The five of them had been practicing Qi in the woods for half an hour, and were about to finish their work when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves "tick-tick-tack-tack" coming from the path outside the forest, stopping outside Old Liu Tou's yard.
"Hey, old man, how do you get to Shouyang Mountain?"
At this time, Old Liu Tou had finished digging the ground and was sitting in the yard shelling corn. When he heard someone asking for directions, he came to the gate of the yard with a smile. He stood across the fence and said to the person asking, "Just follow this path and you'll be there." .”
The questioner wore a gray cloak, a gray wide-brimmed felt hat covering his face, and a strong yellow horse on his hip. Zhu Yu could tell from his accent that this person was Sun Gan, a disciple of Northern Shaolin and the imperial general.
Next to Sun Gan, there was another man wearing a red cloak and a red wide-brimmed felt hat riding a horse, followed by seven or eight people on horseback.
After asking for directions, Sun Gan took the lead and continued to move forward. After a while, the group of people disappeared into the dense forest.
Guessing that Sun Gan and others had gone far, Zhu Yu got down from the tree and called Lan Ling'er, Ling Yazi, Duan Shiqi and Zhang Shijun to quietly leave the forest and come to Lao Liutou's house.
"It seems that the Sun God Cult has invited a lot of helpers. It is really not easy for you to eliminate the Sun God Cult!" Old Liu Tou said worriedly as he brought tea for everyone.
After delivering the tea, Old Liu Tou went to peel his corn outside the courtyard. About a quarter of an hour later, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves "ta, da, da" outside the courtyard. A moment later, someone asked outside the courtyard: " Old man, how to get to Shouyang Mountain?"
Several people looked out from the crack in the door and saw three people riding horses outside the courtyard. The person asking the question was a lean old man in his sixties wearing white clothes. Behind the old man were two heroic young men.
"Duan Teng Gorge Bai Shaofeng, Long Yu, and Long Xiang, why are they even here?" Lan Ling'er said to herself, Zhu Yu hurriedly signaled her not to speak, so as not to be overheard by Bai Shaofeng and others.
"You can reach the mountain just by walking along the way." Old man Liu lowered his head and peeled corn and replied smoothly.
"Hey! You old man, why are you so indifferent when the leader of our Feilong Sect asks you something?" Long Xiang, who was behind him, felt unhappy when he saw the old man being a little negligent.
Old Liu Tou didn't answer, he was still shelling corn silently with his head down.
Seeing that Old Liu Tou ignored him, Long Xiang suddenly became furious and pointed at him from a distance.
Long Xiang wanted to knock Old Liu's head down with one finger and embarrass him, but he never thought that as soon as the finger force reached Old Liu's head, it suddenly bounced back. Long Xiang was unprepared and was hit by the force of the bounce. With a "pop", he fell off his horse.
Long Xiang climbed up from the ground in embarrassment. He was about to have a seizure when he heard Bai Shaofeng say: "Long Xiang, you are no match for him. Let's leave quickly."
Long Xiang climbed on the horse angrily, looked back at Old Liu Tou, and saw that Old Liu Tou was still shelling corn in a hurry. He only regretted that he was not good at martial arts and would not have another attack. He turned around and rode up to catch up with Bai Shao Fenghe. Long Yu.
Old Man Liu showed such proficiency in using force with his hands that Zhu Yu and others were so shocked that they could not recover for a long time. They did not expect that an old farmer from the countryside could have such advanced martial arts. He was truly a capable man behind the scenes. There are capable people.
After hearing Bai Shaofeng and his two disciples walk away, Zhu Yu and others came out of the room, surrounded Old Liu, looking around, making Old Liu raise his head and grin, and said: "I didn't want you to know, I It took a little effort, but that kid bullied others too much, so I can’t help but teach him a lesson.”
"Old Liu Tou, how did you practice your martial arts?" Ling Yazi asked the question that several people wanted to ask.
"I have been in the Sun God Cult for thirty years, and I have secretly learned some kung fu, which made everyone laugh." Old Liu Tou said lightly.
"By the way, Old Liu Tou, why do you want to help us?" Ling Yazi asked.
"Because my whole family was killed by the Sun God Cult, and I was asked to do hard work for them for thirty years. I want to take revenge, but I can't. If someone wants to destroy the Sun God Cult, of course I want to help." Old Liu Tou looked up at the distant blue sky and said sadly.
"So that's it. The Sun God Cult is so hateful, Old Liu Tou. Let's destroy the Sun God Cult together someday." Duan Shiqi said angrily.
In the afternoon, Master Zhizhe, Zhang Lingtian and Mr. Yan returned to Old Liu Tou's yard one after another.
Zhu Yu told the three masters about seeing the Feilong sect and the government general Sun Gan and others going up the mountain.
"Northern Shaolin Yuan Ying and his disciples also went to Shouyang Mountain. It seems that the helpers from the Sun God Sect are here." Mr. Yan said.
"Tomorrow, masters from various factions will come to the foot of the mountain one after another. As soon as everyone arrives, we will go up the mountain and eliminate the Sun God Cult in one fell swoop." Master Wise Man is full of confidence in wiping out the Sun God Cult. "
On the second day, masters from various sects came to the foot of Shouyang Mountain one after another. Yang Rourou led Zhao Zhou, Yun Shan, Lan Tian, Zhao Li, Luo Lin and eight Tianlong Mountain disciples to the foot of the mountain first.
Daoshun of the Wuliang sect and his disciples Dao Zudao and Dao Cong then came to Lao Liu Tou's yard.
Zhu Yu didn't see Lu Liuxiang, so he asked Zui: "Uncle Daozu, doesn't the Wuliang Sect have a disciple named Lu Liuxiang? Why didn't he see her?"
"My sect does have a disciple named Lu Liuxiang, but he is just a lay disciple and has a different path from us." Dao Cong asked strangely.
Zhu Yu felt that this Lu Liuxiang was a bit suspicious, but it was inconvenient to ask further to avoid misunderstanding.
In the afternoon, the wise master made an inspection tour and brought news that Qingcheng Lingshanzi, Linghuazi and Linglinzi had stationed themselves on the west side of the mountain.
In the evening, Wudang Sansou Wufeng Master came to Lao Liutou's yard and said that he and Ersou had found a way up the mountain in the north, and the three of them were going to go up the mountain from that road.
At present, the only one that no one has seen is Master Kong Kong. He likes to walk alone. Maybe he will go up the mountain in the morning.
More than 20 people came to Lao Liutou's yard at once, which seemed extremely lively. Lao Liutou built a simple house in the backyard for everyone to rest, and he also buried pots and cooked with everyone. He was very busy.
In the evening, when Yang Rourou, Master Zhizhe, Master Zhang Lingtian, Mr. Yan and Daoshun were studying the next day's actions, Old Liu Tou pushed the door in from the back room.
Old Liu Tou's eyes flashed, he took out a piece of yellowed kraft paper from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "This is a map of Shouyang Mountain. The seven mountains and thirteen caves, the five shadows and the three guardians' territories are all marked. Gotta be clear.”
Seeing the map, several people felt like they had found a treasure. Although they had visited the mountain before, most of the caves had not yet been explored clearly. Now, Shouyang Mountain can be seen clearly at a glance.
Since the Sun God Cult had already prepared, each faction had to fight quickly. On the second day, everyone headed towards Shouyang Mountain in three directions. Qingcheng Sanzi and Wudang Sansou went up the mountain from the west and north respectively. Yang Rourou led them A large number of people entered the mountain from the south path.
Old Liu Tou walked at the front of the team, followed closely by Zhu Yu and Ling Yazi, followed by Mr. Yan, Dao Shun and others, Yang Rourou and the wise master, and Zhang Lingtian at the rear.
When they arrived at the first pass, everyone discovered that the pass guard had disappeared long ago. It was obvious that they knew that the masters of various factions wanted to go up to the mountain to investigate the crime, so they hid back in the mountain.
Without any obstruction, everyone arrived at the mountain in just half an hour.
Zhu Yu looked up and realized that in front of him, there was a majestic mountain, like a giant lion blocking the way. The high cliffs naturally gathered into a space, like a giant lion with its mouth open, and there were some vague houses inside.
This road is the right way up to Shouyang Mountain. Looking from here, you can see that behind the first high mountain, there are two high mountains, and behind the two high mountains, there are three more high mountains side by side.
Zhu Yu, Ling Ya Zi and Lan Ling'er took a side road before and naturally did not see the majesty of the six mountains arranged in this way.
"Shouyang Mountain has seven peaks. Of the six we saw, the first one is stationed by the third protector Yang Miaoke, the second and third two are the territory of the second protector Yang Di Palace, and the last three belong to the scope of the great protector Yang Tian Palace. , the last mountain that you can’t see is also the highest mountain, where the Shadowless People’s lair is.” Old Liu Tou pointed at several mountains and said.
"Old Liu Tou, how are the thirteen caves distributed?" Mr. Yan asked.
"Each mountain has two caves. I only know one of them. It is said that only the Dharma Protector knows about the other one. It can only be opened at special times. Finally, the peak where the Shadowless Man lives also has a cave. I heard that only The Shadowless Man himself knows it." Old Liu Tou spread his hands and said.
