Archive of Fate’s End Chapter 24: Tong Xuan Mountain
After noon, Shi Xuan and Ding Mingde were ready to leave because they had to rush to Yuhua Pavilion. The two stood up to say goodbye to Yan Jujian. At the same time, Ding Mingde politely invited Yan Jujian to go with him, After all, the two destinations are the same, and they meet each other again. If you don’t invite them, it seems rude. But after all, the identity of Yan Jujian is unclear. If you really walk together, you will waste a lot of effort to be alert, so I just invited it politely, and if the other party is interested, it will naturally quit.
Who knows that Yan Jujian doesn’t mean to say anything at all, he just agreed. Shi Xuan and the two ride a tiger, so they had to ask him to get on the carriage. As far as Shi Xuan is concerned, perhaps this is better. The danger in the light is better than the shadow in the dark.
Zheng Daniu looked at Yan Jujian’s burly figure, and his face turned green, but Shi Xuan’s five-two silver promise to reward money prevented him from speaking out. He only watched Yan Jujian stepping onto the carriage, pressing The carriage creaked, and even the two horses in front could not help but take a small step back.
Two horse-drawn horses slowly walked on the official road in a heavy carriage, and Yan Jujian had only sat cross-legged in the back since he got on the carriage, basically not talking much, except occasionally asking Ding Mingde for a few words. Xuan is completely ignoring, and even Shi Xuan can feel a little alert.
Shi Xuan felt more and more strange about this trip to Xuanshan Mountain, but since he had to go to seek immortals and seek a way, and he had the means to suppress the bottom of the box, it was impossible for him to retreat.
The wacky atmosphere in the carriage has been maintained at the foot of Tongxuan Mountain. Just over a half and a half after Shen Shi, Shi Xuan can already see the words "Tongxuan Mountain" written on the boundary monument at the foot of the mountain.
After sending Yinzi away Zheng Daniu, Shi Xuan made an excuse to go behind a mountain wall and planned to take this opportunity to hear if Yan Jujian, who was wary of himself, would say something to Ding Mingde after he left. .
After coming to the mountain wall, Shi Xuan leaned on the mountain rock, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, entered an ethereal state, and exerted his keen senses, because the distance here is far away, and he can’t hear it as casually as before.
As expected, I heard Yan Jujian lower his voice and said, "I don't know what Brother Ding knows is the reason why a certain family goes to Shuanghu Village in Tongxuan Mountain?"
"No, aren't you looking for an old man?" Ding Mingde's voice was puzzled.
"Yeah, that friend of a certain family came to Tongxuan Mountain two years ago, and no more messages were sent back. Someone was very worried about his safety, so he found it."
"Have you been in distress in the mountain? It is said that there are many ferocious beasts on this mountain."
"Ha ha ha ha, he will die at the mouth of the beast?" Yan Jujian laughed at the sound, and some could not control the volume.
"Then... what is that?" Ding Mingde said hesitantly.
"After a certain family came to Chuzhou City, they secretly searched for a long time, and found that many people are missing in Tongxuan Mountain every year, and they all have one thing in common. Hey, do you know what?" Yan Ju Sword didn't answer directly, and turned to another topic.
"Being eaten by a beast?" Ding Mingde replied dumbly.
"Hey, they are either people like you or their parents who have died, or people who have been away all the year round and haven't been home for several years. In short, they are missing and they won't cause too much Wave people."
"Ah? What, how, how!" Ding Mingde was a little scared.
"So, a certain family originally wanted to go up the mountain to investigate by themselves, but when I heard that you were heading to Shuanghu Village in Tongxuan Mountain, I remembered the name of the place mentioned in the letter from that friend to me. Just come and ask. After that, you are asked to be the person whose parents died, and then combined with the news that a certain family has inquired before, a certain family decided to go with you."
"I, I, I'm not going anymore." Teeth began to tremble, ready to beat the drums.
"Brother Ding, don't you think you are all at the foot of Tongxuan Mountain, and want to go back, is it a little late?" Yan Jujian's playful voice.
"You... what are you doing? Brother Zi Ang, by the way, I will find Brother Zi Ang to go back together!"
"Hey, your brother Ang doesn't need to take you back!"
"What do you mean?"
"He is a hidden master and wants to kill you, it is easier than killing a chicken!"
"No, no, no! No! Brother Zi Ang is generous and generous, with the legacy of the ancients, at first glance is a gentleman!" Ding Mingde retorted in excitement, more and more smooth, the next half sentence was done in one go.
"There is not a lot of study in a certain family, but I have heard a sentence called, It is not necessary to hurt people's hearts, and it is necessary to put people's hearts at heart. You two may not have known each other for a long time." Yan Jujian said leisurely .
"This, this..." Ding Mingde gaped.
"Brother Ding, since you are here, it is better to take a family to explore a drowning stone and completely solve the problem. Otherwise, you just go back to your home, it is not stable, and even harms your loved ones."
"Cousin, yes! Cousin, he will come too!"
"That's right, let's take a certain family to go. A certain family does not boast to say that there is a certain family, and it will surely protect your little brother's safety. Although your brother Ang, the martial arts are strong, but It may not be able to beat a certain hand." Yan Jujian's bland voice is full of confidence.
"This..." Ding Mingde's hesitant voice.
"This world, plus the old monsters that can't be hidden, can beat a certain family, and can be counted with ten fingers." Yan Jujian's calm voice gave people great confidence.
"Okay! I promise you!" Ding Mingde gritted his teeth and agreed.
Shi Xuan saw that the two of them had finished their discussions and stayed behind the mountain for a while before slowly coming out. They smiled and apologized to the two, saying that they had eaten their stomachs.
Yan Jujian faced Shi Xuan in the same way, and Ding Mingde did not act, responding to Shi Xuan with a slightly evasive attitude. Shi Xuan pretended not to see it, and urged the two to go up the mountain together. This Xuan Mountain looks weird and big.
The three of them walked silently on the mountain road, especially Ding Mingde. His face was full of heavy fear and his waist was almost bent. If Yan Jujian stood behind him, Shi Xuan wondered if he would " "Ah" shouted and turned and ran.
Tongxuan Mountain is deep and quiet, the bird song is crisp, even in the hot summer days, you can feel a cool breath. In this environment, the three quickly arrived at a luxuriously decorated pavilion with the three seal characters "Yuhua Pavilion" written on the plaque hanging above it. There is a stone monument on the left of the pavilion, which records the history of the pavilion. It was built by the donation of Shangshu in the previous dynasty. Twenty years ago and three years ago, the rich people of Chuzhou City donated money to repair.
After seeing this pavilion, Ding Mingde told Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian: "My cousin said that the big housekeeper of Shuanghu Village will wait for me from the beginning of unitary time, and now there are more than two quarters before unitary time, We might as well enter the pavilion to rest for a while."
Shixuan nodded and said, Yan Jujian was undecided, and the three entered the pavilion and sat on each side. Shi Xuan intends to take advantage of this gap to recover his spirit and prepare for the next trip, so after sitting down, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and Qi began to run slowly. Yan Jujian didn't know if he paid the same attention as Shi Xuan. Anyway, Shi Xuan noticed that he was sitting with his eyes closed, and didn't say a word. Ding Mingde was restless, standing up several times and trying to walk towards Yan Jujian, then wandering back and back to sit down again.
At the time of the qi, the time was fast, and the sun began to go westward. Ding Mingde judged from the shadow that it was almost unitary, and stood up to wake up the other two. But before he opened his mouth, he saw Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian open their eyes respectively.
Shixuan stood up and smiled and said, "It seems that You are about to arrive." At this time, Shixuan saw a figure coming out of the corner of the mountain road in the distance, "Uh, that big housekeeper?" side.
Ding Mingde turned around quickly, but unfortunately he had poor eyesight and could only see a dark shadow.
The figure walked staggeringly, and the time of the incense stick came to the neighborhood. It was an old-looking man, wearing a black cloth with a pattern, and an outer cap. The hair showing the hat was already All white, deep wrinkles, like orange peel, the whole person is dry and thin, holding a big red lantern in his hand, with the word "king" written on it
Shi Xuan looked at this old man~IndoMTL.com~ There was a strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that something was installed in this body, but it is unfortunately not convenient to open eyes with the technique now.
Yan Jujian gently pushed Ding Mingde stiff in place, and Ding Mingde seemed to suddenly come forward to salute: "Is the old man the big steward of the Shuanghu Village royal family?"
The old man raised his head, looked at Ding Mingde with his turbid eyes, and returned a salute. The voice was hoarse: "It is old, but Mr. Ding Mingde Ding?"
"Is it right, the big housekeeper with a high surname?"
"The old and surnamed natural surnamed Wang, did not dare to stain Mr. Ding's ears, just call the old deceased butler, these two?" The big housekeeper saw Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian behind Ding Mingde.
"These two are the next best friends, Shixuan Shizi Ang and Yan Jujian. They are sent to the next place. By the way, they will pass through Xuanshan. I wonder if they can take them to Shuanghu Village for a night tonight?" Ding Mingde watched I have long thought about how to say it.
The big housekeeper's turbid eyes looked back and forth at Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan felt a chill, as if being stared at by a cold-blooded animal.
remained silent for a while before the big housekeeper spoke lightly: "Since Mr. Ding is a friend and a guest of Shuanghu Village, he is naturally welcome and he is afraid to say hello."
"I'm so disturbed, I thanked the big butler first." Ding Mingde was secretly pushed by Yan Jujian again, expressing his gratitude busy, it was finally settled.
The big housekeeper glanced at the three again, then turned halfway: "Three distinguished guests, follow the old age, the mountain road is foggy and easy to get lost." Then he lifted the lantern and staggered back and forth.
Shi Xuan glanced at each other, Ding Mingde closed his eyes, followed closely behind the big housekeeper, and Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian walked side by side at the end.
