Devil Sword in Jianghu - Chapter 621
Dugu Xiao and the five Wolves of Taihang, together with more than a dozen disciples of the earthly Pavilion, are already close to the point of Cang.
The vast 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain are adjacent to Erhai Lake in the East, and eighteen streams in the canyon run to Erhai Lake.
The distance is vast, the mountains are undulating, and the unique silence in the mountains makes people feel smooth. Dugu Xiao and others then hid in the woods and quietly looked at the vast mountains ahead.
The peak is covered with snow, clouds and fog, and below the hillside is the boundless and green forest, green and undulating.
“Childe, now you have entered the boundless land. Xu Zhengyuan and others must have returned to the seven Jue palace. Childe, look…”
It was a middle-aged man in royal clothes who was directly assigned by Dugu Cheng to follow him and perform this task with Dugu Xiao.
Dugu smiled coldly at him and didn’t answer. Then he looked at the sinking sun and said, “find a place to settle down first. Now that you have reached the heaven, you don’t have to worry too much.”
The man in royal clothes is named Liu Ren. He is cautious and smooth. The reason why Dugu Cheng asked him to follow him was that Dugu Cheng was afraid of laughing too impulsively.
This time, Dugu Xiao came to DIANCANG to find out whether DIANCANG has anything to do with the Tianmo sect. Whether he has it or not, he can’t scare the snake. Therefore, we must be careful not to easily expose our whereabouts.
Fortunately, it’s very simple to hide in this vast green mountain with lush trees.
Liu Ren bowed and said, “don’t worry, young master. My subordinates have inquired about the surrounding environment. There is a cave about five miles west, which is just enough for us to stay for the time being. The dry food brought by the disciples should last for a few days. ”
Dugu smiled: “OK, lead the way! Even if the dry food is gone, you can hunt in the deep mountains and you won’t starve. ”
Although Liu Ren was appointed by Dugu Cheng, he was still respectful and modest in front of Dugu Xiao.
“Yes, you are considerate.”
Say it and walk ahead. There are thorns in the deep mountain. There is no road at all. The two disciples waved their long swords and cut through thorns and thorns to make a way.
The party walked along the newly opened road. Soon, they came to a canyon. A stream meandered eastward from the canyon. In the canyon, there are jagged rocks and sparse trees. On a smooth cliff, a waterfall falls from the sky like a jade belt, which falls on the prominent stone wall and immediately turns into thousands of water droplets, forming a misty water mist.
The stream twists and turns. It passes under the stone wall at the foot of the mountain. It turns into a cave under the stone wall. It breaks through the wall more than ten feet later. It is really a wonder.
When he came to the stone wall, the man in royal clothes looked up at the water mist and said, “the cave is below here. It’s deserted. No one will come. It’s a quiet place.”
Then he went to the stone wall and saw him close to the stone wall. With a flash, he disappeared.
It turned out that the entrance of the cave was also very hidden, that is, it was on the stream. After entering, it was very wide, enough to accommodate hundreds of people. And I don’t know how far it extends inside, complex and strange.
The stream flows outside, but it’s very dry and cool inside. It’s really a pleasant place.
More than 20 people immediately lived in the cave. Several disciples went out to pick up a lot of dry firewood, beat a few rabbits and pheasants, washed and stripped them in the stream, made a fire and barbecued in the cave. The cave was wide, and there were no people smoked by fire.
After more than ten days of driving down the road, everyone was a little tired. After eating dry food and game, they found a place to sleep.
The night was getting dark. More than 20 people in the cave had fallen asleep, leaving only two disciples to guard in the canyon in case of accidents.
More than 20 people have gone for dozens of miles. It’s deserted here. Where will anyone come? One of the two disciples sat on a branch and was sleepy, while the other leaned on a boulder and was bored.
If Liu Ren hadn’t appointed them to come out to guard, they wouldn’t be bothered to suffer from the mosquito bite outside.
The mountains were more silent late at night, and occasionally unknown beasts issued a deep roar and came from afar. They didn’t care. If the beast came, it wouldn’t be so boring.
Suddenly, they both felt a chill!
This is not the coolness brought by the night wind in the mountains, but a coolness that rises from your back involuntarily.
The man in the tree flew down and quickly came to the companion standing on the boulder. He asked in a deep voice, “what did you feel just now?”
“Shua Shua” twice, two long swords came out of their scabbard, and the blade of the sword faintly glowed under the waning moon.
The two watched with vigilance. Although the moonlight was hazy, with their eyesight, any wind and grass within a radius of ten feet could not escape their eyes.
But they looked carefully for two times and found nothing.
The two people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. Their mood gradually relaxed, and the long sword held in their hands slowly dropped.
“Maybe it’s an illusion?”
The man leaning on the boulder said suspiciously.
“No, I didn’t see anything. I felt a chill on my back. Did you see anything?”
”I didn’t see it either, but somehow I felt a burst of cold on my back“
They didn’t say it was OK. When they said this, they felt cold again, and immediately raised their long sword and looked left and right.
“Keep the change, here!”
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind, just like the voice of an underground ghost. It was very frightening.
They almost didn’t get down. In the middle of the night, they suddenly heard such a voice in the wilderness. It still came from behind them. If they were timid, they were afraid to die on the spot.
A faint figure rose slowly behind him and reflected on the rubble in front of him. The chill behind them was even worse.
With a loud cry, they immediately jumped up, jumped more than a foot, and suddenly turned to look.
I saw a man in black standing on the boulder they had just leaned against, with a pale baby smiling face mask on his face, a long sword in his hand, and his eyes behind the mask were looking at them coldly.
“Who are you?”
A man with courage, raised his long sword, pointed at the man in black and shouted.
The man in Black said coldly, “the man who asks for his life!”
In the sound of words, I saw him floating like a ghost, the cold light in his hand flashed, and the long sword came out of its scabbard.
They clearly felt that the speed of his flying was very slow, but they could not avoid it. Two cold lights flashed. With two low groans, their eyes bulged and their long swords fell to the ground. They turned their heads and looked at the back of the man in black standing not far away. They couldn’t say a word, so they fell to the ground at the same time.
The man in black slowly put his sword into the scabbard, turned his head and looked at the cave where Dugu Xiao and others were hiding. His arms flew up for a while, and several ups and downs disappeared into the night.
Among the rocks in the night, there were two more bodies silently, both of which were sealed by a sword.
Dugu Xiao, who was meditating and practicing martial arts, suddenly woke up. He seemed to hear a frightened cry.
He immediately got up and walked outside the cave. Then he saw a black figure flying away, and the two disciples on duty slowly softened to the ground.
He was suddenly surprised, but the man in black castrated very quickly and disappeared into the night.
Liu Ren and the five Wolves of Taihang were also awakened one after another and walked outside the cave. Dugu Xiao was standing next to the two bodies without saying a word.
Several people came to Dugu Xiao’s side and saw the two corpses lying on the ground, staring at each other, looking very frightened. Obviously, they saw something that made them feel very scared before they died.
When Liu Ren saw the two bodies on the ground, he was slightly surprised and said in a deep voice, “who killed them“
Dugu smiled and looked at the direction where the man in black disappeared. He said in a cold voice, “don’t you think it’s very secret here? No one will come at all? What’s going on? ”
Liu Ren bowed and said, “it’s my subordinates’ negligence! It seems that we have long been watched! ”
The five Wolves of Taihang have just joined the earthly Pavilion. They are eager to perform well in front of their masters.
Xiao Sirius waved the nine ring mountain knife in his hand and said, “young master, which direction did the sneak attacker run in? My subordinates went to bring him and let the young master fall.”
Dugu Xiao didn’t even look at him, so he said coldly, “if I can catch up with him, can I let him run in front of me?”
Xiao Sirius thought to himself, “yes, the childe was the first to be alert, but he didn’t chase it, which means that the man had already run away.”
So he said, “shameless rats, what kind of hero is a sneak attack!”
Dugu Xiaoxiao ignored him, but looked at Liu Ren.
Liu Ren said, “childe, it seems that our whereabouts have been exposed and we must leave overnight! The identity of the man who secretly attacked is unknown. We can’t be careless. ”
Dugu said with a sneer: “what identity is unknown? This is the boundary of Dian Cang. Who else can kill people here without being aware of ghosts? ”
Liu Ren said, “that being said, we’d better not disturb the Cang sect before we have no evidence.”
Dugu Xiaoxin was not convinced, but Liu Ren was appointed by his father to help him investigate whether Dian Cang had anything to do with the Tianmo sect. In fact, he was sent to monitor himself and restrict his actions.
So he said, “in your opinion, what should we do?”
Liu Ren said, “wake up the disciples, bury the two bodies on the spot, and then evacuate here.”
Flying wolf hurried back to the cave to wake up the sleeping disciples of the dust edge Pavilion. Dugu smiled without any emotion and said, “where do you think we should withdraw“
“After crossing this mountain, the lotus peak is in front of us. There is a Lotus Temple on the lotus peak. The Lord and his subordinates are old acquaintances, so we go there and settle down. Yu Qingzi, the leader of the Lotus Temple, has excellent martial arts, and all the disciples in the temple are good at it. Even if someone wants to attack there, it’s not so easy. ”
Liu Ren was still respectful and spoke his mind.
Dugu smiled calmly and said, “OK, I’ll listen to you again“
When the body was about to be buried, the party took advantage of the night to go south.
