Legend of Xianghuang

Although the terrain of Heifeng Mountain is not dangerous, it is long.It will take seven days for the Wuyang Escort to pass.

Now, it was the fourth day, and apart from the traps of the first day, they did not encounter any ambushes.

However, no one let their guard down.The information that Hong Yao disclosed that day was enough for them to judge that there would be a fierce battle ahead.The combination of bandits and the mysterious and unfathomable heretics made them dare not relax in the slightest.

It was another sunset, and the bodyguard who was exploring the way ahead ran back and said to Wu Yichen: "Young bodyguard, there is an open space two miles ahead, the terrain is open."

Wu Yichen nodded, and said to the people behind him, "Go another two miles and set up camp to rest."

"Wait!" Before Wu Yichen finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the forest.

Everyone was shocked, and they drew out their weapons one after another to point in the direction of the sound, Wu Yichen stared there: "Who? Come out!"

But after a while, a woman in red came out from the forest. She didn't care about the weapons facing her, she jumped down and looked at them calmly.

"Lady Chilian!" Someone in the crowd couldn't help shouting. Although they had never seen a real person, the image of white hair and red clothes had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Lady Chilian's Lianyunzhai is far away from the location of the Wuyang Escort, so as a bodyguard of the Wuyang Escort, she has not yet faced Lianyunzhai.But Lady Chilian is well known in the martial arts world.

However, the astonishment in the hearts of these bodyguards was far less than that of their young bodyguards.

Wu Yichen looked at the person in front of him in surprise, with obvious doubts flashing in his eyes, after watching for a long while he said hesitantly: "You, you are Yun—"

"Miss Chilian from Lianyunzhai." Chu Tianqing interrupted Wu Yichen, got off the bullock cart, walked to the front of the crowd, looked at the person in front of him unpredictablely, "I don't know what advice I can give you?"

Wu Yichen frowned and looked at Chu Tianqing, there was still obvious confusion in his eyes, but he kept his mouth shut and stopped asking.

Chi Lian's eyes swept across Chu Tianqing indifferently, and looked at him: "There is an ambush in the open space ahead, it is very dangerous."

How is this going?Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.The three people who met Lian Yunzhai before revealed a small amount of information because they were controlled by them.But what is the leader of Lianyunzhai in front of him?

They all looked at Chu Tianqing, not knowing what the martial arts leader would do.

"Even if it's dangerous, it's impossible for us to turn around and go another way." Chu Tianqing shook his head and said that he had no intention of doubting Chi Lian at all.

Wu Yichen looked at Chu Tianqing without saying a word, and then at Chi Lian, the hesitation in his eyes became more serious.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Chi Lian's eyes, he glanced at Wu Yichen's team, and remained silent for a while.

"You said that the front is dangerous, so what is their arrangement? Why did you inform us again?" Finally, it was Wu Yichen who spoke first, and he asked two questions, staring at Chi Lian's face inquiringly.

Chi Lian frowned: "They hurt my sisters, why can't I betray them." She glanced lightly at Wu Yichen with dissatisfaction, "I only know that they plan to ambush tonight, but I don't know the specific arrangement. If you don't believe me, I won't Method."

Wu Yichen's doubts were even heavier, was this Chi Lian the person he thought of?If not, why would Tianqing react like this?If so, it would have changed too much, she seemed to really not know herself at all.

"Approximately how many people do they have?" Chu Tianqing said in a concentrated voice, not answering whether he believed it or not.

Chi Lian paused for a while, then frowned impatiently: "People are not the problem, the problem is that they are not human."

"Not human?" Wu Yichen couldn't help following, and everyone couldn't help but spin around the words here.

Chi Lian glanced at Xiang Huang who was at the side, and pursed his lips: "Those evil methods and demon methods are of course not considered human. A little Taoist priest can't be of much use."

Xiang Huang, who was inexplicably told, couldn't help but glance at her, only to see that her face was as cold as frost.

After talking so much, Chi Lian seemed to become more and more impatient, and looked at them for a while: "Are you planning to continue walking?"

"Naturally." Wu Yichen nodded affirmatively, no matter in terms of reputation or business, they had no way out.

Chi Lian was silent for a while, and walked up to Chu Tianqing: "Then I will go with you, if I can't stop their business, then I will take revenge directly."

There was also a trace of doubt in Chu Tianqing's eyes, and he asked, "If that's the case, what should Lian Yunzhai do?"

Chi Lian frowned slightly, turned to look at Xianghuang who was at the side, and walked up to her: "Little Taoist, is there a way to change my appearance? The main thing is...hair color." When it came to hair color, her sentence paused , There seemed to be a flash of something in the eyes.

Xianghuang turned to look at Chu Tianqing, and seeing that she did not stop her, she took out a Taoist talisman from the Qiankun Pendant: "Just take it with you."

A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Chi Lian's face, but he quickly regained his composure. He took the Dao Talisman and held it in his palm for a look before putting it away.

As far as everyone can see, Chi Lian is now a woman dressed in ordinary clothes, with black hair, her face has not changed much, and her clothes have changed into a convenient blouse similar to theirs, one can't help but be amazed.

However, on this side, Wu Yichen was even more suspicious. He looked at Chu Tianqing again, only to see that she was staring at Chi Lian in a daze.

"Young Escort, now...?" Seeing this, an old Escort stepped forward to ask Wu Yichen for instructions. The sky had already darkened a lot, so he should have made a decision earlier.

"Go forward, everyone be alert." Wu Yichen nodded, and finally gave the order to move forward.

In the current situation, even if they knew that there was an ambush ahead, it was impossible to turn around again.

Compared with the open terrain in front, at least they can line up their defenses, which is much safer than the narrow mountain road they came from.

Everyone moved again.

Xianghuang didn't leave the bullock cart very far, and got on it early by himself.Chu Tianqing also turned around and planned to go up, just like the previous two days, but a figure took the place before her and glanced at Chu Tianqing.

Chu Tianqing was not angry either, and got on the horse he hadn't ridden for many days, and followed beside the ox cart.

Wu Yichen couldn't help slowing down his pace, half teasing and half tentative, and said, "Tian Qing, why haven't I seen you so good-tempered before?"

Chu Tianqing glanced at Wu Yichen, raised one corner of his mouth, and said flatly: "Such a beautiful woman, you must treat her politely. Besides, she is a heroine."

"Why don't you say it's a female bandit?" Chi Lian sneered from the side, "Shouldn't a righteous man take it as his duty to eradicate bandits who have committed many crimes?"

"Didn't the imperial court classify us people in Jianghu as bandits? There is no difference." Chu Tianqing replied casually, as if he didn't mean it deliberately.

Chi Lian pursed his lips and stopped talking, but there was some disdain in his eyes.

Everyone quieted down, and the atmosphere gradually became calm.

As the sky grew darker, they finally reached the open land.

A few experienced escorts were sent to check the open space, and after confirming that there were no traps, the convoy entered slowly and found a place close to the entrance to set up camp with its back against the mountain wall.

They lit a bonfire, and everything was in order, as if they didn't know it.

The smell of rice gradually rose, and since he already knew that someone was in ambush, Wu Yichen didn't think about concealing his whereabouts anymore, so he asked the bodyguards to set up pots to cook rice and soup.

Xianghuang was still the same, and found an inconspicuous corner to sit, eating in silence.

The breath here seems a bit strange, but based on my own knowledge alone, I still can't make a clear judgment without the help of Taoist symbols.

But she didn't know whether to light the Qi-seeking talisman.Xiang Huang didn't even know whether he wanted to see the red flame or not.It just so happened that Chu Tianqing asked her not to cast spells to attract the other party's attention for the time being, so she took advantage of the situation to save herself from thinking about the difficult problem.

"Little Taoist priest, why did you go with them?" Chi Lian did not know when he arrived beside Xianghuang, sat down, and looked at Chu Tianqing who was discussing something with Wu Yichen not far away.

Xiang Huang also looked up, then lowered his head again: "By the way, they helped me drive away the robbers."

Chi Lian couldn't help turning his head to look at Xiang Huang: "The robber? You were robbed?" It sounded unbelievable.

"... I didn't have time." Xiang Huang paused before muttering this sentence.Of course she wasn't really robbed, it's just that she hasn't done anything yet.

Chi Lian stretched out his hand to rest his forehead, and then turned his hand to brush his drooping hair.

"Are you Yun Shang, Chu Tianqing's childhood sweetheart?" Before Chi Lian could say anything, Xianghuang asked rarely.

Chi Lian's raised hand froze, and looked at Xiang Huang in surprise: "What did you say?"

"Are you Yunshang?" Xiang Huang looked at Chi Lian, her eyes.

Chi Lian's eyes were very dark, and he flashed past something he couldn't grasp, and quickly turned his head to look away, his whole expression turned cold again: "Who is Yunshang?"

Xiang Huang didn't seem to notice the change of Chi Lian's mood at all, just picked up a branch on the ground and drew on the ground as if playing: "Chu Tianqing grew up together, but they turned against each other overnight."

A gust of wind blew, raising the ends of Chi Lian's hair.

The one-leaf blinding talisman didn't work on Xianghuang. She looked at the white hair blown to her eyes by the wind, and suddenly lost interest in talking.

Do you regret it?He regretted that he broke his sword and love in front of Chu Tianqing that day, and told him that the two would never see each other again.In fact, today, more than ten years later, these questions may not have much meaning.

The two are under forty, one has gray hair and the other has gray hair.Seeing each other now, the attitude of the two of them is completely broken again.

It's just that the former Yunshang's today's Chi Lian has a strong personality, because the sudden change at that time has become a bit more extreme.As for Chu Tianqing, she carried the entire Chu family that she had to carry on her back since she was a child. At that time, she couldn't let go of the Chu family and spoke for Chi Lian without hesitation. Now, even if she let go, she doesn't know where to start. .

"Brother Chu seems to be in a good mood." Xiang Huang said as if chatting, and looked up at Chu Tianqing, "She hasn't had a drink yet."

In the past few days, Xianghuang often saw that Chu Tianqing couldn't leave the wine jar for almost a moment. She didn't drink much, and never let herself get drunk, but she never let herself be completely sober.

Listening to Xianghuang's words, Chi Lian frowned fiercely, and said coldly: "The battle is coming, can you still drink?"

But Xianghuang didn't seem to hear what she said, and still looked at Chu Tianqing without blinking.

Seeing this, Chi Lian couldn't help but said, "Why do you keep looking at her?"

Xianghuang turned her head and looked at Chi Lian blinking in confusion. She didn't understand why Chi Lian was suddenly dissatisfied, but she still told her what she had just seen: "Chu Tianqing is saying that if she dies, we will kill her." The corpses were burned and spread to the lotus pond on the mountain behind Qingruo Temple."
