Chapter 60: The Five Elders
There are many fewer people digging for true blood in the wild than in the valley, Zhang Yuan didn't dig stupidly with a hoe like that, and only walked to a place where there were fewer people with his divine sense, not to mention that this really allowed him to find two true blood, but the two true blood were wrapped in soil, and the purity was obviously not very good, he didn't know how to purify it, so he simply put the true blood on his chest and slowly absorbed it.
When he found two in a row, his interest became more and more high, and on this day, he was walking forward, when suddenly his divine sense noticed that a person was rapidly approaching him from behind, and he immediately raised his vigilance, quickly took out his stick, and got ready.
After the person approached, he was also a little surprised to see Zhang Yuan, as if he didn't expect that there were still people in such a remote place, he glanced at him vigilantly, bypassed him from a distance, and continued to flee forward.
Zhang Yuan was also a little surprised when he saw him, this person was obviously the old man in black who was hunted down last time, but he didn't know which of the five elders he was, and he didn't know how he ventured back again, Zhang Yuan didn't think deeply, put away his stick and continued to walk forward.
I continued to walk for a few more days, but my luck was not good these days, he didn't even find a single true blood, he didn't spread his divine sense to find it this day, he just walked aimlessly, after all, it was very tiring to keep spreading his divine sense.
He came to a mountain, looked at the vegetation on the mountain, and there were no traces of being dug up, and thought to himself, maybe there would be real blood here, and he was about to spread his senses, when he suddenly found that in a small cave not far in front of him, a person looked at him anxiously, and looked at it fixedly, only to find that it was one of the five desperate elders he had seen that day.
Zhang Yuan was a little surprised by his eyes, but he was surprised by his strength, he still took out the stick, and his divine sense also dispersed, as soon as his divine sense dispersed, he understood the reason why the old man was so anxious, it turned out that the four men in black were nearby, and they were hurrying towards this side.
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, put away the stick, took out the hoe under the surprised gaze of the old man in black, and quickly dug it up not far in front of the cave, and the four of them came over quickly and saw Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was like a poor boy who couldn't afford to pay the spirit stone to enter the land where the phoenix fell, so he had to try his luck in the wild.
One person directly scolded: "Boy, I've seen people enter before." ”
Zhang Yuan pretended to be very frightened when he saw them, and at this time he stuttered nervously: "Yes... Look.. To, to this side... went. The hand pointed in a random direction.
The four of them immediately chased after the excited Edgeworth, and when Zhang Yuan saw them go away, he said lightly to the cave: "Okay, you come out, they are far away." ”
The old man in the cave walked out slowly, but seeing that he was in rags and covered in injuries, he looked at Zhang Yuan and blushed a little, but just arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”
Zhang Yuan snorted and said coldly: "Don't thank you, if it weren't for the fact that you recovered that fire vitality in Heifeng Gorge last time, I would never have saved you based on what your desperate five elders did in the past!"
The old man's face turned pale and red, and the red envelopes were switched several times in succession, and suddenly laughed, Zhang Yuan didn't know what crazy this old man was, he just looked at him coldly, and the old man stopped laughing for a long time, and said: "I didn't expect me to be ghostly, I killed countless people in the past, and today I was rescued by you as a kid, or because of an unintentional move, hehe, maybe the old saying is right, good and evil will be rewarded in the end." After speaking, he took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms and gave it to Zhang Yuan, ignoring Zhang Yuan's reaction, and turned around and left directly, staggering, laughing at himself as he walked: "For this thing, the friendship between the five of us for hundreds of years actually broke down and killed each other, is this because we usually do too much evil?"
Zhang Yuan was a little puzzled by the meaning of the ghostly fire, holding the sheepskin and shouting: "This thing...."
Youhuo didn't look back and said, "I've sent you." After a pause, he said, "One more piece of advice for you, don't save people in this ghost place in the future, or you'd better get out of here, this place is not for you." After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and two lines of old tears flowed down his face.
Zhang Yuan watched the ghost fire staggering away, and the direction of walking was the direction that the four people were chasing, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his heart, watching the ghost fire gradually move away, until he couldn't see the figure, he opened the sheepskin and found that it was a map, and the corner of the map was marked with red. The map is rudimentary, with simple lines and symbols representing mountains and rivers, and in some places marking what special features are marked.
Zhang Yuan looked at the map and thought of the reason why the Desperate Five Elders were searched for by many people, it should be this map, but listening to the meaning of Youhuo's words, it seems that there was also infighting among the Five Elders.
Zhang Yuan compared the map and found that he was still far away from the red on the way, so he thought about it and put it away and rushed towards the place shown in the map.
Not long after Zhang Yuan left, Nangong Fu appeared with four people, and the old man said with some humility: "Childe, why don't we just kill him and take the treasure map, which is said to have a pool of phoenix true blood." ”
Nangong Fu completely lost the previous jump in front of Nangong Yang, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "This kind of place is definitely dangerous, let's just follow him, and when he comes out, we can take it again." ”
The old man showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and complimented him in his mouth: "It's still the son's thoughtfulness, my mind is too useless." But he secretly despised in his heart, if I hadn't stopped you just now, you would have done something to those four people, now it's time to talk about this.
Not long after Zhang Yuan left, he suddenly stopped, thought about it, and looked for the direction where the ghost fire had left. Nangong Fu didn't know the path, so he also followed.
After walking a short distance, Zhang Yuan's divine sense found the staggering ghostly fire, he just kept walking forward silently, and after a while, the desperate four elders returned with a calm face, saw the ghostly fire, immediately surrounded him, and said in a yin and yang weird way: "Boss, you don't hide like a turtle now." ”
Youhuo glanced at him, he didn't save him once, this time he was the first to attack him, he should have been very angry when he saw him, but after being rescued just now, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to be angry anymore, and smiled slightly: "Hide, where can you hide?"
The four of them looked at each other in some surprise, and one of them said, "Okay, since you are like this, you can hand over the map, and we can give you a way out." ”
Youhuo glanced at him, and said without any anger in his eyes: "Xiao Dong, do you want me to hand over something and kill me again?" Hehe, this is what I taught you back then. ”
The person who was called Xiao Dong was obviously stunned for a moment, this name has not been called for a long time, and he thought of a long time ago, the person in front of him was a person who was also his teacher and friend, and his face couldn't help but ease down a little, but he was soon covered with anger again, and shouted: "Gu Lion, don't mention it before, I have also saved you over the years, our grievances have long been cleared, today you leave a treasure map, and then kill yourself." ”
Youhuo laughed twice and turned his head to look at the other three, all three of whom avoided his gaze: "You all think the same way." ”
One of them looked up at him and shook his head and said, "Yes, this is the best ending for you." ”
Youhuo smiled and said with pity: "It's a pity, I lost the treasure map a long time ago." ”
Xiao Dong sneered: "Why do you say such a thing, you took the risk and ran back, didn't you just want to swallow the treasure alone?"
Youhuo didn't answer his words, his eyes swept over the four people, and he said loudly: "Actually, we are greedy, even if we get the treasure, the Eight Great Sects will kill us, I want to think about it, so I lost him, I think we can still be together again, we can leave this ghost place and return to Yongzhou..."
Xiao Dong interrupted him and said coldly: "Yes, first trick us to Yongzhou, and then assassinate us behind our backs, and then you come back to take the treasure, Gu Shi, are you trying to deceive the child? ”
Youhuo suddenly raised his head and laughed, and suddenly a stream of blood spurted out of his chest, and the blood sprayed four people, and he actually cut off his heart, and the ghost fire broke his heart, and the blood in his mouth flowed out, and he said vaguely: "Retribution, it's all retribution." ”
The four of them were stunned when they saw him cut off his heart, they thought of many ways to force him, and there were many plans for how to kill him afterwards, but they never thought that he would commit suicide, speaking out, the whole world, it is estimated that no one would believe that the ghost fire in the desperate five elders would commit suicide.
After the five people were stunned for a while, they suddenly all pounced on his corpse, reached out to grab his pocket, and suddenly all four of them stopped moving, and all kinds of vitality attacked the other three, after a scuffle, Xiao Dong walked to the side of the ghost fire with scars, took down his space bag, and laughed proudly: "In the end, the treasure map still fell into my hands, big brother, you are still too kind, haha." ”
Xiao Dong stretched out his hand and took it out, and all kinds of treasures in it were constantly taken out, including thousand-year-old medicinal materials, divine weapons, and even true blood, but these were all discarded by him, and his mouth kept reading: "Treasure, treasure." Until the contents of the bag were taken out by him, and there was still no trace of the treasure map, Xiao Dong raised his hands as if nervous, and shouted sharply: "Impossible, he can't throw things away." After saying that, he threw himself on the ground and rummaged through it, and after a long time, he raised his head, stared at the corpse of the ghost fire with red eyes and said, "Yes, it must be hidden somewhere else." After saying that, he threw himself on the corpse of the ghostly fire, peeled off the clothes one by one, and carefully checked whether there was any interlayer in them.
Zhang Yuan watched the ghost fire break his heart and die, and watched several people kill each other, he only felt inexplicable grief and indignation in his heart, his tears flowed, and he didn't know why he was crying, but he definitely knew that it was not for the ghost fire, or the dead people.
Zhang Yuan watched Xiao Dong still rummaging, and slowly retreated and left. Nangong Fu yawned and said: "This kid, I thought he was looking for treasure, but I didn't expect to come to see someone else fighting, you go and kill that person, so as not to leak the news." A tall and thin man in the back immediately rushed out, and soon only heard Xiao Dong's angry roar, staring at the unwilling big eyes and pounced on the ghost fire and died, the thin man looked at it silently, and quickly put away the space bags of the five people, and then sprinkled a handful of yellow powder, and the corpses of the five people quickly melted when they met the powder, and after a while, the desperate five elders disappeared into this world.
