Hua Bushi stared at the eyes of the Venerable Scorpion and said: "Now you have two choices, one is to believe my words, accept those poisonous scorpions, I may keep my promise not to take your life, and the other is to gamble, bet that I may not know the secret method of the 'Seven Absolute Blood Piercing Technique', I am lying to you just now. ”

The Venerable Scorpion glared at Hua Bushi, and in his eyes, this young man was simply more terrifying than the devil. He finally lowered his head and said, "What choice can I have, I can only trust you, even if you break your promise and kill me afterwards, it is better than receiving the 'Seven Absolute Blood Piercing Technique'!"

Hua Bushi said: "Okay, as long as you are obedient, I will definitely not break my promise to kill you." ”

He made a gesture towards Boss Yu, and as soon as Boss Yu's hand was released, he let go of the ban on this fake monk.

The Venerable Scorpion took a few steps forward, and when he came to a place three feet away from the temple gate, he suddenly bent down and fell to the ground, his body bent in a strange posture.

The technique of manipulating poisonous insects is very rare in the rivers and lakes, and everyone looked at the Venerable Scorpion, wanting to see how he could recover the thousands of scorpions that were densely packed, Meng Qingshan and the Yu family brothers were even more tightly gripping blades, as long as they found that this fake monk had misdeeds, they would step forward and kill them.

However, I saw the Scorpion Master raise his arms and flutter on the ground, making a rhythmic "crackling" sound, and his body kept rising and falling, as if he was dancing a strange dance. As if they had heard the command, the scorpions climbed down from the roof of the temple and rushed to the side of the temple like a tidal wave.

Hua Bushi could see that the Venerable Scorpion Master actually used his body and arms to slap the ground and produce vibrations, in order to drive away the poisonous scorpion. Most reptiles have no sense of hearing, but they are extremely sensitive to the vibration of objects. These poisonous scorpions don't know what kind of training they have undergone, but they will follow the instructions of the Venerable Scorpion Master to advance and retreat, and it seems that the secret technique of driving poisonous insects in the Miaojiang Poison Gate is really mysterious.

This also proves that the Venerable Scorpion's previous statement that people in the Poison Gate can control insects from ten miles away is just lying. This method of relying on the transmission of ground vibrations to drive poisonous scorpions can only be used in close proximity, and it is absolutely impossible to travel miles away.

The crawling speed of the scorpion swarm was not slow, and in less than a moment and a half, all of them had retreated into the grass, only to hear the sound of "crickets and shooing" gradually faded away, and thousands of poisonous scorpions disappeared in the grass and trees, completely disappeared.

The Venerable Scorpion got up from the ground and said to Hua Bushi: "This son, I have collected the scorpion swarm, let them hide in the woods, and will not hurt anyone again, you must abide by the agreement and let the Venerable Master leave." ”

Everyone walked to the gate of the Guandi Temple, only to see that the ground in the temple was uneven, and those poisonous scorpions were indeed missing, and they had all retreated.

Hua Bushi said: "I just promised that I wouldn't kill you if you received the scorpion swarm, but I didn't say that I would let you go." ”

The Scorpion Master's expression changed and he said, "I have done as you say, what else do you want?!"

Hua Bushi said: "There are many methods in the poison gate, although you have temporarily collected the poisonous scorpion, but I don't know if there are other means, so I can't release you for the time being." ”

The Scorpion Master still wanted to speak, but Meng Qingshan had already grabbed in front of him, and with a wave of his palm, he slapped it on his chest, and the Scorpion Master immediately stood on the ground, not knowing what was going on.

"Let's go find a helper, it's not too late to come back and clean up this mess!" Meng Erye said.

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the temple!"

He knew that Meng Qingshan had only shot at the Venerable Scorpion's acupoint, and had not killed him, and the most important thing now was to find Ma Wuhua, and it didn't matter whether this fake monk killed or not.

Setting up an ambush with a scorpion swarm in the Guandi Temple is a very vicious strategy, and the idea is to wipe everyone out. The Demon Dao even had some calculations for the reinforcements of the "Dongting Gang", and sent people to stop the killing, which can also show that they are quite careful this time, and it is inevitable.

Thinking of this festival, Hua Bushi couldn't help but be a little more worried about Ma Wuhua and Xiri Ahong.

At that moment, the people left their horses outside the temple gate and walked into the temple on foot.

The main hall of the temple is empty, only on the central masonry platform, there is a statue of Guan Gong, which is also very old, under the light of the torch, you can see that the surface has been mottled, and the plaster is exposed in many places.

Going out from the back door of the main hall, it is a bluestone path that stretches Xiangshang and leads straight to the cliff behind the temple.

At this time, the night was thick, and the autumn wind blew away the clouds and mist in the sky, revealing a full orange-red moon. Next to the stone path, there are clusters of mountain laurel trees, light white osmanthus flowers are open, in the hazy moonlight, the breeze blows, the shadow of the flowers and trees is fluttering, it is very beautiful.

Today is the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Hua Bushi, Meng Qingshan and others are all heavy-hearted, and they are not interested in flowers and the moon at all.

After the poisonous scorpion, everyone was very alert, climbed along the stone path Xiangshang, and came to the top of the cliff, only to see a huge chasm appear in front of everyone.

This is the legendary Vaulting Horse Stream.

This deep stream runs between two mountain cliffs, and the rock walls on both sides are vertical and steep, as if the gods used the Great Axe to split an entire stone mountain range in half, forming such a steep terrain. There is no bottom in the deep stream, and the sound of some water can be faintly heard, and this mountain stream is more than 30 zhang wide, not to mention horses, even the world's top light masters, it is impossible to jump.

Could it be that the Chitu BMW that Guan Gong rode back then was a dragon descending to earth, so he could soar through the clouds and fog and fly over such a wide gap!

Of course, these are just legends, and who can say clearly what happened thousands of years ago?

When they got closer, they found that all the way was blocked by the deep stream in front of them, and only a chain bridge spanned the stream, which was the only way to continue walking.

The iron chain bridge in the face is actually just three iron chains with the thickness of three arms, two high and one low suspended in the air, and the mountain wind swept and swayed up and down, making a "ding-ding-ding" collision sound.

Suddenly, a fierce momentum rose from the deep stream in front of them, and the two or three Dongting gang members who had already walked to the edge of the chain bridge were forced to retreat a few steps by this murderous aura!

Meng Qingshan, Hua Bushi and the others all immediately stood up, and they saw at this time that there was a person sitting in the center of the chain bridge. I saw that this person was wearing a gray-black cloth robe, with a green cloth turban wrapped around his head, but he covered his face with a turquoise mask, revealing only two shining eyes.

You can't tell how old he is from the outside. Although the iron rope swayed, he sat cross-legged on the iron cable, but it gave people a feeling of stability and momentum. This person must have used the technique of breathing before, and he was wearing a gray-black suit, hidden in the night, and everyone didn't notice him when they climbed the cliff, until this time he suddenly released the momentum of the sky, which made the Dongting Gang who approached the chain bridge frightened and retreated.

Just sitting there, he can emit such an astonishing momentum, this person is undoubtedly a terrifying master!

Meng Qingshan stepped forward and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?"

The man in gray didn't answer, he swept his gaze over the people in front of the chain bridge, and after a while, he said, "You guys came so quickly, that insect keeper is really useless!"

Meng Qingshan's face turned cold, and he said, "You are a master in the Demon Dao, who are you?"

The gray-clothed man said, "I am the great disciple of the Immortal Holy Ancestor. My master had a duel with your horse gang master, and agreed that each side would only bring one apprentice to collect the corpse, even if no one collected the body for your horse gang leader, I would personally send the corpse to your main altar, what are you doing here?"

Meng Qingshan was furious when he heard this, and said sharply: "I want to see who collected whose corpse today!"

He turned his face and ordered, "Lord Luo Xiang, you go and kill this person!"

The terrain of the jumping horse stream is very steep, the only passage leading to the opposite bank in this chain bridge, and these three iron chains are suspended above the deep stream, if you fall down, there will be no bones, this gray man is located in the center of the chain bridge, it is to occupy the geographical advantage, it can be said that it is a husband and a man, ten thousand people do not enter.

Under this kind of inconvenient terrain, it is extremely unfavorable for many people to besiege, and it is not known whether the opponent has moved other hands and feet on the iron cable. Although Meng Qingshan was anxious and angry in his heart, he did not lose his mind, and it was a safe move for him to send a master of his own side to fight this gray-clothed man as a temptation.

The Luo Xiang lord he sent, his name is Luo Peng, known as "Golden Winged Dapeng" in the rivers and lakes, is a man in his thirties, the best at light skills, and the knife skills are also quite hot, and his martial arts are known for his agility and agility, and he is the most suitable person to fight on the chain bridge.

Luo Peng stepped forward in response, with a little foot, he had jumped straight out of the three feet, stood firmly on the chain bridge, lifted the steel knife upside down, and hugged his fist at the gray-clothed man and said: "Under Luo Peng, I have come to teach the martial arts of the honorable driver!"

The man in gray didn't answer, he looked at Luo Peng coldly with a pair of eyes, sitting there cross-legged and motionless, as if he didn't take the opponent in his eyes at all.

Luo Peng saw that the man in gray did not answer, and his face suddenly became a little ugly, but he did not rush to attack, but held a steel knife in his hand, and slowly walked towards the center of the chain bridge where the man in gray was located.

For light masters, it is easy to walk and jump on a chain with the thickness of a child's arm. Luo Peng didn't jump up, of course, it's not that he can't do it, but because he knows that the other party is a master, and it will definitely be difficult to deal with, although he walks forward step by step, although it is slow, he can react the fastest and dodge the opponent's attack in time, he made this choice, it is the result of years of experience in fighting with others.
