Chapter 66: Humanity (10)

Xiao Xia and Mingyue arrived at the hut behind the four dog guards. He deliberately took two or three steps late, but neither the first ten directions nor the four dog guards later caused any accidents.

Xiao Xia carefully paid attention to the traces outside the house, this is the main house of a very ordinary farmhouse courtyard, except that all the buildings around it have been blown away by the wind that stirred before, there is nothing strange about it.

In the small room, as Shifang had seen before, there was only one young woman who couldn't move, and there was a young man who only had one breath left. Although the man was completely limbless, and the skin and muscles on his exposed head and face had aged completely out of shape, Xiao Xia could still recognize at a glance that it was Zhang Hengliang, who was still alive and kicking not long ago.

Zhang Hengliang's eyes rolled, and fell on Mingyue beside Xiao Xia, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything. Shifang half knelt beside him, put one hand on his neck and felt his blood, frowned and shook his head: "How can this be like this? Zhang Hengliang Dao Chang's whole body is so depleted that the poor monk can't see what is going on, it seems to be a little different from the Demon Sect's Heaven Conquering Transformation Skill."

"Huh, there's a skeleton here?" Shifang found a pile of garbage-like things in the corner of the wall. "This is also the collapse of all the essence and blood, but the technique seems to be completely different from what Zhang Xiaodao encountered, not being squeezed, but as if he was corrupted and exhausted?

Xiao Xia didn't have the heart to care about what happened to Zhang Hengliang and the garbage on the ground, from the moment he stepped into this room. His attention was on the four canine guards. As soon as he walked in, he felt the eyes of the four of them, the eyes of the hounds looking at their prey.

"Oh, the brothers of the four Shadowshirts. Is your mission accomplished?" said Shappi with a non-smiling smile at the four dog guards.

"Not bad. The man we should bring has been brought, and the man who should be caught has been caught. The strange-looking canine guard spoke, and he seemed to be the leader of the four. He was working with another dog guard to lift an unconscious young woman from the ground, and Natsu could see that the joints of the woman's limbs had been removed as they moved. is so careful with a woman who is in a coma and restrained, it can be seen that these people are really careful to leak.

And Luo Yuanquan stood in the east of the room at this time, looking around, at a loss. Apparently these four men brought him here and left him alone.

"The four brothers, don't you want to help Luo Dangjia give you some guidance? I don't think he understands what you want him to do, hehe, in fact, I don't really understand, can you ask the four for guidance?" Xiao Xia continued to laugh without smiling. But his hand was clenched into his sleeve and he grabbed two talismans. But anyone who can enter the shadow shirt guard is not an opponent to be underestimated, even if these four people are just dog guards who are good at tracking, Xiao Xia does not dare to be careless.

"What do you four want to do, do you want to fight?" Mingyue looked at the four fiercely. Luo Yuanhuan, who was looking east and west, immediately jumped over to block Mingyue as soon as he saw this posture, and shouted angrily at the four dog guards: "What do you want to do? With me, don't you want to move Mingyue girl's cold hair!"

"Luo San is in charge, don't be impatient. Mowgli-sama's order is for us to bring you to the Water Patrol. We've got you covered. We don't know what happens next. But this Taoist is our next task. Please don't get in our way. ”

The dog guard just glanced at Luo Yuanhuan lightly. Instead, he hugged his fist at Xiao Xia: "Is the Qingfeng Dao Leader of the Maoshan Sect? Lord Wuji has something important to discuss with you." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Xiao Xia squeezed the talisman's hand tightly.

"We don't know what's going on. Our mission is to find your traces and, if possible, bring you to Lord Mowgli. ”

"What if I don't go?"

"If you don't go, we naturally can't force it. The dog guard suddenly smiled.

"Oh?" this answer surprised Natsu a little.

"All we need to do is keep track of your whereabouts. The dog guard's smile was sly, like an old fox with a dog's nose. "If you were just one person, the four of us would still want to forcibly invite you to go, but now that Mingyue girl is helping you, and Luo San is in the middle. Our odds are slim. So just keep you down, and there will naturally be other tiger guards. Even Lord Mowgli personally came to invite you. ”

"It's not that the four of us are arrogant. In such a face-to-face situation, there are of course still people in the world who can still get rid of our tracking. But you're by no means one of them. Of course, there are more people who can wipe us all out, but in the same way, Qingfeng Dao Chief, you will definitely not be able to do it even if you add Miss Mingyue. ”

"What I mean by this is that you'd better come with us, Breeze Chief. From the information we have gathered, you can see that you are a very smart person and will never do anything stupid. If you want to drag it to the point where everyone does it, whether it hurts you or Miss Mingyue, that's what you don't want to see, right?"

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Xia suddenly smiled: "I don't think you should be called a dog guard, it's more appropriate to call a fox guard." ”

The leader of the dog guard smiled faintly: "As long as you can complete the task, it doesn't matter what the guard is." ”

At this time, Shifang also stood up and saluted the four dog guards: "Amitabha, why do the four shadow shirt guards bother with their swords? Now that the shape of this place is unknown, we still work together. At least we must first find out the murderer who killed Zhang Hengliang Dao Chang like this. ”

"Ahh I made him like that, and I was the murderer. I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. ”

Suddenly, a fluttering and soft voice sounded, and a rattan box rose into the air from the corner of the hut. There was originally a pile of furniture that had collapsed in the earthquake, and this rattan box was mixed in with nothing inconspicuous. Even the four canine guards didn't notice it, and it was only then that they suddenly spoke.

"It's you, it's the bad guy!" The first of all the people to react was actually Mingyue, and her reaction was quite intense. grabbed Xiao Xia and pulled him to Shifang's side, and then grabbed Shifang again. "Little monk, do you see it, it's the bad guy you let go. We must catch him this time! The three of us together will definitely beat him!"

"Amitabha. It turned out to be this benefactor. Shifang also seemed to recognize the identity of this rattan box, and he saluted eleven times. "I can't imagine that after saying goodbye that day, the donor will do evil everywhere. Did you harm this Daoist Zhang Hengliang like this? The bones over there seem to be Daoist Liu Hongde? They were also harmed by you? No wonder I felt the traces of the Ghost Heart Mantra on it. ”

"Is that the snake man?" Xiao Xia was also surprised. I never expected to meet this long-lost monster here.

"Ah Ah Yue, the little thief of the ten directions is bald. And that stinky Taoist priest surnamed Xia, I know you are here, are you chasing that Liu Laodao or that son of Heavenly Master Zhang? Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'm so excited. I was so surprised that I forgot what to do" The rattan box swayed in mid-air under the pull of a few silk threads, and the sound from it was still so ugly, or even more ugly, more sharp and ethereal. Some are incoherent and some are trembling. It seems to be too excited.

"Hey, that fat man over there, what's the fat man of Luo Dang's house. The screaming sound from the rattan box surprised everyone, and Luo Yuanhuan, who was called, was stunned, not knowing why this strange thing in the ancient world was calling him.

"Did Nangong Wuji let those four dogs bring you here? From which garbage heap or from which mass grave did he dig you out? Did he say what he wanted you to do here? Also, why did you say that you wanted to protect Ah Yue? Do you like Ah Yue? Why do you like her? You just said that you want to protect her? Ahhh What he said was also inexplicable, and almost no one knew what he was talking about. Why did you grab the Luo circle that I had never seen before and ask randomly.

Luo Yuanhuan stared at a pair of big eyes, stared at the strange box in mid-air with his mouth open, looked left and right to find someone to ask, but saw that everyone else was looking at the box with strange expressions, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

"Why is this snake man here?" In the shrill laughter of the snake man, Xiao Xia asked Shifang in a low voice.

"How can the poor monk know. Shifang smiled bitterly. "The poor monk's eyes are really shallow, and I don't know what method this donor used, maybe there are some doorways in the rattan box where he is hiding, and even if he is face to face like this, he can't see the reality at all. ”

"Then that Zhang Hengliang is really what he caused like this? The corpse over there is Liu Hongde's old way?"

"That Liu Hongde Lao Dao did die under the ghost heart curse, it should have been manipulated by the ghost heart curse to lead Zhang Hengliang here, but Zhang Hengliang's appearance may be that the poor monk's eyesight is not enough, and he can't see it" Shi Fang's face was heavy, and he looked at the half-empty rattan box cautiously. Although he is the highest cultivator here, but he does not dare to be careless, he has already seen the ghost heart mantra of this mysterious person under the heavenly volcano, and at that time he was restrained by the treasure of Buddhism, but now the treasure has been returned to the Pure Land Zen Temple, and he is also at the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, those four dogs. At this time, the rattan box stopped the four canine guards again, and the voice gradually calmed down. "Did Nangong Wuji ask you to bring that fat man to me?"

"It turned out to be Mr. She. The leader of the canine guard stepped forward and clenched his fist at the rattan box.

"Oh, you know me?" said rattan box's voice with some surprise. "It seems that it has some identity, not an ordinary dog. No wonder Nangong Wuji dared to hand over this task to you. What about Nangong Wuji now? Is he stumbling up on something? Otherwise, he would have come in person, right?"

"Lord Wuji dragged Zhang Yuhong Zhenren in Hongjing City, otherwise Zhang Zhenren would not allow us to meddle in this matter. Lord Wuji didn't say that he was a gentleman, but he just said that someone must be walking with the Water Patrol, so let's bring Luo Dangjia to the person who is traveling with the Water Patrol. The water patrol envoy was here, but there was no trace of others leaving, so I speculated that the people who accompanied me should have used some method to hide here, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. She. ”

"Ah, Nangong Wuji and Zhang Yuhong, the two old enemies, are finally facing each other? It's hard for Nangong Wuji. Zhang Yuhong naturally couldn't allow Ying Wei to interfere in the affairs of the Earth Spirit Master. Those secrets of Longhu Mountain have been mastered by the shadow guards, how can the Heavenly Master Sect gain a little peace from now on? Zhang Daoling's foundation that has been inherited for hundreds of years may end here, but he may not be Zhang Yuhong's opponent. Zhang Yuhong sat in that small county town during this period of time to recover the name of the snake demon, but he gathered a lot of faith and incense. Even if it is not as good as Jingnan, it can be said that you have taken advantage of the territory, so let's do it, the four of you come and rush back with me, with my help, at least Nangong Wuji can have a self-protection power. ”

"Oh, it's great to have Mr. She's help. The dog guard at the head looked happy, and looked at Luo Yuanhuan, who was at a loss there. "But Lord Wuji wants us to bring Luo San's family over, that's to be."

"It's okay, now that he's here, you don't have to worry about what happens next," the rattan box floated in mid-air and slowly floated towards the four dog guards.

Mingyue over there looked at it but became anxious first: "Oops." This bad guy is running away again, and he's still with these nasty people."

While speaking, Mingyue's figure was about to step forward first as soon as she moved. But Shifang next to her took the first step to hold her, and then Xiao Xia's hand also stopped in front of her. Both of them had solemn faces, and they didn't expect that this snake path man and Nangong Wuji were actually in a group, and if these four dog guards and snake path people joined forces. The three of them are no match at all in terms of strength.

But at this time. The transparent silk threads that supported the rattan box flashed in midair, and the heads of the two closest canine guards flew all over the sky like eggs that had been slammed.

The other two canine guards were a little farther away, and almost the stunned on their faces had not yet appeared, and their bodies had already subconsciously made dodge movements, but the speed of the silk threads was far from being comparable to their movements, and they were far sharper than ordinary swords, but one of the next canine guards was pulled in half alive from shoulder to waist, flesh and bones, internal organs splashed everywhere, and they died before they even had time to scream.

"Mr. Sheh!" you, the only one who didn't die was the leader of the dog guards. Although one hand was also shattered by the silk thread, it still flashed through the fatal spot. As he flew back, he screamed in disbelief.

The only answer given to him by the snake man in the rattan box was a small ball wrapped in thick black mist, which flew out along the transparent silk thread and directly sank into the body of the dog guard in mid-air, and the dog guard's leader's movements and expressions froze at the same time, and he fell to the ground and rolled twice, as if he was completely stupid and never moved again.

"I don't have any other feelings about the Nangong family, but I admire their way of raising dogs. Not only competent, but also loyal. The rattan box retracted the thread and fell from the sky, and the soft voice of the snake man sighed as if he was tired. "So sometimes it's a bit of a hassle to do something more private and say something considerate. ”

Shifang, Xiao Xia was stunned, and Mingyue also stared at the rattan box with a pair of big eyes in confusion. As for Luo Yuanhuan, from the very beginning, he was like plunging headlong into a completely incomprehensible fantasy world, and he could only open his mouth and watch the unbelievable scenes in front of him like a fool.

"Okay, now the only thing left is Ah Yue, the thief of the ten directions, the little Taoist surnamed Xia, and the fat man, what do they call you? Luo San is in charge? Are you in charge of the bandit den in the countryside? HeheheheheHeheHeheIt's really funny, okay, no matter what, it's a family to stay here."

"Hahahaha family" It seemed that even the snake people themselves were amused by this word, and the voice like a night owl pierced Luo Yuanhuan and hurriedly reached out to cover his ears. "Ahh I have a lot to say to you, especially that fat man, I have a lot to say to you, I have a lot to say to you."

No one could understand what the snake people were talking about and what they were trying to say. Everyone knows that the people who cultivate the Ghost Heart Mantra are some crazy people, and this one in front of him is even more crazy among crazy people, a crazy person who is extremely dangerous, everyone is preoccupied with it, and they don't have the heart to pay attention to those crazy words.

Suddenly, a roar quickly extended from the sky, followed by a golden sword light. Zhang Yuhong's figure appeared in the sky. With a sweep of his eyes, he had taken in all the situations below, and his eyes first swept over Liu Hongde's withered corpse, and then fell on Zhang Hengliang's body. The horrific light and blood swelled in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Liu Hengliang" Zhang Yuhong's voice and body in mid-air were trembling slightly, but he still stayed in mid-air with great self-control and did not move, but asked in an astringent voice: "Master Shifang, Xia Daochang, what's going on? Who killed Hengliang and Senior Brother Liu to become like that?

Zhang Yuhong appeared in time, Shifang and Xiao Xia both breathed a sigh of relief, and Shifang hurriedly replied: "We have just arrived." There was no trace of an Earth Spirit Master here. Daoist Liu Hongde seems to have been manipulated by the donor with a ghost heart curse, so he led Daoist Zhang Hengliang here, and Daoist Liu Hongde was drained of his body's essence and blood vitality by the ghost heart curse and died. The murderer is the donor of the snake man hiding in the rattan box."

"Snake Dao Man, Ghost Heart Curse?" Zhang Yuhong's gaze locked on the rattan box, and the fierce murderous aura almost condensed into substance and pierced the thing.

And at the same time as Zhang Yuhong appeared. The transparent silk thread on the rattan box was also hurriedly rolled in the air, grabbing the half-dead Zhang Hengliang and blocking it in front of the rattan box, and then the voice of the snake man slowly sounded: "It turned out to be Zhang Zhenren." Since you can get here, can you slaughter your Nangong Ji brother? The work of creation is out of control. Leave him to drink blood and eat flesh in that grand city?"

"Who are you?" Zhang Yuhong raised his eyebrows, as if a pair of swords were striking each other in the air, the killing intent in his eyes increased unabated, but the anger calmed down a lot.

"I'm also a friend of Nangong Ji, Zhang Zhenren, you don't need to be nervous. The voice of the snake man in the rattan box was not nervous at all, holding the half-dead Zhang Hengliang in front, he seemed to be very confident that Zhang Yuhong would not dare to mess around. "Actually, it was a misunderstanding. I didn't know that the old man was your senior brother, and I didn't know that this kid was actually the son of Zhang Tianshi. That's what makes it like this, and it makes you embarrassed. I'm really embarrassed. Why don't we just talk about a deal? Anyway, I still have a breath of air for this kid, and you can barely make a deal if you take it back to Longhu Mountain, why don't you let me go too, how about it?"

Zhang Yuhong took a deep look at the rattan box, but did not speak, and purple thunder began to appear slightly around him.

"Zhang Zhenren, you'd better not act rashly. This kid looks a little miserable now, but it's not the worst. And I have a way to make him a hundred times worse than dead. A small ball of black mist condensed flew out of the rattan box and slid along the transparent silk thread to the center of Zhang Hengliang's eyebrows on the top of his head. "I said it was just a misunderstanding, and I don't have too high requirements, but I just want a way to live."

In the next moment, with a flash of thunder, Zhang Yuhong, who was originally in mid-air, had already appeared beside Zhang Hengliang, one hand and his fingers were like a sword cut on the transparent silk thread that bound Zhang Hengliang, and the purple thunder light in the other hand had already grabbed the black ball that was almost next to Zhang Hengliang's eyebrows in his hand.

There was a loud bang, as if it was the sound of hundreds of strings being plucked at the same time, and the transparent filament was not cut off by Zhang Yuhong's fingers, but the violent shock was loosened from Zhang Hengliang's body. The black mist ball was destroyed by the purple thunder light in Zhang Yuhong's palm and disappeared.

The reaction of the snake people is also extremely fast. When Zhang Yuhong's sword finger exuding golden light cut into the silk thread, the rattan box he was living in flew away under the flick of several other silk threads, and the silk thread that was cut by Zhang Yuhong didn't know whether it was shocked and fell off, or he took the initiative to discard it, and fell from the rattan box like that.

"Kunlun's Xuanjing Celestial Silk?" Zhang Yuhong's brows furrowed, and the hand that crushed the black ball caught Zhang Hengliang, and the light on the sword finger was full again, and he pointed at the retreating rattan box, and a golden sword light shot away.

This sword light castration is extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it has already shot in front of the rattan box, and the rattan box seems to be too rapid to bounce just now, and a few remaining silk threads have no time to regain momentum and pop out, seeing that the rattan box is about to be pierced by the sword light, but a figure on the ground suddenly flew up and blocked the golden sword light in front of the rattan box. It turned out to be the leader of the dog guard just now, and after being entered by the black ball, he had been lying on the ground like a clay sculpture and wood carving, until the rattan box flew above him, and he was about to be pierced by the golden sword light sent by Zhang Yuhong, and he jumped up suddenly, blocking the sword for the snake man in the rattan box.

With a soft snort, the golden sword light completely submerged into the body of the leader of the dog guards, but did not pass through the body, but steamed out black light smoke like a soldering iron piercing into the water, and the black light smoke also dissipated quickly after leaving the body, and the body of the leader of the dog guards lost its original shape like burned incense ashes, turning into a mess of mud and falling to the ground with a pop.

No one paid attention to this strange scene at all, just now when Zhang Yuhong casually stabbed out the sword, Shifang and Xiao Xia changed their faces at the same time, and shouted at Zhang Yuhong: "Zhang Zhenren be careful!"

From Zhang Yuhong's own point of view, it is invisible. It can only be seen from their sideline position, just when Zhang Yuhong caught the falling Zhang Hengliang with one hand, Zhang Hengliang suddenly stretched out a hand in his stomach and pointed at Zhang Yuhong, and a golden ball between his fingers was spinning rapidly, stirring up a monstrous aura and a faint tiger roar.

PS: Happy New Year everyone! (To be continued......)
