Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, Zhong Jialei, and Bai Yunfeng returned to the barracks, and it was already afternoon at this time, and the snowflakes that had been drifting for half a day had stopped, and everyone who had been out for most of the day was a little tired. Since they had to pass by Hua Changyue and Lu Fang's residences to go back to the house, Jingyang wanted to go over and have a look, but Yi Qingfeng and Bai Yunfeng hurriedly went back to the house to rest, so they only had Zhong Jialei to accompany them.

The two walked into the yard, only to see that the snow inside had accumulated a thick layer, and Hua Changyue and Lu Fang were sweeping the snow with a bamboo broom. As he spoke, he handed over the broom.

Jingyang had to take it and said: "Lu Fang, you are really good, this is your way of hospitality, don't say let the tea let the wine go, but let us do the work first." ”

Lu Fang said: "You don't have to do some work, you look at the snow all over the ground, it is estimated that it began to rain last night, and when you finish the work, there will naturally be tea and fruit to serve, now don't talk nonsense, hurry up and work hard." ”

Zhong Jialei said with a smile: "I used to say that Senior Sister Hua was a witch, but now Senior Sister Hua has changed a lot, but you are getting more and more powerful." ”

Lu Fang said: "But that's all there is to let you sweep the snow, and I don't want to drink tea." ”

Jingyang hurriedly said: "Of course, you just have to be busy with you, and the snow clearing work here will be handed over to us." ”

The two of them swept hard for a while, and Lu Fang took the tea to the corridor and said, "The tea is ready, come and drink it while it's hot." ”

Jingyang and Zhong Jialei stepped forward and said, "It's so cold that your hands are all icy this day, so it's just time to drink some hot tea to warm up your body." ”

The four of them sat on a stool in the corridor and drank tea, and Hua Changyue said, "How do you think of coming over to take a look?"

Jingyang said: "Just now we came back from outside the city with Qingfeng and Yunfeng, and we happened to pass by, so we stopped by to take a look." ”

Lu Fang said: "What is the matter with you going up outside the city?"

Zhong Jialei said: "What's the matter, just because it suddenly snowed heavily today, so I went outside the city to see the snow scene, I wanted to go into the mountains to hunt a few prey by the way, but I didn't think that I didn't see a single prey, but the snow scene in the mountains is still quite good-looking, better than the city." ”

Lu Fang said: "You are idle enough, what is the snow scene in the mountains, it's not like that." ”

Jingyang said: "There is one thing and there is another, you didn't go, and you can't say it clearly, but it's better not to say it." ”

Hua Changyue said: "Not to mention the snow scene, what are you doing here?"

Jingyang said: "It's nothing, a few days ago, Master Xia led the disciples of Yaowutang back to the academy, I think Uncle Ye can't stay here for a long time, I don't know when you will return to the academy?"

Hua Changyue said: "Soon, just the matter of the past few days, today the master led us to Qingshui Nunnery, and on the way back, he said that he wanted to go back to the school, just because Master Yuanrong was not in good health recently, so the master only stayed for a few more days, and when the master was in better health, he would definitely go back." ”

Jingyang said: "If you want to say that everyone often gathers together, it's a pity that there is a banquet all over the world, in a few days I and Qingfeng, Jia Lei, and Yunfeng will also leave Wangxi City, once Yunfeng's home is in Mingcheng, he can't stay here for a long time, in addition, we are very yearning for the immortal path that the Xuanyuan City Lord said, as a person who practices martial arts, how can he not go to see it." ”

The four of them sat and chatted for a while, but talked about what had happened recently, and then the four of them swept the snow in the yard together, and the sky gradually darkened, and Jingyang and Zhong Jialei returned to their residence.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, during which Nanmen Liang really began to disband the redundant soldiers and horses in the generals one by one, and Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng and others also got busy. On this day, the work of reducing the number of soldiers and horses came to an end for the time being, and everyone was allowed to rest for a while. There has been no time to show their fists and feet, Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng and others inevitably have some skills, just at this time came a news, saying that a strange thing happened in Mucuo Village, a hundred miles away from Wangxi City, someone saw a strange beast appear in the mountains near there, it is said that the shape of this beast is like a horse, but it is slightly smaller than the average horse, the whole body is snow-white without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and the speed of running is extremely fast, like a gust of wind, and it is even said that this beast has been cultivated into a fine and can change.

For such a miraculous rumor, naturally some people scoffed at it and thought it was not credible, of course, some people thought it was true, among them, there were some martial artists with good strength to go to investigate, Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang, Zhong Jialei, Bai Yunfeng The four people had learned from Xuanyuan Feng that there were many spirit beasts on the way to the immortals, most of these spirit beasts were extraordinary and could change, so the four of them felt that the rumors might be credible, and after a total, the four decided to investigate.

The four of them immediately packed their bags and set off, and the journey was quite smooth, although the road to Mucuo Village was not spacious, and even a little rugged and difficult, but fortunately, the four of them set off lightly, except for some necessary belongings, they did not bring anything else, and the four of them went all the way over the mountains and mountains towards the destination.

In the blink of an eye it was almost noon, and they came to a river thirty or forty meters wide, and there was a wooden bridge over the river, but it had somehow been destroyed, and the whole bridge was broken from the middle, and the fracture was very smooth, as if someone had deliberately cut it with a sharp weapon.

Seeing that he could only wade across the river, Jingyang cursed: "Damn, who is so lacking in morality, a good bridge is destroyed." ”

Bai Yunfeng said: "There is a spirit beast in Mucuo Village, if the rumors are true, it will definitely attract all parties to flock to it, thinking that there must be some despicable and shameless people among them, it is not surprising that the act of destroying the bridge is not surprising." ”

Yi Qingfeng said: "What Yun Feng said is extremely true, since you can only wade forward, it is better to rest for a while in the open space on the side, and use some wine and food by the way, the river water is cold at this time, and it is not too late to go into the water when you are full of food and drink." So saying, the four of them found an open space on the side of the mountain road, sat on the ground, and ate and drank.

At this time, the sun is in the sky, the warm sunlight is sprinkled on the earth, sprinkled on the four people make people feel warm all over the body, in this cold winter is really a kind of enjoyment, the four of them eat and drink while showering in the baptism of warm sunshine. Suddenly, there seemed to be a noise in the distance, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a dozen strong men on horses arguing around seven or eight small traders a hundred meters away, and it seemed that there must have been some conflict.

Jingyang said: "Those strong men don't look like good people, arguing around those small traders, it shouldn't be some bad intentions, why don't we take a look?"

Zhong Jialei said: "Naturally, I want to go and see, it is not easy for those small traders and hawkers to do some small business, but don't let them be bullied by the wicked." Saying that, he rode over with Yi Qingfeng, Bai Yunfeng, and Jingyang.

As expected by the four of them, these dozen strong men were originally a small gang called "fangs" nearby, there were about more than 100 people up and down this sect, and the nest was in a nearby mountain.

These dozens of strong men are also going to Mu Cuo Village to inquire about the news of the spirit beast, the leader of the person called "Ma Face" Zheng Quan, they surrounded those small traders to grab some food and drink from them, these small traders also heard that many people have rushed to Mu Cuo Village recently, so they took the risk of selling some wine and food from the city, but just to make some silver taels, they knew that this trip may be dangerous, so they brought some knives before leaving.

The two sides quarreled for a while, how could the small traders let their hard-earned wine and food be handed over, they all held big knives in their hands and posed in an unyielding posture, Zheng Quanjian could not scare these small traders with only a bad word. It seemed that he could only do it, he slowly pulled out a long sword in his hand, and said with a slightly hideous expression on his face: "It seems that you are toasting and not eating and punishing wine, and it is not good to give you some powerful taste." As he spoke, the long sword in his hand stabbed fiercely at a man in front of him, and the man hurriedly raised his knife to resist, but after all, he was just an ordinary person, compared to Zheng Quan, a person who licked blood on the knife all year round, his strength was not half a bit.

With just one move, the man felt a pain in his hand, the big knife he was holding had almost flown out of his hand, he was so frightened that he retreated a few steps, and several companions on the side hurriedly rushed to help, they shouted angrily and pounced together, in the face of the joint attack of as many as seven or eight people, Zheng Quan was still at ease, he held the long sword and swayed freely, a series of weapon collisions sounded, and a group of traders couldn't help him at all, but were beaten by him and retreated.

The combined attack of the vendors obviously caused Zheng Quan to be furious, and he waved his big hand and said, "Everyone go up together, let these fools taste the power of our Poison Fang Sect." ”

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen strong men behind him rushed up and fought at the vendors, only to see bursts of knife light flashing, where could the vendors resist, only a few rounds were defeated, and a few people were even injured, and their bodies were overflowing with blood, which looked very terrifying. The vendors knew that they were not opponents, so they hurriedly threw down the wine and food they sold and fled, Zheng Quan laughed and said: "A bunch of fools who have no eyes, they still want to get along with our fangs, and they don't first see how many catties and taels they have." As he spoke, he and his subordinates brought the wine and food of the vendors to eat and drink, and the vendors who were hiding far away saw that the wine and food they had worked so hard to sell were eaten and drunk in vain by these wicked people, not to mention how sad they felt in their hearts.
