The group came and went faster, carrying the corpses and quickly disappearing into the night.

Tang Zixi, who was squatting behind the haystack, looked at the back of the masked man, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the other party was the person he guessed in his heart, but he didn't expect that person to be martial arts, and he was so high.

The cloud guard quietly stepped forward and said softly, "What now?" Qiu Qiu also turned his head to look at Tang Zixi.

Tang Zixi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Wait a minute!" I don't know why, she always felt that this person came here definitely not just to drive away those people. After all the previous encounters, she is also much calmer, and she will not be in danger again.

At this moment, the masked man who had turned his back to them suddenly turned around, looked at the hiding place of several people, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have already come, you will not show up to see each other." ”

Several people were surprised, and they all thought in their hearts, could it be that they were discovered by the other party?

"Do you have to ask the old man to come over in person?"

Qiu Qiu couldn't hold his breath at first, and was about to walk out as soon as his body moved, but was pulled by Tang Zixi, who was quick-eyed.

At the same time, a long laugh came from not far behind several people, and then a short figure slowly walked out, only to see that his beard was white and his face was smiling, it was Gu Tianzheng, the patriarch of Guxi Village.

He looked at the masked man and smiled: "Senior brother, don't come to harm! I haven't seen you for a few years, but your martial arts have improved a lot." ”

"Really?" the masked man snorted coldly, staring at him tightly, "I am here for a reason, I think you know in your heart. Hand over your stuff and I'll leave right away. ”

Gu Tianzheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Senior brother has not been misled by the villain, this village has nothing else except for some broken copper and iron. I don't know what my junior brother wants, you can give me an order, and I, as a senior brother, will do my best to find it for you. ”

The masked man sneered when he heard this, and then with a wave of his hand, a large group of black-clothed people walked out of the shadows, all holding bamboo tubes in their hands, and aimed at the group of villagers in unison: "Senior Brother Gu, are you really blind and deaf to me, if there are only those broken copper and iron here, will you give up your position as the head of the house and stay here for several years?" Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed to those bamboo tubes, and said, "These things were all developed by you yourself back then, and they must not be unfamiliar." Therefore, it is my duty as a junior brother to remind you that some words are better thought out before speaking, after all, the lives and deaths of these innocent villagers depend on you, senior brother. ”

He looked at the villagers who were glaring at him angrily, and said, "You don't have to look at me like that, I have already given you a chance to live, and now it depends on whether your patriarch is willing to ask for it." After speaking, he crossed his arms and waited for the other party's reaction.

These villagers, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, fell into the wolf's mouth again before they could catch their breath, and looked at the patriarch with a pleading look in their eyes, and the little girl wanted to speak, but her mother covered her mouth.

Gu Tianzheng's expression changed slightly when he saw the bamboo tube, he originally thought that the other party would bring some bows and crossbows and swords at most, but he really didn't expect the other party to bring this thing, so he had to change his plan.

The power of this bamboo tube is unknown to others, but he knows best. When it was first developed, it was only for personal use when going into the mountains to collect medicine. This kind of bamboo tube seems to be unremarkable, but there is a sophisticated mechanism inside, as long as the trigger is triggered, the iron beads contained in it will shoot out, and the range is as high as five zhang, and now the group of people is so close, let alone those villagers, even he himself can't avoid it anyway.

"How's it going? Have you figured it out? Senior brother, you know, my patience has never been very good......

"Is this true?" Gu Tianzheng made up his mind, suddenly raised his head and said, "Did I give it to you, and you will leave immediately?"

The masked man was overjoyed, and immediately nodded, "Of course, if you give me the Blood Marrow Grass, I promise to leave immediately, and never bother again." ”

Tang Zixi, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere behind the haystack, was stunned when he heard this, and secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be that the blood marrow grass they said in their mouths is the legendary spiritual grass that can wash the marrow of the I Ching.

"You tell them to put down the bamboo tube and step back ten feet. ”

"Good!"

Seeing that the group of black-clothed people really retreated, Gu Tianzheng took out a rectangular box from his arms and said, "The things you want are here." ”

When the masked man saw the rectangular box, his eyes flashed with joy, but he forcibly suppressed the urge to snatch and said, "It's not that I, who is a junior brother, don't believe in senior brother, but the stakes are very high, and I ask senior brother to open it and take a look." ”

Gu Tianzheng nodded, opened the rectangular box, a blood-red plant lying in it, with the opening of the lid of the box, a refreshing fragrance wafted out, which made people feel refreshed.

The masked man was overjoyed when he saw this, and he no longer doubted in his heart, and he was about to go over and snatch it as soon as his body moved.

"Stop!"

Who knew that at this moment, Gu Tianzheng took out an identical bamboo tube from his bosom like a trick, aimed it at the box, and said lightly: "If you take another step forward, I will destroy it." Let me tell you, it's not an iron bullet, it's a venom that I painstakingly configured, as long as it gets a little bit of ......" He didn't continue, but the meaning of his words was self-evident.

The masked man obviously didn't dare to take risks, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Senior brother, I have something to say." ”

Gu Tianzheng shook his head, sighed and said: "I'm not afraid to tell you now, since I was attacked by someone when I practiced that year, I have lost all my martial arts, and now I am basically no different from a wasted person." This Blood Marrow Grass was obtained by me after a lot of hard work, and I originally wanted to gather all the medicinal materials and refine it into the Blood Marrow Pill to restore my strength. But I've lived here for many years, and I've come to love this kind of life without fighting, and I'm gradually losing my desire for revenge, so it doesn't matter to me whether I recover my strength or not. So the Blood Marrow Grass doesn't matter to you. It's just that why should I believe that you will keep your promise when you take something?"

The masked man looked at the blood marrow grass, he couldn't hide the heat in his eyes, and he didn't mind the irony in his words, and said, "It's very simple, I can swear to Master Zu!" After speaking, he raised his right hand, his thumb and little finger were interlocked, and he knelt down on one knee and said in a certain direction, "Disciple Dong Boren, I swear to Master Zu today that if Senior Brother Gu gives away the blood marrow grass, I will immediately retreat with my men and horses, and I will never harm anyone here." If you break your oath, you are willing to suffer from all kinds of poisons. Then he stood up and said to Gu Tianzheng, "Senior brother is still satisfied?"

Gu Tianzheng nodded and said, "I know that Senior Brother you want this blood marrow grass because you want to save your lady, and it doesn't hurt to give it to you, but it's just ......"

"But what?" the masked man frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Could it be that you want to go back?"

Gu Tianzheng sighed and said, "It's just that someone also wants this blood marrow grass, and I agreed, so this one can't be given to you for the time being." When I find another one, I will definitely send someone to send it to my junior brother as soon as possible. ”

"You dare to tease me!"

The masked man was furious and lunged towards Gu Tianzheng.

However, when he was less than three feet away, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Gu Tianzheng's face, and then he threw the long box to the side.

Without even thinking about it, the masked man abandoned Gu Tianzheng and threw himself towards the long box instead, catching it in his hand just before the box hit the ground.

At this moment, there was a clicking sound, and the ground where the masked man was suddenly collapsed sharply, and the whole person suddenly fell uncontrollably.
