Assault on the Nightmare Tower

Nightmare Attack Chapter 5

Since then, another three days have passed.

After all, Gu Jingyan is a person who practiced martial arts all the year round, his foundation is very stable, and his body is also strong. It took only three days for him to gradually recover from the serious injury that he wished to linger on the sick bed for half a year.

But Mu Xuechen knew that the poison of the snake pearl hadn't been cured, it was lurking in Gu Jingyan's body, and he didn't know when it would recur.

But now, this time mixed with falsehood and deceit is actually the warmth and tranquility that Mu Xuechen has never felt before. He and Gu Jingyan went to Yangzhou city to buy some clothes and dry food, packed two bags, and hurried on the road.

On the way, Mu Xuechen asked him where he was going, but Gu Jingyan just smiled and said, "Mo Chen, I want to take you to see two wonders in the world that Big Brother likes the most, one is Lingquan and the other is Junshan Mountain."

Mu Xuechen didn't know where the Lingquan was, but judging from the direction the two were walking, it should be not far from Junshan.And Junshan, that is a well-known place, is the territory of the Beggar Clan, and it is a rare fairyland on earth, a paradise in the rumors.

The two bought two fine horses on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and rode the horses galloping all the way, treading flowers with their hooves, having a great time.

Junshan is only a hundred miles away from Yangzhou City, and the two of them galloped on the plain, and they arrived there in just one day.Mu Xuechen got off his horse and saw from a distance in the sea of ​​flowers several beggar gang male disciples boxing and practicing martial arts with their upper body bare. Around them, several beautiful women were picking flowers while watching them practice.The beautiful scenery of the beauties has become a very beautiful picture.

"Mochen, this is Junshan." Gu Jingyan also jumped off his horse lightly. "This is the territory of the Beggar Clan, and also the headquarter of the Beggar Clan. The disciples of the Beggar Clan are unrestrained and simple in nature. This place is not so much a sect, but more like a village with simple folk customs and pleasant scenery. However, the Beggar Clan They are also the most famous sect in the Jianghu, so don't provoke them, otherwise it's no joke that Kanglong Youhui, whom they are proud of, will hit on them."

Mu Xuechen nodded, and said with a smile: "This beggar gang's family style is really unruly. After entering the Junshan area, there is not even a guard. I am not afraid that there will be a surprise attack by evil cultists."

"Who can't think about it like that, but wants to provoke the Beggar Gang." Gu Jingyan said. "What's more, even if the cult surprises the Beggars' Clan, they won't get any benefit except that both sides will suffer. The Beggars' Clan is famous all over the world for its inner strength and mental skills. There is a lack of gold and silver in the door, and there are no treasures."

Mu Xuechen nodded, and said: "The disciples of the Beggar Clan have always been chic and suave, unrestrained, treat money like dung, and only pursue a happy life."

"That's right, such a way of dealing with the world is also extremely rare. If you can really treat money as something outside your body, have no desires or desires, and don't think about taking it, you won't lose it. If you want to live happily, it will be great."

"It's a pity that in today's world, there are very few people who can have such a state of mind."

"That's why I admire the Beggar Gang and Junshan so much." Gu Jingyan said with a bright smile. "Look at Junshan, the mountains are full of wild flowers, and the place where you see it is colorful. There are ten miles of red trees and ten miles of bright flowers. There is no power, fame and fortune like the imperial capital Chang'an, and there is no copper smell in Guangling, a rich county. Can keep that quiet and peaceful, indifferent like a gentleman, clear and distant, gentle and comfortable."

Mu Xuechen smiled lightly, looked at the rare piece of pure land here and said, "It seems that big brother really likes this place."

"Yes." Gu Jingyan said. "If I go back to hiding in the future, I really hope to build a wooden house at the foot of Junshan Mountain, and stay here with my beloved one for a lifetime."

"Retirement... is easy to say, but it is easy to enter the world and it is difficult to exit the world. Even if you want to retire, you can't get rid of the entanglement of grievances and hatred." Mu Xuechen said lightly. "In the future, if elder brother occupies a high position in the martial arts world, it will be even more difficult if he wants to retire safely and become a mortal."

"You're right. I don't know how many of those martial arts seniors have threatened to wash their hands and ignore disputes, but they can't escape the pursuit of others after all... In this martial arts, if you are too involved in the world, unless you die one day Otherwise, it will be very difficult to return to purity one day."

"I think big brother can do it." Mu Xuechen squatted down, fiddling with the clusters of lavender flowers on the ground with his slender fingers. "Brother has such great skills, and he possesses extraordinary martial arts. I think brother will be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and I also hope that brother can fulfill his long-cherished wish."

Gu Jingyan smiled: "I will accept your good words, Mochen."

Mu Xuechen sat on the ground, and said: "Brother said that he wants to be here with the one he loves. I don't know if he has a sweetheart now. Come to think of it, brother is already 22 years old. It's a great youth, but who has he set his sights on?" Is the heroine of the family or the lady of everyone? I heard that there are many Nongli female knights in the Wulin League, but I don’t know which ones are there, but is there one that my brother loves?"

In the sea of ​​flowers, Gu Jingyan was silent for a moment.Afterwards, he sat on the ground next to Mu Xuechen, startled by a burst of fragrance.

Candlelight in the clouds, red dimples burning.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Xuechen jokingly said, "Brother is shy, are you sorry to tell me clearly?"

"How could it be, you are my brother, what can elder brother hide from you." Gu Jingyan smiled lightly. "As for this sweetheart, I haven't had one for the time being. I just feel that a person in the Jianghu like me who licks blood and has countless grievances and grievances can really give a woman happiness? How dangerous and dangerous is this Jianghu? One day I accidentally die and leave my wife alone in the world, then she is too pitiful. Maybe if I don’t own it, I won’t have nostalgia or concern.”

"If you don't get it, you won't lose it?"

"Yes."

"Mo Chen doesn't think so." Mu Xuechen said lightly. "The more painful it is when you lose it, but it also means the happier you are when you have it. If I want to get something, I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever it takes to get it. After I get it, guard it with your heart and cherish it with your heart. If you are afraid of losing everything, then don't You will stop and get nothing."

Gu Jingyan was slightly taken aback, and then patted Mu Xuechen on the shoulder: "Mo Chen's words are good, but it seems like a coward."

"Maybe it's just that Mo Chen was young and frivolous. My eldest brother is older than me and has a heavy responsibility in the martial arts. Naturally, he will be more than I thought."

Gu Jingyan didn't answer, just nodded lightly. Under the setting sun, Mu Xuechen was dressed in white clothes like snow, and sat beside him in a gentle and elegant manner. For the first time, Gu Jingyan felt that he would always look at him casually like this.He always felt that Mu Xuechen combined the beauty of a woman, the elegance of a scholar, and the chicness of a swordsman, and he was really a rare talent.

Happier when you have it, more painful when you lose it.

He will experience this feeling soon.

The gears of fate always start turning when people don't realize it, step by step, when people in the world are not aware of it, it pushes them into eternal despair and pain.

But at this moment, the sky is still high and the clouds are calm, and the years are quiet.

Gu Jingyan and Mu Xuechen just strolled in the sea of ​​flowers in Junshan Mountain, watched a round of sunset, and when the night was gradually rising above the clouds, Mu Xuechen just asked: "Brother, don't we still have to go to that spiritual spring? It's getting dark now."

"Don't worry, Lingquan is not far from here." Gu Jingyan smiled. "Moreover, the peerless beauty there can only be seen late at night."

What Gu Jingyan said was indeed true.

Mu Xuechen never thought that there would be such a place in this world as Lingquan, which becomes more and more beautiful in the dark night.

However, a spring with a radius of one zhang seems to encompass a hundred zhang Milky Way.The spring water in the Lingquan is cold and starry, with a piercing coldness and a bit of ice.In the thick night, this fairy spring glows faintly through the thick night, and the light color is ice blue, which is extremely glamorous.

And within a radius of ten feet around the spring eye, there seems to be melting white snow like a world of ice and snow, with icy flakes overgrown.In the sea of ​​flowers outside Junshan Mountain, this spiritual spring is like a bit of cold winter in warm spring, it looks more and more shocking, but it is inexplicable.

"There is such a fairy land in this world, it seems to violate the law of all things."

"I also passed by here by chance. It is just an ordinary spring during the day, and the spring water is clear and sweet. When it is late at night, this spiritual spring seems to have absorbed the essence of the moonlight night, becoming incomparably fairy. Affected by it." Seeing Mu Xuechen's astonished expression, Gu Jingyan felt a little smug. "What brother said is true, isn't it?"

"Yes." Mu Xuechen raised his head and smiled. "This time traveling, Mo Chen has really learned a lot. In the past, Mo Chen never knew anything about these beautiful places in the world. Brother really has seen a lot, and he deserves to travel all over the world for many years."

"Shenzhou Huaxia has a vast territory and rich resources, and there are many natural miracles that you and I can't imagine." Gu Jingyan said. "I can't understand those real mysteries, I just scratched the surface."

"Brother is humble." Mu Xuechen said with a calm smile. "It's just big brother. Now that Junshan has been seen and Lingquan has been visited, it's getting late now. Where are you and I going to stay?"

"I'll stay here." Gu Jingyan said with a bright smile. "Today the flowers are beautiful and the moon is full, the spring breeze is warm and warm, and we brothers are here to rest in this forest, using the sky as a cover and the ground as our hut, how about it?"

Although Mu Xuechen was a little bit shocked when he heard what he said, he immediately responded, saying: "Okay, I'll listen to Big Brother."

The sky is dark and late, and the moon is in the sky.

Gu Jingyan hastily piled up a soft and comfortable straw mat with rattan grass and banana leaves, and the two fell asleep side by side on it.Gu Jingyan slept soundly and deeply, and just closed his eyes for a moment before he fell into a deep sleep, letting out a low and slow breathing sound.But beside him, Mu Xuechen couldn't close his eyes for a long time, he quietly looked at Gu Jingyan's face, secretly planning in his heart.

Just after half an hour passed like this, Mu Xuechen also began to feel a little sleepy, and when he was about to fall asleep, there were a few crisp birdsongs in the jungle.

That voice was extremely ethereal and soft, and Mu Xuechen couldn't be more familiar with that song. It was a bird raised in the Nightmare Palace and used to convey mission instructions—the nightingale.

Nightingale Palace used nightingales to convey messages, because nightingales had a unique voice and were good at learning tongues.You only need to teach them the tone represented in the palace, and when the nightingale reaches the target, it will sing it by itself, and the people in the palace will naturally know the tone and will follow the tone to find it.

It seems that there is a mission in the palace.

Mu Xuechen turned his body slightly, making sure that Gu Jingyan was in a deep sleep at the moment, so he got up quietly.In the jungle, there are dense flowers and trees, and the moon is dark and the wind is high at this moment. It is hard to find a bird as small as a nightingale.Mu Xuechen searched for the sound for a long time, only then did he find the little bird with glowing red body.

A small bamboo tube was tied to the bird's slender leg. Mu Xuechen took off the bamboo tube and took out the letter from the bamboo tube. Then, he tied the bamboo tube to the bird's leg and threw the bird into the air .

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Mu Xuechen unfolded the letter paper.A line of small characters was written on the letter paper with deep red cinnabar.

"On the night of March [-], the oiran of Danhe River in Yangzhou drew a boat and took the life of Lord Xinyang."

The author has something to say:
