From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 26 Public Enemy of the Five Mountains
Yang Qing arrived in Xiangyang two days later, and was never blocked on the road.

But to his disappointment, the entire Xiangyang city did not find a blacksmith who could forge cold iron swords.

The only good thing is that an old blacksmith reminded him that he could go to Longquan County, Zhejiang Province to try his luck.

From Xiangyang to Longquan is less than a thousand miles away, but he had no choice but to ride out of the city on horseback, first to find out if the valley where Dugu Qiubai lives in seclusion is still there.

Yang Qing replenished dry food and water in the city, walked around Xiangyang City, and finally found a mountain in the northwest that matched the description in memory.

He pushed his horse forward and walked through a forest, then crossed two low hills, and finally found a deep mountain road.

The road was no longer suitable for riding a horse, so he tied the horse to the side of the road and used his lightness skills to gallop between the mountain roads.

The road was rather tortuous. After walking for about half an hour, he found a relatively hidden valley surrounded by jagged rocks.

Flying into the valley, I saw that it was full of weeds and fallen leaves, and the ground was full of gravel.

However, he went all over the valley, and found neither the sword mound, nor the sword marks left on the surrounding mountain walls, and there was not even a single cave.

He guessed that it might be because of the passage of time, the mountain wall has long since decayed and fallen off due to the wind and rain, or it might be that the broken rocks have fallen down over the years and buried the sword mound together.

He was also prepared for this kind of result in advance, and finally looked around carefully before stopping.

After leaving the valley, the sun was already westward, so he rode his horse to the south, intending to go from Jingmen to Jingzhou Port, follow the Yangtze River waterway to Poyang Lake, and then turn overland to Longquan.

At noon that day, Yang Qing arrived at the outskirts of Jingmen.

The sun was high and the sun was scorching hot.Seeing a tea stall with three thatched huts in front of him, he stopped and went to have a rest.

With his back to the outside of the shed, he was drinking tea when he suddenly heard several horses galloping behind him.

When the horseman stopped in front of the tea stall, a familiar voice came to his ears: "Man, three bowls of tea."

"okay."

The guy agreed and arranged for the three of them to sit next door.

"Brother Lu, this time the master sent us to go south to search for Master Yang... Yang Qing's whereabouts. If we meet him, are we really going to attack him?"

A female voice asked hesitantly.

"Are you crazy?" Lu Dayou interjected, "Senior brother Yang killed Fei Bin, the thirteenth eunuch of the Songshan sect, and that bastard Lao Denuo leaked the news, so the master had no choice but to pass the letter to each sect and expel him from the sect. , how can we really fight with him?"

Lu Dayou paused and continued: "Besides, senior brother Yang killed more than a dozen masters in Songshan at the foot of the mountain that night, and then killed a few disciples in Qingcheng in Anxi Town on the east side of Huashan Mountain. Quite a few, do you think we are his opponents?"

"I didn't mean that." The woman seemed a little anxious: "It's just that the master said that, and I don't understand what it means, so I asked."

"Ah..." Lu Dayou sighed, and said with emotion: "Master, there is no way out. Zuo Lengchan said that the second senior brother was a rebel who colluded with the Demon Sect, and ordered the Wuyue Sword Sect to capture and kill the second senior brother. I am a single person from Huashan." Thin, what can I do?

But the master sent me out to show his meaning, after all, my life was saved by him. "

The female disciple nodded and said worriedly: "Brother, tell me where did Senior Brother Yang go? So many people from Wuyue Sword Sect have been looking for him for many days, but there is no sign of him."

"I don't know either." Lu Dayou said: "Brother, he has no relatives and no reason. Over the years, he has rarely gone down the mountain and even has no friends. His departure is really confusing."

Yang Qing heard Lu Dayou talking with another female disciple, and only then did he know that he had been officially kicked out by Yue Buqun.Recalling that this was originally Linghu Chong's treatment, but now he enjoys it in advance.

After resting, he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, put down two copper coins and walked out of the tea shed openly.

"The girl surnamed Qu is to be blamed for this matter. If she hadn't come to Huashan, that thief Lao Denuo wouldn't have known that Senior Brother Yang had killed Fei Bin."

Another male disciple in the tea shed complained.

Lu Dayou said helplessly when he heard the words: "Who would have thought that the brothers who have been with each other for many years are actually spies from Songshan? It's a pity, Master Yang... Eh? Brother!"

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly saw a person coming out of the tea shed next to him.

His signature gray shirt, blue cloth shoes, his hair tied up with a gold and jade headband, and the green bamboo sheathed long sword swaying slightly as he walked around his waist, who else could it be if it wasn't Yang Qing?
Yang Qing stopped, smiled and looked back at Lu Dayou: "Junior Brother Lu, what a coincidence."

Three people from Lu Da suddenly saw Yang Qing appearing in front of them, they looked at each other in surprise, and then they came forward together and said, "Brother, where have you been these days, I have had a hard time finding it."

"What do you want me for? Are you taking me to Mount Song?"

"Brother..." Lu Dayou said with a wry smile, "Master and wife are also forced to do so."

"I know, don't worry. Go back and tell the two old men that I will bear the responsibility for the trouble I caused."

Lu Da nodded and said: "Senior brother, you must be careful. I heard that the Songshan Thirteen Taibao dispatched seven this time, and there are countless masters in the sect. Yuyinzi from Taishan School also brought many people to hunt you along the way, Qingcheng's Yu Canghai is looking for you all over the world."

"So, the place where the Five Sacred Mountains gather no longer has a place for me?"

"Senior brother, the world is so big, Zuo Lengchan may not be able to cover it with one hand."

"Naturally. By the way, where did the master and wife go? How is the elder brother's injury?"

Mentioning Linghu Chong, Lu Dayou's expression turned dark: "Eldest senior brother's injury hasn't improved yet, master took them to Luoyang to pay a visit to Senior Wang Yuanba, the 'Golden Sword Invincible' grandfather of Junior Brother Lin, and maybe go to Fuzhou in a few days. However, the senior brother and the master seem to have some misunderstandings..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yang Qing asked, "What misunderstanding can Master have about Senior Brother?"

Linghu Chong has not learned Dugu Nine Swords.

In the White Horse Temple, he saw clearly that night, Yue Buqun, who was supposed to be captured, defeated the black-faced man, but Linghu Chong didn't make a move.

Lu Dayou explained: "Senior brother has made great progress in swordsmanship since he came down from Chaoyang Peak, but he may have been influenced by you, senior brother, and his swordsmanship has changed. Master has been lukewarm to him these days."

"Well, you don't have to worry about the elder brother's injury, he has his own chance. As for the others, you will know in the future."

After Yang Qing finished speaking, he patted the long sword on his waist, got on his horse, and smiled at Lu Lu: "If you don't draw the sword, I will leave."

Lu Dayou shook his head like a rattle: "Brother, don't make fun of me."

Yang Qing turned to look at the other two disciples whom he didn't know very well. Seeing them hastily clasping hands together, he let out a long laugh and rode away.

"Brother take care!"

Lu Dayou yelled at Yang Qing's back, saw him waving his hands on the horse, turned around and said to the two people beside him: "Let's go, find an inn to rest for two days, and go back to report to the master."

The two disciples looked at each other and followed silently.
