Everyone was ready that night, and before dawn the next day, everyone gathered in front of the meeting hall to prepare to go down the mountain.
"Zhu Yu, Sister Ling'er, you must pay attention to safety when you go. I will wait for you to come back victorious." Zhang Bei's parents had not recovered from their injuries and had to stay in the mountain to take care of them. He got up early to see Zhu Yu and others off.
"We will come back safely, you have to take care of yourself and your parents." Lan Ling'er held Zhang Bei's hand and said with concern.
After everyone descended to the foot of the mountain, in order to avoid arousing suspicion among the officers and soldiers, and even worried about being discovered by the Sun God Sect, Yang Rourou divided the people into three groups. In the first group, she led the seven or eight leaders of the Tianlong Sect at the front, and in the second group, she Sima Zhen led seven or eight people, all of whom were disciples of Sima Zhen and disciples of the Second Protector Kong Lingyuan who were good at cultivation. Zhu Yu, Lan Tian, Lan Ling'er, Zhao Li, and Luo Lin were behind to hold the formation, and each group set off. The time interval is half an hour.
Horses are the most commonly used means of transportation. Since the journey is far, in order to rush for time, Yang Rourou arranged for each person to ride a fast horse on the road. In the past two years in Tianlong Mountain, Zhu Yu also practiced horseback riding several times, so she was pretty good at riding a horse. smooth.
About half an hour after Sima Zhen and the others left, Lan Tian took the lead and walked out of the forest. The five of them followed the official road and rode quickly.
From Tianlong Mountain to Wudang, it takes seven or eight days to arrive on horseback. The five people did not dare to be lazy and walked all the way. Unknowingly, it was already noon. Several people felt very hungry, so they found a forest and went to the forest. Eat solid food and rest.
After the five people had eaten and drank enough, they each found a tree to rest against. Zhu Yu led the horses outside the woods. There was a small river there with dense green grass growing by the river. The five horses ran into the river and gurgled. Gudu drank enough water, then walked to the river and ate grass.
"Oh, little brother, why is it you? A voice sounded behind Zhu Yu, where are you going?" Zhu Yu looked back and saw three people standing beside him at some point.
Seeing the person coming, Zhu Yu suddenly shouted happily. "Master Wufeng, Master Wuxin, Master Wusi, why are you? Where do you come from?"
Master Wu Xin looked at Zhu Yu sideways and said, "We haven't seen each other for two years. If you don't call us, I almost don't recognize you. How about it? Have you finished learning Tathagata's Powerful Vajra Palm?"
"I can barely use the Powerful Vajra Palm, but the skill is not enough. I will strengthen my internal skills in the future. Master Wuxin, where are you going now?" Zhu Yu asked.
"Hey, I heard that the Sun God Cult picked me, Wudang, and beat dozens of my disciples to death. I'm really angry." Master Wufeng said angrily.
"This time, the relationship between Wudang and the Sun God Sect has become stronger. I will not give up until the Sun God Sect is destroyed!" Master Wu Si said angrily.
After hearing the conversation between several people, Lan Ling'er and others came over and knew that the three old men were Masters Wu Xin, Wu Si, and Wu Feng. Naturally, they were very excited. They surrounded the three people and asked questions. It happened that the three old men were talking and doing things. He never sticks to trivial matters and always answers everyone's questions.
As they talked, the topic came to the Great Netherworld Sutra and the Soul-Chasing Witch.
"You have been searching for the Great Netherworld Sutra and the Soul-Chasing Witch for so many years, but why haven't you found them yet? If so, why haven't you given up yet?" Lan Ling'er asked Sansou.
"The soul-chasing witch killed the fourth of our Wudang elders, Master Wuyu. Our Wudang sect is definitely not done with her. Besides, there are too many martial arts masters in the world who are looking for the Great Netherworld Sutra, and we Wudang also want to get it. Let there be less disputes in the martial arts world." Master Wufeng said.
"Will you kill the soul-chasing witch if you catch her?" Zhu Yu knew that the soul-chasing witch was Master Kongkong's apprentice. Master Kongkong said that if Qiulin was caught, she would be sent to Shaolin to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, so she asked this question .
"Of course we want to kill her and get rid of her once and for all, but that old man Kong Kong asked us to keep her alive. I really don't know if he is an old fool." Master Wuxin shook his head.
"Whether they are old fools or not is another matter, but the two of them are like masters and disciples. Of course the master can't bear to have his disciples killed. What's so surprising about this." Master Wusi said with a smile.
"By the way, it's almost time, we should hit the road." After Master Wufeng finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Master Wusi and Wuxin followed closely behind, and disappeared in an instant.
"Oh, oh, wait for us! Let's go together." When Lan Ling'er saw Master Wufeng saying that he was leaving, he hurriedly shouted, but as soon as she finished speaking, the three of them had already left.
Lan Ling'er waved her hand, shook her head, pouted, and muttered: "The master is the master, and he doesn't care about others."
"You guys should go quickly. We'll see you in two hours." After a while, the five of them heard the voice of Master Wufeng speaking from the front.
"Hey, where did this sound come from? Logically speaking, the three masters are far away from us, so we shouldn't be able to hear what they are saying." Luo Lin, who usually didn't like to talk, asked strangely when he heard the voice.
"This is Master Wufeng's thousand-mile sound transmission technique. It can be heard dozens of miles away. I heard it in the mountains behind the Shaolin Temple." Zhu Yu explained.
Hearing what Zhu Yu said, the four of them couldn't help but sigh. They didn't expect that such skills existed in the world, and they were really ignorant.
The five people led the horses, mounted them, and hurried on. They walked out of the woods. In front of them was an open land where several families lived. In front of and behind the houses, some wheat and several winter crops were planted, because winter was approaching. There was not much work in the fields after the autumn harvest, so there was not a soul in sight. The five people walked along the road and climbed over a slope. In front of them was an endless plain. Wasteland and farmland were mixed on the plain. There were no scattered houses, only villages, and the villages were separated by several miles. , because it was afternoon, only three or two hurried passers-by could be seen occasionally on the road, which was in sharp contrast to the dense villages.
Walking into the plain, the road became wider. The five people speeded up and trotted their horses. Waves of dust were raised on the road.
"Zhu Yu, there is a market town sixty or seventy miles ahead. It is very lively. If we walk for another hour and a half, we can reach it before dark. We can only stay there tonight." Lan Tian passed by this plain several times and said to It's very familiar here.
Zhu Yu lived overseas with his parents in a seaside city before he was four years old. Unfortunately, he was too young at that time. He only has some vague memories now. He has never been to any town since then. He went to Shaolin with Master Kongshi, and from Shaolin to Shaolin. When we arrived at Tianlong Mountain, we took only small roads and never entered a town. This time, we could broaden our horizons.
"Half an hour ago, Master Wufeng said we would meet in two hours. Will they not be able to find us because we are taking the main road?" Lan Ling'er asked worriedly.
"I heard that Master Wufeng among the Five Dang Sansou, although he talks a lot and seems dull, is actually the smartest. He will definitely try to find us, and maybe Sansou is around us. Like enjoying the shade on a certain tree!" Zhao Li's words broke Lan Ling'er's worries, but also caused the four of them to look towards the woods on the mountainside, as if the three old men were resting on a certain tree in the woods.
"Let's go quickly. If we get to the town before dark, we can still take a stroll in the town. After dark, the town will be dark and it won't be fun." Lan Tian said, while hitting the horse hard, Jue Chen And go.
Seeing this, the four of them were unwilling to be outdone and quickly urged their horses forward. Less than an hour and a half later, they arrived at the entrance of a small town.
It is better to say that this is a small town than a city, because the town has a city gate and a city wall more than three feet high that surrounds the town tightly. It can be regarded as a city, but it looks slightly different from an ordinary city. Just small.
The five people dismounted and led their horses into the city. They found that the city was very lively. There were stalls on the streets, selling vegetables, meat, and other goods. There were also restaurants, inns, and other stalls. A pawn shop owner, a drugstore owner...
This was the first time Zhu Yu saw such a scene. He looked around and asked questions, with a strange light shining in his eyes. He did not expect that the city would be like this.
In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Lan Tian asked everyone to walk quickly across the street and led the four of them to a courtyard with a hotel sign.
The waiter was called over. The waiter took the four of them to identify the room, and then took the horses to the backyard to feed them. The four of them found their own rooms respectively. They went into the room to wash their faces and soak their feet. After a short rest, they heard Lan Tian asking the shopkeeper outside the house. When asked which restaurant had delicious food, the restaurant mentioned three or two. Lan Ling remembered it in her heart and knocked on the door of Zhu Yu, Zhao Li and Lan Ling'er's room to call everyone out for dinner.
