[Xianjian 5] Encounter and meet with Zi Zang

?Chapter 35. Many crises fall into the hands of the enemy

The weapons in the hands of the villagers waved at Yunfan and the others mercilessly. Yunfan was almost hit by a hoe on the spot, but fortunately he dodged quickly and was not injured.

Inexplicably, the four fell into a war with the villagers.

What's worse is that the villagers' skills are poor, but they have been working in the fields all year round, and their health is considered good, but they can't stand the large number of them, and they don't know how serious they are. On the other hand, Yunfan and the others are afraid that they can't kill these villagers. Yes, it was quickly dispersed by the crowd.

While dodging, Yunfan suddenly found Zhong Jianzhi's figure looming in the nearby woods.

Catch the thief first catch the king!

Yun Fan also understood this point, he jumped up and jumped over several people in a row, intending to catch this Zhong Jianzhi and make him explain everything clearly.

"Stop!" Yun Fan yelled in that direction.

Seeing this, a villager immediately threw the sickle in his hand with all his might.

Yun Fan, who was in the air, felt the sound of the wind behind him, and found the sickle thrown at him, but he had no way to rely on it in mid-air, so he leaned back abruptly to avoid it, and then his body fell to the ground involuntarily. .

"careful!"

Yurou didn't care about herself either, and used her umbrella to block the person in front of her.A small wind spell suddenly emerged from the tip of the umbrella, forcing the person to recede towards Yunfan's landing point involuntarily.

In an instant, Yunfan understood Yurou's intentions, and he put one hand on the man's shoulder to make a somersault.With one kick, several people who were chasing after Yurou flew away, and landed firmly.

"Where's that guy?!" After landing, Yun Fan looked around anxiously, trying to find Zhong Jianzhi's figure, but saw that Xiaoman had already thrown off the besieging villagers first, and was chasing after him into the woods.

Seeing this, the three of Yunfan also escaped as fast as they could and chased into the woods.

At night, the forest is dark and oppressive, and the atmosphere is mysterious. It seems that a few ghosts will appear at any time.The few people entered the forest for the first time, they were not familiar with everything, and they didn't see Zhong Jianzhi and Xiaoman's whereabouts, so they had to walk forward according to the impression just now, and they didn't know if they were looking for the direction.

But the woods were too big and too dense. At first, there were occasional rustling sounds from far ahead, but then there was no more movement. They walked for a while based on their feelings, but they still didn't gain anything.

"Xiao Man!" Yun Fan called her loudly, but there was no response for a long time, and he couldn't help saying, "Could it be that guy's way?"

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, and even the shouts of the villagers disappeared at some point.

This is an extremely abnormal quietness, no one knows what kind of terrible and sinister dormant under the calm appearance.

"This forest is a bit weird, let's be careful." Yurou warned softly.

Long You had a complex expression, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't speak.

They continued to move in the direction of the original sound. The dark forest was extremely quiet and strange, and wisps of mist lingered around, invading the lungs, making people feel bone-chilling.

Quiet.

silence.

In the huge forest, there is not even a sound of insects chirping, the only sound is the occasional cracking sound of dead branches under the feet.

After a long time.

Yurou suddenly stopped in her tracks, pointed to one side and said, "That cave... seems to be lit by fire?"

Yun Fan and Long You hurriedly followed the direction Yurou said and looked carefully. Under the dark sky, behind the layers of coiled plants, there seemed to be a very faint fire on the mountain wall there. Heart found heresy, and I'm afraid they will all miss this place.

The three looked at each other and walked towards the cave.

"Xiaoman!" Long You saw Xiaoman lying in the cave at a glance, rushed forward to help her up, Yun Fan and Yurou also hurriedly followed, for fear that Xiaoman might make a mistake.

"Xiaoman, wake up." Seeing that Xiaoman couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed, Yun Fan became anxious.

"Fortunately, the worst didn't happen." Long You said, his tone relaxed a lot, "This girl... just fell asleep."

Fell asleep? !

Yun Fan also let go of most of his heart, still puzzled.

"Well done, how could you fall asleep?" Yurou had already seen that Xiaoman was asleep. She looked around and suddenly felt that the surrounding fog seemed to be much thicker...

"This fog is poisonous, hold your breath!" Yurou exclaimed when she noticed something strange.

It's a pity... After all, it was still a step too late, Yun Fan and Yu Rou fell to the ground one after another, and fell into a coma.The last scene Long You saw was Zhong Jianzhi, who came out from the depths of the cave, with an increasingly ferocious smile on his face...

I don't know how long it took.

There was a strong smell of medicinal herbs in the air, and Long You was awakened by the pungent smell.He opened his eyes slightly, looked around secretly, and found that he was in a cave, and Yun Fan, Yu Rou, and Xiao Man beside him were still in a coma.

Long You tried to move, but couldn't use the strength, so he had to look at this place carefully again.

The light in the cave is dim, only a few candles on the cave wall swaying in the faint wind, making this place even more eerie.There seems to be a huge thing placed on the raised stone seat in the center of the cave, vaguely like a big tripod.There was a person standing in front of the tripod, holding a candle in his hand, flipping through the worn-out book in his hand, chuckling from time to time.

This situation is very strange.

After a while, the man put away the book, took a few steps, and looked at the four people lying on the ground. Not wanting to find that Long You had woken up, he couldn't help but let out an "oh" in surprise, and said, "Ordinary people can sleep for a day." A night of poisoning... Who are you? How could you wake up so quickly?"

"This question, I should ask you. You are the one who has been playing tricks here all this time!"

Long You met his questioning gaze and responded coldly.He is trying to suppress the poison in his body, as long as he can act, this Zhong Jianzhi must not be an opponent.

One of Zhong's remonstrances changed his usual kind expression, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, are you trying to procrastinate for time? At this point, don't think that anyone will come to rescue you!"

He expected that even if Long You woke up, he would not be able to move. How could it be possible to unravel the pain that would make ordinary people sleep for a day and a night? He sneered and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you at this time. Yes, that monster I set it free. It doesn't feed on corpses, it just steals them for me."

"Why do you do this?" Long You asked after a moment of procrastination, besides, this matter is indeed too strange, how could anyone go to such lengths to steal the corpse.

Zhong Jianzhi's expression darkened a bit.

"Back in the Central Plains, when I was refining good medicine for cultivating immortals, unexpectedly there were many obstacles, and the method was too heretical in the eyes of others. In the end, I decided to go far away from Miaojiang. On the way, by chance, I got an ancient book on cultivating immortals." He murmured, " It is mentioned in it that if you want to refine medicine, sometimes you need to use the corpse of a person who has just died as a guide, and with the help of Shennong Cauldron, it only takes ten years to make medicine..."

"I think it's God helping me. I got the Shennong Ding when I was collecting medicine in a secret place in Miaojiang!" Having said this, Zhong Jianzhi's tone became excited.

"However, using fresh corpses as a guide is a bit difficult. After thinking about it, I searched for this village and released monsters... The villagers think that I saved them, so they are naturally grateful to me."

As he said that, Zhong Jianzhi cast his eyes on Xiaoman, with eagerness and viciousness in his tone.

"It wasn't until today...after I learned that this little red-haired girl was actually Nuwa that I realized what it means to be in harmony with the right time and place!" Zhong Jianzhi said.

His target was indeed Xiaoman.

Long You secretly said that his guess was not wrong.

"So what if it's a member of the Nuwa tribe?" Long You continued to ask in a deep voice.The poison in his body has suppressed quite a bit, he knew that he should be able to act in just a moment.

"Nuwa people..."

Zhong Jianzhi spoke intoxicated.

"It is said in ancient books that if you get the blood of the Nuwa clan as a sacrifice, the time can be halved. I have been refining the medicine for five years, that is to say, as long as I get the blood of the Nuwa clan...today, I can pay for it." A long-cherished wish!" Zhong Jianzhi laughed out loud as he spoke.

That laughter was full of some kind of paranoid pursuit and madness, which echoed in the cave horribly.

After finishing speaking, Zhong Jianzhi confirmed that everything was ready, picked up the knife that was put aside, and walked towards Xiaoman with his sinister smile...
