Although the scenery in the mountain looked close, it was actually very far away. The mountain road was rugged. Xing and his two men drove to the smoke place for nearly an hour. The smoke was gone but they hadn't arrived yet. Along the way, they met two groups of Tangmen people. They also rushed towards the smoke. These two people didn't talk nonsense and killed all the people from the Tang Sect.

Without Tang Ying and Tang Qiong, Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang are considered invincible in this mountain. How could this ordinary disciple of the Tang Sect be able to defeat the successor of the Shangqing Sect's secret skill and the third leader of the Donghai Gang?

Tang Ying and Tang Qiong also miscalculated. They realized that Liu Qingyuan had been seriously injured, and a steward leading dozens of disciples could kill him. They never expected that Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang would come out. These two If there was anyone here in the Tang Dynasty, it would be Tianhang, and Xing Zongliang would have to stay away.

Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang put their swords into their scabbards. After a short rest, they were about to continue on their way, but they heard a noise in the forest. They were about to draw their weapons and be on guard when they heard the voice of a middle-aged man: "Don't be nervous, I'm here. There is no ill intention, just show up and speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw a few hunters jumping down from the tree not far away, and they had already arrived in front of them. The leader was seven feet tall, slightly thin but strong, with a beard, and he was about thirty-five years old. At the age of six, he stepped forward and said, "The two knights killed more than twenty Tang Sect disciples along the way. Do you dare to ask if they have any grudge against the Tang Sect?"

As soon as Xing Zongliang heard this, he knew there was a mystery inside, and replied directly: "Xing Zongliang, I have never had any enmity with the Tang Sect. Now, just to save one person, I have forged an indissoluble hatred with the Tang Sect." After saying this, he looked at it. Xiang Yitianhang.

Yi Tianhang thought that these hunters were following them all the way in hiding but did not make any move against them. The sudden appearance at this moment must have news about Liu Qingyuan, so he said clearly: "I am Yi Tianhang, who once seriously injured Tang Guanjie, Tang Sanyi , I also came here to save one person this time.”

After saying this, the middle-aged Orion leader was still not convinced, so he sent people to check whether the Tang Clan man was real and fake. After confirmation, he said: "Who are you two here? And why are you looking for him?" "

Yi Tianhang secretly thought that this man was too cautious, and said: "The two of us are looking for Liu Daxia of the Juedao Sect. The reason is, firstly, Liu Daxia has been kind to me, and secondly, we don't want the Tang Sect to dominate and harm the martial arts. "

Hearing this, the middle-aged Orion clasped his fists and said: "I am Peng Huan, an Orion in the mountains, and the others are all my brothers. If these two knights can trust me, please hand over your weapons and follow me. If you don't believe me, I will treat you as a slave today." Never seen it before.”

Yi Tianhang looked at Xing Zongliang to ask Xing Zongliang to make up his mind.

Xing Zongliang thought about it for a while, then handed over the Yanling knife from his waist, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Peng, please lead the way!"

Seeing this, Yi Tianhang had no choice but to hand over his weapons.

Also, Xing and his two men followed these hunters through the mountains and forests, but they were unable to keep up with their foot strength. The physical strength and lightness of these hunters were no worse than those of the Jianghu people. Peng Huan was the best, and he would be a little slower waiting for them after a long journey. .

Everyone turned around and around in the mountains until they reached Tianhang. Xing Zongliang was dizzy. When he climbed over another mountain, he saw a village on the mountainside at the foot. The village was surrounded by mountain cliffs to the north and cliffs to the south, blocking the east-west path. , there are stone walls and horses built on the outside, and there are even several arrow towers, which means that one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can't open it.

"You two are going up the mountain from the north foot of Tangting Mountain. If you go up the mountain from the east foot, you don't have to take these detours. The village in front is called Fengshibao, and the people you are looking for are there." Peng Huan raised his hands. With their arms akimbo, looking at Yi who was a little tired, Xing and Xing said.

Yi Tianhang, Xing Zongliang followed Peng Huan and others down the mountain along the path, heading towards the Fengshi Castle. The distance was getting closer and closer, and the scene in the village became clearer and clearer. At a glance, they could see everything in the castle.

All you can see are stone houses and wooden shacks. Although they are a little crude, the layout is well-proportioned and not cluttered. Judging from the size, there should be more than a hundred households. The sounds of children playing, dogs barking, chickens croaking, and cows and horses neighing can be faintly heard. This is a long-lost place.

The fireworks in the mountain village are really refreshing.

Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang followed Orion Peng Huan into the fort and walked around until they came to a wooden house in the center of the fort.

Peng Huan clasped his fists and said, "You two, wait here until I go to report." After that, he entered the house.

Not long after, Yi Tianhang was called in, leaving only Xing Zongliang hesitating outside the house.

As soon as Yi Tianhang entered the room, he saw Liu Qingyuan lying on the wooden bed. His upper body was covered with linen, with faint traces of blood seeping out. His face was dark red and he was clearly poisoned, and he was staring here.

The light in the room was dim, and when Yi Tianhang approached, Liu Qingyuan saw that it was indeed the chivalrous young man in the tomb, so he gave Peng Huan a few words, took Peng Huan out, and then said: "You are well, Young Master Yi."

Ah, that day when the young hero jumped, I thought I would never see you again. But I have never forgotten the kindness of the young hero, but I was seriously injured and could not get up to express my gratitude."

When Yi Tianhang heard this, he knew that Ran Yunhan had told Liu Qingyuan everything about the tomb, so he refused to comment and replied: "Senior, you don't have to be like this. The road is rough. It takes just a little effort. I came all the way to find something."

Help senior to return to Juedaomen."

"Oh? Young hero, you are interested. I am at the end of my rope. Fortunately, Chief Peng rescued me and escaped from the Tang Sect. I am afraid that I will not be able to survive for much longer. I just don't know what the situation is outside.

"Have our Juedao Sect ever gone to war with the Tang Clan? Are those boys like Yun Han safe and sound?" Although Liu Qingyuan was seriously injured, he still thought of the Juedao Sect in his words.

Yi Tianhang took a step forward and replied: "Master Ran Shao is fine, and the other juniors don't know, so they are probably in danger. The two factions haven't started a war yet, but..."

Yi Tianhang spoke with a deliberately embarrassed look. He didn't know if Liu Qingyuan could bear the following words in his current state.

Upon seeing this, Liu Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "Young hero, it's okay to just say it."

"Senior, Tang Sect persecuted Juedao Sect on the grounds that you destroyed the bodies of his disciples for no reason and massacred his disciples outside Dianjiang City. Fortunately, senior Shangguan from Qingcheng sent you to mediate, and the two factions have not yet faced each other with swords."

"That's okay, but why did Tang Wanxiong calm down? So many people in his Tang clan died, and he just tolerated it like this?" Liu Qingyuan was puzzled.

Yi Tianhang did not answer Liu Qingyuan's question and continued: "There is one thing I would like to know, senior. The Juedao Sect can no longer send anyone to help. You are the only one facing the Tang Sect's pursuit. This is also the Tang Sect.

The Juedao Sect and the Qingcheng Faction have reached an agreement, otherwise, the Tang Sect will launch a full-scale war against the Juedao Sect and completely disrupt the southwestern martial arts world."

"I see, this must be Tang Wanxiong's condition, and thanks to Brother Shangguan." Liu Qingyuan thought thoughtfully.

"Also, once you return to Juedao Sect, all the previous matters will be wiped out, and the Tang Sect will no longer pursue you." Yi Tianhang continued.

After Yi Tianhang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Qingyuan. He really wanted to see whether the reaction of a generation of heroes after being abandoned by the sect was no different from ordinary people. Angry? Frustrated? Disappointed? Frustrated? Or heroic!

As expected by Yi Tianhang, Liu Qingyuan laughed excitedly after hearing this and said, "That's good. It's no wonder that Brother Shangguan understands my heart and can persuade my sworn brother. So,

No matter how good the method is, Tang Wanxiong will probably suffer a loss."

Liu Qingyuan changed the topic and asked again: "It's rare that my little brother is not afraid of life and death for an old man like me. I just don't know how you survived?"

When Yi Tianhang saw Liu Qingyuan's question, he answered truthfully: "When I jumped off the cliff, I grabbed the vines on the cliff. Later, because the Tang Sect reopened the tomb, I was able to survive. I won't mention what happened in between.

"

Liu Qingyuan nodded with difficulty, and then said: "Well, as long as nothing happens, the person traveling with you is really Xing Zongliang from the Donghai Gang? What is the purpose of this person coming to find me? I have no good friendship with this person.

."

Yi Tianhang had long expected that Liu Qingyuan would ask this question, so he replied: "After I escaped from Shuyang Mountain, I went to Jiangzhou and happened to meet Mr.

I'm sorry to you, senior."

"Then how did Xing Zongliang know my whereabouts?" Liu Qingyuan asked.

"Mr.

Judging from the time that this junior has spent with him, although this man has some rough and treacherous habits, he is still a real man, senior, you can rest assured." Yi Tianhang replied.

"He, the third leader of a big gang, wants to offend the Tang clan for me?" Liu Qingyuan looked suspicious.

"Headmaster Xing has left the Donghai Gang due to the Sanjue Sect incident and is now alone in Shu. He also wants to take this opportunity to join the noble sect." Yi Tianhang replied truthfully.

Liu Qingyuan thought for a moment after hearing this, and said after a moment: "In this case, let him come in and talk for a while, and we can't neglect the visitor."

Xing Zongliang went into the house to meet Liu Qingyuan. The two of them were not polite and went straight to the point. The two people actually seemed to hate meeting each other so late, and they chatted very enthusiastically. Yi Tianhang stood aside like an outsider.

The three of them chatted for a long time. Because Liu Qingyuan was tired, Xing Zongliang and Yi Tianhang withdrew, took their weapons, and Peng Huan led them to drink and eat. They drank and talked happily.

The two of them, Xing and Xing, had just learned about the origin of the Wind Stone Castle and the relationship between these hunters and Liu Qingyuan.

Fengshi Fort was originally a military stronghold more than 40 years ago. It was garrisoned by a group of troops from the Weixi Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed overnight. All the Weixi Army went north to King Qin, and the place was occupied by rogue bandits. The land of Shu was taken over by the Southern Qi Dynasty.

Later, the defense of this place was taken care of by the Southern Qi Army Protecting Shu. After exterminating the rogue bandits, the Army Protecting Shu abandoned Fengshi Fort and stationed at the foot of the mountain.

Later, some retired disabled veterans had nowhere to go, so they came here to settle. Some hunters from Jiangyang often stayed in Fengshi Castle because there were troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. Over time, many people simply lived in Fengshi Castle.

, gradually formed today’s village.

This Fengshi Castle stands on the mountainside, overlooking the mountain for more than ten miles. The east and west are mountainous woodlands. The mountain road to the west is the road down the mountain, and the mountain road to the east is the mountain road leading to Jiangyang. It is indeed a good place to garrison troops, but I don’t know about the Southern Qi Dynasty.

Why did the army protecting Shu abandon it and not use it?

Let’s talk about the relationship between Liu Qingyuan and Fengshi Castle.

Twenty years ago, Liu Qingyuan and Ran Xingzhou were only in their early thirties. At that time, they were ordered by their master to lead their best men to the southern border to support Qin Zhanxiong, who was just a captain at the time, and assisted him.

Kill the masters in the barbarian formation.

Because of the constant barbarian intrusions at that time, Qin Zhanxiong had a headache, so he temporarily requisitioned the Fengshibao Orions, intending to use them as bait to pretend to be a grain team, and to draw out the main force of the barbarian army, hoping to complete his victory in one battle.

Liu Qingyuan and Ran Xingzhou couldn't bear that the hunters would lose their lives in vain, so they sent these hunters to Juemen Dao to obey their orders. Juedaomen was responsible for luring the enemy. Later, they also took care of them in the battle formation and saved many hunters.

Peng Huan was one of the hunters back then, and he was just a boy at that time.

For the people of Fengshi Castle, Juedaomen is their reborn parent. Although Fengshi Castle and Juedaomen have had less contact in recent years, Liu Qingyuan was seriously injured, and Fengshi Castle still tried its best to maintain it.

Yi Tianhang and the other hunters exchanged glasses with Peng Huan. Xing Zongliang was slightly drunk and said, "Brother Peng, I'm very curious about something. I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Oh? Mr. Xing says what he says. We, the rough men in the mountains, are not so particular." Peng Huan was extremely forthright.

"I followed Brother Peng and several brothers over the mountains and ridges on the next trip, but I found that my foot strength, a serious martial arts practitioner, is not as strong as that of the brothers in the fort." Xing Zongliang said.

"Mr.

Xing Zongliang became interested when he heard this and said, "What's the difference? Could Brother Peng please elaborate on it?"

Peng Huan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said: "Well, the cause of this is the battle twenty years ago. The brutality of the battle at that time made us terrified. Since then, we have experienced the bloody and bloody battle between the two armies.

It’s so cruel that when the surviving people come back, they are determined to have the means to protect themselves.”

As he spoke, Peng Huan filled another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and continued: "So a dozen young people led by me began to practice archery skills. They were not only satisfied with shooting animals and birds, but also used branches and streamers to shoot arrows.

Copper coins and fallen leaves were used as targets for practice, and then he used basic training methods such as internal strength, light strength, and physical exercise that were popular in the world, and motivated all the strong men in the fort to practice diligently. It took him twenty years to achieve today's achievements.

"

"This is so, I admire you." Xing Zongliang said, cupping his fists.
