The sudden appearance of this person really surprised Xu Brahma and the shopkeeper. Xu Brahma saw that this person had handsome eyebrows, a confident expression, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and his two eyes roamed between the shopkeeper and Xu Brahma.

The shopkeeper looked surprised when he saw him, and said, "Why are you?"

The man asked rhetorically, "Why not me?"

Xu Brahma saw that the windows and doors in the house were still closed, and he didn't know where the person in front of him came from, and asked, "•••••• this senior?"

Xu Brahma didn't finish speaking, but he saw that the man's two eyes shot out two rays of light and fell on Xu Brahma, Xu Brahma was immediately dumbfounded, but saw the man: "You call me senior?"

Xu Brahma was looked at by him, and he didn't know what to say. In fact, Xu Brahma has always been humble to others, although the person in front of him is similar in age to him, and using the seniors to call it is a kind of respect.

Seeing that Xu Brahma didn't answer, the man said, "But I'm happy to accept you calling me senior." As he spoke, he shook his fan and laughed.

Since the shopkeeper saw him, there seemed to be a ghost in his heart, he cowered and put away the compass, intending to slip away quietly, but was stopped by the man who stretched out his hand and said, "It's not impossible to leave if you want to, return my junior brother's two taels of silver, and I will let you leave." The shopkeeper said, "When do I owe you •••••• two taels of silver •••••• I'm owed." ”

The man said: "My junior brother, like this little brother, is all fooled by your rhetoric. If you obediently return the two taels of silver to me today, then I will not care about you, and if you are still denying it in every possible way, you will not blame me for being polite. ”

The shopkeeper saw that this person was not easy to mess with, but he seemed unwilling to return the silver he had received to him, so he quibbled: "I didn't force me to buy and sell, your junior brother volunteered to spend money to buy my compass, how can there be any reason to regret it." ”

Xu Brahma felt that the shopkeeper did not force the second brother to buy and sell, so he said: "This senior, although the asking price of the second brother's compass is a little higher, he did not force me to buy his compass. ”

The shopkeeper was very happy to see Xu Brahma exonerating him, and pointed at Xu Brahma and said, "This guest officer has said so, is what I said still false?"

The man glanced at Xu Brahma, and suddenly a smile flashed, but this smile made Xu Brahma quite uneasy, and only then did he realize that what he had just said was a bit of a tiger.

The man said: "Little second brother, this mouth can speak well, no wonder people who are shallow in the rivers and lakes are still counting money for you when they are sold by you." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Brahma again. Xu Brahma immediately understood that what he said was to wake him up.

The shopkeeper smiled reluctantly and said, "If there is nothing else, I will be busy." "To walk is to walk. The folding fan in the man's hand gently slapped the shopkeeper on the shoulder, and the shopkeeper froze and froze, his mouth crooked to the side. The man said coldly: "I don't want to talk to you too much, and I don't want to embarrass you, so I will let you go as soon as the money is returned." The shopkeeper seemed to have a jujube in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I am still am, I am still am." ”

The man folded the fan again, and the shopkeeper loosened his body, returned to his original state, hurriedly took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them back to him, and then fled like a roe deer.

The man took the silver, shook the folding fan lightly, glanced at Xu Brahma with a complacent look, and said: "Your one or two pieces of silver were given to him voluntarily, so I won't help you recover it, and you still can't trust others when walking on the rivers and lakes." ”

Xu Brahma arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the teachings of your predecessor Jin Yan." ”

The man stopped answering, and walked out slowly. Xu Brahma looked at the man's back gratefully, until the figure of the man turned around and walked to the bamboo bed when he turned around and disappeared in front of his eyes, and took out the topographic map of the shopkeeper and looked at it again.

The next day, Xu Brahma retrieved his horse, bought some dry food and drinking water, and hurried on his way. Out of the town soon, is a winding mountain road, Xu Brahma along the mountain road has been galloping, rushed for half an hour, then saw a downhill, Xu Brahma can't help but slow down, after the downhill, there is a mountain in the distance, the mountain is under the sunshine, lush and lush, water vapor lingers, very spectacular. Xu Brahma thought to himself: "This is Xunyang Mountain, there is no doubt. "Looking ahead, I found that the mountain road went around the mountain, and it was quite flat. Xu Brahma hurried his horse and soon entered Xunyang Mountain, walked a few miles, and found a stone plaque erected on the side of the road, on which were written three imitation Song fonts of tiger intestines, but there was no color. Xu Brahma knew that after the tiger's intestines, it was the Mandarin Duck Ridge. After another hour, I saw a stone plaque set up on the side of the road, which said that the three big characters of Mandarin Duck Ridge were also imitation of the Song Dynasty, but I found that the climate was wrong, the climate of the tiger's intestine was very humid, but it was unusually dry here, and the difference in climate was so great that it was really rare.

In fact, where did Xu Brahma know that Xunyang Mountain and Mandarin Duck Ridge were originally the land of Taiji, as the so-called all things negative yin and embrace yang, yin is wet, and yang is dry. Although Xunyang Mountain and Yuanyang Ridge are separated, one is yin and the other is yang, and the climate is naturally very different. The shopkeeper said that the tiger's intestines often appear in thick fog, in fact, it is not false, the water vapor rises when it is hot, and it descends when it is cold, and the water vapor is condensed in alternating between cold and hot, and the dense fog will be generated. However, Xu Brahma did not encounter a dense fog this time, perhaps because of the insufficient accumulation of water vapor.

At noon, Xu Brahma had arrived at the entrance of the plank road in Yuanyang Ridge, and at a glance, this plank road walked around a cliff, which was very steep. At this time, Xu Brahma had been in a hurry for half a day, he was already tired, he turned over and dismounted, found a shady place to sit down, ate some dry food, the dry food in his mouth had not yet been swallowed, and found that the dantian gushed out a cold air, and walked towards Ren Mai, the Jizhong acupoint suddenly beat, Xu Brahma immediately realized that his cold inflammation was about to attack again, and hurriedly spit out the dry food in his mouth, and used the jade void pranayama method taught to him by the Mudao people to suppress the cold poison in the body. Xu Brahma found that after every time he breathed pranayama, his dantian breath was full, and it seemed to contain a powerful force that was about to rush out of his body at any time.

Xu Brahma suppressed the attack of cold poison, and felt hungry again, so he ate some dry food, then drank a few sips of water, turned over the horse, and drove the horse into the plank road. The plank road looks like it has been a little old, and it is damaged in some places, Xu Brahma was afraid that the horse would be in a hurry, so he broke the plank of the plank road, and could only walk on it slowly. After half a turn, it is the end of the plank road. Xu Brahma was overjoyed and knew that after the plank road, it was the south of Qilin Mountain. He drove his horse out of the plank road, and was extremely careful when walking, for fear of bumping into the brocade guard in the shopkeeper's mouth. I saw that the Qilin Mountain was lush with vegetation, arbors and lush branches. Xu Brahma walked through the woods, walking quite slowly.

Xu Brahma knew that the opposite direction of the south was the north, and as long as he walked in the opposite direction, he could find the Great Banner Gate. Thinking this in his heart, he forgot for a moment that if he wanted to avoid the officers and men on patrol, he would have to take the wrong path, not the right one. Suddenly, a voice came from the front, Xu Brahma was originally a frightened bird, and he was very sensitive to any abnormal movements in the outside world, so he immediately tightened the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted. The horse was then pulled into a densely vegetated place and hidden. The horse lay on the ground, and Xu Brahma and the horse were close together, silent to each other. I saw that the voice was getting closer and closer, and after a while, I saw a group of officers and soldiers talking while walking, and there were more than a dozen people walking slowly. Xu Brahma lowered his body and stared at the group of people, not moving at all, and even his breathing became very gentle. The officers and soldiers on patrol quickly walked past Xu Brahma's eyes, and they were finally safe.

Xu Brahma got up, pulled the horse out of the woods, turned over on the horse, and continued to walk north. After walking less than two miles, suddenly the sound of clanging weapons came from the dense woods. Xu Brahma was startled, slipped off the horse again, and looked around, but there was no one. The horse suddenly neighed, Xu Brahma was startled, and thought: "Since we have arrived at Qilin Mountain, this horse is of little use, and there are patrolling officers and soldiers all around, so it is not convenient to take it with you after all." After thinking about it, he led the horse into the woods, touched the slippery back of the horse, and muttered in a low voice: "Horses, horses, now there are officers and soldiers all around, and it is dangerous to follow me, let you go now, you can go as far as you can." He took off the saddle and patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse walked slowly. Xu Brahma was a little reluctant, staring at the mount that was gradually moving away, and there were tears rolling in his eyes.

Xu Brahma was alone, walking in the direction where the sound of fighting came, and the deeper he went, the louder the sound of bells became. Suddenly, a few figures were shaking not far away, Xu Brahma cautiously approached the past, and saw two strange people wearing red and blue robes, with their hair scattered, not so much people, but monsters between humans and beasts. The two of them and several officers and soldiers wearing blue-green splendid clothes and holding embroidered spring knives were in a good fight, and Xu Brahma recognized them at a glance as Jinyi Guard.

The two strange men were armed with strange weapons, the blue-robed ones were holding skeletal hands, and they looked cold and shining, and the scratches on the brocade guards were caused by this weapon. The red-robed man held a spearhead axe, and when he swung it, the wind was loud. Although Jin Yiwei's ninjutsu was several times better than them, he was not the opponent of the two of them. The two weirdos sneered and laughed wildly, and their laughter was so sharp that it sounded terrifying.

I saw a strange man in a blue robe and smiled: "Uncle Ben will choose a few hearts to taste today." As he spoke, he laughed again, and suddenly leaned over, approached a brocade guard, and stretched out his five fingers, but he saw that the five fingers were as thin as bamboo, shriveled and fleshless, but the tips of his fingers were long with sharp nails. With a sneer, the brocade-clothed guard was caught off guard, and was about to cut it off with a knife, when the blue-robed strange man's five fingers had already been inserted into his heart, and then he pulled back, and there was already an extra beating heart in his palm. Xu Brahma was so frightened that he covered his mouth and didn't dare to make a sound. The blue-robed stranger bit his heart one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a beating heart had been eaten by him.

The red-robed strange man smiled and said, "Brother, it must be very delicious, I'll try it too." With that, the skeletal hand in his hand grabbed towards a brocade guard, the brocade guard waved his knife to block, the red-robed monster attacked again and again, and the brocade guard retreated again and again to dodge, but the speed was no match for the red-robed monster after all, and the brocade suit on his body was torn open by the skeleton hand, revealing a chest full of scratches and blood. The red-robed weirdo laughed and said, "I'm not interested in your heart, but your warm blood must be delicious to drink." After that, the iron claw grabbed forward, just grabbed the man's shoulder, and then pulled it back, and his body jumped up and landed on the back of Jinyiwei, hehe sneered a few times, revealing a mouthful of sharp big yellow teeth, and bit down on the big blood vessels in Jinyiwei's neck, only to see his throat tremble slightly, and a large mouthful of blood was sent into his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, Jinyiwei had become a sallow dead body. The other Jinyi guards saw that the two strange people in front of them were either drinking blood or eating hearts, and they were already so frightened that their souls were not possessed, and they still had a heart war, and they ran all the way with a roll.

When the blue-robed stranger saw those brocade-clothed guards running for their lives, he laughed and shouted, "If you want to run, there is no way." After saying that, he was about to chase after him, but was stopped by the red-robed stranger, only to see the red-robed Taoist say: "It is important to take the dragon's blood." ”

The blue-robed weirdo snorted, seemed to be a little regretful, and said, "It's not fun, it's not fun, I knew I wouldn't play with them." ”

The red-robed stranger said: "When you get the dragon's blood, the mountain of miscellaneous pieces is not enough for you to eat." ”

"That's right. The blue-robed weirdo let out a few shrill laughs and wiped the blood from his mouth.

With that, the two walked side by side towards the depths of the woods.

Xu Brahma finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leave. He slowly stood up, looked at the two corpses lying on the ground, and couldn't help but shudder, this was the most terrible scene he had ever seen in his life, and he hoped that he would never encounter these two people again in his life. Xu Brahma didn't dare to delay longer, he turned around and left the woods, walking in the original direction, still cautious. After a long time, a long stone staircase suddenly appeared in front of me, and the stone steps snaked upwards and turned into the other side of the mountain. In Xu Brahma's mind, the scene of the Taoist Temple in the Spirit Mountain appeared, and he thought that the end of the steps should be the Taoist Temple, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped up to the top. The steps here are several times longer than those of the Spirit Mountain.

Xu Brahma walked up the steps, and he didn't know how long he had walked, but he felt that sweat was oozing from his back, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of tiredness, but his steps became more and more vigorous, and his strength seemed to be inexhaustible. Just when I was still thinking about whether there were still long steps to go, I suddenly looked up, and suddenly realized that the end of the steps was indeed a Taoist temple. Strangely, there is no entrance to this Taoist temple, but a mottled brick wall. Xu Brahma thought to himself: "Could it be that I went wrong, this step is not the main gate leading to the Great Banner Gate?" When he was in doubt, he found that the wall was not too high, and it should not be too difficult to climb up.

Xu Brahma walked to the corner of the wall, stretched out his hand and just touched the top of the wall, the soles of his feet exerted force, jumped up, put his fingers on the top of the wall, and half of his head was already sticking out of the wall. As long as there is something under his feet, he can turn over the wall, but at this time his feet are already suspended in the air, and there is nothing to support, and his whole body is supported by ten fingers. I persevered for a while, but in the end I couldn't support it, and as soon as my fingers loosened, my whole body fell down. Xu Brahma didn't care about the sore fingers, he looked around, trying to find some stones to step on, even a few thick wooden blocks, but there was nothing around but low bushes and weeds. Xu Brahma seemed to be a little disappointed, and it was a disappointment in himself, if his martial arts had grown a little, what was the wall in front of him, the reality was that his martial arts were low, so low that even ordinary people were much stronger than him, thinking of this, he began to hate himself a little, this hatred turned into a wave of anger, this anger was like a flame, burning in his chest. He picked up his fist and slammed it against the wall, only to hear a muffled thud and a burning pain in his fist. Then, out of resentment, he forgot about the pain for a moment, and smashed his two fists against the wall in turn. There was a rattle from the walls, not like the sound of bricks, but like the dull sound of wooden blocks. At this moment, the wall suddenly made a "woo", and it trembled, and then the wall began to crack, frightening Xu Brahma to take a few steps back.
