Chapter 40: The Shadow Under the Darkness
If the direction the wizard guided after his death was Skeleton Cliff, then Mei'er had already told me to go to Skeleton Cliff. In this way, this Skeleton Cliff will have to go,
But I still have one thing to worry about now, that is, one of the eight treasures in the mountains will really appear in the Skull Cliff area?
If all this is true, why did the Maoshan School’s mountain-keeping treasure appear in the skeleton cliff far away in northern Sichuan? What is hidden here? Who brought it here? Since it was brought, why was it left on the skeleton cliff where corpse monsters appeared?
I don't know, and I don't even have any clues. It seems simple, but it is complicated. But one thing I can be sure of is that once I confirm the location of the next treasure, I will take it out even if I try my best to return it to Maoshan Sect.
Besides, once the next treasure is found, the contract between Meier and I will be completed, so her words will not be fake at this moment, unless she does not want to escape the restrictions placed by her master.
Mr. Feng looked up at the northwest and said, "Snow Baoding, a sacred mountain forgotten in the corner. Its mystery is just like its name, making people yearn forever. Alas, if I was a teenager, I might be infected by you. Maybe I will follow you to explore the legendary skull cliff. By the way, I will appreciate the sacred mountain scenery that the Benbo Cult is pilgrimage to. It's a pity that I can't walk. On the seventh day of the lunar month, since you insist on going, I have nothing to say. You have your own responsibility to complete it. I can only say a blessing. I hope you can get what you want and have a safe journey."
I nodded silently: "Old Feng, I don't know when I will meet again after leaving. You must take care of yourself in the future."
Mr. Feng smiled kindly, stepped forward and stroked my forehead, and said, "You are so kind. Maybe this is your greatest advantage, or maybe it will become your greatest disadvantage. No matter how high the magic is, you will not see through people's hearts for a while. Think twice about everything and don't show it all. Often, the person you most would not expect is your biggest enemy. Go, ,."
I don't understand why Mr. Feng said these sad and puzzling words before leaving. Thinking about it, Mr. Feng's life is full of storms, and his experience is naturally not comparable to that of a half-bucket of water. I silently remembered his words, and solemnly clasped his fists to Mr. Feng, then turned his head and left without looking back,
After climbing a mountain, I slowly looked back, but the mountains were covered with peaks, and Mr. Feng's figure was blocked. I turned my head and looked at the setting sun in the sky, and continued to rush forward. The road to Xuebaoding had to go on a long way. Since I had determined the goal, I could not delay it anymore. In a trance, I actually had an ominous premonition in my heart. It was so strong that it rarely appeared before. I had once in Fulong Cave in Tongyao Town, and I had encountered Shangguan Jin frequently,
I looked around for no reason and took a deep breath. Why did I suddenly remember that guy? By the way, I don’t know what Shangguan Jin was doing during this period. Could it be that he also came to northern Sichuan?
My heart suddenly tightened. If this is true, then my trip will be a little troublesome. I know Shangguan Jin's practice very well. Last time I was much higher than me. Since I have made some progress during this period, then he,,,
Suddenly, an old tree trunk not far ahead suddenly trembled. I was fully alert and hurriedly touched the peach wood sword in the magic bag. The night gradually came, and under the dim light, a black shadow rushed towards me like lightning,
"who,."
Just as I lifted the peach wood sword and was about to face the enemy, a rapid shout stopped me. The shouting came from the mouth of the black shadow in front. Listening to the sound, why is it a little familiar?
"Mr. Chuqi, yes, it's me, Wei Yong~~~"
"Ah." I walked up and saw that it was Wei Yong. The boy was wearing a black tights. He stopped in front of me with a quick movement and stood up straight. He looked at Wei Yong up and down, slowly put away his peach wood sword, and said, "Didn't you go back to Qingchuan County with your uncle? Why did you appear here again now?"
Wei Yong acted frankly, but his personality was a little shy. No matter who he was to, he always looked shy as a young wife. However, these could not hide the fanaticism and excitement of his face. He grinned his teeth and said, "Mr. Chuqi, I can catch ghosts with you now."
I opened my mouth: "What, catch a ghost."
Wei Yong nodded seriously and said, "This time I was ordered by my superiors to help you. Hehe, the last time the Thunder Pool was so thrilling. To be honest, if I were not a soldier, I really wanted to change my clothes and follow you to practice Taoism."
"Wait." I hurriedly stopped Wei Yong from speaking, and immediately frowned and asked, "What did you mean by the orders of your superiors?"
Listening to Wei Yong's words, I deeply felt that the actions I showed before attracted the attention of the so-called leader in Wei Yong's mouth. I was talking about my strange power and chaotic spirits and feudal superstitions. It was obvious that Wei Yong was sent to deal with me.
Thinking of this, I unconsciously kept a distance from Wei Yong. This kid has been a soldier for several years and has some skills. However, I was forced to practice for a while by my master. Although I still insist on practicing legs and feet, I think I am not a match for Wei Yong. If this guy really comes, I will be careful.
Wei Yong hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chuqi, don't misunderstand it. Actually, I'll tell you the truth. It's indeed my superiors who sent me to assist you. The leader said that you have come from thousands of miles and must have your own things to do. This time you help us solve the case. Although our leaders still do not admit that there are ghosts and monsters doing evil, they privately sent me to follow Mr. Chuqi, which can be regarded as a reward for your selfless contribution to our Qingchuan County."
Now I understood it. It turned out that I was repaying me in this way. I sighed and put away the peach wood sword and waved my hand immediately, "Go back, I don't need your reward. It is my voluntary to help the people here, and it is also the responsibility of every practitioner of Taoism. So, go back quickly,."
After saying that, I moved away from Wei Yong and continued to move forward. Unexpectedly, Wei Yong turned around and chased after him, saying anxiously: "Mr. Chuqi, this, this is not possible. I came to escort you with the order of my superiors. Of course, if you have any inconveniences to let me know, I can avoid it at any time, but please let me follow you,."
I smiled bitterly: "What's the inconvenience of two big men? Alas, Wei Yong, I'll tell you that the place I want to go is not suitable for ordinary people. What I'm not worried about is my safety. I'm afraid that I will be distracted to protect you at that time, so I'll do nothing."
Wei Yong was stunned and sneered: "If Mr. Chuqi thinks that Wei Yong is not worthy of walking with you, you can make it clear. If you say that I still need you to protect me, Humph, it's a joke."
"Uh,,." I was speechless. After thinking about it, I tried to ask: "How much do you know about Xue Baoding."
Wei Yong was stunned again, but soon reacted and quickly replied: "I have heard of the legend of the Xuebaoding sacred mountain since I was a child. Also, when I was a few years old, I went to Aba Prefecture with my mother. During this period, my mother was taken to the foot of the Xuebaoding sacred mountain to worship. When I was about ten years old, my mother met my current father, so I followed my mother to Qingchuan County. Mr. Chuqi, what do you want to ask about this?"
My eyes lit up. It turned out that Wei Yong lived in Aba Prefecture since he was a child. According to Mr. Feng, the so-called Aba Prefecture, which is mainly Tibetan and Qiang people, should enter Aba Prefecture first, from Songpan County to enter the Minshan Mountains, and then climb to the top of Xuebao. It was a bit twists and turns, but if someone was a guide, it would be great. But I also lamented that Wei Yong was wandering in a wandering life as a child. It turned out that his life experience was so bumpy. Alas,
"You really want to help me." This is my first sentence after thinking for a long time.
Wei Yong nodded excitedly: "Well, not only for the orders of the leader, but I personally admire your Maoshan's magical Taoist skills more and more. If possible, can Mr. Chuqi accept me as his disciple?"
I laughed: "Come on, I just became a disciple for a while, so I don't have that qualification. Besides, if you have the fate of Taoism, you don't have to hurry for a moment. Everything goes with the flow. Since you are not afraid of suffering, let's go together."
"Oh." Wei Yong nodded excitedly,
The night was completely falling, and the sky was a little dark, especially in the mountains, but with Wei Yong as his companion along the way, he felt a little lonely,
