The two tributaries of the Tianxing River, the one in the west winds down from the top of a very high mountain and is called the Huaxue River, while the one in the east is called the Yongquan River, which is based on the spring water gushing out of the ground and runs through the mountains and forests.

Fei Tukong and Hua Qingyu first traveled along the tributary on the west side to the top of the mountain in the distance. The Cangyun Ridge peaks are continuous, and I don't know which mountain this tortuous tributary originates from. The two of them walked deep and shallow in the snow. The reason why this tributary was chosen for exploration first is because most of the banks of the Huaxue River are rocky and boulders, and the trees are rare, so it is easier to find the raw materials of the strange poison. It is easy to explore, but the process of travel is not easy, this small river flowing in the rock crevice cave can be described as five steps and one waterfall, which adds a lot of trouble to the itinerary of the two.

With the elevation of the terrain, the entire Cangyunling area is in full view. The majestic mountains have all been "white-headed", and only a touch of cyan can be faintly seen in the sky. Under the warm winter sun, the whole world is white. Occasionally, the mountain wind mixed with snow powder and cold dust blew, gently covering the footprints left by the two. If the cold winter in the north is cold and unforgiving, then the winter in the south is refreshing and mild. It is rumored that this place was once the place where meteors fell, adding a mysterious beauty to Cangyun Ridge.

The snow river, which does not freeze in winter, gradually turns into a babbling stream, trickling water, gently brushing over the shallow riverbed, it is hard to imagine that this soft water flow is very likely to contain some kind of poisonous raw material. After a few days of walking along the banks of the Huaxue River, the river guided Fei Tukong and Hua Qingyu to a cave.

The river bubbled out of the cave, and as far as you could see, there were steep slopes. If you take a detour, you will probably get lost and not find the upper reaches of the river, so the best way is to go through the cave and stay out of the river.

However, the opening of the cave was slanted downward, and it was pitch black inside, and the entrance was so narrow that it was difficult to feel at ease.

"Do you want to drill a hole?" Fei Tukong asked Hua Qingyu.

"It has to be. Hua Qingyu said firmly, "The river can flow out of the hole, and the exit on the other side must not be too narrow, at least allow us to drill out." ”

At this time, there was a faint whistling sound of "woo" in the cave.

"It's ...... The wind!" said Fatu.

"That's right, and it's coming from another hole. The wind passed through the mouth of the cave and the sound in the cave sounded, indicating that there was a large space in the cave, and it must be more spacious than we thought. After Hua Qingyu finished speaking, the cat's waist went into the cave.

The section that has just entered the cave is almost straight up and down. The two of them supported the cave wall on all fours and slowly climbed upward. The damp walls of the cave were slippery, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to reach a relatively flat section of the cave. It is a small pool, and when it overflows, it flows out of the cave through a vertical passage that two people climb. The pool is not deep, just up to the knee. Fei Tukong took out his weapon, touched the edge of the pool by the faint light, and climbed the rock. Look up, there is really a cave here, the wide cave top hangs down countless stone stalactites, and there are also a lot of stalagmites standing on the edge of the pool. The inside of the cave is still sloping, and the rocks that are integrated with the cave wall are stacked layer by layer, which is very magnificent. High and far away, a hole is faintly visible, presumably the exit.

"Qingyu, we ......" Fei Tukong turned back happily, but saw Hua Qingyu still standing in the pool, "What's wrong?"

"This water...... Something doesn't seem right. Hua Qingyu glanced around.

Fei Tukong immediately walked back to the edge of the pool: "What, have you found the raw material of the strange poison?"

Hua Qingyu shook her head. "This pool of water is on the heavy side. She said something strange.

Fei Tukong was naturally puzzled. Hua Qingyu immediately explained: "The pressure of this water on the skin is obviously greater than that of ordinary water, in other words, the same amount of pool water is heavier than ordinary water. It can be seen that there must be something special dissolved in the water. ”

"Really?" said Fei Tukong, suspicious, and submerged his arm into the water, not noticing anything unusual.

"I often do alchemy, water is an important material, and I can't be wrong with my feelings. Hua Qingyu was very confident, "We can't go straight to the exit, we have to look for it little by little along the waterway." ”

"If, as you say, something dissolves in the water, why didn't you notice it outside the cave?" asked Fei Tukong.

Hua Qingyu thought for a moment and replied, "When I was outside the cave, I never stood in the river like this. In addition, the water of the Huaxue River outside the cave has always been in a flowing state, and even if I stand in the river, I can't tell for sure. It's different here, the water is relatively calm and stable, that's why I'm so sure. ”

There was only one stream of water flowing into the small pool, just on the edge of the cave wall, and the two of them were bent over their waists in the water, looking carefully for it foot by foot. Near the cave wall, the two climbed onto the rocks and continued their search along the sloping waterway. Half a day has passed, and the two have climbed to a height of more than 30 zhang from the waterhole, but they still found nothing.

"I'm too tired, let's rest for a while!" said Fei Tukong, who sat down on the rock tiredly. The light in the cave was so dim that my eyes were tired. The waterway has been smooth and smooth, and no foreign objects have been found in the water.

"Hey, could the thing we're looking for be outside the cave? Fei Tukong looked up at the small bright spot in the heights.

Hua Qingyu said: "I don't know if it's inside or outside the cave, so we have to carefully inspect the cave." If the mysterious raw material is not in the cave, we can continue to search for it with peace of mind after we get out, otherwise we have to worry about whether it is or not

Not careful enough in the hole, resulting in some omissions......"

"Uhhhh

Even this sound is accompanied by other sounds. The whistling sound gradually subsided, Hua Qingyu's expression was solemn, and he made a silent gesture to Fei Tukong.

Fei Tukong stared into her eyes, only to see her point to her ears.

Listening closely, the pinna of the two of them was catching suspicious sounds other than the pleasant sound of running water.

"Huh......" and "Huh......" Sure enough, a different sound that does not belong to the sound of nature comes and goes, if there is nothing. Fei Tukong's eyes widened, and the voice was like a human panting! Could it be that there was someone else in this dark cave?

Then there was another slight "hissing" sound, and it grew louder and denser. This strange sound was definitely not the sound of footsteps, but more like the sound of something crawling!"Something is approaching here!" The thought came to both of them at the same time.

In the midst of the tension, the crawling sound stopped abruptly, and the panting sound of "whew" and "whew" became louder, as if it was on top of the rock above. "Horn click", a drop of cool water fell on Hua Qingyu's face. Fei Tukong swallowed hard, slowly raised the magic knife, and threw it into the air.

The faint light of the magic knife illuminated the top, and the scene that flashed by made the two of them creepy and terrified, and on the top of the rock, two hideous faces with disheveled hair and bared teeth were glaring at them viciously!

Hua Qingyu screamed in surprise and hurriedly wiped her face, it turned out that what was dripping on her face just now was saliva! She retreated again and again, almost tumbling into the river. Fei Tukong didn't even bother to pick up the magic knife, and retreated to the root of the cave wall, blocking in front of Hua Qingyu in shock.

The two faces on the rock were obviously not animals, but human faces! Since they were human faces, why were they as vicious as ghosts? Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, there was a muffled "bang" in front of them, and one of the two "ghosts" tumbled off the rock and slowly stood up. Immediately afterwards, another "terrible ghost" also turned down and stood aside.

The more terrifying thing was still to come, followed by the second figure, and two more "ghost" shadows tumbled down from the rock, a total of four people, standing side by side, approaching the two together.

Hua Qingyu couldn't stand it anymore, she summoned He Chongbao, Cheng Yufei and Shen Shishen from the prison world. The cave is dark, not a place for fighting. A good old ape Shen Shi Shen, when he was about to break the wave spear into the river, he picked up two huge waves, He Chongbao and Cheng Yufei respectively took Fei Tukong and Hua Qingyu respectively, stepped on the waves and rose into the air, like an arrow from the string straight to the top of the cave. When the waves were exhausted, the two of them kicked the rock again, and at the same time erected the Tenglian stick and the Siyun stick, and poked at the exit that was only the size of a person, and there was a loud "boom", and the rocks around the cave entrance were all broken and became a big hole. Suddenly, the sun shone into the cave.

Outside the cave is the top of a relatively low hill. The river flows down from the higher peaks, flows from the upper end of the cave, and flows out from the lower mouth. This section of the cave can be counted as a dark river.

Looking at the battle situation in the cave again, Shen Shishen was old and strong, pushing and sweeping horizontally with a wave-breaking spear, with one enemy and four, without fear. The four hideous "monsters" all held magic knives in their hands, and their knife skills were also rigorous, and they were disciplined, which surprised Shen Shishen. No matter why they changed from a sword demon to this terrifying appearance, at least their strength has not been lost in the slightest. Shen Shishen gradually felt timid.

Bright sunlight poured down from the mouth of the cave roof, and the four monsters seemed to be very disgusted by this, and attacked even more violently, as if they were not going to die, attacking frantically, without defense. He Chongbao and Cheng Yufei put the two down, and immediately jumped back into the cave to help Shen Shishen. After the two of them joined, Shen Shishen was much calmer. Three people fought four monsters, and the feet flew up and down layers of rocks, and the "ping pong" fight was very intense.

"Huh, strange ......" As he spoke, Shen Shishen suddenly asked a question, and the three of them exchanged a look. From this point of view, He Chongbao and Cheng Yufei also have the same weirdness as Shen Shishen.

"Qingyu, did you see their eyes just now?" asked Fei Tukong, who was relieved.

Hua Qingyu shuddered: "What, don't they have eyes?"

"No, when I threw my knife to illuminate it, I looked at one of them, and his eyes were all black, not white!" Fei Tukong said with a gesture, "They must have also been poisoned by the Heavenly Star River!"

Hua Qingyu didn't come back to her senses for a while, and muttered: "No, there should only be strange poisonous raw materials in the water of the Huaxue River and no poison, aren't the two of us also touching the water?"

"Yes, you've been standing in the water for a while!" Fei Tukong looked down, "But the appearance of those people is too similar to the villagers of Peony Collection!

"No, the entrances and exits of this cave are all narrow, even if those four people are poisoned, how can they get into the cave? Obviously, someone instructed them to enter!" Hua Qingyu exclaimed, "Remember what I said about one of the five strange places in the peony set? In the wine shop, those villagers did not chase them out because they were tired of the light, but after a while, they attacked the two of us in groups, and now that I think about it, someone must have secretly ordered the villagers!"

"Order, aren't they thoughtless walking corpses, can understand orders?"

Hua Qingyu shook her head and said faintly: "You must not have seen the evil medicine that controls people's hearts. ”

Fei Tu opened his mouth wide, "control people's hearts", how terrible

Word. "Ahh He was also there when Fei Tukong and Hua Qingyu were in the peony set, and it was easy to give orders to the villagers who had been controlled.

"Perhaps...... No way. Hua Qingyu only felt that her mind was in chaos, if her guess about the controllable mind of the strange poison was correct, then this strange poison was far more powerful than she imagined. When in the Great Red Realm, there are also evil medicines that control people's hearts, such as the chaos caused by Ye Shenrong, the sect leader of Tianyun, at the beginning, which can also take people's hearts. But the difference is that after using Chaoshen San's mind to control people's minds, the strength of the controlled person will drop to the same level as the poisoner, that is to say, the specific effect of Chaoshen San's mind is actually to make the poisoner divide part of his mind to control another body. However, the strange poison in the Heavenly Star River completely transforms the poisoned person into a slave who can only obey orders, not only does he not have to be distracted to manipulate, but the original strength of the poisoned person will not be weakened.

The strength of several demon clans in the prison world, Hua Qingyu couldn't be clearer. At this time, the four poisoned people and the three demon clan masters were evenly matched, and it seemed that before the poisoning, they were at least seven-star strength.

Hua Qingyu's heart moved, and she summoned Guan Lingyun out of the prison world. "Shoot them with arrows. "She gave the order to kill.

No matter how strong those people were, their sword skills were only performed according to the routines they had cultivated before, and they who had lost their ability to think were completely live targets in front of Guan Lingyun's divine crossbow. After a few crossbow arrows sounded, the four of them fell to the ground with arrows in their eyebrows. He Chongbao and they went to the enemy's head.

"Let's go down. Hua Qingyu didn't wait for Fei Fukong to answer, and jumped back into the cave first.

He Chongbao, Cheng Yufei and Shen Shishen were all slightly injured and out of breath. After Hua Qingyu came down, he walked straight to the four corpses and squatted down to take a closer look at something. Fei Tukong also followed curiously.

"Gray bloodstains. Hua Qingyu muttered to herself.

"What do you mean?" Fei Tu Kongzhang and the second monk were puzzled.

"It's the same as outside the Burning Heaven Palace. "Hua Qingyu said.

Shen Shishen stepped forward: "We didn't feel quite right when we fought just now, these four people didn't say a word, they were not afraid of pain and blindly attacked, just like Qu Shuoheng's group of men." After the wound, no blood flowed out, and the head was cut off, but a stream of mortar was spewed. ”

"The mortar is strange, but it doesn't get wet, but it penetrates quickly when it touches the ground. No wonder there was no bloodstain outside the Burning Heaven Palace, only a large gray trace!"

Hua Qingyu made a final summary: "In other words, Qu Shuoheng's subordinates, like these people, have all fallen for that kind of strange poison. "Before, the strange poison had already involved the Chixi Great Emperor Ji Yuqiu, how could it be related to the Danhuo Chaos Qu Shuoheng? The conspiracy behind this matter seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Hua Qingyu didn't dare to make a judgment easily!"I thought that if I found the antidote, I would be able to resolve this disaster, but now it seems that it is not possible to tell my predecessors." Hua Qingyu sighed.

"Qingyu, why these four masters appeared in an almost closed cave is worth pondering. He Chongbao reminded.

"I've guessed that they must have obeyed someone's order to look after something as important here. Hua Qingyu said as she jumped onto the rock that the four people climbed down in front of her, walked to the edge of the river, and pointed to a small stalagmite in the water, "This stalagmite has a strange yellow color under the sun, and it is pestled in the water, it must be it!"

"Oh?" Shen Shishen also jumped onto the rock, and gently poked the stalagmite with the tip of his spear, and a small piece of the shell shattered into powder, fluttering into the river water, and was invisible. "This is really not a stalagmite!" Shen Shishen exclaimed, "It seems to be a man-made 'stone', and naturally formed stones are not so fragile!"

Hua Qingyu drew his sword and slashed at the "stalagmite", as if cutting tofu, and the upper part of the two feet long was easily cut off, and was put into the storage magic weapon by Hua Qingyu. The remaining stump was shoveled out of the Huaxue River by Shen Shishen.

"Python, 'stalagmites', it turns out that the 'culprits' are these two evil things! If it was really the evil demon's doing, then it would be normal, he wanted to poison us humans with this!" Fei Tukong guessed more seriously.

Hua Qingyu disagreed: "This poison is powerful, but it is still too naïve to want to wipe out all human beings with this trick alone." Instead of poisoning a small celestial star river, it is more effective to spread the poison in a large river with a wider basin. Besides, there is no need for him to put the antidote in the lower reaches of the Tianxing River, right?"

Fei Tukong scratched his head: "That's right." And you Huajun and this group of detoxification experts! Anyone who wants to dominate with poison must first pass your level. ”

"There are three main and two branches of the Tianxing River, and we have explored the second of them. Now we have to do a test. Hua Qingyu took a handful of water from the river, put it in a depression in the rock, and then took out two things and put them into the water: one was the powder of the "stalagmite" just now, and the other was some giant python saliva taken from the Tianxing Temple. It turned out that after the death of the python, the thing she bent down to pick up was the bamboo tube that drained the snake saliva, the purpose was to use the remaining snake saliva in the tube to test in the future, which is really as delicate as silk!

Hua Qingyu took a deep breath and sprinkled the poison detection powder. After watching for a long time, the puddle of water is still clear and transparent, and the strange poison is still not successful. She sighed softly, stood up, and said helplessly to Fei Tukong, "It seems that we have to go to the Yongquan River again." ”
