Chapter 40: Traces of the Green Dragon Cave
At sunrise and sunset, the two of them had already circled the mountain range, back and forth for four or five times, but there was still no trace, and there were a lot of people looking for medicinal herbs or hunting from the mountains, so the two had to leave Shuanglong Mountain helplessly and return to the summer mansion.
The backs of the two slowly disappeared from the top of the hillside road, and more than a dozen figures appeared on the mountain peak.
"Big brother, these two boys have been here for a few turns today, I don't know if it was a disciple of the Mixed Yuan Sect who came to investigate the situation. "If Xia Mingfeng and Wang Jue were still here, they would know that the man in his thirties who spoke was the woodcutter chopping wood in the mountains.
Among the dozen people, there was a young man in his twenties wearing a green shirt standing in the middle, who coughed violently, and waited for a long time before saying with some relief: "Two boys?
"Big brother, the idea is a little tricky, he doesn't pay attention to a few of us, he just wanders around the mountains all day, as if he is looking for something. ”
"Did you send your brother to watch on you?"
"I've been sent out, and I'm expected to be back in a while...."Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a hoarse voice and laughter.
"Jiji, it turns out that a few of you killed the disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect. ”
More than a dozen people instantly pulled out their weapons and kept looking at the Quartet, the man in green shirt led by him had gloomy eyes, and he forced a cough and asked coldly: "Which hero is it, it's better to show up, why sneak around in the dark." ”
"Hero, hero, Gaga, what kind of character should I be, it turned out to be a group of bandits. The hoarse laughter came out again, making everyone even more nervous, and the man in the green shirt became more gloomy, and his expression still asked quietly: "I don't know where the old man is sacred, can I show up and see it, even if I die, I can be a ghost." After speaking, his eyes quietly looked at a few brothers in front of him, his fingers shook slightly, and he saw the brothers next to him nodding gently.
"Hmph" accompanied by a cold snort, a black mist emerged in the middle of the field, and a middle-aged figure in his fifties appeared, and said softly: "I know what you are thinking, but I advise you not to do it, in case you annoy Uncle Ben and me, then I don't know what the consequences are." After speaking, there was a strong man's momentum on his body, which was mixed with killing intent, especially the viscosity of that killing intent that made everyone present secretly frightened.
The man in the green shirt calmed down a little and said: "Senior, junior Jiang Jinru, I don't know what the seniors are visiting." Looking at the momentum and killing intent exuded by the old man, the man in the green shirt also lowered his posture and said respectfully.
"Hey, you're not afraid I'll kill you guys. The old man asked curiously.
The man in the green shirt became more and more sure in his heart and said: "The seniors laughed, if the seniors want to kill people, I'm afraid that more than a dozen of us will be killed by the seniors in an instant." ”
"Hehe, it seems that you are still a little smart, and it is good to talk to smart people, but the last thing the old man dislikes is the smart person who guesses the old man's heart. As he spoke, the old man's momentum was on the side, and the killing intent was like a substance spraying towards Jiang Jinru.
Jiang Jinru was instantly shocked in his heart, feeling the double coercion of momentum and killing intent, and forcibly let himself stand there, sweating continuously.
More than a dozen people beside him suddenly tightened the weapons in their hands, and they were about to rush forward with their weapons to fight to the death with the old man, when Jiang Jinru's voice said with difficulty: "Don't do it seniors, the younger brothers are a little reckless, please forgive me..."
"Hmph" accompanied by a cold snort from the old man, Jiang Jinru felt the pressure outside his body disappear in an instant, looked at the old man in the center, and said cautiously: "I don't know if the seniors need any small help, please ask the seniors to give orders casually, the villain and a few brothers will definitely do their best to complete the tasks assigned by the seniors." ”
"Oh, it's good to deal with smart people. After speaking, he glanced at a few people around him with disdain, and then said, "Aren't you just trying to find out where those two boys came from?" Let me tell you, a young man named Xia Mingfeng and the other named Wang Jue, both of whom were disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect who came to investigate the death of the disciple. ”
The few people beside him showed bitter expressions, and Jiang Jinru was also in his heart, and said to the old man in a low voice: "I don't know what the seniors need us to do?"
The old man glanced at Jiang Jinru indifferently and said, "What does what you do has to do with me, I'm just talking casually." ”
"Senior, the villain fought hard with more than a dozen brothers a month ago with the disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and only killed the disciple of the Mixed Yuan Sect at the cost of losing two brothers and seriously injured... I'm afraid..."
"Hmph, hehe, then, the red one is the healing elixir, and the black bottle is the elixir that can temporarily improve your strength, the old man just saw a few of you fall in love, and he didn't mean anything else, do you understand?" After the old man sneered, he threw two bottles of pills at Jiang Jinru and said slowly.
"Seniors rest assured, the villain has never seen the seniors, and the seniors have never instructed the villain to do anything. ”
"Well, the son can be taught. I saw that the black qi around the old man's body flashed, and disappeared in an instant, and the old man's voice echoed in the field.
There was a person next to the "boss", and he was about to say something, but he was stopped by Jiang Jinru, who sat cross-legged and carefully observed the elixir for a while, before swallowing it into his mouth with peace of mind and began to recover from the injuries in his body.
Xia Mingfeng and Wang Jue were about to enter the city from the mountain range, when Wang Jue suddenly noticed that someone was following him behind him, and said to Xia Mingfeng with a silent face: "Senior Brother Xia, do you feel it, it seems that someone behind us has been following us." ”
"Senior brother, do you feel it too, don't worry, we'll talk about it when we enter the city. ”
The two walked into the city gate, and more than ten meters behind them, two men pretended to be mortals in a hurry, looked at each other and then stepped into the city, followed the two of them to a small alley with no one around, and suddenly found that there was a person in front of them, but the other person was gone.
"Who are you, why are you following us?" A cold and murderous voice came from behind them, and the two of them were startled, looked at each other and hurriedly turned back.
Looking at Xia Mingfeng behind him, he pretended to be casual and asked, "This little brother seems to have made a mistake, we are just outsiders, we are lost in the city, but we don't mean to follow you." ”
Before Xia Mingfeng could speak, Wang Jue, who was behind the two men, stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Xia is not as good as..."
"You adults spare your lives, spare your lives, don't kill villains. The man was frightened by Wang's words, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, watching the eyes of the two gradually become cold, like the ice and snow in winter, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the man on the side saw that his partner had begun to beg for mercy, and the trace of luck in his heart instantly dissipated without a trace, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Say, why follow us. ”
"Uncle, I said, I said, as long as you can spare the younger two..."
Wang Jue said angrily on the side: "What nonsense, hurry up, don't say it, I'll kill you now." ”
"Yes, yes, the villain is a cultivator on Longshou Mountain, followed by the big boss Jiang Jinru, more than a month ago, a monk of the Mixed Yuan Sect didn't know what he was looking for on Shuanglong Mountain, and finally after our inquiry, we learned that the monk seemed to have traces of the Qinglong Cave in the Shuanglong Cave, and then reported the matter to the big boss..."
"And then!"
"Later, the big boss took more than 20 brothers, ambushed in a half-waisted cold pool in Shuanglong Mountain, and finally lost two brothers, and the big boss was seriously injured before the monk of the Mixed Yuan Sect was killed, and the body also fell into the cold pool, because the cold pool went down more and more cold, there was no physical cultivation among us, so there was no salvage in the water
Today we found that the two masters kept wandering around the mountains, and seemed to be looking for something, so the big boss let the two masters follow the two masters with a smile... Uncle, just spare us, all this was done by the big boss, not us. ”
The two men told the cause and effect of the whole thing one after the other, and kept kowtowing to Xia Mingfeng and Wang Jue to beg for mercy.
"It seems that Senior Brother has really discovered the Qinglong Cave in the Shuanglong Cave, so have you figured out the specific location of the Qinglong Cave?" Xia Mingfeng asked the two kneeling on the ground.
"Just a month ago, the big boss led the brothers to turn over the entire Longshou Mountain, and there was no trace of the Qinglong Cave. ”
Wang Jue and Xia Mingfeng glanced at each other, and asked Xia Mingfeng's opinion: "Then junior brother, what should the two of them do?"
The two brothers, who were kneeling on the ground, hurriedly bowed down to Xia Mingfeng, hoping that Xia Mingfeng could spare their lives.
Xia Mingfeng looked at the two of them and didn't speak, suddenly purple-red gas came out of his body, and he quickly ran towards the two kneeling people, his eyes flashed red, and the purple-red gas rolled with bright red blood, rushed out of his body, and flowed back to Xia Mingfeng's body and finally disappeared, only to see the two people kneeling alive on the ground, becoming two dry corpses.
"Let's go, Senior Brother Wang, let's go check on Shuanglong Mountain tomorrow. ”
Wang Jue looked at Xia Mingfeng, who had already turned away, shook his head, and sent out a fireball in his hand and landed on the two dried corpses, starting to burn, and then followed Xia Mingfeng in the direction of Xia Mansion.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" An old man suddenly appeared on top of the house not far away, and if Jiang Jinru could definitely recognize it again, this person was the old man who had just talked to him on the mountain.
"Nope"
"Don't you feel the hidden masters of the Mixed Yuan Sect at all?"
"Did you say you didn't send someone to protect you?"
"I don't know, but I think it's a little strange" After the old man finished speaking, his eyes kept skimming in the direction behind him, and his eyes gestured to the old man.
At the bottom of the room sat a middle-aged man in a plain robe, staring at the two people on the roof from a distance, a sneer came out of the corner of his mouth and whispered to himself: "Hmph, Demon Dao, is it at this level?"
On Shuanglong Mountain, after Jiang Jinru sat cross-legged for half a day, his complexion became ruddy, and he felt the injury slightly, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart: "Huh, it seems that my injuries will be all healed in two days." ”
"Congratulations Big Brother"
"Congratulations to Boss"
More than a dozen people all hurriedly said, Jiang Jinru smiled and waved his hand, a man walked up to him and said in a low voice: "Boss, stump we really have to do what the old man said?"
"Silence, we can't do this, if they find out, then we won't be able to live, after doing this vote, we will leave, and we will not appear in Xiazhou in the future." Jiang Jinru pulled the man, covered his mouth and looked around, and waited for a long time before whispering.
"But," the man was about to say something, when he heard Jiang Jinru whisper, "No, but, if we don't do this, I'm sure that old man will never give up." ”
"Boss, that old man seems to be a demon man"
"Did the people who went to follow the two teenagers come back?" Jiang Jinru seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked.
"The two of them went for a long time, and there was no letter at all. ”
"Forget it, leave the two of them alone, it's estimated that the two of them are dead... Old Five, in the past two days, you go to the city to investigate the situation of the two teenagers, remember to be careful..."Jiang Jinru said after a while.
