Chapter 134 Crisis

The night is endless, with a half-moon hanging in the sky, but the vast white snow reflects a faint white light. In the silent wilderness, black dots like projectiles suddenly appear from the distance and shoot rapidly towards the snow-covered mountains.

From time to time, the black spots passed over the branches of the trees reaching into the night sky, stepping through the thick snow as if their feet did not touch the ground. The branches swayed slightly, but no snow fell, and the snow they stepped on left only slight traces. , obviously, this is an extremely brilliant Qinggong.

It turned out that this was a night traveler dressed in black.

The speed of the man in black was extremely fast. In a short time, he had reached the bottom of the mountain range. The man in black stopped at the bottom of the mountain range for a while, then caught and ejected towards the mountain. The speed was actually not much slower than on the plain.

Not long after, they came to a gentle place. After looking around for a while, they ran towards a dark place in the shade. When they got closer, the outline of the dark thing appeared. It was not where Zhang Xiaohua stayed at night. Mountain temple? !

At this time, the man in black suddenly stopped, said "Hey", took out something from his arms, then walked slowly to the door, stuck his head out, and stared at Zhang Xiaohua, who was sleeping next to a bonfire that was about to go out. After listening for a while, he walked in with steady steps. After entering the temple door, under the weak firelight, the dark dagger in the hand of the man in black gave out a cold breath.

The man in black relaxed a little when he saw the half-grown boy lying beside the bonfire, but still clutched the dagger tightly in his hand. He walked a few steps into the temple, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it at Zhang Xiaohua. A "thump" hit Zhang Xiaohua's hand gently. Zhang Xiaohua was sleeping vigorously at this time. How could he feel it?

However, it was his lack of feeling and reaction that surprised the man in black. He stepped forward carefully and gave Zhang Xiaohua a tentative kick. Still, there was no movement like a dead pig. The man in black let out a sigh of relief. It turns out that this person is already dead. The man in black put his finger to Zhang Xiaohua's nose tentatively, "Hey", why are you still breathing? The man in black was a little confused, and then he pushed Zhang Xiaohua vigorously, but Zhang Xiaohua seemed to be unconscious at all, turned over, and went to sleep.

Seeing this, the man stopped talking to Zhang Xiaohua, picked up a few dry branches from the side, and added them to the bonfire that was about to go out. The flames immediately circled the branches and burned rapidly, and the entire temple immediately became bright and warm. .

Not long after, the man in black looked at the flames and suddenly glanced upward, as if he noticed something, and then stared outside the temple door.

Sure enough, a dark shadow swept in from outside, bringing in a gust of cold wind that caused the bonfire to sway from side to side. When the man stood still, he turned out to be a short, lean night traveler with the same black cloth bun. People couldn't see their faces clearly. The people who came after looked around the temple and saw Zhang Xiaohua beside the bonfire. They frowned and said, "Mei Lao, who is this young man?"

The man in black, known as Mei Lao, smiled and said, "I don't know. When I got here, this boy was already sleeping here."

The man in black later said, "Then why don't you change places?"

Mei Lao said angrily: "You think it's easy to find a hidden place. I tried it just now. This kid fell asleep and couldn't do it no matter what. He has no internal strength. He is probably a country boy who got lost. Liu Shopkeeper, you must be too careful."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu stepped forward and said, "Be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years. If I hadn't been careful, would I have survived to this day?"

Shopkeeper Liu walked up to Zhang Xiaohua, looked at it, and kicked it twice. As expected, as the youngest Mei said, there was no response. However, he was still worried, so he used his luck to point out a certain acupuncture point on Zhang Xiaohua's body. After clicking a few times, he said: "Let him sleep well. If I don't click on his sleeping point, I will always feel uneasy."

The youngest Mei was still warming herself by the fire and said, "Okay, I feel relieved this time. Come over and warm yourself up."

Shopkeeper Liu followed the instructions and sat next to the bonfire, warming himself up and asked: "Mei Lao, what are you doing?"

How did you find this place? I've been in Yanyu Town for so long, but I've never heard of a mountain temple here? "

Mei Lao said angrily: "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you haven't. I came to Yanyu Town on a mission the year before last and was discovered by my enemies. I found it from the mountain when I chased them all the way. I'm looking for you this time. Suddenly it occurred to me that it would be perfect to meet you in such a secluded place."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "That's a place I don't even know about, so it's naturally very appropriate. However, on such a snowy night, only good Qinggong like you can avoid leaving too many traces on the snow. I can't Yes, there is no guarantee that no one will see it.”

The youngest Mei Mei sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if someone sees it tomorrow? Can he know what you and I said tonight? Can he find your shop?"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "Brother is right, I was overly cautious."

Mei Lao said: "There is nothing right or wrong. Once you enter the world, you can't help it. There will be bloody disasters at any time. It's normal to be careful. Oh, okay, let's stop gossiping. What's wrong with the Tan family?"

Shopkeeper Liu immediately stopped smiling and said: "This Tan family is a family-style management. I sent people undercover several times, but they all failed. In order not to alert the snake, I did not dare to try again. Now I am the Jade Shopkeeper , but he has some contacts with their third young master."

The youngest Mei Mei remained calm. Seeing this, shopkeeper Liu didn't know the other party's emotions, so he laughed and said, "I know this is far from the organization's requirements, but I do have some difficulties. You see, Make some low-level disciples, they can't get close to the core of the Tan family, and they can't learn anything useful. However, the core disciples, not to mention their eldest and second young masters, are all momentary heroes, extremely shrewd, even if they are Disciples like Tan Wen and Tan Wu who are slightly outside the discipline have also received strict training since childhood and are strict with themselves in all aspects. It is really difficult to follow their favorites."

Mei Lao frowned and said: "These are facts, and the organization is not unaware of it. Isn't the reason why I asked you to come here because of your specialties? That's why I gave you this hard skill? You have to give full play to the fact that you are not afraid of hardship and are not afraid of hardship." With a tired spirit and the energy that was good at fighting tough battles in the past, we strive to put a 'Kongming Lantern' in this difficult place!"

Shopkeeper Liu said in shock: "Well, Brother Mei, what is the 'Kongming Lantern'?"

Mei Lao said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you are so old-fashioned. The 'Kongming Lantern' is a lantern that can be placed in the sky. It is like you have made achievements that people look up to."

Shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands and said, "I admire you, I admire you, brother Mei. 'I will treat you with admiration after three days of separation.' Your level has greatly improved since you went to the headquarters for training."

The youngest Mei was also happy, and she cupped her hands in a certain direction and said: "This is a gift from the Lord, and you and I both have to be grateful. If you do well this time, you may also be appreciated by the Lord. "

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he quickly stepped forward, shook his hands and took out something from his arms, carefully brought it to Young Master Mei, and said with a smile: "Brother Mei, this is something I received last time in the countryside. This ancient jade is very unique, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Please accept it and appreciate it in your free time."

The youngest Mei looked at the things shopkeeper Liu handed over, and continued nonchalantly, smiling: "Brother Liu is really kind. I only have such a little hobby, and I am impressed by it. Just for your sake, I want to It’s impossible without progress.”

Shopkeeper Liu said humbly: "My meager skills are nothing. Compared with Brother Mei, I am like a fluorescent light to a bright moon. I hope I can say more kind words in the future."

Mei Lao Yao rubbed the things in his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a master who can't rub his eyes. Naturally, merit must be rewarded, and delinquency must be punished. If Brother Liu can achieve certain results, I can too." Take advantage of it."

Shopkeeper Liu said: "Don't we have to rely on the guidance of the Lord and the support of my brother?"

The youngest Mei smiled and stopped talking, just admiring the ancient jade in her hand.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, shopkeeper Liu added, "However, in recent days, I heard some things from Young Master Tan San, and there are some clues."

The youngest Mei said "Hey" and said, "Let's talk about it, maybe there is something new to discover."

Shopkeeper Liu said: "According to Young Master Tan San, the Tan family sent many disciples out before and after this year. They seemed to have many tasks. Young Master Tan San was a little strange. Although the family usually had some affairs outside, there were still many things going on outside. They all go out at different times. He has never seen any disciples going out during the New Year period, so he is very puzzled."

Mei Lao said: "Then you didn't ask him what the tasks were?"

Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "How dare I ask such a sensitive question? However, from what he vaguely meant, he didn't know. Moreover, when he asked the head of the family, he was scolded. Hehe, if it hadn't been for this scolding , he is not convinced, and he may not tell me."

Mei Lao asked again: "Young Master Tan doesn't know, but what about Young Master Tan and Second Young Master Tan? What's going on with them? Are they on a mission too?"

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and said, "That's not true. They are all staying at the Tan family's old house."

Mei Lao frowned and said: "This is a bit strange. If something really happened, the eldest and second eldest children in the family would have to go out and take charge of the overall situation. They all stayed at home. It must be that the Tan family suddenly encountered some trivial things. Well, you might as well inquire carefully and see what you can find."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Brother Mei is wise."

Mei Laoyao smiled and said: "Brother Liu, it doesn't have to be like this. Back then we were all brothers sleeping on the kang. Although we have different positions and division of labor now, this is the need of the work after all. You and I are both members of the organization." The rocks need to be moved wherever they need to be moved, so there is no need to be so polite in private."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I can't run as fast as your brother. I'd better listen to you honestly."

The youngest Mei smiled and didn't force it.

After a while, shopkeeper Liu seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, brother Mei, there seems to be one more thing I can do. I don't know if it will be useful."

Mei Lao said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, I will give you a reference."

Shopkeeper Liu said: "Some time ago, Young Master Tan San vaguely said that his two brothers used to practice martial arts with him. In the past year, they have not practiced martial arts with Lao San, and they have never been together. He had a fight with the third brother, and sometimes he asked his two brothers to compete with each other because of itching hands, but they used various excuses to shirk them. He was very puzzled. Later, he overheard a disciple from the side sect talking about how his two brothers had made great progress in martial arts. He is already one of the top figures among the younger generation of the Tan family."

Having said this, Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the youngest Mei and said, "However, Mr. Tan San sneered at this statement. The three of them are the direct descendants of the Tan family, and martial arts has been passed down from their childhood. It is normal for them to be the best. Brother Mei, do you think this news is useful?"

Mei Lao said: "Brother Liu, this news is very important. I will definitely tell the Lord this news personally. I should give you a good credit."

Shopkeeper Liu said happily: "Thank you very much, Brother Mei."

However, he was a little puzzled immediately and asked: "Brother Mei, please know the secret. I don't feel anything unusual about this news?"

Mei Laoyao smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Liu, this is the difference between the central and local governments. The asymmetry of information must have different estimates of the news. To tell you the truth, do you know why I specially removed you from other places last year? The place will be transferred to this Tanjia Village?"

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head blankly.

Mei Lao said in a low voice: "My lord, I have an old friend who is not very close to me, and I had a lot of issues with Tan Yefeng in the past. However, Tan Yefeng's martial arts is quite different from his. Therefore, Tan Yefeng Ye Feng has always been reluctant to speak out. Who knows, at the beginning of last year, the Lord got the news that Tan Ye Feng, his old friend, was killed by Tan Ye Feng at Wuying's feet during the Yue War. The Lord was very surprised. How come Tan Ye Feng's skills have improved so much? This is why my brother found an opportunity to transfer Brother Liu here."

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned.

Mei Lao said in a low voice: "This matter is classified as confidential. I am afraid that I will not understand and lose useful information, so I tell the truth. I hope that I will keep it a secret and will tell you more about it in the future." Pay attention, if you get merit, can't I also recommend merit?"

Shopkeeper Liu quickly bowed and said: "I understand, brother Mei. Now that we have a general direction, I will not fish in troubled waters. I believe that with Master Tan San as a breakthrough, I will definitely live up to the Lord's expectations and brother Mei's." recommended."

The youngest Mei also nodded.

The two of them talked for a while, and then they went down the mountain separately after the sky turned a little white.

The two people exchanged such confidential matters in a deserted mountain temple, but they just clicked on Zhang Xiaohua's sleeping hole and treated him as a dead object without any taboo. Moreover, when they left, they did not do anything to eradicate the weeds and pat him. Just walk away, very cool.

In fact, that was not the case. The young man in black, Mei Lao, who came earlier, had no intention of letting Zhang Xiaohua live until morning. Therefore, he did not look at Zhang Xiaohua’s face at all. He was just a lost child. When he left, If a fatal point is hit, where is the chance of survival?

However, the man in black later, Shopkeeper Liu, was cautious and tapped Zhang Xiaohua’s sleeping point first. He knew the strength of Shopkeeper Liu. Without twelve hours, he would not be able to relieve himself. Yemiao The bonfire in the middle of the bed had already been extinguished while the two were talking. They did not add any dead branches. It was so hot every day. In this winter where dripping water turns to ice, who can survive?

In the minds of Mei Laoyao and Shopkeeper Liu, this child, no matter why he came to this mountain temple, is unlucky. If he doesn't hit his weak point, it means he has the virtue of a good life, and he definitely doesn't. The reason for getting out alive must be that he would freeze to death.

The youngest Mei wanted to make up for it before leaving, but unfortunately, Shopkeeper Liu let him go first. How could he have the nerve not to believe Shopkeeper Liu's handling of the matter in front of Shopkeeper Liu? The only way is to go out first and act like a leader who is trustworthy when you do things.

To them, killing someone and silencing them is like clapping your hands to kill a fly. They don't take it to heart, but they don't think about it. A young man lost in a barren mountain can hardly find a place to sleep. , I'm sleeping soundly, what's bothering you? Just click into a sleeping hole and freeze to death here? If this was the case, it would be better to die right then and there, without having to endure such torture before dying.

It's a pity that Ji people have their own destiny. After the two people left for a long time, the sky gradually became brighter. A ray of sunlight passed over the mountain temple on the other side. Zhang Xiaohua, who had been tapped in his sleeping hole, suddenly opened his eyes, as usual. , a ball of twinkling disappeared in his eyes, he stretched out flatly, sat up, looked around, and saw the ash traces of the bonfire that had lost the heat. Then he remembered what happened last night, stretched out, and secretly felt happy in his heart. , without this wild temple, I still don’t know how to spend the long night.

After wiping his face with the snow outside, Zhang Xiaohua gathered his energy and started practicing boxing and sword moves. Only when his body felt completely comfortable did he stop, eat some dry food, and prepare to go down the mountain to find the market town.

But after leaving the mountain temple and looking at the snow-capped mountains, Zhang Xiaohua frowned fiercely. Master Jingxuan is really harmful. She found some hidden ghost place. She walked for a whole day before arriving. This mountain range, how to go next?

While hesitating, annoyed and cursing, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes suddenly lit up. In front of the steps of the mountain temple, he could actually see a few lines of footprints!

The footprints of the small feet are naturally Zhang Xiaohua's own, and there are a few lines of big feet next to them. Needless to say, they must have been left by others when they came to the mountain temple. Zhang Xiaohua was excited for a while. When she came yesterday, it was already dark, so naturally she didn't see it. Now at dawn, she pointed out the direction for herself. This mountain temple is really very spiritual. No wonder there are still people in such a remote place. Come.

However, it seems that there are no statues of gods in the mountain temple?

But why does Zhang Xiaohua care if there is a god statue or not? After thanking this inexplicable god in her heart, Zhang Xiaohua packed up and prepared to follow this trail to find the market town.

At least, I can find a place where there are people.
