The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 37

Everyone walked for more than ten days, and Murong Yunyao also followed for more than ten days.

For more than ten days, the weather gradually became warmer, and the believers walked faster and faster, but Murong Yunyao was getting more and more haggard, and the money in her pocket was gradually thinning out.She thought about giving up and returning to Bianliang many times, but every time she had this thought, she was replaced by a spontaneous chivalrous heart, and instantly dismissed all these thoughts.

Under the leadership of Jijiu, all the believers went to Jiangnan West Road. They have always crossed mountains and never entered towns. Today they entered a big mountain again.Murong Yunyao followed closely behind. Over the past few days, her tracking skills have become more and more refined.

The terrain of this mountain is rugged, and there are many forked roads, it is very difficult to walk, and you will lose your way if you are not careful.Murong Yunyao followed them into a forest, while walking through the forest, suddenly five or six rope-like things fell from the tree, and they crawled towards Murong Yunyao in a zigzag manner.It turned out to be several black and white poisonous snakes.

Murong Yunyao and Murong Yanzhao had learned some methods of poison production and detoxification since childhood, so she recognized at a glance that it was the legendary extremely poisonous corona snake.Although these snakes are highly venomous, they are generally not aggressive unless someone provokes them.But today, for some reason, the heads of these snakes stood up all at once, and kept spitting red letters at Murong Yunyao.

"Unlucky, this girl really has a bad year!" Murong Yunyao stomped her feet angrily, then drew a long sword from her back to protect her chest, and fixed her eyes on the group of silver snakes that were staring at her.

"Ss-ss-"

These silver ring snakes kept making blood-curdling noises. No matter how courageous Murong Yunyao was, she was a little scared, but she didn't back down, and continued to look at the poisonous snakes with her sword, as if both sides were waiting for the other to strike first. , good first move first.

Soon, the group of silver ring snakes lost their patience and jumped up from the ground, biting Murong Yunyao with their cold fangs.Murong Yunyao held her breath and focused, trying to calm herself down, she slowly pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to go.

These beasts probably thought that Murong Yunyao was intimidated, so they rushed to Murong Yunyao in an instant, less than five feet away from her.The stench from them rushed towards Murong Yunyao's face with the strong wind, which made her feel sick, and her cheeks were burning hot, but she still stared at the group of courtesans motionlessly. A poisonous snake that pounces on itself.

Just when the heads of several snakes with red letters were less than three inches away from her, suddenly a cold light rose, and then five or six streaks of blood splashed out, these snakes were cut in two in an instant, and the snake corpses fell to the ground , dyed the grass bright red.

Murong Yunyao looked at the snake body scattered on the ground, breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I was never lazy in practicing swords when I was a child, otherwise the cult would not be destroyed, and I It becomes a delicious meal for poisonous snakes first!"

She looked forward and saw that the sacrificial wine had taken all the believers to nowhere, her expression froze, and she said anxiously: "These damned beasts, if they didn't block the way, how could I have been lost? This is good, I'm here Where can I find Tongling Gorge?" While complaining secretly, she slowly put away her long sword and continued to walk deep into the mountain.

I don't know how long it took before she walked out of the mountain in a circle.

At this time, Murong Yunyao was already parched and exhausted.Instinctively, she sat on the boulder by the side of the mountain to rest her feet, and thought to herself, "This is really strange. My girl has also practiced martial arts for ten years. How come her legs and feet are not as good as those of ordinary people? Could it be that they really have gods to help them?"

While Murong Yunyao was thinking wildly, a man approached from the mountain road.He was wearing a bamboo hat, covering most of his face, and he was wearing a plain black cloth. The mountain wind blew past, blowing his pale hair under the bamboo hat, adding a touch of chic and domineering to such an ordinary passer-by.

He walked slowly on the mountain road, humming a song softly, "Why should the world be divided into black and white? Traveling is a toil. There are strife and grievances in the court and the rivers and lakes, and the fame of the ages will be dusted. It is better to return a pot of wine, only the stars laugh at the old people." ..."

Murong Yunyao didn't pay attention to what he was singing, but saw the water bag on his waist, and hurriedly shouted: "Old man! Can you please give me a sip of water, I haven't drunk water all day, my throat It's going to smoke!"

When the man heard Murong Yunyao calling his old man, he couldn't help but pause, as if he had thought of something.Then he walked slowly to Murong Yunyao, took off the water bag from his waist, handed it to Murong Yunyao and said: "It's a long journey, we meet each other by fate! Take this bag of water."

Although the man's hair was completely pale, his audible voice was clearly that of a middle-aged man.Murong Yunyao was slightly taken aback when she heard his voice.She took the gap between the water bag with her hand, but looked curiously at the face under the bamboo hat.

Murong Yunyao was fine if she didn't look at it, but she was shocked by this face when she saw it.I saw that although this person is no longer young and his face is full of vicissitudes, it is not difficult to think about it no matter if it is those lacquered eyes, the chiseled face, or the thick but delicate lips. How handsome and radiant a person should be when he is young.

The man saw the girl in front of him looking at him in a daze, smiled a little awkwardly, and looked at the girl.But he only glanced at it, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He pointed at the girl, and then stopped talking.

At this moment, Murong Yunyao wished she could drink up the whole well, she didn't care about the man's demeanor.She opened a full bag of water, and drank most of it with a straight neck.She wiped her mouth with her hands after drinking, handed the water bag back to the man, and said with a smile, "Thank you, old man, the water in your water bag is really delicious!"

The man smiled and said, "Little girl, where are you from and where are you going?"

Murong Yunyao said without hesitation: "I'm coming from Bianliang, and I'm going to Tongling Gorge. A group of heretics gathered there. I want to exterminate them and rescue those bewitched believers..." She was talking happily when she suddenly remembered the It is still difficult to tell whether the man is an enemy or a friend, and how can he easily explain his whereabouts clearly, so he quickly shut his mouth.

The man looked at Murong Yunyao with a very complicated expression on his face. He had just endured and endured a sentence before finally asking, "Girl, is your father Murong Yanzhao, the founding father of the Song Dynasty?"

"Eh? How do you know!" Murong Yunyao was completely startled by this sentence, and was about to continue asking, but the man continued to move forward.His footsteps did not seem to be fast, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Murong Yunyao was even more shocked.

It took a long time before she came back to her senses, but her eyes were still staring blankly at the direction the man was going away, and she muttered to herself, "Who is this man? Not only is he born with extraordinary looks, but his martial arts are also so amazing, the most important thing is that he can Seeing through my identity at a glance, are there really gods in the world?"

After Murong Yunyao drank enough water, she suddenly felt that she had strength all over her body.Suddenly thinking that I have to go to fight for justice, how can I rest anymore, I quickly stood up from the boulder, and walked quickly towards the southwest.

A few days later, Yongfu County.

The name of Yongfu County is Yongfu, which is worthy of the name. Every family lives and works in peace and contentment. The streets and alleys are lively and peaceful. If the houses are not dilapidated, it can be called a paradise.

Murong Yunyao was in a hurry and wanted to cross the county, but she suddenly felt hungry, and she remembered that she hadn't had a full meal all day and night.It just so happened that at this moment, various mouth-watering aromas came from the stalls on both sides of the street, and Murong Yunyao was so greedy that she almost drooled, and could no longer move her legs.

She picked a stall at random and walked over quickly.Seeing someone coming, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted: "My little lady, the five-color glutinous rice in this shop is the best in the local area, would you like to have a taste?"

Murong Yunyao nodded, "Okay, give me one." As she spoke, she took out the money bag from her sleeve, opened it but frowned.At this time, the store owner brought a steaming bowl of colorful glutinous rice from the store, and handed it to Murong Yunyao with both hands, "Little lady, please take your rice, just give me five copper coins."

"Five copper coins..." Murong Yunyao was a little embarrassed, took out the only four copper coins from the purse, handed them to the shopkeeper and said, "This girl is from Bianliang, and I have used up all the money on my body. There are only four copper plates left."

The shopkeeper's face changed instantly when he saw this, and he said displeasedly: "This is a small shop, and I am also doing a small business. I only earn this copper plate after I have lost my capital. Seeing that the young lady is also a decent person, she will not be bad." A copper plate. If the young lady refuses to give it, then I will not do this business." He shook the rag in his hand, turned around and took the rice back, as if he was afraid that Murong Yunyao would take it by force.

Murong Yunyao snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "Isn't it just a bowl of broken rice? If you don't give it to me, I will eat it too much!" She got up and rushed to the opposite shop, shouting to the shopkeeper : "What food do you have in the store? Quickly get some for this girl, this girl is in a hurry!"

The store owner was a little embarrassed, pointed inward, and asked, "Little lady, this is the longevity shop, are you sure you want to eat?"

Murong Yunyao let out a "bah" when she heard the words, and said angrily: "What are you doing wrong, but you want to make a coffin? That kind of thing is hard, sticky and unlucky, you'd better keep it for yourself and chew it slowly!"
