Jiang Shuo asked in confusion: "Sir, how do you know where the Demon Cult's main altar is? Could it be that... you also have contacts with the Demon Cult?"
Ye Qingyao pulled Jiang Shuo and said, "Brother Su, although Mr. Zhang Guo is humorous, he is actually a Taoist master and will never have anything to do with the devil's sect."
Jiang Shuo hurriedly said: "Sir, please forgive me, I was anxious and spoke out of proportion."
Mr. Zhang Guo smiled and waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Although I am from Xingzhou, Hebei Province, I have been practicing in seclusion in Zhongtiao Mountain. It can be said that I have traveled all the ditches in Zhongtiao Mountain, and there are thousands of valleys in Zhongtiao Mountain." It is difficult to find hundreds of thousands of people hidden in thousands of caves, and I accidentally discovered the location of the main altar of the Demon Cult."
Jiang Shuo said in disbelief: "There is no one in charge of the Demon Cult Headquarters?"
Now Ye Qingyao and Mr. Zhang Guo both laughed together. Ye Qingyao said: "Brother Suzhi, with Mr. Zhang Guo's ability, do you think that an ordinary martial artist can detect him?"
Jiang Shuo originally said that Mr. Zhang Guo only knew some blinding techniques, but he didn't expect that he was also a master. He hurriedly crossed his hands to Mr. Zhang Guo and said, "Please show me the way, sir. I want to go to the Demon Cult Headquarters to save people."
Mr. Zhang Guo stroked his beard and said, "Ah... the road in the mountain is not easy to find... Unless I personally lead the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the place."
Ye Qingyao said: "Sir, then you can take Brother Suzhi with you."
Mr. Zhang Guo pouted his beard and said, "No, no, I have to go to Songyang Temple. The paths between Songshan Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain are completely opposite..."
Ye Qingyao said: "Ah, sir, please help Brother Suzhi. Don't be in a hurry to visit your friends in Songyang. Brother Suzhi, this is a matter of life and death."
Mr. Zhang Guo said with a smile: "You, a little brother, are still anxious to save his dear sister. If you ask me to tell you not to save people at all, don't you also like your brother Suizhi?"
Ye Qingyao blushed with embarrassment and spat: "How can this happen? Sir, please stop teasing me." She looked like a shy little daughter. Not to mention Mr. Zhang Guo, even Jiang Shuo knew what was going on. Although he was secretly in love with Dugu Xiang, he never revealed it. Today, after being teased by Mr. Zhang Guo, he realized that Ye Qingyao was very close to him. Ever since he saw him and Xiang'er meet, he had no interest in him anymore. Ignoring it, could it be... could it be... Thinking of this, Jiang Shuo also turned red.
Ye Qingyao peeked at his helpless look and sighed secretly: He must be like this because of Xiang'er, hey... If he does this to me one day, even if he dies immediately, I will be happy too.
Seeing the two of them having their own thoughts, Mr. Zhang Guo couldn't help laughing again and said: "Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you two kids. I have nothing to do anyway, old man." Let me take you to Zhongtiao Mountain, kid."
Jiang Shuo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you sir for your help." He had lost the whereabouts of the Demon Cult and was very anxious. Now that he had another clue, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. Seeing his eyes shining, Ye Qingyao couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Zhang Guo left immediately and walked towards his white guard. It seemed that his steps were not very big, but somehow, he only took a few steps to cross the road and reach the white guard's side, as if he was shrinking from the ground. Only then did Jiang Shuo realize that Mr. Zhang Guo's Qing Kung Fu was so amazing. He was secretly amazed that the truly outstanding Kung Fu could be performed with such ease.
While Jiang Shuo was in a daze, Mr. Zhang Guo had already climbed onto the white guard, still riding the donkey backwards, and said to Jiang Shuo: "Boy, pick up my bamboo harp."
Just now when Jiang Shuo knocked Mr. Zhang Guo off the White Guard, the bamboo harp and the simple wooden board he was holding flew out. Jiang Shuo hurriedly lowered his head to pick it up. He picked up the bamboo harp and the simple wooden board, but saw that the bamboo harp and the simple wooden board had fallen apart. Knowing how to assemble it, Ye Qingyao took the broken parts from Jiang Shuo while hesitating, assembled them in twos and twos, and handed them back to Mr. Zhang Guo.
Mr. Zhang Guo still held the bamboo qin in his arms and played the simple boards. At the same time, he clamped the white donkey's belly. The white donkey spread its hooves and started to trot. Ye Qingyao said: "Wrong, wrong. Songshan Mountain is in the east, in the middle." The mountain is to the west."
Mr. Zhang Guo smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you old fool..." The white guard didn't have a bridle and reins. As he spoke, he didn't know what trick Mr. Zhang Guo used. The white guard suddenly turned around and faced west. Running in a hurry
Come.
Jiang Shuo's old yellow horse was still tied up by the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, and Ye Qingyao didn't have a mount either. The two used Qinggong to follow Mr. Zhang Guo, and Mr. Zhang Guo rode his donkey backwards. The two of them ran with Bai Wei, arriving. Now we are face to face with him.
Mr. Zhang Guo played the bamboo harp and sang Taoism, but it was: "
The earthly heart does not know the heaven in the body, and the empty spiritual ritual is intended to find immortals.
I don’t know where the mysterious pearl is. When will it return to Dantian?
They rely too much on their intelligence to enforce right and wrong, even if they hear the essentials of the Dharma, they are contrary to it.
If the treasure of immortality could not be produced, it would be made into black pearls that would penetrate the purple sky. "
Bai Wei's running method is similar to Mr. Zhang Guo's Qing Gong. It seems that his strides are not big, but his small steps are extremely fast. It seems that his horse is not inferior to the Mingma of the Western Regions. Jiang Shuo can't help but think of Nestorian Yishu. The divine donkey of the Western Regions ridden by the Great Virtue.
Jiang Shuo did not dare to overtake Mr. Zhang Guo's car, so he and Ye Qingyao ran behind the donkey for more than ten miles. Jiang Shuo had plenty of internal energy and did not feel it was hard, but Ye Qingyao gradually became unable to run.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo put his hands behind her waist. Ye Qingyao immediately felt that his body was more than half lighter, and his feet became lighter. However, he felt that the place where Jiang Shuo's hand was holding was warm, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Jiang Shuo was running so fast that he could still speak. He said to Ye Qingyao, "Sister Qingyao, why are you with Mr. Zhang Guo?" Didn't you follow your master back south? "
Ye Qingyao said: "After Teng Kongzi returned to the Central Plains, she has been in Songyang Temple, asking Dan Qiusheng for advice on how to make elixirs and make medicines. She has exchanged letters with Taoist priests from the two capitals. She is afraid of bumping into Prime Minister Lin, and she doesn't want to go back to Beijing to do anything to me. We have been running errands back and forth several times, and this time when I left Chang'an, I met Mr. Zhang Guo."
Jiang Shuo frowned and said, "Sister Qingyao, why do you ride on a donkey or a horse and run on your feet every time you enter and leave the capital?" When Jiang Shuo said this, he thought of the time when he was Li Bai's scholar and ran away for him. The scene brought a smile to my lips.
Ye Qingyao didn't know what he was thinking. She couldn't help but blush a little when he was half-hugging her in his arms. She pointed at the white guard that Mr. Zhang Guo was riding and said, "Well, isn't the mount under Mr. Zhang Guo's crotch?" ?」
Jiang Shuo then remembered that when he met Li Tengkong and Ye Qingyao at the beginning of the year, they were riding two white guards. He smiled and said, "It turns out that the girl respected the elder and gave the white guards to the husband to ride."
Ye Qingyao smiled and said, "That's not true. This Bai Wei belongs to Mr. Zhang Guo, and is just lent to Teng Kongzi for a use."
Mr. Zhang Guo was still swaying on the white guard and said: "Yes, Prime Minister Lin is not very good, but this daughter has very deep roots and has won the heart of the elderly."
Ye Qingyao said: "When I came back this time, I met my husband pretending to be dead to escape from the dust net, so I accompanied him on the journey. I didn't expect to meet you, brother Su Zhi, by such a coincidence."
Only then did Jiang Shuo know the cause and effect. Jiang Shuo and Ye Qingyao chatted again about their respective experiences after the separation, but Jiang Shuo talked more and Ye Qingyao said less. In the end, even Jiang Shuo couldn't say ten sentences and Ye Qingyao couldn't explain it. In one sentence, he just smiled and listened to Jiang Shuo's words. Although Ye Qingyao had Jiang Shuo's help, it was too forced to speak when he was running fast.
After running like this for more than a hundred miles, it was already three poles higher. There were gradually more and more pedestrians on the road. The two donkeys ran so fast that they attracted the attention of passers-by. But Mr. Zhang Guo didn't care, and Jiang Shuo didn't care at this moment. Not so much anymore, I just kept walking with my head covered.
Mr. Zhang Guo wanted to see Jiang Shuo's internal strength and secretly urged Bai Wei to run without stopping. Donkeys have better endurance than horses. Not only did Bai Wei run at about the same speed as a horse, he also had great endurance. There was no sign of weakness, but after running a hundred miles, Jiang Shuo and Ye Qingyao were not angry at all, and kept following closely without changing their expressions. Mr. Zhang Guo knew Ye Qingyao's internal strength. It must be Jiang Shuo who was carrying the weight of the two, otherwise Ye Qingyao would have fallen behind long ago.
After running like this, the sun wheel fell to the west, and the three of them crossed Mianchi and entered the territory of Shaanzhou. Mr. Zhang Guo said: "After running for a day, let's rest here for a day and cross the river tomorrow."
Jiang Shuo said: "It turns out that Zhongtiao Mountain is on the north bank of the river."
Mr. Zhang Guo said: "The south bank of the river here is Laoshan Mountain, and the north bank is Zhongtiao. The two mountains stand between each other, which is where the river is the narrowest and most steep."
At this time, the roar of the river can be heard. It turns out that
Unknowingly, he had arrived at the river bank all the way west. When Jiang Shuo walked to the bank, he saw that the river bank here was different from that downstream. The river downstream was higher than the bottom of the land, and the water was blocked by embankments on both sides. However, the river bank here was higher than the water and formed a gorge. Mr. Zhang Guo said: "This place is called Xia Shi, which is the gateway to Shaanzhou. Going further west is the old pass of Hangu. In ancient times, the so-called Xiaohanzhigu was here."
Jiang Shuo stood on the river bank and looked to the west. He saw the vast Qinling Mountains and Xiaoshan Mountains on his left hand, and the Qianren River Valley on his right hand. It was indeed the most beautiful place in the world.
Ye Qingyao said: "Okay, let's not express our nostalgia for the past here. Where will we stay tonight?"
Jiang Shuo said, "We have been chasing them all day and night, why not cross the river all night and make one big effort."
But Mr. Zhang Guo pointed upward and said: "The river here cannot be crossed at night. Don't worry, kid. We traveled four hundred miles in one day. If it is true as you said, the Demon Cult has kidnapped so many people, we will definitely not be able to leave." So fast, we are afraid that we are ahead of the Demon Cult. Now we hold the key, but don’t worry, rest peacefully for a night. Wouldn’t it be better if the Demon Cult came and bumped into us here, but we can save the money. It’s a struggle in the mountains.”
Jiang Shuo felt good. He looked into the river and saw that the water here was already extremely fast. However, there was an even more shocking sound of thunder from the upper reaches. He could faintly see several black peaks standing in the river. Completely truncated.
Mr. Zhang Guo said: "It is said that when Dayu was controlling the floods, he used his magic ax to split the mountains here into three gates: humans, gods, and ghosts, so that the river water could flow eastward, so this place is also called Sanmen Gorge."
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo also knew that it was indeed difficult to cross the river at night. When he looked at the river bank, he saw a ferry with several boats moored. When Jiang Shuo saw the style of those boats, he couldn't help but said to Ye Qingyao happily: "Sister, you don't have to I’m worried about what will happen today.”
