Going through hundreds of battles will not only develop extraordinary martial arts and reflexes, but it will also leave you with injuries. Qing Fen's most recent battle was when he was bitten by a vampire in the dark martial arts field. In order not to turn into that strange creature, he had to use the Celestial Silkworm Technique to seal his meridians to temporarily lock the drop of original blood. It's not a big problem if you don't use your internal energy normally, but once you use a martial skill as violent as a lion's roar, if you still have to maintain the seal of the internal energy, it will be equivalent to damaging the Qi meridians.
She roared to defeat the enemy, but in the end, both of them were injured. Xiaoqian carefully realized that the opponent had hidden dangers. Although her martial arts was high, she was unable to display it to her fullest. Just when she was about to add insult to injury, there was another strange roar in the woods. It was so ghostly that even the air had solidified.
"Grandma, it's grandma here! Why did grandma leave the quarantine early?"
Xiao Zhuo had a look of horror on his face when he heard the sound. According to what she just said, this "grandma" was either her parent or her master, but for some reason her face looked even more frightened and ugly at this time than when Qing Fen captured her.
No need to listen to the screams of the red gauze girl, Qing Fen can feel the pressure and murderous aura pouring in even if he closes his eyes, but the strange thing is that he can't feel where the enemy is, which is better than the white gauze girl Xiaoqian It was as if Yichou had truly become invisible.
Both of them are pranksters, and Qing Fen is not surprised at all. He is still coughing in his mouth, and he is filling his feet with air and is ready to go out.
The evil energy rushed in from afar like destroying the city and destroying the village. Qing Fen held up a branch as a sword until the evil energy came within ten feet of him. Unexpectedly, the aura that seemed like black clouds overwhelming the city came and went even faster. He was about ten feet away. The moment suddenly disappeared without a trace, the moonlight became clear again, and the sound of swaying branches and leaves sounded again. Everything that happened a moment ago seemed to be just someone's illusion.
Why is it gone? Could it be that it is flying to the sky No, it is escaping to the ground!
The flickering gap instantly affected Qing Fen's reaction. By the time he noticed something was wrong, it was already half a step too late. The ground beneath him suddenly turned over as if a gun had been buried, and countless branches and roots were splashed by the soil. It broke out of the ground and wrapped around Qing Fen like the tentacles of a living creature.
This is really not a tree demon?
Qing Fen once again wondered if the way he got up was wrong. Could what he was doing be done with martial arts and acrobatics? He had doubts in his heart, but time did not give him any more time to think about it. The tree rolls came quickly and densely, covering the sky and the sun, and criss-crossing them. He cut them with a sword but only slightly blocked the incoming force. The seemingly ordinary tree roots and branches were actually hard to compare with. Gold and stone!
The masters fought each other, but there were already too many mistakes in one move. More roots followed, overwhelming Qing Fen and tightly wrapping it into a tree roll. Countless hollow silver needles as thin as hair were drilled out from the bark to pierce them. Deep inside the tree, the person inside can be sucked into a mummy without even half a cup of hot tea.
"Grandma"
The red and white girls called out at the same time.
"shut up!"
A middle-aged woman¡¯s voice was shrill and shrill in the middle of the earth. It echoed in all directions, making it impossible to tell which tree the speaker was under.
"What did I order you to do? Don't attract the attention of people in the martial arts world by keeping quiet during my period of seclusion! Do you think your wings have grown hard? Why don't you listen to my orders?"
"Grandma, calm down, it's me"
Baisha Nu just opened her mouth to protect her companions from disaster, but her grandma stopped her.
"Shut up! This matter is clearly caused by Xiaozhuo's greedy temperament and lack of restraint. Xiaoqian, please stop trying to dress her up! If she was half as smart and well-behaved as you, I don't know how much effort I could save!"
"Grandma, I"
The girl in red gauze was really aggrieved and angry. She stamped her feet and wondered if she wanted to act coquettishly, but her grandma's temperament was really impatient. She stopped her disciple's words with another shout.
"Shut up! You, eh, that's not right!"
The girl in red gauze was used to being scolded by her grandma. She was already prepared to endure another violent storm, but suddenly she heard something "wrong" and inexplicably saw several rays of light appearing in the air in front of her. , the several-foot-thick tree volume instantly collapsed and turned into sawdust all over the sky. A figure suddenly jumped into the air, and the sword light reflected the moon and dyed the night sky blood red.
What a beautiful sword!
Faced with the sudden change, the sword seemed to have infinite magic power, attracting all the red gauze girl's eyes to it.
That is a unique Japanese weapon, its whole body is crystal clear and flawless. The sword body is long and narrow but has a single edge, resembling a knife but also like a sword. It is like a long blade polished by ice chips that exudes a faint halo under the moon. The white jade-like long handle is inlaid with seven bright red gems on the front and back. A foot of silk tape hangs from the hilt of the sword to tie three diamond-shaped, triangular, and round crystals. The sword dances with exquisite jingles, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"What a good boy! There is such a good sword that can break the bonds of my Demonic Tree. Grandma is mistaken!It's a pity that you have internal injuries and will eventually be destined to become grandma's fertilizer. No matter how good the sword is, it can only be buried with you! "
The old monster's moral behavior is indeed not comparable to that of a little monster. He is not fooled by the magic sword at all. Countless branches and roots rise up from the sky, seemingly trying to repeat his old tricks.
"Ahem, I only know a good sword, but how can I know that swordsmanship is better?"
Qing Fen¡¯s cough hasn¡¯t stopped yet, Ling Bo Zhan Yue has already come out with his sword. This style of swordsmanship is all about artistic conception and concentration of power. A single strike of the sword should be like a flying swallow crossing the pond and breaking through the moon with its wingtips. It can defeat the enemy without using internal force. If this style of swordsmanship had been used by its original owner, it would have been like a swift plundering by a swift bird, with all the bloodshed being submerged in the beauty. However, the swordsmanship used by Qing Fen had the same mood but was completely different. The mighty and domineering style was fully revealed. Like a swimming dragon, the light of the sword is like waves, and the power of the move is born from the branch, which opens a "sword path" with a diameter of more than ten feet.
"Sure enough, your swordsmanship is good. Come againhey, where are you going?"
Grandma, I guess, is an upright tree demon. She only thinks that since the other party is a master, she will definitely compete with her in a bloody battle with Three Lily. Unexpectedly, Qing Fen has never been shameless and does not consider himself a master. He has suffered internal injuries and is unlucky. In addition, the tree demon has been hiding underground for a while and cannot even find his position. If he continues to fight, he will lose. Victory? He just accepted the deal and came to check the truth, and it wasn't like he had any life-or-death grudge. He slashed his way out with a sword, and then the soles of his shoes were smeared with grease.
Grandma Dryad did not expect that there would be such a shameless master in the world. She was caught off guard and it was too late to pursue her, leaving only a roar that shook the sky and shook the forest here and there¡ª¡ª
The moon was setting and the sun was rising. It was almost noon in the blink of an eye. Qing Fen slowly exhaled a mouthful of blood-red mist. It took him half a day to finally straighten out the breath.
"Is Mr. Qing awake?"
"I don't know, he has been sitting like that since last night, and he even breathed out red breath just now! Dad, do you think this gentleman is also like the great immortals"
"Yes, yes, it's your size! If it weren't for Mr. Qing, you, the rebellious boy, would have sold all my bone marrow by now! Get lost, don't let me see you again!"
Just when Qing Fen was concentrating on finishing his work and half asleep, two loud voices outside the door made him wake up instantly. After hearing a few words, he couldn't help but feel funny. These two people really deserve to be father and son.
Thinking back to running all the way back to Guobei County last night, those big guys and little guys didn't know whether they were tied up in the forest or not, but they didn't chase him. Fortunately, I had done good things during the day. Old Man Zhang, a kind man, was grateful to me for saving him. The son was also afraid that he would never return once he entered the ghost mountain. The old man actually squatted at the foot of the mountain and waited for him for most of the night. Although the summer night was not too cold, it was still not easy for old man Zhang at his age. Qing was so moved at the time that he did not refuse to be polite even though he was injured, so he was immediately dragged home by the old man to provide medical care. stand up.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm awake. Please come in if you have nothing to do."
Qing Fen spread out his legs and got out of bed. This room originally belonged to the old man, and he insisted on sleeping in this "upper room" last night. Although it was just a rough bed and hard pillows, this simple friendship was not fake at all.
"Mr. Qing, wake up, come on, little old man, I've boiled a few eggs and fried two pancakes. There's not much good stuff in this small place in the countryside, so you can make some for breakfast."
Hearing the sound, Old Man Zhang quickly opened the door and walked in. He had two cakes wrapped in oil paper in one hand and two hard-boiled eggs in the other hand.
"Old man, please stop working. Let's sit down and eat together. I still have something to ask you."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of hunger, grabbed the big cake and stuffed it into his mouth in two or three bites, and vaguely asked the old man to sit next to him. Old man Zhang smiled cheerfully when he saw the young man eating happily. He grabbed a chair and sat across from the guest.
"Old man, what is going on on this haunted hilltop? Last night I chased those guys who were pretending to be ghosts and ran up the hill, and then I suddenly saw them covered in two strips, one red and one white. I couldn't tell whether they were human figures or ghosts. Ying's belongings were taken away. Actually, I heard that this place was haunted before I came here. Please explain it to me clearly."
Qing Fen¡¯s words are half true and half false. It¡¯s not that he means to deceive. It¡¯s just that knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing for ordinary people.
"Sir, there is no need to explain. A person like you would come to a small and remote county like ours. I have long guessed that there must be some reason. Although I don't know much, I know that you are a good person. But if you have any use for me, just ask."
Old man Zhang nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression gradually became serious.
"This hilltop originally belonged to our Guobei County. My ancestors have been collecting firewood here.I hunted, and said it was haunted, but actually it only happened since about last fall.
The first person to have an accident was a worker from the butcher Zhang's family in the west of the county. On weekdays, he would go into the mountains to collect firewood before dawn every day, and rush back before sunrise to boil water and boil pots. But that day, he did not come back until three o'clock in the morning. silhouette. This young worker was a foreigner, and at that time everyone just thought he ran away because he couldn't bear the abuse from the Zhang family. The wife of Butcher Zhang's family stood on the street and cursed for a long time, but no one cared about it after that.
The second person to have an accident was the few scholars in the county. That day they heard that they were going to go to the mountains to enjoy the beautiful scenery, drink and write poems - to be honest, my old man didn't understand. There wasn't even a good road on the mountain, and the only remaining temple was in ruins and had been abandoned for many years. What kind of place is there to visit? Anyway, a group of them just went there. One day later, only one of them escaped down the mountain. He was already crazy and kept saying words such as "Female ghosts eat people". That's when the legend of the haunting began.
With such a big thing happening, of course the county magistrate must investigate it thoroughly. He led our hunters and catchers to search the mountain, but they found the corpses of those scholars. However, it was said that the corpses of those scholars were extremely horrific, and it was definitely not something that humans could do. At that time, everyone who went up the mountain almost rolled down the mountain. From then on, the county boss issued an order to close the mountain. "
Old man Zhang was not very dexterous with his tongue, but his mind was very clear, and he clearly explained the details of the future haunting word by word. Qing Fen nodded. This kind of story was quite satisfactory, and there weren't many clues to find.
Yesterday, Qing Fen had already fought against the Dryad Granny and the red and white female ghosts, so of course he knew what roles those characters were. But the problem is, as mentioned at the beginning, there is no reason for a woman who practices the kind of energy-absorbing technique to take the initiative to live in seclusion in the wilderness to cultivate her character, and catch a few villagers who have no skills and eat them half-full. There must be something fishy.
¡° Among the three people I saw last night, the tree demon grandma is a person with great martial arts skills but an impatient and simple temper. Xiaozhuo, a girl in red gauze, was narrow-minded and jealous, and couldn't turn a corner. He threw a bone at her and she bit her companion. Only Xiaoqian, the girl in white gauze, is thoughtful and steady, and has considerable martial arts talent. She can do great things, but unfortunately her personality does not seem like someone who likes to take the lead. If the combination of these three people were all the participants in the haunting incident, then there would be many loopholes left.
¡°Has no one ever gone up the mountain since then?¡±
"No way! There are always so many people in this world who don't believe in evil. I remember it was the beginning of spring this year. Cheng Tieniu drank too much and made a bet with someone, saying that he dared to stay one night on the haunted mountain. He bet a whole tael. Money, but it turned out that the meat buns beat the dogs and never came back. Since then, I have occasionally heard of people going into the mountains. Some said they saw goblins with three heads and six arms and managed to escape with their lives. Some said that the female ghost was so beautiful that she was in the mountains. They have enjoyed a month or two of sexual blessings there, and some people don¡¯t even ask for a doctor when they get sick. They just say that they went out at night and encountered evil spirits, but they invite some witches and gods to exorcise the evil spirits. The whole thing is a mess!"
Old man Zhang sighed as he spoke. Qing Fen also shook his head. This piece of information was useless. It seemed that he had to find another way to find a solution.
?????????? Actually, after all, there is no deep grudge between myself and the three female ghosts that must be resolved, they are just making deals with others to find out the truth. Now I basically have a vague understanding of their situation. If I just return it to Tongten Pavilion, it will not be difficult to deduce the whole story from their martial arts, appearance, etc. based on their database. It's just that doing something like this would be suspected of cheating. Secondly, and more importantly, the red gauze girl killed someone. If it was just a martial arts fight, that would be fine. But according to what Old Man Zhang said, the dead included innocent civilians. Although I am not so arbitrary as to sentence someone to death after hearing one side of the story, I cannot let go of the situation now that I know the situation.
Thinking of this, Qing Fen stuffed the last egg into his mouth in three bites, patted the crumbs of the pancake in his hands and stood up.
"Thank you, old man, for the pancakes and eggs. I have something else to do and I'll take my leave now. By the way, your son is actually very filial. You might as well praise him more. I heard people say that the more he scolds him, the stupider he gets. , the more you praise, the smarter you become!"
After saying goodbye to the old man and leaving the Zhang family¡¯s door, the sun was already high in the sky. It was a warm summer day. Yesterday's incident involving the Great God of the White Lotus Sect did not seem to have any impact on this small county town. Smoke was lingering from the rooftops, and occasionally informal villagers were seen walking and eating on the street with large earthen porcelain bowls. It was a scene of a leisurely countryside. . The dangerous tree had been chopped down to only half of its pitch-black stump. No one took a second glance at it. Qing Fen couldn't help but admire the people of Guobei County for their strong ability to adapt to the environment.
Qing sighed as he walked in Guobei County as if taking a walk. Many of the others knew this "demon" who fought against the "immortal master" yesterday.??, even though they knew they were all fakes, everyone was still fearful and in awe, and no one dared to come forward and talk to them. Qing was happy and relieved that no one else would bother him. He searched through the small Guobei County and soon found what he was looking for outside a secluded walled courtyard.
"The remaining traces of fine powder should be unmistakable."
Qing Fen clapped his hands and shook off something that was wiped off a four-wheeled carriage that should never belong to this remote small county. He then knocked on the door of the house next to the carriage.
"People inside open the door! What you committed has been revealed!"
