Volume XXVIII Encounters
"Yao Zhichun, you're too impulsive! That reckless man is just a little hard-mouthed, and you won't directly kill him with a knife, okay! Now that the clues are all broken, half a year of hard work has passed, and there is still no clue, what do you say!" Yao Fang looked at Yao Zhichun, who was leisurely trimming his nails on the side, and said angrily.
They were ordered by the patriarch to track down the traitor Yao Zhiyuan and recapture the stolen flame bow, it has now been five years, and they finally found Yao Zhiyuan, but they did not find the flame bow, and they found Liu Dali after several twists and turns along the clues, and they originally wanted to continue to look for it according to the map, but Liu Dali's mouth was extremely strict, and no matter how they coerced and lured, they were not moved at all, Yao Zhichun was angry and asked for his life.
"Hmph! You dare to scold me for being a sissy, he is looking for death by himself!" Yao Zhiyuan said coldly, half a year has passed, and now when he talks about it, there is still hatred in his tone, he does look feminine, and his words are a little soft, and he does lack some manliness.
"Then you shouldn't have killed him with a knife! Yao Fang's tone softened, she knew that the brother in front of her was not a generous person, because of the lack of masculinity in words and deeds, he had been laughed at since he was a child, he had always been angry about it, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, just practiced martial arts in obscurity, and when he learned something, none of these people had a good end, and no one dared to say that he was a sissy anymore.
"Don't worry, at least we've got a clear direction now. Yao Zhichun was still leisurely cutting his toenails.
"Clear direction?" Yao Fang is a little unclear, so if Yao Zhichun is a man but behaves like a woman, then Yao Fang is a woman but as reckless as a man.
"That Liu Dali's face immediately changed when he heard that we were coming for the Flame Bow, proving that he must have known about it, we are looking for the right person, and we have been asking him about Gu Mingxuan's whereabouts, and he refuses to say, isn't that not three hundred taels of silver here, and has clearly told us that the Flame Bow is in Gu Mingxuan's hand, that is to say, if we find Gu Mingxuan, it is equivalent to finding the Flame Bow!" Yao Zhichun's words are like a woman, and his mind is as delicate as a woman.
"But the clue is broken here!" Yao Fang didn't care about this, she only cared about the result.
"Hehe, we washed a teahouse in Boiling City, this matter is in a uproar, it will inevitably be spread out, I think that Liu Dali would rather die than reveal Gu Mingxuan's whereabouts, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is definitely not shallow, you said that if Gu Mingxuan knew the news of Liu Dali's killing, would he come quickly, it is not difficult for him to figure it out, and it is naturally not difficult to find here." Yao Zhichun said unhurriedly.
"You mean to let Gu Mingxuan take the initiative to come to us?" Yao Fang said uncertainly.
"Zhongzhou is a vast land and a vast sea of people, it is not easy to find someone, when looking for Yao Zhiyuan, the patriarch sent dozens of groups of people out to find Yao Zhiyuan in different regions, even so, we still spent four years to find Yao Zhiyuan in this small place, do you still want to go to such great lengths to find someone? Why not wait for people to come to us?" It seems that all the Yiqiē are within Yao Zhichun's plan.
Seeing that Yao Zhichun had already calculated, Yao Fang stopped talking, but his heart was a little calm: "This person is very deep in the city, I also have to be careful, don't let him swallow the flame bow privately." ”
Five years ago, the flame bow was suddenly lost, and there was a riot in the Yao clan, after several thorough investigations, it was found that Yao Zhiyuan was resentful of the disposition of him in the clan and stole it, so the clan sent dozens of teams of people to look for it, and promised that if anyone could find Yao Zhiyuan and recover the flame bow, who would be eligible to inherit it, so everyone worked hard to find it, Yao Zhichun and Yao Fang were assigned to a team, and now they are the closest people to success, but the flame bow has only one handle, and there is also a faint competition between the two of them.
"Why don't we escort Yao Zhiyuan back to the clan first, this can be regarded as a great achievement. Yao Fang said, according to this situation, it seems that it is difficult to win against Yao Zhichun by her strength alone, and she has to go back to find some help.
"I don't think it's necessary, there are many people in the clan, if the news is leaked, it won't be asking for trouble, not to mention that Gu Mingxuan may come to the door at any time, it's better to be safe." Yao Zhichun couldn't see what Yao Fang meant, and categorically rejected her suggestion, but the statement was also reasonable, and she couldn't refute it.
......
The dark clouds traveled quickly, and soon came to the bandits' lair on the stone mountain, and five years have passed, and not much has changed here.
The entrance of the cave is still halfway up the mountain, and Ming Xuan is still approaching as carefully as last time, although his skills have improved greatly in the past few years, but this gang of bandits should not have fallen into cultivation, five years ago they were already good at the fourth order of martial arts, and now it is estimated that they are still stronger than themselves, although Ming Xuan is eager to cut them under the sword immediately, but he also has to do what he can.
"Living by robbery every day, living the days of wine pond and meat forest, even if their cultivation is refined, it should not be much, and it is not much different from me, it is estimated that the only one who can fight with me is the military advisor, first quietly solve the others, and finally deal with the two of you!" Ming Xuan secretly made up his mind.
The plan was thorough, but when Ming Xuan sneaked in, it was a completely different scene, there was a quiet place around, there was no secret sentinel, no patrol, and not even a single figure was seen, which couldn't help but make Ming Xuan very puzzled.
"What's going on, even if you go out to rob the nest, you should keep people!" Ming Xuan was a little puzzled.
The unexpected silence did not make Ming Xuan relax, but made him more vigilant, because this qiē was so unusual.
"Something is wrong! How can there be so many white bones here!" When Ming Xuan walked to the bottom of the stone mountain, a pile of white bones attracted his attention.
Bandits kill people and sell goods, it is definitely normal to have dead people, but they will never be directly abandoned near their own cottages, not to mention that the stench caused by the decomposition of corpses is unbearable, even if you always see a pile of white bones when you go out, you will be unhappy.
"What the hell is going on?" A series of things really made Ming Xuan a little confused.
With these doubts, Ming Xuan cautiously walked onto the stone path.
"Are you Gu Mingxuan?" Suddenly here, a cold voice came, directly startling Mingxuan.
"Who are you?" Ming Xuan asked vigilantly, he was now cultivating diligently, but he could still approach so quietly without being aware of it, which could only show that the man in front of him was extremely good at cultivation.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's ...... Flame Bow!" Yao Zhichun originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he caught a glimpse of the wooden box on Ming Xuan's back, he immediately became calm, and directly reached out and grabbed it!
This time, Ming Xuan was on guard, he immediately dodged this swift grasp with a heavy shoulder, and at the same time swung the sword in his hand and stabbed over, forcing Yao Zhichun away, and the two were in a confrontation for a while.
"Yo, I can't see that there are two more!" Yao Zhichun was a little surprised, he thought that Mingxuan's cultivation was similar to Liu Dali's, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Who the hell are you?" was able to recognize the Flaming Bow at a glance through the wooden box, this man definitely had a lot of origins.
"You give me the Flame Bow, and I'll give you a chance to live!" Yao Zhichun saw that the Flame Bow's eyes were straight, and he ignored Ming Xuan's questioning.
"Did you kill Liu Dali?" Ming Xuan continued to ask.
"Why is there so much nonsense!Hurry up and give me the Flame Bow!Otherwise, you can go and meet him in the underworld!" Yao Zhichun didn't have much patience now, and rushed straight to Ming Xuan!
"It's really you!bastard!Accept your life!" It was not difficult to hear the meaning of the man's words, Ming Xuan was suddenly furious, raised his sword and pounced, and the two immediately fought together!
Yao Zhichun has no weapons, his specialty is the eagle claw skill, his hands are bent into claws, and he greets Ming Xuan with a whistling wind, and Ming Xuan does not show weakness, the snow swordsmanship is overwhelming, and the two of them fight viciously on the narrow stone road.
Although Yao Zhichun is an ordinary disciple of the Yao clan, he has been well educated in martial arts since he was a child, and he is also diligent and hard-working, and he is already a good player in the eighth order of martial arts, even among his peers in the Yao clan, he is also a leader, and his strength is still stronger than Ming Xuan, and on this narrow stone road, the space is not very large, and it is more conducive to his play, after a period of stalemate, Yao Zhichun began to gradually gain the upper hand.
"Boy, I can't see that there are still two more hits!" Yao Zhichun was even more surprised, according to the understanding of Li Shiying and others, Ming Xuan and Liu Dali only knew some superficial kung fu, and Liu Dali's appearance was indeed the same, but he didn't expect Ming Xuan's skills to be so good.
At this time, Mingxuan was a little tired of coping, and he didn't bother to talk to him.
The narrow stone road shackled Ming Xuan's play, he fought and retreated, while avoiding Yao Zhichun's fierce attack, while wanting to retreat to the open area at the bottom of the mountain, and fight him solidly, he also wondered in his heart: "Where did this kid come from? Could it be that the bandits invited a helper? But seeing that this skill is far more powerful than the bandit leader, he should not be able to invite such a great god, but it seems that he is waiting for me on a special trip." Mingxuan always felt that he had fallen into a big circle, and he was a little confused.
With the advantage of the location and his own strong strength, Yao Zhichun had completely suppressed Ming Xuan, but Ming Xuan did not panic at all, the attack and defense were well-founded, but there was no sign of collapse, and gradually withdrew from the narrow stone road and came to the open space of the stone mountain.
"Do you think you can win me when you get to the open field?" Although Ming Xuan was a little surprised by Yao Zhichun, everything was in his control.
"Hmph, you can try it!" Ming Xuan said with a muffled snort.
