Li Zhuer sighed softly and said: "Looking back, I know how you are feeling at the moment, but there is no clue as to who killed Master Gu Xin. It will be difficult to find out the matter, and you have more important things to do. Nothing has been done..."
Dugu Xiang asked doubtfully: "What important thing?"
Li Zhuer said: "Xianger, let me ask you, what is the purpose of your coming to Tibet?"
Jiang Shuo was startled, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back. They came here originally to look for Ye Qingyao, but after listening to what the Tang army generals Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu said, they asked them to bring the Anqing sect to seek help from Master Gu Xin. Yin Ziqi, An Qingxu and his party who were treating him misunderstood that they were Xie Yanchang and Quan Xingjian leading Ye Qingyao, and then they tracked them all the way to the bank of the West Sea.
Later, by mistake, he helped the Tang army, which was running thousands of miles away, defeat the Tibetan army and rescued the Anqing sect, but saw the mysterious death of Master Gu Xin.
After such a long night, so many bizarre things happened, and in the end, I discovered that there was no news about Ye Qingyao's whereabouts.
Li Zhuer looked at Jiang Shuo's bewildered look, smiled and said, "Looking back, I'll tell you where the Ye family's wife is now."
Jiang Shuo was stunned and said, "Zhu'er, how did you know..."
Li Zhuer said: "Don't ask...I have my own way. Looking back, if you believe me, just follow me."
Jiang Shuo could never guess whether Li Zhuer was evil. This time she was wandering between the Tubo and the Western Army. It seemed that she was for the benefit of the Anlu Shandong Army, but she seemed to have a deeper purpose. Jiang Shuo could not bear it. He couldn't help but look at Dugu Xiang, but Dugu Xiang gave him a noncommittal expression.
Li Zhuer didn't care at all about their confused expressions and said, "How about it? If we don't leave, the Tibetans will come back."
Jiang Shuo made up his mind and said, "Okay! Zhu'er, I'll go with you, and I'll call Lao Ma later."
Wang Zhongsi left the green horse to Li Zhuer, but Li Zhuer had no intention of getting on the horse and said: "Looking back to where we are going, the horse cannot reach it."
Jiang Shuo was startled and asked, "Is it the top of a snow-capped mountain or a cliff? Are you not going there right now?"
He suddenly remembered what Meng Lu told him. Ye Qingyao's injury required him to go to a high mountain ice and snow place to freeze Ye Qingyao with black ice to reduce her internal breath to the lowest level, so that her life could be temporarily extended.
But Li Zhuer shook her head and said: "No... the place we want to go is far away in the horizon, but right in front of us."
Jiang Shuo still didn't know why, but Dugu Xiang put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "I know, it turns out that Little Ye Zi and the others are on Longju Island in the West Sea!"
Li Zhuer smiled and said: "Yes, Xiang'er is still smart."
Jiang Shuo asked: "How far is this Longju Island from the sea?"
Li Zhuer said: "No less than fifty miles."
Dugu Xiang exclaimed, "So far? Although the horses can't get across, we can't swim across, right?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Sister Zhu'er praised you too early. Little Ye Zi was seriously injured and can't move. How can she get to Haixin Island if she can swim like this?"
Dugu Xiang was well-intentioned, but Dan Island was completely dark and there was no board in sight. This was a matter of course. If there were ships on the island, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie would not be able to trap Master Gu Xin by guarding the headland.
Li Zhuer took out a bone flute, put it to her lips and blew two long and one short blows, and then played one long and one short. She repeated this three times. The ethereal flute sound also came from the distant water, and the rhythm was the same as Li Zhu'er's. Exactly the same.
Dugu Xiang said: "The sound of this bone flute can actually be transmitted fifty miles away? Didn't that person come too fast?"
Li Zhuer said: "I am not Senior Dugu, and the sound of the flute cannot be carried so far. That's because the ship is waiting nearby."
It was the darkest moment before dawn. Everyone first heard the sound of oars coming from far away from the sea, but no ships were seen. The situation was very strange. After a long time, I saw a black boat sliding over from the east side of the island.
The whole body of this boat is pitch black, even the oars behind the boat are black. This small black boat is not big, like a dinghy boat in the south of the Yangtze River. There is only one person on it rocking the oar. That person is covered with a big black robe, and his whole body is It was black, and the hood on the robe was pulled up, covering most of his face. Only a pair of eyes gave off a glimmer of light in the shadow, really like a ferryman on the River Styx.
The man silently pushed the boat to the edge of the island. Li Zhuer said: "Su Zhi, Xiang'er, please board the boat."
The boat was very small and could only hold at most three people except for the person driving it. Li Zhuer let Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang board the boat, but Du Du did not invite Tuoba Qimei aboard.
Jiang Shuo said to Tuoba Qimei: "Brother Tuoba, let's go to Longju Island in the heart of the sea. You'd better wait for us on the shore so that we can take care of you."
Jiang Shuo's words were completely euphemistic. Tuoba Qimei was from the North. Not only could he not swim, he was also afraid of water. Moreover, he already knew that both Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang had peerless martial arts skills, so he went with them. On the island, not only was he unable to help, but he might even become a burden, so he said: "Okay! Little friend Jiang, you should be more careful."
Then he pointed to the west and said, "I'll wait for you in Fuqi City to the west."
This is a battlefield, with hundreds of corpses of Tibetan warriors. Just now in the darkness, the Tubo people retreated hastily without knowing the details of the Tang army. After the light turns, the Tubo people will definitely come back, clean the battlefield and dispose of the corpses. It was never wise to stay on the island.
Jiang Shuo nodded and said, "Brother Tuoba, be careful. We'll see you in Fuqi City."
He turned to Dugu Xiang and said, "Xiang'er, let's go to the island together."
Dugu Xiang nodded firmly and said: "In water and fire, we walk together in life and death."
Li Zhuer couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can there be so many lives and deaths? Don't worry, it's very safe."
As she said that, she jumped lightly onto the boat. Jiang Shuo took Dugu Xiang with him, and the two of them also boarded the boat together.
The man on the boat didn't wait for the three of them to sit down. As soon as he moved the oars, the black boat made a sharp turn on the water and turned eastward. The boat was extremely light and moved away from the shore quickly. Only Tuoba Beggar was seen on the shore. Mei waved to them, then turned to the west, and disappeared within a moment.
Dugu Xiang, who was on the boat, quietly licked Jiang Shuo's sleeve and whispered softly: "The boatman is a big cannibal."
Jiang Shuo was startled and looked at the boatman. Sure enough, he was wearing the same clothes as the Dashi warrior. His robes bulged on both sides, obviously hiding the full moon swords.
There was no light on the boat. Although Jiang Shuo had excellent eyesight, he could not clearly see Li Zhuer's expression. She must have heard the whispers of the two of them, but her breathing was even and unfluctuated. She must have had a calm look on her face at this moment, as if she had changed from just now. The big cannibal captain who is still deliberately trying to kill them is a matter of course. There is no need to hide it, let alone worry.
Jiang Shuo stretched out his hand to squeeze Dugu Xiang's hand and said softly: "Just wait and see what happens."
Li Zhuer smiled slightly and turned to look out of the boat, as if looking at the scenery, but it was dark at the moment and she couldn't see anything.
The black boat was sailing on the inky sea like this. Listening to the sound of water, the boat should be moving forward, but there was no light around it, and it seemed to be parked on the sea without moving.
Jiang Shuo tried his best to calm down his mind so that he didn't appear panicked. In fact, he still couldn't help but feel drumming in his heart. His hand kept holding Dugu Xiang's hand. Dugu Xiang's hand on the other side was cold and seemed to be trembling slightly. He didn't know it was due to the cold night. Zhi is still afraid. Jiang Shuo tightened his hand and held it tighter. Dugu Xiang seemed to feel his firmness, and his hand slowly became warmer.
The two of them had not rested for a day and a night. At this moment, they were blind anyway. Jiang Shuo simply closed his eyes and began to exercise his power. His internal energy was transmitted to Dugu Xiang's body through the hands he held, and the two of them silently began to exercise their power together. . The inner breath circulates in the body, pulling each other around, which is quite interesting.
After walking like this for an hour, when Jiang Shuo opened his eyes again, the fish belly was already slightly white in the east. The plateau was blocked by the mountains, and the night was extremely long, but as long as the sun rose from the mountains, it would be extremely bright. Quickly, look up at the sky. The sky is blue and the white clouds are hanging low. It feels like you are on a plateau, and you are really much closer to the sky.
At this moment, it can also be seen that the boat is not stopping on the sea, but is sailing eastward at an extremely fast speed, because at this moment Jiang Shuo can see the outline of a shadowy hill in the sea getting closer.
The sea in the west is so big that although the boat is fast, it cannot be compared with the speed of a galloping horse. After walking for three hours, when the sun was high in the sky, we approached Longju Island. It was said to be an island, but in fact it was an island in the sea. It is a small hill. There is not a single tree on the hill, but it is covered with lush green grass. From a distance, it looks like a pasture for grazing Pegasus. However, as far as the eye can see, there is not a single horse on Longju Island.
Under the sunlight, the hood could not hide Da Shiren's overly three-dimensional facial features, but he only concentrated on rowing, neither talking nor looking at Shuo and Xiang. Both of them were very surprised, but they held back. He was curious and didn't speak.
Longju Island is surrounded by cliffs and there are no tidal flats. The three of them were still a few feet offshore. They jumped out of the boat and climbed up the cliffs. The walk to the top of the mountain was much smoother.
Looking around at this moment, the coastline of the West Sea seems to be vaguely visible, and the mountains in the distance, not to mention the Dafeiling in the south, and the Qilian Mountains in the north, which are still far away, seem to be vaguely visible.
Jiang Shuo suddenly had a thought in his mind. He always felt that the mountains and terrain here seemed very familiar. He looked south and seemed to be able to clearly tell the direction of the Dafeichuan River that meandered behind the Dafei Ridge. He felt strange in his heart. Why do you feel this way?
He kept walking, but he closed his eyes and began to draw a map of the West Sea in his mind. He first drew an irregular oblate circle that was long from east to west and narrow from north to south. He also drew several curves, some representing mountains, and some It represents Wuhaqu and Daotanghe. Finally, on this picture in my mind, a slanting oblong ink dot was placed in the middle of the West Sea.
When he finished drawing the last point, Jiang Shuo's heart suddenly became clear. Isn't this the secret map hidden in the bone-penetrating mirror that has been passed down from generation to generation by the leaders of the Jianghu Alliance?
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but exclaimed, startling both Li Zhuer and Dugu Xiang. Li Zhuer, who was walking in front, and Dugu Xiang, who was walking next to Jiang Shuo, both turned to look at him. Jiang Shuo said awkwardly: " This...this...I saw that the terrain here is open and the scenery is very beautiful, so I couldn't help but shout."
The two women are both smart women with seven orifices and exquisite hearts. How could they not know that Jiang Shuo is not telling the truth? They are now close to the ridge. Although the field of vision is indeed broad, Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang have already walked through most of the Central Plains, so there is no beautiful scenery. I have seen him sigh like this before, but before the two of them could ask questions, a dozen black-robed warriors suddenly emerged from behind the ridge.
It's just that the black robes of these people were rustling in the wind, and they didn't look like they had been touched by water. The robes of the group of big food warriors who fought with Jiang Shuo in the shallow sea last night should not have dried out so quickly, right?
Seeing so many black-robed warriors, Jiang Shuo looked at Li Zhuer in surprise and couldn't help but press the hilt of the seven-star sword at his waist. 33
But I heard an old voice shouting playfully: "Little friend Jiang, why did you get here?"
Some people died, but not completely...
