Feiyun looked outside the cave and saw more than ten burly men in powerful attire standing four feet away from the cave entrance. In front of this group of big men, two young men and a beautiful girl in red stood side by side.
Feiyun took a closer look and saw that the person standing in the middle was Xu Zhitang, with Luo Sidang and Xing'er on both sides. I only heard Xu Zhitang say: "Old madam, why are you so unkind? We just want to rest in the cave for a few days without affecting you!"
It turned out that Xu Zhitang and others went into the cave to check yesterday and found nothing, so they had no choice but to leave as promised. But Xu Zhitang was unwilling to go down the mountain like this, and Luo Sitang also believed that Wu Zetian was still on the mountain.
Xu Zhitang dispersed his men and continued to search for clues. But when the sun was about to set, everyone gathered together, but no clues were found.
Xu Zhitang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and was about to take everyone down the mountain. At this time, Xing'er saw a hunter coming over and seemed to be going down the mountain.
Myolie went up to the hunter and asked about what happened on the mountain. When Orion saw Myolie's beauty, cuteness, and politeness, he felt good about her, so he told Myolie some of the things he knew.
Xing'er always felt that there was something wrong with the cave in the back mountain, so she deliberately talked about that cave, saying that she and others just wanted to go there, but didn't know how to get there, and wanted Orion to give him some advice.
When Orion heard this, he quickly dissuaded him. He said that the cave had been occupied more than a month ago and no one was allowed to approach it. This group of people arranged for people to guard them while they were still on their way to the cave.
These road-guards are all tall, armed with swords, and extremely fierce. Many people were driven back by this group. Since then, no one has dared to go to that area for more than a month.
Xing'er deliberately asked: "Uncle, are there any treasures hidden in that cave?"
The hunter shook his head and said: "Little girl, we have lived under the mountain for generations and are very familiar with Qingfeng Mountain. We have been to the caves occupied by these people before, and we will not hide anything at all."
Xing'er then deliberately asked: "Since there is no treasure, what are these people occupying this cave for?" Do you want to use this as your nest and become a robber? "
The Orion quickly advised Xing'er not to talk nonsense. If these people heard her, she might suffer disaster. He quietly told Xing'er that when he went hunting in the mountains a few days ago, he saw this group of people walking towards the cave carrying a big bag.
Xing'er didn't take it seriously, thinking that they might have bought some food from the mountain and it wasn't worth making a fuss about. The Orion waved his hand and told Xing'er that based on his experience, he could tell at a glance that there was a person inside.
When Xu Zhitang heard this, he quickly asked what day it was. Orion thought for a long time before telling Xu Zhitang. Xu Zhitang asked again why those people let him go and didn't arrest him.
The hunter said that he was on a tree by the roadside that day, looking for traces of prey. He saw the group purely by accident, and the group certainly didn't know he was in a nearby tree.
Xu Zhitang roughly calculated the number of days, and that day happened to be the day Wu Zetian disappeared. Xu Zhitang quickly asked the hunter. The hunter shook his head, saying that he was scared, and never went to that area again.
Xu Zhitang thanked Orion and gave him some money to express his gratitude. Unexpectedly, Orion made money after saying a few words. Naturally, he was overjoyed and happily went down the mountain with the money.
Xu Zhitang told Luo Sidang and Xing'er that he suspected that the person in the bag was probably Wu Zetian, otherwise such a coincidence would not have happened.
Myolie immediately said that she would go to the cave immediately to find out. Luo Sitang disagreed. He thought it would be dark soon and if he went to find them at this time, it would not be effective. Because even if they really arrest someone, as long as they hide the person, there is no way for outsiders to find him quickly.
Luo Sitang felt that he could not disturb this group of people tonight. He would guard outside their cave in the early hours of tomorrow morning and asked to go into the cave to rest in the name of finding a place to rest.
Luo Sitang believed that if they agreed immediately, it would mean that they had not done anything evil. But if they refuse or find excuses to refuse, there must be something wrong with them.
Xu Zhitang agreed very much with Luo Sitang's plan. Seeing that the two senior brothers were in agreement, Xing'er did not insist on her own opinion. The three of them took a dozen strong men and found a random place to rest for the night.
The sky was slightly bright, and the three of them led everyone to the entrance of the cave.
Xing'er was impatient and wanted to go in directly. Naturally, the people at the entrance of the cave refused to let him go, so they started arguing and making noise.
Seeing this, Xu Zhitang quickly stopped Xing'er's reckless behavior. He asked the man guarding the cave entrance to go in and tell Mrs. Wang that he had something to discuss with her.
After a while, Wang Hai came out with someone. After seeing Xu Zhitang, Wang Hai cupped his hands and said, "Xu Shaoxia, what do you mean by running here so early in the morning and making noise?"
Xu Zhitang returned the greeting with cupped hands: "Wang Shaoxia, yesterday we missed the time to go down the mountain because we were eager to find people, so we had to sleep on the mountain all night. A brother accidentally caught a cold and needed to find a place to rest. But there was no one around, so this cave was the only place where we could stay temporarily. . So I took the liberty to come here and ask Wang Shaoxia to make it convenient for us to go in and rest for a few days."
Wang Hai knew that Xu Zhitang was just making excuses, and actually wanted to go into the cave to check, so he immediately said unhappily: "Xu Shaoxia, you already checked yesterday, and there is no one you are looking for here. You also promised that as long as there is no one you are looking for, , just leave here and stop disturbing us. The Yandang sect is also a well-known and upright sect, how can we go back on our words and break our promises? It really damages the reputation of your sect!"
Xing'er was furious and shouted: "Nonsense! Who has gone back on his word? We just came to the cave to rest, and it has nothing to do with you! This cave does not belong to your family, so why can you rest in it and we can't?"
Although Wang Hai knew what Xing'er said was reasonable, he couldn't give up and said, "Although what the girl said makes sense, you should also know the first-come-first-served rule. It's not that we don't agree, it's really inconvenient. I know Qianshan There is also a cave, you might as well go there to rest.”
Luo Sitang immediately responded: "The front mountain is so far away, but our brothers are in urgent need of rest. We don't use the cave in front of us, and we have to run to such a far place. Aren't you deliberately harming our brothers? We will not affect you either. , We are all from the world, so it is natural to help each other out, so why is there any inconvenience!"
Seeing Wang Hai's refusal, Luo Sitang became even more convinced that there was something wrong with the cave, so he insisted on going in. Of course Wang Hai couldn't agree, and the two sides argued.
After listening to a few words, Xing'er couldn't help but get angry and shouted softly: "My senior brother, Wang, for the sake of all of us being fellow martial artists, I have been patiently talking to you for so long. If you still don't agree, We had to break in!”
At this time, Mrs. Wang happened to come to the entrance of the cave. After hearing Xing'er's words, she hurried forward and said with a smile: "Young lady is still so impatient. If you have something to say, you might as well say it slowly. Why get angry?"
Myolie still wanted to speak, but Xu Zhitang waved his hand to stop her, and he answered: "Senior, several of my brothers are unwell. I want to go into the cave to let them have a rest. I don't mean any harm, and I ask my senior to do it."
Of course Mrs. Wang knew that this was just Xu Zhitang's excuse, but she did not point it out. Instead, she said: "Xu Shaoxia, this makes me embarrassed. We are not familiar with each other, and our lives are very different. It is indeed inconvenient to live in the same cave. Old man I think you should find another place!"
When Xu Zhitang saw Mrs. Wang, she also refused. He thought that there was indeed a problem in the cave. In this case, he couldn't be too polite, as he would fall out sooner or later.
Xu Zhitang's face darkened and he said coldly: "It seems that seniors don't care about the safety of our brothers at all, which makes me very disappointed. But I'm afraid this matter is not your fault. We have to go in!"
After hearing what Xu Zhitang said, Xing'er said happily: "Elder brother, I have told you a long time ago that not everyone has a chivalrous heart! Let's do this, I will open the way in front and you will follow me. I want to watch Look, who dares to stop this girl!"
Xing'er immediately stepped forward and walked towards the entrance of the cave. Just as Wang Hai was about to stop him, Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand to hold him back, but she stood in front of Xing'er.
When Xing'er saw it was Mrs. Wang, she said, "Old madam, you are too old. I really don't want to fight with you, so let's find someone younger!"
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's a pity that juniors like me don't have the skills of girls. I have to use these old bones to learn the Yandang sect's tricks!"
Xing'er originally wanted to compete with a master, so she stopped being polite and said, "Senior, be careful, watch your moves!" and struck hard with one palm, and the strong wind of the palm immediately hit Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang's face darkened, and she did not dodge, but waved her palms to greet him. Hearing a snapping sound, Xing'er swayed and took two steps back before standing firm.
Xing'er was shocked, Mrs. Wang's skill seemed to be better than hers. Xing'er refused to admit defeat and immediately pulled out the sword and went straight to Mrs. Wang's throat.
Mrs. Wang snorted, and with one move of her crutch, she deflected Xing'er's sword. Then Mrs. Wang’s crutch hit Xing’er’s head. Xing'er dodged to avoid it, flipped her wrist, and the sword pierced Mrs. Wang's ribs.
Xing'er dodged and drew her sword almost at the same time. Although Xing'er's internal strength is slightly weaker than Mrs. Wang's, her swordsmanship is very exquisite. Seeing Xing'er's agility, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but admire her secretly. She didn't expect Xing'er to be so skilled in swordsmanship at such a young age.
Mrs. Wang did not dare to underestimate her, she immediately concentrated on receiving and executing the moves, dancing with a cane like a tiger. The two of them went back and forth, jumping vertically and horizontally, and fought for more than 20 rounds, with no winner or loser.
Feiyun had seen the fight between Myolie and Meimei. On the surface, the two were tied. In fact, Meimei was clearly superior because Meimei didn't fight back, but just neutralized Myolie's offensive.
But what surprised Feiyun was that in just a few days, Xing'er's swordsmanship actually improved greatly. Feiyun naturally didn't know that Xing'er had been studying swordsmanship whenever she had free time these days. With Xu Zhitang's guidance, Xing'er already had a very high level of understanding, so her swordsmanship improved quickly.
