Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dead Wood Forest
Li Xinlian left Liu Peng and the others, and galloped away on a fast horse.
Liu Peng and Huang Tianzheng stood in place for a long time, watching Li Xinlian's back quickly disappear into the dark road. I felt relieved in my heart, and felt that Li Xinlian had grown up at this time.
Liu Peng looked at Li Xinlian's back, and a tear gradually flowed down his eyes. A famous martial arts senior, a hero admired by 10,000 people, and a famous head of the Aquila Gate, but he shed tears, it was not sadness, it was not cowardice, nor fear, but a tear of family affection, a tear of relief for his relatives.
Huang Tianzheng saw tears in Liu Peng's eyes, and his heart was also sour. It was inconvenient to say more, so I asked the master to be quiet. I quietly went back to the store.
The fifth watch has passed, and the rooster cries to report the dawn.
After the battle last night, the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect have lost their vitality greatly, and traces of blood stains can still be faintly seen on their clothes.
Seeing that there were only twenty-three disciples left, Liu Peng felt guilty in his heart, and his heart was like a knife. But now there is no way back. Liu Peng let out a long sigh, then sorted out his sad mood, and ordered Huang Tianzheng and the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect to pack up and prepare to leave here.
Liu Peng knew in his heart that this place had been exposed and he had to leave quickly, so he instructed Huang Tianzheng and the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect to carry the box prepared yesterday on their backs.
The twenty-three disciples and Liu Peng, Huang Tianzheng and the others all had the same box on their bodies, the box was square, and there was a similar sun pattern on the surface, which was almost exactly the same as the box containing the Jiuyang Supreme Order.
Everyone was ready, mounted their horses and whipped away.
Liu Peng and the others galloped away from the town and ran all the way to the trail.
The trail was overgrown with weeds on both sides, and the grass was three feet high, and a person could block half of his body there, and it would be even more difficult to detect if he was ambushed.
The disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect watched the surroundings vigilantly, for fear that someone would be ambushing in the weeds.
Huang Tianzheng also inspected the surroundings, the wind blew two weeds rustling, and he secretly wondered in his heart: Why does Master take this road, but not the official road. And this road does not lead to Tianjian Mountain.
Huang Tianzheng rode forward with doubts in his heart and asked Liu Peng, "Master, this road doesn't seem to be the way to the Heavenly Sword Gate. ”
"That's right. Liu Peng looked around and said, "This road can also go to Tianjian Mountain, but it is relatively farther than the original road." ”
Huang Tianzheng nodded, why did the master finally take a detour, although according to the original route, he could reach Tianjian Mountain in advance, but it was full of dangers. By taking a detour, the enemy's route is null and void, and their whereabouts are much more hidden.
Liu Peng looked at Huang Tianzheng and could see through his thoughts, and said softly: "No matter where we go, the enemy will always know our whereabouts. ”
When Huang Tianzheng heard this, he was taken aback and said, "This... How is this possible. After pondering for a while, he whispered to Liu Peng in a panic: "Could it be that there are internal ghosts among us?"
Liu Peng shook his head with an indifferent smile, and didn't answer Huang Tianzheng's question, but said, "There is a dead wood forest ahead." ”
Huang Tianzheng saw that the master shook his head and denied the ghost in the middle, so he was surprised in his heart and didn't say much, presumably the master must have his reason for doing this. Then he said in surprise: "The dead wood forest? In front of it is the dead wood forest that has no grass and is surrounded by miasma all day long. ”
"That's right. Liu Peng nodded indifferently and said, "Our purpose is this dead wood forest." ”
Huang Tianzheng couldn't understand what the master meant. He could only follow Master's orders.
Liu Peng saw that Huang Tianzheng no longer asked, so he whispered to Huang Tianzheng: "Zheng'er, then you will know why the teacher did this." ”
Huang Tianzheng nodded firmly, believing that Liu Peng must have a plan.
Liu Peng waved his hand and said loudly: "Disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, listen to my order, dismount and enter the woods in front. ”
When the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect heard Liu Peng's order, they dismounted one after another.
Liu Peng said loudly again: "Tie the horse to the woods and enter the woods with your belongings." ”
The people of the Aquila Gate surrendered their horses to a small tree not far from the woods.
Twenty-five people entered the dead woods. When everyone entered the dead wood forest, they looked at the miasma surrounding the trees, the branches were dry, and there was no green in the slightest, and there was no grass on the ground around them. From time to time, some snakes, insects, rats, and ant reptiles appear on the ground. It makes people panic when they look at it, and there are bursts of white mist in the woods, which makes people feel eerie and terrifying. There was a strong, unpleasant smell in the air.
As soon as the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Gate stepped within a foot of the dead wood forest, their noses smelled a foul odor and they could not take a step forward.
Seeing that everyone couldn't bear the evil, Liu Peng took out a bottle from his body and handed it to Huang Tianzheng: "This bottle contains some antidote pills, let the disciples take it first." Then you can transport the turtle breath gong. ”
Huang Tianzheng nodded, and quickly distributed the bottle of Chinese medicine pills to everyone.
When the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect took the antidote pill, they used their internal strength, ran their whole body, and locked and sealed the acupuncture points such as the three rooms, the trapped bones, the wind pool, the stars, the incense, and the Yin Tang.
Huang Tianzheng was worried that even if he ate the antidote and transported the turtle breath gong, he would not be able to maintain it for long. Then he asked Liu Peng: "Master, even if the turtle breath gong can only last for an hour at most. ”
"Hmm. Liu Peng said: "One hour is enough. ”
"Master, what do you mean? Huang Tianzheng didn't know.
"Historically, only the bodyguards have been robbed and killed. Liu Peng frowned and said, "This time we want to be anti-guest-oriented." ”
"Anti-guest-oriented?" Huang Tianzheng muttered, and suddenly his spirits lifted up and shouted: "Okay, Master is a good anti-guest-oriented." ”
Liu Peng nodded, knowing in his heart that although the dead wood forest had been full of miasma for many years, it could also lead to Tianjian Mountain. Therefore, those who want to take the Supreme Order of the Nine Suns must venture into the dead wood forest to find the whereabouts of all of them.
The Jiuyang Supreme Order is very important, and how can everyone in the martial arts not dare to venture into the dead wood forest if they dream of the treasures they want to get.
Tianyingmen and the others listened to Liu Peng's order to ambush around. Wait for the dart grabber to appear.
A group of fierce and vicious people, wearing tiger fur coats, who looked like robbers and bandits on the mountain, were rummaging around in the dilapidated inn where Liu Peng and the others had lived before.
A middle-aged man riding a horse, with a bearded face, wearing a tiger fur coat, a tiger's back, and holding a five-foot knife in his hand, looked extremely vicious outside the door, watching several of his subordinates rummaging in the house.
Suddenly, a man hurriedly walked out of the house, ran to the middle-aged man, knelt down on one knee and said, "Go back to the village, there is nothing in it." ”
"Hmm. The man frowned, rather unhappy.
At this time, a person knelt in front of him in a hurry and said, "Village master, we found this inside." With that, he handed over what he had found.
The man took it and saw that it was a small bamboo tube with a small white cloth inside.
The man opened the bamboo tube and took out a small white cloth, only to see that the small white cloth read: See you in the dead woods.
When this man saw the simple four words "see you in the dead woods", he was very happy, so he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, it seems that it is time for my White Tiger Village to dominate the martial arts." ”
This man is the well-known owner of the White Tiger Village on the rivers and lakes, and the people in the martial arts call it Tiger Sword An Zhen.
An Zhen was so excited in his heart that he didn't say anything, and ordered the disciples of the White Tiger Village to follow him to the dead wood forest.
