Everyone turned sideways into the cave, and the long beard said apologetically: "The horses are in this barren mountain and wilderness, and they are under the watchful eye of the fierce enemy at all times. ”

Meng smiled and sat down cross-legged with everyone, and said quietly: "Conquering the people in the Demon Realm, everyone understands that their fate is outside, and it is the most prudent and unacceptable thing before handing over the army, please don't see it outside." ”

The third young man turned his head to look around Shi Yan, and said in a deep voice, "This is a death valley, right?" ”

The red face nodded, and said with a silver hair: "Yes, the bottom of the valley is blocked by the cliff, up the sky, down into the ground, the birds are difficult to cross, the old man and others temporarily live in this cave, and the other disciples have to sleep in the valley." ”

San Shao smiled and said, "I know, when I came in, I saw countless disciples lying around, wrapped in felt, talking and laughing happily, but it was very leisurely. ”

The silver-haired man on one side smiled and said, "If you don't take advantage of this time to rest to your heart's content, why don't you still practice as hard as you do on the prairie?" ”

Meng suddenly interjected: "Lords, have the surrounding warnings been prepared?" ”

San Shao also asked nervously, "What about the horses?" ”

The red face smiled leisurely, and said: "Ten hidden piles have been laid around the valley, and nineteen cards have been laid in the dangerous places of the ** mountain, if there is no action before tonight, little white face, the people and horses of your blood word gate will start to take over, and the horses are hidden at the bottom of the valley." ”

San Shao snorted and said, "I mean, tonight we will select a few good players to sneak in and investigate, and tomorrow we will pick a time to kill the generals!" ”

Meng pursed his lips and said slowly: "It's best to start all the actions tonight, because there is very little chance of sneaking in, and there is very little chance of not showing your face, so you can just go all out and do it at once!" ”

The red face slapped his palms, and said in a loud voice: "Brother is right, I have been trapped in this valley of death for many days, and I can really make people crazy, so let's go out and breathe!" ”

Stretching his legs, San Shao said a little tiredly: "If I act tonight, I have to sleep first, and the blood word gate will also rest immediately, and it won't be long before the sunset now." ”

San Shao blinked at Meng and lay down, his upper body just touched the grass and sat up suddenly, as if he remembered something: "Lao Hong, have we brought all our special gadgets?" ”

The red face smiled and said, "Of course I brought all of them, one tung oil yellow phosphorus belt per person, three sulfur bombs, ten pine branch arrows soaked in oil, plus a box of "cotton belly spiders", which is enough for him to jump ......

With a long sigh, San Shao lay down again, Meng lowered his eyes, and thought silently in his heart: "The enemy is long with his ruthless and sinister fighting skills, but when he encounters these visitors from the peerless faction, he is afraid that he will not be able to take advantage of them, just looking at these strange things they carry, it is disgusting enough......"

Thinking about it, the red face turned to him and smiled: "The 'cotton snake' is a kind of poisonous snake in the gap covered by heavy clouds in Changbai Mountain, it does not come out of the cave where it lives all the year round, it is nurtured by the cold and cold, and the nature is extremely violent, the size is like a slap, after biting into the skin of the animal, within six pairs, the bitten person and animal will be purple and black, the whole body is swollen, and the smelly yellow water flows and dies; The place where the snake 'lives' will also have a strange grass that bears green fruits and two leaves at the entrance of its cave, this green fruit is fragrant and fragrant, refreshing people's hearts, and can be smelled in a few zhang away, and the green fruit is picked and crushed into powder, and then boiled into a pulp with brown sugar, after people and animals take it, this 'snake will not dare to approach, and even touch it with its hands, it will also cringe and become a ball......

Meng said thoughtfully: "Why don't you just swallow that green fruit and boil it with brown sugar?" ”

Changfen next to him suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, have you ever eaten unripe green apricots?" The taste of the green fruit is similar to that of green apricots, sour and astringent, and it is hard to swallow without sugar. ”

The red face stroked the silver hair, and said: "There are many poisons in the world, but life is mutually restrictive, and there must be a cure for one thing, and there is always such a grass growing outside the mouth of the cave where the 'cotton snake' lives, and these poisonous insects have to lie dormant in the cave, and they dare not take a step beyond the thunder pond for life." ”

Meng asked, "So, in addition to preventing bites, can this green fruit also heal the poisonous wounds of bites?" ”

The red face smiled proudly: "The function is exactly the same, the effect is incomparable, we call this green fruit 'Qingzhi'." ”

The long beard interjected and said: "As long as you take it once, this pulp can be protected from the invasion of 'hundred poisons' for at least ten years, fortunately, there is also this thing, otherwise, few people will dare to dig the old ginseng." ”

Speaking of this, he clapped his hands twice, and the figure outside the cave flashed, and a tall young man in white walked in, holding a porcelain bowl with a lid in his hand.

The silver-haired man said in a deep voice: "Brother, Qingzhi syrup has already been prepared, please drink." ”

Meng stood up, took the porcelain bowl from the silver-clothed young man's hand, just opened the lid, a osmanthus-like fragrance has entered the nose tube, he took a deep breath, looked at the bowl, translucent light green slurry, raised his neck and drank it all, the tip of his tongue turned in his mouth, well, there was still a thick and mellow fragrance and a slight sourness.

Taking the bowl, he smiled and said, "How does it taste?" ”

Meng licked his lips and said, "Well, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant." ”

Redface's broad face turned a little redder, and he said loudly, "From now on, it will be dedicated to the enemy again!" ”

Everyone in the cave laughed when they heard this, and everyone chatted for a while, and the two disciples had already brought in dinner, wind chicken, salted meat, dried buns, and a large vat of spirits "burning knives", although not exquisite, but rich and affordable.

Everyone was eating and drinking, but San Shao took a sip of wine, and said uninterestedly: "As the saying goes, 'eating and drinking dew' is really this tune, eating and drinking all day long is cold food and cold tea, and the mouth is numb, which is not much different from eating wind and drinking dew......"

The red face stuffed a piece of braised beef into his mouthful, took another sip of wine, and said vaguely: "It's good that you don't eat it...... When you are hungry, you can eat the meat of the thief raw...... It's hot, bloody......"

"Phew", San Shao also tore off a wind chicken leg and gnawed it, but his brows furrowed, Meng was eating and drinking slowly, and talking about something with the long beard in a low voice......

When dinner was over, the sky had already darkened, and the western sky was full of oolong-like clouds, rolling, gradually gathering over, covering the whole sky, and it was a sad crying face.

The wind rises, so cold that it can penetrate into the cracks of people's bones, and the wind still carries fluttering rain threads, like threads, like nets, binding people's hearts heavy and depressed.

In the cave, the four people were all quietly closing their eyes to recuperate, outside the cave, more than a hundred disciples had already prepared each set up a folded oilcloth, and suddenly it looked like a small rectangular tent, and the people were hiding under the oilcloth, wrapped in gray wool felt, but they were also quite comfortable, and they only suffered the defenders who put the sentry cloth.

Time just passed a little bit, a little bit passed, the wind blew more and more cold, the rain was still so heavy, there was no energy, it was dense, outside the valley, I was afraid that it would be even more chilling.

The night was as thick as ink, and nothing could be seen beyond a few paces, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the occasional clear whistle.

The pine branch torch inserted in the crack of the cave wall burned shorter and shorter, and the sound of peeling exploded from time to time, and the grease flowed down the stone wall, and there was a pungent smell of pine burning, sitting cross-legged, with a red face, he suddenly opened his eyes, glanced out of the cave, clapped his palms, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, it's time." ”

Sanshao jumped up, stretched his waist for a long time, and said unsatisfactorily: "So fast? What time is it? ”

The red face said: "It's about to get up, let's follow the previous decision, send the master into the interior to disturb, and the team should cooperate from the outside, hoping to sweep away the bandits in one fell swoop and rescue the daughter of the master!" ”
