Li Jing carefully observed Taihao's expression, and saw that his eyes flashed with a desire for the cheats of "Hungry Cat Hunting for the Dragon", so she asked softly: "Taihao hero, are you also burning in your heart with the fire of desire to get this cheats?" ”

Tai Hao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The cheats of "Hungry Cat Seeking the Dragon", as the finale of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill", its preciousness is self-evident. Mao Zu taught the first eight volumes to the eight disciples separately, but the whereabouts of the ninth volume have become a mystery for the ages. It's unbelievable that it's here now. ”

Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "This secret book is indeed a treasure coveted by martial artists in the world. Since ancient times, countless heroes and heroes have tried their best to find it, but they have returned in vain. However, with the efforts of our Mad Shadow Sect disciples, it unexpectedly reappeared at the bottom of Tianchi Lake. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "What is the mystery at the bottom of the pond and lake that day, and can you hide this secret book?" ”

Li Jing said: "Tianchi is located on the border of the Western Regions, and the environment is extremely treacherous and inaccessible. The bottom of the lake is even deeper, and the undercurrent is surging. The cheats are placed in a special poplar wooden box, which is extremely sealed and resistant to the erosion of the lake. Because of this, it can sleep at the bottom of the lake for hundreds of years and become immortal. ”

Tai Hao frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "So, how did you know the whereabouts of the cheats and successfully take them out?" ”

Li Jing shook her head lightly and said, "I can't reveal too many details. But what I can tell you is that it was all providential. Perhaps, it was the spirit of the cat ancestor in the sky that guided us and allowed us to discover this secret book at a critical moment. ”

When Tai Hao heard Li Jing's words, the dark tide in his heart surged, as if he had been stirred up by a boulder. He knows very well that the secret book of "Painting the Tiger by Cat" is the painstaking work of the ancestors, carrying the essence of martial arts for generations, and must not be allowed to wander into a foreign land and become the things of others. He took a deep breath, his eyes were like torches, and he said to Li Jing in a firm tone: "General Li Jing, Taihao took the liberty to ask for a glimpse of the true face of this secret book, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled." ”

When Li Jing heard this, the corners of her lips hooked up a sly smile, as if she had already expected Taihao's move. She replied leisurely: "Taihao hero, you and I both know what your heart wants. However, I have repeatedly stated that this secret book is only kept by my Turks, and is not private. For the sake of his safety, I would like to allow you to watch it at this moment. ”

Taihao was unwilling and wanted to argue again, but was politely rejected by Li Jing again, his words were like iron and could not be shaken. He knew that it was useless to force it, so he could only put his thoughts down for the time being and secretly think about countermeasures.

Li Jing suddenly changed her words, and her tone was a little sincere and expectant: "Taihao Daxia, you are excellent in martial arts and knowledgeable, if you can be used by my Turkic Khanate, lead the army to conquer, and dominate the world, not only can you realize your own ambitions, but also save the people of Li from fire and water, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?" ”

When Tai Hao heard this, his heart was like a mirror, and he knew that this was a strategy to use his strength, and it was categorically unacceptable. He cared about his family and country, shook his head resolutely, and said resolutely: "Although Taihao is a native of the rivers and lakes, he also knows the word loyalty. Leading an army to attack one's own land is a rebellious act, and it is absolutely impossible. However, there are many cheats here, and there is no shortage of things from my Eastern Empire, and I vow to bring them back to set the record straight. However, the only way to find another way is to see if your country really has the heart to help the world. After finishing speaking, Taihao's eyes were like torches, staring at Li Jing, as if he wanted to gain insight into his true intentions in his heart.

Li Jing's voice was cold, and there was no doubt about her decision between the words: "Taihao Daxia is willing to stop in the grassland, which is really my Turkic luck." However, there is one thing, I have to warn the heroes in advance, this 'Kyushu Wujing Pavilion' collection is so important that no one is allowed to view it without permission except for me Li Jing. If the hero has a plan for this, please pay attention immediately, and don't let each other fall into an embarrassing situation. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he immediately bowed slightly, and there was respect in his tone: "General Li Jing is decisive and cautious everywhere, and he is really a rare virtuous minister." Between the words, he secretly figured out the deep meaning behind Li Jing's move, and had already calculated how to deal with this seemingly impeccable ban.

Li Jing saw that Tai Hao agreed, so she immediately ordered her cronies to properly place Tai Hao in a quiet guest room in the General's Mansion, the hall is spacious and bright, the grassland scenery can be seen outside the window, and the interior furnishings are elegant, showing the sincerity of Turkic hospitality. Taihao gladly accepted and settled down.

In the blink of an eye, Taihao had spent three days in the house. In the meantime, he found that General Li Jing went to the backyard alone at dawn every day until the top of the moon, and his diligent cultivation of martial arts was impressive. The exercises practiced are subtle and abnormal, sometimes like an eagle striking the sky, and it is incomparable; Sometimes it seems like a snake walking among the grass, and it is unpredictable. Although Tai Hao has a unique skill, in the face of such a unique way of martial arts, he can't help but fall into contemplation, trying to figure out the mystery.

And Taihao himself did not slack off in the slightest, and devoted himself to practicing "Ranger Miracles" in the room every day. With the hard practice day after day, the true qi in his body became smoother and smoother, the strength became more and more vigorous, and his understanding and control of martial arts reached a higher level. Whenever night fell, the moonlight spilled into the house, reflecting on his figure of concentrating on cultivation, as if painting a vivid picture of a martial artist's enlightenment together with the silent grassland of the outside world.

However, whether it was Li Jing's mysterious exercises or the martial arts pavilion that imprisoned the cheats, they were like two clouds of mist lingering in Taihao's heart. He understands that this trip to the grassland is by no means just as simple as cultivating the body and mind, and a meeting about martial arts exploration, cheats competition, and family and country grievances is slowly kicking off.

On this day, Li Jing wore gold armor, held a silver spear, and led a thousand iron cavalry troops to the frontier to carry out the important task of resisting the enemy. Tai Hao witnessed his mighty posture, and secretly thought in his heart: the time has come, and the action to regain the cheats of "Hungry Cat and Dragon" is imperative.

The night is low, the stars are bright, the lights in the general's mansion are dim, only the "Kyushu Wujing Pavilion" is shining with cold light under the moonlight. Tai Hao changed into a dark night robe, his body was like a charm, and he quietly approached the stone palace where the secret book was imprisoned. He took a deep breath of cold night air, his eyes flashed with determination and resourcefulness, and he gently pushed open the heavy stone door and stepped into the dangerous Wujing Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped in, Tai Hao felt a cold wind blowing on his face, only to see the lights in the pavilion suddenly go out, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness. Before he could react, 10,000 arrow feathers shot out from the dark grid of the four walls, like meteors piercing the night sky, heading straight for Taihao's vital body. He dodged like a swallow piercing through the clouds, skillfully dodging the rain of arrows, tapping the ground with his toes, and flipped through the air with the help of his strength, and had dodged several deadly attacks in an instant. Those arrows were nailed into the stone wall behind him, and sparks splashed in all directions, reflecting Taihao's vigorous figure.

After a few steps forward, Taihao suddenly felt a slight earthquake under his feet, and the ground instantly cracked a deep ditch, and the ditch was full of blades, and the cold light flickered. His eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he tapped the blade of his toes lightly, leaping over the ravine with his strength, his body as light as a fallen leaf floating across the water, and the blade cut through the night wind, but it could not hurt him in the slightest.

Through the knife array, Taihao stepped into a room, and there were countless bronze mirrors embedded in the surrounding stone walls, and the mirrors reflected countless phantoms of Taihao, which was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Suddenly, the phantoms in the mirror shot one after another, their fists and feet were like the wind, and the attack was fierce. Taihao's mind is not confused, he controls the shape with qi, and his body flows with the fist, while skillfully avoiding the phantom attack, he accurately judges the direction of the real attack, and dissolves them one by one, as if entering a no-man's land.

Just as Taihao was about to arrive at the place where the cheats were stored, lowered the treasure box, and was about to take out the cheats, an iron gate suddenly descended above his head, like Mount Tai pressing the top. He is not afraid of danger, and performs a trick in the "Ranger Miracle", his posture is like catkins in the wind, avoiding the iron gate lightly, and at the same time, he has grabbed the cheats of "Hungry Cat Hunting for the Dragon" hanging in the air and being entangled by colorful silk threads. Starting with the cheats, a strong internal force poured in like a tide, and Taihao was secretly happy in his heart, and the goal of this trip was finally successful.

However, just as he was about to leave, he heard the roar of the bronze bell in the cabinet, and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers swarmed in their arms, armed with spears and sharp swords, surrounded him. The leader of the general said sharply: "Taihao hero, he broke into the 'Kyushu Wujing Pavilion' without permission, intending to steal the cheats, can you be guilty?" Tai Hao held the cheats in his hand, looked around, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that the real battle had just begun at this moment......

Tai Hao put the cheats into his arms, facing the soldiers who came like a tide, his body was like a dragon and a phoenix dancing, swaying freely, his fists were whistling, and his legs were like whips, and he knocked the surrounding soldiers to the ground in an instant, and the sound of wailing came and went, and the scene was spectacular. Although those soldiers were well-trained, they were as vulnerable as papier-mâché in the face of Taihao's amazing skills, and they were defeated and embarrassed.

However, just as Tai Hao wanted to take advantage of the victory to escape, four figures suddenly swept out of the shadows, attacking Tai Hao like a storm. Their moves were weird, they cooperated tacitly, and the offensive was like a tide, instantly enveloping Taihao under a fierce offensive. Tai Hao knew that the comer was not good, so he stabilized his body at the moment, and used the exquisite body technique in the "Ranger Miracle" to deal with it, bringing gusts of wind between his fists and feet, and defusing the attacks of the four of them one by one.

After a brief confrontation between the two sides, Tai Hao jumped away with his strength, stood still, and swept towards the four comers with his eyes like torches. I saw that they were dressed in black and had gloomy faces, which were the notorious "four little ghosts" on Kunwu Mountain. Tai Hao couldn't help but sneer, and mocked: "The four of you are really ghostly, sticky like a dogskin plaster, no matter when and where, they can always meet you on a narrow road." ”

Ghost Ye, his eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Taihao Daxia, let's meet again." Today, our four brothers are determined to avenge the previous Onigen brother. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, the corners of his mouth raised a mocking arc, and he said indifferently: "You are really affectionate, the new ghost root has appeared, and you still have to avenge the old ghost root." After that, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he was obviously ready to fight with the "Four Little Ghosts" again.

Taihao and the "Four Little Ghosts" started fighting in an instant, the battle was fierce, the fists and palms were staggered, the body was like electricity, and dozens of rounds had passed between the stars and the stars. Taihao's offensive is like a tide, and his moves are deadly, seeing that the "four little ghosts" are already overwhelmed, and they are about to be defeated on the ground. However, just as the outcome was decided, the "four little ghosts" suddenly withdrew their hands at the same time, turned around in unison, bowed respectfully behind Tai Hao, and said in unison: "Master, you are here." ”

Tai Hao's heart froze, and he turned around sharply to look, only to see an old man with gray hair and steady steps walking slowly. He is one of the famous "Four Great Demons" in the rivers and lakes - the poor two. Although he is nearly eighty years old, he is still in good spirits, with a pair of deep eyes flashing with wisdom, and his bearing is extraordinary, showing the demeanor of a generation of heroes.

The poor two eyes fell on Taihao, and asked with a smile: "Taihao, it turns out that you also came to this vast grassland, it is really unexpected." ”

Tai Hao stared at the poor two and said in a deep voice: "The poor two heroes, are you also willing to become a member of the Turkic Khanate now?" ”

When the poor two heard this, they laughed loudly and replied meaningfully: "The Turkic Khanate has attracted heroes from all over the world, and countless heroes from all over the world have gathered here to seek common causes. Taihao, the cheats of "Hungry Cat Hunting for the Dragon" you just got, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it away today. Between the words, his eyes burned, and he looked directly at the secret book in Taihao's hand, obviously determined to get it.

Taihao's heart fluctuated, trying to convince people with reason, his eyes were firm, and he said seriously: "Poor two heroes, this "Hungry Cat Hunting for the Dragon" is the life's work of our ancestors, it is rooted in the soil of the Eastern Empire, carrying the spiritual blood passed down from generation to generation, it should not be exiled to a foreign land, let alone belong to the ambitious Turks. As a warrior of the Eastern Empire, and also a disciple of the Cat Ancestor, don't you have the slightest urge to bring it back to your homeland? ”

When the poor two heard this, a trace of complexity flashed in their eyes, and he said slowly: "Taihao, although the old man has this heart, he is powerless to do it. This cheat can't be taken away by the old man no matter what, and you can't take it away. Before the words fell, hundreds of soldiers once again surrounded Taihao like a tide, and the sound of iron armor colliding and footsteps on the ground were intertwined, forming a powerful oppressive force, as if silently anncing: If you don't hand over the secret book today, you will be killed.

Seeing this, the poor two spoke more calmly, and his deep eyes revealed a transcendent insight: "Taihao, the old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has already seen through fame and fortune like floating clouds, and he will not bring it in life or in death." These martial arts secrets are indeed treasures shared by the world, and they should be gathered together in one place for future generations to study and promote the prosperity of martial arts. If it is allowed to scatter the rivers and lakes, it will only lead to endless wars, what is the benefit of martial arts and common people? ”

Taihao was about to argue again, but the poor two had already understood his heart, and before he could speak, he admonished earnestly: "Taihao, if you can let go of your obsession and hand over the secret book, the old man promises that this matter will not be mentioned to Jieli Khan, and you can still live here safely, without worrying." If, on the other hand, you insist on using force to fight, you will end up in prison, and at that time, not only will you be unable to keep your secrets, but you will also be imprisoned. ”

Tai Hao stared at the group of soldiers approaching step by step, and then looked back at the "Kyushu Wujing Pavilion" that stood quietly, struggling in his heart. After a long time, he sighed and finally handed over the cheats. A soldier took the cheats and carefully placed them back in a treasure box in the distance, as if nothing had ever happened.

Seeing that the cheats had been returned, the portable "four little ghosts" quietly left, and Taihao also returned to the General's Mansion, with mixed feelings in his heart.
