Su Liangjing asked: "White Horse Temple? That place has been deserted for I don't know how many years. What are you looking for there?"
Ji Chadao: "You don't care what we are looking for? I just ask you if you know the way."
Su Liangjing said: "Huiyan Mountain is still a few dozen miles away from here, and it would take an average person at least two days to walk. But I do know a shortcut. If you walk from there, you can get there before sunset."
"It seems that saving you is not a mistake. Even if your skills in forging weapons are not that good, it would be great to have a shortcut."
Ji Cha smiled with satisfaction, and then followed Su Liangjing around the cliff with Hong Chen, then passed through a pine forest and arrived at another cliff.
Su Liangjing pointed to the cliff and said: "Actually, if you climb over here, you can go directly to Huiyan Mountain. If you take a detour, you will have to climb over more mountains. There is no plank road on this cliff, and even the mountain herb collectors are afraid.
Ordinary travelers can't walk on it at all, but I think you two have great skills, so there's no problem in climbing on it."
Ji Cha and Hongchen looked over together and saw that this cliff was also bare, only slightly shorter than the cliff Su Liangjing jumped off. The rocks were jagged and there were no vegetation growing on them. It was indeed very difficult to climb. If you fell down accidentally, you would fall.
Shattered to pieces.
Su Liangjing added: "But we'd better not wear boots when climbing. Thick soles are used to protect our feet when walking. But when climbing this cliff, it's easy to slip on your feet."
Hong Chen then went to gather a lot of dry long grass, quickly twisted it into straw ropes, and skillfully and neatly knitted three pairs of straw sandals. The three of them each took off their boots, tied them with straw ropes and hung them around their necks, and then put on their straw sandals.
, walked to the bottom of the cliff.
Ji Cha was the first to climb up, followed by Hong Chen, and Su Liangjing was last. Ji Cha's hands and feet were nimble and he used all four limbs together. Each jump was ten feet high, just like an ape climbing on a cliff; Hong Chen always had to wait until his feet were firmly planted.
, he found a rock gap and stretched out his hand. His body was very stable and his movements were much slower. Su Liangjing had long arms and big hands, extraordinary physical strength, and was good at climbing mountains. Although his speed was not as fast as Ji Cha's, he soon surpassed Hong Chen.
.
Before Hong Chen climbed out ten feet, Ji Cha had already reached the top of the cliff; when he was less than twenty feet away, Su Liangjing also arrived first; not long after, a long tree vine hung down from the top of the cliff, and Ji Cha's shout rang out
: "Grab the vine and we'll pull you up!" Hong Chen moved to the side of the vine and stretched out his hands to hold on tightly.
Ji Cha and Su Liangjing pulled the vines together and pulled Hong Chen up the cliff. Su Liangjing pointed to the north: "That mountain is Huiyan Mountain. The White Horse Temple is at the bottom of Huiyan Mountain. You can walk there for a while and you'll be there."
The three of them sat on the top of the cliff and rested for a while. They shared some dried meat and drank a few sips of water. Then they took off their straw sandals and replaced them with boots, and started walking again. The sun gradually turned red, and a wall fell down and was littered with grass.
The ancient temple finally appeared in sight. Su Liangjing said: "That is the White Horse Temple." Ji Cha muttered to Hong Chen: "Don't you dare to lie to us, Mrs. Da, how could the sword be in a place like this?" Hong Chen said
: "Let's look for it when we get there."
To the surprise of the three of them, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the White Horse Temple and before they entered, they heard voices coming from inside. It was very small and thin and could not be heard clearly, but it was obviously not the roar of the wind or the roar of a fox. Ji Cha became anxious:
"His grandma, I'm afraid that damn old lady told others about this place!" He strode into the temple and shouted, "Who is it?"
Hong Chen followed Ji Cha and walked in, only to find that Ji Cha's expression changed. When he looked into the temple again, he saw a young woman with unkempt hair and ragged clothes looking at the two of them with frightened eyes, holding her arms in her arms.
Holding a young child of two or three years old, next to him was a fire that had long since burned out.
The child seemed to be awakened by Ji Cha's roar. He didn't even open his eyes and started crying: "Wow - wow!"
The woman didn't care about coaxing the child, and knelt on the ground, saying in fear: "Two heroes, spare your life, spare your life! I took this baby from the northeast to Tianjing to find his father, but I was robbed on the way... No
, they were borrowed by several other heroes, and everything was borrowed.
.I didn’t know the road, so I walked all the way into the mountains. After a long time, I didn’t meet anyone. I finally found a decent shelter from the wind and rain, so I stopped to light a fire to keep warm and take a nap. I didn’t go there on purpose.
I'm on the territory of these two heroes, please spare me, heroes!"
At this time, Su Liangjing also walked in. When the woman saw Su Liangjing, she immediately said: "Ah? There is another hero? Hero, have mercy! Hero, have mercy! I was sitting low just now and didn't see you. I was blind. Please forgive me."
Just spare me, spare me."
Su Liangjing hurriedly helped the young woman up: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up! I'm not a hero, these two are."
Ji Cha scolded: "Who are you, grandma, scolding? Didn't you hear what she just said about the money-borrowing hero being a robber? When you call me a hero, don't you mean I'm a robber? She scolded me, and you scolded me too.
?" Hong Chen thought to himself: What you did was not a robber? What's more, you roared so loud just now, it's strange that people don't think you are a robber!
"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong!" The woman was helped up by Su Liangjing and said to Ji Cha and Hong Chen, "I thought you were heroes, but I didn't expect you were real heroes... You heroes don't care about small things.
I'm sorry, please spare me!"
Hong Chen said: "Sister-in-law, just calm down the child and don't worry about us." He took out the water bag and took two pieces of dried meat from the bag: "You are thirsty and hungry. Let's eat and drink first."
The woman was surprised and happy, but felt cold after taking it.
She took a big bite of the hard dried meat and said while chewing: "Thank you, hero, thank you, hero!" But she didn't swallow the dried meat. She lowered her head and fed the meat paste in her mouth.
Mouth of a crying child.
Hong Chen felt a little sad when he saw it, and some blurry images appeared in his mind. It seemed that he had experienced the same days, but it was too long ago and had already been submerged in the later years. Ji Cha took out two gold leaves and dropped them.
The woman's hand said: "Sister-in-law, it was my fault just now. I scared you and your baby. When you get out of the mountain, use this money to buy some new clothes to wear." The woman knelt on the ground again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
Xia!"
"Get up!"
Ji Cha sighed and helped the woman up. Then he turned to Hong Chen and said: "North of Tianjing City, at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, in the White Horse Temple, next to the General Statue. Xiaochou should be near the General Statue, look for it quickly."
There is a tall statue in the temple, which is covered with dust and cannot be seen clearly. The body is extremely tall and tall, but there are many holes in the armor. The fine iron spear in his hand has been eroded by time and covered with a thick layer of armor.
Layers of red rust, only the war horse statue next to it is still extraordinary.
Before night fell, Hong Chen and Ji Cha quickly searched everywhere around the general's statue, even prying open the stone slabs underneath to take a look. However, until night fell, they couldn't find the shadow of the knife. Ji was so angry that they couldn't find the shadow of the knife.
Cha stamped her feet and scolded: "That damn old bitch really lied to us! His grandmother's daughter, I will steal her daughter and give it to Zhongtuozi later!"
"Don't worry, let's look for it again."
It was dark in the temple, so Hong Chen pulled out Broken Breeze, injected his inner energy, and the light lit up. Although it could not illuminate the entire temple, it was better than ordinary candlelight. Su Liangjing next to him was immediately surprised and asked: "What kind of knife is this?"
?" Then his body trembled: "This is the moon knife in Sun and Moon Wushuang - you two are bamboo cutters and tea pickers!"
Ji Cha smiled: "Even the blacksmiths in Tianjing have heard of my name as a tea picker. It seems that I am not far away from being famous in all of Jiuzhou and my name will be passed down for thousands of years."
Su Liangjing never expected that he would meet the leader and protector of the Demon Cult who were in great power in the world. At the same time, he was frightened and couldn't help but be curious: "I heard that you were robbing and plundering everywhere and got many magical weapons. Among them,
Many of them are written by famous masters. May I ask where those magic weapons are at this moment?"
Ji Chadao: "Of course it's all on me." Su Liangjing didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to continue asking. The young woman couldn't understand what the three of them were talking about, so she just moved away from the child who had fallen asleep again.
Hong Chen and Ji Cha used the light of the broken breeze to continue their search. They lifted up every stone slab in the temple and even dug underground where the earth was. They still couldn't find any trace of Xiaochou here.
There were signs. Ji Cha completely thought that Mrs. Dai had tricked him, so he went out of the temple and cursed to the south: "I curse you to have wrinkles at the corners of your eyes today, scars on your back tomorrow, all your hair falling out the day after tomorrow, and your husband will go there next month."
Marry a little wife and drive you out of the house!”
Hong Chen said: "Since the Xiaochou knife is not in the White Horse Temple, let's go to bed early. When we get up tomorrow, we will send my sister-in-law and her baby to Tianjing." Ji Cha nodded in agreement: "That's fine, let's let Blacksmith Su help.
