The boy in the shop was stunned for a moment and stopped talking. When he saw Xue Bing'er's clothes, he knew that she was not a maid. He quickly smiled and said, "Have you ever... I haven't seen anyone else..." That’s what they all said!”
Xue Bing'er angrily yelled: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing, get out!"
The shop boy didn't dare to neglect him at all. He looked embarrassed for a moment, bowed his waist repeatedly, said respectfully, turned around and left the hall.
Nangong Haotian glanced at Zhao Ling'er helplessly, shook his head, looked at Aunt Shan, and ordered: "Aunt Shan, watch the reward!"
Aunt Shan nodded reluctantly and said, "Stop!"
The shop boy had already heard about the appreciation, and he stopped and stood there happily, looking at Nangong Haotian with a charming smile.
Aunt Shan had already taken out an ingot of silver worth two ounces and put it into the shop boy's hand, and said humorously: "Two ounces of silver are divided equally, one ounce is for answering, and one ounce is for being scolded..."
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the shop boy couldn't help but smile happily and say thank you.
Shangguan Xiaowan smoothed the black hair on her forehead and said seriously: "You only talk about gossip, but forget about serious things!"
This sentence reminded Nangong Haotian, his expression changed, and he continued to ask: "Little brother, there is one more thing I haven't asked you!"
The boy in the shop couldn't help but glance at Xue Bing'er nervously, and then asked respectfully: "I won't ask the princess about her marriage again, will I?"
After saying this, everyone laughed. Zhao Ling'er glared at the waiter angrily, making him tremble with fright and he no longer dared to look at Zhao Ling'er.
Xue Bing'er, who had always kept her face tight and not smiling, couldn't help but smile.
Nangong Haotian smiled and said: "No, no, it's about us going to visit... um... it's a guest, but we only know that he lives near Tuotuo Mountain, not in Tuotuo Mountain!"
The shop boy thought for a while and asked: "There are three or four villages and tribes in the surrounding foothills of Tuotuo Mountain. I wonder which village I am asking about?"
After hearing this, Nangong Haotian asked hesitantly: "Is there any village village in Tuotuo Mountain?"
"Yes..." The shop boy nodded his head repeatedly with a slightly nervous expression: "There is a large and luxurious courtyard, but I have never been to it. I only heard this from the customers who were drinking in the restaurant..."
"It doesn't matter..." Nangong Haotian hurriedly said with relief: "Tell us as much as you know!"
The shop boy explained: "I haven't heard much about it. I only know that there may be some masters living in that manor!"
Shangguan Xiaowan and Nangong Haotian looked at each other, and the former asked with concern: "How do you know there is an expert in the courtyard?"
The shop boy said solemnly: "Because some people were curious, they once sneaked into the manor to spy..."
"But they all disappeared without trace?" Nangong Haotian remembered that when he was in Wuyi Mountain, Liu Qingqing's chief helm was also like this.
Unexpectedly, the shop boy shook his head and said: "No, they are all released!"
After saying this, everyone exclaimed in surprise. After looking at each other, Nangong Haotian still asked: "What did the people who were released say?"
The shop boy shook his head and said, "They didn't say anything!"
Aunt Shan couldn't help but asked angrily: "Then how do you know there is an expert living inside?"
The shop boy explained sternly: "Because some people were asked and had no choice but to tell everyone that there are worldly masters of cultivation living inside. I hope you don't disturb me anymore. They know the magic of immortality!"
"Immortal method..." Gutou suddenly asked: "Will anyone go there again in the future?"
"It seems that no one has been there again..." The shop boy shook his head and said, "Even though I have been there, I didn't say anything after I was released."
Liu Qianwen, who had been frowning in thought, suddenly asked: "Don't people who collect firewood and hunt in the mountainous area see people coming in and out of that farmhouse?"
"I've never heard anyone say this." The shop boy shook his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "So I don't know, and I ask my aunt for your forgiveness!"
Nangong Haotian knew that he couldn't get anything out by asking any more, so he smiled slightly, waved his hands and said in a harmonious voice: "Okay, little brother, go ahead!"
The shop boy bowed to thank you, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Nangong Haotian waited until the shop boy walked out of the door, immediately looked at Shangguan Xiaowan and others, and said solemnly: "It seems that it is not wrong. There is indeed a luxurious manor in Tuotuo Mountain!"
"Although I know now that there is a courtyard..." Shangguan Xiaowan said: "But I don't know how many people are in it..."
"Judging from the ambition of the woman in purple, there are certainly many people living in the courtyard!" the old man said seriously.
"So to speak..." Nangong Haotian said in confusion: "Since their organization has such great ambitions, they must not want to be seen by the outside world, so why did they release the people who went in to spy on them?
They say there are magic spells, but are there really gods in this world?"
"I don't know if there are gods, and I have never seen them!" Aunt Shan said disapprovingly: "But if they say this, they may have bribed them with coercion and inducement just like we did at Jiyunguan!"
"Has everyone been bribed by them?" Nangong Haotian curled his lips,
"There's no need to argue!" Shangguan Xiaowan said, "This mystery will be revealed when we arrive tomorrow..."
"No, I'm going to go tonight!" Nangong Haotian shook his head.
Shangguan Xiaowan and others frowned slightly, but before they spoke, the old man suddenly said in agreement: "I agree with the young master's statement. Going tonight will have many benefits for us..."
For this reason, the old man made some analysis, and everyone said it was insightful, so he decided to rest for half an hour after the meal and set off for Tuotuo Mountain.
At watch time, eight people from Nangong Haotian, each riding a horse, galloped due west along the south bank of Yilin Lake.
After leaving Yilin Lake, there is still wilderness, endless as far as the eye can see, but in the sky due west, there is an undulating shadow, like an ancient beast, waiting for Nangong Haotian to take it into his mouth.
Chu Meng raised his hand and pointed, "Sister Xiaowan, that's Tuotuo Mountain!"
Nangong Haotian was helpless, he was ignored directly, but when he looked up with others, Zhao Ling'er first said: "Tuotuo Mountain is not high!"
Chu Meng replied: "Although the mountain is not high, it has lush trees, is vast in depth, and has many dangerous places!"
At this time, the cold wind in the wilderness was strong, the night sky was clear, and the stars were densely packed. Due to the galloping of eight fast horses, only the clatter of hoofs could be heard like a shower of rain.
It was already halfway through the third watch when we arrived at the small town at the foot of the eastern foothills of Mount Tuotuo.
Several shops in the town have long been closed, and even the only two inns have no lights or movement. Everything is so quiet, as if the entire town has been cast into silence.
Nangong Haotian and others parked their horses in front of the larger inn of the two.
While Chu Meng, Nangong Haotian and others got off their horses, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't say anything, all of you, and let me call the door."
After saying this, Lama walked to the tightly closed store door, grabbed an iron ring on the door frame, and pulled hard two or three times.
After a long time, a voice in Mongolian language came from inside that just woke up.
While Chu Meng answered in Mongolian, he whipped the door of the store with a riding crop. The small sword boots under his feet also kept kicking the door, causing a loud banging sound!
Nangong Haotian and others frowned as they watched, unable to understand a word of the rough Mongolian spoken by Chu Meng.
However, the person who answered the question in the store responded with an extremely nervous and shocked voice while running towards the store door!
Chu Meng turned back to look at Shangguan Xiaowan and the others, and said with a cunning smile: "He is shouting loudly to their shopkeeper and other clerks."
After he finished speaking, he kicked the door of the store twice more and said a few words in Mongolian angrily.
The shop boy inside responded anxiously while dismantling the large wooden bars that barred the shop door.
When the store door opened, Chu Meng violently waved the riding crop in his hand and scolded the store boy who opened the door.
The shop boy put his head in his hands, begged for mercy, dodged the riding whip and backed away.
Shangguan Xiaowan felt that Chu Meng was going too far, but after seeing that her riding crop was just swung in the air and did not hit the shop boy, she couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, a lantern appeared inside, and there were shouts!
Following the shouting, four or five burly shop boys were seen running out of the shop carrying two lanterns. Their bodies were as big as a cow.
Chu Meng had stopped waving his riding whip, looked at the four or five shop boys who were running towards him, and yelled angrily in Mongolian. When the four or five shop boys rushed to him, he turned around and looked towards Gong Haotian and others, continuing to hide his anger.
The words commanded.
Several Mongolian shop boys agreed respectfully and ran over to pull the horses.
Chu Meng's mouth never stopped shouting, and he took the opportunity to make a gesture of taking money to Aunt Shan.
Aunt Shan had already taken out two ingots and two ounces of silver knowingly and handed them to one of the Mongolian shop boys.
Chu Meng waited until the shop boys pulled the horse over, and gave a majestic shout or two. Amidst the repeated responses from the six shop boys, he fiercely waved the riding whip in his hand towards Nangong Haotian and the others, and unfolded it first.
Using Qinggong, he flew directly towards the west entrance of the village.
When Nangong Haotian and others saw it, they all started to follow behind. As soon as they exited the west entrance of the village, they saw the dark peaks and valleys of trees in front of them.
There are no rocks at the foot of the mountain, but there is still a thick layer of sand with a hard surface, covered with slender vines and grasses.
Aunt Shan said with a smile: "Mrs. Niu's Mongolian language finally came in handy today!"
Chu Meng couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Don't laugh at me for being a crazy woman!"
"What on earth did you say?" Zhao Ling'er asked with a smile and concern: "Look at how majestic you are!"
Chu Mengyi smiled and said: "I pretend to be the person who handles affairs for them. I want them to open the door quickly so as not to delay the princess's important business!"
