It was night, the rest are basically rested, Niu You Dao observed a line of people and horses defense and security arrangements. Although the five hundred people and horses are taking turns to rest and guard, but it looks like, it is estimated that within a few miles of any abnormalities difficult to escape the detection of this side, he was also relieved some.

Inside a tent, the curtain opened a gap, Blue Ruoting stared at Niu You Dao's actions after careful observation, a faint smile, muttering to himself: "a little interesting ..."

Niu YouDao, who had skipped a little, went back to his tent, took out the letter, and by the light of the campfire outside, drew his sword and carefully opened the seal with the blade of his sword, and took out the paper inside and turned it over and over, but it was a white sheet of paper, and not even an ink dot could be seen.

After repeatedly looking at the campfire outside, and then put the paper in front of his nose and repeatedly sniffed, and finally also stretched out the tip of his tongue in the paper licked a pass, smashing and tasting a taste. He was worried about what drugs were used to hide the handwriting, this lick, everything is clear, but it is a fake letter.

"Xiao Nan Shan Nanshan Temple presided over Guangyi County... It seems that old Tu's warning is not aimless, but really wants to hurt Lao Tzu, really think I am a fool..." Niu You Dao muttered to himself and frowned, thinking that if he was really the Shangqing Sect made a haunting words, afraid of trouble, after all, he still does not know the depth of many things.

After repeatedly thinking, the heart has a plan, and will be folded white paper, and put back into the envelope ......

The next morning, just after dawn, the people ate something ready to go.

The tents were pitched and received, the horses were fed and sent over, nothing needed to be managed by Niu You Dao, everything was well taken care of, obviously a group of well-trained guys.

The team set off again, rumbling and galloping, Niu You Dao noticed a difference from yesterday, no one had pinned him in the middle of the group to watch him.

After running some distance, Niu You Dao suddenly ran ahead of the three Shang Chaozong in a line.

The three looked at him and Niu You Dao casually found a topic, "Your Majesty, with your status, do you have only 500 men and horses around you?"

Shang Chaozong said, "With my king's rank, without an official position, according to the ancestral system, only five hundred personal guards are allowed."

"Oh! So that's how it is." Niu You Dao nodded, in fact, is to find a stubble, after finishing it, rely on the front row not to retreat, follow the back to eat dust how uncomfortable.

Blue Ruoting suddenly smiled and asked, "Forgive the shallow knowledge of Blue, dare to ask the mage, I do not know where the five mausoleum tomb is?"

"Uh..." Niu You Dao immediately realized and their own peach blossom poetry, could not help but look at Shang Shuqing, but people cover their faces, can not see the reaction, look is also a waste of time, so he said: "I made it up "

This explanation really let Blue Ruoting speechless, and then asked Niu You Dao about Shangqing Sect, Niu You Dao although in Shangqing Sect for a few years, but do not know anything at all, all to 'a word difficult to say' to pass.

In fact, what he said is the truth, but in Blue Ruoting and other people's view, this guy did not have a word of truth!

Half a morning passed, through the mountains, over the wilderness, the road and then smooth to the river, looking at the scenery along the way, Niu You Dao look gradually reveal thoughtful memories.

It was not until three old trees appeared side by side at the foot of the mountains on the other side of the river that Niu You Dao confirmed that the mountain village that he left five years ago should not be far away.

The river direction began to meander into the mountains, almost to a path leading to the mountains ahead, Niu You Dao suddenly turned back and said, "Your Majesty, can we stop at the junction ahead?"

Shang Chaozong raised his hand and one by one, the horses and men stopped with the reins.

Shang Chaozong asked, "Is there something wrong with the mage?"

Niu You Dao raised his whip and pointed to a side road, "not to hide from the king, there is a mountain village here, is exactly where I came from, I left as a child, have not been back, want to go back to see how it is, will not take too long, can you please wait for me."

Shang Chaozong looked at Blue Ruoting, with the intention of seeking advice.

Blue Ruoting looked around and smiled, "In that case, Your Majesty, why don't you go together and see what a beautiful place is where the mage can come out."

Shang Chaozong heard the meaning of his words and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to explore Niu You Dao's bottom line, nodded and said, "Good!"

Niu You Dao knew it by heart, and did not bother to explain anything, smiling back, "Poor mountain nest, just afraid that the king disliked."

"Go!" Shang Chaozong raised his whip and pointed, immediately a few outposts ran to explore the road, the others followed at a leisurely pace.

Through the mountains and forests, without being told, men on the right and left began to draw their crossbows, or seized their weapons, and kept their eyes open. Niu You Dao looked back at the men. He could tell that these men were not ordinary sergeants. They had a lot of experience.

"Shhh...shhh...shhh."

Niu You Dao seemed to be touched by electricity and looked in the direction of the bird's song with wide eyes.

"Majesty, this bird's call is not proper."

Someone among the guards suddenly raised a voice to warn, Shang Chaozong and others immediately stopped their horses and were on high alert around.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

There are people and horses to protect Shang Chaozong and others, but also some people began to pin Niu You Dao in the middle, the bow has been hidden towards him, eyeing the tiger, seems to take Niu You Dao as a deliberate lure them into a trap or something, once the wrong at any time to attack.

"Shhhh...shhhh."

In the distance came the faint sound of birdsong again.

Niu You Dao immediately looked excited, eyes searching around, also handful of lips "shhh...shhh...shhh" learned three bird calls.

The surrounding area fell into silence, and only after a while, there were two more "shhh...shhh" bird calls.

Niu You Dao immediately eyes glowing, ignoring the threats around him at any time, shouted: "Get out of the way!"

Blue Ruoting slightly silent, waved his hand, signaling the people and horses to get out of the way.

Niu You Dao directly long horse rushed out, ran out not far, and then stopped, "Shhh ......" again handful of lips issued a long bird song.

Then the original place to strangle the horse to turn around, constantly watching the surrounding.

It didn't take long for a figure to appear in the forest, a sturdy young man rushed to the halfway point of the mountain, stopping at a large tree, staring at Niu You Dao with wide eyes, not caring about the crossbow aimed at him.

Niu You Dao also looked at each other in disbelief, and the two of them just looked at each other endlessly, and Shang Chaozong and the others behind looked strange.

The stout young man was obviously very excited, his lips mumbled and trembled for a long time, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Dao... Master Dao, is that you?"

This long-lost 'Master Dao' two words, is really let Niu You Dao blood boiling!

Niu You Dao clenched his fist hard and closed his elbow, pointed at him fiercely, and said categorically with unusual excitement, "Monkey!"

The word 'monkey' also made the sturdy young man's emotions completely out of control, rushing down despite the thorns and jumping down on the mountain path.

Niu You Dao turned over and jumped off the horse, the two opened their arms and hugged each other tightly, patting each other's backs hard, that was simply more affectionate than a pair of lovers in love.

Blue Ruoting and others almost goose bumps, but it is to see, this Niu You Dao from the meeting can be seen is a calm and calm people, quite spontaneous, now actually so out of shape, it can be seen is to meet the friendship of an extraordinary old friend.

But a few people around the guard did not dare to relax their vigilance, high alert around, to now if not understand that the so-called bird call is someone in the signal is strange. And one thing is very sure, Niu You Dao on this bird call signal is also very familiar.

It is difficult for outsiders to understand the loneliness of the two people embracing each other in this world, it is a deep loneliness of the soul, and outsiders cannot understand their friendship.

When both emotions stabilized, the two pushed away from each other to look at each other, eyes full of too many too many feelings.

Seeing the monkey's masculine block, and the height is actually higher than their own half head, think about the monkey's previous 'monkey' nickname because of the skinny body, Niu You Dao suddenly laughed and leaned back.

The monkey just out of control situation has disappeared, seems to have returned to the old expressionless indifferent look, cool!

Some of the bones from the soul can not be changed.

"Master Dao, what are you laughing at?" Monkey asked the voice.

Niu You Dao shook his head lol: "Don't you think there's something wrong with your current figure?"

The monkey froze for a moment, meaning something, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, representing himself also felt funny.

Holding down the laugh, Niu You Dao wondered, "Why are you here? I think I saw you escape into the tunnel."

Monkey calmly said: "Not into the tunnel may still have a chance to live."

Niu You Dao was stunned: "What does that mean?"

Monkey: "The whole tunnel collapsed, I have no place to hide."

"......" Niu You Dao speechless, thought the other party ran fast, did not expect to end up worse, sighed, nudged in the direction of the end of the mountain road, asked: "You also emerged from that small temple village? "

The monkey nodded and asked, "Are you Niu You Dao?"

Niu You Dao was happy, "How do you know?"

Monkey: "After I woke up and found that I had been hit by an arrow, I realized that the village had been sacked by bandit soldiers not long ago. When recuperating, I heard that there was a Niu You Dao in the village became a little strange, and with a fool to ask the village people to ask questions, said the same as I do not seem to remember anything, when the village left the village village people do not know. I reacted at that time, should be Master Dao you, naive I was very badly injured body, so not go to you, also do not know where to find you."

Shang Chaozong and others looked this way, a little far away, could not hear what the two were saying.

Niu You Dao nodded in silence and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, "I always thought you got away then, I didn't expect you to come too, otherwise I wouldn't have left Little Temple Village alone."

Monkey just one word, "understand!"

This one word is enough, Niu You Dao also do not explain more, with hands looking around the mountains and forests, quite emotional sigh, and a little thankful, "Fortunately, I passed by here this time, thought I came to see those villagers, return some favors, otherwise I do not know when to meet you again. By the way, with your skills, how can this mountain village keep you, you have not thought of going to the outside world to see? Who's the girl you knocked up?"
