Chapter 14 Asking for Directions in Xiangyang

After all, Song Qingshu only has the Murong family in Gusu, the Sword Demon Valley, and the Tantric "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" with a good chance.

But Murong's family in Gusu is far away in Taihu Lake, and he has no idea about the water system of Taihu Lake. Trying to find an island that has been abandoned for hundreds of years in the vast Taihu Lake is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. As for "Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique", although it is in

Tantra can be learned at any age, but it has to go to the Western Regions. His current martial arts is not suitable for traveling far away. In comparison, only Sword Demon Valley is closest to Wudang Mountain. It is also the greatest help to him, and for him

It can be said that the first to get the moon is those who are near the water. There is a part of the unparalleled magical power not far away, so there is no reason to sacrifice the near for the far. Moreover, the inheritance of the Sword Demon Valley is both simple and safe. But is this really the case?

?Song Qingshu doesn’t know. He only has the idea in his mind that after obtaining snake gallbladder, his skill will be greatly enhanced.

Wudang Mountain is located in Danjiangkou, Shiyan City, in the northwest of Hubei Province, and belongs to the eastern section of Daba Mountain. It is also known as Taihe Mountain, Xieluo Mountain, Shenshang Mountain and Xianshi Mountain. In ancient times, it was known as "Taiyue", "Xuanyue" and "Dayue".

It is bounded by Duhe River to the west, Nanhe River to the east, Hanjiang River to the north, Jundian River and Manan River to the south, the vast Shennongjia primeval forest to the south, the Danjiangkou Reservoir to the north, and Xiangyang is just east of Wudang Mountain.

Song Qingshu left a letter in his room, saying that he had discovered the traces of the man in black who had kidnapped Zhang Wuji and had traced them out. In fact, this was just an excuse, just to make his departure from Wudang Mountain less abrupt. As for this

Whether others believe the excuse or not is beyond Song Qingshu's consideration.

Then with enough silver and a fine steel sword, Song Qingshu started his first journey in the world.

.......

Xiangyang City is located on the south bank of the Han River, across the river from Fan City on the north bank. It is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. It is not only the center of regional politics, economy, and culture in the past dynasties, but also a famous military town in ancient and modern times. Because of its strong city wall and high city height

The pool is deep, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is known as "Iron-Strike Xiangyang". In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the hero Guo Jing relied on Xiangyang City to resist the Mongolian army for decades, but the Mongolian army could not advance at all.

From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the twelfth year of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, for about 2000 years, Xiangyang has been an important battlefield where heroes competed, and the smoke of war continued to fill the sky above it.

"Do you know what happened when the heroes went to Wudang this time?"

"Who doesn't know this? Aren't they going to interrogate Xie Xun and the whereabouts of the Dragon Sword?"

"Yes, I heard that he is still the leader of the Shaolin Temple."

"It's a pity that they all failed."

"What? Returning in vain? How is it possible? How could Shaolin Temple be dismissed so easily?"

"Hey, you don't know this right now. I heard that the secrets of Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword have been made public. It's not worthwhile to take the risk of offending Wudang."

"The secrets of Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword have been revealed? How is that possible?"

...

In the downstairs pavilion of an inn in the south of Xiangyang City, there were several tables of people from the world, drinking and eating, while discussing the situation in the world. It was as if they were discussing heroes over wine.

At a table by the window, a young man poured a glass of sake from a pot and took a sip with great interest. Then, he frowned slightly. It was obvious that the young man was not very satisfied with the taste of the sake in the glass.

"Haha, I didn't expect that what happened in Wudang would spread in the world so quickly." Song Qingshu thought while drinking a small drink, "But all of this has nothing to do with me now. The top priority now is to find the hidden place.

The Sword Demon Valley deep in the mountains."

Looking at the rolling water of the Han River outside the window, Song Qingshu pondered, "I didn't expect that even the Sword Demon Valley, which is the easiest to get, is full of difficulties. It seems that I thought all the problems were too simple. I thought it would be like the Sword Demon Valley."

It’s easy to be discovered, and I’m afraid it’s already famous in the world. But who should I ask for information?”

"Sir, the dish you requested is here, please use it slowly." At this moment, a voice interrupted Song Qingshu's thinking.

"Huh? That's not right." The wine glass in Song Qingshu's hand stopped in the air. He looked at the waiter in front of him, "Isn't this an ideal person?"

It is really like "there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers".

Song Qingshu may not be able to tell who has the best information, but in the inn, where he encounters countless people from all walks of life, maybe he will know.

"Wait a minute." Song Qingshu quickly stopped the waiter who was about to leave, "Brother, hurry up, I have something to ask you."

"Oh, sir, just ask me if you have anything, I will tell you everything I know," the waiter said with a flattering smile on his face.

"Haha, I just want to ask the younger brother if he knows where there is a poisonous snake with a faint golden light all over its body near Xiangyang City." Song Qingshu said lightly.

"A poisonous snake with a faint golden light all over its body?" The waiter pretended to be thoughtful, scratching his ears and cheeks, but his eyes were fixed on Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and couldn't help but laugh. It seems that tipping is not just a modern thing. Song Qingshu shook his head, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, stuffed it into his pocket, and said, "That's enough."

Already?"

"That's enough, that's enough." The waiter measured it with the pad of his hand, and then his face was full of smiles. His eyes were almost lost. The waiter carefully put the money into his pocket and said, "The guest officer asked

I asked the right question."

"Oh." Song Qingshu glanced at the waiter, unable to comment.

"Your Majesty, don't believe me." Seeing that Song Qingshu didn't believe it, the waiter became anxious and said, "My family lives on the outskirts of Xiangyang City. My grandfather and father both made a living by hunting. My grandfather told me about the golden light that appeared all over the body.

Poisonous snakes, but these venomous snakes are very poisonous and I dare not eat them, so grandpa stopped hunting them later."

"Oh, it seems you really know." Song Qingshu looked dispensable on the surface, but he was extremely happy in his heart. As the saying goes, 'it takes no effort to get there even if you break through iron shoes.' When I think about it,

That's it.

"Okay, as long as you lead the way and find it, this will be yours." Song Qingshu said and took out another piece of broken silver from his arms.

"Okay, okay, sir, don't worry." The waiter nodded and bowed with a smile.

It's true that 'money can make the world go round'. Fortunately, when Song Qingshu left Wudang Mountain, just in case, he brought enough money with him. After all, 'people are in the world and can't help themselves'. Otherwise, without money, he would miss the horse again.
