The whole world is waiting for the devil to break up

The two picked some fresh peaches and brought them with them, then prepared to leave the valley.Li Zhi also asked Li Zhi to wrap up the poisonous book, because he felt that since Xiao Han was buried for Chu Qianli and his wife, these things should naturally be Xiao Han's last words as Mrs. Chu Qianli's, even if he didn't use it. , that is what he deserves.

However, Xiao Han can't touch this Poison Sutra at the moment. Li Zhi will keep it on his behalf. After returning home, someone will dispose of the poison in the box, and then hand it over to Xiao Han.

Hearing what Li Zhi said, Xiao Han had no choice but to accept it happily, wrapped up the peaches and left with Li Zhi. The two monkeys were sent all the way to Taniguchi.

Standing under the warm and bright sun outside the valley, the two turned their heads to look at the end of the peach forest in Taniguchi.

Xiao Han clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "Following here,? Is this reluctant to let us go? It's quite human, why don't we take them and go together?"

Li Zhi carried the jade box wrapped in green cloth on his back, gave him a sideways glance, and left.

Xiao Han actually saw that this meant letting him do whatever he wanted, but after thinking about it, he still smiled and waved to the two monkeys, one big and one small, who were squatting at the valley entrance watching them, and then turned and left.

Out of this valley, there is an endless strange stone forest under the rocky mountain cliff outside. It is not easy for them to find the exit.

Xiao Han regretted being separated from the monkey who had been with him all night and played together all morning. He was not sure if he would come back next time.Xiao Han thought for a while, then quickly caught up with the tall and thin man in Tsing Yi in front of him.

Li Zhi rested overnight, and his spirit has recovered a lot, but his physical strength is still a little weak, his complexion is a bit pale, and under the sunlight, the navy blue blood under his skin is clearly displayed.

It looks extremely fragile.

Xiao Han stared at his pale side face for a while, then gently held Li Zhi's right hand hanging by his side, and when he turned his head, he smiled and said, "I'll support you."

Li Zhi wanted to say no, but under Xiao Han's earnest and distressed gaze, he suppressed the words and nodded silently, thinking that it wasn't that he was soft-hearted, but that Xiao Han didn't intend to ask his opinion.

According to Li Zhi's familiarity with the local terrain, the two headed to the northwest, where the terrain is a little more open, and they should be able to find a way out before nightfall-in fact, if they turn back according to the original road, it is indeed advisable to choose to climb up from the cliff. The fastest way, but the cliff is too high, even Li Zhi, who ranks among the top ten in Jianghu, does not have the confidence to lead people up the steep cliff tens of feet high, so this way can only be given up.

The two of them took advantage of the early morning sun to find out their direction, took about a cup of tea time, and were far away from that remote valley. They accidentally bumped back to the cliff where they fell yesterday.

Xiao Han recognized it at a glance, and pointed to a hole in the corner of the nearly flat mountain wall above, "The small cave we stayed in yesterday."

Li Zhi visually estimated that the small cave was fifteen or sixty feet high from the ground, and deduced that the level of the valley behind this mountain wall was higher than this side. Looking down the cliff, there was a cluster of sharp and irregular strange stone forests. Spreading away from here, we rarely see vegetation.

Suddenly, Li Zhi's eyes flickered.

"what is that?"

In the stone forest surrounded by strange rocks, a black thing disappeared in the dark without moving.

Xiao Han showed vigilance, reached out his hand to stop Li Zhi, and walked slowly by himself.

The distance was not far, only about twenty steps, Xiao Han arrived at the destination very quickly, as if he had discovered something, his expression was inexplicably relaxed.

Seeing Xiao Han squatting down there, not knowing what he was doing, Li Zhi also walked over, and when he approached, he found a bloody corpse, from the physical characteristics, it was still someone he knew, and his brows tightened.

"Yuan San."

The severed hand cut off from the wrist is obviously the best proof of the identity of the deceased.

Xiao Han was stretching out his hand to pull out the black-edged dagger stuck in the eyes of the corpse. He was kind-hearted and knew how to love monks. The person who wanted to kill him fell to such a state that his body was smashed to pieces, so naturally he would not pity him.

There were new and old bloodstains all over the dagger, Xiao Han could not bear it, and felt a little guilty, so he got up and tore off a piece of his clothes, and wiped the stains on the blade.

"It's a pity you gave me the sword."

Li Zhi didn't know why he treasured the seven-inch dagger he gave him so much, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, so he said casually: "Just find it."

Xiao Han took this as comfort from Li Zhi, and found that he did not blame himself for throwing away their tokens of love, and his worries disappeared.

Li Zhi waited for him to clean the dagger, looked at the black blade and the rough bamboo hilt gleaming in the sunlight, then looked at Xiao Han, and suddenly stretched out his hand to snatch the narrow dagger more than two feet long. come over.

Xiao Han's relaxed tone immediately raised his throat, and he said nervously: "What's wrong?" Could it be that Li Zhi is going to take back their token of love?

Li Zhi didn't answer, and buried his head in groping for the green bamboo hilt, with a serious expression on his face, his slender white fingers touched somewhere, and he dismantled the green bamboo round sword handle about two fingers thick.

Xiao Han stared blankly at the light and plain black iron dagger in Li Zhi's palm. After removing the decoration on the outside, the dagger was dark as a whole, but the simple but magnificent pattern on the hilt added a lot to the overall style. It looks unpretentious but quite mysterious.

Looking at it this way, it seems that this dagger can be used - so Li Zhi casually threw away the piece of green bamboo, and put the dagger back in Xiao Han's hand.

"Take it, anyway, he is a son of the world, the weapon on hand can't be too bad."

Realizing that Li Zhi was really thinking of him, and also really disliked him for using the green bamboo sword as a treasure, Xiao Han couldn't laugh or cry, so he nodded in agreement, and put away the seven-inch dagger with great care.

After retracting the seven inches, the two continued to set off and walked in the strange stone forest for half a day. They walked out of this huge stone forest when the sun was high and found the hillside path. They can be sure that they can go down the mountain before nightfall.

Xiao Han and Li Zhi rested on the spot for a while. According to their physical strength in the past, they should go down the mountain now, but now one of them is seriously injured and the other is seriously ill, which greatly affects their itinerary.

There was nothing to eat in this rocky mountain. Fortunately, they brought some peaches when they left the valley, which not only satisfied their hunger, but also quenched their thirst. After eating the peaches, the two of them sat side by side on the boulder on the hillside to recover their strength.

This place is surrounded by mountains, and this barren mountain with a radius of nearly a hundred miles, among which many pinnacles stand one after another, occupies most of their field of vision.Not far ahead of the hillside, there are several collapsed cliffs.

That was where yesterday's explosion affected. Seeing the broken mountain road, Li Zhi's eyes sank slightly, "I don't know if Yuantong is dead or not."

Xiao Han said without changing his face: "It must be dead, the cliff over there is much higher than the one we jumped, and there is still gun|powder."

Li Zhi smiled suddenly, but his eyes were extremely cold, "Yes, I almost forgot that no matter how high Yuantong's martial arts are, he can't do anything against gunpowder."

Xiao Han followed with a smile, and stuffed a peach into Li Zhi's hand, "Eat another one."

Li Zhi frowned, the chill and hatred in his eyes were replaced by harmless resistance at the same time, and he refused in a much gentler and almost shy tone: "No, I have eaten most of it just now, you eat."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed, and forgot what he said just now.He ate most of the dozen or so peaches they brought out, not because he had a big appetite, but because Xiao Han kept stuffing him with food along the way, and there were not many left after eating.

It was Xiao Han who always felt that he was hungry and that he was trying to hold on, so he proposed to carry him several times.

Li Zhi's physical strength was a little weak, but he didn't want Xiao Han's back that hurt his leg. If he knew yesterday, he wouldn't let Xiao Han carry him all the way.

Xiao Han looked at Li Zhi's face, after walking for half a day, Li Zhi's face became paler, but after resting for a while, and being exposed to the sun again, his complexion became much ruddy.Xiao Han felt relieved when he saw it, so he helped Li Zhi get up and prepare to go down the mountain.

At this moment, in the woods at the foot of the mountain, Madam Hu, who had finally escaped, also breathed a sigh of relief. Did not give up.

But after going down the mountain, Madam Hu didn't dare to relax completely. She knew that there were many people going up the mountain to help today, so she was afraid that they would run into them when she was leaving.

Therefore, Madam Hu walked extra cautiously and chose a quiet jungle path.

The clear sound of water flowing through the clear spring in the mountain echoed in the forest, probably coming from the mountain.

Mrs. Hu was avoiding a group of hidden guards, and came out of the forest by the stream, when she suddenly heard a rapid cough, her whole body was shaken, and she subconsciously hid behind a tree trunk, but she waited for a moment before the sound of footsteps, she hesitated for a moment , I couldn't bear the curiosity and walked out, tiptoeing towards the place where the sound was heard just now.

It was by a hidden stream in the forest. Madam Hu pushed aside a cluster of leaves, and vaguely saw a piece of white clothes floating behind the roots of the tree that had not crossed the stream...

On the empty and vast mountain, Li Zhi and Xiao Han helped each other down the mountain. There are strange rocks everywhere, piled up one after another, and there is basically no way.

Arriving at a low slope again, because the strange rock was quite high and almost perpendicular to the ground, Xiao Han had no choice but to jump down carefully before turning back to catch Li Zhi.

In fact, it is only half a zhang high, Li Zhi can go down by himself, his strength is not much, and it is not possible for him to be picked up by such a little height.But seeing Xiao Han still waiting for him below with open arms, thinking that Xiao Han had almost carried him all the way, Li Zhi simply stopped insisting and simply closed his eyes and jumped down.

The next moment, Li Zhi was really caught by Xiao Han, he paused for a while in the other's warm embrace, and let Xiao Han put him down.Seeing that his forehead was covered with sweat, Li Zhi subconsciously wiped it off with his sleeve.

Both of them were taken aback.

Li Zhi regretted it after wiping, but Xiao Han smiled happily and led the people forward. After walking for half a day, they finally saw the foot of the mountain.

There is a large slope ahead. Fortunately, there is a flat ground below, so it is easy to walk a lot.

Seeing that Xiao Han didn't say anything, Li Zhi's expression returned to normal, since he has no objections, it's fine.

"It seems that we have come out of the mountain." Xiao Han sighed down the foot of the mountain: "Going the right way."

Li Zhi raised his thin chin slightly, and let out a soft, barely audible snort.He chose the road, although it was a bit remote, but it was definitely right.

Now that he had seen the sparse forest at the foot of the mountain, and even had a glimpse of the surrounding mountains, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the sky.

I don't know if yesterday's explosion frightened the beasts in the mountains. There were several tall goshawks hovering in the air, and the sound of eagles went straight to the sky.

Xu Shi noticed that there were two more people on the empty hillside. One of the goshawks suddenly flew down and flew back and forth over the two of them, with wings that were half a foot long, whistling.The peeping of such a huge monster made Xiao Han hug Li Zhi in a hurry, "No way, you just escaped from the mountain and you are about to feed the eagle?"

Li Zhi is not afraid of goshawks, even though they look very small in comparison.On the back mountain of Fuyue Mountain, he also occasionally saw such a big eagle.

Seeing that the goshawk hovered above them at low altitude for a few weeks, then retracted its wings and landed not far away, staring at them coldly, but did not attack. Li Zhi already guessed that the other party had no malicious intentions towards them.

"I suddenly thought of someone."

Li Zhi was not sure, he broke himself out of Xiao Han's arms, and looked around.

But at this moment, the goshawk rolled its eyes and flew towards them suddenly!

Xiao Han didn't dare to underestimate the goshawk, and he didn't miss the opponent's similar attack. As soon as the hawk moved, he hugged Li Zhi and shouted: "Run!"

This scolding was close to Li Zhi's ear, which made his heart beat a little faster.

But no matter how fast Xiao Han reacted, he still couldn't run past the returning goshawk. He just turned around and took two steps while holding the man in his arms, when he was enveloped by a huge shadow.

He felt that the goshawk was approaching, and he was ready to be scratched or pecked by the sharp eagle's beak. He closed his eyes tightly, wrapped his arms around Li Zhi's shoulders, and held Li Zhi firmly in his arms.Immediately afterwards, Xiao Han's shoulders tightened suddenly, and he felt that something like pliers was being held tightly, and his heart really came!

However, in the next moment, his whole body was suspended in the air, and even the person in his arms was caught by the goshawk to the sky with him, and he couldn't help being shocked.

The feeling of the strong wind blowing on his face was uncomfortable. As soon as Xiao Han opened his eyes, he just looked down at the person who was hugged tightly in his arms, and didn't dare to look away—even so, he still caught a glimpse of the person below him out of the corner of his eye. Come to the smaller hillside and see the jagged rocks below.

Falling from here would at least save an arm from breaking a leg, Xiao Han immediately buried his head into Li Zhi's shoulder socket.

Li Zhi was also a little surprised, holding Xiao Han's clothes tightly without moving.

The goshawk flew towards the foot of the mountain, because it was not far away, but after a long time, the two of them who had just gotten used to the turbulence in the wind were put on a flat ground by the goshawk, and they were not injured at all when they landed.

It's not safe to say on the way, but at least, when Goshawk let them down, the height was only half a person.

At this distance, the two people who already had a foundation in martial arts reflexively landed steadily.

However, Li Zhi couldn't react for a while until he got down to earth, not to mention Xiao Han.

"Xiao Jiang! You really are not dead!"

The two of them were staring blankly at the direction in which the goshawk flapped its wings and flew away, when suddenly there was such a pleasantly familiar voice behind it.

Before Xiao Han could recover, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he looked back in surprise.

There are quite a few people on this flat ground, but they didn't notice it for a while, and they were all acquaintances.The three or five men in black wearing masks are obviously Xiao Han's hidden guards, and the people leading them will only be Yan Ba ​​Yan Jiu.

And the one who rushed over before everyone else was Ah Jiu who was leaning on crutches. He felt that the crutches would affect his speed, so he stopped halfway through the run, threw away the crutches, and limped forward with his arms outstretched.

Li Zhi involuntarily took a step forward, and immediately let Ah Jiu hug him. At the same time, he was slapped hard on the back, causing him to frown immediately due to the pain.

Ah Jiu was unconscious, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I said that the green dot on the mountain is you! Even if it is so far away, no, I sent the eagle out to catch you, and I caught you back! "

Li Zhi was slapped back to his senses by Ah Jiu's ecstatic palm. After hearing his words, he was even more surprised. He really set the eagle. It really was...

Xiao Han was frightened.

After discovering the strangeness of this goshawk, Li Zhi subconsciously thought of Ah Jiu - when he learned swords from Ah Jiu in the early years, he also lived with him in the mountains, and he often saw him communicate with wild beasts in the mountains , even referring to making these beasts do things.

Li Zhi was about to blame Ah Jiu for being scary, and why he couldn't find anyone on the day of Fuyue Mountain's accident. Before he could say anything, he saw the people behind Ah Jiu, and he suddenly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Fu Bai was also there, and he didn't know when he came. When he saw someone, he called out to the leader with red eyes. His voice was hoarse and his expression was exhausted. He was so anxious that he didn't care about anything.

Li Zhi nodded towards him, his expression relaxed, and then he looked at the other person suspiciously.

Meng Jianyu was actually there, and picked up the crutch that Ah Jiu left behind, and now he was standing behind Ah Jiu, looking at Ah Jiu's frowning expression like...

He, Meng Jianyu, is worried about Ah Jiu?

This is a rather strange conjecture.

Li Zhi quietly pressed Ah Jiu's shoulders, pushed the dancing and triumphant man away, and temporarily stopped his plans to ask him again, and only asked, "When did you come back? How did you come here?"

Xiao Han regained consciousness belatedly, and saw Yan Ba ​​Yan Jiu's subordinates coming over, everyone's faces were filled with relief, and they were also very tired.Xiao Han looked at Li Zhi and Ah Jiu, then looked back at Yan Ba ​​and the others, with a gratified smile from his heart, and raised his hand to stop them before they knelt down, "You have worked hard."

Yan Ba ​​and the others were red-eyed with anxiety, and when they really saw someone, everyone felt relieved.

"It's good that the son returns safely."

It was at this time that Xie Ning got down from the carriage not far away, and when he saw Xiao Han, his slightly pale face eased a lot, and he quickly stepped forward.

"It's good that my son is fine."

Xiao Han didn't expect that Xie Ning was still there. He didn't think that Xie Ning would definitely die in the explosion, but he didn't expect that he would stay on the mountain and wait for them.

Therefore, Xiao Han's response was a little more sincere, "We are all fine, thank you for your concern. This time, I will be the one to thank you."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, how can you say it's a burden, after all, I want to come." Now that Xiao Han came back alive, Xie Ning felt a little less burdened.After all, he was the one who told Xiao Han that Li Zhi was here, if he hadn't told him, Xiao Han would not have come.

But regarding this point, Xiao Han was also sincerely grateful to Xie Ning, but he didn't exchange greetings with Xie Ning for too long, and fell silent because of Li Zhi's question.

"Where's Aunt Hong?"

The smile on Ah Jiu's face froze, Fu Bai pursed his lips and lowered his head, everyone was silent.

This obviously means that Hongye did not return safely like them.

Li Zhi had expected it a long time ago, but when he got the affirmation, he still felt a little sad in his heart.He gritted his teeth and endured, then asked, "Where's Uncle Wen?"

Ah Jiu coughed lightly, stretched out his hand to hold Li Zhi, and said, "I just came back, why are you asking so many questions? Look at your body is dirty, so is your son, why are you still hurt? Let's go back, take a bath first, and sleep well." Once you wake up, we will talk about it when we go back to eat..."

Ah Jiu's avoidance made Li Zhi turn pale, and pressed the back of Ah Jiu's hand heavily.

"Uncle Wen also..."

Ah Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "He's fine, he's moved back to recuperate, if you're in a hurry, come back with us and have a look?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then cast his suspicious eyes on Fu Bai who was behind Ah Jiu.

Fu Bai nodded affirmatively.

For a moment, Li Zhi didn't know who to believe, so he looked back at Xiao Han for some reason.

Xiao Han was the only one in the black eyes full of dependence, which made Xiao Han slightly startled, then took Li Zhi's hand, and said softly: "Go back."

Hearing his voice, Li Zhi finally settled down and nodded slightly.
