The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

The bitter scholar was very surprised to see An Lan, who was dressed in pink and looked very luxurious and wealthy.As far as he knows, the only ones who can wear such a suit and appear in the Jianghu in the Seven Embroidery Workshop are those direct disciples.Poppy Poppy and Little Paojiao, who are currently walking around the rivers and lakes, are the most famous among them.

"The girl is..." He made a thoughtful look, An Lan looked at him and just smiled and said in a low voice, "Little girl Lin Le, I have met you."

"I've never heard of a girl in Jianghu, but she looks familiar in her clothes." Dou Hehua said with a smile, and he stretched out his hand to signal Ou Mufeng and An Lan to sit down.It is still the stone table, but the bamboo chairs have been replaced.

An Lan took a look, put down the front door and sat down.Watching Dou Hehua make tea: "The official disciples of Qixiufang all have the same set, the difference is just some jewelry." Indeed, the official disciples of Qixiufang all have the same set of clothes, but the decorations on them and the accompanying jewelry clearly indicate their rank .An Lan didn't want to be too special when going out, but she didn't choose low-level disciple clothes either.

Dou Hehua nodded: "My surname is Dou, and my name is He Hua. My name is Luozhong. Jianghu is known as a hard scholar. Girls can call me Brother Dou when they look young." He made it clear, and he used the same words used by Jianghu.After all, she won't be rude to the beautiful woman, and she can still win some kindness.

An Lan nodded: "Lin Le, Seven Embroidery Workshop."

"Miss Lin... This is Pu'er that has been stored for six years. I don't know if I am used to drinking it." Dou Hehua nodded, poured An Lan a cup of tea, and pushed it over.Ou Mufeng was on the side and wanted to stop it, but he didn't say anything because he thought that this woman could eat spiders and scorpions at will in the Five Poison Sect.But he didn't do it himself.

In fact, he really wronged Dou Hehua this time.This time in Jinshan, Dou Hehua needs a well-known and decent cover. Although women need more care along the way, they are easier to deceive than men.Ou Mufeng has known him for many years, as long as he helps this time, he will definitely be able to send him in the future.Huge combat power is much more important to him than poisoning and Gu.

An Lan's short-term teacup sniffed lightly: "This is cooked for five years and then stored for six years. It's ten years old, and the color is like grape wine. It's a pity that there is no luminous cup." She smiled and sipped Take a sip, the mellow and thick tea soup is like a bowl of delicious broth, it is very delicious in the mouth.

Dou Hehua's eyes brightened: "Young lady knows how to tea!"

"Just learn and sell now. The people I met a few years ago liked these elegance, and I learned some of them when I went to the country. I'm not a joke." An Lan put down his teacup and looked at the sky: "It's almost noon now, but I have to wait Leave after afternoon?"

"Have a cup of tea to warm your stomach. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time after entering the mountains this time. The girl has something to say, so it's better to think carefully at this time. It's inevitable that we are in the mountains and make people outside worry for nothing."

After hearing what he said, An Lan thought for a while and nodded: "Sir, you are right. I was going on a trip. After all, I have to leave here and return to Yangzhou at the end of the year. As long as this time is not out, there is nothing to worry about." .”

Dou Hehua did not expect to get such an answer, he nodded: "Then drink this cup of tea and leave."

Dou Howard tea, drink very slowly.Ou Mufeng was a little anxious, but he could only wait.An Lan poured one cup after another with an old god. She drank it fast, not like a cow swallowing peony.When Dou Hehua finished her cup, she just drank the whole pot.

Seeing her being so forthright, Dou Hehua laughed heartily: "The girl is a person of temperament, after all, she is different from other people." This other person is obviously referring to Ou Mufeng.

An Lan shook her head with a smile: "I'm not a temperamental person, but I just think that today's wine is drunk today, and tomorrow's things will be discussed tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she sighed with emotion and looked at Dou Hehua: "But if you want gone?"

Dou Hehua nodded, got up and walked into the room, took his own baggage, put it in a bamboo basket and carried it behind his back, from which he could see that there were some things wrapped in oil paper.An Lan lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and walked beside Ou Mufeng: "Should we enter in a straight line or look for a guide?"

She looked at Ou Mufeng, but actually asked Dou Hehua.Dou Hehua walked ahead and led the way.He walked in front, took out Sinan to identify the direction, and explained: "No guide is needed. Although the mountain forest is the territory of Miaojiang, it does not hinder other people who enter the mountain. I heard that Qixiufang's lightness kung fu is very unique. I don't know the girl. Can you keep up?"

"It's okay, sir, just lead the way." An Lan shook her head, indicating that she was fine.Ou Mufeng glanced at An Lan, thinking about her brisk lightness kung fu, and nodded to Dou Hehua: "Let's go!"

Dou Hehua looked at Ou Mufeng and said there was no problem, so he stopped asking.His footsteps slammed a deep mark on the ground, and then his body shot into the distant forest like an arrow.Then pause and change breath on the tips of the trees and the top rocks.Ou Mufeng watched Dou Hehua move forward, and followed him out.Both of them kicked the ground with great strength, and the force they gave left marks on the ground.An Lan took two steps forward, her body floated upwards lightly, and then a ring-shaped air current rippled from around her body, and then she swirled, dancing in the air and moving forward.

Dou Hehua stopped on a limestone rock not far away and waited for them. Looking at the beautiful woman floating in the sky, he was immediately amazed.

It is widely rumored in the Jianghu that Qixiufang is gorgeous and elegant, and the women are like graceful fairies.He originally thought it was just rumors from the world, but only after meeting today did he realize that there is indeed something unique.Compared with Cihang Jingzhai's willow leaf rafting, it is much better.This set of exercises seems to be an independent lightness exercise, not the kind circulated in the world.From the posture of her dancing in the air, it can be seen that hovering, rotating, forwarding, etc., it is difficult to see the movement of the airflow.

An Lan stood lightly on the top of a fir tree next to the rock where Ou Mufeng stayed, and the slender branches seemed to be crumbling.She stood very steadily, and turned around from time to time to stabilize her posture, which made Dou Hehua more sure of the uniqueness of her lightness kung fu.It's just that he doesn't know that this is not light work at all, but internal work.Once Qixiufang's internal strength Bingxin Jue is combined with the exclusive lightness skill, it will be fine and go around in circles.

"Miss Lin is really good at kung fu!" Dou Hehua thought of his purpose, and his eyes deepened.He wasn't sure how much this woman knew about herbs.

"Hehe..." An Lan smiled lightly and shook her head: "It's so-so, it's nothing more than that. But where are we going next?"

"One hundred miles to the southwest, there is a tiankeng. Our destination is there." Dou Hehua pointed to the southwest direction, and An Lan glanced there to recall the geographical distribution in his memory.I didn't want to understand that there was a tiankeng there, but I just nodded because of the geographical difference between the two worlds and didn't pay much attention.

"Then shall we go there now, or what?" After all, she was only invited to help along the way, and it was better to listen to the master as to how to go.

Dou Hehua nodded with a smile: "Indeed, if you keep going on the road, you may not have enough internal energy. Let's go a little further and go down to rest. Brother Mu Feng is running out of time right now, so it's not good to delay."

"Okay!" An Lan nodded: "Go straight ahead!" She was facing southwest.

Dou Hehua nodded, An Lan nodded, took a step forward and swished out, Dou Hehua didn't even stop him, just watched An Lan fluttering down like a little flower.During the period, it paused and rotated in the air, and moved forward so far that before the two of them had time to react, it became a small black spot.

Seeing this, Dou Hehua nodded to Ou Mufeng: "You can't make Miss Lin weaker, what do you think, brother Mufeng?"

Ou Mufeng nodded and didn't say much.He looked at the woman with the little black spot in front of him, thinking about the interaction when he first met that day.He looked at Dou Hehua who was one step ahead, and suddenly realized that this action became very interesting.

Although Mingjiao is far away from the Central Plains, it doesn't mean that there has been no communication at all.Since the Mingjiao was established, it had contact with the imperial court.Coupled with the contact with the Yinkui sect after the end of Tang Dynasty, they made their visits to the Central Plains even more covert.

Not long ago, I heard that Cihang Jingzhai had found the successor of Huajian School.According to Mingjiao's news, the successor of Huajian Sect is not someone else.It was the heir to the Rongguo Mansion, one of the four princes and eight princes, first-class general Jia She.And another shocking news is that the woman in front of him looks very similar to the wife of first-class general Jia She.

Obviously, the woman did not hide her appearance.She called herself Lin Le, and although she didn't say any other name, it was obvious that the first-class general's wife was related to Qixiufang.It's just that it's not clear whether this relationship is what he thought.

The three of them soon arrived under a huge fir tree, and the surrounding trees were relatively sparse.When An Lan was in the air, he observed that the mountainous area of ​​the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in front of him was already in a drought and less rainy situation.Although Lijiang still has such a hazy rainy season, it is very rare in comparison.

Seeing this reminded her of the speculation of a schoolmaster friend.Some people say that the drought in Yunnan at that time was due to the transformation of the water and cloud climate by the Three Gorges Project.However, there are still a group of people who are more supportive of the statement that the sky, the earth and the climate change.What she saw in front of her made her sure that the latter judgment was more reasonable.

An Lan obviously didn't know that what Ou Mufeng was thinking about at this moment was the matter between her and Jia Amnesty.What's more, Jia Amnesty, who was in Rongguo Mansion at this time, had already set off for Yunnan alone.

Sitting in the carriage, Jia Amnesty looked at the series of residence papers received in his hands.On each piece of yellow letter paper, there is a letter from Dali.The recent actions of the Five Poison Sect made him a little worried. After all, a large number of Mingjiao disciples went to Yunnan and Guizhou, which made the martial arts in the Central Plains a little nervous.

Mingjiao has been very close to the Yinkui faction these years, after all, they are both in the northwest.Mingjiao and Yinkui faction collided, so to speak, it was nothing more than Lang Youqing's deliberate fornication.But right now Cihang Jingzhai is staring at the capital fiercely.He didn't want to leave at first, but that damned woman actually sent someone to deliver a letter saying that she was going to Yunnan, Guizhou and Dali.

Going to Dali as Qixiufang at this time, what exactly does this woman want to do?He looked at the settled house and decided to go there.

The three of An Lan, Ou Mufeng and Dou Hehua lit a bonfire in the open space below.She sat on a thick branch leaning against the tree trunk and looked at the two people below a foot high.He took out an apple from the space and gnawed it slowly.

Ou Mufeng stood up and looked up at her: "Rest here first, it is said that there is a cliff in front with a cave where you can spend the night."

An Lan looked down at him, Mi/Mi smiled: "In fact, it's not bad to spend the night here, but I'm afraid it will be delayed."

Ou Mufeng frowned and looked around: "It's not safe." After saying this, he felt that it was not very appropriate, and added: "The time here is enough."

An Lan didn't say anything more, but leaned against the tree pole and closed her eyes to rest.The secret medicine's two secret guards told her that there were quite a few people following her, and some of them couldn't see friend or foe.But there is a group of people who obviously want to do it.It's just that they don't look like Miaojiang people when they are dressed.But the weapon he was holding was a scimitar from the Miaojiang area.

In terms of attack, this area is the most suitable.She looked calm at this moment, but she was still a little nervous when she said it.Although he has been trained in sparring with others all the time, and he is also very proficient in martial arts practice, but he has never had a real wounding.She didn't know if it was any different from those in online games.

Dou Hehua picked some herbs, and Ou Mufeng shot two wild birds to make a living.It's just that An Lan stayed up there without saying a word, and the two spontaneously left a copy for her when she came down.

The dusk in the west was getting more and more obvious. After Dou Hehua sprinkled some things, he called for the two of them to go on the road.

Seeing that she was going to leave, An Lan stood up and lightly used her hands to walk in the direction they were going.She took the lead, making Dou Hehua look a little bad.He just noticed that there seemed to be some people coming around, but he didn't know whether these people were running towards Ou Mufeng or this woman.For himself, he is quite sure.Although the cooperation with the Central Plains court will expose him to the eyes of some people, it will also increase his security.Now he is just a rural poison doctor, with some reputation but not obvious.

An Lan soon reached the bottom of the cliff, stood on the crooked branch and looked up. The high cliff was clean, and there were not even some vines.She used to play rock climbing for a while, and there are often such cliffs in the karst terrain in Yunnan and Guizhou.Some cliffs have experienced the baptism of years and Feng Shui and become flaky structures.It's just that this cliff, at a glance, knows that the other side must be mostly slopes.

When Dou Hehua took Ou Mufeng to explore the road, he stayed here.He took two slow steps and walked to the grass next to An Lan. Holding the rattan belt behind his back, he pointed to a dark place in the middle of the cliff and said, "That's where it is. It's easy to defend but hard to attack. It's sunny in the daytime and snakes don't like it either." .”

An Lan nodded, and then looked at Ou Mufeng who came over with a smile: "You are slow!"

Ou Mufeng heard her teasing, looked up at her and frowned: "Qixiufang's qinggong is unique, it's normal if it's slow."

Dou Hehua looked at the woman with a shrunken mouth and said nothing, then looked at Ou Mufeng, laughed and said, "Let's go up first! There is a small stream in the forest to the south, and the water is very clear. Let's go here today, and then go over the mountain tomorrow." .After passing this cliff, there are continuous mountains behind. If you want to find such a good place, it will be impossible.”

"That's okay, it's just to help save people. Just do it in a hurry." How could An Lan not understand what he meant, just smiled and flew up indifferently.He tiptoed hard on a cliff and floated into the cave.

The cave was probably a section of the cave in the early years, but it was only exposed after geological changes.An Lan once watched a popular science program about this kind of cave.It is said that it should have been underground before, and it was part of the underground river.However, geological changes cause the mountains to rise or the ground to collapse.These former dark rivers were exposed, and after a long time they became dry caves.Just rely on rainwater to increase the humidity in the cave.

The entrance of the cave is very dry. It can be seen that it is exposed to the sun during the day, and there is no running water at night. Many limestone walls become hard and smooth.There are traces of the wind on it, and she has seen this kind of landscape made of wind in the western national parks of the United States.Fingers caressing the curvature and changes on it, there are some sharp places that are no worse than the blade.

Walking in curiously, there are traces of fireworks near the entrance of the cave.It can be seen that almost everyone who passes by this side will choose to settle here.The smoke trails here and there announced their existence.

Dou Hehua and Ou Mufeng entered the cave, and began to sort out a place for use at night.The hole is very spacious, half the size of a basketball court.Naturally, the two of them big men wouldn't work for An Lan and a woman.An Lan also went on an adventure safely.

Go into the cave, because the sun is already westward at this time.The entrance of the cave was still bright, and it was difficult to see things a little bit inside.An Lan took out a soft cloud-white spirit stone with a slight stimulation of the internal force, and it emitted the brilliance of an incandescent lamp, about sixty to seventy watts.

She walked in the cave holding the spirit stone. The sharpness of the stone on the ground was obviously the result of few people and beasts stepping into it.Kicking with your toes, you can find pebbles buried in the ground.Obviously, these gravels that have collapsed from the roof of the cave have only appeared in recent years.

There are various stalactites hanging on the walls, but some have been fossilized due to drought.Some metal mines shone brightly on the walls because of the light.

She touched it curiously, and there was a cold touch on the dry wall.Those gold and silver pink colors are the chemical result of metal oxidation or mutual fusion.With the bright lights, it is very magnificent and beautiful.

The cave is very long, but it is dark and low behind.Holes are scattered all over the place, and it seems that the entire mountain peak may be hollowed out and connected in series.An Lan didn't want to take the risk of going underground, and she didn't want to get stuck in a bad place. She could only get out by moving back and forth through the Seven Embroidery Workshop.Therefore, he took away the spirit stone, turned around and returned quickly according to the same way he came.
