Chapter 22: When They Parted Ways

Ma Xiaohu first returned to the ruined temple, came to the statue of the ruined mountain god, and according to Cibo's last words, moved the stone slab near the base with his hands, revealing the soil. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then plane it by hand near the base.

After a while, a black rectangular box wrapped in cloth was dug out. The box is one foot long, five inches wide, and two inches high. And heavy. At this time, Tie Dan and Little Monkey, Tang Lang and others all came in.

"Xiaohu, what's in this box?" Tang Lang asked curiously.

Ma Xiaohu wrapped it in a cloth, and then said without being salty or light:

"It has nothing to do with you!" Then he got up and looked at Tang Lang and the others.

The four of them were still a little afraid of Ma Xiaohu at this time, and they didn't dare to ask more.

Immediately, Ma Xiaohu said:

"The world of martial artists is very dangerous, and you don't have the heart that a martial artist should have, there are still one or two taels of gold here, and a few hundred taels of silver, the four of you should take it and divide it! Be an ordinary person, find something to do, and then marry a wife and have children! It is yours, and the money sold is enough for you, and the weapons of the land, keep a sword for me, and you will deal with the rest!"

Hearing this, Tang Lang said dumbly:

"Xiaohu, are you leaving?"

马小虎 says:

"To be exact, it's me, Tie Dan, and Little Monkey leaving! From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!" Ma Xiaohu said flatly, as if the two sides had become strangers.

Seeing Ma Xiaohu's demeanor, the four of them felt ashamed. They all understand that they are too cowardly, and they are even inferior to two children.

And Tie Dan and the little monkey were relieved when they heard that Ma Xiaohu was going to leave and take them with them.

But at this moment, Xi Shuai, a young man who usually doesn't like to talk much, said:

"We want a part of the things in the box! These things are left by Cibo, so there must be a share of us! It doesn't belong to you alone!"

Hearing this, Ma Xiaohu smiled.

"Hehe! What qualifications do you have to tell me this? What were you doing when Ci Bo and the others were killed? Now that everything is safe, you jump out and ask for this and that?" After speaking, Ma Xiaohu clenched his fists, and his muscles suddenly stood out.

Seeing this, Tang Lang hurriedly glared at Xi Shuai and whispered:

"Don't say it, it's annoying Xiaohu, you have good fruit to eat!" and then looked at Ma Xiaohu and said:

"Xiaohu, we don't want anything else, but the formula for the quenching soup must be left to us, you know, if we don't have this formula, we won't be able to complete the cultivation of the Nine Styles of Forging Body, let alone become a real martial artist!"

In this regard, Ma Xiaohu only sighed and said:

"Do you still have the face to say that you want to become a martial artist?, I'll give it to you, remember that there will be no more relationship between us in the future!" After speaking, Ma Xiaohu untied the cloth wrapped in the box, opened the box, and at the top was a stack of prescriptions, which was the quenching soup. Although the paper has been buried in the ground for some years, the paper is yellowed, but it seems that it has undergone special treatment, and the prescription has not been eaten by insects and is well preserved.

A total of 32 kinds of common herbs are recorded on it, and the proportion of the combination between the medicines and the length of time they have been boiled are also recorded, which is very careful.

Ma Xiaohu only took a cursory look, and then said:

"You make a copy!"

Hearing this, Tang Lang hurriedly came over, took the prescription, and then looked at it carefully. A quarter of an hour later, Tang Lang finished reading everything, and then closed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something.

It was then returned to Ma Xiaohu.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaohu immediately understood that Tang Lang had memorized it, which showed that Tang Lang was an existence with an amazing memory.

But he didn't say much, put the prescription away, took the iron egg and the little monkey, picked up a hundred refining big knife and left.

Seeing the disappearing backs of Ma Xiaohu and the others, Zhang Lang said:

"Why don't you order more?"

Tang Lang shook his head and said:

"Having a prescription is enough for the four of us to suffer, too much will not only cause Ma Xiaohu's disgust, but we won't even get anything, and maybe he will kill us!" Speaking of this, Tang Lang was still a little afraid.

But in order to become stronger, he had to be cheeky and say these words.

Today's encounter made him understand that the weak are just ants, and only the strong can survive. Although he is afraid of death, isn't this human nature?

Shaking his head, Tang Lang didn't say more, but began to memorize the prescription silently. After a long time, he almost didn't forget it, and then continued:

"It's time for us to go, it's not safe here!"

So the four of them picked up their weapons and carried the tiger skin down the mountain. As for the tiger meat, they can't lift it yet, so they have to give up.

At this time, Ma Xiaohu, Tiedan, and Little Monkey had already come to the foot of the mountain.

"Brother Little Tiger, where are we going?" asked the little monkey.

And Tie Dan pointed to the knife mark on Ma Xiaohu's left chest and said:

"Brother Xiaohu is definitely going to see a doctor, so we're going to Qingfeng City!"

And Ma Xiaohu thought that he had been slashed, and then checked the wound and found that the wound had healed and scabbed, but it was a little dull pain.

Then he exhaled a breath of turbidity and said:

"Now we're going to find food to eat!" Ma Xiaohu has gone through a fierce battle, and his physical strength is very high, if he hadn't eaten a tiger king, the energy in his body could still support him for a while, and I am afraid that he would have started to be hungry a long time ago.

So he took the two of them and walked towards the forest, now is not a good opportunity to enter Qingfeng City, the blood stains on his body are easy to cause trouble. And Ma Xiaohu also needs a little time to check the things left by Ci Bo and the exercises given by Gan Mo.

The three of them were lucky, they only walked six or seven hundred meters, and they saw a huge wild boar, grazing. Wild boars are omnivores, vegetarians and meat, so they can't starve to death in the forest.

Then Ma Xiaohu ran directly over and kicked the boar's head with one kick.

Seeing this, the iron egg and the little monkey exclaimed very much. If they saw the scene of Ma Xiaohu blowing people's heads, I'm afraid they would only scream! But the two of them were lucky, they were already dizzy at that time, and they didn't see a scene that was inappropriate for children, although they woke up later and saw it, but they didn't see the shock they saw with their own eyes.

As the darkness had darkened today, the three of them came to a cave with the wild boar on their backs.

"We'll spend the night here today, and you're going to collect firewood!" Ma Xiaohu said.

So the two of them came out of the cave and gathered firewood nearby.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a pile of dry branches in the cave. And the wild boar has long been skinned clean by Ma Xiaohu.

Then Ma Xiaohu set up the fire and lit it with a flint.

This is followed by the waiting process for the roast, and after half an hour, the meat is ready. There are no seasonings, but it's nice to be able to eat.

Tie Dan and Little Monkey each got a pork leg, and the rest was enjoyed by Ma Xiaohu alone.

When Ma Xiaohu finished eating, the iron egg and the little monkey still had most of it in their hands.

And Ma Xiaohu sat by the fire, thinking to himself.

"Today is just one day, but I have experienced something that I will never forget! I will never forget what happened on this day!" Ma Xiaohu said in his heart.

Immediately opened the box left by Cibo, only to see that there were not many things in the box. In addition to the prescription of quenching body soup, there are also prescriptions for several other medicines, including coagulation powder, muscle-building cream, bone renewal, and huiqi pills. The main effect of coagulation powder is to stop bleeding, which is very good, the muscle-building cream is to speed up wound healing, after taking the bone fluid, it can allow the broken bones to heal themselves, and the qi recovery pill, which is a must-have for martial artists, the main effect is to restore a certain amount of internal qi!

In addition to the prescription, it was a sheepskin, which was wrapped in a hexagonal black metal block, which was very heavy, and the front and back of the metal block were engraved with the images of a mouse and a cow. And some words were written on the sheepskin.

These were written later.

The main thing is to describe the information of the hexagonal black iron block, the black iron hexagonal iron block, more than four inches in diameter, occupies almost half of the space of the box.

Ma Xiaohu read the information on the sheepskin and immediately understood the secret of the iron. The iron block is called the Liuhe Secret Key, which is a key to unlock the mysterious treasure, and it was because of this that Cibo's sect was destroyed.

It also writes the reason why Cibo and others came to Qingfeng Mountain, because the Liuhe Key guided Cibo and others to go here back then.

The Hexagram Key, which has a vision every twelve years, will draw attention to the location of the Hexagram Key, and the person holding the Hexagram Key will know the approximate location of the treasure.

Back then, because of the abrupt outbreak of the Liuhe Secret Key, it was noticed by people with a heart, and then the sect where Cibo belonged was destroyed. The Liuhe key was originally picked up by Cibo when he went up the mountain to collect medicine, but he didn't expect it to lead to a catastrophe in the end.

It wasn't until the vision erupted that he understood the purpose of the Hexagram Key.

There are a total of six pieces of the Liuhe Key, so he is not the only one who knows this secret, so the destruction of the Cibo Sect is related to the person who holds the Liuhe Key.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaohu smiled bitterly in his heart.

"I can't imagine that Cibo has left such a hot potato! And it seems that the next outbreak will only be about a year away!"

Then he looked at the last thing in the box, a yellowed cloth wrapped in a piece of amber crystal clear ring-shaped jade pendant, the jade pendant was only an inch in diameter, and it was worn in red thread. On the jade pendant, there are three hollow carvings, embedded with gold seal characters - Ma Xiaohu.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaohu understood that this jade pendant was related to his life experience.
