When the goshawk heard what she said, he seemed to be trying to be unkind, and his face was cloudy for a while, and he thought, "Does she think that her master is in the way?"

Shi Nan didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "I've been a saint for more than twenty years, and I haven't had it since the establishment of the Gu Poison Sect. Now, my master has been in retreat for two years, and during that time, he has never gone out, and he has sent someone to bring her food, but she doesn't even touch it. He lowered his voice and said carefully: "Many of my followers thought she was dead, but no one dared to believe it. ”

Goshawk asked, "If she dies, will you be able to become the sect leader?"

Shi Nan sighed, "That's how conventions should be. I don't come to be humble, with my merits and martial arts, there are few people in the Gu Poison Sect, and only the master can compare with me. Aside from Master, I am the only one who has read the first half of the Zhenjiao scriptures in their entirety. As long as my master dies, it is reasonable to be reasonable, and the position of the sect leader is none other than me. ”

Goshawk thought to himself: "Speaking of which, you still don't want to put your master to death?" looked uncertain, and was about to persuade him, but he heard Shi Nan say: "Our city is called Qianyou Village, and there is a hidden dragon cave ten miles west of the wall. Since the master entered the cave to cultivate two years ago, he has never come out again. As a result, her life and death are unknown, and there is no news. From now on, the position of the sect leader is useless, she does not take care of things, and even if I give orders occasionally, I always have a bad name, and I have been hindered in every way. ”

The goshawk asked, "Then why don't you send someone to take a look?"

Shi Nan said: "In the hidden dragon cave, only the sect leader can go there. As soon as the rest of the sect members approached, thousands of wooden snakes attacked, and no matter how strong your martial arts were, you were also torn to minced meat in the blink of an eye. Although we wanted to find her, we really couldn't get closer. In the past, the wooden snake was not fierce by nature, and the person who delivered the food could walk ten feet in front of the cave. Put down your meal and leave. But in the past few months, the wooden snake has become extremely vicious, and even if it is far away from the cave, it is also in danger of being injured. ”

Goshawk said, "What's in the Hidden Dragon Cave? Why is it so tightly guarded?"

Shi Nan said: "Originally, the cave contained the scriptures of my town, which was very important, so the predecessors set up a magic circle to guard against it. Later, the scriptures were taken away by the wicked, and the secret methods outside the cave could not be removed. My master said that the cave is clean, which is convenient for concentrating and cultivating. A few years ago, she was able to get out of the cave in a month at most, but now that two years have passed, she is most likely not to be spared, but those evil old women are talking nonsense with their eyes open, insisting that they want to see people in life and corpses in death, and they will not let me ascend to the position of sect leader. ”

Goshawk pondered for a moment. said: "I will go to the Hidden Dragon Cave for you to see your master's situation, if she is alive, I persuade her to give way to you." If she dies, I will bring her body out. ”

Shi Nanxi said: "I won't tell you, I really want you to help me." I'm afraid that no one will be able to help me achieve my wish except you. ”

Goshawk thought to himself: "Lao Tzu is going." Nine deaths, you can still laugh? That's it, I owe you a lot. No matter how dangerous this trip is, I can't shirk it. ”

Seeing that the goshawk was silent, Shi Nan guessed his thoughts, and said softly: "You complain that I don't feel sorry for you and push you into the fire pit, right?"

The goshawk smiled: "What did the Holy Maiden sister say? You saved my little life, even if you want to kill me and eat me, I will never complain, let alone such a trivial matter?"

Shi Nan said angrily: "How could I slaughter you and eat you? Do you think I am a cannibal barbarian?" and held the palm of the goshawk's hand again, and said: "It's not that I am cold by nature, and I don't care about your life and death, this matter must be yours." ”

Hearing her say things like "It's none other than you" one after another, Goshawk was curious and asked, "I'm not too sure, why are you more at ease than me?"

Shi Nan said: "A few days ago, when you fainted, my subordinates happened to pass by, and saw that you were surrounded by many wooden snakes, they opened their mouths and spat letters, as if they hated and feared you, but they did not dare to step forward, and after a long time, they scattered and fled. My subordinates thought you were a mountain god and a mountain ghost, so they carried you into the walled city. ”

Goshawk said strangely: "Is there such a thing? Why are those wooden snakes afraid of me? Could it be that I haven't bathed for a few days and my body stinks, and these wooden snakes stay away from me." ”

Shi Nan burst out laughing and said, "You did stink and dirty. But the wooden snakes have no sense of smell, it is said that they are born in the womb of a tree, not living creatures, but they are all poisonous and vicious, and they are the most noble poisonous dragons in our Gu Poison Sect. ”

Goshawk said strangely: "Born in a tree fetus?" thought about it slightly, and immediately had some eyebrows. This jungle, from east to west, stretches for hundreds of miles, like a sea of trees. That Chang Xuan fought with the flies, and merged with the huge dense forest, although he won, but the strength of the flies' martial arts also made everything in this jungle secretly afraid. The wooden snake must have recognized the true body of the goshawk, so it was hostile and did not dare to make a mistake.

He figured out this verse, his confidence doubled, and he got up and said: "Without further ado, the soldiers are fast, just watch my goshawk show his skills and solve problems for the little sister of the Holy Maiden." ”

Heather was smiling, as beautiful as a peony, seeing the goshawk's extraordinary spirit and heroic posture, she secretly admired in her heart, and thought: "Although he can't be my husband, he is also very good to be a lover in secret." Well, although my master married Yujiang Tusi, didn't she also raise a lot of little white-faced disciples? Anyway, I am strong in martial arts and extremely powerful, and my future husband will not be able to control me. ”

The goshawk said again: "Please also ask the holy sister to return the sword, otherwise it will be difficult to resist in the next danger." ”

Shi Nan shook his head and said, "Your two blades will be stored here for the time being, and I will find another good sword for you." She was afraid that the goshawk would be perfunctory and leave with her sword, so she would return it in a hurry.

The goshawk didn't care, and walked out of the door, and the heather came out with him, and said a few words to the cuckoo, and the cuckoo took the order and left.

Shi Nan led the goshawk to the top of the hall, only to see a high platform in the depths, there was a luxurious and exquisite chair on it, and soon after, I saw three elders, more than a hundred high-level sect members, and fifty henchmen of Shi Nan gathered together, Shi Nan walked to the steps and shouted loudly: "Fellow believers, my sect master has been missing for a long time, I am worried that her life is in danger, and I will go to find her today." If you are concerned about the Master, why don't you come with us? ”

Everyone's faces changed color together, as if they were very afraid of the vicious nature of the wooden snake, and an elder said: "Shi Nan, do you want to be the sect leader and want to go crazy?

Shi Nan said: "Since I am determined to go, I am naturally very sure. It's Grandma Ganquan, if you really care about the whereabouts of the sect master, why don't you go with me. Otherwise, even if I find the whereabouts of the sect master, you won't admit it. ”

When the sect members heard this, their hearts were like mirrors, and the meaning of Shi Nan's words: if she found the body of the sect leader, she would definitely have been torn into a skeleton by a poisonous snake, which was difficult to identify.

The three old women looked at each other, thinking of the misery of the wooden snake's devouring body, they really shuddered, discussed in a low voice for a moment, and said: "Although you bring others to go, the three of us will not go, as long as you can find the body of the sect leader, and there are many people to witness, we have nothing to say." ”

Suddenly, I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl come out behind the three old women, with a beautiful face and extremely clear eyes, and she said loudly: "Sister Shinan, I will go with you." ”

The three old women cried out in unison, "Do you know how terrible the wooden snake is?"

Seeing that the three old women looked nervous, the goshawk was extremely fond of this girl, and was afraid that she was the candidate for the saint selected by the three old women.

Yimi said: "I feel sad that the sect master doesn't come back, but I can't help much. Now that Sister Shi Nan is not afraid of danger and resolutely goes, how can I, Yimi, retreat?"

Shi Nan smiled: "Little sister Yimi is really a heroic boy, her courage is extraordinary, if I become the sect leader in the future, this holy woman, I will definitely let you take over." "She wants to be the sect leader, everyone in the Gu Poison Sect knows it, she is talking eloquently at the moment, although everyone is surprised, but no one has spoken out against it for a while.

The three old women gathered together and discussed in a very low voice, and the goshawk stared at one of the lips, only to see her say, "Let's follow her, and take care of Yimi, lest this heather cause harm." Let's let them go ahead, and if the situation is not right, let's escort Yimi first. ”

Another person whispered: "Don't do it, don't stop it, this heather has a bad relationship with us, and the grudge is difficult to solve, let's find some good hands to ambush behind, if they really come out alive and find the body of the sect leader, we will kill them together, and it is believed that the wooden snake did it." Not only can Na Yimi become a saint, but the position of the head of the sect is only six years later. ”

Goshawk said in his heart: "This old woman is so vicious!"

Another person said: "Heather's martial arts are superb, not far from the sect leader, and that goshawk is also extremely powerful, I'm afraid it's really not weaker than heather." If we want to do it, we must plan carefully, not slack off, and the people we choose must be clever and strong. ”

The second man laughed and said, "As long as they enter the cave, how can they be intact when they come out? If they are poisoned by the wood snake, they don't need to dirty our hands." ”

Goshawk thought again: "These three old women are not good things, but if we kill them at this moment, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the heather's plan, as long as we are careful, it will be fine." Then he looked at the little girl, and saw that she was a sincere girl, and that she was really a kind girl, and felt pity, and knew that the three old women were devoted to her sake, and their hatred for them was a little less.

After they finished discussing, they turned around and said, "Heather Holy Maiden, if you really have a way to deal with the poisonous snake outside the cave, since we are elders, we will naturally welcome the sect leader out of the customs with you." ”

Shi Nan was waiting for them to say this, if she found the body of the master, with the status of these three people, she saw it with her own eyes, and she could no longer deny it, according to the canons, she would be able to become the sect leader, and then the status would be above these three elders, gradually weakening their authority, and finding someone to replace the three of them, it would not be a difficult thing, as for the little girl Yimi, Shi Nan was not disgusted, and it was okay to let her be a saint, but the position of the sect leader must be done for thirty or forty years, and then practice meditation.
