Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

After all, Huang Jue and his party returned empty-handed. It can be said that they stepped into the Yunhan Hotel under the glow of the sunset. They have been busy all afternoon but have not received any news. It is enough to imagine their bad mood.

Looking at the exhausted appearance of the other party and his group, and looking back at the appearance of himself drinking tea leisurely with the grand master, Le Wuyi deeply felt that this was spreading hatred.

However, Le Wuyi obviously underestimated Huang Jue's self-control. After he rested enough on the sofa in the lobby, he resumed his previous politeness: "As expected of Mr. Shen, I never do useless work. It’s too big.” There was no sarcasm in the words, it seemed that he was really just lamenting his own indecision.

Shen Ye said lightly: "We don't have enough information, and people from Shiqiao Town have been coming and going for so many years without any trace, so it shouldn't be so easy to find the entrance."

Huang Jue smiled to accept the comfort, then turned to look at Xiao Meng who was wearing a suit and was sitting and drinking tea because he was invited by Le Wuyi.

Xiao Meng was the second batch of people who came back. Seeing Huang Jue's eyes on him, he knew that the other party might be dissatisfied, but he said leisurely: "I went to see the Dragon King Temple, but I didn't find anything."

Huang Jue didn't answer, but Le Wuyi's face was full of interest: "Mr. Xiao, did you pray for rain? How did it work?" The man didn't speak just now, and he was too embarrassed to ask.

Xiao Meng was taken aback when he heard the words, he never thought that anyone would really take the old man's words to heart, it was obviously a country talk, so he couldn't take it seriously.However, looking at Huang Jue's inscrutable eyes, and Shen Ye's silent appearance after closing the curtain, he still had a good temper and said, "I haven't tried it, let's talk about it when I have a chance."

Le Wuyi smiled and nodded, wondering if he really didn't know how to judge the timing and interrupted.

Xiao Meng thought that he was invited by Huang Jue after all, so he couldn't forget the work he was supposed to do, so he coughed and returned to the topic: "The Dragon King Temple is located halfway up the mountain, with water in the front and mountains in the back. Fengshui is good, but there is nothing wrong with it. There are special traces, and judging from the building materials," he stroked his chin and roughly estimated, "the construction time may not exceed 100 years from now."

That is, there is no value in further investigation.

Huang Jue accepted the answer, and said, "Leave Nine Dragons Pool and Dragon King Temple aside for now, let's go to Wolong Temple and Wulonggang tomorrow."

The people present naturally had no objection, even Le Wuyi, after seeing Shen Ye's meaningful glance, chose to remain silent.Grand master has his plan, and he can't drag the other party back.

After everyone dispersed, dinner was settled in their respective rooms, and Le Wuyi huddled on his own bed, feeling hairy at the thought of being in the same room with his grand master tonight. No, only a proper distance can make the disciples feel at ease.

When did the master take a bath?have no idea.

When will the master turn off the lights?have no idea.

Master Tai, are you going to sleep tonight?have no idea.

A whole bunch of strange and active forms kept running in Le Wuyi's mind, but for some reason, he thought he would not be able to sleep all night, but at first he didn't even dare to turn around carelessly. As time went by, I felt that my eyelids were getting heavy.The tension is still there, but the sleepiness seems to have swept through Le Wuyi's brain in an instant. At the moment when the strange tension and sleepiness coexist, a sweet dream comes unconsciously.

What Le Wuyi didn't know was that the moment he closed his eyes, he fell into a state of unconsciousness and deep sleep, and he didn't know that Shen Ye opened his eyes the moment he closed his eyes, his eyes were like torches, and there was no trace of sleepiness. signs.

It was almost late at night, everything was silent, and in the silence where everything was supposed to be sleeping, an abrupt sound sounded from outside the window.

"East... Thousands of riders..." The long singing voice came from nowhere, it was mixed with the wind and could not be heard clearly, it was a woman's voice, but it was gentle and shrill, it seemed to be the mournful cry from the valley , The lingering hatred is hard to get rid of, "White horse...green silk...is..."

Shen Ye stood up, leaned close to the window and listened attentively. There was indeed someone singing, but the tone and the way of singing definitely shouldn't be what people today would be able to sing.

The moonlight was very good tonight, and the bright white moonlight swayed on the treetops, flowing like a tulle, which made the already mournful singing even more ghostly.It seemed to be mourning and crying, but in the end, it was more like the cry of a lonely soul and wild ghost, and every sound could hardly conceal the hatred that wanted to put people to death: "What fool! What fool!"

After a burst of hateful "He Yu", the singing voice suddenly became melodious and melodious again, even a little sweet, with a touch of weird feeling, the sweet singing voice seemed to be tempting the lost people in the mountains, to go Had a good night with that unknown ghost girl.

Shen Ye frowned, glanced at his apprentice who was so asleep that he didn't know what year Jinxi was, and finally chose to open the door and go out to find out.Not wanting to go all the way downstairs, what he saw and heard made him understand while frowning.

Some of the passing rooms still had their lights on, but they couldn’t hear the movement inside. They saw a wide open door, and the two people inside the door threw themselves on the table and fell to the ground, screaming loudly. After falling asleep, Shen Ye understood that this Shiqiao Town should have the news he wanted.

Shen Ye was indeed invited by Huang Jue, but if it wasn't for special circumstances, he would never have come out of the mountain in person.Shiqiao Town is located in Yunnan, and there have been too many mysterious and unpredictable countries in the long history of Yunnan, and the ancient Dian Kingdom that Shen Ye wants to explore this time is one of them.

"Historical Records" has a cloud: "Yelang is the largest in terms of the length of the Yi monarch in the Southwest; the largest in Yunnan is based on the number of the genus of Ximimo." Ushered in the country where thousands of soldiers and horses of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put down the rebellion, the resting place where the priests of Liuyue City once passed by was also very likely to be the country where one of the six keys was left behind.

After seeing the map sent by Huang Jue and the barely visible green branch ring pattern in the corner, Shen Ye agreed to the other party's request to fight together without hesitation.

The Lieshan tribe and the ancient Dian kingdom have nothing in common. The only thing they have in common is the ending of not succumbing to fate but being played by fate.It's just that the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared without leaving any trace of history, while the Lieshan tribe still remained, but life was better than death.

Lie Shanbu couldn't wait any longer, died in his prime, and didn't live to be 40 years old. Who can bear such a life?So I had to go back to the former Liuyue City, and I had to find an antidote.For the responsibilities he should fulfill, he even made the clansman who was struggling in pain.Now that he has such a clue as the ancient Dian Kingdom, he will never let it go easily.

Shen Ye's eyes were deep, and light footsteps kept coming. When passing by the lobby of the hotel, Cai Xiaoyu was lying on the sofa, seeing her holding a rag in her hand, she must have fallen asleep suddenly.

Shen Ye didn't stop, and walked out of the door directly. The moment the cold wind hit him, the long singing voice became clear. Listening carefully, it seemed that he could still hear a little piano sound, lingering and looping, which also matched the singing voice. It's a pity that the piano and singing are not elegant in the darkness, only ghosts.

At this moment, the dark tree shadows overlapped and swayed with the wind, more and more like pairs of ghost hands struggling endlessly in the abyss, leaving only the ghosts and monsters hidden in the dark bushes, as if waiting for the moment of ambush.

Shen Ye just glanced at it casually, and then heard the rustling sound from the bushes, coupled with the resentful cry of "What fool! What fool!" If you are timid, you might be scared off on the spot.

However, Shen Ye appreciated the roar full of resentment, because only at that moment would the singing be slightly different.Originally the hazy singing voices coming from all directions, at that moment the voices from the north will be louder.

what's up northNaturally, it is the Nine Dragon Pool that the people of Shiqiao Town keep secret.

Is it really the problem of Nine Dragon Pool?When the singing sounded in the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep. Presumably no one was spared to stay awake, so it was rare to be able to spread that Jiulongchi was an unclean place.

As for the news that the Nine Dragons Pond was not clean, was it intentionally spread by the survivors to keep people away, or was it just a coincidence, Shen Ye didn't care about it, he just wanted to know if the Ancient Dian Kingdom was in Shiqiao Town, And if so, where would the entrance be.

Passing through the empty alley with no sound, the occasional sparks do not mean that someone is awake like Shen Ye. Shen Ye doesn't care whether it is quiet or not, and goes straight to the Jiulong Pool in the north.

The road I walked during the day is very familiar, but the closer I get to Jiulongchi, the singing is still illusory, not clear, as if I am still thousands of miles away, without the slightest approach.If it weren't for some changes when singing "He Yu", those who are not strong-minded might have given up long ago.

Shen Ye's footsteps remained the same, and there was no rush when walking. When the shadow of the row of oak trees reappeared in front of his eyes, it was like a signal. It was as if the stop button was suddenly pressed, but it was as silent as if no one had ever sung.

Shen Ye just hooked the corners of his mouth at this, and walked towards the Nine Dragon Pool that was shining with silver light under the moonlight.At this moment, there are slight ripples on the surface of the pool. After approaching, the clear water in the pool becomes dark due to the lack of sunlight. It became more and more dead silent.

"Hmph." Shen Ye let out a sneer, as if not worried about the unknown danger, he knelt down and stretched his hand into the pool. Into the cold water, it is better to say that Shen Ye is reaching into the thousand-year-old ice at this moment, and the palm of his hand seems to be frozen in the next instant.

The coldness is only one of them. The most weird thing is that the pitch-black pool water seems to be able to engulf the limbs. You can clearly feel the hands swinging in the water, but you can only see the wrists above the water surface, and the entire palm seems to be cut off. , leaving only a smooth broken limb on the water.

If the water in the pool is clean and clear during the day, then at night it is dark and muddy, so muddy that it can swallow up the light.Shen Ye finally withdrew his hand, and the moment he left the water, there seemed to be the sound of ice crystals peeling off, but what he saw before him was only black water droplets dripping down, leaving a few halos on the surface of the pool.

Shen Ye looked at his palm quietly, a black hole seemed to be carved in the wide palm, slightly tilted, the circle thicker than ink was deformed, countless drops of water rolled down, breaking the calm of the water.

"Hmph, it's really interesting."
