Chapter 184 Going down the mountain by the moon

After Zhao Xiaolin paid her respects to her master, she sat cross-legged in front of the grave, closed her eyes and practiced Qigong.

The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain attacked the Saintess Cult with great urgency and were about to break through. Yang Shucheng saw Zhao Xiaolin sitting upright and motionless. He wondered what her intention was. He didn't dare to come forward and disturb her.

Seeing that she was sitting with her eyes closed for more than half an hour, with no intention of standing up, Yang Shucheng raised his eyes and looked down the mountain, shouting for death.

Yang Shucheng was very anxious. After a long time, he couldn't help but walk back and forth in front of the grave. If the Saintess Cult was breached, what would happen to Zhang Shuanying and Ma Yue inside?

Yang Shucheng was so anxious that waiting for a long time was not an option.

As the sky gradually darkened, the officers and soldiers withdrew from their formations, lit bonfires, and prepared to cook. Soon the aroma of the food drifted to the mountains with the night wind.

Zhao Xiaolin had no intention of getting up, and Yang Shucheng had no choice but to pick up dead branches and yellow leaves from the hillside, pack them into the cave, light a fire, and plan to sleep in the cave.

Zhao Xiaolin also stood up at this time, walked into the cave, and the two sat facing the fire.

Yang Shucheng opened the package and took out the dry food, which the two of them ate.

After eating, Yang Shucheng went down the mountain and collected some spring water in front of a small waterfall. He brought it back and gave Zhao Xiaolin a few sips.

Yang Shucheng originally thought that Chief Zhao would not save the Saintess Cult during the day and would save the night for a sneak attack, but Zhao Xiaolin said:

"Young Master Yang, I know you have doubts in your heart. Why don't you save the Saintess Cult? I think the Saintess Cult and the White Lotus Cult have been at odds for a long time. It cannot be solved in a short time. You must take advantage of their crisis. , go and save them, there is no other way."

"Oh!" Yang Shucheng finally understood Zhao Xiaolin's intention.

Now that Yang Shucheng understands, he no longer worries about this matter.

At this time, the moonlight was bright in the sky and shone into the cave.

Zhao Xiaolin said: "Go to sleep, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow."

When Yang Shucheng heard this, he stoked the fire a little more. By now the cold air had dropped, and the fire warmed the small cave. The two of them could sleep peacefully facing the fire.

Although Yang Shucheng closed his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep. Although there was a beautiful woman like a flower and jade sitting in front of him, it was not the first time that he sat with a beautiful woman in a cave.

Yang Shucheng, Fang Xiaoli, He Jinhua, Zhang Shuanying, Yue Juan, and Zhang Xunmei had all been in a narrow cave in the wild mountains, but none of them had been so sleepless at night.

After sitting for more than an hour, Yang Shucheng still felt sleepy. He opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Xiaolin. The moonlight reflected on his beautiful face, as clean as jade and as white as snow, and the beating firelight reflected on his face. Above, as bright as peach blossoms, as bright as morning glow.

Yang Shucheng looked at this stunningly beautiful face, but it always made people feel uneasy and inaccessible, and he couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.

Yang Shucheng glanced at Zhao Xiaolin and immediately closed his eyes, thinking that if he couldn't sleep like this, he might as well take advantage of the moonlight and take a walk on the mountain road.

Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng stood up and walked out of the cave gently. Although the moonlight was bright, the mountain wind blowing on him also made his whole body cool.

Yang Shucheng walked out of the warm cave and was suddenly blown by the mountain wind, so he sobered up.

I thought that instead of hanging around here, it would be better to sneak into the Saintess Cult first, and it would be best to meet Zhang Shuanying and Ma Yue. Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng took advantage of the bright moonlight and found a way to walk down the mountain.

After a day of fierce fighting, the officers and soldiers were all asleep. Tents were pitched one after another along the mountain road, stretching for seven or eight miles. Looking from here, one could not see the two sides approaching, and the lighted lanterns were circling like a long dragon. among the mountains.

The officers and soldiers were already asleep, and there was no sound at all. Only the soldiers on night patrol, holding torches, walked back and forth.

In addition, there are roars of wild animals in the mountains in the distance, and waves of pine waves nearby. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of waterfalls.

The mountain was so quiet, Yang Shucheng walked down the mountain step by step. After walking four or five miles, we were almost in front of the officers and soldiers' tents. Here is a large open space, surrounded by a large dark forest. It is pitch black inside and nothing can be seen, but it makes people feel infinitely terrifying.

Yang Shucheng didn't dare to look at the dark forest and was about to walk forward.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps walking in the dense forest and the sound of breaking dead branches.

There is an ambush.

Yang Shucheng was very alert, turned around and ran towards the way he came, running more than ten steps away and hiding in a dense grass.

Looking down quietly, I saw two people walking out of the dense forest.

Yang Shucheng looked at them and was shocked. He knew these two people.

They are Liu Junyi and his son.

What is the purpose of these two people coming here?

They had already defected to the Manchus outside the Pass, and when they came to this mountain, did they also want to recruit the Holy Girl to join their Golden Crown Taoist leader Cheng Tuding?

The father and son were hiding here and did not show up during the day. Do they have to follow Zhao Xiaolin's plan and rescue the Saintess Cult when it is most dangerous, so that they can join them?

Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng wanted to tell Zhao Xiaolin about this and let her take precautions in time.

Therefore, Yang Shucheng crouched in the grass and looked at Liu Junyi and his son standing in the col. What did they do?

The two people stood in the valley, looking around, and only heard them say:

"There seemed to be a figure just now."

"is it?"

"He disappeared in a flash. The figure seemed to be Yang Shucheng."

"If that's Yang Shucheng, we must not let him run away. If this kid slips from our hands, it will be difficult to catch him next time."

"Dad, let's go see if it's him or not."

Liu Zhengyu said: "No, it's still late at night. If we go up the mountain, if we scare the snake, it's not a joke. This brat is very smart."

"Yes. Especially that Zhao Xiaolin, who is young and beautiful. I didn't expect that, but her heart was so deep, she actually agreed to Cheng Tuding on the surface. Along the way, Chen Yinjian who was following her was killed by her without warning. If it hadn't been for us I followed her secretly and was really deceived by her.”

Liu Zhengyu said: "I'm just saying that this woman is not simple. It's a shame that you were so obsessed with her before. Now, you have recognized her true colors. People in the world are sinister. If you don't pay attention, you will die. have no idea."

"Dad, what should we do now?"

Liu Zhengyu said: "We still use the old method, stay here and reap the benefits."

"it is good."

The two of them were talking, their voices getting lower and lower, and finally they were mumbling and couldn't hear what they were saying.

After talking for a while and stretching a few times, the two of them got into the dense forest again.

Yang Shucheng had originally planned to sneak into the Saintess Cult, but now that the Liu family and his son were blocking the way, he had better go back and tell Zhao Xiaolin about their treacherous plan so that she could take precautions.

Yang Shucheng made up his mind, stood up again, and walked quietly towards the mountain.

Along the way, there was no one around, only the night wind blowing from the ridge. Looking back at the bottom of the mountain, the dense forest hiding the Liu family and his son was blocked by the mountain. The lights on the mountain road were dotted like a long dragon. Yang Shucheng quickened his pace and ran towards the mountain.

Before returning to the cave, Zhao Xiaolin was still sitting cross-legged as quietly as before. Her full moon-like face was so serene, dignified and calm, as if she didn't know Yang Shucheng was back. In fact, Yang Shucheng knew in his heart: She must know.

Yang Shucheng walked into the cave, and the fire became a little darker, so he stepped forward and added some dry firewood, and the flames suddenly burst into flames.

Yang Shucheng sat opposite Zhao Xiaolin. The two were very close, and her breathing was still so calm and delicate.

After all this running around, Yang Shucheng had no more distracting thoughts in his mind and soon fell asleep.

Soon it was daybreak, Yang Shucheng opened his eyes, and Zhao Xiaolin was gone. Yang Shucheng quickly got up and walked out of the cave.

Zhao Xiaolin's beautiful figure appeared in front of the cliff. She stood facing the wind, overlooking the valley. The morning breeze blew her long-sleeved clothes. She was truly a fairy from the upper world.

Zhao Xiaolin felt Yang Shucheng walk out of the cave, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, did you sleep well last night?"

Yang Shucheng said: "I couldn't sleep at night, so I went down the mountain for a walk." Then he told Zhao Xiaolin about his encounter with Liu Zhengyu and his son.

Zhao Xiaolin said: "These two people are nothing to worry about."

The two of them descended into the canyon. There was a waterfall here, flowing down from the top of the mountain, like a thread, blown away by the wind, drifting in and out.

The two of them washed their faces at the waterfall. Walk back to the cave again.

The two ate some dry food. At this time, the sun had already risen to the top of Dongshan Mountain, and the shouts of killing from the bottom of the mountain could be heard in the distance again.

Zhao Xiaolin picked up the long sword and said to Yang Shucheng: "Mr. Yang, let's go."

Yang Shucheng followed Zhao Xiaolin and walked quickly towards the place where the fierce shouts of killing were heard.
