Chapter 176: Tracking
The mountains and forests in the middle of the night are filled with lone wolves howling and tigers roaring, and if you listen carefully, there will be some snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Qi Zhengchu and Zhao Han sat on the edge of the bonfire, and they went down the mountain with Zhao Hao, but they went to another place first, and rushed to Qinggu to meet Zhao Hao tomorrow.
Qi Zhengchu held the long sword in his hand, and spit out a mouthful of black turbidity in his mouth, and there was a trace of blood red in the turbidity, which looked extremely weird and gloomy.
Obviously, this is not a normal practice.
At the same time, Qi Zhengchu's eyes also flashed with that gloom.
"Congratulations, senior brother, this trip has made progress in cultivation. I believe that you will soon be able to surpass Cang Wanjun and become the chief disciple of Cangshan. Zhao Han said.
The dispute between Cangjin and Cangshui lasted for several years, and the Cangjin side faintly suppressed the Cangshui side, and the reason was Cangjin's own grandson Cang Wanjun. Every time Cangshan's disciples have a dispute, Cang Wanjun can always settle everything.
Even if it is the same as the seven products of the opening monument, there is a gap between Qi Zhengchu and Cangjin.
Qi Zhengchu calmed down the true qi in his body, sighed, and said, "With the help of that adult, it is only a matter of time before you defeat Cang Wanjun. I now have a new goal. ”
Qi Zhengchu clenched the sword in his hand slightly, recalling the scene in front of the Shaowu Marquis' mansion.
The young man in white held his sword, stood alone, and slashed out a scene of wind and snow.
"Is it Ye Qinghuan?" Zhao Han asked.
Qi Zhengchu nodded and said, "Yes, it's him." The nineteen-year-old seven-rank powerhouse of the opening monument comprehended the rudimentary form of sword intent, and with his talent, it didn't take long to be able to perfect the prototype. ”
"More than a year after Cang Wanjun stepped into the seventh grade of the opening monument, he realized his sword intent. And Ye Qinghuan understood it before that. This is the gap, the gap in talent. ”
"Talent doesn't tell the whole story, though. How many geniuses have died in the world. Only by living long can you have a chance to stand on the top. ”
After speaking, Qi Zhengchu's expression was resolute, and there seemed to be a sword groan coming from the long sword.
Zhao Han seemed to feel Qi Zhengchu's mood and said, "I am waiting for the help of that adult, and I will not worry about standing at the top of the world." ”
The corners of Qi Zhengchu's mouth hooked up a smile, thinking of that adult's methods, he felt a lot more confidence in his heart.
"But we need to get things done. Otherwise, I won't be able to live long. ”
The two were silent for a while, and Qi Zhengchu suddenly said, "Recently, Zhao Hao has been messing with that new female disciple. As an elder brother, you need to mention him more. If you are greedy for women, you will die at the hands of women sooner or later. ”
Zhao Han also knew the temperament of his twin brother. "In the past two days, this kid must have been messing with that female disciple. I'll admonish him when we meet. ”
What the two didn't know was that they never had the chance to meet Zhao Hao again.
......
Yu Zhi followed Guo Shu'er closely, followed her into the alley, and then went to the wilderness outside the Qinggu.
Guo Shu'er was very cautious, and walked around the alley near there for an hour, repeating it many times.
The moonlight in the middle of the night is more dazzling, and the thousands of stars are not as bright as a full moon, and only the moonlight is the brightest.
The moon shines alone.
Guo Shu'er's footsteps were fast, and in a blink of an eye, he had come to a mountainside. This place is extremely far away from Qinggu, and it is very remote.
Suddenly, Guo Shu'er stopped, looked back a few times, and after making sure that there was no one around, she brushed aside the branches in front of her and walked into a cave.
Yu Zhi was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know where this place was, and he didn't know why Guo Shu'er came here.
Be careful, this is an eternal truth.
Yu Zhi lurked in the shadows and did not act. He looked around, trying to remember every plant and tree around him.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Yu Zhi still didn't move. He didn't seem to have the slightest interest in the secrets of the cave. Just waiting here for Guo Shu'er to come out of the cave.
Guo Yongnian's family was forced into the tiger's den and died in the tiger's mouth. This was the result of the investigation of the Beiliang government at that time. But Guo Yongnian's family was forced into the tiger's den by Qi Zhengchu and others, and then they were buried in the tiger's mouth. It was a great luck that Guo Shu'er was able to escape, and it was also the negligence of Qi Zhengchu and others.
Yu Zhi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say that something was wrong.
Another hour passed, and Yu Zhi remained motionless, staring at the movement in the direction of the cave.
Suddenly, Yu Zhi had another conjecture.
Could there be another exit from this cave, and Guo Shu'er left through another exit?
Thinking of this, Yu Zhi got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave. If Guo Shu'er is really Guo Xian, Yu Zhi has the responsibility to protect her. Guo Shuer has done too much for revenge.
A woman sacrificed her chastity and endured it for many years, preferring to sacrifice it to her enemies just for revenge.
It's hard not to feel distressed.
Yu knows that he is kind, this is how he was a child, when he was a child, he saved Ye Qinghuan in the river, and that time he almost froze himself to death.
This time, Yu Zhi also wanted to help Guo Shuer...... If she is really Guo Xian.
At the moment when Yu Zhi stepped into the cave, a sense of crisis instantly enveloped Yu Zhi's heart.
"Trap!"
Withdraw!
The muscle memory made Yu Zhi retract his steps violently, wanting to leave the cave.
But the trap came from behind Yu Zhi. Behind Yu Zhi, a gust of wind blew, and with a loud bang, the entrance of the cave collapsed, blocking Yu Zhi's retreat route.
But countless arrows flew in front of him, wanting to pierce Yu Zhi's body. The narrow hole made it impossible for Yu Zhi to dodge.
Yu Zhi didn't have time to think, the cave had collapsed, and there was no way out. In fact, Guo Shuer has already made a choice for Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi can only find a way to deal with the current crisis, or die!
A sword light flashed in the darkness of the cave, and then the sound of sword groans spread throughout the cave.
A sword calls the wind and snow!
Countless sword lights are wind and snow, and thousands of wind and snow are also sword lights.
Yu Zhi hurriedly struck out, slashing out countless sword lights in front of him, destroying all the arrows. Because of the haste of the shot, this sword is not very powerful, and it also blocks the arrows in the dark.
The business of broken arrows came intensively, and when the sword light of the wind and snow dissipated, the ground was full of arrows.
Yu Zhi knew that this was a trap set by Guo Shuer, and it didn't matter who it was set for.
The cave wasn't that dark, at least some places where light could be seen.
Yu Zhi raised his sword and just wanted to take a step forward, but it was just a small step. He is very cautious, because Guo Shuer is a person who is ruthless to himself, and a person who can be ruthless to himself will only be more ruthless to others.
It's just the arrow just now, if it were someone else, it would have been ten thousand arrows through the heart and died at this time.
Whoosh!
There was another sound in the darkness, rapid and high-pitched, like the sound of chains rubbing against each other.
Yu Zhi did not retreat but advanced, urging his martial arts true qi to rush into the darkness ahead. It's not a difficult thing to do, but it's the most dangerous thing to do. No one would act rashly when the enemy's situation was unclear.
Yu Zhi is not stupid, but smart and tight.
Unknown caves, unknown dangers, all these unknowns made Yu Zhi understand that his situation was not good. He was like a drowning man, and every minute and every second of the next moment could fall into a coma.
Therefore, he can't sit still and wait for the traps to come to him one after another.
The cave is dark all around, so it's impossible to know how big it is.
Whoosh!
An iron chain flew out of the darkness in front of Yu Zhi and approached Yu Zhi's throat.
Clang!
The chains rubbed against the sword, and the sparks flickered. The speed of the chains is not fast, far less than the speed of an arrow. This would be much worse if it were to kill someone.
Yu Zhi couldn't help frowning, this shouldn't be Guo Shu'er's character. Guo Shu'er was able to kill Zhao Hao so neatly, and it must be a killer move.
Soon, Yu Zhi knew what was behind the chain - the talisman.
One by one, the runes were tied to the chains, and the runes on the runes were already shining along the lines.
Although I don't know what kind of talisman this is, if these talismans explode, Yu Zhi will definitely not know what life and death will be.
This is Guo Shuer's real killer move.
Listening to the sound of chains turning around the cave, Yu Zhi knew that there was more to the talisman than that.
"This woman is so ruthless!"
Scolding and scolding, a solemnity appeared on Yu Zhi's face. If these talismans are of the explosive type, they will be buried alive under this cavern, even if they are not killed.
Yu Zhi raised his hand and slashed out a sword, cutting off the chains, and the talismans on the chains fell to the ground with the chains that had lost control.
Whoosh!
In an instant, countless chains came from the darkness, densely intertwined like cobwebs, besieging Yu Zhi inside.
The chains are not terrible, and the talismans on the chains are the key to making Yu Zhi dare not act rashly.
In just a moment, Yu Zhi was like a small insect that had fallen into a spider's web, with no way to escape. He was fully convinced that as soon as he moved, all the talismans would move together and kill him here.
Yu Zhi held the sword, put the other hand into his arms, and said loudly: "Senior Sister Shu'er, please come out and see." ”
There was no one in the dark, but Guo Shu'er's voice came.
"Senior Brother Li Zhi, why are you following me?"
Yu Zhi tried to identify the direction of the sound, but the sound seemed to come from a distant wilderness, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction.
Guo Shu'er hid in the shadows, looking at the besieged Yu Zhi, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She didn't know how much Yu Zhi had seen.
After leaving Qinggu, Guo Shuer noticed that someone was following him. After discovering that it was Yu Zhi, Guo Shuer cautiously guided Yu Zhi here.
She knew that in a head-to-head battle, she would not be Yu Zhi's opponent.
"Li Zhi... Where the hell did he start stalking me? Did he find out that I killed Zhao Hao? Guo Shuer is not sure about this question.
Yu Zhi said: "I just saw my junior sister walking alone, and I was worried that my junior sister would encounter a bad person. Unexpectedly, it caused a misunderstanding among the junior sisters. ”
Yu Zhi said as he observed the surrounding situation, wanting to find life in it, or find Guo Shu'er's traces.
Guo Shu'er was also hesitating in her heart, whether to let Yu Zhi go. The trap here was not prepared for Yu Zhi, but was used to deal with Qi Zhengchu and Zhao Hao.
Guo Shuer was reluctant to use it on Yu Zhi, otherwise it would be a waste.
But in just a few breaths, Guo Shuer made a decision in her heart.
"Senior Brother Li Zhi, I don't want to kill you. But whoever called you unlucky, it was going to ruin my good deeds. ”
As he spoke, the talismans on the chains began to flutter and hunt sounded.
It should have been Qi Zhengchu's burial place, but now it is Yu Zhi's turn!
