Chapter 16 Chapter 45: Polygonum Polygoni Multiflori

The team stopped suddenly when they were less than ten meters in front of us. Both Za Mao Xiaodao and I know that if we look directly at each other, it will give people a sense of uneasiness in focus, and it is likely to be exposed, so we can only resist the idea of ​​looking up, instead of looking over, we only use peripheral vision to scan.My heart couldn't stop beating wildly. God knows how they came so fast. Could it be that they had already locked our location and rushed over immediately after receiving the notification from Laojun Pavilion? The old man with few hairs on his head, Xu Xiumei, looked at Mao Tongzhen who raised his hand to signal to stop, and asked, "Old Mao, why did you stop?" Mao Tongzhen looked around, his nose twitched, and then asked a person by name: " Xia Yuxin, do you feel their presence?"

A tall and thin man in a black tunic came forward, took out a small red copper windmill from his arms, and placed it on top of his head.The windmill rotated, emitting a faint yellow light from time to time.With this yellow light, I can see carefully.This thin and tall young man turned out to be the guy who appeared with Huang Pengfei and Cao Yanjun in the basement of Dongguan Wanhao Plaza.I probably remember that he and Huang Pengfei are brothers from the same sect, and they both came from the sect of Yang Kunpeng, who is second only to the elder brother in strength. I heard Cao Yanjun mention him once, and it seems that he returned to Maoshan sect to practice again not long after that incident. up.Did not expect to see him here again.

He was probably forced into the hunting team by Yang Zhixiu because of his previous dealings with us, right? I don't have a deep impression of him. He seems to be a very low-key person. Huang Pengfei stole all the limelight that day.After being named by Mao Tongzhen, Xia Yuxin raised the windmill, then retracted it, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to Elder Mao, there is indeed a demonic presence here. If the 'testing demon's spirit' shows that it is correct, then they should have just passed by here. , as long as we continue to move forward, I believe they will never escape our grasp."

Hearing Xia Yuxin's words, Mao Tongzhen said a few "good" words in succession, and he was in a good mood. He turned to Xu Xiumei and said, "Since December, these two boys have used a magic weapon that can breathe in water. escaped for the first time. After several turnarounds, he actually broke through the siege and ran here. If we let them escape this time, I am afraid that we will cross the border at the place where we will be arrested next time, and go to Nanyang who play with corpses and bugs all day long. The head-subduing master has dealt with each other. So we must arrest these two people this time!"

Xu Xiumei looked at the darkness in front of him faintly, and the corner of his mouth seemed to be proud: "I'm here, and they won't be able to escape if they enter the water again!" For more than a month, Mao Tongzhen suffered repeated setbacks. When he heard this, he was overjoyed and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Xu." Xu Xiumei waved his hands humbly and said, this is a matter of duty, and there is no need for seniors to be polite. The two were modest and satisfied, and continued to chase forward.After walking for a while, Zamao Xiaodao and I stood out from the grass.I lowered my head to look at the little demon, and knew that they were mainly chasing the demon energy at this moment, and both the little demon and Dodo had the aura of spirits that turned plants into spirits, so they were traced and tracked down.

Xiao Yao is also very clear.She actually proposed that she release the breath and lead the pursuers away. Her proposal aroused unanimous opposition from me and Miscellaneous Xiaodao.I scratched her hair with a smile, and said, "Come on, it's okay if you can't catch it. If you catch it, then you and I, Uncle Xiao, won't try our best to throw ourselves into the trap?" Without further ado, I put Xiao Yao and Dodo into the six-pointed star fine gold necklace and the locust wood plaque respectively, and then turned to the miscellaneous hair path and walked in another direction.

This place is in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains, with towering and undulating mountains, deep and dense forests, and difficult roads.Breaking away from the ready-made road of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and the guidance of the two blossoms, we walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.We were very excited when we heard the sound of slow water flowing in the distance, and ran forward, only to find that just a mountain stream just over our ankles was not enough to hide our breath.But where there is water, there is a source. We decided to head upstream. If there is an undercurrent in the mountains, we may be able to hide in it and avoid the limelight.

Even though the pursuers are close at hand, Zamao Xiaodao and I are still in a calm mood.You know, in the dark night, among the vast mountains, it is very difficult to find not only two people, but also an army that is deliberately hidden. We walked up the stream for about half an hour, and suddenly the miscellaneous hair path pulled my arm and dragged it towards the grass next to it.I don't understand what it means, but I still take advantage of the situation and hide it.As soon as he squatted down, he saw Mao Tongzhen and Xia Yuxin rushing out from the slope and chasing forward.My heart skipped a beat. I didn't expect that we would be overtaken by them after a distance of more than ten miles. What is the reason?

In the silent night, we didn't dare to talk, we just communicated with our eyes, but I also saw confusion in the eyes of Zamao Xiaodao. Could it be... the thing that the senior brother gave me was tricky? I looked at the escapism ring that Zamao Xiaodao held tightly in his right hand. This bronze ring was inspired by him, and it continuously emitted an aura that matched the surrounding energy field, covering us, continuously and without stopping. There is no problem with the escapism ring, so what is it that exposed our position?Mao Tongzhen and Xia Yuxin also walked quickly, their figures flew by, making a "swipe" sound with the vegetation in the forest, chasing in the direction we were originally going, and disappeared after a while.I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead, poked Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao, and said, what is the origin of that Xia Yuxin, who is so good at tracking?

Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao shook his head, saying he didn't know. When he left Maoshan, Xia Yu had only been a newcomer for a year or two, and in his memory he was a listless kid who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks.As for the windmill in his hand, it seems to be owned by a senior of the Maoshan Sect called "Thousand Miles Alone". It is a magic weapon used to search for evil spirits, and it looks similar to the black bead in Sun Jing's aunt's hand. I swallowed and said, what about Xu Xiumei?What kind of ability does the so-called Elder Shuigui have to say the big words "Even if they get into the water, they can be captured alive"?

Zamao Xiaodao smiled wryly, and said, he didn't talk big. Before I left Maoshan, he was already the number one character in Maoshan.It is said that he has developed scuba training and can stay in the water for three days and three nights without stopping. I was shocked, and said, are you kidding me, how could a person stay in the water for so long without such a heaven-defying magic weapon like Tian Wuzhu? Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao said disdainfully: "Look at your eyelids. Isn't the so-called practice the deepest discovery of the mysteries of the human body? People come from the water, and they can dive deep in ancient memories. Those with extraordinary talents are like those in the waves." Baitiao Zhangshun said, "I stayed under the water for seven days and seven nights, and walked in the water like a white strip". I have been away from home for a few days, and I wonder if the eyebrow grooming master can be better than that talented person. But I know. But one thing is certain, that is, even in the water, it will be a fierce battle, and it is inevitable!" When he said this, while I was surprised, I was also praying that I would not meet that elder Shuigui who looked like a fish. We all estimated the time when Mao Tongzhen and Xia Yuxin left, and we were about to get up to leave, when suddenly there was another burst of eager footsteps from the direction they disappeared, which made our hearts rise again involuntarily.If something goes wrong, it must be a demon. What the hell is going on? Could it be that Xia Yuxin has really shown us that we have nowhere to hide? Thinking of this, Zamao Xiaodao and I couldn't help but feel a little terrified. If so, we'd better run away and fight them directly.Just when the two of us were gritting our teeth and preparing to go all out, a pale yellow light suddenly appeared at the end of our line of sight.It didn't move fast, jumping around like a rabbit, flickering, but in this dark night, it was still very clear. The yellow light was advancing along the stream, getting closer and closer to us. Although I didn't know what it was, I suddenly realized that it might not be us who exposed it. It was this yellow light that Mao Tongzhen and the others were chasing.Sure enough, a black shadow rushed from the end of the line of sight, like a falcon, look at this speed and figure, it was Mao Tongzhen who attacked us that night—come closer, it was really him. I saw an inexplicable excitement on his face, like a cheetah running at high speed, with only this yellow light in his eyes.The two were getting closer and closer, and the yellow light suddenly shook, ready to drill into the soil. Mao Tongzhen shouted loudly: "Yuxin..." A white ray of light shot out suddenly from behind him, hitting the land just right.At this moment, the yellow light froze, unable to enter again, creaked, and ran towards the direction where we were hiding.My spine was tense, tense to the extreme.Suddenly there was a whoosh, and the yellow light froze and stopped three meters before we hid in the grass. Hearing the sound of footsteps, we didn't dare to look any more, we crouched tightly on the ground, not daring to move. At this time, urgent footsteps came from the front, followed by a burst of careful handling. Mao Tongzhen seemed to put the thing away, and Xia Yuxin also approached, and asked with some surprise: "This is the mature Polygonum multiflorum." ?” Mao Tongzhen said yes, he lost the mulberry elm in the east, but he didn't expect that the two thieves didn't find it, but they came across this treasure. Xia Yuxin congratulated loudly, and Mao Tongzhen was a little complacent, saying, "This is really a profit. My scorching sun burns my body palm, the lone sun doesn't grow, and those ghosts can no longer be harmonious. With this, my bottleneck, We can break through again." Zamao Xiaodao and I listened silently, but when we heard the essence of Polygonum multiflorum, Zamao Xiaodao's body suddenly moved violently.
