On this day, the army marched to the foot of a hill with a small grove of lush foliage. It was noon, the sun was very hot, and the soldiers were sweating, and the leading general gave the order to let the army go into the woods to rest and eat some dry food.

The army received the order, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the vanguard troops took the lead in marching towards the woods. But they had just walked out of the woods and were about to go inside, when a strange situation happened.

I saw that in the woods, a purple-red smoke suddenly drifted out, condensed but not dispersed, and looked very gorgeous. The soldiers were immediately very curious, and they gathered around them, stopping there to point and watch.

A few of the inquisitive soldiers, who thought the smoke was very beautiful, stepped forward and reached out to touch the smoke. The men grabbed a cloud of smoke, and as soon as they laughed with their companions, a black gas suddenly surged up on their faces, and then they fell to the ground, not moving, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The generals who led the army were shocked when they saw this, and knew that there was something wrong with the smoke, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to withdraw from the woods. As soon as the order came out, the soldiers naturally retreated slowly, but the fallen comrades could not be ignored, and naturally a few people stepped forward to help those who fell, and before they could take a closer look, they were set up to retreat backwards.

At this moment, the strange cloud of smoke suddenly changed, and began to roll and slowly spread, drifting towards the outside of the trees. The soldiers with their comrades on their shoulders walked slowly, and when they were caught off guard by the smoke, they also fell to the ground.

The rest of the soldiers were frightened and hurriedly turned around and fled, but the speed of the smoke was getting faster and faster, and the speed of drifting was also increasing until it came out of the woods, and did not slow down in the slightest, and continued to envelop the army.

When the generals who led the army saw this, they were even more frightened, and hurriedly gave the order again, and the soldiers stopped caring about anything else, turned their heads and ran backwards, just to get out of the pursuit of the strange smoke.

Huang Xue's location was in the vanguard of the troops, and she was also among the soldiers who fled for their lives at this time. Although she is a woman, she has practiced some martial arts, so she is not slower than the average man.

But at this time, there is no order, everyone only cares about running for their lives, and no one cares about the people around them. After all, Huang Xue's body is a woman, her body is delicate, and she was hit by several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, and she suddenly staggered a little, and it was easy to control it and not fall, but she had fallen to the end of the escape team. She looked back and saw that the smoke was less than three feet away from her, and she was about to catch up.

At this time, the speed of the smoke fluttering has already exceeded the running speed of normal people, Huang Xue felt a burst of despair in her heart, and calculated while running, I am afraid that if she has five or six breaths of work at most, she will not be able to escape the fate of being wrapped in smoke.

Suddenly, the mutation happened again. In the direction of her escape, a strong wind blew on the flat ground, blowing everyone slowly, and the smoke was blown by the strong wind, and immediately rolled upside down and drifted back into the woods, unable to move forward at all. In a matter of moments, the smoke vanished into the woods and disappeared without a trace.

This gust of wind blew so suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, everyone's danger was relieved, making everyone a little stunned. Seeing this, the general who led the troops was overjoyed and shouted: "Soldiers, don't panic, we are the teachers of the Son of Heaven, and naturally we are blessed by the Mandate of Heaven, and it is difficult for demons and monsters to invade." ”

All the panting soldiers also had a feeling of the aftermath at this time, and it was when the mood was agitated, listening to the general's shouting, they all shouted: "The teacher of the Son of Heaven, the Mandate of Heaven protects, the division of the Son of Heaven, the Mandate of Heaven protects." Huang Xue was affected by this atmosphere, and she also shouted, and at this time, she also had a feeling that she was blessed by the destiny of heaven.

Sixteen soldiers were found to have been engulfed in smoke and found with their bodies as stiff as stones.

After Huang Xue calmed down, she thought back to the incident again, and she was sure that it was the murderer who had poisoned her before to attack again and want to take her life. However, this time the murderer made such a big fuss that more than ten people were killed, obviously after the first two failures, he had lost his patience. I don't know where the master of drug use came from, what kind of grudge and grudge, he didn't hesitate to involve so many innocent people, and he had to take his own life.

What makes Huang Xue even more helpless is that after the events of the past few days, the law and discipline in the army have become stricter, and the number of soldiers on the night vigil has increased by 200, and there is also a rumor in the army, and everyone's words and deeds are monitored at all times. She didn't say that she had escaped, and it was difficult to find a chance to even take out the food from the cannon brand.

Maybe it was the precautions in the army that played a role, and in the next five days, nothing happened, and the soldiers began to relax a little, all of them said that the previous danger was just a coincidence, and now they have moved away from the army.

They don't know that this kind of psychology is exactly the trick of the murderer.

On this day, it was still a hot noon, and the army was on the march, when suddenly a scout from the front came to report that there was a small river six feet wide in front of it, the water was not deep, but it was clear and cool.

This is a great benefit, everyone has been exposed to the sun all morning, and the drinking water they carry with them has already been hot, although it can quench their thirst, but it does not quench the heat at all. And everyone is sweating profusely and dusty, if you can wash your face refreshingly, it is also a supreme enjoyment.

In this case, the generals had long forgotten the danger of the previous day, and as soon as the order was given, a group of soldiers rushed towards the front.

After a while, a small river appeared in front of everyone, gurgling and clear. The soldiers cheered, and without waiting for the general's orders, they rushed to the river, some of them took the river water and drank it, some of them poured their faces with the water, and some of them simply jumped into the river with their clothes.

Huang Xue was in the second batch of teams to rush to the river, the weather has been very hot these days, and she has already been complaining, this intensity has far exceeded her previous college military training. At this time, I was also very happy to see the river, so I walked upstream along the river, and also picked up some river water and drank a few sips, only to feel very comfortable. By the river, there was a happy scene.

Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded in Huang Xue's ears: "Sister Daji, this water can't be drunk." ”

Huang Xue was first shocked when she heard this, and then she was happy, this voice, this tone, she was really familiar, but it was Zhao Gongming, the disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master. She hurriedly spoke: "Brother Gongming, where are you?"

Gongming's voice sounded again in his ears: "Sister Daji, it's inconvenient for me to come out now, anyway, if you drink this river water, you will die, you must not drink it." ”

Huang Xue was shocked when she heard this, and remembered the murderer who had poisoned everywhere in the past few days, so she hurriedly left the river water a little farther away, and said, "Is this river water poisonous? ”

"What?" Komeito's voice sounded again, his tone slightly surprised: "Why have you already drunk? That's terrible, I didn't pay attention this morning, you walked so fast." Alas, it's just ......" As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind and sand swept by, and a figure appeared in front of her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, white clothes fluttering, and a paper fan swaying gently, but it was not Zhao Gongming.

Huang Xue was overjoyed and was about to say hello to him, but was interrupted by his life. The surrounding soldiers were all shocked when they saw a person suddenly appear, and they all picked up the weapons in their hands and asked, "Who is it?"

Gongming glanced at the soldiers and said leisurely: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, your death is approaching, while you still have the strength, go find a good cemetery for yourself, don't hold those things to scare Ben Gongzi." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they didn't know what it meant, and they all looked at each other. Seeing this, a general stepped forward, and saw that Gongming was dressed elegantly and had an extraordinary temperament, so he was a little more polite, and said, "This son, I don't know who you are, what do you mean by what you just said?"

Gongming looked him up and down, and said slowly: "Seeing that you are still polite, it doesn't hurt for this son to tell you, the water you just drank has been poisoned, and I am afraid that you will vomit blood and die in a few moments." ”

As if to cooperate with what he said, suddenly, some of the soldiers who had reached the river first suddenly screamed, suddenly covered their necks with their hands, and then spat out blood in large gulps, and their bodies slowly collapsed.

The general was startled, pulled out the long knife on his waist, pointed at Gongming, and said, "But you poisoned?"

Gongming shook his head and sighed: "I praised you for being polite just now, I don't know how long your eyes are, if my son wants to kill you, why do you need to use such a shoddy means of poisoning." It's not me, it's not me. ”

The general was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Huang Xue on the side saw that there were more and more poisonous soldiers at this time, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Gongming, don't be poor here, save everyone." ”

Gongming frowned and said, "I don't know these people, why should I save them?"

When Huang Xue heard this, she stomped her feet and said, "These people have been with me for many days, and they are all poisoned because of me, how can I see death and not save me." You say, can you help me?" He was still the image of a seven-foot bearded man at this time, his voice was thick, and his tone was full of coquettishness, and everyone on the side felt goosebumps when they saw it.

Gongming's face was also a little disgusting at this time, and he said, "Okay, okay, you take off the yellow wolf first, and I'll save people, okay." ”

When Huang Xue heard this, she immediately turned her anger into joy, took off the top of the yellow wolf, and suddenly turned into a charming and peerless woman, and everyone around her was shocked when she saw it. Gongming saw the pretty face that was disgusting and happy at first glance, and his face also showed a look of intoxication, until Huang Xue urged "Save people quickly" again, and he said loudly: "Ximei nephew, come out, I have something to say to you." ”

As soon as the words fell, a smaller soldier walked out of the crowd, he raised his head, only revealing a dark face, but the voice was a woman's voice, and said to Gongming: "How did Uncle Shi come here? Could it be that he came here after his nephew?" This voice Huang Xue had also heard, but it was the yellow-clothed banshee in the Three Holy Caves of Mopan Mountain.

Gongming smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, I just passed by here and just happened to meet it, so don't be suspicious." ”

The yellow-clothed banshee was puzzled: "Just met?"

Gongming hurriedly said: "It definitely happened to happen." ”
