It turns out that the reason why Shen Bai became like this was also related to the people in Baigu Cave.
In short, when Shen Bai passed through Ningcheng, he heard that there were many suspicious men in black near Ningcheng, but they did not do anything strange, so Wutai did not directly attack them. They just sent a few people to keep an eye on them. After all, Wutai is very particular about two words - evidence.
If it is determined that there is a problem with these men in black, Wutai will definitely take action against them without hesitation, but if no problem is found, Wutai can only secretly monitor these people... There is no way, this is new The rules set by the Dragon Emperor when he established the martial arts platform are because the members of the martial arts platform come from various sects and their strength is far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, if certain restrictions are not imposed on the martial arts platform, various kinds of things may happen in the martial arts platform. In the sense of "expansion", after all, Wutai's force value is still too high.
In other words, there is only such a big piece of cake. If you, Wu Tai, eat too much, the remaining "people" will not be able to eat enough, not to mention that you are still eating other people's share. .
Therefore, Wutai cannot take action without definite evidence, unless it can be entrusted by the prefect or the city lord. However, the prefect of Ningcheng has been busy with other things recently, so he did not pay much attention to these suspicious people. The men in black, not to mention these men in black, dressed a little strangely and liked to wander around, but they didn't do anything extraordinary, and they didn't carry weapons or anything like that.
Therefore, the prefect of Ningcheng sent several government officials to guard the villages near Ningcheng, reporting on the movements of these men in black every day.
For a while, these men in black and Ning Cheng could be said to be at peace with each other, without any conflict.
But as a professional who has singled out more than a dozen copycats, Shen Bai, who was passing by, quickly realized that these men in black were very problematic. He felt that they might be trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attract people through these men in black. Ningcheng Prefect and Wu Tai's attention, and then did some shameful things behind their backs.
Shen Bai has seen this kind of plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack the west many times. For example, more than a month ago, there was a copycat who was ostensibly planning to attack a certain village, but the actual target was someone passing by nearby. A caravan! After all, the manpower of the copycat is also very limited, so it can only attack one target at a time. Therefore, when the caravan hears that the copycat is attacking a certain village, it will not think that it will be attacked by this copycat. attack.
However, Shen Bai had already guessed the idea of this copycat, so he matched the caravan and the village in advance, and thus came up with a two-sided attack strategy, making the copycat directly become history.
After suspecting these men in black, Shen Bai secretly followed a few men in black and found that they were walking in circles around Ningcheng. He would only take the small roads if possible. If he saw anyone nearby, he would go straight into the mountains. , and traps will also be placed in some hidden places.
However, this is said to be a trap, but in fact it is a mechanism to determine whether anyone is following them, and Shen Bai is also a professional counterpart to this kind of mechanism, because Shen Bai has seen many similar mechanisms when he singled out those copycats. Of course, when Shen Bai took action for the first time, he almost died because of a trap.
So after following the man in black for a few laps around Ningcheng, Shen Bai finally saw a man in black disguised as a woodcutter and enter the mountain closest to Ningcheng.
Then, Shen Bai saw this "woodcutter" entering a very hidden and guarded cave. The most important thing was that these guards all had one obvious characteristic - bone weapons.
Yes, people in Baigudong will use bones as their weapons. In addition to the most common big bone sticks, there are also weapons such as bone spears or bone hammers, which all look primitive.
And the fact is indeed the case. In terms of combat effectiveness, the ordinary members of Baigudong can only be said to be less than the superiors and more than the inferiors. They can only deal with ordinary people who know nothing, but when faced with people like Yamen and policemen, When compared to ordinary people who have undergone certain training, they will definitely not be able to defeat one on one.
As for the cave masters of Baigu Cave, they have no restrictions. They can use weapons of any material. Moreover, these cave masters generally have the experience of being kicked out of a nearby sect, so they want to confirm their martial arts. The number of paths is also very easy, so Wutai often takes the right medicine and easily solves this bone-hole sub-rudder.
By the way, all the bone weapons used in Baigu Cave can be determined to be cattle bones, so some people think that Baigu Cave may have originated from the prairie in the west, because some tribes on the prairie also They can use cow bones to make various weapons, and the reason why Baigu Cave was first discovered on the beach is to conceal their true origin.
After confirming that it was Baigu Cave, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief, because he also knew that Baigu Cave's strength was relatively average, just like many copycats. It seemed like there were a lot of people, but in fact it could Only a few were beaten.
As a result, Shen Bai fell into the trap.
Because there is only one entrance to the cave, and the guards will pull a rope at the entrance of the cave every once in a while, which seems to be sending some kind of message, such as "everything is normal outside" or something like that.
Therefore, although Shen Bai was confident of knocking down those guards, he would inevitably alert the enemy. Therefore, Shen Bai chose to avoid the danger for the time being and returned to Ningcheng to inform Wutai and the prefect. As a result, he suddenly encountered them when he was going down the mountain. There was a heavy rain.
"Well, you may not believe it. Although I am now a third-rate expert, I still can't maintain my balance on rainy days. In short, my feet will slip after taking a few steps. So unless it is absolutely necessary on rainy days, then I definitely wouldn't wander around outside; so yesterday when I was going down the mountain, I fell maybe ten times, so I didn't notice whether I encountered any traps in the process, but the fact is that I definitely encountered traps. .”
"The reason is very simple. As soon as I came down the mountain, I found that I was being targeted by someone. However, there were only two or three people at the beginning, so they did not dare to attack me directly. They could only wait behind me. reinforcements; so after thinking for a moment, I could only run to the river, hoping to use the river water to cover my footprints. If necessary, I could even jump into the river and go downstream for a distance... The result was unexpected to me. What's surprising is that those guys from Baigu Cave have already ambushed themselves by the river!"
Shen Bai said happily: "I really didn't expect that an ambush had been arranged by the river, and it happened to be on the escape route I had temporarily thought of, so I was caught off guard. The result was that My feet suddenly slipped, so the sudden attack of these ambushes only caused me skin injuries! And I jumped into the river, but I don’t know why, but I smelled a strong odor as soon as I jumped into the water. The smell, and then I subconsciously wanted to surface for air, but it seemed like I hit a rock, and then I passed out."
Hearing what Shen Bai said, Liu Xing knew that this man was also an unlucky guy, because the ambush in his eyes was not actually waiting for him by the river, but was completing his daily task - to remove the "plant ash" from the soldiers. "The cloth bag was thrown into the river.
As a result, after they completed their daily tasks, they happened to see Shen Bai running this way in a panic, so they directly ambush and waited until Shen Bai approached before taking action.
Maybe it was because Shen Bai's feet were slippery, or maybe it was because of the heavy rain. In short, the killer moves of these ambushers did not work, and they only caused some skin injuries to Shen Bai! But when they saw Shen Bai fell directly into In the river, he might have thought that Shen Bai was dead. After all, a lot of bags had just been thrown into the river. Normal people would be unbearable and want to climb up when they smell the smell.
As a result, Shen Bai once again passed the lucky test, and was knocked unconscious by something while preparing to surface, such as some debris mixed in the water flow, or debris washed away by the rain on the shore. Shi, in short, simply fainted, so the pursuers on the shore let Shen Bai go.
"You are really lucky. Those people from Baigudong all use bone knives as weapons, so the sharpness of these bone knives is much worse than ordinary iron knives. That's why you suffered a little skin injury. Otherwise, you would have died of excessive blood loss along the way."
Liu Xing said with a smile: "But your luck is also quite bad, because those ambush soldiers in your mouth actually came to the river due to other things. This is also the reason why you smelled the stench after falling into the water, so you were If you choose other escape routes, you will be able to escape unscathed nine times out of ten."
"Oh, then is my luck good or bad?"
Shen Bai shook his head and said helplessly: "But having said that, I still have to thank you for your help, so can you send the Buddha to the west? Help me inform the Wutai or the prefect of Ningcheng about this. Let them take action against the branch of Baigudong as soon as possible. Don't let them... Well, although I don't know what these people in Baigudong are doing, I am sure that they have no good intentions and are doing it. What they are doing is also very important to them, otherwise they would not have arranged for those many men in black to attract Wu Tai's attention."
Liu Xing nodded and said: "Don't worry, we have actually noticed something strange in Ning Cheng. If nothing else happens, we should have found the cave, so those people in Baigu Cave can't escape! So you can Just rest and recover here, I will let you know if there is any news later."
When Shen Bai heard what Liu Xing said, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Although I don't know what Baigudong near Ningcheng wants to do, I have seen what Baigudong did in other places. Because, I don’t want to see these damn guys continue to harm one party anymore!”
Since Shen Bai said so, then what other stories do he have with Baigudong?
Liu Xing winked at Yin En, and Yin En immediately understood and said: "Brother, we don't know your name yet? To be honest, we are here in Tianshui Town; you may not have heard of our Tianshui town. Regarding the situation of the town, because our Tianshui Town was re-established just this month, we have obtained the personal permission of His Highness the Third Prince, so we can directly contact the prefect of Ningcheng! Therefore, we want to tell your name to Give it to Ningcheng Prefect, and you will get the corresponding reward when the time comes."
Shen Bai looked at Yin En in surprise, and then said at a loss: "Ah? I thought I drifted near a certain city and was rescued, but I didn't expect that this was Tianshui Town. ?I mean I knew that Tianshui Town was burned to the ground, so I never thought that this would be Tianshui Town. By the way, my name is Shen Bai, and I used to be from Boyang City, so I know the situation in Tianshui Town. But when I was about ten years old, I followed my parents to Kuya City."
"Oh, I didn't expect that we are still fellow villagers."
Liu Xing said with a smile: "So Brother Shen, are you going back to Boyang City to visit relatives and friends this time? I have to remind you here that Boyang City just changed its owner recently, so the atmosphere in the city seems to be... Still a little nervous.”
Shen Bai nodded and said: "Yes, I came here this time because I wanted to go to Boyang City to visit relatives, that is, one of my uncles. He has not been in good health recently, so my father let me go for such a long time. But my original plan was to go to Liangcheng to buy some things, because there are only a few things in Kuya City, and I can’t even get the necessities for me to travel around the world after I leave the army."
At this time, Meng Fugui said: "Bitter bud city? I heard that it is quite remote over there. It seems to be located in a group of mountains. If it weren't for the local production of bitter bud, a good medicine for treating diseases, I'm afraid the bitter Nha Cheng would never exist."
Is there such a thing?
As a doctor, Liu Xing quickly looked through the memories of "Liu Peng", and finally remembered a medicinal material called "Bitter Bud". This medicinal material is extremely bitter, but it can treat many diseases, so it is Many medical sects consider it a miracle medicine!
However, like many medicinal materials, although bitter buds can be grown in other places, the efficacy will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the longer the picking time, the less effective the bitter buds are in treating diseases and saving lives. Therefore, many medical sects use their own medicines to treat diseases and save lives. The "ICU ward" is located in Kuya City, just to allow Kuya to play its greatest role - to bring the dead back to life.
So if nothing else happened, Liu Xing felt that Shen Bai's family might have been seriously ill, so they moved to Kuya City many years ago.
