172 Sneak Attack

He Xian and Xuan Cheng looked at Shen Muzhi that something was wrong, He Xian was worried that he would appear in the previous situation again, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Muzhi looked at him, then at Xuan Cheng, and was a little hesitant in his heart. At the beginning, Xuan Cheng and He Xian knew that he was forced to jump into the lake without a way. But there were some things before jumping into the lake, but he didn't mention them.

I thought that these things would be buried in the dust over time and never be mentioned again, but I never thought that it would be such a coincidence today......

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Muzhi still said those things. However, he was seriously injured at that time, and his mind was not very clear, so his memory was a little blurry, and he could only say a rough idea based on a few scenes in his mind.

After hearing this, Xuan Cheng and He Xian glanced at each other, and after each smiled bitterly, He Xian raised his hand and patted Shen Muzhi on the shoulder, and said, "That person is to blame, and it is not a pity to die." You don't have to take it personally. ”

Shen Muzhi didn't feel guilty because he killed that person, not to mention, didn't he have fewer lives in his hands? If he felt guilty because of this, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

It's just that the middle-aged man's eyes when he looked at him just now touched his heart a little.

He smiled at He Xian and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, let's go. After He Xian finished speaking, the three of them continued to walk in the direction of Jinghu.

After not walking a few steps, Shen Muzhi remembered that Xuan Cheng said that the middle-aged man had a demon pill on his body just now, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked the two: "What is this demon pill?"

Xuan Cheng replied: "The demon pill is the inner pill transformed by the essence blood and demon power in the demon object. However, not all monsters have this kind of thing, only demons that have achieved cultivation will give birth to demon pills. Generally, the monsters that have given birth to the demon pill can be compared to the monk's Yunhai Realm. ”

Shen Muzhi was surprised: "Since it is such a precious thing, how could it be swallowed by that person for no reason?"

Xuan Cheng shrugged: "This is indeed a strange thing. As he spoke, Xuan Cheng looked at He Xian, although he didn't speak, the meaning of inquiry in his eyes was very obvious.

He Xian naturally felt it, and replied with a wry smile: "I also feel strange about this matter. There are indeed some monsters living in the Mirror Lake, but there will be no more than three that can give birth to demon pills. Moreover, the demon pill is very important to the monster, no less than life. Normally, even if this monster dies, it won't spit out the demon pill in vain. As he spoke, He Xian frowned.

After Shen Muzhi listened, he pondered for a while, and suddenly asked the two of them: "Then what will happen to this person after eating this demon pill?"

When the two of them heard this, their expressions suddenly turned to the side.

He Xian looked at Xuan Cheng, and his eyebrows were a little more solemn: "This person is weird." ”

Xuan Cheng also frowned, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Why don't I catch up and bring people back?"

He Xian thought for a while, and after glancing at Shen Mu, he said to Xuancheng: "Forget it, let's go back to the door first." ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Muzhi looked at the two of them like this, and his heart became more and more curious.

Xuan Cheng glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "The demonic power in the demon pill is different from the spiritual power in the monk's body. Not to mention ordinary people, even monks with a low realm, after swallowing the demon pill, they generally can't live for three days. ”

"Can't live for three days?" Shen Muzhi was surprised.

"Yes!" Xuan Cheng nodded: "But that person just now is the demon pill that he swallowed a few months ago." It stands to reason that he is an ordinary person without any spiritual power, and it is impossible for him to live for so long. ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he also felt that this matter was a little strange. After thinking for a while, he said, "This person seems to be from a village near Mirror Lake, why don't we go there and ask about the situation later?"

Xuan Cheng looked at He Xian.

He Xian thought for a moment and nodded: "It's okay." I'll go over and see later. ”

After being interrupted by this incident, the three of them lost their interest in visiting the mountains and rivers, and their speed suddenly became faster. Although Shen Muzhi can't cultivate, he has practiced martial arts for many years, but he won't be a big drag on Xuan Cheng and He Xian.

In less than half an hour, the three of them arrived near the mirror lake, and standing on the hill, they could already see the endless lake.

He Xianfei was in the air, and when he looked around, he saw the small village in the col on the other side.

After determining the location of the village, He Xian came down and explained to Xuan Cheng and Shen Muzhi, asking the two of them to wait for him in this forest, and he planned to go alone.

Before leaving, he also quietly told Xuan Cheng: Before he comes back, remember not to take Shen Muzhi out of this mountain forest and go to the mirror lake.

Although Xuan Cheng didn't know the reason, he saw that he explained solemnly, so he responded seriously.

He Xian went quickly, and Xin's long figure was moving and leaping in the mountains and forests, extremely fast, and in a moment, he was out of the sight of the two.

Xuan Cheng took Shen Muzhi to find a flat place nearby and sat down.

"During this time, how did you stay in the Great Sword Gate? Can someone bully you?" He Xian was there just now, and Xuan Cheng didn't want to ask about these things. At this time, He Xian left, and Xuan Cheng immediately asked.

Although he has stayed in the empty mountain with his senior brother since he was a child, he rarely leaves, but over the years, he has also had some contacts with some mountain sects, and he has heard his senior brother say a lot about the mountain sects.

Although he knew that He Xian was really good to Shen Muzhi, he was inevitably a little worried. This was also one of the reasons why he agreed to He Xian to invite him to Qingliang Peak as an Offering Elder.

In that kind of tiger and wolf den, it is always good to have one more person to protect you.

Xuan Cheng looked at Shen Muzhi, wanting to see something from his face.

However, Shen Muzhi smiled and replied, "It's good, Brother He Xian and my master are all very protective of me, and no one bullies me." ”

That smile doesn't seem to be fake.

Xuan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was stunned: "Your master, didn't He Xian's master go to Yunyou, and he has already returned?"

Shen Muzhi knew that he was wrong, and said with a smile: "It's not Brother He Xian's master, it's the peak master of Zhengyang Peak." ”

"Zhengyang Peak Peak Master?" Xuan Cheng was stunned for a moment. He knew much more about the Great Sword Sect than Shen Muzhi, so he naturally knew what the title of Zhengyang Peak Peak Master meant. He looked at Shen Muzhi with some surprise, really a little surprised.

"Hmm. Shen Muzhi looked at Xuan Cheng's surprised look, nodded with a smile, and then said, "There are also two senior brothers, both of whom are very good." The senior brother is more extroverted, and the second senior brother is more introverted, and when I go back later, I will introduce you to each other. ”

"Good. Xuan Cheng responded quickly, although the development of things was a little different from what he and He Xian had agreed at that time, but looking at the smile on Shen Muzhi's face, he was really happy, and he was also relieved.

The two were talking, when suddenly there was a little movement behind them.

Xuan Cheng was shocked, turned his head suddenly, but saw a rabbit jumping out of the bushes behind, and after seeing the two of them, he paused for a moment and quickly fled.

Xuan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to turn around, when his eyes swept over the ground where the rabbit had squatted just now, but he suddenly stopped.

Shen Muzhi followed his gaze and saw that the few fallen leaves in that place were stained with a little red, like bloodstains.

"Don't move. Xuan Cheng frowned slightly, and after looking around, he motioned for Shen Muzhi to sit here and not move, while he got up and slowly approached the bush that the rabbit jumped out of just now.

Seeing him like this, Shen Muzhi was slightly nervous in his heart, hesitated slightly, and his heart moved, the long sword given by the master was taken out of the ring by him and held it in his hand.

Xuan Cheng quickly arrived next to the bushes, and after careful inspection, he didn't find anything unusual, his heart was slightly relieved, and he looked at other places again, and after making sure that there was no problem, the tension in his heart completely dissipated.

"It's okay......" Xuan Cheng smiled, and was about to turn around, when suddenly behind Shen Muzhi, who was staring at Xuan Cheng, a gray shadow quietly jumped out from the bushes and hit Shen Mu's back.

Shen Muzhi sat there, listening to Xuan Cheng's voice that it was okay, and his heart was also relieved, and he was about to retract the long sword in his hand into the wrench, when suddenly, a cool air jumped up behind him, and the alarm bell in his heart suddenly sounded.

Almost without hesitation, Shen Muzhi turned around violently, and the long sword in his hand swept out. At the same time, a jade sword flashed out of thin air behind the gray shadow, wrapped in red light, and stabbed straight down towards the gray shadow.

This gray shadow is actually a gray gas, which contains a person who is not like a person, and an animal is not like an animal. As soon as Shen Muzhi's jade sword approached this thing, the gray mist wrapped around it suddenly separated, turned into a big hand, and grasped Shen Muzhi's jade sword. Although the red light on the jade sword shook away the big hand formed by the gray mist, it still made the jade sword's speed stagnate.

At this moment, this gray shadow had already pounced in front of Shen Muzhi, and two black lights swept out of it, and one met the long sword that Shen Muzhi swept over, making a crisp sound. The other swept towards Shen Muzhi's throat with a cold light.

Xuan Cheng heard the voice, his heart suddenly felt bad, he turned around and saw this scene, he was in a hurry, the long sword behind him was instantly unsheathed, and a green light slashed in the air, directly stabbing at the gray mist, and he himself was also a dodge and stepped forward, grabbed Shen Muzhi's shoulder, and pulled it back.

The black shadow swept two or three inches in front of Shen Muzhi's throat, and although it didn't actually touch, Gangfeng still left three blood lines on Shen Muzhi's neck.

After Xuan Cheng rescued Shen Muzhi, he didn't have time to check his situation, pushed him back with his backhand, and reached out to grab the long sword that the gray shadow had knocked back with one claw, and then moved his feet and directly met the gray shadow.

After Shen Muzhi staggered to stabilize his figure, he raised his hand and wiped it on his neck with palpitations, and the wet and sticky blood stained his palm, making his heart beat wildly.

If Xuan Cheng hadn't found out in time just now, he stepped forward and pulled him, even if he was a little slower, he would have really died.

Looking at the front again, Xuan Cheng and the gray shadow had already hit one place, the lake-green sword light and the gray mist were constantly entangled, and the sound of metal clashing continued.

This thing can actually make a draw with Xuan Cheng, which shows its strength. It's no wonder that Shen Muzhi was almost powerless in front of it just now.

When Shen Muzhi thought of this, he was afraid for a while.
