The old man's hair and beard were so long that he almost covered his face, and he was covered in dirt, and he couldn't see what he looked like. He dragged a three- or four-meter-long Xuanbing iron chain in his hand, which was obviously the other part of the broken iron chain.

All four were taken aback as they took a few steps back.

He Yuanyi shouted: "Who is the senior?"

The old man didn't answer his words, his expression was stern, his fierce gaze swept over the four of them, and he asked himself, "Which of you is a disciple of Huaqingmen?"

The four of them listened and looked at each other. Except for Yu Chu, the other three all knew that Huaqingmen, which was the legendary great sect of cultivating immortals, was far stronger than their small sects.

The country where they are located is called the State of Chu. The territory of Chu is vast, with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. There are many kinds of immortal cultivation sects in China, at least hundreds, or even thousands, of immortal cultivation sects.

Whether it is the Huaqing Sect, or the Baixuanmen, the Changkong Sect, or the Baiyang Sect, they are all the immortal cultivation sects of the Chu State. These immortal cultivation sects, if they have to be ranked, Huaqing Sect can at least be ranked in the top five, or even the top three, and belong to the first-class immortal cultivation sect in Chu State.

The Baixuanmen, Changkongmen, and Baiyang Sect belong to the bottom stream, even if they are not the bottom, they must be ranked hundreds of places away. Compared with Huaqingmen, the gap is so big that there is no way to compare it at all.

The three of them hesitated for a moment, and Bai Suxin spoke: "Senior, this is Baitou Mountain, and none of us are disciples of Huaqingmen. ”

&Toushan?" The old man frowned and muttered to himself, "That's close to the edge of the Chu State, and there is at least a hundred thousand miles between it and the Huaqing Gate." So I've been here all along?"

& generation. Bai Suxin called the old man again, and asked tentatively, "Why did the senior ask Huaqingmen?"

>What?" The old man's face suddenly showed hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You ask me why? I'm locked here, it's all done by the disciples of the Huaqing Sect, why do you ask me?"

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Let me ask you, have you ever heard of the name Zhuo Zhenzong?"

"Zhenzong?" Zhou said abruptly: "Nine Spirit Sect Master?"

&Have you heard of it?" The old man shouted, suddenly jumped forward, and grabbed Zhou Chong's right arm, Zhou Chong didn't watch out, and was caught by him.

&Generation, let go. Zhou Chong said loudly.

The old man grabbed his arm and continued to ask, "Have you heard of Zhuo Zhenzong?"

He Yuanyi said: "Senior, please let him go, the name Zhuo Zhenzong, we have all heard of it, it is the sect leader of the Nine Spirits." It's just that I don't know if the Zhuo Zhenzong mentioned by the predecessors is the same person as the Zhuo Zhenzong we know. ”

The old man turned his head and said to He Yuanyi, "What are the characteristics of that Nine Spirit Sect Master?"

He Yuanyi pondered: "This Jiulingmen sect leader is a fat man, and he is good at using all kinds of poisonous insects. The nine spirits of the Nine Spirits Gate refer to all kinds of poisonous insects, including poisonous spiders, poisonous centipedes, poisonous snakes, poisonous ants, etc. ”

"Haha!" the old man laughed wildly, "Good at poisoning insects, it's a fat man, and sure enough, it's him." ”

& Lingmen Sect Master, is the person the seniors are looking for?" Bai Suxin said.

The old man said coldly: "What is the sect leader of the Nine Spiritual Sect, he is just an ordinary disciple of the Huaqing Gate guarding the Spirit Beast Garden, he was lucky for a while, and he got a copy of the "Insect Control Sutra", but I didn't expect that in a frontier place like yours, he actually opened a sect and became the master of a sect." Hehe! There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king. ”

When the four of them heard him say this, they looked at each other, but no one dared to refute it.

Zhou Chong interjected, "The establishment of the Nine Spirits Gate is only a matter of the last ten years. ”

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "I fell for his plot and was locked up here for the past ten years. ”

Then he remembered the past and continued: "Back then, I searched for the elixir with him, and in this cave, I found the green spirit fruit. Zhuo Zhenzong's dog thief wanted to swallow it alone, and while I was unprepared, he injured me. He pierced my pipa bone with a Xuanbing iron, locked me to the steel stone, and asked me to help him guard the green spirit fruit. ”

& He was so wishful thinking, but unfortunately he missed a step, if he just locked me up with a black ice iron chain, I wouldn't be able to get out. But the dog thief was not at ease, and planted poisonous insects at the entrance of the cave to block the entrance of the cave. But I didn't know that in this way, it just helped me, I tried my best to attract poisonous insects into the belly of the mountain, and used the poison secreted by poisonous insects to corrode the Xuanbing iron chain, year after year, more than ten years, and finally corroded and broke this chain. ”

As he spoke, he lifted a piece of the chain in his hand and looked down, his face once again showing a thick hatred.

Yu Chu heard the old man's tone become more and more intense, and he couldn't help but quietly take a few steps back. The old man was so obsessed with reminiscing about the past that he didn't seem to notice it.

Bai Suxin asked, "Senior's surname?"

A hint of gloom flashed across the old man's face, "Nameless man, you don't know what I said. His gaze swept over the four of them again, "Speaking of which, thank you very much." ”

Zhou Chong said: "Seniors don't have to be polite, we didn't do anything." ”

The old man had a stiff smile on his face, which seemed indescribably far-fetched, and this smile was at first glance, and it felt that his apology was insincere.

>> If you hadn't gotten the poisonous worm out of the hole, how would I have gotten out of trouble even if I had broken the ice chain?"

Bai Suxin smiled, "The seniors are too polite. ”

The four of you are here to find the Green Spirit Fruit, right?" the old man asked suddenly.

Hearing him ask so directly, except for Yu Chu, the other three were stunned. Zhou Chong smiled reluctantly, "Don't hide it from our predecessors, we did come here for this purpose." But now, since the Qingling Fruit belongs to our predecessors, we don't force it. ”

The old man thought for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand and took out a small jade box from his arms, and the jade box was opened, and there were more than a dozen green spirit fruits in it.

For some reason, Yu Chu felt a burst of danger for no reason, and took a few steps back again. Bai Suxin and the three of them looked at each other, and couldn't figure out what the old man meant for a while, Bai Suxin couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean, senior?"

The old man's face showed a smile again, "You saved me, and I don't have anything good except for the Qingling Fruit." These dozen or so green spirit fruits, even if it is my gratitude to you. ”

The three of them were overjoyed, and Zhou Chong hurriedly said, "Thank you seniors." ”

As he spoke, he reached out to take it. The old man was still holding one of his arms, so Zhou Chong was the closest to him, and it was most convenient to take the green spirit fruit.

The old man took the jade box, but didn't give it to him, turned to Bai Suxin and He Yuanyi, and then sent the jade box forward, "Take it." ”

Looking at what he meant, it seemed that he didn't want to give it to Zhou Chong, but to Bai Suxin and He Yuanyi.

The three of them still didn't realize the problem, and at the same time thanked them, "Thank you, senior." ”

Bai Suxin and He Yuanyi stepped forward at the same time, and they were about to pick up the jade box containing the green spirit fruit.

When Yu Chu saw the old man's movements, he immediately understood, and couldn't help but remind loudly, "Don't go over, it's dangerous, get out of the way." As he spoke, he took a green step and retreated sharply.

Bai Suxin was taken aback, she still trusted Chu, listened to his reminder, and subconsciously floated back. He Yuanyi saw her retreat, and also retreated.

Only Zhou Chong's arm was grabbed by the old man, and he wanted to retreat, but he couldn't break free of the old man's palm.

"Die!" the old man scolded hatefully, threw the jade box to the ground, the jade box fell to the ground, and the green spirit fruit was scattered on the ground. At the same time, in the palm of his hand, a small vial appeared, stretched out his fingers, flicked the vial in the air, and then exploded, a puff of black smoke filled out, quickly enveloping Zhou Chong and himself.

The smoke was still dispersing rapidly, and the old man suddenly stretched out his hand and patted it, and a palm wind pushed the smoke and chased after Bai Suxin and He Yuanyi.

Yu Chu was alert early, retreated early, and when the smoke came out, he had already fled far away.

As soon as Bai Suxin got Yu Chu's reminder, he retreated sharply, and the smoke couldn't catch up. He Yuanyi saw Bai Su's heart retreat, so he retreated backwards, and then slowed down by half a beat. The smoke was pushed by the old man's palm wind, and quickly swept towards He Yuanyi. He Yuanyi was still retreating sharply, unable to dodge, and in his eagerness, he couldn't think of resisting.

&Childe, beware. Bai Suxin stopped, raised his hand and slapped it out, and the palm wind howled, scattering the smoke that hit He Yuanyi.

& Miss Xie Bai. He Yuanyi stood still, looking still palpitating, and hurriedly thanked Bai Suxin.

The belly of the mountain was very large, and the smoke quickly dispersed, and the old man stood still, not moving.

Zhou Chong's body slowly softened, it seemed that the true qi of his whole body was restrained, and he lost his ability to act, only to see his face full of anger, and scolded weakly: "Despicable! You are a senior master, what kind of ability is it to use poisonous smoke to plot!"

Then he reminded Bai Suxin and the others, "Ahem, you have to be careful, it is a hundred poisonous soft smoke, which is refined with the poison in the body of various poisonous insects, and the person who inhales it will have a weak body and can't use his true qi, so there must be an antidote on him." ”

Bai Suxin's face flashed with anger, and he shouted: "Why did the seniors do this? We have no grievances with you, and we saved you, you don't want to repay you, but it's okay, why do you want to assassinate us?"

"Hey!" the old man said with a dry smile: "The old man has been trapped in this place for more than ten years, and his cultivation has almost been consumed, and his strength has dropped greatly. You must first find a place to resume cultivation before you can find Zhuo Zhenzong for revenge. If the old man doesn't kill you, if the news of me spreads to Zhuo Zhenzong's ears and is found by him in advance, how will the old man have a way to live?"

Bai Suxin was patient and persuaded: "Senior, we don't know the Nine Spirits Sect Master, how can we tell him about our seniors?

The old man said with a calm face: "Only the dead will keep secrets, how can the old man risk his own life?" With a shake of his hand, the Xuanbing iron chain swung out and drew it towards Bai Suxin.
