Out of the Jianmen Pass, enter the Mingyue Gorge, and build a wooden plank road along the river cliff for dozens of miles; Thrilling and magnificent, and then through Zhaohua directly to Lizhou, this road did not encounter the rivers and lakes of the fierce men blocking the way, there were several waves of small conflicts on the way were leveled by Zhang Ziya with a gun, to this free thug plus coolies; Daochang Zhao was very satisfied.

The back section of the road almost the whole process rode the horse and whip, and advanced more than 60 miles on the official road in one breath, and the sun had not yet set in Lizhou.

It is convenient to rush on the second day, everyone is looking for an inn to live in Qipanling, a tributary of the Langjiang River, Qipanling is close to the Daxi River, a tributary of the Langjiang River, the plank road needs to bend seven times along the way before you have to cross Qipanling, the mountain beam is equipped with a checkpoint, named Qipanguan, although it is not as dangerous as the Jianmen Mountain Yifu Pass, but it is also a little steep.

Most of the inns and liquor stores are built at the Daxi River Col at the foot of the mountain, the low-lying river bay is convenient to block the wind and keep out the cold, and the water is taken nearby.

The group of people found an inn called 'Fengxi Building' along the valley of the river, and they were tired all day long, and they hastily coped with the five internal organs and went back to the house to rest, and even Zhang Ziya, who was haunting Li Zhan all the way, went back to the house to rest, he took care of the luggage of three people by himself, and acted as a thug halfway, so he was naturally more tired than a few people.

The Bijia sisters burned tea oil and sulfur water for Zhao Daochang and left behind the door, they were stained with Zhao Daochang's light, and some people carried backpacks, and this day was quite leisurely.

After Zhao Zhengli returned to the house, he soaked the wooden barrel alone and began the process of refining the poison every day, the eight veins of the Qi Sutra easily penetrated the whole body, and skillfully operated the true qi to eat and refine the Gu poison from the inside out, as the true qi and the Gu poison fought every day, the body's endurance became stronger and stronger, he was forced to refine from the beginning, to the current enjoyment of refining, Zhao Zhengli pierced the seal through a pinhole, in order to increase the speed of Gu poison leakage, and at the same time improve the body's double anti-poison ability.

He kept refining poison until midnight, and after finishing work, he looked at his index finger, which was as black as coal, and tried to inject true qi and pointed at the wall, leaving a black spot, and then quickly spread to the size of a palm, severely corroding the wall, and from a distance it looked as if it had been burned by fire.

Only Zhao Zhengli knew that it was the Ten Thousand Corpse Gu Poison that almost took his life, and the toxicity was still at the level of the Great Grandmaster, just imagine that after it was thoroughly refined, the body was not afraid of the poison below the Great Grandmaster, and when facing the enemy, he could quietly give others a finger; Who can stand it?

He was fully dressed, his knees collapsed and his eyes closed, and when he calmed down, he realized that something was wrong, and listened to himself with his ears pricked up for a while: "The night of Qipanshan is so quiet? Insects and birds are not singing? ”

Although I thought it was strange, I didn't think much about it.

Around the hour, the stable outside the inn was startled by the sound of restless horses' hooves, very subtle, almost imperceptible, and may not be heard from a distance, but the stable was only a wall away from Zhao Zhengli's house, and he was already vigilant, but at this moment he was even more confused, and there was no movement when he leaned his ears against the wall.

He was suspicious of the collapse again, and after some thought, he decided to check the situation at the window of the entrance of the stairway, put on his clothes and walked against the wall like a gecko, and was brushed with powder less than ten meters out of the door, and he touched his forehead; It's all fine dust, and when you squint at the roof, the dust falls through the cracks in the tiles.

"There are assassins on the roof" is Zhao Zhengli's first conclusion, and he did it lightly, but he didn't make the slightest sound, he quietly went back to the house and covered the pillow with a quilt, arranged someone to fall asleep, and then took out the purple . Yang Jian closed the door to find the Assassin.

Just a moment after he left, the windows of the house were injected with thick black smoke, and this thick black layer has increased many times, and he may understand that the path of the assassin is high and deep, so it is heavier.

Daoist Zhao followed the assassin along the dust to the location of Li Zhanyi's room, and when he stopped above, he silently climbed from the window of the attic corridor to the eaves, climbed upside down like a spider, and slowly poked his head up to the roof, and saw a masked man in black slowly moving the tiles.

Zhao Zhengli turned over and jumped on the roof like a cheetah, and fell silently on the fragile tiles, and looked closely at his feet suspended more than one finger, this was Zhao Daochang forcibly dragging his body with his true qi to avoid the tiles, and he raised the purple. The Yang Sword was about to stab away, and suddenly the woman in the distance said sharply: "Senior brother, be careful!" ”

The man in black instinctively flicked his legs and flew away, but the distance was too short, plus Zhao Zhengli was already ready to attack, this sword was strong and stabbed straight at the back of the man in black, he moved sideways in pain, and smashed a series of tiles, Zhao Zhengli followed closely, and the long sword in his hand swung out dozens of meters of sword qi, ten centimeters higher than the roof, and the huge fluctuations still lifted a lot of tiles.

The two men in black have converged, but the person who was stabbed in the back by Zhao Zhengli is basically out of combat power.

At that time, downstairs Li Zhanyi jumped from the window to the roof, and after learning the situation, he angrily locked on the two black-clothed people, the two of them turned around and fled when they saw the assassination failure, Yu Xiaowei and Zhao Zhengli naturally refused to let go, after all, they didn't know who was assassinated, wouldn't they be worried about the next hundreds of miles?

It was a terrifying speed for the two Grandmaster powerhouses to chase with all their might, and even so, they chased more than ten miles of mountain roads, and only then did they stop the two men in black.

There are no superfluous words, stopping is a sword greeting, the two black-clothed people are not in a high realm, the little grandmaster is at the peak, he is not good at fighting, but he has a light skill, and he was caught without three moves, Zhao Zhengli and Li Zhanyi ripped off the black scarf, they were young men and women.

There were smiles on the corners of the mouths of the two, like victors, Li Zhanyi and Zhao Zhengli's hearts jumped: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain? ”

There was no time to torture, the two of them stepped back like a chicken boy carrying a chicken, and exchanged a few breaths of time for more than ten miles, and the figure was like a gust of wind blowing, borrowing strength at the tip of the grass, a little wave in the water, and the return to the inn had been fiercely fought into a group, and there were Jianghu people and Yu Jia's iron cavalry guards.

Li Zhanyi went upstairs to find Yu Xiaowei as soon as possible, and Zhao Zhengli cleared the obstacles with three or two swords and came to the Bi family sisters.

Zhao Daochang only then had time to watch the chaotic situation, roughly divided into three waves of people, one wave was headed by a monk wearing animal skins and robes, with a full beard and unable to distinguish his nose and eyes, he held a vajra pestle, hung a large string of prayer beads, and killed back and forth in the crowd.

He also found a familiar figure in it, holding a pair of brand-new gongs, melee with the Yu family's armored soldiers, that person was the second protector of Tubo who abandoned the Dharma gong and fled in Shu County half a month ago, Lafu Bo.

The other wave was wrapped in a turban, wearing a black dress embroidered with flowers, and a black waist cloth wrapped in it, so dressed with the characteristics of Dali.

The other wave is the Shudi people of Qingguo, wearing coarse linen, green shirts, belts, either wearing curled hair or full hair, all of which are Qingren dresses.

Daochang Zhao was surprised; How did these people find out here? Rushing to yourself? Or did it happen by chance?

Bi Rou looked at the black-clothed assassin he captured, and her killing intent suddenly appeared: "Dao Chief, these people from the remnants of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Tubo people, and the Jianghu killers were all attracted by Shao Zhou!" ”

Zhao Zhengli quickly searched for this familiar name in his memory, and soon remembered the bamboo forest near Mount Emei in Shudi, and remembered the dead Xiao Dai, and was suddenly surprised: "Didn't Xiao Dai kill?" ”

"I'm weird, but he's still alive!"

Biyu pointed to one of the people who were fighting on the left and right through the chaotic crowd, it was Shao Zhou who led the Tubo people to chase and kill Xiao Dai half a month ago, Zhao Daochang didn't understand why Xiao Dai let him go that day, and now he can't ask; I don't bother to understand, since the abacus hit my head, I killed it.

At that time; Someone killed Zhao Zhengli and the three of them, and the Dao Chief swung out the sword qi of Changhong Rusun, directly shattering the explosive bodies of several people, and the blood was misty.

Someone took advantage of the blood mist to sneak attack Zhao Daochang, only to hear "Wow!" With a sound, the flying needle shot straight at him, he could distinguish everything by air fluctuations alone, and naturally he would not be affected by the blood mist, so he decisively poked out a palm of true qi and stabbed the flying needle in a different direction to a Tubo man in a beast skin robe, and saw that the person was foaming at the mouth and was killed instantly.

The strong poison frightened Zhao Dao angrily, looking in the direction of the flying needle, it was a woman in Dali's costume, the woman saw that a needle failed, and shot several needles in a row, Zhao Daochang poked out a grasp of the true gas shape, and turned the explosive poisonous flying needle bucket around, and then returned the other body's backshot, the woman was startled, grabbed the nearest two people, blocked the needle for it, and she moved sideways to dodge.

The movements are coherent, the techniques are ruthless, and he doesn't care about the life and death of others at all.

Seeing that she had been paying attention to the black-clothed man captured by Daoist Zhao, Biyu slashed several swords on the man's face with her thin sword, and the man who had only half a breath left tore and screamed, making the woman anxious to exclaim: "Senior brother! ”

The woman saw that the matter was revealed; Regardless of her safety, she moved into the shadows and approached, leaving dozens of figures in the inn, it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, but she was easily slashed back by Zhao Daochang's sword, and the powerful sword qi directly shocked her a few meters away, and even overwhelmed a group of people in the rivers and lakes, and the woman angrily spewed out a mouthful of liver blood, even if she was infinite in the mystery of the transformation and shadow, she still couldn't reach the realm gap.

Zhao Daochang saw her hateful appearance, purple. With a wave of the Yang Sword, the man in black covered his neck and the gushing blood fountain was instantly killed.

The woman tore her throat and cried out in grief: Ah!

From a distance of dozens of meters, he viciously stared at Zhao Daochang and Biyu, and wanted to carve their appearance into the bone marrow.

Biyu didn't have the slightest cowardice, she raised her sword and killed the woman all the way, Birou couldn't rest assured and followed her closely, Zhao Daochang saw that the Bi family sisters had a great improvement in their sharp swordsmanship, and relaxed their hearts for a short time.

He focused his gaze on Shao Zhou, and waved the purple in his hand like a killing god. Yang sword, will block the road of Dali, Tubo and others ruthlessly killed, the sword up and down will have a person killed, no one to carry the second sword, like a life-seeking demon king.

Shao Zhou naturally noticed that he retreated while fighting, trying to distance himself from the demon god as much as possible, and the inn was so big, where could he retreat? So he decisively chose to flee behind the Tibetan beard, and the Tubo people had already paid attention to Zhao Daochang, and when he saw the white-faced boy looking at him, he showed a strange smile, which only made people shudder.

the other side; Li Zhanyi faced a middle-aged woman in Dali, she held a bluff of the nine-section whip dance, and the upper and lower two spear heads of the nine-section whip pierced back and forth, like a white snake spitting letters, and the golden silk was rubbing, so that Li Zhanyi's two scimitars had no chance to get close.

Zhang Ziya fought out of the encirclement to support Li Zhanyi, the red tassel gun in his hand was on the nine-section whip, and the touch was crisp, Li Zhanyi then cooperated with the scimitar to attack, and the two of them restrained the woman as if they were crushing.

There were backs and goings of the battle between several parties, and the Tubo people also recognized the opportunity to face Zhao Zhengli, and when they came up, they hit a thick palm, Zhao Zhengli did not dare to be careless and was forced to pick up, and the vast palm force forced the two to retreat, and no one stood within a radius of several meters, and they were all shocked and flew out.

The two of them became the focus of the home field in an instant, and no one approached without permission.

The Tibetan man was amazed and gave a Buddha salute: "Amitabha, the Taoist "Divine Dragon Palm" is really extraordinary!" ”

Zhao Zhengli was shocked, the "Enemy Palm" used by the Tubo people was much more clever than the two Dharma protectors at the beginning, and he didn't take the slightest advantage of this palm just now, and was even suppressed a few points.

Saying goes; Practicing one breath inside, practicing muscles and bones outside, this bearded "Enemy Palm" is both internal and external cultivation, while Zhao Zhengli's "Divine Dragon Palm" is only internal cultivation, all relying on Haoran's true qi to lay the foundation, and the two of them are just really angry, so he naturally loses a few points.

Zhao Daochang suppressed the true qi in his heart that was almost scattered, and said slowly: "Beast skin and hundred clothes, holding a vajra, this Dao has no enmity with the Tubo Muni National Teacher, and intercepted the heroes who were ordered to enter Beijing in the territory of Qingguo, can you make it clear?" ”

This person is the Tubo National Teacher, Mu Ni, is the rumored Tubo National Teacher realm not a half-step great master? Does he have reservations? Thinking about it like this, Zhao Zhengli's spine was cold, and it seemed that this trip to Beijing was extremely tortuous.

Master Mu Ni performed the Buddha salute with one hand: "Xiaodao Changxiu wants to use your country's holy decree to suppress the old man, isn't your Excellency not officially entitled, and now his identity is still a Taoist priest in the rivers and lakes, and he is not a meritorious hero." Moreover, the little Taoist chief killed my fourth protector of Tubo, and the old man was just seeking revenge according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

The Tubo National Teacher's smiling face slowly and reasonably, let Zhao Zhengli hear the taste of the long-planned plan.

Zhao Daochang's tone was a little gloomy: "Why didn't you take revenge earlier?" Waiting until the here and now? ”

The Tubo national teacher did not panic; Tell him slowly: "Because Qingcheng and Emei have great masters, the only way to enter Beijing is to have a chance, and this place is the most exhausting place for you to cross the Jianmen Pass and ride a horse for a long time. ”

Zhao Zhengli grimaced: "It's really calculating!" ”

He tried his best to delay, but now he was desperate, he still wanted to try to let Li Zhanyi and Zhang Ziya free up their hands, and the three of them worked together to fight.

The Tubo National Teacher praised Shao Zhou behind him with great approval: "We naturally don't understand the layout of Shu Road, and this is all thanks to Shao Zhou's little brother." ”

Zhao Zhengli's face was as cold as frost when he heard this, and he glanced at Shao Zhou intently, and it was really "If the villain does not die, he will become a trouble." "I regret not being able to do it at the beginning!

Shao Zhou shrank his neck, and when he saw that Master Muni was supporting him, he said with a gloomy face: "Who made your head valuable, someone in the black market promised a thousand gold, and if I Shao Zhou didn't come, someone else would come." ”

Zhao Zhengli was stunned, someone killed himself through the black market? I think I have been born for more than ten years and have no enemies, and it has only been more than two months since I came out of the rivers and lakes, and the only offense is the Shu County Guard who covers the sky with one hand, and now he is dead, who else? Nanzhaoguo? Or the state of Tibet? Or is someone in the imperial court blocking his entry into Beijing?
