Chapter 4: Getting the First Step
Just as Luo Xiao was exhausted in the mysterious space and exploring around, outside this space, more than a dozen tall, short, fat and thin figures were gathering at the edge of the blood pool, looking at the flesh and blood corpses all over the ground, and everyone's faces were ugly.
At this time, the scorching mist in the valley had dissipated a lot, although it was still a little uncomfortable between breaths, but at least it was much better than when Luo Xiao had difficulty breathing at the scene.
The costumes of these more than ten people are somewhat similar, except for the three who wear pure black tight-fitting suits, the rest are all dressed in white, but from the fact that they are standing in three directions, showing the trend of horns, and they are quite wary of each other, they obviously belong to different forces.
These more than ten people are the disciples of Xiuwutang in the three major cities of Heshuo County: Yishui City, Yanshan City, and Xiuyan City, which are distributed around Longyuan Mountain.
Since they are all in the Xiuwutang series, the costumes are basically the same, but there is a competition between the three cities and more hostile, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hundred years of rivalry, and it is indispensable to fight openly and secretly in order to obtain more resources on weekdays, and people have died when they have seen blood. Not to mention, there is a headless public case right now.
"There are obvious traces here, and someone must have been the first to get there. A middle-aged man in black, who was about forty years old and looked a little rich, stared at the bloody footprints on the ground for a long time, slowly straightened up, and said to the two black-clothed men opposite, "Two deacons, which side do you think this person will be?"
"It's a good Xi Jiugao, and he used the trick of preemptive strikes to his tongue. Diagonally opposite, a man in black who was about thirty years old, with a face like a knife, a slightly blue complexion, and a mustache on his upper lip, said coldly, "Anzhi Some people are not shouting to catch thieves?"
Xi Jiugao's face changed: "Tan Liu, what do you mean? Although our Yanshan Hall arrived at the scene first, it was not much earlier than you......
"You don't need to be much earlier, you just need to be able to put away the Jiao Scales Jiao Tooth Neidan or something. A yin and yang strange voice sounded diagonally opposite Xi Jiugao, it was the third man in black, his hand pressed the hilt of the knife, and slowly approached, "The surname Xi, I won't say that the person who sees it has a share." Just by virtue of our three cities jointly guarding the beast tide of Longyuan Mountain for a whole month, there is no credit and hard work, this batch of treasures can't be eaten by your Yanshan Hall alone, and everyone has a share of the profits. Otherwise, if you get into trouble with the city guard or even the county guard, I'm afraid you will vomit more cleanly. ”
Although the skin and tendons were burned into charcoal by unknown fires, from the degree of charring, the strong parts such as the Jiao scales and Jiao Tooth Neidan should be preserved. The people present are all old rivers and lakes, and this bit of eyesight is still there.
Xi Jiugao took a step back, quietly moved the long sword on his waist to a position in his hand, and said angrily: "Xu Ziyuan, don't think I'm afraid of you, it's just that we Yanshantang don't want to take the blame for others, we can throw down the package and let you and Tan Liuzhen see ......it."
"Don't come to this set!" Tan Liu interrupted disdainfully, "Have you ever seen a thief with an accomplice who would put the stolen goods on his body?"
Xi Jiugao was furious, "Tan Liu!" The word 'thief' came as soon as he opened his mouth, can I recognize you as a representative of Yi Shuicheng?"
Tan Liu would not fall into the trap, and said coldly: "I'm talking about the thief who took the lead, if it weren't for your Yanshan Hall, you wouldn't have to force it up, and it would be boring to talk about yourself." ”
Xu Ziyuan had approached ten steps, pressed his thumb on the circlip of the scabbard, and said with compassion: "Xi Jiugao, I know that you are already in the middle of the sixth order, but you are too unauthentic, today I Xiuyantang and Yishuitang will join forces once, I don't know if you can stop it." ”
Hearing this, Tan Liu also took a step forward, and put on an extra pair of leather gloves that looked like the claws of some fierce beast in his hand, and put them on slowly.
Xiuyan Xiuwutang and Yishui Xiuwutang also have a lot of contradictions on weekdays, but in the face of interests, it is still possible to join forces for the time being.
Xi Jiugao's face changed, the three of them were all sixth-order warriors, but he was the oldest, he had been immersed in the sixth-order realm for the longest time, and his strength was the strongest, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't withstand the combination of two masters of the same realm. More importantly, how could he carry such a black cauldron that fell from the sky?
The three disciples of the Martial Arts Hall behind him also drew their blades and gathered together back to back, nervous, after all, they were outnumbered, no matter how you look at them, they have little chance of winning.
Xi Jiugao's hand suddenly took away from the hilt of the sword, spread his hands to show no hostility, and said: "That's it, today's matter, after Xi returns, he will report to the supervisor and the city guard, and ask the county guard to arbitrate." If it is confirmed that the thing was taken by my Yanshan City, I will spit out as much as I want - what I say is on behalf of Yanshan Xiuwutang. ”
Xu Ziyuan and Tan Liu stopped at the same time when they heard this, glanced at each other, and one released the handle of the knife and the other took off the gloves. The other party is so single, it is impossible for them to make another move. Regardless of whether the baby fell into the hands of Yanshan Xiuwutang, it can at least be confirmed that it will not be on Xi Jiugao and a few others at the moment. The most important thing is that it is almost dark now, they must not stay in the hinterland of this Longyuan Mountain for too long, no one knows when those frightened spirit beasts will come out of the nest, this Longyuan Mountain looks safe now, but no one dares to pat their chests to guarantee that they will not turn back into that dangerous beast jungle in the next moment.
"That being the case, we will each return to report and wait for good news. ”
Xu Ziyuan and Tan Liu retreated to their respective circles, and led their white-clothed disciples to bow slightly to Xi Jiugao, performing a samurai etiquette - drawing their blades when they are angry, being as quiet as a gentleman, is the standard of behavior pursued by samurai for thousands of years.
Xi Jiugao and his disciples also returned the sheath, saluted in unison, and then returned the way they came - the fish didn't eat but provoked a fishy commotion, which is probably a portrayal of Xi Jiugao and the others' mood at the moment.
Looking at the people in Yanshan Xiuwutang going away, Xu Ziyuan looked down at the wolves all over the place, and regretted: "It's a pity that these Jiao meat ......" sighed *** and left.
Jiaolong is a top-level spirit animal, extremely rare, its skin and flesh contain powerful heaven and earth spiritual energy, if you can take one or two, it can definitely make the strength of the martial artist greatly increase, comparable to the elixir. It's a pity that it was burned into a charred paste, and it couldn't be used at all, and he returned empty-handed in Baoshan, how could he not choke Xu Ziyuan.
After Xiuyan and Yanshan Second City Xiuwutang were far away, Tan Liu stared at the dazzling bloody footprints on the ground, thoughtful. After a while, with a wave of his big hand, he hurriedly walked towards the valley road with the three rotating disciples of the Yishui Xiuwu Hall.
The three rotating disciples whispered, and from time to time they were surprised and said: "It turns out that the legend of Longyuan Mountain is true, and there are really dragons in this world!"
The other person was full of awe and said: "Yes, such a powerful spirit beast would actually be killed, that flesh and blood is almost all covered in half of the valley, but it's a pity that it was all turned into charcoal, it's a pity......"
Another person said: "It's not all gone, didn't you listen to the deacons and them, Jiaoya, Neidan, these treasures should not be burned." ”
One of them suddenly said, "You say, could it be those guys from Yanshan?"
The previous disciple was indignant: "This is not the lice on the monk's head - is it obvious, those guys from Yanshan were the first to come, and if there is anything good, naturally they are the first to finish the search, but they pretend to be pretending, and their hearts can be punished!"
The two disciples said in unison: "Exactly, there are only these three paths in this valley, no matter how you go in and out, you can't hide from them, saying that they didn't take it, I'm afraid they won't believe it." ”
Tan Liu was in front, and he heard the disciples talking behind him, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what to think.
The three disciples became more and more angry, and when they were about to walk out of the valley road, one of them saw that a stone beside the road was not pleasing to the eye, and flew up with a kick, kicking the stone that looked like a broken corner of the cave into the stream......
......
In the mysterious space, Luo Xiao, who was sitting on the stone steps and worrying about how to get out, noticed a strange phenomenon - the hunting knife he retrieved was actually tilting!
Luo Xiao himself was sitting on the platform, and the hunting knife was suspended in the void next to the platform that he casually tossed. But at this moment, the angle of inclination of the hunting knife became larger and larger, and finally it was completely reversed, and the handle of the knife, which was originally in front of the knife and the tip of the knife, was now completely lost. And that's not all, the hunting knife continues to somersault - yes, it's somersault.
Luo Xiao was surprised, slowly stood up, stepped out of the platform, and was reaching out to grab the hunting knife. At this time, the unthinkable happened, his whole person turned around, and he actually followed the hunting knife and turned upside down, probably because of the greater quality, he turned faster and more urgently.
Luo Xiao was surprised, he didn't care about grabbing the knife, he tried his best to control his body, and when he saw an opportunity, he held down the platform to stabilize his body, and then jumped on the platform with a breath, and the feeling of involuntarily flipping and fighting was immediately gone.
Feeling his own stability, and then looking at the constantly rotating hunting knife, Luo Xiao's heart rose a trace of realization, this mysterious space was rotating for some reason, but this strange stone door and platform were not affected, and because there was no reference around, he didn't feel anything. If it weren't for the fact that there was a knife beside him, he wouldn't have noticed.
The rotation of space stopped abruptly after a while, and it can be said that it came and disappeared inexplicably.
However, Luo Xiao's eyes, which were touching his chin and staring at the spinning hunting knife, became brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, Luo Xiao's face showed a resolute look, stepped forward and grabbed the hunting knife, stuck his backhand in his waist, and then squatted down, lifted his palms, drank softly, banged softly, and slapped his palms heavily on the platform. The vitality of the dantian is like a flood that discharges the sluice, surging out and penetrating into the palms along the six meridian channels of the arm, the sun, the yang, the yang, the yin, and the taiyin. However, this powerful Yuan Qi did not gush out from the corresponding acupuncture points in the palm, because the Fourth Order of the Martial Arts could not make the Yuan Qi separate from the body to form Yuan Force, but the powerful impact force generated was enough to crack the stone and open the stele.
Suddenly, Luo Xiao's arms sank into the platform, and then to his head, neck, chest, waist, hips, and legs...... If the big platform is like a monster's big mouth, it devours Luo Xiao's whole life, swishs to the ground, and disappears in the blink of an eye.
Somewhere in a clear stream outside the deep valley of Longtan, a small whirlpool suddenly appeared, as if some river monster was infested, and the fish and shrimp in the stream were so frightened that they scattered and dived into the depths of the mire and grass water.
After a while, a wet human head suddenly appeared in the whirlpool, squirting out a mouthful of water, choking and scolding: "Who? Who is so immoral and throwing stones?!"
