Running to the master's side in a panic, I exclaimed with a numb scalp: "It's really worthy of Gu Mountain, it's really full of five poisons...... How can this be?! ”

The master also seemed to be a little embarrassed, and looked up at Shi Lan, only to see Shi Lan unhurriedly took out a small bottle, then poured out a touch of black powder, and casually sprinkled it around. Suddenly, those poisonous scorpions retreated one after another, and some of them directly found a stone crack and drilled in, I was dumbfounded, such a big battle was so vulnerable in Shi Lan's hands. The Gu Master's power really deserves his reputation.

"Sister-in-law Lan, what is the powder you just sprinkled?" I asked curiously, "I saw you just sprinkle some out, and all those poisonous scorpions ran away, isn't that amazing?" ”

Shi Lan smiled and put away the small bottle, and said, "That's just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart." The powder I used just now is a Gu refined with five poisons, and then the Gu is crushed into powder, these little things are naturally afraid of it, for Gu masters, in front of Gu powder, these poisonous insects are nothing, but the real Gu poison is the most terrifying! ”

I couldn't help but tremble a little in my heart, Shi Lan is so powerful, then her uncle Ma Xian's mother-in-law doesn't know how powerful it is. It's just terrible......

However, I am very interested in the Gu powder in that small bottle, if I also have a bottle of Gu powder like that, I will follow Master over the mountains and mountains in the future, and I will no longer have to be afraid of poisonous insects. It's a pity that I know that Sister-in-law Lan will definitely be reluctant to give it to me.

Having dispersed the poisonous scorpions, Shi Lan walked ahead with torches, and Master and I followed briskly behind. It is still necessary to deal with those poisonous insects, so we can't be too far away, so as not to be besieged by those poisonous insects again...... We didn't know that the mountain we came up on was not where the Five Poison Caves were located. According to Shi Lan, the Five Poison Caves are still on the mountain next door.

In this way, we were on the wrong trail.

However, these two hills are on the same mountain, so there is no need to go down the mountain again, but just go down the hill and climb up the next hill. It only takes three or five hours to walk like this, but Shi Lan said this, I have no bottom in my heart, after all, I have to deal with poisonous insects that come up at any time along the way, not only poisonous scorpions, but also other more terrifying things, such as those lightning-fast poisonous snakes, which can run faster than people, especially on this rugged hillside.

Originally, he planned to go up to the top of the mountain and find a safe place to rest, but Shi Lan said that this mountain should not stay for a long time, those Gu powders can only deter for about an hour, once the hour passes, the deterrent effect of Gu powder will inevitably disappear, and the Gu powder that Shi Lan brought can't be squandered like this at all. Once the Gu powder is exhausted, we will have to go into battle with our bare hands.

Of course, we can't deal with those poisonous insects with our bare hands, so we have to climb the next hill.

I don't know if it's sweat or fog, my clothes are already wet and sticky to my body, and the cold smell around me makes me feel very uncomfortable. It was literally honing one's willpower, and soon, halfway up the hill next door, I couldn't climb anymore.

"Master, I can't do it anymore......" I gasped for breath and waved my hand, "I want to take a break, now I am hungry and thirsty, tired and cold, it is so uncomfortable, this place is simply not a place for people!" ”

Master and Shi Lan were no better, they were each panting, but Shi Lan opened his mouth at this moment: "Ergou, if we don't rush to the Five Poison Cave as soon as possible, we won't be able to find a drop of water to drink here, and there are many poisonous insects in this place, so we can't stay here to rest!" ”

Hearing Shi Lan's words, the master sighed lightly: "Let's listen to Sister-in-law Lan's words, let's continue to climb up." At this pace, I think I will be able to climb to the top of the mountain in half an hour, and it will not be too late to rest when I get to the place. ”

With that, the two of them continued to climb up again. I sighed aggrievedly, and had to follow their footsteps to continue to climb up, at this moment, I almost regretted that my bowels were blue, I knew that I should not have come here, how good it would be to stay at the foot of the mountain honestly. However, I still have the Heart Devouring Gu in my body that I haven't solved, and I have to drink the raw blood of Ma Xian's mother-in-law to solve the Gu, alas, my life is too bitter. Why does Long Po have to give me Gu?

Complaining all the way, we came to the top of the mountain after more than an hour, but this is not a mountaintop, but a slope position, next to a higher mountain, and there are many mountain platforms in front of us. And the road is not too difficult to walk, as if the place has been repaired. It's strange that I didn't see any poisonous insects when I came to this place.

Shi Lan pointed straight ahead and said: "There is no longer a short distance to reach the Five Poison Cave, the Five Poison Cave is where my master and ancestor lived, and the poisonous insects around do not dare to be presumptuous within ten zhang." You can rest assured that you don't have to worry about poisonous insects suddenly appearing to besiege us! ”

Master frowned and motioned for me to follow. Our group did not stop there, but came to the Five Poison Cave with torches, at this moment, our torches were almost burned, and under the reflection of the firelight, we saw a huge cave entrance, which appeared in front of us. Seeing this scene, Shi Lan's expression was slightly complicated, but she didn't sigh much, pointed to this cave and said, "This is the Five Poison Cave. But no one has lived in it for decades, so let's go inside and have a look. ”

In order to confuse Granny Maxian and make Granny Maxian think that Shi Lan had looked for the mantle of the ancestor here, we must clean up this place. Then we must also enter this cave of five poisons.

It's just that I don't know if there is danger in these five poisonous caves, but Shi Lan said that no poisonous insects dare to come in and be presumptuous within a radius of ten zhang from this place, and I feel a little comforted in my heart. On one side of the cave was a sink-like thing, Shi Lan said that it was a vessel used to collect rainwater, and I saw that there was still water in it, so I hurriedly lay on it and poured it in a big gulp, and then found something for the master to fill some.

When you really walk into this cave, you find that there is a different cave. Outside are two separate caves, and further inside, there is a passage that spirals down, looking at this passage, Shi Lan nodded and said: "Below this passage are several small caves, which can be regarded as the secret room used by my master, and all kinds of Gu raised by him are stored in it. Let's go in and have a look. ”

Master and Shi Lan put together the two remaining torches and walked down the passage, while I collected some dry firewood in the cave above and made a fire.

This five-poison cave can be described as empty, cold and cold. I was roasting the fire, and I couldn't help but feel around, and there were many strange things hanging on the stone wall, most of them containers for things, such as blackened old gourds, withered and shriveled, and some animal sacs, but they were all covered with dust, and I was a little curious about everything here, but I was not so reckless as to touch it. I don't even want to touch anything here.

After a while, when I saw that Master had not yet come out of the passage, I couldn't help shaking my clothes, and after the fire, my body was a little warm, so I groped my way down the passage.

When I came to the secret room below, I saw that Master and Shi Lan were both stunned to look at everything around them, which was not just as simple as being dilapidated and withered, it was simply a ruin, and many small caves separated by something had collapsed by something, and none of them were even intact.

Shi Lan frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Ma Xian must have been here, maybe he didn't find the mantle left by his ancestor, so he ruined this place in a fit of anger!" ”

Master nodded and said, "The more she can't find it, the more likely it is that she will suspect that this place still hides the mantle of your sect, and she will surely come here tomorrow." ”

"That's not right!" Shi Lan suddenly ran to the deepest part of the secret room in shock, and said angrily: "There was originally a secret passage here, which could lead to the back of the mountain, but the secret passage was destroyed, and looking at this trace, it doesn't look like it has been for a long time, ah?" This, this is only recently ruined! ”

"Huh?" Master's face was stunned, and he hurriedly came to Shi Lan's side, I also ran over, and looked down, and saw that the traces of cracking of the mountain rocks did look like new, which showed that this secret passage had been destroyed recently, and the master said in surprise: "If it was Ma Xian's mother-in-law who destroyed this secret passage, then what was her intention?" Do you want to cut off your back road when you seize the mantle this time, and then ......?"

Shi Lan shook her head and said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, with what I know about her, if she really wants to deal with me here and then take away the mantle, her deeds alone are enough for me to be overwhelmed, and there is no need to cut off my back road at all." I'm afraid the person she wants to guard against is not me, but ...... It's Yang Dao Chang you! ”

"Me?" The master was stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, since this secret passage has only been destroyed recently, it means that she has just received the news from you and has already come here, so she should also know that I will help you deal with her, so to speak...... We're in her trap right now?! Not good! Let's get out of here! ”

"Huh! It is worthy of Yang Yuanshan, the tantric master of the Maoshan faction, who thought of it so quickly that I would set up a trap and wait for you. Although you came here one day in advance, but I came here two days in advance, you want to set a trap to deal with the old woman and me, then the old woman will first set up a trap and wait for you, the secret passage has been sealed, and now you have no way out, and this passage, with the old woman and I guard, do you still want to come out?! ”

Suddenly, an old voice came from outside the passage when I came in, the voice was cold and ruthless, listening to my ears, but it made my heart full of chills!
