Chapter 94 Up and Down the Mountain

Yuan Gang understood and understood what he meant. After encountering troubles along the way, it went smoothly. It was somewhat strange that he never saw that ghost again.

Judging from the destruction of the torch storage point, it stopped halfway. At that time, there was an estimate here. Either the other party saw that the method was cracked here, and it would be meaningless to destroy it, or they were not familiar with the road behind. Destroy the torch until you reach the torch storage point, or both.

Now if you ask about the situation in the village, if the ghost even dares to attack the monks, but there are no monks in this village but it has not been harassed, it means that the ghost has not touched this place yet.

No matter what the situation is, one thing is certain. The ghost destroyed so many torch storage points along the way, and escaped more than a little way. One can imagine its eagerness to murder. The other party has put in so much effort, and the two sides have never fought each other before, so they don't know the depth of each other's strength, so why let it go so easily?

The only explanation is that it wasn't that he let go easily, but that the ghost was very careful and didn't dare to act rashly when he was not sure, which also proved Niu Youdao's statement from the other side that the ghost's strength was limited.

Soon two women came down the mountain, together with a very simple sedan chair with two poles and a chair.

As soon as Shang Shuqing was helped into the sedan chair, Niu Youdao suddenly said: "Monkey, you go down the mountain first with the princess." He gave him another wink.

Yuan Gang knew that he was asking himself to find out the situation in the village first.

Shang Shuqing and the others looked back when they heard the sound, and Luo An asked, "Will the mage not go down the mountain?"

Niu Youdao: "There is something wrong. General Luo, can the guards here borrow it?" He raised his chin towards Maoting.

Luo An asked strangely: "I don't know what's the matter with the mage?"

Knowing Niu Youdao's habit, Shang Shuqing likes to leave room, and it's useless to ask about things he doesn't want to say, so he said: "Uncle Luo, listen to the Master's arrangement."

She had already opened her mouth, so Luo An had no choice but to say hello to one person: "Shanhu, did you hear that?"

The young man who rang the bell before nodded and said, "I heard it."

A group of people surrounded and carried Shang Shuqing down the mountain. Yuan Gang packed up a few packages and carried them on their backs, and followed them down the mountain.

Niu Youdao smiled and watched him off, and found out that different backgrounds are different, and he still received unusual treatment when he came to this remote mountain, and even if his family was poor, he was a hundred times better than ordinary people. There is no suffering at all, this is the bottom line!

"Master Dao, do you want to deal with that sneaky guy?" Yuan Fang came over and asked in a low voice, obviously he also saw the clue.

Niu Youdao said in a low voice: "I'm going to retreat here, so I can't be disturbed. If this ghost doesn't get rid of, I won't be at ease!"

"Oh!" Yuan Fang understood and nodded.

Niu Youdao said again in a low voice: "I reckon that ghost didn't give up easily, maybe it was following all the way and wanted to catch the opportunity. Now that the sun is shining brightly and the yin and yang are separated, they should not dare to show their faces. When the sky gets dark, it is very likely He will come out to search, now you go back inside, find a place to hide, once he shows up, cut off his back immediately, I will guard outside, and will meet you."

Yuan Fang hummed, "Understood." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go in, but after a pause, he turned around and said, "Master Dao, he might be hiding at the entrance, and I might be caught by him once I go in." I found out that I have a plan to avoid this worry.”

Niu Youdao said, "Let's hear it."

Yuan Fang murmured in his ear for a while, Niu Youdao nodded, and immediately turned back to the entrance of the cave with him.

The torches unloaded before the entrance of the cave were carried by Yuan Fang alone, and Niu Youdao lit a light to lead the way. The two deliberately talked and made noises, and then drilled back into the cave one after another, and returned to the underground river in a generous manner. Returned the torch to that spot, and back together. Halfway up, Yuanfang's figure flickered and hid in a corner on one side, while Niu Youdao walked out of the cave all the way, extinguished the torch and threw the torch aside, and walked towards the thatched pavilion.

"Mage!" The young man named Shan Hu saluted and asked, "What are your orders?" He glanced at the entrance of the cave, as if wondering why Yuan Fang didn't come out.

Niu Youdao: "Are you the only one guarding? Someone will deliver the meals?"

Shanhu: "There's nothing wrong here. During the day, one person guards, and someone comes to change at mealtime. At night, there are two companions, and they change every two hours."

Niu Youdao smiled and said: "I see, how about this, I will guard for you during the day, you can go back."

"Ah! How can this work?" Shanhu waved his hands again and again.

Niu Youdao put the sword in front of him, put his hands on the hilt of the sword, and said seriously: "Then I will go to General Luo to discuss it again?"

"Uh...Okay!" Shan Hu scratched his head, as if he was a little afraid of Luo An, he turned around when he got out of the pavilion and said, "I'll bring you food when it's time for dinner."

Niu Youdao felt the simplicity of the people here, and said with a smile: "No, anyone who has an opinion can ask the princess!" In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat for two or three days, as long as he is physically weak.

After watching the perplexed Shanhu go down the mountain, Niu Youdao took a good look at the surrounding mountain scenery, observed the terrain, and finally sat down cross-legged in the pavilion, closing his eyes and adjusting his breath. After walking in the secret path for a whole day, I am indeed a little tired...

"Uncle Mom!"

At the foot of the mountain, a group of people greeted him. The leader was a gray-haired man sitting on a wooden wheelchair. people.

Shang Shuqing, who got off the sedan chair, ran forward regardless of the pain in her feet, and squatted beside her, her eyes were red, and she could see that she had a different relationship with this person.

This man's name is Meng Shanming, who was originally the number one general under Ning Wang Shang Jianbo's command. One leg was badly damaged, it was basically useless, and he could no longer stand up, which is why he was in a wheelchair. King Ning originally intended to let him enjoy the rest of his life in peace, but he was worried about the relationship between King Ning and the court, so he voluntarily gave up his glory and wealth, and brought his family here to live in seclusion. Living in seclusion here escaped the purge of the imperial court.

Today, this secret place is in his charge.

"The princess has grown up, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine!" Meng Shanming stroked her head and sighed, her eyes were a little moist, "I received a message from the little prince before, and I know that the princess is coming, so I guess the time is at least It will take two or three days to arrive, I don't want to arrive so soon, I can't meet you in time!"

"Uncle Meng is gone." Shang Shuqing shook her head. She never expected to arrive so soon, thanks to Niu Youdao who carried her on her back and accelerated the journey. The rugged journey of several days took about two days The time has come.

It's just that she couldn't tell about being carried behind Niu Youdao's back.

"It's been a hard journey, you're tired, don't squat here, go home and talk slowly when you have something to say." Seeing that she was squatting uncomfortably, knowing that her feet were uncomfortable, Meng Shanming waved his hand.

The party turned around and came to a temple-like courtyard, which can also be said to be the best building in the village.

The main hall is spacious and full of incense. The stage behind the censer is filled with spiritual plaques, each with their names written on them. These are the tablets of some deceased generals. The tablets of Ning Wang Shang Jianbo and his two sons are in the middle. superior.

Shang Shuqing went up to offer incense and worship, and then sat in a chair next to Meng Shanming in the hall, telling about the experiences of the two brothers and sisters after the death of King Ning, without hiding anything from Meng Shanming. The others were dismissed by Meng Shan Mingping, some things are not good for too many people to know.

In fact, Meng Shanming is aware of the general situation. After all, he has been maintaining secret letters with Lan Ruoting. However, there are some things in the secret letters that are not easy to talk about in too much detail, and the words are relatively cryptic, fearing that Jin Chi will accidentally fall. There will be accidents in the hands of others, so it is natural to ask about it at this time.

After the two chatted for a while, Luo An walked in quickly, intending to whisper to Meng Shan.

Meng Shanming raised his hand and grabbed the beard on Luo An's cheek. Seeing that Ru Ya's hands were heavy, Luo An said "Alas".

Snapped! Meng Shanming let go of his hand, and tapped Luo An on the cheek with the back of his palm, "The princess is not an outsider, why are you sneaking around? Is there anything you can't say in front of the princess?"

Luo An rubbed his cheeks, embarrassed, "I didn't pay attention at the moment, I forgot." He looked like a rough man with a curly beard, but he was very honest in front of Meng Shanming.

Shang Shuqing pursed her lips and smiled, "It seems that Uncle Meng has not let go of his martial arts."

"It's disabled, it can't be done." Meng Shanming smiled and waved his hands, then turned to ask Luo An, "What's the matter, tell me."

Luo An: "The man who came with the princess is wandering around in the village. In some places, I don't know if we should stop him."

As soon as Shang Shuqing heard it, she knew it was Yuan Gang.

Meng Shanming said indifferently: "My lord can let the people who come here be reliable people. If there is anything to stop, please let me know and don't make any misunderstandings."

Shang Shuqing also added, "There is indeed nothing to hide from him, since he is here, there are some things that cannot be hidden."

Roan left quickly.

Meng Shanming also paid attention to this, "I was so excited to see the princess, I almost forgot, I heard that Mr. Dong Guo's closed disciple is here, why didn't he show up?"

Shang Shuqing's expression was a little solemn, "It's probably something, I encountered some trouble in the secret path..." She described the unexpected situation encountered in the secret path.

Meng Shanming's expression also became serious, "There is a ghost lodged in it, if you don't get rid of it, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome."

Shang Shuqing: "If I'm not wrong, he should have settled this matter if he didn't go down the mountain."

Meng Shanming: "I'm sure, do you want to send someone to cooperate?"

Shang Shuqing: "Since he made a move, he must be sure."

Meng Shanming doubted: "I have never fought against each other in the secret way, I don't know the depth of the opponent, why is the princess so sure?"

Shang Shuqing: "Uncle Meng, you don't know that this closed disciple of Mr. Dong Guo may not have the highest cultivation level among Mr. Dong Guo's disciples, but his ability is definitely the strongest. Calculated, he should actually be a supernatant. The current head of the sect..." He told about Niu Youdao's house arrest in Taohuayuan, how he invited Niu Youdao down the mountain, what happened at Nanshan Temple, and how Niu Youdao helped the Shang Dynasty Zong get married. How to take advantage of Feng Lingbo's momentum to gain a foothold in Canglu County, and the process of coming here later, are exactly the same.
