Chapter 42 Nightfall
The people are thinking of the casualty situation of the brethren under the mountain, hurriedly turned around out of the bottle mountain, to the shade of the mountain to take a look, it is indeed a heavy casualties, was smashed into a boulder meat cake countless, there are many head broken and bloodied seriously injured, even the cross Xiangyin’s great warlord Luo Lao crooked is also killed on the spot, fell into a broken body.
That bottle mouth rock fell down the slope rolled to a dense forest, from the shade has been far away, the ground was smashed out of the pit, trees and rocks, and human blood, and donkeys and horses and livestock are mixed with a piece of the wilderness, lucky not to be dead each face like ashes, a dull expression, draw a slap over there is no reaction.
Chen blind heart cooled half, secretly said: “really is the death of heaven I also!” Painstakingly manage the situation for many years, seems to follow the bottle mountain together with the collapse, the death and injury of a few hundred people is nothing, but the local warlords is the rabble, and now Luo old crooked a death, tens of thousands of troops under his command immediately became a group of dragons without a leader, Xiangyin is unloading Ling group of thieves lair, this matter of the consequences of the seriousness of the difficult to estimate, and the three thieves bottle mountain, the death and injury of the loss of a brother is one time more than one time, Changsheng mountain helm handler The prestige of the helmsman of Changsheng Mountain has been lost, and if we don’t steal more than a dozen big tombs again, we won’t be able to find this son back.
As the saying goes, “scoop up all the Xiangjiang River water, hard to cover the face of shame”, Chen blind man frustrated to the extreme, feel that his life’s career and ambition, have been in this day and into the east flow, right and wrong success or failure to turn the head empty, in the blink of an eye, Taishan turned into an iceberg, think of these, can not help but a burst of anxious fire, nearly vomited blood.
His men rushed to help him to sit aside, have persuaded: “Chen general head of the God Jian Gai Shi, we this time is planted a big heel, but the foundations of Changsheng Mountain has not been shaken, there will be a resurgence of the future, when the leader is not always teach the little ones can not be period of victory or defeat soldiers; Luo Shuai, although the Fu Wei Shang, the death is also a tragedy, but counted on the criminal sky dance Ganqi, the fierce will so long in, the hero is a good man, the hero is a good man. Mighty Zhi so long in, heroes and heroes do not die even if, since to die must be for lifting the big picture of the big name and die, as long as the Changsheng Mountain helmsman did not have an accident, we are to stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no wood to burn.”
Chen blind man see underlings net say some painless bullshit, and no half a sentence when the good words, the heart is more chagrined, waved them aside, only the partridge whistle to the near front, sighed in contempt, said to him: “Brother ah, you and I are righteous a, from the righteousness has never been a loss, and now for the brother has been disorganized, really do not know how to do good, and only you can help me to get an idea. ”
Partridge whistle is the top of the smart characters, he understands the situation in front of Chen Blind, this “unloading ridge thief leader” of the gold chair is afraid to sit unsteady, the only plan today, only to mend the sheep, the Greenwood Road to do things, since ancient times is a boat against the current, not to advance is to retreat, and is absolutely difficult to turn back.
The first priority is to stabilize the heart of the army, to prevent Luo Lao crooked troops mutiny and dispersal, and now a road between the warlords to grab the territory of the battle is very intense, if not to stabilize the troops, but a large number of deserters, around the size of the warlords will probably take advantage of the opportunity to enter the area, so that the unloading of the Ling group of thieves in Xiangyin can not stand.
Secondly, we have to steal the Bottle Mountain Tomb, now that the top of the mountain in the chamber with the collapse of the mountain fell into the slope of the dense forest, inside the coffins and artifacts I do not know whether it is also shattered seven or eight, but not to steal this tomb empty, Chen blind man is even more disgraceful.
Partridge whistle is willing to single-handedly go to the forest to steal the tomb, and Chen blind man should command his men to gather the remnants, pacify the wounded soldiers, convergence of the dead, and sent back to Xiangyin, looking for Luo old crooked warlord team in the number two, with some means to let him serve for the Changsheng Mountain, in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.
Chen blind man said: “This is a foolproof plan, only that the tomb is already upside down, let the virtuous brother a person to go to the tomb is too risky, there is a lonely palm, must have someone to help is.”
Partridge whistle did not want to have someone to help, moving mountains and unloading different means, never rely on more people, moving mountains for the Taoist, manpower when many in turn shall not be able to perform, but it is not good to reject the Chen blind man, and finally two people discussed, only let the red girl and hole barbarians to follow with the same, in case of danger, you can release the rocket as a signal, near the cleaning up the wreckage of the pirate crowd will immediately rushed to meet.
That red girl is the moon door in the good hand, break the locks have excellent, and have flying knife sleeve arrow skills, and she is not as unusual as the thieves rush to profit, with the side is a powerful helper, and that hole barbarian, although timid as a mouse, but the local natives, familiar with the old Bear Ridge and all the landforms and all the customs and history of the mountain drill forests, can not be far away from him, this guy greed Chen Blind man rewarded him with more than a few two smoky clay, and then immediately exclude the Life is willing to move mountains with the Taoist to go robbing tombs.
Waiting for the arrangements have been finalized, eat some dry food, the night has fallen, partridge whistle and red girl are changed into black night clothes, let the guide hole barbarian drag on a “centipede hanging ladder”, three people and each back a bamboo basket, will be angry clear chicken and the other two male chickens loaded into it, look at the moon, the light with the day, will immediately start to move forward.
The broken mountain rolled all the way to the bottom of the valley, along the way crushed many trees, full of blood stains and broken flesh, and not an inch of flat ground feasible, had to detour from the other side of the forest into the inside, this night’s moonlight is as clear as water, but also did not pick up the lamps, all the lamps are out hung on the waist, through the forest over the past, a faction of the forest is deep and quiet, turn into the mountain pass did not go very far behind the unloading of Ling group of thieves to collect the body of the whole team of the sound of the noise will not hear.
On the road, three people talk about the Bottle Mountain Tomb, the red girl took the opportunity to thank the partridge whistle day to save the grace of the partridge whistle, the partridge whistle does not care about this, some small things, what to worry about?
The red girl said the virtue of saving life is not a small thing? Although temporarily entrusted in the green forest shelter to avoid trouble, followed by the helmsman to do some lawless hooks, but also dare not forget the “point of water, when the spring of repayment” of the way of the world, moving mountain Taoist in the daytime also folded two people, she saw the partridge whistle and then no other helpers, they said that they are willing to break away from Changshengshan in the future, and follow him to the side of the fights everywhere! She said that she was willing to leave Changsheng Mountain and follow him around to fight in different places, and that although her strength was weak, she would give up her life to help him regardless of her safety.
Partridge Whistle see the opportunity how bright? See the red girl said so, I knew that she is interested in the body, had to put the words clearly, so as not to be entangled in the future sentiments give birth to a lot of unnecessary trouble, although the moving mountain Taoist and outsiders also intermarried, but the people in this clan are subjected to the evil curse of the Ghost Cave torment, the life expectancy is very short.
Red girl see each other to recognize the heart, feel the face burning, good in the moonlight is not clear, it is not easy to be that irrelevant hole barbarians see, had to say something else, this head off, she is not concerned about the world’s gains and losses and success or failure, but to say to the fate of the bitter, the Moon Mountain since ancient times is at the bottom of the social stratum, doubly subject to the oppression and bullying, short-lived and prematurely died than the body of the evil curse of the artists who moved the mountain Taoist less? Red girl’s sister black girl is sixteen years old lost her life, her family even with the old and young seven people, are also forced to die by the government, said it can not stop to shed tears.
Partridge whistle do not want to talk about the world, said it is inevitable that people are disheartened, just think that the red girl’s sister is called black girl, the moon mountain in the name of the arts but really weird, are to color as the word, bottle mountain near the old Bear Ridge Villa, was originally a “grandma temple”, inside for the white old lady, it is hard to believe that the old beaver is also in the moon mountain? No wonder that will make the illusion.
Talking almost almost three days, the moon has been high, smoke, the dense forest is hazy and demonic, partridge whistle let the two stop temporarily, climbed up a tree to raise their eyes around, see the direction of the huge rock in the forest, are caged in a strange mist, look at it slipped out of the tree, carefully searching for the hole barbarians in this back of the mountain terrain.
Hole barbarians busy answer: “good teaching this Mo Shi brother son to know, behind the mountains overlapping valleys, all the inhospitable terrain, surrounded by those naturally occurring stalagmites stone columns, we cave people called it Wat Rock, Wat Rock dense forest, is shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings Nu Ching Au, the deepest part of the early years is said to be the seventy-two holes razor’s ancestral caves, and now it seems that there are some Xuanbird, black bear’s Stone statue remains, deserted for a long time, now the locals do not think much of this place.” His impression of the partridge whistle preconceived notion, also thought that this person is blind man Chen asked the old to help robbing graves “Za Lou ink master”, and the local cave people on the carpenter is extremely respectful, it is still to “ink master” called.
Partridge Whistle secretly nodded, thinking that the Bottle Hill Tomb really take the method of anorexia victory, to the Yin gas of the hanging tombs suppression of razor ancestor hole of the auspicious gas, the Yuan pressure to win the way is not uncommon, the Yuan destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiangnan Sakai Chief Yang Lian Zhenjia had the Southern Song Dynasty tombs stolen and dug out the Southern Song Dynasty, a number of Southern Song Dynasty Emperor’s bones mashed up and mixed in the bones of dogs and pigs and livestock, buried in a large pit, and on top of it, built a “Zhennan Tower”, used to suppress the South’s Dragon Xing gas, this approach is typical of the “aversion to victory”, but also thought: “Yi Zu Cave but I do not know if there is really what the name of the forest mists do not disperse, the material is not a peaceful place to go! I can’t afford not to take precautions.”
Thinking about this, will let the red girl and hole barbarians are lightening the footsteps, looking for the moonlight can not shine in the shadow of the trees to sneak past, this time to hear that the depths of the forest cries four, crying whimpering extremely sad and miserable, as if the dead funeral howling in general, the dense forest in the middle of the night to listen to the extremely bleak, so that the human bones soughing.
Cave barbarians know that this mountain absolutely no one else, how there will be this many cries, the heart of the ancestral cave is not the ancestors of the souls in the night out to complain about the suffering? Thinking of this scared him shivered into a ball, scalp hairs are standing up one by one, the soles of the feet as weak as cotton wool, on the spot will be a butt to sit down on the ground.
