It is very quiet in the mountains at night, there are not many calls of birds and insects, and the occasional howling of wolves from nowhere pierces the darkness, showing the danger of the mountains. Tonight is a cloudy day, and the moon has already hid behind the clouds to sleep. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, I don¡¯t know when the tender crescent will show its head. Thanks to Situ Ping and Mr. Ma who are martial arts practitioners and have sharp eyesight, they can walk like flying in the dark night.
When they came to the front of the Five Claws Peak, there was a dead silence in front of them, only the sound of wind blowing could be heard. Wuzhuo Peak Thumb Mountain is a short and fat little mountain. It is hard to see how high it is in the dark. To the east of the mountain is a flat land with a radius of four or five. Above, "rustle" sound. Mr. Ma looked at it, and said to Situ Ping: "Here it is, let's wait here." Then, through the dry grass on the flat ground, he walked to a protruding stone as big as a lying cow on the flat ground, and flew up , sat down cross-legged, and said nothing, as if he had settled down. Situ Ping also followed him to the stone, but she didn't jump on the stone, but stood leaning against the stone, holding the sword at her waist, her eyes patrolling around, observing this familiar place and strange night.
The wind was blowing like this, and neither of them seemed to move, and the time for a cup of tea passed like this.
Suddenly, Mr. Ma opened his eyes and looked towards the woods to the north. Situ Ping sensed Mr. Ma's movement, turned around to look at the forest, and listened carefully, but found nothing. He was surprised when he heard someone Just as he was running towards here from the woods in the north while exercising lightness kung fu, Situ Ping couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart: "You deserve to be a disciple of a famous family."
After a while, people walking at night came before them, it was Wen Wenhai and his junior sister, who also left their horses at the foot of the mountain and rushed up on foot. Wen Wenhai didn't jump down from the tree in a hurry. After carefully looking at the situation in the arena, he called his junior sister to jump off the treetops. He didn't greet the people in the arena, but sat cross-legged under the tree like Mr. Ma, closing his eyes and meditating. His junior sister didn't stand up, she took out a cushion from the backpack, put it on the ground, and sat on the cushion by herself, looking at her, she seemed to be resting.
Mr. Ma also closed his eyes again, as if he didn't see anyone coming, so Situ Ping could only stand there silently.
After a while, several people opened their eyes at the same time and looked towards the path opposite the mountain peak. From the other side of the path, there was a sound of footsteps. In this silent wilderness where only the sound of the wind was heard, the ordinary sound of footsteps seemed a bit strange. . The sound of footsteps came from far to near, but there was no one in sight. The four people were looking forward to it, wanting to see who this person walking in the mountains was.
The people approached and saw clearly, and everyone was even more surprised. It turned out to be two people, walking side by side with the same steps, the same figure and the same movements, and it was hard to tell whether they were the same clothes or not at night. Is it the same face. However, watching the two of them take half a step more than ordinary people, in fact, everyone already knew the answer in their hearts, and they all thought in unison: "So, the other family is them."
The two walked to the sidelines and looked at the two groups of people in the arena. They didn't make a sound, and they didn't enter the arena again. They just stood there straight, motionless.
The four people in the arena saw that the two of them were standing there without moving, just like before, with their eyes closed and resting their minds. It seemed that there were still people not coming.
After another cup of tea time, when everyone was a little anxious, a voice suddenly came down from the sky: "The chills are chilling, it's late to the Changting Pavilion, and the shower has just stopped." A figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the venue, and the six present opened their eyes together. They didn't seem to notice how this person came out, but they all yelled at the same time: "Layman Yanming?"
I saw this one who had just arrived in the arena, tall and tall, the color of the clothes and scarf on his head could not be seen clearly, but his thin face and long beard under his jaw were exactly what people in the Jianghu were familiar with. Everyone didn't hesitate at this time, they stepped forward and said: "Layman Yanming, the younger generation is being polite."
Layman Yanming brushed his long beard with his right hand, and said with a smile: "The old man is late, let me wait for a long time, you are not familiar with each other, let's get to know each other first, and the task will come later." Everyone supports each other."
Mr. Ma in Jinyi, who came first, clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Ma Xiangyang is Ma Xiangyang. This is the head of the Evil Tiger Gang, Situ Ping." Then he was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, and then said, "The Evil Tiger Gang is here, and she is my leader." Your subordinates, come and guide us."
Layman Yanming said with a smile: "Shaoxia Ma is really thoughtful, so that would be a burden to the Master Situ."
Situ Ping hurriedly saluted and said, "I am lucky to be able to serve you all."
Then Wen Wenhai also clasped his fists and saluted: "I am Wen Wenhai from the Piaomiao sect, and this is my junior sister Xue Qing." Xue Qing said:Only then did she remove the veil on her face, revealing Yi Chen Yi Xi's true face, but no one could see clearly in the dark night, she didn't speak, and just hugged everyone.
Layman Yanming said: "I have heard the names of Shaoxia Wen and Hero Xue for a long time. If I meet you again, they are worthy of their names. I am very relieved."
In the end, the two people who stood quietly clasped their fists at the same time and said to everyone: "Tan family, Tan Wen."
After everyone introduced each other, Layman Yanming put away the smile on his face and said: "Okay, let me introduce myself too. I am Layman Yanming, the owner of Yanming Villa. From now on, everyone knows each other and knows each other. Who are the four forces involved in this matter tonight, and our action begins now."
"When you arrive, the elders of your sect will also give you orders. Tonight, I will listen to everything. I have also reached an agreement with your sect. We will talk about the specific content as we walk. Now take your token Take them all out."
After finishing speaking, Layman Yanming took out a piece of leather that was one foot square from his bosom, and Ma Xiangyang, Wen Wenhai and Tan Wen also took out the same thing from his bosom. Layman Yanming handed the piece in his hand to Ma Xiangyang, and said, "You put them together." The rest of the people also handed the leather to Ma Xiangyang, and Layman Yanming took out a night pearl from his bosom and handed it to Ma Xiangyang. Situ Ping said, "Please take a look at this graphic, Master Situ."
So Situ Ping received the Ye Mingzhu, and Ma Xiangyang quickly put together four pieces of leather under the light of the Ye Ming Pearl. Under the faint light of the Ye Ming Pearl, everyone could see a map drawn on the leather, which looked like five fingers. There is also a circle drawn between the fingers. Situ Ping carefully identified the map, looked at each other with Ma Xiangyang, and said to everyone: "That's right, this picture is the Five Claw Peak, and the lengths of the five claws are all the same. The index finger is long and the ring finger is the longest."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Layman Yanming, and Layman Yanming said: "That's very good, everyone takes back their own things." Ma Xiangyang returned the four pieces of leather in his hand to the original owner as promised, and Situ Ping also returned the Ye Mingzhu. Layman Yanming gave it to Layman Yanming. Layman Yanming took Ye Mingzhu and said, "Master Situ, do you know where the circled place should be?"
Situ Ping said: "It's a sour jujube grove. I've been there before, and once let a wolf dog go in, but I never saw it come out again."
Layman Yanming said: "That's very good, then please trouble the leader of the Situ Gang to lead the way."
Situ Ping said: "Okay, then please follow me." After speaking, he performed lightness kung fu and walked away.
Layman Yanming looked at Ma Xiangyang, Wen Wenhai and Tan Wen in turn, they nodded knowingly, and chased after them with lightness kung fu in this order.
Finally, Layman Yanming carefully looked around and found nothing unusual, so he got up and followed them like a lightning shot. The only thing left is that lonely Crouching Bull Rock is still there, the wind blows, blows up fallen leaves and withered grass, and covers all the traces in a short while, it seems that no one has ever been to such a remote place at such a night .
It is said that Situ Ping led a group of seven people to perform lightness kung fu, passing through the dark night like a gust of wind and lightning, and arrived at the jujube forest mentioned earlier in about two sticks of incense. At this time the moon had set in the west, and thick black clouds still covered the sky. It might be dawn soon, and this was the darkest time of the night.
The sour jujube forest in the dark can't be seen clearly, like a huge monster entrenched on the mountainside, Situ Ping looked at this place he had been to before, and felt a little strange, so there is such a difference between day and night, But they don't know what secrets are hidden in this mysterious jujube forest, so that people from the four factions come here all night to cooperate like this.
Situ Ping stopped, and when everyone arrived, he said to everyone: "Everyone, this is the jujube forest marked by the circle on the map. According to the height comparison, it is here."
Layman Yanming said: "It should be right." After finishing speaking, he did not go to check, but sat on the floor, looked at everyone's incomprehension, and said with a smile: "There is still a period of time before we start, everyone rest Let me tell you something, otherwise you will still be confused, and you can guarantee that nothing will happen when you go in."
So the other six people sat on the floor in a semicircle in front of Layman Yanming.
Layman Yanming sorted out his thoughts, looked at the juniors sitting around, and said, "Do you know the one-armed sword god three hundred years ago?" Everyone shook their heads.
Layman Yanming continued: "Before February 2 last year, I didn't know, and neither did your master."
"When the second dragon raised its head in February last year, my wife and I went to the Longshen Temple in Yucheng to burn incense. In the Dragonshen Temple, I saw your Wan Chengjiu, Wan Jianfeng's Wan Chengjiu, and his family, as well as you Misty The head of the Pai Ou Pengou, the head of the Tan family, Tan Yefeng, the four of us have been close friends for a long time, and we have never met before. After finally meeting together, we abandoned our family and found a place to discuss together. Martial arts, it's time to compete for alcohol."
"We brought swords and wine and found Wutong Mountain next to Yucheng. We planned to spend a few days happily, but unexpectedly, we encountered a strange thing as soon as we reached the top of the mountain."
