A group of seven or eight people drove the carriage and came to the Huaixi Pavilion outside the city in the evening, all dressed as servants and villagers, and the leading steward claimed to be from Chengjiazhuang, he was a person who was good at dealing with officials, and successfully opened the door of the Huaixi Pavilion several times, a few whispers, and a few bags of silver.

The capital is not Biyu City, the sky has just darkened, there are few pedestrians on the street, and the officials of the Huaixi Pavilion are also happy to turn a blind eye, and they have not asked what is loaded in the car from beginning to end.

After the carriage left the post house, it drove in the direction of Chengjiazhuang, turned out of the official road after a few miles, and temporarily stopped in front of the roadside tea shed, and the steward greeted the owner of the tea shed warmly: "Zheng Lao'er, you have an early rest today." ”

The owner of the tea shed has already closed the stall and is about to enter the house to rest, he was very surprised by this unexpected closeness move, and then nodded and said: "The supervisor is hard, the old man still has some good tea here, do you want to have a pot to moisten your mouth?"

"I'm thirsty, I'll have a few bowls of tea, and I'll give you the money at the end of the month." ”

The two of them were gossiping there, and the others were not idle, surrounding the carriage and searching it quickly, not even letting go of the bottom of the carriage.

A Zhuang Ke was still not at ease, "The Dragon King is a killer, and there are a lot of crooked slopes, let's be careful and search again." ”

The second time there was still nothing, and several people even looked under the horse's belly, so they could be considered at ease.

Seeing that the matter was over, the steward arched his hand and said, "Gentlemen, I will send it here next, please take care of yourself." "I don't drink tea, I go back to Chengjiazhuang.

The owner of the tea shed watched the steward leave blankly, the knights drove the carriage to turn around and turn back to the official road, Zheng Lao'er was an honest man, hurriedly returned to the house, and went to sleep.

There were six people in total, one person drove the car, five people escorted the car, the tension gradually disappeared, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, shining silver and white between the heavens and the earth, the road was clearly visible, and several people chatted while walking, it turned out that they were all factions.

Around the second watch, six people came to the foot of a small hill more than ten miles outside the city, and three more people came out of the grass by the roadside to greet them, and led the way in front to a small temple on the slope of the mountain.

It is an abandoned mountain temple with a small lamp lit inside, and dozens of people are already waiting in it.

The Yuqing faction rushed out of the mountain temple in a few steps, lifted the curtain and glanced at the four corpses inside, and then thanked the few people in the ambulance, "The six senior brothers have worked hard to retrieve the bodies of the four junior brothers, and they are grateful, and the Yuqing faction will definitely remember this kindness." ”

The whole mission was not thrilling or dangerous, and the escort man still made a generous statement, and no one would waste the opportunity to make friends with the Yuqing faction.

Everyone met in front of the temple, carried the corpses into the temple with their hands and feet, and placed them on the incense table, which was regarded as a witness to the gathering.

Zhou Huaiyu of the Kongtong faction felt that the time was almost up, bowed to the four corpses, got up and said, "Everyone, take a break, listen to me." ”

Zhou Huaiyu was defeated by the Dragon King during the day, but he dared to disobey the orders of the head of his sect in public, stayed in the Dragon Slaying Society, and won great appreciation and respect.

The people were silent and listened to him.

"The Dragon King has relied on his evil deeds, and has come to the Central Plains to make waves, assassinate my fellow martial artists, assassinate the royal family, confuse the court, and disturb the elders of various factions.

Although the purpose of tonight's gathering is clear, not everyone has the same idea, the Qingcheng faction hates the Dragon King the most, Deng Chun still has to tell the truth, "The Dragon King is not an evil skill, he uses the palm techniques of the Luojiazhuang and Kongtong factions." ”

Zhou Huaiyu was about to say this, "The Dragon King did use the Central Plains martial arts, and I was deceived at that time, and after thinking about it, I realized the insidious cunning of the Dragon King." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Dragon King is known for his sword skills, why don't he abandon the knife and use it, he has to compare the palm method? Isn't he afraid that the knife method will reveal his killing methods? He wants to hide his connection with the killer in the Western Regions, so he naturally doesn't dare to use the knife in public, and his three sets of palm techniques are plausible, in fact, they are not the real Central Plains martial arts at all. ”

Everyone nodded, forgetting that the person who chose to test the palm technique at that time was not the Dragon King.

"Needless to say, the Dragon King killed innocents indiscriminately, and the bodies of the four junior disciples of the Yuqing Sect are placed here, he is the public enemy of the righteous people in the Central Plains, let's just talk about how to deal with him. Zuo Mang originally believed that the Dragon King was framed, but after returning to the Dragon Slaying Club, his thoughts slowly changed again, and in order to cover up his previous hesitation, he was more determined than others.

"That's the truth. Zhou Huaiyu took over the conversation in time, "The Dragon King has deceived the government, and the heads of the various factions know it, but it is not good to come out directly, so we can only fight together, as long as we get rid of the Dragon King and his killers in the Western Regions, we will not give up." ”

Everyone echoed, but one of them asked a question: "We have lost the competition, and we can't trouble the Dragon King anymore according to the rules, how can this be solved?"

Zhou Huaiyu sneered, "The Dragon King is extremely insidious, using the shameless methods of the Western Regions to deal with the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, are we just sitting back and helpless? ”

Zhou Huaiyu sold a pass, deliberately shut up and didn't say anything, everyone urged repeatedly, and he said: "Three competitions, the one who lost to the Dragon King was the Dragon Slayer Club, if you want me to say, the Dragon Slayer Club might as well be disbanded, let's start a new one." ”

This idea was immediately approved by everyone, and then, the focus of the discussion turned to what the new stove should be called, where to gather, who should be the host, and other issues, Zhou Huaiyu shook his spirit, firmly controlled the direction of the topic, and saw that he was about to gain the support of everyone, and Deng Chun of the Qingcheng faction came out again.

"It's a pity, Luo Qicang was seriously injured, no one in the Luo family dared to come anymore, the dragons had no leader, and the dragon king's martial arts were so powerful, even if the dragon slayer would change its name, it might not be his opponent. ”

Everyone still remembers the three competitions during the day, some people were silent, some people were not convinced, and you quarreled with me word by word.

Zhou Huaiyu was the most unconvinced, and said loudly: "The Dragon King's martial arts are not enough, he is good at sneak attacks and plots, even in the martial arts arena, he also likes to use strange tricks, just like Senior Brother Deng, honestly abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes, and humbly gave up dozens of moves before he was willing to go all out, and was used by the Dragon King." If Senior Brother Deng used a trick at the beginning, how could he make the Dragon King persist until the end? Senior Brother Luo and I were both deceived by the Dragon King's strange tricks, so we would lose the defeat, and his martial arts were actually not that strong. ”

These people are the best of the young generation of each faction, happy to win or not to lose, listening to Zhou Huaiyu say this, confidence is rising again, many people secretly think, the big gate faction may not be a master, Deng, Zhou, Luo three defeated by the Dragon King, maybe it is not good at learning arts, change to me, the result may be different.

The mountain temple was boiling, and Deng Chun didn't say anything to discourage him, but volunteered with high morale to have another life-and-death duel with the Dragon King.

There are others who are disappointed.

"Hehe, the Dragon King didn't even use a knife, so he beat the masters of various factions to the ground, and you still want to seek revenge on him? ”

"Which senior brother is so destructive to his own prestige? Please stand up and speak. Zhou Huaiyu listened to the voice in the crowd, so he still maintained a little politeness on his lips.

"I'm not a senior brother, I'm your grandfather. ”

In the face of such an obvious insult and provocation, everyone exploded at once, shouting and reprimanding, and many reached out to touch the blade.

Zhou Huaiyu finally understood that the provocateur was not his own person, and Yun Neigong made a voice to suppress the noise in the temple, "Who is the demon, who has the ability to speak face to face, what kind of hero is sneaky?"

The voice laughed a few times, and this time it was outside the temple again, "Since you know that the Dragon King is unscrupulous, you still have to ask where the master is from?"

"The Dragon King?"

"No, it's not the voice of the Dragon King. ”

A few people in the crowd had a good personal relationship with Zhou Huaiyu, and when they got his hints, they dispersed and searched inside and outside the temple.

Zhou Huaiyu sneered: "It turned out to be a lackey under the Dragon King, who came here to bark, can he make a great contribution in front of the master?"

The voice was silent for a while, and then when it spoke again, it looked gloomy, "Ignorant child, how do you know that the master is just talking to amuse you? A decent old fool has taught a group of little fools, and today the master is going to give you ......."

Before the words fell, another voice shouted, "Come down!"

Deng Chun quietly walked out of the mountain temple, the first to find the trace of the enemy, had already moved, everyone in the temple Hula ran out, Zhou Huaiyu was a step late, and said loudly: "Catch it alive." ”

The man hid in a tree outside the temple, and when his whereabouts were exposed, he immediately jumped down the mountain, his feet did not touch the ground, like a spirit fox in a moonlit night.

The ** of all factions did not have mediocre hands, Deng Chun was defeated by the Dragon King during the day, and he had already held his breath in his heart, and followed closely behind the man, only seven or eight steps away.

Kankan chased more than 100 steps, and four or five people ran to the front to outflank, and the man had no way out, so he turned around to meet Deng Chun.

Deng Chun accepted the lesson, the first move was ruthless, the two intersected with their fists, and fought three moves closely, and the others had already surrounded them, seeing that Deng Chun did not fall behind, they did not step forward to help.

After fighting two more moves, the man saw that he was not an opponent, so he actually used an unexpected strange move: he opened his mouth and spewed out a rain of blood, and turned around in place.

The bloody rain stinked, everyone was taken aback, panicked to avoid, the man seized the opportunity, rushed to the woods on the side of the road, Deng Chun fought up, regardless of the danger, chased after the enemy and slapped on the back.

The man screamed, but faster, and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye.

"Poor don't chase. Zhou Huaiyu caught up, "Beware of ambushes." ”

Deng Chun and the others stopped.

"The people of the Western Regions really still rely on evil tricks and poisons to gain a foothold, and the Dragon King pretends to be quite similar during the day, and his subordinates are in a hurry. ”

"Who said no, Senior Brother Deng's palm is enough for him, I don't think he will survive tonight. ”

Deng Chun was flattered, and he was proud, but he said in his mouth: "Where, where." ”

Everyone surrounded Deng Chun and returned to the mountain temple, and Zuo Mang of the Yuqing faction saw the blood rain spurting out by the man from a distance, and wondered in his heart, stayed behind, observed the blood stains on the ground, and then caught up with everyone, grabbed a Songshan faction **, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you think that person's moves are a little weird?"

"The martial arts of the Western Regions are quite strange. ”

"No, no, I mean he ** saved himself, I seem to have heard people talk about this trick. ”

"Hey, as soon as you say that, I remember, the disciples of the Ten Directions Sect like to use this trick when they fight, and it can scare a lot of people, but when they encounter a bow and arrow, ......"

The person in front had already walked to the gate of the temple, and Zuo Mang panicked in his heart, "Senior brothers, that person is not a subordinate of the Dragon King, but a demon of the Ten Directions Sect. ”

Zhou Huaiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said loudly: "The Dragon King secretly colluded with the Ten Directions Sect, and it was really a raccoon dog, hey, I should have thought of it a long time ago, if the Dragon King dares to come to the Central Plains, there must be an evil sect to do it." ”

The crowd became more and more indignant, and while scolding, they walked into the mountain temple.

Zuo Mang still felt that something was wrong, and asked the Songshan faction**, "What other evil tricks does the Ten Directions Sect have?"

**After thinking for a while, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Don't enter the temple, it's poisonous!"

The yellow light in the temple flickered, and suddenly turned green. (To be continued.) )
