The next day, the Blood River Sect's spies still didn't find any changes in the Yulong Inn they had been keeping an eye on. It was still the same as usual, with troops stationed there, and the defense would be changed normally when the time came.
There was no large group of people taking action at the gate of Jade Dragon City.
Another peaceful day.
This made the people in the Blood River Sect branch in Jade Dragon City breathe a sigh of relief.
The General Altar has just issued a strict order to strictly monitor the movements in Yulong City and not let go of any movements by the Central Plains martial arts masters and the Shenwu Army.
This puts great pressure on the divisions in Jade Dragon City. The Blood River Sect's sect rules can make people live but not die. The Jade Dragon Division started from the butcher, and from top to bottom, everyone tightened their strings during these seven or eight days, not daring to relax at all.
It wasn't until there was no abnormality for so many days that everyone relaxed a little.
However, although there is peace in Yulong City, there are still two old men running around in Shiwan Mountain.
Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo played hide and seek with the people of the Blood River Sect in Shiwanda Mountain.
——
"Huh!" Liu Dufeng breathed a sigh of relief after getting rid of the pursuing Blood River Sect warrior.
It's not that Liu Dufeng is afraid of these people. The team he leads to pursue them is only in the Yuan Hua realm. He and Zhuge Zhengwo can kill the leader almost instantly, but the movement will also alarm the surrounding Fa Tian Xiang realm.
Judging from the battles in the past few days, there are at least three Fa Tian Xiang Di Realm nearby.
Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng both suffered internal injuries. Although they were not serious, they still had a certain impact on their combat capabilities.
Without knowing the reality of the enemy, the two chose not to fight head-on with these people from the Blood River Sect.
"Old Liu, why do these Blood River Sect disciples keep chasing us?!"
Zhuge Zhengwo was not only the instructor of the imperial army when he was young, but also one of the famous prisoners during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao.
Not to mention Liu Dufeng, although Lao Liu is slightly inferior to Mr. Zhuge in martial arts, he has all kinds of tracking and concealment methods at his fingertips.
Before Yang Qingyuan established the Criminal Law Academy, half of the six-door set was left over from Dali Temple back then, and the other half was handed over by Liu Dufeng.
Being able to gain the trust of Emperor Taizongwen and take charge of one of his own, Liu Dufeng's abilities are naturally beyond words.
"Probably some tracking method was planted on us."
Liu Dufeng had already searched using conventional tracking methods, but could not find the tracking methods used by the Blood River Sect.
Zhuge Zhengyi didn't pay much attention, but instead said, "In this southern borderland, the poisonous poison technique is different from that in the Central Plains. If any poisonous insect technique is really used, we can't tell the difference."
"That being the case, why don't we leave quickly, find a place to wash our clothes, and take a shower, maybe we can resolve this tracking technique inadvertently."
The most commonly used technique for tracking is scent.
Both eyesight and hearing are limited, while smell remains with time, and the spread of smell is the furthest.
Under normal circumstances, bathing can solve most problems.
"To be on the safe side, we'd better find a village, change clothes, and have a good meal on the way." Zhuge Zhengwo made a decision, and Liu Dufeng also raised his hands in agreement.
The two of them had been in the mountains for a while, and had eaten a lot of mushrooms. If it weren't for their profound skills and their fear of ordinary poisons, they would have been buried in the mountains by now.
It’s human nature to have a good meal.
After making the decision, the speed of the two people's steps immediately increased. Zhuge Zhengwo fully developed his Qinggong with the power of Xunfeng, and his speed was absolutely top-notch. The Bagua mind method mainly focuses on a regular octagon, which is a bit like the weak Bei Mingzi and Wang Chongyang.
Taoist masters generally do not show partiality.
Although Liu Dufeng was not as comprehensively developed as Zhuge Zhengwo, his Qinggong was acquired through exchanges with Yang Qingyuan, so it was naturally not ordinary. After accelerating, he temporarily got rid of the Blood River Sect masters who were following him.
Without a guide, the two did not dare to be too aggressive. After all, the poisonous miasma in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was no joke. They could only follow the method taught by Jin Bao and follow the wind direction to find the place where the poisonous miasma had been blown away. The villages in southern Xinjiang are all concentrated in these terrains.
Because the two of them were not familiar with the terrain, they walked around the mountain for almost a day before they found the village.
Out of caution, Mr. Zhuge and Liu Dufeng even disguised themselves before entering the village.
"You two are from the Central Plains! Are you here to do business?! Where are the goods?! Or are you doctors?!"
An elder in the village looked at the two people with great doubts and confusion.
Among people from China, there are generally only two types of people who come to southern Xinjiang, either together or alone, one is a businessman and the other is a doctor.
Merchants are here to make profits, and things from the Middle Kingdom can be exchanged for precious medicinal materials in southern Xinjiang.
Doctors, on the other hand, go into the mountains to find various medicinal materials.
Sun Shichang, Tang Shenwei, and Li Binhu have all been to southern Xinjiang.
The exotic flowers and herbs in Middle Earth have basically been used by doctors. If you want to continue to develop medicine, in addition to opening up new schools of thought, you can only find new medicinal materials.
Southern Xinjiang is like spring all year round, and there are many exotic flowers and plants that are not found in China. For a medical expert like Sun Shichang, as long as he can understand their properties, they can be used as medicine.
By the way, there is another kind of person who can also enter Southern Xinjiang. The soldiers of the Shenwu Army once entered Southern Xinjiang in an organized manner during the Southern Xinjiang War.
But they dare not go deep and usually retreat when they reach the middle section of southern Xinjiang.
Zhuge Zhengwo stood up and said, "Hahaha, I have good eyesight. I am indeed a doctor."
Compared with Liu Dufeng, who is partial to specialties, Zhuge Zhengwo is undoubtedly an all-rounder. He and Yang Qingyuan teamed up to cure Sheng Yayu's legs.
"Then who is he?!" The old man turned to look at Liu Dufeng, who didn't look like a doctor at all.
"Oh! He is my escort." Zhuge Zhengwo explained for Liu Dufeng.
"He is a guard, are you trying to trick me?" The old man looked at Liu Dufeng in disbelief.
Liu Dufeng, who was accomplished in Hunyuan Sword Qi, had restrained his sword Qi and did not leak any of it. When ordinary people looked at him, he didn't look like a guard at all.
Facing the old man's doubts, Liu Dufeng walked to the edge of the stone mill without saying a word, used his inner strength in his arms, and raised the stone mill in an instant.
Although Liu Dufeng's natural strength is not great, his true energy warms his meridians, muscles, and bones for a long time, so his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people. Moreover, people with deep internal strength can exert great strength, and their instantaneous explosive power is not comparable to those of strong men. .
"Snap, snap, snap!"
"Amazing!"
"One more, one more!"
Immediately there was a burst of applause, sounds of surprise and cheers.
The elderly and children around applauded Liu Dufeng's move.
"Hahaha, what a joke!" Liu Dufeng put down the stone mill in embarrassment.
With this feeling, he suddenly felt like a busker on the street. Fortunately, no one lost coins, otherwise it would have been more like that.
While he was thinking, a child jumped up to Liu Dufeng's side and said, "Achai, your tricks are really nice, but I don't have any money, so I'll give this to you."
"..." Liu Dufeng looked at the bamboo flute held up in the child's hand, and the feeling just now became even stronger.
Sure enough, I'm still performing arts...
But now Liu Dufeng is still very tolerant towards the child. He touched his head and took the bamboo flute from his hand.
Now no one has any doubts about the identities of Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng.
The old man warmly invited them to his home.
Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng originally wanted to find a hotel, but in a village of this size in Southern Xinjiang... there was no hotel at all.
There are only about two hundred people living in this village, and there are usually no strangers passing by the village, only the occasional businessmen passing by. If someone had chosen to open a hotel, they would have starved to death.
Generally, this kind of village will have several vacant bamboo houses prepared for businessmen or passers-by to rest temporarily.
Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo originally wanted to find this bamboo house to live in, but they couldn't resist the old man's enthusiasm.
After Zhuge Zheng and I stayed here, we also treated the injuries and illnesses of the people in the village.
Even the owner of the village was alerted and sent them special blood sausage and bacon.
At night.
"Brother Zhuge, how are you? Did you find out anything?"
The two of them sat on the bamboo bed and exchanged what they saw during the day.
"This village also believes in the evil god of the Blood River Sect." Zhuge Zhengwo said that the statue they saw in the village owner's home today was the same as what they had seen before.
"I also found out from the mouth of the village leader that the Blood River Sect is indeed looking for you and me. I also read the wanted notice with the portraits of you and me."
Fortunately, the two of them were very good at disguise, making it difficult for ordinary people who didn't know martial arts to tell them apart.
"Does the painting look similar?!"
Zhuge Zhengga looked at Liu Dufeng helplessly. Is this the point? ! At least he is in his fifties.
This look made Liu Dufeng smile awkwardly. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Tonight's dinner was not bad. The blood sausage and bacon had a unique flavor." Liu Dufeng also thought about the food just now. Although it was very different from the Central Plains, it still had a unique flavor.
This resonated with Zhuge Zhengwo.
The two of them are in the realm of heaven and earth. They are not gods, but mortals with appetites. After wandering around in this hundred thousand mountains for so long, it is a happy thing to finally have a good meal. .
Returning to the topic, Liu Dufeng expressed his opinion, "Although these people don't know our identities, they are a village controlled by the Blood River Sect after all. We cannot stay here for a long time. The Blood River Sect may find us here at any time. Let’s leave here early tomorrow morning!”
The two of them had already taken a bath in the mountain stream at night, and bought two sets of clothes from the people in the village on the pretext.
"Brother Liu is right. This Hundred Thousand Mountains seems to have been infiltrated by the Blood River Sect and uses the evil god's belief to control people's hearts. We must be careful."
Zhuge Zhengwo knows that faith is the easiest thing to make people crazy. Although the people in these villages are friendly to the two of them now, if the Blood River Sect uses the power of religion to deal with them. Then these kind people will immediately turn into thugs armed with murderous weapons.
The next day, Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo said goodbye to the villagers and left the village in the name of collecting medicine.
After leaving the village, the two found a place where Liu Dufeng washed, smoked and baked the two sets of clothes they bought.
After completing this set of procedures, even if there are any poisonous insects in the clothes, there should be nothing left.
After the two of them changed their clothes, they set out on the road with peace of mind.
The two of them wandered around the mountain for several times, but did not find anyone following the Blood River Sect approaching.
"Sure enough, the problem lies with our clothes." After changing clothes, he got rid of the Blood River Sect people.
"It should be that when we fought with the Blood River Sect that night, someone secretly used some trick."
It seemed that because the factor of being tracked was eliminated, the two of them became more relaxed and approached in the direction of Yulong Pass.
…
"Zhuge Zheng, I and Liu Dufeng are heading towards Changshui Village!"
A master of the Dongxuan realm was bowing in front of the seventh elder, reporting the whereabouts of Liu Dufeng and the others.
Changshui Village is a large village near the Shiwan Mountain in southern Xinjiang. Nearly 20,000 people live here. It is also the center for small villages from all over the country to exchange supplies.
Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zheng and I leaned in this direction. In the eyes of the Blood River Sect, they were about to run away. This was the way back to the Central Plains.
"These two people are being cautious. They bathed and changed clothes in Zhuyun Village. They thought they could get rid of our tracking in this way. They are simply naive. If the blood-salivating fragrance is so easy to get rid of, why do I need to spend so much effort?!"
Next to the Seventh Elder, another older man who was slightly older than him said proudly, "If they were in other places, they might be able to escape. It's ridiculous that these two people were so smart that they entered the stronghold and changed their clothes. Little did they know that this was what they were doing. Let them no longer be able to take out the palm of my hand."
This person is the maker of the Blood Salivary Incense, the eighth elder of the Blood River Sect. This person is only Dong Xuan, but he is good at all kinds of medicine and poison. He is a good friend of the previous Blood Poison Master, so he is ranked among the elders of the Blood River Sect. eight.
The situation is obviously very good, but the current seventh elder cannot laugh at all.
No matter how good the current situation is, it belongs to the four elders and has nothing to do with him. He no longer has much say in the Blood River Sect's general altar and has been reduced to a pure thug.
The two masters who were close friends with him have been transferred away by the Fourth Elder under legitimate excuses.
The seventh elder can only understand current affairs and be a hero.
The fifth elder who led the team heard this and said, "Then let's go to the outskirts of Changshui Village and wait for them in advance! Since Zhuge Zheng and I can detect the masters two hundred feet away, then we will ambush four hundred feet outside Changshui Village. Outside. Wait until they enter Changshui Village and then tighten the encirclement. By the time the two of them find out, it will be too late!"
This information was extracted from Liu Dufeng by the Seventh Elder at that time, which was considered a great achievement.
The fifth elder decided to show his fairness by letting the seventh elder drink some soup when the time comes.
Half a day later, Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo came towards Changshui Village as they expected.
However, the closer they got to Changshui Village, the more cautious they became, and they repeatedly tested in front of Changshui Village. If it hadn't been for the fifth elder's order, they would have stayed farther away, and it is unlikely that they would have noticed it now.
After hearing the report, the fifth elder twisted his beard and said with a smile, "As expected of the two most powerful figures in the Sixth Department of Darkness, they are indeed extraordinary. It's a pity that the fish will eventually get caught in the net!"
