[New Peerless Double Pride 3] Over the years

The bottom of the slope, the entrance to the cave.

"It's pitch black..." Ruohu was a little timid, "My lord, why don't we go in after dawn."

Jiang Xia shook his head, "Sister Ruohu doesn't know something. There is no difference between day and night in the cave, and it's all the same darkness when you go in." After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to glance at me, because of what he said earlier, "Ruohu The word "sister" is pronounced very clearly.

"Sister Ruohu," I also said, "come and hold my hand, and let Mr. Puller take you in."

Ruohu looked at me, and then at Jiang Xia, with a pink face, a little troubled.

"Son..."

"Follow me!" Jiang Xia ignored me and pulled Ruohu across into the cave.I had no choice but to follow in.

In the cave, three torches illuminate the surroundings. It is no different from other caves, with stone walls, stone ground, and moisture.At first the road was spacious and the air was fresh, but after a short walk, the funnel-like cave narrowed and tightened. A row of three changed to one behind, and finally it had to become a row of three.

"Cough..." My breath was a bit suffocated, and I couldn't help coughing out.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Xia, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and asked me who was walking at the end of the line.

"It's okay...cough..."

The cave is cold and wet, although I wear a lot of clothes, but the woman's body is cold, one is not as powerful as a small shrimp to protect the body, and the other is that there is no gold and precious fire fox blood in Ruohu, so among the three, the weakest It's actually me.

Going forward, I found that the funnel had changed, the cave became wider again, and the sound of water dripping from the rocks along the way gradually stopped.Although the compression of the space has improved, the drier gas is only thinner, and it is dry and cold, that is, it is really cold.

All of a sudden, the three torches went out at the same time, Ruohu screamed, as if bouncing, I hurried forward to hold her hand, in the darkness, the other hand stretched out, warm palm, tight Hold my hand tightly.

"Ah!" I yelled.

"Ah!" The other party also called, "Why are you?" Jiang Xia's bright eyes are like night pearls at this time, and they are good for identifying directions in the dark.

I stared at these eyes, the two of them had already loosened their hands, Ruohu was left aside instead, but the topic of the conversation was still about her.

"You son of pulling clothes," Jiang Xia said in an aggressive tone, but his eyes glowed with brilliance, "You are dishonest because of the darkness, can you touch sister Ruohu's pair of soft catkins?"

"You little Xiami," I also replied, "I don't see anyone at the critical moment, if sister Hu is in your hands, how can I rest assured?"

"Dial, Mr. Pulling Clothes..." Ruohu called me in a low voice.

"Wait a minute," I didn't look at her, "I'll talk to you later."

"My lord..." Ruohu called Jiang Xia in a low voice again.

"Didn't you see that I'm talking about business with Mr. Pulling Clothes..." Jiang Xia glared at Ruohu, and this glance made his last few words grow softer and quieter, and finally stuck in his mouth.

"Snake..." Jiang Xia's voice tightened.

"what?"

Ruohu raised his hand and made a movement, "Jiuzhong Fang Waitian, fire!"

Instantly bright.

"Snake!" Jiang Xia's voice was much clearer this time, and I didn't need him to remind me at all. Everything I saw before my eyes couldn't be more clear.

The ground is red, full of eyes, and a large wriggling ground. All you see are snakes, with soft and phosphorescent bodies. A large number of snakes are constantly gushing out of a hole in front of you, spitting out red letters. Entangled and intertwined, there are more than a hundred of them.

I shuddered, and saw one of the little snakes poking its head out, cruising and crawling on the bodies of its many companions, it felt as if there was also such a snake, burrowing into my clothes without making a sound , cold and creamy, crawling inch by inch along my back.

"No... don't be afraid..." Jiang Xia's tongue was a little knotted, but she still protected me and Ruohu behind her.

I took advantage of this spare time to grope around my body, but luckily I was wearing thick clothes when I went out, so I naturally brought more things. At this moment, I heard Ruohu scream, and something fell from the stone wall above my head. "What's wrong?" Jiang Xia turned her head, her voice still full of surprise, when suddenly a snake hung upside down from the stone wall.

The slender, dark red snake, with its head curled up, was hanging right in front of Jiang Xia's eyes.I saw it open its mouth, the mouth was so big that it seemed to be able to swallow half a human head, its two fangs were sticking out, the snake letter was turned down, and its small eyes were full of murderous and bloodthirsty eyes——

"Small shrimp, close your eyes!" I yelled, and sprinkled a whole pack of realgar powder on Jiang Xia's face.

"Ahem..." He coughed violently as expected.

The snake's body had already poked its head out, but when the realgar was filling the sky, it narrowly retracted its body, but there was no time to rejoice—"Ruohu, come here!" I went to Laruohu again, but it was too late, because the snake Not only one, the snakes under his feet began to climb up the rock wall, and the snakes on the rock wall hung upside down like bats one by one.

By Ruohu's side, I had already lost my way, and threw all the blood in my hand to seal my throat. "Be careful, Mr. Pulling Clothes!" I heard Ruohu yelling behind me, and I looked back at her, just about to say "Take care of yourself", when a red snake five feet away bounced up and flew straight Xiang Ruohu, I can't do it this time, the hidden weapons have already been exhausted, and I can only use my hands. I offer my own hand to protect Ruohu. After all, if you are detoxified after being poisoned, based on my understanding of my physique, I am absolutely confident that I am a member of the Firefox tribe. Expelling the poison, I suddenly heard the sound of drawing a sword behind me - "Pianxue Sword!"

Shuashuashuashua, but there are a few red lights in front of my eyes, and the incisive scorching sun saber technique is slashed out in front of my eyes. I am familiar with that heat wave. When it breaks, the snake's body is mostly in several pieces, flying in the sky in pieces, with a lot of snake blood, like red rain.

"Sun Boyi, are you okay?"

"Young man, are you alright?"

When the crisis was resolved, the voices of two people in front of me and behind me asked me at the same time.

I couldn't help laughing, being meddling in other people's business is a big deal, obviously I'm the one who shouldn't be forced to stand out, but I'm the one who meddles the most.

"It's okay." I responded, and sprinkled all the realgar powder left around me on the three of them.

"Sun Boyi, you don't know any martial arts at all." Resisting the breath of realgar, Jiang Xia wondered, "Without martial arts, how did you walk the rivers and lakes?"

To be honest, I haven't had the chance to walk around the rivers and lakes yet. As for the other life-saving skills in my body except medical skills, Xiao Yu'er has taught me little by little in the past few years. I am too stupid, so I have learned some skills more or less.

However, these skills, trickery, desperate fighting, compared to other people's real kung fu, I really can't even count on my fists and legs.

"You don't have to use your hands to walk in the rivers and lakes," I answered Jiang Xia's question. "The brain grows on the top of the head, and it's there to remind people to use it."

"Your head," Jiang Xia glanced at me with raised eyebrows, "If you don't have me today, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it in the future."

I could only laugh dryly, and didn't want to say anything more, because I could faintly feel that Jiang Xia seemed a little annoyed, although I didn't know what he was annoyed about, but I didn't want to add fuel to the fire.So he turned around and asked, "Ruohu, where did you get hurt?" Even the word "sister" didn't want to be mentioned again.

Ruohu shook his head, but looked at me with great concern, "Young Master Boyi, why did you help me block that snake?"

I was startled, is this a problem? Shouldn't I help her block the snake?

In Ruohu's eyes, there is a strange shimmer like a clear spring. Looking at her, I feel the softness and brightness around her. It seems that she is pitying others, but in fact it is pitiful.

I don't know how to answer, the three of them are silent, and what I don't know is whether my intentional intervention between these two is itself a stupid temptation.After all, everyone has their own circumstances, and I shouldn't deliberately push forward something that existed in the past in order to fulfill Mojialuo's wish, because the result may be counterproductive.

I made the gesture of competing with Xiaoxia for Ruohu, initially to stimulate Xiaoxia to pay attention to Ruohu.Now it seems that the effect has been achieved, and I should restrain myself from Ruohu.

The three of them were still walking side by side, when Ruohu suddenly tore my shirt.

I turned my head—"Thank you." She whispered, and then smiled sweetly, which was so sweet that it made people feel sad. This kind of girl can always arouse people's desire for protection, but I feel that it seems that she shouldn't treat her I have too many good feelings.

"No thanks." In the end, I just responded helplessly.

……

At the end of the cave, Xiaoxia, Ruohu and I saw the strangest scene in our life.

It's strange that the person who should have died didn't die, but now he is about to die, which is also strange.

There is a wooden box quietly placed on the edge of the rock wall. It has been aged for a long time, and the surface is covered with dust, but the original color has long been unrecognizable.And on the box lay Ziyang Taoist, the elder brother of the Kunlun School.The reason why I recognized him at a glance was because there was an iron gossip tied around his waist, which was not on the dead body next to the Wulei stele. When I saw the dead body for the first time, I felt strange. I thought this iron gossip was the owner's beloved The dead body must be worn wherever it goes, so I speculate that the dead body is not Taoist Ziyang at all.

It is not surprising that the person in front of him is wearing ordinary and rough cloth clothes. The strangest thing is that his face, hands, and all the exposed skin on his body are covered with a layer of moths. dead body.

The beautiful and colorful moths die at the most splendid moment, and the psychedelic and colorful stripes seem to form strange human faces, absurd faces with fierce eyes, either crying or laughing, or crying laugh.It's fine if you don't see it, but when you see it, it looks more and more like a living face, staring straight at me, making me want to back away.

"What is this?" I was a little chilled and asked the two people around me.

Ruohu didn't make a sound.

"Bliss moth." Jiang Xia replied, "It's a special product in Kunlun Mountains."

"Bliss Moth? What is it?"

"This kind of moth, sucking human blood, paralyzes people in a short period of time, giving birth to the illusion of being in a fairyland, and then the moth lays eggs in the human body. When the mother dies, the human becomes a container, which can maintain the moth eggs in a sleep state. Stored in the human body, it will not hatch on its own until the person dies and decays into dry bones, and the moth eggs have no support anymore."

"How could there be such a thing?" I felt disgusted.

Jiang Xia said, "Compared to fly eggs, at least this creature is much more beautiful."

I know he is mocking me, he is similar to his father in this respect, he is unforgiving.But I don't have time to argue with him about these things. Since he knows all the habits of this bliss moth, he should also know how to deal with this beautiful and creepy creature.In the end, before I could ask him, he answered me with a feeling: "This man is hopeless. You can see that there is still breath in his chest, but in fact, most of his flesh and blood have been eaten away. He is dead." It's sooner or later."

"Then this moth egg..."

"There is a way to use fire to burn it clean."

"But why are these moths elicited?"

"Because of the box," Jiang Xia replied, "If I'm not mistaken, Sima Yan put a potion specially designed to attract bliss moths in the box. When the box was opened, the potion gave off a smell that attracted moths. Anyone who opens the box will surely die."

So vicious!I instantly thought of Sima Hongchang. If he really overcomes all difficulties to come here one day, with his temper, he must go down to meet his father who "kills people like garlic", and then he can figure it out. How to die.

And I looked at Jiang Xia at this time. I saw such a strange scene before, and asked him questions in a panic. He was not only calm, but also answered in an orderly manner. Maybe I have always regarded myself as a ghost master, so I unconsciously ignored it. Xia will not always be a small shrimp. In fact, he has already grown up. I always treat him as a child and treat him as an apprentice. On the other hand, he has already grown up enough to be independent and even protect the abilities of those around you.

"My lord..." Ruohu suddenly said, and said to me and Jiang Xia, "That man... that Taoist priest... seems to want to say something."

I looked at Taoist Ziyang, and sure enough, his own hand hanging by his side was raised from the ground at this moment, although it was only an inch, it seemed to be doing everything he could, and it was unbearable to refuse.

He held out his hand, that he heard us, that he wanted us to come forward and have something to say.

"What should I do?" Inadvertently, I was used to asking Jiang Xia what he thought, but he turned his head and smiled at me, "Are you scared?" He asked with a smile, "It's just a dead moth, what are you afraid of?"

After speaking, he was the first to lift his feet and walked towards Taoist Ziyang.

Sweeping off the dead moths on Taoist Ziyang’s body with a saber, I just approached and saw the pale but almost transparent hands and face of the man. , nor purple.And the moth eggs in his body appeared as white particles one by one, which was extremely strange.

Taoist Ziyang kept raising his hand, red light flashed between his fingers, he let go, and an ordinary ruby ​​ear fell to the ground.

There was a light and crisp sound, and I figured out all the joints of the whole thing.

In the beginning, Taoist Ziyang should have faked his death in order to take this ruby ​​earring out of the Valley of the Evil without anyone noticing.

That day, I was still counting over 400 steps boredly with Jiang Xia and Ruohu, and Taoist Ziyang and the three of them had figured out where the treasure was.Perhaps it was because they didn't believe in the credit of the wicked people in the valley from the beginning to the end, so they came up with this plan. One of the three people faked death, and the other two were responsible for creating suspicious soldiers to disturb the line of sight and draw everyone's attention to the murder case.They created an alibi for themselves, and pushed the suspicion to the people in the valley of the wicked, so no one suspected that it was their Kunlun faction who were plotting wrongdoing.

Next, someone in the valley should have lost a corpse, and that corpse was the Ziyang Taoist corpse that Kuaishou Kongkonger found next to the Five Thunder Stele.After one or two days of death, I don't know how Ziming and Taoist Ziguang used to warm the body, making Kong Konger think that the person just died.Next, Taoist Ziming deliberately lured Tian Chixing back to the valley to follow him and Ziguang, so the two had witnesses again.At this time, Taoist Ziyang, who was supposed to die, had already avoided the eyes of everyone, and secretly came to the treasure place to get the treasure. When the treasure was taken out, no one would doubt the identity of this disguised person, and no one would even know that the ruby ​​earrings had been stolen. Others take it away, so that he can easily leave the Valley of the Evil and take away the priceless things without paying a penny.

No—on second thought, the two Taoists Ziming and Ziguang didn't need to go around in such a big circle to prove their innocence. Even if there is no witness, the Kunlun sent the dead to be their own business, and the wicked valley would not care too much It is nostalgic to avenge the deceased. They must have other purposes in doing so, but what is it?

"Ear... earrings..."

The dying Taoist Ziyang, dying at this moment, still misses the ruby ​​earring that is so ordinary in my eyes.

"The earrings are here." Jiang Xia picked up the earrings from the ground and held them up to Taoist Ziyang.

Taoist Ziyang wriggled his lips in pain. He is less than [-] years old, and he is full of energy and voice like Zhongzhou, but now he has only one breath left, and he can't even speak well. Seeing him in such pain, I went up and fed him a bite to cry. Mianmo Xinguo, at least before he dies, he can have the strength to finish what he wants to say once.

"Give... this earring... to... Fourth Junior Brother, Ziguang..." He finally finished his last sentence panting, closed his eyes, and died.

"It's actually for the earrings..." I glanced at the earrings with a faint red glow, inlaid with gold hooks, and tear-shaped gemstones. Very uncomfortable.

"Hush..." Jiang Xia suddenly gestured and said in a low voice, "Someone is coming, hide first."

Looking around, the only place to hide was the shadow behind a peak rock, but for the three of them, it seemed a bit more crowded.I was close to Jiang Xia's body, Ruohu was close to me and Jiang Xia's body, the heartbeats of the three of them fluctuated one after another, I felt cold, but now I felt hot again.

A person's footsteps sounded, and the torch lighting came along with it, making it easier for us who were hiding in the dark to see who was coming.

The person who came was Taoist Ziming, the third senior brother of the Kunlun School.

When he saw the corpse of Taoist Ziyang next to the box, he couldn't help being taken aback, and then, to everyone's surprise, instead of being sad, a smile appeared on his lips, and he kicked the corpse away, and he went up I wanted to open the box before.

I know that there is a potion that brings death in that box, so of course I can't watch others die, and I was about to step out of the dark to stop it, when suddenly a hand came around my mouth behind me, without giving me any room to resist, so I tightly covered it my mouth.

The smell of realgar, between the fingers of these hands, is full of realgar irritating, but it has already become light. There are calluses made by the knife on the hands of the shrimp, which makes my flesh ache.

Taoist Ziming didn't open the box because he followed him, and immediately after him came the second person: Taoist Ziguang, the fourth junior of the Kunlun School.

It was another scene, and at this time the protagonists finally got together.
