Chapter 136: Golden Toad
Following.
"Did you get it right?"
Chen Yuyan lay on the branch, slept a lot, opened his eyes and shouted.
"Wait, there's still half a bag left!"
In the nearby stream, Qi Zhou raised his head suddenly, "Give me two more quarters of an hour!" ”
In the distance, a white veil-like mist shrouded the mountains, and the morning glow filled the sky.
Under the tree were several bulging cloth bags, filled with toads.
It was all caught by Qi Zhou alone.
According to Qi Zhou, he was born in a declining sect in Jiangnan Province, the "Xiaoshan Sword Sect", and there were only eight people in the entire sect, all surnamed Qi, and the owner of the sect was his grandfather.
His grandfather, as the last disciple of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect, did not recruit many disciples and revitalize the sect for some reason, but chose to live in seclusion in a certain mountain in Jiangnan Province.
And their Xiaoshan Sword Sect has a very strange rule.
No matter who it is, if it goes down the mountain, it will not be able to enter the mountain gate of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect again.
"Down the mountain" here means to leave the Xiaoshan Sword Sect and go out to explore the rivers and lakes.
Originally, Qi Zhou stayed well in Jiangnan, unlike others, he had no interest in traveling the rivers and lakes, and he liked to hunt some game in the mountains to make barbecue and eat, or raise some flowers and plants.
Until a while, Qi Zhou found out that his third uncle Qi Baiheng hadn't written to the sect for two whole years after going down the mountain.
There is an agreement in the sect that no matter who it is, since it chooses to go down the mountain, it will write a letter to the sect every six months to report safety.
After all, they are all relatives whose blood is thicker than water.
Qi Zhou was anxious, but he didn't dare to tell his grandfather, the old man was not in good health, and when the news of Qi Zhou's father Qi Baiguan's death came back, the old man fainted for a long time, and his body has been worse day by day.
If Qi Baiheng had another accident, Qi Zhou didn't dare to imagine how Old Man Qi would react when he heard the news.
Qi Zhou was in a hurry, and wrote a letter to Qi Baihui, the only second aunt who was still wandering in the rivers and lakes, relaying the news and asking her to find Qi Baiheng's traces.
Half a month later, Qi Baihui sent a letter, the content of the letter probably said that Qi Baiheng had entered the Fengyuan Pavilion in the northwest, and she went to Qi Baiheng to ask about the situation.
But since then, Qi Baihui, like Qi Baiheng, has not been heard from.
At this time, Qi Zhou also reacted, and the second aunt was afraid that something would happen to her.
Today's Xiaoshan Sword Sect is no longer available, and the old man Qi is old, although he used to be a divine will grandmaster, but for some reason his martial arts have been abolished, and he is just an ordinary old man.
His previous generation of Qi Baiguan had died, and Qi Baiheng and Qi Baihui disappeared one after another.
This generation of Qi Zhou also has a younger brother and two younger sisters, and he can't count on it, so he can only rely on Qi Zhou himself.
Qi Zhou was only seven years old at the time.
From that time on, Qi Zhou began to practice martial arts hard, but his talent for practicing martial arts was not good, and in desperation, he decided to practice his body hard, and the swordsmanship that Xiaoshan Sword Sect was most proud of hastily learned a few tricks.
He thinks very clearly, life is the most important thing.
In fact, after Qi Zhou's younger brothers and sisters had the ability to take care of themselves and take care of Old Man Qi, Qi Zhou said goodbye to them and went down the mountain alone.
"Wait...... Hundreds? ”
Chen Yuyan asked, "How long have you been down the mountain?" ”
"This, let me think about it......" Qi Zhou raised his head and thought about it with four or five bags of toads in his hand, "Since the day I went down the mountain, it has been about half a year, right?" ”
"Half a year?"
In other words, since Qi Zhou left the Xiaoshan Sword Sect, he could run into trouble almost every day.
What a decay boy.
"Yes, aren't the rivers and lakes all so dangerous, when I passed by Taihang Mountain last month, I encountered more than a dozen bandits intercepting caravans in one day, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to stop."
Qi Zhou still has palpitations when he talks about it now, "The blood all over the ground, I'm scared when I see it." ”
"It's better to stay in the mountains."
Chen Yuyan didn't answer, but as if he thought of something, he suddenly asked:
"So have you ever been injured until now?"
"Well...... Qi Zhou pondered for a moment, "This is really not, if it is said that it is injured, once I accidentally fell off while sleeping on a tree in the wild, fortunately, it has just rained, and the soil is relatively soft, but it still scratches my skin." ”
Chen Yuyan nodded and did not speak.
Something, it goes without saying.
He had already guessed Qi Zhou's identity.
"Why are the White Wolf Gang chasing you?"
Speaking of this, Qi Zhou also felt strange.
He followed the clues left by Qi Baihui and searched all the way to Weiyang County, but when the Ming Feng Banquet did not start, the mountain gate of Fengyuan Pavilion was generally closed to the public, and Qi Zhou had no choice, so he had to settle down here now and continue to investigate the situation.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being the "god catcher" in the future, Qi Zhou's sensitivity to clues is beyond ordinary people's imagination, but in half a month, he has touched the traces of Qi Baiheng cleanly.
In the end, all the clues point to the Jianghu gang in Weiyang County-the White Wolf Gang.
This gang is not strong on the surface, and can only be powerful among ordinary people, but according to Qi Zhou's investigation, the White Wolf Gang is inextricably linked with Fengyuan Pavilion.
From a certain point of view, the White Wolf Gang was originally a dog raised by Fengyuan Pavilion, specializing in solving some unsightly things for the latter.
And it can be seen from the fact that more than a dozen location martial artists can be sent to hunt down Qi Zhou at will, and the real strength of the White Wolf Gang is by no means as unbearable as it seems.
Qi Zhou originally wanted to sneak into the White Wolf Gang's station last night to find out, but the White Wolf Gang's people found the house where he lived one step ahead and tried to rob him.
There was a scene when I met Chen Yuyan later.
"Li Shaoxia, I don't know if I can trouble you with something." Qi Zhou stopped, and not far from them was Weiyang County.
Chen Yuyan didn't raise his head, "You want to ask me to help you solve the matter of the White Wolf Gang?" ”
"No, it's not." Qi Zhou shook his head, "I want to ask you, if I die in the hands of the White Wolf Gang or Fengyuan Pavilion, if you can, collect a corpse for me, if the corpse can't be seen, help me set up a mound under Daze Mountain in Jiangnan Province." ”
Chen Yuyan glanced up at Qi Zhou, then nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"Okay."
"Thank you."
Seeing Chen Yuyan leave, Qi Zhou stood in place, lifting the sword box behind him, his eyes firm.
No matter what, he must seek justice for his loved ones.
Even if it was the behemoth of Fengyuan Pavilion that stood in the way, even his own life could not be guaranteed.
……
After separating from Qi Zhou, Chen Yuyan carried four or five bags full of toads, circled around Weiyang County, and rushed towards the north of the county.
"Three miles north of the city, Tianqiong Mountain, Boundless Spring."
Chen Yuyan spent half an hour finally finding the location in his memory.
Jingxi white stone out, the weather is cold and the red leaves are sparse.
Although it is early spring, the trees here are still far from bursting into bloom.
As far as the eye could see, the bark of the trees in the forest was jet black, cracked with countless lines, and looked like scales, and the wind blew, and the branches made an old, faint sound.
There is a stream gurgling out of the bluestone, and Chen Yuyan turns over the narrow mouth to see a deep pool.
The water is turquoise and cold.
Chen Yuyan opened the cloth bag full of toads, pinched the tail of the bag and poured it out.
Suddenly, the whole deep pool was full of frogs, and countless toads were floating densely on the water surface.
After pouring out all the four or five bags of toads, Chen Yuyan sat on the bluestone to rest.
Half an hour passed, and I saw a golden light suddenly flash in the pool water, and a deafening sound exploded in Chen Yuyan's ears.
Quack - Quack -
The sound of the frog was full of anger, and it directly drowned out the sound of all other toads.
Chen Yuyan looked at the toad floating in the center of the pond and smiled.
It has three legs and is golden all over.
It is the alien beast "three-legged golden toad".
With this three-legged golden toad, Chen Yuyan has the confidence to be afraid of no one in Weiyang County.
"There's one last step left, we need to hurry."
Chen Yuyan looked at the three-legged golden toad lying motionless on the water and fell into a deep sleep, and turned to leave.
To awaken the three-legged golden toad, one more thing is needed.
It is the Dibao Sycamore.
In addition to the Ming Feng Banquet, Chen Yuyan also knew that there was a place where he could get sycamores, the number was very small, and it was useless for him, but it was more than enough to awaken the three-legged golden toad.
……
The sky was completely darkened, and it became a kind of airtight, depressing vault.
The White Wolf Gang's station is a courtyard in the north of the city, and there are many houses scattered around it, and ordinary White Wolf Gang members live in it.
"It's really uncomfortable."
Inside the room, the two sat on their knees.
The man who spoke was tall, strong and strong, his skin tanned, the strong muscles of his arms exposed, and his rough hands were forcefully clenched into two huge iron fists.
This person is the leader of the White Wolf Gang, "Yuan Wolf" Li Tianhan.
"What can we do about the things of heaven? Travel on a sunny day, and take shelter from the rain. ”
The middle-aged man sitting opposite had a beard on his lips and looked like a rich man.
"What do you say on the mountain, do you have to catch people?" Li Tianhan frowned, "That Qi Zhou runs faster than a rabbit, even if there is a magic talisman given by Lao Yuan, it is very tricky, the brothers went out last night, and they haven't come back yet." ”
"The devil knows which mountain I ran to."
"It's okay, I'll send someone to send some better quality Divine Talismans later." Lao Yuan waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.
"Come, drink."
"Drink, drink."
Just as the two were staggering, the door of the wing room was suddenly pushed open roughly.
"What stupid person who doesn't have long eyes, didn't you see that I was drinking with Yuan Yuan?"
Li Tianhan frowned violently, but at this time, he smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.
Subconsciously, he fell on his body, kicked the ground with the soles of his feet, and his body disappeared in place in an instant.
There was only a deep pit on the ground that was more than three inches into the ground, and a dull thud of the sole of a shoe hitting the ground.
The speed is so fast that ordinary people can only see the afterimage and hear the howling wind.
Almost in an instant, Li Tianhan brushed twice and flickered, and then pounced in front of the enemy, his fist speed was extremely fast, and the instantaneous scene was a series of crumbling fists that shot straight out.
Bang Bang -
A few muffled sounds sounded, and Li Tianhan only felt that his fist seemed to be smashed on an iron plate, not only did he not cause half a point of damage to the opponent, but he couldn't hurt himself.
The attack was ineffective, and he retreated violently, and it was only after standing beside Lao Yuan that he really saw the appearance of the comer.
He was dressed in a cloth coat worn by ordinary people, but he wore a fox mask for the Lantern Festival on his face.
"Who is Your Excellency, and why did you forcibly break into my White Wolf Gang?"
Li Tianhan's scalp was numb, and after a short fight, he knew very well that he was not the opponent of the person in front of him at all.
"This chivalrous man, the one standing behind the White Wolf Gang is Fengyuan Pavilion, we have to think twice about everything, we have something to say, we don't have to be so impulsive."
Lao Yuan also hurriedly persuaded him.
"Are you threatening me?"
Chen Yuyan turned his head, his gaze was indifferent, and his eyes seemed to be looking at a dead man.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." When Lao Yuan heard this, cold sweat soaked the clothes on his back, "I mean that the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, everyone thinks peace." ”
Chen Yuyan sneered, ignored him, and looked at Li Tianhan and said:
"Hand over the sycamore, I'll spare your life."
But as soon as these words fell, Li Tianhan roared angrily, turned his head and smashed through the wall behind him, and fled with great strides.
As a person who specializes in doing dirty work in Fengyuan Pavilion, Li Tianhan has been rewarded by Fengyuan Pavilion for doing things neatly.
Three sycamores.
Although I don't know how the mysterious person with the fox mask in front of him knew about this, Li Tianhan will definitely not agree to this request.
These sycamores are the key to his breakthrough through the three realms of the exterior scene, how can he hand them over!
Because of his limited talents, if he didn't rely on these sycamores, he Li Tianhan wouldn't want to go further in his life.
This wing room was specially made by Li Tianhan, in order to be able to escape by surprise in case he was forced to a desperate place.
He has done all the bad things over the years, offended many people, and he has long guessed that he will have such a day.
As for Lao Yuan, Li Tianhan could only let him ask for more blessings.
Dead friends don't die in poor ways, Li Tianhan can't take care of himself, where is there room to take care of him.
And Lao Yuan stayed there, and he could delay for him for a while.
But as soon as Li Tianhanfu rushed out, he saw the sound of strong wind behind him.
He looked back and was shocked.
I saw a frightened head thrown straight towards him, and the face on it was Lao Yuan, who was still drinking with him!
"Where do you want to flee?"
Suddenly, a faint sound sounded on Li Tianhan's right side.
As soon as he turned his head, what caught his eyes was a pair of deep and bottomless pupils, which made Li Tianhan fall into it.
A few quarters of an hour later, Chen Yuyan walked out of the side door of the White Wolf Gang's station, with an extra delicate jade box in his hand.
Although Li Tianhan's strength is strong, at most he can compare with the crane tail at the bottom of the Qingyun List, and compared with Chen Yuyan, it is still too bad.
It doesn't take much effort to solve him.
Walking through the deep alleys, Chen Yuyan changed into Li Qingsong's clothes and went to Chaofeng Inner City.
The next day's competition to recruit relatives has already begun for a while.
By the time Chen Yuyan arrived, it had been a while.
The young man standing in the third ring was yesterday's champion, who defeated seven challengers in a row, the disciple of the Northwest Great Sect of the Tibetan Blue Sect, Tang Zhou!
At this time, he defeated another martial artist who came to the stage to challenge, counting this one, Tang Zhou has won eight consecutive victories, and now is the time to be complacent.
"Heroes, are there any more who have come up to challenge?" He bowed to the crowd and asked loudly.
Everyone in the audience, look at me, I look at you, no one responded, the skills were almost the same yesterday they were all on stage, and the rest of the people saw that Tang Zhou's skills and knew that they were not opponents, and they were not ready to be embarrassed on stage, so the stage immediately became deserted.
"Heroes, hasn't anyone come to the stage yet?"
Tang Zhou asked loudly, his voice was a little proud, this is a rare opportunity, this time he showed his face once, and he will have face when he says it in the future.
"I'll come......" At this moment, someone said lightly, the voice didn't seem to be loud, but it made Tang Zhou in the ring hear it clearly.
Tang Zhou was stunned, looked over at the color shed, and saw a young man in a beast skin coat standing up and walking down the color shed step by step.
This man is not tall, nor is he burly, and he walks unhurriedly.
There was no fancy behavior like those who came on stage before, just walked down the shed step by step, and then stepped into the ring step by step.
His appearance is handsome, but the whole person is a little gloomy, even in broad daylight, there is an eerie cold air on his body.
Fighting in the martial arts, Tang Zhou was certainly not a stupid person, watching the man walk up step by step, his face became more and more solemn.
Although the man walked unhurriedly, there were very few flaws in his movements.
"This young man!" Seeing the man walking into the ring, Tang Zhou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted, "I don't know what to call the young man?" ”
"Chu River." The young man bowed his hand to Tang Zhou and replied lightly.
"Chu River?" Tang Zhou was stunned for a moment, and his face changed, "'Mountain Monarch' Chu He? ”
"Well......" the young man nodded weakly, "that's what someone calls me." ”
"Shan-kun, Shan-kun!" Hearing this name, the audience was suddenly confused, and this name has gradually become louder in the northwest martial arts in recent years.
This Chu He is a character who is both good and evil, since his debut, he has done everything, in order to reward silver, he arrests murderers and takes people, escorts darts to transport goods, and will also do black and black things.
Sometimes he will be happy to take revenge, and he will draw a knife to help when he sees injustice, but sometimes he will also do things that rob his family, which is unpredictable.
What really made him famous was his ruthless skills, whether good or evil, as long as he fought with him, few people could escape from his hands, and even if he barely escaped, he would end up with a disability or the consequences of his martial arts being abolished.
In Chu He's words, he grew up in the dense forest since he was a child, and the fierce beasts he encountered either died or died, so he never had the habit of keeping his hands.
After coming and going, Chu River fell into the name of a mountain monarch, which frightened countless people.
However, no matter what Chu He's reputation is, he is indeed a master, a real master, far more powerful than those small fish and shrimp before.
Tang Zhou's face was solemn, looking at the Chu River, and he hesitated again and again in his heart.
Chu He didn't speak, just stood quietly with his hands down, standing in the ring, his eyes staring at the ground, and he didn't seem to want to look at Tang Zhou more.
It's just that the cold air on his body is bubbling outward, and even some people in the audience feel the gust of wind around Chu River.
In the end, Tang Zhou gritted his teeth and arched his hand towards Chu He, "Chu Shaoxia's skills are strong, he is not an opponent in the next game, this time, I admit defeat!" ”
After speaking, he arched his hand and left the ring directly.
Seeing this scene, there was an uproar in the audience, this Chu He just got into the ring, and he didn't even move his fingers, and he scared away the martial artist of the three realms of the exterior scene, such a skill is really terrifying.
Chu He didn't have the slightest expression on his face, as if this Tang Zhou should step down, he raised his hand and hugged his fist, but he didn't speak to the audience, just stood quietly in place, closed his eyes and recuperated.
From now on, the guards in the three rings are all the top 100 powerful figures on the Qingyun list!
"Pulsatilla" week is not worried!
"Little Lei Gong" Zheng Yi!
"Mountain King" Chu River!
