Linghu Chong was grateful for his life-saving virtue, and immediately went to Changbai Mountain to pick Ganoderma lucidum to celebrate Ning Zhongze's birthday. Who would have expected that he would accidentally walk into an unspeakable trap, scare away Huo Chan who was about to eat the bait, and be chased all the way Come here and wait for everything to be said to him.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Wuzhang curiously, and asked, "Little brother, I don't know much about Ming Cultists, so you must be very familiar with them. You can't say that you are a monk, but people don't seem to be bad?"

Linghu Chong only realized after hearing Zhang Wuzhang's and Unspeakable's answer that he really accidentally broke it. It's not a big deal, but he just chased him around to vent his anger, and didn't kill him with a single palm. It is very tolerant and kind.

"Mingjiao's five scattered people have different temperaments. 'Bu Dai Monk' and 'Mr. Cold Noodle' Leng Qian don't like to kill people. It's your luck that you didn't meet Zhou Dian and Peng Monk." Zhang Wuzhang replied.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably smile wryly, "I'm lucky?", but Linghu Chong laughed loudly, and said, "That's right, if I were to be slapped to death in Changbai Mountain, I wouldn't be able to see what my little brother is doing." The power of the hexagram! This trip really paid off!" As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing heavily.

"You've been running for two days, you should take a break." Zhang Wuzhang got out of the quilt, "Maybe you haven't shown up yet, I'm afraid you didn't find my shelter and went down the mountain."

Linghu Chong complied, and when he lay down on the couch, he purposely slept against the wall, leaving half of the space open for him.There was wind leaking in the stone cave, he was still shivering from the cold, he felt a soft inner force being sent to him in a daze, his heart moved, he was very grateful, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

The favor was given to the big head, so why not give it to the small head?Zhang Wuzhang saw that Linghu Chong was fast asleep like an old lady, and then removed his hand from his back.

He was a bit irritable for the delay in breaking through the pass without breaking through. Even though he understood the principle of haste makes waste, he still couldn't calm down and didn't sleep. He just sat there blindly, thinking hard about the solution.

Linghu Chong fell into a deep sleep, opened his eyes and turned over, only to see Zhang Wuzhang sitting at the entrance of the cave with a gloomy expression, he hurriedly lifted the quilt and sat up: "Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Wuzhang turned his head to look at him, and asked without answering, "Brother Linghu went to Changbai Mountain to celebrate Ning Nvxia's birthday by picking Ganoderma lucidum, did you gain anything?"

He didn't want to say it, Linghu Chong didn't force it, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's very unlucky, I only found some red sesame, yellow sesame and so on, they are so small that I can't take them out, but I saw with my own eyes the fire toad that the monk wanted to catch. I had never heard of it before, and it was an eye-opener.”

The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes have never paid attention to these details. It is a bit wrong to say that Linghu Chong would go to the deep mountains and old forests to find Ganoderma lucidum for Ning Zhongze's birthday.

Zhang Wuzhang understood after thinking for a while, and said with a smile, "But Lady Ning lives forty years old?"

Linghu Chong nodded: "I originally wanted to give my wife a surprise, but I didn't expect it to be in vain. I was chased like a rabbit in a soup, and I had to return empty-handed - but I went back and told my wife to make her laugh, and then I went back to the house." It's worth it."

At this moment, he couldn't stop laughing when he thought of the scene where Zhang Wuzhang played with the cloth bag monk yesterday, and when he talked with Zhang Wuzhang again, the two of them laughed heartily again.

After Linghu Chong regained his strength, he was ready to leave. Zhang Wuzhang looked at the ice and snow field that he had been in for a long time, but the more he looked at it, the more annoying he became. Captured?"

Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, there was still more than a month before Ning Zhongze's birthday, so there was plenty of time, the journey was boring, and he was very happy to have someone to accompany him.

But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated and said: "Don't delay your martial arts practice any longer."

"To tell you the truth, I've been stuck here for a while now. I don't think it's beneficial to sit in meditation, so I might as well go for a private walk to see if I can get God's favor. It's an adventure." Zhang Wuzhang stared at him more. He glanced at it and said with a smile, "Brother Linghu is the only one who knows what this Huo Toad looks like, other than he can't say anything. If we can catch it by the way, it will be the best of both worlds."

It was only now that Linghu Chong realized what his plan was, and immediately said: "Yes!"

Since the former leader Yang Dingtian of Mingjiao disappeared, there has been no leader among them. The four great dharma kings are all interested in the position of leader, and they are fiercely fighting for the position of leader. If Zhang Wuzhang gets Huochan, Wei Yixiao will have to bow his head.

It's just that he is a disciple of the Five Sacred Mountains, so it is inevitable that he will be suspected of helping the emperor to abuse him. Linghu Chong hesitated for a moment, thinking that Wei Yixiao's life-sucking of human blood is due to the cold poison in his body. up.

He was greatly graciously saved by Zhang Wuzhang, without any further hesitation, he responded, "I'll go with my little brother!" After he finished speaking, he felt a pause, and then said, "Since we want to swim with our arms, brother Yiwei It's boring to come and go, how old am I, if you don't mind me, how about I call you 'Dear Brother'?"

This address made Zhang Wuzhang look a little subtle, but he could blame his parents for giving him a bad name. He was naturally happy to have a good relationship with the future successor of the Nine Swords, and immediately replied: "Brother Chong!"

The two were sour with each other for a while, they looked at each other and smiled, without any further delay, Zhang Wuzhang rolled up the blanket and headed towards the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

Passing by the mighty cold pool of the waterfall, Linghu Chong couldn't help but stop and said: "This place is a wonderful sight, but it's a pity that you and I don't have enough internal strength, so we can't go inside to find out."

"Speaking of which," Zhang Wuzhang asked, "Brother Chong, you are a disciple of Huashan Qi Sect, how about..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, Linghu Chong also understood that what he wanted to ask was "the internal strength is so weak that even the mountain wind can't withstand it", he said with a smile: "Our sect's "Zixia Divine Art" is naturally superior internal strength, but my cultivation base It is still shallow, so I have no chance to learn it. My master said that with my martial arts advancement, it will take at least ten years before he can consider imparting this skill to me."

He has [-]% trust and reverence for Yue Buqun. Although "Zixia Divine Art" is the treasure of the Huashan School, he didn't have the slightest intention of spying on it. Brother, what did you just say about 'Huashan Qizong'?"

The Huashan sect fought with each other with sword qi, and the tragedy of internal strife and massacre in this sect has been going on for more than [-] years. After the Qi sect took over the Huashan master position, they kept it secret. Even Linghu Chong was the head disciple, and he never heard about it.

After Linghu Chong finished speaking, he saw Zhang Wuzhang looked at him with a strange smile, but walked forward without answering.

Without such a thing, I deliberately leaked a few words to make people's hearts itch, and I asked you to say it but you didn't say it.Linghu Chong hastily rushed forward in three steps at a time, and said with a smile, "Dear brother, although we have known each other for a short time, I saved your life, and you saved mine in turn. We are absolutely in love with each other." , A good brother who was born and died, what else is there to say?"

"I've only heard people say that it's about the internal affairs of the Huashan faction. You might as well ask the head of Yue. It's just that you have to wait for Xia Ning's birthday, so don't spoil their mood for celebrating their birthday." Zhang Wuzhang replied.

He bluntly said that it was not a good thing, so Linghu Chong slowed down, and said after a long time: "The main hall of my Huashan School is called 'Zhengqi Hall'. When I was young, I heard that the old servant who cleaned the house said that these few people were not on the plaque before." Character……"

When he first came to Mount Hua when he was young, he was mischievous and escaped, but he was the only formal disciple in the sect, and the rest of the registered disciples were either too old or did not dare to make friends with him because of their status. .

That old servant is long gone now, and Linghu Chong still felt a little sad when he said it: "She is illiterate, she only said that the plaque was changed, but she couldn't tell what was written before it was changed, but she could count it clearly. It's not convenient to disclose it, but can you tell me which four words it is?"

At this moment, it's fine if you don't think about it. At first hearing that there are many secrets involved, how can Linghu Chong hold back, he immediately wanted to find out.

Zhang Wuzhang sighed, and said softly: "The sword energy soars to the sky."

After hearing this, Linghu Chong was speechless for a while, and after walking a certain distance from the boss, Fang said: "We are Qizong, so the corresponding is Jianzong?" At this point, he remembered something again, "What did you say in Wu earlier? I have met the old man of Huashan School, is it the old man of Jianzong?"

Zhang Wuzhang didn't intend to answer, and said with a smile: "Going forward, you will pass the steep mountain, and you can speed up and run."

Linghu Chong was really scratching his head and scratching his head with curiosity. The appearance of Huashan School changed from "Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky" to "Righteous Qi Hall".

He lived up to Zhang Wuzhang's expectations, and made up a lot of dramas with thousands of twists and turns in his brain. He rolled his eyes and suggested, "Brother Zha, how about we have a round of competition? From here to Songzhou Town at the foot of the mountain, if I first When you arrive, you will tell me? If you arrive first, Linghu Chong promises you one thing, whenever you need it, just come to me."

In terms of lightness kung fu, Linghu Chong thinks he is not as good as it is, whoever makes the journey boring, can come to a game to adjust and adjust.If he wins by luck, everything will be fine, if he loses, it's okay, just use this to repay the kindness of saving his life.

Zhang Wuzhang glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You have also saved my life. I will only pay the debt if I save you once. We have already settled the debt, and you don't need to pay it again."

He could see through his plan at a glance, Linghu Chong was quite happy that the two of them had such a good understanding, blinked and said: "Since you think you don't need me to owe you, just run a little slower and let me arrive first, wouldn't it be good?"

He originally thought that he was secretly complacent by making a conversation around the other party once, but unexpectedly, just as he started talking, Zhang Wuzhang jumped up, with the wind blowing under his feet, he had already run away in a hurry.

Linghu Chong froze in place for a moment, unexpectedly the person who said to him in a serious manner "I don't want to win you" in the last second would run away as a rascal in the next second. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly chased after him: "That little thief, stop!"

——————————————————————————————————————

Linghu Chong squatted beside the fire, slowly eating dry food.His face was disheartened, but his eyes rolled around, not knowing what bad idea he was thinking.

As soon as Zhang Wuzhang approached, he smiled and said: "We have come all the way from Tianshan Mountain to Changbai Mountain, you have lost to me no less than ten times, the favors you owe me are too numerous to count, I will not compete with you again."

Linghu Chong smiled, wanted to say something, suddenly sucked his nose, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and sighed: "It smells so good! It smells so good!"

Zhang Wuzhang snorted, and threw the wine gourd tied around his waist to him: "Here, I went to the town to buy good wine."

Linghu Chong took the wine gourd, showing a moved expression: "So you threw me here to use up a favor and didn't let me go with you. You went to buy wine for me?"

No, I'm here to give instructions to the members of the Skyhawk Sect.Zhang Wuzhang didn't make a sound, sat down next to him, rubbed his palms together, and said: "Tomorrow we will arrive at Changbai Mountain."

Linghu Chong opened the bottle cap, took a long sip, and said: "The fire toad only appears in the twelfth lunar month of the year, and it's not yet the twelfth lunar month. Could it be that the great monk is also in Changbai Mountain?" Calabash pushed towards Zhang Wuzhang.

Zhang Wuzhang waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, at this time of the year, you can't care less about lying in the ravine."

What Linghu Chong wanted to ask, he reckoned that he must have asked Tianying to cause trouble for the Wusan people, so given his own status, he naturally couldn't say much, he just said: "That's fine."

They got up early the next day and stepped into Changbai Mountain. Linghu Chong said: "Tianshan has a waterfall that flows all the year round. Changbai Mountain also has a very famous waterfall, but it has stopped flowing at this time. I broke through there. Unbelievably good."

"Huo Toad has the word 'fire' in its name, and it can cure cold poison. Why do you want to live in a place near a snow-capped mountain?" Zhang Wuzhang asked.

Linghu Chong pondered for a while: "That day, the Huo Toad I saw was only half the size of an adult's palm. It was red all over, and the red belly was even brighter. It's a pity that I didn't take a closer look at its appearance before I saw it jump into the snow. It's gone down."

Zhang Wuzhang said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's because of the scorching heat in its body that it needs to rely on snow water to cool down, and it also likes to hide in cold places."

The two of them kept talking, turned around a mountain depression, and saw blood on the trail, seven or eight corpses lying here and there, bitten to pieces by unknown beasts, a lynx lying down to eat, and Let them startle away.

Linghu Chong stepped forward to take a look, and could vaguely tell that they were wearing ordinary cotton-padded clothes, and there were a few bamboo baskets thrown by the roadside, and most of the things in them were searched away, leaving some worthless small wild ginseng , Ganoderma lucidum, etc.

He was furious, and immediately pulled out his saber: "Who is so vicious that even these ordinary ginseng collectors are not spared?"

Zhang Wuzhang knelt down to examine carefully, seeing that these people were all killed by sharp weapons, he said: "It seems that it is the work of martial arts people, although the corpses are not decomposed, but in this kind of weather, they are not dead. It’s easy to say when he was killed.”

Linghu Chong's first thought was that the Mingjiao Wusanren could not say anything, but he shook his head immediately and said: "No, that man is empty-handed and does not carry a weapon, not to mention that he didn't even kill me, a disciple of the Five Sacred Mountains, so he shouldn't treat these people Do it."

Judging from the shape of the wound, there are at least four different weapons. Zhang Wuzhang said: "From the direction of their fall and wounds, these ginseng collectors came down from the mountain and encountered a group of bandits going up the mountain. .”

It is common for martial arts people to fight, but they will not attack ordinary people in leisure time, even most cults don't bother to bully ordinary people.Linghu Chong frowned and said, "I came here a few days ago, but I didn't find any traces of people."

The two of them stopped talking immediately, so as not to be overheard, they just hurried on their way, walking for half a day, after turning over three hills, Zhang Wuzhang stopped, and glanced to the side: there are people.

Linghu Chong hadn't heard anything yet, but he knew that his inner strength was deep, so he stopped his feet.There was still heavy snow at this time, and the footprints were quickly covered, otherwise there was no need to be so blind.

Zhang Wuzhang listened carefully, and made a "six" sign, indicating that there were six people present, and after a short walk, he could finally see faint footprints on the snow.

He pointed to the front, still signifying "six", and then pointed to the ground, spreading out all ten fingers, first with the palm facing up, and then turning the back of the hand facing up.

Linghu Chong understood that there were only six people in front of him, but judging from the footprints, there were more than ten people in this group.

The two of them were secretly on guard, and the footprints became clearer and clearer as they walked. Linghu Chong originally counted 16 people, but soon his eyes showed horror, pointing to a shallow, almost unrecognizable footprint and Zhang Wuzhang tilted his head.

This footprint just appeared, the previous ones were completely covered by snow, obviously it is the one with the best lightness kung fu, probably the leader of this group of people.

I thought they were just bandits in the mountains, but people with this level of skill are definitely not idle people. They kill ginseng collectors, probably for the sake of silence, not for goods.

Zhang Wuzhang frowned, and wrote in the palm of Linghu Chong's hand: A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

He didn't agree to go deeper, this muddy water was not easy to flow.Linghu Chong was silent for a while, then looked at the footprints on the ground, knowing that it was his master Yue Buqun who came here, so he nodded.

In front was an area surrounded by this group of people, and six people were specially left guarding it to prevent people from disturbing them.The two stepped back for a distance, before Linghu Chong said softly, "Are they also here for the Fire Toad?" The circled area is very close to the waterfall.

Zhang Wuzhang shook his head and said: "Huo Chan is easy to be frightened and flees, you need to be careful in luring him, if it's for Huo Chan, only one leader is enough, why bring more than ten men to add to the chaos?"

He did have a guess: "It's fine for these people to kill the ginseng pickers and silence them, why do they need to empty their back baskets?"

Linghu Chong's heart moved, and he continued, "Do you suspect that they came here to gather ginseng and treasures?" But to say that picking some Ganoderma lucidum and wild ginseng requires the use of such a top-notch expert, it's hard to win people's trust Well, Linghu Chong came here to pick Ganoderma lucidum, he came here in person to wish his wife a birthday and to express his heart.

"Ganoderma lucidum is rare, and high-quality ones are even more rare. They are not ganoderma, but other rare treasures, which are hard to find in the market. If they need a lot, they have to pick them themselves." Zhang Wuzhang said.

Linghu Chong felt quite reasonable, and replied: "Yes, and they have a lot of use for this thing, so they sent a heavyweight to follow."

When he thought of the No. 17 footprints, he felt apprehensive, and couldn't help but said: "This man is so strong in martial arts, but he is also bloodthirsty. I'm afraid he is a cult veteran."

Zhang Wuzhang can't remember any other scenes related to Changbai Mountain in the original book besides Huo Chan. The main ones are from the Ming Sect, the Sun Moon God Sect, and the Western Demon Sect. There are too many bad guys. Who should be blamed for this pot.

He was still pondering, when he heard Linghu Chong say: "I heard that Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Demon Cult, is like a ghost, and everyone's face changes when they hear it."

Just as Kongtong and other sects first thought of Mingjiao when they saw a bad guy, Linghu Chong felt that the most suspicious person was the Sun Moon Sect.

Zhang Wuzhang said with a smile: "In terms of lightness kung fu, that person is at the top level in Jianghu, even my uncle is slightly inferior, but I'm afraid he can't compare with my grandfather, let alone compare with the Eastern leader." Silly boy, don't think about it, if Dongfang Bubai were here, we would have been killed just now.

Linghu Chong heard that even he thought Chen Baimei Eagle King could not match Dongfang Bubai, so it can be seen that Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are so high, no matter the good or the evil, they are all recognized as the best in the world.

Just thinking of the few ginseng pickers who died tragically, he couldn't help sighing: "Is it the only way to slip away like this?"

Zhang Wuzhang rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Why, let's work together to attract the unspeakable, and see who can beat the other?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly, and he glanced towards the waterfall: "It's bad, if this group of people really need a lot of rare treasures, I'm afraid they will have to seal the mountain for a few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch Huo Toad this year."

"Brother Fear, you have hated the Five Scatterers of the Ming Sect because of me. I can't owe you this favor. If it doesn't work this year, we will come back next year." Linghu Chong said seriously, "Linghu Chong knows that his martial arts are low, so he should work hard to practice martial arts. See you next year." I will never drag you down."

Zhang Wuzhang said with a smile: "They can only have 20 people at most, how big the area can be sealed off the mountain, not to mention if it is not unlucky to meet that leader, let's bypass this mountain and go up."

The two of them were in the same mind, and people were scared away before they touched it, and they were really aggrieved.When Linghu Chong heard this, his eyes lit up: "That's good. If it's a coincidence, killing one or two of them will make a lot of money."

The two of them gathered together for a while, then changed directions, climbed up the mountain from the other side, and climbed all the way to Tianchi, the highest peak of Changbai Mountain.

The Tianchi Lake is surrounded by sixteen peaks. Only when a pool overflows between Guanri Peak and Tianhuo Peak and flows through the nearly 2000-meter Chengcha River, Changbai Waterfall, where fire toads appear, forms.

They walked along the way, but Linghu Chong picked two excellent-quality Longzhi and a red lucidum, but at this time, the Ganoderma was not in his eyes, and he kept looking at the bottom of Tianchi: "Brother, you It is said that there are fire toads in the middle and lower reaches, does this mean that this is where the fire toads gather?"

"Maybe he went to Changbai Mountain a few times for Wei Yixiao, I think he must have come to Tianchi to look for him a long time ago." Zhang Wuzhang replied.

Originally the possibility of finding Huo Chan was extremely low, he didn't hold out hope at all, he was just looking for an excuse not to sit in Tianshan meditation, but he heard Linghu Chong say: "It's impossible to say that even if I came here, I just searched nearby. You have practiced strange skills and are not afraid of the severe cold, why don't you dive into the bottom of the pool and find out?"

Along the way, the two of them talked about everything, but Linghu Chong didn't even mention why Zhang Wuzhang's kung fu has improved so rapidly in the past few years, so as not to offend other people's taboos.
