Chapter 10 Chapter Ten: Scorpion and Snake

He had only reached this point when Zhuo Qingyu couldn't help shouting: "Stop talking!" The man was startled suddenly, and said, "What's the matter?" Zhuo Qingyu said slowly: "Shang Bing, the ice soul fairy, is dead." As soon as Zhuo Qingyu uttered these words, the cave suddenly fell silent, as quiet as a ghost, Zhuo Qingyu only regarded that person and Bingpo Fairy Shang Bing as close friends, after hearing the news of Shang Bing's death , must be very sad. Unexpectedly, after the man's complexion changed suddenly, he immediately returned to normal, his voice was also very calm, he smiled slightly, and said: "You must have made a mistake, she is on Bingqiao Island, covered with ten streaks of black ice. Stem, obviously it is a natural danger, everyone is sad, even the Asura God Lord, I am afraid it will be difficult to attack, why did she die so well?"

Zhuo Qingyu said: "Fairy Bingpo either died on the Ice Reef Island, or she died near Zengjiabao." The man was startled, and scolded: "Nonsense." Zeng Tianqiang responded behind that person: "It's true, she died under Mogu Ge Yan's 'Jiuquan Huangtu Hand', because she once set up a battle to stabilize Mogu Ge Yan." Zeng Tianqiang said again: "She pretended to be Ge Yan and entered Zengjiabao. She wanted to rescue us father and son when Zengjiabao was in disaster. That's why she offended Ge Yan, the devil." The man didn't wait for Zeng Tianqiang to finish his speech, he immediately reprimanded: "Nonsense, nonsense, I can't believe you are talking nonsense at such a young age."

Zeng Tianqiang couldn't help feeling angry, and said: "If you don't believe me, her Ice Soul God Net is still with me!" Zeng Tianqiang said as he took out the ice treasure, the Ice Soul God Net, and the God Net came out. A force forced him over, and then, with a tightening of his wrist, the net had been snatched away. I saw the man tightly grasping the Bing Po God Net, his body was shaking like chaff, his complexion was illuminated by the gloomy light, it didn't look like a human face no matter what. He trembled for a moment before saying: "Why did she come to the Central Plains again? Why? Why did she come to the Central Plains again? She came to look for me, to look for me, she came to look for me!"

When the man spoke up to this point, he was almost yelling loudly. Panting, he shouted again: "She came to me, why didn't I go to her? I knew she was on the ice island, why didn't I go to her? She died because of me, it was me." It was me who killed, it was me!" The more he screamed, the more frantic he became, and an extremely terrifying light shot out from his eyes. Both Zeng Tianqiang and Zhuo Qingyu involuntarily stepped back a few steps, not daring to get too close to him. The man screamed, and flew outwards as if he was running out, bringing up a gust of wind, the strong wind was still in the cave, crashing endlessly, the man was gone!

This change really baffled Zeng Tianqiang and Zhuo Qingyu!The two stayed for a while before looking at each other.When Zeng Tianqiang looked at her, the word "Miss Zhuo" was already called out, but Zhuo Qingyu sneered and turned around. Zhuo Qingyu thought, I have to ask you to humbly admit your mistake to me.However, as soon as Zhuo Qingyu turned around, Zeng Tianqiang shrank back even from that yell.After turning around, Zhuo Qingyu couldn't hear the sound for a long time, and was even more furious, with a "hum", kicked her foot, and the arrow seemed to be flying, and shot into the cave.

As soon as Zhuo Qingyu left, Zeng Tianqiang was the only one left in the cave. In an instant, Zeng Tianqiang felt helpless and extremely lost. He stayed there for a moment, then rushed towards the entrance of the cave.At this time, the heavy rain had stopped, but the rainwater accumulated on the ground and still flowed to the low-lying place. Zeng Tianqiang reached the entrance of the cave and called, "Miss Zhuo! Miss Zhuo!" Qingyu didn't know if he heard it and didn't answer it, or if he didn't hear it at all. The surroundings were deserted and he didn't get any answer at all. Zeng Tianqiang was very conflicted in his heart. If Zhuo Qingyu suddenly appeared at this time, he might turn around again. Go, ignore it, but Zhuo Qingyu is nowhere to be seen, yet he feels disappointed.

He stayed there for a while before walking forward. When he was with Zhuo Qingyu that day, Zhuo Qingyu made all decisions on where to go, but now he was only alone, and he felt even more at a loss.Aimless and with a heavy heart, he walked forward for three or five miles, and the sky was about to light up.At this moment, he suddenly heard a whimpering sound coming from the front. The bursts of crying that came intermittently can be regarded as extremely sad. Zeng Tianqiang was already extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and when he heard that mournful voice, he almost burst into tears. He hurried forward, and when he got close to the crying sound, he couldn't help being stunned. It turned out that the one who was crying was not a woman or a boy, but a tall and thin man, the man in the cave. .

The man's complexion was originally very solemn, which made people respectful at first glance, but at this moment, he was hugging a big tree, weeping and weeping, like a child, there was a senior tall Where is the tolerance a person should have? Zeng Tianqiang came to his side, sighed, and said, "Stop crying." The man still hugged the tree tightly, turned his head, and said, "Why are you alone? Go after her, go find her!" Zeng Tianqiang was puzzled, he didn't know what the man was talking about! After the man said something thoughtlessly, he burst into tears again. Zeng Tianqiang frowned slightly, and said, "Hey, don't cry, okay? You're so upset!"

The man whimpered for a while and said, "Aren't you going after her?" Zeng Tianqiang finally understood a little bit, and said, "Do you want me to go after Miss Zhuo?" The man nodded, his face was full of tears, as he nodded, the tears spilled in all directions, even Zeng Tianqiang's body was stained with many drops.Zeng Tianqiang sneered and said, "I'm going after her? What are you doing?" The man suddenly seemed to be insane, let go of his hands, and took two steps back "thump-thump-thump", saying: "It's like that, I was like that back then, where else can I find her now?" While talking, Zeng Tianqiang started howling again, seeing that the man couldn't persuade him at all, he cried after speaking two sentences, and cried after speaking one sentence, thinking that he was already bothered enough, would he still be in the mood to persuade others?

He turned his head and left, but the man shouted again: "Wait a minute." Zeng Tianqiang turned around and saw that the man kept reaching into his bosom, took out several things, while taking out, he said: "Here are four Bingpo Pills, one Jiuzhuan Xiaohuan Pill and half a Sky Clay Pill. This is a Hanxue sword manual. Although it is not superior, it also has many changes. This dagger is not ordinary. This is the practice method of Ice Soul Kungfu, which is unique and secret in Ice Reef Island, and there are diagrams of the Seventy-Two Palms of Ice Soul in it..." As the man spoke, he put the things on the ground one by one.

Zeng Tianqiang was already taken aback when he heard "Nine Turns Small Return Pill". When he heard "Half a Tianni Pill", his heart jumped wildly. That "Tianni Pill" is Master Tianni Who in the martial arts world doesn't know the panacea he practiced? Master Tianni is one of the two masters of Buddhism. People in the martial arts say "one fierce, two Buddhas, three swords and four birds". . These two Buddhist masters have extremely high martial arts skills, especially the "Tianniwan". Master Tianniwan has traveled all over the world, and after thirty years of hard work, he only managed to make four. This half of Tianniwan, Its preciousness is beyond words.And when the man took out the dagger, Zeng Tianqiang was secretly surprised, Zeng Tianqiang had never seen such a dazzling weapon. That dagger is extremely small, only about four inches long, it is as thin as paper, it shines brightly, it is like the sun shining in the sky, it cannot be stared at directly, it is a rare treasure, it is not trivial.As for those few books, although Zeng Tianqiang never read the contents, he told him that they were all extremely impressive secret records of martial arts. What does it mean that this person took out all of them in front of him? Zeng Tianqiang was stunned when he heard the man say: "All these things are given to you!" Zeng Tianqiang was even more surprised, and said, "Give it to me?" As he asked back, he took a few steps back.Zengjiabao became a piece of scorched earth, and this incident also made him know that the world is dangerous, the martial arts are terrifying, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Now that person and I can be said to be strangers to each other, so many things, but that person wants to give it to me, isn't it good intentions?So he asked back while backing out. Zeng Tianqiang retreated five or six steps and stood still, only to hear the man say: "That's right, I'll give it to you, but you have to promise me one thing." Zeng Tianqiang thought to himself: I'm afraid this person has bad intentions, so he used these things to lure himself first.He didn't make a sound, just waited for the man to speak, the man said: "Where is Shang Bing's body, do you know?" Zeng Tianqiang said: "Yes, it was me and a white girl who buried her body of." The man said: "That's all right. After I die, you can set up a pile of firewood, burn me to ashes, and sprinkle my ashes on her grave. It's not difficult, can you do it?" Zeng Tianqiang didn't know what the man was going to do to lure him with so many things, but now he heard what the man said, he couldn't help being stunned, and said in amazement: "After you die? How can you die when you are so good?" The man said with a smile: "I should go after her, I can't let her come to me again!" Zeng Tianqiang couldn't make any sense of these two sentences, and the man asked again: "Can you agree?" Zeng Tianqiang looked at so many things on the ground, thinking that he would burn his body to ashes, find the place where Shang Bing was buried, and sprinkle it on. "Niwan" is already enough as a reward! He nodded his head and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you..." The man didn't wait for Zeng Tianqiang to finish speaking, he had an impatient look on his face, Zeng Tianqiang saw that there was something strange in his expression, he stopped talking, and saw the man leaning back, his back resting on the tree It hit it, and then, with a "bang", it fell to the ground. When Zeng Tianqiang hurriedly bent down to inspect, he saw that the man's face was as golden as paper, and he had no breath at all! Zeng Tianqiang never thought that things would suddenly evolve to this level. That person died suddenly, of course he cut off his meridians, it seems that his martial arts skills are extremely high, and he is also a very good person, why did he suddenly cut off his meridians and died here? Zeng Tianqiang couldn't figure it out, he was afraid that someone would pass by and find those martial arts treasures on the ground, so he first put them away together, and then looked at the person, only to see the Ice Soul Net, still covered by the The person holds tightly in the hand. Zeng Tianqiang knew that that person must have an extremely deep relationship with Shang Bing, the Bing Po Fairy. Now that he has obtained those things, his martial arts can reach a high level. Island to practice martial arts. He took down the Ice Soul Net and put it in his arms, then set up a pile of hard wood, lit a fire, pulled the man's body onto the firewood, and avoided it by himself . After two or three hours, when he came back, the man's body had already turned into ashes. Zeng Tianqiang took the dagger out of a tree trunk and cut it into a wooden jar, put the man's ashes in it, and took it with him. , After identifying the direction, he headed towards the place where Shang Bing was in trouble. He had a deep impression on that place, and he could remember the distance when he walked all the way. As Zeng Tianqiang hurried on his way, he thought hard about the cause of the man's death.That person died by cutting off his meridian, there should be no doubt about it, but why did he kill himself? Zeng Tianqiang carefully thought about the words and deeds of that person after he appeared, and only felt that from the beginning, that person seemed to be very concerned about the friendship between himself and Zhuo Qingyu.But myself and Zhuo Qingyu never knew him, so what was the reason? From his tone, it seems that he is close friends with Shang Bing, the Ice Soul Fairy, but obviously he has not been there for a long time, because he doesn't even know that Shang Bing is not on the Ice Reef Island, and wants himself and Zhuo Qingyu to go to the Bing Po Fairy. He went to take refuge on the reef, and he had to take a letter with him by the way. After he heard the news of Shang Bing's death, he was so sad, no matter how many words he said, when he met him again, he told himself to chase Zhuo Qingyu quickly, before it was too late. Monk Bing, originally an unforgettable couple, later broke up due to some misunderstanding, and no one would bow down to the other. Since then, he has been wasted until now, so after he heard the news of Shang Bing's death, did he regret it too late? Once Zeng Tianqiang thought of this, his pace became slower and finally stopped.His mind was very confused, he thought of Zhuo Qingyu, and asked himself: should we go after her, should we go to her, should we admit it?However, he also thought that when Zhuo Qingyu was with him, he had to listen to Zhuo Qingyu's opinions in everything he did. Although Zhuo Qingyu was right a lot, and she was not overbearing, no matter what, she always obeyed orders It was always a very embarrassing thing for her. In that case, he shouldn't have gone to her, but should have broken up with her. However, now that we have broken up with her, why is there such a sense of loss in my heart, such an indescribable feeling, as if I have lost something?Zeng Tianqiang was in a disturbed mood, he stood there blankly for a while, and then hurried forward again, but his mood was never at peace along the way. He kept thinking about Zhuo Qingyu, Zhuo Qingyu's stubbornness made him admire and envy him, but it also disgusted him, because Zhuo Qingyu's stubbornness was still above him. Zeng Tianqiang didn't feel calm until he penetrated into the deep mountain and was almost at the death place of Shang Bing, Bai Xiuzhu, Zhang Gugu and others, and he hurried on his way with one mind. The closer he was to his destination, the more he remembered those times with Bai Ruolan.Bai Ruolan is completely different from Zhuo Qingyu, she is very accommodating and thinks for herself. In Bai Ruolan's eyes, it seems that there is absolutely no boundary between him and Zeng Tianqiang, and what's even more rare is that she really thinks this way in her heart, it's definitely not an affectation! Thinking of this, Zeng Tianqiang couldn't help sighing.Bai Ruolan is the daughter of Bai Jiao, the demon corpse of Tianshan Mountain. The demon corpse of Tianshan Mountain is one of the people who destroyed Zengjiabao, forced Zeng Tianqiang's father to death, and made his father's corpse difficult to find!There is a mountain between him and Bai Ruolan, it's ridiculous that Bai Ruolan can't see this! Zeng Tianqiang walked forward slowly, and finally arrived at the destination. He dug a small hole next to Shang Bing's burial place with the ashes in the wooden jar, buried them in, and took a few steps back.At that time, it was just when the setting sun was sinking to the west. His slender and strange shadow was reflected on the three raised piles of soldiers, and the fallen leaves rolled around among the graves, making it even more desolate. Zeng Tianqiang felt sad and turned around abruptly. It was fine if he didn't turn around, but when he turned around, he jumped up to a height of about a foot, his hair stood on end, and he took a step back before he stood still. It turned out that there was a person standing quietly behind him! Suddenly, he saw a person behind him, so he didn't lose his face in shock. After he stood still, he realized that the person was Lu Laosan.Zeng Tianqiang was furious, and was about to reprimand Lu Laosan for his sneaky actions, but Lu Laosan spoke before him, and said with a "hum", "Hey, what are you doing sneaking around here? Don't behave like a human being." Don't be surprised if you knock on the door in the middle of the night, you will be shocked when you see me, hum, what are you doing?" Zeng Tianqiang was so angry that his eyes turned white, he couldn't say a word, he knew that Lu Laosan was the best at entanglement, if he retaliated, he didn't know what he was going to say. Therefore, even though he was bitter, he swallowed his anger and said: "I have nothing, why do you act so silently?" Lu Laosan said: "This is called Wuying, and Wujing, if I have a voice, can I still see you doing bad things here?" Zeng Tian couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "What did I do wrong?" Lu Laosan stretched out his finger to Zeng Tianqiang's nose, yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Digging wild graves and bullying the dead, isn't that a bad thing?" Zeng Tianqiang said angrily, "Fuck your shit!" As soon as he said a word, he regretted it, but it was too late. Lu Laosan covered his nose and shouted: "It stinks, your fart really stinks. Huh, if you don't believe me, search your body, there must be something If it’s not yours, that’s the evidence for your grave digging!” Hearing this, Zeng Tianqiang couldn't help being startled, thinking that although this Lu Laosan is an upside-down person, his martial arts are extremely high, and if he forcefully searched out his belongings, it would be another trouble. So he held back his breath and said: "Okay, don't get entangled with me, you are amazing, okay?" Unexpectedly, when he was tough, Lu Laosan had something to say; when he was soft, Lu Laosan also had something to say, "Ha" and said: "Look, isn't this a guilty conscience? Come, come, come, I must search for you! " As he spoke, he stretched out his five fingers quickly, and grabbed Zeng Tianqiang in the chest. Zeng Tianqiang retreated suddenly, and managed to avoid his grab, but Lu Laosan missed the first grab, and followed closely with the second grab Coming forward, Zeng Tianqiang thought to himself, if he didn't resist, he didn't know how he would end up. He reached into his bosom and grabbed the dagger in his hand. The dagger was very short, it was covered by his palm, Lu Laosan didn't see it, but the second grabber still grabbed it, Zeng Tianqiang let out a strange cry, and said, "Don't bully me too much!" As he screamed, he flipped his palm, the dagger was already revealed, and he stabbed towards Lu Laosan in a flash. Lu Laosan's movement was really amazingly fast, Zeng Tianqiang had just flashed the dagger, and his whole body was already gone. He quickly bounced back and withdrew Zhang Xu. Zeng Tian said sharply: "If you keep turning upside down and getting entangled with me, I will fight you hard!" This time, Lu Laosan ignored what Zeng Tianqiang was saying. He just squinted his eyes and looked at the dagger in Zeng Tianqiang's hand. The two of them stood in a stalemate for a long time before he heard Lu Laosan shout: "My son, what a good weapon! It's really a good weapon!" Listening to his voice, he was indeed amazed from the bottom of his heart, but he still didn't forget to take advantage of others with his words. Zeng Tianqiang said coldly: "Of course it is a good weapon, and it is invincible. If you don't leave, I will fight with you!" Lu Laosan shook his head and said, "That's unnecessary. Is this dagger of yours dug out from a wild grave?" Zeng Tianqiang reprimanded: "Nonsense." Lu Laosan smiled very strangely, and said: "Okay, if you insist on saying this is yours, then you should know its name. Let me ask you, what kind of dagger does this have?" Zeng Tianqiang was stunned, thinking that the man hadn't told him, so how could he know what kind of dagger it was?He had nothing to answer, and said: "Anyway, it's just an ancient rare treasure. Who cares what it's called? It's in my hands. It's not mine. Could it be that your surname is Lu?" Lu Laosan nodded and said, "Oh, I see, that's how it is!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly jumped forward, put two fingers in the middle of his right hand, pointed at Zeng Tianqiang's eyes and poked, Zeng Tianqiang raised his dagger and cut at his right wrist.But Lu Laosan's movements were faster, he flipped his left palm, and with a "ba" sound, he had already hit the back of his right hand. Zeng Tianqiang loosened his five fingers, and the dagger fell down. With the dagger in his hand, he let out a sharp laugh and stepped back. With one move, Zeng Tianqiang lost the dagger in his hand, he was really shocked and angry, he could do nothing but stand still. Lu Lao San held the dagger and backed away, and said with a smile, "My dagger is really good!" He said the word "I" very loudly, Zeng Tianqiang wanted to speak, but he remembered that he said just now that the dagger was his own in his hand, and now it is in his hand, isn't it his?Zeng Tianqiang blushed and couldn't say a word. Lu Laosan smiled and said: "Seeing that you are blushing with anxiety, I was just joking with you. If you are willing to do something for me, I will return this dagger to you. Do I really care?" If it was someone else, he must have asked Lu Laosan to do something for himself at this time, but in Zeng Tianqiang's heart, although he wanted to get the dagger back, he turned around and walked forward without saying a word. . Lu Laosan screamed strangely behind him, but he ignored him completely. Suddenly, a light breeze passed beside him, and Lu Laosan passed by him and stopped in front of him. Lu Lao San made a "tsk tsk" sound, and said, "What is this? I'm annoyed just making a small joke. Isn't it a girl's film, a real man, a great hero?" Zeng Tianqiang really made him laugh and cry, and said: "What exactly do you want, I won't say anything, just listen to you, okay?" Lu Laosan laughed "haha" and said, "Give me back this 'Spiritual Dagger' to you first, I won't want you, just like I won't want you if you have Tianniwan in your body." Zeng Tianqiang almost jumped up and said, "You...you...how did you know?" Lu Laosan said: "I know the owner of this dagger well. He was killed by you. Of course all his things are with you. Do you need to ask?" Zeng Tianqiang hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, I did not kill him. dead!" Lu Laosan tilted his head and said happily: "Then who is it?" Zeng Tianqiang regretted it when he saw Lu Laosan tilting his head and looking happy, because Lu Laosan This person likes to entangle people so much, he said he killed that person, he said no, and gave him a chance to entangle, no wonder he seemed so happy.However, don't you admit that you killed that person without adding a defense? Zeng Tianqiang was in a dilemma, and Lu Laosan still asked excitedly: "Hey, you said that you didn't kill that guy, so who is it, why don't you say it?" Zeng Tian held back his breath and said, "He died by cutting off his meridian." Lu Lao San screamed, and said: "He died by cutting off his meridians? He is neither insane nor stupid, nor insane, nor has he borrowed money from others and has not paid it back, nor has he murdered and set fire to be ordered by the government. He has nowhere to go. Why would a person like him seek his own death? As the saying goes, an ant steals its own life, so is he as stupid as an ant?" The old Lu three talked like a river, and they talked a lot in an instant, until Zeng Tianqiang wanted to yell. , he finally held back his breath and said: "I don't know, how do I know why he committed suicide?" Zeng Tianqiang originally wanted to tell Lu Laosan that that person might be very angry because of the death of Shang Bing, the fairy of Bingjiao, but he changed his mind, saying one more word would cause more trouble, so it is better not to say anything . Lu Laosan sneered again, and said, "That guy has a lot of relatives and friends, if they know that you killed someone and robbed them, they'll see it!" As he spoke, he threw the dagger towards Zeng Tianqiang, with a "pop", the dagger fell at Zeng Tianqiang's feet, and Zeng Tianqiang quickly picked it up.When Zeng Tianqiang picked up the dagger and listened to Lu Laosan's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was really under great suspicion!It is true that he did not kill that person, but there was no third person there at the time, and there was no proof of that person's death, how could he tell the difference? Lu Laosan giggled and said, "What, but are you scared?" Zeng Tianqiang forced a smile and said, "It's a joke, I haven't harmed anyone, so what are you afraid of? Even if that person's relatives and friends ask about me..." Lu Laosan didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "When his relatives and friends asked about you, you had already lost half of your life. Do you ask yourself if you are his opponent? People in the martial arts, how can they be reasonable?" Is it?" Zeng Tianqiang couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, he knew that he had really caused a lot of trouble, if this Lu man said it to everyone, he might be unable to move an inch! Thinking of the horror, he had no choice but to say nicely: "You... as long as you don't spread the word, no one will know that he is dead." Lu Laosan said: "Zhao, you killed me to silence me, but it's not all over, everything is settled?" Zeng Tianqiang said with a wry smile: "You know that I can't kill you, but you are making such sarcastic remarks." Lu Laosan said: "Then there is a second way, listen to what you say, do something for me, travel a long way, then if I say so, I will get a boil on my mouth." When things got to this point, Zeng Tianqiang had no choice but to ask, "What do you... want me to do?" Lu Laosan pointed to a high peak not far in front, and said: "Crossing this peak, there is an extremely dark valley, and in that valley, there is a poisonous insect..." As soon as Zeng Tianqiang heard Lu Laosan mention that valley, his heart was moved, because he had been to that valley before, and he and Bai Ruolan were brought to meet in that valley by the big eagle, so he didn't wait. After Lu Laosan finished speaking, he said, "That kind of poisonous insect is called the colorful pipa scorpion, isn't it?" Lu Laosan let out a "ha" and said: "You know a lot. I was going to catch it myself, but now I have other urgent matters and I have to go south to find someone. And there is another person, but It must be this kind of poisonous scorpion, you don’t need many, just catch seven and send them to me, okay?” Zeng Tianqiang thought of the mottled poisonous scorpion that wriggled around, poisonous saliva all over his body, and couldn't help but feel sick, but thinking about it, it's not too difficult. In order to avoid trouble, he might as well agree to him, and said, "Send it to him." Where are you going?" Lu Laosan said: "With your current ability, you can't catch poisonous scorpions. You take half a celestial mud pill and run wildly. You can't stop all the way. You can't stop when you go up and down the mountain. Then when you reach the valley If the Tianni Pill works well, you can catch the scorpion, and after catching the scorpion, send it to Xiaocui Lake and give it to my sister." Zeng Tianqiang had been listening attentively, and when he heard the word "Xiaocui Lake", he was startled suddenly, couldn't help taking a breath, and said involuntarily, "Xiaocui Lake!" Lu Laosan said: "Exactly, you can't go straight to the west, it's only a distance of ten thousand miles." After Zeng Tianqiang heard the words "Xiaocui Lake", his thoughts surged, and he thought of many things in an instant. He remembered that in that valley, Bai Ruolan told him that there was a strange person who wanted to get the "Colorful Pipa Scorpion" very much. He also knew that God Lord Shura brought Bai Ruolan and several experts to Xiaocui Lake went.The owner of Xiaocui Lake, it sounds that Lu Laosan's sister is coming, and Lu Laosan is also known as "brother-in-law" when he meets Shura Shenjun, so the one I want to meet is Shura Shenjun's wife. What is going on here, Zeng Tianqiang really has no idea, he can figure it out. After Lu Laosan finished speaking, seeing that Zeng Tianqiang didn't say a word, he said, "Why, don't you agree? Then I have to make it public. That person died at your hands. Let's see what you do." Lu Laosan's words gave Zeng Tianqiang a headache again, he said: "It's not that I won't go, but one of my enemies is going to Xiaocui Lake now, if I run into him, it will be very bad .” Lu Laosan asked, "Who is your opponent?" Zeng Tianqiang said: "It's the Three Days and Seven Demons, the Asura God Sovereign." Lu Laosan was stunned for a moment, then fell down with a sudden laugh, and said: "He is your big enemy, haha, oh, oh, I laughed so hard, you are also worthy to be his enemy, you can also take a pee Look in the mirror, look at yourself?" Zeng Tianqiang became angry with him and said: "Shut up, he ordered people to burn down the Zeng family castle and killed my father. I have a sworn hatred with him, isn't it a big enemy?" Lu Laosan said: "Then I advise you to just be a coward for the rest of your life." Zeng Tianqiang was extremely angry in his heart, he let out a "hum", turned around and left.Lu Lao San shouted, "Hey, what happened?" Zeng Tianqiang said: "I won't go." Lu Laosan rushed over and said, "Forget it, I misjudged you, you are a hero with high ambitions, how about you who vowed to avenge your father? To be honest, if you really want to take revenge, you have to go to Xiaocui Lake Can't go!" Zeng Tianqiang said: "Why?" Lu Laosan said: "Don't you know that in this world, the person who can rival Shura God Lord is in Xiaocui Lake?" Zeng Tianqiang's heart moved, and he said, "Who is it, is it your sister?" Lu Laosan smiled and did not answer, just said: "Don't ask too much, you will know when you go. This time, I will never lie to you again. If I lie to you, I will be fined to become a duck in the next life." Zeng Tianqiang thought: "What kind of strange oath is this? But since Lao San Lu said so, I'm going to go to Xiaocui Lake for a while." He said: "Okay, I promise you." Lu Laosan said: "Okay, when you arrive at Xiaocui Lake and say that I sent you, there are some advantages. If you play it by ear, the benefits will be even greater, so you can do it yourself." Zeng Tianqiang didn't know what he meant by saying that, he didn't want to spend more time with Lu Laosan, so he turned and left, Lu Laosan shouted behind him: "Don't forget to take Tianni Wan!" Zeng Tianqiang didn't pay any attention to him, just kept walking forward, walked about half a mile, turned around, saw the mountains and rocks piled up in chaos, weed baskets were scattered, and Lu Laosan had long since disappeared. Zeng Tianqiang thought to himself, Lu Lao San may not be very shrewd in his actions. Although he agreed to him, if he doesn't catch the poisonous scorpion for him now, wouldn't he be helpless? However, as soon as he had this idea, he immediately remembered the horror of Lu Laosan's entanglement, and couldn't help shivering, and didn't dare to think about it again. He knew in his heart that if he ignored it now and left, although Lu Laosan would be half-pissed off for the time being, if he met this demon star again in the future, it would be nothing more than Tiantan.Moreover, Zeng Tianqiang himself also wanted to go to Xiaocui Lake to see what God Lord Shura was doing with Bai Ruolan in Xiaocui Lake, and also to see who the only person who could fight God Lord Shura was. He walked all the way, cutting like mountain vines all the way, weaving it into a rattan basket, and then took out the half of the heavenly mud pill, drinking it in the mountain spring, and when he took it, he didn't feel anything, he hated it in his heart. Lu Laosan, although he remembered that Lu Laosan said that after taking the Tianni pill, he flew at last immediately, but he refused to accept it and just walked forward slowly. Unexpectedly, after a while, I felt a rush of hot air coming from the dantian, penetrating through the mud ball, and quickly transferred to the thirty-six acupoints all over the body. The hot air in Zeng Tianqiang's body turned faster and faster, he galloped forward, and in the blink of an eye, he had already traveled seven or eight miles, trying to stop the momentum, but he couldn't! He ran all the way to the bottom of the cliff, and climbed straight up. The momentum was almost unstoppable. When he reached the top of the mountain, he didn't breathe at all. At the moment, there was a strong stench, wriggling, full of poisonous scorpions, Zeng Tianqiang thought to himself, and never asked Lu Laosan whether he wanted to live or die. He thought it would be good to play tricks on a few of them. He made a joint with a soft mountain vine, put it on a branch, and aimed at the location of the poisonous scorpion. Fortunately, the bottom of the valley was full of poisonous scorpions. It is very convenient. Zeng Tianqiang picked the fat ones, caught a dozen or so, and put them into the rattan basket. He couldn't help the strange smell, and climbed up again, but unexpectedly, when he reached the top of the mountain, the smell was still there. beside him. Zeng Tianqiang suddenly remembered, there are more than a dozen of these poisons around him, how can it not be smelly? If it is hidden in a sealed box, it can keep the stench from leaking out, but I'm afraid it will suffocate the poisonous scorpion again! After much deliberation, he found no other good way, so he had to give up.Zeng Tianqiang didn't know that after taking half a grain of the "Tianni Pill", which has the function of bringing the dead back to life, his power had already improved greatly.Otherwise, this strange smell would have already fainted him!He got off the cliff and continued to walk forward. He didn't meet anyone along the way. When it was dark, he stayed in a small town and set off again the next day. For several days, nothing happened. During those few days, Zeng Tianqiang was very unhappy in his heart, because he only felt that the future was bleak and he had no one to confide in. Bai Ruolan talked very speculatively with himself, but she was his enemy, Zhuo Qingyu It can be said that they share the same hatred with themselves, but they just don't talk speculatively, and they broke up after a bad fight! He walked westward, crossed the extremely turbid Yellow River near Hetao, and stayed in a town at the foot of Helan Mountain that night. That town can be regarded as a big town, quite prosperous, once Zeng Tianqiang rode the skinny horse he bought a few days ago, as soon as he entered the town, he seemed to feel that there were two people, thieves and dogs, shivering and shrinking. follow behind. But when Zeng Tianqiang looked back, the two pretended to be nonchalant and looked around. Zeng Tianqiang just took a look at the two of them, and felt that there was nothing unusual about the two of them except for the clothes they were wearing, which looked strange and their color was unusually green.Moreover, he himself, at this time, was full of travel and dust, and of course he didn't have any valuables with him, and he wouldn't be afraid that someone from the underworld would come to "take dishes" from him, so he didn't take it to heart. 等他到宿一个客店之中，到了午夜时分，他突然被一种异样的哨声所惊醒，那种哨声，十分尖锐，但也十分短促，接连七八下，一闪即过。曾天强惊醒之后，还是当自己在做梦。可是他一醒，但听得窗外，吱吱喳喳，似乎有不少人，在窃窃私语，曾天强的心中，不禁大是疑心起来，他心想那是什么玩意儿？听来有人聚集在窗外的院子中，何不望上一眼？ 他在窗纸上弄了一个小洞，向外望去，只见八个人，盘腿而坐，在他们八人之中，放着一个八角形的木盒，约有两尺见方大小。 在木盒盖上，点着一只线香，烟薰袅袅，那八个人则口中喃喃有声，也不知他们在讲些什么。 曾天强究竟是名家子弟，一看到这等情形，便知道那是武林中的旁门左道，在这里有事。大凡这等旁门左道的人，最忌人家看到他们行事，自己还是不要犯了他们的忌才好。 他刚想缩回头来，可是就在此际，一瞥之间，却看到那八个人中，有两个绿衣人，正是日间在他身后，跟着他走过的。 曾天强心中陡地一动，又向其余六人看去，只见每人身上的衣服，都是绿色的，衬得他们脸上的神情，看来十分诡异。 曾天强看了片刻，心中想不出那些人究竟是什么门道来，退了回去，坐在炕洞上，手中握着那柄匕首，静以待变。 过了不多久，只听得窗外，传来了一阵“咝咝”之声，忽然之间，窗纸上出现了十七八个小孔，小孔处蛇信吞吐，转眼之间，少说也有二十条通体碧绿的蛇儿，沿着墙，蜿蜒而下！ 曾天强一见这等情形，不禁大吃一惊，全身都起了鸡皮疙瘩！ 他本来早已觉出事情有点些不对劲，也已有了准备的。然而他准备的是那几个绿衣人的突然来犯，却想不到突然之间，会有那么多的蛇涌了进来！那些小蛇，身子极细，只不过小指般细，但是一只头，却将百日儿掌般大，呈三角形，在蛇身一屈一屈，向前游来之际，也不见蛇信吞吐，只见蛇首一颤一缩，样子十分恐怖！ 曾天强陡一见毒蛇，不禁一呆，而那些毒蛇的来势极多，转眼之间，已经来到了炕边，沿着土炕，待向上爬来，曾天强不禁大是手忙脚乱，他心想，自己若是撒出冰魄神网，或者可以将之一网打尽，可是他在伸手人怀之际，蛇儿早巳沿炕而上。 曾天强顾不得去取网，身子先向后缩一缩。 他的动作匆忙了些，在一缩之间，将那只藤篓碰翻，他方始觉出，那藤篓之中，爬搔之声大作。 曾天强心中陡地一动，心想造物生生相克，再毒的物事，也定然有东西克制的，这些毒蛇，眼看是奇毒之物，不知藤篓中的七色琵琶蝎，是否能以克制？ 他正在想着，只见那二十来条毒蛇，到了沿炕之上，便一齐身子蜷曲，对准了那只藤篓子，口中咝咝有声，不再向前游来。 曾天强在捉那些毒蝎之后，除了不时抛些食物进篓子，免得毒蝎饿死之外，还未曾打开过，这时，他明知那些毒蝎一样不好对付，但看来毒蝎的行动甚慢，容易捕捉，而那些毒蛇，盘住了不动之后，窗外异声大作，显是在催蛇进攻，自己孤身一人，不先将那些毒蛇觖决了，如何是了局？ 他不再多考虑，伸手一拨，拨开了那只藤篓子，只见里面的毒蝎，连跌带爬，涌了出来。 毒蝎一出，毒蛇儿盘得更紧，窗外的异声，也更加惊人，只见那毒蝎争先恐后地向前爬去，尾上毒钩猛地向毒蛇头上扎下，毒蛇紧紧地盘着，一动也不动，毒蝎尖钩下，蛇身伸直，便自死去。 刹那之间，二十余条毒蛇，尽皆死去，曾天强的心中大喜，将冰魄神网拿在手中，又将那十来只毒蝎，一一捉进了藤篓之中。 那冰魄神网，当日他曾用来罩住独足猥，及至独足猥被葛艳救走，冰魄神网也落在葛艳的手中。葛艳和冰魄仙子尚冰之间，另有渊源，本书后文有便，常会一叙，葛艳得了冰魄神网之后，将之弃去，这才又落入了曾天强手中的。曾天强就是用了这张冰礁岛的镇岛之宝，使得那人相信了尚冰已死的。若不是他在荒野间拾到了这网，他又何至于被鲁老三挟制着到小翠湖去？ 当下，他捉回了毒蝎，战战兢兢，走下炕来，再向外看去，不禁又吓了一跳。只见那几个绿衣人，个个都面色惨绿，尸横就地，竟不知在什么时候横死了。 曾天强越想越觉得骇然，暗忖：这里绝不是久留之地，还是快些离去的好，悄悄地开了门，偷出了客店，立时出了镇甸，这才松了一口气。 曾天强这一走不打紧，却苦了店主人，店主人清晨起来，见一院死人，慌忙将死尸运走，虽未曾惊动官府，也吓出了一场大病。 而曾天强睡过的那张炕，因为毒蝎爬过，有毒蝎涎留在上面，不几天，有三个人口贩子，携带着少女经过，睡在这张坑上，毒气侵入体内，这三个人口贩子足足生了七八个毒疮，终于毒发而死，这也是他们携带人口，逼良为娼的报应！ 却说曾天强，在出了小镇之后，向西疾行，走出了三五里，只觉月色清凉，并没有什么动静，这才略为放下心来，心想这里荒凉，连夜赶路，也不是办法，总得打个宿头才好。 他一面想，一面东张西望，只见再向前去，似乎有灯光闪耀，他便笔直地向前走去，不一会儿，便看到那是一堆篝火。 在篝火之旁，坐着四个人，那四个人身上的衣服，是红得发紫的颜色，再给篝火一逼，更是诡异之极。曾天强一见那四个人的服饰如此之怪，心知不对，想要止步时，却巳不及！ 只见那四个红衣人，已一齐抬头，向他望来。 曾天强心想既躲不过去，自己赶夜路，也未必有罪，索性大大方方地走过去算了，他来到了那四个人身边，略停了一停。 可是那四个人却只是怔怔地望着火，火苗乱窜，闪耀不定的火光，映得他们面上的神色，十分之忧郁，曾天强见他们不出声，便继续向前走去。 他才走出了两三步，但听得四人中有人叹道：“那几位玩蛇儿的弟兄，一定性命不保了！” 别一个道：“是啊，但盼我们，不要步他们的后尘！” 曾天强一听四人公然如此说法，心中不禁大震，倏地转过身来，手中早巳握定了那柄匕首。 那四个红衣人也站了起来，其中一个四方面的中年人，踏前两步，向曾天强行了一个礼，曾天强唯恐对方在行礼之际，施放暗器，是以连忙向后跃了开去。 但是那红衣人却未曾放什么暗器，行了一礼之后，直起了身子，道：“得罪了！” 他话一说，和另外三人，各自一抖袖，便已取了一只尺许见方的盒子在手中。曾天强见了这等情形，心中不禁莫名其妙，道：“你们做什么？” 那四人道：“我们想留下阁下身上的一样东西，是以不揣冒昧。” 曾天强不禁大怒，道：“我和你们全然不识，何以你们与我为难，哼，那弄蛇的人，可是和你们一路的么，他们不知好歹，已然死了！” 那四人的面色微微一变，道：“我们一见尊驾，便巳知道了。” 曾天强厉声道：“你们可是受了修罗神君之命，前禾害我的么？” 那四个红衣人又一怔，道：“修罗神君？不是啊，而且，我们也绝无伤害阁下之意。” 曾天强怒道：“刚才你们还謭留下我身上的一件东西，如今又说不欲加害了么？” 那四人忽然笑了起来，道：“原来如此，那阁下弄错了，我们要留下的，乃是阁下所带，天下罕见的毒物，七色琵琶蝎。” 曾天强摇头道：“那不行！” 那四人道：“看情形阁下身边，毒蝎颇多，我们只要两条，也不能割爱么？” 曾天强想，这帮人行径诡异，不知道是什么来路，看来不止是这四人，前面像是还有，若是得罪了他们，只怕也不胜其烦。那毒蝎自己在捉的时候，反正捉多了几条在，给他们两条，又有何妨？是以他略一思索，道：“原来你们是要琵琶蝎，拿两条去就是了。” 那四个红衣人一听，在刹那里之间，惊愕失措，竟不知怎样才好，突然之间，一齐跪了下来，“咚咚咚咚”，各自向曾天强叩了几个响头，道：“尊驾厚赐，我等感激不尽！” 曾天强原是个吃软不吃硬的人，一见四人这等情形，反倒过意不去，道：“两条毒蝎算得什么，也值行此大礼么？”他解下了腰际的藤篓子，用树枝挑出了两条毒蝎来，那四个红衣人中的两个，忙取出锦盒，将毒蝎装了，小心翼翼，藏入怀中。 曾天强心中好奇，道：“你们究竟是什么人？” 那四人叹了一口气，道：“我们武功低微，只不过在江湖上混口饭吃，不足为奇，倒是咱们教主，武功高强，这毒蝎我们要了，也是去献给教主的，唉，教主下限期已许久了，若是再找不到，咱们还不如死了的好。” 曾天强听他们讲得可怜，心中更是不忍忙道：“你们的教主是谁，我去见他，替你们讲讲理！” 那四个红衣人双手乱摇，道：“尊驾自管且走路，切莫多事！” 曾天强见四人竟吓得发抖，心中更是不平，大声道：“你们带我去见他，他想来离此不远，是也不是？” 那四人中的一个道：“就在此贺兰山中。” 曾天强道：“怕什么？你们得了毒蝎，总算有功，不成他便对你们翻脸！”那四人望了曾天强半晌，满面皆是无可奈何的神色，道：“请尊驾跟我们来。” 曾天强随着四人，向前走去，不一会儿，又遇到了几个，或穿黑衣，或穿赭衣，见了曾天强，态度均是十分恭谨。 到天明时分，已进了山中，山岭起伏，林木苍苍，和曾天强一起的，少说也有三四十人。曾天强巳经看出，这些人的装束神情，虽然诡异，但却没有一点像是有武功的模样，只不过是些寻常壮汉而已。 曾天强并没有将这些人放在心上，跟着他们一直走去。 又过了一个时辰，才到了一个山之上，那些人一起跑了下来。 曾天强向前看去，只见前面的峭壁，洁白如玉，有一个山洞，洞门口站着两个小女孩，约莫十二三岁年纪，一见了众人，便叱道：“你们一齐回来，可是巳找到教主要的那种蝎子了么？” 那四个红衣人膝行向前，道：“正是，是一位客官给的，这位朋友，想见一见教主。” 那两个女孩一听，面色立时一沉。 那两个小女孩，只不过十二三岁年纪，面上的稚气，也还未脱，可是他们面色一沉之间。那么多大汉，竟立时十分惊恐起来。 那两个女孩又道：“教主向不见外人，你们不应该不知道，如何妄引外人，来到此间？” 一干人等，没有一人出声。 那两个小女孩又唤道：“是谁将这人引来的。” 四个红衣人，战战竞兢地向前走去，道：“是我们……四个人。” 那两个小女孩一跃向前，斥道：“你们该死！” 只见她们两个人，身形同晃动，那四个红衣大汉“嘭嘭嘭嘭”，便跌倒在地，其余人跪在地上，更是低着头，连大气也不敢出。可是曾天强看了，心中却只是好笑。 那些大汉，一声也不敢出，当然是以为那两个少女孩的本领，大到不能再大了。然而曾天强却看得清楚，那两个少女孩所使的，只不过是普通的擒拿法，只不过倚着身手灵活，一上来便拿住了那四个大汉的麻筋，所以才将这四个大汉，摔了一跤而巳。 而且，那两个小女孩，显然也没有什么内功，因为这四个大汉被摔倒之后，根本未曾受什么伤，立时一个翻身，就爬了起来，仍是跪在地上。 而那两个小女孩，却叉着腰，转向曾天强，道：“你看了我们的厉害了？若是不想找死，趁早夹着尾巴，快快避走！” 曾天强心想，你们这样一手擒拿法，吓吓一点功夫都不会的乡巴佬还可以，想来吓我，岂不是笑话么？ 他也不生气，只是笑道：“小姑娘，你们确是厉害，但是我还是想见一见你们的教主。” 那两个小女孩怒道：“我们的教主，本领更大，你一见就没有命了，还不快滚。” 曾天强也不去理会她们，径自向那个山洞之中走去，他一向前走去，那两个少女便大声呼喝，赶了上来，这也本在曾天强的意料之中，在洞口，那两个小女孩赶上了曾天强，一边一个，便来拿曾天强的腰际软穴。 曾天强的武功，在武林之中，也是难登大雅之堂的。需知普天之下，武林中异人辈出，即便是曾天强的父亲，铁雕曾重，在武林中的名头，算得响亮了，一且强敌压境，也不免家破人亡。然而曾天强的武功固然普通，比起这两个小女孩来，却还绰绰有余！ 当那两个小女孩向他腰抓来之际，他双臂一振，肘部已打横撞出，一边一个肘捶，向那两个小女孩的胸际撞了出去。 他已然看到，那两个小女孩实在不会什么功夫，所以出手并不重，而且势子也十分慢，他以为这两个小女孩一定可以避得过去的。 却不料他两下肘撞出，只听得“吧吧”两声，还是撞个正着，那两个小女孩各自一声呻吟，身子后仰，向两旁跌了开去。 曾天强两面看去，只见她们面色苍白，在地上好半晌爬不起来，可是她们面上，却全是怀恨之色，手臂抖动，只见两只鸽蛋大小的，乳白色的蜘蛛，顺着他们的手臂，迅速地爬了下来。 曾天强立即道：“你们可是找死么？我腰际篓子中，有十余条七色琵琶蝎，你们这两只蜘蛛，又有什么用处？”那两个小女孩面色又自一变，一翻手，又将两只蜘蛛，收进了袖中，哭叫道：“教主，教主，有人欺负我们，你老人家快大展神威！” 曾天强本来，以为所谓“教主”，至少应该是邪派之中的能人异士才是。可是如今见了这等情形，似乎除了一些毒物之外，别无所长。谈到武功，是如同儿戏一样！ 那么，这个所谓“教主”，又是何等样人呢？他所掌的又是什么教呢？ 曾天强心中好奇之极，他倒希望那个“教主”立时现身，好解决他心中的这个疑团。可是那两个小女孩哭叫着，只听得她们的哭叫声，在山洞中激起了“嗡嗡”的回声，却是看不到有什么人从洞中走出来。 曾天强等了片刻，便冷笑道：“好，看来你们教主是不肯出来的了，还是让我自己去见他的好。”他大踏步地向内走去，那两个小女孩想是惊骇过甚，竟只是张大了口，连哭也哭不出来了。 曾天强向内走了两丈许，眼前豁然开朗，竟是一个极大的山洞。 那山洞约有四丈见方，洞顶上满是长长短短，奇形怪状，倒挂而下的钟乳石，那些钟乳石，发出一种十分柔和的光辉来。 是以那个山洞，虽然不明亮，但是要看清山洞中的事物，却也并无困难。曾天强一踏进这个山洞，便看到在山洞的尽头处，有一块十分平整的大石，石上坐着一个人，那人与其说是坐在石上，倒不如说是缩在一角落的好。 曾天强四面一看，除了那个人之多，并不见有别的人，他心中大是疑惑，再向那人看去，只见那人竟是一个年轻的女子，在柔和光线下，那女子肤色苍白，一点血色也没有，看来实不类生人。而她的一双眸子，却是漆也似黑，这时正睁得老大地望着曾天强，在她的双眼之中，充满了恐惧。 曾天强越向前走去，她眼中的恐惧之意便越甚，当曾天强来了她身前丈许时，她抖着声音，道：“站住，再向前去，你可……没命了……” 她讲的话是在恐吓别人，可是她自己却一面说，一面在簌簌发抖。 曾天强心想，这算是什么，这个少女，难道就是众人口中的什么教主么？他看到少女如此害怕的样子，倒不忍心再向前走去，停了下来，道：“你是什么人？” 那少女颤声道：“我是千毒教主。” 曾天强忍不住“哈哈”大笑了起来。“千毒教主”四字，就来何等威风，而“教主”两字，又是非同小可的称呼，谁可想得到。“千毒教教主”竟是这样一个见了人就发抖的少女？ 曾天强心中又好气又好笑，道：“小姑娘，你别装神弄鬼了，你在闹些什么玄虚，你大人在哪里，何以竟容你胡闹？” 那少女大眼忽闪忽闪，道：“我是千毒教教主，教中唯我独尊，你说些什么，我却是不服，你要来见我，却是为了什么？” 曾天强摊了摊手，他实是猜不透眼前那少女是什么来历，他只好笑了一下，道：“本来也没有什么，是你的手下向我要七色琵琶蝎，所以我想来看看他们的教主，是何等样人。” 那少女眼中颇有兴奋之意，道：“你有那种蝎子么？可肯给我？” 曾天强道：“我巳经给了，你要来做什么用的？” 那少女却又一本正经，道：“这是我们教中的秘密，你岂可多问？” 曾天强“哈哈”一笑，道：“小姑娘，你别幵口本教，闭口本教了，你有什么本领，可以做一教之主，你倒说说看。” 那少女的面上，现出了一丝怒容，然而那丝怒容容，又随即化为骇然之色。她嗫嚅道：“我……会驱捉毒物，自然是千毒教的教主。” 曾天强的心中，对那少女不禁生出一丝可怜之感来，道：“你会驱捉毒物的小门道，算得了什么，怎可妄称什么千毒教教主？幸而你遇见了我，若是遇了别人，只怕便不肯放过你！” 那少女仍不服，道：“我手下也有近百名教众，附近猎户，可也当我生神仙一样。” 曾天强哈哈大笑，道：“那是他们没有见识之故，一遇到了像我这样，你是什么样人，还不是一眼就看出来了，怎会怕你？” 那少女略现腼腆之容，道：“那么……我……你是有见识的人了？” 曾天强听得那少女出言天真，更肯定了她不是坏人，而她之所以会在这里僭称为什么千毒教教主，只怕是有原因的，便好声好气，道：“我也不算得是什么有见识之人，只不过我的见识怕比你广些，你叫什么名字，你的长辈呢？” 那少女叹了一口气，道：“我叫施，叫施教主。” 曾天强道：“你再自认教主，我就不踩你。” 那少女道：“我……人人一直叫我施教主，那不是我的名字是什么？”曾天强挥手道：“好了，你且说你怎么会在这里的？” 那少女摇了摇头，道：“我也不知道，我一直在山中长大的，早两年，有两个老妇人陪着我，她们便叫我施教主，她们教我驱捉毒物的法子和武功，说我是一教之主，后来她们死了。” 曾天强道：“她们可有什么东西留下来么？” 那少女跃下了大石来，连声道：“有，有，有一些东西，还有一些书，我也看不懂，你来看看可好？” 那少女身形修长，她身上的衣衫，色作浅黄，和山洞中柔和的光线一衫，显得十分悦目。虽然她肌肤苍白，一点血色也没有，但仍然给人以十分美丽的感觉。而且这时，她显然不再惧怕曾天强了，脸上带着笑容，看来更令人如沐春风。 曾天强道：“你带我去看看。”那少女走了几步，忽然又停了下来，上下打量着曾天强，曾天强道：“又做什么了？” 那少女道：“她们两人死时，说碰到靠不住的人，万不能让他看到那些东西的，你样子还算老实，只不过你为何不称我作教主？” 曾天强被那少女引起了好奇心，只得没好气道：“好，施教主：你说我是老实人，那当真多谢你教主另眼相看了。” 曾天强语中的讥讽之意，人人都听得出来，可是那少女居然受落，嫣然一笑，还颇有得意之容。 她又继续向前走去，来到了一块大石面前，那块看来十分方正的大石，原来竟是一只箱子，那少女揭开了箱盖，道：“你来看。” 曾天强一闪身形，走了过去，向那箱子之中一看，几乎笑了出来。 那箱子看来像是一只大玉箱，曾天强本来，以为一定有一些相当珍贵的物事存在。曾天强绝无觊觎人家宝物之心，但是他觉得那少女十分美丽，而且也相当诡异，但该有一些宝物来配她才是的。 可是，他向那里箱子中看得去时，却是没有法子不笑了出来，箱子中哪里有什么宝物？只有三柄单刀，有一柄满是缺口。 那三柄也绝非宝刀，因为巳经生锈，根本巳不堪使用，等于废铁了。 除了那三柄单刀之外，还有几件破衫，堆成了一团，曾天强拨开了那团破衫，看到了一册书，曾天强心想那一定是武功秘笈了。
