Finding Lu Shan is not an easy matter, just Sect Leader Zhang and me, aren’t we too few in manpower? How about Young Master Liu and Lady Gu help you, and with one more person with more tricks, then we can leave this to Miss Bai and myself.” Liu Zhilin also said with great worry, “Brother Yun, right, let us go with you to look for Miss Lu.” Zhang Qingyun said, “Senior Lu has been missing in the martial arts world for more than 20 years. Right now, it is hard to say if they will be able to find it. However, on your side, this treasure trove is related to Wu Lin’s life vein. If they were to snatch it away like this with the ‘Life and Death Token’, the consequences would be unimaginable. Who knew how many martial arts friends had been assassinated by them? “And since you’ve found the treasure, you might be able to find the place where Tingting was locked in, so you have more people here, one more person means a better chance of winning.”
Bai Wenfei said, “Sect Leader Zhang is right. We should find the treasures on this side and save Miss Lei. As for them, they shouldn’t look for Bai Yingjian.” Ru Huizhu said, “That’s right. Then we will do as Sect Leader Zhang says. After breakfast, we will set out.” After everyone had finished their breakfast, Miao Zhang and Wang Yan said their goodbyes one by one. Seeing that Lu Huizhu and the rest had left the inn, Miao Rufei couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Qingyun, what can you do? Where should we go?” Staring into the distance in a daze, he had no idea what to do.
Suddenly, a pair of darts flew in from outside the door. Seeing the dart fly straight towards Zhang Qingyun’s head, Miao Rufei saw him sitting there dumbly without any reaction, as if he was lost in thought. She hurriedly picked up a stool and smashed it onto the dart, shouting loudly, “Brother Qingyun, there’s a concealed weapon! Be careful!” Zhang Qing’s expression suddenly changed, and he turned around abruptly. He stretched out his arm and caught the flying dart with two of his fingers. Miao Rufei’s flying dart was a step too slow, and the chair was just about to leave. The dart just happened to fly over the stool. He was caught by Zhang Qingyun. Zhang Qingyun immediately rushed to the door of the inn and looked around. He saw many people walking on the street, and Miao Rufei had also caught up with them. “Brother Qingyun, did you see who it was?” Zhang Qingyun shook his head, “I didn’t see it, there are too many people on this street, no matter who threw a dart here, it would be hard to find out who threw it when they hid themselves in the crowd.”
Seeing that there seemed to be something on the dart, Miao Rufei hurriedly said, “Big brother Qingyun, don’t throw it, there seems to be something on this dart.” Zhang Qingyun was stunned, he looked down, and sure enough, it looked like there was someone on top with a white dot, his fingers hurriedly pinched the dart, and before the dart landed on the ground, he caught it and took a closer look, only to see that there was a piece of white paper imprinted on the dart’s body. If one didn’t pay attention to it, it would be very difficult to discover it.
Zhang Qingyun was surprised, and said, “Who is this person, how did he know that the Baiying Sword is at the Golden Summit of the Snowy Peak Mountain, and why did he want to help us?” After thinking about it for a while, Miao Ruofei took the dart and also looked at it carefully, but other than the small print, there was nothing on the escort. She said, “The owner of this dart does not seem to have good intentions. Miao Rufei knew it was her master’s men, so she pretended to be surprised and said, “The people from the Life and Death Command Plate, that’s impossible. Since they already know where Bai Yingjian is, why didn’t they send people to look for him themselves? Zhang Qingyun pondered for a moment and said: “That’s very easy to explain, there is a possibility that Bai Yingjian is still in Senior Lu’s hands, and Senior Lu knows what they are, so he wouldn’t give them the sword. Also, the Life and Death Token is trying everything to try to take the Bai Yingjian from Senior Lu, but no matter what it takes, it is impossible to take it away from Senior Lu, and since they saw my identity, they tried their best to help us take it away from Senior Lu. They know that if I wanted it, Senior Lu might do this to repay our kindness, but why wouldn’t she be willing to give up a Bai Yingjian?” Miao Rufei said, “Their intentions were so vicious, they actually used someone else’s heart to repay their gratitude. That means this news is real.” Zhang Qingyun said, “There’s no mistake, the distance from here to the Snow Peak is not far. Let’s start our journey right now.”
They arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain in two days. The mountain range was endless and there were many peaks on it. It was unknown which one was the peak of the mountain. Miao Rufei said, “Brother Qing Yun, there are so many mountains here. We don’t know where to go to get to the Golden Summit. Why don’t we go to the town and ask how we’re going to get to the Golden Summit?” Zhang Qingyun thought to himself that he was not familiar with this place, most of the locals here would probably know the way to the peak of the Golden Summit, so asking about it in the town was much better than walking around randomly for the two of them, so he immediately said, “Awesome, Fei’er, let’s find an inn to eat first and find out the way to the peak.” Miao Rufei said, “Alright, let’s go.”
The two of them rode their horses into the town of Yunxiang and found a Fortune Inn. When they entered, the waiter immediately came out and said, “The two of you, please come in.” Help the two of them tie their horses to the piles. The two of them found a seat and sat down. The waiter cordially asked, “Two guests.” If you want something to eat, just give us three or four dishes. “The waiter said,” Sure, “then turned around and left. Zhang Qingyun said,” Second brother, please wait. ” The waiter turned around and said, “What other orders do you have, sir?” Zhang Qingyun said, “Second brother, are there any mountains around here called the peak of Jin?” The waiter’s face changed, he sized up the two of them and said, “You two aren’t locals, right?” Seeing that his eyes had become strange, Miao Rufei became cautious, “Second brother, you have good eyesight. My brother and I heard that there is a golden peak nearby, and the scenery is very beautiful, so we came to pay our respects.” “Please inform the way, second brother.”
The waiter said, “Esteemed customers, I don’t know who told you this, but you’ve been fooled badly by this person.” Zhang Qingyun was surprised, “We were deceived, is there no peak of gold nearby?” The waiter said, “That’s not true, there is a peak of gold there, but the one that deceived you two to ascend to the peak of the Golden Crown is definitely harming you two. Aren’t you two here for fun? Why would you want to go to the peak of Jinshan? “Miao Rufei laughed,” Do you want to say that the peak is particularly dangerous and you can’t go to the peak at all? Thank you, second brother, my brother and I have been practicing some martial arts and not being afraid, “the waiter said solemnly,” I was not trying to say that, but you should listen to me, and don’t go to the peak of Jinshan. It’s not easy to go there, but people can go there, “Miao Ruofei said,” You can’t just go there, second brother, you’re scaring us both, what’s going on? “The waiter said,” We’ve been talking about this for more than twenty years, but there’s nothing on Jinxing, but at night, there’s a lot of people eating stones, no matter who they eat. After that, no one dared to go in again. ” Miao Rufei was surprised and she said, “You can eat people even if you eat stones. Second brother, did you personally see that?” This was truly an ancient and wondrous story. There’s nothing wrong with that, “the waiter said,” That day when I wasn’t at home and the people were still young, I didn’t dare to go there and take a look. I didn’t see them myself, but I heard the villagers say so when they came back, so it can’t be fake, right? The stones stood in the way of the High Golden Peak. As soon as a living thing entered, the stones would move and rush over to eat it. “This is too scary, I think it would be better to not go.” Miao Rufei asked, “Is there any other way to get to Jinfeng that scary?” The waiter replied, “No, this is the only road. The other three sides are cliffs.” Zhang Qingyun saw that the waiter’s face was serious, and he thought to himself, “How could there be such a strange thing like this? Stones can eat people, but how can there be such a strange thing like this?” Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, “Thank you, second brother, we just heard that there was such a strange stone under Jin Peak. We came here to see it, so you can help us pass it on first.”
The waiter smiled and said, “Esteemed customers, I’m really sorry. Just look at how I forgot to pass the dishes to you.” He turned around and walked towards the inner hall. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, “You two have heard this little one’s advice and would like to see it. But don’t get too close, it could lead to your deaths. Take it as very dangerous.” Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, “Thank you, second brother. We definitely won’t go too close, because we won’t risk our lives to make a joke.” “That’s for the best.” The waiter turned and walked into the inner hall.
“Big brother Qing Yun, do you think there is really a man-eating stone here?” Zhang Qingyun asked, “How can there be man-eating stones, isn’t that the same as becoming a Stone Demon? However, there must be someone doing something to stop the villagers from going up to the peak, and didn’t the second brother just say that the man-eating stones suddenly gave birth to these man-eating stones on a night that had been twenty years ago? And Senior Lu also went missing for over twenty years, so there might be a connection between the two. If Stone doesn’t eat people, the two of us will find out after we finish eating. ” Miao Rufei smiled and said, “True.” I’d like to see how stones eat people. ” After a while, the waiter came up with four dishes and placed them on the table. The two of them casually ate a little and asked the waiter to come and collect the money, and also asked for the route to Jin Feng Peak. The two of them hurriedly walked up to Jin Feng Peak, and while the waiter was packing up the dishes and chopsticks, he shook his head and said, “Hey, two nice strangers, how could they be crazy. They have to go to Jin Feng, I hope they’re lucky and come back safely.”
Zhang Miao and Wang Chao walked to the foot of the peak and looked up. They didn’t feel anything strange. Miao Rufei said, “This waiter is really scary. Where did the man-eating stone come from?” They did not go far. Zhang Qingyun suddenly discovered a large piece of flat land in front of him. The flat land was piled up with large piles of rocks. Each pile was about ten meters tall and ten meters wide. Zhang Qingyun asked, “Are these piles of rocks the man-eating rocks?” Miao Rufei looked carefully at the spot where the rocks were not piled and found it to be very messy. She said, “These are not some man-eating stones, but I can see that there is a very dangerous array formation here,” Zhang Qingyun said. “Fei’er, can you see what this array is?” Miao Rufei frowned and said, “I can’t see it from the outside.” This formation is very dangerous, “Zhang Qingyun said,” Then let’s go inside and break this formation. Miao Rufei said, “Big brother Qing Yun, don’t go inside. This formation is even more dangerous than we thought.”
Zhang Qingyun continued, “Then what should we do? Are we blocked by these rocks?” Miao Rufei asked, “Let me try it out first. Didn’t the waiter say these rocks could move?” As expected, the pile of stones slowly moved inside, and Zhang Qingyun said, “Fei’er. “Wait for me.” He leaped up. He flew up onto the pile of rocks. Compared to Miao Rufei, he was much faster in terms of speed, so he flew up and landed on top of her. The two of them stood on top of a pile of rocks at the same time. The pile of rocks moved faster and faster. When it reached the middle, it suddenly stopped for a moment. With a few loud noises, hundreds of piles of stones like these all began to move. In an instant, sand and dust rolled about, blurring the eyes of the two people. Zhang Qingyun exerted his eyesight. He saw that all the rocks in the field were rotating. Some had instantaneous needles, some were in reverse, while some were moving internally and externally. He couldn’t help but ask, “Fei’er, can you tell what formation this is?” Miao Rufei covered her eyes with her sleeve and said, “Big brother Qingyun, there’s so much dust. I can’t see it at all, it looks like a battle formation.” Every pile of rocks is changing, “Zhang Qingyun said,” What should we do now? Miao Rufei said, “Big Brother Qing Yun, if we march and fight like this, then we will be the first to capture the thief and the king. Look at the pile of stones, they will probably stop as long as we destroy them.” Zhang Qingyun said, “Okay, let me take a look at the four of them.” He then looked around and said, “Fei’er, there’s no pile of rocks like you said. All of them are moving.” Miao Rufei swept the dust away with her sleeve. The rocks moved extremely fast, but they didn’t collide with each other. She thought to herself, “This formation is really exquisite.” Zhang Qingyun leaped up, and with a flash of his sword, he slashed towards a pile of rocks. The tip of her foot tapped on the ground, and she flew back to Miao Rufei’s pile of rocks. Miao Rufei said, “Big Brother Qingyun, it is useless to strike like that, there are hundreds of piles of stones here, no matter how sharp the sword is, it will be broken. This formation contains the change of Yin and Yang, the stone in the east is rotated in a circular pattern, while in the west is another circular pattern. This formation matches the numbers of the heavens and the earth. This formation is extremely profound. “
