Before Tang Zhao could see what was in its teeth, he heard the Shangguan swordsman roar and raise his sword.
Just when everyone thought he was going to hit the ground and knock Meng Huazhou and the white flower out, they saw that he raised his sword upward instead.
The original black blade quickly changed color, not fading to the original snow-white blade, but turning into a dull cyan again, and the outline of the edge gradually became blurry.
suddenly--
The sword blade suddenly turned into blue smoke, scattered in the air, like a puff of green smoke, and then the sword hilt also turned into smoke. The Shangguan swordsman grabbed the empty hand and clenched it into a fist.
The green smoke went away with the wind. He closed his eyes and tilted his ears slightly, as if listening.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and rushed in one direction. His speed was like a cloud of smoke. He walked through the fresh snow in the mountains, barely leaving any footprints, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was still in the sinkhole, looking at each other.
After a while, Black Widow said: "Shangguan Swordsman has found his direction and gone after Meng Huazhou, right? He's not fast. Where are we going? The chasing swordsman can't catch up, and I don't know where he went after Meng Huazhou. What can I do? ?”
Xu Siyao looked at the sky. The sun was still high, and there was still half a day before midnight as promised. "How about... let's break up? Now that we can go faster, we can go back to Xishan County for dinner."
Black Widow looked at her coldly, and Xu Si Yao flinched slightly and argued: "We are not going home just yet, but we are going back to Jingzhe Villa. Seeing that there is no use here, we will go back to help you succeed. Don't worry about long nights and dreams. What? Mr. Meng told him to play in the mud in the mountains."
Black Widow lowered her head and hesitated for a moment. There was really no way out in front of her. Then she saw Tang Zhao squatting on the ground, as if looking at something in his hand. But from their perspective, they felt that Tang Zhao's hands were empty.
Black Widow said: "Little... Tang, what are you looking at?"
Tang Zhao opened his hand and said, "Can you see it?"
At this time, the noon sun shone on his hands, and his fair skin was so bright that it seemed to reflect light. Black Widow squinted her eyes slightly, and saw a faint brilliance on his palm.
"Wire?"
"Yes." Tang Zhao gently twisted the thread pulled out from the white fox's teeth with his fingers, "This is the thread on the flower, and the other side should be able to connect to Meng Huazhou."
The flower changed shape just now. It seemed like a flower directly changing shape, but at the moment of change, the flower actually scattered into countless extremely fine threads, and then quickly reorganized. The speed of unraveling and re-weaving was so fast that no one present noticed it. Only the fox was prepared and went up to bite one of the threads.
Now that the thread was in Tang Zhao's hand, he naturally thought of the description of Hexian Ziqu: It is said that the Cloud City looks majestic and complete, but in fact everything is made of silk threads and flowers. , a stone can be turned into silk thread.
He suddenly realized - isn't this flower the same as Yun Cheng?
So, flowers are indeed things above the clouds?
The white fox catches a thread, just like pulling out a thread from a sweater. The thread can be stretched all the time, and the person wearing the sweater walks away without even noticing. The sweater can be completely dismantled, but the flower is a hundred times more precise than the sweater. As long as the wool is long enough, Tang Zhao can trace it to the ends of the earth.
Black Widow was overjoyed and suddenly realized that there was a bright future in the dark. She had no idea of going back and said, "Great! Let's chase after her."
Tang Zhao said: "Wait a moment - Master Yin, that's the most dangerous time over there. Just now the swordsman probably used his tracking swordsmanship to chase him. Now if we follow him, he will fall behind the swordsman. It's easy to cause a conflict. Let's Wait a little longer.”
Black Widow nodded. Tang Zhao would fully respect her opinion on the key choice, that is, on the strategic level. But when it came to specific tactics, it was Tang Zhao who made the final decision on the swordsman level, and she would not comment.

She looked back at Xu Siyao and said, "You guys..."
Xu Si Yao took a step forward and said softly: "The two of us are useless now, so let us go. When I go back, I will only clear the way for you to ensure that you can successfully take over the position of the owner of the village. I I already obey you and obey your orders. Are you still afraid that I will go out and rebel against you?"
Black Widow smiled slightly and said: "Sister Si Yao, I didn't expect you to consider yourself 'useless'? Do you know what happens to useless people in the Five Poisons Association?"
Xu Si Yao was startled. Yu Si Chen took a step behind and said, "What do you want?"
Black Widow smiled and said: "Of course I care about friendship and refuse to do anything. Let's do this. You can leave, but the doctor must take my soul-inducing pill." After saying that, he took out a pill.
Under the sunlight, the pill was crystal clear and cute, but there was a small black shadow in the middle, which looked like a poisonous insect, which made people a little hairy.
Xu Siyao's color changed. Yu Sichen didn't know what the soul-inducing pill was, but when he saw Xu Siyao's body stiffened, he immediately took a step forward. Xu Siyao hurriedly stopped him and held him tightly.
Black Widow smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't have any intention to control you. It's just that I'm venturing in the mountains, and I don't know when I can go back. The Jingzhe Villa has no owner. If it's anyone else, only Sister Xu is capable. Man, if I am not here and there are no other people to compete with, wouldn’t this position become yours? If you become the master of Jingzhe Villa and the swordsman of Jingzhe Sword, you must be strong and powerful. I have power, so why don't I let you control me? I have to take precautions. Sister Xu, if you were in my position, I'm afraid your choice would be the same as mine. You may not even be willing to give me the soul-inducing pill. I'm afraid you'll crush me with your big medicine pestle."
Xu Si Yao lowered his head and said: "The soul-inducing pill... may not be better than a happy pill."
Black Widow said: "When I get out, I will naturally give you the antidote after everything has settled, so there will be no further trouble. Then I will still have to rely on you as an arm."
Xu Si Yao laughed, obviously disapproving.
Black Widow lazily rubbed the elixir in her hand and said: "If it were others, I would only give them one chance. If they eat, they will eat. If they don't eat, they will die. But the sisterly relationship between you and me is extraordinary. I don't want to see you die. Okay." Make a vow. Just..."
She raised her head slightly and said: "Swear by the sun. If I return safely and you keep your peace, I will give you the antidote when I successfully succeed as the owner of the village. Otherwise, the sun's fire will burn me to death."
Xu Si Yao's heart moved slightly and he said, "But what if you can't come back safely?"
Black Widow said: "If something happens to me and Xiao Tang is still alive, ask him to bring you the antidote. You know what he is capable of. He can live even if I die." She didn't wait for Xu Si Yao to say anything else, and said directly : "Is this enough? If both of us are gone, will I still care about you? Then you can ask for your blessings. You must know that there is no one in our Five Poisons Association who will harm ourselves and others."
She came closer and said, "I've given you the choice. Either you have a chance to live, or you die now. Which one do you choose?" As she said this, she put the elixir to Xu Si Yao's lips.
Xu Si Yao was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine at her fingertips.
Her movement was so fast that Yu Sichen didn't react. Seeing her closing her eyes and swallowing, she could only sigh.
Black Widow nodded, patted her and said, "That's good. Sister Xu is a smart person. Then sister, let's go first. I wish you a safe journey."
Xu Si Yao gritted his teeth and said, "I wish you a safe journey." After saying that, he turned to leave, and Yu Si Chen naturally followed her. The two of them walked away after a while.
Black Widow sighed: "I'm just too sweet-tempered. Otherwise, based on her weird words, as the soul-taker, I would have to suffer for her."
Tang Zhao didn't ask her what the soul-inducing pill was. It was probably a pill for controlling the human body, similar to the "Three Corpse Brain Pill" he heard in the story. He would be very disgusted if this kind of thing from the Five Poison Society is used by others. They can use it among themselves, so that's it. As Black Widow said, if Xu Si Yao had control over her life and death, it would be the same fate.
It can be said that the Gu fight is always going on.
She turned to look at Yue Lai again and said with a smile: "Brother Yue..."
Yue Lai said: "I will go with you. You know, I have offended him and must see him die."
This is true. You should not offend others easily in the world. Once you are about to offend, you must eradicate the root cause, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Yue Lai had offended Meng Huazhou to death today. If he didn't watch Meng Huazhou die, he might not be able to sleep or eat well in the future. From this point of view, both sides share the same hatred and there is room for alliance.
Black Widow is wary of Yue Lai because he is considered "very strong" by Tang Zhao. To get this evaluation, I am afraid that he is stronger than her, so she is not qualified to deal with this person. How to arrange it depends on Tang Zhao the meaning of.
At this time, Tang Zhao suddenly said: "Okay, get ready to go."
Black Widow looked doubtful, and Tang Zhao said: "Meng Huazhou stopped. And... it has been stopped for a while."
It turned out that the thread in his hand had been shaking with the opponent's movements, but now it had stopped, indicating that Meng Huazhou had stopped moving.
Originally, Tang Zhao thought that if he stopped and was overtaken again, he would probably have to fight a swordsman. Then the silk thread would shake violently on the spot. Tang Zhao could use the vibration of the silk thread here to monitor the battlefield as if he were "pulsing with a suspended thread". Condition.
But I didn't expect that once the thread sank, it would never move again. In other words, Meng Huazhou really got away. He hid in a relatively safe place and remained motionless without being found by the swordsman.
It seems that Xiancheng's sword power is indeed very strong. At least Shangguan Swordsman's wind-like tracking method was in vain.
If there is no fighting and there is no chance of profit, there is no point in waiting here. It will not be good for everyone if we delay it until night.
Tang Zhao said: "Let's slowly close the line. We must be careful. One is to be careful of being discovered by Meng Huazhou. The other is to be careful of Shangguan Swordsman. If he has not found Meng Huazhou now, he must be using his swordsmanship to detect abnormalities around him. If he finds us , chasing our tail and finding Meng Huazhou, then we will be married."
He raised his head, looked at Yue Lai with a somewhat meaningful look, and said, "As for Brother Yue..."
Yue Lai was a bachelor, so he said, "In that case, I'll go to the front to explore the way."
