The rivers and lakes are full of local tyrants

Although martial arts practitioners definitely had no reason to let the sword leave their body, Qin Shaoyu also knew the seriousness of the matter, and after nodding his head in agreement, he turned around and left the house.

Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin looked at each other with worry on their brows.

Although there are many weapons in the world, there are very few demon swords. They are generally controlled by demonic people, who willfully and recklessly create countless killing karma, and in the end they all end up dead without a place to die.Even if one is a well-known and righteous one, if one does not have enough concentration, one may be swallowed by sword energy at any time, so people in the Jianghu seldom use such ominous things as weapons.

"It's been fine for more than ten years, why can't you suddenly start to suppress the demonic nature of the Scarlet Shadow Sword?" Shen Qianfeng frowned, "As time goes by, Shaoyu's internal strength will only become stronger and stronger, logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this Yes. If it is said that it is caused by inner demons, if it is replaced by his supercilious temperament a few years ago, I would still believe that he would fall into the devil's way, but now that Ling'er is here, his character has become more restrained and calm. affected?"

"I can't figure it out either." Ye Jin shook her head, "It's a pity that I didn't bring many books with me when I came out, so I couldn't find it even if I wanted to."

Shen Qianfeng sighed, "I just hope nothing happens."

"I'll prescribe some calming medicine for him." Ye Jin patted his chest, "Don't be too anxious, the matter is not serious now, just be careful not to use the Scarlet Shadow Sword again."

"The Scarlet Shadow Sword has already been half of Shaoyu's life, and now it's a critical moment. It's not easy for him to give up his weapon." Shen Qianfeng looked out the door, with worry on his brows.

Shen Qianling was sitting on a small stool, watching Little Phoenix and Xueyuan Wolf having breakfast.

"Ling'er." Qin Shaoyu stepped into the yard.

"The discussion is over so quickly?" Shen Qianling was a little surprised, stood up and said, "I thought it would be noon again."

"It's not a big deal." Qin Shaoyu helped him cover his warm hands, and lowered his head to kiss him by the way.

"Then what's the next plan?" Shen Qianling asked again.

"Don't care about him." Qin Shaoyu hugged him into his arms.

Shen Qianling was at a loss, what does it mean to ignore him, then what are we doing here.

"Is it okay not to mention these things?" Qin Shaoyu whispered in his ear, "I don't want to hear it."

"...Hmm." Thinking that he was irritable and clueless, Shen Qianling wisely didn't ask any more questions, and tentatively said, "Why don't we go out for a walk? Let's just treat it as a relaxation." Even though it was snowing outside, it was better than being bored in the small room courtyard.

Qin Shaoyu nodded, and walked out the door hand in hand with him.

The street had long been buried in snow, and Shen Qianling jumped ahead, leaving two symmetrical footprints.

Qin Shaoyu followed behind, seeing his childish behavior, his mood improved, and he suddenly caught up with him and hugged him horizontally.

Shen Qianling laughed while struggling, and the two of them fought and fought, looking very carefree.

The secret guard sat on the roof and watched his palace lord and wife go all the way away, his eyes were full of smiles, and his worries from last night seemed to be less.

Maybe it's not that bad...

"I surrender!" The two quarreled in a snow field, and Shen Qianling squatted in the snow playing tricks, laughing until tears came out.

Qin Shaoyu sat beside him and kissed him hard.

"Tired." Shen Qianling was out of breath.

"You are not allowed to sit in the snow." Qin Shaoyu hugged the person on his lap and said seriously, "Otherwise it will freeze your butt."

Shen Qianling: ...

rogue.

Although it is a world of ice and snow, it is still warm and sunny.It shone brightly on the snow.

"Let's build a snowman." Shen Qianling turned to look at him.

Qin Shaoyu said, "Things for children to play with."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do." Shen Qianling pulled him to stand up, "You can pretend that I am three years old."

Qin Shaoyu laughed, "Three-year-olds are all bare buttocks, let me take them off first."

Shen Qianling looks at this man with an extremely embarrassing and energetic look, can you stop thinking about this kind of thing all the time, it's very distasteful!

Although he was not interested in such children's activities, since Shen Qianling proposed it, Qin Shaoyu would naturally not refuse.So as he said, he worked hard in the snow and rolled snowballs.

"Put it here!" Shen Qianling commanded.

Qin Shaoyu put the small snowball on the big snowball.

Surrounded by ice and snow, it is impossible to find some stones for eyes.Shen Qianling was also a little tired, so he said very irresponsibly, "Okay, let's do it this way, let's have a look." At least it's very post-modern!

Looking at the two strange-shaped snow bumps in front of him, Qin Shaoyu smiled and said, "I just said it was you and me."

"It's me and you now!" Shen Qianling grabbed his cheek and said domineeringly, "How dare you say it doesn't look like it?"

"Let's go." Qin Shaoyu scratched his nose, "I'll carry you back, we'll get some rocks and come back, and take my son and Snow Wolf along with me."

also good.Shen Xiaoshou smiled, lazily lay on his man's back, leaned over and kissed his face, "You are so kind."

"Just saying three words is enough?" Qin Shaoyu walked forward in the snow.

Shen Qianling said solemnly, "Whenever I win the first prize, I will write a long poem for you!"

Qin Shaoyu was amused, and originally wanted to turn around and kiss him, but he saw something strange from the corner of his eye.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qianling tugged at his hair.

Qin Shaoyu put him down, and walked over slowly hand in hand.

On the ice that should have been flat, there were countless twisted marks for no reason, as if a giant python had crawled over it, scattered and spread far away.

"What is this?" Shen Qianling was surprised.

Qin Shaoyu pulled him to squat down, looked at the marks carefully, and said, "It's just left in the past two days."

"Python?" Shen Qianling's scalp was numb. Ever since a snake fell on his arm while taking a bath, he was most afraid of this sticky, slippery and disgusting thing.

"It looks like it, but it must not be an ordinary python, otherwise it would have gone to hibernation long ago." Qin Shaoyu said, "And there are far more than one."

Shen Qianling clenched his sleeves tightly, feeling a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid." Qin Shaoyu patted him, "Let's go back first."

"Aren't you going to go in and find out?" Shen Qianling asked.

"It depends, but not now." Qin Shaoyu hugged him, "I will come with Liancheng Guyue."

Shen Qianling nodded, and put her arms around his neck obediently—although she really wanted to advance and retreat with him, but at a time like this, it's obviously better not to make trouble.

Suddenly there was the sound of rustling water under his feet, Qin Shaoyu became vigilant and glanced back.

The ice surface is slowly cracking, revealing a dark pool of water underneath.

Shen Qianling was also surprised when she saw it. She thought it was the ground before, but now it seems that there is a lake under their feet?

"Let's go!" Knowing something was wrong, Qin Shaoyu hugged him and fled in the opposite direction.

Shen Qianling lay on his shoulders, watching the gap burst open, and then a giant white python rose into the sky, with green eyes like ghosts, a cyan film around its head, and a ferocious mouth with its mouth wide open.

"Be careful!" Shen Qianling screamed with wide eyes.Qin Shaoyu reacted so quickly, he hugged him tightly with one hand and jumped up, stepping across the ice with the dexterity of a cheetah, and landed in the distance.

The giant white python flew into the air, and its huge body hit the ice heavily, shaking open more cracks.The ice drifted around, and more and more giant pythons crawled out from the gap, staring at the two of them.

Shen Qianling's face turned pale, and she felt as if she was in a doomsday movie.

With no weapon in his hand and Shen Qianling in his arms, Qin Shaoyu would not be so stupid as to face such a huge group of pythons head-on, so he ran in the opposite direction while holding him.The giant python hissed and chased after him, its slippery body leaving trails on the ice, almost without any resistance, and the speed was as fast as lightning, even almost chasing the two of them several times.

Not daring to bring the python group back to his residence, Qin Shaoyu quickened his pace and threw a signal flare for communication into the sky.

Everyone in the house was shocked when they saw it—according to Qin Shaoyu's character, if the situation was not urgent, he would never ask for help, so they took up weapons and rushed over, but they were all shocked by the scene in front of them .

Hundreds of boa constrictors with thick bowl mouths were chasing the two of them, and they were still spitting out mucus. The originally cold air was now full of fishy smell, which was disgusting.

"What the hell is this!" Ye Jin was surprised.

"Just kill him!" Liancheng Guyue drew his sword out of its sheath and jumped forward to attack.

With everyone joining in, Qin Shaoyu was much more relaxed.Shen Qianfeng threw him a saber casually. Although it was far less smooth than the Chiying Sword, he still had a weapon. After cutting off the two pythons, Qin Shaoyu hugged Shen Qianling and landed in a safe place, "Are you injured?"

"No." Shen Qianling shook her head, clearly still in shock.

"Close your eyes if you're afraid." Qin Shaoyu said.

"Where's your son?" Shen Qianling looked around.

"Chirp!" Fuqiu squatted on the head of the snowfield wolf, and the little black bean eyes were majestic, and he was fighting against the python group with it.

Probably because they were in awe of the phoenix, the group of pythons didn't seem to get too close to these two spirit beasts, they only resisted when they were bitten.A boa constrictor hissed and wanted to sneak up on the hidden guard in front of him. When the hairball saw it, he jumped up viciously. He rushed over like a cannonball, and swung his small claws vigorously in the air. , so painful that he almost lost consciousness, fell heavily on the snow and rolled.The snowfield wolf leaped over like lightning, and caught the little phoenix that fell from the sky on its back.

"Chirp!" Furball dazed with some blood on his hair and shook his head domineeringly.

Although compared with the crowd, the python's combat effectiveness is not considered strong, but it can't hold back and knock down one group after another. The white python corpse twists and struggles on the ice, and will soon be scrambled by the subsequent companions for food, and the ice surface is stained with blood. Cheng was flushed red, and the air was filled with bloody smell, but there were still boa constrictors pouring out continuously.The strong wind howled, and countless red snows were raised between the sky and the earth. Under the gloomy sunlight, it was like the end of the world.

"Withdraw!" Shen Qianfeng roared angrily.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there are so many boa constrictors under this ice field, and probably because they have been isolated under the ice for a long time, all of them have white pupils and bright red fangs. Looks like it's from hell.

It is definitely not a good plan to fight for a long time, even if all the pythons here are killed, it will not be beneficial to everyone.So after repelling a new round of snakes, a group of people rushed to the residence to pack up the food and grass, while the other group stayed to resist the snakes, until a signal bomb exploded in the distant sky, and then fought and retreated all the way And will.

Like puppets that could never be killed, the pythons continued to chase after them on the ice, even if they were injured, they would not stop, dragging out bright red marks one after another in the snow.

Shen Qianling felt palpitations watching, and tightly grasped Qin Shaoyu's clothes.

"Be good, don't be afraid." Sensing his nervousness, Qin Shaoyu comforted him softly.

"Well, I'm not afraid, you have to be careful." Shen Qianling helped him wipe off a little blood on his face.

"Young Master." The Riyue Villa's hidden guard stepped forward from a distance.

"Why are there only so few things?" Shen Qianfeng's expression changed.

"A herd of pythons also entered the house. When we rushed there, only these things were left." The guard of Sun Moon Villa said, "The horses driving the carriage were also eaten, and only a few spirit horses escaped by themselves."

"And this." Another hidden guard raised a sword with both hands, "Palace Master Qin's saber was almost swallowed by the pythons."

Qin Shaoyu hesitated for a moment.

Shen Qianfeng frowned, and was about to speak out to dissuade him, but the hoarse roar of the Shadow Chasing Palace's dark guards came from a distance, "Hurry up, we're going to be unable to stop it!"

Qin Shaoyu's face darkened, and he reached out to pick up his sword decisively - the Red Shadow Sword was obviously more useful against this kind of ice monster, and Shen Qianfeng or Liancheng Guyue couldn't compare to him in this regard.The situation is critical, and there is no room for further consideration.

"Shaoyu!" Ye Jin frowned.

"Retreat first, help me take care of Ling'er." Qin Shaoyu pushed the person to Shen Qianfeng, and flew to the other side by himself.

Shen Qianling's heart hung in her throat, and her brows were tightly knit together.

In the dry forest not far away, the python group and the hidden guards were still fighting, Qin Shaoyu ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone retreat!"

The hidden guard was already exhausted, his eyes were full of big-mouthed pythons, it seemed that he would never be able to kill them all, so he could only rely on his instinct to slash and kill them. At this time, seeing his palace lord, he suddenly gained strength.

"Retreat!" Qin Shaoyu gave another order.

"Yes!" The dark guards put away their weapons and jumped out of the battle circle one after another.

Naturally, the group of pythons would not let it go, clamoring and tumbling to catch up.Qin Shaoyu's eyes were cold, and his right hand slowly clenched the hilt of his sword.The zhenqi in the body condensed, the red shadow sword also slowly turned blood red, and the palm of the hand was burning like a raging fire.

The surrounding snow was melting little by little. At the moment when the snakes rushed up, Qin Shaoyu jumped up suddenly, and the red shadow sword drew a blood-red light blade in the air. In an instant, the earth trembled and roared, as if countless gunpowder were ignited, and the python was shocked. In the middle of the air, they were torn into pieces one after another, spraying out countless blood mist.

Even the dark guard, who has been through life and death countless times, feels a little palpitating upon seeing this.

"Let's go!" Before the snakes could react, Qin Shaoyu ran to the other side with his people.Although the snake continued to chase up, its momentum was not as good as before, and after being slashed for two more rounds, its speed was much slower.Ta Xuebai, Lv Congyu and Bu Jingxing of Liancheng Guyue galloped on the snowy field together in a carriage, the snowfield wolf followed closely behind with the fur ball, and the rest of them also set up light skills and galloped away, finally throwing the snakes far away .

But a new problem also appeared, that is... getting lost.

Although getting lost in the snowy field is not a trivial matter, everyone has no intention of thinking about it.After experiencing the life-and-death situation just now, they fled for nearly two hours. Both men and horses were exhausted. The three war horses lay panting in the snow, and the rest of them sat on the ground one after another, covered in sweat.

Qin Shaoyu's face was a little pale, and he was sitting on the side with his eyes closed to adjust his breath.Shen Qianling guarded him beside him, without blinking his eyes.

"Shaoyu is fine." Ye Jin said, "Don't worry."

Shen Qianling nodded, but his brows never relaxed. He didn't rush to help him up until he opened his eyes, "Are you all right?"

"Of course I'm fine." Qin Shaoyu smiled, "It's a bit too energy-intensive, just rest for a while."

"Won't you catch up again?" The dark guard was terrified.

"There's land underneath, so it shouldn't be." Ye Jin shook her head.

"Has Young Master Liancheng seen such a python before?" Shen Qianfeng asked.

Liancheng Guyue shook her head, "Never."

"Yanjin Town was bought by Zhou Jue for nothing more than the past few years. Previously, the villagers lived here for generations. It is impossible that the giant python has never appeared." Ye Jin said, "What's more, even the house has been attacked today."

"So there is only one possibility." Qin Shaoyu deduced along, "These giant pythons were only put into the lake near Yanjin Town in recent years. It is by no means a natural phenomenon, but someone did it deliberately."

Although it was not specified who it was, everyone present knew that only one person would do such a thing.

"It's just hateful." Ye Jin felt a little annoyed.I have fought many battles, and this is the first time I have seen such an opponent. I hide in the ice and snow and refuse to come out, and my methods are worse than anyone else.

"If Zhou Jue really raised them, it shouldn't be aimed at us." After all, everyone's plan to live in Yanjin Town was a temporary decision.Shen Qianfeng said, "Nine times out of ten, it's because I'm afraid that the emperor will order an attack on Xueyuan in the future, so I made preparations in advance."

"In this way, we have smashed another round of his conspiracy." Shen Qianling said, "Then what should we do next?"

"Let's go back to Changbai Snow Mountain first." Liancheng Guyue said, "It's only a distance of more than ten days. Now that everything is lost, I won't be able to survive in the snowfield."

When the pythons raided the house before, it was probably because Ye Jin's room smelled of medicine, so they didn't go in, so they were able to save some food and bedding. The most important thing is that all the medicine boxes were intact, which is considered a blessing in misfortune .Adding some food and grass snatched from the python's mouth by the hidden guards, after counting them together, Shen Qianling did the math, and then said, "It's only enough for everyone to eat for five days." But there is at least ten days' distance between here and Changbai Mountain .

"If you save some money, there shouldn't be a big problem." Ye Jin said, "It's the only way to do it if the conditions are tough, but the most urgent thing is how to find the way."

The compass has disappeared, and there is no sun in the sky, so it is difficult to discern the direction.

Fortunately, Liancheng Guyue was there. After observing the snow for a while, they quickly judged the north, south, east, and west according to the traces of the wind. Everyone gathered up their things and headed towards Changbai Mountain.

Time is too precious to be wasted, and there is no time to heal all the wounded before leaving.Ye Jin could only sit in the carriage and let the injured hidden guards come in to bandage one by one. Shen Qianling sat on the side to help, and it took more than an hour to treat everyone's wounds.

"Fortunately, everyone's injuries are not serious." Shen Qianling breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Jin smiled, but was a little worried about Qin Shaoyu.

Although he didn't witness it with his own eyes when he was fighting against the python group, but judging by the swaying posture at that time, it was enough to judge that he had used [-]% of his internal strength. With his internal strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to turn pale after just a few moves.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qianling shook her hands in front of him, "Suddenly stopped talking."

"It's nothing." Ye Jin recovered, "I'm thinking about the python group."

"Think about what it does, be cautious." Shen Qianling helped one side of the fur ball cover the quilt—because he was too involved in the previous battle, he was a little sleepy now, and he was sleeping with his belly spread out.

Ye Jin rubbed her fingers, "I don't see it, it's still useful at critical moments."

Shen Qianling said from the bottom of his heart, "I didn't expect that either." He thought he would always be just a hairy ball, but he didn't expect to have some abilities.

"To be feared by all beasts, you can't just rely on two tweets." Ye Jin said, "The phoenix is ​​a fierce bird in ancient times, and it will become even more fierce when it grows up."

Shen Qianling smiled and lay down on the table to look at his son.

Maoqiu dreamed of being bullied by her elder brother, so she was wronged and tweeted, curled up into a small ball and hid herself under the quilt.

When will you grow up.

Really annoying.

The carriage traveled all the way and arrived at a dry forest at dusk.Although food supplies were still not available, some dry firewood could be found to keep out the cold. After the raging fire was lit, everyone felt warmer.

Everyone sat around the fire, set up an iron pot to cook some porridge and rice, and baked a lot of bread.The snowfield wolf king is used to living in a world of ice and snow. If he can't find any prey, it's common for him to go without food for ten days and a half a month. Therefore, he is lying down in the snow and taking a nap, leaving the little food for the rest of the people. .

Fortunately, the dark guard is used to carrying beef jerky and melon seeds with him on weekdays, so Little Phoenix can't go hungry.After this kind of thing happened, naturally no one was in the mood to tease it again.Fuqiu dragged the paper bag and strenuously walked to the front of the snowfield wolf, raised his head and chirped.

The snowfield wolf lowered its head and rubbed against it, helping to bite the paper bag open.

"Chirp!" Fuqiu continued to call.

The snowfield wolf wagged its tail, signaling it to eat by itself.

"Jiujiu!" The little black bean eyes of Fuqiu are determined.

The snowfield wolf still didn't open its mouth.

The furball twisted and twisted, ran to curl up under the tree angrily, and pointed its butt at it.

Snowfield Wolf was a little helpless, and walked over with beef jerky in his mouth.

The furball is motionless and very principled.

Snowfield Wolf gently picked it up and put it next to the beef.

Fuqiu was angry and ran a few steps in the opposite direction, and the little claw quickly dug through the snowdrift and buried himself in it.

Snowfield Wolf compromised and ate a small piece of beef with his head down.

"Chirp!" Fuqiu sneaked out one eye to look at it.

In the light of the bonfire in the distance, the snowy wolf's pupils were like black jade, and his expression was not like the king of wolves, but like a docile big dog.

The fur ball fluttered out of the snow, squatting obediently in front of it to eat.

Faced with this small fur ball, which was not as big as his own front paw, the wolf king naturally would not fight it for food, but only took a few symbolic bites, and after watching it was full, he picked it up and returned to the campfire.

The furball yawned lazily, and fell asleep on top of it.

The dry wood kept breaking and cracking in the fire, making a crackling sound.Everyone sat around with their swords in their arms, and spent the most silent night since they set off.

Liancheng Guyue looked up at the sky, her brows were tightly knit together.

Looking at it like this, I'm afraid there will be another blizzard tomorrow...
