The mountains were full of stacks of fallen leaves, and the fat merchant was panting for breath, but his feet were extra light. Xingevil noticed that the man's footsteps seemed random, but he deliberately avoided the yellow leaves, and stepped on the dry dirt, barely making the slightest sound. It seems that this businessman also has a seven-trick exquisite heart that does not match his appearance.

"This little brother, if you go any further, you will be there, six or seven jackals, grinning and scaring to death, I see that you are not very old, you should be careful when you meet them later. The merchant struggled to wipe away the beads of sweat from his face, and said again and again.

"If it's out of the way, six or seven wolves can still deal with it, but when the time comes, you have to hide in a safe place, so as not to hurt you by mistake. Star Demon smiled gratefully.

The fat merchant also squeezed a struggling smile from his face, and said, "I heard that your accent is also from Xingzhou, right?"

Xing Xie nodded and replied seriously: "My home is in Chishui City, Xingzhou. ”

The fat businessman seemed to be very happy to find his fellow countryman, and suddenly opened the conversation: " I know there, it's quite far away from us, our caravan is from Wuyang, Xingzhou, Yin Jia, the largest trading house in the twilight, will know no, their branch in Wuyang is next door to us, good guys, that's called a magnificent, every inch of land is a place to buy a yard of hundreds of acres, I heard that their business houses are escorted by cultivators, hey, we can't afford to hire cultivators to do small business, if we can have one or two people follow the whole process, we won't fall into this step......"

"Wuyang is the center of Xingzhou, and I used to live there for half a month when I was studying abroad, which is indeed much more prosperous than our hometown. Xing Xie noticed that the deeper he went, the more cold the flow of vitality between heaven and earth became, and this feeling made him a little uneasy, so he lost his mind for a while, and only then did he pick up the bull's head and not the horse's mouth.

However, the fat merchant didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and still introduced with high interest: "The competition between large local commercial houses like Wuyang is particularly fierce, and it is not easy to make a living, almost all the businesses around Xingzhou are monopolized by Yin Jiahui, and we can only take the trade of border passes like Shuanglian and Shayang, many years ago, I took my caravan to Shuanglian Town, probably in the front area, and encountered wolves." ”

"You've walked this path before?" asked Star Demon in surprise.

"Listen to me. The merchant beckoned, and then said: "At that time, more than 20 of us were surrounded by more than a dozen wolves, those wolves were not ordinary wolves, it was a well-trained army, it was extremely difficult to deal with, my companions desperately sent me out, let me find someone to help, I ran a long way and finally came to the official road, I met a team of hunters from a nearby village, I begged them to go back with me to save people, and promised to give them a heavy reward, who would have thought that the group of black-hearted hunters only agreed on the surface, but secretly wanted to make money and kill them. ”

"And then?" "Starevil stopped, no longer moving forward. At this time, the two of them stood in the quiet mountain forest, the energy of heaven and earth that should have been full of vitality seemed to be blocked, and Xingxie finally discovered the root of his uneasiness all along: the fat merchant in front of him was not only weirdly stepping on the ground silently, the two of them stood under the thin sunlight, except for the mottled silhouette of leaves on the ground, only the lonely shadow of Xingxie was left.

When I was a child, in the small courtyard of Chishui City, the teacher always lay on the rickety rattan rocking chair, fanning the fan, and slowly warned them that this group of little children who like to string around like to mess around, and they like to encounter ghosts when walking at night, if you find a person without a shadow on the road one day, it is a ghost.

Ghosts have no shadows, because they are not entities, so when they step on the ground, they naturally do not make a sound.

The fat merchant covered in blood walked to the bottom of a big locust tree with a nostalgic face, he affectionately stroked the rough trunk, as if caressing the cheek of his lover, and the star evil found that there was an incomplete skeleton buried under the root of the tree, "Later, of course, I was killed by them when I was unarmed, you see that my poor body will become fertilizer for the tree in a few years." ”

As the fat merchant's voice fell, a burst of wolf howls suddenly sounded in the deep forest, and more than thirty black wolves with a ghostly light in their eyes slowly appeared, they bared their staggered canine teeth, tensed every muscle and paced slowly, surrounding the star evil in the center.

The fat merchant took off his disguise and said fiercely: "Anyway, you are going to die, so I will let you die to understand." After I was killed by the black-hearted hunters, I was resentful, and wandered here for many years, wanting revenge but not finding any trace of the hunters. Until one day I met Cangda. ”

"Lord Cang?" Star Evil was shocked, he didn't expect that General Cang in the mouth of the villagers actually had such a strange ability to communicate with ghosts.

The fat merchant raised his hand and waved it out of sight, and said, "Lord Cang and I have made an agreement. He helped me kill those hunters to take revenge, and I will lead some people who covet gold and silver here to become sacrifices for Cangda in the future, so many unrighteous people have died a lot, little brother, you are a rare good person, I didn't want to harm you, but it is difficult to be a good person these years, and you want to go against Cangda, I'm sorry. ”

Xing Xie was silent for a moment before he looked squarely at the fat merchant under the tree, and said word by word: "The teacher often told me that when I walked in the world in the future, I would encounter many indescribable things, such as ghosts, spirits, and spirits in the mountains and fields. If you don't provoke them, they usually won't harm you, and if they do harm you, then you don't have to show mercy. ”

Then the Star Evil set his eyes on the wolves that were wandering, and among the black wolves with shiny furs, there were a few lame old wolves, which were the hungry wolves that were repelled by the Star Evil yesterday and failed to catch the baby.

"I spared your lives yesterday, but today I will come out to do evil, and I will kill myself if I do many injustices, and I will not spare my hands this time. ”

The husband has filthy words and evil spirits

The son is silent, and the strange force is confused

Demons and monsters are things that saints don't talk about touching, and they are excluded from the world, so they are naturally not within the scope of sympathy and compassion of the stars and evils.

Xingxie raised his breath slightly, and used his palm as a knife to slash at the old tree beside him, and many dead branches fell on the not very strong trunk, and Xingevil bent down to pick them up one by one and hold them in his hand.

There were thirty-three wolves, and eleven branches were picked up by the Star Demon.

There are a large number of wolves, and the easiest way to outnumber the enemy is to eat away the enemy's qi little by little through wheel warfare, among which wheel warfare is the most intensive in close hand-to-hand combat, and both the star evil and the wolf pack understand this, so the black wolves are just going around in circles and refusing to make a move, wanting to wait for the star evil to strike first, and the star evil does intend to strike first, but he wants to take the least attrition of the combat method.

A white light bloomed from Starevil's hand, igniting the branch in his hand. Star Evil raised his hand and shook his sleeves, and exploded in mid-air with a violent roar, and the eleven burning branches were like arrows that broke through the wind, instantly piercing the abdominal cavity of the eleven jackals in front of them, nailing them to the ground.

The rest of the surviving wild wolves were not frightened away by this scene, but the fierceness in their eyes was even worse, they were in groups of two or three, almost changing their formation at the same time as their companions fell to the ground, feintting, outflanking, backattacking, pulling, suppressing each performing its duties, using both minions and teeth, tossing and turning, even the star evil who had stepped into the middle realm of the Ming Dao did not retreat in this round of confrontation, and the clothes between the ribs were torn, leaving three shocking blood marks.

Sure enough, it's not an ordinary beast. Starevil's face turned pale, and he gripped the pitch-black iron drill hard, the dark blood stains on it became more and more hideous. This time's combat effectiveness seeks a quick victory, as long as the wolf takes a blow to the iron, he will definitely die, the art of war has the cloud general's strategy, followed by the attack, and then the soldier, the star evil from the beginning with the withered branch as an arrow, and then to the back of the hand-to-hand combat, are carefully calculated everywhere, and try their best to choose the most efficient way to use the vitality, which is also the reason why he did not use white light to protect the whole body, resulting in his own injury. After all, the real sinister enemy in this mountain forest is not the remaining twenty jackals, but General Cang and General Wu hiding in the shadows are the key.

The wind and grass in the mountains and fields, the star evil white clothes fluttered, he shot faster and faster, and the iron drill turned into black lightning, outlining a puff of blood on the body of the evil wolf. The pungent smell of blood stimulates the wolves' wildness, and their attacks become more and more ferocious, but correspondingly, their cooperation also begins to show flaws, and there are even scenes where several wolves jump up at the same time and collide in one place.

There were still seventeen wolves left, and Starevil steadied himself to keep himself out of the wolf's range, his gaze wandering from mountain to mountain, and finally fell under the old locust tree where the fat merchant's bones were buried.

From the beginning of being ambushed, the star evil was thinking about a question: although the wolves are social animals, it is not strange that they cooperate with each other, but these wolves are relaxed and quite disciplined, comparable to a good army, so it is not difficult to infer that someone must be manipulating them, but that person is extremely cunning, and the traces of the vitality released are very small, and it is difficult to lock, only when the wild wolves were aroused to be ferocious just now and were about to get out of control, that person suddenly increased the amount of vitality, in a vain attempt to make a desperate bet, but he was in the arms of the star evil and was found to hide: under the gloomy old locust tree。

"Found you. ”

Xing Xie raised his hand, and the vitality stored in his body flowed down the meridians to his fingertips, condensing into a point of uncertain light in front of his fingers, and as soon as this not dazzling glow appeared, the fallen leaves of the earth around Xing Xie's body quietly shattered into powder, and swirled into the air in silence.

The power of the vitality carried by a cultivator in the middle realm of the Ming Dao was no longer restrained, enveloping a radius of several zhang. The perception of danger cultivated by the wolves who have been wandering the blade for many years in the laws of nature is brought into full play at this moment, and they all bow their heads in the direction of the star evil, not daring to move.

Looking at this scene from afar, it was like a white-clothed saint educating the people.

When Xing Xie was studying, he felt that there was no end to the sea of learning, and he had to use suffering as a boat, and when Xing Xie witnessed others doing evil, he felt that there was no end to the sea of suffering, and he should turn back to the shore.

There is no end to learning, and there is no end to suffering.

Therefore, the star evil is called endless, the fingertips are blooming, and the place where it is going should be a smooth road to the sky!
