Let's not mention the revenge fight in Hua Chaoyuan for the moment, but say that He Ji finally snatched the job of catching the liger from He Kui. In order to prevent He Kui from revealing his lies when he went back to ask his father for instructions, how could he dare to wait any longer? Without stopping for a moment, he led everyone towards the back mountain.
Even though everyone was amazed and confused when they saw the two stone pillars engraved with the immortals ascending to heaven, He Ji never stopped and just kept urging everyone on their way.
Gu Xiao took the crystal clear bead handed over by He Ji, put it into his mouth like others, and stepped into the ripple barrier together with Jiang Ningxue. With the white light shining in his eyes, Gu Xiao opened his eyes again, I found myself in the back of He family.
Since coming down the mountain this time, what Gu Xiao has seen has been far beyond his imagination. If the founder of Momen, Chi An, had only mentioned the immortal legend before, then the barrier gate that looks like a magic circle that he saw today, It made Gu Xiao completely believe that immortals did exist in this world.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, He Ji looked around, confirmed the general direction, and led a group of people in the direction of the cloud-piercing arrow he saw just now in Hejia Fort.
The martial arts of this group of people were much better than those of the He family worshipers and the guards in gold, silver, and bronze clothing. They used Qinggong to rush on their way. In the forest behind the mountain, they could only see silhouettes of people passing by.
After so many years, He Ji finally left his father's protection and took people alone to carry out the tasks his father had to do. He was so excited that after about half an hour, everyone finally arrived at a forest halfway up the mountain.
The clouds and fog had long disappeared here, and what everyone saw was not the scene of a fierce battle between people and ligers, but the corpses enshrined in the courtyard and the He family covered in gold, silver, and bronze.
Even though Shui Canglan and Yuwen Tuo were both well-known disciples who were used to seeing big scenes, this tragic scene made everyone stunned for a moment. Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue also saw shock in each other's eyes, even though they were walking along the way He was already mentally prepared to deal with the liger. But he didn't expect that the ligers were so ferocious, and that these He family masters who were still alive today would die so tragically.
He Ji didn't care about the life or death of these people. The only thing in his mind was to quickly catch the liger. With his eagle eyes focused, he jumped to the corpse enshrined in a brocade robe. When he inspected it, he saw three lines on the chest of the enshrinement. The blood marks should be from injuries caused by sharp claws, but this was not his fatal injury. What really killed him was that the true energy in his body was drained and he died.
He Ji was secretly frightened when he thought of the ligers feeding on the true energy. He did not expect the ligers to be so ferocious. Looking at the corpses on the ground, Fang Yuehua and others were not seen. From this point of view, these offerings promoted by the He family were not useless. .
Gu Xiao also came closer to inspect the corpses. He looked at the gold, silver and bronze clothes all over the ground and thought of the three brothers He Bufan. They were pretty good to him when he first entered Hejiapu. Gu Xiao was a little worried. After carefully checking each corpse, I felt relieved until no three people were found.
Shui Canglan didn't care about the life and death of these people. He mobilized his inner strength and improved his perception. He wanted to find out the whereabouts of the liger here. He scanned around, but just when he found nothing, he heard a sudden snowstorm in front of him. After a few noises, Shui Canglan hurriedly drew out his water sword and was on guard. Seeing Shui Canglan acting like this, everyone knew that there might be an enemy coming, so they all were on guard.
It's not that Gu Xiao has never dealt with ferocious beasts in Wugui Mountain. No matter what kind of beast, no beast can escape the vicious hands of Gu Xiao, the 'Overlord of Wugui Mountain', but this time, he has to face the lion with the legend of immortality after all. The tiger beast also secretly concentrated on alert when hearing the noise.
He Ji shook his sleeves, and a bone-penetrating nail slipped into the palm of his hand. With his fingertips, it ejected towards the place where the movement was coming. The bone-penetrating nail whizzed away and disappeared into the snowdrift that made the movement.
"The Lord of the Third Castle is me."
A figure emerged from the snowdrift, holding He Ji's bone-penetrating nail in his hand. When the person stabilized his figure, everyone looked, and the first thing they saw was this person's ruthless eyes. If it weren't for Dressed in the silver guard uniform of the He family, everyone was afraid that he would be regarded as a thief stealing at night.
"Second brother Ren?" Gu Xiao recognized at a glance that this man was Ren Bunan, one of the three brothers leading the way outside Hejiabao. He immediately stepped forward and spoke in surprise.
"Ren Huyuan, where are the other people? What happened?" He Ji rushed forward, grabbed Ren Bunan's collar and asked.
"Then... that liger beast... can stir up clouds and mist. It's too fierce. I... we can't resist it. Brother He ordered us to disperse, so that everyone might be able to escape with their lives..." It was not difficult for Ren to recall that he still felt uncomfortable all over his body. He was trembling, which showed how deep the shadow the liger had left on him.
Hearing Ren Buyun mention the liger, He Ji's eyes sparkled and he continued to ask, "Where did the liger go?"
"The liger... I don't know where the liger went. I just remember that before I fainted, I vaguely saw Brother Helie leading the beast to the mountains." Ren Buyun pointed towards the mountains.
Ren BuNan's words might not be able to deceive even a three-year-old child. How could he hide so perfectly in the snowdrift since he was passed out?
How could He Ji not know that he lied to cover up his greed for life and fear of death, but now is not the time to pursue these things. All he could think about was catching the liger. He Ji turned to Gu Xiao and others aside and said, "Guys, Let’s set off now and capture the liger as soon as possible. What the He family promised to you will be given to you truthfully.”
As long as he catches the liger, Mr. Chongyang will write him into the top list. He Ji's words of "truthfully offer" made Shui Canglan, Yuwen Tuo and Yuwen Tuo, who were a little tired all the way, and who had never spoken. Xiaojie couldn't help but perked up.
Just when He Ji was about to ask everyone to leave and go after the liger, Ren Bu Nan rushed in front of He Ji with a cry and said: "Master of the Third Fortress, please take me with you. Just now When Brother He asked everyone to separate and run for their lives, my third brother and I got separated. I hope the Lord of the Third Castle can find them because our three brothers have worked hard for the He family for many years."
He Ji didn't even care about the lives of those who were enshrined there. How could he care about the life and death of these nursing homes? He threw away Ren Bu Nan and grabbed his sleeves and taunted: "I'm going to catch ligers now. How can I have time to help you find people?" , If your two brothers are lucky, nothing will happen. If they die, you can only blame them for their bad luck. Besides, if you encounter a liger later, aren't you afraid of death? "
At the moment, all of Ren Bunan's hopes are on He Ji and his group. He has been wandering around the world with his two sworn brothers for many years and has long been like a family member. Although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he can save his two brothers, even if he takes this No matter his life, thinking of this, he risked his life without difficulty and said to He Ji: "Master of the Third Castle, as long as I can save my two brothers, I am not afraid of anything."
"Okay, this is what you said. Didn't you just point out the way for the liger to escape? In this way, you can lead the way. After we catch the liger, I want you to promise to personally lead people to find you. Two brothers." He Jiying turned his eyes, looked at Ren Buyi, and then said.
It was not difficult for Ren to think of the liger, and he couldn't help but feel scared, but then he thought about all the things he had gotten along with his eldest brother and third brother over the years, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, and then recalled the direction in which Helie had led the liger away, and led everyone up the mountain. .
Just after a few people left, a figure came out from behind the tree where they had been standing. This person was graceful, with a black veil on her face, and her hair was tied up with gold hairpins. She looked at the leader intently. He Ji's eyes were full of murderous intent, and then he flashed, hiding his figure, and walked towards He Ji and others.
——
In the Flower Chao Garden, the shadow of the golden staff of the ancestor of the He family trapped Jin Buyi and He Kui in it. Jin Buyi held the judge's pen and the book of life and death, one for attack and one for defense, quite organized, while He Kui had a pair of sharp palm skills. Completely, the two attacked the ancestor of the He family one after another.
The ancestor of the He family fought one against two calmly and calmly. The heavy golden staff rolled in his hands. He was as light as a swallow. He jumped up and kicked He Kui, who was attacking with his palm, and kicked him away. In front of him, he turned his head sideways to avoid the judge's pen that was quickly reaching his throat, and stabbed forward with the golden staff in his hand.
The golden staff was already heavy, and it carried the ancestor's internal energy. The power of this stab was no less than a hundred kilograms. Jin Buyi quickly used his arm's book of life and death to block the head of the golden staff.
The head of the staff touched the Book of Life and Death. Jin Buyi felt a strong force coming from the Book of Life and Death on his arm. His whole body was repelled by this strong force. Jin Buyi quickly turned over in the air to relieve the force. 33
He Kui, who had been kicked away, saw that the ancestor of the He family had not retracted his stick, and now he had an opportunity. He waved his palms, and when the wind passed by, he picked up the winter ice under the eaves and attacked the ancestor of the He family in the back. .
Unexpectedly, the ancestor did not look back and sneered: "Boy, don't forget who gave you this kung fu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind from his palm arrived, and dozens of ice edges followed the wind like sharp arrows to the back of his heart. The ancestor did not look back, but just waved his palm in the same way. These ice edges that came were shattered into powder at the same time. When the winter wind blew, It turned into crystal clear sky and slowly floated down.
"Boy, do you think that what I am good at is only palm skills?"
The ancestor's voice no longer had the old-fashioned sound at this moment, but instead it was rich and clear.
After speaking, the staff came out. Different from the previous wave of the golden staff, the ancestor at this time held the end of the golden staff with one hand behind his back. The head of the staff touched the ground and stood with his hands behind his back. His body shape was not like the rickets of the previous group, but Standing upright, even though he is facing the enemy sideways, the head, tail, hands, elbows and shoulders of the staff are in a straight line, showing his momentum just by standing there.
Seeing this situation, Jin Buyi and He Kui looked solemn, especially He Kui. He had never seen He Zhidao use such a move in so many years. It seemed that this was his main skill.
Of course, He Zhidao didn't want to show off his martial arts skills, but Ji'er was not around today, and that man also accepted his fate and left Hejiabao. He just had a recurrence of his old illness, and he finally recovered after taking a rest just now. At this moment, He Kui took Jin Buyi to attack him. If the old injury relapses in a while, he will definitely be at a disadvantage. It is better to use his killing move while his body can still support it, and kill this person first. The two of them will take it down later.
Thinking of this, He Zhidao didn't wait any longer. He put a little force in the hand behind his back, and heard a clear "click" sound. The golden staff was crushed by his bare hands. It turned out that the golden staff was a hollow thing. It cracked from the tail end, and as He Zhidao exerted another force on his palm, the golden staff completely shattered, revealing a spear in the middle.
Viewed from a distance, the spear is seven feet and two inches long, and the tip of the spear is about seven inches long. It is square in shape and as flat as buckwheat. The ridge of the spear tip is high and thick. There are two blood grooves concave in the middle of the ridge, which is shocking. It feels cold when looking at it. A small golden bell is tied to it with a blood-red spear tassel one foot away from the tip of the spear.
As the spear appeared, Hua Chaoyuan fell into silence. The ancestor of the He family clenched his fist, stretched out his thumb, and quickly tapped several acupuncture points on his abdomen. Under the surprised looks of Jin Weiwei and He Kui, the ancestor of the He family's original pair of turbid eyes The turbidity in his eyes faded away, the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, the hand holding the gun tail gradually became stronger, and his whole person lost the senility of before and turned into a middle-aged man with a vigorous and heroic appearance.
The golden bells and red tassels tied to the spear also made a crisp sound as He Zhidao's face grew younger. The sound of golden bells also caused the winter wind to rise in the Huachao Garden. Whether it was the snow in the Huachao Garden, The icicles falling from the eaves were all attracted by the golden bell and rolled towards the spear in He Zhidao's hand.
Some people died, but not completely...
