It was evening when Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue were preparing to go up the mountain. Going up the mountain at night not only makes the climate colder, but also makes it easier to get lost.
But Xu Huaigu was eager to go up the mountain, and fortunately the two of them had good cultivation, so they were not very afraid of this.
The two masters and apprentices walked through the streets and alleys, leaving Yakumo Town, but they didn't even see a single living person on the streets.
The cold weather is evident. Walking all the way into the mountains, the further away from the town, the colder the weather became and the snow and wind became more severe.
Except for the whistling wind, there was silence in my ears, as if the world had died, which made my heart tremble.
Gu Sanyue still only wore the shabby short jacket he had worn in Bailiang Mountain. When we were in Bailiang Mountain, this short coat could still hold up, but compared with the weather here, it was like a small witch seeing a big witch, and there was nothing we could do.
She was shivering in the wind and snow. Xu Huaigu took out a white robe, which was the one left by Zuo Qiuxun, and handed it to her.
Gu Sanyue took it with trembling hands, thanked him, and quickly put on the white robe. Suddenly, a warm feeling flowed throughout her body, as if it was spring, and she immediately felt no longer cold.
Gu Sanyue looked at the robe on his body in disbelief, marveling at its wonderful effects.
No wonder Xu Huaigu doesn't look cold at all. It turns out it's not because of his high level, but because of the robe.
But Gu Sanyue quickly discovered something was wrong. This robe is clearly a women's robe, so why is it on Xu Huaigu's body?
Adhering to the good habit of asking questions when you don't understand, Gu Sanyue asked curiously: "Master, is this robe worn by a woman? How come you have women's clothes on you?" Xu Huaigu looked into the woods in the distance, He said, "It was left to me by an old friend. You are dressed just right for the occasion." Gu Sanyue only said that Xu Huaigu was complimenting her, and nodded with a smile and said, "Master is so kind." Same thing. , in the eyes of some people, they would blame Xu Huaigu for not giving her the robe earlier.
In the eyes of others, they think that Xu Huaigu is willing to take out a robe to protect himself from the wind and rain. It is a good thing of the master.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but smiled when he thought of this. Gu Sanyue immediately caught Xu Huaigu's smiling face and said in surprise: "Master, you smiled!" Xu Huaigu quickly put away his smile and asked: "Look at what you said, it seems that your master and I have never laughed before. Passed?" Gu Sanyule opened his eyes wide and shook his head and said: "It's different! When you laughed before, you always laughed very deliberately. Either you smiled superficially but didn't smile, or you sneered. But you just laughed so hard. It's very clean. I won't be mistaken!" Xu Huaigu half-squinted his eyes and said, "Maybe it was because he thought of an old friend and was moved by the scene, so he smiled." Gu Sanyue then asked him, "Master, Who is that old friend you mentioned?" Xu Huaigu said: "You don't know him." Gu Sanyue said: "Of course I don't know him, but if you tell me, won't I know him?" Xu Huaigu said She shook her head and said, "You'd better not know him." Gu Sanyue was annoyed again, but following Xu Huaigu, she was already used to this.
Fortunately, she is big-minded and doesn't care about this. The two continued walking up the mountain, and before long, the surrounding woods became more lush.
The path up the mountain stretches into the distance under the wind and snow, looming. As Gu Sanyue walked, he thought that the weather was so cold that the two of them seemed to have eaten all the food and wine he bought in the restaurant today.
What should I do if I run into this windy and snowy mountain and have nothing to eat? Just when she was worried about it, Xu Huaigu suddenly stopped, stretched out a hand to stop Gu Sanyue, and said softly: "There is someone in this forest." Gu Sanyue also stopped and looked around. , all I saw was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Where are they?" Xu Huaigu pointed in three directions and said, "There are three people around us." Gu Sanyue asked, "Are they disciples of the New Rain Sect?" Xu Huaigu said :"I have no idea."
"Then let's go around?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "We can't go around. These people dispersed very regularly, and they obviously surrounded the entire mountain. It's weird to surround the mountain in such a cold weather." Gu Sanyue was a little anxious and asked: "How can we go up the mountain if we can't go around?" Xu Huaigu said: "If we can't go around, don't go around and go straight up the mountain. Anyone who blocks our way will be chopped with swords." Gu Sanyue gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "Master is domineering!" So under the leadership of Xu Huaigu, the two continued to walk up the mountain.
Although he knew there was danger ahead, Gu Sanyue was not worried at all. After all, his master was by his side.
My master is invincible in the world. This is the consciousness that every good disciple should have. Gu Sanyule even wanted to laugh a little when he thought of this.
Soon, the two men's movements were noticed by the Genshan Sect disciples who were ambushing around them, and several of them moved towards Xu Huaigu.
After they walked a few steps further, six Genshan Sect disciples stood in front of Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue, blocking their way.
And the person who led the hunt for Xinlinyuan was also standing among these six people. Kanshu Zhan is called Huo Qicheng. He is the leader of the disciples of Genshan Sect who is responsible for besieging Xinyu Sect. He is a cultivator in the Sixth Realm.
He just noticed the movement of Xu Huaigu and the two, so he rushed over. Huo Qicheng glanced at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze and asked: "Why are you two here?" Xu Huaigu glanced at these people with his peripheral vision and replied: "We were just on our way and happened to come here. That's all." Huo Qicheng naturally didn't believe it and said, "It's such a cold day and it's late at night, and you're still on the road? Where are you going?" Xu Huaigu replied calmly: "This shouldn't be any of your business, right? No comment. "A Genshan Sect disciple next to him said angrily: "Why are you talking to your lord? Do you know who our lord is?" After that, he took a step forward with ill intentions, as if he wanted to scare Xu Huaigu.
However, Gu Sanyue also took a step forward, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and stopped the man without giving up any momentum.
The tip of the needle was facing the wheat, and he was about to take action, but Huo Qicheng didn't want to have a conflict at this time, so he pulled the man back and said: "It's just a small matter, there is no need to use swords or swords. Everyone should still value peace." He said to Xu Huaigu: "Fellow Taoist, our group really has a reason to stop you two. There is an order from the sect from above, asking us to surround this mountain and not allow people to enter or exit. We really cannot violate it. If you two If you are in a hurry, you might as well find another way. As long as you don't go up this mountain, we won't stop you two." Xu Huaigu looked at him and said calmly: "But the two of us originally wanted to go to this mountain. What should we do? What about a detour?" Huo Qicheng's face gradually turned cold, and he raised a hand, and the Genshan Sect disciples behind him raised their swords, eager to try.
Gu Sanyue also drew his sword out of its sheath with a swish sound. Xu Huaigu just smiled slightly. This smile was what Gu Sanyue called a sneer.
...The words are divided into two parts. At this time on Qianjiang Mountain, Xinlinyuan had returned to Xinyu Sect. Surrounded by several disciples, he walked towards a tall attic.
This attic is very large, with three floors. Seen from a distance, it looks quite majestic. There is a piece hanging on the door of the attic called
The plaque of "Mingjian Hall" indicates the name of this attic. Mingjian Hall was originally a place used by Xinyu Sect to teach swordsmanship, but at this time, it had become a refuge for disciples.
Many fires were burning in the lobby of the attic, and there were seven or eight New Rain Sect disciples sitting around each fire. At a rough glance, there were about fifty or sixty people.
Under the burning fire, the lobby of the attic was very warm. These disciples were not practicing their swordsmanship, but most of them had sad faces.
After all, the enemy was facing a great enemy, and the sect was on the verge of life and death. No one was in the mood to practice swordsmanship. As soon as Xin Linyuan walked into the gate of Mingjian Hall, the eyes of all the disciples in the hall immediately turned to him, and then their faces showed joy, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.
"Look, it's Senior Brother Xin who's back!"
"It's really Senior Brother Xin! He said he was going down the mountain to find food for us, and he actually came back successfully!"
"You are worthy of being the number one disciple of our New Rain Sect. Senior Brother Xin is so awesome!" When the disciples of the New Rain Sect saw Xin Linyuan coming back, they felt as if they had seen a hero returning in triumph. They couldn't help but smile and praise him sincerely.
When Xin Linyuan saw this scene, she felt very happy. Seeing everyone's hopeful look, he felt that the life-and-death fights in Yakumo Town and on the way up the mountain were not worth mentioning.
Xin Linyuan stood up, with a smile on his face, and proudly said to everyone: "I live up to the trust of all the junior brothers and sisters, I, Xin Linyuan, have brought food back to you!" All the disciples cheered involuntarily.
Xin Linyuan nodded towards everyone, then took off the robe that contained a lot of wine and food, handed it to a disciple beside him, and ordered: "Give it to everyone. Try to make it as even as possible, so that no one will be unconvinced." That man was a disciple that Xin Lingyuan trusted a lot. He nodded quickly, called for help from several disciples around him, and went to share food and drinks with everyone.
While everyone was getting wine and food, Xin Linyuan found a pot of fire in the corner that was about to go out, sat down cross-legged next to it, then added some firewood, fiddled with it twice, and the flames slowly started to rise. .
A tall woman with waist-length hair sat down next to him. This woman was one of the people who went to pick up Xinlinyuan at that time.
The woman took a piece of meat and a bowl of wine, handed it to Xin Linyuan, and said kindly: "Brother Xin, you can eat it." Xin Linyuan smiled and shook his head and said: "Susu, you are a girl , your body is weak, you eat first, and I will go get one later." The woman called Su Su did not agree, and kept urging: "Senior Brother Xin, you risked everything for everyone. It's such a big risk to go down the mountain. Without you, everyone would be hungry. No matter what, you must eat first, otherwise how can you tell everyone to eat with peace of mind?" Xin Lingyuan looked at the disciples around him, and sure enough he saw everyone They all had wine and food in their hands, but no one moved a word. They were all looking at him eagerly.
Xin Linyuan smiled at the disciples, took the wine handed to him by the woman, and took a sip, and then the other disciples began to eat one after another.
