Chapter 25 Chengdu Shu Road was followed by others

Yin Zhiping stayed in Changshou Temple for half a day and said something to Zhuang Zhifeng, revealing the reason for his disappearance for a year. Of course, it was the lies he compiled in advance to explain. Zhuang Zhifeng did not doubt that he had. He only said that the head sect and Changchun sect had a lot of concern after learning about his disappearance. He sent his disciples to search for him and asked him to go back to the mountain as soon as possible.

Yin Zhiping said: "I just came out of Wushan and now I am going to take fellow Daoist Li back to the mountain to report my mission. I came to find Senior Brother Zhuang first, because I wanted to write a letter to let Senior Brother Zhuang send his disciples back to Chongyang Palace first, so that my master and several masters will rest assured. I took fellow Daoist Li and then rushed back to the mountain."

Zhuang Zhifeng said: "Junior Brother Yin is thoughtful and wants to send a message first and report safety to go back so that the real people can rest assured." He immediately ordered the disciples who were serving beside him to pick up the four treasures of the study and asked Yin Zhiping to write a letter.

The disciple took it in a moment, placed it on the table next to Yin Zhiping, poured some clear water into the inkstone, and grind the ink for Yin Zhiping.

Yin Zhiping thought for a moment, thought about the words, and did not avoid anyone. After dipping ink, he wrote at his desk. After a while, he wrote two pages of letter paper and put them in. Without saying anything else in the letter, he mainly explained the reason for his disappearance for a year and was now in Chongqing, so he was going back to the mountain immediately. It would take more than a month to arrive. Please rest assured.

After writing, he blew dry the ink marks on the letter, folded them into the envelope beside him, sealed them with a hot paint, and then took his seal from the leather bag on the waist and stamped it on the hot paint. Then he wrote on the envelope: "The headma Zhenren and his mentor Qiu Zhenren are in person, and his disciple Yin Zhiping is on the court."

After writing it, he handed it to the disciple who served Bimo beside him. He said to Zhuang Zhifeng: "The letter has been written. Please send the disciple back to Benshan as soon as possible."

Zhuang Zhifeng looked at the disciple who was about to come over and forward the letter to him. He ordered: "Qingxing, don't give it to me. You can hand over the letter to you Senior Brother Song, pass on my life, and let him leave immediately and send the letter back to Benshan as soon as possible."

"Yes." The disciple of Faming Qingxing responded respectfully, turned around and left.

Yin Zhiping thanked Zhuang Zhifeng and told him some gossip. After asking about the changes in the Quanzhen Sect over the past year, he stopped staying and stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving Changshou Temple, the two of them returned to Chongqing Prefecture, and then hired a ship at the wharf and placed it straight down to Luzhou, where the Yangtze River and Tuojiang River converge.

Luzhou is a big city along this section of the Yangtze River between Chongqing Prefecture and Rongzhou, and it is also a famous wine-producing place. Later generations of Luzhou Laojiao and Langjiu were produced here. However, Yin Zhiping was not a person who likes wine, and he has no special feelings for such wine-producing places.

He came to Luzhou because it was the intersection of Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River. After the ship arrived in Luzhou, the two of them stopped in Luzhou without getting off the boat, so they asked the boatman to turn the boat into Tuojiang River at the intersection of the two rivers, and then walked up the Tuojiang River to Chengdu.

The main transportation routes from Sichuan to Shaanxi are mainly several Shu roads. As the name suggests, Shu road is the road to Shu. But there are no roads in other provinces and regions in the world, but why don’t you see other regions such as Shaanxi, Henan has exclusively known as Qin Road, Yu Road, etc., but Sichuan’s roads are known as Shu Road. Moreover, the world is famous. Even the great poet Li Bai wrote a poem "The Road of Shu is Difficult". The poem says that "The Road of Shu is Difficult than the Sky". The word Shu Road has become synonymous with places where roads are difficult to walk.

The reason why Shu Road is famous all over the world is its difficulty and danger. Shu Road is not an ordinary earth and stone road, but an air-filled plank road built along cliffs. Some ridge-shaped holes are made of using objects on cliffs, wooden stakes are inserted into the holes to make beams, and then wooden boards are laid across it.

Shu is surrounded by mountains, and it is mostly difficult and dangerous peaks, with deep gullies and no way to pass through. With the technological power of the ancients, it is difficult for such places to pass through mountains and open roads and build bridges. Therefore, this kind of spiral plank road was invented for traffic.

The most representative and most dangerous among the Shu Road is the Jianmen Shu Road from Chengdu to Hanzhong, also known as Jiange Road, Jinniu Road, Nanzhan, etc. Later generations said that Sichuan had four wonders, namely the wonders of Jiuzhai, the beauty of Emei, the secludedness of Qingcheng, and the danger of Jianmen. Li Bai's poem "The Dao of Shu" is about this sword path.

Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou went to Chengdu to return to Shaanxi through this Shu road.

The boat sailed for four days and arrived in Chengdu. The two stayed in Chengdu for one day, left Chengdu the next day, set foot on the Shu Road, and headed for Shaanxi.

But not far from Chengdu City, the two suddenly found someone following behind them. They looked at each other, quietly changing their paths, heading to remote places. Then they suddenly used their light skills to practice for a while, and then hid in a big tree.

Soon, I saw two people chasing them with their light skills on the way when they came. When they chased them nearby, they suddenly found that Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou had disappeared. They stopped and searched around.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of branches above my head. I looked up, but saw two gray and yellow figures flashing. Before I could see clearly, I saw a cold light suddenly rising. The two of them had a cold neck and were each covered with a long sword. At this time, I looked closely, but I saw that the two targets they were tracking with the long sword on their necks.

Yin Zhiping looked at the two people in front of him, but saw that they were all in their thirties, medium-sized and average in appearance, and there was nothing surprising about them. He had no impression of the two people in his mind, and he didn't know when or where he messed with them. He asked, "Who are you, why are you following us?"

The two looked at each other and kept silent.

Li Mochou suddenly had a nose twitch and said, "No need to ask, I know who they are. They are thieves from the Five Poisons Sect." After that, he wanted to kill the disciple of the Five Poisons Sect under her sword.

When the two of them heard this, their faces changed drastically. They quickly tilted their heads, avoided the sword on their necks, pulled back, and raised their hands at the same time, and four poisonous sands were spilled out.

Yin Zhiping quickly closed his breath, pulled back, avoiding the area covered by poisonous sand. However, Li Mochou raised his sleeves, swung away the poisonous sand in front of him, and went in. The long sword flashed coldly, but when he heard two screams, the two disciples of the Five Poison Sect had been stabbed to the ground by Li Mochou.

Li Mochou had fought against the Five Poisons Sect in his early years and had a lot of knowledge about the Five Poisons Sect's methods. He knew that as long as the poisonous sand was not inhaled or touched the skin, there would be no problem. After waving the poisonous sand with his sleeves, he would not retreat but advance.

However, Yin Zhiping did not understand the methods of the Five Poisons Sect. He only knew that the Five Poisons Sect was powerful in using poison and Gu. Seeing that the two of them sprinkled out poison sand, they did not dare to try lightly, so they retreated and avoided them first. Seeing that Li Mochou did not retreat but advanced, they were also shocked. He hurriedly walked around outside the range covered by poison sand. Before he could get around, he heard two screams. The two disciples of the Five Poisons Sect had been stabbed to the ground by Li Mochou.

When they arrived beside Li Mochou, they looked down and saw that the two disciples of the Five Poison Sect were not dead. However, they both got a sword on their left and right shoulders, stabbing them at the important tendons that were connected to their arms. Both hands were temporarily invalidated and could not move.

Li Mochou made the sword very fast. Although he stabbed each of his two shoulders, the two disciples of the Five Poison Sect felt pain in their left and right shoulders at the same time, and they were stabbed almost at the same time, so only one screamed, and two sounds in total.

Li Mochou pointed at the two people underground and shouted, "When will you keep up with us, how many people are there behind?"

The two looked at each other and snorted in pain, but kept silent.

Li Mochou snorted coldly, and the sword light flashed, and cut off one of the left ears of the disciples of the Five Poisons on the left, and said with a frosty mask: "You answer me honestly. I will let you both die happily, otherwise I will cut off your ears and noses one by one. I will also pluck out your eyes, and then stamp your hands and feet, so that you will be worse than death."

She failed to become a couple with Lu Zhanyuan back then, but He Yuanjun took the opportunity to get a chance and took the love from a sword, which can be said to have a lot to do with the Five Poisons Cult. If the Five Poisons Cult had not poisoned them and let Lu Zhanyuan get poisoned, she would not have taken Lu Zhanyuan back to Wusantong's house; nor would she leave Lu Zhanyuan to take care of Wu Sanniang and He Yuanjun. She went to the branch of the Five Poisons Cult to seize the antidote; naturally, He Yuanjun would not have the opportunity to take advantage of Lu Zhanyuan's opportunity to detoxify and take the initiative to sacrifice herself, cook the raw rice into cooked rice, and take the lead.

Because of this, she really hated the Five Poison Sect. When she learned in Dali that Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun were a couple and left together, she took the anger on the Five Poison Sect and singled out the altar of the Five Poison Sect and burned it to the white ground with a fire. After she walked around the world, she would immediately kill the disciples of the Five Poison Sect. Now she did not kill the two immediately, and she was already merciless, but the meaning in her words was even more ruthless.

Yin Zhi didn't expect Li Mochou to suddenly cut off his sword and cut one of the ears of the Five Poisons disciples. Although he knew Li Mochou's hatred for the Five Poisons Cult and knew that there was no good person in the Five Poisons Cult, he still looked down on such a disabled person's body. He couldn't help but frown, stepped forward, stopped Li Mochou, and said to the two Five Poisons disciples underground: "You guys are so happy, I'll give you some fun, so as not to suffer before death and torture."

The two disciples of the Five Poison Sect may have been really scared by Li Mochou's words. They looked at each other and shouted with their ears cut, "Okay, it's okay to tell you, anyway, you two can't live long and can't escape the pursuit of our leader." Then they said something.

The reason for the incident starts with Wushan, which is that he came out of the cave of the goddess of Wushan that day. In fact, it had been a year outside. He waited in the bamboo building for a long time and refused to return. In an anxious mood, he whistled and called Li Mochou, but first attracted the three disciples of the Five Poison Sect who were searching for Li Mochou in the mountains.

The older one of the three people on that day said that one of them went to Wushan to collect herbs and met Li Mochou and Sister Zhao in the mountains. But because he was alone at that time, he knew that he was not Li Mochou's opponent, so he just hid aside and watched without taking any risk. Although he later followed Li Mochou and Sister Zhao and wanted to know where they were going, he did not follow him for a while and lost it.

After he returned, he reported to the owner of the Pengshui branch he belonged to. The owner sent someone to send the news back to the main hall, and sent three people including him to search for Li Mochou's traces in Wushan. Later, the three people lost their news and did not turn around. The owner knew that the three of them were most unlucky. He later sent additional people to Wushan to search, but Wushan was too big, and they searched for it for a few days, but in a short period of time they failed to search.

On the other hand, the news came back to the main hall. The leader of the sect, Lan Scorpion Dragon, attached great importance to it. He personally led the sect's good players to arrive in Sichuan, hoping to kill Li Mochou, the great enemy, to avenge the destruction of the Dali branch that year, and to regain the "Five Poisons Secrets" that Li Mochou robbed.

The forces of the Five Poisons Sect are mainly in the southwest, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. After Li Mochou destroyed the Dali altar, he never returned to Dali. Later, he has been active in the Central Plains, Jiangnan and other areas. Although the Five Poisons Sect is eager to seek revenge on Li Mochou, they are far from reaching outside the sphere of influence in the Central Plains, Jiangnan and other places. Although they have sent their disciples to the Central Plains, Jiangnan and other places in recent years to search for Li Mochou’s traces, they have always heard of Li Mochou’s news in the world, but they cannot find Li Mochou’s people.

Suddenly, he received news from the Pengshui Branch that Li Mochou appeared in Wushan. The Blue Scorpion Dragon was overjoyed and wanted to take advantage of Li Mochou's opportunity in Sichuan to kill Li Mochou, the big enemy. While he ordered the Pengshui Branch to search for Li Mochou's traces, he personally led the experts from the sect to come to Sichuan to take charge.

But when he led people to Sichuan, Li Mochou had already disguised himself as Yin Zhiping and left Wushan and set off for Dali.

After the Blue Scorpion Dragon led people to the Pengshui branch, he sent people to Wushan to find Li Mochou's traces. However, after finally finding the bamboo building where Li Mochou lived in seclusion, the building was already empty.

The Blue Scorpion Dragon judged that this was Li Mochou's seclusion place. He led his people to wait here for a few days, but Li Mochou still did not return. When he sent people to find out the news about Li Mochou's previous appearance nearby, he realized that Li Mochou had lived in Wushan for a long time.

After finally getting the traces of Li Mochou, the Blue Scorpion Dragon refused to give up easily. While sending people to search for the traces of Li Mochou throughout Sichuan, a special drug was placed in the bamboo building. This drug is non-toxic and harmless, colorless and tasteless, but it can be attached to the object for up to three months. Through a special insect, the breath of this drug can be traced within three miles.

The Blue Scorpion Dragon had the idea that Li Mochou might come back and put this special medicine in the bamboo building. If Li Mochou returned here within three months, as long as he stayed in the bamboo building for a while, the medicine would be contaminated on his clothes, which could be traced to them.

Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou did return to the bamboo building in Wushan within three months, and they were unknowingly infected with the drug. Although they only stayed in Wushan for one night and then went down the mountain, they were still discovered by the insects on the bodies of two disciples of the Five Poison Sect who had been sent by the Blue Scorpion Dragon to wait near Wushan for a long time. These two disciples of the Five Poison Sect are the two in front of them.

However, Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou did not stop all the way. These two disciples of the Five Poison Sect could only follow them and leave marks along the way. On the other hand, they sent back news to the Pengshui branch hall, and the leader Lan Scorpion Dragon remained here to stay in the branch hall. It was not until Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou arrived in Chengdu that they both caught up.

They had been hanging far behind before, and could not catch up with Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou, and they didn't even see their figures. They finally caught up with them now, but they accidentally caught up, but were discovered by Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou.
