Chapter 128 126. Going south to open up wasteland
the twelfth lunar month,
little snow,
In Baihua Manor, the maids are making dumplings.
The water vapor on the steaming pot is mixed with daily warmth;
A mouthful of dumplings with soup is also full of human fireworks.
Although Xiaopingan didn't understand what "Innate Shadow Blood" was, he understood that it was a powerful talent.
He asked every day: "Where is my sister, when will my sister come back?"
Li Yuan didn't bring Tang Nian and Xiao Jin back immediately, because he was afraid that the deputy palace master would kill him.
He manipulated the gray Ninth-Rank Demon Sparrow hidden in the misty reeds of the Changmian River, carefully watching the sailing boat going away, but a cold light flew from a distance and directly shot his Ninth-Rank Demon Sparrow.
The two black birds on the outer layer witnessed the tragedy, and found that it was a chopstick that shot the Ninth-Rank Demon Bird.
Obviously, the chopsticks were shot by that aunt.
The chopsticks should be the ones that the boatman eats on the boat
This really shocked Li Yuan.
However, the boat continued to go away and did not return.
The auntie just removed the lower eyeliner.
She has reached an extremely sensitive level of "being watched around the body", which also taught Li Yuan a lesson, a reminder:
Perhaps, perception cannot be easily let go, especially where there are more masters.
Ordinary people mainly rely on their eyesight. When someone is stared at by others, he will naturally feel that he is being stared at.
But high-grade fighters no longer rely entirely on their eyesight, their perception has reached an unbelievable level.
As a sixth rank, Li Yuan can already see the scenes beyond the small number in detail, so if others look at him from the small number, he can also perceive it.
It’s okay in the busy city, because there are so many people, the problem is not too big;
But at this wilderness ferry, this perception is very clear
Li Yuan didn't dare to let the birds look at the direction the boat was going away, and only let them fly around.
At the same time, he quickly added a Ninth Grade Demon Sparrow as his eyeliner.
It's just that the "color-changing demon bird" is quite rare, and this supplementary ninth-grade demon bird is much more common.
two days later.
After confirming that Gu Xuejian had completely left, Li Yuancai went to the black market Huangquan and brought his two daughters back.
To Li Yuan's surprise, the two daughters, who were withdrawn to varying degrees, unexpectedly looked at each other right.
If there is no time to get along with each other independently, even if the two girls live in the same big courtyard, they still have their own way of playing.
But in the black market Ghost Field, something happened, the relationship between the two girls became very good, they got together, whispering, mysteriously, and I don't know what they were talking about.
As soon as they returned to Baihua Manor, the two girls ran to Tang Nian's big house.
One tall and one short, a girl and a girl, and behind him was a big man with an expressionless face, "Tang Qiu".
"Tang Qiu" was carrying a heavy iron box that was bigger than others. There was a "bang dong dong dong" sound in the box, obviously a lot of puppet equipment was put in it.
Then they entered the big house.
Before closing the door, a hand was stretched out, and a signboard saying "Do not disturb after retreating" was hung.
Immediately, the door was closed and locked.
When Xiaopingan heard that her sister was back, she was very happy. With her hands behind her back and her wooden knife on her back, Xiaoping came to look for her sister.
Xiao Ju followed closely behind, shouting: "My lord, my lord, don't run so fast."
Xiaopingan didn't listen.
Xiaoju shouted again: "Master, why are you running so fast?"
But after changing the sentence pattern, Xiao Pingan stopped. He liked to confuse others, so he said, "Some things, it's time for my sister to know."
Xiaoju froze for a moment, wanted to laugh, but tried hard to hold back.
She has not been with the young master for a day or two, so she naturally knows the young master's temper, so imitating his sentence pattern: "Missy will be very happy."
Xiaoping continued to run with his hands behind his back, he had to let his sister know.
He, Li Pingan, has a terrible "innate shadow blood".
But when Xiaoping came to the big house, he saw the wooden sign hanging on the door.
He was literate early, and he recognized the four characters "Do not disturb after retreat" written on the wooden sign.
Xiaopingan felt very uncomfortable, he thought about it and went to knock on the door.
However, the two women in the room might have been too focused to hear his knock on the door at all.
And Xiaoju didn't dare to call
Ever since, Xiaoping came here in good spirits and returned in defeat,
Tried to be silly, but failed.
The little child felt great malice.
Then, Xiaopingan began to look forward to her sister coming out for dinner.
But the meals were actually brought in by outsiders.
Little Ping'an had no choice but to come over to have a look after practicing swords every day.
There should be no secrets between relatives.
He must let the woman who once laughed at him as a crying bag know,
He, Li Pingan, the number one swordsman in the world, possesses "innate shadow blood".
On this day, after he finished practicing "the nameless sword technique with a scary name but no lethality", he ran to the big room again and looked at the door expectantly.
He thought the door opened and his sister came out.
Today, something is different.
After a short while, weird and mixed sounds came from the big room.
The sound was like the friction of a blunt knife cutting flesh, like the twisting of steel that made teeth ache, like a heavy object being lifted up and down repeatedly.
Different sounds, mixed together.
Suddenly, the big house began to tremble, and the tiles on the roof began to vibrate.
Xiao Ping'an was stunned, with a frightened look on his face, and his mouth slowly opened wide.
The vibration in the big room became bigger and bigger, and Xiao Ping'an's mouth opened wider and wider.
next moment.
boom! ! ! !
The house in front of him exploded.
Xiaopingan was blown by the air wave and flew backwards.
The maid Xiaoju behind him hurriedly hugged him, then turned around and fell to the ground.
The big house was blown into ruins, and in the billowing smoke and dust, the expressionless puppet Tang Qiu stretched out six arms, one of which was holding two large shields, and was blocking left and right, blocking the flying metal in the violent airflow , protecting the maiden and girl in the middle
Outside the house, the "Innate Shadow Blood Powerhouse" who was protected by Xiaoju shrunk his mouth, his lips trembled, and then burst into tears.
"Hand out."
"Stand out!"
"Father, take it easy."
"Don't smile. If you don't let you know the pain, there will be no lesson!"
Li Yuan looked serious, looking at the two culprits who blew up the house and blew Xiaopingan away.
He grabbed Xiao Jin's hand first, raised the ruler, hit him lightly twice, and said, "I hurt myself, what should I do?"
Then he looked at Tang Nian again.
The white clothes changed to gray clothes, and the dirty Tang Nian also stretched out his hand.
Li Yuan raised the ruler high and wanted to hit it hard, but when he reached the landing point, he hit it twice lightly, and said: "Your sister is not sensible, you have to understand. When it comes to puppetry, you are also a master. Why do you still use it?" House blown up?
Fortunately, your brother was not hurt this time. If he was, what should we do? "
Tang Nian lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, adoptive father."
Li Yuandao: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Tang Nian told the story in detail.
In the past few months, she and Xiaojin have been in the black market, Huangquan, and slowly got together to play together.
She plays with puppets.
Xiao Jin played with crows.
They chatted, talked, and told each other how they played with this thing.
The puppets below the sixth rank are made of metal, the hearts of monsters, and the veins of the masses carved out by the puppet master's special flame knife.
Although the requirement of this "mass context" is precise, it is not complicated. There are ready-made ones on the market, and Tang Nian can do it himself.
The sixth-grade puppets replaced the metal with soul iron crystals.
And the context that needs to be engraved becomes extremely complicated, and there are too many things that need to be paid attention to. This kind of craftsmanship is also very rare in the sixth rank, but it is also very popular.
To put it bluntly, a puppet is an application of the "yin-yang combination".
Soul iron crystal belongs to yin, heart belongs to yang.
Soul iron crystals are collected from some ghost domains, and there are chaotic and unspeakable "souls" hidden in them. At least this is recorded in the ancient books of the puppet masters of the Tang family. Whether it is true or not, it is at least helpful for understanding.
After this soul iron crystal was nourished by the blood in the heart of the sixth rank, the yin and yang combined, thus giving birth to flesh and blood, and became somewhat "intelligent", unlike the puppets below the sixth rank who were so stupid and set up the past. Go wherever you go, even if there is a cliff in front of you, don't look back.
But at the same time, puppets below the sixth rank suffer because they have no soul.
When Tang Nian talked about this, Xiao Jin said that there might be a soul in her crow, and recently her mother taught her how to use the crow to possess a body.
When talking about this, Li Yuan interrupted.
Yan Niangzi taught Xiao Jin skills, he knew it.
but.
"What is a crow possessed?" he asked.
Xiao Jin said angrily: "Yaoyao can occupy the body of other people or small animals, but only for a while.
Niang said, if it goes on for a long time, either the person who is occupied will be injured, or the crow will be injured. "
Li Yuan was speechless.
Isn't this "ghost upper body"?
People with sufficient yang energy can drive away ghosts;
Those with insufficient yang energy will get seriously ill after being possessed by ghosts for a long time.
"Don't use it on people indiscriminately in the future." He stroked his daughter's hair.
Xiao Jin said cutely: "Daddy, I won't harm anyone."
Li Yuan smiled gently to show encouragement.
He wanted to add "If it's a bad person, it's okay", but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
The power of my own daughter cannot be revealed in front of outsiders, otherwise there will be a catastrophe, so it is better to temporarily contain it from the source, and wait until the daughter has a normal view of good and evil and has strong power.
"Niannian, keep talking.
Then, are you going to create new toys like crow possession and puppetry? "
Tang Nian said calmly, "Yes, foster father."
Li Yuandao: "Then you failed."
Xiao Jin said: "Father, it's not a failure, it's just that those puppets are crazy."
"Crazy?" Li Yuan became curious.
Xiao Jin said: "They."
She tried to express, but unfortunately her vocabulary was poor and she couldn't speak.
Tang Nian said: "Father, let's try again, you will know."
Li Yuan nodded.
Then, the three came to the courtyard.
Tang Nian grabbed a puppet rabbit and came out, Xiao Jin flung a crow out of his hair, the crow bumped into the puppet rabbit, and completely fell into it.
Then the puppet rabbit suddenly started to turn its head and legs as if it had a cramp.
A short while later, amidst the harsh sound of steel twisting, the head of the puppet rabbit was twisted off, and its legs were also broken.
The tail seemed to be torn by two forces, turning like a propeller, clockwise for a while, counterclockwise for a while, and then exploded.
Blood spurted out from the severed head, severed leg, and severed tail.
The rabbit struggled a few steps forward, and fell to the ground completely.
The crow flew out from the rabbit's head, and then fell back into Xiaojin's hair.
Tang Nian looked at Li Yuan helplessly, and said, "Father, that's it."
Li Yuandao: "Open the puppet and look at the heart."
Tang Nian said: "It's been opened earlier, my heart is already rotten."
Li Yuan stepped forward, tearing away the metal body of the puppet rabbit like pulling noodles.
Sure enough, among the puppets, the heart of the monster installed inside was shriveled, as if someone had stepped on it severely.
Tang Nian said: "The only explanation is that the hearts of these monsters are not completely flesh and blood, among them"
She paused for a while, her eyes showed some complicated and warm colors, then she raised her head and said: "Perhaps there is a remnant soul from her previous life.
Therefore, it is repelling foreign souls.
When the foreign soul enters, the foreign soul is powerful, but the remnant soul in the heart has the advantage of the heart.
The instinctive struggle between the two sides can only end in this way.
As for the 'soul' in the soul iron crystal, it may be a kind of soul without self-awareness.
Putting the heart into it didn't produce a new soul, but was warmed up to grow and regenerate blood and flesh. "
Li Yuan looked at his adoptive daughter.
He didn't say anything, just nodded.
This is not so much Tang Nian's speculation as it is her wish.
If this wish is true, then at least her father still has a remnant soul.
Tang Nian fell silent.
Li Yuan turned his head slightly, saw Xiao Jin who was blinking next to him, and couldn't help but hug her into his arms and put her on his lap.
Xiao Jin was a little unhappy and said: "Yaoyao, it failed."
Li Yuan rubbed her hair and said: "No failure, if in the future the enemy uses puppets to beat parents, you release your crows."
Xiao Jin smiled: "Then, the bad puppets will all go crazy."
"Yes." Li Yuan smiled, "Yaoya, there is no failure."
This unexpected discovery surprised him a little.
He remembered that the puppet can explore the ghost domain, because the puppet will not be attacked by ghost servants.
But if Xiaojin manipulates the crow into the puppet's body, it can drive the puppet crazy.
This method is not unique, it is also extremely rare.
After coaxing one daughter, Li Yuan looked at the other daughter.
The girl in white with short hair lost her mind after talking about the "remnant soul", and her eyes that were already frozen were a little dull.
"Every year."
"."
"Every year!"
"Yeyifu!" Tang Nian jumped out of his own world as if waking up from a dream.
Li Yuandao: "Clean up, after two days, foster father will take you out."
"Okay, adoptive father." Tang Nian didn't ask where he was going, but answered.
Afterwards, Li Yuan found Xiaopingan again, and when he found that his son had only a little skin trauma, he comforted him softly, and then instilled the concept of "run away if things are not going well".
From Li Yuan's point of view, his son should have run away after seeing the abnormality in the house. Why did he still stand there in a daze?
If you ran early, wouldn't you be affected?
In the end, Xiaopingan refused to accept it, and said things like "Oh, I'm still too weak", "I ran away today, then I won't be able to stand there anymore".
Li Yuanqi grabbed the ruler and asked his son, "Will you run away next time you encounter an abnormality?"
Xiao Ping'an was as stubborn as a donkey, and said, "I won't run if you run."
Li Yuan stepped forward, and slapped Xiao Pingan twice with a little force, making a red mark on his palm.
Xiaopingan cried again.
Li Yuan went out to investigate, only to find that the childhood stories his son listened to were all "Legends of the Knights" and the like, and he asked Xiaoju to bring those "Legends of the Knights" to read carefully
Turning it over and over, I saw two characters between the lines: Zhong Er.
Li Yuan carefully recalled the books he read before crossing. As a father, he wanted to correct his son's wrong personality.
He thought for a long time, and decided to take time to tell his son "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals". Although he didn't remember much, he could still say a few words.
Housework, just a small episode.
After dealing with it, Li Yuan began to consider the question of "whether the south is suitable as a back road".
He was a little apprehensive, but he had to try.
And the breakthrough of this back road is the "monster hunter".
He didn't decide to go south, but he wanted to see every choice as clearly as possible before making a decision, so as not to regret it.
After nightfall, he shared the bed with the proprietress.
The proprietress was a little distressed that her son was beaten.
Li Yuan explained to her carefully, and the proprietress showed a worried look, after all, she didn't want her son to be so "brave".
Afterwards, the two got down to business.
"The relocation is almost over, many people have already gone to Mianzhou Road with Mr. Yan, Zhou Jia said to go, so I let him go too.
Recently, I’ve been exhausted, I’ve been busy everywhere.”
The proprietress complained softly to Xianggong.
Li Yuan gently rubbed her shoulders from behind.
The proprietress said: "The demon hunters still refuse to take us to their base. They evade that they have no fixed place to live, but I think they are lying."
“How come you see?”
"They provide an ordering service, that is, what type of monster you want, they can try to find it, but after a while, they will send a matching monster.
This shows that they have warehouses.
Since there is a warehouse, there must be a base. "
Li Yuan thought for a moment, and said, "Who is the highest status among them?"
The proprietress rolled her eyes and said: "They are all doing practical things, and the ones who really make decisions have never been here."
Li Yuan thought for a while, nodded, and said: "I see."
That night,
After falling into the dream, Li Yuan appeared in the grocery store deep in the ghost street, and took new [human skin handcuffs] from Yan Niangzi.
The next day,
He opened the way with money and asked the proprietress to rush to buy monsters with an amount that "exceeded the monster hunter's stock of monsters on the black market".
At the same time, he gathered a lot of common birds, went to Rongguangfang, the southernmost place in Shanbao County, and began to follow them.
The steward below the proprietress went to the black market to buy all the monsters, and then kept urging them, saying "not enough, not enough", "immediately, urgently needed".
Because it was not the first time that the two parties had dealt with each other, the demon hunter had no doubt about him, so he hurried to the south.
This is a Ninth Grade demon hunter, his ability is not enough to spot the birds in the sky.
The Ninth-Rank Monster Hunter rode on his horse, while Li Yuan called Tang Nian, and then the imperial chariot followed him in a distance.
A day later, the demon hunter came to a gathering place in the wilderness. After he entered in a hurry, when he came out soon, he pulled an ox cart.
In the iron cage on the bullock cart, there are drugged and sleepy monsters.
In the gathering place, an eighth-rank demon hunter came out, and together with the ninth-rank demon hunter, they headed towards Shanbao County.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry, but let the birds follow the gathering place.
in the carriage,
Father and daughter, plus a sixth-grade puppet sat quietly.
The sky is from dusk to dawn, and the shadows of the mountains move with the light.
The long grass in the wilderness outside the car has not yet grown, showing a dry scene, which is abnormally deserted.
A small carriage is like a bean between the mountains and the wilderness.
The girl in white with short hair is drinking wine. She is already eighteen years old, a big girl, and her adoptive father can't force her to stop drinking.
"Aren't you asking me why I brought you out?" Li Yuan asked.
Tang Nian rested his chin, smiled drunkly and said, "Father, your thoughts are written on your face."
She had recognized Li Yuan as her adoptive father for nearly ten years, and she naturally began to speak casually, instead of calling her "adopted father" rigidly.
"Is it so obvious?" Li Yuan smiled.
Tang Nian raised his head and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lonely?"
"Even if it's not for being lonely, you should come out for a walk." Li Yuan said.
Tang Nian's eyes drooped slightly and he said, "Recently, the county feels that something big is going to happen. Dad, a lot of people have left in your restaurant."
Li Yuan didn't hide from her, and directly told the invitation of the Shenmu Temple and the threat of the red lotus thief.
When Tang Nian heard "Mianzhou Road", he was a little dazed.
Li Yuanqi asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Nian was silent for a while, and did not choose to hide it, but said: "Mianzhou Road is Niannian's hometown."
Li Yuan looked at the puppet and scolded with a smile: "Good old Tang, you lied to me even if you died."
Then he looked at the adoptive daughter and explained: "Old Tang lied to me that the Tang family is in a small county by the sea, and there are mountains on the other side of Mianzhou, where does the sea come from?"
Tang Qing said: "Father, Old Tang didn't lie to you, he just... thought I didn't know.
He didn't want me to come home again.
Also, Old Tang is actually not called Tang Qiu, but Tang Xuan. "
The father and daughter were silent for a while.
The car was quiet for a while.
Li Yuan changed the subject and said: "Bringing you out this time is different from before, mainly to take you to participate in actual combat.
You have grown up, and you will inevitably encounter fights in the future."
After all, he explained the purpose of his trip.
To put it simply, this is an exploration and land reclamation, an exploration of "whether the south is suitable for relocation".
The first step is to find the guide, but the guide will not be as obedient as the guide, they have their own plans and plots, they will also hide, and even have malicious intentions.
"So, every year, we should discuss it with the people in the settlement in front and make them obedient?" Tang Nian asked.
Li Yuandao: "There are a lot of monsters hidden in that settlement. If they kill all the monsters and release all the monsters, then maybe they won't cause us any trouble, but they may flee to the surrounding counties."
"let me see"
Tang Nian held his chin, then his eyes lit up and said, "Poison."
Li Yuandao: "Are you poisonous?"
Tang Nian's cheeks were flushed, he held his head proudly and said, "I have learned it well in Orange Blossom Hall, and I have brought a lot of toxins with me."
As she said that, with a thought in her mind, Tang Qiu, the puppet over there, opened the big iron box that she carried with her, and then took out row after row of bottles and jars. The jars were colorful, obviously full of various toxins.
"Father, when shall I leave?" Tang Nian yawned.
Li Yuan suddenly said: "A sixth-rank puppet is slightly weaker than your puppet, three seventh-rank, six eighth-rank, and several ninth-rank puppet, none of them are ordinary people.
In addition, there are scattered monsters, but there are no sixth-rank, but seventh-rank, eight-rank, and ninth-rank.
Weapons are mainly bows and arrows, as well as hunting knives.
Their drinking water is obtained from a stream in the southwest of the settlement. The stream is not far from the settlement. If there is any movement, the settlement will hear it.
The most important point is that the perception of the sixth grade is very keen.
Moreover, this may not be the headquarters of the demon hunters, maybe they have other settlements that will come to support them. "
Tang Nian closed his eyes and thought for a while, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, Dad, I'm going."
Li Yuan nodded.
Tang Nian jumped off the carriage, and the puppet Tang Qiu followed closely behind, carrying a big iron box on his back.
Tang Nian walked for a while and looked back, but she didn't see Li Yuan coming. She scratched her hair, took a deep breath, and squeezed her small fists to cheer herself up.
Her thinking is very simple, with outnumbered enemies, if she can't kill the opponent, if she has a chance to open the cage of the monster, then she can only poison her.
The only place where the poison is poisoned is the drinking water.
As a "toxin lover", she naturally stored colorless and odorless poisons.
"The poison is lower than the seventh rank, and then let Old Tang fight against the opponent's sixth rank."
"It should be noted that when poisoning, it cannot be discovered."
"The toxin is mainly poisonous, and it cannot be fatal, otherwise Dad's exploration plan will be ruined."
"As for making puppets on the spot, although I can do it, it's better not to make extra troubles. The more complicated the plan, the easier it is for accidents to be quietly poisoned, and then one-on-one with the opponent's sixth grade."
Tang Nian decided to wait until night before making a move.
Maybe it's a beautiful day, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight.
Tang Nian asked the puppet Tang Qiu to put down the iron box, carrying only the toxin, and then went to the distant settlement like a ghost.
She is at the beginning of the seventh rank, and the puppet Tang Qiu is a puppet who can perform stably.
It is not difficult for this pair to get into the camp.
The puppet Tang Qiu used his left arm as a saddle, allowing his master to sit in it, then moved carefully in the camp, and then successfully avoided the low-grade warriors who were patrolling the night, and came to a large water tank.
There are two water tanks in the settlement, this is the first one.
The puppet Tang Qiu spread his palms, and the palms suddenly sank, and a small bottle floated out.
Tang Nian seemed indifferent on the surface, but in her heart she was so nervous that she stared at the puppet Tang Qiu eagerly.
The little bottle is getting closer and closer to the water tank
Just as he was about to fall over, a voice suddenly came from behind Tang Nian: "I advise you to stop."
Youyou's voice made Tang Nian furious, and the puppet Tang Qiu reacted quickly, turned around and looked at the person behind him.
In the darkness, with the light of the settlement brazier, Tang Nian could see clearly that it was a man wrapped in animal skins.
"How did you find me?" Tang Nian asked.
The animal-skin man stared at her curiously, then glanced at Tang Qiu, and said in shock, "A sixth-grade puppet?"
Then he said with a strange look: "Girl, you are so rich, you still have ideas about our small settlement?"
Tang Nian was extremely flustered when he was called Po Po.
But at this moment, her mind moved again.
She knew that rank six puppets were extremely expensive and could only be bought with blood gold.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the eldest lady of the extraordinary power family who can spend a lot of blood gold to buy sixth-grade puppets.
So, she coughed lightly, raised her head arrogantly, and said: "Miss Ben, I'm just going out to practice. How did you find me?"
The animal-skinned man said: "The girl thinks of me too much, doesn't she?"
His eyes moved, and he said again: "Miss of a powerful family, we don't want to offend. How about this, what the girl wants, whatever she likes, just take it, and we will make a good relationship."
Tang Nian looked at him quietly, turned around again, and seeing no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the puppet Tang Qiu's arms, but clinging to the puppet Tang Qiu, not going far.
The animal-skinned man turned around and said kindly: "Young Master Shan Jun, show Miss the monsters in this settlement, and take whichever one you like."
Afterwards, he led the way, and Tang Nian walked behind, thinking of ways as he walked.
And the colorless and odorless toxin was still spinning around in the palm of the puppet Tang Qiu, waiting for the time to throw it into the water tank again.
This road did not last long.
At a certain corner, when passing a large water tank, when Tang Nian let the puppet Tang Qiu quietly throw poison into the water tank,
Gong Shanjun, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around as if he had eyes behind his back, and grabbed Tang Nian with one hand like a flash of lightning.
This place is a hidden place, if there is no intentional planning, how can I find it?
experience?
Would he believe such nonsense?
The reason why Gong Shanjun didn't make a move immediately was because at that time...he was not sure yet, so he coaxed the little girl with a few words.
But now, when he found an opportunity, he made a move.
At this moment, the puppet Tang Qiu was poisoning, and all Tang Nian's attention was focused on the poison, so it was a bit slower.
And this beat is the distance between victory and defeat.
Tang Nian's face was pale, his short hair was hung by the oncoming strong wind, and he was flying backwards, his brain was buzzing and blank, and his eyes were filled with fear.
About ten miles away.
The boy was originally under the carriage, leaning against the old tree, drinking wine.
At this moment, he had already grabbed a blood-red bow, holding the bow with his left hand, and the strange blood flowed from the bow, as if to drown his fingers and the back of his hand.
His right hand threw a string of stones upwards.
When the first stone fell, he drew his bow and shot it.
Immediately afterwards, there is the second and third No.30
None of the stones that were thrown fell to the ground.
The young man lowered his bow slightly, then bent down to pick up the stone.
As for the settlement in the distance, Gong Shanjun was about to succeed, but he only felt a huge movement behind him.
A huge force was piercing through the air, like a meteor coming from the sky, but it was already approaching the ground, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the roaring crackling sound.
But he couldn't escape either.
He shouted loudly, and his blood surged wildly.
Normally, he should raise his hand and draw the ancestral talisman with blood.
After all, if the attack is unstoppable, let the body be injured, and then quickly heal the wound with the ancestral talisman, and then retreat.
But the situation is different now.
There is also a sixth-grade puppet behind him.
He won't have time to heal!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Gong Shanjun roared, his blood seemed to push all the wind around him against the wind, and bumped into the rushing force.
boom! !
Gong Shanjun flew upside down, spewed blood from his mouth into mist, and then fell to the ground. Tang Nian, who had reacted, held down his body with a puppet.
At the same time, all the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th ranks in this settlement were attacked to varying degrees, and fell to the ground one by one, but they did not die.
They looked up in horror, not knowing what they had encountered, nor what kind of power it was.
The air is very quiet.
Tonight's wind is as cold as ever.
Li Yuan maintained the posture of holding the bow, and waited for another half an hour. After seeing that the other party had no support, he grabbed the ghost bow, got into the carriage, raised the reins, and shouted "Drive".
The fierce horses kicked off their hooves and gathered in the distance leisurely.
When he arrived at the settlement, Tang Nian bowed his head and said in shame, "Father, I'm sorry."
Li Yuan smiled at her and said, "It's been done quite well."
After all, he looked at Gong Shanjun and felt a little headache.
Human skin handcuffs are only useful for the seventh rank, but this is the sixth rank
Gong Shanjun saw his embarrassment.
This rank-[-] demon hunter is very clever. Although he was seriously injured and hadn't been healed with shadow blood, he prostrated himself to the ground like a jade pillar, and said: "Gong Shanjun, I am willing to serve you!"
Li Yuan nodded without saying anything.
Afterwards, he let the puppet Tang Qiu look at Gong Shanjun, while he himself found the second strongest person in the settlement.
It was a rough man with "225~260" floating above his head.
Li Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly used the "human skin handcuffs" on him.
a few days later.
Gong Shanjun pointed to a road into the mountain, and said respectfully, "My lord, this is the road. There is a small hidden village ahead of this road. I think that should be the place you are looking for."
Li Yuan turned his head and looked at him with a smile. The rough man behind him.
The man shook his head.
Li Yuan raised his hand and patted Gong Shanjun, saying: "Good job, I hope you didn't lie to me."
Gong Shanjun laughed and said, "How could I lie to Sir?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Yuan's sword flashed in front of him, directly cutting the sixth-grade monster hunter in half, and then shook the sword.
The fiery drops of blood glowed a strange and cruel red in the sunlight.
(End of this chapter)
the twelfth lunar month,
little snow,
In Baihua Manor, the maids are making dumplings.
The water vapor on the steaming pot is mixed with daily warmth;
A mouthful of dumplings with soup is also full of human fireworks.
Although Xiaopingan didn't understand what "Innate Shadow Blood" was, he understood that it was a powerful talent.
He asked every day: "Where is my sister, when will my sister come back?"
Li Yuan didn't bring Tang Nian and Xiao Jin back immediately, because he was afraid that the deputy palace master would kill him.
He manipulated the gray Ninth-Rank Demon Sparrow hidden in the misty reeds of the Changmian River, carefully watching the sailing boat going away, but a cold light flew from a distance and directly shot his Ninth-Rank Demon Sparrow.
The two black birds on the outer layer witnessed the tragedy, and found that it was a chopstick that shot the Ninth-Rank Demon Bird.
Obviously, the chopsticks were shot by that aunt.
The chopsticks should be the ones that the boatman eats on the boat
This really shocked Li Yuan.
However, the boat continued to go away and did not return.
The auntie just removed the lower eyeliner.
She has reached an extremely sensitive level of "being watched around the body", which also taught Li Yuan a lesson, a reminder:
Perhaps, perception cannot be easily let go, especially where there are more masters.
Ordinary people mainly rely on their eyesight. When someone is stared at by others, he will naturally feel that he is being stared at.
But high-grade fighters no longer rely entirely on their eyesight, their perception has reached an unbelievable level.
As a sixth rank, Li Yuan can already see the scenes beyond the small number in detail, so if others look at him from the small number, he can also perceive it.
It’s okay in the busy city, because there are so many people, the problem is not too big;
But at this wilderness ferry, this perception is very clear
Li Yuan didn't dare to let the birds look at the direction the boat was going away, and only let them fly around.
At the same time, he quickly added a Ninth Grade Demon Sparrow as his eyeliner.
It's just that the "color-changing demon bird" is quite rare, and this supplementary ninth-grade demon bird is much more common.
two days later.
After confirming that Gu Xuejian had completely left, Li Yuancai went to the black market Huangquan and brought his two daughters back.
To Li Yuan's surprise, the two daughters, who were withdrawn to varying degrees, unexpectedly looked at each other right.
If there is no time to get along with each other independently, even if the two girls live in the same big courtyard, they still have their own way of playing.
But in the black market Ghost Field, something happened, the relationship between the two girls became very good, they got together, whispering, mysteriously, and I don't know what they were talking about.
As soon as they returned to Baihua Manor, the two girls ran to Tang Nian's big house.
One tall and one short, a girl and a girl, and behind him was a big man with an expressionless face, "Tang Qiu".
"Tang Qiu" was carrying a heavy iron box that was bigger than others. There was a "bang dong dong dong" sound in the box, obviously a lot of puppet equipment was put in it.
Then they entered the big house.
Before closing the door, a hand was stretched out, and a signboard saying "Do not disturb after retreating" was hung.
Immediately, the door was closed and locked.
When Xiaopingan heard that her sister was back, she was very happy. With her hands behind her back and her wooden knife on her back, Xiaoping came to look for her sister.
Xiao Ju followed closely behind, shouting: "My lord, my lord, don't run so fast."
Xiaopingan didn't listen.
Xiaoju shouted again: "Master, why are you running so fast?"
But after changing the sentence pattern, Xiao Pingan stopped. He liked to confuse others, so he said, "Some things, it's time for my sister to know."
Xiaoju froze for a moment, wanted to laugh, but tried hard to hold back.
She has not been with the young master for a day or two, so she naturally knows the young master's temper, so imitating his sentence pattern: "Missy will be very happy."
Xiaoping continued to run with his hands behind his back, he had to let his sister know.
He, Li Pingan, has a terrible "innate shadow blood".
But when Xiaoping came to the big house, he saw the wooden sign hanging on the door.
He was literate early, and he recognized the four characters "Do not disturb after retreat" written on the wooden sign.
Xiaopingan felt very uncomfortable, he thought about it and went to knock on the door.
However, the two women in the room might have been too focused to hear his knock on the door at all.
And Xiaoju didn't dare to call
Ever since, Xiaoping came here in good spirits and returned in defeat,
Tried to be silly, but failed.
The little child felt great malice.
Then, Xiaopingan began to look forward to her sister coming out for dinner.
But the meals were actually brought in by outsiders.
Little Ping'an had no choice but to come over to have a look after practicing swords every day.
There should be no secrets between relatives.
He must let the woman who once laughed at him as a crying bag know,
He, Li Pingan, the number one swordsman in the world, possesses "innate shadow blood".
On this day, after he finished practicing "the nameless sword technique with a scary name but no lethality", he ran to the big room again and looked at the door expectantly.
He thought the door opened and his sister came out.
Today, something is different.
After a short while, weird and mixed sounds came from the big room.
The sound was like the friction of a blunt knife cutting flesh, like the twisting of steel that made teeth ache, like a heavy object being lifted up and down repeatedly.
Different sounds, mixed together.
Suddenly, the big house began to tremble, and the tiles on the roof began to vibrate.
Xiao Ping'an was stunned, with a frightened look on his face, and his mouth slowly opened wide.
The vibration in the big room became bigger and bigger, and Xiao Ping'an's mouth opened wider and wider.
next moment.
boom! ! ! !
The house in front of him exploded.
Xiaopingan was blown by the air wave and flew backwards.
The maid Xiaoju behind him hurriedly hugged him, then turned around and fell to the ground.
The big house was blown into ruins, and in the billowing smoke and dust, the expressionless puppet Tang Qiu stretched out six arms, one of which was holding two large shields, and was blocking left and right, blocking the flying metal in the violent airflow , protecting the maiden and girl in the middle
Outside the house, the "Innate Shadow Blood Powerhouse" who was protected by Xiaoju shrunk his mouth, his lips trembled, and then burst into tears.
"Hand out."
"Stand out!"
"Father, take it easy."
"Don't smile. If you don't let you know the pain, there will be no lesson!"
Li Yuan looked serious, looking at the two culprits who blew up the house and blew Xiaopingan away.
He grabbed Xiao Jin's hand first, raised the ruler, hit him lightly twice, and said, "I hurt myself, what should I do?"
Then he looked at Tang Nian again.
The white clothes changed to gray clothes, and the dirty Tang Nian also stretched out his hand.
Li Yuan raised the ruler high and wanted to hit it hard, but when he reached the landing point, he hit it twice lightly, and said: "Your sister is not sensible, you have to understand. When it comes to puppetry, you are also a master. Why do you still use it?" House blown up?
Fortunately, your brother was not hurt this time. If he was, what should we do? "
Tang Nian lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, adoptive father."
Li Yuandao: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Tang Nian told the story in detail.
In the past few months, she and Xiaojin have been in the black market, Huangquan, and slowly got together to play together.
She plays with puppets.
Xiao Jin played with crows.
They chatted, talked, and told each other how they played with this thing.
The puppets below the sixth rank are made of metal, the hearts of monsters, and the veins of the masses carved out by the puppet master's special flame knife.
Although the requirement of this "mass context" is precise, it is not complicated. There are ready-made ones on the market, and Tang Nian can do it himself.
The sixth-grade puppets replaced the metal with soul iron crystals.
And the context that needs to be engraved becomes extremely complicated, and there are too many things that need to be paid attention to. This kind of craftsmanship is also very rare in the sixth rank, but it is also very popular.
To put it bluntly, a puppet is an application of the "yin-yang combination".
Soul iron crystal belongs to yin, heart belongs to yang.
Soul iron crystals are collected from some ghost domains, and there are chaotic and unspeakable "souls" hidden in them. At least this is recorded in the ancient books of the puppet masters of the Tang family. Whether it is true or not, it is at least helpful for understanding.
After this soul iron crystal was nourished by the blood in the heart of the sixth rank, the yin and yang combined, thus giving birth to flesh and blood, and became somewhat "intelligent", unlike the puppets below the sixth rank who were so stupid and set up the past. Go wherever you go, even if there is a cliff in front of you, don't look back.
But at the same time, puppets below the sixth rank suffer because they have no soul.
When Tang Nian talked about this, Xiao Jin said that there might be a soul in her crow, and recently her mother taught her how to use the crow to possess a body.
When talking about this, Li Yuan interrupted.
Yan Niangzi taught Xiao Jin skills, he knew it.
but.
"What is a crow possessed?" he asked.
Xiao Jin said angrily: "Yaoyao can occupy the body of other people or small animals, but only for a while.
Niang said, if it goes on for a long time, either the person who is occupied will be injured, or the crow will be injured. "
Li Yuan was speechless.
Isn't this "ghost upper body"?
People with sufficient yang energy can drive away ghosts;
Those with insufficient yang energy will get seriously ill after being possessed by ghosts for a long time.
"Don't use it on people indiscriminately in the future." He stroked his daughter's hair.
Xiao Jin said cutely: "Daddy, I won't harm anyone."
Li Yuan smiled gently to show encouragement.
He wanted to add "If it's a bad person, it's okay", but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
The power of my own daughter cannot be revealed in front of outsiders, otherwise there will be a catastrophe, so it is better to temporarily contain it from the source, and wait until the daughter has a normal view of good and evil and has strong power.
"Niannian, keep talking.
Then, are you going to create new toys like crow possession and puppetry? "
Tang Nian said calmly, "Yes, foster father."
Li Yuandao: "Then you failed."
Xiao Jin said: "Father, it's not a failure, it's just that those puppets are crazy."
"Crazy?" Li Yuan became curious.
Xiao Jin said: "They."
She tried to express, but unfortunately her vocabulary was poor and she couldn't speak.
Tang Nian said: "Father, let's try again, you will know."
Li Yuan nodded.
Then, the three came to the courtyard.
Tang Nian grabbed a puppet rabbit and came out, Xiao Jin flung a crow out of his hair, the crow bumped into the puppet rabbit, and completely fell into it.
Then the puppet rabbit suddenly started to turn its head and legs as if it had a cramp.
A short while later, amidst the harsh sound of steel twisting, the head of the puppet rabbit was twisted off, and its legs were also broken.
The tail seemed to be torn by two forces, turning like a propeller, clockwise for a while, counterclockwise for a while, and then exploded.
Blood spurted out from the severed head, severed leg, and severed tail.
The rabbit struggled a few steps forward, and fell to the ground completely.
The crow flew out from the rabbit's head, and then fell back into Xiaojin's hair.
Tang Nian looked at Li Yuan helplessly, and said, "Father, that's it."
Li Yuandao: "Open the puppet and look at the heart."
Tang Nian said: "It's been opened earlier, my heart is already rotten."
Li Yuan stepped forward, tearing away the metal body of the puppet rabbit like pulling noodles.
Sure enough, among the puppets, the heart of the monster installed inside was shriveled, as if someone had stepped on it severely.
Tang Nian said: "The only explanation is that the hearts of these monsters are not completely flesh and blood, among them"
She paused for a while, her eyes showed some complicated and warm colors, then she raised her head and said: "Perhaps there is a remnant soul from her previous life.
Therefore, it is repelling foreign souls.
When the foreign soul enters, the foreign soul is powerful, but the remnant soul in the heart has the advantage of the heart.
The instinctive struggle between the two sides can only end in this way.
As for the 'soul' in the soul iron crystal, it may be a kind of soul without self-awareness.
Putting the heart into it didn't produce a new soul, but was warmed up to grow and regenerate blood and flesh. "
Li Yuan looked at his adoptive daughter.
He didn't say anything, just nodded.
This is not so much Tang Nian's speculation as it is her wish.
If this wish is true, then at least her father still has a remnant soul.
Tang Nian fell silent.
Li Yuan turned his head slightly, saw Xiao Jin who was blinking next to him, and couldn't help but hug her into his arms and put her on his lap.
Xiao Jin was a little unhappy and said: "Yaoyao, it failed."
Li Yuan rubbed her hair and said: "No failure, if in the future the enemy uses puppets to beat parents, you release your crows."
Xiao Jin smiled: "Then, the bad puppets will all go crazy."
"Yes." Li Yuan smiled, "Yaoya, there is no failure."
This unexpected discovery surprised him a little.
He remembered that the puppet can explore the ghost domain, because the puppet will not be attacked by ghost servants.
But if Xiaojin manipulates the crow into the puppet's body, it can drive the puppet crazy.
This method is not unique, it is also extremely rare.
After coaxing one daughter, Li Yuan looked at the other daughter.
The girl in white with short hair lost her mind after talking about the "remnant soul", and her eyes that were already frozen were a little dull.
"Every year."
"."
"Every year!"
"Yeyifu!" Tang Nian jumped out of his own world as if waking up from a dream.
Li Yuandao: "Clean up, after two days, foster father will take you out."
"Okay, adoptive father." Tang Nian didn't ask where he was going, but answered.
Afterwards, Li Yuan found Xiaopingan again, and when he found that his son had only a little skin trauma, he comforted him softly, and then instilled the concept of "run away if things are not going well".
From Li Yuan's point of view, his son should have run away after seeing the abnormality in the house. Why did he still stand there in a daze?
If you ran early, wouldn't you be affected?
In the end, Xiaopingan refused to accept it, and said things like "Oh, I'm still too weak", "I ran away today, then I won't be able to stand there anymore".
Li Yuanqi grabbed the ruler and asked his son, "Will you run away next time you encounter an abnormality?"
Xiao Ping'an was as stubborn as a donkey, and said, "I won't run if you run."
Li Yuan stepped forward, and slapped Xiao Pingan twice with a little force, making a red mark on his palm.
Xiaopingan cried again.
Li Yuan went out to investigate, only to find that the childhood stories his son listened to were all "Legends of the Knights" and the like, and he asked Xiaoju to bring those "Legends of the Knights" to read carefully
Turning it over and over, I saw two characters between the lines: Zhong Er.
Li Yuan carefully recalled the books he read before crossing. As a father, he wanted to correct his son's wrong personality.
He thought for a long time, and decided to take time to tell his son "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals". Although he didn't remember much, he could still say a few words.
Housework, just a small episode.
After dealing with it, Li Yuan began to consider the question of "whether the south is suitable as a back road".
He was a little apprehensive, but he had to try.
And the breakthrough of this back road is the "monster hunter".
He didn't decide to go south, but he wanted to see every choice as clearly as possible before making a decision, so as not to regret it.
After nightfall, he shared the bed with the proprietress.
The proprietress was a little distressed that her son was beaten.
Li Yuan explained to her carefully, and the proprietress showed a worried look, after all, she didn't want her son to be so "brave".
Afterwards, the two got down to business.
"The relocation is almost over, many people have already gone to Mianzhou Road with Mr. Yan, Zhou Jia said to go, so I let him go too.
Recently, I’ve been exhausted, I’ve been busy everywhere.”
The proprietress complained softly to Xianggong.
Li Yuan gently rubbed her shoulders from behind.
The proprietress said: "The demon hunters still refuse to take us to their base. They evade that they have no fixed place to live, but I think they are lying."
“How come you see?”
"They provide an ordering service, that is, what type of monster you want, they can try to find it, but after a while, they will send a matching monster.
This shows that they have warehouses.
Since there is a warehouse, there must be a base. "
Li Yuan thought for a moment, and said, "Who is the highest status among them?"
The proprietress rolled her eyes and said: "They are all doing practical things, and the ones who really make decisions have never been here."
Li Yuan thought for a while, nodded, and said: "I see."
That night,
After falling into the dream, Li Yuan appeared in the grocery store deep in the ghost street, and took new [human skin handcuffs] from Yan Niangzi.
The next day,
He opened the way with money and asked the proprietress to rush to buy monsters with an amount that "exceeded the monster hunter's stock of monsters on the black market".
At the same time, he gathered a lot of common birds, went to Rongguangfang, the southernmost place in Shanbao County, and began to follow them.
The steward below the proprietress went to the black market to buy all the monsters, and then kept urging them, saying "not enough, not enough", "immediately, urgently needed".
Because it was not the first time that the two parties had dealt with each other, the demon hunter had no doubt about him, so he hurried to the south.
This is a Ninth Grade demon hunter, his ability is not enough to spot the birds in the sky.
The Ninth-Rank Monster Hunter rode on his horse, while Li Yuan called Tang Nian, and then the imperial chariot followed him in a distance.
A day later, the demon hunter came to a gathering place in the wilderness. After he entered in a hurry, when he came out soon, he pulled an ox cart.
In the iron cage on the bullock cart, there are drugged and sleepy monsters.
In the gathering place, an eighth-rank demon hunter came out, and together with the ninth-rank demon hunter, they headed towards Shanbao County.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry, but let the birds follow the gathering place.
in the carriage,
Father and daughter, plus a sixth-grade puppet sat quietly.
The sky is from dusk to dawn, and the shadows of the mountains move with the light.
The long grass in the wilderness outside the car has not yet grown, showing a dry scene, which is abnormally deserted.
A small carriage is like a bean between the mountains and the wilderness.
The girl in white with short hair is drinking wine. She is already eighteen years old, a big girl, and her adoptive father can't force her to stop drinking.
"Aren't you asking me why I brought you out?" Li Yuan asked.
Tang Nian rested his chin, smiled drunkly and said, "Father, your thoughts are written on your face."
She had recognized Li Yuan as her adoptive father for nearly ten years, and she naturally began to speak casually, instead of calling her "adopted father" rigidly.
"Is it so obvious?" Li Yuan smiled.
Tang Nian raised his head and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lonely?"
"Even if it's not for being lonely, you should come out for a walk." Li Yuan said.
Tang Nian's eyes drooped slightly and he said, "Recently, the county feels that something big is going to happen. Dad, a lot of people have left in your restaurant."
Li Yuan didn't hide from her, and directly told the invitation of the Shenmu Temple and the threat of the red lotus thief.
When Tang Nian heard "Mianzhou Road", he was a little dazed.
Li Yuanqi asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Nian was silent for a while, and did not choose to hide it, but said: "Mianzhou Road is Niannian's hometown."
Li Yuan looked at the puppet and scolded with a smile: "Good old Tang, you lied to me even if you died."
Then he looked at the adoptive daughter and explained: "Old Tang lied to me that the Tang family is in a small county by the sea, and there are mountains on the other side of Mianzhou, where does the sea come from?"
Tang Qing said: "Father, Old Tang didn't lie to you, he just... thought I didn't know.
He didn't want me to come home again.
Also, Old Tang is actually not called Tang Qiu, but Tang Xuan. "
The father and daughter were silent for a while.
The car was quiet for a while.
Li Yuan changed the subject and said: "Bringing you out this time is different from before, mainly to take you to participate in actual combat.
You have grown up, and you will inevitably encounter fights in the future."
After all, he explained the purpose of his trip.
To put it simply, this is an exploration and land reclamation, an exploration of "whether the south is suitable for relocation".
The first step is to find the guide, but the guide will not be as obedient as the guide, they have their own plans and plots, they will also hide, and even have malicious intentions.
"So, every year, we should discuss it with the people in the settlement in front and make them obedient?" Tang Nian asked.
Li Yuandao: "There are a lot of monsters hidden in that settlement. If they kill all the monsters and release all the monsters, then maybe they won't cause us any trouble, but they may flee to the surrounding counties."
"let me see"
Tang Nian held his chin, then his eyes lit up and said, "Poison."
Li Yuandao: "Are you poisonous?"
Tang Nian's cheeks were flushed, he held his head proudly and said, "I have learned it well in Orange Blossom Hall, and I have brought a lot of toxins with me."
As she said that, with a thought in her mind, Tang Qiu, the puppet over there, opened the big iron box that she carried with her, and then took out row after row of bottles and jars. The jars were colorful, obviously full of various toxins.
"Father, when shall I leave?" Tang Nian yawned.
Li Yuan suddenly said: "A sixth-rank puppet is slightly weaker than your puppet, three seventh-rank, six eighth-rank, and several ninth-rank puppet, none of them are ordinary people.
In addition, there are scattered monsters, but there are no sixth-rank, but seventh-rank, eight-rank, and ninth-rank.
Weapons are mainly bows and arrows, as well as hunting knives.
Their drinking water is obtained from a stream in the southwest of the settlement. The stream is not far from the settlement. If there is any movement, the settlement will hear it.
The most important point is that the perception of the sixth grade is very keen.
Moreover, this may not be the headquarters of the demon hunters, maybe they have other settlements that will come to support them. "
Tang Nian closed his eyes and thought for a while, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, Dad, I'm going."
Li Yuan nodded.
Tang Nian jumped off the carriage, and the puppet Tang Qiu followed closely behind, carrying a big iron box on his back.
Tang Nian walked for a while and looked back, but she didn't see Li Yuan coming. She scratched her hair, took a deep breath, and squeezed her small fists to cheer herself up.
Her thinking is very simple, with outnumbered enemies, if she can't kill the opponent, if she has a chance to open the cage of the monster, then she can only poison her.
The only place where the poison is poisoned is the drinking water.
As a "toxin lover", she naturally stored colorless and odorless poisons.
"The poison is lower than the seventh rank, and then let Old Tang fight against the opponent's sixth rank."
"It should be noted that when poisoning, it cannot be discovered."
"The toxin is mainly poisonous, and it cannot be fatal, otherwise Dad's exploration plan will be ruined."
"As for making puppets on the spot, although I can do it, it's better not to make extra troubles. The more complicated the plan, the easier it is for accidents to be quietly poisoned, and then one-on-one with the opponent's sixth grade."
Tang Nian decided to wait until night before making a move.
Maybe it's a beautiful day, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight.
Tang Nian asked the puppet Tang Qiu to put down the iron box, carrying only the toxin, and then went to the distant settlement like a ghost.
She is at the beginning of the seventh rank, and the puppet Tang Qiu is a puppet who can perform stably.
It is not difficult for this pair to get into the camp.
The puppet Tang Qiu used his left arm as a saddle, allowing his master to sit in it, then moved carefully in the camp, and then successfully avoided the low-grade warriors who were patrolling the night, and came to a large water tank.
There are two water tanks in the settlement, this is the first one.
The puppet Tang Qiu spread his palms, and the palms suddenly sank, and a small bottle floated out.
Tang Nian seemed indifferent on the surface, but in her heart she was so nervous that she stared at the puppet Tang Qiu eagerly.
The little bottle is getting closer and closer to the water tank
Just as he was about to fall over, a voice suddenly came from behind Tang Nian: "I advise you to stop."
Youyou's voice made Tang Nian furious, and the puppet Tang Qiu reacted quickly, turned around and looked at the person behind him.
In the darkness, with the light of the settlement brazier, Tang Nian could see clearly that it was a man wrapped in animal skins.
"How did you find me?" Tang Nian asked.
The animal-skin man stared at her curiously, then glanced at Tang Qiu, and said in shock, "A sixth-grade puppet?"
Then he said with a strange look: "Girl, you are so rich, you still have ideas about our small settlement?"
Tang Nian was extremely flustered when he was called Po Po.
But at this moment, her mind moved again.
She knew that rank six puppets were extremely expensive and could only be bought with blood gold.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the eldest lady of the extraordinary power family who can spend a lot of blood gold to buy sixth-grade puppets.
So, she coughed lightly, raised her head arrogantly, and said: "Miss Ben, I'm just going out to practice. How did you find me?"
The animal-skinned man said: "The girl thinks of me too much, doesn't she?"
His eyes moved, and he said again: "Miss of a powerful family, we don't want to offend. How about this, what the girl wants, whatever she likes, just take it, and we will make a good relationship."
Tang Nian looked at him quietly, turned around again, and seeing no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the puppet Tang Qiu's arms, but clinging to the puppet Tang Qiu, not going far.
The animal-skinned man turned around and said kindly: "Young Master Shan Jun, show Miss the monsters in this settlement, and take whichever one you like."
Afterwards, he led the way, and Tang Nian walked behind, thinking of ways as he walked.
And the colorless and odorless toxin was still spinning around in the palm of the puppet Tang Qiu, waiting for the time to throw it into the water tank again.
This road did not last long.
At a certain corner, when passing a large water tank, when Tang Nian let the puppet Tang Qiu quietly throw poison into the water tank,
Gong Shanjun, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around as if he had eyes behind his back, and grabbed Tang Nian with one hand like a flash of lightning.
This place is a hidden place, if there is no intentional planning, how can I find it?
experience?
Would he believe such nonsense?
The reason why Gong Shanjun didn't make a move immediately was because at that time...he was not sure yet, so he coaxed the little girl with a few words.
But now, when he found an opportunity, he made a move.
At this moment, the puppet Tang Qiu was poisoning, and all Tang Nian's attention was focused on the poison, so it was a bit slower.
And this beat is the distance between victory and defeat.
Tang Nian's face was pale, his short hair was hung by the oncoming strong wind, and he was flying backwards, his brain was buzzing and blank, and his eyes were filled with fear.
About ten miles away.
The boy was originally under the carriage, leaning against the old tree, drinking wine.
At this moment, he had already grabbed a blood-red bow, holding the bow with his left hand, and the strange blood flowed from the bow, as if to drown his fingers and the back of his hand.
His right hand threw a string of stones upwards.
When the first stone fell, he drew his bow and shot it.
Immediately afterwards, there is the second and third No.30
None of the stones that were thrown fell to the ground.
The young man lowered his bow slightly, then bent down to pick up the stone.
As for the settlement in the distance, Gong Shanjun was about to succeed, but he only felt a huge movement behind him.
A huge force was piercing through the air, like a meteor coming from the sky, but it was already approaching the ground, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the roaring crackling sound.
But he couldn't escape either.
He shouted loudly, and his blood surged wildly.
Normally, he should raise his hand and draw the ancestral talisman with blood.
After all, if the attack is unstoppable, let the body be injured, and then quickly heal the wound with the ancestral talisman, and then retreat.
But the situation is different now.
There is also a sixth-grade puppet behind him.
He won't have time to heal!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Gong Shanjun roared, his blood seemed to push all the wind around him against the wind, and bumped into the rushing force.
boom! !
Gong Shanjun flew upside down, spewed blood from his mouth into mist, and then fell to the ground. Tang Nian, who had reacted, held down his body with a puppet.
At the same time, all the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th ranks in this settlement were attacked to varying degrees, and fell to the ground one by one, but they did not die.
They looked up in horror, not knowing what they had encountered, nor what kind of power it was.
The air is very quiet.
Tonight's wind is as cold as ever.
Li Yuan maintained the posture of holding the bow, and waited for another half an hour. After seeing that the other party had no support, he grabbed the ghost bow, got into the carriage, raised the reins, and shouted "Drive".
The fierce horses kicked off their hooves and gathered in the distance leisurely.
When he arrived at the settlement, Tang Nian bowed his head and said in shame, "Father, I'm sorry."
Li Yuan smiled at her and said, "It's been done quite well."
After all, he looked at Gong Shanjun and felt a little headache.
Human skin handcuffs are only useful for the seventh rank, but this is the sixth rank
Gong Shanjun saw his embarrassment.
This rank-[-] demon hunter is very clever. Although he was seriously injured and hadn't been healed with shadow blood, he prostrated himself to the ground like a jade pillar, and said: "Gong Shanjun, I am willing to serve you!"
Li Yuan nodded without saying anything.
Afterwards, he let the puppet Tang Qiu look at Gong Shanjun, while he himself found the second strongest person in the settlement.
It was a rough man with "225~260" floating above his head.
Li Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly used the "human skin handcuffs" on him.
a few days later.
Gong Shanjun pointed to a road into the mountain, and said respectfully, "My lord, this is the road. There is a small hidden village ahead of this road. I think that should be the place you are looking for."
Li Yuan turned his head and looked at him with a smile. The rough man behind him.
The man shook his head.
Li Yuan raised his hand and patted Gong Shanjun, saying: "Good job, I hope you didn't lie to me."
Gong Shanjun laughed and said, "How could I lie to Sir?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Yuan's sword flashed in front of him, directly cutting the sixth-grade monster hunter in half, and then shook the sword.
The fiery drops of blood glowed a strange and cruel red in the sunlight.
