Chapter Forty-Six: The Nameless Black Robe Blocks the Way
"Engong, thousands of miles east of this place is Taiyang City. ”
"Don't call me Engong, my name is Xiao Wu, what's your name?"
"My name is ...... My name is Su Qing. ”
"Su Qing, hello. ”
"Hello, Xiao Wu. ”
"What kind of medicine is that magic medicine circulating in Taiyang City?"
"I don't know, Taiyang City is trying its best to block the news, and even this conference is in the name of an exchange meeting, but in fact, it is to explore ways to deal with the poisonous fog. ”
"Poisonous fog?"
"Yes. The magic medicine was wrapped in a poisonous mist, and no one could get in. That's why some well-known alchemists will be invited to explore the method of cracking together. ”
"They also invited you to go?" Xiao Wu was a little surprised.
"No, I was originally invited to Shizun, but Shizun was entangled in things, so I did it for me. Su Qing was a little embarrassed.
"Who is your master?" Xiao Wu said curiously.
"......" Su Qing was a little uneasy.
"I'm sorry, I'm curious. ”
Su Qing shook his head slightly to indicate that there was nothing to do, but he no longer said much.
Passing by a small town, the horses in the horse market are majestic and majestic.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" asked Xiao Wu.
"I've ridden it before, it will. Su Qing replied
Xiao Wu bought two horses, and Su Qing rushed to pay the bill, "Since I asked you to protect me along the way, how can this kind of thing make you pay?"
The two of them stepped onto their horses and galloped all the way, and the trees in front of them quickly retreated.
After galloping for half a day, Xiao Wu looked at Su Qing's tired face and said, "Let's eat something and leave." ”
"Good. ”
Xiao Wu lit a fire, and set up the fire after a little handling of the hare at hand.
"Let's talk about the miracle medicine. Xiao Wu asked.
"The news of the miracle medicine has not spread much, as far as I know, some people entered the poisonous fog and saw the shadow of the miracle medicine in the deepest depths, but unfortunately when they came out, they were poisoned too deeply, and they were already dying, and they did not leave much news. ”
"And do you have a solution to the poisonous fog?"
"Well, the master passed on me several secret recipes, but how effective they can be, I still have to go to know how much they can be. ”
At this time, a third voice came: "Oh, I don't know what the secret recipe is, let's hear it?"
I don't know when, there was an extra person on the tree next to him, dressed in a black robe and carrying a wooden sword. At this moment, the man looked at the two of them with a smile, and his eyes revealed excitement.
"Who are you?" Xiao Wu blocked Su Qing behind him, holding the black broken knife in his hand.
The person who came smiled even more, but he didn't speak, but stepped towards Xiao Wu with a volley. Xiao Wu turned to dodge, and the broken knife drew a circle in his hand, slashing at the black robe that had not yet landed.
A yellow rune paper floated, and then a yellow light curtain suddenly appeared, blocking Xiao Wu's broken knife, and the black robe snorted coldly, tiptoe to the ground, and jumped away with strength.
"Edict!"
As soon as the black robe's voice fell, five pieces of rune paper flew out of his sleeve. The five yellowed pieces of talisman paper spontaneously combusted in the wind, turning into clumps of ashes, and then five sharp blades with a cold glow poked out of the ashes, and the ashes dispersed.
Everything was in an instant, and as soon as Xiao Wu withdrew the broken knife, he saw five sharp blades floating in the air, pointing to his own limbs and heads.
The figure turned again, Xiao Wu avoided the vital point, barely dodged the two sharp blades, and at the same time, three blood marks appeared on his body. The shuttled blade turned around again, as if he would not give up without taking Xiao Wu's life.
Xiao Wu's feet were full of vitality, and he paused slightly, and then rushed towards the black robe like an arrow off the string.
The black robe did not stop after throwing out five rune papers, he stood with his eyes closed, pinched a rune paper with his right hand and fingers, pinched the seal with his left hand, and recited an obscure spell in his mouth.
The hand that pinched the seal suddenly paused, his eyes opened instantly, and the black robe stepped forward, shouting: "Qi!"
The rune paper turned to ashes, and a two-person high circular hole instantly appeared in front of the black robe, black, I don't know where it leads, and the entrance of the cave is facing Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was startled, castration was difficult to reverse, and couldn't help but feel a cross, stepped on the family heirloom footwork, stepped on three steps in a row, and stepped into the air, but saw a black hand poking out of the black hole, a black hole two people high, at the moment was occupied by an arm, the five fingers were dark and slender, and the nails were flashing with black light, more like animal claws than human hands.
Seeing this, Su Qing in the rear frowned slowly.
The giant claw pressed towards Xiao Wu, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu raised the black knife to meet him, and the pitch-black giant claw collided with the black knife with a string of sparks, and Xiao Wu flew upside down.
The black robe chuckled, and with a wave of his hand, the giant claws were like clouds of smoke, floating away, and disappeared along with the black hole.
However, the sharp blade behind him did not disappear, and at this moment, it turned back and collided with Xiao Wu, who flew upside down, both through the chest.
"Ahem. Xiao Wu held the knife in his hand, coughing up blood, but the battle intent in his eyes became more and more intense.
The black robe smiled and slowly approached this side.
Su Qing stepped forward, stood in front of Xiao Wu, and said, "You really want to tear your face?"
"Hehe, how do you say it, I'm also your senior brother, I'm quite curious, what secret recipe do you have?
Xiao Wu was carrying a broken gun, and he wanted to step forward to fight again, but when he heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but stop.
"Oh, brother, I don't care why you're here, but if you ruin my business, then we'll not die. Su Qing's voice gradually deepened, revealing coldness.
"Tut-tut, I'm so scared. I'm too lazy to get involved in your affairs, and it's easy for me to leave. I'll just ask one question, you answer me, and I'll leave immediately. The black robe didn't care about Su Qing's attitude.
"Everything about her!"
"Then I'm going to ask about her. Where is she now?"
"She doesn't want to see you, and she won't see you if you go. ”
"Tell me where she is!" the black robe roared.
"She's in the Holy Mountain. ”
"You're lying to me!" roared the black robe.
"I didn't lie to you, she was always in the Holy Mountain. Su Qing's face was calm and he looked at the black robe indifferently.
"Hmph, you don't dare to lie to me. The black robe snorted coldly and turned away.
Su Qing lowered his head and was silent, his brows were already twisted together, his eyes were full of coldness, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly turned around and walked towards Xiao Wu, helping Xiao Wu and asking, "How are you?"
"It's still holding on. He's gone?"
"It should be gone, don't be reckless, I have a lot of healing medicine here, let's heal the injury first." If you look like this, you can't see the magic medicine when you go to Taiyang City. ”
"Good. ”
"I'll take a look around first, you be careful. ”
"You too. ”
Su Qing glanced at Xiao Wu, who closed his eyes and crossed his knees, and left slowly, but his heart was full of thoughts: "How did Xiao Wu defeat the corpse puppet with such a cultivation? What else did he not reveal? Was that guy from the Heavenly Demon Gate a coincidence or deliberately waiting for me here? Who revealed my plan? Damn, this time was too careless." ”
Looking back, Xiao Wu who was not far away with his eyes closed and pranayama breathing, and then looked around, the surroundings were calm, and Su Qing took out a two-finger-thick bamboo tube from his arms.
He rubbed it gently, his eyes slightly wandering, as if he was recalling the past, but soon he came back to his senses, his gaze condensed again, fixed on the bamboo tube, quickly pulled the plug above, and tilted it against the ground.
A pair of black tentacles poked out gently, and then a centipede the thickness of a thumb crawled out of the bamboo tube, the whole body was pitch black, glowing with metallic luster, and the two rows of feet were like steel needles, revealing a faint chill. As soon as this strange centipede came out, it stopped in place and raised its head to Su Qing.
Su Qing squatted down and stretched out a finger to put it next to it. Like a toad pounced on an insect, the centipede nailed to Su Qing's fingertips as fast as lightning, and the soft and ruddy fingers gradually turned pale.
"Well, I don't want any more accidents on the road ahead. Su Qing stroked the centipede with his other hand, not surprised by this situation, and his eyes were full of pampering.
As the words fell, the black centipede loosened its mouth, raised its head, its tentacles danced continuously, and with a whoosh, it turned into a streamer and disappeared into the dead grass and snow.
Seeing the centipede disappear into the wilderness, Su Qing's locked brows stretched slightly, and he walked around Xiao Wu.
It was getting late, and Xiao Wu opened his eyes.
"How?" asked Su Qing.
"The previous injuries in the burial mountain have not healed, and counting this injury, the injury is even more injured. Although the injury is stabilized now, I am afraid that it will affect the trip. Xiao Wu said helplessly.
"Well, it doesn't matter, there is no time limit for this conference, and it doesn't hurt to spend a few days in the evening. Su Qing replied with a smile.
"That person was your senior brother just now?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"Alas...... Sort of. Su Qing sighed slightly, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded his head.
"But, the exercises he practiced looked a little evil. ”
"Yes, originally he was indeed my senior brother, but later because of greed, he practiced evil law in private, and then he was discovered by his master. Shizun remembered that it was not easy for him to practice, but he just drove him away from the sect and did not impose other punishments. I never thought that he and I would meet here. And judging from the fight just now, his exercises have become deeper again, and he wants to go farther and farther down the evil path, and he will fall deeper and deeper. ”
Speaking of this, Su Qing showed a sad look and looked lonely, "I think he was very good to me back then, recalling the days when we lived together in the master's gate, and seeing each other again, I never thought it would be like this." ”
Xiao Wu was infected by it, his heart was sad, and he was silent.
After a night of repairs, the two were on the road again at dawn. The road of thousands of miles is not far away, although Xiao Wu is injured, but it is only seven days before and after to arrive in Taiyang City.
"Go ahead. Xiao Wu untied the reins, drove the two horses into the forest, and watched them gallop away.
Taiyang City is majestic and magnificent, it looks like a city from afar, and it looks like a mountain up close, which is more than twice as high as the ancient city of the town. Looking up, the people on the tower seemed to be standing among the clouds.
"In this 10,000-mile radius, everyone knows Taiyang City, which is also the holy city of alchemists, everything here is controlled by an alliance of alchemists, and no other forces can intervene. Here, alchemists can exchange elixirs at will without fear of being robbed, and they can freely discuss the difficulties of alchemy without fear of being snooped. This is the holy city of alchemists and the holy land of peace. When Su Qing saw Taiyang City, he couldn't help but talk more, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Miracle medicine ......" As soon as Xiao Wu spoke, he was pulled into the city by Su Qing.
"The magic medicine is not in a hurry, let's find an inn to stay in and have a good meal. Su Qing became extremely active, with a hint of excitement between his eyebrows.
