Chapter 75 Raven Hill
"Yu Erxia, Zhang Sixia, there is news." The shopkeeper hurried back from outside, pushed the door open and wiped the sweat.
"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, drink a little water first and then breathe slowly." Zhang Songxi turned over a glass of water and handed it over.
The shopkeeper took the thanks and took a few sips. He gasped and said, "Two heroes, I have asked about it with a few people from the nearby hotel just now. It's true that you said there is a couple who live in the 'Yuelai Inn'."
When Yu and Zhang heard this, they were shocked. Yu Lianzhou asked, "Shopkeeper, please be more specific."
"Two heroes, I have brought the shopkeeper Qian from Yuelai Inn here and are waiting outside. If you have any questions, please ask him directly." The shopkeeper said.
"It's better that the shopkeeper is thoughtful, please bring him in." Zhang Songxi, the shopkeeper responded and called out.
Not long after, a person came in, and he was quite fat. He said politely: "I have met Yu Erxia and Zhang Sixia. My surname is Qian. He is the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn. Just now, the shopkeeper of Zhanglai Inn said that you two call me here and have something to ask, please ask."
Yu Lianzhou said: "You don't have to be polite to Manager Qian. Some things Mr. Zhao must have asked you. Manager Qian may describe how the two of them look, how they are, and when they will move in."
Manager Qian thought for a while and said, "These two people moved in the afternoon of the previous day. The man was very handsome, with a tall nose and long eyes, about sixteen or seventeen years old. The woman was also very beautiful, and she couldn't tell her age, but she shouldn't be too young, with a little white face, and she seemed to be seriously ill." After that, she also measured the height and shortness of the two with her hands.
"Second Brother, isn't it the person we are looking for?" Zhang Songxi asked.
"The check-in time is similar, and the appearance and body shape are also in line with each other, so it should be almost the same." Yu Lianzhou replied, and asked Manager Qian again: "Manager Qian, what are they doing these two days?"
"There is no movement. The woman has never left the room since she checked in. The young man went out before dawn yesterday morning and came back around 1 o'clock in the morning. He went out again early this morning and had not come back yet. Well, it seems that he was heading towards Wudang Mountain. This man has a very beautiful face, so the old man was a little careful." said Manager Qian.
Yu Lianzhou thought to himself: "Akigi was killed yesterday morning. Time is the right time to go out. He went to Wudang again today. I wonder if he wanted to harm my Wudang disciple again."
Thinking of this, looking at Zhang Songxi with a sad face, Zhang Songxi was also a person with agility, so he could naturally guess what Yu Lianzhou was thinking, so he said, "Senior Brother, let's do it, I will go to Yuelai Inn with Manager Qian, and I will look at that woman. Go back to the mountain quickly and put all the disciples back to the mountain gate."
"Okay, junior brother, just make this arrangement, be careful yourself." Both of them were thrilling and determined, and decided on the plan. Zhang Songxi followed Manager Qian and Yu Lianzhou went back to the mountain alone.
...
Qingfeng, Mingyue was sweating heavily and panting. Mingyue said in a panting breath: "Xianyun, Lingxiao, it's your turn. I've been walking for half an hour and can't walk anymore."
Yu Daiyan ordered several people to carry him to Wudang Mountain to find precious herbs such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to test the catalytic effect of metamorphosis on herbs. However, although there are many herbs in Wudang Mountain, they are not as numerous as the streets. It takes luck to encounter good things like ginseng. In addition, Yu Daiyan was inconvenient, and the journey to find medicine was dragged a lot. As a result, after more than half an hour, everyone got nothing.
"Mingyue, your cultivation is still a little short of that." Yu Daiyan smiled, "Look at Qingfeng, he is better than you. Xianyun and Lingxiao, you two have changed."
Xianyun, Lingxiao took the breeze and the soft couch on Mingyue's hand, Zhou Tiansheng asked: "Master, where is this? Why are there so many crows?"
But I saw the surrounding pine and cypress shade, which was a little gloomy, and the crows were roaring one after another, and the black figures rushed around the forest, like the underworld. Only a little bit of sunshine shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, bringing some color of the sun.
Zhou Zhiruo was a little scared at this time. She tightly held Zhou Tiansheng's sleeve and refused to relax at all. The mountains and forests were indeed a bit gloomy and terrifying. No matter how smart she was, she was still a little girl, and she was terrified and naturally she felt terrified.
"This place is called Crow Ridge, which is where crows gather in the entire Wudang Mountain. I'm afraid there are thousands or tens of thousands of crows gathering here." Yu Daiyan said, "Is Zhiruo afraid?"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded pitifully, and Yu Daiyan said in a silence: "Zhiruo doesn't have to be afraid. Crows elsewhere are ominous birds to repay their demise. The crows in our Wudang Mountain are contaminated by the immortal spirit of the Zhenwu Emperor. They are not ordinary crows, but divine birds."
Zhou Tian was in a state of interest: "Master, what is the saying of the crows in our Wudang Mountain?"
"Of course there is. It's no wonder that you go up the mountain and the sun is shallow. We don't know. Let's talk while walking." Yu Daiyan said, "It is said that when Emperor Zhenwu was practicing in Wudang Mountain, he was often lost because of the dense trees and deep forests. At this time, there were crows accompanying him in the air to guide him. After Emperor Zhenwu achieved enlightenment and ascend to heaven, he appointed crows as gods. Therefore, we in Wudang Mountain use crows as divine beasts. Have you ever noticed the statue of Xuanwu Emperor? The divine bird on his right shoulder is a crow."
"Uncle Master, when we used to go to Crow Ridge to play, we often brought some snacks. When we sprinkled into the sky, we immediately gathered the crows and flew up and down, which looked very beautiful." Mingyue praised, "I want me to tell you, the crows in Wudang Mountain are indeed much smarter than those elsewhere. What a pity, I'm so anxious that I didn't bring food today. Uncle Master, you can't see such a wonderful scene." Mingyue looked regretful.
"Mingyue said it well. My teacher and your uncles and uncles used to come here to feed crows. The crows here are indeed very supernatural. Also, this 'crow scene' is also a great victory in our Wudang, so you must know it." Yu Daiyan said.
At this moment, a white shadow flashed across the corner of Zhou Tiansheng's eyes. He turned around and saw a white crow flying up to the treetops not far away. He suddenly asked, "Master, have you seen a white crow over the years?"
"White Crow, I have seen it, but I have rarely had any chances. I saw it in your yard this morning." Yu Daiyan said, "Didn't you see it?"
Qingfeng shook his head, only Zhou Tiansheng smiled but didn't say anything. Zhou Zhiruo suddenly pinched Zhou Tiansheng's arm and twisted it around. He was so painful that he sucked in a cold air and said angrily: "Zhiruo, what are you doing?!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiruo also looked angry: "Brother, he has never seen a white crow at such a big age. You don't tell me if you see it!"
Zhou Tiansheng could only smile bitterly when he got on the stall. How could I know that you didn’t see such a obvious white crow? But what happened to the white crow? Isn’t it just a bird?
"The white crow is the legendary Ren bird. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Wen of Jin burned the woods and looked for Jie Zitui. A white crow sang around the fireworks, which led to Jie Zitui, and sometimes stopped beside Jie Zitui, so that the fire could not burn him. However, Jie Zitui was accidentally burned to death. After that, there was no net to catch birds within a hundred miles of the mountain, and the white crow was also called Ren birds." Yu Daiyan said, "Why did you suddenly think of the white crow?"
