Two days later, September 18, Lingling County.

A few miles outside the city.

The sturdy steed, after two days of running, had already exceeded its limit, but the passengers on the horse's back kept urging and whipping, and it had no choice but to run on with its life.

"Boom-" The horse stepped on a small pebble, if it was on a normal day, this mere stone would not be a problem, but at this time, the horse was like a wooden man that had been dismantled, and it fell apart in an instant.

"Er ......" The horse neighed in pain, and then the horse stumbled and fell to its knees in an instant, and immediately two passengers, a man and a woman, also fell from the horse's back, and the woman did not care about the pain, helped the man up, and then turned her head to get on the horse again.

But when she turned her head, she froze—she saw that the mouth of the steed was full of foam, and the horse, which was eight feet high at the shoulder, shrunk into a ball at this moment, like a leather ball, and his whole body twitched, and the shriveled horse's belly rose and fell rapidly, but the breath was so faint that it was almost inaudible.

This is the fourth horse that has died in the past two days, and the two passengers who sat down on the side are naturally Jiang Xiaoshu and Xiaoyu.

When killing several Jiang Yue Gang masters outside Wuling County, Jiang Xiaoshu said a sentence:

"I want to escape! Dream! Watch me kill all of you dog thieves......

Didn't he know that this sentence would not only not be intimidating, but would remind the enemy to flee? Didn't he want to kill all these masters to prevent future troubles?

Of course, Jiang Xiaoshu knew this, but he knew another point - it turned out that the "blessing and misfortune" that he secretly learned had great side effects.

When he flew up and smashed the head of the black belt spear master, Jiang Xiaoshu fell to the ground and suddenly discovered an extremely terrifying thing.

The seemingly inexhaustible internal force in the dantian is rapidly decaying, just like a gorgeous and luxurious pavilion in the air, with a light touch, it will disappear in an instant, and all the previous power and power are like a dream.

The irreversible trend of the internal force of the dantian disappeared quickly, and at the same time, Jiang Xiaoshu also found that his whole body was weak, his hands and feet were out of strength, and his body was as heavy as lead, and even the small fish in his arms, which was only seventy or eighty pounds, was extremely heavy at this moment, and he almost couldn't bear it.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaoshu deliberately attacked the farthest enemy, leaving enough time and space for the enemy to escape, and sure enough, the frightened enemy fled one after another, not even daring to turn back.

Jiang Xiaoshu used his last strength to bring himself and Xiaoyu on horseback, and then fell into a strange state - obviously his whole body was out of strength, he should be exhausted, and he should fall into a coma or fall asleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt that his scalp was swollen and painful, his heart was numb, and he couldn't sleep for half a moment.

This condition was called mental weakness in later generations, but Jiang Xiaoshu didn't know it, and could only explain to Xiaoyu after recovering a little bit of spirit:

"I'm like a zombie that has just been dug out of a grave and dragged out into the sun—dead and alive, mentally and weak, soft and hard...... Anyway, nothing is right."

Jiang Xiaoshu's eyes widened, but he often couldn't see things clearly, obviously the road was ahead, but it was dark when he looked over.

He began to have ringing in his ears and hallucinating, and a voice in his heart was shouting, "You can't escape this, think of a way." But when he really came up with an idea, he had an empty mind, nothing but a splitting headache.

Along the way, Jiang Xiaoshu only wanted to understand two truths

The first is where blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, and where misfortunes and blessings lurk. If you want to have peerless martial arts, it is useless to use secret magic skills, and the kung fu that is tempered bit by bit is your own, and the help of other external forces must be accompanied by a huge price.

Second, Xiaoyu and I are finally alive. As long as you live, there will be hope.

After thinking about these two things, Jiang Xiaoshu fell into the predicament of mental exhaustion again, and he felt as if he was stuck in a cycle—the sound of horses' hooves in his ears, the sky overhead, the wind blowing on his face, and the food that the small fish fed to his mouth...... These things were repeated and repeated in his memory, and it seemed that there would never be an end.

Jiang Xiaoshu, born in a family of generals, before the age of fifteen, was stubborn, arrogant, reckless, and impossible

There is no sky, and it is nicknamed "the world's first gentleman". When he was fifteen years old, he almost killed a woman, and he realized that this article had nothing to do with being beaten by his father...... Then he went to heaven to learn art, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and was despised by the master and his peers. Five years later, the capital was held at the bottom, and the emperor granted the heavenly order to walk the rivers and lakes. In the year of the weak crown, he entered the rivers and lakes, knew his confidante Li Mujiang, the stupid man was sheng in the ashes, and Liu Lingwei and others made a big fuss in the rivers and lakes, so unhappy...... After entering Xiangzhou, seeing the collusion of officials and bandits, he was angry and rushed to the crown for a red face (this article is to be discussed), the so-called "hail and frost are difficult to prosecute, and go to the soup to fight the fire and righteousness", and Jiang Yue thieves have a big battle, but the skills are not as good as people, a life is a whimper, bitter, bitter.

Jiang Xiaoshu felt that his life was not long in coming, and he thought about his epitaph early, he patted Xiaoyu excitedly, but when Xiaoyu turned his head, he was gloomy - if I die, how can Xiaoyu be spared? Who will carve this epitaph for me?

Jiang Xiaoshu sighed, then touched the thing in his arms, closed his eyes, and waited for the final moment to come. ……

Xiao Yu didn't understand what happened to Jiang Xiaoshu, the only thing she could do was to pull Jiang Xiaoshu hard to prevent him from falling off the horse, and then kept waving the horsewhip and running wildly towards the road to the south that seemed to have no end.

She wouldn't know the hidden ways of those killer assassins, so she chose the stupidest way of all—a force to ten guilds.

Constantly stretch the distance, relying on the accumulation of distance, to offset the opponent's strong tracking ability.

Xiaoyu didn't dare to rest, for two days and two nights, she didn't dare to close her eyes even for a moment, for fear that as soon as she closed it and opened it again, the road ahead would be blocked by the enemy in the shadows, and then fall into the hands of the enemy and suffer endless torture.

Three horses were killed, and when Xiaoyu helped Jiang Xiaoshu on the fourth horse, Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?"

"It dawned on me why there were no pursuers in the rear."

"What?"

"You went straight all the way to the south, without concealing your deeds in the slightest, it seems to be careless, but you don't know that this one, by mistake, actually played a great role."

"How so?"

"The pursuers in the rear can naturally detect the escape route of the two of us at a glance, but not to mention the assassin of the Dry Bone Hall who has always been hidden in the dark, even the remaining masters can't help but secretly doubt in their hearts - Jiang Xiaoshu's little thief is so cunning, how could he leave such obvious traces when retreating? This must have been a trick on his part."

"So you mean?"

"Yes, of course, the pursuers can only keep checking repeatedly, but of course they find nothing, they are puzzled, I guess, even the assassin of the Dry Bone Hall is starting to become suspicious. In desperation, they could only stubbornly go straight south, but by this time, the two of us had galloped for hundreds of miles, leaving them far behind their butts...... Hahahaha."

"This, this is what is called, smart is mistaken by smart?"

"If you can fool these cunning bastards, I see, you are the smartest."

"So, can we escape?"

"Of course you can't escape, but you can have more chances."

"What chance?"

"The opportunity to choose a feng shui treasure."

「……」

"Why don't you speak?"

"But we should keep running."

"Ha, so you don't believe that?"

"First, we are alive, and there is hope if we are alive. Second, this dark road is by no means a treasure of feng shui, and I don't want to be a lonely ghost, so I have to pick and choose."

"Hahaha......" Jiang Xiaoshu laughed, and then pressed Xiaoyu's shoulder:

"Then bother you, and pick one for me."

Xiao Yu didn't answer, but Jiang Xiaoshu clearly felt that his face was wet, and a string of tears flew from the front, swept over his face, and then fell into the dust behind him, and was buried and swallowed in an instant. ……

Speaking of going back to the outside of Lingling County, the fourth horse fell to the ground, and the two were smashed to the ground.

Then I couldn't help but sniff:

"Laughing book, what does it smell like on you?"

Jiang Xiaoshu smiled and shrugged:

"They say stinky men stinky men, I haven't taken a shower for a few days, and the mud on my body can become a ball when rubbed down, and it smells a little, and it's normal to be tight...... But you're much better than I am, clean, and always smelly."

Xiaoyu lowered his head and looked at his hands, only to see that his palms were snow-white, and his wrists were pitch black, which were clearly two colors, even his hands were like this, how good could other places be? It has nothing to do with Jiang Xiaoshu's "clean" at all.

Xiaoyu has always loved cleanliness, and at this time he couldn't help but blush, and then shook his head and said:

"But the smell of your body is a very fishy smell, very similar, very similar to ......."

"It's like going to a wet market, sandwiched between a fish stall and a butcher's shop, right?" Jiang Xiaoshu continued.

Xiao Yu nodded again and again, and then asked:

"What is it?"

Jiang Xiaoshu grinned, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth:

"It's something you'll have nightmares when you hear it."

Xiao Yu said angrily:

"Knowing that I am cowardly, I want to scare me."

Jiang Xiaoshu was noncommittal, and then said:

"Xiaoyu, now there are two choices-the first, you go to the Lingling County City behind......

"I'll pick two." The little fish interrupted him.

Jiang Xiaoshu was slightly moved, then nodded solemnly and pointed to the mountain in the distance:

"That mountain is called Yangmingshan, and although it has nothing to do with that sage Mr. Yangming, I suddenly wanted to go there."

"Let's go." Xiaoyu's tone was ordinary, as if she was discussing an ordinary outing, and the pursuers in the rear and the disaster that was about to befall her were forgotten by her at this moment.

The two walked with Chaoyang Mingshan, the pace was unhurried, and it took a long time to paced to the foot of the mountain, Jiang Xiaoshu looked up, and then said:

"Do you see that cliff at the top of the mountain?"

"See, it's dangerous."

"It's dangerous, but Feng Shui is good, isn't it?"

"Very good, indeed."

"Well, you go up there and wait for me."

"What about you?"

"They've arrived," Jiang Xiaoshu said, turning his head and looking at the avenue in the distance:

"They must have worked hard all the way, and I want to entertain them well."

"There is only one way up the mountain, you have deceived me, and I have no way to live, you should know this."

"I know," Jiang Xiaoshu said with a wry smile:

"So I want you to choose one, but I know you won't be able to be persuaded, first I don't want to force people, and then I do need someone to help me here."

"Then I'll go up."

"If you can, sing a song for me, but don't be Mrs. Xiangjunxiang's love song...... Hmm, please sing a song of Li Taibai's "Chivalrous Journey."

"Okay."

Xiao Yu walked up the mountain quickly, and after Jiang Xiaoshumu saw her off, he sat down cross-legged, and then he looked around, and his eyes locked on the stone tablet above his head.

He pulled out a small bag from his bosom, the mouth of which was covered with grains of salt, as if it had pickled something.

Jiang Xiaoshu opened the pouch and found an object soaked in coarse salt, and after hesitating for a long time, his eyes froze, and he opened his mouth to bite down on the thing.

After taking a bite, Jiang Xiaoshu retched, grabbed his throat, tears flowed out involuntarily, he knelt on the ground, hunched over, his throat surged, as if he was about to vomit.

But instead of spitting it out, Jiang Xiaoshu put his hands together and stuffed the thing in his hand into his mouth, his jaw was already convulsed and spasmodic because of the strong discomfort and nausea, Jiang Xiaoshu pressed his chin with his hand, forced the thing to chew it, swallowed it into his abdomen, and blood flowed all over his mouth.

After eating the first one, Jiang Xiaoshu reached into the bag again and ate the remaining few, and then he fell to the ground, his body convulsed uncontrollably, his expression was hideous like a ghost, and then a strange blood red surged up.

"Giggles......" Jiang Xiaoshu involuntarily let out a series of strange cries in his throat, which became more and more sharp and creepy. ……

After a cup of tea, the sound of horses' hooves on the avenue approached, four or five black belt masters turned over and dismounted, and after a look, they rushed straight to Chaoyang Mingshan, and arrived at the foot of the mountain in a moment.

Suddenly, a mysterious and distant song came from overhead, although the song was calm, but it concealed a murderous aura:

"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it is like a shooting star.'"

The masters suddenly became excited:

"They're up there!" "Chase!" "What a grandma's can run! Kill!"

The masters ran wildly, but a hidden weapon was shot out in the oblique stab, which happened to block the way of the masters.

The masters immediately stopped, and after looking down at the appearance of the hidden weapon on the ground, the faces of several people changed, and they hurriedly asked:

"Master, is there a situation?"

"Look at the location of the Spike." In the dark, a female voice sounded.

Everyone's eyes swept over the terrifying shape of the bone-eroding soul nail, and looked at the ground, only to see that there was a lot of blood on the ground, and at the same time, a lot of salt particles were sprinkled. The masters are unknown, so they are:

"It's ......"

"I don't know." The woman's voice paused for a moment, and then said:

"But I know one thing—Jiang Xiaoshu once stopped here."

"Why stay?"

"Sneak attack."

The killers were startled, and they all stood in one place back to back, all on guard, and then asked:

"Where?"

After a moment of silence, the woman said:

"If I were him, I would choose the stele."

As soon as the words fell, all the masters dispersed at the same time and surrounded the stone stele, but a few people looked up and down, and the stele was bare and nothing.

Maybe in the dirt under the monument? The masters thought for a moment, and then slashed at the land around the stone monument, but still found nothing.

"No, master."

"Where will it be? Is it another trick?" The woman muttered to herself, and then said: .

"He was hit by my god nail, he was not lightly injured, and he attacked at any cost, and besides, he seems to have used secret techniques to improve his strength before, so he should have suffered a backlash...... Be vigilant and do not give him an opportunity."

"Understood." ……

At this time, Xiao Yu's singing voice happened to turn, high and low, and the music was sonorous, like a cold light of sword qi:

"Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brush off your clothes and go away, and hide yourself and your name.'"

Everyone didn't pay attention, just above their heads, Jiang Xiaoshu hung upside down on a tree like a bat, without any disguise, anyone could find his traces as soon as they looked up.

Outsmart oneself. Jiang Xiaoshu once again let the other party step into his own trap.

This was also the first time he saw the true face of the assassin of the Dry Bone Hall - it was a woman, about the same age as herself, with a very beautiful appearance, but her expression was as wooden as a zombie, with a thorn pinned to her waist, and she didn't show any breath in her body, but Jiang Xiaoshu knew that the murderous aura she suppressed in her body would break out once it broke out.

Jiang Xiaoshu also knew that this woman's name was Qin Yuqian, known as the "Absolute Demon Girl", the second of the ten carp in Longmen.

When they were at the Zhijiang Inn that day, Jiang Xiaoshu and Li Guangyu talked about the Ten Carp of Longmen, Li Guangyu once said that although Qin Yuqian ranked second, he met Jiang Xiaoshu, the successor of the ghost road, the most powerful assassin of the two younger generations, and it is not yet known who killed the deer.

Now, it's time to find out.
