Martial Lord

The birthplace of the snow mountain family is the Kunlun Mountains. When people mention snow mountains, the first thing that comes to mind is the plateau snow mountains.But in fact, there is another snow mountain, which is also inextricably linked with the ancestors of the Zhang family, and that is the Changbai Snow Mountain located in the Privet Tribe.The ancestors of Zhang Qianjun and thousands of horses were Changbai ginseng pickers who originated here.

After Wu Xie asked the Zhang family, she also felt that the information Zhang Qiling left probably pointed to this Changbai Mountain.

While thinking about these questions, Wu Xie had already brought people to the foot of Changbai Mountain.

This is the territory of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and the customs are quite different from those in the Central Plains.A group of them walked in the market, which was very eye-catching.Especially Wu Xie, his status is not as good as before. The martial arts leader of the Central Plains ran to the territory of the Jurchen, and was soon followed by the third branch of the Jianzhou Privet Changbai Mountain.

Wu Xie didn't want to conflict with these people, but he had important things to do, and he couldn't delay here. In the end, Zhang Qianjun, who was a local, played a role, and finally resolved the misunderstanding for the people on both sides who could not understand the language.Because Wu Xie and others were very sincere and brought a large amount of goods from the Central Plains, they quickly settled in the border of Jianzhou and managed it from top to bottom.

In this way, it was very convenient for Wu Xie to inquire about the news, and the command history of Jianzhou even introduced them to the old local residents.

In the end, they inquired about a family who had lived at the foot of Changbai Mountain for 50 years, and learned that ten years ago, there was indeed a person who was very similar to the younger brother who went up the mountain.

Wu Xie felt that he couldn't suppress the pounding in his heart, and he asked, "What happened next?"

Grandpa Timur said: "What's the future? That year the snow was very heavy, and the mountain was closed early. The man didn't listen to the advice, entered the mountain without saying a word, and never came out again."

Wu Xie frowned: "Master, what does that man look like?"

"In that kind of weather, wrapped in a big fur coat, what can I see? I only know that he is from the Central Plains. By the way, I only remember that the wind and snow were extremely strong that day, and my hair was covered by the wind and snow, and it was all white. Yes, his face is also pale, he looks like a person made of snow."

"He never came back? He never went down the mountain?"

Timur's family lives by the mountain road that must pass on the north slope, and they must pass here when going up and down the mountain.

"I can't get out. Just after he entered the mountain, a big snowstorm came. He must have been buried in the snow." Grandpa Timur watched them arrive, "Snow Mountain has a temper, it's not your home, so you can't just come here if you want." Come and leave as you like, he went when the snow mountain didn't welcome him, and the mountain god was not happy, so he left him."

"Master, think again, maybe you didn't see him coming out..."

"Wu Xie."

The fat man tugged at him, and Wu Xie came back to his senses.

He wiped his face vigorously, turned his head and left the room.

The fat man followed: "Naive, if you think about it, that person may not be my little brother. How could my little brother come here on purpose to seek death with his body at that time. I think we misunderstood that note, so maybe It's just a poem, my brother thinks it sounds good, so I leave it to you."

Wu Xie clenched his teeth, no matter what Fatty said, he couldn't relax.

For ten years, he has followed his footsteps all the way without any news.

In the past ten years, his appearance has hardly aged, but his heart seems to have been cut by thousands of knives, and it is covered with a thick layer of frost and snow.He told himself that to become strong, to become the pillar of Zhang Wu's family, there are too many people waiting for him to protect, and he has no time to hurt the spring and the autumn.Relying on this energy, he paralyzed himself by relying on pain spots and responsibilities all the way. After the paralysis, he lost the feeling, not only the feeling of pain, but also the feeling of being alive became weaker and weaker.

He felt that his heart had died, not just his heart, Wu Xie had also died long ago in these years, and what survived now was just a walking corpse supported by delusion, a body that couldn't bear the disappointment of those around him.

Now that the Wang family fell, he couldn't even hold on to this body, and he felt that his last bit of strength was going to be exhausted.

It's time to let go, it's all over.

— that's what he said to himself.

But at that moment, the moment he saw the black gold ancient knife, his heart was almost as active as before, and the vicissitudes of ten years faded away, and he seemed to have changed back to the innocence before, sitting in Wushan. In a small shop, behind a cozy house, he waits with great anticipation for a fateful encounter, a person who will rewrite his life.

After the anticipation, the first thing to recover is the pain, which is the pain that has been forcibly paralyzed by myself over the years, regardless of body and mind.

A voice told him in his ear: It will never pass, it will never pass, and he will never forget it.

He dare not forget, and he will never forget.

Even if he knew that when he came to Changbai Mountain, there might be only a corpse waiting for him, he couldn't help but do something.

"Xiao Wu, are you naive?"

The fat man's voice echoed in his ears, Wu Xie took a deep breath, letting the coolness fill his heart, and then he ordered to the people around him: "Copy guys, prepare to go into the mountains."

"Boss, Grandpa Timur said that you can't enter the mountain this season, and the mountain god will be angry." The local hired man dissuaded him.

"I'll give you double the money."

It's not about the money, dude is a little bit bothered.

"Boss, you can't..."

"Where are so many nonsense!" The fat man yelled from behind, "Do you want money or not? If you want money, go prepare the guy! You want money and life, and you have to catch up with so many good things! Hurry up, no fat man If you call someone else, you won’t believe that there is money and no one earns it!”

When Wu Xie went out this time, he didn't bring too many people with him, just the fat man and two helpers, one named Kanshoulder and the other named White Snake. These two people each had their own unique skills, and they were Wu Xie's trustworthy confidants over the years.The other people were recruited locally with a lot of money, and they only said that they were dutiful sons who collected ginseng for the elderly at home.

Those people listened to Fatty's words, and they really left with a little regret for their lives, and they wanted money rather than their lives to stay.

This group of people is what Wu Xie wants.

What he does next may never return. Those who still have concerns are not suitable for joining his team.

"Fatty, you stay too."

Wu Xie came over, looked at this good brother who had been with him for more than ten years, and said seriously: "Stay here, I will go by myself."

He has been with him through ten years of bitter wind and rain, and the following things should not be involved.

The fat man was taken aback and patted him.

"What are you talking about?"

He turned his head, and walked in front of the team with his chubby body wrapped in a cloak, step by step, stepping steadily.

It was the evening of the second day that Wu Xie and his party encountered a snowstorm.

The road-savvy old horse in the team noticed the sign half an hour in advance, and led everyone into a crevice in the mountain early, without any danger.It is said that this gap is the only safe haven on this road, and it is the mercy of the God of Snow Mountain. If you continue to go down, there will be no such place anymore.

I don't know if Zhang Qiling stayed here when he went up the mountain.

The wind and snow were howling outside, and everyone in the cave gathered around the fire to keep warm.

The fat man gave the wine to Wu Xie, and Wu Xie took a sip, only to feel acrid in his throat, like a knife that had been baked by fire cutting the esophagus, feeling like his throat was gone.

"It's over." He grinned.

The Central Plains people can't stand the style of this wine.

"But no," the Jurchens in the team laughed, "you have to drink this kind of wine in this kind of weather, otherwise if you accidentally fall asleep, you really won't be able to wake up. Strong alcohol makes you sober."

Wu Xie smiled, noncommittal.

Spirits can only make people intoxicated, but pain can only make people sober.He has been sober for ten years, if he fails now, he really wants to fall asleep.

The fat man stared at Wu Xie, and coughed dryly: "Naive, have you ever thought that if the little brother is not here, would it be meaningful for you to put yourself here?"

So far, Fatty feels that if they want to go back, there is still a chance.

Wu Xie glanced at him: "Is my brother in Jinling?"

"What do you mean?"

"He's not in the Zhang family, so is it meaningful for me to be the leader of the martial arts for ten years?"

The fat man had nothing to say.

"This matter has long surpassed the meaning itself." Wu Xie said.

The world has changed, this time he just wants to be himself.

For the last time, he summoned the pawnshop shopkeeper who had been sleeping for ten years in his heart to do something emotional.Even if there is only one ten-thousandth hope, Zhang Qiling is in this mountain, so whether it is life or death... In life, he will take him back, in death, he will stay with him.

Before leaving Jinling, Wu Xie went back to Wu Shandang, and even explained the funeral, the fat man knew about it long ago.He glanced at the sky, then lowered his head and sighed again.

"Boss, come and see here!"

Deep in the gap, someone suddenly shouted: "Someone has been here!"

Wu Xie stood up, shook off the sentimentality just now, ordered in a cold voice, "Copy guys, be smart", and then walked towards the place pointed by the man.

It was a hole that could only accommodate one person, and there seemed to be another world inside.But looking at the traces of the soil at the entrance of the cave, someone has indeed entered and exited.

"Will anyone be in there?" asked the man.

Wu Xie pursed her lips: "Go in and have a look."

The footprints are new, and people should not have gone down the mountain yet.

A guy jumped down first, the bottom is not high, it is a natural hollow.

"Boss, there is no one below..." Just after finishing speaking, the man gave a strange cry, "No, there is someone, there is!"

The fat man couldn't bear it any longer: "Is there someone or someone? Why can't you speak well?"

The guy seemed to be taken aback by something, but he calmed down immediately: "There is someone, but not a living person, but a dead person... It seems that he has been dead for a long time."

Fatty didn't think well, and if he tried to stop someone, it was already a step too late, and Wu Xie jumped down as soon as he got short.

"Naive! Hey... You guys stay on top, don't all go down!" After the fat man finished speaking, he also went down, and was hit by a stone because of his waistline, which hurt.

Wu Xie walked to the place pointed by the buddy, took the torch, and saw that there was indeed a person lying in the depths, dressed in black, it was...

As soon as the fat man landed, he saw Wu Xie rushing towards the dead man, and hurriedly followed him. Before he could speak, he heard Wu Xie say, "This is not my little brother."

The tone is firm and calm.

Wu Xie was not as crazy as the fat man imagined, but just stared at the dead man for a while without saying a word.

"Although this man is dressed very much like my brother, but judging by his teeth, he is at least in his 70s." Although Wu Xie didn't know how old my brother was, but my brother's teeth must be better than his, it's so good.

"Then why did this person dress like this and die here?" Fatty thought it was a bit strange, as if it was specially arranged like this to wait for them here.

Wu Xie stood up, thought for a while, then raised the torch to shine around.

While watching, he asked the waistcoat: "When I left the Central Plains, Wang Meng didn't come to see me off. Do you know what he did?"

"It seems that he was taken away by the black blind man to solve something. By the way, about Su Wan, Su Wan has a very bad friend named Li Cu. When something happened, Wang Meng went to the local area to negotiate and find someone."

Wang Meng has followed Wu Xie for these years, and he has a certain reputation in the Jianghu. The general powers in the land will sell him a little bit of face.

Wu Xie snorted coldly: "Is he the one to do this? Go to Su Wan for half a month?"

Fatty noticed something: "What's wrong with that kid?"

"Looking for death," Wu Xie handed the torch to the buddy, and kicked against the wall: "Come out!"

Wu Xie kicked so hard that the dregs on the wall fell straight down.

The fat man immediately heard that the voice was wrong.

This is not a fucking stone, this is the sound of wood.No, Hei Bulong Dong didn't see clearly just now, but now everyone discovered that this wall is not fake at all, it is mud plastered with wooden boards.

Wu Xie kicked it over, and the people inside were shaken by the falling soil, and rolled out one by two.There is Wang Meng, the chief executive of the martial arts who is said to be "helping Su Wan".

"Wu Xie! You're almost fucking done!"

Wang Meng rolled out grumbling, probably out of breath, and became more courageous, pointing at Wu Xie and cursing.

Wu Xie laughed angrily, and pointed to the corpse next to him: "You are so boring. Wang Meng, don't make me laugh when you are so serious."

Wang Meng wiped his face, it was dark, his nose was mixed with mud, it was even more ridiculous.

"Wu Xie, you do your own thing! You ran from the Central Plains to Changbai Mountain to seek death, don't drag others down! What's your ability to leave all the messy things in the rivers and lakes to me? I'm just working for you, and I don't have to do it for you." You risk your life!"

Wu Xie glanced at him, the smile disappeared, and the whole person looked a little gloomy.

"Wang Meng, go back and do what you should do. This matter ends here, and you will not be able to gain a foothold in the future if others see you." He looked at the corpse on the ground and shook his head, "Don't make me feel that I entrust the funeral to you I'm a silly X."

Wang Meng gritted his teeth, raised the torch, and said, "Wu Xie, I planted explosives here, you leave now, or I will blow you up immediately."

Wu Xie's original impatient expression suddenly changed, and the smell of gunpowder spread into his nose: "Did you really bury explosives?!"

Seeing Wu Xie was shocked, Wang Meng was a little proud, and wagged his tail: "You know you are afraid? You still don't listen to me!"

Wu Xie took a deep breath, and cursed loudly: "Silly X! Don't run away!"

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang from the depths of the cave.

This gap was discovered by ginseng pickers, and then it became a place for climbers to stop and spend the night.The reason why it can avoid the wind and snow here is because the ground here is warm.

It is said that there are hot springs buried underground here, but the springs are deeper in the crevice, which is no longer safe for climbers, and no one really explores it.

The structure of this place is not very stable. Wang Meng led his men to chisel the walls, and planted explosives.Wu Xie didn't know where Wang Meng buried the explosives. Anyway, the explosives were detonated by the pressure.

I don't know where this kid got the cheap stuff. He dare not use this kind of gunpowder that doesn't see sparks.He still dared to bring it to the mountains, and he really let him bring it up alive.

After the explosion, the cave began to shake, but the entrance of the cave was too small, and everyone could only climb out one by one.When they all climbed back to the ground, the bottom had collapsed into a huge pit.As a result, the gap was opened a big hole, and the blizzard poured straight in, and the fire was extinguished almost instantly.

The wind and snow had lightened a lot, but this place couldn't stay any longer, and no one could have a good rest today.

Thanks to the insufficient amount of gunpowder released by Wang Meng, otherwise they would all be buried right now.

Wu Xie said to Wang Meng with a gloomy face, "Hurry up, get out!"

When the turmoil subsided, Wang Meng also knew that he had caused trouble, but looking at Wu Xie's excited eyes was a little complicated.He looked at his people, who were injured and crippled, gritted his teeth and said, "Go down the mountain!"

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the wind and snow gradually subsided.

Before Wang Meng left, he said harshly: "Wu Xie, wait! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Looking at Wang Meng's team that was miserable and leaving with some strange heroism, the fat man thought for a while and said, "The reason why that kid got this corpse is to..."

Wu Xie turned and walked away.

"Everyone rests, let's go on the road at dawn."

After speaking, he walked deep into the gap. When the cave collapsed just now, he seemed to smell another smell, and now he wants to confirm it again.
