Chapter 19: The Evil Guest Comes
Deacon Gu held a red ribbon with the insignia of the fish dragon in both hands and handed it to Luo Xiao, and his eyes showed appreciation: "You are very good, work hard, and strive to reach the top of the tower within two or three years." ”
Luo Xiao bowed down to take it, his eyes were slightly excited, red belt! A month ago, he never dreamed that he could be promoted to red belt so quickly. As a senior disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, he knew very well that only by wearing a red belt could he truly embark on the path of a martial artist. In other words, from this moment on, he can be regarded as a real martial artist.
Qin Qianqiu's voice sounded in his ears: "Luo Xiao, do you want to continue to challenge the fifth layer?"
Luo Xiao was stunned, raised his head and touched Qin Qianqiu's smiling expression, his heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The disciple's strength is insufficient, and he only has one kind of martial art, which is far from reaching the standard of black belt. Well, borrowing the auspicious words of the ancient deacon, strive to reach the top within two or three years. ”
Qin Qianqiu stroked his beard and smiled: "Two or three years? Hehe, maybe it won't take that long...... Luo Xiao, this supervisor is very optimistic about you. ”
Luo Xiao was secretly shocked in his heart, his realm had actually reached the peak of the quenching period, the vitality of the power, the core of the yuan species, and half a foot into the warrior realm, which required the martial arts stage to have a saying, called "consummation". However, the transformation of Yuan Qi into Yuan Li is a long process of extracting cocoons and stripping silks, which can take months at least and years at most. When the Yuan Power of the entire Yuan Species is extracted and entangled into a nucleus, it is the time when the warrior officially steps into the samurai!
With the surging majesty of Luo Xiaoyuan's qi, no matter how much you hide and suppress it, it will more or less leak out a little breath, and Lord Jianzheng shouldn't see something, right?
......
Coming out of the Shenglong Tower, Luo Xiao put the red ribbon into his arms, and he still had a yellow belt around his waist. Looking up at the fifth floor, the highest of the Thang Long Tower, it was already the second time he had been in and out of the Thang Long Tower in a month, and he knew in his heart that he would not come here again for a long time to come. Such a high-profile thing as a triple jump is not suitable for him to happen, otherwise it will be a blessing in disguise.
When Luo Xiao walked out of the mountain gate of Xiuwutang and went straight to Yishui City, a strong man suddenly flashed out of the woods next to the road, with unkempt hair, a face full of meat, wearing single clothes, with an open chest and open arms, and a wide sheathed ghost head knife behind his back, with a fierce momentum.
The strong man stopped Luo Xiao and said with a big grin: "Hey, it's a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, right? ”
Luo Xiao stopped, he felt a dangerous aura from this strong man, and he was vigilant, and said, "What's the matter?"
The strong man picked his nostrils with his fingers thick with radish, and said in a rough voice: "A month ago, your Xiuwutang set up an observation post in Longyuan Mountain, and sent a total of three disciples on duty, which three disciples are they?"
Luo Xiao's heart was shocked, his expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head: "I'm just a disciple of the hall, it's impossible to know the specific task candidates, you have found the wrong person." ”
"I know that. The strong man said impatiently, "Let me ask you, do you want to make a fortune?"
Luo Xiao refused without hesitation: "I don't want to!"
The strong man was angry, glared, and scolded: "You kid ......"
Luo Xiao nodded backwards with his thumb to the mountain gate, and said lightly: "This is still in front of the gate of the Martial Arts Hall, do you want to humiliate the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall?"
The strong man was stunned and didn't dare to say more.
Luo Xiao walked past the strong man, and heard the strong man scolding behind him: "You can make money by asking for some news, such a good thing is pushed out, it's really brainless, no wonder you are so poor that you wear patched clothes......"
Luo Xiao turned a deaf ear and walked away quickly. In fact, he is definitely the richest among the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall now, and the reason why he is still wearing patched clothes is just because he is cautious, he doesn't want anything on his body that can be reminiscent of the encounter in Longyuan Mountain.
The strong man took a sip on the ground and said stupidly: "A mere yellow belt disciple, what do you have to do, wait for three or five years when you go out of the martial arts hall to go to the rivers and lakes, and grandpa 'fighting tiger knife' Peng Dabiao will teach you how to be a person!"
As soon as Peng Dabiao turned his head, he was suddenly startled by a man in black wearing a hat who suddenly appeared behind him, holding the handle of the knife in his big furry hand, glaring at the bull's eye and saying, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The man in black said in a hoarse voice: "This Brother Peng, I have the news you want, it depends on whether you have the courage to ......."
......
When Luo Xiao walked through the city, it was almost dusk, and the city gate was almost closed, and when he approached the city gate, Luo Xiao saw an unusual scene.
A group of ragged, bloodstained warriors hurried into the city in carts pushing several seriously wounded people who were clearly dressed as warriors.
The gate guard muttered, "How many waves of wounded are you today?"
Another guard said, "At least four or five waves." ”
A middle-aged man who looked like a martial artist next to him sneered: "These foreign martial artists also deserve it, what kind of place is Longyuan Mountain? Is it so easy to enter? The spirit beasts in there are so powerful, even strong people like the City Guard and the Supervisor of the Martial Arts Hall dare not set foot easily." If it is really beneficial, so many warriors in our city have already taken it, when will it be the turn of a group of rangers and wild warriors to go in and reap the benefits!"
Another humanitarian: "Brother Wang is right, I also saw the fire meteor falling that day, but unfortunately it was late at that time, and when I went the next day, I couldn't enter at all." How long has it been since this happened, and these foreign warriors still want to go into the mountains to reap benefits, and if they don't give their lives away, their ancestors will burn high incense, and they are really easy to provoke when they are spirit beasts?"
The middle-aged martial artist surnamed Wang suddenly whispered: "I heard that the beasts were scared away under the earth-shattering earthquake that day, and some of the people who monitored the Three Cities Martial Arts Hall in Longyuan Mountain still entered......
The man said disdainfully: "It's useless! I know one of the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, and he said that it was steaming hot, a piece of scorched earth and flesh, and there was no hair on it. ”
"But I heard that there was a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall who had already gone in before......"
At this time, one of the group of foreign martial artists stepped forward and arched his hand: "This brother is invited, can you take a step to speak, how about Qixiangju?"
The middle-aged warriors surnamed Wang glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Qixiangju? Drunken Immortal Building is about the same." ”
"Okay, just Drunken Immortal Building, please. ”
Luo Xiao walked out of the city gate with an expressionless face, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart, and it seemed that he had to ask the prison to receive an outing mission for him from Yingyang Hall as soon as possible. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this Yishui City is a dangerous wall for him right now!
Back at Balitun, all the way to the front of his own courtyard in Tunwei, Luo Xiao just stretched out his hand and pressed on the door, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he turned around and left.
Before he could take a few steps, the door slammed open, and a thin black man in his thirties suddenly appeared, shouting: "Wait!"
Luo Xiao froze, took a deep breath, and turned around slowly.
The thin black man looked at him coldly, and suddenly said, "Your name is Luo Xiao, disciple of the Martial Arts Hall!"
Luo Xiao was shocked, although he didn't know who leaked the news, but he also knew that it was useless to deny it, so he said calmly: "I'm Luo Xiao, who are you?"
The thin black man sneered on his face: "Sure enough, it's you." Why, have you forgotten where your door is opening?"
Luo Xiao said coldly: "I haven't forgotten, but your brother has forgotten." ”
The black and thin man quacked and laughed weirdly: "The master is running the rivers and lakes, eating knife rice, sleeping in nail beds, and there are nests everywhere, as for the door, there is really nothing." ”
Between speaking, Luo Xiao had already judged from the other party's long breathing that this black and thin man was only equivalent to the fifth order of a martial artist, and if he wanted to leave, the other party couldn't stop him at all, so his tone of voice became more and more relaxed.
However, the next moment, a rough voice came from the house: "Who are you talking to, leopard?
The courtyard door was opened, and behind the black and thin man, there was a black man with five big and three thick, with a fierce appearance, a blue-black birthmark the size of a copper coin on the left side of his face, and a handful of hair on it, wearing a short coat, revealing the chest hair of black stubble, and the whole person was like a human bear at the door, the momentum was terrifying, and it was much more dangerous than the black and thin man at first glance.
Luo Xiao's heart sank, it's bad, it's a wild warrior!
A gust of wind blew from his side, and the thin black man nicknamed "Mountain Leopard" had jumped behind Luo Xiao and cut off his retreat. And in front of him, there is the guy who sneered with his arms crossed.
Luo Xiao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said, "Let go, don't get in the way of people's doors." ”
The man-bear blinked his little eyes a few times, obviously a little stunned by the young man's composure, and instinctively turned sideways.
The leopard's eyes flashed coldly, and he walked into the courtyard quickly, looked left and right at no one, and slammed the firewood door tightly.
When night fell, the house was lit by candlelight, and Luo Xiao was sitting on a bench, opposite to a man and bear sitting with a big Malaysian golden knife, and a leopard with one foot on the stool and a snake-shaped dagger in his hand. The short blade swam between the palms and wrists of the mountain leopard like a spiritual snake, and the blades flickered in the light, exuding a chilling aura.
Luo Xiao arched his hand: "What do you call the two bosses?"
The corner of the leopard's eyes hanged: "Yo ho, the bottom of our brothers?"
Luo Xiao said lightly: "There must be a name, right? Could it be that I call this old man a big bear and call you a monkey?"
The leopard's eyes were hard: "Look for death!"
The serpentine dagger suddenly took off his hand, and the knife flashed, flying towards the side of Luo Xiao's face.
Luo Xiao was already on guard when he spoke, and he turned his head sideways in time to dodge. But the distance between the two sides is too close, and this leopard is a good hand at throwing knives, although his face is not injured, but his earlobe is scratched. If it is an ordinary red belt disciple, I am afraid that a piece of ear meat will have to be cut off. However, Luo Xiao's body is so tough at this time, he can't even break through the spear, what can a mere blade do to him?
The mountain leopard sighed, he didn't expect a mere yellow-belted disciple to be able to flash his fast knife at such a close distance.
Da Xiong said coldly: "Boy, your little life is in the hands of our brothers, I advise you not to take advantage of your tongue in vain, for the sake of greed, it would be too stupid to give away your little life." ”
Luo Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and said, "This boss is right. If you want me to say, the two of you should be simple, directly explain your identity, explain your intentions, you can help me, if you can't help, don't you say otherwise, wouldn't it be good to talk less about yin and yang?"
"I'm ......" The leopard had just pulled out the serpentine dagger inserted into the window frame, and was walking back, when he heard Luo Xiao's words, his face turned grim, and he was about to move.
Big Bear raised his hand to stop: "This little brother is very good." Over the mountain leopard, you also sit down, less tossing. ”
The leopard stared at Luo Xiao's back, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, he glanced at the big bear, understood, laughed, and walked over and said: "The little brother has good courage and an old-fashioned tone, why, he has been mixed on the road before?"
Luo Xiao shook his head: "No, however, I worked in the Qixiang Residence." ”
The big bear and the black man looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this was the case. It is said that "the legs of the porter, the mouth of the running hall", can roll in that kind of place where the three religions and nine streams are mixed, and this mouth, knowledge and courage are naturally not far behind.
The big bear rubbed his chest hair, stared at Luo Xiao with slanted eyes, and said: "This is a mountain leopard, you know, as for me, the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Avalanche Mountain Bear'." It's the same for the two of us to block your door - take out your harvest in Longyuan Mountain and let us open our eyes. After speaking, he stared at Luo Xiao's face, his eyes were vicious, and his expression was not good, as if Luo Xiao was about to draw his sword when he said half a word.
Luo Xiao suddenly understood, the other party's tone was so determined, he must have gotten the news from someone and knew that he was the first person to enter Longyuan Mountain that day. He knew these lawless lone warriors very well, and if he said no, they would definitely use the most brutal methods to go through him - these people never believed the words of Red Mouth and White Fang, unless they were said after torture.
Luo Xiao thought of this and reached into his arms. The Avalanche Bear and Panther on the opposite side immediately locked onto his hands and grabbed the handles of their respective weapons at the same time.
Luo Xiao's palm slowly stretched out, and the palm of his hand was three scales with black light circulating, exuding a powerful aura that made people breathless.
"It's ...... Jiao Scales!"
The avalanche bear and the leopard were wide-eyed, and they stood up on the ground, and the range of action was too large under the excitement, and they actually brought down the stool and made a clangling sound.
"I only have these three pieces left, and the rest of the fangs and scales have been handed over to the Supervisor and the Supervisor, if you don't believe me, you can go to the person who instructed you to inquire. Luo Xiao shook his hand and threw the three scales on the table.
The avalanche bear and the leopard hurriedly grabbed their scales, and the more they looked at the light, the more happy they became, and they kept smacking their mouths, and they almost didn't have a laugh.
The leopard's eyes rolled, and he said viciously: "Boy, you must still have it on you, take it out, don't force Brother Leopard to do it!"
Luo Xiao patted his chest and opened his hands very boldly: "Come and search, as much as you find is yours." ”
The mountain bear's eyelids rolled and said coldly: "Strip this kid naked." The old rule, after three knives and six holes, if not, then there is really none. ”
The leopard smiled hideously, stretched out his crimson tongue and licked the serpentine dagger: "Did you hear it?" boy, be honest, don't resist, at most you will suffer from flesh and skin, and you won't lose your life." If not, hehe......"
Luo Xiao's expression was still the same, his movements remained the same, as if he was resigned to his fate, only his slightly lowered eyes faintly revealed two points of blood.
The leopard stepped out in one step, spun his footsteps, and turned behind Luo Xiao lightly, ready to use the knife against Luo Xiao's neck to control it.
Luo Xiao's age and the yellow belt around his waist confused the mountain bears and leopards, so that he didn't check Luo Xiao's breath carefully, but the leopards were also old rivers and lakes, and he was still full of vigilance until he completely controlled his opponent and lifted the threat.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of banging on the door made the three people in the room startled.
Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, who is it?!
