Chapter 282 Meeting in a narrow road

into the night.

The light dripping rain fell on the tiles, and the room was extraordinarily quiet.

Ye Jingtang sat cross-legged on the bench, practicing the jade-bone dragon elephant bathing in fire, with a long breath and a calm expression. After practicing this profound method for a long time, his aura already has a sense of refinement, but the changes are very subtle It's hard to tell if it's not the people around you who accompany you day and night.

On the bed not far away, Fan Qinghe was wearing a red gauze dress and sitting cross-legged, maintaining the same posture, also practicing the dragon call.

Fan Qinghe really doesn't know how to understand the map of the gods, and his amazing perception is purely due to hard work and talent, but this time he went to the capital, it was a big luck.

As a specially hired doctor, she wanted to treat the Empress Dowager, so she had the cheek to ask Master Xuanji for a picture of the dragon and elephant, and Master Xuanji showed it to her, and then she got it for nothing.

Originally, she wanted to see the picture of bathing in fire, but this thing Xuanji is not so generous. She only rewarded the queen mother after she was cured. Which pushes.

After arriving at Gukou Town at noon and having dinner, Ye Jingtang threw Niao Niao out to patrol the mountains, and the two waited in the room for a rest. Because the waiting time was a bit long, they each sat here to practice, and it was night before they knew it. .

Gukou Town is small in scale, and there are smugglers and ruthless people coming and going. The flow of people is not large, and naturally there is nothing to do at night. When it gets dark, the lights are turned off, and then there are some messy sounds in the town. :
"Hmm~ woo..."

……

The voice was very small, and the voice coming from the back of the inn should be the young man and the widowed proprietress of the inn.

Normal people can't hear this distance, but both Ye Jingtang and Fan Qinghe are masters of amazing perception. Not only can they hear the words clearly, Ye Jingtang can even hear the posture...

"..."

The house grew quieter.

Fan Qinghe's red lips moved slightly, slightly opened his left eye, and glanced at Ye Jingtang—sit still like a mountain, without being disturbed by external factors at all, this meditation skill is simply amazing...

Fan Qinghe felt that he was a bit off track, so he brushed away distracting thoughts and wanted to continue meditating, but he didn't expect the sound in the distance to get worse:
"It's useless... By the way, is there any sound in the front?"

"what sound?"

"Didn't there be a couple staying at the hotel this afternoon? The woman looks very pretty, and the man is also handsome. It's so quiet at night, maybe it's the tip of a silver wax gun..."

?

The corners of Ye Jingtang's eyes twitched, thinking that the proprietress had never been beaten.

And Fan Qinghe obviously also heard these words, and glanced at Ye Jingtang again, maybe because he was afraid that Ye Jingtang would be annoyed by this, he spoke to persuade:
"Country women talk nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't take it to heart."

Seriously?

Ye Jingtang opened his eyes, looked at the warm-hearted Queen Brahma, and wanted to respond, but how could he respond to a topic that would kill the sky right from the start?

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the two of them to be embarrassed, and there was a sound outside. The big bird passed through the rain curtain, landed on the window sill, and began to kick the window with its claws:
Da Da Da~
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang got up and went to the window, opened the window to let the bird in, wiped it with a towel, and asked:

"how?"

"jijiji..."

Niao Niao Guji Guji gestured a few times, indicating that he had found a few villages hidden among the mountains.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang did not delay, turned around and picked up his weapon:
"Let's go, go to the mountains and have a look. If you find it early, you can go back sooner. The Empress Dowager should be almost at Langxuan City."

Seeing this, Fan Qinghe got up, hung the belt around his waist, and followed out of the inn...
-
On the other side, outside Huanglao Pass.

The rain is getting weaker, but the moonlight is covered by dark clouds, the wilderness is invisible, and a bunch of bonfires become the only bright spot on the extremely dark land.

The lonely carriage leaned against the bonfire, and a small awning was stretched out on the side of the carriage.

Luo Ning leaned against the window of the carriage, staring at the far southeast, with her hands in her sleeves, gently rubbing a jade pendant; the jade pendant is a Longtan tourmaline, a family heirloom of Shuiyun Jiantan, and it was also obtained together with the thief when they first met The things they have are regarded as tokens of love for each other.

Xue Baijin stood outside the carriage, wearing two hares with wooden sticks in his hands, and smoked them on the bonfire. It might be a little stuffy, and he said:

"Ning'er, why don't you speak?"

Luo Ning's eyes moved slightly, and she came back to her senses:
"say what?"

"In the past, you would pester me to teach Kung Fu whenever you had time, and then you would study hard and practice hard, even more diligent than me. Why are you so stupefied now?"

Luo Ning traveled with Xue Baijin before, and she really studied hard all day long, thinking that one day she would become a peerless heroine and kill enemies with her own skills.

But being hit by Bai Jin's talent first, and then being ravaged by Ye Jingtang's talent, she doesn't have the drive she had when she was young, and now her mind is full of revenge by relying on her husband's curve...

Seeing Xue Baijin's question, Luo Ning got out of the carriage, pulled out the Weeping Water Sword from her waist, and gestured slowly beside the campfire:

"Just thinking about something."

"whats the matter?"

"Hmm...Bai Jin, you are not young anymore. Walking the rivers and lakes as a man is not a long-term solution after all. Have you never considered your own private affairs?"

In fact, Xue Baijin often listened to the seniors of Pingtian Sect say these things, and said to this:

"You mean marriage? Do you want a man?"

"..."

Luo Ning looked as usual and said: "I didn't pretend to be a man. As the most beautiful woman in the world, I don't worry about getting married. I'm worried about you. You can't live without getting married, right? If you meet a man who catches your eye, But you can't express your feelings because of your status..."

Xue Baijin turned the roasted rabbit over and said casually:
"If you really meet a man who catches your eye, you can snatch him back to Nanxiao Mountain and let him become a master incognito. I, Xue Baijin, have a crush on the man, no matter male or female, no one dares not to follow. What do you want to show?"

?

Luo Ning paused, and said displeasedly: "I am the wife of the religious leader, you steal a man and come back secretly as a husband, what should I do?"

Xue Baijin said very proudly: "No one can replace our friendship for so many years. At that time, you will still be the wife of the leader, just treat him as a concubine..."

Side room? ?
What Luo Ning meant was—you have a man, will I be a widow?I also want to raise one secretly, not to be jealous with you.

But before she could formulate words to express her inner thoughts, she found that the bonfire in front of her was swaying slightly without wind.

Looking around from the corner of the eye, I realized that it was Xue Baijin who raised his palm slightly, inadvertently revealing the vast energy hidden in his body.

Luo Ning stopped, looked around at the night, and asked:

"Anything?"

Xue Baijin looked at the bonfire in front of him, but his mind was focused on the thousands of mountains and wind and rain outside. After a long time of stagnation, he handed the roasted rabbit to Luo Ning, turned around and took out the weapon from the carriage:

"There are a few big dragons in the mountains, let's go and see the excitement."

"big dragon?"

"I knew it in the past..."

……
-
woohoo~~
The howling mountain wind rolled up the withered yellow grass leaves on the ridge, and as the rain gradually subsided, the moonlight also began to brighten and darken, and the scene between the mountains could be seen clearly.

Ye Jingtang led the horse, stood above the bare ridge, held a telescope in his right hand, and looked at a bright spot among the basins in the distance.Fan Qinghe held a luminous pearl as a lamp, looking at the topographic map in his hand:

"There is no mark on the map at all, and I have never heard of anyone living here. The basin is at least three miles around, and there are seven or eight families in it. No one should know..."

……

The two of them set off from Gukou Town at night, and followed Niao Niao to search among the mountains. They have touched three places, but they were all hunters living in the mountains, or hermits who came here to live in seclusion. The situation and the target of the pursuit were different. match.

The small village in the front basin is different. There are seven or eight households, at least two or no. The place where the pharmacist hides.

"Go and have a look."

Ye Jingtang took a telescope to observe for a while, and found that there was still fire inside the basin, and there should be people moving around, so he left the horse where it was, and walked down the hillside with Fan Qinghe to touch the basin.

Fan Qinghe's light kung fu skills are very good. When he completely restrained his breath, if he walked in front of Ye Jingtang without looking back, it would be difficult to notice that there was someone beside him. As he walked forward, he carefully observed the situation in the basin, and said softly:
"Knowing how to refine prison dragon miasma, he must be a poison master with extremely high morals. It is impossible not to prepare for the hiding place. Beware of traps, follow me."

Ye Jingtang didn't know much about the mechanism's strange poison, so he slowed down and followed Fan Qinghe's ass...
-
At the same time, on a mountain peak far away.

Cao Aning and others followed Du Tanqing to Huangming Mountain in the morning. At this time, they were lying neatly in the dark, covered with dead grass for camouflage, and staring at the basin seven or eight miles away.

Cao Aning waited for a whole day without any signs of trouble, and asked:

"Who is living in seclusion in that village?"

Du Tanqing's eyes were like a falcon, and he used a telescope to observe the wind and grass around the basin, and responded:
"Jiang Zhahu, No. 1 in the Southern Dynasties boxing and kicking. As long as the people of the Qinchi tribe dare to come, they will definitely come and go..."

"Jiang Zahu?"

When Xu Tianying heard the name, his eyes were obviously surprised:
"He's hiding here? How did you find out?"

"This is the business road of the Hongshan Gang. Dozens of people need food and clothing. After so many years, how can it be watertight? It's just that no one knows Jiang Zhahu's background. If he is allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles. Dare to act recklessly. This time driving tigers and swallowing wolves happens to be able to see the depth of Jiang Zhahu...Huh?"

While Du Tanqing was speaking, his breath was slightly concentrated, and he looked carefully at the basin between the mountains.

And the surrounding people also lowered their voices and frowned at the same time, but they didn't think about it, and found that there was a sudden storm in the basin...
-
Shashasha~~
The cool night breeze brought rippling waves between the huge basins, and the sound of grass blades rubbing against each other covered all the sounds of the two walking through.

Ye Jingtang and Fan Qinghe crawled in the waist-deep weeds and moved towards the center of the basin, suppressing all sounds.

But no matter how well it is hidden, there will always be movement in the dead wilderness, and ordinary people really can't find it, but the people living in the village are not ordinary people.

"grumble--"

Ye Jingtang was concentrating on walking forward, when suddenly he heard the urgent cry of an eagle above the sky.

At almost the same moment, a message came from the direction of the village:

sassy-

The blades of grass swayed violently, like a liger waiting for its prey to approach suddenly, galloping from the grass, and instantly pulled out a long straight groove on the grass a hundred meters away.

Ye Jingtang raised his body slightly to see this scene, the long trough was already ten feet away, covered by weeds, he couldn't see what it was, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

Bang!
In the next instant, all the dense blades of grass in front of the two of them were shattered by the force of energy, turning into fragments and surging into the air, revealing the long groove that was rushed out in front of them.

Fan Qinghe was attacked every day by real person Xuanji who didn't talk about martial arts, and it had to be said that he had been trained. The moment he realized something was wrong, he flew up and flew to the side, and Ye Jingtang, who was so fast, might not be able to catch up.

And Ye Jingtang is known for its combat prowess, and the first reaction when encountering a surprise attack is definitely not to run. The moment he realized something was wrong, he had already grasped the handle of the knife with his left hand, and stared forward with his eyes, only to see a man flying towards him from ten feet away.

The man was dressed in a green robe, with fair skin and flawless skin. The robe was rather tall without any accessories, and his long hair was not even tied up. He looked like a Confucian scholar who had just gotten out of bed.

But the elegant appearance and casual attire did not affect the terrifying aura emanating from the man.

At this time, the man flew forward, holding the tiger claws with both hands one after the other, and his five fingers even pulled out a few trails visible to the naked eye among the flying grass leaves, like steel claws that could break gold and crack rocks, so fast that ordinary people couldn't see clearly. Not to mention reaction block.

choke-

The long knife was out of its sheath, bringing a gleam of cold light under the dark moonlight.

Ye Jingtang sensed the exaggeration of the opponent's martial arts, so he didn't hold anything back, and instead of retreating, he went forward and hit the man's waist and abdomen directly.

And the man who flew over obviously realized that Ye Jingtang was not some thief who came over to steal in the middle of the night, his momentum suddenly changed like a tiger descending a mountain, his right hand turned into a claw in the air, and his figure disappeared instantly.

Before the edge of the blade approached, the man clamped the Chilong Saber with his two fingers, and then took advantage of the trend to move down, his figure circling in the air.

bang——

Ye Jingtang slashed forward with a knife like thunder, but without any effort, the man who was flying sideways, used his strength to somersault on the blade, and when he bypassed the blade, he whipped his legs and fell from above. Pulling directly to the top of Ye Jingtang's head, the force was so great that there was a muffled thunder out of thin air.

! !
Ye Jingtang has fought quite a few peak Wukui since his career in the rivers and lakes, but this is the first time he has met someone with such exaggerated boxing skills.

The opponent was on the top of his head and was still holding the blade, and before he could even make a forward cut, Ye Jingtang immediately raised his right arm.

boom -

The powerful whip kicked directly on the raised right arm, and there was another explosion from the flying grass leaves, and the three-foot-long grass around the two of them was immediately flattened by the tyrannical force.

The leather wristband and even the sleeve robe on Ye Jingtang's right arm exploded at the moment when the vast energy penetrated his body. Unload the force and stop the figure.

shhhhh--

Fan Qinghe flew out, not ignoring his teammates and ran away. After opening the distance, he turned around in the air, threw more than ten black needles from his sleeve, and hit the man who suddenly rose up.

But after the man repelled Ye Jingtang with a flying kick, he didn't turn his head to look at Fan Qinghe, he just swung his left hand around, wrapped up all the flying needles with his sleeve, and then flicked them to the side, more than ten flying needles came back at an astonishing speed Turn back.

Sa——

Seeing this scene, Fan Qinghe was terrified, and immediately fell back on the ground to avoid the flying needles, then stomped on both feet, slid out of the grass, and pulled his body into the distance.

wow~

The turmoil that broke out suddenly stopped abruptly after a moment of fighting.

Ye Jingtang stood on the spot holding a knife, his eyes were sharp, his heart was beating like a drum, his sleeve robe was shattered, exposing his muscular right arm, the outer side of his forearm was black and blue, but his bones were extremely tough, and he didn't suffer too much damage. Influence.

Suddenly meeting such a terrifying opponent, Ye Jingtang naturally felt lingering fear. After the opponent stopped, he shook his numb right hand slightly, stood up straight and pointed the long knife obliquely at the ground, and said:

"Are you Jiang Zahu?"

Jiang Zhahu stood between the empty basins, his long hair moved with the wind behind his right hand, his face was calm and his eyes were full of light, with the coercion of a dragon and tiger, but not the tyranny of a ferocious beast. He looked at Ye Jingtang calmly, and said:

"You are Nightmare?"

After two sentences, the basin fell into dead silence again.

After all, after confirming each other's identities, there is nothing to say.

Ye Jingtang's secondary mission on this trip is to find Jiang Zhahu to get the Golden Scale Picture, and meeting here can only be said to be a blind cat and a dead mouse, and it's luck.

And Jiang Zhahu, as the head of the Hongshan Gang, is a gangster who is wanted by the government. He was found at home by the head of the black yamen.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and the whole world became quiet at this moment...
