Chapter 257 The long-lasting wind rises again (first update)
…
…
At the high point of the barren hill, Wei Tao stood with his hands behind his back, looking around the mountain forest, faint sparks could be seen scattered, which were many six-door catchers searching the mountain.
Wow~
He shook his hands and shook off the wanted notice, and drew a lifelike portrait of a young man. His facial features were not exactly outstanding, but there was an indescribable and unruly look between his brows, which made his whole person vivid and eye-catching.
"One of the two most outstanding young people in Qingzhou within fifty years. What a pity..."
Rubbing the wanted notice, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel a touch of regret in his heart.
More than just Qingzhou?
In just three years, this young man who is not as good as a weakling has accomplished many great things, which are almost unmatched by his peers even if we look at the entire Longyuandao.
The last time I heard about such a young man who could be called a blazing sun, it was Chu Tianyi of the Chu family who came to Zhujian Villa and caused thousands of swords to shake.
pity……
"No wonder the boss thinks so highly of this person, with such age and talent..."
Wei Tao hesitated for a long time, but finally found a hiding place, let go of the eagle hidden in his sleeves, looked at its retreating back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Sir, that's all I can do for my humble job. I hope you won't be confused..."
He worked as a head catcher in Yunzhou for nearly forty years. Coincidentally, when he first became a catcher, the person in charge of Yunzhou was named Xu Wenji, who was his old boss.
Huhu~
While Wei Tao was thinking in his mind, several strong head catchers rushed up the hill to report on the search results. One of them discovered traces of red-eyed white cranes killing tigers and leopards.
"This person's hiding place should not be far away!"
Wei Tao nodded and immediately warned:
"Yang Yu is an extremely powerful person. Although the intelligence records that this person has not yet formed a furnace, his combat power and martial arts are still superior to mine. Once something is discovered, no one is allowed to act rashly!"
"yes!"
Several head catchers looked serious...
In fact, the order passed down from the chief arrester of the six gates almost caused a sensation in the entire six gates of Longyuan Road. In addition to Wei Tao, the ones who came this time were Ling Gang, the chief arrester of the six gates of Baizhou, and Long Yuan.
The Taoist garrison chief arrested Qi Liuyi.
The leader of this operation is one of the world-famous four great hunters from Kyoto, the invincible Duan Qilong with his divine fist!
How can anyone dare to be careless about a person who can be hunted down by the Six Sects?
Several people left in a hurry, but only one young man stayed. He glanced at the wanted notice and couldn't help but said:
"Sir, this person has not yet become a melting pot. Even if he has a record of escaping from General Wei, he shouldn't attract Duan Shen to arrest him, right?
some of……"
The total number of head catchers recorded in the six gates of the Ming Dynasty's nine states and twenty-seven states exceeds two million, including many of them Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, but there are only four divine catchers in each generation!
It is a bit unbelievable that such a being would go out just to encircle and suppress a junior who has not yet become a grandmaster.
"That's the truth. I'll just do what you're told."
Wei Tao looked grim:
"Remember, we are only here to help Mr. Duan capture this person and find out his whereabouts. This is enough for me to go into the chief arrest. We must not rush in. Do you understand?!"
"I understand the humble position."
Qi Feng looked serious.
He knew very well that his master had been trapped in front of the Grandmaster for more than ten years. If he wanted to go further, he had to go to the headquarters. There was no other way.
"Go for it!"
Wei Tao waved his hand and suddenly frowned, and heard the barking of dogs and the screams of people coming from all over the forest.
"Um?!"
His heart was shocked, and he stepped down the barren hill without thinking, heading straight for the nearest place. Qi Feng was slow for a moment, and then walked away quickly.
"Woo"
In the shady mountain forest, a huge mastiff bent over and whimpered. No matter how hard the head hunter pulled it, it refused to get up and cursed the latter angrily.
"Sir, this mastiff collapsed on the ground for some reason and refused to move forward!"
Seeing Wei Tao, the head catcher had sweat on his forehead.
"Mastiffs have undergone rigorous training. Even if they encounter tigers and leopards, they will not be so unbearable. How could they..."
Wei Tao frowned.
The six-door mastiff is the product of the imperial court's collection of dog breeds from all over the world and the selection of the best from generation to generation. It has a fierce temperament and is not afraid of tigers and leopards.
In all the years he has been a member of the Six Gates, this is the first time he has seen these mastiffs cowering in such fear.
At this time, Qi Feng also came over:
"The same is true for other brothers. The mastiffs are frightened and refuse to move a step. I'm afraid there is something extremely terrifying for them in this mountain forest..."
"Scary stuff..."
Wei Tao muttered to himself and suddenly looked back.
"Ouch!"
The dark clouds covering the moon passed across the sky, and the silvery moonlight fell on the cliff. A majestic black spring stood at the highest point of the mountain forest, roaring at the moon!
The sound waves echoed in the mountains and forests, carrying far away in the wind. Wherever the sound waves reached, many mastiff dogs bowed their heads and trembled even more, as if a wolf dog encountered a wolf king.
Not only Wei Tao, but also the other six gatekeepers who were far away in the mountains heard this roar.
"This is the dog in the intelligence?!"
Wei Tao's eyes narrowed, and he was filled with surprise.
According to the intelligence, Yang Yu had a white crane and a black dog. Almost everyone in the mountain knew this, but who would have thought that the black dog could scare away so many mastiffs from a distance in the mountains?
Is this still a dog?!
Ouch~
On the cliff, a big black dog howled loudly.
As if he noticed other people approaching him, he swung his body and suddenly got into the forest.
"Chase!"
Before Wei Tao uttered a word, he heard a long roar from the distant mountains. The sound was surging, and the sound shook the mountains and forests ten miles away.
"Ling Gang!"
Wei Tao was startled and immediately gave the order: "Let go of the mastiff and track the black dog!"
Huhu~
The wind howled in the mountain forest, silhouettes passed by one after another, and from time to time there was the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.
The headhunters who went into the mountains to search this time were all elites from the Six Gates, many of whom were experts. Even though the mountain road was rugged, it was like walking on flat ground for them.
However, what surprised them was that the speed of the big black dog was so fast and so agile. It was as if he had learned Qinggong and moved around in the mountains and forests, but could not catch up.
boom!
The big tree hugged by several people was directly broken by the collision, and the big black dog rushed forward wildly. Every time he heard the sound behind him going away, he would slow down slightly, and when they got closer, he would speed up again.
boom!
Suddenly, a roar sounded from very far away, followed immediately by a sharp blast that could pierce an eardrum.
The big black dog jumped suddenly, avoiding the rolling rocks, and ran away with its tail between its legs, whimpering and growling.
"Good dog, good dog!"
A figure flashed past with lightning, and as strong as his hand, he rolled up the spear inserted into the mountain, gave a cold shout, and chased after him quickly:
"Brother Wei, go and collect some firewood, and wait for Ling to beat the dog for you!"
…
…
Huhuhu
The biting night wind blew through the mountain forest, and the dried snow fell on the unmelted snow in the shade, making a subtle sound.
There are scattered torches in the valley.
fluttering~
At a certain moment, an eagle came from high in the sky and fell like a sharp arrow towards the valley. The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged raised his hand to catch the falling eagle.
"The prince's letter..."
He muttered slightly to himself, but did not take it apart. Instead, he summoned his left and right people, asking them to be careful. Then he stood up, and without any movement, he ran up the smooth and steep cliff like an ape.
After just a few ups and downs, we arrived on a cliff hundreds of feet high. On a small platform that could only accommodate two people, an old man with white beard and hair, but a face as rosy and fair as a baby, sat cross-legged.
He was breathing to the moon in the cold wind. In front of his knees, there was a sword with no sheath and no handle, no more than two feet long.
As he swallowed it, the sword also glowed with a faint light, breathing as if alive, vibrating rhythmically, which was the same as the old man's breathing.
call!
The middle-aged man stood close to the cliff, waiting with his hands down.
"call!"
Not long after, the old man exhaled a breath of blazing white air. The air was as condensed as a sword, and it could not be dispersed in the airflow at high altitudes. It shot out more than three feet away and did not disperse for a long time.
"Congratulations to Master, for forging hundreds of scriptures, forging flying swords, and becoming a master."
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged people looked envious and a little sad. They had paid too much for today.
Fortunately, it will eventually pay off.
His master's meritorious deeds have long been achieved, but it's a pity that he lost the most exquisite "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" in the sect and was unable to take this step forward. Now it's just a matter of time.
"You have just taken one step in a journey of thousands of miles. Is there anything worthy of surprise?"
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes blazing fiercely, like a divine peak unsheathed. Soon, he restrained his sharpness and turned into a sigh:
"It's clearly something passed down from our ancestors, but I had to be a dog to get it back. I feel ashamed of all the ancestors of my Qixuan Sect, and of the many disciples who have died..."
Kuang Minghua's expression was slightly gloomy.
He had paid too much for this hundred-step flying sword, and Qixuanmen had also paid too much.
"With Master's current practice, if I see Qin Jinfeng again, I can kill him with one sword. Unfortunately, his whereabouts are unknown. It is suspected that he died in the explosion in Yuanming Valley.
And that Qi Gang, Junior Brother Tianqing fell into the hands of this person..."
The middle-aged man showed hatred on his face.
Hearing these words, Kuang Minghua's expression dimmed slightly, but he soon calmed down again:
"Yuchi, you came here in a hurry, but you have a letter from the Crown Prince?"
"good."
Yu Chixing nodded, handed over the letter, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered:
"Master, the Hundred Steps Flying Sword is already in our hands, but why do we need to do things for him? We can run away far away, why bother..."
"You think that prince is so weak and easy to bully? Not to mention the power of Longyuan Palace, just the one behind him..."
Kuang Minghua shook his head, unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly focused:
"People from the Six Gates are chasing after...Yang Prison?!"
What?
Upon hearing this name, Yu Chixing's eyes suddenly became sharp:
"That dog thief also came to Changliu Mountain?!"
boom!
Before Kuang Minghua could say anything, he heard an explosion of energy like thunder in the distance. Looking as far as the eye could see, he saw a figure following a huge and astonishing wolf dog chasing after him.
It seems to be heading towards the valley where they are!
"Is there a fire? The thief is hiding in that valley?!"
Seeing the light of fire in the distance, Ling Gang's speed did not increase but decreased. However, before he could stop, he felt a chill in his heart. He raised his gun suddenly and saw a gleam of cold light coming from the sky and the earth.
