Legend of the Great Sage

The team climbed mountains and ridges all the way, but there was no green along the way. The sound of locusts flapping their wings was everywhere, coupled with the unknown fear ahead, which made people feel restless. From time to time, quarrels broke out, and even swords faced each other.

Liu Hong could no longer walk in the front, so he rode his horse around in front of the team, intimidating everyone with the majesty of an innate master, and came to a narrow valley.

Liu Hong stopped his horse suddenly, waved his hand to stop the team, and said loudly: "Where is the friend in front, don't be sneaky, come out and see you!"

With a burst of innate qi, the voice rolled and echoed in the valley.

"Haha, who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be an iron lion. Do you still recognize me?"

A big man climbed onto a huge rock and looked down at the team below. His face was scorched and sick, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he held a big bow in his hand. Many figures stood up on both sides of the valley, all holding bows and arrows.

"Huang Biaohu!" Liu Hong's pupils shrank. Although he was a congenital master who piled up spiritual fruits, he could tell that Huang Biaohu had reached the seventh level of Qi refining, opened up a sea of ​​qi in his dantian, and had transcended The realm of a master of the rivers and lakes, and become a real Qi refiner.

He cupped his hands and said, "Villa Master Huang, it's been a long time. I heard that you traveled around and returned to the mountains at some point to start such a business."

"Master Liu made me laugh. The monsters are rampant now, and the mountains are not a paradise. I only have to go to Qinghe Mansion to make a living, but the rations are not enough. There is nothing I can do about it."

Huang Binghu sighed. The locust plague mainly spread in the populated places, and did not reach the deep mountains and old forests. Lema Village lived on hunting instead of growing food, so it was relatively comfortable at first. However, over the years, those lurking in the The monsters in the depths of Cangmang Mountain are gradually expanding their range of activities.

A few months ago, monsters began to break into the village. The high wooden wall might stop the army, but it couldn't stop the monsters walking like the wind. People died within a few days. He simply regards Le Mazhuang as a "sheep pen", and can come to catch a few people to eat at any time.

Le Mazhuang had to invite Huang Binghu back, and it took a lot of hard work to shoot the monster, but Le Mazhuang also killed nearly a hundred people, but if it was a monster, it might not be the one who died Who is it. Huang Binghu had to take the whole village to relocate as a last resort, but Lema Village didn't have so much food reserves, so this happened.

Huang Binghu could shoot and kill a qi refiner at the first level, but Liu Hong was a bit tricky, not because he was afraid of the Iron Fist, but because the old man had a good apprentice, the current farm owner Li Long.

"Master Liu, take the disciples of the Iron Fist Sect and leave first! Although I don't want to do this kind of thing, I can't watch the children starve to death.

"As soon as Huang Binghu said this, the team behind was in a panic, some begged Liu Hong for protection, and some cursed Huang Binghu.

With a whoosh, a cold arrow was shot from nowhere, and the person who scolded fell to the ground, and the crowd seemed to be blown up: "Killer!"

"Whatever howling, just shut up!"

Liu Hong let out an angry roar, and with his years of power in Qingyang City, the team immediately fell silent. He has no sympathy for the person who was shot and killed, a dignified Qi refiner, how can you just curse at him, even a second- and third-rate figure in the world will kill someone with a knife.

"Brother Huang, why don't we go to Qinghe Mansion together, I'll take care of the food matters, and the road will be safer."

Liu Hong changed his mind, the disciples of the Iron Fist Sect didn't grow from the soil, they were mostly connected with the rich families behind them, if they were allowed to be plundered by Huang Binghu, people's hearts would be lost immediately. But if he resolutely refuses, Huang Biaohu is not a vegetarian. If he is ruthless and wants to cut the grass and root out the roots without leaving any future troubles, then no one here can stop him.

"Master, we didn't bring that much food." Wang Lei said in a low voice.

"Collect all the food and redistribute it according to the head. If you don't agree, get out!" Liu Hong shouted.

"Thank you, Old Sect Master Liu." Huang Binghu cupped his hands, and the hunters of Le Mazhuang came down from both sides of the valley, and ordered: "Take out our stored food and let Old Sect Master Liu distribute it."

The hunters handed over the dried meat and other food in silence. Everyone's face was expressionless, but there was a kind of violence that could erupt at any time. The painful experience of the past few months had suppressed and distorted their temperament. Not to mention grabbing some food, even cannibalism.

Even the disciples of the Iron Fist Sect who collected the food were cautious when they approached them, let alone the others, who dared to leave the team and hand over the stored food honestly.

The team went back on the road, climbed over several mountains, and finally came to the mountain pass. The vast plain was in front of them, but there was no rice plant, only the boundless barrenness. Perhaps it was because it was too barren, but there were not many locusts flying, and the team moved forward in silence. The villages and towns along the way were all abandoned, and there was no human habitation in sight.

Liu Hong took the lead, and the team traveled day and night to Xiachuan Town.

...

"Take a break!" Liu Hong ordered.

At noon, the sun was scorching hot, and everyone was sweating and exhausted, so they seized the opportunity to rest.

"Xiachuan Town is not far away. When we get there, we can go down the river and reach Qinghefu City without walking!" Wang Lei cheered up his morale loudly.

"It seems that Old Sect Master Liu has already prepared the boat. Is there enough space?" Huang Binghu tentatively asked, even the largest dragon boat can't hold so many people.

"It's all arranged by my disciple. I don't know if there is enough room for me. I'm afraid I'll be squeezed." Liu Hong said carefully.

"As long as there is a boat, it doesn't matter if you squeeze." Huang Binghu said with a smile, anyway, he won't be the one who gets squeezed, and just as he was about to ask a few more questions, his expression suddenly changed, he picked up the big bow behind him, and twirled a feather The arrow rests on the string, looking left and right.

"What's wrong?" Liu Hong asked.

"There is evil spirit!" Huang Binghu glanced around, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a blue shadow emerge from the soil and shoot into the body of a strong man. The burly man screamed and rolled all over the ground, bleeding to death from seven holes in an instant.

Huang Binghu loosened his fingers, and the feathered arrow pierced through the air, shot into the strong man's body, and exploded suddenly.

In the bloody rain of corpses, the blue shadow shot up again, a bloody flower bloomed on the forehead of a Iron Fist disciple, and there was a hole, and he fell down before he could scream.

"The nymph!"

Only then did Huang Binghu see the true face of the blue shadow. It was a locust larva, emerald green in color, only the size of a little finger, and not yet able to fly. It is generally called a gnat. However, the monster's aura is extremely astonishing, reaching the level of a monster, and I don't know how many people it has eaten.

He thought: "This place is so barren that even ordinary locusts can't survive. How could there be gnats? It doesn't seem like a chance encounter, but it seems to be specially here to intercept and kill us!"

Liu Hong didn't even see the appearance of the scorpion monster clearly, and the screams in the crowd continued, until almost everyone was screaming horribly, as if their minds were seized by an invisible monster, and even his heart was shaking. A little flustered, he stretched out his hand to touch a few talismans in his bosom, and managed to calm down.

He asked Huang Binghu beside him, "Brother Huang, what should we do?"

Huang Binghu leaped forward, his body reached the highest point, his pupils shrunk into two points, staring at the monster aura, a dozen arrows rained down like a torrential rain, turning into clusters of bursting flames, blasting a corpse into a smash.

Liu Hong asked: "How is it? Did you kill it?"

"Drilled back into the soil, maybe it hurt him, maybe it didn't."

Huang Sick Tiger shook his head, with an extremely serious expression. The scorpion monster seemed to have read his mind, and immediately burrowed into the soil instead of bouncing off the next victim, otherwise he would have a chance to shoot him. Moreover, maintaining such a small size seems to be aimed at him.

"Then what to do?"

"No way." Huang Binghu said, no matter how strong his archery skills were, it was impossible for him to penetrate the soil and hit the nymph.

Liu Hong's expression changed. A monster lurking in the soil, ready to pounce at any moment, was simply a nightmare.

"It seems that there is no need to worry about not enough boats."

Huang Binghu told a joke, but he couldn't even laugh at himself. In terms of strength alone, that scorpion monster is at most equivalent to the fourth or fifth level of human energy refining, so it can only be regarded as a monster, not a monster.

But he was not sure that he could defeat it, because behind this scorpion monster was a great demon king who caused troubles in Qingzhou. He possessed deep cunning and prudence amidst madness and arrogance. Both his combat skills and experience were absolutely extraordinary. Monsters can compare.

At best, he can play a deterrent role, allowing the demon to eat ordinary people from a distance.

"Let's go!" Liu Hong also gave an order decisively.

But before the words fell, there was another scream, and the last person in the team fell to the ground, and the blue bumps passed under the skin, but they didn't kill him directly, as if they intended to deepen his pain, the scream was so horrific, it was scalp-sick numb.

The crowd suddenly rushed forward like a frying pan, and the distorted wailing sounded into one piece, full of fear and regret. They regretted leaving Qingyang City in a hurry, but they didn't know that Qingyang City at this time had become a "giant locust city." "The slaughterhouse is rapidly transforming into a monster.

Huang Binghu was also on the verge of an arrow, but after thinking about it, he put down his big bow, summoned the hunters in Lema Village, and accelerated towards Xiachuan Town. He can continue to prevent the scorpion from eating, but he must be unable to support it first, so it is better to let the scorpion eat for a while, and it can delay for a while.

But he also knows that this is drinking poison to quench thirst, because every time the gnat eats a person, its strength will increase by one share. If it is completely transformed into an adult, even he will be in danger of being eaten.

"Brother Liu, I hope that Patriarch Li will arrange a pick-up at Xiachuan Ferry, otherwise we will all die!"

"It's just a death." Liu Hong's face was livid.

"Master Liu, Master Huang, help me!" Liu Hong turned his head and saw that a group of people were robbing Ye Dachuan's carriage, so he turned his horse back and blasted his head with a punch, "Get out of here! "

Running all the way, the team split into two, and those who had no horses and no martial arts skills were left behind and became food for the nymphs. The screams gradually faded away and were completely swallowed by the wind and sand.

After walking like this until dusk, even the steed that Liu Hong was sitting on started to foam at the mouth. The disciples of the Iron Fist Sect and the Orion of Le Mazhuang, even with their martial arts skills, were exhausted, so they had to stop to rest and eat some food. thing.

"Thank you, Old Hero Liu. When I get to Qinghe Mansion, there must be another big thank you! If I knew this, I shouldn't have left Qingyang City. No, I shouldn't have returned to Qingyang City. When Jiaping City was destroyed, I should have been old." Honestly go to Fucheng to retire!"

Only now did Ye Dachuan have time to get off the carriage to thank him, his fat face was pale, without the slightest trace of blood.

In the past when Jiaping City was destroyed by stone demons, he had nowhere to go as a county lieutenant, and he was afraid of the power of demons, so he asked his sister to blow pillow wind to Liu Changqing, the magistrate of Qinghe, and transferred back to Qingyang City to be the county magistrate. Thinking of it, I still can't escape.

"My lord, you're welcome!" Liu Hong nodded slightly, Wang Lei patted his chest and said, "As long as I'm still alive, I will ensure that your lord will arrive at Qinghe mansion safely!"

Ye Dachuan's sister is the concubine of Liu Changqing, the magistrate of Qinghe. Although she is old and fading, she has given birth to a son and a daughter for Liu Changqing, and her position has become more stable. Ye Dachuan has been talking about this matter for many years, and Wang Lei can't forget it even if he wants to. He knows that the relationship with Li Long is not harmonious, and it is good to have another way.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Wang!" Ye Dachuan thanked Wang Lei again, but he didn't quite believe in his assurance. It was difficult for the Sect Leader Wang to protect himself, let alone protect him. Suddenly he thought of someone, "Hey, if Qingshan was here, how could he be in such a mess!"

"Lord Ye is thinking too much, do you still think he is your captor?" Huang Binghu smiled, if Li Qingshan was here, what a mere scorpion is nothing.

"I heard from Li Long that he is now the commander of Baiying in Nanhai County, Wuzhou. He occupies a place called Savage Mountain. He is known as the 'King of Savages'. Even the King of Nanyue is courteous to him when he sees him." Liu Hongdao.

"Really?" Huang Binghu showed an inconceivable expression. Only after entering the path of practice can he really feel how unattainable the Shepherd of a State is.

"I didn't believe it when I heard it, but my disciple won't lie. I even punched him dozens of times!"

"Time flies so fast!" Ye Dachuan sighed.

"Are you talking about Li Qingshan?" A high-pitched voice came with the wind.

"Otherwise, who else could there be?" Ye Dachuan asked, but Huang Binghu's face changed drastically, and Liu Hong also raised his fist, looking vigilantly at the barren slope not far away.

At this time, the setting sun had sunk into the horizon, only the west was left with a blush, and a few cold stars lit up in the sky. On the barren slope, a dead tree stretched out its branches like a big thin hand, as if trying to grab a star.

A small gnat was lying on a dead tree branch, and the shrill sound came from his mouthparts.

"It's not good to be bullied to such a distance to realize it!" Huang Binghu keenly noticed that the gnat has a grayish yellow color on it, and it is rapidly transforming into an adult. When it is fully transformed, it will be everyone's favorite It's time to die.

"That's a coincidence. I've known him for a long time. It's thanks to him that I was able to escape from the Demon Town Hall. It's a pity that he went to Wuzhou. Otherwise, I must thank him." To be continued. )
