Chapter 24: The Black Hand Appears
Three days later, at noon, at the northern foot of Longyuan Mountain, I rode leisurely into the mountain forest.
As soon as you enter the dense forest, the shade of the trees that shade the sky and the sun blocks the heat of the autumn tiger from the forest, and both people and horses have a sense of comfort throughout the body.
The knight took off the sunshade hat and revealed his true face, it was Luo Xiao.
"It's good that I didn't take the official road, otherwise it would be enough. Luo Xiao opened his hands, closed his eyes and felt the cool breeze blowing in his face, and was deeply glad for his decision.
From Yishui City to Baicao City, there is an official road, and there is no need to turn here. However, since he was going to go far away, Luo Xiao planned to go into the mountains to pick a batch of fresh red jade grass and put it in the Immortal Stone Cave Heaven. But considering that the area around Longyuan Mountain and Longtan is now a place of right and wrong, he can only go to the mountains and forests at the northern foot to pick.
Longyuan Mountain is not just a mountain, but a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, except for the deep valley of Longtan, where there are all kinds of spirit beasts in the mountains and forests, which are very dangerous, the rest of the branches are much less dangerous. Of course, without the protection of spirit beasts, the exotic herbs are basically all lighted, but there are still quite a lot of ordinary herbs.
Luo Xiao doesn't have any requirements for the year of the red jade grass, one leaf is fine, two leaves are fine, anyway, if it is thrown into the fairy stone cave, sooner or later it will have to be eight leaves and nine leaves. It just so happened that he was going to Baicao City, and he needed to bypass the northern foot of Longyuan Mountain, so he turned an extra corner and went into the mountain to pick a batch of red jade grass, so as to make a reserve for the next century-old flesh spirit stone auxiliary medicine "produced" by Xianshi Dongtian.
The adjuvant of red jade grass is still very common, and it only took Luo Xiao more than half an hour to pick seven or eight plants, basically all of which are one leaf, and only one plant has two leaves.
Luo Xiao threw them all into the fairy stone cave, then fed the horses a few handfuls of bean feed, drank enough water, tied the reins, and sat under the roots of the tree to eat a lotus leaf chicken packed in the morning. Estimating that he was four or five points full, Luo Xiao slowly got up and cleaned his hands, wiped them dry, then took off the hunting bow from the saddle, hung the quiver around his waist, took out an arrow and put it on the bow handle, slowly walked to an open area among the trees, and said loudly: "It's very hard to follow on this hot day, come out and make a show." ”
The air was quiet for a moment, and a man in black wearing a hat flashed out from behind a big hugging tree twenty feet away, approaching step by step, and said: "Amazing! Really powerful! ”
A look of astonishment flashed in Luo Xiao's eyes, and he quickly raised his bow and aim: "Who is Your Excellency, why are you following me?"
The man in black shook his head: "I'm not following you, I'm waiting for you here." ”
Luo Xiao's pupils shrank, remembering the tragic battle three days ago, needless to say, someone must have leaked his whereabouts again - this martial arts hall is really a sieve, and he can't hold anything up.
Although there is only one person in black, he feels more dangerous to Luo Xiao than the mountain bear and the leopard combined. In addition, this voice is strange, and it is actually a little familiar......
Luo Xiao squeaked the bowstring apart, the arrow was firmly locked on the other party, his brain turned quickly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wild Warrior, no matter who revealed the news to you, he must not have told you, just three days ago, there was also a Xuanwu and Wild Warrior who came to me to block the door." Now, their graves should be arched. ”
The man in black sneered: "Luo Xiao, Luo Xiao, you must not know, that night, I was on the big tree at the mouth of Balitun, from the beginning to the end." I have to say, you are really good, Yishui Xiuwutang has not seen such an outstanding disciple for a long time. ”
Luo Xiao's hairs stood up, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart. Moreover, he keenly found a flaw in the words of the man in black: "It seems that you know a lot about Yishui Xiuwutang, could it be that you are ......"
The man in black seemed to chuckle: "Good, good, the reaction is really sharp." You don't have to take my words, since I appear today, I am not afraid that you will know. To tell you the truth, I not only know a lot about Xiuwutang, but I also know a lot about your secrets. ”
Luo Xiao's heart jumped suddenly, and he pretended to be relaxed: "My secret? I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, what secrets do I have." ”
The man in black pointed to his chest and shook it gently: "Otherwise, a month ago, you were indeed just an ordinary disciple, but since the Longtan Shock, you have obtained an amazing opportunity, and everything has changed." ”
Luo Xiao was terrified, and his back was cold. Something is wrong! This man in black is not like the first two groups of wild warriors, but like someone who knows himself well......
Luo Xiao snapped the bowstring full: "Who are you?"
The man in black said to himself, "You know what? I didn't plan to do it directly, it was too risky, and I don't know what kind of adventure you get. It just so happened that a large number of wild warriors appeared in Yishui City, so I will selectively leak your news, let those wild warriors explore the wind for me, and I will find another opportunity to make a move. However, your chances are too powerful, in just one month, you can make a low-level martial artist of the second order of the martial arts jump several levels in a row, and even kill a fifth-order wild martial artist and a Xuanwu warrior. I don't dare to wait any longer, or you may come back from a mission, and you will be promoted to the rank of Xuanwu. At that time, it will not be me who will kill you, but you will kill me. ”
Luo Xiao gritted his teeth, and said word by word between his teeth: "You, you, yes, who!"
The man in black suddenly said: "It's better to be like this, if you want to be a ghost, then tell me what you got in Longtan." How?"
Luo Xiao's expression didn't move: "Since you were also there that night, you should have seen it." ”
The man in black smiled and said, "Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, don't tell me, you only have a few scales." ”
Luo Xiao took a deep breath: "It's true that there are more than a few scales, as for the rest, if you kill me, you can take it from my corpse - it's just, the deacon kills the student, are you really sure you want to do this?"
"Do you hear that?" the man in black pressed his hand on the edge ......of the hat and slowly took it off, and a knife-cut face of about thirty years and blue appeared in front of him.
Deacon Tan Liu, Yishui Xiuwutang!
At this moment, all questions were answered.
Luo Xiao shook his head and slowly exhaled the long breath that had been inhaled into his lungs: "Deacon Tan, do you know what you are doing? Once it is known that you are a deacon of the Martial Arts Hall but attack the disciples of this hall, you will not only be ruined, but you will also be involved in the Yishui Martial Arts Hall. In the future, which family and which parent will dare to send their children to the martial arts hall?"
Tan Liu said lightly: "Of course I know what I'm doing, so I didn't do it until you left Yishui City and came to this barren mountain and wilderness." Isn't this a good place to destroy corpses and die without proof?"
What Luo Xiao said was also the reason why Tan Liu was entangled before. If he was just a wild warrior, I am afraid that he would have made a move on Luo Xiao a long time ago. Considering his identity, it must be foolproof and absolutely not arouse suspicion. He has a great future, but he can't be buried for an opportunity that he doesn't understand.
However, after many temptations, now Tan Liu has determined that the secret of this Xiuwutang disciple is worth taking this risk, and the other party's departure from the city has given him an excellent opportunity, so he will not wait any longer, today, he will definitely seize this opportunity!
"Tell you a secret. Tan Liuyin smiled and said, "The White Grass City mission was released by me. ”
Luo Xiao took a deep breath: "I'll also tell you a secret, I actually didn't find you, my shout, and there are other people, two senior brothers, when will you wait if you don't show up?!"
Luo Xiao quickly turned around and loosened the string, and the arrow flew into the dense forest a hundred steps away with a sharp whistling, and a large beehive hung on the tree branch in the middle.
The next moment, there was a burst of angry shouts from the dense forest, and two embarrassed guys jumped out of the dense forest - it was Hong Tiangang and Jiang Feng.
