There is no one on duty in New Tang City.
Mr. Mo and Li Changsheng have their own things to do.
Under the leadership of Li Changkun, they did not go through any complicated interrogation when leaving the city.
After leaving the city, head west.
Entering the forest, the carriage stopped.
After more than ten days in the city, I didn't know that the mountains and forests outside the city were already deserted.
The white snow decorates the Cangshan Mountains, and the clouds and fog overlap. Looking around, the world is completely white.
The cold wind blows and the chill surges.
Looking at the vast expanse, the road ahead is very difficult.
Li Changkun presented three sets of fur coats and some dry food to Bai Song.
"This road is dangerous, Mr. Bai, please take care. Li Changkun believes that Mr. Bai can bring back good news, so I won't send it here."
"Farewell." Bai Song nodded, turned around, held Qing'er's hand, and left for the vast mountains and forests.
…
Snow has accumulated for many days, and the cold air has accumulated. It is actually colder in the Sichuan Basin than in the grasslands further north.
When the three of them reached the mountainside, Bai Song felt a little trembling. The two women around him must have been uncomfortable.
Bai Song asked to stop and made a fire on the spot to melt the snow.
Have a pot of tea and some dried meat as a supplement.
Fire Phoenix looked at the vast clouds and mist and pointed in one direction.
"Crossing two mountains, we will reach a low-lying forest land, and one day later we will reach our Miao village."
"Are you really a Miao girl?" Qing'er asked.
Huo Fenghuang looked even better, stood up and turned around: "What? Can't you see?"
Qing'er shook her head.
Bai Song also took the opportunity to ask: "What is your name?"
"Young master, just call me A Ling."
"Aling..."
Hearing this name, Huo Fenghuang became quieter and sat on his knees by the fire, lost in memories.
"The leader is also a Miao girl. I left the Miao village with the leader. She is a witch from the Miao village and is good at voodoo and poison making. In the Miao village, only by learning voodoo can a woman gain the respect of her tribe and have noble status. status. I just wanted to learn Gu skills from her and one day be respected by people in the Miao village. Later, I followed her to the Central Plains, and gradually discovered that many things had exceeded my original expectations. When I came back to my senses, I found that my hands It has been filled with blood, and there is no turning back. Moreover, I was poisoned by Baihua Pill, and I couldn’t help it at all."
Bai Song had never heard of A Ling's story and was a little curious.
"Then the leader is also a Miao girl? Didn't you hear that he is on some Snake Island?"
"Yes, there is Snake Island deep in the Miao territory. It is a sacred place for the great shamans of the Miao people. It is not accessible to ordinary people."
"Deep in the Miao border... I always thought it was some kind of island."
"The reason why Snake Island is called Snake Island is because the outer periphery of the Snake Island area is surrounded by a sea of insects. And in the center area, thousands of snakes grow, so it is called Snake Island."
"Snake Island surrounded by a sea of insects... hiss..."
Bai Song took a deep breath, just listening to it made his scalp numb.
Qing'er shrank back, obviously a little scared, and pressed closer to Bai Song.
Bai Song hugged the cold body and whispered: "It doesn't matter, I had no intention of taking you with me on the trip to Snake Island. When we get to Miao Village, follow A Ling's arrangement and stay in the village until I come back."
"No! I want to follow the young master."
"Don't be willful. This trip is extremely dangerous. It's not just the danger of snakes and insects. It also touches the core of the Holy Lotus Sect, and there are many masters and demons. Your grandfather and the new Tang Crown Prince also sent masters to enter. Who knows how chaotic it will be? Maybe You can also meet Japanese people."
Qing'er still shook her head and held Bai Song tightly: "That's why I want to follow the young master even more."
"You are so called Young Master!" A-Ling glanced at her and said with a sweet smile, "You two have been in a state of affairs, you and me, and you still don't want to change your tune?"
Qing'er blushed and lowered her head.
Bai Song patted Qing'er on the back of her hand: "It doesn't matter, you can call me whatever you like."
Suddenly, a long whistle broke the calm in the wind and snow.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The group had just left Nunotang, and there was no guarantee of safety. No one knew whether there would be eye spies following them.
Bai Song frowned and quickly buried the bonfire in the snow.
I felt a little annoyed, feeling that I was too relaxed and forgot that the situation was not safe.
The three of them quickly moved in the opposite direction of the whistle, leaving a long string of footprints in the snow.
The three of them didn't take a few steps forward when there was a whooshing sound from behind.
"Squat down!"
Bai Song shouted.
As soon as the three of them squatted down, a string of crossbow arrows flew over their heads and plunged into the snow.
Bai Song saw one of the arrows, which was a crossbow arrow.
Sure enough, the pursuers are coming!
This is too fast!
Bai Song secretly said, "Sorry, it's not Jian Shisan and Long Shanshan who are following him now."
Even A Ling, her kung fu is not very good, not even as good as White Bee.
Not to mention Qing'er, she has no fighting ability.
As long as a master appears at this time, all three of them may be captured.
Bai Song glanced around and saw a big tree in front of him. He took Qing'er and ran behind the tree to hide.
There was no point running anymore at this point, the only option was to fight back.
A Ling also knew this and did not follow Bai Song's steps. Instead, she turned to the side and hid behind a rock, watching the enemy's sneak attack with vigilance.
No one showed up and everything seemed calm again.
Bai Song calmed down and felt a little strange.
"If you really want to make a sneak attack, just do it directly. Why did you whistle suddenly? Didn't you expose yourself?"
Without warning, a man suddenly exploded out of the snowdrift more than ten meters behind!
This man was dressed in tight white clothes and a white hat, blending into the snow.
The man shot straight up and into the snowy treetops above.
A few seconds later, a scream came from the tree.
A pool of blood spilled from the tree.
Before Bai Song understood what was going on, another man in white jumped down from another treetop, holding a crossbow in his hand, but he ran in panic and looked back at the place where the previous murder was committed.
He didn't even see the road in front of him, and bumped into the big tree that Bai Song was hiding from. He groaned and fainted.
This man bumped into Bai Song. Seeing his crossbow, it was obviously their attack just now.
The other party's white clothes were completely different from the white clothes that came out of the snow.
This white coat is very familiar.
It is the costume of the Holy Lotus Sect.
But where did the other white clothes come from?
Lingxiu Palace?
Obviously not.
Just as he was thinking about it, the unconscious man gained some consciousness and struggled to get up.
Bai Song didn't move, but Qing'er moved a stone from nowhere and hit it on the head.
The man fainted again.
Qing'er grabbed the crossbow and held it in her hand, very nervously.
Bai Song glanced at her, smiled, and gave her an approving look.
"Master, be careful!" Qing'er exclaimed.
I saw another person from the Holy Lotus Sect running towards the two of them in a hurry.
Qing'er's face turned red with nervousness, and she pulled the trigger at the visitor.
With a hiss, the other party fell to the ground.
This was an experience that Qing'er had never had before. There was a hint of excitement mixed with fear. She smiled when she looked at Bai Song, but her hands were shaking so much.
Qing'er took out an arrow and prepared to load it, but something flew over her head and fell behind her.
When he looked back, he saw that it was a severed arm. He was so frightened that he let out a scream, dropped the crossbow and threw himself into Bai Song's arms.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the snow and fog in front of him, flashing quickly in the direction of Bai Song.
The other party was petite, slender, and very strange. He arrived in front of Bai Song in a few seconds.
It was a woman wrapped in white clothes, with a square face and wrapped hair, only revealing a pair of cold eyes.
In his right hand he held a two-foot-long dagger, with a long handle and a cold light.
Bai Song recognized it at a glance. This sword was not a Tang Dynasty style, it must have come from Japan!
Is this a Japanese woman? !
In the midst of horror, the woman had arrived, staring at Bai Song like an emotionless falcon.
The woman was extremely fast, and she pierced the tree straight in front of her, as if the tree in front of her didn't exist. The blade penetrated directly without any obstruction.
Bai Song felt bad and pushed Qing'er away suddenly, on his side.
The dagger was a little short and didn't penetrate the big tree.
But then she pulled the knife horizontally, and the tree broke instantly.
The sharpness of this knife was beyond Bai Song's expectation.
The opponent slashed once and then again. He turned the knife in his hand, changed the direction of the knife, and stabbed Bai Song's throat from bottom to top.
Bai Song didn't react slowly and immediately drew out his scimitar and placed it on his attack path.
After a moment of concentration, a burst of true energy flowed into the blade.
After practicing again and again, Bai Song felt that he was able to control the true energy in his body.
Although the active control of Qi is far from the level of a grand master, this is already a very gratifying change.
Bai Song's scimitar was blessed with true energy, so no matter how sharp the short sword was, it was not enough.
Sure enough, when the two swords connected, the Japanese woman felt a huge counter-shock force and almost let go of the short sword, and she was knocked away several times.
There was a flash of surprise in the only exposed eyes, followed by a more powerful murderous intent.
The woman took another stab and aimed it at Bai Song's heart.
At this time, Aling from the side took action, swung her long whip, and wrapped the short knife halfway.
This whip is born to know the sword. Once entangled, the blade is useless and it is difficult to get rid of it.
The other party wanted to break away, but Aling sneered: "Humph, how can it be so easy?"
Bai Song also picked up the crossbow, cocked the arrow and pulled the trigger instantly.
The crossbow arrow flew past, chasing the woman between her eyebrows.
The other party dodged in time and avoided it.
But the crossbow arrow was very fast, grazing the woman's ear and untying her veil.
A piece of white cloth slipped down, and there was a touch of delicate red clouds in the snow.
This face is as beautiful as a snow lotus in the cold wind, and the blush on the face is the stamen showing vitality.
Japanese women have a unique flavor. Even if they are killers, their cold eyes always give people an alluring flavor.
Of course, Bai Song had no time to appreciate it. Although he was surprised by the enemy's appearance, between life and death, how could there be time to cherish the beauty?
Bai Song held the scimitar again, a few meters away, and struck it down with one strike. At the same time, with a low cry, the blade suddenly came out.
A knife mark flew on the snow. The Japanese woman's eyes widened and she tried her best to block it with her knife.
Colliding with Bai Song's true energy, the woman felt like she had been hit hard.
The dagger was released, and the man flew out, falling to the snow.
Bai Song wanted to seize the opportunity to capture this person, but the moment the woman fell into the snow, her whole body seemed to blend into the vast white snow, and she could only see a little movement on the snow.
The person is missing!
