Chapter 44: Secret
Daqing Mountain Range, Qingzhu Peak.
This Qingzhu Peak is named after the verdant and upright mangosteen on the mountain, and this mountain is also occupied by the Qingzhu Gang, which is as famous as the Wolf Gang, because of the handsome and upright mountain, and becomes their base camp.
At this moment, on the mountain road not far from Qingzhu Peak, two people walked up, one was handsome and had a trace of elegance, but when he stood there, he was like a sharp sword, and his edge was exposed.
Behind this person was a burly middle-aged man in a purple shirt.
These two people came out of the village and planned to exterminate Xiao Wensheng and Blue Wolf of the Qingzhu Gang.
The blue wolf followed behind, with this hesitation on his face, and after enduring it a few times, he still spoke: "Zhenren, let's really go to the Qingzhu Gang single-handedly? Why don't you wait for my brothers, the second brother will go and summon it, and he will be able to come over soon." ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Wensheng smiled slightly and turned around and asked.
"My blue wolf really hasn't been afraid of anyone, I just don't want to see anything unexpected happen to real people. ”
What this blue wolf said was true, Xiao Wensheng could feel that this was his heartfelt thought, and people like them, who begged for a living on the knife, really wouldn't be afraid of anything.
"Don't worry, even the guy you said about the Qingzhu Gang who invited him to the peak of the day after tomorrow is not to worry. ”
Xiao Wensheng spoke, his feet did not stop, and he walked very leisurely, as if he was walking in his back garden.
The blue wolf gritted his teeth, said no more, and followed in three or two steps.
"Now that we've entered the Qingzhu Gang's sphere of influence, their secret sentinels may have discovered us. ”
After choosing to follow Xiao Wensheng to join the Qingzhu Gang, the blue wolf began to analyze the current situation.
"Well, we have indeed been found on the other side, and someone has already gone in to report, so it's okay, we have to find them one by one. ”
The blue wolf knows that this Qingzhu gang leader has the strength of the peak of the day after tomorrow, which is not much different from himself, and now he has invited a martial artist who is at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and there are countless other high-level martial artists, and he doesn't dare to speak in such a tone as Xiao Wensheng, but Xiao Wensheng has never shown his strength from beginning to end, and he doesn't know if this time is life or death!
Xiao Wensheng didn't know what the blue wolf was thinking at the moment, and he wasn't interested in knowing, he really didn't pay attention to these ordinary martial artists, and what he was thinking about at the moment was how to find the mirage pill that Shizun said in his mouth.
Xiao Wensheng suddenly thought that this blue wolf had been mixing in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he might know something.
"Do you know about the mirage?"
Xiao Wensheng asked the blue wolf with a hint of expectation.
"Mirage?"
When the blue wolf heard Xiao Wensheng's words, he hugged his hands on his chest, supported his chin with his right hand, and fell into a state of thinking.
"Mirage?'s name is so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere!"
The blue wolf frowned slightly, struggling to find news about the mirage in his mind.
"Think about it carefully!" Xiao Wensheng's heart moved, he didn't expect that he really guessed correctly, this blue wolf really had news about Mirage.
After a while, the blue wolf's frowning brow suddenly lifted and stretched, and his face showed the color of excitement.
"I remember, I remember, when I went to Shangzong to pay tribute last year, I overheard their sect people looking for this mirage, it seems that their sect master has fallen into a strong illusion spell!"
"Shangzong?"
Xiao Wensheng wondered.
"Ordinary people may not know the existence of you cultivators, but we do, and gangs like us, if they want to survive, they must find the protection of the Xiuzhen sect, they will not intervene in our fights with other gangs, but they can protect us from the invasion of other cultivators, in exchange, we have to pay a large amount of silver taels and treasures every year to our Wild Wolf Gang's upper sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
"So that's what it looks like, so did they finally find the mirage?"
This is what Xiao Wensheng is most concerned about.
Hearing this question, a wry smile appeared on the blue wolf's face.
"I'm just an ant to them, if it weren't for the fact that I could pay a lot of tribute every year, it would be of some use to them, how could they pay attention to me, I wanted to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect to practice three or four times, but I was rejected. ”
"Then do you know the location of their sect? Can you take me to their sect? This mirage is very important to me. ”
Xiao Wensheng said earnestly.
"This ......"
The blue wolf hesitated.
"I do know where their sect is, but if I rush to bring a stranger over, I will definitely be blamed, our Wild Wolf Gang still needs their protection. ”
"I'll solve this problem, and I guarantee that the Heavenly Sword Sect won't blame you and will continue to protect your Wild Wolf Gang. ”
The blue wolf thought for a moment and nodded.
"Well, I'll trust you. ”
"Well, the people who should come are almost here, and when the things here are done, you can take me to this Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
At this moment, Xiao Wensheng deduced in his heart that this Heavenly Sword Sect must be a small sect, because the slightly famous sect was recorded in the canons of Haotian Sect, but he didn't know that this Xiuzhen Sect was so close to Haotian Sect's sphere of influence.
"The friends of the Qingzhu Gang are waiting for us, so don't let people wait for a long time!"
Halfway up the mountain road, there was a flat place that was not too big or small, and dozens of people stood in the originally small place, all holding weapons in their hands, looking fierce and vicious.
This is the scene that Xiao Wensheng and the blue wolf saw when they walked around a corner and came to this flat place.
And in front of these dozens of people, there are two people standing, one is dressed as a scholar, dressed in a white thick shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning at will, with a handsome appearance, it is easier to believe that this person is a weak scholar, and next to him stands a strong middle-aged man, dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, a hemp rope tied around his waist, short hair, a strip of cloth wrapped around his forehead, and thick bones at his fingers.
"Blue wolf, if you have been hiding in your wolf's den, I really can't do anything to you, I didn't expect you to come and die by yourself today, then it's no wonder to me. ”
The scholar-like man's voice was a little eerie, which was not quite the same as his appearance.
"Real person, this person is Zhu Changqing, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, and the one in a coarse cloth shirt next to him is the one he invited to worship, Wu Quan!"
Seeing the blue wolf's respectful demeanor, Nazhu Changqing was stunned, and his eyes when he looked at Xiao Wensheng immediately changed, after competing with this blue wolf for so long, he knew this blue wolf very well, only with considerable strength would the blue wolf be so respectful.
"This friend, it's better for you not to get involved in the affairs of our Qingzhu Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang, what kind of benefits does this Blue Wolf give you, I can pay you double, as long as you help me. ”
This bamboo evergreen smiled at Xiao Wensheng and said, although there was a kind smile on his face, it was difficult to hide the cautious look on his face.
A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Wensheng's mouth, and he said, "I'm afraid that you won't be willing to give what I want." ”
"You can say that as long as I have, I can satisfy you. ”
Zhu Changqing said happily, if you can win this person over, and then kill this blue wolf here, then this land will be up to you in the future, thinking of this, the corner of Zhu Changqing's mouth showed a smile.
"I don't know if I can lend me your head. ”
Xiao Wensheng's words made the evergreen smile freeze on his face, and it instantly covered with a gloomy look.
"Hmph, toast and don't eat and drink, I'll let you know today, my Qingzhu Gang is not a place where you can come and leave if you want, you two will sleep here today." ”
After saying it sharply, he pulled out a soft sword from his waist with a brush, and the sword body was bright cyan, with a hint of red veins in the cyan, which should be regarded as the best weapon in the sword, but now he has encountered a cultivator like Xiao Wensheng.
"I can't help myself. ”
Xiao Wensheng sneered and said all the way, and it was only now that Xiao Wensheng really felt how small the power of mortals was in front of cultivators.
The Purple Thunder Sword instantly appeared in his hand, and the True Yuan was surging into the Purple Thunder Sword, and the surging thunder was like a thunder dragon surging above the sword body.
That bamboo evergreen body that wanted to move froze the moment he saw the Purple Thunder Sword.
"Repair...... Cultivators. ”
Then his face turned pale and dead.
"Real ......"
This bamboo evergreen still wanted to quibble about something, but Xiao Wensheng made a move, and the purple thunder sword turned into a purple thunderbolt and instantly passed through his body.
Zhu Changqing lowered his head with difficulty, saw the hole-sized hole in his chest, and struggled to say something.
"Repair...... Cultivator Intervention ...... Intervene in mortal things, is ...... It's a ...... to be punished."
With an ordinary sound, Zhu Changqing's body fell heavily to the ground.
"Surrender, or death, which do you choose?"
Xiao Wensheng pointed the tip of his sword directly at Wu Quan and said.
That Wu Quan's face was already pale at this moment, just like all the Qingzhu Gang members standing here at the moment, even if Zhu Changqing was killed instantly, no one dared to say a word.
"I am willing to surrender and have news to tell the real person. ”
That Wu Quan knelt on one knee and said!
"Get up and speak, what's the news?"
"That's right, a few days ago, we accidentally obtained a jade slip, because we had seen it in the Shangzong before, so we recognized it as a messenger used by the cultivator, but we have not been able to know the information in it, the real person is a cultivator, maybe we can get some useful information from it. ”
As he spoke, Wu Quan came to Zhu Changqing's side, took out a jade slip from his waist, and respectfully handed it to Xiao Wensheng.
Stretched out his hand to take the jade slip, and when his divine sense wanted to penetrate it, he found that there was still a strong prohibition on the jade slip of communication.
"Huh?"
Xiao Wensheng let out a hint of surprise lightly, and the Stygian Phoenix Seal in his hand was pinched, easily breaking the prohibition that was not very strong.
"When it is extremely yin, the Netherworld Demon Cave, the Nine Hidden Treasures, and the Pearl of the Phantom Sea. ”
The information in it was very brief, and Xiao Wensheng could almost guess the meaning after pondering for a while.
"Is there a place around here called the Nether Cave?"
Xiao Wensheng asked the blue wolf.
"Yes, there is a deep valley dozens of miles south of here, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling will be heard in the valley all day long, gloomy and terrifying, and it is rumored that as long as the people who enter there, none of them can come out alive, and the cultivators are no exception, real people, are you going there?"
"You don't need to worry about this, after your people come over and take over the Qingzhu Gang, take me to the Heavenly Sword Sect, I still need to ask them about the situation of Mirage. ”
"Yes. The blue wolf replied and went to work, he didn't expect that the gang that had been confronting him for several years would fall like this, and his awe of Xiao Wensheng was stronger at this moment.
The mountain wind was cold, blowing Xiao Wensheng's long hair, Xiao Wensheng stood on a flat mountain rock at the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, or his heart had gone into the distance.
Mortals, it turns out that they are so vulnerable in front of cultivators, and they have the opportunity to step to this level, what is the previous rush to take the exam, even if they are admitted to the top prize, what can they do, but they are just living a life in a hurry in the mortal world.
But now, it's completely different, and he can't help but look forward to what the future road will look like.
Until this moment, Xiao Wensheng finally got rid of the shadow brought by several failed exams to his heart, and immersed all his heart in cultivation.
"Zhenren, I'm already okay here, will I take you to the Heavenly Sword Sect now?"
A wolf's voice came from behind, interrupting Xiao Wensheng's thoughts.
"Well, how far is it from here, and how long will it take?" Xiao Wensheng said, if he could get the mirage earlier, he would be able to save Senior Brother a few days earlier.
"I see that this Qingzhu Gang has a trained whip-tailed tiger, and the foot is not slow, and it can be reached in half a day. ”
Xiao Wensheng knew that Haotian Sect also had trained spirit beasts as a means of transportation, but Xiao Wensheng had never had the opportunity to sit on them, but he didn't expect that this small mortal gang would also have training spirit beasts.
"Alright, let's ride this whip-tailed tiger and set off. ”
