The mountain where this village is located is densely forested, and if there is really a person hiding somewhere, it is difficult to find it. Because of this, the people have always only lived around their own cottages, and the firewood, farming, and weaving are not far apart, and the far can only be the river in the village.

In this way, even if the people in the mountains have lived in the mountains for generations, they can't know everything about this mountain, but now the trouble is coming - first the river turned black, and then the people of the court disappeared one after another, and finally caught an uninvited guest, but in the words, it was pointed out that there was a clue in the village, and now this uninvited guest was robbed again.

Everything is strange, the uncle took a sip of tea and sighed, and the atmosphere in the room was very solemn. The rest of the important people in the village were there, everyone sat around the round table, and the third master spoke first, saying: "Uncle, do you think that I am afraid that there has been a rebellion in my village?"

The uncle sighed: "We are the people of the village, and we should not doubt our own children, but the words of that person and the easy removal of the sword make me a little puzzled." ”

"But he has been kidnapped, maybe he is his accomplice?" said the third master.

The uncle said fairly: "This is what puzzles me, he took so much trouble to kill Xiaolu Xiaohu and frame Ah Ming, but he even got the body wrong? ”

The third master thought for a while, and just as he was about to reply, the old man said: "How can the uncle still think about outsiders? Xiaolu and Xiaohu's father and mother are already crying silently at this time, Xiaolu Xiaohu is you watching grow up, and Ah Ming." These three children are all good guys, filial to their parents, respectful to their elders, and decent, and they will never be the ones who endanger my village. ”

The third master said: "Yes, uncle, we still need to focus on the overall situation......"

Uncle said fairly: "I'm focusing on the overall situation-"

"We have searched several dense forests outside the wall, if we find the swordsman, it will not be too late for me to catch him, he is now out of saber, and we may not be able to catch him. "The third master said.

The uncle said fairly: "What is the difference between finding a person in this mountain and looking for a needle in a haystack? ”

The third master said: "Now this is the only way, Xiaolu Xiaohu's father and mother, I'll go over and take a look when I'm young." ”

The uncle nodded, and the room fell silent again.

It's just that on this side of the dense forest, Duan Gan Trick Wind and Poplar are running back and forth, and it is the poplar that left a mark along the way to rob Duan Gan Trick Wind.

The two of them performed light feats, one after the other, to the end of the dense forest, where there was an open field, and the woods were not luxuriant, but here was a river, and by the river were broken tents, and the river was the blackened Dongzhai River. The two of them landed lightly, and Duan Gan was confused and still hasn't been solved - how did he meet Baiyang here, and where Baiyang and Guo Yu went before, these can be asked clearly when they stop.

After the two of them took a breath, Duan Gan asked a question, "Brother Bai, how could you and Brother Guo leave the mountain for no reason, and why did that big rock disappear for no reason?"

Poplar looked around, and then said: "This dense forest has been set up by people, and Brother Guo and I have been tricked, and it has been scattered in the forest. "It turned out that after Duan Gan and the three of them went up the mountain, a few young men came up the mountain, and when they saw Bai Yang and Guo Yu, they immediately turned their heads and walked towards the path, "I just wanted to go up and ask, so they ran away, and said that it was none of their business while running." Brother Guo and I felt that these people were suspicious, so Brother Guo stepped forward to chase after them, and I stayed where I was, but Brother Guo did not return for a long time. Those people don't know how to work lightly, and with Brother Guo's foot strength, it won't be so difficult to catch up, so I have some worries. Poplar said.

Taking another breath, Poplar wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and continued: "I walked along the trail and found the marks left by Brother Guo, but I didn't see Brother Guo's footprints along the way, and my footprints didn't leave ...... on the trail."

Duan Gan interrupted Bai Yang's words and said, "Is Brother Bai trapped by a cloud of green mist?"

Bai Yang exclaimed: "That's true, could it be that Brother Duan also suffered?"

Duan Gan told Bai Yang what he had just encountered, and Bai Yang sighed and said, "The people in the Heavenly Dao have such a method, I don't know where that green mist came from, I think Brother Guo and Brother Li are also caught in this green mist." But it's strange to say, where does this green mist come from, and why does it come from?"

Duan Gan said treacherously: "I think it may have something to do with those pothos vines, but I don't know what kind of vines can have such an effect, causing green mist to appear in the jungle ......."

While the two were talking, a gust of wind blew, and the river rippled, and bursts of light appeared in the dark black river, presumably caused by the sunshine. Duan Gan looked up, the light and shadow reflected a shape like a cow in the river, he remembered that Xia Ming and Yan Jing had mentioned such a strange scene in their letters. Bai Yang also saw this strange scene, and after a while, the river had returned to calm, and Bai Yang said, "Could it be that the people in the Heavenly Dao are nearby?"

With that, the two of them cheered up again, but after that gust of wind, the surroundings remained unchanged as before. Poplar said: "Could it be that when the wind blows this river, it will show the shape of that strange cow?"

"That's not a strange cow, that's a cow. I've seen this kind of beast in Dragon Tiger Mountain before, but it really doesn't look like an auspicious thing at the moment. Duan Gan said treacherously.

Bai Yang said: "If it weren't for Brother Duan reminding me, I probably wouldn't think about it, but according to legend, as soon as this brother comes out of the mountain, it is a sign of peace in the prosperous world, but now this ......"

"'The black water passes through the copper, and the prosperous world changes the sky. I am afraid that this prosperous era is only a prosperous era in their eyes, and in our eyes, it must not be. Duan Gan said treacherously.

There was a sound around the conversation, although it was an open field, but the open land was surrounded by a dense fluffy grass like a person, and the grass walked a hundred or ten steps outside, it was a dense forest one after another, and only a few roads in the dense forest were specially built by the people in the village to fetch water, and this open land did not know who had lived there, and there was no obvious road leading to this place at all.

But the voice was getting closer and closer, and there was a sound of rustling, as if someone was coming this way. The two of them lowered their center of gravity and looked around - the sound only

From one place, Poplar's hand was on the hilt of his sword, his eyes fixed on the source of the sound.

A body squeezed out of the grass, and that person was Xia Ming, who had disappeared from the people of the village, and Bai Yang and Duan Gan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Xia Ming, I heard that you ......" Duan Gan was about to ask, but Xia Ming fell directly. Bai Yang immediately helped him up, and Duan Gan knew that Xia Ming's internal strength was weak, and he had no internal strength, and it seemed that his organs had been severely injured.

Duan Gan said treacherously: "Help him in first-"

The two of them helped Xia Ming into the tent, only to see that there was a medicine box for the Great Inner Elixir Division to collect medicine in the tent, and Bai Yang said: "This was originally the place where the Elixir Division collected medicine, and just now the two of us ran all the way and came to our own place." ”

There were only some straw mats in the tent, and Poplar grabbed them casually and took two large pieces to spread them, while Duan Gan Weifeng put Xia Ming on the straw mat and sat cross-legged.

"Bring the medicine box—" Duan Gan said treacherously.

Poplar handed the medicine box to Duan Gan Weifeng, Duan Gan Weifeng opened the medicine box and took out a blue paper bag, Bai Yang raised Xia Ming's hanging head, Duan Gan Weifeng opened the paper bag and blew the medicine powder into Xia Ming's mouth and nose, only to see Xia Ming choke and cough a few times before opening his eyes.

Xia Ming was still very weak at this time, that medicine was a sobering medicine in the Elixir Division, and Duan Gan naturally knew it. Xia Ming said slowly: "The two commanders...... You're coming...... It was a dangerous forest. ”

Bai Yang helped Xia Ming lie down and said, "I heard that you, Yan Jing, and Imperial Doctor Liu have disappeared in Dongzhai one after another, I think you and I have fallen into the trap of the enemy. ”

Xia Ming took a breath and said, "Two commanders, there is still some water and dry food in the tent next to you, I think you have spent a long time in this dense forest, why don't I wait to eat something first, and then talk about it in detail." ”

Poplar got up and went to get some water and food. Let's not say that the two of them have been running in the dense forest for a long time today, let's just say that the two of them have been hit by the fog, and this encounter in the dense forest also cost the two of them a little energy, and the two of them are already hungry after settling down at this moment.

The three of them ate food and drank some water before recovering some of their strength. Xia Ming was a little strange and said, "Why do I feel that the energy in my body seems to be withdrawn, and I feel that there is no internal force in my breath." Duan Gan's treacherous wind wanted to speak and stopped, Bai Yang knew a thing or two when he saw Duan Gan's treacherous demeanor, Xia Ming didn't look at the two of them at the moment, only cared about his own doubts.

Duan Gan said treacherously: "I am afraid that your internal organs have been damaged, so it is difficult to reconcile the true qi in your body at this moment, so you feel that you have no internal strength at this moment." ”

"I see, thank you Duan Gan for leading the on-demand. Xia Ming took a sip of water and said.

Bai Yang asked, "What did the three of you encounter in this village, why did you disappear in this village, and who were you injured?"

Xia Ming sighed and said, "This dense forest is very strange, I haven't met anyone at all, and no one has attacked me. ”

Duan Gan and Bai Yang were both taken aback at this moment, especially Duan Gan and Wei Feng - when he had just taken the pulse, he knew that Xia Ming and Xia Ming's internal organs were injured, but if no one did it, how could Xia Ming be injured?

Heavy blows will be like this, but how can they not meet people?

Xia Ming said: "After the flying pigeon passed the book and the big one, Yan Jing and I went to the river to investigate, since the strange cow appeared in the water, I felt that there were people in the mountains who were afraid of heaven, so I did not follow the road of the people of the village to the waterside to investigate, and wanted to find out if there were clues to the water next to the dense forest." Xia Ming coughed lightly twice, and then continued: "This river has a great origin——"

"What's so wonderful about this river?" asked Poplar.

Xia Ming's voice was a little hoarse, thinking that the injuries to his organs were very serious, Xia Ming took a sip of water, took a breath, and said, "There are probably two sources of this water." ”

Bai Yang and Duan Gan were both taken aback, and Duan Gan said in a strange way: "There is only one source of the river, if there are two places of origin, wouldn't it be contrary to the principle of the operation of the river?"

Xia Ming said: "Now the river is not only black, and it is a pool of stagnant water, Yan Jing and I observed the flow of the river here, the river has not changed at all in the past few days, but the wind blew that day after the appearance of a strange cow, I carefully recalled the wind blowing that day, the wind only blew for one side, but the water waves are two rippling. ”

Bai Yang fell into thought, and then Duan Gan immediately made a gesture, signaling the two of them not to make a sound. It was dusk between the three of them, and it was night. The grass outside the tent moved, and a snake crawled outside the tent. It is said to be a snake, but I have never seen such a large snake, and it seems that the silver scales of the whole body are disconnected from the body. The serpent was outside the tent, and then there were more swordsmen in the grass.

The serpents were still walking close to the ground, and the swordsmen were gradually surrounding the tents. There was no movement in the tent at the moment, and a swordsman opened the curtain of the tent with his knife, and a quick sword was slashed—

All the swordsmen took three steps back, and the man who lifted the curtain had fallen. Bai Yang, Duan Gan Weifeng, and Xia Ming have walked out of the tent. The silver serpent coiled itself and curled up in a ball.

Duan Gan said treacherously: "It seems that the silver snake armor of the Heavenly Dao is here?" As soon as the words fell, the silver snake immediately got up, and under the scale shell was a short and thin man, wearing a set of bright silver armor in front of him, and the scale shell retracted back after getting up. The man's face was pale, and he only had a hairstyle that looked like the moon dynasty on his head.

The man spoke: "It is worthy of being the commander of the Great Interior, this sword move is really fast, but at this moment you are deeply encircled, and that person has no internal strength, and he has no saber, how can you be my opponent?"

"I didn't expect that Your Excellency came from Dongying with all the hardships you had, and you only wanted to harm the people of my Middle Earth. Duan Gan said treacherously.

"It seems that I am not fluent in the Central Plains, otherwise you would not have recognized me as from the East. The man said.

Xia Ming said: "You are smart, your makeup and hair are similar to those of my Middle-earth Tang Dynasty, so why hide it." Oriental worm, today you have been playing tricks on my brother Ouchi in this dense forest for a long time, and now that you have finally appeared, are you sure of victory?"

"Hahahaha...... If I say that I didn't do any of the tricks of setting up a maze in the jungle today, I wouldn't believe it. The man said.

Duan Gan said treacherously: "Even if it wasn't done by you, it was done by people in the Heavenly Dao." you

Now that you have come to arrest me and others, how much difference do you have?"

"Okay, let's not go around in circles. You Middle Earth say that peace is precious, and you also say that those who know the times are handsome. Today, you are already a prisoner of my ranks, if you don't fight to the death with me and surrender to me, I will report to the Heavenly Dao Sect Master, and Bao Er and the others will have no worries about their lives......" The man said.

Poplar interrupted the man's words and said, "But I am the most upright and the most shameful. You say that we value peace, but we only make peace with those who are good, modest, and upright, and do not want to make peace with us to those who vainly try to encroach on our Middle Earth. ”

The knives of the swordsmen were ready to move, and the man said, "In that case, then it is offended—"

After that, the knife killed the three of them, and Duan Gan was eager to grab the knife of the swordsman in it, but he didn't know that the person flashed very fast, and Duan Gan swooped into the air. The swordsman in front of him was a little peculiar, and the sword of the poplar did not reach anyone several times, and Xia Ming retreated to the tent. Duan Gan and Bai Yang were also forced out of the tent by the knives of those swordsmen. Bai Yang parried the attack of three or four swordsmen, and shook them out with a very strong internal force, and the two Duan Gan Wei Feng had no weapons at the moment and could not hit those swordsmen with his fists at close range.

Those swordsmen continued to press, Bai Yang held his sword and used a sword flower, and the phantoms of those swordsmen could not distinguish the real from the fake for a while, Duan Gan Weifeng watched from the sidelines, trying to see the flaws of those swordsmen. But at this time, the man turned into a silver snake and fell to Duan Gan, and Duan Gan struck the snake's head with a palm, shaking the silver snake two feet away.

Shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first, Duan Gan treacherous wind has already found out the man's internal strength under him with one palm, and he wants to be sure to win him, so he immediately raised his palm and fought with the man. The man's martial arts are all in the form of a python, rolling and attacking, all of which are close to the ground. Duan Gan's treacherous fist hit the back of the silver snake several times, but the iron armor was extremely hard, and although Duan Gan's treacherous skills were deep, it still didn't hurt the man in the slightest. When the man took advantage of Duan Gan's trick to perform light skills and roll upward, a sweep knocked Duan Gan's trick over, and on the other side, Poplar was forced out of the tent by those swordsmen, although Poplar's sword was good, but it only hurt those swordsmen.

Poplar's arm was bleeding, and his fists were hard to beat with four hands, and those swordsmen's knife skills were not shrewd, but it was that strange body technique, which Poplar couldn't crack for a while. The injured hand is his sword-wielding hand, and his right-hand sword is only equal to Long Xiangtian and Guo Yu in this big interior, and even Duan Gan's treacherous wind is a little inferior compared to the sword, but now that the sword-wielding hand is injured, I think the power of his sword will be reduced a lot.

Duan Gan Trick got up and fought with the man again, the blades of those swordsmen were all aimed at Poplar, it was another melee, Poplar changed to a sword in his left hand, which sword power did not fall down, but it still couldn't break the knife skills of the swordsmen, Duan Gan Trick Wind slapped the snake head, who knew that a slip turned the entire snake body and actually entangled Duan Gan Trick Wind, fortunately, Duan Gan Trick Wind moved quickly, directly slid out of the snake body, kicked out from behind the snake tail, and "bang" Duan Gang Trick Wind rolled back into the air. The snake took advantage of the treacherous wind before it landed, and continued to move forward close to the ground, going to attack and be surrounded by the swordsmen

The poplar who lived, the poplar retreated and dodged, and a sword slashed at the snake's back, and the snake's back did not crack at all.

The poplar fell outside the tent again, and at this time, Xia Ming rushed out and threw a few small balls from his hand, only to see the ball fall to the ground and smoke, and for a moment everyone fell into the white smoke, the man felt that something was wrong, and immediately shouted a word, and the swordsmen all withdrew from the grass.

The smoke cleared, and there was no one inside or outside the tent.

Today's moonlight is very poor, and only a few of the houses in the village are lit at this moment, but only two are still a little loud, which are Xiaohu and Xiaolu. The doors of the two families are open, and the two families have been mourning for the past few days, and only then did the two families invite the singer to sing the funeral song - the attitude of the uncle made the two families a little unhappy, although the uncle and others did not say anything when they came, only comforted the family members and said the words on the face, but some people and the two families have said this. There are many things in this world that are difficult to hide.

It was only said that the three of them ran to the gate of the village, because Xia Ming knew the way to the village, and they walked along the river for a while to the back gate of the village. When the three of them arrived at the back door of the village and were about to enter the village, Duan Gan remembered the words of the uncle in the daytime, and asked Xia Mingdao: "Listen to what the old man of the village said, you and Yan Jing were transferred out of the village by the order of the big inside?"

Xia Ming was puzzled: "I told the old man of the village, I went to investigate the river with Yan Jing, and after a few days of investigation, I stayed there to prepare for entering the dense forest. ”

"If that's the case, it's really not peaceful in this village—" Duan Gan said treacherously.
