It is said that Lin Feng had paid homage to Master Qinglong and wanted to leave the valley as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, a sad laughter spread across the valley bottom. It was gloomy, terrifying, and creepy. Lin Feng looked around, but he only heard his voice and could not see his person!
"Where did this young boy come from, how dare he break into the Orchid Valley!" Like a dream, a black shadow flashed across the valley...
"Lin Feng, please forgive me if I've been presumptuous!"
"You are the second person who will not die if you fall to the bottom of the orchid valley, or if you are immersed in the poison of hundreds of flowers. You are the second person! I, Ye Rumeng, have been practicing in seclusion for seven years. Unexpectedly, I have lost many old friends and gained a new one. It is really God's will, hahahaha... "
"It turns out it's Master Ye of Orchid Valley. I'm polite to you, but I don't know who Master Ye mentioned first..." Lin Feng gave a slight salute.
"First of all...he is already dead..."
"Boy, since you're here, this is your future grave. You can't get out of this abyss no matter what. You can just wait for death with peace of mind, hahahaha..."
In the wind, a woman in black floats up. Her clothes are like frost, her hair is like ink, and she is proud and rugged, but she is very charming!
"I don't want to accompany you, please take my leave!" After saying that, the figure jumped a thousand feet and disappeared without a trace in an instant...
Let’s not mention this for now…
Chapter 3 The City that Never Sleeps in the West
Let’s talk about Tingyulou!
This is the largest restaurant west of Zhongdu City! Over the years, Tingyu Tower has been crowded with guests, with busy traffic and an endless stream of pedestrians in front of the door. Half of the guests come here to drink, and the other half come to listen to books. As the name suggests - Tingyu Tower! No, the storyteller is an old man in his sixties, known as "Thousand Miles of Sound". At this time, he was already sitting on the stage and talking about it: "It is said that this heroine went through a lot of hardships and finally killed that man with the magic iron." A hero who avenged her mother-in-law..."
"Ah, he's dead...that's not possible, is he?"
"Excuse me, Qianli Chuanyin, what is the name of the heroine?"
There was a commotion among the people in the audience, and voices of discussion arose one after another!
"Qianli Chuanyin" didn't answer. He picked up the tea cup and drank tea calmly.
"Oh, Qianli Chuanyin, you should tell me quickly, what is the heroine's name?"
"Qianli Chuanyin" put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "Shh, you can't say this, the secret must not be leaked!"
"Okay, okay, that's it for today. Let's all go drink. We'll talk about it tomorrow, talk about it again..."
"Hey, don't worry, the story isn't over yet..." Someone was shouting!
"Mo Si, stop drinking. We should leave. If we go back late, the Dharma King will be angry again!"
"Let's go, let's go!" The four little demons in armor were very drunk. They helped each other mount their horses and headed west!
Let us say that there is a majestic city more than 200 miles west of Tingyu Tower, named: Western Night City, also known as "Magic City"!
The city gate is made of bronze, majestic and resplendent. Outside the city, merchants gather and there are many shops and mansions. Inside the city, the lights are bright. The lord of the city, Feng Cheng Dharma King, practices in seclusion day and night. If this continues, a magnificent city will be shrouded in dust and smoke day and night. In the city, sometimes there are thousands of golden lights and thousands of blue waves, sometimes the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the sun and moon have no light!
As the sun set, a red horse galloped past the Magic City, followed closely by two black horses!
"Congratulations to the Dharma King. You have mastered the magical skills. The Dharma King is so powerful!" In the golden palace, a group of little demons came to pay their respects. However, they saw Dharma King Fengcheng with his eyes slightly closed and his expression was calm, as if he was a god descending to earth, dressed in red clothes and facing the wind. Floating down, indescribable arrogance.
"Are you all here?" Magic asked!
"Yes, the little devils are here!"
The Dharma King silently recited: "Victory over heaven and earth, over ghosts and gods, against Buddhas and demons, against immortal emperors, to destroy the stars and moon, to destroy the way of heaven, the Dharma is the realm, the devil is the king, I am the supreme one in the world and the craziest!"
So, more than a thousand disciples in the city shouted: "Victory over heaven and earth, victory over ghosts and gods, battles against Buddhas and monsters, battles against immortal emperors..."
The Dharma King slowly raised his right hand and waved it vigorously, and a golden and bronze sacred bull weighing a thousand kilograms and two feet high flew into the air. As soon as it reached the center of the hall, the Dharma King sank his right hand, and the golden and bronze sacred bull fell steadily to the ground. Such magical power , all the disciples were dumbfounded, and repeatedly praised: "The power of the Dharma King is invincible in the world!" The Dharma King smiled slightly, and suddenly his face darkened, and said: "Master Golden Body, what do you think of what you are asking about?" A tall and tall god came forward. Taking a step forward, he raised his hands and praised: "I am reporting to the King of Dharma. God has fulfilled his wish. Jiang Huyue has died in the Orchid Valley, and Ye Rumeng has died in the underworld. The King of Dharma will rule the world and it is just around the corner!"
"Oh? Is all this true?"
The Master said: "Rouqing, the daughter of General Mianguo Rouyi, killed Jiang Huyue with her own hands! But Ye Rumeng took the blame on himself and died from the poison!" After hearing this, the Dharma King laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, who in the whole world is here? How dare you compete with me for supremacy!"
All of a sudden, all the disciples shouted: "Supreme Dharma King, I can't compete with you!"
Fawang said: "The Ruiyang sword is a thousand-year-old artifact, and the Orchid Valley is made from the poison of hundreds of flowers. When Jianghuyue falls into the Orchid Valley, the poison has already attacked his heart. Even if he has a thousand lives and ten thousand courages, he will definitely die. Everyone Disciple, listen to your orders. On the night of the full moon this month, I will personally conquer the Orchid Valley in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, the Dharma King is wise!" the little devils responded in unison!
"Master Golden Body, do you know if the Ruiyang Sword is missing?" the Dharma King suddenly asked!
"This..." the mage quickly knelt down and said: "Dharma King, please calm down, this mage is useless, I have never obtained the Ruiyang Sword!"
"What? It's just a Ruiyang sword, but you want me to take action personally?"
"Please give me another chance, Dharma King. I will definitely live up to expectations!"
"Dharma King, please calm down. I, the Fourth Demon, have found out the whereabouts of that woman, and Xiao Mo is willing to accompany the Master to retrieve the Ruiyang Sword!"
"Don't disappoint me, all of you, please retreat!" The Dharma King waved his hand, and the little devils retreated one after another!
"Grandma Qiuyu, Rou'er killed Jiang Huyue and avenged you, you can rest in peace!"
In front of the gate of Xianyin Temple, a woman made three obeisances to the statue, then walked slowly along the 200 stone steps. About a hundred steps ahead, a striking red word "Buddha" was carved powerfully on the huge stone. On both sides of the stone steps, there are two floors on each side - a bell in the east tower and a drum in the west tower. At this time, the sound of evening drums is melodious!
In front of the huge Sakyamuni Buddha, there were two people - a woman and a man. The Taoist said: "Amitabha, one life, one autumn of vegetation, little benefactor, you and I are destined, everything comes and everything goes. There is no hope in this life, and there is no hope in the next life!” The woman said: “My little girl is tender and has walked thousands of miles to see Master Wangyue. I hope you will forgive me!”
"Amitabha, my little benefactor, please look at the moon and be polite." Rouqing said, "Master Wangyue, my little girl has thousands of knots in her heart. I hope the master can give me some enlightenment."
The master clasped his hands together and said silently: "The sea of suffering is boundless, little benefactor, please come back."
Rouqing said in confusion: "Master, where should I go back?"
The master said: "Wherever you come from, go wherever you come from!"
"Tenderness is dull, please teach me the master."
The master said affectionately: "Once we go thousands of miles away, we will never see you again! Little benefactor, please cherish me all the way!"
Rouqing said: "Master Wangyue, Rouqing came here today just for one person. Rouqing doesn't know what she did wrong. Please enlighten me." The master said: "Amitabha, everything is cause and effect!"
"I killed someone, am I not wrong?"
"you're not wrong!"
"But the moment I drew my sword, I hesitated!" The master said: "The moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror are all illusions! Do you understand this?"
Rouqing was overjoyed: "I understand, thank you Master Wangyue. I would like to express my gratitude to Rouqing, and Master will cherish it!"
"Little donor, take care of me!"
Rouqing walked down the stone stairs and heard the master say: "I was worried that being passionate would harm my holy life, and when I entered the mountain, I was afraid that I would not be able to fall in love with you. I have peace and security in this world, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you!"
After walking out of Lingyin Temple, two more hills lead to the way down the mountain. Rouqing has been practicing martial arts with Qiuyu's mother-in-law since she was a child. Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now she is eighteen years old. At the same age as Hua, she still can't Can't be happy: She doesn't know what kind of hatred there is between Qiu Yu's mother-in-law and Jiang Huyue!
Some things, just let them pass, just like the wind sweeping away fallen leaves, leaving no trace on the snow...
Thousands of mountains are filled with smoke, the forests are dyed, and the maple leaves are drunk red, as if they are welcoming the girl from afar. Through the forests, huge blue stone pillars reflect four big white characters: Thousands of Mountains Snow!
Her tender eyes lit up: It's great. After passing this place, you will reach the land of Mian and Yue!
The past events are still vivid in her mind. She remembers that eight years ago, her father sent her here, pointed at the endless land in front of her and said: "Rou'er, look, this is the Moon Country. We, Mian and Yue, are like brothers and sisters." Just as friendly, in a few years, when I have pacified the northern and southern kingdoms, brought peace to the Central Plains, and stopped killing, I will come back!"
Before leaving, her father put a cyan token in her hand and said, "Rou'er, this is our entry token to Mian Kingdom. You keep it well. After you learn martial arts, I'll wait for you here!" "
It has been eight years now, and my father has not come after all. Is he okay? Are the people of Miang and Yue okay?
Rouqing took out the token from her pocket. There was a word "攔" engraved in the center of the token. It had been eight years, but it was still shining brightly!
After taking a short rest, she walked down the mountain along a trail for nearly an hour. A row of tall walls could be vaguely seen in the distance. Her father said that this place used to be a livestock farm in the Moon Kingdom, where groups of cattle and cows grew. Sheep and horses are used by the people for production! But now, there was nothing here except tall walls, and a few light red doors were locked. She jumped slightly, and she had reached the inner courtyard. She saw overgrown weeds, abandoned stables, and countless dilapidated houses. It seems that it has been uninhabited for many years. Could it be that the economic conditions of Yue Kingdom have improved and the people here have moved away? Are they all living a happy life?
Rouqing was meditating when suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and she saw two people jumping off the white horses, both dressed in black. One person said outside the wall: "Brother, this is it. I'll go in, and you will guard the outside for a while." Wait for my whistle!”
"Well, don't worry, boss, you have to look carefully!" another person said.
Just hearing the sound of the door "squeaking", a dark figure flashed in. Behind a broken room, through the gap in the wall, Rouqing saw a burly man holding a big shovel in his hand, counting towards the stable. "One, two, three, four..." When he came to the fourth stable and stopped, he counted "one, two, three..." straight ahead. After taking three steps, the man in black stopped.
"Yes, it should be here!" So he picked up a big shovel and shoveled the soil on the ground. After a while, he shoveled out a cave and removed the surface soil. He only heard the sound of the shovel making a "bang, bang, bang" sound. The man squatted down and picked up a blue stone brick with all his strength. He quickly put his hands into the cave, and suddenly there was a burst of joy on his face: "Hahahaha, what a treasure!"
The man said to himself: "If such a treasure were exchanged for silver, I might not be able to use it all in a lifetime!" He held up a pair of shiny gold bracelets, took out a piece of silk from his arms, wrapped them, and then hid them carefully. With his arms in his arms, he walked towards the back room again, about three steps away, he climbed towards the pillar on the wall, took out a sack of things on the beam, and said happily: "It's all here, not bad, not bad!" So! He turned over and whistled outside the courtyard. The man in black immediately flashed in: "Boss, have you found it?"
"Well, it's all here, a lot!" He put the bag in front of him: "Let's divide it here, so we can go back and explain to my wife!" He picked up a bronze jade bowl from the bag Said: "This is a priceless treasure, brother, you take it first!" The brother carefully took the jade bowl, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. In an instant, the jade bowl was like a green gem, or like it was left on the grass. The bright stars in it made him unable to put it down! "We each have half of the treasure in this pocket, and no one will suffer!" said the boss.
Rouqing thought: Oh, it turns out these two people are here to share the stolen goods. No wonder they are so careful. I don’t know where all these treasures came from? I want to ask!
So he shouted: "Oh, there are so many treasures. These two brothers are really making a fortune!"
"Who, who's talking?"
The two of them tightened their bags and looked around in a panic!
"The treasures haven't been divided yet. You continue to divide them. I'll come over to join in the fun and feast my eyes on you!"
From behind the broken house, a tender smile came out. The two of them looked at it and laughed.
"Hey, when did the little beauty fall from the sky? She was hiding in the house alone and didn't come out early. Look, I scared the old man!" the boss said with a playful smile.
"The two brothers are very lucky today. There is no shortage of gold, silver, treasures and little beauty. You see how beautiful she is. Why don't you take her away at once? She will definitely sell for a good price, hahahaha!"
The two of them were talking and laughing, so uncomfortable!
"What kind of joke are you two eldest brothers talking about? How much money can a little girl like me sell for? But the treasure in this eldest brother's arms is probably priceless!" She pointed at the burly man and said with a smile!
"What priceless treasure? You can't talk nonsense!" the man asked.
"Little brother, as the saying goes, we share hardships together and share blessings together. This big brother of yours is really unscrupulous. He keeps his treasure to himself but refuses to share it with you. Hahahaha..."
"Don't listen to her nonsense, wait until I go up and shut her mouth!"
The boss was angry and said viciously: "Little beauty, I will deal with you now!"
After saying that, he spread his arms and rushed towards Rouqing. Before she could get up, her feet slipped and a "vicious dog pounced on food" fell to the ground! Unwilling to give up, he kicked up his feet again and stood up. He raised his hands and clawed at Rouqing's shoulders. The moment his hands reached the shoulders, Rouqing's upper body suddenly flashed, and a strand of long hair fell from his finger. The time slipped by leisurely, and the boss didn't grab anything. He used tenderness to counterattack, and the long sword touched his waist lightly. The boss's body instantly tilted, and he hit the doorpost with his head. He hurriedly put his palms on the ground and tried to get up. , only to hear a "bang", a pair of gold bracelets rolled to the ground! It was too late for him to block it! "Okay, boss, you have indeed hidden the gold bracelet!" After saying that, the younger brother went to grab the gold bracelet, and the two of them fought!
Seeing this, Rouqing thought: These two men only have money in their hearts. As the saying goes - people die for money and birds die for food. Don't they understand? If I don’t kill them, let them kill each other!
Rouqing thought: "Money is something external to the body. I don't want this ill-gotten wealth!" Then he jumped up and somersaulted out of the courtyard wall. He saw two horses quietly waiting for their owners, and then he climbed up She stepped forward and patted the horse's back gently, saying: "The horse is obedient, give me a ride!" So she jumped on the horse and galloped away!
The Moon Kingdom City, which is hundreds of miles in radius, is closely connected to the surrounding mountains. A long river in the city runs through the east and west sides like a ribbon. It can be imagined that the Moon Kingdom has convenient transportation and dense waterways. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!
Besides, Rouqing rode on her horse and arrived at Yueguo City in less than half a day. In this city, the city gate faces south. The gate body is made of bronze and is about ten feet high. There are tall and thick fortresses on both sides of the gate. The fortress is densely connected by city walls, making it impregnable and indestructible!
The entrance to the city tower was heavily guarded by soldiers, and people checking the Moon Kingdom tokens when entering or leaving the city gate. Seeing this, Rouqing quickly dismounted. She looked back and looked into the distance. Not far from the city gate, there was an inn. The shop was crowded with people. It was a prosperous business! Looking at the roof again, colorful flags are fluttering, and one flag reflects an eye-catching word "moon" fluttering in the wind! "This place is nice, let me go and find out!" Rouqing said to herself.
"Horse, are you hungry?" She patted the horse's belly and found a bulging package under the saddle. She took it off and opened it. There was actually a bunch of white money inside! "Yes, yes, the horse treats me well!" She weighed the silver in the bag with her hands: "In this world, people are in a panic, and they all have a few taels of silver. But these few taels of silver can solve all the problems in the world. Such a style, haha, I can have a delicious meal today!"
She entered the store and saw that the room was full of guests, but she saw an empty seat at the very end, so she stepped forward and sat down. There were several people sitting at the table, and a strong smell of alcohol hit her face!
"Hey, what a pretty little beauty, where did you come from?"
"Quick, hurry up and have a few drinks with the soldiers!" Rouqing Xunyin looked over and saw that the man was very drunk. The man next to him was pointing at her and yelling. Rouqing lowered her head and saw a man with a sign hanging on his waist. After taking a closer look, a word "月" came into view. This was the token for entering and exiting the Moon Kingdom. She smiled at the man and sat next to her. The man said: "Little beauty, come and drink with me." !" She said with a tender smile: "A few officials, if you don't go to guard the border during your great time, why are you sitting here drinking?"
When the man heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Beauty, don't you know something? Our Yue Kingdom defeated the Mian Kingdom, and all the kings of the Mian Kingdom were arrested and executed three days later. We are so happy!" When Rouqing heard it, she felt a pain in her heart. Is this true? But she still forced a smile and said happily: "Congratulations to all the officials on your promotion and wealth, but I wonder where the king of Mian State is?"
"Beauty, why are you asking so many questions? That's a dead man, don't worry about him, come on, drink, drink!" Rouqing pointed to the wine bottle on the table and said to the shopkeeper: "Waiter, add more wine." With one hand, Reach into the man's waist!
"Aren't the Yue Kingdom and the Mian Kingdom very friendly? Why start a war?" Rouqing asked.
The other man tilted his head and replied: "What kind of friendship? We in the Yue Kingdom have set up a dragnet, just waiting to catch all the people in the Mian Kingdom!"
"Third brother, don't say more, you drank too much..."
"Why did you drink too much? I'm not drunk. If General Mian hadn't resisted so hard, Mian would have been destroyed by us long ago!"
Why, why war! Where is my father? Is he okay now?
She had no answers to all the questions in her heart, and her heart was like a knife! So, she raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp. It's not that she won't drink wine, but she will drink it when it's time to drink! Revenge doesn't mean that she won't avenge it, but she will definitely avenge it when it's time to retaliate!
