XVII. Traces of the Ancient Road (Part I)

Qin Chu and the others galloped on horseback, and they walked for a long time unconsciously, until the afternoon, when they faintly saw the ruins of the bamboo house in the dense forest. Suddenly, they heard the sound of a fight in front of them, and they quickly quickened their pace.

Not far away, Xie Junhe's sword and Shen Yanfei's spear were intertwined, evenly matched. There was no other figure.

Shen Yanfei actually appeared in front of the bamboo house!

Qin Shi was stunned, but Chu Tao was very calm, and shouted, "Stop!"

At this time, Xie Junhe's sword had already forced Shen Yanfei into a corner, so he naturally stopped.

Yan Fei, who was unloaded, was very unconvinced: "Sneak attack from behind, what kind of hero is it?"

"Who told you to sneak around in Beacon Ridge?"

"Why can't I come only when you are here?"

The sword in Xie Junhe's hand was about to be pressed tighter, but he was stopped by Chu Tao: "Put it away!"

The two of them reluctantly put away their weapons.

Shen Yanfei asked very unceremoniously: "Master Chu, why did you detain Young Master Qi Heng?"

Chu Tao also replied unceremoniously: "Then why did the Qi family plot against me?" Seeing that Shen Yanfei didn't know how to answer, he laughed, "There are some unresolved entanglements between me and him. If you don't detain him, this mad dog should be biting everywhere again. When I get out of the Beacon Ridge, I will negotiate with Qi Ye. ”

"It's not in order, is it, Master Chu?"

"Don't worry, you won't treat Qi Gongzi badly. Qin Dashao is also with me, he can vouch for it. Qin Shi suddenly felt that he had been generalized, and he nodded and shook his head. But seeing Chu Tao's sincere appearance, he nodded unconsciously.

"But if Master Chu insists on moving forward, I am really worried about whether Young Master Qi Heng will be a funeral. ”

Xie Junhe was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent: "What do you mean?"

Shen Yanfei hugged his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "Master Chu, it's not too late to rein in the precipice." ”

Xie Junhe shouted loudly: "Get out! If the Qi family dares to play any tricks again, I won't be surnamed Xie if I don't open the killing ring!" As soon as the words fell, Chu Tao's sword scabbard was already horizontal in front of him. He took a few steps back in a fit of rage and let it go.

"Master Chu......" Shen Yanfei turned the silver leaf gun in his hand, and the light was particularly dazzling.

"What, you're going to fight me?"

As if he was about to say something, a whirlwind suddenly rolled up on the flat ground, flying sand and rocks, and the blades danced wildly, and even the earth began to tremble. Suddenly it went dark. Chu Tao couldn't figure out what the situation was, and tried to defend himself with his sleeves, but the wind was so fierce that it almost pushed him down.

"Be careful!" a lightning-fast light sped through the darkness. The moment Chu Tao avoided, he only heard a loud sound of the "bell", which was the sound of Junhe's remnant sword and the unknown weapon colliding.

Immediately after, I don't know if it was Xie Junhe who pushed him hard, or if the mysterious force catapulted him out, and he was thrown two or three feet away.

Suddenly, the wind stopped, the sand and fog gradually dissipated, and the leaves slowly stopped. Chu Tao found that Shen Yanfei and his silver leaf gun were gone. Qin Shi was also getting up and dusting off the dirt on his body, trying to find out what had happened. Xie Jun and the servant fell two steps away from Chu Tao, still holding the sword tightly in their hands.

"What's wrong, Junhe?" Chu Tao pushed him awake.

He propped himself up and fell again. After breathing a sigh of relief, he tried to sit up again: "What kind of evil sect is the number of paths! Lao Tzu has never seen such a fast skill!"

Chu Tao teased: "Knowing the scolding, it must be fine." ”

He stood up and put his sword back into its sheath: "That's not a person. All I saw was a chilling sword. ”

Qin Shi sighed: "There is such a master in the Beacon Fire Ridge?"

Chu Tao smiled coldly: "If you can take Shen Yanfei away from the three of us, how many people on the rivers and lakes can you tell you?"

"Tang Yao's people?" Qin Shi asked.

Jun He was quite disdainful: "If Tang Yao had that ability, he would have made a move as early as Red Frost Town." Could it be ——?"

"In this way, the wild goose is in danger......" Chu Tao sighed in a low voice, "He must know something." ”

"There is a very strange thing, the night when Qi Heng set up the set, I didn't see the surname Shen at all. Aren't they in a group?"

"Qi Ye Mingli only sent Shen Yanfei and asked him to contact the Tang and Luo families to inquire about the situation. It was also that night that I learned that Qi Heng was also here. Qi Ye's abacus seems to be hitting you, the head of Chu. ”

Chu Tao smiled bitterly and did not comment.

Suddenly, I saw the flying pigeon spread its wings and glide through the dense forest, but when it approached, a cold light broke through the air, accompanied by a slight bowstring sound. The pigeon hit the ground.

A hint of pale color suddenly flashed on Chu Tao's face.

Rushing to the place where the bowstring sounded, only to see a mysterious white shadow flash by, and hide into the depths of the woods.

Xie Junhe was about to move forward, but Chu Tao stretched out his arm to stop: "Don't chase!"

"Why?"

Chu Tao picked up the pigeon that was shot by the hunting bow, untied the letterbox, and ordered: "He's still around here, be careful." ”

"What is the idea of shooting your pigeon, but not taking your letter?"

If you chase after you, God knows what the trap will be. ”

Qin Shi stepped forward curiously: "Whose news? Uncle Wang?"

"Cat's. Looks like things are not going well. ”

Xie Junhe's face was not very good-looking, only Qin Shi didn't know, if there was no big thing, these rangers would not take the initiative to contact Chu Tao.

Chu Tao explained while reading the letter: "Since the fire of the Tang family, there have been mysterious white shadows following them, and they can't find out the truth and reality, so they have to scatter and retreat. But after that, he couldn't contact the Short Knifeman...... This guy is a monkey spirit. Since someone can target Jinyike, they can naturally also target them. It's time to withdraw. ”

Qin Shi broke through with a word: "In this way, isn't the head of Chu alone?"

"And that's not the worst. Chu Tao casually tore up the letterhead and threw it in the wind, "The short knifeman's whirling fast knife is elusive, and he has to be faster than him, and he has not encountered an opponent on the south bank." I may not be faster than him. Those who can deal with him will inevitably shoot faster than him. ”

"How fast?"

Chu Tao turned to Qin Shi: "Have you ever heard of the Pear Flower Sword that has been in the rivers and lakes for many years?"

"It's a North Shore legend. No one has ever seen it. I heard that the style is feminine and weird. If you reach the point of reaching the pinnacle, you will not see your whereabouts, but only the sword qi. Legend has it that a master was killed in front of everyone's eyes, and people did not see blood under the cold light, only to see the pear blossom fall to the ground. But it's just a rumor, and I think it's mostly fabricated by someone to scare people. How can we kill people without seeing blood? Now even the Pear Flower Sword Sect, which has no name, has been extinct since the ancestors. If it's that powerful, how can it be gone?"

Chu Tao glanced at him and smiled strangely: "Who said it is extinct, Jiang Shaoyun is the eldest disciple of the Pear Flower Sword Sect!"

Qin Shi suddenly panicked: "Could it be that there is really such a miracle in the world?"

Xie Junhe snorted: "No matter how arrogant he is, he is also a person, I don't believe that I can't find a flaw." ”
