Cai Zhao panted and held on to the door frame: "Master Zhou, don't drink that wine, it must be poisonous!"
Zhou Zhiqin was startled, Hu Tianwei was delighted, Duan Jiuxiu suddenly opened his eyes after hearing the sound, his eyes were filled with light, like a poisonous snake that had seen its prey.
"Miss Xiaohan, didn't you go down the mountain?" Zhou Zhiqin was very surprised, "Where is your brother?"
Cai Zhao waved his hand: "Master Zhou, don't ask these questions for now. Do you know, that man is not the old servant named Hu at all, he is Tianji Elder Duan Jiuxiu! He is not dead, he escaped the killing order back then!"
Zhou Zhiqin looked in disbelief, but he decisively left Hu Tianwei and walked to Cai Zhao.
Duan Jiuxiu stood up slowly and smiled arrogantly: "I was worried that I couldn't find you, but I didn't expect you to come to the door yourself."
Hu Tianwei walked over to support him respectfully.
Cai Zhao said bitterly: "Demon sects like you, masters and disciples, who have done many evil things, should have been cut into pieces long ago! Master Zhou, let's join forces to kill them!"
Zhou Zhiqin slowly pulled out his long sword with many gaps on the blade, then handed Dongfang Xiao's intact long sword to Cai Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "Duan Jiuxiu, when you bloodied Qingfeng Temple and committed numerous blood debts, since I, Dongfang Xiao, My dear brother is no longer here, so as a brother, I naturally have no shirk of responsibility!"
"Master Zhou is truly a generous gentleman!" Cai Zhao took the sword with admiration in his eyes, then turned his head and scolded, "Traitor! You will die!" With that, he rushed towards Master and Disciple Duan Jiuxiu.
"Well said!" Zhou Zhiqin followed suit.
Master and disciple Duan Jiuxiu always had a serious look on their face, and they were on guard. However, when Cai Zhao was halfway forward, Hu Tianwei finally couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, revealing a few pointed teeth, and his eyes flashed with anticipation and joy.
Soon after, Cai Zhao's left wrist suddenly flew out with a silver light, and the chime sound was nailed to the left room pillar. His wrist suddenly exerted force, and the whole person flew to the left like a light and light-colored kite. go. When he was about to hit the pillar of the room, she put one foot on the pillar and flew back again like an arrow from a bow. At this time, Zhou Zhiqin was already in front of her...
In an instant, it was like a golden-red light bursting out at dawn, and an unstoppable and powerful sunrise fell straight down. Zhou Zhiqin screamed, drew an arc in mid-air, and fell heavily to the corner of the wall.
There was sudden silence in the room.
Master Duan Jiuxiu was indescribably shocked. There was no movement for a long while, leaving Zhou Zhiqin howling in pain on the ground - a deep and brutal blood mark penetrated from his left shoulder to his lower abdomen, and the right hand holding the sword was broken at the wrist.
In fact, Zhou Zhiqin knew something was wrong as soon as Cai Zhaofei left in front of him. He was also a well-known master among the six Beichen sects. He clapped his hand forward, turned around in mid-air, and raised his sword to block.
Unfortunately, what he encountered was no ordinary weapon.
"Yan, Yanyang Knife?!" Zhou Zhiqin tightly covered his broken belly with one hand, endured the severe pain and sat up, looking intently at the splendid human weapon in Cai Zhao's hand, "You, you are Cai Zhao ?!”
"I haven't said hello to Uncle Zhou for a long time since we were young." Cai Zhao spoke slowly, "How is Uncle Zhou doing?"
Zhou Zhiqin's face was full of sorrow: "Are you crazy, kid? Why did you attack me?!"
Cai Zhao smiled and said, "Stop pretending. My aunt and father grew up in Peiqiong Villa. You can recognize the Zhou family's swordsmanship with your eyes closed. Although I don't have eyes on my back, when I jump away, In an instant, I could clearly see that the sword in Uncle Zhou's hand was in the same stance as "Drinking under the Moon."
"At that time, you and I were still half a room away from their master and apprentice, but we used the 'moonlight drinking' technique to fight closely. Uncle Zhou, who were you trying to kill at that time?"
Zhou Zhiqin was sweating coldly: "No, it's not. They said you were a member of the Demon Cult and killed Lan Tianyu and Jin Baohui. That's why I..."
"Uncle Zhou, please don't be ridiculous." Cai Zhao said coldly, "It's hard to say whether I'm a member of the Demon Sect or not, but Hu Tianwei is definitely the leader of the Demon Sect's elders, and his hands are full of blood debts. You and him You can share the wine and drink in the same room by the fire, but you kill me, who are you trying to bully?"
Zhou Zhiqin had nothing to say and turned to the corner of the room for help. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, Cai Zhao's cold voice immediately sounded, "Elder Duan and the disciples had better not move a step."
As expected, Master Duan Jiuxiu was about to step forward when he saw Cai Zhao holding a small apricot-yellow jade bottle in her left hand. She was half a step away from the stove and could throw the jade bottle into the fire with her hand.
They stopped immediately.
"I think Jin Baohui told you what's in this bottle." Cai Zhao showed the jade bottle to them.
The master and the apprentice stared at each other, and it turned out to be the three- to four-inch-long apricot-yellow jade bottle that Jin Baohui had described, with a ring of old copper wire around the mouth. Hu Tianwei said, "Who knows if there is saliva in the bottle? Stop pretending!"
Cai Zhao frowned, "You don't believe it? It doesn't matter, I'll sprinkle some out for you to smell." As he spoke, he pushed the jade stopper of the bottle with his left thumb.
"No, no, no!" Hu Tianwei shouted immediately - it's such a small bottle, and there must not be much saliva in it. He must hold on to the master first, and only the extra will be his turn. Of course, he doesn't want to waste half a minute. .
"Elder Duan, please stand far away from Ling Gaozu. It's best to stand close to the wall." Cai Zhao said with a smile.
Duan Jiuxiu snorted, "Don't pretend to be a tiger. Even if we kill you, we can still get this bottle."
Cai Zhao lowered his face: "The saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast does not freeze when it is cold, but melts when it is heated. Elder Duan, do you think it is faster for me to throw the saliva into the fire, or for your master to pounce on it? Is it your master-apprentice system? Is it faster to stop me, or is it faster if I cut off my heart pulse?"
Although the girl's attack on Zhou Zhiqin was deliberate and unintentional, her accuracy and ruthlessness were the best choices. The master and apprentice knew clearly that even if they were two against one, they would not be able to restrain the girl in a few strokes.
"Young girl with beautiful face, are you willing to die like this?" Hu Tianwei forced a joke.
Cai Zhao said calmly, "My great-uncle Cai Changfeng died together with Elder Tianxuan back then, without any fear. In order to kill Nie Hengcheng, my aunt Cai Pingshu did not hesitate to use the magic of disintegrating demons to kill herself and sacrifice her life for her own life - the wise master and disciple thought that I would not be able to give up." I’m willing to give up my own life.”
Hu Tianwei's smile disappeared. He turned to look at his master and found that he was also silent.
If it were anyone else, their master and disciple might not be willing to believe that the other party would risk his life or death; but if it were someone else, they would believe it 90% of the time without realizing it.
"It doesn't matter whether I die or not. What matters is that your master and disciple will be very embarrassed in the future without the saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast." Cai Zhao smiled like a flower, "Of course, if you can find the Snow Scale Dragon Beast, you can also get it. Saliva. But..."
She raised her head slightly, as if looking towards the top of the mountain outside the house, "The last time people really saw the Snow Scale Dragon was a hundred and sixty years ago. Although there were many rumors later that they heard the cry of the Snow Scale Dragon, but After all, it’s just a rumor. By the way, what did the informant tell you? How did he know that Snow Scale Dragon Beast appeared?”
"What kind of eyeliner!" Hu Tianwei couldn't hold his breath.
Cai Zhao: "That's the shopkeeper who died in the inn. Wasn't he your spy at the foot of the mountain?"
Duan Jiuxiu grinned: "The little girl is quite smart. Yes, Feng San (the shopkeeper) is our spy. He got a scale from a mountain man. I took it to Jin Baohui to see if it was the scale of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast." Fake!"
Cai Zhao chuckled softly, "What did I think it was? It was just scales. Maybe the strange beast would have died long ago. Or, it flapped its wings and flew away long ago."
The girl laughed, "It would be easier to take the bottle of saliva in my hand."
Duan Jiuxiu gritted his teeth and gave in in desperation, taking a few steps back until he was close to the wall, right next to Zhou Zhiqin.
Hu Tianwei had no choice but to follow and said, "How on earth are you going to give us your saliva!"
Cai Zhao: "It's very simple, just kill Uncle Zhou."
Hu Tianwei was stunned, "You, what did you say?!"
Cai Zhao added, "To prevent you from cheating, I want you to cut off Uncle Zhou's head. When I see his head is missing, I will leave the jade bottle and leave."
The girl was as beautiful as a peach blossom, but she opened her mouth to cut people's heads. Even Hu Tianwei, who killed people at will, was horrified for a moment.
Zhou Zhiqin quickly hugged Duan Jiuxiu's legs and begged, "Don't, don't kill me, please..."
Duan Jiuxiu remained motionless and sneered: "She is indeed the little bitch raised by that bitch Cai Pingshu, she is as vicious as ever!"
Cai Zhao immediately darkened his face: "I suddenly don't want to live anymore, I want to die with you." After saying that, he pulled out the jade stopper from the bottle and poured out the saliva.
"No, no, no, stop, stop!" Hu Tianwei shouted repeatedly, "You have something to say, why are you so crazy!"
Cai Zhao said with a cold face: "I don't want to hear any disrespectful words about my aunt again."
Hu Tianwei broke out in a sweat: "My master is talking nonsense... Ah no, my master just said it casually, and did not mean to belittle my aunt! Besides, your aunt almost wiped out all of our family back then, so it would be weird if we didn't scold her." !”
Seeing that Cai Zhao was going to pour the jade bottle again, Hu Tianwei had no choice but to relent, "Okay, okay, we'll just leave it alone, we'll leave it alone!"
Cai Zhao then put the cork back on the bottle.
Duan Jiuxiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't bluff, I'm really in a hurry... Humph, I don't necessarily want this saliva, but you have to die!"
Cai Zhao shook his head, "Even if I have to die, the wise master and disciple will definitely die worse than me - the great precept of the demon sect, no one outside the sect is allowed to practice as a disciple, and those who violate it will be punished and die. What are they? Where is the punishment..."
She recalled the scary story Mu Qingyan told her in the middle of the night, "A hundred years ago, someone secretly practiced Demonic Kung Fu. After being caught, he lit a sky lantern. It is said that a small fire was used, and it took two days to roast him before he died. At that time, people shrank by half and were roasted to death.”
"Seventy years ago, there was a bold man from the Si Qi sect who sneaked into the demon sect and stole martial arts. He was killed by Ling Chi. He must have been stabbed more than a thousand times. His whole body was completely cut off. It is said that he could still breathe."
"More than fifty years ago, a desperate gangster broke the precepts again. The Demon Sect's torture hall used a red-hot iron to penetrate his body. He screamed for three days and three nights before he died..."
"That's enough, stop talking!" The flesh on Hu Tianwei's horrified cheeks couldn't help shaking.
"You masters and disciples have been expelled from the Demon Cult." Cai Zhao looked calm, but in his heart he was disgusted with the Demon Cult's criminal methods, and secretly scolded Mu Qingyan, that bastard, for scaring people for nothing.
"...If it is known that you are not only trying to steal skills, but also stealing Nie Hengcheng's magical skills, I will be very curious about what will happen to you, master and disciple."
Duan Jiuxiu's face was extremely ugly, and he kicked away Zhou Zhiqin who was still begging, "Kill you, no one will even know that I am still alive." As he spoke, there was a strong murderous look in his eyes.
Cai Zhao smiled softly and asked, "Why don't you ask me where my 'brother' went? He obviously escaped too."
Duan Jiuxiu was startled and stopped, "Where did your brother go?"
"Wrong again, you should first ask Uncle Zhou if I have a brother." Cai Zhao's attitude was kind.
Duan Jiuxiu endured his anger, and glanced at Zhou Zhiqin. Zhou Zhiqin quickly said: "No, no. Cai Zhao only has one younger brother, and there is no elder brother above him."
"Then who is he?" Hu Tianwei asked.
"Of course he is my guard." Cai Zhao said, "Master Yan was slightly injured just now, so he went down the mountain first on my order. He knows everything that should be known. Whether I come back or not, he will definitely not give Xian Master and disciple cover it up.”
"He will leave you alone on the mountain?" Hu Tianwei wondered.
Cai Zhao said calmly: "I am his master, so a slave must obey his master."
——This reason won the trust of Master and Disciple Hu Tianwei.
Duan Jiuxiu's face was full of evil spirits: "In other words, in a few days, everyone in the divine religion will know that I am still in the human world?"
Cai Zhao nodded, "Yes, so you must have the saliva of this Snow Scale Dragon Beast. Only it can save the lives of your master and disciple."
Hu Tianwei became increasingly nervous and at a loss.
Duan Jiuxiu suddenly smiled, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. All these things like stealing merit are all sent by your Beichen Six Sect to frame me. Your aunt failed to kill me back then, and now she wants to instigate the divine sect to kill me. In the sect, Brother won’t be fooled so easily.”
Cai Zhao knew that he would not admit defeat easily, so he immediately said, "Okay, let's have a good talk."
"Ever since I saw you in the inn, I have always been very surprised by the difficulties and dangers on this journey - your masters and disciples, Chen Fuguang, Jin Baohui, Lan Tianyu, Uncle Zhou and Dongfang Xiao, obviously can't hit one out of eight. What is the reason for you to work together to adventure in the snowy mountains?"
"It wasn't until Jin Baohui revealed in the ice cave that what he did was the saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast, and Elder Duan's identity was exposed, I had a vague idea. And as this idea became clearer, Uncle Zhou and Dongfang Xiao... Can’t hide it anymore.”
She glanced at Zhou Zhiqin on the ground with disdain, and continued: "In terms of time, the Qingfeng Guan massacre happened first. I guess that when Elder Duan massacred Qingfeng Guan, Dongfang Xiao was not lucky enough to escape, but the elder showed mercy."
Duan Jiuxiu smiled sarcastically: "Yes, Qingfeng Temple, regardless of gender or age, is a hard-core person. I was just bored of killing when I suddenly encountered a weakling. I was so frightened that I wet my pants and didn't say anything. He knelt down and kowtowed, begging me not to kill him! Hahaha , I left him alive, thinking that it might be useful in the future."
"The elder is really far-sighted, but he put it to use later." Cai Zhao said sarcastically, "My aunt led people to eliminate the elder's disciples and gang members one by one, and finally caught the elder - if my guess is right, it was Dongfang Xiao who secretly Use your hands and feet to let the elder escape with his life."
Duan Jiuxiu showed his yellow teeth and said, "Although that coward has no talent, he has a good mind. His senior brother, Taoist Yunzhuan, was already dead at that time. He was the only one left in Qingfeng Temple, so Cai Pingshu handed me over to him. Coward then He said he wanted me to be tortured to death, and proposed that I be sunk into the crocodile pool and bitten to death, and at the same time secretly sent the message."
"In one day and one night, they took me to the crocodile pool. Tianwei also sent people to secretly dig a passage from the bottom of the mire. After I was tied with stones and thrown into the crocodile pool, Tianwei immediately rescued me. , and at the same time put a male corpse with similar clothes and body shape. When the crocodile eats the corpse in pieces and floats with some residual limbs, it will be over. "
"Scum!" Cai Zhao was very angry when he thought that his aunt's hard work was in vain at the hands of despicable villains.
After feeling comfortable, she continued, "Then came the death of Chen Shu. After his Five Poison Palm was broken by my aunt, he has been in panic all day long. I heard that although Nie Hengcheng was cruel to outsiders, he was very kind to his own people. I Guess, he felt sorry for his disciple who suffered a huge loss, so he taught him the magical skill he had newly learned... Elder Duan, is that so?"
Duan Jiuxiu said: "That's right. Nie Hengcheng is nothing, but he treats his four disciples as his own sons. Chen Shu is a loser. He is unwilling to patiently practice superior martial arts. Instead, he practices Five Poison Palm in order to become famous as soon as possible. Kung Fu cannot be cultivated on the table. Huh, since ancient times, there has been no shortcut in martial arts training. I deserve to have Cai Pingshu destroy my life-saving Kung Fu!"
"Originally, nothing would happen if he huddled in the Netherworld and practiced martial arts with all his heart. However, he had a bad temper and couldn't stand being provoked. He took the risk of leaving the religion for a trivial matter. As a result, the people of Peiqiong Villa spied on his whereabouts."
Cai Zhao nodded: "That's right. That time Chen Shu brought many demon sect masters with him, and Peiqiong Villa also lost a lot of money in order to kill this thief."
At this point, she suddenly looked at the ground, "Uncle Zhou, speaking of which, you are the source of everything. Without you, these messy things would not have happened, and your only son would not have died."
"No, no, no, no..." Zhou Zhiqin covered his wound, his face turned pale, and after meeting Cai Zhao's cold gaze, he admitted sullenly, "Yes, it's all me."
Cai Zhao continued, "Uncle Zhou is Uncle Zhou's right-hand man. After all the demon sect thieves are killed, Uncle Zhou will be the one to deal with the aftermath. I guess Uncle Zhou found something on Chen Shu's body. Well, a letter?" She stared closely at Zhou Zhiqin.
