The carriage at the foot of the mountain was still in place, but both the people and the horses were gone. The top of the carriage was empty, and the untied ropes were scattered on the ground, looking like entangled snakes. There was a carriage door open, and as the cold
The wind swayed constantly, making a crunching sound.
The open carriage is where Mo Yunzi usually rides. It contains soft seats and many practical things. It has obviously been turned over by someone, and various items are scattered on the floor, including clothes and some books.
Next to the carriage lay Wang Sheng's corpse. The corpse was frozen, with some inconspicuous white spots appearing on the skin. The stiff hand was still holding the big golden knife, the blade was glowing with golden light, and the owner had passed away.
Although he died, this sword remained unchanged and remained as bright as ever.
Among the piles of stones leading to the south, a path was moved out. This path is very narrow and horses can come and go freely, but carriages cannot.
Zhao Zheng did not approach rashly. He stood on a branch and observed for a while, confirming that there was no ambush in or around the carriage, and then he thought about the current situation.
There are two possibilities at the moment. One is that Mo Yunzi returned here and escaped on horseback with four servants. Due to the obstruction of piles of stones, they could only abandon the carriage. However, the possibility of this speculation being true is not high.
Mo Yunzi has too much time to take care of himself now, so even if he wants to escape, he will not take his servants with him.
The second possibility is that Mo Yunzi did not come back, and the four servants escaped because they made their own decisions. One of the servants, probably motivated by wealth, had the courage to enter Mo Yunzi's carriage and took away some valuable items.
Property. There were four of them in total, and the two carriages happened to have four horses tied to them. One horse for each person, which was just enough.
The messy horse hoof prints have disappeared without a trace under the cold wind. Judging from the time, these people must have traveled a long way.
No matter which guess was correct, Zhao Zheng had to catch up with these four people. He opened another carriage, confirmed that there was no one inside, and then opened the system warehouse. He stuffed both carriages in. He then held the big
Wang Sheng of the Golden Sword has also been stored in the ice cellar warehouse. There may be other valuable things on Wang Sheng that cannot be let go, but he is pressed for time and does not have time to search carefully.
He cleaned up the mess and pulled out a strong white horse from the empty stables and warehouse. He rode and chased along the south. The white horse's coat was pure in color, with no stray hairs at all, and almost blended with the white snow under its hooves. He
After chasing for a long time, I finally found some horse hoof prints. These horse hoof prints ranged from shallow to deep and extended infinitely toward the white road. The short and messy horse hoof prints vaguely revealed the panic of the rider.
He put the white horse into the stable, switched to faster Qinggong to move forward, and finally caught up with the person in front of him.
The second guess was correct. Mo Yunzi did not take the risk to find the carriage, and only four servants escaped. After they saw Zhao Zheng, they were all frightened. The two timid female servants immediately dismounted and begged for mercy, crying.
They had seen the fight between Zhao Zheng and Mo Yunzi and thought Zhao Zheng was very dangerous.
Zhao Zheng was a little disappointed that he failed to catch Mo Yunzi. Fortunately, nothing happened to the four servants, which was somewhat of a consolation. If these four people were killed by bandits, then he would be the indirect murderer, and he didn't want to
This kind of thing happens.
"You don't need to beg for mercy. I won't hurt you. My target is only Mo Yunzi. He is not here. I have to go back and continue to hunt him now. You can choose to go back with me, or you can choose to move forward.
Run. After leaving this valley, walk a short distance further and you will reach the main road. You will be safe there." Zhao Zheng gave these servants two choices.
The servants could not understand the meaning of these words for a while. Zhao Zheng repeated it twice before they began to make a decision. Probably out of subconscious fear, they all agreed to leave early and were unwilling to turn around and return to the dangerous valley.
deep.
Zhao Zheng respected the choices of these servants, but before letting them go, he confiscated the things that the servants took away. He looked down on gold, silver and jewelry, but was afraid that the servants would take away some things that warriors needed. Such things would be harmful to ordinary people.
It is often useless, but it is of great use to warriors.
The servants did not dare to disobey and obediently handed over the things they had taken away. Among them was a martial arts secret book, and the rest were ordinary belongings.
Zhao Zheng picked up the martial arts secret book from the ground and looked at it carefully. On the cover was written "Zu Xun Sword Technique" in large characters. It seemed that these servants knew Mo Yunzi well and took away Mo Yunzi's most precious secret book.
.This swordsmanship is a middle-level martial arts. The sword moves are very exquisite. The disadvantage is that it is too profound and requires learning a lot of calculation formulas. He will not learn this swordsmanship, but it does not mean that this swordsmanship has no value.
, this sword technique will give him a lot of reference. The Maha Sword Technique is open to all rivers and can integrate the essence of all sword techniques in the world. If you pick up any sword technique at your fingertips, you can learn something.
Except for "Zu Xun Sword Technique", the rest were all property. Zhao Zheng didn't take it seriously, but he still confiscated the property, leaving only four servants with one hundred taels of silver each. He did this
I did it not because of greed for money, but for the sake of these four servants.
If these four servants take away too much money, not only will there be no benefit, but the seeds of greed will be sown. Some people may take advantage of the money and kill others in order to keep the money for themselves. Even if the four people share the money equally, it will not work.
This situation cannot be completely avoided.
Therefore, we can only reduce the money given to these servants. With less money, they will naturally not have evil thoughts. Although one hundred taels is not a small amount, it will not make people want to kill people.
Zhao Zheng's move was out of good intentions, but the four servants didn't think so. Seeing that they only had one hundred taels of money left, they all had complicated looks in their eyes, including disappointment and a little bit of hatred. Zhao Zheng
Having no time and unwilling to explain more, he let these people go, swept away the property on the ground, and rode his white horse back north.
When we returned to the location of the carriage, it was already dark. The rock walls on both sides of the valley cut the night sky into a line, and as the gaze extended, this line became thinner and thinner. The cold wind blew away the clouds, and the night sky was clear and clean.
It is dotted with twinkling stars, forming a winding galaxy.
Now the hope of finding Mo Yunzi is very slim, as small as the stars in the sky, but we can't just give up. Although Mo Yunzi was seriously injured, he was not fatally injured. Once he regained his strength,
It will become as powerful as before, so you can't let it go.
Zhao Zheng launched a search all night, focusing on the carriage, looking in all directions. He searched on the gently sloping hillside for most of the night, but found nothing except some blood stains. The night got deeper, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, so he lit one
Candles, search by light. In the middle of the night, the candlelight in his hand is extremely eye-catching. This will reveal his position, but it can also play a role in alerting the enemy.
He also found nothing in the second half of the night. When daylight came, he changed direction, carefully jumped onto the steep rock wall on the right side of the road, climbed to the top of the mountain, and searched on this mountain. He found some caves and also found bandits.
The remnants of the bandits, but could not find Mo Yunzi. He dealt with all the bandits he found and continued to search.
This search lasted for three days, but still no trace of Mo Yunzi was found.
Zhao Zheng had to give up in the end. After such a long time, Mo Yunzi must have fled far away. The possibility of catching up with Mo Yunzi was too low. Moreover, continuing to search would delay his trip. Although he was not satisfied with the result.
, and can only choose to accept it.
From now on, he has one more potential enemy. This enemy is more powerful than him. Once the two sides meet, they will form a tit-for-tat situation.
Mo Yunzi is also one of the contenders for Zichu Sword. The two will definitely meet again at that time. Fortunately, there is still plenty of time. By then, Zhao Zheng will already be a fifth-level heavenly warrior, so there is no need to
Afraid of Mo Yunzi's revenge.
Zhao Zheng relaxed and continued southbound on horseback. When he was about to leave the Soul-Destroying Road, the cold wind behind him whistled like a ghost crying, as if the Soul-Destroying Road was saying goodbye to him.
He began to take some time to count the harvest on the road. First, he checked Wang Sheng's body and got the big golden knife and some ordinary hidden weapons. The big golden knife was of good quality, but it was a pity that he didn't use it, so he didn't use it.
It was of no practical use and could only be collected or kept for later. He then began to inspect Mo Yunzi's two carriages. One of the carriages was used to accommodate two maids and store daily necessities. There was nothing good in it.
A carriage was left for Mo Yunzi to ride in. It contained a large amount of property and some books that Mo Yunzi had collected over the years. Some of the books were related to martial arts, and the rest of the books were very miscellaneous, ranging from tea ceremony to
There are many poems and songs.
After taking stock, he found that there were only two biggest gains this time, one was the big golden sword, and the other was the secret book "Zu Xun Sword Technique". As for those belongings, they didn't have much appeal to him. He kept some in his warehouse.
More than two hundred thousand taels of silver are enough for now.
Zhao Zheng rode a horse all the way south, leaving the Great Stone Pass built of huge rocks. After walking a little further, he left the boundaries of Beiju Province and arrived at Nanfang Province. The further south he went, the warmer the climate became, even in the middle of winter.
This change is also very obvious.
Zhao Zheng's road map included Qishimen, Gujing Town and many other places. The next place he arrived was Qishimen. This sect has very little influence and is not even included in the jingle of that sect. This sect was established in
Among the mountains, there are several nearby mines, which produce various valuable minerals. One of the minerals is Linglong Stone. This special stone is an essential material for refining Gengyang Golden Pill.
As long as the Gengyang Golden Pill is refined, Zhao Zheng can greatly speed up the practice of the Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing and get rid of the current almost stagnant situation.
