Bailang removed the stone armor technique from his body, and three holes appeared in front of him.
The openings on the chest and left ribs are more than five inches long, two points into the flesh. The injuries on the thick chest and abdomen can only be regarded as broken skin and are not worth mentioning. The really dangerous thing is the opening in the throat, which is nearly three inches long. Although it only penetrates a little, it still makes people feel frightened. This position could accidentally cut off the trachea and damage the artery. In that case, Bailang's current level of cultivation would be enough to survive. Can't.
"I was careless. I didn't expect that Gao Fei could use the combined attack technique to explode with such intensity of sword light at the last moment. If it weren't for the stone armor technique on his neck being slightly thicker than the rest of his body, I wouldn't have been able to tell." Bai Lang touched it. The bleeding wound on his neck had stopped, but it was still a bit bigger before I reflected on it.
But it was a near miss. It was originally an act of killing, how could it be possible that everything was planned? Variations are normal. As long as the final result is good, these variables will naturally turn into experience and be used in the next killing to slowly become stronger.
He calmed down his almost stagnant heartbeat at that moment, and was mentally stimulated by the coming attack. Even though Bai Lang thought he was sure of victory before, he still felt the passing of life and death at the last moment of the attack. Although this was not the first time, Bailang still could not face such a matter of life and death without changing his expression.
Maybe it will take some more experience. It should be fine by then when the numbness subsides.
"Huh!" He breathed a long sigh of relief. Bailang lowered his head and looked around, then put the short knife back into its sheath after a moment.
Three heads, three pools of blood. Bailang didn't even recognize two of them until now.
But it doesn't matter, it's a good thing if they all die.
Bailang thought for a while, and finally did not dispose of the body, but continued on his way. It is not easy to deal with three corpses. Whether they are buried or burned, it will take a lot of time. Rather than doing this, it would be better to abandon it in the wild, and the wild beasts from the mountains will come to clean up the mess here. Anyway, if you can't leave no clues, just let nature take its course. Bailang was not worried about being discovered about this matter. If he directly denied it then, who else could forcefully accuse him?
This incident is of a completely different nature from the previous deaths of clay figurines and Li Jiang and others. The one in front doesn't dare to get involved, because if the opponent is strong and you are weak, something will happen if you get involved, and you don't dare to bet that others can't beat him, so you need to plan your way out in advance. And Gao Fei is just a red swordsman from Lin Yue Knife Hall. Life and death are too ordinary for people on the road. Moreover, the Tang Sword Hall where Bai Lang was working was actually against it. What are you afraid of? We all have the same strength, are we still afraid that you will bite me to death?
Leaving the mountain col where the murderer and corpse were abandoned, Bailang continued to follow the direction pointed by Huang Yi. It would take another hour to see what Huang Yi called "a rocky and bare mountain to the north of Yongchuan City."
Rock Mountain is not big, but it is still difficult to find the treasure spot mentioned by Huang Yi. Even with Huang Yi's description of the location, Bailang still searched for more than half an hour before he found the correct location. Digging out a tin box.
A full 30% of the box was wrapped tightly in oilcloth.
After completely opening it, there was the twenty-three gold and fifty-one silver that Huang Yi mentioned. With the bright yellow and white eyes in front of him, Bai Lang had the most direct experience of the "charming eyes of wealth and brocade" for the first time. This was much more shocking and much more than the large sum of money that Liu She had used to show off in the money shop.
And there was not only yellow and white money in the oilcloth, but also a roll of animal skin.
Bailang picked up the animal skin scroll and unfolded it. It was a hand-drawn map. It looked like it was drawn by an outsider. It was very simple, but there were many words as annotations and helpful guidance. It was still possible to barely see clearly that what Huang Yi had said on the map was The location of the Lingshi Mine: Biankou Mountain outside Shuangqing City.
"How to go up the mountain, where is the most suitable mountain entrance, and how to walk and turn when entering the maze after going up the mountain. Although this picture is rough, it also explains everything that needs to be said clearly. If there is no fraud, then you can find it if you have this map. That spiritual stone mine is not difficult.
Um? this is? "
After looking at the map and the number of ways in and out of the maze, Bai Lang also saw a strange circular pattern and a name at the end of the animal skin scroll.
The pattern is a circle composed of patches of cloud patterns. The painting style is the same as the previous map. It is very rough, but it allows you to understand what the painting is. In the middle of the pattern, most of a crescent moon protrudes from the clouds. There are two special-shaped fonts on the right side of the crescent moon near the edge of the pattern.
"Yun Yi?"
Bai Lang frowned slightly, the word "Yun Yi" seemed to indicate the origin of this pattern. This reminded him of something he had seen many times in Yongchuan City: coat of arms.
Generally speaking, coats of arms are something used by some big businesses or families to make them eye-catching. The sword shop also has its own coat of arms, which is on the front of the belt badge.
If this pattern is really a heraldry as Bai Lang guessed, it is also pictured together with the map where the mine is located, which undoubtedly shows that it is also closely related to the mine.
"Could it be the coat of arms of the force to which the mine belongs?" Bailang only thought of this possibility.
Bailang rummaged around the "treasure" for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing else here, he packed the iron box, wrapped the baggage he brought with him, wrapped it around his back, and then chose another road to return to Yongchuan City. , but still did not choose to take the official road and continue to travel through the mountains and forests relying on physical skills.
The time for this trip was not much different from Bailang's previous estimate. It was already late at night when we returned to Yongchuan City. Find a suitable place to hide the money. Bai Lang did not sleep anymore, but meditated and practiced until dawn.
For several days after that, Bailang followed the plan step by step. But the news about Gao Fei has reached his ears.
Gao Fei disappeared, along with two of Gao Fei's generals. Before they disappeared, Gao Fei and the other three had left the city, and they were with someone. Who are you following?
At first, the people at Lin Knife Hall still hid it, but how can there be an airtight wall in the world? Soon the news was leaked out, saying that Gao Fei left the city to follow someone and avenge his nephew.
So Bailang's name once again resounded on the streets of Yongchuan City. Even serious traders on the street know the name Bai Zhentang.
"You really didn't kill him?"
"Master Snake, it's really not true. How much ability do I have? Gao Fei is a three-person team, and I can only run away if any one of them is there."
Although Liu She also felt that the news from the outside was unreliable, could this boy Bai Lang kill a killer like Gao Fei with one against three? It doesn't make sense. The only explanation is that the Lin Knife Hall deliberately framed and disrupted the audience. But Bailang did leave the city that day, and Bailang was always unexpected, so he couldn't help but ask more questions.
Seeing Bai Lang's helpless explanation, Liu She laughed and patted the other party's shoulder, changed the subject and said: "Okay, it's okay if you don't have to be a fool. Recently, you have made the brothers below cheer up and show off in the field. Keep a low profile when you are outside, and don’t be too aggressive when talking. Especially to strangers you have never met before.”
"Master Snake, is there any big shot coming?" Bai Lang asked curiously. This situation also happened a few months ago when the blood guards of the state capital came.
"Yes. There is indeed a big shot coming this time. I don't know the specific origin, but it is definitely better than the state capital. Because it is said that the military leaders of the state capital must accompany them. At first glance, they are here to clear the way for others."
More powerful than the state capital? The military leader of the state government clears the way? Could it be someone from the upper dynasty? Bai Lang thought in surprise.
