[102] Like a dog is a tiger
Ye Qingxuan ran the [Taiyi Xuanyuan Condensing Jade Gong] again, and transported the true qi to his feet, and the jade system of exorcising evil and overcoming poison immediately forced the ant venom out of the wound on the sole of his foot, and a fishy and transparent liquid bubbled out along the red and swollen wound, and his left foot, which was originally as red and swollen as a light bulb, did not take long to recover to its original state, except for a red spot in the wound, Ye Qingxuan no longer felt any discomfort.
Fortunately, when the opportunity was not good, he immediately ran away, otherwise he fell into the ant nest, and a little slower would be enough to be poisoned to death by the ant poison.
The venom in the mouth of this strange ant makes people feel severe pain, which is more uncomfortable than any poison, just the bite of an ant has already made Ye Qingxuan feel unstoppable, how dare he stay and take a few more bites?
I didn't expect that the natural environment of the "Martial Arts Holy Land" was so bad, this was still on the periphery of the core city, if it really went deep into this wild place, even if the martial arts were peerless, I am afraid that I would not dare to guarantee that I would survive.
Ye Qingxuan looked at Li Daozong, who also had a swollen calf, and didn't understand how this kid's uncle survived back then.
Li Daozong is also using his skills to force poison, and the [Bone Ablation and Rebirth Technique] of Yijian Villa can even save him when he was seriously injured and dying, and it is of course not a problem to remove the current bit of ant venom. After a while, the redness and swelling on the calves disappeared completely.
Li Daozong got up, only to find that Ye Qingxuan, who had also been poisoned by ants, had cleared the toxin one step ahead of him, and couldn't help frowning and snorting secretly, he couldn't imagine that this cunning kid still had such a skill, and he couldn't help but add another layer to Ye Qingxuan's precautions.
This is on a mountain beam, and in the distance below the mountain on the left is the ant nest, even if it is more than a hundred miles away, the bloody qi is still wafting from there, but the hundreds of wolf corpses on that land are almost gone.
The formic acid of those red monster ants breaks down the flesh and blood of the wolves into small lumps of flesh, which are carried underground by the huge number of ant colonies and become food for these insects.
Not long ago, they were cursing these strange wolves who were chasing Ye Qingxuan and others, but now they couldn't help but sigh for these poor guys who had no bones left.
This is the real world.
The law of the jungle is the law of nature and the law of man, except that nature's biological methods are more direct, and human behavior is hidden under all kinds of excuses and morals, and in fact, there is no difference between the two in essence.
And on the right side of the mountain beam is the next destination of the people. At a glance, they saw a large expanse of woods as far as the eye could see. They were just accustomed to seeing the desolation of the plain, separated by a mountain beam, and then looking at this verdant green shade, they couldn't help but feel cool.
The woodland was long, and in many places there were bare white hills, rolling granite hills, and finally, beyond the plateau, at least two hundred miles to the northwest, they saw a white summit, glittering in the sun.
It was a snow-capped mountain at the top.
Their destination, the closest sanctuary to Phoenix Harbor, was there, right above the snowy mountains.
At this time, it was getting late, Ye Qingxuan looked at the forest under his feet, and said loudly: "It seems that we are going to spend one night on this mountain beam, I don't want to visit the forest at night......"
"Yes, yes, I don't want to do it!" said the big monk Ruhua: "The black light is blind, what if you step on the worm......?"
Ye Qingxuan grunted angrily, this rammer is always different from the entry point of normal human beings when looking at problems, it is completely different.
Xiahou Qingfeng said with a smile: "It seems that we are going to find a sheltered place to rest, the terrain here is too high, and the mountain wind is very hard." ”
Xiahou Qingfeng continued: "Let's go separately and find some firewood, the more the better, the temperature is too low at night, which is not good for the body, although we can rely on the true qi to resist this qiē, but it will still consume the true qi excessively, which is not conducive to a protracted battle! Also, when everyone's true qi is sufficient, we must infuse the excess true qi into the 'crystal shield', and in a critical moment, the true qi in the 'crystal shield' is enough for us to support for a while......
"Who do you think you are?" Zhao Qingting stood up, walked to the other side and sat down, completely ignoring Xiahou Qingfeng's opinion. However, Ye Qingxuan still saw that the other party's right hand hidden under the cloak was holding something tightly......
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and said secretly in his heart: Obviously, he agreed with other people's opinions, but he pretended to be disobedient, and today's young people are already rebellious for the sake of rebellion, and what they pursue is just a form, as if they will be looked down upon if they listen to others, but they don't know that such an attitude really makes people feel naïve and ridiculous.
Li Daozong didn't say a word, got up and shot into the forest under the mountain beam, and after a while, his figure escaped into the jungle, and the sound of chirping came, and in a short time, a thick pine tree fell to one side, followed by a second, and then a third......
Ye Qingxuan was dumbfounded, and muttered to himself: "It turns out that the Li family's swordsmanship is so sharp, but doesn't this rich kid know that the bonfire needs dry firewood so that it won't smoke?"
As soon as Ye Qingxuan said this, Zhao Qingting and Xiahou Qingfeng both turned their heads suspiciously.
Xiahou Qingfeng asked, "What's the matter, isn't the fresher the firewood, the better?"
"You're talking about green vegetables, not firewood!" Ye Qingxuan was furious, this gang of rich second generations is really manic and ungrounded sometimes. I really came to take on the role of nanny.
Zheng Zhantang added some lamp oil to the wick, and the lamp "sizzled" up, driving the thick darkness before dawn to all corners of the house. Zheng Zhantang's figure slowly elongated under the reflection of the lights, and at the same time, another figure appeared in the corner of the room.
Zheng Zhantang didn't raise his head, sat quietly under the lamp, took out a lone book of poems, and said lightly: "It seems that you are very idle, and you are willing to come to see me in person......"
The figure in the corner slowly stepped into the area where the lights lit, but was careful not to let his figure appear on the window.
An old man with a wrinkled and kind face sat at Zheng Zhantang's table, took out a silver kettle and a silver wine glass from his arms, and poured himself a drink in front of Zheng Zhantang.
The old man drank three glasses of wine in a row, then put it in the wine glass, sighed and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but your acting skills are profound again." It's obviously a tiger, but if you want to be a dog for decades, you must be very angry, right?"
Zheng Zhantang took the wine jug from the old man's hand, and without using a glass, he directly poured a big sip into his mouth, which made the old man frown for a while.
"That's not how you drink the 'Ice Soul Cold Pulp Wine', and you are not afraid that your internal organs will become a lump of ice in this way of drinking?"
Zheng Zhantang laughed silently, "You old thing, you still pick like this." It's a shame that you, the old turtle, are still the longest-living one of the 'Six Emperors' of the Holy Gate, but it's a pity that after so many years, you haven't grown at all. ”
The old man smiled, but he snatched back the wine jug in Zheng Zhantang's hand without shame, stuffed it directly into his arms, and refused to take it out.
This old man is none other than the Xuanwu Imperial Master, one of the "Six Emperors of the Demon Gate".
Zheng Zhantang said with a smile: "These few days are my happiest days. But like you said, being a dog to others, being called by others for so many years, there is fire in your heart, and you are still so reluctant to use your cold wine to suppress the fire?"
"She's willing, she's willing......," the old man laughed, "But it's okay, I don't think your identity needs to be hidden for a long time, you know, the Holy Gate's plan is about to be fully implemented, and the most important thing now is to stabilize Fengyi Pavilion and restrain the hands and feet of the imperial court......"
Zheng Zhantang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have endured it for so long, how can I relax at this last critical moment?"
Then Zheng Zhantang suddenly sneered, and asked seemingly casually, "Why did I hear that there was something wrong with Qinglong?"
The corners of the Xuanwu Imperial Master's mouth twitched, and he sneered: "You seem to be very happy to hear that something happened to Qinglong...... After all these years, you still have to fight him?"
Zheng Zhantang sneered.
The Xuanwu Imperial Lord sighed and said, "Alas, the Holy Lord valued the two of you the most back then, and for the sake of the Holy Gate, he sent one of you to Kunwu Mountain and the other to the Confucian Academy. You seedlings, the two of you are the most promising, and in such a large group of people, almost 5,000 **, less than 100 people have survived, why fight for it......"
"Fight? What is he worth fighting for? I entered the Confucian Academy, and finally came to the position ......of 'Wu Xiang', and played the court and Fengyi Pavilion around, and what did he Qinglong do? What is his ability better than mine, why is he at the same level as me, and what qualifications does he have?"
The Xuanwu Imperial Lord smiled, shook his head and said, "Seeing that you have been operating in the position of martial minister for decades, I thought that you had long lost the arrogance of your youth, hehe, good, I didn't expect you to be so competitive...... After I go back, I will explain it to the Holy Lord, I believe that your merits are clear to the Holy Lord, but when the Holy Gate employs people, the strength of the Qinglong is extraordinary, and it still has the value of use......"
Xuanwu got up and retreated into the darkness, and said softly, "It's not early, I'll go first." ”
"Don't send it—"
Zheng Zhantang blew out the lights beside him, and the surroundings immediately fell into darkness, but there were still two small dots that were bright, and those were Zheng Zhantang's shining eyes.
Xuanwu is gone......
At this time, Zheng Zhantang was silent, sitting quietly in the dark-
Hmph, Huangfu Jingde treats me as an obedient dog, Zhuo Qingfan treats me as an obedient dog, and even the Holy Gate treats me as a dog......
As everyone knows, sometimes the dogs around you are the most dangerous!
When he bites his master, the master is defenseless and will inevitably be attacked. And they all seem to have forgotten the most important point - Zheng Zhantang is not a dog, he is a tiger, a white tiger disguised as a loyal dog!
He is the White Tiger, one of the Six Emperors of the Holy Gate!(To be continued.) )
