Poison Gate
The attic is fragrant and warm, the room is filled with warm air, the wine is warm on the stove, the light illuminates the whole room, there is wine in the glass on the wine table, the scenery is beautiful, the handsome and noble man sits opposite the beautiful and generous woman, who does not know that it is a couple.
Their conversation is not a love story.
The handsome man spoke first. A smile hung up on his lips.
"I feel like he's like a poisonous snake"
"Witch Illusion is something I've spent a few years researching, and it's definitely not so easy to deal with, I'm afraid that even poisonous snakes ......," she finished drinking the wine in her glass, but she didn't finish her words. For there are some things that are tacitly said and do not need to be finished, so why should they be said if they do not have to be finished?
The beautiful woman looked at the handsome man opposite and said with a sudden expression.
"It's not you......"
The man nodded and smiled.
"I'm going to make other arrangements for this viper. ”
The woman laughed. "Aren't you afraid that this poisonous snake will bite you if it finds you?"
The man laughed.
"The viper is well controlled, and he is also a weapon against the enemy...... I didn't just have a good show arranged,"
The woman asked rhetorically.
"Are you sure?"
"Never do something you're not sure about. ”
"I believe it. ”
"I don't know what kind of trick it is, what kind of enemy to deal with?"
The man said lightly.
"It's a well-planned show. After taking a sip of wine, the man continued. "To deal with our common enemy...... Of course, this great character is needed to play this good show......"
The woman sighed softly, looked at him and smiled softly, "I don't want to have an enemy like you......" "But I really want to see this good show......!
The candlelight in the attic is still on.
The handsome man walked out of the attic.
At dawn, the sky will be bright. The mist is still there, and the wind is still there.
The woman looked at the shadow that disappeared behind the mist, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She only whispered.
"It's time for me to go......"
There was a fog in front of me.
Aquila asked Ling Xiaozi.
"What time is it?" Ling Xiaozi thought for a moment.
"It's Approaching the Hour"
Hai Lingzi looked at the fog in front of him and said, "It's almost dawn."
Daoist Aquila looked at the two of them and said heavily.
"We must go out before dawn!" He was now exhausted, but the three of them were still in the fog.
The two of them supported him, and his steps were naturally much slower. The road seemed to be still very long, and the face of the Heavenly Eagle Dao Chief became more and more ugly, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and a mouthful of black blood came out!
"Dao Chief!" Ling Xiaozi and the two exclaimed!
"I'm fine......" said the Aquila Dao Chief's voice was difficult.
"Dao Chief...... "Sky Eagle Dao Chief's face turned black and blue. "There is not much time, I can't go out, I'm afraid I'll drag you down."
"Dao Chief, what are you talking about...... Hai Lingzi's tone was a little choked. "We're going to be out in a minute......"
The Aquila Dao Leader looked at the misty road, knowing in his heart that this was just words of comfort.
"Ling Xiao, Hai Ling, you are all the masters of Jiangnan Martial Arts, there is a major matter related to Jiangnan Martial Arts, I want to entrust you two"
"The Taoist ......"
The Aquila Dao Leader stopped with a gesture.
"I'm running out of time......"
Ling Xiaozi and Hai Lingzi were silent. Why can't they see it, the Heavenly Eagle Dao Chief's poisoning is deep, and he is about to die. They couldn't bear to talk, they were listening.
Aquila Road.
"Since Senior Brother Kongmu was defeated by Sheng Yuntian with a sword and swore not to be defeated by Wudang, he has been depressed and sick, and finally died of illness, and I have been acting as the head of Wudang for some years. ”
"Bai Shoumeng's Sheng Yuntian swordsmanship is superb, and it is well known that Sheng Yuntian and Kongmu Dao Chang fought in Wudang Jiejian Pool back then. ”
"A lot has changed in the past few years"
Ling Xiaozi and the two of them recalled the major events in the Jiangnan martial arts in recent years: the disciples of the seventy-two factions suddenly fell into the mysterious Gu poison, the Baishou League suddenly rose and suddenly disappeared, the treasure of the blue-eyed golden toad, and the martial arts Murong family re-emerged......
The rivers and lakes are always changing, and there will always be disputes in the rivers and lakes.
Hai Lingzi and Ling Xiaozi couldn't help but glance at each other. I thought this was the rivers and lakes.
The Aquila Dao Chief continued.
"The rivers and lakes now are not the rivers and lakes of the past, and the dark forces have been devouring the seventy-two sects......," said this, the Heavenly Eagle Daoist paused. He glanced at the two of them and said, "As far as I know, they have bigger ambitions!"
"What ambition?" the two asked.
Aquila Road.
"I don't know the specifics, but the things in the rivers and lakes in recent years are likely to have been planned by them, and one goal is very clear, that is, to disrupt the rivers and lakes and subvert the seventy-two sects!"
"This ...... This ......" in their tones, the two were not only surprised, but also obviously shocked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he said something from the Heavenly Eagle Dao Leader that shocked the two of them even more!
"Their leader is likely to be our alliance leader Murong Bai! This is just a base for him! His goal is to get rid of the head of the seventy-two factions, so that the entire Jiangnan martial arts will obey his orders and submit to him! Now among the big factions, Nan Shaolin has never asked about mundane affairs, and now there are only three families, Diancang, Wudang, and Hainan Sword Sect, I have been poisoned and will die, and their goal is mainly to deal with the two of you!"
"This ...... Dao Chief, this can be ......" The two were very excited.
Aquila sighed.
"A man is dying, and his words are good ......"
The faces of the two couldn't help but change. After calming down. Ling Xiaozi asked.
"How did the Daoist know about this?"
"Just now they used illusions to reveal the secret of my mouth. ”
"Secret?"
"Yes, it's because of their secret that I know these things!"
Aquila asked. "Do you remember that the seventy-two factions of Jiangnan Martial Arts fell for Gu poison three years ago?"
The two nodded.
"How can you not know this?"
Ling Xiao sighed.
"At that time, the Taoist chief was concerned about the safety of the martial arts, and in order to understand the Gu poison prescription, he also personally went to the place where the insects and snakes were poisonous and miasma, and the clouds and nobles in western Hunan were ......."
Aquila Road.
"Yes, at that time, the White Shou Alliance was strong, and it was originally a thousand gold prescriptions for detoxification, which could successfully detoxify the Gu poison, and the lives of the disciples of the sect were in danger, and Shen Jianfei, the leader of the White Shou Alliance, could also become the new leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. The voice was regretful. "It's a pity that Shen Jianfei died violently on his wedding night, and the head and pharmacy disappeared overnight...... In order to revitalize Wudang, and also to unravel the Gu poison, I personally went to the place where the Gu poison originated and found the local clansmen......
Hai Lingzi said.
"The Taoist has been gone for more than a year...... When he came, Murong Bai had already unraveled this Gu poison."
Ling Xiaozi said.
"Did the Taoist chief find something there? Does it have anything to do with the secret you just mentioned?"
Aquila nodded.
"The secret is so big, and the stakes are deep. The poisoning of the sect, the treasure of the blue-eyed golden toad, the killing of the leader of the White Head Alliance, the bloody killing of the ancient city, and the secret battle of the treasure grabbing, these are probably all conspiracy planned by them!"
They vaguely remembered that many masters of the seventy-two sects died because of treasures, could it be that all these things were a conspiracy of one person from beginning to end?
The sky will be bright, the winter is not over, and the wind is still blowing. The road is miserable, what about people's hearts? The heart is lonely, the lonely swordsman in the wind is Gao Yucheng in the gallop black clothes, Gao Yucheng only has a sword in his hand, and the person has arrived in a deserted house.
The deserted house in the middle of the mountain, the deserted house has collapsed downward into ruins. A sloping stone door is revealed under the ruined stones.
The stone gate has no markings, the stone gate is closed, Gao Yucheng has come here to secretly check more than once, and he also knows where the stone gate opens and closes.
After Gao Yucheng knew about this stone gate, he said that those people cultivated the place of witchcraft. The opening and closing hub in the upper right corner, the first three and the last four.
As soon as the door opened and closed, the person flashed in, Gao Yucheng's black-clothed body flashed sideways, flashed in like a bat, and he was close to the stone wall.
The long walkway at the entrance of Shimen is bright on both sides, quiet and deep.
At dawn, these people who practice witches and Gu are resting. So now the passage should be guarded!
Gao Yucheng walked around like a gecko, and he found that there was no one in the passage. Not a single guard either!
This kind of place is not feasible all the way?
Just thinking about it, Gao Yucheng caught a glimpse and almost couldn't help but exclaim! Four huge reptiles in front of him!
The reptile is slowly approaching the stone wall!
The dazzling blood-red glow of the light! It's their tongues!
Gao Yucheng's breath seemed to condense! Four dark green scaly geckos!
The scaly gecko was looking at him with evil and strange eyes! His eyes were scarlet, and his tongue was rustling no more than three feet, three feet!
At a distance of three feet, the huge gecko is constantly approaching! These scaly geckos are huge and cannot be underestimated, Gao Yucheng is thinking about how to deal with it!
The distance was close to two feet, and the four geckos swam away in an instant, and pounced on them quickly and sharply!
Gao Yucheng was taken aback, this was a haste and an accident! His body was close to the stone wall, if he retreated, if he went down, he would definitely alarm the others, if he did not retreat, his sword would be difficult to deploy, his sword would be faster! The four tongues rolled his arm and the stone wall bounced in the air, the sword flew up, and the body fell diagonally, and the body did not chase down, the sword light flashed like the sword blade had come out! The four tongues were immediately broken! The sword blade fell to the ground to support his body, and Gao Yucheng re-attached to the stone wall.
The thing immediately crawled and disappeared into the deep hallway.
Gao Yucheng secretly took a deep breath, and his figure continued to wander, but this was his sword blade as his head, and he was traveling on the wall to measure the things in front of him, and at the end of the passage, two stone doors with exquisite paintings appeared on the left and right sides.
The stone gate wall is sparkling and the carvings are lifelike. The lifelike poisons are carved with toads and scorpions, respectively.
Toads and scorpions are like living creatures.
But how can there be such scorpions and toads in the world? The toad is blue, pointed, red, and has a large belly, eyes like a drum, and a brownish bulge on its back.
The scorpion is a foot long, with two chelica handles like pincers, and its whole body emits purple light.
Even so, I can't help but sigh at the craftsmanship of this carving and decoration. The toad and the scorpion looked around carefully, and in the middle of the stone wall came a snake with black eyes and white body!
The snake is circling and the head is erect. The serpentine monster stands in the center. Isn't this the hub that opens the stone gate?
"Press?"
It's just that the carving of this stone wall is too real, Gao Yucheng didn't dare to try it easily! He slashed the snake with his sword, and the sharp blade slashed through it, and the snake did not change at all.
Gao Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief. Remind yourself that it's really just a mural. He smiled to himself. "I can't be so bold. He stretched out his hand! Stretched out his hand to touch the snake's head, his hand was not close, the palm of his hand was hot and approached, and the sudden snake's head trembled and squeaked out with a strange scream, Gao Yucheng's reaction could not be described as fast! His sword blade struck again! The sword blade shook, blood flew, and the snake flew! On the stone wall was a real snake!
With a "squeak", the snake popped out from the stone wall! The snake flew and the stone lantern went out like a ghost!
The stone path was pitch black, and Gao Yucheng fell into the darkness, and a chill gushed out in his heart unconsciously! The horror did not come from the darkness, and the chill was not accidental!
It's a sound in the dark!
Weird and incredible, he heard a "boom"
A "cluck" cry in the darkness! The cry of a toad! In an instant, the stone wall moved thinly, and the living creatures on the stone wall moved! The pointed toad puffed out its cheeks and clucked, and the scorpion raised its tail and raised its pincers, this is the rhythm of their attack!
Gao Yucheng's sword was provoked, and he was about to retreat, and suddenly felt the strangeness of the sword body!
