The subordinates of fast time travel are not cheap

Huai City is located in the north, and its scenery is very different from the Yanyu City, which is like an ink painting.In the distance are continuous snow-white mountain tops, and in the vicinity are fresh green sprouts, which not only has the vast atmosphere of the north, but also has the gentleness and smallness of the south.

After half a month nestled in the carriage, Bai Yunge, who was born to be active, couldn't bear it anymore, and pulled Luo Yu out of the carriage as soon as he entered the city gate.

Even in the late spring season, the weather is still very cold. Luo Yu and Bai Yunge are martial arts practitioners after all, so they don't need to wrap themselves in thick cotton coats like ordinary people.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, Luo Yu's red clothes are particularly eye-catching, and hot eyes can be seen falling on him everywhere. The northerners are bold and straightforward when looking at people.

Luo Yu's appearance is indeed not comparable to that of Bai Yunge, but the indifference and casual temperament around him is very attractive. He is like a frozen gem, even if he is low-key and restrained, he can't hide his inner brilliance. The weak want to cling to him , the strong want to conquer him.

The weak and weak Bai Yunge stood beside him, only remaining as a vase.

Luo Yu directly ignored these gazes, but it was a pity that Bai Yunge was not immune, he hid behind Luo Yu uneasily, his face slowly turning red.

At this time, the two of them were standing in front of a small stall. On the stall were some boxes of rouge and gouache, and some sachets. Most of them were favorites of women. A ring to play with.

"Luo... Mr. Luo."

"Ok?"

"I... let's go back, there are a lot of people here."

Luo Yu didn't answer Bai Yunge's words, but instead passed the ring in his hand in front of him. The pure color and almost transparent ring was covered with a faint halo under the sun, which was extremely beautiful.

"Like it?"

"Hi... like it."

"Then I'll give it to you." Luo Yu put the ring on Singer Bai Yun's heart, threw the silver to the stall owner, and left.

After walking two steps, Luo Yu turned his head suspiciously when he realized that Bai Yunge hadn't followed.Bai Yunge was still standing there in a daze, holding the ring in his hand, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was disbelief or excitement.

"Didn't you say you want to go back? Let's go."

"Oh, okay." Bai Yunge put the ring on his finger carefully, and hurriedly caught up with Luo Yu, the smile on his face was even brighter than the morning sun on the snow-capped mountains, dazzled the eyes of passers-by.

"..."

Luo Yu glanced casually across the second floor of the restaurant, and then took Bai Yunge back to the inn silently.

After the two disappeared around the corner, a man in blue clothes appeared at the window on the second floor. He was slim and gentle. It was Xia Mingran who had received Luo Yu's message.

Xia Mingran looked at the direction where Luo Yu disappeared from afar, with a complicated expression on his face, he could see that Bai Yunge was special to Luo Yu, but he didn't know whether it was pure love or because of the forces behind Bai Yunge.

Yes, because of Luo Yu's reminder, Xia Mingran has already found out Bai Yunge's identity, and has even begun to doubt Luo Yu's loyalty. Even so, he still hopes that Luo Yu's attitude towards Bai Yunge is the latter. Did you go down?

Luo Yu stayed by Xia Mingran's side for a short time, not more than two years, but Luo Yu stayed with Yi Xiu for three years. It's ridiculous to say that he spends less time with his subordinates than his opponent.

When I saw Luo Yu for the first time, the other boy was only [-] or [-] years old, and he was seriously injured and fell on the road I passed. Seeing that he had the potential to be cultivated, I rescued him.

In the two years of training, I didn't have any affection for him, and in the three years of being a hidden stake, I didn't have any involvement, but at the last moment, I couldn't control my heart.

After knowing that Yi Xiu called Luo Yu to serve him, Xia Mingran was very angry. He should be angry, so he didn't suppress himself, but he thought that after the anger passed, he could make good use of the opportunity Yi Xiu gave him, but He didn't expect this incident to have a greater impact on him than he imagined.

During the two fixed hours, half a month of subtle influences, Xia Mingran noticed many things, knowing that Luo Yu prefers sweets, even sweet to the point of being greasy, knowing that Luo Yu is afraid of the cold because his body temperature is lower than ordinary people, knowing that Luo Yu He likes to be in a daze. When he is in a daze, his eyes are like a silent galaxy...

He's used to seeing that ray of beauty by the river at the same time, and during those few days when he suddenly couldn't see Luo Yu, Xia Mingran arranged tasks in an orderly manner, but at the same time forcibly suppressed his inner anxiety.

Several times he wanted to go directly to Feihualou, even if he wanted to know why Luo Yu didn't go to see him?Was it forced or...

But Xia Mingran is a person whose reason is better than emotion after all, there are too many things that hinder him, he must plan to deliver the strongest blow.

But before that, he received news from Luo Yu by accident. This news became the last straw that crushed his reason and disrupted his arrangements almost instantly. When I arrived in Huaicheng, I didn't expect to see such a scene.

Xia Mingran gave a wry smile, and walked downstairs.

Xia Mingran walked to the small stall, picked up the sachet on which Luo Yu's fingers paused, and then left after paying. The content in the sachet was also very simple: Zhongxue Thirteen Feet.

Zhongxue Shisanchi is also a location, in the snow-capped mountains outside Huaicheng, but everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it.Zhongxue is the name of the mountain, but Thirteen Chi is the name of a sword.According to legend, a famous swordsman died on Zhongxue Mountain. The place where he inserted his sword turned into an ice peak that would not melt for a thousand years. After that, this ice peak was called Zhongxue Thirteen Feet.

Xia Mingran waited in the inn until night, but Luo Yu did not come, which made him a little disappointed.

There are some things that Xia Mingran wants to ask clearly, but before Luo Yu admits it, he is just taking chances. No one knows the rules of Yanyu Building better than Xia Mingran: Betrayers will be killed without mercy!

Just when Xia Mingran was about to take the initiative to see Luo Yu, his subordinates reported that Luo Yu and Bai Yunge had entered Zhongxue Mountain.

Whether it's for a hard-hearted reason, or for Gouhuai Tu, no matter what idea Luo Yu has now, Xia Mingran plans to go to the place mentioned in the letter to have a look.

At this time Yi Xiu also rushed to Huai City, about half a day later than Xia Mingran.

Luo Yu really pissed off Yi Xiu this time. He almost used all his teaching abilities to find Luo Yu. No matter how Luo Yu hid, as long as he was still on the mainland, Yi Xiu would find him sooner or later. It is normal to catch up so quickly.

After Xia Mingran stepped into Zhongxue Mountain, Yi Xiu followed suit.

※※※

The climate in Zhongxue Mountain is cold, with snow falling all the year round, and the mountain road is steep. After walking a few miles, the carriage had to be abandoned. It was precisely because of the carriage parked at the foot of the mountain that Xia Mingran and Yi Xiu were able to confirm that Luo Yu had really entered. Zhong Xueshan.

Yi Xiu was obviously not surprised to see Xia Mingran who got off the car one step ahead of him habitually raised the corners of his lips.

"I didn't expect to meet Lord Xia in such a desolate place. The owner really has a leisurely mood."

Xia Mingran actually found Luo Yu earlier than himself, it must be Luo Yu who sent the message, Luo Yu, Luo Yu, who gave you the courage?

"To each other, the scenery here is very beautiful. It seems that Master Yi is also a person who knows how to enjoy."

Yi Xiu's fingers unconsciously brushed the dark lines on his sleeves, and his voice was a little careless.

"This seat is not like Xia Zhuzhu who has a literati sentiment and comes here to watch some snow scenery. This seat is here to bring back my concubine. It is rare to find such a kind and caring one. I miss him these days when he is gone. It's tight, speaking of it, Lord Xia should know him, and Luo Yu even mentioned the name of Lord Xia to me."

Hearing this, Xia Mingran felt a surge of anger in his heart, but his face was still calm.

"Mr. Luo has a very close 'personal relationship' with me, but he never mentioned to me about Master Yi."

"Luo Yu and I talk side by side during the day, and sleep together at night, so we have a lot of time to talk. On the contrary, we haven't spent long time with Lord Xia, so it's normal to forget."

Whether it's for Gouhuaitu or Luo Yu, the two will have a fight sooner or later. Now is not the time. Before seeing Luo Yu, all fights are meaningless, so the two can only fight with each other, with their own feelings of displeasure Under the circumstances, others should not think about happy thoughts, and spare no effort to block the other party.

The two of them didn't bring many people with them, but they were good at it. They were all their confidantes, and with light clothes and simple travels, they walked in the wind and snow for half an hour and arrived at Zhongxue Shisanchi.The ice peak in front of me was several feet high, and it looked like a sword blade. The tip of the sword pointed to the sky, which made people feel proud for no reason.

"Boom..."

A loud sound interrupted the two of them talking, almost at the moment when the two stepped into Zhongxue thirteen feet, the iceberg that had not melted for a thousand years suddenly broke open, starting from the top of the peak, shattered section by section, Huge chunks of ice rolled down.

As soon as the expressions of the two changed, they immediately began to retreat rapidly. Fortunately, after the ice cube rolled down, it fell into the surrounding depressions and did not cause a large-scale avalanche.Yi Xiu's face was a bit ugly, watching Zhongxue's [-]-foot collapse from a distance, he didn't expect Luo Yu to make such a big commotion, what exactly was Luo Yu going to do?

the second

A few minutes later, the place where the ice peak stood was completely flat, and a dark hole was exposed at the base of the ice peak. A bright red color spread through the hole, which looked very conspicuous.

Almost as soon as they saw this scene, Yi Xiu and Xia Mingran rushed over with light kung fu, and they landed in front of Bai Yunge at the same time.Looking closely, the expressions of the two of them changed slightly. At this moment, Bai Yunge fell to the ground, his face pale, with a lot of blood on his white clothes, but Luo Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Mingran put a little internal energy into Bai Yunge's body, and found that Bai Yunge hadn't suffered any injuries, but just lost his strength, then the blood on his body could only belong to someone else, and this other person didn't think about anything except Luo Yu.

"Where is Ayu?"

"Master Luo..." Bai Yunge was a little out of his mind now, he murmured in a low voice, and then desperately wanted to crawl towards the entrance of the cave.

Yi Xiu and Xia Mingran had already noticed the line of blood at the entrance of the cave, which spread into the depths of the dark passage along the stone stairs, and then looked at Bai Yunge's reaction, could it be...

"Go in and have a look."

Yi Xiu waved his hand and immediately two hidden guards walked into the secret passage. Yi Xiu didn't wait for the hidden guards to come out to report, but followed them in immediately.Even if there were hidden guards in the lead, the danger would undoubtedly be much higher.

Xia Mingran handed Bai Yunge to a hidden guard who came with him, and asked him to stay outside the cave entrance. If the situation was wrong, he would send a signal, and he immediately followed Yi Xiu into the cave.

After passing by, the leading hidden guard would use a torch to light the candles on the wall, which was convenient for those who came in behind.Xia Mingran and Yi Xiu walked side by side, in the middle of the team, on the one hand to contain each other, and on the other hand to deal with sudden crises.

The stairs in the secret passage are not too narrow, enough for four people to walk side by side, and the two have enough room to play.

The stairs are very long. Yi Xiu estimated that the two of them should have gone tens of meters deep into the mountainside. Now the depth is still increasing, and it is unknown who built an underground passage here.

"This is……"

Xia Mingran walked up to the stone wall, looked up at the top, and thoughtfully, there was a dark red flower-shaped imprint in the corner of the stone wall, which looked like a eucalyptus flower, but at the center of the flower there was a moon-like hook symbol.

This mark is very special, Xia Mingran has a feeling of deja vu.

Yi Xiu paid attention to Xia Mingran's pause, his eyes swept over the corner of the wall, and the moment he saw the mark, his pupils shrank sharply.

"Master Yi recognizes this mark?"

Yi Xiu didn't answer Xia Mingran's words right away, and bowed his head in thought. According to the information he got, Bai Yunge was from Furuoge, so it is very possible to get the remaining one-third of the Gouhuai map from him. She thought that Luo Yu took Bai Yunge away because of Xia Mingran, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Since when did Luo Yu become so full of mysteries?

"This is the imprint on the Gouhuai Map."

"What? Are you sure?"

Looking at Yi Xiu with an inexplicable smile on his face, Xia Mingran did not hide his doubts. According to what he knew about Yi Xiu, the other party would never reveal the information about Gouhuai Tu. His current behavior is really abnormal. Could it be that the other party discovered something? ?

"There is such a mark on the Gouhuai map I got."

Yi Xiu didn't explain much, but this sentence was enough, and he continued to walk in.

Xia Mingran knew very well that his part of the Gouhuai map did not have this mark, so could it be that there is something special about Yi Xiu's part?Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xia Mingran followed Yi Xiu silently, and the atmosphere in the secret passage began to stagnate.

As the two of them went deeper, more and more imprints appeared on the stone wall of the secret passage, almost every ten meters there was a Tumi imprint, perhaps it should be called the Gouhuai imprint.

Not only that, but there are also some patterns that appear. The characters in the picture are dressed in costumes, and they seem to be performing sacrificial activities. The characters and scenes in each picture are different, but the content is all about sacrifices.

The murals are drawn very delicately. The faces and spirits of the characters in the paintings are all extremely clear, vivid and lively. Even if Xia Mingran has never seen a member of the Guifang tribe, he still knows the legend of the Guifang tribe.

It is rumored that the people of the Guifang tribe are eternally youthful, immortal, their colors are like spring flowers, their faces are like the autumn moon, and they are gorgeous...

The two walked for a few minutes, and finally finished the secret passage. What appeared in front of them was a small stone hall. The walls of the stone hall were still covered with murals, but it was not a sacrifice, but a scene. The war tells the story of the destruction of Guifang Kingdom thousands of years ago.

The sudden rise of Guifang Kingdom is also sudden, like the sparks of historical scrolls, gorgeous and short-lived. This is a mysterious and weird country. There are many speculations about Guifang Kingdom from the outside world, but no one knows the truth. What.

Xia Mingran looked at it with great interest. The mural said that thousands of years ago, the Guifang clan was just a small clan. The people were beautiful but not good at martial arts, so they were bullied.

Later, a genius saint was born in their family. The saint borrowed divine power from heaven to improve the physique of the clan. Many people with high martial arts skills and brave and good at fighting began to appear in the clan. They repelled the enemy, expanded the territory, and established the Guifang Kingdom .

The saint girl never married in her life, she led the Guifang Kingdom to prosperity, and was loved by the people of the Guifang Kingdom. After decades, the saint disappeared suddenly one day, and the Guifang Kingdom was destroyed shortly thereafter.

It was an earth-shattering war. All the countries from the four directions invaded, and the military strength was very different. The Guifang tribe fought hard, but in the end they could not escape the fate of destroying the country.

Looking at the people on the murals, Xia Mingran always felt a little disobedient. Many of those who died in the battle were people who had appeared in the previous sacrifices. Their expressions before death were not grief or despair, but a kind of relief. Who would Relief from the death of your country?

Moreover, Gui Fangguo was exaggerated to be so powerful before, even in the face of many enemies, it shouldn't perish so quickly. How could the saint become vulnerable once she disappeared?

"How?" Seeing Xia Mingran no longer paused in front of the mural, Yi Xiu asked his own question.

Xia Mingran shook his head.

"No leads."

Although there are many doubts about the demise of Guifang Kingdom here, it has nothing to do with Gouhuai map, and this stone palace is closed, and they have not seen Luo Yu's figure. If Luo Yu really came in, this stone palace There must be somewhere in the temple that can be opened.

Looking around the stone wall, Xia Mingran's eyes fell on the copper lamp hanging on the roof of the hall. After years of erosion, the surface of the copper lamp is as smooth as a mirror, which is a bit unusual in itself.Moreover, the swords on those murals were all pointing in the direction of the copper lamp, Xia Mingran didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Xia Mingran took a step back and began to walk around the copper lamp. After half a circle, he suddenly saw a faint light flashing past. Xia Mingran took a step back, and he saw a very small sequin on the wick of the copper lamp. , causing the light on the top to be stronger than the surrounding area, following the light emitted by the sequins, Xia Mingran finally noticed a mural.

It is the side profile of a woman, that is, the extremely mysterious saint in Guifang Kingdom. It can be seen that the woman is very beautiful. This mural is engraved with the last prostration of the saint in the temple before she disappeared, which is the prologue of the war. The place is the woman's eyes.

Xia Mingran made a gesture to Yi Xiu and the dark guard, put on his gloves and walked to the mural, and touched the saint's eyes with his finger. After a slight sound, the sound of the wheel axle turning suddenly came to mind in the stone hall...

※※※

Outside the entrance of the cave, a quarter of an hour after Yi Xiu and Xia Mingran entered, Bai Yunge, who was originally weak, suddenly looked at a hidden guard beside him. The moment his eyes met the hidden guard, the dark guard's expression was very Quickly stagnate.

At the same time, on the other side, Luo Yu happened to withdraw the dagger from the neck of another hidden guard. After finishing one, Luo Yu did not let the one hypnotized by Bai Yunge go, and gave it to Hades with one knife.

Wiping off the blood on the dagger and retracting his sleeves, Luo Yu looked at Bai Yunge. This was the first time Luo Yu had killed someone in front of Bai Yunge. Bai Yunge was a little bit ruthless with his attitude of treating human life like nothing. His face was pale, but he quickly adjusted.

"Master Luo, are you okay?"

What Bai Yunge was referring to was of course the wound on Luo Yu's wrist. In order to pretend that he had entered the secret passage, Luo Yu really bled her own blood. After all, there is even hypnosis, and there is no other secret method. It would be bad for Xia Mingran and Yi Xiu to see what happened then.

"Nothing" used hemostatic powder and wrapped it with gauze, even if the opening was a little big, it wouldn't affect anything.

"Um"

After Bai Yunge responded, he fell silent, although he had a lot of questions in his mind, such as why did Luo Yu know that there was a hole here?For example, how did Luo Yu make Bingfeng collapse?For example, why did Luo Yu introduce Yi Xiu and Xia Mingran?

Bai Yunge wasn't smart but he wasn't stupid either. He knew that Luo Yu must have his own plans for doing these things, and he was even a part of Luo Yu's plan, but if Luo Yu didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask.

It's rare to see such a silent Bai Yunge, seeing Bai Yunge's abnormal white cheeks, Luo Yu frowned, took off his coat and put it on for Bai Yunge.The opponent's internal strength is inferior to his own, and it is normal to be cold after staying in the snow mountain for a long time.

Luo Yu's concern made Bai Yunge a little overwhelmed, his face that was still white and bloodless suddenly turned red, especially after feeling Luo Yu's temperature from his coat, he really wanted to explain to Luo Yu that he was not cold , but the joy in his heart dispelled his behavior.

Luo Yu didn't notice Bai Yunge's careful thinking. At this moment, he focused all his attention on the hole in front of him. Thanks to Bai Yunge's help, his plan was carried out very successfully.

"There is a carriage waiting for you at the foot of the mountain, you go back to Huai City first."

"What about Mr. Luo?"

"I'm going in."

"But..." Bai Yunge was a little bit reluctant to part with Luo Yu, but of course he was more worried, he didn't know what was going on in the cave, let alone Yi Xiu and Xia Mingran were both inside.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing Luo Yu's resolute attitude, Bai Yunge didn't say anything out of self-control to follow. Apart from hypnosis, his martial arts really didn't have much to show for it. Even the after effects of hypnosis were too great, he didn't want to be Luo Yu It's burdensome, so he bit his lip and nodded.

"I... I will wait for your return."

Startled by the way Bai Yunge was holding back tears, Luo Yu patted him on the shoulder for the first time.

"it is good"
