step on mountains and rivers

After Tang Qingfeng received Jiang Ling's letter, he and Li Zhenwu rushed to the horse and traveled day and night. After more than a month, they finally arrived at Drinking Water Town.Tang Qingfeng looked at the small town in front of him and said softly to Li Zhenwu;

"It's finally here, Zhenwu, let's go in."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.Follow Tang Qingfeng into the town.

In the town, Wu Xing'er had been waiting there with Liu Ruxue early on. Seeing Tang Qingfeng walking in with a very handsome man, he quickly shouted:

"Little cousin! I'm here."

Tang Qingfeng heard Wu Xing'er's shout from a distance, and with a slightly displeased face, he led Li Zhenwu over quickly.Walking closer, Tang Qingfeng said to Wu Xing'er in a cold tone:

"You can just call me by my name."

"Hey, I like to be called little cousin." Wu Xing'er looked at Tang Qingfeng and said with a smile.

Tang Qingfeng gave her a blank look, did not continue to entangle with her, and then asked:

"How is the person?"

"Don't worry, you still don't know my methods?" Wu Xing'er said.

"Just because I know it, I'm worried." Tang Qingfeng replied mockingly.

"Tsk tsk, little cousin, I haven't seen you for many years, and my eloquence has improved." Wu Xing'er said, recalling the time when he bullied Tang Qingfeng before.Tang Qingfeng was too young at that time to beat her or scold her. It was really fun to hold back his grievance.Unexpectedly, after only a few years, it turned out like this, and dared to talk back to my cousin, tsk tsk tsk.

She looked at Tang Qingfeng up and down with a smile, Tang Qingfeng cast her a displeased glance, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified.Seeing that the situation was wrong, Liu Ruxue pushed Wu Xing'er, looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Mr. Tang, Lu Qing is fine. He is recuperating in the village. Jiang Ling will take care of him over there."

"Okay, thank you Miss Liu." Tang Qingfeng said.

"You're welcome." Liu Ruxue replied.

Wu Xing'er ignored the conversation between the two, looked at Li Zhenwu and asked:

"Who is this?"

"The poor Wudao is Li Zhenwu, the girl is polite." Li Zhenwu said.

"Oh, hello Daoist Li, I'm Tang Qingfeng's cousin, Wu Xing'er from the Wuxian clan." Wu Xing'er said.

"Miss Wu is polite." Li Zhenwu saluted.

"Li Daochang is polite." Wu Xing'er returned the salute, then looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"I came here this time not only to pick you up, but also to pick up some goods. Since you are here, then you can help me get them." He pointed to the goods next to him, and then pulled Liu Ruxue road:

"Ru Xue, let's go." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to urge Tang Qingfeng: "Hurry up and follow."

Tang Qingfeng carried the goods on the ground with a face of reluctance, and Li Zhenwu followed.

Several people entered from the path, passed through the ancient foggy forest, and walked across the long suspension bridge in the mountains, and finally came to the village of Wuxian tribe.

The Wuxian tribe is located among three isolated mountains, and seven long iron chain bridges connect the village and the way out.In the village, the stilted buildings of the Miao style stand scattered high and low in the mountains and forests. Chain bridges of different sizes criss-cross and intertwine among the delicate stilted buildings, connecting each independent stilted building to form a walking area for Wuxian people. The roads converge in the distance and are connected on a huge iron chain bridge. At the end of the bridge, there is a huge square. Behind the square is a magnificent tower. On the top of the tower, a phoenix woven with ivy is lifelike, spreading its wings fly.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Li Zhenwu was slightly shocked, and couldn't help feeling admiration for the Wuxian tribe.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the scenery, and sighed softly: "Such a magnificent building can be built in such a lofty mountain. The people of the Wuxian clan are really amazing."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied, and then asked in doubt: "Hasn't Brother Tang been here?"

"No, just like Zhenwu, it's my first time here." Tang Qingfeng looked at Zhenwu with a smile and explained:

"I am a child of the collateral line of the Tang family. Both my parents died when I was young. The head of the door and his wife adopted me. They treated me very well, and I am very grateful." Tang Qingfeng paused, and then said: "Mrs. My current mother is a member of the Wuxian clan, so our Tang family is somewhat related to the Wuxian clan, and they often come to Tangmen as guests. As for the Wuxian clan village, I only heard my mother mention it occasionally, but never visited. "

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.

After the two finished speaking, they followed Wu Xing'er and entered the village.

After entering the village, Tang Qingfeng handed over the basket to Wu Xing'er, and then, under the leadership of Liu Ruxue, he and Li Zhenwu walked towards the stilted building where Jiangling was located.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Jiang Ling who was talking to Lu Qing. Jiang Ling looked very happy at the visitor, and said quickly:

"Old Tang, you are here."

"Old Jiang." Tang Qingfeng looked at Lu Qing after returning and said, "How are you?"

"Much better, thank you for your concern." Lu Qing replied.

"That's good." Tang Qingfeng nodded.Then he looked at Jiang Ling and said:

"Where is the picture?"

Jiang Ling reached into his shirt, took out the picture, and handed it to him.Tang Qingfeng took the picture of Shenbing and opened it. Looking at the strange text, he asked in bewilderment:

"what is this?"

Jiang Ling shook his head, looked at Lu Qing, Lu Qing glanced at them, and said softly:

"This is the Mohist ciphertext. If you want to unlock it, you need to find the corresponding ciphertext map."

"Ciphertext diagram? Do you know where the diagram is?" Tang Qingfeng looked at Lu Qing and asked.

Lu Qing shook his head.Tang Qingfeng thought for a while and said:

"Since that's the case, we'll discuss this matter later. By the way, do you know who attacked you?"

"Know something." Lu Qing looked at the crowd and said slowly:

"Those two people, one named Liu Ruyan, was originally a disciple of the Immortal Medicine Valley, but later defected from the Immortal Medicine Valley for unknown reasons and joined the Four Sages Palace.

The other one, I don't know too well, I only heard Liu Ruyan call her Zhen Su, she looks very strange, she is a woman who uses Gu.Others, I don't know. "

"Liu Ruyan?" Tang Qingfeng, Li Zhenwu, and Jiang Ling looked at each other in surprise:

"It can't be Liu Ruyan from Mingyue Tower!" Jiang Ling said.

"It's possible." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"From this point of view, there may be a great connection between Mingyue Tower and Sisheng Palace." Li Zhenwu said.

"Yes." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

Listening to the conversation between the three, Lu Qing's face was full of doubts.Liu Ruxue was silent as if she was thinking about something.

"Old Tang, you keep the map of the magic weapon first. As for the cipher text map, we will investigate slowly when Lu Qing recovers," Jiang Ling said.

"Well, good." Tang Qingfeng nodded in response.Then he looked at Lu Qing and said:

"You rest first." Then he looked at Jiang Ling and said, "Let's go first, come back later."

"Okay." Jiang Ling nodded.

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he and Li Zhenwu went out under the leadership of Liu Ruxue.

The three of them were walking on the road and happened to meet Wu Xing'er.After Wu Xing'er brought him and Li Zhenwu to the residence, he left with Liu Ruxue.

In the stilted building, Tang Qingfeng picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea and gently handed it to Li Zhenwu. "Zhenwu, I'm a little tired from the haste these days."

"No problem." Li Zhenwu took the teacup and replied.

Tang Qingfeng looked at him and smiled and said, "Well, let's rest for a few days and discuss the next move after Lu Qing recovers."

"Okay." Li Zhenwu nodded.

Tang Qingfeng waited for Li Zhenwu to take a sip of tea, and then said:

"True martial arts."

"Huh?" Li Zhenwu looked up at Tang Qingfeng, only to see him say with a smile on his face:

"My Tang Sect has a bone-pinching secret method, which can relieve fatigue. Zhenwu, do you want to try it?"

"Bone pinching secret method?" Li Zhenwu was puzzled.

"Well, try?" After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he stood up with a smile and walked to Li Zhenwu, stretched out his left hand to hold Li Zhenwu's arm, and grabbed his wrist with his right hand, gently pressing it, and asked:

"How about it?"

After Tang Qingfeng's bone pinching, Li Zhenwu really felt his arm a lot easier.It's just that he's not used to being so intimate with people. Although he and Tang Qingfeng are both men, pinching the bones is nothing, but the moment the skin touches, it still feels a little weird.

"Brother Tang, thank you, I'm much better." Li Zhenwu wanted to withdraw his hand when he said that, Tang Qingfeng sensed his intention, secretly exerted force, stopped his movement, looked at him with a smile and said:

"Zhenwu, don't worry, it hasn't started yet."

At this moment, with a bang, the door was pushed open.

"Tang Qingfeng!" Wu Xing'er pushed the door and entered, just in time to bump into the two who were secretly competing.Seeing Tang Qingfeng grabbing Li Zhenwu's arm and holding his wrist tightly, she quickly asked in puzzlement:

"You guys, what are you doing?"

"What do you want from me?" Tang Qingfeng ignored his question, looked at her displeased and asked, but still held Li Zhenwu tightly.

"The patriarch is looking for you, let me take you there." Wu Xing'er glanced at him, then at Li Zhenwu, and then said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Tang Qingfeng, you can do it."

Li Zhenwu heard a strange meaning from Wu Xing'er's words, and wanted to withdraw his hand from Tang Qingfeng's hand. Tang Qingfeng noticed his actions and let him go slowly.

Li Zhenwu put his hands behind his back, looked at Wu Xing'er and calmly explained: "Miss Wu, you misunderstood. Brother Tang proposed to use the Tang Men's bone pinching secret technique to help me loosen my arms because he saw that I was tired."

"Oh, it seems that I misunderstood." Wu Xing'er said thoughtfully, and then continued: "It's okay, it's all the same. Tang Sect's bone kneading secret technique? I haven't seen it before, Tang Qingfeng, next time I will do it too." Try it, if it's good, I'll squeeze it for Ruxue too." Wu Xing'er looked at Tang Qingfeng with a smile on her face.Tang Qingfeng rolled her eyes and said:

"Didn't you say something happened?"

"Cut. Forget it if you don't want to." Wu Xing'er said contemptuously; "Let's go."

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and said, "Zhenwu, you rest first, I'll take a look and come back later."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he walked out with Wu Xing'er.On the way, Wu Xing'er looked at Tang Qingfeng with a smile on his face and asked:

"Tang Qingfeng, how come I don't know about the Tang Sect's bone-crunching secret technique?"

"There are many secret arts of the Tang Sect that you don't know." Tang Qingfeng replied with disgust.

"Hey, Tang Qingfeng, aren't you interested in him? The way you look at him doesn't seem right." Wu Xing'er said meaningfully.

"It has nothing to do with you." Tang Qingfeng glanced at Wu Xing'er, and then said: "You don't have to guess, Zhenwu and I are just friends."

"Friend." Wu Xing'er thought thoughtfully.
