Zhou Cheng followed the source of the sound and walked around behind a big tree, only to see a pale young man lying in a pool of blood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the young man saw Zhou Cheng, an abnormality flashed in his eyes. His voice was unusually weak, and he shouted, "Help me!" ”

Zhou Cheng leaned down to check the young man's injury, and the injured young man only grabbed Zhou Cheng's arm, breathing unusually fast: "Help me!" Save me! ”

"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Zhou Cheng comforted.

Just as Zhou Cheng was about to take measures, the injured young man tightened up, and his throat rolled violently and then he lost his breath.

Zhou Cheng shook his body vigorously: "Wake up, brother, wake up!" ”

Han Tao sighed and gently patted Zhou Cheng's shoulder: "Big brother, he's dead!" ”

Zhou Cheng shook his head and stood up, although he felt sorry in his heart, he was helpless. As if he had discovered something, Han Tao bent down and picked up a shiny hidden weapon from the grass.

"What a strange secret weapon!" Zhou Cheng stared at the triangular hidden weapon in Han Tao's hand and said.

"Heavenly Saint Sect!" Han Tao said with some surprise.

"Heavenly Saint Sect? What kind of organization is the Heavenly Saint Sect? Zhou Cheng asked puzzled.

"I heard that this Heavenly Saint Sect appeared eighteen years ago, and it is an extremely secretive organization. After the emergence of this Heavenly Saint Sect, members continued to develop. Many people joined the group in secret. In the last Soul Asking Conference, many people died at the hands of the Heavenly Saint Sect disciples, but I didn't expect this Soul Asking Conference to appear again! Han Tao said with a frown.

"It seems that there is really an undercurrent surging in this cloudy mountain, let's be careful!" Zhou Cheng muttered, but he was constantly worried about Feng Rou's safety.

Han Tao sighed softly: "The weak eat the strong since ancient times. Now that you have embarked on the road of cultivation, you have to go on tenaciously whether you live or die! ”

After hurriedly burying this unfortunate young man, Zhou Cheng looked at the surrounding situation: "Let's go, maybe the people of the Heavenly Saint Sect haven't gone far yet." Be careful! ”

Half an hour later, Han Tao and Zhou Cheng finally came to the dense forest by the waterhole. Through the dense foliage, Zhou Cheng saw the three-headed fire rhinoceros leisurely grazing on the grass by the waterhole, and looked up at the surrounding situation from time to time.

"Big brother, this fire rhino is a seventh-level spirit beast of the earth level, and it is very powerful, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to hunt them." Han Tao stared at the fire rhinoceros not far away and whispered.

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Don't worry, I'm measured!" ”

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the fire rhinoceros: "You give me the wind here, and I will go to deal with the three fire rhinoceros!" ”

"Big brother, don't you use a sword?" Han Tao shouted behind Zhou Cheng.

"No need, bare hands are enough!" After all, the fire rhino was only a seventh-level spirit beast of the earth rank, and it was far inferior in strength to the red-haired giant ape. The red-haired giant ape can still fight with his bare hands, and this fire rhinoceros must be even better.

The three-headed fire rhinoceros, who were leisurely gnawing on the grass, saw Zhou Cheng running towards them, and hurriedly looked up at Zhou Cheng, with a stream of hot air spewing out of their noses. Without waiting for Zhou Cheng to get close, one of the strongest fire rhinoceros launched an attack on Zhou Cheng without hesitation, after all, offense is the best defense.

Zhou Cheng looked at the menacing fire rhinoceros and suddenly laughed: "It's just right, taste the taste of my fist!" ”

Zhou Cheng turned sideways and punched the fire rhinoceros's head, and the fire rhinoceros was suddenly blinded by this punch, and his body shook for a while.

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was not good, the other two fire rhinoceros also lowered their heads and slammed into Zhou Cheng with sharp horns. How could Zhou Cheng be hit so easily, and after dodging left and right, he punched out again.

There was a bang, and a fire rhinoceros couldn't bear Zhou Cheng's heavy punch and fell to the ground. After the time of half a pillar of incense, Zhou Cheng looked at the three fire rhinoceros who fell to the ground: "It's far worse than the red-haired giant ape!" ”

Han Tao was not surprised to see that Zhou Cheng had solved the three fire rhinoceros at once: "The red-haired giant ape can be killed, what can this sixth-level fire rhinoceros be counted?" ”

"Han Tao, how can the dragon-bearded carp in this waterhole be hunted? You won't want me to touch it in the water, will you? After taking the spirit core of the fire rhinoceros, Zhou Cheng asked Han Tao for advice.

Han Tao smiled slightly: "The favorite thing of this dragon beard carp is called the earth dragon." We only need to use the ground dragon as bait to catch the dragon's bearded carp. ”

"What is an Earth Dragon?"

"The Earth Dragon is actually a scaly earthworm." Han Tao patiently explained.

"Do you know where to find this kind of thing?" Zhou Cheng hurriedly asked.

"The earth dragon likes to eat the dung of the fire rhinoceros, and the dung of the fire rhinoceros is convenient for the earth dragon!" Han Tao pointed to a piece of fire rhinoceros feces and said.

Zhou Cheng suddenly sweated profusely: "Han Tao, can you change another way?" ”

"Can't!" Han Tao replied in the affirmative.

Zhou Cheng was suddenly helpless: "Okay then・・・・・・"

The hard work paid off, and after rummaging through the fire rhinoceros feces on the grass, Zhou Cheng really found six earthworms with scales, which were what Han Tao called the earth dragon.

Just when Zhou Cheng found the earth dragon, Han Tao had already walked over with two simple fishing rods: "Big brother, with this, you can catch the dragon beard carp." ”

"Han Tao, it seems that you haven't been in vain for three years in this Cloud Mist Mountain, you really know a lot of things!" Zhou Cheng praised him sincerely.

Han Tao smiled noncommittally: "To be honest, many times in this Cloud Mountain, I feel that being alive is more important than anything else, and the belief in living even exceeds the belief in revenge. Isn't that a contradiction, you say? Ridiculous, huh? ”

Zhou Cheng shook his head after taking the fishing rod in Han Tao's hand: "The ants are still stealing, what's wrong with wanting to live?" When a life ceases to exist, what ideals and beliefs can we talk about? It's like the young man we just met, whose ideals and beliefs fell with him in this cloudy mountain, and there is no trace of him. Only when you are alive can you have hope, and if you die, everything is in vain, right? ”

Han Tao skillfully hung the earth dragon on a homemade hook and threw the bait into the water. He stared at the calm water, and his heart was mixed: "I haven't been home for three years, and I don't know what happened to my parents?" ”

The dragon-bearded carp has a certain spirituality and is usually very alert. But it has a fatal flaw, that is, it can't resist the temptation of the Earth Dragon. After the time of a pillar of incense, Han Tao caught three dragon carp, and Zhou Cheng also caught one. Six earth dragons were exchanged for four dragon beard carp, and Zhou Cheng's luck was not bad.

After taking the spirit core of the dragonbeard carp, the two of them peeled and washed the dragonbeard carp on the spot and roasted it on the fire.

"The spirit cores of the fire rhinoceros and the dragonbeard carp have been found. Don't know where there is Ice and Fire Grass? Zhou Cheng asked while grilling the fish.

"Of the three things you want, only the Ice and Fire Grass is more difficult to pick! You've got your luck home. ”

Zhou Cheng was a little curious: "Could it be that there is any other way for this Ice and Fire Grass?" ”

"This ice and fire grass grows where the cold and the heat meet, and the leaves are double-opened. Generally, the leaves are fiery red, and half of the leaves are silvery-white. This is also due to the blending of fire and ice in the place where it grows. In this vast cloudy mountain, there is only one place where this elixir grows. Han Tao said like a treasure.

"Don't sell it, where can I find this Ice and Fire Grass?" Zhou Cheng asked a little eagerly.

"In the land of hot mountains and cold lakes! It's about two days away on foot! Han Tao casually tore off a piece of roasted brown fish meat and threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Well, then hurry up and eat, eat well and hurry!" ”

After the two had eaten and drunk, they continued on their way. The mountains in the Yunwu Mountains are high and densely forested, and many places are very dangerous. Fortunately, Zhou Cheng had Han Tao as a guide, although he also encountered many fierce beasts along the way, but both of them walked forward unharmed, and they also obtained a lot of spirit cores and elixirs by the way. Of course, these spirit cores and elixirs were given to Zhou Cheng, after all, the big bag on Han Tao's back was either a spirit core or an elixir, and he really didn't lack this kind of thing.

Along the way, Zhou Cheng and Han Tao also met several groups of young people. In this cloudy mountain full of danger, both sides are staring at each other very vigilantly. What reassured Zhou Cheng was that these groups of people were just wary of themselves and Han Tao, but they also saved a lot of worry.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Cheng and Han Tao found a slightly open grass. There was a big tree in the middle of the meadow, and the two decided to spend the night. After dinner, Han Tao quietly covered up the traces left by the two of them, then climbed the big tree and lay down on a number pole next to Zhou Cheng.

"Big brother, in the past three years, I've been thinking about the same question in the dead of night!" Han Tao said softly after lying down.

"What question is worth thinking about for so long?" Zhou Cheng asked with his eyes closed.

"I was thinking about why I ******** to cultivate in the first place, but it's actually good to be an ordinary person. Xiuzhen asked, is this path good? Han Tao said with a sigh.

"Everyone has their own way of living, and since you have embarked on this path, there is no right or wrong. Turmoil in the world is always inevitable, in fact, many times we can't help ourselves. ”

"Big brother, why did you embark on this path? Is it also involuntarily? ”

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Probably because of an impulse!" ”

"Impulsive? What impulse? Han Tao asked curiously.

"An urge to stop being bullied and to make myself stronger!."

Han Tao was silent for a while and then said: "This world is like this, the law of the jungle is simply everywhere. I don't know how many people hate this in this cloudy mountain. ”

"Knowing that this moment is extremely dangerous, didn't you come in three years ago?" Zhou Cheng asked rhetorically.

"Yes, in the end, it's the desires and thoughts in the heart that are at work!" Han Tao sighed softly.

"Don't you think too much. Since you have embarked on the road of Xiuzhen and asked, you can only go on strongly. It's not early, so let's rest early. Zhou Cheng comforted.

Han Tao thinks it makes sense, after all, the road is his own choice, and he must go on strong no matter what. He stops talking, but his mind shows the moments he had with Fluttershy.

Zhou Cheng also stopped talking, and silently shouted in his heart when he looked at the dantian: "Lingzun? In not? ”

At this time, a childish voice sounded in Zhou Cheng's ears: "What is the noise?" Don't you know it's rude to disturb someone's rest? ”

Zhou Cheng was surprised for a while: "Are you a Lingzun and still need to rest?" ”

"Who told you I don't have to rest? Even if you're my master, you're reasonable, right? What are you looking for from me? Lingzun said angrily.

Zhou Cheng was disdainful for a while: "Okay, am I wrong?" I just wanted to ask if you got my sword right? I can't always fight with my bare hands, can I? ”

"It's done, and it's placed in the corner to the left of the first house of the Nine Palaces of the Golden Seal." Lingzun replied a little lazily.

"Got it done, didn't you say it earlier? It hurt me to deal with those three fiery rhinoceros with my bare hands in the morning! Zhou Cheng complained.

"You didn't ask at the time, how can I have so much spare time? I'm busy! Lingzun's tone was a little disdainful.

Zhou Cheng was speechless to Lingzun: "Okay, I'll obey you." It's okay, you're busy! ”

"Master, let me tell you, along the way, you have to pick as many elixirs and collect spirit cores as possible." Lingzun suddenly begged.

Zhou Cheng smiled in his heart: "Why do you want such elixir and spirit core?" ”

"Don't ask about this, the deity is useful. And the space of the first house is so large, don't you think it's a waste not to fill it with elixirs and spirit cores? Waste is a shame! ”

Zhou Cheng: "Okay・・・・・・"

After Lingzun finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Cheng didn't care too much. A burst of emptiness came to his heart, and a trace of worry passed through his heart: "I don't know how Sister Rou is?" Has it already converged with Shen Feiyang? ”

It was the sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in Zhou Cheng's heart.

"Han Tao, someone is coming!" Zhou Cheng said softly.

"Well, I know! Watch and see what happens! Han Tao whispered.

Not long after, two men in black cloaks were pushing a woman to the tree, and when Zhou Cheng looked down through the faint moonlight, a wave of anger in his heart couldn't help but rise.
