Chapter Forty-Three: Clever Pointing to the Wrong Road and Seeing Cruelty
Hou Wanjun walked in quickly and saluted Shi Hongtao: "See the young master!" Shi Hongtao said: "I want them to take us to Ye Xiaotian." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Hou Wanjun said in surprise: "Young master, what kind of person Ye Xiaotian is, I believe you should have known it a long time ago." Now that the old boss has just died, we will go to Ye Xiaotian, I'm afraid it's not the best time. What's more, the old boss's bones are not cold, and the murderer is right in front of us, why don't we kill them first to avenge the old boss?"
Shi Hongtao said: "What Uncle Hou said is very true. It's just that my father has been haunted by the search for the 'Dragon's Tooth Sword' before his death. You know this best. Now, he has unfortunately died, and as a son of man, he should do everything he can to fulfill this wish of his and fulfill his filial piety. Now, since they know Ye Xiaotian's whereabouts, why don't we make good use of them to take us to kill Ye Xiaotian and seize the 'Dragon Tooth Sword'? What's more, they have been hit by the 'Seven Days Rotting Corpse Pill', and there are only three days left to live, if we don't make good use of the remaining three days, I'm afraid that we won't know when there will be news of Ye Xiaotian in the future." I'm sure my father's spirit in heaven will approve of me doing so. ”
Hou Wanjun said: "Since the young head has made this decision, his subordinates must do their best to assist." Can the subordinates check whether they have really been poisoned by the 'Seven Days Rotting Corpse Pill'?" After Shi Hongtao allowed it, he stepped forward with Hou Wanjun to inspect the poisoning of Ouyang Yue and Zhao Lei. After the inspection, Hou Wanjun said: "There are corpse spots in the acupoints, which is exactly the symptom of the 'Seven Days Rotting Corpse Pill'. It's just that they died of poison in three days, and the poison can only be solved by the person who poisoned it, and the subordinates are afraid that they will be dead before they find Ye Xiaotian. ”
Shi Hongtao said: "This is exactly the reason why I came to you to discuss together. Hou Wanjun pondered for a moment and said, "My subordinates once had the honor to have a relationship with the head of Baicao Hall, Gu Bencao. Thanks to the gift of his old man, he gave me a few pills of 'Life Renewal and Yang Pill', as long as I swallow one pill, whether it is highly poisonous or seriously injured, I can save my life within seven days. Shi Hong said happily: "Then you hurry up and give them the medicine." Hou Wanjun said: "This medicine is precious, I didn't carry it with me, I hid it in the bedroom, and my subordinates went to get it immediately." After speaking, Shi Hongtao took the medicine and went.
Soon, Hou Wanjun took two pills of 'Life Renewal and Yang Pill' and gave them to Ouyang Yue and Zhao Lei respectively, but Zhao Lei was reluctant at first. Ouyang Yue said strangely: "Stone, why don't you eat it?" Zhao Lei said: "He is also the enemy who killed my father's mother, I don't eat his things." It turned out that Zhao Lei had already recognized that Hou Wanjun was also his enemy, so he was reluctant to eat. Shi Hongtao said strangely: "What the hell is going on?" After Hou Wanjun finished talking about what happened, Shi Hongtao said: "If you don't eat, you have to eat, feed him." After Hou Wanjun forcibly fed Zhao Lei the medicine, Shi Hongtao said again: "Without further ado, we will set off to Huashan overnight in half an hour." With that, they prepared to go.
Shi Hongtao knew that this trip was dangerous and unpredictable. Therefore, he followed Shi Yinghai's instructions to go to the secret room and get the 'lightning rod'. He thought that in case Shuntianmen was defeated by Ye Xiaotian, he could use the 'Thunder Rod' to clean him up. After taking the 'Thunder Rod', Shi Hongtao saw that there was also a copy of the 'Lancet Technique' and a secret book of the 'Hermit Technique' in the dark grid. Because Shi Yinghai told him on his deathbed that these two martial arts secrets are very important, take them with you, and you can take them out and read them when you have time on the way to Huashan, maybe it will be of great benefit.
Half an hour later, Shi Hongtao led Hou Wanjun and more than a dozen people from Shuntianmen to set off. In order to reach Huashan as soon as possible, they not only traveled by horse, but also traveled under the stars. It only took two days to reach the outside of Huayin City. Hou Wanjun saw that the brigade of people crossing the street was easy to attract attention, so he said to Shi Hongtao: "We might as well change to a business trip to the city." First, it can reduce unnecessary trouble, and secondly, if you encounter someone related to Ye Xiaotian, you can also avoid their defense. I don't know what the young master thinks. ”
Shi Hongtao felt justified and agreed: "Manager Hou is thoughtful and thoughtful, so he will do as you say." So, the whole team changed to business clothes. Ouyang Yue and Zhao Lei needed to assist each other to complete it because their hands and feet were locked. Ouyang Yue took the opportunity to change Zhao Lei's clothes and whispered to Zhao Lei: "No matter what I do next, you have to be careful, don't make a sound, just follow me and do it." Zhao Lei was very curious about what Ouyang Yue was going to do next, but he obeyed her arrangement, so he nodded and agreed.
After changing his clothes, Hou Wanjun saw that Ouyang Yue was still grinding there, so he walked over and scolded: "Stinky girl, hurry up and set off, don't try to play tricks in front of me, otherwise I will be unkind to you." Ouyang Yue pretended to be quick to get it right, and said in her heart: "Okay, you dog slave, dare to be wild in front of this girl." Okay, let's see how I take you on a tour of Huashan. Thinking of this, Hou Wanjun shouted loudly again: "Stinky girl, where do you say you should go next?" Ouyang Yue said briskly: "Out of Huayin City, just go straight to Huashan." So, the team came to the foot of Mount Hua according to Ouyang Yue's instructions. Hou Wanjun asked Ouyang Yue where to go? Ouyang Yue pointed to the place with the most peaks in the south and said, "Go that way." At this time, Zhao Lei said strangely: "Hey, is Yue'er mistaken? The cave is obviously in the opposite direction, how can she say that it is the other direction?" Although Zhao Lei was puzzled by this, Ouyang Yue said that he was not allowed to make a sound, so he didn't make a sound, just followed the team.
After walking for about half an hour, the mountain road in front of me was getting narrower and more rugged, and it was no longer possible to travel on horseback. Shi Hongtao ordered the horse to be left behind and walked on the ground. They walked up and down the mountain in the direction indicated by Ouyang Yue for more than an hour, and found that there were more and more mountains in front of them, and it seemed that they would never reach the place that Ouyang Yue said.
Shi Hongtao and Hou Wanjun felt that something was wrong. Shi Hongtao gave Hou Wanjun a look. With a bang, Hou Wanjun pulled out his sword and pointed at Ouyang Yue and said, "Stinky girl, are you playing with us?" Why haven't you arrived after walking for a long time? I warn you, if you can't get there today, I'll just send you two to Hades to find it. ”
Ouyang Yue put on a straightforward look and said, "What's the matter! Do you think we don't want to hurry up? Do you think I'm willing to follow you over the mountains and make my hands and feet red and swollen? Besides, since Ye Xiaotian deliberately wanted to avoid the world, he naturally had to find a secret place. Is it possible to find a place where everyone can easily find it in the streets and alleys?" Hou Wanjun made Ouyang Yue speechless, and gave Shi Hongtao a look, and both of them felt that what Ouyang Yue said was reasonable. But she can't be endlessly consumed like this. So, Hou Wanjun said sharply again: "Then tell me, when will we be able to arrive?" Ouyang Yue Nunu mouthed, pretended to look around, and said in his heart: "Forget it, I wanted to take them for a few more laps, but I didn't expect to be tired like this, and my toes were blistered." It's better to take them directly to the cave, die early and be born sooner, so as not to suffer here. So, Ouyang Yue pointed to the apple forest in front of him and said, "Hurry up! Walk through that apple forest, and then go up the mountainside behind the apple forest to the top of the mountain." ”
Although Ouyang Yue pointed out the direction of the cave, he still didn't want the people of Shuntianmen to reach it easily. Therefore, she deliberately led them past the apple grove, hoping to attract the hounds in the apple grove to come out and bite them. Sure enough, as soon as they approached the apple grove, they heard the barking of hounds. Immediately afterward, a large herd of menacing hounds poured out. Ouyang Yue was secretly proud, thinking about how the people of Shuntianmen would deal with this group of beasts. I saw Hou Wanjun walk to the front and said: "Hmph! A group of beasts who don't know whether they are alive or dead, dare to block our way to Shuntianmen." With that, he reached out and drew his sword, trying to kill the hounds. Shi Hongtao hurriedly said: "Slow! I also don't see these dogs pleasing to the eye, so let me send them away." Hou Wanjun saw that there were many hunting dogs, and they were extremely fierce, and he was worried that Shi Hongtao would not be able to deal with them. However, as the head of the house, since he opened his mouth, he did not dare to disobey and retreated to the side.
I saw Shi Hongtao very confidently pull out the 'Cold Light Sword' he snatched from Zhao Lei, clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and waited for the group of hunting dogs to pounce together. At the moment when the group of hounds pounced on Shi Hongtao, Shi Hongtao swept with his sword. The hound in the sword was cut into two pieces by the waist, and the corpse was killed on the spot. There was only one, and because the time to save was a little behind, it didn't hit the sword. When it saw that its companions had been killed, it immediately turned around and fled. Shi Hongtao seemed to be very dissatisfied when he saw that there was a fish that had slipped through the net under his sword, and he swung the 'Cold Light Sword' sideways very angrily, and it disappeared in an instant. Just when everyone was surprised why Shi Hongtao suddenly disappeared, Shi Hongtao suddenly appeared in front of the fleeing hound dog. He raised the 'Cold Light Sword' and split the hound in half with a single sword, and the scene was bloody, shocking everyone around him.
Ouyang Yue said in his heart: "I didn't expect Shi Hongtao to be so young, not only his martial arts are weird, but also his methods are cruel. It seems that the stone and I will not end well if we fall into his hands. However, what kind of martial arts did he just use, and how could it disappear and then come out again? ”
Although Zhao Lei next to him had been chased by the hunting dogs here, he couldn't help but feel compassion when he saw them being brutally killed. Xin said: "It's really pitiful, after you die, you can go to the underworld to play with my little yellow, and remember to go far away when you encounter bad people, don't provoke them again." When I thought of his little yellow, I felt sad again.
Hou Wanjun said in his heart: "The Lancet Technique and the Hermit Technique, how can he make these two Dongying martial arts." Even if it's Shi Yinghai, I haven't seen him do it, how can he? Could it be that he has anything to do with the Dongying Lancet Gate?" Thinking of this, Hou Wanjun saw Shi Hongtao walking back and greeted him and said, "The young master is strong in martial arts, and his subordinates admire him." The martial arts that the young master made just now are very strange, and his subordinates have never seen it, so I don't know what kind of martial arts it is, can I teach it?"
Shi Hongtao said indifferently: "Manager Hou has won the award." This is a few tricks I learned randomly to fight dogs, and they can only fight mad dogs, and they have no other effect. For martial arts, in the future, I will look up to Manager Hou for more guidance. Hou Wanjun said after a few humble words: "He knew that I could see what kind of martial arts he was doing, but he didn't want to tell the truth. Could it be—" I was shocked when I thought of this. However, he soon continued to follow Shi Hongtao as if nothing had happened.
It turned out that Shi Hongtao had already listed Hou Wanjun as a suspect for poisoning his father. This trip to find Ye Xiaotian is unpredictable, if it is really Hou Wanjun's poison, then he himself will be even more dangerous. So, he used the free time of these two days to carefully study the two martial arts of the Lancet and the Hermit. Just now, he deliberately stepped forward to send the hound, firstly, to verify the power of these two martial arts, and secondly, to take the opportunity to make the ill-intentioned people around him have some scruples. It can be seen that although Shi Hongtao is young, he is a brave and resourceful ruthless character.
