After blowing the whistle, Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at the leader who fell aside, "How many days has he been gone?"
The leader didn't dare not answer, "It must have been three or four days."
Nanfeng didn't ask any more questions, and stepped on the ground to use his strength to lift his energy.
Seeing that Nanfeng was about to leave, a group of Dali Temple officers and soldiers shouted from below, "Hurry and catch him, don't let the bandit escape!"
The south wind wanted to sweep westward to meet up with the Eighth Master, but when he heard the noise, he felt upset and stopped hastily, concentrating his energy and falling.
Since the attack started near Dali Temple, the officers and soldiers did not dare to step forward to stop them. They wanted to pretend to save some face afterwards, but they never thought that Nanfeng would not even spare them the last bit of face and actually came down.
Face is more important than life. Seeing the whereabouts of Nanfeng, a group of officials fled back to Dali Temple in embarrassment. There was ridicule from all over the streets.
The south wind would never enter Dali Temple, scare away the noisy officers and soldiers, jump up again, and head westward quickly over the city.
Not far away, Master Ba arrived, swooped down to catch the south wind, and climbed up.
The south wind pointed to the northwest, and Master Ba understood it, reached high in the sky, and flapped his wings to the northwest.
"Faster." Nanfeng urged.
Master Ba could still understand this simple language. Hearing the words, he climbed upwards again and flew northwest by the high-altitude air currents.
The reason why he was so anxious was that he remembered where Juetian Ridge was. On that day, Wang Zhong and his wife were killed by a self-exploding mine in the southwest wilderness. Zhuge Chanjuan took the ashes north for burial, and later told him that she was at Juetian Ridge during that time. Observing filial piety, it can be seen that Juetian Ridge is most likely the residence of Wang Zhong and his wife during their lifetime.
Lin Lanping went there not to pay homage to Wang Zhong. Before he fell out with Zhuge Chanjuan, the two of them had walked together for many days. In addition to the incident in Qilin Town, his relationship with Zhuge Chanjuan was no longer a secret, but outsiders did not know about them. Having already fallen out, Lin Lanping went to Juetian Ridge, probably hoping to capture Zhuge Chanjuan and force him to reveal the Turtle Shell Book of Heaven.
Zhuge Chanjuan was not a match for Lin Lanping because she was not as good as Dong Xuan, so she had to rush to rescue her as soon as possible.
Not long ago, he met Zhuge Chanjuan at the foot of Fengming Mountain. Zhuge Chanjuan followed Yuan Anning there. After seeing him and Yuan Anning go down the mountain, she drove the carriage alone and left without going over to talk to him. Zhuge Chanjuan had misunderstood him before, and when she saw the two of them walking down the mountain together, the misunderstanding would probably become more serious.
Whether Zhuge Chanjuan misunderstood him is not important at this time. What is important is the time when Zhuge Chanjuan drove away. After Zhuge Chanjuan left, he stayed outside Fengming Mountain for a while, then went to the Orc Valley, and then left from the Orc Valley. Gu went to Jiaozhou, where he was delayed for a few days, and then took Tianqizi to the north, where he was delayed for a few more days before settling in Tianqizi.
A quick calculation showed that Zhuge Chanjuan had left Fengming Mountain for at least seven or eight days. If she had not been delayed on the way, Zhuge Chanjuan should have returned to Juetian Ridge by now. If Lin Lanping and others rushed there, they might have blocked her there.
Even though he was anxious, he never lost his cool. There were two important things to do at the moment. The first was to confirm the leader's words. There was no way to directly confirm, so he could only indirectly confirm that Lin Lanping was from the Liang Kingdom and was going to the Western Wei Dynasty. , he probably won't go alone, and will most likely bring helpers. Naturally, he won't bring those wine bags and rice bags. Even if he forms a gang, he will also find those purple energy masters who have survived the catastrophe.
Among the Liang Guo warriors who were involved in besieging him that day, there were several warriors who lived in the mountains and cultivated themselves. Lin Lanping was most likely to go with them.
One of the masters who lives in the mountain is named Shen Chuanhu, and he is the master of the Flying Eagle Gate. The Flying Eagle Gate is three hundred miles away to the north. You can drop by there for a visit.
The second important thing is that he only knows the general direction, not the specific location of Juetian Ridge, so he has to find someone to find out.
Not long after, we reached the sky above Feiyingmen. At this time, many Jianghu sects were bandits who dominated the mountains. This Feiyingmen was one of them. It was located halfway up a mountain with dangerous terrain.
He jumped down, kicked down the door, chopped down several of them, grabbed the leader and asked about Shen Chuanhu's whereabouts. The man was so cruel that he didn't say anything. He used all his fingers to break his arm, and then he said that he and Lin Lanping were the same three days ago. He left the mountain and has not returned yet. His whereabouts are unknown.
Asked again who the "waiting people" were, the man replied that there were three men and women, and he only recognized the gang leader Gao, but not the other two.
Among the mountain masters who besieged him that day, there was indeed a man named Gao. When asked about the appearance of the other two, that man said that Nan Feng frowned slightly after hearing this. One of them was the purple energy master who besieged him that day, but He didn't recognize the young woman carrying the medicine box.
A total of six Purple Qi masters joined forces to attack him that day. Mozi was killed by him that day. The donkey-faced old man who used the sleeve arrows was not dead. He should be in bed recovering from his injuries at this time. Was the other Purple Qi Taoist from Qingyang Guan involved? This matter is unknown. There are currently three known masters of purple energy. With Zhuge Chanjuan's level of cultivation, even one of them, let alone three, can't handle it.
In addition, since the young woman was carrying a medicine box, she was undoubtedly a person who was proficient in medical skills. Lin Lanping and others naturally knew that Zhuge Chanjuan was a disciple of Wang Zhong and was good at using poisons. They were worried about poisoning and even brought the doctor who detoxified her.
The leader had broken his arm and was howling in pain. Nanfeng was annoyed by his screams. After asking everyone about riding away, he lifted up his spirits and continued northward with Ba Ye.
At the end of the afternoon, we flew across the river and arrived at the boundary of the Western Wei Dynasty. On the way north, Nanfeng began to think about who to find out the specific location of Juetian Ridge.
Although this matter is difficult, it is not traceable. Wang Zhong was very close to Li Chaozong when he was still alive. He once went to the Eastern Wei Dynasty with Li Chaozong and others to challenge the Shangqing sect. On that day, dozens of Western Wei Dynasty officials fought in Qilin Town. People from the Jianghu were present, and these people should know where Wang Zhong lived.
He had the impression that one of the tall, thin men with a ruler was the owner of Qingniu Mountain. He knew where Qingniu Mountain was, so he went there.
Qingniu Mountain is located in the southeast of Helin Town, which is not convenient, but there is no choice but to delay for a while.
When they arrived at Qingniu Mountain, they found the mountain owner who was like a stick. This person was a mountain dweller and had the ability to fight back. However, when Nanfeng broke through the door, this person was playing with his concubine. He was caught off guard and was killed. Nanfeng punched the back of the head, sealed the acupuncture points, and carried him away.
After flying two hundred miles and arriving deep in the mountains, Nan Fengxiao pressed him and found out that this person indeed knew the location of Juetian Ridge.
Fearing that this person would leak the secret and lure Li Chaozong and others away, Nanfeng never let him go. The spiritual energy spread out and invaded the Dantian, destroying his meridians and destroying his cultivation.
It would take at least three to five days for a person with no cultivation skills to walk out of this hundred-mile mountainous area, not to mention that this person was naked and barefoot.
After asking for the path, he hurried there. Juetian Ridge is located in the northwest of the Western Wei Dynasty, in the Jilan Mountains of Yongzhou.
There are strong easterly winds in spring, which is a tailwind. Estimating the distance, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach Juetian Ridge before sunset.
Lin Lanping and others took a doctor who could detoxify and rode north. In three days, including four days today, they arrived at Juetian Ridge. They should have just arrived, so they should be in time.
He once warned everyone that if they dared to attack his relatives and friends, he would retaliate and hurt the other party's wife, children, and children. However, this warning was given to the troops of the two Wei Dynasties in the Northeast. He did not mention this section outside Fengming Mountain. He only said that whoever dared to attack him would be chased to his lair to take revenge.
The lack of warning should be the reason why Lin Lanping and others dared to attack Zhuge Chanjuan. However, there is another possibility, that is, Lin Lanping and others thought that they had already formed a deadly feud with him. Even if they did not attack Zhuge Chanjuan, he would also He would come to seek revenge, so he would just stop doing anything and try to rob Zhuge Chanjuan before he came looking for him. This way he could not only protect himself, but also hope to obtain the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng felt slightly relieved. The other party's purpose was to arrest people, not to kill people. Even if Zhuge Chanjuan was defeated and captured, her life would not be in danger.
In addition to being anxious and uneasy, Nanfeng was still a little entangled in his heart. If it weren't for Zhuge Chanjuan's cynicism that day, Yuan Anning would not have cut off his right hand. Even if there were extenuating circumstances, it was not a major fault, there must be small mistakes, but Zhuge Chanjuan never refused. Be willing to admit your mistakes.
If he came to protect him this time, wouldn't it be like bowing his head and admitting defeat
It's true that he doesn't hate Yuan Anning, but just because he doesn't hate Yuan Anning, it doesn't mean that things that were originally frank will become less frank. This is unfair. Besides, Yuan Anning was dipped into the bone-melting water to help him get the most important piece of tortoise shell, so he had the obligation to save him both emotionally and logically.
Zhuge Chanjuan was the hostess, but she never did what a hostess should do. She allowed him to ask nicely but refused to listen. She was trying to push Yuan Anning away. She was wrong in the first place and she still didn't reflect on it.
No, I can't admit my mistake. I was right in the first place, so why should I bear the blame
You have to think of a way to save people without giving in.
Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Forget it, let's go to the field and see the situation.
Just after Shenshi, we arrived at the boundary of Yongzhou, and at three o'clock in Youshi, we arrived at the eastern foot of Jilan Mountain.
Arriving here, Nanfeng instructed Ba Ye to fly low against the treetops.
There is a narrow path in the mountains. Ba Ye shuttles through the valley and follows the path to look for it.
After half a stick of incense, a steep peak appeared in the distance. The peak was not an isolated peak, but a steep ridge running from east to west. It should be more than ten miles from east to west. It is low and gentle on the left and right, and high in the middle. There is a flat area at the top with several houses.
At this time, two people were fighting around the house. Due to the distance, it was difficult to see clearly.
Seeing that the enemy had already taken action, Nanfeng didn't think much and instructed Ba Ye to fly straight there.
When they got close, Nanfeng saw clearly what was going on. Three people fell on the grass on the west side of the house. One of them was wearing a blue robe. Needless to say, it was Lin Lanping.
The three of them, including Lin Lanping, seemed to have been poisoned. They were foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
Zhuge Chanjuan was fighting with a woman in yellow clothes. Different from the ordinary martial arts fighting, the two of them did not aim to defeat each other. They frequently threw out various powders while moving around. The powders were colorful. No need to ask, they were all poison.
There was no obstruction in the sky, and both of them spotted him and Master Ba, and turned to look south at the same time.
Seeing that Lin Lanping and others had been poisoned by Zhuge Chanjuan, Nanfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had known that Zhuge Chanjuan could handle it on his own, he shouldn't have come.
Zhuge Chanjuan glanced sideways at him, then averted her gaze and attacked.
The woman in yellow looked at him longer than Zhuge Chanjuan. When she looked away, a cloud of red powder had already come to her face. When she flicked her sleeves to brush away the powder, Zhuge Chanjuan's right foot had reached her chest. Unable to dodge, he retreated and fell.
Zhuge Chanjuan succeeded with one blow, held a short sword in her hand, and stepped forward to slash.
"Don't hurt her!" Nanfeng shouted urgently.
When Zhuge Chanjuan heard the sound and turned around, the short knife in her hand had been smashed away by the sesame cake...
