The three of them buried Hao Rou and discussed countermeasures in the rice shop. Xie Jie said: "The five evil kings of the Wicked Gang are all here, and we are not their opponents now. In my opinion, it is better to find Kang Zhong as soon as possible, and then everyone took the rest of the map and fled to Beiling early, and one day summon Qi Hu Jing, Sun Yue, Li Hao and others to the same door, and we will come back to seek revenge. Zhang Leicheng said: "Senior Brother Kang Zhong has not heard from him for many years, how easy is it to find him? I am worried about more than that, the Wicked Gang has now found three maps, and they can roughly piece together the location of the secret treasure, even if there is no last map, I am afraid that they can also find the secret book." Wang Xue's heart sank, and she thought secretly: "Senior Brother Zhang is reasonable, but I didn't expect this, his family has a big business, he is the richest man in Beiling, and he has not lived in vain in the past few years." ”

Zhang Leicheng turned his head and asked, "Senior Sister Wang, what do you think?" Wang Xue said: "It's not a high opinion, but I promised Hao Rou to save more innocent people, and now I want to flee with the last map, isn't this treachery, I can't do it." Xie Jie said: "If we don't flee as soon as possible, and wait for the wicked people to practice their magic skills, not only will the people of Beiling be in trouble, but it will be too late for us to escape." Wang Xue shook her head and said: "When the wicked gang practices their magic skills, the first person to chase and kill is us, and we can't hide to the ends of the earth, and it doesn't make much difference whether we escape or not." Zhang Leicheng said: "I think we should find Kang Zhong first, and then discuss it slowly." If the Wicked Gang lacks a map, they may not be able to find the secret. Besides, the secret book and the treasure are just passed down from old age to old age, and no one has ever seen it, and the martial arts on the secret book may not really have any great moves. Wang Xue and Xie Jie glanced at each other, and the two said in unison: "Reasonable." Zhang Leicheng said: "Early tomorrow morning, we will look for Kangzhong in three ways, whether we find it or not, we will go back to the rice shop in the evening to discuss." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Leicheng went west and traveled along the West River, Xie Jie went east to the east to look for the fruit groves, and Wang Xue went north to look for it on the North Mountain. The three of them expected that the place where Kang Zhong lived must be extremely remote and secret, and the place they were looking for was also a barren mountain and wilderness that few people traveled.

Among the three, only Wang Xue has never seen Kang Zhong, she heard Zhang Lei Cheng say, Kang Zhong is a hot-blooded and bold man in his thirties, similar in appearance to Li Hao, if you see an open-minded young man with martial arts, then this person is probably Kang Zhong.

Wang Xue climbed to the mountainside, and turned half the mountain in one breath, not to mention Kangzhong, even the woodcutter did not see one. She has lived on Bozi Mountain for a long time, and she has long been accustomed to the mountain road, no matter how steep and steep the mountain is, she is not afraid of it, and now she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned several mountain roads in a row, but still no one was seen. When the sun sets, it becomes quite dangerous to find people in the mountains, so I have to go back to the rice shop first.

Zhang Leicheng and Xie Jie had already returned, and the two of them looked tired and sat in the hall without saying a word. Zhang Leicheng saw Wang Xue entering the door dejectedly, and knew that she had never found Kang Zhong, so he didn't ask for details at the moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Xie Jie got up and shouted, "How is it, have you found Kang Zhong?" Wang Xue shook his head and said, "I didn't find it." Xie Jie sighed lightly and said, "You don't know Kang Zhong's appearance, even if you see him, you won't recognize him." Wang Xue smiled bitterly: "There is not even a single figure on the mountain, how can there be any reason to recognize it? Tomorrow I will look for it again, as soon as I enter the mountain, I will call his name loudly, if he does not come out, then I will go to the deeper mountains to find it." ”

The three of them were tired from a long day's work, so they went back to their rooms early to sleep.

The next morning, Wang Xue had breakfast and went out to the north into the mountains. She went up the mountain from the north road yesterday, and this time she made a half-circle at the bottom of the mountain and went up the west road instead. When I got to the top of the mountain, I thought, "With my internal strength, standing on the top of this mountain, luck shouts loudly, if there is no one in the mountain, it will be fine, if there is someone, they will be able to hear me." I took a deep breath and was about to shout loudly, when I saw a huge stone forest not far from the slope of the hill on the left, several figures were running back and forth between several boulders, I don't know what to do, take a closer look, it turned out to be more than ten people cutting trees and building sheds. Wang Xue was surprised, and said secretly: "What kind of person has nothing to do when he is full, hires so many laborers, and makes a home in such a remote place?" She ran in the mountains for two days, never saw a person, at this moment suddenly saw someone, her heart immediately ignited hope, walked to the stone forest, was about to open her mouth to ask a person, suddenly saw a big stone not far away standing on a cunning-eyed, angry middle-aged man, the man's white robe fluttering, shouting and scolding at the husbands, who is not a spirit evil?

Wang Xue was not shocked, hurriedly hid behind a rock, quietly poked her head out, and saw that the spirit evil was screaming and scolding, urging the husbands to work, as if she didn't see herself, and her heart was a little wider. Seeing that one by one Lifu was naked and sweating profusely, it was obvious that he was extremely tired, although he heard the evil repeated insults, but he did not dare to return the mouth, and even frowned, and no one wrinkled, thinking that the evil spirit was generous, and when he hired these people, each of them gave a lot of silver. Wang Xue couldn't help but be puzzled, and thought to herself: "The Wicked Gang only needs a map to get the treasure and the secret book at the moment, they must be in a hurry at this moment, why don't the evil people go to find my Senior Brother Kang, but come here to be busy?" After looking at it for a while, he suddenly thought again: "Yes, although the Wicked Gang only got three of the maps, they can roughly know the location of the treasure when they put it together, and they learned that the treasure secret is hidden in this mountain, so they divided into two ways, and they went to find Kang Zhong with madness, and the evil spirit came here with labor to set up camp in order to find it slowly in the future." Hmph, Senior Brother Zhang expected it to be good that day. ”

After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps under the mountain, as if someone was approaching, Wang Xue heard the sound and knew that the martial arts of the person who came were not weak, so he hurriedly withdrew from the stone forest and lay on the grass. It was early spring, and the weeds in the mountains were very thick, and she was so thin that she lay on the grass and would not be easily noticed.

I only heard the evil voice in the stone forest shouting: "How is it, have you found the one surnamed Kang?" The man scolded: "Kang Zhong, this little bastard, when Lao Tzu finds him, he must be broken into thousands of pieces." Wang Xue listened to the man's hoarse and arrogant voice, which was undoubtedly mad. Then I heard the spirit evil say: "I think it's better not to look for him again, with those three maps, the place where the treasure is known is here, and it is not much fun to look for him again, you might as well follow me to the mountains to search for more, than to look for the one surnamed Kang." Madness said angrily: "Kang Zhong, this bastard boy, has caused me to walk around the streets and alleys for several days, and I don't care if I don't care about any map or not, I have to find him and chop him into pulp!" Spirit Evil laughed and said, "You are this donkey temper that can't be changed!" Madness said: "I am a donkey temper, so what?" Spirit Evil laughed: "People with bad temperament can't achieve great things, when have you ever seen a donkey wearing a yellow robe and sitting on a dragon chair? Madness shouted: "Who are you scolding for being a donkey?" Ling smiled evilly: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't you be able to lose my words even if I am a brother? Madness said: "And that girl of the Wang family, and that, Wang Liqiang's subordinates, I want them all to die in front of me." The spirit smiled evilly, "Okay, okay, this is up to you." Madness shouted: "And the daisy and Chunxiang of Lihong Garden, last time I was in a hurry to find Zhou Yuan, I didn't spend more money on them, and they were blinded several times, and this time the general trend has been decided, I will ask these two girls to take turns to serve me." Haha, haha. ”

Wang Xue lay in the long grass, her body was close to the ground, and she didn't dare to breathe in the tense atmosphere, and then she heard a frenzied yelling and shouting about his affairs in the past few days, which sounded disgusting and disgusting, but she couldn't help but listen to the words. It wasn't until dusk that the two evil spirits were sent back to the Sons and found a place to rest and sleep. Wang Xue still didn't dare to get up and walk around at will, and slowly crawled backwards against the grass, and only after climbing a certain distance did she quietly get up and walk down the mountain.

It was late at night, Zhang Leicheng and Xie Jie had already returned, and the two were sitting in the hall, seeing that Wang Xue had not returned for a long time, they were only anxious. When Wang Xue entered the door, Zhang Leicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, your little girl is finally back." What happened, let's hear it, why did the clothes get so dirty?" Wang Xue said: "I have been lying on the mud for most of the day, and it is strange that the clothes are not dirty. Senior Brother Zhang, what you expected that day was right, the Wicked Gang had roughly figured out the location of the treasure with three maps. So he told about the North Mountain during the day, but omitted to mention the cloud and rain that Yu Madness talked about, and finally said: "The earth is evil and the evil is flashing, and they are estimated to go to the North Mountain tomorrow to hunt for treasures." Tomorrow morning, I will go to Beishan, if I can kill one or two of them, they will not be able to run rampant, even if it is only a fight to defeat both sides, and it will be of great benefit to us to delay their treasure hunt. You...... You guys...... You, do you have any girls' clothes at home Senior Brother Zhang, please find one for me to change. ”

She wanted to say that you should go with you, but Zhang Xie and the others were his senior brothers, and she had no right to ask the two of them to act, not to mention that this matter was very dangerous, although she had asked for the two senior brothers, she couldn't open her mouth after all. Xie Jie said: "Things have come to this point, it is really nine deaths and one life. Tomorrow we will go with you, if we can get rid of these little wicked people, it will be great, if we are defeated at their hands, everyone will die together, otherwise when they find the treasure and practice the gods, they will inevitably die. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhang Leicheng and listened to his opinion. Zhang Leicheng said: "The kung fu of the five evil kings is above the three of us, and the evil world is like a dragon seeing the head and not seeing the tail, I don't know where we are, we boldly go to fight, it is really to hit the stone with an egg, but if you don't go, it will be like a lamb to be slaughtered, I will not accept it if I die, and the three of us will go together tomorrow." Senior Sister Wang, I have everything in this rice shop, but I don't have any clothes for girls, I will send a guy to buy it early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely buy a good one for you. Wang Xue said: "That's not necessary, I can wear this one on my body." ”

Suddenly, a woman's voice outside the door said, "I have the girl's clothes here, you wear mine first." Everyone was stunned, and looked out of the door, only to see a woman in gray in her thirties striding in, but it turned out to be Zhou Yuan. Wang Xue was overjoyed and shouted, "Senior Sister Zhou Yuan." Zhou Yuan was radiant, his face was radiant, and he said with a smile: "You suddenly appeared that day, saved me under the hands of madness, and later called out my name, I suspected that you had something to do with the map, and then I investigated in many ways and finally found this place." You little girl, you're so naughty. Wang Xue said: "Things were too urgent that day, I was busy tracking down the madness and retrieving the map, so I didn't have time to explain to you, I was rude that day, senior sister, don't blame me." Senior Brother Liu used to say to me that Zhou Yuan was a good woman who was generous and approachable, and I think you have been so praised by Senior Brother Liu, I don't think you will bother with me about this little thing. Her last sentence was a joke casually after being happy, Liu Yue had never seen Zhou Yuan in front of her, and she only knew that there was Zhou Yuan under Haba's door after she arrived in Beiling. Zhou Yuan listened, but his eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that you are Senior Brother Liu's disciple." Alas, Senior Brother Liu values me so much, but I have not practiced martial arts in recent years, and his teachings have been in vain. ”

Wang Xue couldn't imagine that mentioning Liu Yuelai would make Zhou Yuan so sad, and secretly regretted it in her heart: "I knew that she missed Senior Brother Liu so much, I really shouldn't have said this joke." Zhou Yuan sighed twice in succession, took out a burden from his arms, and said, "There are two girls' clothes here, you can take them and change them." I've only worn this dress once, and you're about the same size as me, so it should fit. Wang Xue saw that a faded gray robe on Zhou Yuan's body was worn and old, and thought: "Senior Sister Zhou's life is hard, and she is reluctant to wear these two clothes herself, but she is willing to give them to me." Just looked at Zhou Yuan and didn't reach out to pick it up.

Xie Jie shouted to Wang Xue loudly: "Since the clothes are given to you, you can quickly take them and change them, and tomorrow, we will all be buried on the North Mountain, when you will wear more handsome, and your death will not be too ugly." Ha, you're dying, and you still care about this little bit of outside your body. Wang Xue Zhou Yuanyuan also thought of this section, but no one could bear to speak, Xie Jie was open-minded by nature, so he said it. Zhang Leicheng said: "This is not right, as the saying goes, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road, if you meet the enemy with the heart of death, then the end is just a death, if you have the heart of hoeing the strong and helping the weak, saving the common people to face the battle, that is the behavior of the husband." Besides, it is not certain who will win and who will lose tomorrow, you must know that we have won the Gang of Wicked once in the past, and now we will be able to win the second time. When Zhou Yuan heard this, his spirits lifted and he said, "Senior Brother Zhang's words are really enlightening. Tomorrow, even if we go to use force, we don't care if he dies or lives. Even if he dies, it will not be in vain to go through this experience in the world. Xie Jie laughed and said: "You are so free and easy, but I am stubborn, let's go and fight with the wicked gang that is fun, but it's a pity that Senior Brother Liu is not here, and I can't see us clean up the wicked with my own eyes, but it's always a pity to think about it." ”

Wang Xue suddenly thought of something, took out the four tokens from his arms, and said: "You can take these four blades and use them, and with them in your hand, you will be like Senior Brother Liu by your side." The three of them were overjoyed at first sight. Zhang Leicheng said with a smile: "Senior Brother Liu really likes your tightness, and even gave you such a precious ornament." He took a token. Xie Jie and Zhou Yuan also took one each. Wang Xue smiled: "I really feel like a little heroine now, in front of us, the wicked can't be arrogant." ”

In the afternoon, the spirit evil and others drove all the lifu and then set up a camp. "Look at the current situation," said the Devil, "it will be completed tonight, and we can spend the night on this mountain tonight." These Liba are also fast. Flash evil said: "Of course, if the work is not fast, the spirit evil brothers have already killed them with a dart, not to mention that the price we offer is not low, two Liba work for a day, you can get a penny of silver, such a high price, anyone has to work hard." He exclaimed: "Two people need a penny of silver a day to do it? Beiling is a remote place, and an ordinary person can't earn this money in a month." The evil spirit laughed and said loudly: "I only temporarily store these silver on them, and when they are done with their work, I will kill them, and then the silver sent will not be lost and recovered? He laughed again.

Zhong Lifu listened to the loud shouts of the madness and others, and scolded him in his heart, but he thought that it could be completed today, and he didn't have to suffer from this nest anymore, not to mention that the increase he prescribed was really not low, and it didn't hurt to be patient at the moment.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows in madness, and said sharply, "What are you doing!" Flying up to a Lifu, he raised his hand and knocked that Lifu down. Everyone was startled, and they turned their heads to see that Na Lifu had gray hair, and was sixty years old, and the stones in the bamboo basket on his back fell to the ground with a bang, and they were all small gravel the size of a fist.

It turned out that Na Lifu was old, and he had been working hard for several days, and he was tired and tired, and he couldn't stand it at the moment, and he didn't have any strength on his body, but the spirit was urging him tightly, and he couldn't stop working, so he wanted to mix in the crowd and do perfunctory things, and only picked up a little small stone and small clod of soil at a time to carry it. With the evil eye, he had already seen this old Lifu, but when he hired the worker, he had murderous thoughts in his heart, and he didn't really plan to give money, and he only turned a blind eye to this old Lifu. Crazy but stubborn personality, and a fiery temper, when I saw it, I was furious, and I couldn't help but make a move.

The spirit evil sneered: "None of them can live today, and he is lazy at this moment, so why do you need to use force?" Madness scolded: "Such a lazy and despicable villain, I will get angry when I look at it!" Spirit evil laughed: "Just take money to eat, but you don't want to work hard, there is not much difference between killing half a day in the morning and killing half a day in the evening, since you are angry with your mad brother, then kill it." With that, he shot a ghost-headed dart through the throat of the old Lifu. With a sigh, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body curled up and froze.

Zhong Lifu was shocked, and at this moment, he knew that the completion of the murder that the spirit evil said was not a lie. This time, everyone's faces were bloodless, and they all stopped and didn't dare to work. The spirit evil snorted a few times and said, "After you finish your work, you will be killed by me, so you don't dare to work, can you? I can add money, I will pay one tael for one person, ah no, ten taels, I will pay ten taels of gold for one person, how about it, a lot of money? You can continue to work." "Zhong Lifu, look at me, I look at you, they all know that the spirit evil is casual nonsense, he said that he gave ten taels of gold, in fact, he will not give a penny, if he can survive today is a great luck, where do you dare to have the idea of making money? Madly scolded: "You brutes, hurry up and work! We have paid so much money, you are so lazy, you deserve to be unlucky when you die!" Zhong Lifu knew that the money they gave was fake, and the killing was real, but no one dared to say it, and saw the magic and evil tricks of throwing darts, the martial arts were really powerful, and the martial arts of the remaining four people were not weak. Some of the people bowed their heads, not daring to look at each other with the evil spirits, and some turned their heads to look at their companions and ask for his advice. Madness and scolding: "Hurry up and work! Our price is so high, you don't work or answer, why are you standing here stupidly? Don't you want to be killed by a dart like that old man?" Some Lifu thought to himself, "That old man is too lazy to work and lost his life, I work honestly, maybe they will spare my life?" and wanted to walk around and continue to work.

Suddenly, one of the people in the house said loudly: "Several adults, the younger ones have to support their families, and they have always taken the money first and then worked. If the adults want the small ones to finish it as soon as possible, they have to pay the little ones ten taels of gold per person. ”
