Zamao Xiaodao and I didn't have the slightest scruple. We sat down and lay down, revealing each other's secrets. This was not a problem. However, in front of the people in Ciyuan Pavilion, we inevitably needed to pretend, so we wiped the blood on the ground and tidied it up a little.
I took a look and waited for them to come.
After the battle just now, the eyes of everyone in Ciyuan Pavilion when they looked at Zamao Xiaodao were almost like Huang Chenqujun, who was so hot that it could almost melt the snow. And the awe-inspiring thing is that Zamao Xiaodao is far older than
Not as good as those old guys who have been famous in the world for a long time, but considering his identity, they have almost regarded this guy as the future headmaster of Maoshan.
In this way, everyone was very complimentary. After several urgings from me, they just talked about the follow-up and said that a disciple named Luo Jinlong also disappeared in Longhu Mountain.
Disciple, his status is very important, so Master Wangyue came to look for him. After some negotiations between Liu Yongxiang and Longhushan, the two parties have reached a consensus.
There must be someone playing tricks in the dark to sow discord between the two parties, so everyone should go back first and investigate carefully.
It was not a good thing to have an inexplicable fight and then turn back. However, because Zamao Xiaodao heroically broke the talisman with a talisman and defeated the real Mochizuki, the morale of the team was high, and the return trip was much faster.
.
Zamao Xiaodao ignored the curious, fearful, or adoring eyes behind him. He walked quickly while recuperating his body and breathing, trying his best to restore his cultivation and breathing.
In this battle, Mochizuki Zhenren lost many precious talismans and his self-confidence. However, as the victor, Zamao Xiaodao also consumed most of the bone talismans at the bottom of the box, as well as the natal blood jade he had worn for nearly thirty years. Especially the latter, although
Up to now, it has not helped him much in his practice, but the commemorative significance is immeasurable.
Of course, this does not mean that he has gained nothing. In short, he has gained a sharp double-edged sword: reputation.
Putting this aside for now, we returned to the camp and found a group of people gathered on the grass. They seemed to be looking at something. The shopkeeper Na Tian saw us and greeted us in a low voice. Zamao Xiaodao and I walked over quickly and saw people lying on the ground.
There was a corpse lying on the ground, all wet and face blurred, but it was none other than the missing shopkeeper Jiao.
Seeing the surprise on our faces, shopkeeper Tian explained to us: "Lao Jiao's body was found by Mr. Huang Da at the lakeside, in the stone bay behind the metasequoia forest. He had been tortured before his death.
, both hands and feet were broken, eyes were blinded, ears and nose were cut off, gold water was poured into the throat, and four words were tattooed on the chest, blood debt must be paid with blood!"
What a ruthless method. He tortured Shopkeeper Jiao like this for two purposes. One was to torture him to get a confession, and the other was to find out the truth about the murderer even if the body was found.
.
We are all practitioners and have seen many cruel methods. What Shopkeeper Jiao endured was just physical punishment, which is not unusual. However, a man like this was eating at the same table with us yesterday, chatting and laughing.
, but now it has become a swollen and smelly corpse soaked in the lake water. I still can't accept it even thinking about it.
We are not very familiar with Shopkeeper Jiao, so we can’t say we are very sad. However, the feelings of everyone in Ciyuan Pavilion are different. To them, Shopkeeper Jiao, who is always smiling, fair and shrewd in dealing with things, is their teacher.
A leader is a friend and an old brother. These emotions have been integrated into life. Such sudden death is really sad. Thousands of words are stuck in the heart and cannot be expressed.
I glanced left and right, and found that everyone's expressions were not good, and those in Chengfu who were slightly lighter already had tears in their eyes with grief and indignation.
On a big rock behind the camp, I saw the figure of Mr. Huang Chenqu. He was squatting on the rock like an old farmer in the countryside, with his hands in his sleeves. He was dripping wet, and his hair fell into strands.
His eyes were covered so he couldn't see clearly what his expression was.
I didn't feel too sad, so I took Shopkeeper Tian's hand and asked him what was going on and whether he had found the murderer?
Shopkeeper Tian had a sad look on his face, shook his head slightly and said no, Mr. Huang Da came back not long after you left. After getting the news that Lao Jiao was missing, he seemed to remember something and ran towards that side like crazy, no.
After a long time, I brought Lao Jiao's body back, and then squatted on the stone without saying a word. I have already asked someone to notify the master of the pavilion, and he should be there soon.
I nodded and subconsciously glanced at Yizijian again.
This pig butcher has a close relationship with the master of Ciyuan Pavilion, but I can’t say how familiar he is with the following shopkeepers. If we say he is sad, he is also sad, but he is about the same as us. I’m afraid his mood at the moment is more about
He blames himself. After all, with his reputation as one of the top ten masters in the world, he can't cover the small camp under his command. It's somewhat unbelievable to say this.
Speaking of which, I am somewhat curious as to where his Yizijian went in the middle of the night last night.
We did not wait long. Not long after, the master of Ciyuan Pavilion personally led people to the shore, and his brother-in-law was with him. The master personally went to negotiate with Mr. Huang Chenqu in secret, and his uncle came to find us.
He asked loudly: "I just heard Fang Zhilong say that you met Wang Yue?"
The young master of Ciyuan Pavilion is really a good publicity trumpet, and the news spread so quickly.
Unlike others, my brother-in-law knows the basics of miscellaneous hair. He naturally knows that if he fights hard, his nephew will definitely not be able to defeat the famous Longhu Mountain Wangyue Zhenren, so he is a little more worried. The twists and turns in this cannot be shared with others.
Knowing that, we pulled our uncle aside, used Li Daozi's blood talisman to scare away the head and tail of Zhamao Xiaodao, and explained to him quietly.
After going back and forth, I could hear the cold sweat on my uncle's forehead, and couldn't help but feel scared: "Fortunately, Li Daozi made the arrangements back then. Without his clever plan, I might not have been able to see you two."
I chuckled beside him and said, "Uncle, we have encountered too many things. How many times have we not stepped half-foot into the river of life and death? This can only be regarded as a small scene. The only blame is Wangyue's treatment of Li Daozi."
The fear was too deep, and Lao Xiao's provocation made him extremely sensitive.
After the uncle finished laughing, he asked worriedly how Zamao Xiaodao was injured?
Zamao Xiaodao breathed a long sigh of relief and said it didn't matter. The nail-headed book of seven arrows was indeed a first-class murder weapon, but most of its power was absorbed and blocked by the blood jade. I was only slightly affected. I was not angry at first.
Come here, it won't be a big deal now.
The uncle sighed and said that you defeated Mochizuki this time, which was a good thing and a bad thing. Although you have gained the limelight, you actually do not have the strength to hold up the title. Once the blood jade is broken, you will no longer be able to stand by him.
You need to be more careful in the future.
My uncle was so concerned that Zamao Xiaodao didn't dare to argue, but he kept saying nothing. But I laughed beside him and said, "Uncle, you have underestimated Lao Xiao. If you don't use the talisman and really let go, I'm afraid you will win."
The loss is uncertain. Lao Xiao has been working hard, so you don’t have to worry. My uncle didn’t say much, just nodded and smiled, saying it was the best.
Before we finished talking here, shopkeeper Tian asked us to come to the tent to talk.
After entering the tent, I found that there were only a few people in charge. Seeing everyone gathered, Mr. Huang Chenqu coughed, and then left without permission last night to make a self-examination. The owner of Ciyuan Pavilion next to him quickly smoothed things over and said that Mr. Huang Da had inspected last night.
, I met a rare spiritual creature wandering around, and I was delighted to see it. To avoid being disturbed, I quietly came out. Unexpectedly, the beast took Mr. Huang Da around the island in a circle, and finally found it.
It was difficult to find a hole in it, so I thought about going back to look for the tools, but I didn't want to be told that Shopkeeper Jiao was missing. Then I realized that I had been tricked by the enemy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Having said this, we probably all understand the ins and outs of the matter, but I do have some questions. What kind of spiritual creature can it be that Mr. Huang Da is pursuing it?
Yizijian said with regret: "Dragon Elephant Golden Rat, this is a rare thing, as agile as a rat and as powerful as an elephant, and its greatest ability is to hunt for treasures, and it is most sensitive to the spiritual veins of magic weapons.
However, if you can raise it and have the strength to explore it, then the most precious resource for practitioners will become rare..."
Dragon Ball Radar? No wonder Yizijian would chase after it without caring about the camp. If it were me, I might not be able to care much.
Wait, dragon, elephant, golden rat?
Such a magical thing appeared on the island at this critical moment, and it also played around with the one-word sword... Could it be that it belongs to another force on the island, that is, the group that is eyeing us in the dark and sowing discord?
Man? Yes, searching for a true dragon naturally requires such a spiritual creature. The reason why they did not activate it was because there were world-class masters like Wuchen, Yizijian, Shanyang and even Wangyue on the island.
, are you afraid of making wedding clothes for others, that’s why you act like this?
Who is it? After careful consideration, we all came to a conclusion: the Fish Head Gang, and the Evil Spirit Cult behind it.
In the end, we still can't get around this shadow that hangs over everyone. The bloody words tattooed on Shopkeeper Jiao's body make us clearly realize that no matter Yang Zhixiu is alive or dead, the deaths of Sixianghai, Ke Hailing and Huang Pengfei
, has aroused the hatred of the Evil Spirit Cult. They will definitely follow us in the shadows like vicious dogs, and bite us when they see an opportunity.
With this analysis in place, the Pavilion Master of Ciyuan Pavilion told everyone to proceed with caution. Just as they were about to discuss the next plan, someone suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted at everyone: "Pavilion Master, the Xunlong No. 1 has been attacked!"
