step on mountains and rivers

After the two went down the mountain, they were walking back. Tang Qingfeng saw Jiang Ling and Lu Qing coming towards them, so he stood there with Li Zhenwu and waited.

After Jiang Ling woke up and heard the message from the villagers, he and Lu Qing set off to find the two of them. He saw Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu chatting and laughing from a distance, and took Lu Qing quickly towards them.

When they got close, Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng who was holding a large pile of mountain peaches, and said doubtfully:

"Old Tang, you left early in the morning just to pick mountain peaches?"

"No, I went to meet my parents." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Huh?" Jiang Ling was puzzled for a moment, then realized: "Oh, good."

Hearing what Tang Qingfeng said, Lu Qing remembered what Jiang Ling had mentioned before, so he stopped asking.

Li Zhenwu looked at the three people who were silent, took out some mountain peaches from Tang Qingfeng's arms, and handed them to Lu Qing, saying:

"Brother Lu, do you want to eat?"

"Thank you." Lu Qing took the mountain peaches and handed a few to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling took a bite of the mountain peach and felt sour and sweet, so he said with satisfaction:

"Not bad, it's delicious, Lu Qing, you should try it too."

Lu Qing nodded, took one and slowly ate it.

Seeing that they liked it, Li Zhenwu took one from Tang Qingfeng's arms, handled the fluff carefully, and handed it to Tang Qingfeng, saying:

"Brother Tang."

"Thank you." Tang Qingfeng took the mountain peach with a smile, took a bite, glanced at the mountain road in the distance, and said to the remaining three:

"Let's go, let's go to Jiulong Lake."

"Okay." After the three returned, they walked towards Jiulong Lake together.

The three of them walked for half a day, and when the mountain peaches were about to be exhausted, they arrived at Jiulong Town behind Jiulong Mountain.

The sea-like Jiulong Lake is located at the end of Kowloon Town, extending from the south of the town to the blue sky.

Jiulong Town is a slightly smaller town between Jiulong Lake and Jiulong Mountain.

There are about hundreds of wooden houses in the town. The wooden houses are arranged in a crescent shape, with half leaning on Jiulong Mountain and one side leaning on Jiulong Lake.An avenue runs through the town from east to west, stretching straight into the distance.

The four stood on the path, looking at the small town below the mountain, Tang Qingfeng handed the last mountain peach in his hand to Li Zhenwu, and then said to everyone:

"We have arrived."

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, everyone walked down the mountain.

A few moments later, Tang Qingfeng and the others walked out of the path and entered the avenue.He looked at the handwriting on the roadside stone tablet, and said softly:

"Kowloon Town."

After hearing his words, everyone also glanced at the stele.

Li Zhenwu looked at the endless blue lake in the distance, and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Brother Tang, that must be Nine Dragon Lake."

"Yeah." Tang Qingfeng replied.

Jiang Ling looked at the big lake, and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Old Tang, this lake looks quite normal."

After listening to Jiang Ling's words, Tang Qingfeng looked at Dahu, pondered for a moment and said:

"Go ahead to the town."

"Okay." After everyone finished speaking, they walked towards the town together.

When they came to the town, the four of Tang Qingfeng found an inn for dinner.While the four were waiting for the food, Tang Qingfeng said to Jiang Ling:

"Lao Jiang, let's split up and find out later."

"Okay." Jiang Ling replied.

As soon as Jiang Ling finished speaking, he saw a young man and woman arguing with the shopkeeper at the front desk.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you count your words? You promised us yesterday, but why do you go back on it today?" the woman asked.

"You two, you didn't make it clear yesterday. I thought you were just going for sightseeing, but I didn't expect you to go to Zhenlonglin." The shopkeeper said with a frightened expression on his face:

"You two, you should not go there. That place is a foggy forest, and it is very easy to get lost in it. In addition, there have been ogres there recently, and many people went there out of curiosity and lost their lives. You two are so young. , it is better not to take risks."

"What man-eaters? They're all bluffing. We've seen this kind of thing a lot. We came here to kill man-eaters," the woman said.

"......Miss, you'd better not go, it's really dangerous there. If you really want to go, I'll refund you the money and compensate you some more. You can find someone else to lead the way."

The shopkeeper said.

"You!" The woman was about to say something, but a man stopped her and said:

"Don't worry."

After the man finished speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper and said:

"Shopkeeper, we don't want you to lose money. You said just now that we should find someone else. Do you know who can take us there?"

The shopkeeper listened to the man's words, looked at the two of them, sighed slightly and said;

"Since you are determined to go, go to the south of the town and find a man named Liu Ye. In the whole town, he is the only one who has ever been to Zhenlong Forest and came back alive."

"Sixth Master? Okay, thank you." After the man finished speaking, he was about to take the woman away when he heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Lin Qun, Tang Xin, why are you here?" Tang Qingfeng looked at the two who were about to leave, stopped them with words, and asked in confusion.

Hearing Tang Qingfeng's voice, the two turned around and looked around.

Tang Xin saw that Tang Qingfeng was eating with Li Zhenwu, and beside them were two handsome young men whom he didn't know.She looked at Tang Qingfeng and asked him a question:

"Cousin Qingfeng? Why are you here?"

Seeing her questioning, Tang Qingfeng got up and walked towards the two of them.

Coming closer, Tang Qingfeng said to Lin Qun and Tang Xin:

"Let's investigate some things."

"We are also here to investigate some things." Lin Qun said.

"Well, is it a man-eating monster?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Yes." Lin Qun said.

Tang Qingfeng nodded, and continued to Lin Qun:

"Sit down and talk."

"Okay." After Lin Qun returned, he followed Tang Qingfeng back to his seat.

Seeing Lin Qun and Tang Xin approaching, Li Zhenwu voluntarily gave up his seat, walked to Tang Qingfeng and sat down beside him.

Tang Xin and Lin Qun sat at Li Zhenwu's position. She glanced at Li Zhenwu beside Tang Qingfeng, and asked him:

"Li Daochang, you are here too."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Zhenwu has always been with me." Tang Qingfeng replied to Tang Xin, and introduced to Lin Qun:

"Brother Lin, these two are Beggar Gang Jiang Ling and Doctor Immortal Valley Lu Qing."

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's introduction, Lin Qun looked at Jiang Ling and Lu Qing and said:

"Hello, both of you, I'm Nagato Lin Family Lin Qun."

"Oh, you belong to the Changmen Lin family." Jiang Ling said.

"Well, Shaoxia Jiang knows me?" Lin Qun asked.

"No, but I've seen someone named Lin Ping before." Jiang Ling said.

"Lin Ping is my own younger brother, where did the young man meet his younger brother?" Lin Qun asked.

"Wuhou Mansion." Jiang Ling said.

"Jiang Shaoxia was also arrested that day at Marquis Wu's Mansion?" Lin Qun asked.

"No, I went to save people with Old Tang," Jiang Ling said.

"Oh, so that's the case." Lin Qunwu said, and then said to Jiang Ling, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jiang Ling replied.

After the two chatted, Tang Qingfeng said to Lin Qun:

"Just now you said you were going to kill the man-eater, and then you talked to the shopkeeper about Zhenlong Forest. What's going on?"

Lin Qun listened to Tang Qingfeng's question and was about to speak when Tang Xin said:

"Brother Qingfeng, the man-eating monsters are in Zhenlong Forest, which is a primitive foggy forest, where many martial arts knights disappeared. We originally made an appointment with the shopkeeper to take us from Jiulong Lake, but unexpectedly He repented today, and we quarreled with him."

"So that's the case." Tang Qingfeng nodded, and said to Tang Xin:

"Zhenlonglin sounds very dangerous, you should leave this matter to us, you go back first."

Seeing what Tang Qingfeng said, Lin Qun was about to respond, but Tang Xin preempted him and said:

"Cousin Qingfeng, since it's dangerous, why should I entrust it to you? It's also dangerous, so why does my cousin take risks every time? Cousin, I have grown up, and I am no longer that weak Tang Xin. to go with you."

"Tang Xin." Hearing what Tang Xin said, Tang Qingfeng looked at her and said to Lin Qun:

"That's it, it's up to you."

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he said to Li Zhenwu and the three beside him:

"Let's go find Master Six."

"Okay." The three replied, got up and left the inn with Tang Qingfeng.

Seeing the four of them leaving, Tang Xin pulled Lin Qun and followed them.

On the way, Lin Qun said to Tang Xin:

"Xin'er, why do you insist on going?"

"Brother Lin, I lost my father when I was young. Cousin Qingfeng helped me a lot. I can't let him go into danger alone." Tang Xin said.

"Tang Shaoxia didn't go into danger alone, doesn't he still have friends?" Lin Qun asked.

"It's different." Tang Xin said.

"Xin'er." Lin Qun looked at Tang Xin's firm gaze, feeling a little pain in his heart.

The crowd walked for a few moments, and after asking more than a dozen townspeople, they learned that Liu Ye lived in a thatched cottage by the Jiulong Lake, so they rushed over there quickly.

When they came to the edge of Jiulong Lake, they saw a small thatched house standing alone behind a patch of reeds. In front of the house, a father and daughter were talking to a sixty-year-old man, who kept shaking his head at them.Seeing this scene, Tang Qingfeng walked forward with everyone.

The father and daughter were arguing with the old man. When they saw Tang Qingfeng and the others coming, they stopped talking and looked at the people who came.

"Why are you here?" The father of the father and daughter looked at Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu and asked in confusion.

"Master Bai." Tang Qingfeng said, looked at Bai Xiaotian and Bai Yan, and asked them:

"Why are you here?"

"It's a little thing." Bai Xiaotian said.

"Headmaster Bai also came to investigate the ogre?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"You..." Bai Xiaotian heard Tang Qingfeng's words, looked at him, and said in surprise.

Seeing him surprised, Tang Qingfeng nodded and said:

"We have the same purpose as Sect Leader Bai."

"I see." Bai Xiaotian understood.He quickly glanced at the crowd, and then said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Tang Shaoxia, although you want to investigate, this sixth master may not be willing to lead the way."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Ye, and saw that Liu Ye was slowly sharpening his knife, and his face gradually became a little sullen.

After listening to Bai Xiaotian's words, Tang Qingfeng looked at Liu Ye who was sharpening his knife, and said to him:

"Good knife."

"What a good knife, it's just a broken hatchet." Liu Ye said.

"Although it is a hatchet, it can kill people." Tang Qingfeng said.

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, the sixth master waved his knife casually, and all the reeds in front of the house were cut into two pieces and fell to the lake.

Everyone looked at Liu Ye's actions and was slightly surprised, but they heard Tang Qingfeng speak slowly:

"The woodcutter in Jinling, Chai Liu."

Tang Qingfeng paused as he spoke, and continued:

"I've heard about Sixth Lord Chai's name for a long time, but seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation, and this junior admires him."

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Liu Ye glanced at him and said softly:

"Who are you, why do you know this old man?"

"Junior Tang Sect Tang Qingfeng, pay homage to Mr. Chai." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Tang Sect, are you from the Tang Sect? Who are you, Tang Xiaolong?" Chai Liu asked.

"It's my father." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Really? Why doesn't it look like it?" Chai Liu said.

"It doesn't look like it, senior, take a closer look." Tang Qingfeng said with a smile.

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, Chai Liu took a closer look, and the faces that were not very similar at first became very similar.

He was slightly startled, and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"You really are Tang Xiaolong's child."

"En." Tang Qingfeng said to Chai Liu after returning:

"Chai Liuye's name, I heard it from my father. When my father was young, he was in the Jianghu, and he was taken care of by the Liuye. I heard that the Liuye is very powerful in martial arts, and his hatchet is famous in the world. My father was very impressed."

"Really, your father has such a high opinion of me, hahahaha, he thinks highly of me." Chai Liu said, looked at Tang Qingfeng, nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Very good, you have the same personality as your father, I like it very much, you come into the house with me, let's have a good chat."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng nodded, and when everyone was about to follow him into the house, they were stopped by Chai Liu and said;

"What are you doing? I only invited him, not you. Go away, don't bore me."

After Jiang Ling heard Chai Liu's words, he looked at him, and when he was about to explode, he heard Tang Qingfeng stop him:

"Lao Jiang, don't be impulsive, just wait a moment, I will handle this matter."

"Okay." After Jiang Ling returned, he turned around and left with Lu Qing.
