step on mountains and rivers

Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu rested for one night, and the next day, everyone set off for Jinghu very early.

The four of them passed through Jinghu Town, headed west from the trail all the way, and arrived at Jinghu West Mountain before noon.

When a few people arrived near Xishan, they found that the road leading to Xishan on Jinghu Lake had been blocked.

On the front of West Mountain is Mirror Lake, and on both sides are dense forests. The forests are tall, overgrown with vegetation, and filled with mist. If people enter, it is easy to get lost.The only way to get in and out is this trail on Mirror Lake.Now that the trail is blocked, the four of them cannot enter Xishan to investigate the situation.

Jiang Ling glanced at the guards of the Nangong family not far away, thought for a while, and then walked towards the guards.

When they got close, the guard saw Jiang Ling approaching, and immediately reprimanded him:

"Mirror Lake has been sealed off, so no one can approach it!"

After Jiang Ling heard what the guards said, he glanced at them and said:

"Tsk tsk, when did Jinghu become the private property of the Nangong family?"

Seeing what Jiang Ling said, the guard immediately raised his vigilance and asked:

"Who are you? What are you doing in Mirror Lake?"

"Me?" Jiang Ling said as he looked at the guards, and then said, "I'm just an idler waiting to come to Jinghu Lake to play, why? Can't I?"

Hearing Jiang Ling's arrogant tone, the guard felt that he was deliberately looking for trouble, so he said angrily:

"These are all from the Nangong family, I advise you not to cause trouble, get out, or don't blame us for being rude!"

Seeing that the guards were so rude, Jiang Ling asked them:

"You're welcome? How can you be rude? You're being rude and let me see? I haven't seen anyone being rude to me yet."

Seeing Jiang Ling speak so arrogantly, the guard said angrily:

"You don't want to eat a toast, you have to drink fine wine, brothers, give it to me, and teach this ignorant kid a lesson!"

As they spoke, they picked up their long knives and rushed towards Jiangling. Jiangling saw a few people rushing, and was about to fight back, but was interrupted by a voice:

"What are you doing?!"

Hearing the scolding, the guard immediately stopped attacking, but was knocked to the ground by Jiang Ling's punch.

Jiang Ling stared blankly at the guard, then at his own fist, and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I didn't have time to stop."

At this moment, the person who scolded had already approached.I saw a young man in pure white clothes standing in front of Jiang Ling, looking at Jiang Ling, he said slowly:

"Brother, if you have something to say, you don't need to use fists and feet, it hurts the peace."

Seeing that he was so kind, Jiang Ling said to him politely:

"It's easy to say. My friends came to Jingzhou. The scenery of Jinghu and West Mountain is very beautiful. I wanted to take them to play, but you blocked me. What should I do?" Tang Qingfeng and three people.

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, the young man in white looked at Tang Qingfeng and the others, then at Jiang Ling and said:

"Brother, this is really embarrassing for me. Our Nangong family will close the lake when we have important matters in Xishan. Mirror Lake is so big. If you want to visit, the scenery in other places besides Xishan is also beautiful. Why don't you go and have a look? ?”

"No, we came here for the scenery of Xishan Mountain." Jiang Ling said.

"Brother, is there really nothing to discuss?" the young man in white said.

Jiang Ling glanced at him, but didn't speak.The young man also looked at Jiang Ling and remained silent.

At this moment, behind the young man, two gorgeously dressed men and women were walking towards this side, and the woman among them ran forward after seeing Jiang Ling and said:

"Brother Jiang, why are you here?"

Then she looked at the young man in white beside her and said, "Brother, who are you?"

Hearing the woman's tone, the young man saw that she seemed to know Jiang Ling, so he asked:

"Qingqing, do you know this person?"

Nangong Qingqing nodded and said to the young man:

"Well, this is Jiang Ling, the eldest disciple of the Beggar Gang. In the past, disciples of the Beggar Gang often came to the mine to help out. Brother Jiang was responsible for communicating with me about this matter."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Ling again, and introduced him:

"Brother Jiang, this is my elder brother Nangong Yu."

After Nangong Qingqing finished speaking, Jiang Ling glanced at Nangong Yu and said, "So it's the eldest son of the Nangong family."

Nangong Yu heard that Jiang Ling was running on her, so she replied, "So he's a big disciple of the Beggar Gang."

Nangong Qingqing listened to the words of the two, and felt that their tone seemed a bit wrong, then looked at them suspiciously and said:

"Brother, Brother Jiang, what's the matter with you?"

After hearing Nangong Qingqing's words, the two looked at each other and turned their heads in disgust.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Nangong Qingqing was about to say something when the man behind her asked:

"Qingqing, big brother, what's wrong?"

Nangong Qingqing heard the voice, and quickly turned to look at the young man for help:

"Brother Xin."

Nangong Xin heard the meaning of Nangong Qingqing's words, so she asked Nangong Yu softly:

"Brother, is there a misunderstanding?"

Listening to Nangong Xin's words, Nangong Yu said in a moderate tone:

"It's nothing, Jiang Shaoxia wants to take a friend to swim in the lake, I'm trying to persuade him to go back."

"Oh, that's how it is." Nangong thought in his heart, then he looked at Jiangling, then at Jiangling's friends, and said to Nangongyu:

"Brother, since Jiang Shaoxia is Qingqing's friend and a member of the Beggar Gang, it's fine to let them in. It's just that Shenlong Village has come to harass frequently recently, and we need to pay more attention."

After listening to Nangong Xin's words, Nangong Yu thought about it, and then nodded.

Seeing him nodding, Nangong Xin said to Jiang Ling:

"Jiang Shaoxia, we are deeply sorry for blocking you before. Since you and your friends want to come and play, then come in together."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Ling nodded his head and said:

"it is good."

Nangong Xin saw that Jiang Ling was willing to calm down the matter, so he said to Nangong Qingqing:

"Qingqing, since Jiang Shaoxia is your friend, you should just stay with them well. Brother and I still have things to deal with, so we won't be with you."

"Well, okay, big brother, second brother, you go to work first, leave this to me." Nangong Qingqing said.

"En." After Nangong Xin replied, she and Nangong Yu left here.

Seeing the two leave, Nangong Qingqing looked at Jiang Ling and said:

"Brother Jiang, call your friend over here. There are many beautiful places in Xishan. I'll take you to visit them."

"Okay, please trouble Miss Nangong, miss, please wait for me." Jiang Ling ran towards Tang Qingfeng and the others as he spoke.

Tang Qingfeng saw Jiang Ling running towards him, so he asked:

"How about it?"

"Well, let's go in." Jiang Ling said.

"En." Everyone nodded.Then he followed Jiang Ling and walked towards Nangong Qingqing.

Seeing everyone approaching, Nangong Qingqing hurriedly greeted them:

"Hello everyone, little girl Nangong Qingqing, I have met you young heroes."

"Wudang Li Zhenwu,

Tang Men Tang Qingfeng,

Medical Immortal Valley Lu Qing,

Miss Nangong is polite. "

The three returned.

Nangong Qingqing nodded slightly, and replied with a smile:

"Tang Shaoxia, Li Daochang, and Mr. Lu, please be polite."

Then she looked at Jiang Ling and said:

"Brother Jiang, let's go in."

"Okay." Jiang Ling replied.

After they finished speaking, they followed Nangong Qingqing into the Mirror Lake West Mountain.

Nangong Qingqing led the crowd along the edge of Jinghu Lake.

The edge of Jinghu Lake is full of patches of reeds. The withered and yellow reeds sway gently in the cold wind of early winter, but they do not have a scattered beauty.Mirror Lake is so wide that you can't see the end at a glance.The blue lake is like a bright mirror, clear and pure.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Li Zhenwu felt very calm in his heart, as calm as this mirror-like mirror lake, without any waves.

Just as he was meditating, Tang Qingfeng called softly beside his ear: "Zhenwu."

At this moment, a blue bird flew down from the sky, touched the water surface lightly, stirred up waves and then flew into the distance.

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, Li Zhenwu turned his head, looked at Tang Qingfeng and smiled slightly:

"Brother Tang, the scenery is very beautiful."

Tang Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment after hearing his words, then smiled and said, "Very beautiful."

At this time, Jiang Ling was chatting with Nangong Qingqing, and Lu Qing was by his side.

I only heard Jiang Ling say:

"Miss Nangong, I have something to ask, can I tell you?"

"Oh? Brother Jiang, what do you want to ask?" Nangong Qingqing said.

"I want to ask, why did the Nangong family seal the lake and prevent people from entering the West Mountain? Is there something hidden?" Jiang Ling said.

Nangong Qingqing was a little surprised to see Jiang Ling's very frank opening, and then said:

"Actually, it's not a hidden secret. It's just that we recently discovered a secret mine in Jinghu, but for some reason, people in Shenlongzhai suddenly became interested in the mine and came to harass it many times. That's why we sealed Jinghu to prevent them from going to the mine." Come make trouble."

"I see." Jiang Ling said. "I don't know what kind of dense mine it is, but it will attract the attention of the people in Shenlongzhai."

Nangong Qingqing looked at Jiang Ling, pondered for a moment, and then said softly:

"It's an ancient ore called Chiqing meteorite."

"Red Green Meteorite?" Jiang Ling questioned.

When everyone heard Jiang Ling's words, they turned their attention to the two of them.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Nangong Qingqing explained:

"The Chiqing Meteorite is a flying stone from the sky in ancient times. After falling into the ground, it evolved through tens of thousands of years of changes. According to legend, this stone has the power to transform lightning."

"It's so powerful." Lu Qing sighed.

Nangong Qingqing nodded, and then said:

"According to the records of Mining Benji: There are stones in Beishan, with a naked body and a green face, like ice crystals, which were raised by the Yu family of Qiuyuan. also."

Tang Qingfeng heard Nangong Qingqing's words, and said slowly:

"It does not melt when it encounters fire, but turns into electricity when it encounters thunder. It seems that this stone only has the effect of transforming pure energy."

Nangong Qingqing saw that Tang Qingfeng was so smart and could see the essence clearly at a glance, she looked at him in surprise and said:

"Tang Shaoxia is extremely intelligent. You are right. We also tested it after digging a little bit before."

After hearing Nangong Qingqing's words, Tang Qingfeng asked immediately:

"What have you tested? Have you tried internal force?"

Seeing Tang Qingfeng's question, Nangong Qingqing looked at him in shock, then slowly put away her expression, and smiled softly:

"Everyone, it's getting late, everyone hasn't had lunch yet, how about we go to eat something before going shopping?"

Seeing Nangong Qingqing change the subject, Tang Qingfeng already knew the answer in his heart, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Ling saw that Tang Qingfeng didn't ask any further questions, so he replied:

"Okay, then I would like to thank Miss Nangong for your hospitality."

"Brother Jiang, you're welcome, let's go." Nangong Qingqing said and led a few people towards the residence of Nangong's family.

Jiang Ling and Nangong Qingqing chatted in front, and Tang Qingfeng, Li Zhenwu and Lu Qing walked behind them.The three chatted while walking, only to hear Lu Qing ask:

"Brother Tang, are you saying that the Four Sacred Palaces are looking for Chiqing Meteorite to build magical weapons?"

"Well, they took such painstaking efforts to obtain the score, so they shouldn't use it for collection." Tang Qingfeng said.

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, Lu Qing fell into silence thinking about Nangong Qingqing's statement.

Li Zhenwu looked at the two and sighed softly:

"The scarlet green meteorite is so powerful, but the Four Sacred Palaces want to use it to make magic weapons. I don't know what their intentions are. If the magic weapons are created, the world will inevitably set off turbulent waves, but I don't know how many people will die because of it."

Tang Qingfeng saw that Li Zhenwu was worried, so he comforted him:

"Zhenwu doesn't have to worry, isn't that what we are here for? As long as we try our best to stop it, no matter what ambitions the Four Sacred Palaces have, we will definitely not succeed easily."

"En." Li Zhenwu nodded slightly after listening to Tang Qingfeng's words.

After listening to the words of the two, Lu Qing felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. What kind of conspiracy is hidden in the Four Saints Palace?
