The night was like ink, and the cold wind on the top of Taotang Mountain was biting. Taihao and Zhongyan stood side by side, their eyes looking into the distance, as if they could penetrate the fog and reach Taiyi Mountain thousands of miles away. Their hearts were full of anxiety and expectation, and they knew that waiting at this moment was a matter of life and death for Bogu.

While waiting, Taihao learned what had happened from Zhongyan. On that day, Tu Poison Mo broke into Tao Tangshan and challenged Bogu. Unfortunately, the second Zhongyan and the third Ji Yan happened to be not on the mountain. Tu Poison Mo actually took the opportunity to use a yin trick and beat Bo Gu to a serious injury. Speaking of this, Zhong Yan's fists clenched, and a trace of anger and remorse flashed in his eyes: "If my third brother and I were on the mountain that day, we would definitely let Tu Poison Mo come and go!" His voice was full of determination and determination, as if he wanted to turn all his anger into strength and seek justice for Bogu.

Tai Hao's brows tightened, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice: "That Tu Poison Ink, where is it now?" ”

Zhong Yan took a deep breath, his eyes revealing deep helplessness and anger: "I have sent my disciples and grandchildren to find out his whereabouts. Yesterday, I finally got the news that Tu Poison Mo appeared in Yichuan City. The city is not far away, but the rules of the rivers and lakes bind me, and I cannot go to him because of personal vendettas. After all, he originally went up the mountain in the name of 'martial arts', and this reason was recognized in the rivers and lakes. If I go to him on the grounds of 'revenge', I will be violating the morality of the rivers and lakes. ”

Tai Hao smiled coldly, his eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Tu Yaomo, as a child of a minority in the north, dares to follow Yao Fuji to rebel. After the court put down the rebellion, I thought that this thief was dead, but I didn't expect him to dare to step into the Central Plains again and act recklessly. If he is not severely punished, will he not encourage the unhealthy tendencies on the rivers and lakes? ”

There was a hint of undoubted firmness in Zhong Yan's voice: "If my eldest brother really has three longs and two shorts, I, Zhong Yan, will definitely not let go of the thief who slaughtered the poison ink." His eyes flashed with rage, as if he was about to devour the Poison Slaughter Ink alive.

Tai Hao frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Why did this Tu Poison Ink suddenly find a Bogu hero to compete?" Is there any deep hatred between them? ”

Zhong Yan sighed, and his voice revealed some helplessness and pain: "Actually, the grudge between my eldest brother and Tu Poison Mo dates back to more than forty years ago. At that time, my eldest brother fell in love with a woman from the north, and the two of them fell in love and made a private agreement for life. However, my eldest brother didn't know that Tu Poison Mo was also pursuing the woman. When Tu Poison Mo learned about my eldest brother and the woman, he approached my eldest brother and asked to compete with him to decide who could win the woman's heart. The woman didn't want the two to fight for her, so she put forward the terms of the contest. In the end, my eldest brother defeated Tu Poison Ink and won the woman's heart. But since then, Tu Poison Mo has always held a grudge and came to the door many times to provoke, but he was resolved by my eldest brother. I didn't expect that this time he would take advantage of my absence on the mountain to do this to my eldest brother. ”

Tai Hao nodded slightly, and his eyes revealed a kind of profundity and thought: "That woman should have entered the age of the sixtieth year now, right?" There was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in his voice, as if he was recalling those distant pasts.

Zhong Yan sighed softly, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes: "She only followed my eldest brother for five years, and then quietly left. She didn't go to Tu Poison Ink, and she didn't contact my eldest brother again. Therefore, Tu Poison Mo has always believed that it was my eldest brother who killed her, so he would come to the door every few years to provoke her. But this time, his purpose is not pure. ”

"Oh? What other purpose did he have? Taihao's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of vigilance and curiosity in his voice.

Zhong Yan took a deep breath and slowly spit out: "He is here to take away a secret book." His gaze revealed a solemnity and depth, as if there were endless secrets and powers hidden behind the secret book.

"What cheats?" Taihao's voice couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise and curiosity.

Zhong Yan said word by word: "The name of that secret book is "Drunken Cat and Mouse". His voice was full of awe and respect, as if that secret book was the supreme treasure book in the martial arts.

Hearing the name of the cheats of "Drunken Cat and Mouse", Taihao's heart was like being touched by cold iron, and he trembled slightly. The secret book of "drunken cat catching mice", he had a fate to get it as early as when he was in Tibet, and since then he has been with him like a shadow and has never left his body. Just a few days ago, he carefully hid it under the tombstone of his master Yuan Shi Tianzun together with the secret book of "Tanuki Worship God", using heaven and earth as the furnace and the tombstone as the lock, guarding the two secret books.

However, Zhong Yan's words were like thunder, and he said that Tu Poison Mo intended to ask Bo Gu for the secret book of "Drunken Cat and Mouse". Taihao's thoughts are like a mess, is there actually two cheats with the same name in the world? One is already in his own hands, and the other is involved in so many disputes.

Tai Hao's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice: "Where did Bo Gu get the secret book of "Drunken Cat and Mouse"? His gaze was fixed on Zhong Yeon, as if he wanted to find the answer from the other party's face.

Zhong Yan sighed softly, and his eyes revealed a kind of helplessness and confusion: "My eldest brother actually didn't get the cheats of "Drunken Cat and Mouse". He had only gotten acquainted with some disciples of the Shadow Sect a few years ago. Shadow Gate, you've probably heard of it, right? ”

Tai Hao nodded slightly, and there was a hint of memory in his voice: "Many years ago, I did fight with the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect. I was impressed by their unique martial arts skills. ”

Zhong Yan continued: "Several disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect gave my eldest brother the hand-copied secret book. After my eldest brother got these cheats, he sorted out the contents and created a new set of palm cheats, called "Catching Rats and Palms". Tu Poison Mo mistakenly thought that my eldest brother had obtained the cheats of "Drunken Cat and Mouse", and he also innovated and practiced martial arts, so he kept thinking about my eldest brother and wanted to seize the cheats. ”

Taihao was silent after hearing this, but there were turbulent waves in his heart. He finally understood the truth of the matter, and it turned out that it was all a misunderstanding and speculation. Tai Hao said: "In order to seize the so-called "Drunken Cat and Mouse" cheats, Tu Poison Mo actually put such a heavy hand on Bo Gu, which is really mad. ”

Zhong Yan's voice carried a hint of depth and helplessness: "Tu Poison Mo is a notorious person in this Jianghu, he has been challenging the bottom line of the Central Plains Martial Arts for many years, and his existence has indeed made the rivers and lakes unpeaceful. His ambition and greed have caused countless fellow martial artists to suffer deeply. ”

Tai Hao's brows were tightly locked, and there was a hint of concern in his voice: "Did the "Rat Capture Palm Method" created by the drum hero be taken away by the poison slaughter ink?" His eyes were fixed on Zhong Yan, as if searching for a clue to the answer.

Zhong Yan sighed, and there was a hint of pain in his voice: "According to my eldest brother, when he was competing with Tu Poison Ink, half of the cheats of the "Rat Capture Palm Technique" were robbed by Tu Poison Ink, and the remaining half was torn apart by him in the fierce battle. It's sad that this book means a lot to my eldest brother, and now it's so ended. ”

Taihao was silent after hearing this, but there were turbulent waves in his heart. He never imagined that Bo Gu's cheats would end up like this. He took a deep breath, with a hint of firmness in his voice: "There is such a bizarre thing in the rivers and lakes, and the act of slaughtering poison ink is really outrageous. I will go and meet him for a while. ”

Zhong Yan nodded, his gaze revealing a kind of determination and firmness: "As long as my eldest brother can be safe, even if I chase it to the ends of the earth, I will find out the poison slaughter ink." I will not tolerate his harm to my eldest brother! ”

There was a hint of coldness in Tai Hao's voice: "Tu Poison Mo, this villain, not only did he injure my master, but he also committed even more heinous crimes in Pinghe City. What he did, I already wanted to settle accounts with him. Now, since he has poisoned Bogu Hero again, I have to find him to settle this account! His eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if he had seen the scene of the decisive battle with Tu Poison Ink.

Three days later, the sunset was like blood, and Chi Wei finally returned to Taotangshan. He walked quickly, but with a bit of fatigue. The precious medicinal materials he asked for from Taiyi Mountain, he carefully guarded them in his arms, as if they were the spark carrying hope. However, what is surprising is that only Chi Wei came back by himself, and those senior brothers who traveled with him did not return with him.

He solemnly handed over those medicinal herbs to Tian Shan, and each one was carefully selected without error. Tian Shan took the herbs, his eyes were like torches, carefully examining the texture and color of each herb. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded and instructed Zhong Yan: "Prepare the medicine pot and dry firewood, and I will personally decoct the medicine for the Bogu Hero." His voice revealed unmistakable firmness and deep respect for his ancestors.

Ji Zhen, who was on the side, frowned slightly, and asked Chi Wei, "Why are you the only one who came back?" What about the brothers who went with you? There was a hint of concern and confusion in his voice.

Chi Wei sighed and explained, "When we found the Medicine King, he was originally reluctant to take the medicine for us. These medicinal materials were extremely precious, and he easily refused to let go. However, when he learned that this prescription was prescribed by Tian Shan, the son of Tian Maung's divine doctor, and it was to treat Bogu Shizu, he changed his attitude. Not only did he not accept a penny, but he also offered to let the other brothers stay and go to collect medicine with him. He said the herbs there were extremely rare and took time to find. In order to get these medicinal materials, the brothers and sisters could only promise to stay and come back after half a year. ”

Ji Yan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded slowly: "It's only half a year, it's okay." As long as I can bring these medicinal herbs and save my eldest brother's life, it is more important than anything else. His eyes revealed his deep affection for his ancestors and his cherishing of life.

The medicine king left those men behind, ostensibly asking them to help collect medicine, but in fact there was something else to hide. As a well-known medicine king in the rivers and lakes, he has countless strange medicinal materials, how effective these medicinal materials are, and whether they can treat various diseases, these need to be verified. And the way to verify it is to taste it for yourself.

However, the medicine king himself would definitely not try these unknown effects easily, so he would find some strong men to test the medicine. These men were not only physically excellent, but also extremely loyal to the King of Medicine and willing to dedicate their lives to his research.

The process of testing drugs is of course fraught with risks, and sometimes it can even be a matter of life and death. A man who is unlucky may die instantly when he tries some highly poisonous herbs. It's not a high possibility, but it's always there.

After Ji Zhen heard that Chi Wei offered to stay and assist in collecting medicine, he naturally understood in his heart that this was just a tool for them to act as a drug test tool for the medicine king. But Ji Zhen thought about it, in order to save Bogu's life, even if he sacrificed a few disciples, what was it? If there was no such sacrifice, how could Chi Wei successfully obtain those rare medicinal materials?
