The figure of Shen Xiu, who was completely shocked, suddenly sprang out like a leopard, heading towards the Jinhong Martial Arts Hall in the upper section of Lishui River.
He didn't care about other people, but Duan Jiaoxiu, who was really good to him, there was no way he could just watch him step into the tiger's mouth.
With the bonus of the three levels of bone-cutting cultivation, Shen Xiu's speed was no longer as fast as before, and the crackling sound in his bones was really like sparks and lightning all the way.
Soon, Shen Xiu rushed to the martial arts hall, crossed the gate and rushed in.
As soon as he entered, Shen Xiu was a little stunned.
The martial arts hall was quiet and quiet, and the huge martial arts training ground was empty and deserted, but there was a crowded scene as he imagined.
After thinking for a moment, he rushed into Duan Jiaoxi's courtyard. When he opened the door, no one was there. He changed to another teaching courtyard again, but no one was there yet. Several teachers and many disciples had left without knowing when.
"Where are they? Where have they gone?"
In confusion, Chen Xiu saw a disciple in the gym walking past the martial arts training ground, and immediately stepped forward to catch him and ask.
However, the disciple also looked at him in astonishment.
"Where are we going? Of course we are going to Baihu Ridge! We have already set off at three o'clock in the ugly hour!"
"How could it be Chou Shi Sanji? Didn't we promise Yin Shi before?"
"Then I don't know. I only know that our host temporarily changed the time and set off early."
Chen Xiu stood there for a while. He really didn't expect such an operation, and he missed it magnificently.
He was almost certain that Hall Master Yang might not only have practiced magic attacks, but he might also be colluding with the Red Fire Pirate Sect.
Immediately, Chen Xiu no longer hesitated, returned to his room, took out the Hundred Refined Sword in the room and rushed out again.
…
Half an hour later, in the Baihuling Valley, the mountain wind howled under the moonlight.
With a faint sound, Shen Xiu pushed aside a patch of grass and appeared in the middle of a lush green grassland.
The location of Chihuo Village is deep in this mountain range. Shen Xiu didn't know the exact location, but he had a rough idea of what Hall Leader Yang said yesterday.
Now, all he can do is search for the memories in his mind and see if there are any traces left on the ground to see if he can keep up with the large army ahead.
But there was a slight deviation. He tried his best to rush forward, but he didn't even see the queue.
Shen Xiu could only guess that he had strayed from the path.
Otherwise, he would not be unable to catch up with his own foot strength, but there was nothing he could do. He could only find a feeling and rush in one direction.
As I walked, I suddenly noticed that the place I was walking in was getting more and more remote and strange.
When he passed through a jungle and entered a depression, Chen Xiu suddenly found that he had stepped into a village inexplicably.
He seemed to hear voices and immediately hid in the bushes on a high slope nearby.
Looking out through the branches, one can clearly see the general situation of a village in the mountain col.
This village is located in a mountain depression, surrounded by tall mountains on both sides, leaving only a mouth to the south.
The strong village gate, tied with thick wood, stood condescendingly in front of Aokou.
No matter entering or exiting, you must pass through here.
As for him, he got in from the slope of the fence in a remote corner, which is still in the center.
As for the crowd.
Shen Xiu observed it.
It was discovered that more people were in the wooden houses deep in the mountain col, and they could vaguely see people gathering around eating meat and drinking wine.
From time to time there is the sound of drinking and guessing, and the sound of laughter and curses can be faintly conveyed through the air.
Observing intently.
Seeing those vague clothes that matched the previous visitors from Lijiazhuang, who could they be if they weren't the Red Fire Thieves?
It was not that he failed to catch up with the large army in front, but that he inexplicably entered the Red Fire Stronghold ahead of schedule. Shen Xiu was a little convinced of his luck, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
In the open space behind the village gate ahead, there were one or two bonfires simply burning, with a few lazy red fire bandits nearby drinking.
From time to time, someone would come over to replace it and take turns drinking.
The people in the Red Fire Village were noisy and lively. Before dawn, a banquet was almost eerily started, as if to celebrate the newly opened Fat Sheep.
"Brother... your poop is a bit long!"
A drunken red fire thief stood up from the trash can road nearby, looked at Shen Xiu with hazy eyes and said.
Before he could continue, Shen Xiu stepped forward and crushed the other person's throat with a crack.
Dragging the corpse into the shadows, Shen Xiu directly changed into the other person's clothes. He found that the other person was still carrying a straw hat on his back, so he immediately took it off and put it on his head, with the brim of the hat low.
There happened to be red fire thieves passing by at this time, so he walked to a bonfire and picked up an empty bowl on the ground.
Seeing the red fire thief who was pouring wine looking over, he handed it out without any surprise, "Give me some too."
Chihuo Pian, who was pouring wine, glanced at him, and while filling him with wine, he said, "Brother, you can't even drink enough to be energetic, right?"
Shen Xiu lowered the brim of his hat, as if it was covering his entire face. In addition, he was imitating the drunken Red Fire Bandit just now, so he behaved very much like him.
"Damn it...they got up and drank in the middle of the night. How can they be energetic?"
When he complained like this, there was a burst of laughter from the people next to him.
Shen Xiu picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, feeling that the blood all over his body was heating up at this moment.
"one more bowl."
The man poured him another bowl and said, "Brother, why do you order noodles?"
Shen Xiu drank the second bowl of wine and imitated the other person's accent and said, "What happened? I just came here a few days ago, and my brother-in-law asked me to do it well."
"Your brother-in-law is very discerning. He has a great future working with our boss."
Shen Xiu continued speaking smoothly, "I was in a daze in the middle of the night, and I didn't even know what to do?"
"Hehehehe, you kid didn't know that someone would send us a 'dart' tonight."
At this moment, Shen Xiu's mind moved. Just when he was about to ask what escort he was, he saw a little boss walking over with a bowl of food.
Without looking at it, he handed it to Shen Xiudao with his hat brim hanging down.
"Don't be a escort. Go and deliver a bowl of rice to the man in that room. That guy is also a man. He can persist until now. Let him eat and send him on his way later."
Chen Xiu saw that there was no one around the house, so he happily took over the little boss's job and walked towards the house.
Opening the door, there was a skinny man sitting on a wooden shelf among the hay in the dilapidated house.
The man lowered his head and could not see his face.
Due to being bound by iron chains for many years, his body had a layer of black blood scabs on his wrists and ankles, making him look particularly miserable.
Chen Xiu knelt down and put down the bowl and chopsticks. When he looked up, he saw a face he had never expected.
