Chapter 9 Julong Mountain

Wu Sheng was kicked out of the wine shop, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only leave with his back teeth gritted.

Walking out of Hongshanji, looking at a three-inch long incense stick and a pile of finger-sized mud pellets in my hand, I felt a sense of emptiness and loss for no reason.

Save some food, one ant nose money can almost make up for a full meal, seventy money is a lot of money, just inexplicably changed burning incense and mud pills, and there is an inscription to go northwest for three days
Is this cheated?
In a fit of anger, I almost threw away the burning incense, but in the end I was still reluctant.After thinking about it, and having no direction, he could only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and with a fluke mentality, he went to the northwest according to the oracle.

Northwest, northwest, where can I go in this direction?Wu Sheng pondered, desperately searching for useful information from his memory, but was blocked by a big river unknowingly.

The name of the river is Yanshui, and it flows fast. With his current skills, it is insurmountable. In his impression, there seems to be a ferry downstream, named Julong Ferry, and there are boatmen ferrying it.

Thinking of Julong Ferry, I suddenly thought of a person—Julong Mountain Man, who lived on Julong Mountain not far away and sold news for a living.

Due to the limited talent of Julongshan people, he has been trapped in the Qi refining environment, and his fighting skills are very unbearable. An ordinary Qi refining swordsman who has practiced for three to five years can beat him.

The reason why he is famous is because of his good news. Anyone who asks him for news must first provide a piece of news in exchange, and then pay a sum of money according to the value of the news. Wu Sheng asked him for it back then. once.

It was still the lush forest and bamboo, Wu Sheng knocked on the firewood door, and after a boy asked about his purpose, he welcomed Wu Sheng in.

I haven't seen it for a few years, and the regulation of this bamboo forest has become much larger, and a fish pond and a flower garden have been added.Entering along the stone path, at the end of the twists and turns, there is a thatched cottage, where the people of Julongshan are waiting.

"What's the matter for a distinguished guest to come to the door?" The man from Julongshan, with a wide robe and sleeves, looked a bit like a hermit.

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he no longer recognizes himself.No wonder, it has been five years since we last met.

"I have something to ask, and I hope the mountain people will let me know."

"please say."

"A few days ago, a monk named Jin Wuhuan entered the Daze, but now he has disappeared. He is holding a copper stick and a green snake hanging from his waist. He is different from ordinary people. I don't know where he is? Or, Where does he live? Are there any relatives nearby?"

After hearing this, the Julongshan people closed their eyelids and fell silent.

There is no rejection, which shows that he knows the news and is waiting for a deal.

Wu Sheng was heartbroken, and took out the last twenty coins he had left, and put them on the wooden floor in front of him.People in Julong Mountain sell news, and the charges range from ten to a hundred renminbi. Wu Sheng just inquired about an unknown monk, and it was not a secret, twenty renminbi was enough.

Putting down the money, the Julongshan man passed the money to his knees with a thin bamboo stick, then looked at Wu Sheng, waiting for Wu Sheng to exchange news first.

Wu Sheng thought it over a long time ago, and immediately said: "Assassin Ding Jia, he has disappeared since last year. Many people are looking for him. I know his whereabouts."

The man from Julong Mountain was slightly moved: "Please let me know."

Wu Sheng said: "Under the rocky peaks of Qunyu Mountain by the Miluo River."

Ding Jia and Wu Shengxiu are similar in cultivation level, they are both top assassins, but they have little contact with each other.Last year, Wu Sheng suddenly received a brief letter from Ding Jia, inviting him to assassinate the bandit Wei Fuchen together.But it was too late when Wu Sheng arrived at Qunyu Mountain, and only found Ding Jia's body, so he restrained himself and buried him on the spot, and the bandit Wei Fuchen also disappeared from sight.

Wu Sheng didn't say anything about Ding Jia's life or death, anyway, he should be able to find the tomb when he arrives, it can be regarded as unlocking a secret for the practice world, and it doesn't seem to be bad for him.

The man from Julong Mountain nodded slowly, stood up and said, "Your guest needs to check the information you want to inquire about, and please have dinner on the mountain."

After he left, Wu Sheng waited quietly in the hall, and after about half an hour, he also got up and came out, wandering around, looking for toilet convenience.After turning to the bamboo forest, I saw the boy was cooking by the kitchen. There was meat soup stewed in the urn, and dried meat was sliced ​​on the cutting board. It was fragrant and plentiful.

Wu Sheng said politely: "There is no need to do so much, a bowl of soup is enough."

The boy replied: "The mountain man told me to prepare more, there is not enough food."

Wu Sheng said: "Do your mountain people eat a lot?"

The boy laughed and said, "The Shanren just used it before noon."

I asked the boy about the location of the latrine, and it turned out to be behind a clump of green vines nearby, so he turned around to solve the problem, and Wu Sheng went back to the main hall and continued to wait.While waiting, the urn full of meat soup and the meat jerky piled up on the chopping board kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

After waiting for a long time, the man from Julong Mountain came back with a food basket and warmly greeted Wu Sheng for dinner.

A bowl of meat soup, a plate of dried meat, three pieces of rice cakes, and a jar of wine.

"Your honored guest is waiting, please eat." The Julongshan man took a spoonful of wine from the urn and poured it into the wine cup: "This is home-brewed rice wine. Please taste it."

Looking at the food in front of him, Wu Sheng asked, "Don't mountain people eat?"

The man from Julongshan said with a smile, "I've used it before noon, so I'm not hungry." Seeing that Wu Sheng didn't hold up his chopsticks, he laughed, and took a wine cup to serve himself, and held up a cup to invite: "Please!" drank.

Wu Sheng picked up the wine cup slowly, and asked, "Can the Shanren tell us about Jin Wuhuan's whereabouts?"

Julongshan said: "Talk while eating."

Wu Sheng put the wine cup in his mouth, but didn't drink it: "Please tell me, otherwise I won't be able to eat."

The man from Julong Mountain nodded and said: "It is true that Jin Wuhuan has been to Daze, but he has no whereabouts now, but he has a good friend in Tianshan Gorge, named Xin Xitang, you can go to Tianshan Gorge, you will gain something... Please Drink it up!"

Wu Sheng nodded, put down the wine cup, and silently stared at Julongshanren.

The man from Julong Mountain laughed again: "But the food and drink are not suitable for distinguished guests?"

Wu Sheng suddenly asked, "How many guests did Shan Ren invite?"

The man from Julong Mountain was startled: "What do you mean by your honored guest?"

Wu Sheng asked, "Shanren is planning a banquet today?"

The Julongshan people blinked: "Where do we start?"

Wu Sheng asked again: "You don't entertain any guests, and the cook cooks so many meals, who is it for?"

The sleeve corners of Julongshanren trembled slightly, and a drop of sweat slid down the tip of his nose from his forehead.

Wu Sheng stretched his hand into his bosom, the Julongshan man sat upright, but the seat suddenly moved back a few feet, he drew a long sword from under the seat, and held it in front of him.

Wu Sheng took out a stick of burning incense from his arms, took a flint and lit it, and then looked at the Julong Mountain Man facing him: "Three questions, if I am not satisfied with the answer when the incense burns out, the Mountain Man will die."

The Julong Mountain man's face was pale, his long sword trembled slightly, and he couldn't help looking out the door.

Wu Sheng said: "Did the Shanren recognize me? If you recognize me, you should know that you can't escape from this thatched cottage."

The man from Julong Mountain was short of breath, looked at the burning incense and roared, "Ask!"

Wu Sheng smiled: "I have already asked the first question."

The man from Julong Mountain immediately replied: "You are the assassin Wu Sheng!" When he answered, he pressed his left hand on the floor, but when he touched the floor, his whole body was sore and dizzy, and he couldn't exert any strength, and then he fell to the ground , unconscious.

Before coma, a thought flashed in his mind: Isn't he a great master of refining gods?To actually use a lot of mist...
