Chapter 24 [Black Hand Appears]
Three days later, at noon, a rider was leisurely rushing into the forest on the northern foot of Longyuan Mountain.
As soon as you enter the dense forest, the shade of trees covering the sky and the sun blocks the heat of autumn tigers outside the forest, and both people and horses feel comfortable.
The knight took off the sun hat and revealed his true face. It was Luo Xiao.
"Fortunately I didn't walk on the official road, otherwise it would be great." Luo Xiao opened his hands and closed his eyes to feel the cool breeze blowing towards him, deeply grateful for his decision.
From Yishui City to Baicao City, there is a formal official road, so there was no need to turn here. However, since he was going to travel far, Luo Xiao planned to go into the mountain to pick a batch of fresh red jade grass to enter the fairy stone cave. But considering that the Longyuan Mountain area is now a place of trouble, he could only turn to the forest on the northern foot of the mountain to pick it.
Longyuan Mountain is not just a mountain, but a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. Except for the forest in Longtan with various spiritual beasts in a deep valley and radius of hundreds of miles, which is very dangerous, the other branches are much less dangerous. Of course, without the protection of spirit beasts, the rare grasses have basically been drawn, but there are still quite a few ordinary herbs.
Luo Xiao had no requirements for the year of the red jade grass. One leaf is OK or two leaf. Anyway, throwing it into the Xianshi Cave Heaven will sooner or later have eight leaves. It just so happened that he was going to Baicao City and needed to bypass the northern foot of Longyuan Mountain, so he turned one more corner and went into the mountain to pick a batch of red jade grass to prepare for the century-old meat spirit stone auxiliary medicine "produced" by Xianshi Cave Heaven.
The auxiliary medicine of Red Jade Grass is still very common. Luo Xiao only took more than half an hour to pick seven or eight plants, basically one leaf, only one leaf and two leaves.
Luo Xiao threw them all into the fairy stone cave, then fed the horse a few handfuls of beans, drank water, tied the reins, and sat under the roots of the tree to eat a chicken with lotus leaves that had been packed in the morning. As if he was four or five minutes full, Luo Xiao slowly got up and cleaned his hands, wiped them dry, then took off the hunting bow from the saddle, hung the arrow bag around his waist, then pulled out an arrow and put it on the bow handle, slowly walked to an open area in the woods, and said loudly: "It's very hard to follow this hot day, come out and show off."
The air was quiet for a moment, and a man in black wearing a hat flashed after a tree twenty feet away in front of him. He walked step by step and tsk in a tsk voice: "Awesome! It's really amazing! You can discover this way, and you have a big secret."
A look of astonishment flashed in Luo Xiao's eyes, and he quickly raised his bow and aimed: "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
The man in black shook his head: "I am not following you, but waiting for you here."
Luo Xiao's pupils shrank, and he remembered the fierce battle three days ago. Needless to say, someone must have leaked his whereabouts - this martial arts temple is really a sieve and can't hold anything.
Although there is only one man in black, it gives Luo Xiao the feeling that it is more dangerous than the combined mountain bear and mountain leopard. In addition, the sound is strange and it sounds a bit familiar...
Luo Xiao pulled the bowstring away, the arrow locked the other party firmly, his mind turned rapidly, and said in a deep voice: "Wild Warrior, no matter who revealed the news to you, he must have not told you. Just three days ago, a Xuanshu and a Wild Warrior asked me to block the door. Now, their grave should be arched."
The man in black laughed sneered: "Luo Xiao, Luo Xiao, you must not know. That night, I saw it from beginning to end on the big tree at Balitunkou. I have to say, you are really good. I haven't seen such an outstanding disciple in Yishui Martial Arts Hall for a long time."
Luo Xiao's hair stood up, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart. Moreover, he keenly discovered a flaw in the words of the man in black: "It seems that you have a deep understanding of Yishui Martial Arts Hall, may you be..."
The man in black seemed to chuckled: "Okay, okay, the reaction is indeed very sharp. You don't have to mess with my words. Since I have appeared today, I am not afraid of you knowing it. To tell you the truth, I not only know a lot about the martial arts temple, but also have a deeper understanding of your secrets."
Luo Xiao's heart suddenly jumped and pretended to be relaxed: "My secret? I am just an ordinary disciple of the martial arts temple. What's the secret to it?"
The man in black raised his finger on his chest and shook it gently: "Otherwise, a month ago, you were indeed just an ordinary disciple, but since the surprise change of Longtan, you have achieved amazing encounters, everything has changed."
Luo Xiao was creepy and his back felt cold. Something was wrong! It was very wrong! This man in black was not like the first two groups of wild warriors, but like someone who knew him well...
Luo Xiao pulled the bowstrings all over: "Who are you?"
The man in black said to himself: "Do you know? I originally didn't plan to do it directly. This is too risky, and I don't know what kind of adventure you have. It happened that a large number of wild warriors appeared in Yishui City, so I chose to leak your news, let those wild warriors explore the wind for me, and I found another opportunity to take action. However, your situation is too powerful. In just one month, a low-level martial artist of the second-level martial arts jumped several levels, and even killed a fifth-level wild warrior and a Xuanshu. Awesome! So awesome! I dare not wait any longer, otherwise you might come back from the mission and maybe you will be promoted to a Xuanshu. By then, it will not be me who kills you, but you will kill me."
Luo Xiao gritted his teeth, and banged out from his teeth: "You, finally, who is it!"
The man in black suddenly said, "It's better to do this. If you want to be a wise ghost, then tell me what you got in Longtan. How?"
Luo Xiao's expression remained unmoved: "Since you were there that night, you should have seen it."
The man in black laughed and said, "If you don't say secret words in front of the Mingren, don't tell me, you only have a few dragon scales."
Luo Xiao took a deep breath: "It's true that there are more than a few dragon scales. As for the others, you can take them from my body by killing me - but, Deacon kills the student, are you really sure you want to do this? Tan, Zhi, Shi!"
"Did you hear it? Well..." The man in black pressed his hand on the edge of the hat and slowly took it off. A piece of his face with a green knife appeared in front of him.
Yishui Xiuwu Temple Deacon Tan Liu!
At this moment, all questions were answered.
Luo Xiao shook his head and slowly exhaled the long breath that had inhaled into his lungs: "Deacon Tan, do you know what you are doing? Once someone knows that you are a deacon in the martial arts hall but attack your disciples, you will not only be ruined, but also implicate Yishui's martial arts hall. Which family and which parent dares to send their children to the martial arts hall in the future?"
Tan Liu said lightly: "Of course I know what I am doing, so I haven't done it until you leave Yishui City and come to this wilderness. Isn't this a good place to destroy corpses and die without evidence?"
Luo Xiao said that it was the reason why Tan Liu was confused before. If he were just a wild samurai, he would have taken action against Luo Xiao long ago. Considering his identity, he must be foolproof and must not be suspicious. He has a bright future, but he cannot be ruined for an opportunity that he still can't figure out.
However, after many tests, Tan Liu has now confirmed that the secret of this disciple of the martial arts temple is worth taking this risk, and the other party's move from Lecheng gave him an excellent opportunity to get a mobile phone, so he will not wait any longer. Today, he must seize this opportunity!
"Tell you a secret." Tan Liu smiled indifferently, "I released the mission in Baicao City."
Luo Xiao took a deep breath: "I will tell you a secret, I actually didn't find you. With my shout, there is another person - two senior brothers, when will I wait until I haven't appeared?!"
After drinking, Luo Xiao quickly turned around and the strings. The arrow flew into the dense forest a hundred steps away, with a sharp roar. In the middle, a big beehive hanging on the tree branch.
