When Xingzhi arrived at Jishitang, Ding Peng's master and apprentice also came to Taizhou, Gansu. [Full text reading.]

Taizhou is now Tianshui, located in the southeast of Gansu, since ancient times is the Silk Road must pass through the place and the place where the soldiers must fight, Taizhou across the Yangtze River, the Yellow River two major basins, the local people are fierce, there are many bandits in the mountains.

It is said that there is a mountain range in the east of Taizhou, the mountain is dangerous, the vegetation is lush, named Wolf Mountain, as soon as Ding Peng came to the vicinity, he fell in love with this mountain, and ordered his disciples to camp in the field, and then after a short rest, go into the mountain to catch poison.

Cultivators of poison gong are different from others, in order to keep the toxins in the body in balance at all times, they need to practice diligently, and they must constantly suppress the old poison with new poison without interruption, otherwise the poison in the body is very easy to backlash, and if it is not done well, it will go crazy.

Therefore, the people of the Star Gate need to collect new poisons to cultivate every five days, which involves the acquisition of poisons.

Ding Peng has a system in hand, so he doesn't need to think about this problem, but his disciples need to find ways to catch poisons, although Ding Peng can also exchange poisons for them, but even if he is not stingy with contributions, he can't explain the problem of turning poisonous insects out of thin air, so he needs to find those deep mountains and remote places on the way, so that they can catch poisons and cultivate by themselves.

Wolf Mountain is a very suitable place, first of all, it is remote, and then Taizhou has sufficient water sources, and the dark and damp places in the mountains are easy to breed poisons, so Ding Peng decided to stay here for half a day, so that the disciples can catch a batch of sufficient poisons and then hurry.

They camped at the foot of the mountain, set up tents, and after Ding Peng explained a little, he asked Lao Zhao and the four of them to go hunting in the mountains together, and then rested in the camp by themselves.

In Ding Peng's mind, there are no great sects and gangs in the small land of Taizhou, and they are going into the inaccessible deep mountains to operate, so there should be no problems, but God wants to be against him.

Although Wolf Mountain is small, it is also a master thing, in recent years, there is a group of bandits in Wolf Mountain whose activities are very rampant, named Wolf Mountain Thirteen Wolves, with thirteen leaders, and hundreds of minions under their hands. The government attacked several times, but it was unsuccessful, and the thieves in Wolf Mountain gradually became arrogant, and regarded the entire Wolf Mountain as their own territory.

On this day, it was the turn of the two leaders of the thirteen wolves to patrol the mountain, one of the two leaders was the seven wolf Cai Zhi, and the other was the nine wolf Feng Anrui.

They each brought two or three of their subordinates, wandering around the mountains casually, although the Wolf Mountain is treacherous, but in fact, the territory is not large, it cannot be said that they are familiar with every grass and tree here, but it should not be bragging to know the situation everywhere well.

The two also knew that this was an errand, so they walked and chatted at the same time, their destination was the road into the mountain ahead, and if the officers and soldiers wanted to make any moves, they would definitely make some movement there.

The two leaders said some obscene words with a hippie smile, and suddenly, seeing a bird in front of him, Cai Zhi frowned and said, "What's the matter, is there a wild boar in the forest?"

When Feng Anrui heard this, he said happily: "That's good, the brothers caught it and just went back to sacrifice the Five Organs Temple." ”

Cai Zhi hesitated: "This is not far from the road into the mountain, there are many people on weekdays, and few big beasts will come here to hunt for food, ninth brother, I'm afraid things are strange!"

Feng Anrui snorted and said: "Aren't you from the Dog Mansion? Those mountain people all know that this is our territory, and they dare not come over, except for the officers and soldiers, there can be no one else." ”

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Cai Zhi waved his hand and led everyone to go first.

The woods are not far away, and they are soon there.

Because of the humid climate in Wolf Mountain, there are many wild grasses and thorns in the mountains and forests, which are not easy for pedestrians, Cai Zhi and Feng Anrui led their subordinates to carefully avoid difficult places and gradually went deeper into the woods.

Feng Anrui turned around suddenly, made a slight "puff", leaned over in the grass, and grabbed a two-foot-long green snake between his two fingers and lifted it.

"Brother Seven, go back and I'll give you a stew to drink and taste my craftsmanship. Feng Anrui grinned.

Suddenly, Cai Zhi's face changed, and his left fist gently pushed him on the shoulder, pushing him a few feet away.

The grass slammed, and a few snakes rushed out, and Cai Zhi's bamboo cane waved continuously, each hitting the snake's head seven inches, and the cane was killed instantly.

Feng Anrui was cheering, when suddenly two snakes silently came up behind him, and one bit his vest. One bites on a minion's leg.

Feng Anrui waved his palm and slashed the attacking poisonous snake into the air, and the minion screamed, and his face suddenly turned black.

Cai Zhi struck out with a cane, killed the poisonous snake biting the minions, looked at it, frowned, and said, "It's a black-hearted snake, it's hopeless!"

The black-hearted snake is a very terrifying poisonous snake in the wolf mountain, and after biting a person, he saw blood sealing his throat, and sure enough, the minion snorted a few times in a low voice, and then stopped moving.

Several people looked at each other, and Feng Anrui was surprised: "Isn't the black-hearted snake only active in the Yin Beach of the back mountain, how did it come here?"

Cai Zhizheng frowned and thought hard, and suddenly heard a harsh sound in front of him, like some musical instrument, but it was extremely ugly.

"This thing is weird, go to the front and take a look!" Cai Zhi said.

Feng Anrui retreated a little, and said uneasily: "Seventh brother, why don't we ...... Let's go back and report to my eldest brother, I've never seen so many snakes, and I'm panicking!"

A few minions were also afraid, Cai Zhi said disdainfully: "This is our territory, the king of heaven Lao Tzu has to give face when he comes, I'm afraid of a ball! Lao Jiu, you soft egg go back and report to the eldest brother first, and Lao Tzu will go to the front to take a look." ”

Feng Anrui wanted to persuade, but he didn't know how to say it, but Cai Zhi's suggestion was quite safe, it was not far from Dazhai, even if Cai Zhi was in danger, he would be able to move to the rescue soon, of course, it was more likely that it was just a false alarm.

So, Feng Anrui nodded, took two minions and turned around and withdrew from the woods, Cai Zhi looked at the few subordinates left behind by him, and scolded: "There is Lao Tzu here, you are afraid of hanging, go with Lao Tzu!"

A few people continued to move forward, walked for a while, and heard the strange voice again, Cai Zhi identified the direction, and said in a low voice: "It should be not far ahead, be careful with Lao Tzu, don't make a noise, Lao Tzu wants to see who this hanging hair is." ”

The front was not far from the mountain road, and it was almost out of the forest, so the grass and trees gradually thinned out, Cai Zhi and a few of his subordinates dived over lightly, and through the gaps in the grass, he could vaguely see the swaying figure in front of him.

I saw three people sitting cross-legged on the open space in front of me, their faces were not clear, and they were vaguely distinguishable as two men and a woman, as if they were meditating and practicing, and a young man in light green clothes was wandering around the field, with various colors of powder in his hands from time to time.

Cai Zhi looked intently, and saw that the powder surrounded the four people in the field, as if drawing a protective circle, and the young man finished sprinkling the powder, took out a jade flute from his arms, and wanted to blow.

This jade flute is surprisingly short, only seven inches long, white and lovely. The young man put it to his mouth and blew it gently, a sharp whistle, the flute was clear and agitated, but the sound that came out of this white jade flute was very poignant, and he only listened to his flute blowing high and low for a while, like killing pigs, like ghosts crying, and it was extremely ugly.

Cai Zhi was shocked in his heart, the sound he heard before should be this flute, but this young man obviously didn't understand the rhythm of music, and the sound he made was extremely ugly, but I don't know why he played it tirelessly, so he wasn't afraid of disturbing his fellow practitioners?

In the midst of doubt, there was a rustling sound around me, and I saw dozens of green snakes winding out of the forest, and there was an endless stream behind them, I don't know how many there were.

Cai Zhi and the others only saw the scalp numb, and they didn't dare to breathe, so many poisonous snakes, if they were surrounded by them, I am afraid that they would have three heads and six arms, and they would not be able to stop them, looking at the appearance of these snakes, they are all strange poisonous things in the mountains, and they will not be able to protect their lives if they are bitten a few times.

When the young man in green saw the poisonous snake coming out, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Senior brother, senior sister, the good things you want are here." ”

The three people who were originally meditating and practicing opened their eyes at the same time, and the woman among them said, "Senior Brother Ding Zhi, I've worked hard for you, you can rest, and we'll take care of the rest." ”

The young man in green agreed, and stepped back with a grin.

Among the three meditating people, an old man with a half-white head had already been in no hurry, so he got up and fished outside the circle, and copied a large green snake. The two fingers of the left hand clamped the snake's head, and the little fingernail of the right hand scratched the snake's abdomen, and the snake's abdomen pierced, took out a cyan snake gall, threw it into the mouth, and chewed it.

The other two said in disgust: "Senior Brother Zhao, the fishy smell is so strong, you can stand it!"

The old man smiled, with the criss-crossing scars on his face, but it was more ugly than crying, he didn't seem to like to talk, he sat down straight, squeezed snake blood and snake venom into a small tripod that looked like a copper furnace in front of him, after a while, some liquid flowed out of the ding, the old man reached out and took it, held it in the palm of his hand and began to meditate and practice in a strange posture.

Cai Zhi was surprised and frightened, although his martial arts are shallow, he is just a small character in the rivers and lakes, but he has been fighting with other twelve wolves over the years, and he has also heard some strange news about the rivers and lakes.

Although Cai Zhi was bold, he also bullied and bullied the nearby mountain people and traveling merchants, where did he dare to fight with the real masters of the rivers and lakes? In his heart, he decided that the few people opposite him were evil demons, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he gestured to a few minions around him, and was about to retreat quietly.

"Hehe, since you're here, why do you have to leave if you don't see each other?"

Cai Zhi had just taken a step when he heard a word from behind him that made his soul fly out of the sky, and Cai Zhi screamed: "Run, big guy, run." ”

After speaking, he was the first to spread his feet and run, at this time, it doesn't matter if the evil devil is crooked, or the king of heaven Lao Tzu arrives, Lao Tzu is important to save his life.
