: A lot of lies about the clever magpie

A magpie's cry of joy broke through the spring scenery all over the mountain. At this time, the warm afternoon sun was wandering in the embrace of the mountains and rivers, and all the eyes could see were the green forests and towering ancient trees.

Among the low branches and bushes, there are green buds and white flowers interspersed at random. Wild trails run through it, and there are also beasts and Taoists walking slowly away. As soon as the sight reaches the mountain col, you can see the rich green color about to emerge, as if

At any time, it will slowly extend to the horizon due to the printing and dyeing of clogs and teeth.

In such a place surrounded by green trees, wild flowers in bloom, and the interesting landscapes and ancient trails of the mountains complement each other, a quiet wind quietly passed by, and finally blew into a huge tree about four feet high, ten feet wide, and hollowed out like a miraculous workmanship.

The ancient trees in the cave also bring a touch of sunshine and warmth to this quiet and almost cold space.

"Are you awake? Get up and have something to eat."

Jiang Wen's voice came from outside the tree hole, and his tone was lazy and leisurely. He seemed to be leaning on the tree trunk and basking in the sun, trying his best to enjoy a peaceful life, without any intention of showing up.

There was no sound in the cave, as if there was no one there.

"It's been three days, young lady, why don't you get up and take a few steps."

Jiang Wen's voice continued to sound, and with the warm afternoon breeze blowing everywhere, he could even hear some laziness after waking up from a morning sleep, and he seemed particularly heartless.

But there was still no news from the cave.

"How about I apologize to you? Just say something to me. I'm going to die of boredom staying here."

Realizing that there was still no response in the tree hole, a rustling sound came from outside. Then the cloth shoes suddenly fell to the ground, and the hem of his clothes brushed against the branches and leaves. Only then did Jiang Wen's face suddenly appear and he poked his head into the tree hole.

It is strange to say that in this surprisingly large tree hole, there is actually a bed, a Buddha, and a place for a pot. It is like a Zen room used by monks to retreat from the world and practice.

But when I looked into the tree hole at this time, I saw a charming-looking girl, lying flat on the stone bed indifferently. She even turned her head to the other side expressionlessly when she saw Jiang Wen walking in.

.

"Still angry..."

Jiang Wen scratched his head. Although he wanted to apologize, he didn't know where to start - he just pushed her into the water and almost drowned her, then used the King of Han's green knife to chop wood and cut mountains, and then cooked porridge.

After taking in the hallucinogenic mushrooms, I shouldn't be able to stop talking to myself for three days.

Seeing that the charming and naive girl was still turning her head to be angry, Jiang Wen thought for a while, then returned to the tree hole and said slowly: "Miss Shuang'er, Jiang actually heard some news from outside and came to the branch just now..."

As he expected, Jiang Wen keenly noticed that the girl's ears twitched slightly. Although she still pretended to be indifferent, her breathing and heartbeat were beating a beat faster. It was obvious that this boring life was a bit unbearable for her.

.

As of today, Jiang Wen and Luo Shuang'er have been living in the mountains for the past month. In addition to trying to recover their bodies every day, they are looking for a place to stay. The two of them did not dare to expose their whereabouts easily. Fortunately, a monk with a Guangxi accent "took the initiative" to let them go.

After leaving the tree room where they practiced, the two finally settled down.

At this time, the question that made them most curious was where they were now and what was happening outside.

"Miss Shuang'er, Mr. Jiang found out that we are currently in the mountains near Binchuan Prefecture. If we walk north for two days, we should be at the headquarters of the Da Luo Wei Commandery Department."

Jiang Wen thought about what he had gathered and continued, "To be precise, we are now on the north side of Erhai Lake in Cangshan Mountain, at the foot of Jizu Mountain. It's no wonder that we always meet monks here..."

The Jizu Mountain in Jiang Wen's mouth was originally called Jiuquya. It is famous for its three peaks at the front and a ridge at the back, shaped like a chicken's foot. In addition to the majestic and green scenery, Jizu Mountain is also a famous Buddhist holy place.

It is said that after the death of Sakyamuni Buddha, the founder of the past, the Venerable Kassapa, came to Jizu Mountain to hold the ancestral robes given by the Buddha and enter samadhi, waiting for Maitreya to be reborn. Jizu Mountain has also become Kassapa's dojo, and there are many precious monuments on the mountain.

At its peak, Jizu Mountain had thirty-six temples, seventy-two nunneries, one hundred and eight temples, and as many as five thousand monks.

But that's not the point. The key is that Jizu Mountain is located in Yunnan. Jiang Wen didn't know why he, who was still fighting Wuyang outside the South China Sea, woke up thousands of miles away in Yunnan - his last place before.

In memory, he still tried his best to deal with Yi Xi with all his sword moves. Seeing that the dragon ghost wanted to escape, he entered the water with the Zhanlu Sword and threw himself into the vast waves.

At that time, he knew very well that the vitality of the Boiling Sea only existed under the whirlpools on the water surface. The South China Sea was originally a shackles to the dragon ghosts. Countless undercurrents and whirlpools underneath had long been opened and merged with the Guangzhou earth veins extending in all directions, so it seemed that there was no chance of death.

On the contrary, people can escape from the dead in the place where they are born, just like in the Zhou Dynasty in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "went into the water to fight the dragon and traveled for dozens of miles, and after three days and nights, he finally killed the dragon and came out." Because he put life and death aside, he could use the Dongting ground veins to avert danger.

At that time, Jiang Wen was not completely sure, but he had to make a bet. Fortunately, judging from the result, the bet was right. Since he and Luo Shuang'er, who fell into the whirlpool, could escape alive, Minmin should

It’s not a big deal, but the former ended up in an unexpected place, which is too far away...

As a wave of memories came back, some lingering memories appeared in Jiang Wen's mind. If there was still a choice at that time, Jiang Wen would never jump into the whirlpool and face those people who were entangled like worms.

"Five Sheep".

When chasing into the whirlpool, in the "narrow" space that could not even be described as dark, Jiang Wen suddenly noticed a huge thing that was forced to squeeze and curl up, like a bunch of molluscs entangled together. They were ugly.

They were entangled with each other, and they were constantly dividing and multiplying in the small space. As Jiang Wen rushed in, the whole group stood up and bared their teeth.

Jiang Wen only felt the terror of the dragon ghosts at this time, because in front of them, the earth veins were already like a giant lying corpse. All kinds of tissues and organs were being destroyed, connective tissue began to melt, tendons lost their toughness, and the contents of blood vessels

The layers begin to break, and the residue mixes into the blood to form thrombi everywhere, and the blood flow is blocked, causing necrosis of various organs.

Not far away, Wuyang, who died from a sword ulcer, was still bleeding with pus and blood, but he was far from getting rid of the mountain of nightmares, because more depleted and decaying things were rushing towards Jiangwen's collapse. Silent rumbles were heard.

As he rang in his ears, there seemed to be a huge black monument coming towards him from the abyss, and the only thing he could rely on was the long sword in his palm that turned into deep black when it touched the water...

The cries of orioles and magpies outside the tree brought Jiang Wen back to his consciousness. The chill that penetrated his bones was slowly fading away, but it still lingered in his heart. From time to time, claws and scales were revealed. No matter how much he basked in the sun, he couldn't dispel it.

So he continued.

"Miss Luo, with your intelligence, you should have already figured out that this road is your father's way of survival for you. Old hero Luo is so affectionate, why do you bother to be angry here?"

Jiang Wen spoke slowly, and in his heart he couldn't help but sigh at Luo Yuantong's great skill and deep scheming. He even deceived his own daughter without telling others. After all, no one could have imagined that this would be a fatal situation.

The door to life is actually opened in the vast South China Sea.

But thinking about it carefully, if Luo Shuang'er stayed in Guangzhou this time, no matter how carefully Luo Yuantong took care of her or even took the trouble to hide her somewhere else, the Luo family would have to face the wrath of Shang Kexi and Qing Ting.

At that time, the fate of a fugitive like Hong Xiguan is destined. The chance of escaping is very slim. Instead, he goes to the Nanhai Ancient Temple to suppress the ghosts. With Luo Shuang'er's ability and water nature, there is a high probability.

Escape from the underwater whirlpool.

This birth gate was what Luo Yuantong had to carry alone during the landslide and the ground cracking. Even Luo Shuang'er and Ying Laodao hid it, let alone the vast world. In other words, in the eyes of the world, Luo Shuang'er was already buried in the belly of a fish in the South China Sea.

Even if there is suspicion about the dead person, no one will go to Yunnan, thousands of miles away, to hunt him down.

More importantly, Luo Yuantong had previously deliberately held a massive "Golden Basin Washing Ceremony" and summoned the martial arts heroes to participate in the grand event. As a result, Luo Shuang'er at this time was basically equivalent to "going to sea and dying" in front of everyone in the martial arts world. That is to say, now

In this world, as long as Luo Shuang'er doesn't take the initiative to reveal her identity, no one in the world will be able to find her!

Every time Jiang Wen thought of what Luo Yuantong said to him in the stormy atrium, he would realize that the feeling of licking the calf was extremely heavy.

In the face of this scheming, Jiang Wen could only lament that Luo Yuantong was indeed the only remaining rhino wielder in the world. Once he turned his thoughts on dealing with Yixi things elsewhere, he could set off such a monstrous wave in an instant -

-If it was not him who entered the sea at that time, but Wu Liuqi as planned, there would be no way to survive at this time!

It's a pity that his daughter doesn't seem to appreciate this painstaking effort.

From Luo Shuang'er's point of view, what she felt was that her father was deceiving and plotting against her. He seemed to have entrusted him with important tasks, but he used other tricks to exclude her. This made her think about everything and then recall her three years of hard training by the Dongting Lake.

, and even almost broke his heart with anger.

"Miss Luo, there are some things Jiang doesn't know whether to say or not. In addition to these inquiries, I also found out some news about Guangzhou and your father..."

Jiang Wen knew a truth well, that is, when a girl loses her temper, she must not dwell on the matter for too long. Sometimes it is more important to divert her attention, so she deliberately hesitated, looked embarrassed, and protracted.

The accent of "" is even more thoughtful.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wen found Luo Shuang'er, who was lying on the stone bed with her head turned and silent, slowly raising her arms and sitting up. For a moment, her charming and ignorant face and her cold expression collided, staring straight at Jiang Wen.

At this time, silence was better than sound. Jiang Wen immediately understood what the other party meant, and also understood that the other party understood what he meant.

This sounds a bit convoluted, but you must know that Yunnan and Guangdong are thousands of miles apart. It is difficult to complete the journey in ten days and a half, and it is even more difficult to communicate news from the two places——

Unless the news is shocking enough to spread like wildfire.

And if Luo Yuantong's whereabouts appeared in such shocking news, then Luo Shuang'er's understanding would naturally detect something bad.

"Miss Luo, I heard that the city of Guangzhou has been turned upside down. Probably around the time we fought to suppress the dragon, anti-king forces from all walks of life gathered in Guangzhou. Among them, Emperor Yongli's general Li Dingguo didn't know what happened. Suddenly

He fought from Yunnan to the outside of Guangzhou, and almost killed Shang Kexi on the spot, achieving the feat of 'three defeats to become the king'."

Although it is difficult to understand, Li Dingguo of Yunnan was able to miraculously pass through Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was blocked by heavy troops, but he inexplicably ran from the ancient temple in Nanhai to the foot of Jizu Mountain. If there is no connection between the two, it would be unreasonable.

Jiang Wen, who had guessed the clues, was still speaking with an attitude of being indifferent and aloof. This mirror mentality was something that he could not get rid of since he was above the boiling sea, even if he said news that shocked the world.

, there was still no unnecessary change in the expression on his face, and he continued to speak calmly.

"Now people from all walks of life are fighting around the city of Guangzhou, and the Qing army is busy encircling and suppressing the Zheng family in Xiamen and is unable to support them. For a time, the world, which has been silent for a long time, feels like it is going against the tide."

The waves against the sky are the most appropriate feeling during these ten months. It is as if throwing a stone from the other side of the bank has broken up a pond of water, and the fragrant bait enters the water and accidentally startles countless dragons. The shadows of the lurking under the water suddenly surge up, and all the paths under the water are

The dragon and snake will also metamorphose, and use the cloud mane and mist to reach the sky, so that the dust and dust caused by Zheng and Zhang's attack on the south of the Yangtze River last year will roar up again!

Luo Shuang'er's eyes flickered a little, and Jiang Wen knew that she was worried about something happening to her father, so she said in a relieved tone.

"Don't worry, Miss Luo, your father is fine now. Shang Kexi must know that he is one of the masterminds behind this time. If he is caught by Shang Kexi, he will definitely be divided into five pieces and spread around. It will never be possible to be so silent.

Rest!"

Jiang Wen was so convincing, but Luo Shuang'er frowned slightly. If the King of Han's green knife hadn't been inserted into Jiang Wen's waist, he might have sealed his throat with a knife.

Jiang Wen sensed a hint of murderous intent and quickly added, "Miss Luo, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to curse your father, it's just that you don't know what happened to Li Xinghe."

Jiang Wen showed a thoughtful look, "It is said that Li Xinghe, the prince's buttocks, was dragged to the Chinese army's tent by Shang Kexi half a month ago and chopped into pieces with thousands of swords. The knife was used to avoid the vital parts. It lasted three days and three months.

Ye, finally beheaded him with a single blow, and brought his head to the flag as a sacrifice."

Jiang Wen still hasn't figured out why Li Xinghe, a charlatan, suffered such a fate. Even if he failed to use the trick and fell into the trap, it seems that he shouldn't have ended up in such a mess, unless he was also involved in this matter.

, it was a shame that Shang Kexi fell into the current situation step by step.
