About 100 miles away from Songyang Town, there is a Danxia Mountain far away from the official road, and there is a third-rate cultivation sect with an unknown reputation in the mountain, Danxia Sect.

The reason why the Danxia Sect can only be ranked into the third rate is said to be because the disciples who practice in this sect are uneven, although many of them also have some talents that can be created with a good foundation of cultivation, but because the sect has always been optimistic about recruiting people, it has always been optimistic about repaying the more the better, so it has also recruited a lot of people who come to the mountains to eat and drink。

What should I do if there are more monks and less porridge?

Naturally, people had to be sent to find supplies, but Danxia Mountain itself was outside the wilderness, how could there be so many materials that could satisfy the hundreds of mouths of the entire sect? As a last resort, the disciples who were sent out to forage for food naturally slapped their minds on the heads of the passers-by at the foot of the mountain.

At first, because this mountain road across the foot of the mountain, it was shorter than taking the official road outside, so those merchants who walked the horse and the merchant were willing to take this mountain road, after all, doing business, the emphasis is on maintaining higher efficiency in time, but as more and more merchants have inexplicably accidents near Danxia Mountain, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to walk on this road, and it is said that there are ghosts and monsters in this deep mountain, specifically feeding on passing by.

Sage Cloud: Zi is silent, and the strange power is chaotic.

As scholars who read the books of saints, they naturally don't believe that there are really any ghosts in this world, so there are still some bold poor scholars who insist on taking this mountain road, and even a few heroes threaten to try their luck in the mountains to see if they can meet any fairy-like female ghosts.

As the saying goes, when the peony flower dies, it is also romantic to be a ghost, and it is undoubtedly a great wind flow among thousands of winds to be able to get this kind of death.

However, when these scholars who did not believe in evil really entered the area of Danxia Mountain, and were caught by those disciples of the Danxia Sect, they finally felt remorse for their impulsiveness, and in their hearts, they couldn't help but curse at those guys who created ghost rumors outside, after all, where did this gorgeous female ghost come from? There was only a group of hungry cultivators born as bandits in the mountains and forests, robbing and murdering passers-by.

There are no exceptions, but all those who enter this mountain are basically lost in this mountain forest, of course, there are some people who are in a hurry, and after some verbal bargaining, they finally got a big reversal, successfully joined the Danxia Sect, and became a member of the murder together.

Chen Changsheng is one of the few people who have successfully reversed, one of the more famous, this person was originally a descendant of a poor family born in the Lingzhou realm, but no one else can know where the specific person is except himself.

He has joined the Danxia Sect for more than two years, and the reason why he is famous is because every time this person travels after a mission, he often returns with a full load, as if he was born to be extremely familiar with doing this kind of dirty thing, but in fact, no one knows that the reason why he can meet the above requirements is not at all according to the instructions of the three sect masters, just to do it on passers-by, but from time to time to take the disciples in the door to some poor villages in Lingzhou to rob houses, and after each action, in order not to show the news, he will let the people below slaughter and exterminate the village。

Of course, he himself is not a fool, he knows that this kind of behavior is done too intensively, and sooner or later it will be exposed, so in the past two years or so, there have only been five villages that have been destroyed by him, and the last time he did this kind of thing was more than three months ago.

Today is the first time he has traveled to find supplies since joining the sect, but as usual, he will first take his disciples to wait for a few days on the side of the mountain road at the foot of the mountain.

"Elder Chen, we have been waiting here for three days, but not even a fly has flown on this road, it seems that no one will pass by here in the future, let's not wait, or you can take the little ones to find a village, and then ......"

This disciple of the Danxia Sect did not finish the next words, but his slender eyes narrowed slightly, and he made a movement to wipe his neck.

When Chen Changsheng heard this, his rather handsome face was also gloomy, every time he traveled to wait for three days at this pass, it was the bottom line he set for himself, if he couldn't wait for any pedestrians passing by here within three days, then he could really only go to the village.

He looked up at the sky that was about to fall into the night, and he was also a little impatient in his heart, after all, it had been raining thunderstorms for the past few days, so he had been hiding in this wet jungle, so Chen Changsheng replied in a low tone after a moment of silence: "It's almost unitary time now, let's wait for the last hour, if no one has appeared at the time, let's go to the village." ”

Hearing the leader say this, the seven people who followed him naturally didn't dare to have any objections, although in their hearts, this Elder Chen himself didn't know any martial arts, nor was he a cultivator, but they had been following him for about two years, and they knew that he was beyond their reach in terms of strategy.

And just after Chen Changsheng said this, at the end of the path where they were condescending and could be seen hundreds of zhang from here, two small figures slowly walked in, which couldn't help but make their eyes that were originally lacking in interest instantly light up.

......

"According to the news from the spies I buried, before us, the three hairy thief leaders of the Danxia Sect personally went to Songyang Town in front of them to guard the fish ten years ago, and prepared to hunt and kill that young man, Brother Gao, what do you think of this?"

The middle-aged man surnamed Gao Mingyuan heard the people around him, and after saying these words, he immediately replied in a disdainful tone: " The three brothers of the Danxia Sect, although it is enough to defeat any martial cultivator who has just entered the sixth-rank realm when they join forces, I heard that the young man, even Wu Shixing's own son was able to fight with him to a draw, even if his cultivation is still in the fifth-grade realm, but it is obvious that his combat power is far beyond ordinary people, I think that the three brothers are very likely to steal chickens and rice in the end, and even they will be broken in the hands of that young man. ”

"No, after all, these three brothers are all people who have licked blood on the knife for most of their lives, no matter how outstanding the combat power of that young man is, he is only in his teens, so in terms of combat experience, how can he compare with those three treacherous and cunning bandit ministers?"

When Gao Yuan heard this, he didn't care, but replied to his companion with a smile: "Brother Cao, you must not underestimate the young people now, as the old saying goes, the blue is better than the blue, that young man is Zhao Bailian's personal disciple, it is impossible not to have a few hands of the hole cards of the box, let me see, even if we are against him, we have to be very careful." ”

When Cao Haiping heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Senior brother, isn't it a little too high to think of that young man, you and I are both real sixth-grade martial artists, and you are only ...... away from the seventh-grade realm."

"Who!"

Before Cao Haiping finished speaking, Gao Yuan, who was walking beside him with a bamboo hat on his head, had already stopped his figure and shouted coldly. Then, I saw him look solemnly at the hillside in front of him, and then said: "Hide and hide gall mice, don't you want me to get out, do you want me to take the initiative to find you out?"

Hearing this provocative sound, the disciples of the Danxia Sect who were ambushed on the low hillside on the side of the road naturally couldn't bear it anymore, so they jumped down from the jungle one after another and stopped in front of Gao Yuan and Cao Haiping.

They were all armed with long knives, wearing bamboo hats, and they were all murderous, obviously accustomed to this kind of roadblock and murder in front of them.

Among them, the sword-wielding man who was standing at the front, who had already entered the realm of the third grade, after appearing, glanced at the empty-handed passers-by not far away, and found that they did not carry any martial arts and cultivators' breath, so he sneered and said: " I don't know how you did it, but of course I don't really care, because I'm only interested in the money you carry, and seeing you both dressed like dogs, you must have hidden a lot of money on yourself, right? ”

After they appeared, Gao Yuan found that the strongest person in the group of people was only a martial artist who had just entered the realm of the third grade, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, but in this barren mountain and wilderness, it was quite interesting to meet such a group of bandits who were blocking the road and robbing them, so he replied with a smile: " This hero has good eyesight, we did bring a lot of silver money with us when we went out this time, but these silver coins are going to Luoyang Town to wholesale silk, so let's do it, I know that if you don't leave some money for the heroes, it will be impossible to pass from here smoothly, why don't I give you twenty taels each, and then you let us go, how about it?"

The man with the knife couldn't help laughing when he heard that the other party was willing to give them twenty taels of money for the passage of one person, but then, the murderous aura on his face became more and more solemn, he raised the long knife in his hand, held it level with his shoulder, and then pointed at Gao Yuan and said: "I'll give you another chance, give me the money and take it out quickly, otherwise when I go over to search your body, you will have to break your arms and legs." ”

Gao Yuan's smile was still the same, and he replied: "Twenty taels is not enough, so how about I add five taels to each of you?"

Seeing that the other party was so ignorant, the man with the knife was already furious in his heart, and immediately no longer bothered to speak, but directly rushed forward with the knife, wanting to leave the lives of the two people in front of him here.

The galloping footsteps continued to step out frantically on the rain-soaked road, and the knife-wielding man held the long knife behind him, but he couldn't help but stir up a splash of muddy water, and when there were only five or six steps left for each other, the knife-wielding man suddenly slashed the long knife behind him towards Gao Yuan's head in front of him.

Razor-edged.

A shower of rain swept away.

Gao Yuan saw that the other party was a fierce killing move, but he couldn't help but show a chuckle on his face, and then saw that his figure did not retreat but advanced, and he actually rushed forward and met the other party, and before the other party raised his knife to split, he punched the other party's chest.

This punch is incomparably pure and simple, without any fancy things, it is completely crushed by the strength of speed, therefore, the knife-wielding man who has only just entered the realm of the third grade has only just entered the realm of the third grade, naturally he didn't even react, and was punched in the chest by him.

"Bang" with a bang!

The man with the knife was stunned, only to feel a sudden shock in his body, and then lost all consciousness.

Seeing that the other party spit out a scarlet color with a lot of internal crumbs from his mouth and quietly died, Gao Yuan was quite satisfied with his punch, and then, he gently pushed the other party's body away, and then ran towards the opposite crowd.

Just ten breaths later.

All the disciples of the Danxia Sect who appeared here to intercept him all fell in a pool of blood, and except for one of the men who had no cultivation in the first place, there was still a breath left, and the others all died, and the death was very tragic.

Gao Yuan condescendingly looked at the mortal who was trying to escape, no longer pretending, and said with a sneer on his face: "I have long heard that in the past few years, the Danxia Sect has not even let go of the passing mortals, and even many villages near the Danxia Mountain have been slaughtered, it seems that it is all a good thing for you to do, don't you know that the Great Zhou Tianzi has a clear rule that the cultivation sect is not allowed to do anything to the mortals of the people?

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Chen Changsheng, who was constantly spilling blood from his mouth and was already seriously injured, was extremely frightened in his heart, but kept begging for mercy and said: "It's the little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and offended his seniors, but he also asked his seniors to spare my life, those things have nothing to do with me, I don't know any martial arts at all." ”

Gao Yuan didn't care whether the other party had the ability to kill people, but asked with interest, "Why should I spare your life?"

After Chen Changsheng heard this, he couldn't find any reason.

Gao Yuan saw that his face was full of despair, but he suddenly thought of something in his heart, so he asked bluntly: "I heard that your sect master is not in the sect during this time?"

Where did Chen Changsheng dare to deceive in any way, when he nodded and replied: "Back to the seniors, our sect master has indeed left the sect for a long time, but where exactly I went, I am just an ordinary elder of the sect, but I have no right to know." ”

After Gao Yuan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then lifted the other party from the ground by the neck, until the latter rolled his eyes and was about to lose his breath, he suddenly let go of the other party's neck, let him kneel on the wet ground and cough constantly, he replied in a cold tone: "Since your sect master is not at home, then you can take us to your thief's den to have a look." ”

Chen Changsheng didn't dare to refuse this, and then took the two of them and staggered in the direction of the Danxia Sect.

......

By the time Gao Yuan and the others were led by Chen Changsheng to the mountain gate of Danxia Sect, the sky was already as dark as ink, because it was already close to Zishi at this time, and in Songyang Town during this time period, the lights of every house had begun to be blown out one after another.

At night, after people began to fall asleep, it seemed that they were about to gradually calm down, but Xu Yan and the others had just finished this hearty and enthusiastic dinner at the moment, and the reason was very simple, that is, Lao Qiao had to pull them to drink some wine.

In the original Heavenly Domain and before leaving the Lotus Sect, Xu Yan had never drunk alcohol, the former was due to nothing, and now there was no chance.

Xu Yan didn't want to drink it originally, but after seeing Gu Xueqing on the side being forced by Lao Qiao to drink a few glasses, he naturally drank a few glasses, and after this drink, he began to be a little unable to stop, because he found that this thing called wine, although it smelled choking and tasted very spicy, but after drinking, the dizziness it brought to him made him feel a little relaxed for no reason, as if all the troubles and cautions, as well as those from the exhaustion and melancholy of the soul, could dissipate in his mind with the taste of wine。

Lao Qiao saw that Xu Yan in front of him was already a little shaky, so he smiled and said to Qiao Mu: "Son, since you have almost drunk, then you can take the little brother of the Xu family and Gu Xiaonizi to rest downstairs, just let your father clean up here, and remember to rest early after you arrange for them to stay." ”

Qiao Mu actually drank a lot of wine at night, and his mind was even more dizzy at the moment, so he nodded and agreed, and took Xu Yan and the others up the stairs to the second-floor guest room.

When Lao Qiao saw them leaving, he was not drunk at all, smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: "I didn't expect to want to get drunk with this group of boys, and I really almost got myself in, hey, I really don't accept the old man." ”

As he spoke, Old Joe had already begun to clean up the scraps left on the table, and in just a quarter of an hour, he had washed all the utensils, dishes and chopsticks, which showed that after his wife died of illness, he was quite familiar with these housework.

Then, before closing his teahouse, Old Joe walked out the door with the garbage left behind after the meal, which he had developed decades ago, never leaving the garbage in the house overnight, otherwise it would inevitably produce some unpleasant smell at night.

However, just as Old Joe had just put the garbage in his hand where it should be, and before he could turn around and return to the original road, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, and it was rushing towards him.
