The first rays of the rising sun shine through the shade of the trees, bringing out a little bit of light. Falling on Xi's scarred face, the young man shook his head slightly, turned his face sideways and wanted to continue sleeping, but felt that something hurt him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge tiger head lying beside him, and the tiger's whiskers pierced his face like steel needles.

A smile appeared on Xi Scar's face, and he involuntarily reached out and touched Xiaohu's forehead.

Probably because she didn't like someone doing this to her, Boa turned over. The direction in which it turned over was towards the scar, and this time it pressed the scar of the night under its body.

The remnants of the hundreds of pounds of body rolled his eyes wildly: "Bao'er...... Boa ...... You've crushed me!"

The shouting made Xiaohu wake up a little, and he woke up dimly, and saw the remnants of Xi under him, so he tilted his head, as if wondering how he managed to run under his stomach.

The remnants of the night have begun to breathe out more, and take in less air.

He waved his hand and slapped the little tiger weakly.

Xiaohu finally found out that Xi Scar was wrong, so he got up slowly, shook his body and walked to the other side to continue sleeping, as if he was very unimpressed by the weakness of Xi Scar.

Xi Remnant sat up with his chest and pointed at Xiaohu: "You...... Hello...... The assassins of the Shimen sect haven't killed me yet, and you, who protect me, are going to kill me first. ”

Xiaohu glanced at him lazily, tilted his head and continued to nap.

Xi Remnant was helpless, and muttered: "Count you ruthless." ”

Anyway, he had woken up, and the remnants of the night simply stood up, took out the long sword he was carrying, and danced in the forest like this.

The swordsmanship passed on to him by Tang Zheng automatically reflected in his mind, and the remnants of Xi waved according to his memory.

In the end, he is the one who opened the jade gate, even if the spiritual sky has not been opened, there is also an aura running in the body on its own, and at this moment, he dances like a tiger, and it has a bit of sword energy.

Even if he is not a formal immortal cultivator, he at least has a trace of martial arts master's posture.

After a sword skill dance, Xi Remnant collected a single sword, and said to Xiaohu: "Bao'er, what do you think?"

The little tiger yawned lazily, and the tiger's paws slapped on a tree, and a piece of bark had been patted. The bark whistled and flew towards the scar, which swung his sword to block.

He practiced this sword twelve style for three days, and the sword path was basically familiar, so he naturally used the sword style to split the bark at this moment, but he didn't expect the tip of the sword to hit the bark, as if it was cut on the iron, but it knocked the sword of the scar of the night scar, and hit the body of the scar, and a strong force had shaken his whole person out of the body.

Fortunately, this amount of power was used very skillfully, and it flew out with the remnants of the night, which did not hurt him, but only made him fall on his heels.

Xi Remnant sat up with a butt and exclaimed, "It's amazing, is this the immortal law?"

Xiaohu looked at him contemptuously.

The remnants of the evening had already rushed over, grabbed Xiaohu and said, "Can you teach me well?"

"Hmm......" Xiaohu was suddenly upset by this kid's courteous appearance, and took a few steps back for the first time.

Do you want to make a face?

Xiaohu turned his head, and he didn't want to look at him at all, and Ren Xi didn't want to pay attention to it.

"Well, if you don't teach, you don't teach. Seeing that it ignored itself, the scar of the night reluctantly retreated.

He was retreating, and the little tiger suddenly turned his head to look at him, and the tiger's eyes suddenly released a fine light.

Seeing it like this, Xi Remnant first shook for a moment, and then a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and he immediately knew that it was not good, so he rushed forward without looking back.

At the same time, not far behind Xi Scar, a black shadow suddenly appeared, rushing towards Xi Scar at high speed, and slashed a sharp sword light at Xi Scar.

Although the reaction of the Xi Remnant was fast, it was just an ordinary person in the end, and the sword that came from behind him carried the unique aura of a cultivator, and it chased straight after, seeing that the Xi Remnant could not flash again.

"Roar!" the little tiger roared.

The Tiger King roared and shook in all directions, shaking the sword light in the air and condensing slightly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The remnants of the evening had already rolled over and rushed out, rolling on the spot, and the sword light grazed his back and hit the opposite tree.

The sneak attacker missed with one blow, snorted, and the sword light swept across, and then stabbed the remnants of the night.

However, the first attack was unsuccessful, and the sneak attacker had actually missed the best opportunity, and just as the remnants of the night dodged the sword, the little tiger had already rushed forward, and the tiger's claws were raised, colliding with the attacking long sword.

Under the collision of force, the sneak attacker was already snorting and falling back.

While being shaken back by the little tiger's claws, the sneak attacker also let out a cry of disbelief: "Top-grade demon tiger, how is this possible?"

Only then can it be seen that the sneak attacker is a strong man.

His name is Hong Antao, a third-generation disciple of the Shimen Sect, in the Linghu period. Before he entered the Shimen Sect, he was a hunter and was good at tracking, which is why he was sent to hunt down the remnants of Xi. He thought that the assassination of an ordinary teenager was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect that there was a high-grade demon tiger by the side of this young man, and Hong Antao was immediately terrified.

With his strength, not to mention an elite high-grade demon tiger like Bao'er, he may not be an opponent even an ordinary middle-grade demon beast.

Seeing the demon tiger appear at this moment, Hong Antao yelled and turned his head and ran, how could Xiaohu allow him to run away so easily, and chased after him with a roar. Its wings were stretched, the wind and clouds were thunderous, and the speed was many times faster than Hong Antao, and it only sprinted behind Hong Antao, and the tiger's claws were about to be photographed.

If this shot is real, Hong Antao's multiple lives will be useless.

However, at that moment, Hong Antao suddenly shouted, turned around and shot a cyan wind blade.

Xiaohu only glanced at it contemptuously, and was about to ignore it, only to find that the blow was not to himself, but to the remnants of the sun behind it.

It was also startled this time, and then regardless of Hong Antao's life or death, it hurriedly turned around and spit out an electric light, which was the scorching wind light blade, which hit the wind blade first, and the two air blades immediately burst into a flame of light.

Taking this opportunity, Hong Antao has escaped Xiaohu's blow.

Xiaohu was furious, chased after him and was about to make up for it, but Hong Antao did the same, turned around and hit the remnants of Xi again, forcing Xiaohu to come back to help.

Two blows are reactive, which is also extremely rare for Xiaohu.

But this is also the limit of what Hong Antao can do.

His biggest problem is that Xi Scar is not in his hand, and while the two blows are ineffective, he has given Xi Scar enough time, this kid even rolled and hid behind a big tree, and then gave Hong Antao a chance to attack.

Losing the shield of the remnants of the night, Hong Antao's life almost came to an end at the first time.

The roaring tiger shadow rode the wind, and it was already approaching in the blink of an eye.

The huge tiger claw raised and slapped Hong Antao's face, and with a single blow, the Orion's face was smashed to shreds.

At this time, Xiaohu fell back to the ground and roared angrily at Hong Antao.

Although it succeeded in killing the Assassin, it was not in the slightest bit unhappy.

It's just a Linghu step, and he actually let himself fail several times, which is simply unbearable.

Looking back at the remnants of Yu, the boy's head was peeking out from behind.

Xiaohu suddenly felt that this young man's strength was really too weak, so weak that as long as he existed, he would drag himself back.

Well, maybe it's time to teach him something.

Xiaohu proudly realized.

At the very least, this kid has to have at least the strength to protect himself when the next wave of attacks comes.

——————————

Shimen Peak.

Liang Xingbang and Shi Jingzhai walked anxiously around the room, and it wasn't until Yu Wanniang came in that they greeted them together and asked, "How is it?"

Yu Wanniang shook her head with a pale face.

The hearts of the two sank at the same time, and Shi Jingzhai hurriedly said: "What do you mean by shaking your head, are you talking?"

Yu Wanniang replied: "Lu Dong didn't come back, he and his men suddenly disappeared. ”

"Gone?" the two were stunned, "What about the townspeople?"

Yu Wanniang replied, "Nothing happened in the town. When the sun rose, everything went on as usual, and only Lu Dong and them were missing. ”

Hearing this, the two of them gasped.

When things came to this point, Shi Jingzhai and Liang Xingbang realized that something was wrong.

If it was just someone who inadvertently got a piece of crystallized sand silkworm, then there should not have been a collective disappearance of Lu Dong and others anyway, which means that the matter is definitely not a coincidence, but someone is deliberately pushing it.

In this way, the nature of the matter is completely different. Thinking of this, the hearts of the three of them were not calm at the same time.

Who is secretly working against them?

Spread news, create rumors, and even secretly kill people from the Shimen Sect?

After thinking for a while, Shi Jingzhai said: "I think this matter is very suspicious. After all, all this happened after Tang Zheng came, and his mission was also prospecting. Could it be that he found something in the mine?"

Yu Wanniang asked, "If that's the case, why didn't he ask anything that night?" and if he found out, why didn't he just tell the Moon Washing Sect about it, but did it?"

Shi Jingzhai couldn't answer this question, so he said angrily: "How do I know Lu Dao? ”

Liang Xingbang snorted coldly: "It's unknown whether the matter is related to the Tang Tribulation, but I know that if we catch the Tang Tribulation, within three days, the real people of the Moon Washing Sect will be killed, and the Shimen Sect will be killed." ”

"I'm afraid that if I don't arrest him, this is the end!" Shi Jingzhai roared: "I didn't find this person yesterday, and this kind of thing happened that night, if you want to say that it has nothing to do with him, I absolutely don't believe it." ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Wanniang's expression suddenly became exciting: "I'm afraid that this matter really has nothing to do with Tang Zheng." ”

"Huh?" The two looked at Yu Wanniang together.

Yu Wanniang replied: "The two maidservants I arranged for Tang Zheng to be by my side told me that Tang Zheng came back last night, and he has been cultivating since he came back, and he has not been out again. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Shi Jingzhai asked urgently.

Yu Wanniang replied angrily: "I only learned about the Tao this morning, that kid travels in the mountains and rivers during the day, and practices qi practice at night, I have nothing to do to keep an eye on him every day?"

"Can you confirm that it's Tang Zheng himself?" Shi Jingzhai always felt a little uneasy.

Yu Wanniang replied: "There must be no doubt." Those two girls were originally specially arranged by me for Tang Zheng, and I didn't have to try my best to seduce them one day, but that kid was bent on the Tao and didn't care about it. Even so, it is also daily contact, and idlers can't be fooled. ”

"I'm afraid that kid is not idle. "Liang Xingbang surveyed the road.

"Senior brother, does this mean that you have recognized Tang Tribulation?"

Liang Xingbang hesitated, but finally shook his head: "That's not it, it's actually ......."

Actually, he didn't say anything, but at that moment, a thought rose in the hearts of the three of them at the same time:

If it has nothing to do with Tang Tribulation, then who else will it have to do with it?

The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly their hearts sank at the same time, but they didn't speak.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkwardly silent, and after a while, Shi Jingzhai smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liang, I remember that the crystallized sand silkworm has always been kept by you, right?"

Liang Xingbang's face sank: "Third junior brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Ask casually, don't be too careful, second senior brother. Shi Jingzhai said with a smile.

Liang Xingbang snorted: "I'm afraid it's not that I'm too careful, but someone is too careful, right? The crystallized sand silkworm is a good one for me to keep, but how much is the stock I have there, and if I don't believe it, I can check it out and see if there is a piece missing." On the contrary, the person in charge of this excavation is Senior Brother Shi, and it is not up to you to decide how much to dig out. It's not impossible that one or two pieces were dug up and not recorded. ”

Shi Jingzhai said angrily: "You fart, Lao Tzu must not take off his stripes first when he goes in and out, and no matter how many things you take out, they will fall into your eyes, where else can you hide? Lao Tzu risked his life to get these benefits for everyone, but in exchange for such slander, how can this really be reasonable!"

Liang Xingbang also said angrily: "Didn't you talk about me first?"

Yu Wanniang was busy playing a round next to her: "Okay, okay, it's all your own people, what are you fighting for?"

Shi Jingzhai said angrily: "Yu Wanniang, don't be on the side, you have a share of this matter." You made the connection with that side, and you took the sample stone. I gave you five pieces, but you didn't get any of them back, who knows if this is one of them?"

Yu Wanniang was angry when she heard this: "Yo, why is this still up to me? Aren't those crystallized sand silkworms used to win the trust over there and open up the joints? It's easy for you to do this as an old lady? You have to deal with those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, and it's easy not to let them grab the handle, there are many ways in this, and from time to time you have to let people take advantage of it, and when you meet the black-hearted one, even the belt bones can be eaten for you." It took all the effort to get things done, but in the end, how could I be accused again? This is really thankless. ”

The three of them looked at each other, sat down together in a huff, and ignored each other.

After a while, I felt that it was not a matter to go on like this, but after all, Liang Xingbang said: "You say, will this matter have anything to do with those guys?"

"They?" Shi Jingzhai lowered his head and pondered: "It shouldn't be, the price given to them is already very cheap." ”

Yu Wanniang's eyes flashed: "It's hard to say, people are always greedy, if you can get one more point, you won't take one less point." If they really make trouble, they don't know. For example, take advantage of this incident to release the wind and create pressure for us, and then take the opportunity to lower the price afterwards......"

Shi Jingzhai and Liang Xingbang gasped at the same time: "It won't be so dark, right?"

"It's hard to say. Yu Wanniang was worried: "This happened as soon as Tang Zheng arrived. This may not be a coincidence, but someone is trying to take the opportunity to force us. After all, Tang Zheng is just a student, not even a formal disciple, what ability does he have to discover our arrangement? Even if he does, what reason is there to do so? Not to mention that I have probed his bottom with the secret method of asking the heart. On the contrary, those guys, whether they have scheming, ability or motivation, are the only ones who can easily clean up Lu Dong and the others silently. ”

"If that's the case, it's going to be a problem. Liang Xingbang said worriedly.

Yu Wanniang shook her head: "It may not be too troublesome, if they really did it, things will be simpler." They just want a cheaper price, and as long as they are willing to lower the price, they should be able to solve the problem. ”

Shi Jingzhai said angrily: "You said it easily, do you know how many goods this is? This is the accumulation of more than 30 years in the pie! Not only are there crystallized sand silkworms, but also the spirit stones and other treasures that everyone has hoarded over the years, which can't be filled in mustard seed bags." So many goods have been given to them at 60% of the market price, do you still want to lower it? How low do you want to push it down?"

Yu Wanniang was also angry: "Can you not do this? Don't you see that everyone has already bullied them?"

Shi Jingzhai roared: "That's also your problem, in the final analysis, it's the wrong person you're looking for!"

Yuwan was crazy: "Okay, then you go and find it." This is worth tens of millions of dollars, you have to find a sect that can take over and dare to take over!"

Shi Jingzhai still wanted to scold, but was held down by Liang Xingbang: "Okay, okay, why are you arguing again? Isn't it still unsure what the hell is going on? Wan Niang, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you to go. Those people are the ones you contact, and you have to ask them if they did it. If so, what are the plans? ”

The short and chubby Liang Xingbang looks not as imposing as Shi Jingzhai in plain life, but he has always been a think tank in this trio, and many ideas are actually from him, he has given his opinion at this moment, and Yu Wanniang and Shi Jingzhai are also willing to listen.

At this moment, Yu Wanniang nodded with a calm face: "I'll contact them later." ”

Liang Xingbang continued: "In addition, if something like this happens, the goods can no longer be released, and this transaction must be completed as soon as possible." These days, I will sleep in the storeroom, day and night, in case of accidents. Lao Shi, you go and keep an eye on Tang Zheng. ”

"What are you staring at him?" Shi Jingzhai was puzzled.

Liang Xingbang replied: "Although those servants said that Tang Zheng was there all the time last night, the words of those sluts are still not enough, and you must always be careful about Tang Zheng." ”

"Okay. Shi Jingzhai replied unwillingly.

Yu Wanniang asked, "What about the town?"

"The news can't be blocked, so it can only be allowed to spread, anyway, if there is no evidence, just treat it as a rumor. "The matter has come to this, Liang Xingbang has figured it out, no matter how anxious it is, it is useless. Even if the Moon Washing Sect really came to ask, as long as there was no evidence, it would be a rumor. The key is to clean up all the hands and tails before this, otherwise it will be called death if you leave evidence of the crime.

"The last is the kid who sells sand silkworms, although Ding Chao swore that kid was just an ordinary person, but An Tao has not returned yet, and now it seems that it is not easy to be afraid, and it is still necessary to send a capable person to kill that kid. Liang Xingbang said.

Yu Wanniang frowned: "If it's really someone over there, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to kill it like this?"

Liang Xingbang sneered and said: "Don't worry about this, since they dare to make ghosts, they should also have the consciousness of bearing the consequences." Dare to harm my Shimen sect...... No mercy!"
