The Qilian Mountains are covered with snow, the wind was very cold last night, and the upper reaches of the Daqing River have been blown by the cold wind.

A big gray rabbit fled along the river, followed by a long red snake, and the rabbit scolded in his heart, shouldn't the snake hibernate?

The rabbit slipped on the soles of its feet and could not run very fast, but the serpent snaked its way like a bolt of lightning, leaving a mark on the ground as a symbol of death. The snake was like a red-hot furnace, and wherever it passed, the ice melted and the snow melted.

The serpent is about to catch the gray rabbit.

But at this time, the rabbit finally ran to the snowless ground, its speed increased suddenly, and it made a popping sound under its feet, and it ran away in the blink of an eye.

The big snake raised its head, kept spitting out blood-red letters, and crawled slowly, with a pair of strange pupils, looking around for the gray rabbit.

At this time, the gray rabbit was hiding in a cave, thinking that he had gotten rid of the big snake, and from time to time he shook his ears proudly.

Silently, with a bloody mouth, he went straight to the gray rabbit, and the gray rabbit could not avoid it, and was bitten by the big snake. The body of the big snake quickly curled and entangled, and only the sound of cracking bones was heard in the ear chakra, and the big gray rabbit had already died on the spot.

"Poof!", the snake's head was cut off, the back of the knife flipped over, and flew far away.

"Hehe, Red Snake!" The man in black sneered and grabbed the snake's body: "I haven't eaten such a poisonous snake for a long time." ”

The man in black dropped the rabbit and rushed up the mountain with the dead but still writhing red snake.

There is a ruined temple on the mountain, and there are two black-clothed people in the ruined temple, one of whom has a scar on the left side of his face.

"Did the snake venom squeeze out?" Scarface said.

"It's all on rabbits. The snake catcher said.

"Let's stew. ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the gray rabbit had already lost its long hair, and the stench of corruption was rising all over its body.

After the three of them had eaten the snake meat, Scarface suddenly stood up and looked at Jiuquan City: "We have found out that the three dark rudders set up by the Nine Great Factions in Jiuquan City. The Cen family liquor shop in the east of the city was opened by the Taishan faction; the Lujia saddle shop in the north of the city was opened by the Songshan faction; unexpectedly, the Longmen Inn turned out to be the rudder of the beggar gang. In this way, we can go back and communicate with the three elders. ”

"This time, Kongtong, Wudang, and Hengshan came so quickly, did they also intend to set up a secret rudder in the local area?" said the snake catcher.

"It's hard to say. Said the thinnest man in black.

"What's so hard to say? This must be set up with a dark rudder, otherwise Liu Qingfeng will come in person? What kind of seniority does Runfan Lao Ni have?

"Now that there is no martial arts alliance leader, who can mobilize the nine major factions to come to Jiuquan to set up a dark rudder?" the snake catcher doubted.

"Who else can there be," Scarface said: "It's nothing more than Hong Seventeen and Huairen Zhenren, other realm masters, either don't ask about the world, or can't come out of hiding, that period of Huangyu has made a few daughters-in-law anxious, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, where do they have the heart to care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes." ”

"We have defected to the Tianshan Sect for more than five years, and we can only see the three elders...... , but I can't see the golden cicada. The thin man, with a look of ruin on his face, said without complaints.

The snake catcher patted the thin man on the shoulder and said, "There's no way, we were forced so badly by Liu Qingfeng, we can't bear to be humiliated, and there is no other way." ”

Scarface snorted coldly and said, "Do you think that the golden cicada is the most powerful person in the Tianshan faction?"

"Oh?" the snake catcher was stunned: "Isn't the golden cicada the most powerful in the Tianshan faction?"

It turned out that Jin Chanzi was really not a native of Tubo, but Ouyang Lie of the Tianshan Sect, the uncle of the three demon boys of the Tianshan Mountains. This news is blocked in the Tianshan faction, and others don't know about it.

Scarface slowly turned around, with a treacherous look on his face, and sneered: "That day, I was ordered to go to the back mountain to get medicine, but at the top of the mountain, I accidentally saw the golden cicada walk into a deserted hut. At that time, I wondered, with his identity, if he wanted to pick up something, did he need to pick it up himself?"

"It must be something important. "Snake catchers are humane.

"I thought the same thing at first, but when I sneaked closer and took a closer look, I saw the golden cicada standing there respectfully, and there was a person sitting inside. I can't see that person's face clearly, and I don't know how high his cultivation is, but do you think that if you can let the golden cicada of the Ninth Layer of "Toad Gong" treat him respectfully, what kind of identity can that person be? As the saying goes, the Ninth Layer is the pinnacle. ”

"Could it be that the man has practiced to the tenth level?" said the thin man.

"How is it possible, if someone has practiced to the tenth layer, it will have already spread all over the world. The golden cicada practiced to the ninth layer at the age of fifty, and now at the age of one hundred, isn't it still the ninth layer?"

"That's different. Scarface said: "It's the same nine layers, but there are also differences." Although these Transformation Realm masters can't continue to increase their cultivation, they can expand the Qi Sea. The old beggar can run four thousand miles, what a wicked door!"

"Moreover, the last thousand miles are still in the case of poisoning. The thin man said.

"None of this has anything to do with us, though. As long as the golden cicada comes out of the rivers and lakes again and helps us eliminate Liu Qingfeng, our brothers and sisters can return to the Central Plains again!" the snake catcher gritted his teeth.

"I heard Young Master Ouyang Xiaolang say that when we go back this time, we will prepare to explore the Central Plains again, and the first stop must be Jiuquan. The thin man said.

"Hahaha! If Young Master Xiao Lang comes out, we won't be afraid! The five masters around him, can't they beat one Liu Qingfeng?" the snake catcher laughed.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that any two of them will not be under Liu Qingfeng. Scarface snorted coldly.

The three of them laughed for a while, and the snake catcher frowned again: "It's strange to say, when the golden cicada entered the Central Plains, he could have killed all the way, but why did he have to go to Shaolin Temple?"

"That's something I couldn't figure out. Scarface said: "At that time, Jin Chanzi had just practiced the nine-layer "Toad Gong", and Hong Seventeen was only thirty years old, and he had already practiced the nine-layer "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", coincidentally, that time Hong Seventeen ran to Dali to see Duan Huangyu's daughter-in-law, although the disease was cured, but the internal strength of the two masters regressed for ten years, even if he took the best recovery medicine, he could not recover in a year and a half. Since then, Duan Huangyu and Hong Seventeen have become friends of life and death. ”

"At that time, Ren Tianming was in retreat to practice the "Nine Yang Divine Skill", and Ximen Zhensen was probably the same, at that time, only Huairen Zhenren was left as a master, but he was only an eight-layer Taiji True Qi at that time, he was cautious and would not come to provoke the golden cicada. Only the sword saint Ouyang Wuji did his best to not take the fifty swords in front of the golden cicada. ”

But he escaped, and he was the only one who escaped in front of the golden cicada. "Snake catchers are humane.

"Yes, in the end, it is the Sword Saint, the pinnacle of foreign martial arts. Scarface sighed.

"Hey, after talking for a long time, why did the golden cicada go to the Shaolin Temple?" said the thin man.

Scarface shook his head and said, "We don't understand this, but one thing is clear, at that time, the palm of the Master of Empty Hearing was by no means comparable to the nine-layer skill. Otherwise, with the personality of the golden cicada, the Shaolin Temple will also be flattened by him. ”

The three of them were silent for a while, and the snake catcher dared to ask, "Brother Scar, you say, do we want to continue to investigate?"

The thin man was shocked and said, "Liu Qingfeng is in Jiuquan now, shall we go back and find death?"

Scarface waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we've found three dark rudders, and we can go back to the business." ”

After that, the three of them took care of their bags and walked out of the broken temple one after another, but as soon as they pushed the door open, they saw an old lady standing outside the door, the old lady's face was very pale, like a dead face, she was expressionless, silent, and the three of them were completely unaware of her arrival.

How long has she been standing outside?

Scarface was just about to speak, when the sleeve of the old lady's robe waved, and three "heart-penetrating needles" hit the foreheads of the three people, killing them instantly.

But she didn't expect that the three of them were smashed and could still stand up, the old lady was shocked, and said in her heart: Tianshan poison has really advanced to Mahayana, and it can control the dead.

Then the true qi erupted, and with a fierce claw, the five silver rays were like five sickles, flipped rapidly in the air. With a flash of silver, the three of them were cut into fifteen pieces.

This time, the three of them could no longer stand up, only a few hands, and they were still crawling on the ground.
