Cheng Xuanying returned to Heisha City and stayed in the cave to practice quietly. The weather gradually became warmer and the wind and snow gradually decreased. A few days later, Cheng Xuanying asked Jiao Huiqing and Pei Ting about the progress of their practice and gave them instructions on the key points.

.He ate very little, and most of the food sent by the man in white was eaten by Jiao Huiqing.

Jiao Huiqing was restless. If he wasn't accompanying Cheng Xuanying and thought that Pei Ting wanted to capture Qin Bashan, he stayed in the cave for nearly a month. Pei Ting also gradually lost his patience, and there was no Qin Ba on his side.

News from the mountain.

On this day, a little leader in white clothes brought food down. Jiao Huiqing said: "What scenery is there in this mountain? I will go out for a walk." Pei Ting was thinking about finding out about Qin Ba Mountain, and also said to Cheng Xuanying: "Brother,

I'll go out for a walk with Brother Jiao."

Cheng Xuanying was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, let's take a walk. There are many beautiful scenery nearby, so you can ask him." The little leader nodded respectfully and said, "I'll prepare horses for you two." Then he went up first.

Cheng Xuanying added: "Except for the nearby Black Dragon Stream, you can move around with confidence." Jiao Huiqing said: "I would like to see the secrets in the poplar forest at the foot of the mountain." They and Chen Ziang entered Heisha City for the first time.

At that time, Lao Jiao was always interested in the mysterious ambush in the poplar forest.

The two of them climbed up the stone wall, ordered two horses, and said they were going to Yang Shulin. The little leader's eyes widened and he finally said, "Old man Youcheng agrees, so I'll take you to see it."

The three of them rode all the way down the mountain. Pei Ting was still uneasy. Jiao Huiqing knew what she was thinking and asked: "Has your city lord left Shacheng alone? I haven't seen him back for two or three months." The little boss smiled and said: "

He often leaves Heisha City, and we don’t ask too many questions... Is it enough to torture the corpse of Kong Hei and let me invade Tao Cai to bring it back with Xing Xi?" The little boss said: "That's true, in the past, although the city master was outside, he often brought him messages.

Come back. There is no news after leaving this time." He thought for a while and said: "There was a shortage of food in the city some time ago. Everyone was in a hurry. The fat elder from the mountain delivered the food in time. I don't know if it was the arrangement of the city lord."

The little leader led the two of them across the small river to the west side of the poplar forest, where they found a pile of rocks. They thought they were pebbles picked up from the river, piled up like a hill. No ordinary person would pay attention to this pile of rocks.

There is a hole inside.

After entering, the little boss knocked on a stone slab on the ground with the handle of his saber. The stone slab slowly opened, and there were two men in white standing inside, rushing to bring the little boss's luggage. There was such a huge cave underneath, and the little boss gave the two men a tour.

.

This cave is a karst cave, which probably extends to the bottom of the river. At one section, you can hear the sound of running water above your head. Looking towards the direction of the poplar forest, several stone caves have been dug out, and they are excavated to form a mud tunnel under the poplar forest.

The men in white rely on these tunnels and use the woods as cover to block uninvited guests.

Jiao Huiqing was also amazed at the twists and turns of the tunnel, which could possibly accommodate a thousand people. However, Pei Ting was still lifeless and very sick. Seeing that it was almost turning, Jiao Huiqing said: "The snow is getting less and less, let's go

How about a trip to the nearby mountains and fields, Miss Pei?"

Pei Ting had no idea and said blankly: "Follow the second brother." Seeing that the woman who was a hundred times smarter was still haggard, Jiao Huiqing couldn't bear it for some reason. He forced a smile and said: "Okay, stay with me in the cave.

The old immortal has been stuffed with birds in his mouth for many days, and if he doesn't wander around, I'm sure to get sick."

The two sent the little leader back to Heisha City, and then rode horses along the mountain road toward the wilderness.

***

The southern slope of Yinshan Mountain is steep, but the northern slope is relatively gentle. The slopes are covered with birches, green poplars, elms, and willows. Although it is cold weather, animals such as pheasants, green sheep, and foxes often appear, which surprises Pei Ting.

.Jiao Huiqing was naturally overjoyed and laughed, but could not speak.

There is no snow, and the soft sunshine shines on the slowly rising slopes of Yinshan Mountain, and you can see far away. Pei Ting pointed to the ridge in the distance and said: "Brother Jiao, look at the top of the mountain." There was a faint line on the distant ridge.

City wall, he said: "Hey, who lives up there with nothing to do?"

Pei Ting chuckled and said, "That's the Great Wall, built by Qin Shihuang." Jiao Huiqing said, "What? So this is the Great Wall. I thought it was some copycat king's wall." Pei Ting then talked about Meng Jiangnu crying.

The story of the Great Wall.

She said quietly: "Look at this Meng Jiangnu, even God was moved." Jiao Huiqing was stunned, knowing that she was probably thinking of Cheng Wuting again, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Hey, this little girl destroyed the Great Wall and the court's defense facilities.

He should be taken to the Yamen and given a good education."
