Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bird and the Mantis

The black-robed god of death harvests the lives of the rumors in the tomb like wheat. The warriors in the tomb, even those with some power backgrounds, are terrified. Those who had inadvertently mocked Yunyin Mountain Villa were even more like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, living like a year, thinking only about two things every day: when they would be found by the black-robed killing god, and when the tomb ban would be reopened and everyone would be released. And the ridicule of Yunyin Mountain Villa in broad daylight has also turned into a secret abuse. It seems that overnight, the entire tomb is filled with an atmosphere of sanitizing, and even the people who use black robes and black clothes as the standard robes of the sect have changed their black clothes.

At the same time, the two groups of people from the Yuwen family and the Yun family also died down, as if evaporating. After that, several treasure hiding places were opened, and the two forces did not appear, which also made everyone curious, if it was the Yun family, it would be enough, after all, it became the target of everyone, a rat crossing the street, but the disappearance of the Yuwen family made everyone puzzled.

Half a day ago, the man refining the Thunder Silver Bead in the stone cave finally opened his eyes. At this moment, the thunder bead he was holding in his hand had completely disappeared. The thirty-three acupuncture points in the body have all been opened up by the power of thunder. In addition to the moonlight flowing between the meridians, there are also thunderbolts flashing from time to time, which is an unexpected harvest. It stands to reason that just quenching the thunder and opening up the acupoints in the body with the help of the vast energy contained in it, after the power of the thunder is exhausted, there will be no thunder in the body, after all, what is used is not the technique of absorbing vitality or refining things. But now there is a thunder arc looming in the meridians, which does indicate that the warrior has the physique of being close to the genus of thunder and lightning. This person was originally born with a genus of Yin and Water. It is not uncommon for several related attributes to be compatible with a martial artist's body. But several unrelated or even contradictory attributes are almost incompatible. This person is the best example, born with a stubborn disease, the meridians are born with rattan nets and rattan nets are pro-fire, so there are often water and fire in the body, and the yin and yang are at war, so they suffer from burning their hearts. But after being seriously injured, the cultivation was completely destroyed, and after refining the moon spirit, he biochemicalized the system of getting close to the Yin genus, and the thunder and lightning originally had the effect of restraining and suppressing the Yin genus, and it was impossible to be compatible with one person's body. It is decided to refine a low-grade thunder thing as a certain acupuncture object. Now the Thunder Moon Body, if it is known by other martial artists, I am afraid that it will be shocked.

When refining the thunder into the body, there were several opportunities to break through the Heavenly Milk Realm that were forcibly suppressed. Perhaps it was this person who cherished the opportunity to regain his martial arts, and he was determined to produce the strongest martial arts physique and a perfect martial realm, so he restrained his greed for regaining his strength. The cultivation of martial artists is also the cultivation of the mind, and the choice between laying a solid foundation and a higher martial arts realm seems to be a choice that every martial artist has to face. When the realm is low, the more solid the foundation is, the higher the realm that can be expected to be reached in the future, but the longer the time spent in the lower realm naturally becomes.

Many arrogant sons of heaven are full of ambition to pursue the strongest realm of martial arts at first, so they are still tough when they have just cultivated, and they can spend a lot of time boiling up their martial arts foundation, but over time, people of the same generation may have already entered the middle martial arts realm, but they are still wandering in the lower martial arts realm and cannot feel the power of the strong, so they will become impetuous, eager to break through and use their vitality as soon as possible. Because it will speed up the breakthrough, although this will not make the previous efforts go to waste, it will somewhat waste the physical foundation that has been worked hard for a long time. There are also some martial artists, obsessed with a solid foundation for themselves, and miss the opportunity to break through again and again, although it is an incomparably solid martial realm, but it is difficult to advance an inch in the future, and in the end, they actually go to the martial realm with perfection, and they will go to the martial realm for life, which makes people laugh and cry. Therefore, a martial artist needs to cultivate his mind, and he needs to choose between taking a long-term view and making a decision. If the realm is not high, the combat strength is mediocre, and the enemy dies young, how can we talk about the future? If the realm is high and the martial arts cultivation is commonplace, it is just a paper tiger, and it will not be able to get on the stage, and I am afraid that I can only be a pampered and pampered worship and support façade in a third-rate force for the rest of my life. It is no different from the stone lion or stone unicorn in front of the mansion of those official eunuchs and wealthy families, it is just a pomp and circumstance, and it is just a deterrent to the market, and it cannot really prevent thieves and thefts, and it is useless for people whose identities are far higher than themselves.

The man stretched and stood up, took out a black robe from the mustard seeds, and put it on his body. wiped it on his face with his hand, and took off a pale woman's face, revealing a fair, slightly green young face, which was Yun Xuelan. It's just that the fairness of the young man at the moment is different from the sickly pale of a few months ago, but as handsome as the bright moon and warm jade. The boy took out a bronze mirror. The satisfied smirk at the handsome young man in the mirror turned out to be a little infatuated. Seeing this scene, the little beast lying on the side turned its head with some disdain.

The young man took out the yellowed middle-aged man's face from the wooden box that he had originally worn here, pouted with some disgust, and put it on his face again. He looked around at the entire stone chamber and couldn't help but sigh a little, he hesitated for a moment, took out a rosewood box from the mustard seeds, and respectfully put the jade statue of the woman on the stone platform into the box and put it into the mustard seeds. Picked up the white wooden flask and poured a sip of wine. When the wine entered his throat, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then brightened. He had poured the wine brewed from the Yunyin Mountain Villa with painted chrysanthemums into this pot before leaving. This wine is called Frost Flower by the mountain village, and it is also a sweet and mellow wine that can be enjoyed by all ages. But when stored in this jug for a month, it tastes far better than before. If the frost flower is the royal wine, then the wine in the pot at this moment can be called an overseas immortal wine. Such as drinking flower dew elixir, sweet but not greasy, mellow but not strong, fragrant but not vulgar. The boy actually raised his head and drank a few big sips, feeling that he was a little drunk before stopping.

The little beast on the side seemed to smell the strong aroma of the wine, and jumped up, jumped directly on the young man's neck, stretched out his tongue and licked the remaining wine on the young man's lips. The young man was stunned for a moment, firstly, he didn't expect the little beast's movements to be so fast, he didn't even notice that the right thing had reached him, fortunately, this beast was a friend and not an enemy, otherwise he was afraid that there would already be a hole in his neck at this moment. Second, he didn't expect the little beast to be so good at drinking, and behaving so intimately. A thought flashed through his mind, if this was a female beast, wouldn't it be a big advantage for him? But what if it was a male beast? Thinking about the skin on his face, he muttered mentally, the taste is still heavy.

The little beast didn't seem satisfied with the remaining liquor, and it looked at the boy with a pair of dark yellow eyes. I don't know if the pupils turned from green to red, the boy was still not used to it, or the little beast was a little drunk, and the red of his eyes looked quite confused. The young wine jug was taken off his waist and handed the spout to the little beast, and the little beast actually raised his head directly and opened his mouth, this posture was waiting for the young man to pour himself wine. The boy poured the drink into the mouth of the little beast, and the latter drank it like a man in the green forest. After seven or eight breaths, there was a "plop", and the little beast fell directly from the young man to the ground, drunk to death. The boy laughed and put the little beast on the ground into his arms. Get out of the stone chamber.

As soon as I came out of the stone room, there was a putrid smell in my nose, and the corpses of the disciples of the previous Immortal Valley had long since decomposed, and there were maggots crawling on it. The boy picked up the swords that one of them had dropped and left the cave.

The fresh air and bright moonlight made the boy feel refreshed for a while. Because of the beast's slumber, he didn't know where to go next. The harvest of his trip had far exceeded expectations, and there was not much time left before the tomb ban was reopened, so he was not in a hurry, but wandered aimlessly.

After walking for a few hours, he finally saw the first wave of living people, but a group of seven or eight people seemed to be being chased by something, and fled in a panic all the way. The young man curiously followed a few people into a dense forest, and saw that several people were killed by a black-robed man with a long whip. Because of the distance, the moonlight in the forest was dark, and the young man only vaguely saw the man with the long whip making a move. Although the whip shadow was extremely fast, the young man still vaguely saw its whip technique, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly he was stunned. The black-robed man seemed to be aware that in the darkness not far away, there was a black-robed figure watching and following him. For a few days in a row, the long-whipped black-robed man slaughtered several teams that spoke ill of Yunyin Mountain Villa in a row, and Yun Xuelan also had a full view of this scene.

Today, the black-robed man came to the river beach where Yuwen's family camped. At this moment, the people of the Yuwen family are resting in the tent. The luxurious tent where Yuwenxing is located is located by the river, surrounded by layers of tents around it. There were about five or six guards on the outermost part of the tent. It seems to be concluded that there is not much threat in the tomb, and the guards are very lax.

The black-robed man was squatting in the reeds not far away, and a black-robed figure was watching under the cover of the branches and leaves of a tree not far behind him.

The black-robed man in the reeds seemed to have figured out the defense here, he flashed out of the reeds, his body was like a tanuki, and he arrived in front of a few dozing guards in a few moves, and before a few people could react, the black-robed man's wrist flicked, and a black snake flew out of his hand, wrapping around the necks of the two Yuwen family guards, the black-robed man pulled back, and the two of them died directly. The remaining three guards woke up like a dream, and were about to draw their weapons and shout, but unexpectedly, the black-robed man waved his left hand, and three darts were accurately pointed at the throats of the three people. Three fell to the ground one after another.

The black-robed man waited for a while, and when he saw the people in the tent of Weijingjing, he stepped forward and took back the three darts. He swooped down a few times and dodged around the tents on the outskirts of W, and headed straight for the tent where Yu Wenxing was.

He stood still outside the tent, leaned down, put his ear to the door, and listened. As if to make sure that the person in the tent was asleep, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom, inserted it into the crack of the door, pinned it slightly, and the latch was opened with a "click". He slowly pushed the door open, then dodged into the room. The moment he flashed into the house, by the moonlight that penetrated the tent, he struck three darts at the man on the bed. Three darts rang softly, and three darts were fired into the forehead, throat, and chest of the sleeping man. The black-robed man still cautiously took a few steps forward, threw out the long whip in his hand, wrapped around Yu Wenxing, who was already a corpse, and dragged him off the bed. When he saw the corpse's face, the black-robed man couldn't help but be startled, and immediately drew his whip back and turned around to go out of the tent. But in the blink of an eye, a feather of arrows rained down on the tent, and each of them was wrapped in an oilcloth and ablaze.

The rockets were shooting like a rain of fire, and the entire tent of the black block had fallen into a raging sea of fire, and the black-robed man was a little embarrassed to dodge the arrows that shot around him, and tried to break through several times, but was blocked by the fierce rain of arrows and fire.

"I've been waiting for Your Excellency for a few days, Your Excellency is finally here, and it's not in vain that we have given up the exploration of a few treasure places. A somewhat feminine and evil voice came from outside the fire, and in the voice was extremely deliberate "sincerity" waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests for a long time and "regret" for missing the great opportunity.

The black-robed man in the sea of fire turned a deaf ear to Yu Wenxing's words, and sought a way to break through the predicament while dodging the rocket.

"Your Excellency is really a good means, we are a group of more than 20 people, and now there are less than fifteen people left, all of whom are under your long whip. The regret for the tragic death of his subordinates in Yuwenxing's words made even the people around him feel that it was unspeakably hypocritical. He continued: "However, Your Excellency is ruthless, and those warriors who have said a few fair words in Yunyin Mountain Villa have almost been slaughtered by Your Excellency. Oh, no, it should have been ravaged to the death of Your Excellency, and Your Excellency naturally disdains such a thing as killing people and selling goods. I still want to thank Your Excellency, presumably the day this tomb is reopened, it will be the time when Yunyin Mountain Villa is notorious. ”

Seeing the black-robed man in the sea of fire, he was still unmoved, and Yu Wenxing also admired this person's temperament. He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "I thought that Your Excellency had some grudge with Yunyin Mountain Villa, which would add to my plan. But now that Your Excellency has come to assassinate me again, I think that Your Excellency should not have killed you in anger because I sent someone to track down and investigate Your Excellency, but did You attack Yunyin Villa again? So Are You an enemy or a friend of Yunyin Villa?"

The fire became more and more ferocious, and the black-robed man was finally not as calm and calm as before, his steps became a little messy, and a few feather arrows could not dodge, leaving a few holes in his body, and he could only hurriedly extinguish the flames burning on his body.

Yu Wenxing sighed and said, "Since Your Excellency is unwilling to speak, then I will not give Your Excellency a chance to say your last words." If you have anything to say, you can go down and speak to Hades. After saying that, his evil voice became cold, and he said, "I'm sure I see this person's body." ”

Just as Yuwen Xing turned around and was about to leave, several feather arrows seemed to appear out of thin air and pierced the heads of several people from the Yuwen family. Before everyone could come to their senses, a few feathered arrows appeared out of thin air and came straight towards a few people. The maid named Yuwenxing served the meal without hesitation stopped in front of Yuwenxing, and the young man who had reported to him also threw Yuwenxing to the ground at the same time. The girl was shot through several holes by a feather arrow, but Yuwen Xing escaped.

After two rounds of feather arrows, there were only four people left in the Yuwen family. Several people lay on the ground, raised their heads slightly to look in the direction where the feather arrow was fired, and saw a figure in a black robe, carrying a huge bow, and holding a long sword slowly walking towards everyone. The young man who protected Yuwenxing under him stood up and said to the two people next to him, "Take Gongzi first." Then he rushed to the black-robed man. But just when the war was about to break out, a bell rang from the sky, and the warriors everywhere in the tomb felt that their bodies were wrapped in inexplicable energy, and in a trance, the moonlight was gone, and the sky was just right.
