Xiaoxiang Pavilion is only by the Tuojiang River, it is a famous green building in Phoenix, the girls in it are all Jiangnan women from the Han land, all of them are fair-skinned and have a good figure, Wu Nong's soft language is warm and fragrant, and the rough black skin of the barbarian girl in Miaojiang is different, so the rich families and foreign merchants in the city all linger here, and they are happy to laugh and laugh.

Mo Yan didn't know that this was the place of Fengyue, so he walked straight to the door.

"Guest officer, please" A little turtle slave inside the door looked at Mo Yan, and saw that he was carrying a bow and a sword, wearing a leather shoulder, and he was dressed like he was here to drink flower wine, so he said hesitantly.

As soon as Mo Yan entered the courtyard, an old bustard with heavy makeup came forward and asked affectionately: "The guest officer is also from the Han land, is there a familiar girl?"

"Girl?" Mo was stunned, looked around, and saw a slightly drunk man in the corridor upstairs carrying the girl into the room, and the turtle slave was carrying a large teapot and was carrying a large teapot to deliver water to each room, the red candle was shining, and the nose was full of fat powder.

Mo Yan's face flushed, he thought that Ku Ou was invited to eat at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but he didn't expect that this was a green building, so he turned around and walked out without saying a word, and heard the old bustard behind him say angrily: "Looking at his poor and sour appearance, it looks like a hunter." ”

Mo Yan came out and stood across the street, and it seemed that he had only waited outside.

In a private room on the second floor of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there is a delicate tea set on the coffee table, and a middle-aged man in brocade with red lips and white teeth and a handsome appearance took a sip of the tea bowl and said: "This tea is sweet and lovely, and you will know that it is from the hand of the virgin when you drink it. If the tea contains a bitter gas, the person who roasts the tea must be a married old woman, with rough skin and thick calluses, and the fire temperature is naturally excessive. ”

"Mr. Shen is so particular about drinking tea, he must be a rich and noble person. The woman opposite wore her hair in a bun, dressed in a Miao family outfit, and there was a faint evil aura in the charm.

Sitting by the window was an old man in a green robe, with his temples bulging high on both sides, and at first glance he knew that he was a master of the house. His gaze fell on a young man across the street, dressed in fur and carrying a bow and arrows on his shoulder, dressed like a hunter, but holding a good sword in his hand that did not match his status as a hunter, and looked a little out of place. The man stood outside the Qinglou of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, his eyes always staring at the gate as if he was waiting for someone, but he could see that this person was not a person from the rivers and lakes.

"Kuou, did you bring anything?" the middle-aged man asked directly.

Kuou took out a small fuchsia wooden box from her bosom and placed it in front of the other party, with six fingers on her right palm.

The middle-aged man carefully opened the lid of the box and saw a green cantharid, the size of a bean grain and three pairs of legs, with a large head and bulging eyes, and drooping antennae, lying in the box to sleep.

"The green cantharids only feed on saliva, do you know how to use them?" asked Kuou.

"I know this," the middle-aged man closed the lid of the box, took out a silver ticket and pushed it to Kuou, "This is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, put it away, let's clear the goods tickets." ”

Ku Ou picked up the silver ticket and stood up and said, "I hope that Mr. Shen will introduce more rich businessmen from the Central Plains, and the old woman will leave first." ”

Mo Yan's eyes kept staring at the gate of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and after a while, he saw a woman in the costume of the Miao family coming out of it, so he followed up. Almost all the people who entered and exited the Qinglou were all men, so as soon as Ku Ou in Miao costume appeared, Mo Yan immediately guessed that it was a "six-fingered Gu woman".

By the window of the private room of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the old man in the green robe said in a low voice: "Young owner, there is a person who has followed the 'Six-Fingered Gu Woman'. ”

"Go and see, if it's none of our business, don't worry about him. ”

"Yes. The old man answered, and then hurried out the door.

The streets of Linjiang were narrow and there were many pedestrians, so Mo Yan followed Kuou unhurriedly, but he didn't notice the old man in the green robe not far behind him.

There was no chance to start along the way, and when he was about to reach the Tianwang Temple, there was no one on the street, and seeing that Ku Ou was about to step on his own steps, Mo Yan hurriedly took two steps forward and shouted: "Ku Ou." ”

Kuou turned around and saw that it was a young hunter, so he asked suspiciously, "Who are you, and what are you looking for?"

Mo Yan saw that it was indeed a "six-fingered Gu woman", and without saying a word, he took out his sword and stabbed her in the chest.

Ku Ou was shocked, the wide sleeves of the black clothes waved, and a black poisonous smoke instantly covered the other party, but the young man ignored it completely, rushed out of the smoke and stabbed straight at all.

The old man in the green robe in the back frowned, this stunned boy had no way to use his sword, as if he didn't know martial arts at all.

What Ku Ou threw out was a highly poisonous shrimp toad Gu smoke, as long as she inhaled a little bit, she would immediately be poisoned and delirious, but what she didn't expect was that the poisonous smoke had no effect on this young man. Frightened, Kuou turned around and fled, but it was too late, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and the sharp sword pierced out of her chest, and then fell down the steps.

When the old man in the green robe was still hesitating to make a move, Kuou had already been killed, so he simply stood behind the tree quietly and observed.

Mo Yan pulled out his sword and slashed it down again, cut off Ku Ousheng's right palm with six fingers, threw it into the quiver on his back, and said in his mouth: "You will never be able to harm anyone in the future." Then he walked away.

The old man in the green robe was surprised in his heart, it was reported that the shrimp and toad smoke of the "Six-Fingered Gu Woman" was highly poisonous, but the young man didn't have anything to do with it, and he also cut off the six-fingered palm, which seemed to be a voucher used to pay the employer.

Before the poisonous smoke was completely dissipated, the old man in the green robe clenched his nostrils and walked to him, then reached into the arms of the deceased and took out the silver ticket and turned to leave.

Back at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the old man in the green robe recounted what he saw to the young owner, but he didn't mention anything about the silver ticket.

"The grievances of the rivers and lakes, the same is true of Miao Jiang, anyway, the green cantharid has arrived, and it will leave for Yangzhou tomorrow morning. Shao Dong said.

This time, Mo Yan had an extra heart, Ni Oh said that the "Six-Fingered Gu Po" was good at using Gu smoke, so when he called out the name of "Ku Ou" in his mouth, he immediately entered the fetal breath and no longer inhaled through his mouth and nose, so he was not affected by the "Shrimp Toad Gu Smoke".

The rivers and lakes are treacherous, and only by anticipating the enemy's opportunity can we survive.

Mo Yan returned to the inn and hurriedly settled the bill, got on the horse and left the city overnight and went straight to the direction of Guzhangping.

When Mo Remnant rushed back to the Black Witch House and threw Kuou's severed palm in front of Neo and Shabashan, both of them were taken aback.

"You killed the 'Six-Fingered Gu Woman'?" Xia Bashan said in amazement.

"Yes. Mo Yan told the story of the phoenix and his party.

"Well done, don't be crippled, get rid of this hidden danger of henchmen, and the Black Witch Liao will be peaceful from now on. Sheba Shan praised it.

Ni Oh was overjoyed, so he said to Mo Yan: "This girl will teach you the 'Soul Eye' now, but it is not possible to practice the 'Soul Eye' overnight, and it will take several years to understand the surname, are you willing to learn?"

"Yes. ”

"There is a bird called 'Ghost Face Owl' in the depths of Wuling Mountain, you have to hunt a male and female pair, the older the better, and then cut off the head and bring it back, you can start practicing. ”

"I'll go tomorrow. ”

"The ghost-faced owl comes out at night during the day, only hunting in the sinkhole a hundred feet deep, and every time it comes out, there will be a lot of 'flying tigers' accompanying it, which is extremely fierce. ”

"What is the 'Flying Tiger'?"

"It is a strange bird with wings as sharp as a knife, and if it is discovered by them when they fall down the sinkhole with a rope, they will attack in groups and cut the rope, causing people to fall down the sinkhole and have no bones left. Nioh explained.

"No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to try it. ”

"Oh well. Neoh nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Mo Yan packed his bags, still wearing Pikan with a bow and arrows on his shoulder, and set off with enough dry food, a bundle of hemp rope and a fire sickle machete in the medicine basket.

Wuling Mountain is thousands of miles in circumference, and Heiwuliao is originally located in the middle of the entire mountain range, so after walking for less than three days, Mo Yan has already come to the inaccessible deep mountain and old forest. It is a peculiar mountain with square mountains, tall stone pillars, stone walls and canyon sinkholes. The shape of the peaks and peaks is also particularly peculiar, some are like the jade shoot pen holder, there are also like the arch bridge of the Tianmen Gate, and there are like the heads of birds and beasts, which are simply ghostly and vivid.

Mo Yan's goal is to find the sinkhole, the ghost-faced owl likes to fly down the sinkhole at night to hunt, and during the day it inhabits the rock crevices of the cliffs and does not come out, so it can only be caught at night. I remember catching owls on Cangshan when I was a child, and the ghost-faced owl probably belongs to this category of birds.

At noon, Mo Yan climbed over a stone wall, and a huge sinkhole finally appeared in front of him. The sinkhole is about thousands of zhang in circumference and as deep as 100 zhang, and the steep stone walls are covered with vines and dotted with some unknown black wild fruits. Looking down, the green trees at the bottom of the pit are lush and green, as if there are small animals rushing in the meantime, birds returning, and chirping one after another, as if it is another world.

I had already searched the hut, but I only found this bundle of ropes, and the length was not enough to reach the bottom of the pit, so I had to find another way. He searched along the edge of the sinkhole for a long time, only to find a stone crack that was slanting down, and he didn't know if he could reach the bottom of the pit all the way, so he had to go down through the crack in the stone first, and then try to tie the rope down to the bottom of the pit when the rope was long enough. Seeing that it was not early, he had to hurry up, and he slowly climbed down the crack in the stone with his hands on the rattan foot. The crack in the stone is very narrow in some places, only enough to reach into his fingers, but fortunately, Mo Yan's hands are as hard and powerful as iron hooks everywhere as long as his mind is everywhere, and he can pick at the rock to the death, although there are still several times when he almost falls off the cliff.

The crack in the stone was interrupted halfway through the sinkhole, and the lower half of the rock wall was bare like a knife, and I couldn't find any place to pick my hands. There were pine trees growing in the crevices on the other side of the rock wall, but the nearest branch was more than three feet away, and the smooth rock wall could not climb at all.

He thought about it, reached out and took out the small medicine hoe from the medicine basket behind him, tied one end of the rope firmly to the wooden handle of the medicine hoe and bit it with his teeth, and then tried to throw it at the pine tree's cross-branch, the first few times failed, and finally hooked on a cross-branch, he lightly pulled the rope, and could not loosen his hand or he would take it off.

Mo Yan took a deep breath, and then dragged the rope and swung it gently, fortunately he didn't go too far, otherwise it would fall off, and after stabilizing his body, he then pulled the rope and slowly fell.

The bottom of the pit is a little closer, there are about more than ten zhang to reach, below is a turquoise pool, ripples are not xing, Mo can not swim in the water is a little nervous, I hope this water depth is not too good for yourself.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a "hissing horn" sound in the air from far and near, and looked intently, a group of strange birds with tiger skin and colorful feathers were running towards him in mid-air.
