Chapter Twenty-Nine: Digging for Gold
The north wind is bleak, and there are crystal snowflakes falling slowly.
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Che's body, he straightened the few strands of hair on his sideburns that were blown by the wind, bowed respectfully to Mu Xian, and then drew his long sword from his waist.
The sword body was unsheathed, the cold light was shining, I subconsciously grabbed my sleeve, and was thinking about what my father would do next after successfully killing Su Che, only to hear Mu Xian raise his hand to stop Su Che, and said in a deep voice: "Stop!" ”
Daddy glanced at Mu Xian, and the subtext was: "What do you want to do?" ”
"It's only natural for the pavilion master to find this excuse to ask for Su Che's life, but Su Che is not the only martial arts master I brought with me this time." Mu Xian slapped his face lightly as he spoke, and then two guards escorted a man in a military general's uniform to step forward.
"Who is this?" I looked at his familiar eyebrows and asked.
"Xiahou Ye, the great general of Yiguo." Mu Xian raised the man's chin with his short hand and replied in a contemptuous tone.
Xiahou Ye? Isn't he Xiahou Ying's cousin? If I remember correctly, he and Su Che were in the same group, why did Mu Xian pull him out to die for Su Che at this time?
"You're not afraid that Xiahou Ying will retaliate against you by doing this?"
"Revenge? Just by her? Mu Xian raised the corners of his mouth disdainfully, took the long sword from Su Che's hand, and a sword pierced through Xiahou Ye's chest.
Xiahou Ye's eyes widened angrily, the corners of his mouth overflowed with bubbling red blood, and he said in a low voice: "My sister will definitely not let you go...... Just wait for retribution! ”
"Well, it seems that I have to inform Xiahou Ying as soon as possible, her cousin died at my hands." Mu Xian suddenly withdrew his sword and brought out a string of flying blood flowers.
The dazzling red fell on the crystal white ice, and the gorgeous red plums bloomed, and Xiahou Ye stared at a pair of eyes and fell straight to the ground.
I sighed and turned to look at Daddy, wondering what he was going to do next.
"The entrance will appear soon, everyone back away!" Daddy suddenly raised his hand to protect me and quickly stepped back. I almost fell to the ground with a violent shake, but fortunately my father pulled me in time.
It turns out that opening the entrance to this snow-capped mountain Jedi really requires the hard work of a person with deep internal strength, and I thought that my father just wanted to deal with Su Che, but it seems that I misunderstood him.
A crack gradually cracked in the shaking ground, and a solid wall of ice slowly rose up from the gap.
When everything was calm, the Soul Eater Wall finally returned to the way it was when we first saw it.
Daddy pushed the wheelchair and was about to step forward, but Mu Xian grabbed him: "Pavilion Master, do you have a way to come out again after we go in like this?" ”
"There is a way to come out, but I also know the purpose of your visit this time, once you move the things in this snow-capped mountain Jedi, this place will be permanently closed, and no one will be able to find it here in the future." Daddy clasped his hand tightly on the armrest and looked sideways at Mu Xian.
"Since you know me, I'll make it clear, after I take the things here, this place will have no meaning of existence, and it won't be a big deal if no one can enter it in the future." Mu Xian waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow my father into the Snow Mountain Jedi in turn.
There is no change here from the last time I came, probably because there is a little less energy, and the scene of early spring is more and more bleak.
We crossed the wooden bridge all the way and stopped at the wooden house on the opposite bank. Mu Xian ordered people to go to the bottom of Bihu Lake to find He'er first, and then start to carry things.
Daddy didn't bring many people with him this time, except for dozens of close subordinates, even his uncle Kurayoshikage stayed in Yicheng.
I pushed my father's wheelchair and stood by the lake, looked around for a while before lowering my head and asking, "Didn't Daddy say that Xiao Ran was in the Snow Mountain Jedi?" Why didn't I see him? ”
"Silly boy, what can you do if you find that kid? You can't afford to repay his affection for you, and if you live a good life with Willow in the future, that is the best explanation for him. Daddy looked thoughtfully at the hill not far away and let out a long sigh.
I was thinking about what my father's words meant, when I suddenly heard one of Mu Xian's subordinates shouting, "Found it, I found He'er Gongzi!" ”
Seeing this, the others hurriedly stepped forward to help him fish He'er out of the water.
Mu Xian took off his robe and wrapped the wet lotus tightly, my hand pushing the wheelchair loosened, and then pressed my father's shoulder and whispered: "If he summons Bai Ze out now, are you sure that Bai Ze will stand on our side?" ”
Daddy shook his head lightly, and replied in a low voice: "Bai Ze has a strange temper, and his head is not very bright, this time Mu Xian can take it out of the Snow Mountain Jedi must have mastered its weakness, what I haven't found out in 20 years with it, he has done it here in just a few months, I have to admire Mu Xian's methods." ”
After everyone came to the wooden house to settle He'er, Mu Xian was not in a hurry to summon Bai Ze to treat He'er, but asked people to go to the back mountain to dig for gold first.
I thought that my father must not be interested in this matter, and I was about to push him back to the room to rest, but my father suddenly raised his hand and signaled me to stop: "Let's go to the back mountain to have a look!" ”
Although I didn't have much interest in gold, I heard that the amount of gold buried in the ground was amazing, so I pushed my father to go to the back mountain with the mentality of watching the excitement.
In the grassy valley behind the mountain, everyone is digging the soft soil with the hoes and shovels they have brought.
I fixed my father's wheelchair and sat on it: "We're going to watch them dig up the soil here?" ”
"There's another secret I haven't told you all along." A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Daddy's mouth, and I waited earnestly for his next words with my chin propped up on my chin.
"When they dig up all the gold, you push me and jump into the blue lake." Daddy lowered his voice and said quietly.
"...... "Daddy" means that they will kill us when they dig up the gold, so we have to cut it off ourselves? I looked at him sadly, and pouted in dissatisfaction, the feeling of being drowned was too painful...... Can we change the way we die?
"It's not what you think, we won't die, it's them who will die." Daddy stroked his beard proudly and looked at me with ulterior motives.
Will they die?
Is there anything strange about this gold?
Although I have doubts in my heart, I know that since Daddy said so, our situation should not be dangerous. Moved to the armrest of Daddy's wheelchair, propped his elbows on it, and waited for what would happen next.
Mu Xian's people dug out baskets of gold and put them next to them, looking at the countless baskets, I couldn't help but smack my tongue and said: "No wonder he has to go all the way to find it, there is really a lot of gold here." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a strange and low roar, and my father slapped the armrest and exclaimed, "Here we are!" Fast! Let's get into the water! ”
I hurriedly got up and pushed my wheelchair to the lake, and was about to fall into the water when the sky in the snowy mountain Jedi suddenly darkened, as if a rainstorm was coming. Seeing that I was in a daze, my father urged, "Jump down, or we won't have a chance to go out again." ”
