Chapter 51: A Thousand Fingers of Destiny
When they came out of Qianxia Mountain, two or three miles away from the Qianxia Courtyard, they saw a large group of fast catchers, looking out of the courtyard.
Gao Xianling, Lei Dongtian, and Su Tieyi walked out of the courtyard and greeted everyone.
"You kid!"
Su Tieyi grabbed Su Hanshan's shoulders and tightened it hard, "Good job!" The second uncle didn't expect that you could kill so many bastards. ”
When the other disciples of the Songhe Martial Arts Hall left the mountain, they already knew about Su Hanshan's achievements, and they were elated, and they all had smiles on their faces.
In contrast, the atmosphere on the Lei family's side was much more solemn.
There were more than a dozen disciples carrying the corpses of their fellow disciples on their backs, and the strips of cloth bandaged on Lei Rulong's left hand had been soaked in blood, and his face was gloomy.
"I still have too little experience to distinguish priorities in time."
Lei Baishi sighed to his father in a low voice, "I saw that those cousins were poisoned and crazy, and even the conventional acupoint methods couldn't stop their actions, so my first reaction was to pass them and immediately shoot the spirit monster with a thunder arc arrow." ”
"As a result, I first tried to restrain them, and then went to assist Cousin Long in pursuit, but before I could shoot the arrows, I turned around and found that the other cousins had been drained of blood."
Lei Dongtian patted him on the shoulder: "You know now, people can not fight, but they can't fight without the capital and experience." ”
"But this time, compared to the other three, the loss of our Wind Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion is relatively small."
Lei Baishi looked around and asked, "What about the owners of the three families?" ”
"They didn't want to see the people of the Songhe Martial Arts Hall, so they stayed inside and didn't come out."
Lei Dongtian looked at the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion, and there was a little jealousy in his eyes, and said, "In the courtyard just now, a good show was staged." ”
At this time, the catchers had already included the corpses of the spirits brought back by the two families into the battle records, and reported the results of the five martial arts halls to the county order so far.
Gao Xian Ling listened, first glanced at Su Hanshan, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "It's really a young man, the autumn hunt is here, and the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion is back to the top position after all." ”
Although the red fox was drained of blood, the skin was also a good material, and it happened to be cut off and died, so the two families were divided, and the second half was returned to the Songhe Martial Arts Hall.
In this way, in addition to those common beasts, there are half a red fox, a white fox, a gray fox, a red fire hive with a height of half a human and a group of poisonous bees.
The overall record is even slightly better than that of the Wind Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion.
What's more, there was not a single casualty in the Songhe Martial Arts Hall.
"The county has won the prize."
Su Hanshan was not shocked, and said softly, "Our Songhe Martial Arts Hall, after all, the strength of the people is weak, in the next time of the autumn hunt, we will no longer enter the mountain, and the record will end here, if we don't fall out of the top three, it will be a fluke." ”
Lei Baishi suddenly said: "I'm afraid that next, it's not just your family that will no longer enter the mountain. ”
He walked with his father, and when Lei Rulong saw it, he hurriedly strode to catch up, wanting to see what they were talking about.
I saw Lei Baishi carrying the corpse of the blue-gray civet cat, squatting in front of the county order, separating the hair with both hands, and revealing the golden ring at the root of the tail.
"This spirit is poisonous in its blood, please be careful, but please also take a closer look!"
Gao Xianling was puzzled, looked down, as if thinking of something, his face changed slightly, he called a catcher, took a pair of white gloves, and squatted down to check it himself.
Su Hanshan was also very curious, so he took a closer look.
"Is it ......?"
Su Tieyi saw the golden ring, and his face was also a little surprised.
"Mandate of Heaven?"
His voice overlapped with that of Gao Xianling.
The two glanced at each other, and Gao Xianling immediately got up and said, "Second Master Su walks around the most outside, can you be sure that this is the mark of the Heavenly Mandate Sect?" ”
Lei Dongtian said: "Xiao'er also has some guesses, but the marks on those gold rings are too badly worn, and this one is already relatively well-preserved. ”
Su Tieyi looked at it, nodded and said: "Although this mark is broken, you can still see something, you look carefully at this petal." ”
Su Hanshan also followed, if the mark was originally a flower, it was now ground to a maximum of only one-fifth.
The petals appear elongated and tightly arranged, forming a fairly uniform fan.
However, there were some small concave dots on the petals, which were arranged evenly, not like marks left by the impact, but more like they were carved into them in the first place.
"The mark of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, the thousand-petal flower, is said to be a thousand petals, but in fact, it is not a petal at all, but a human finger."
"The strictest standard for their mark is that the fingers of men, women, the elderly, and children each account for a quarter, a total of 1,000 fingers, which together form the imprint of several layers of petals. ”
"This gold ring should just be a rudder from somewhere, the specifications are not so high, but if you have enough eyesight, you can still see that at the end of each 'petal', there are traces of fingerprints specially carved."
Su Hanshan squinted and opened his eyes, and with enough skill, he couldn't see what fingerprints there were at the end of the tiny petals.
As soon as he raised his head, he just happened to bump into Lei Baishi's expression that was exactly the same as his own, and both of them were related.
But Lei Dongtian and Gao County Ling both nodded.
"Since it is really the mark of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, the autumn hunt really can't continue."
Gao County Commander said, "I will inform you that this year's autumn hunt is over, and I will go back later and report the news to the county guard immediately." ”
The Heavenly Mandate Sect is a well-known cult force in the rivers and lakes, and it is also the closest ally of the Liang King who launched a rebellion three years ago.
After the rebellion was put down, the high-level leaders of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, the head of the sect, the deputy head of the sect, the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden, and the hall masters of the six halls of the general rudder, were said to have been wiped out, and the rudders were destroyed in various places.
But once such a large sect, it is inevitable that there are still some remnants of evil wandering outside, and it is impossible to search for them all at once and kill them all.
The reason why the Heavenly Mandate Sect has such a bad reputation that even some organizations that are also evil sects are disgusted is that they are particularly keen on capturing martial artists and spirits, and using some inhumane means to study the secret methods of evil skills.
After the Mandate of Heaven Cult was encircled and destroyed, there was the possibility that the spirits who had been captured by the Mandate of Heaven Sect would take the opportunity to escape and go into exile.
But if these spirits didn't escape to Qianxia Ridge by themselves, but were brought over by some remnants of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, the danger level would skyrocket.
Su Hanshan and the others described the performance of those spirits, and everyone had a judgment in their hearts, and it was roughly certain that there should be no main messenger behind them.
It's just that for the high county order, even if you know that it is unlikely, as long as this mark appears, it is safe to report it.
"Since that's the case, then we'll go back to the Songhe Martial Arts Hall first."
Su Tieyi didn't plan to let the disciples enter the Qianxia Courtyard, so he happened to go home directly.
"Lord Gao, among our achievements, those fierce beasts should be sold to the county government according to the old rules, but we still have to take these spirits away by ourselves."
Su Tieyi laughed, "Please spread the news a little bit on Lord Gao, if you have a generous hand and are interested in things like Red Spirit Pulp, you can come to the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion to find us." ”
Everyone in the Songhe Martial Arts Hall said goodbye in unison and turned to leave.
Gao County Ling and Lei Dongtian led the crowd to return the salute and watched them leave.
They walked when they came, and they walked when they went, and they had some more weight on their bodies, and their clothes were stained with a lot of stains from the mountains.
But looking at the group of people raising their eyebrows and swaggering, it seems to be more majestic than riding horses and whips, fresh clothes and carrying swords.
No one will laugh at them again for not riding horses.
