Tu Qitang is worthy of being a person who has seen the world, in this evil mountain, two long swords are pointed at his chest, and another inch can take his life, and his face will not change.

"What are you anxious about, I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Tu Qitang smiled mockingly, stood in place and did not retreat, looked at the medicine gourd that was on guard, and said quietly, "The Xiling Sect originated from Stara Mountain, old gourd, I'm not wrong!" ”

The medicine gourd snorted coldly, and the little eyes that flickered with cold light stared at him without blinking: "So what? ”

"Xiling Sect is not a cult as people in the rivers and lakes say, for hundreds of years, the Xiling Sect punished the traitors and eliminated the evil for the people to petition, and when the horse bandits were rampant in the Western Regions, they also participated in the suppression of bandits regardless of life and death. Old gourd, I'm not wrong about that! ”

The medicine gourd opened his mouth impatiently: "What exactly do you want to say?" Yes, the Xiling Sect did a lot of good things at the beginning, but the degeneration of the Xiling Sect is also obvious to all, since the previous sect leader went mad and died violently, the Xiling Sect has become a mess of scattered sand, and those so-called sect members are competing to cultivate demonic skills, burning, killing, and plundering everything! Such an evil Xiling Sect, you still complain about it, do you also believe in their way and destroy the conscience of heaven for the sake of practicing demonic skills! ”

Tu Qitang smiled reluctantly: "I just hope you don't overturn a boatload of people with a rod, there are good and evil among the sect, not everyone is like this monster who harms the people." I don't say this to defend the monster, on the contrary, I will do my best to exterminate it, but please retract your prejudices against the Xiling Sect, and don't always call them a cult. ”

Shi Zhong withdrew his sword and sneered at each other: "Then have you ever heard that 'the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill', these evil cultists may only be a minority, but the impact is incalculable. If it weren't for the poor teaching of the Xiling Sect, how could there be such a tragedy of the tragic death of the people. ”

Chang Hui shook the sword in his hand and said intimidatingly: "Don't talk nonsense, be honest, are you from the Xiling Cult?" ”

Tu Qitang swept towards them indifferently and said lightly: "Stara Mountain is in the territory of rest, and the Xiling Sect has made meritorious contributions to the encirclement and suppression of horse bandits back then, and my father once commended them. Not only did the royal family affirm their merits, but the people also unanimously praised them, and if you don't believe it, he will rest in peace, just ask about it. ”

The medicine gourd retracted his gaze, raised a torch to illuminate the surroundings, followed the strong smell of blood and found a cave not far away, and hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go into the cave and have a look." ”

Chang Hui put away his sword, glanced at Tu Qitang, and teased: "Do the right thing first, don't talk to you, but you must know that it is not right to favor the cult, you can't call them good people because they haven't harmed your people, if you are a Qiuzi person, it's too late for you to hate them!" ”

The medicine gourd cat burrowed into the cave, and the topic of whether the Xiling Sect was a cult came to an end for the time being, and Shi Zhong, Liu Ye, Chang Hui and Tu Qitang followed into the cave, at this time their common goal was to eliminate the monster "Three-eyed Leech" and prevent more innocent people from dying.

The cave is hidden, under the cover of trees and does not see sunlight all year round, and the entrance of the cave is about five feet high and three feet wide, which can only accommodate one person to pass through. Fortunately, everyone is generally thin, except for Chang Hui, who has some difficulty, everyone else passed relatively easily.

Chang Hui squeezed into the cave with her shoulders curled, her shoulders covered in foul-smelling slime despite his caution. He frowned disgustingly, pinched his nose and walked forward, every step of the soles of his feet was like stepping in the mire, and he couldn't step on it softly, and finally took a few steps forward, and stepped on something as sticky and slippery as snot, and he was a little careless, and almost fell into the mire.

The medicine gourd led the way in front, he took off the cloth belt wrapped around his waist for more than a dozen circles and handed it to Shizhong, who immediately understood it and passed it to Liu Ye, who in turn passed it to Tu Qitang, who in turn passed it to Chang Hui. Several of them all wore this cloth belt around their hands, and even if someone accidentally stepped on the trap, the others could rescue each other in the first place.

Accustomed to the stench in the cave, Chang Hui didn't bother to cover his nose, the mucus on his shoulders penetrated the cloth and clung to the skin, a little itchy and stinging, but this discomfort was nothing to him, and continued to keep up with them.

After walking more than a hundred steps like this, they came to a fork in the road, and there were three forks in the road ahead, along which way they could find the monster is unknown. Because the smell of blood is heavy at every fork in the road, maybe monsters hide at the end of one of the roads, maybe there are monsters at the end of each road.

The medicine gourd stopped, hesitantly looking back and forth at the three forks in the road, thinking that if they went separately, I am afraid that the danger would be higher, but if they went down together, in case the retreat was blocked by the monster, wouldn't there be no way out! Before, the medicine gourd thought that there was only one monster on the mountain, but now I am not sure, God knows how many monsters there are in this cave, what should I do if I rush into it?

The monsters of the "three-eyed leeches" are human, fierce, brutal, bloodthirsty, and ruthless, they have lost their human nature, but they are still shrewd and cunning. Medicine Gourd and the others found the cave and walked for so long, it was impossible for the monster not to notice it, maybe it also knew that it had fought with Medicine Gourd, so it hid in the shadows and looked for an opportunity to attack.

Seeing the hesitation of the medicine gourd, Liu Ye proposed: "Since the three forks in the road may be the hiding place of the monster, then let's guard it here!" The monster can't withstand the yang energy, and the most powerful time is the child time, and when the sun comes out tomorrow, that is, when its power is the weakest, won't we have a better chance of winning if we catch it! ”

Everyone pondered for a moment, thinking about the feasibility of her proposal, and Shi Zhong said: "The princess is right, instead of distracting her strength and taking risks, it is better to wait for the rabbit." If the monster is not willing to be caught and wants to rush out to find a way to survive, we can concentrate our forces on it by staying here. ”

Chang Hui patted his head and suddenly realized: "Just now the princess said that I haven't figured it out yet, but I understand when the master says this." Anyway, this is the place where monsters must pass in and out, and no matter where it hides, it has to come out of here. We can pick a random path to get in, and we may be able to win the trick, and we have a better chance of staying here. Monsters are afraid of the sun, we are not afraid, just consume it with it, and see who can consume whom! ”

"The monster naturally understands this truth, and it is not good for it to consume it, maybe it will fight with us when it is the most powerful." Tu Qitang vigilantly inspected the three long paths in front of him.

"Fight it, fight it, who is afraid of it, let's go to the entrance of the cave and wait, sit and wait for the sun to rise......" Chang Hui said with a smile with wishful thinking.

The medicine gourd shook his head: "The monster is quite cunning, it is not as simple as we think, I suspect that it has other ways out, and I am afraid that it will escape if it goes far." I can feel its evil aura now, it must be nearby. Okay, as the princess said, let's wait here. If this monster has the ability, don't come out, catch it tomorrow morning. ”

Everyone agreed, to respond to all changes, waiting to fight the monster in the same place. There was not enough oxygen in the cave, and the light of the torches was getting weaker and weaker, and everyone waited quietly, waiting for the monster to take the initiative to appear when it could not hold its breath, waiting for the moment when the sun rose.

Liu Ye's feet stepped on the mud, and the mud gradually adhered to the skin through his shoes, at first he felt itchy, and then it was itchy and numb, like thousands of insects, crawling up his feet densely, gnawing at the skin and flesh while crawling, and the places he crawled over were extremely itchy, and from time to time there was a pain that pierced his heart.

Liu Ye's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, she really couldn't bear it, she gently pulled down the sleeve of Shizhong, and whispered: "My feet are so itchy, it's so itchy that I can't stand it." ”

Shi Zhong was stunned for a moment and said, "I also feel this way, but I can bear it, maybe my feet are uncomfortable soaked in mud!" Come, come on my back! ”

"But, you ......" Liu Ye didn't want him to work too hard, so Shizhong couldn't help but pull her arms and carry her on his back.

Tu Qitang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, heard the movement, opened his eyes and saw that they were so close, he couldn't say anything in his heart, and said sourly: "It is said that you Han people have the most courtesy, but now it seems that it is just like that, and even a mere attendant can desecrate the phoenix body." ”

Liu Ye hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, my feet are uncomfortable, and Master Shi ...... out of understanding."

"Then I can also carry you, I am a prince anyway, I am equivalent to your status, out of understanding it is not too much to touch your skin, he is just an attendant, what qualifications do you have to be close to you." As soon as Liu Ye said this, Tu Qitang was overwhelmed.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are too worried, I am the princess's attendant, and it is my duty to take care of the princess. The prince's status is noble, how can this kind of physical work bother you. "The division is neither humble nor arrogant.

Chang Hui scratched the itch on his shoulder, and mocked in annoyance: "You are red-eyed, you are also here to be an attendant for the princess!" In front of the princess, there are some things that shouldn't have been said, but you are too much, we are all men, don't think I can't see your thoughts, don't you just want to take the opportunity to get cheap! What kind of identity is the princess, how can you be defiled, whether you are a prince at rest or what, just you, a guy with a full stomach and intestines, are embarrassed to say that you have pure yang blood, and you are not afraid of people's jokes, cut! ”

Tu Qitang was about to say something, but the medicine gourd waved his hand and asked with a serious expression, "Princess, why are your feet uncomfortable?" ”

Liu Ye had a bitter face and said embarrassedly: "It's very itchy, it's unpleasant, but I can bear it, Master Shi, let me down!" ”

Liu Ye was embarrassed, because she asked to come up the mountain, and now she just encountered a little difficulty, so she shouted that she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't give up halfway after thinking about it.

Yao Hulu looked at Chang Hui, who was uncomfortable, and asked, "What's wrong with General Chang's arm?" ”

"I ......" Chang Hui pointed to herself, refusing to admit that she was also very uncomfortable, and pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little itchy, just scratch it." ”

"Where did your arm touch? How can it itch? The medicine gourd then asked.

"That's it, I just ran into the hole when I entered the cave...... Chang Hui said embarrassedly, "Alas, I'm too big, so I squeezed it over." ”

The medicine gourd asked Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang again: "Do you have any itch on your body?" ”

Shi Zhong nodded: "I'm like a princess, with itchy feet." ”

Tu Qitang said inexplicably: "Me too, it's normal for my feet to be soaked in mud and a little itchy!" ”

"It's not normal!" The medicine gourd immediately denied, "In this cave, it's not normal to be a little abnormal!" Your feet itch when they soak in the mud, and General Chang's arms itch when they touch the hole, and I don't feel anything. Is this normal? ”

Tu Qitang was puzzled: "Then what do you say is the reason?" ”

Yao Hulu Zhengse said: "There is only one reason, you are poisoned." ”

"Poisoned? So how are you okay? ”

"Boy, my old man has dealt with poison all his life, and he can't help me with poisons that are fatal to ordinary people, of course I don't feel this poison. Forget it, let's go out first, in case this poison can be fatal, it's too late! General Chang, go back the way you came! ”

As soon as the medicine gourd spoke, Chang Hui turned around and walked out, and as soon as he raised his foot, the whole person suddenly lost his center of gravity, and half of his body fell into the mud.
