The road is also safe, until the top of the mountain into a village, Zhuo Ran saw that there are more thieves around, if you make a difficulty, I am afraid that a good fist is difficult to defeat the four hands, and it is more troublesome to take down these people. It is better to capture the thief and capture the king first. So I decided to wait for the right time.

The minions carried Zhuo Ran into a cave and placed him on the ground.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a scream from outside the cave, and several minions in the cave rushed out, holding knives and asking what was going on. Zhuo Ran quickly sat up and looked out from the cave, only to see that the courtyard was full of people, running around, with a frightened face.

At this moment, he noticed that a milky white smoke was drifting towards him, and the knives in the hands of the minions fell to the ground, and they grabbed their necks with their hands, as if they were out of breath. His face was in great pain, and he fell to the ground and writhed, and soon died, and the others were frightened, and hid in Tibet, and ran down the hill but fell back, and it turned out that there was also a white mist under the mountain, and no one was spared.

At this time, the whole cottage was already in chaos, and no one could take care of him.

Zhuo Ran picked up a knife from the ground and rushed out of the cave, and a few thieves on the hillside saw him coming up, but they didn't come up to catch him, they still turned around and ran, rushing towards the place where there was less white smoke, but when they rushed to those places, white fog also appeared, and slowly floated towards this side.

Zhuo Ran stood on the hill, almost leaning on the top of the mountain, he could see it clearly, there was a white mist surging upwards in all directions, and everywhere he passed, one by one the bandits grabbed their throats and fell down with a loud sound, and even the leaders of the bandits who had fought with him before were not spared, and they fell to the ground one by one and twisted to death. Zhuo Ran was suddenly stunned, he didn't know what to do for a while, seeing the poison drifting closer and closer, Zhuo Ran wished that he had two wings and flew high, the only thing he had was a pair of feet, and there was no way to break out of this poison.

Zhuo Ran suddenly remembered that he had read historical materials, saying that during the First World War, the Germans used poison gas for the first time, when the German army was facing off with the French army, the German army used poison gas, and the French army did not know that the green smoke floating over was poisonous, and they were poisoned and fell, and more than 6,000 people were killed in an instant, and the battle line was immediately defeated.

At that time, the Germans used a kind of *, and only a few French soldiers survived that battle. The survivors were immediately called in by coalition medics to find out why they had survived. In the end, the answer turned out to be that almost all of these people survived under extreme fear, lying directly on the ground, and the military doctors found that the trenches were covered with a layer of soft floating soil because of the long-term bombardment of artillery fire. I can barely breathe even if I bury my head and face in the soil.

The medics immediately reported the situation, and the first generation of gas masks was created, using a filter device that mimicked the surviving French soldiers who escaped the poison gas invasion by filtering the earth. Zhuo Ran thought of this historical story, and suddenly felt happy, no matter whether it was useful or not, now he can only use dead horses as live horse doctors.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a large vegetable field not far away, there were soft dirt in the vegetable field, the poisonous white fog was getting closer and closer, he pulled his legs and rushed into the vegetable field, the vegetable field was surrounded by fences, through the cracks in the fence, you could see the people outside running wildly, seeing that the white fog was about to drift to the vegetable field, he couldn't care about anything else, and immediately dug a pit in the vegetable field, scattering all the soil around, and when the poison was about to reach him, he took a deep breath, and then threw his entire mouth and nose directly into the digging pit.

Then he covered his cheeks with his hands with the dirt, he tried to relax himself, his breathing was already very slow, but no matter how slow he was, he still had to breathe, and now he could only rely on the dirt in front of him to see if they could help him avoid this catastrophe.

Zhuo Ran stabilized his mind, and gradually entered the situation of not forgetting me, as if he was about to fall asleep, and seemed to be still awake, the air in the soil was very thin, he felt a little out of breath, but he knew that he could not panic, let alone raise his head, he had to stay in the dirt to be able to live.

I don't know how long it took, Zhuo Ran finally opened his eyes slowly, he looked around, he didn't see the terrible fog, and through the cracks in the fence of the vegetable garden, he saw the corpses of the bandits lying on the ground outside, the cottage was unusually quiet, it is estimated that even the birds on the trees were poisoned, and all kinds of insects in the grass were not spared.

He decided to get up and take a look, so he held a handful of dirt in front of him, covered his mouth and nose, and then stood up and looked around.

It was quiet all around, there was no one, at this moment, he saw a thick smoke floating not far away, he was very strange, holding the handful of soil and did not dare to let go, only to find that the cottage house was on fire, the raging fire had burned most of the house, only some small houses were still burning.

Zhuo Ran was surprised, it turned out that he had been on this mountain for at least several hours, otherwise it would be impossible to burn most of the cottage house with such a wide area, he actually fell asleep in the mound just now, and fortunately, he escaped this terrible poison, Zhuo Ran was glad that his mental cultivation had reached the level of perfection, so that he could still maintain such calmness in the face of death.

At this time, Zhuo Ran saw a few birds flying in the sky, and he immediately stared nervously at the birds flying above his head, chirping, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in the distance.

Zhuo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, since the bird could fly over, it meant that there was no poison in the air.

He put down the handful of soil, spat on the ground a few times, wiped his face with his sleeve, and thought to himself that he wished the vegetable patch had not been doused with dung. Probably not, because he didn't smell the stench.

Zhuo Ran didn't think about this question anymore, he looked around, and hundreds of bandits were all killed, all of them died tragically, including the leaders who had fought with him before.

Zhuo Ran stepped forward and searched for it, and found some scattered silver, all of which were put into his arms. The buildings were burned down, and nothing more valuable could be found.

Zhuo Ran did not take a blade, for fear of encountering officers and soldiers as bandits. Anyway, their plum blossom needles are enough for self-protection. He walked down the mountain road empty-handed.

It was getting dark. Zhuo Ran suddenly heard someone shouting his name in the distance, and after hearing it, it was Ye Piaopiao, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly agreed.

Ye Piaopiao quickly ran in front of him, looked at him with surprise and joy, and said: "There are a lot of dead people on this mountain, even the animals are dead, I don't know what's going on, I'm scared to death, fortunately you're fine." ”

Zhuo Ran said: "Yes, there is a strange white smoke floating up the mountain, everyone who smells this white fog is dead, but fortunately I am hiding, so I am not dead, what about you? ”

"I'm fine, I looked everywhere and you couldn't find it, but I found a lot of dead beasts and bandits, are there any injuries on my body? ”

Zhuo Ran looked around blankly, only to see the mountains hugging each other, but he couldn't see the shadow of the white mist just now, he didn't know where it came from, why was there such a fog?

Ye Piaopiao said directly: "How did that thing come about? I heard that in the depths of some mountains, there is a very mysterious kind of monster, a bit like a dragon, which can spit out terrible poison, and that poison is white, as long as no one who smells this poison is spared, is there a dragon in the mountain?"

Zhuo Ran shuddered and smiled bitterly: "No matter what he has, we all have to leave as soon as possible, and escape as far away as possible." ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked down the mountain.

They came to the foot of the mountain together, and walked forward to a T-junction, Ye Piaopiao looked at Zhuo Ran with deep meaning and said, "Where are we going now?"

Zhuo Ran said, "Go and deliver that thing." ”

Ye Piaopiao stopped, turned around and looked at him and said, "I may not be able to go with you." ”

"Why?" asked Zhuo Ran in surprise.

"I still have important things to do, and after being by your side for so long, I feel like I've repaid you. ”

Zhuo Ran didn't react for a while, and said, "Repay me, when do I want you to repay me?"

"I want to repay you, but you never care, as if I'm not a woman, so I don't think you need to, so I'd better go. ”

Zhuo Ran was completely stunned, scratched his head and said: "You said that you want to repay me for saving you on the battlefield, and your way to repay you is to follow me all the way, and then ,—— you are not hinting at something? I'm sorry, I don't have enough IQ to react." ”

"You're smart, you've guessed it, you and I respect each other these days, I don't think you need me at all, I'm actually leaving, because I still have important things to do, and we just bumped into each other by chance. ”

Zhuo Ran nodded and said: "This is the second time you said that you are leaving, since you have said it twice, then I will treat you as if what you said is true, you really don't want to be with me, but it is also right, the two of us have met in Pingshui, why bother together?"

Ye Piaopiao looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "Then where are you going?"

"I don't know," he took out the scroll box from his arms, sighed helplessly and said: "Actually, I also have something very important to do, I'm looking for someone, but I don't know where she is, in fact, I don't want to send this thing, in order to be able to go with you, so I took this thing, and now you're leaving, I have to go and finish this matter alone, and then think about the next step." ”

Ye Piaopiao said: "Why don't I send it to you, anyway, my affairs are not very tight, aren't you going to find someone?" No wonder you saved me as another person, or you go to the person you are looking for, and I will help you deliver the things, which can be regarded as repaying you for saving your life." ”

Zhuo Ran nodded, handed the scroll to her, and said, "Okay, then let's clear it up, you can go." ”

Ye Piaopiao nodded, glanced at the two forks in the road, and said, "Which side do you say?"

Zhuo Ran smiled bitterly and said, "Is it just breaking up here?"

Ye Piaopiao pointed to the left and said, "This is the road leading to Jiankang City, of course I will go this way." ”

Zhuo Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, then you go over there, I'll go this way, let's not change Qingshan, there will be a period in the future, take care." ”

Zhuo Ran arched his hand and rushed forward at a trot as if he were fleeing.

Ye Piaopiao saw Zhuo Ran running away, suddenly jumped up, and said after a while: "yes! I finally got it, this stupid fool! I don't know what this thing is, I was actually deceived by me in three or two clicks, at first glance, he is an idiot, this kind of man is best deceived." ”

She took it in her hand and flicked it, she couldn't open it, she had to find a safe place.

She glanced at the road leading to Jiankang City and said, "The ghost will send it to you, and this thing belongs to me now." ”

She turned around, ran forward for four or five miles, came to a small river, looked back and saw that there was no one, and then looked around it was quiet, and then she ran to the river, sat on a big rock, looked around and looked around, and there was indeed no one, and then she held the bronze scroll, grabbed both sides with both hands and twisted it violently, but there was no movement.

She muttered: "The old guy said, this thing seems to be only open with him and that Xuangu, I don't believe it, there must be some kind of treasure inside, it must be opened, it's not a treasure to be so tightly pretended." It's ridiculous, Zhuo Ran's kid actually treats me as everyone's girlfriend, but I don't know that the old lady is a Jiangyang thief, and the most unsightly thing is a baby. ”

"I almost died on the battlefield this time, thanks to meeting this kid, not only saved me, but also gave me such a baby, the old lady saw it right, it is definitely a baby, I don't know if it is a peerless martial arts or a panacea? ”

It turned out that Ye Piaopiao turned out to be a thief in the rivers and lakes, and she specifically aimed at stealing treasures, this time she missed, was chased by the lost guards, and fled to the battlefield, she was seriously injured and couldn't escape, and it happened that Jin Guo and Da Song fought there, and almost died on the battlefield.

Fortunately, I met Zhuo Ran, and the old man in yellow asked Zhuo Ran to help send this volume, Ye Piaopiao recognized at a glance that this volume must be a treasure, she didn't know what the contents of this box were, so she made a bitter plan, she proposed to send a letter, if the reason was sufficient, Zhuo Ran would agree, and this reason was to take advantage of the weakness of the other party's feelings, and sure enough, after saying it, Zhuo Ran promised to give her the volume.

After she got the scroll, she couldn't open it, her eyes rolled, she pulled out the sharp short sword from her waist, and said, "Since it can't be opened, the old lady has to use it." ”

As she spoke, she cut the knife in her hand at one end of the scroll, and she wanted to cut one end, and it was estimated that she would be able to pour out the contents like a bamboo tube, and it would not hurt the things in the bamboo tube, so she heard a click, and the sound was cut off, and the inside was really empty, I don't know what it was?

Ye Piaopiao laughed and said: "The old lady is really smart enough, even I admire myself a little, don't you just open it? What is the use of the mechanism? No matter how good the mechanism is, it can't be a fast knife." ”

When she said this, she turned the brass scroll with the head cut off from the bamboo tube upside down, shook it a few times, and a parchment roll fell out of it, and she was overjoyed, as she expected, there must be something in it, maybe it was a treasure map, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she saw piles of gold, silver and jewelry in the cave in front of her, as if she had become a rich woman in the world, raising a lot of little white faces to live the days of wine pond and meat forest.

She couldn't help laughing, and looked around again, she found that there was a tree that shook a little, but looked carefully but saw nothing, so she took her eyes back, and shook the bamboo tube twice, and nothing fell out, and threw the bronze scroll on the ground, and then picked up the sheepskin scroll and slowly opened it, there was only one line of words on it, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and took a closer look, only to see that it was written: "Seeing this letter, it is your death period, and the great revenge will be avenged, hurry up." ”

Ye Piaopiao flipped through the letter and looked at it, except for these words, there were no other words or patterns on the parchment. "What are you kidding? What do you mean by seeing this letter as a period of death?"

Ye Piaopiao muttered, and suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her throat, and soon her entire throat quickly swelled, and breathing became difficult.

She clutched her throat in pain, she understood, it turned out that there was a colorless and odorless poisonous gas in the bamboo tube, this poisonous smoke was inhaled into her throat, and immediately edema, blocking her breathing, she desperately tried to tear her throat open, but the strength of her whole body was rapidly disappearing, dizzy, and staggered into the river.

The river was very deep, the river was very turbulent, she had only taken a few steps forward, the river was already up to her waist, she looked at the river dizzily, wanted to drink some water to moisten her throat, so she planted her head in the water, and took a sip of water, she immediately felt that her throat was burning, and the last bit of qi was completely blocked, and no qi could enter her body.

She grabbed her throat and raised her head to call for help, but she couldn't shout, and one thing was clear in her mind now, that is, the old man in yellow originally asked them to deliver the letter, hoping that Zhuo Ran would kill the other party, but she didn't expect to be discovered by herself, a Jiangyang thief, and find a way to get it for herself.

Ye Piaopiao couldn't breathe, her time of death was coming, her eyes bulged, she turned around and suddenly saw a person standing on the mountain road not far away, it was Zhuo Ran, who was looking at her with a hint of mockery.

It turned out that this kid knew his plan and saw his trick, Ye Piaopiao wanted Zhuo Ran to save him, but he couldn't shout, the last bit of strength in her body was exhausted in the fight against the turbulent river, she was washed down by the river, head down, and slowly floated down the river.

A gust of wind blew, and the parchment on the ground fell into the river and floated away, leaving only the bronze medallion with its head cut off on the beach.

Zhuo Ran stood on the mountain road and didn't go down, he already felt that Ye Piaopiao was playing a trick, but he didn't know Ye Piaopiao's true identity, he wanted to find out what Ye Piaopiao was going to do? He vaguely guessed that Ye Piaopiao's purpose might be related to the bronze scroll, so he pretended to leave first, and waited for the other party to turn around and flee before quickly following.

His martial arts skills were higher than those of the other party, and he tracked them all the way without being discovered, until he came here, and witnessed Ye Piaopiao cutting open the bronze scroll and being poisoned, falling into the river and dying. Zhuo Ran was a little secretly lucky, fortunately he didn't send this thing to that Xuan Gu, if he opened this volume in front of him, maybe he would be poisoned and die with Brother Xuan.

Zhuo Ran didn't stop, turned around and rushed forward, he didn't need to go to Jiankang City, he didn't know where to go, the only thing he could do was to drift around in the wind, it depends on where God wants to send him? Can you find the osmanthus? This is the last task to be completed, I didn't expect this time the task is so difficult, and now I don't know where to find it?

I have found the osmanthus, but the osmanthus may have died in the flood, it should have died in the lake, so I can only find other people who will die with the same birthday, where to find it?

Zhuo Ran was a little frustrated and walked along the path.

The mountain road is crooked, and I don't know where it leads.
