Yan Zhuo frowned and thought. He actually felt that his idea was a bit fanciful. After all, it was impossible to open a mountain road in the bitter cold land of Kunlun without being discovered by anyone.
But he still couldn't help but think about it. He was always used to preparing for the worst.
After all, once a person prepares for the worst, a slightly more benevolent arrangement of fate will be regarded by people's hearts as the best gift from God.
If what Xiao Mu just saw was really the Holy Fire Cult, it proves that the Holy Fire Cult does have a way to bypass the natural barrier of the Kunlun Ghost Gate and reach the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain. And once they can get to this hinterland, they can attack and kill Jin in the dark.
Dinggong Taoist, if Kunlun Mountain is lost, there will be no natural danger on the west side of the Northern Qi Dynasty to defend. The Wuman and the Holy Fire Sect on the north and west sides can attack the Royal Court of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
At that time, Jiang Zuo resorted to the method of making close friends and attacking from far away. On the surface, he made peace with the Northern Qi Dynasty and donated weapons, grain and grass. In fact, he joined forces with Baiyun Villa and Qingcheng to strangle the Later Han Dynasty. In this way, the south of the Yangtze River could be unified. Wait until the Northern Qi Dynasty and Wuman, the Holy Fire
The teacher's vitality was severely damaged, and Jiang Zuo took advantage of the opportunity to unify the Later Han and Northern Qi. Then Jiang Zuo's national power would become the first in Kyushu.
Dadan and Bohai may also surrender to Jiangzuo. The various factions in the rivers and lakes may either become the talons of his Zhao Hanguo or hide in Dadan, and Bohai will survive.
"For the current plan, we still have to let Brother Qiao's Beggar Gang unite with Shaolin, Jinding, Diancang, Giant Whale, and Donghai sects to ignite a spark in these nine states with the power of the rivers and lakes."
Yan Zhuo thought like this, and suddenly thought of Qiao Zhenyue's safety: "Brother Qiao was injured in the brain, and he suffered from cold and injured his heart and lungs. Although he was protected by Xiao Huan Dan, the secret medicine of Jinding Palace, what if he got injured in Jinding Palace?"
There is still no improvement in the top palace, and when those people from Baiyun Villa saw that Brother Qiao was injured, there was no guarantee that they would not attack him..."
He thought to himself, and couldn't help but hurry up. He held back his breath and rushed towards the Golden Dome Palace, but after only taking a few steps, his heart choked in his throat, beating thumpingly, as if to "take away
Out of the mouth."
When the two Jinding Taoists saw Yan Zhuo's sudden hurried steps, they thought he wanted to see what was going on on the hillside, so they comforted him: "Young Master Yan, don't be impatient. The oxygen in this high mountain and bitter cold place is thin, and you are not used to it when you first arrive here."
, If you hold back your breath and have a hallucination on that hillside, it will be a small matter, but if your heart and lungs explode, it will be a big deal!"
Mu Yunfeng also advised from the side: "Brother Yan, maybe I saw it wrong. I'm not sure if it was my hallucination."
Hearing what several people said, Yan Zhuo had no intention and power to argue. He looked far into the distance and saw that Lei Jie, Qiao Zhenyue and his party had disappeared. He had no choice but to take a deep breath and crawl towards the Golden Dome Palace steadily.
Along the way, the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, and the cold wind carried the icy snowflakes in the east city, crackling on the faces of the group of people. From time to time, he stumbled under his feet, which could even make the bones of that person numb with fear.
However, although this mountain road is dangerous, it will eventually come to an end. As long as the great rivers and mountains in this world exist, there will be countless brave men crossing them and climbing them. Humanity's ambition to conquer nature will never disappear.
Lei Jie has already rushed to the Golden Summit Palace with Qiao Zhenyue.
As soon as they arrived at the Golden Summit Palace, they rushed to the Demon-Conquering Palace to meet Master Lei Qi.
"Sect Master, this is Qiao Zhenyue, the leader of the Beggar Clan. Leader Qiao was injured in Gui Men Pan while trying to save Junior Brother Lei Bo." Lei Jie briefly told Master Lei Qi what happened along the way.
Master Lei Qi heard that it was Qiao Zhenyue, the leader of the Beggar Clan, and that he was trying to save his injured disciple. He didn't bother to tell everyone about the leader's affairs, so he quickly ordered: "Send him to the greenhouse quickly, I'll help him
Diagnosis and treatment.”
This hot house is the secret place for healing and practice in the Golden Summit Palace. Although this hot house is called a hot house, it is not actually a warm house, but a hot spring hidden in the mountain.
In order to fight against the witch barbarians and the Holy Fire Sect, the ancestors of the Golden Summit Palace stationed their sects in the bitter cold land of Kunlun. The Kunlun Mountains are so high that ordinary things cannot boil water or cook rice. In order to survive on this mountain, Jinding Palace
The Taoist priests in the Ding Palace had no choice but to find another way. I don't know whether God was moved or some Taoist had a good chance to discover the hot springs on Kunlun Mountain. While looking for the hot springs, the Jinding Taoists also discovered the earth fire hidden under the hot springs.
Jinding Palace was also built based on this hot spring and earth fire. For decades, daily life in the temple has relied on this hot spring and earth fire. Jinding Taoists gradually discovered that this hot spring is very good for the human body and has the effect of cultivating the body and protecting the pulse.
It has great efficacy, so every time a disciple catches the cold, he will be sent to this conservatory for treatment.
Lei Qi sent Qiao Zhenyue to his hot spring water, and dropped some of his own self-refined elixirs for relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation into the hot spring water.
I saw Qiao Zhenyue soaking naked in the hot spring. After only half a stick of incense, he had woken up slightly, but he was still unconscious and could not speak.
Lei Qi took out the silver needle and asked Lei Jie what happened while performing acupuncture on Qiao Zhenyue.
"How did Gang Leader Qiao get injured like this? How did you meet Gang Leader Qiao, and where were his two envoys?" Lei Qi asked.
Listening to Lei Qi's question, Lei Jie told how Qiao Zhenyue saved people and how he crashed into the cliff and was seriously injured. He also told everything about Yan Zhuo and Mu Yunfeng, and how they were in the ghost gate.
Pan encountered the incident of "Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night".
This Lei Jie seems to be good at reporting. He explains everything concisely and clearly, so concisely that people can understand the ins and outs of the matter at a glance.
Lei Qi heard that both Qiao Zhenyue and Yan Zhuo were able to escape from the "Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts", and also heard that Qiao Zhenyue even saved two people in a strong wind, he couldn't help but admire Qiao Zhenyue and said: "Look
Coming here, Qiao Zhenyue is really just like the legend in the world, he is a loyal, courageous and heroic man."
While they were talking, there were knocks on the door outside the greenhouse.
Lei Qi told Lei Jie to open the door.
The person standing outside the door was none other than Gu Zhiyuan, the envoy of Baiyun Villa this time. Behind him were three other people, namely Gu Foying, Bai Buchou, and Fang Yingnan.
When the four people saw the door open, Gu Zhiyuan bowed and bowed. The remaining three people stretched their necks and squinted their eyes to look at the people in the hot spring.
"Special Envoy Gu, what's the point of visiting late at night?" Lei Jie asked.
Gu Zhiyuan bowed his body and saluted: "I heard that there is an injured person in your sect, so I specially sent you Baiyun Life-Sustaining Ointment, a strange medicine from Baiyun Villa."
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain jar from his pocket and handed it to Lei Jie.
Lei Jie was not polite, stretched out his hand to take the porcelain bottle, and said: "It's better to be respectful than obey my orders."
As Gu Zhiyuan and Lei Jie said this, Gu, Bai and Fang also had three pairs of small eyes shining brightly, trying their best to identify the man in the hot spring. However, due to the fact that Master Lei Qi was standing in front of the man, they could only vaguely see it.
The man had fluffy black hair and nothing else could be seen.
"I wonder who in your sect was injured?" Bai Buchou couldn't help but ask.
Lei Jie pretended to have a solemn look on his face and said: "One of your junior fellow apprentices accidentally slipped and fell on his head. I'm sorry to bother you all. If you don't have anything else to do, please come back. Junior brother needs to clean up and it's inconvenient to be arrested."
disturb."
Saying that, Lei Jie bowed his head.
The meaning of bowing is obviously to see off guests, especially when it is so dark and there are so few people.
Of course Gu Zhiyuan knew what Lei Jie meant, so he could only return his bow and turn around to leave. After all, he was also a person who wanted face. If he didn't leave at this time, he would lose not only his face, but also Baiyun Villa's.
Etiquette.
As soon as Gu Zhiyuan left, Gu, Bai, and Fang reluctantly turned around and left. Fang Yingnan, who was walking at the end, still stood on tiptoe and took one last look into the greenhouse when he turned around.
It felt as if the person in the hot spring was not Qiao Zhenyue, but the naked Xiang'er.
"Did you see who was inside?" Gu Zhiyuan asked.
"Didn't see clearly."
"I don't know, look at that messy hair, it doesn't look like Yan Zhuo."
"It doesn't look like Yan Zhuo to me either."
The three of them answered all at once.
"Who could it be if it wasn't Yan Zhuo?" Gu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Is he really an ordinary disciple of Jinding Palace?"
"I don't think so. If an ordinary disciple fell asleep, he would be sent to Lei Qi's room overnight?" Gu Foying said.
Everyone listened to what he said and nodded, guessing that the person was definitely not an ordinary person, but no one could guess who he was without seeing him.
Gu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "I don't want to think about it anymore. Let everything go as planned!"
