Forty burials in the desert

The four of them made up their minds and checked whether they were injured, the goshawk had some abrasions, but for him, a small injury was nothing at all, and the other three were only stained with some beast blood, but otherwise unharmed.

Zhemei smiled: "Brother Goshawk, it turns out that Sister Axiu's kung fu is so much higher than yours. ”

Goshawk didn't think it was angry at all, but said happily: "What you said is right, Ah Xiu's kung fu is taught by me, the more powerful she is, the better I teach Goshawk." ”

When Li Shuxiu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, it's just that the meteor sword that my eldest brother gave me is extremely sharp, and my own kung fu is mediocre." In fact, she is holding a divine blade, although she did not use the sword move of the meteor sword, but she passed on the sword technique with her teacher, accompanied by the maggot and fly corpse sea sword heart method, so as to fight the enemy, and it is rare to meet opponents in the rivers and lakes. Especially when encountering those who rely on the blade, when encountering the meteor sword, they can only bow to the wind and be captured.

Zhemei still wanted to ask, and the goshawk said: "Let's run away quickly, those beasts were merciful before, and they seemed to be doing something crooked, if we are a little careless, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fly with wings." ”

The other three were frightened by him, and hurriedly ran forward, Li Shuxiu asked, "How do you know that they are merciful to their subordinates?

The goshawk said: "I have also heard of such beasts, called the Iron Claw Tree, they are quite human, in ancient times there were people who bred these Tree Skin, and regarded them as bandits, their claws are particularly sharp, and their fur is as rough as sand, as long as they are touched by their claw hooks, they are drenched in blood on the spot, and their flesh and bones are blurred. But when they were with us before, they never stretched out their claws, but only used some means of grabbing. It's up to us to repel them. ”

Li Shuxiu thought about the situation just now, knew that this was indeed the case, and asked, "What does the eldest brother mean, they want to catch us?"

The goshawk nodded, with a worried look, and said, "These tree wrasses must have been domesticated here to catch pedestrians who strayed into the jungle."

"Yes," he said, "I have often heard of people missing from this town of Binyou, and some people have seen ape-like beasts break into the homes of others and rob the men and women of the town. The townspeople thought it was a ghost, and although they panicked, they were helpless. ”

Goshawk glared at her and asked, "This news is so important, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhemei said apologetically: "I thought it was just a rural legend, and I didn't believe it at first." ”

Goshawk thought again: "Why did these iron-clawed tree wrasses suddenly withdraw? Could it be that they felt that they could not defeat us, so they were cowardly? But Ah Xiu and I tried our best to kill more than a dozen tree wrasses, and there are hundreds of tree wrasses in this forest, if they blindly attack, we may not be able to stop them." ”

The four of them walked farther and farther in the forest, and Zhimei observed the sun, discerned the direction, and left marks everywhere, lest they get lost in the forest, and after walking for a long time, the trees became sparse, and they saw a path appear in the snow in the forest, winding forward, and burrowing into the snowy forest. The goshawk looked down the path and saw two short, thin figures standing beside the path. At this time, the sky was getting dark, the shadows of the trees were spreading, and the remnant sun was flowing like blood, and the two people were shrouded in the afterglow, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they didn't know whether they were humans or ghosts.

Li Shuxiu saw that the two people turned around, and seemed to be looking at them as well, and he was wary in his heart, and shouted from afar: "Hello!"

I heard the two of them shouting at the same time: "Hello!" The voice was old and weak, and the qi was insufficient, these two people must be old people in their last years.

Li Shuxiu saw that the two people's kung fu was not high, and they were a little relieved, and the four of them walked closer, and saw these two old men, a man and a woman, wearing wrinkled long clothes, hunched over, ugly faces, pockmarked faces, each holding a small lantern in their hands, and the lamp had not been lit at the moment. Strings of purple beads hang from the lantern poles, which tinkle and sound quite pleasantly. When they saw the four of them, they smiled happily, and the old woman greeted them and said, "We don't see a few people in this barren mountain and wild land all year round, and it is rare to meet such people, and I am really very happy to meet such a woman." ”

The old man also said, "Where are you guys going? It's getting late, and it's inconvenient to hurry, so it's better to go to our house to rest and rest." ”

Seeing that the two old men were very similar except for the slight difference in their clothes and hair, the goshawk was suspicious and asked, "Two old men, you are so late, walking in this dangerous forest, that is the real danger." Why are you waiting on the side of the road? Do you know we're coming?"

The old woman's face changed when she arrived, but the old man was extremely calm, and he said, "Before, those tree wrasses stirred up the world in the forest, and we old couples have lived in the forest all our lives, and when we saw the wind and grass, we knew that someone was coming. ”

The goshawk sneered and said nothing.

Li Shuxiu knew the goshawk's intentions, and also saw that the two old men were not good-intentioned, so he immediately bowed to the two and said: "Two seniors, the four of us trespassed into the fairy land, and the etiquette was not good, and the two seniors were asked to be magnanimous and forgive us." The four of us have important things to do now, and the kindness of the old-timers, we can only understand it, and the four of us will leave. With that, the four of them arched their hands at the same time and walked past the two old men.

The two old men suddenly trembled with anger on their faces, and the old woman shouted, "Don't you toast or eat and drink!" Stretching out his hand, he took out a black whistle from the lantern and made a gesture to blow it.

The goshawk brushed the ground, pulled out the long sword, the blade flashed, stabbed at the two old men, only to hear a few times, the two old men were shocked, hurriedly retreated, only to see that the whistle was broken into two, the goshawk sword blade was holding a purple bead, was dripping on the sword turning, his long sword did not move, the internal force on the sword circled, driving the bead to rotate, the use of internal force is exquisite, admirable.

When the two old men saw him suddenly use such a skill, they were shocked at the same time, knowing that they were invincible, they opened their short legs and walked back tremblingly. The goshawk shouted, "Give you back the beads!" The long sword flicked, and the beads flew forward, and happened to land on the old man's chest, and the old man turned back and scolded: "If you fall into my hands, you will definitely suffer a lot!" The two quickened their pace and disappeared into the forest in an instant.

Li Shuxiu saw the two of them walking away and asked, "What is the origin of the two of them, why did they trick us into going with them?"

Goshawk muttered, "They must be the ones who raised those tree wrasses, and the reason why they showed up was to trick us into following them back to our residence and arrest us." These two old guys are not high in martial arts, and when they saw that their tricks could not be accomplished, they could only leave in disgrace. There are strange things everywhere in this Pujia Ridge, don't stay, Miss Zhemei, let's get out of here quickly. ”

Suddenly, only to hear a soft sound from behind, the goshawk hurriedly turned around, only to see a man in a black robe falling from the tree, his clothes fluttering, as light as snow, light skills are extremely clever, and then look at the person's appearance, I saw that he was about thirty years old, with black hair, and his appearance was quite handsome, but his face was engraved with lines, and the left half of the lines were flying, like black fire, and the right half of his face was not unusual. He fell to the ground and stood silently, already with an extra ghost sword in his hand.

Zhemei's body trembled, her eyes were filled with fear, and she exclaimed, "Why did you chase here?"

Goshawk knew that the enemy's martial arts were extremely high, and he couldn't see through his details for a while, so he stepped forward, the secret shadow sword was unsheathed, and asked, "Are you a person from the Ghost Sword Gate?"

The man suddenly showed a grim smile, and he said, "You are the Fire Eagle Goshawk? I heard that your Snow Lotus Sect has been in the limelight in the rivers and lakes for many years, and you are about to learn your methods. ”

Li Shuxiu saw that the enemy was not easy to deal with, so he stood side by side with the goshawk and said: "Big brother, now is not the time to fight alone, let's both go together and defeat him as soon as possible." ”

Goshawk nodded and said, "Yes, he can find us, and other people from the Ghost Sword Sect may not be able to." Let's win quickly. ”

Changge looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "How great is the four protectors of my Dao Snow Lotus Sect, when you meet the masters of our Ghost Sword Sect, aren't you scared and panicked? ”

Before the words fell, I saw a person walking out of the forest slowly, this person was extremely thin, a head was cone-shaped, his eyebrows drooped, as if he was angry and sad, and he was also holding a ghost sword in his hand, Changge saw him, he was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "Ghost shadow, why did you come so fast?"

The ghost replied in a low voice, "Do you think you are the only one who has guessed their route?" The master of the door has issued an order to chase and kill the four ghosts, and I happen to be close to the left, so I will chase after them. His voice was weak, but occasionally he would shout a word or two hysterically.

Zhemei suddenly held the goshawk's arm, the goshawk felt that her palm was cold, although it was freezing all around, but the sweat on her forehead was dripping, and she said softly: "'Ghost' barren tree, the four ghosts of the Ghost Sword Gate have come to the second, we can't fight hard, let's run for our lives." ”

The goshawk glanced at Li Shuxiu and asked her to run first with the other two, Li Shuxiu shook his head slightly, with a smile in his eyes, and his long sword fluttered like a flying flower, posing to meet the enemy. Goshawk sighed and said, "You deal with that ghost shadow, and I deal with that pretentious." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, I heard dense footsteps in the distance of the jungle, and the goshawk was surprised in his heart, only to hear Qingmu Dong shouting over there: "I saw Lord Arashi, they have met the enemy, let's go up and support quickly!"

Changge scolded: "Ghost Shadow, you're annoying enough by yourself, why do you want to bring a group of guys who are in the way?"

Arabic tree said lightly: "Lao Tzu is not as energetic as you, the people of the Snow Lotus Sect are not bad at kung fu, instead of fighting alone, it is better to catch turtles in an urn, you say, is this the reason?"

Changge sighed and said with a smile: "It's just that you are so weird. ”

The goshawk Yungong passed into the secret, and said to Li Shuxiu: "The situation is critical at the moment, we can only run, there is a cave behind your left head, it seems to be extremely deep, I don't know where to lead, I will make a move towards them, you will run immediately, don't hesitate, do you hear?"

Seeing that the goshawk was so decisive, he knew that he must be sure, so he didn't say much at the moment, just stared at the pursuers of the Ghost Sword Gate, and saw that there were at least 20 people behind them, and the Qingtang Lord, the Eternal Helm Lord, and the Great Helm Lord were among them.
