Overlooking the Cockscomb Mountain from here, the brows of the flowers are completely furrowed.

The heroic woman on the side was also full of solemnity, and said, "Hualang, what is that layer of black mist?"

Hua Mantang shook his head and said, "In Ling Guanmen's letter, there is no specific content, these black fogs were not available before, madam, this time, you just wait for me here, don't go up the mountain with me." ”

"Hanarang, did you think of something?" asked the heroic woman eagerly.

Hua Mantang nodded and said, "Madam, for some reason, I actually linked these black mist shrouded in Cockscomb Mountain with the dangerous black mist that Zhao Denggao said, and I always feel that there is some kind of relationship, and it is even likely to be the same thing, do you think it is possible?"

"What?" The heroic woman was shocked, she didn't connect the two at all, Gain, one is in the hinterland of Qiushui Country, the other is in the west of Southern Zhou Kingdom, these two places are thousands of miles apart, it stands to reason that there should be no relationship between the two, but since Hua Mantang said so, he must have his reasons.

"Hanarang, why do you think that?"

"Madam, do you remember that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess once said such a sentence at that time, she said, it seems that even the Southern Zhou Kingdom has a black mist, what are these fogs?

"Oh, I remember, at that time, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess said this in a very low voice, so could it be that there are many places within the Three Kingdoms of the North where this kind of black mist has appeared?"

"These are just speculations, and I don't know very well, madam, you must listen to me this time, don't go up the mountain with me, just find a place nearby to wait for me, don't worry, if you can't do anything, I will come back immediately and rush back to the division with you." The tone of the flower hall was very solemn, revealing a meaning that could not be refused.

The heroic woman did not hesitate, immediately nodded, and said: "Hualang, I understand, I won't go anywhere, I'll just wait for you here, limited to one day, if I don't see you at this time tomorrow, I will immediately return to the division for help, you must be careful." ”

Hua Mantang smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Madam, you are still so sensible, I won't say anything superfluous, I'll go." ”

The heroic woman nodded, although she did not act to retain or dissuade, but on her face, a strong look of worry could not help but appear.

She knew in her heart that although she was also a martial artist, compared to Hua Mantang, whether it was experience or combat experience, the difference was not too far, the more important the matter, if she had to intervene, the ending would probably backfire, so it was better to choose to believe in Hua Mantang.

Hua Mantang didn't get on the horse at all this time, and after saying goodbye to the heroic woman, he unfolded his body and hurried towards the Cockscomb Mountain.

Soon after, Hua Mantang came to the foot of the Cockscomb Mountain, he looked up at the Cockscomb Mountain, and his face became even more solemn.

The closer you get to Cockscomb Mountain, the more uncomfortable you feel surrounding you, as if you have entered a dead place.

Hua Mantang sniffed, a faint rancid smell lingered in his nose, the point is, this smell did not come from that direction, but in all directions, as if there was this smell in a space around him.

Hua Mantang only stopped in place for a while, and walked up the mountain road, but went around the foot of the mountain to the bottom of a cliff, and then climbed up the cliff.

The cliff here is very high, hundreds of zhang long, but the speed of the flower is also dissatisfied, and soon came to the top of the cliff.

The top of the cliff is a huge open field, where there is a pavilion, wooden house water pavilion, at the edge of the open field, there is a circle of fences, and in the south, there is a gate like a huge archway, on which are written the three big characters of Lingguan Gate.

In the Lingguan Gate, there are those who practice martial arts, those who sit cross-legged and cultivate, and those who watch the fish silently, and there are many people who come and go.

The place where Hua Mantang appeared was on the side of Ling Guanmen, he did not rush to go up, but climbed on top of the cliff, hiding under a big tree sticking out of the cliff, only half of his head was exposed, and he looked upward.

Ling Guanmen had followed Shizun before, and he was not impressed by the disciples of Ling Guanmen before, only knowing that most of them were busy cultivating all day long, which was the case among all the martial arts sects in Dinu Continent, and there was nothing unusual about it.

But there is one thing that he still has a deep memory, that is, the disciples of Ling Guanmen are extremely proud on weekdays, which can be clearly felt in their daily travel, even in the face of one of the three major sects of Qiushui Country, Sanyangmen, where he is located, he is never humble or arrogant.

But at this time, in the eyes of Hua Mantang, those disciples in Ling Guanmen, whether they were practicing martial arts, or those servants, all had obvious clouds on their faces, as if they had encountered a big problem and didn't know how to solve it.

After observing for a long time, Hua Mantang took an opportunity, climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, went around a bamboo forest outside, and came to a stone road outside the gate of Lingguanmen.

Sure enough, as soon as he showed his head, a voice shouted: "Who is coming, this is the Lingguanmen station, if there is nothing else, leave quickly." ”

Hua Mantang soon came to the gate, there were two disciples of Ling Guanmen, both bare-handed, wearing the unique costumes of Ling Guanmen, a lilac robe, and on the sleeves, embroidered with the appearance of a cockscomb mountain.

One of the round-faced disciples was looking at Hua Mantang vigilantly,

Hua Mantang arched his hand and said, "Two courteous, disciples of the Lower Sanyang Sect Hua Mantang came at the appointment of Sect Master Luo. ”

"Hua Mantang, one of the six heroes of Sanyangmen, who killed Yan Liuqing, the general of the Northern Yan Kingdom, ten years ago, and saved hundreds of thousands of people in Shunxi City, an important city in the east of the Qiushui Kingdom, from being slaughtered?"

The round-faced disciple asked with a look of surprise.

Hua Mantang smiled faintly and said, "A little thing is not enough to worry about." ”

"Is it really you?" The round-faced disciple suddenly knelt down with a "poof" and said: "Disciple Zhang Sanlu, please see the benefactor, the benefactor may not know, the disciple is the Shunxi City people, if it wasn't for the benefactor back then, my family would have suffered miserably, and the benefactor please accept my worship." ”

As the round-faced disciple spoke, he was about to kowtow.

"Wait. The thin-faced disciple next to him said with a vigilant face: "You said that you are full of flowers, but there is evidence?"

Hua Mantang smiled and nodded, took out a black sign from his arms, I couldn't see the material, on the front there were three words Hua Mantang, and on the back was a group of pictures of the three rounds of the sun rising alternately.

Hua Mantang handed over the sign and said, "This is the Sanyang Gold Medal of my Sanyang Gate, you can take it to Sect Master Luo to see." ”

The thin-faced disciple didn't dare to slack off, so he took it and said, "Please wait a minute." ”

After speaking, he pulled the round-faced disciple and said, "You get up for me first, I don't know if this person is a senior or not, you keep an eye on me, if he has any bad behavior, immediately send a signal for help." ”

The round-faced disciple was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, but still stood up, and said apologetically: "Benefactor, he is this temper, please don't blame the benefactor." ”

Hua Mantang shook his head and said, "Dedication to duty, only reward, that will be blamed, go quickly." ”

The thin-faced disciple didn't delay any longer this time, and walked towards the door, but along the way, he looked at the sign in his hand over and over again, and muttered: "This brand is obviously black, why is it called a gold medal? Is it really gold?"

He subconsciously wanted to put the brand in his mouth and bite it to verify it, but a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "This thing can't be eaten, although it is non-toxic, it is indeed not very easy to digest." ”

The thin-faced disciple was startled, this voice, isn't it the man who claims to be full of flowers, but he is already so far away, how can he still talk to himself?

The thin-faced disciple didn't dare to look back, nor did he dare to make any more small moves, and went straight to the main hall of Lingguanmen.

On the main seat, there sat a man with a delicate face, a thin face, and a somewhat beautiful face.

At the beginning, there were several people sitting, both men and women, as if they were discussing something fiercely.

The thin-faced disciple shouted at the door, "Sect Master Qi. ”

The man on the throne didn't look this way, but the voice came: "What's the matter?"

"Outside, at the mountain gate, a man came, claiming to be one of the six masters of Sanyang Gate, Hua Mantang, saying that he came at the request of the sect master, and asked the disciple to bring this sign called Sanyang Gold Medal to the sect master. ”

"Oh?"

The rest of the people in the hall also immediately fell silent, and the woman, who looked a little old, said, "Did Sanyangmen actually send him this time?"

"Hmph. An old man with a hooked nose sneered: "What's the use of coming to a flower hall, he is just a great martial artist, even if he enters the peak of the great martial artist this year, but just like you and me, he is just a martial artist, what can he do, what is Sanyangmen thinking?"

"Bring the sign. The man on the throne said with an expressionless face.

"Yes. The thin-faced disciple quickly presented the black sign in his hand.

The man on the main seat took the sign in his hand, stretched out his fingers, and a crisp and pleasant sound sounded on the sign, but the scene that happened next made the thin-faced disciple stunned.
