Chapter 162: Breaking the View in the Mountain
Before leaving the seclusion, he was caught up by the Plum Blossom Guards, which made everyone feel a little shocked.
But fortunately, it was just a near miss, and Tang Feng Company's ship successfully passed the customs and continued to move along the Jiao River.
After leaving the customs, it was no longer the territory of the Yuezhou Kingdom. There was no need to worry about being caught up by the Plum Blossom Guards again, at least not in the open, which immediately made me feel relieved.
But that doesn't mean you can sit back and relax.
In addition to Zheng Yinping, Li Yingluo is also a popular person, and many people are watching her father's official residence.
What's more, both Li Yingluo and Yang Yiyi managed to escape from being almost used as a training ground for kung fu. The Liu family in Yuezhou used living people to practice kung fu. This kind of scandal must not be exposed, otherwise no matter how high their reputation in the world is, they will be punished by thousands of people. refers to.
Although the two little girls are very quiet, even if they tell others, it is unlikely that anyone will believe it, but what if?
For example, someone is jealous of the Liu family's reputation and is adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
Normal brain circuits will not let go of this risk, and it is very possible to kill people and silence them, and to die without any evidence.
Although repelling the water bandits before would be a big favor to Tang Lianyu, it would also expose the whereabouts of Yang Yiyi and Li Yingluo. Maybe the killers sent by the Liu family are already on the way.
The Tang family's ship is large, has an obvious target, and can only travel along the river, making it too easy to find.
So to be on the safe side, the three of them said goodbye just one day after the Tang family's ship left customs.
Tang Lianyu never knew the inside story, but he could see that the three of them were still burdened with things, so they didn't try hard to save them. She just reminded her before leaving that if something happens in the future, just find a Tang Feng store and report Tang Lianyu's name, and she will definitely help.
They said goodbye to the Tang family's ship and stayed one night in a small town near the disembarkation. The three of them set off again the next day, this time by land.
Zheng Yinpeng and Li Yingluo were going home, and Yang Yiyi was going back to Qingshanmen to find an explanation from the master. In fact, things were already going wrong here.
But instead of taking the crowded road, it is better to go back to Qingshanmen with Yang Yiyi, and then take the small road back to Qizhou over the mountains, so as to avoid being followed.
Since they had to walk on a mountain road, the three of them did not buy horses or carriages in the small town. All three of them had martial arts skills at their side, so they traveled faster through the mountains and forests with light skills.
At this time, the light kung fu learned from Taoyuan Valley comes in handy.
There is a horse demon in Taoyuan Valley, and I compete with it. There is a light skill called "Four Steps of Horse Feet" in the teaching box.
This light skill is not very good in terms of verticality or speed. Its greatest advantage is long-distance running.
Yang Yi relied on this technique to run for two or three hours without stopping, and could run from morning to noon until he had a meal.
However, Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo's Qinggong were not as capable of long-distance running. In the first two days, Yang Yiyi had to stop and wait. However, after Li Chengqi taught the four steps of Junzu to the two, the three of them finally had the same schedule. .
After sleeping in the open air for two days, the weather suddenly changed that afternoon and heavy rain was approaching. The three people who were still wandering in the mountains were lucky enough to find a dilapidated Taoist temple.
"Quickly, come in, come in, it's going to rain!"
Yang Yiyi pushed open the rotten wooden door and waved to Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo, who were still looking at the Taoist temple in the yard, to come in.
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and although there were no raindrops yet, the sky was almost as dark as the night.
"This tunnel looks like it's about to collapse. You'd better stay in the corner."
Li Chengqi could clearly see from the computer screen that many of the tiles on the roof had disappeared, and many places were directly in the open air.
"Why are you staying in the corner?"
"Because if the roof collapses, you won't be killed if you stay in the corner."
"Oh, I learned it. Brother Li is indeed an immortal." Zheng Yinping, who glanced around at this time, said:
"It seems that no one has lived in this temple for seventy or eighty years, but I think there are still footprints in some places. People may often stay here."
Yang Yiyi was clearing a clean area with her feet when she heard the words: "If you don't take the main road and take a shortcut to Qingyun Mountain, you will most likely pass by here. When I was a child, I stayed here with my parents when we went to the city. Pass."
The Qingyun Mountain that Yang Yiyi mentioned, there is Yangjia Village at the foot of the mountain, which is Yang Yiyi's hometown, and Qingshanmen is located on the mountain. After passing Qingyun Mountain, there is Liuzhou, the hometown of Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo.
So if you take the water route, it won't be smooth sailing, but if you take the hidden mountain road for a long detour, you can just keep going.
Li Yingluo can be regarded as half a Taoist disciple. After entering, she first bowed to the Sanqing statue enshrined in the dilapidated Taoist temple, and then turned back to clean it up with Yang Yiyi.
"Sister Yang, do you really want to go back to the master's school?"
On the way, the two of them already understood the whole story and knew that Yang Yiyi was sold to the Liu family by her master.
Zheng Yinping also came over and interjected: "I still think it's better for you not to go back. Just go home and have a look. Come with us to Liuzhou."
"There are still several junior sisters. They must know who the master is, otherwise there will be others who are as unlucky as me. When it is their turn, there may not be an immortal like Brother Li to help."
"Having said that, I'm afraid it won't be of much use if you go back."
Since Yang Yiyi's master sold her, he must have prepared some excuses to deal with Paili's questions. It would be better if he used some other excuse to explain that Yang Yiyi didn't come back with him. If he said that she betrayed the master and ran away, then Yang When Yiyi goes back, she is looking for a fight.
The two of them persuaded Yang Yiyi more than once on the road not to go, but to come back to Liuzhou with us, but Yang Yiyi refused to take any advice.
Yang Yiyi has such a stubborn character, upright and unyielding. She will never look back unless her head is broken and bleeding.
Li Chengqi also tried to persuade her several times, but Yang Yiyi always missed her junior sister, so it was all in vain. Li Chengqi didn't bother to talk anymore.
At this time, there was a loud bang outside the Taoist temple, and then dense raindrops fell. The rain was so heavy that people doubted whether this broken Taoist temple could withstand it.
The three of them lit the lighters provided by Li Chengqi and sat in a circle in the cleared space inside the Taoist temple.
"How did this Taoist temple become abandoned? I think it was quite large. There must have been a lot of people living there back then."
Li Yingluo smiled when she saw this and said: "A Ping, are you still afraid of thunder?"
"I was just chatting. I'm no longer afraid of thunder."
As the muffled thunder sounded again, Zheng Yinping shrank his head unconsciously, and his previous words were self-defeating.
I didn't expect Zheng Yinping, who has a military style, to have such a weakness. It feels a bit cute in contrast.
The three of them laughed for a while, and Yang Yiyi said: "When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village mention that there is something weird about this Taoist temple."
"Isn't it haunted?"
"I don't know, but the legend is scary."
Zheng Yinping swallowed. At this time, the three of them suddenly heard the sound of horses and footsteps approaching in the heavy rain, and they all stood up and looked at the door.
Just as a bolt of lightning flashed, the dark figure was stretched by the lightning and reflected on the floor full of weeds and dirt...
