Chapter 6: A sword seals the throat

But it is said that the Tang Gate has been standing in Shuzhong Mountain City for hundreds of years, during this period of dynasty change, the stars have changed, the tide on the rivers and lakes has ebbed and flowed, and even the head of the Tang family has not known how many generations have changed, among them, there is the eloquent and strategic leader of the Tang Sect disciples once killed in the Central Plains Vertical and Horizontal Martial Arts, and there are also those who are scheming, insidious and vicious, manipulating the disciples to hide in the shadows to make waves, poisoning and assassination to turn the rivers and lakes upside down, and there is no virtue, no talent, mediocrity, in his hands Tang Men has been inherited for hundreds of years and almost collapsed.

At this time, the owner of Tangjiabao is named Tang Hesong, this person is very deep in the city, and he always has an elusive smile on his face whenever and wherever he is, even when he is angry and kills people with heavy hands, so the people of the rivers and lakes are called Smiling Yama.

It's just that although the Tang Hesong martial arts are high, he is extreme and narrow-minded and can't tolerate things, so that in recent years, the Tang Sect has had few contacts with the major sects in the Central Plains, so although the Tang Sect has inherited more than ten generations of secret weapons and light skills to make poison and quench poison, it still makes every person in the rivers and lakes secretly palpitate, but it can only shrink in a corner of the border of Shuzhong and is powerless to plot the Central Plains, and the status of the huge Tang Jiabao in the martial arts at this time is insignificant.

However, Tang Hesong has obviously not been comfortable in the past few days, Tang Jiabao is located in Shuzhong Mountain City, in recent days, there have been a number of Tang disciples mysteriously disappeared and life and death are uncertain, and even yesterday evening, Tang Hesong, the brother of the door owner Tang Hesong, went out to run errands and lost contact with the door.

Tang Hesong vaguely felt that what force should be eyeing Tang Jiabao, if it was just like this, he was not afraid, if the huge Tang Gate did not have some unknown hole cards, how could it still be in the rivers and lakes after hundreds of years.

Whether it is the Blood Divine Sand, the Meridian Killing Needle, or the Throat Sealing Tree Fruit, each of these is a desperate murderous thing that has only been passed down from hand to hand among the heads of each generation of the Tang Sect in the past dynasties.

I don't know how many times these treasures have helped the heads of the Tang Sect in the past dynasties to survive the disaster of destroying the door and destroying the nest, but few people in the rivers and lakes know the existence of these secret treasures, just because people who have seen these secret weapons of the Tang Sect for hundreds of years will hardly have the chance to see the sun the next day.

What surprised Tang Hesong the most was that so many days had passed, but he didn't even know who his opponent was, how many people and horses there were, and the geometry of the map, the huge Tang Jiabao was like a peerless archer at this time, but he was locked in a dark room without any lights, and he had a bow that shot the sun and the arrow through the clouds but could not find the direction of the opponent.

But it is said that Xiao Wanshan has been in Shuzhong for a while, but he can't find the slightest clue about the throat sealing tree fruit after a secret visit in the mountain city, and he has been lurking near Tangjiabao these days, looking for the lonely Tang Sect disciples to torture the whereabouts of the throat sealing tree fruit, but more and more people have been killed in the past few days, but the news of the throat sealing tree fruit has always been nothing.

Yesterday, Xiao Wanshan finally got impatient and ambushed Tang Hezhu, the younger brother of Tang Hesong, the master of the Tang Sect. This Tang Hezhu's martial arts are not weak in the Tang Sect, Xiao Wanshan on the one hand is afraid of exposing his identity and ruining the teacher's big accident and can't let go, on the other hand, he is afraid that the secret weapon of the Tang Sect is vicious, and it took a lot of effort to capture Tang Hezhu alive, but he didn't expect that even Tang Hezhu didn't know the existence of the throat sealing tree fruit under torture, Xiao Wanshan suddenly felt very troubled and wanted to kill him.

Tang Hezhu confided in order to save his life: "This senior, there are many secret medicines and secret weapons in the Tang Sect that have only been passed down among the heads of the family in the past dynasties, and the rest of the people are not heard of even if they are the flesh and blood relatives of the head of the family. Although Tang did not know the throat sealing tree fruit required by his predecessors, his brother was the contemporary head of the family, so as long as it was all the things of the Tang Sect, he would definitely know it. ”

Xiao Wanshan lowered his voice and said coldly: "Your Excellency is very calculating, and regardless of Brother Ling, Tang Hesong, the Tang Sect Master's martial arts may not be able to win, even if he is lucky enough to win a move and a half, what if the Tang Sect Master refuses to cooperate." ”

Tang Hezhu saw the fierce light in Xiao Wanshan's eyes, and the Xueliang steel knife in his hand was up and down in front of his eyes, gritting his teeth and saying ruthlessly: "As long as the hero is willing to spare my life, I have a way not to be afraid that my eldest brother will not give in." Then he saw that Xiao Wanshan seemed to be quite moved, so he whispered a few private words to Xiao Wanshan.

Since Tang Hezhu's disappearance, there have been rumors inside and outside Tangjiabao, everyone from top to bottom is panicked and strictly guarded, and every time the disciples go out of the fort to do business, more than a dozen or even dozens of people must go together, and there is a signal of contact with him, Xiao Wanshan has no good chance to start, and he does not dare to act rashly again for fear of exposing Xingzang.

On this day, Tang Hesong was sitting in the study and pondering the strategy of the enemy, for several days, he strictly forbade the disciples of the sect to move alone, and strictly ordered them to carry contact fireworks with them, and the whole faction was guarding Tangjiabao for a while, but such a retreat is not a long-term solution after all, and I am afraid that the people in the door will be scattered after a long time.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt a figure outside the window flash, and then the sound of 'wave' breaking through the air made a loud noise. Tang Hesong's ears moved, and he knew that there was a hidden weapon attacking, Huo Ran was startled, he was a good hand at poisoning, but he was afraid that the hidden weapon would be poisonous, and in the blink of an eye, he turned over his hand and untied his coat, shook it open, and wrapped it up, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a stone covered with white paper.

Tang Hesong carefully unfolded the paper, skimmed the contents, and turned around for a moment to come to the inner room of the study, which had nothing but a bookshelf and a desk, even so Tang Hesong still looked around to make sure that no one was hiding on the side, so he moved a mechanism on the bookshelf against the wall with his body, and the stainless steel bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing a storage square underground, Tang Hesong carefully pulled a few mechanisms, took a few things from the square and put them in his arms, then recovered the position of the machine, moved back to the bookshelf and touched the traces on the ground to chase out the door。

In a dense forest on the eastern outskirts of the mountain city, two figures faced each other in the wind, Xiao Wanshan spoke hoarsely and said first: "The younger generation has long admired the demeanor of the Tang Sect, and it is really a blessing to see it today. ”

Tang Hesong said with a smile: "What did Your Excellency say, Tang someone is so famous and poor in a mountain city, how can he have any style, but he dares to ask Your Excellency where the fairy town is, why is he working my Tang Jiabao." ”

Xiao Wanshan laughed and said: "It's not worth mentioning to learn at the end of the next year, this time I came to Shuzhong, in order to ask the Tang Sect Master for something, and I hope that the Tang Sect Master will not refuse." ”

Tang Hesong was furious, and sneered: "Your Excellency has been kidnapping several disciples of our sect for several days, and a few days ago, my brother Tang Hezhu went out of the fort to do business, and his life and death are still uncertain. ”

Xiao Wanshan was not annoyed by Tang Hesong's ridicule, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the contemporary castle master of Tangjia Fort laughed at the old man of Yan Luo Tang and killed ruthlessly, and in the next thought, he would not be so angry for the lives of a few disciples in the fort, as for the second master of Tang Hezhu Tang, he had no choice in the next place, but he just asked for something to go to a well-thought-out place to rest." ”

Tang Hesong was cold by nature, and he didn't put the lives of a few disciples in his eyes, that is, the life and death of the second brother Tang Hezhu, in fact, he didn't care about it, but he was thinking about himself, the person in front of him had a strange face and unknown origin, and he was able to sneak into the heavily guarded Tangjiabao quietly, and thought that although his second brother Tang Hezhu's martial arts were far inferior to himself, he was by no means mediocre in Tangjiabao, and he was also quietly captured and humiliated by this person, After thinking for a moment, it is better to listen to the needs of the other party, if it is really an ordinary thing, you might as well be a good fate for a smooth person, and at the moment he smiled angrily: "Since Your Excellency is so simple, my brother is fine, if Tang refuses again, it seems that he is not generous enough, I don't know what Your Excellency wants." ”

Xiao Wanshan looked at Tang Hesong carefully with his eyes and said, "Seal ~ throat ~ tree ~ fruit." ”

When Tang Hesong heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and even the signature smile on his face instantly faded a little.

Xiao Wanshan observed the words and knew that he must have asked the right person this time.

But seeing the smile on Tang Hesong's face, he smiled again: "Shuzhong is rich in products, and there are many crazy monkeys, horse monkeys, wild fruits, and tree fruits. ”

Xiao Wanshan said lightly: "The Tang Sect Master said with a smile, I heard that this Throat Tree Fruit is a treasure in Shu, not a mundane thing that the Sect Master just mentioned. ”

Tang Hesong sighed lightly, "Oh? This is really unheard of by asking the old man, I'm afraid this time I want to let Your Excellency run empty." As he spoke, he had a smile on his face, but his right hand in his robe had already touched the skin bag containing the Blood God Sand on his waist.

It is extremely difficult to refine this blood god sand, it is a few masterpieces that the Tang Sect has practiced with the strength of the whole sect when it was at the peak of several generations, and it has not only resolved many sect disasters so far, but now there is only this bag left on Tang Hesong's waist, it is really a killer thing, when it is launched, the blood god sand between his hands is overwhelming, if the opponent does not have an excellent way to deal with it, he only needs to be a little careless and the exposed skin is stained with a little, which is the bleak end of eroding the bone and rotting the marrow and turning the flesh and blood.

Tang Hesong saw that the other party knew about the secret that the Tang Sect did not pass on, such as the Throat Sealing Tree Fruit, and moved to kill.

Xiao Wanshan saw Tang Hesong's actions clearly on the side, and said with a smile: "This is the younger generation's sudden and presumptuous, since this throat tree fruit has never even heard of the old Tang hero, then the huge Shuzhong Mountain City is probably only known to one person." ”

Tang Hesong said in surprise when he heard this: "Oh? ”

Xiao Wanshan said with a smile: "This person is no one else, it is the younger brother Tang Hemei Tang Sanye, it's a pity that the younger generation heard that Tang Sanye died young." ”

In fact, Xiao Wanshan has been pouring his whole body into his legs since the moment Tang Hesong put his hand on his waist, and he was about to evacuate first when Tang Hesong in front of him made a slight move, but at this moment, seeing that Tang Hesong heard that he mentioned the name of Tang Hemei in Tang Sanye, the right hand on his waist was suddenly loosened, and he knew that what Tang Hezhu said to him the day before yesterday was true, and he made up his mind for a while.

I saw Tang Hesong smile and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency has also heard of the name of my hard-working third brother, but it is a pity that my younger brother died of a serious illness in his early years, which really broke my heart day and night as an elder brother." He sighed, as if he was embarrassed.

Xiao Wanshan said strangely: "Oh, the juniors have heard some other sayings, but it is said that Tang Hemei and Tang Sanye were killed by traitors in the door. ”

Shuzhong is surrounded by mountains, although it has entered the area of Qiushan City, it is still very warm, the warm wind hits the face, Tang Hesong unconsciously shivered at this time, as if the blood in his cavity was also a little cold, and his right hand that had just relaxed touched his waist again, he stepped forward and said forcefully: "Your Excellency said that you laughed." ”

Xiao Wanshan took a step back quietly, and said with a smile: "What the Tang Sect Master said is that some words are just jokes when they are said to others, but if these crazy words come out of the mouth of Second Master Tang, I am afraid that others will not take this as a joke, hahaha." Xiao Wanshan's voice fell, and Tang He, who was on the opposite side, loosened his feet, and the whole person seemed to have lost his strength.

It turned out that Tang Jie, the master of the Tang Sect in the previous generation, had three sons, named Tang Hesong, Tang Hezhu, and Tang Hemei.

Among the three sons, the eldest son Tang Hesong has the best talent and the highest martial arts, but he is a person with extreme strength and narrow heart, and the second son Tang Hezhu is mediocre and has no achievements, so the third son Tang Hemei is slightly inferior to the eldest brother Tang Hesong in martial arts, but he has a splendid chest that can be completed.

Tang Jie was already old at that time, and intended to pass on the position of the master of the door to the third son Tang Hemei, that day the father and son were in the secret room of Tangjiabao to hand over all kinds of matters passed down by word of mouth through the ages, Tang Hesong, who had already secretly hidden in the secret room, suddenly became difficult, Tang Jie was old and Tang Hemei's martial arts were inferior to his brother, and the two of them were negligent in the secret room inside the door, Tang Hesong had a calculating and unintentional sudden poison, and actually harmed his father and third brother in one fell swoop, and thus usurped the position of the master of the Tang Gate。

Although Tang Hezhu saw through the evil deeds of the eldest brother, he has always been timid and mediocre, and he is very afraid of the eldest brother and does not dare to speak out, and in recent years, he has trembled and did not dare to show the slightest abnormal behavior, for fear of attracting the disaster of death, until some time ago, Tang Hezhu was captured by Xiao Wanshan and died, and he had to tell Xiao Wanshan the secrets that had been hidden in his heart for several years in exchange for his own life.

Tang Hesong was suddenly exposed for killing his father and killing his brother, and he felt like he had lost his soul for a while, until he heard Xiao Wanshan say again: "In this way, I really don't know anything about the Tang Sect Master who sealed the throat tree fruit." When Tang Hesong came back to his senses, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoyou, after you mentioned it, the old man vaguely remembered this throat tree fruit, which is not a rare thing, that is, a kind of tree fruit that can be seen everywhere in Shu, so that I couldn't remember it for a while, it just so happened that the old man happened to have a simple gift to Xiaoyou, but it was a deep affection, but my brother who was not a weapon had to bother Xiaoyou to return it." ”

Xiao Wanshan said with a smile: "That's natural, and I'm happy to reunite with the old heroes in the future." Tang Hesong couldn't help but take out a small bag from his arms.

Xiao Wanshan said again: "The younger generation has also heard a little about the shape of this throat tree fruit, and he also bothered the Tang Sect Master to open the package and let me see if it is what I need. ”

Tang Hesong carefully unfolded the package as he said, only to see that under the layers of cloth, a round and black fruit was like a black pearl exuding a terrifying glow.

Xiao Wanshan saw that it was indeed the shape of the throat-sealing tree fruit in the teacher's mouth, so he put down his heart and said cautiously: "The master of the Tang Sect really believes in people, and he doesn't dare to bother the master of the Tang Sect in the next ten thousand, please put this thing on the ground and the younger generation will take it for himself." ”

Tang Hesong put the small bag on the ground and took a few steps back, Xiao Wanshan stepped forward, but saw that the throat tree fruit was only revealed for a moment, but some of the wild grasses around the small bag had withered, knowing that this substance was very poisonous, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, held his breath and condensed, took the small bag as Tang Hesong did before, carefully wrapped it and put it in his arms.

Only then did he take a few steps back and arched his hand at Tang Hesong and said: "Second Master Tang is taking a break in the Qingshan Inn in the mountain city, and the younger generation has to stop his acupoint in order to let Second Master Tang rest at ease, but Su asked Tang Sect to learn amazingly Second Master Tang's skills are profound, and at this moment, I don't know if he broke through the acupoint and left, if you want to come to Tang Sect, if you go immediately, you should be able to catch up with the sibling reunion, and I will leave here." ”

Although Tang Hesong hated Xiao Wanshan in front of him, he had no time to stop him at this time when he left. For Tang Hesong, immediately rushing to the Qingshan Inn to kill the second brother Tang Hezhu is the most urgent thing at the moment, otherwise once Tang Hezhu breaks through the cave and escapes, leaving a message to him, Tang Hesong, the position of the master of the sect, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit so firmly, as long as he kills Tang Hezhu, even if there are more rumors outside, he will not be able to shake the position of his master.
