Chapter 35 The Thirty-fifth Chapter Milin is Weird

Zhan Mengbai's spirit was lifted, he suddenly turned his wrist and pulled out the iron sword, and with all his strength, he jumped, but because his feet were covered with water, the height of his leap was only about one zhang. But his iron sword had already penetrated into the earth wall, and his figure also took advantage of the momentum to attach to the wall. He adjusted his breath for a while, kicked off the wall with both feet, and pulled out the iron sword. Inserting into the earth wall on the other side, he was a foot closer to the edge of the pit at this time, and he jumped back once or twice, and he rushed out of the trap with a long roar.

Looking around, the thick fog is still there, but there is no one around the pit. Zhan Mengbai turned his eyes to look around, feeling another chill in his heart. I saw a huge tree beside the pit, and there were four big men nailed to it in a row, with their backs and stomachs attached. The tallest man had protruding eyes and glaring eyes, his face was full of horror, and a long arrow was nailed to his chest. This arrow went straight into the chest, only the feathers at the end were exposed, which clearly showed the strength of the archer's wrist, but the feathers were of a rare bright red color.

Zhan Mengbai couldn't figure out how these four people were nailed to the tree with their backs and backs. It looked like four grasshoppers were stuck on a bamboo stick, as if they were nailed to death by a long arrow. But how could there be such a big bow and such a long arrow in the world? He couldn't help but pull the corpse of the first person, and the corpse rose up in response. I saw a cluster of bright red arrow feathers on the chest of the second corpse. Only then did Zhan Mengbai know that these four people were injured by four arrows, the first arrow nailed the first person to the tree, and the second arrow nailed the second person to the first person.

The third person was impaled on the body of the second person, and the fourth person was impaled on the third person, so at first glance, it seemed that the four of them were shot through the chest by an arrow at the same time. But the sound of the long arrow piercing the air just now seems to be only one sound, and the four screams are also closely connected. The kung fu and hand strength of this archer is not appalling. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being secretly surprised, took a long breath, and suddenly heard someone in the dark forest laughing again: "Did you come up by yourself? Great, great, I just don't want to risk the stench to save you..."

The voice is shrill and weird, but full of breath and continuous. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being secretly surprised, bowed his hands and cupped his fists, and said loudly: "Where is the master who saved Zhan Mengbai's life, but please come out and meet." After a long silence in the dark forest, he said sharply, "So you are Zhan Mengbai." Zhan Mengbai said: "I am Zhan Mengbai." The laughter in the dark forest suddenly turned to shriek, and he said sharply: "I have heard that Zhan Mengbai is a hero, why do you want me to save your life today?"

Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This... this..." This man saved his life, but at the moment there seemed to be a sarcastic hostility in his voice, Zhan Mengbai was surprised and amazed, he really didn't know how to answer. Only to hear Lin Zhong laughed maniacally again and said: "You have a great reputation at a young age, and the reputation must be false. Let me teach you a lesson." There was a slight pause in his voice, and he suddenly shouted: "Look at the arrow!" The shouting was over, and another sharp and fierce wind came from the sky.

Frightened and furious, Zhan Mengbai looked intently, only to see the shadow of an arrow coming out through the fog.Although the sound of the wind was sharp and fierce, it didn't seem to be very fast. Zhan Mengbai turned around and made a wrong step, Fang Dai stretched out his hand to catch the arrow. Unexpectedly, the shadow of this arrow, when it comes to the eyes, suddenly separates four arrows. But the wind of the arrow suddenly disappeared, and the momentum suddenly accelerated, shooting Zhanmengbai's "Yingxiang", "Ruquan", "Zhongji" and "Huagai" respectively, up and down, left and right, and four large points.

Zhan Mengbai never dreamed that there would be such a magical arrow technique in the world. Shocked, he swung his sword and kicked his feet. At this moment, he saw his body sword flying, the iron sword swung the arrow above, kicked the arrow below with his left foot, stretched his left palm sharply and pointed like scissors, cut the shaft of the arrow on the right, and While his figure was leaping wildly, an arrow shot from his left also flew past him, flying far into the dense fog. Another person's voice suddenly sounded in the dark forest, blurting out: "Okay!" Then, the shrill voice just now sounded again, and said with a stern smile: "Sure enough, I think you can avoid the four arrows, so let me let you go today, but this misty forest is still full of traps and murderous intentions everywhere. If you can escape today, I will meet you again in the future."

The voice flew away, and when the last word was spoken, it was already far away in the depths of the dense fog, leaving only the sharp and piercing laughter, still floating in the misty forest. Zhan Mengbai stayed for a while, then paused, although he wanted to chase after him, but Huang Hu was still in the trap, so he turned around and jumped over. The misty thick fog and the puddle of lime water made this misty forest even more mysterious. The stern laughter of the strange man just now also said that there are still traps and murderous intentions everywhere in this misty forest. Zhan Mengbai didn't dare to be careless with his feet, he carefully landed on the edge of the pit, looked down, and saw Huang Hu leaning against the earth wall in a haze, his expression seemed quite complacent.

He saw Zhan Mengbai from the edge of the pit, and laughed loudly: "Is it Big Brother Zhan? My little brother has been waiting here for a long time, please hurry up and Big Brother Zhan rescue me." Zhan Mengbai couldn't help laughing and said: "I just thought you must be very panicked, but I didn't realize that you seemed to be standing in the corner waiting for someone, but I almost couldn't come." Huang Hu laughed loudly and said, "Why panic? I knew God would never let Zhan Mengbai die casually, so I am very relieved." Zhan Mengbai was amused and sighed at the same time, turned around and took off the belts on the four corpses, tied them into one, and jumped back to hang down.

Huang Hu immediately climbed up, stretched his back to the sky, and said with a smile: "Although I'm not afraid of you down here, I feel a little suffocated. If Brother Zhan doesn't come, I will really be suffocated to death." Zhan Mengbai smiled and said, "Aren't you in a hurry?" Huang Hu laughed loudly and said, "Why are you in a hurry? No matter what happens to my younger brother, I have never been in a hurry. If God really wanted to kill me, would I still be alive?" Zhan Mengbai smiled wryly and thought to himself: "This person is in a daze, but he is a lucky general." But he said in a deep voice: "You and I will go back from the same way, you have to be careful on your feet." Huang Hu said: "Why are those embryo killers shrinking their necks again at this moment, so they can't come out? Could it be that they are afraid after hearing Brother Zhan's famous name?" Zhan Mengbai said: "How can it be so easy, I'm afraid there are ambushes everywhere in this misty forest, such people are happy to wait in the dark for you and me to be fooled, why bother to come out?" Huang Hu shook his head and sighed: "If you fight to the death with real swords and spears, I won't be afraid, but if you play some tricks, I won't be able to stand up to it." Zhan Mengbai said harshly: "If you and I just want to escape, it would be easy, but for revenge, we must never let these thieves go." Huang Hu said loudly: "Brother Zhan, you just go to revenge, no matter how afraid I am, I will follow, even if I am killed here by a plot, I am willing." Zhan Mengbai suddenly raised his chest, raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, come with me!" The iron sword in his palm swung suddenly, and struck at a tree trunk on the left. He heard a sound of "Kacha", and this tree as thick as a wine bowl was cut into two pieces by his sword, and fell obliquely. Zhan Mengbai jumped onto the stump of the broken tree, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "I don't believe he can do it in ambush on this severed stump..." Huang Hu was overjoyed and said: "Brother Zhan is going to cut a path in this lost forest with his sword, so that we can only walk on this broken tree stump?" Zhan Mengbai said: "That's right! Even if I cut off the roots of the trees in this lost forest, I still want to find out where these thieves are hiding?" Huang Hu laughed loudly and said: "Okay! Good! If my younger brother can walk with a person like Brother Zhan for the rest of his life, I will be very happy if I want my younger brother to lead the horse and drag it." Amidst the loud laughter, Zhan Mengbai swung his sword again. The dark sword light flashed in the mist, and another tree was split in two. Zhan Mengbai kicked the tree away with his feet, and his figure landed on the stump. In a short time, he had chopped down nine trees with his sword, the yellow tiger leaped all the way over the tree stumps, but there was still no sound in the Misty Forest. Huang Hu frowned and said: "Those thieves saw Brother Zhan being so brave, if they were so frightened and ran away, it would be no good. Brother Zhan wasted their efforts." Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a while, and thought to himself: "That's not bad, they robbed the horses, their purpose has been achieved, how could they still stay here." While thinking about it, Huang Hu scolded loudly. Unexpectedly, after he scolded himself a few words, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded in the mist, and he said: "My brothers are waiting to take the lives of both of you, and they won't leave." Zhan Mengbai yelled, and rushed over like an arrow, swung the iron sword, and the blade broke the tree. The laughter seemed to come from this tree, but after the tree was broken, there was still no one on the tree. At this time, another sneer sounded from another tree in the distance: "This lost forest covers an area of ​​ten miles. If you can really cut down the entire forest land, I will accept you too." After a pause of laughter, he continued sadly: "But if you do not level this lost forest, I'm afraid you will never get out alive again." Huang Hu scolded: "If you have the guts to come out, don't be a coward." Someone sneered again and said: "My brother, why bother to put in so much effort, not only are there ambushes everywhere in this misty forest, but there are also strange gates hidden in them, which will trap the two of you to death here." Just now the laughter was in the west, but now the laughter is in the east, the east and the west are far apart, it is obvious how many enemies are ambushed in this misty forest? Huang Hu scolded loudly for a while, but there was no response from all around. He stayed there for a while, Fang Zi couldn't help asking quietly: "Brother Zhan, do you know that strange gossip technique, I'm afraid there are really weird things in this forest." Zhan Mengbai shook his head, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "This kind of fishing, who has the patience to learn from him." Swinging the iron sword, he rushed forward. In a short while, the trees broke several more, the branches and leaves were flying, and the echoes were surging. Zhanmeng Baifang took a breath, and suddenly heard a horse neighing in the forest. The hearts of the two were shocked, and they rushed over with their swords, only to see a horse trapped in the trap ahead, but it turned out to be Zhan Mengbai's good horse. It was not damaged at all, except for the saddle and bridle on the horse's back, but it was gone. It raised its hooves and kicked the water in the pit, and neighed continuously. It was obvious that it slipped and fell while galloping in the forest. Although the horse is a steed, it is difficult to jump out of this small pit. Zhan Mengbai's original sharp gaze, since he took the jade dew in the bottle of the old man Tianxing, his eyesight is much different from that of ordinary people, and he was the first to discover it. Huang Hu still didn't see it clearly, hesitantly said: "The horse in the pit, could it be..." Zhan Mengbai's face was full of astonishment, and he interrupted: "It's my horse." Huang Hu wondered: "Since it's this horse, how could those thieves let it fall into the pit?" Zhan Mengbai pondered: "But the saddle is gone..." Huang Hu was stunned for a moment, and said: "So, could it be that these thieves only came here for the two pairs of saddles? Are you and I completely mistaken?" Zhan Mengbai sighed, "It seems to be so." Huang Hu stumbled and said: "It's wrong to be wronged, that's called wronged, if you and I are really surrounded by the enemies who injured Brother He, it's fine, just for two saddles, I'm really wronged to death." Zhan Mengbai let out a long sigh and was speechless for a while. You must know that the people in the forest at this moment, if they are really the mysterious masked guest of the horse snatcher on the Middle Shu Road, they will definitely not let this horse fall into the trap. Huang Hu said: "No matter what, we have to get it out of the pit first." Zhan Mengbai thought about it, and suddenly said happily: "I have heard for a long time that horses know the way, if you and I follow this horse, we will surely be able to get out of this predicament." Huang Hu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, a clever plan..." The laughter stopped suddenly, and he shook his head and sighed: "No, it's still not possible, absolutely not." Zhan Mengbai said: "Why not?" Huang Hu said with a bitter face: "Although a horse knows the way, it can't recognize the ambush trap, otherwise the horse wouldn't fall." Zhan Mengbai said: "This horse was able to escape from the hands of those thieves, but your horse did not. It must be because the thieves couldn't restrain it. Seeing it escape here, I was afraid of being hit by you and me. You don’t dare to pursue, do you?” Huang Hu murmured: "Not bad." Although he said "not bad", he didn't know what Zhan Meng's words meant in his heart, instead he blamed Zhan Mengbai for talking about the horse's nature and knowing the way, so why did he come here again. Zhan Mengbai said again: "But it has been unsaddled by someone, it must have escaped from the place where the thieves gather, right?" Huang Hu still felt at a loss, he said slowly: "Not bad." Zhan Mengbai said: "It ran all the way here from the place where the strongmen gathered, and then it fell into a trap. Then, it must be able to lead the way from here to the place where the strongmen are gathered, right?" Huang Hu was stunned for a long while, then murmured: "From there...to here...to there..." Suddenly he laughed loudly and said, "Not bad." He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his backhand, and said happily: "I only thought that I had thought it through carefully, but brother Zhan is even more clever. If that's the case, save it quickly." Zhan Mengbai jumped into the pit, the horse had already hissed happily and leaned over, Zhan Mengbai patted the mane and said: "Horse, horse, I'm sorry for you." Suddenly he stretched out his hands, grabbed the horse's hind feet, and lifted them up. That horse is indeed a thousand-mile horse, and it can really take advantage of this support, like a horse flying in the sky, and fly out of the trap. Huang Hu laughed and said: "Fortunately, the belt that brother Zhan saved my younger brother just now is still there. Unexpectedly, my younger brother will also save brother Zhan once." In his voice, the four knotted belts were hanging down. The belt fell off, and Zhan Mengbai jumped up. Huang Hu patted the horse's mane and said, "Brother Ma, can you take us out?" The horse neighed, nodded and moved forward. Huang Hu shook his head and laughed loudly: "Unexpectedly, it can really understand people's wishes. It is not wrong for me to call it Brother Ma." While laughing, he followed the horse. I saw the horse zigzagging through the forest, its pace was very slow, and it stopped from time to time, looking around, smelling, and sometimes detoured. After walking for a while, I suddenly saw two pairs of saddles abandoned by the side of the road. They belonged to Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu, and the whole body was pasted with gold. Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu looked at each other, even more surprised: "Why is this saddle not what they want? Then, what exactly do they want?" Huang Hu swept his forehead with his hands, and sighed: "If I don't find out what's going on, I'm really going to be bored, and this Mi Lin doesn't want to go out." The misty forest is still cloudy and misty, Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu followed closely behind the horse stock, secretly even more frightened, even if there is no ambush in this forest, it is difficult for ordinary people to move an inch. After another two cups of tea, there was another sound of sword clashing in the misty forest, the sound became more and more clear, and the horse couldn't help neighing. Huang Huxuan whispered with his eyebrows: "Could it be that the land has arrived." Zhan Mengbai nodded, and said in a low voice, "Shut up." Sure enough, the horse stopped slowly, Zhan Meng held the iron sword with his white hand, leaned forward and stared, and saw a clearing in the dense forest. In the cloud and mist, although the scenery in the clearing in the forest is not very clear, a few people can still be vaguely seen fighting fiercely in the clearing. I saw two of them, dressed vigorously and fast attire, each wielding two knives, the light of the bluish-white knives scattered vertically and horizontally, they were already top-notch in the martial arts. The other person used a pair of tiger-headed double hooks in his palm, his moves are strange and spicy, and his movements are light, nimble and quick, still surpassing that of the saber wielder. But these four weapons are fighting together, but they are still at a disadvantage. But the ones fighting with the two of them were actually five men in extremely ragged clothes, only two of them had weapons in their palms, and the rest were all bare-handed. Judging from the changes in the movements of these five people and the rumors of their moves, the martial arts of these five people are far inferior to that of the man who wields the knife and bowl. They should never be their opponents, but At this moment, not only were the two of them at a disadvantage, but their moves were already a little sluggish, obviously their strength was exhausted. This kind of unreasonable thing made Zhan Mengbai both surprised and surprised. In a split second, only weak voices could be heard intermittently from the other side of the open space: "No. 4 spreads the autumn clouds... No. 2, Autumn Water Changtian... No. 5, flat sand and falling geese." Every time this voice uttered a word, the five ragged men would immediately perform that move, and the two who were wielding their knives and bowls would immediately take another step back. It was only then that Zhan Mengbai suddenly realized that although these five ragged guys were not good at martial arts, there was a top martial arts master on the side to guide them in their moves. The number of the number naturally represents the five ragged guys, he commanded five people, not only did not make any mistakes, but he was able to attack the strong with the weak, this is really a shocking thing. Zhan Mengbai was surprised, how could there be such a master of martial arts here, why didn't he come to do it himself, but directed others so troublesomely? At this time, Huang Hu had also recognized the figure in the forest, and suddenly exclaimed: "Is the one in the forest the Huangzhou Crouching Tiger Knife and the Xinyang Panlong Hook?" You must know that Zhan Mengbai observed the subtleties, he first noticed the difference between the martial arts of the two sides, after thinking hard, he didn't pay attention to the body skills of the person who wields the sword and uses the hook. The clumsy and straightforward Huang Hu is far more direct in observation and thinking, and can tell who they are at a glance—this kind of relationship between wisdom and ignorance is the most subtle in philosophy. But it can be explained in one word. Although they only know what it is, but they don't know why, they are much more direct. Seeing the two people wielding knives and hooks in the forest, their spirits really lifted, and they shouted in unison: "But Daxia Zhan and Brother Huang are here." Huang Hu shouted: "Don't panic, you two, I will help you." Before the shout was over, Zhan Mengbai swung his sword in and struck out with a shaking wrist. How powerful is this sword, the sword style has not yet arrived, the extremely powerful sword wind has already shaken a ragged man, staggered and fell sideways. The other four ragged men turned around and fled in shock. Zhan Mengbai only remembered that there was an unfathomable and profound martial arts master over there, he swung his sword, and immediately turned his eyes to look, only to see three rough firewood houses at the end of the open space. There was still a pile of flames burning in the firewood house, and two men in ragged clothes were cutting up Huang Hu's horse "Qian Li Xue" with a knife. In front of the crude wood house, flames were flickering, reflecting a bald, skinny old man with white beard sitting reclined on a huge wooden chair. The old man's lower body was covered with a piece of animal skin, and his upper body was so thin that only a bone remained. He had a high forehead and wide cheekbones, and his face was full of sickness, but there seemed to be an indescribable strange light in his flickering eyes. Zhan Mengbai, who was as brave as iron, couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart when he saw the white-haired old man, and stopped involuntarily. The monster-like gaze of the skinny old man was also fixed on him without blinking. Those ragged men had already fled behind these people. These people not only had tattered clothes, but their bodies were also dirty and thin, and there was an indescribable look of hunger and thirst on their faces, as if they were starved to death in a famine year. Long Haoren, Huang Hu and others have all traveled the rivers and lakes for a long time, but they have never seen such poor and hungry people, let alone imagined that there are such poor strong men and thieves in the world, so they were stunned for a while. Zhan Mengbai was even more amazed, this old man obviously possessed peerless martial arts, and what he did was robbery, why was his disciple so hungry and poor? This is really even more incomprehensible. Zhan Mengbai's eyes returned to the old man's face again, but this time, as soon as his eyes met the old man's eyes, he seemed unable to move any longer. The old man's shining eyes were deeply sunken under the high browbones. Zhan Mengbai stared at those eyes for an unknown amount of time, and saw that these eyes suddenly turned dark blue, dark purple, and amber again. All kinds of shining lights actually made Zhan Mengbai's eyes sting suddenly, his eyelids shrank for a while, and he couldn't help but lower his head. This is a strange thing that Zhan Mengbai has never encountered in his life. At the moment when his eyes hurt just now, if the other party stabbed him with a move, how could he dodge it? Shocked and frightened in his heart, he raised his head and saw Huang Hu's gaze, but still fixed on the old man's eyes, as if nothing happened. I only heard the old man speak suddenly, with a dry voice, calm and slow, and said slowly: "Young man, are you surprised?" Although the old man didn't specify who he was speaking to, Zhan Mengbai seemed to know that he was speaking to himself, so he couldn't help but nodded. The old man said: "You feel the difference in your eyes, but your companion doesn't? This is not because you are weaker than him, but because you are too strong." His calm and slow voice caught Zhan Mengbai's mind from the very beginning, making it impossible for him not to concentrate and listen attentively. The old man continued: "What you see in the eyes of the old man is only your own murderous and domineering aura. If you can be weaker, you will be invincible in this world." Although Zhan Mengbai still couldn't understand the philosophy contained in his words, his mood was already fluctuating greatly, so he couldn't help showing a kind of respect for his predecessors to the old man, and he held his palm tightly on the hilt of his sword, as if gradually I broke out in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly let out a long sigh, and slowly said: "It's a pity that a talent like you can't get out of this circle of death alive today." Huang Hu suddenly shouted: "Who said Zhan Mengbai couldn't get out alive?" The old man said: "Who is Zhan Mengbai?" Huang Hu pointed at Zhan Mengbai, and shouted: "He is Zhan Mengbai, who in the world doesn't know Zhan Mengbai's reputation, who can beat him?" He is full of confidence in Zhan Mengbai wholeheartedly, other than that, he doesn't care about anything, so at this moment he is the only one who can scold him loudly. The old man's eyes were staring blankly at his palm, and the look in his eyes was even more strange, and he suddenly said tremblingly: "There is... there is one..." Huang Hu said loudly: "What's the matter, have you ever heard what I said?" Unexpectedly, the old man sighed again: "Nothing... nothing..." Huang Hu was stunned for a while, and thought to himself: "Could it be that this old man is demented? Why does he talk so confusingly that people can't understand him?" But Zhan Mengbai felt that the old man's words not only contained extremely profound martial arts principles, but also that there seemed to be some mysterious stories hidden in every word and sentence. Suddenly, there was a woman's wailing voice in the air, calling intermittently: "Dead, dead, all dead..." Then, a black shadow fell straight down from mid-air, passed over Zhan Mengbai's head, and fell into the old man's palm, which turned out to be a parrot. Zhan Mengbai suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and stayed on the ground like a stone statue. But Huang Hu shouted again: "So it's this little bird, no wonder there are no women in the forest, it turns out that the cry of the woman who lured us into the forest just now was uttered by this bird." The old man said: "Not bad." Huang Hu jumped up and shouted: "Why did you lure us here? Bah! Robbers are as poor as you, and you can imagine how stupid you are." He turned around and pointed at Zhan Mengbai, cursing: "Poor and stupid bandits like you want to deal with my brother Zhan, isn't it just a dream?" A cruel and miserable smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he said slowly: "The old man lured you into the forest just to eat your horse meat." Huang Hu was shocked, and said loudly: "What... what?" The surprise he felt when he saw the saddle by the road just now finally had the answer.But this answer was even more unexpected. The old man said with a sad smile: "For decades, this old man has used all his wisdom and strength to seek food, but he still rarely gets enough food all year round." Huang Hu was stunned for a while, then said loudly, "What did you say? We don't understand." The old man said: "Anyway, you won't be able to leave, and you will gradually understand." Huang Hu sternly said: "Who says we can't leave?" The old man said: "You only need to take one more step out of this open space, within a moment, there will be a soul-hunting killer coming to take your life." Huang Hu laughed wildly: "You old man who can't even eat enough, can you be regarded as a soul-hunting killer? Haha, let's try." The old man said: "It's not the old man, there is someone else." Huang Hu shouted: "Who?" In the eyes of the old man, a ray of resentment suddenly flashed, and he said slowly: "He is the one who has trapped the old man here for decades." Huang Hu said: "Why didn't I see it just now?" The old man said: "If you don't step here, you may survive. Once you enter this circle, it will be difficult to give birth. This is the commandment that this person has set up decades ago. You have not entered this circle just now, so naturally he will not teach you see him." Huang Hu said angrily, "We don't believe any precepts." The old man suddenly let out a sinister laugh, and his voice became more slow, but in this slow voice, it seemed to suddenly add a strange and frightening force. He said slowly: "Did you see the people behind the old man? These hungry ghost-like people, when they came here, they were all alive and well like you. "Did you see the man picking up a piece of horse meat to roast? Looking at his hunger and humbleness, can you believe that he is the famous swordsman Li Songfeng twenty years ago? "Have you seen the man who is cutting the horse meat? He cuts a piece of horse meat, but it seems that it takes a lot of effort. Can you believe that he is lighting Cangke Zhao Mingdeng?" Although the old man didn't look back, he seemed to see every move behind him. Huang Hu couldn't help turning his eyes following his words, the blood in his body suddenly seemed to be frozen inch by inch. The old man continued: "When they came here, they were all like you, they didn't believe in this commandment, but at this moment, they all believe it. "They saw people who were smarter than themselves rushing out desperately, but no one could walk ten steps, and no one had ever been able to walk ten steps." Huang Hu listened without choice, his breathing gradually became heavy. The old man said: "That's why they would rather endure hunger, loneliness, filth, thirst, and many other inhuman torments, and dare not go out again." "And these many kinds of pain are so long that there is no end. They are just painful tortures that have gradually taken away their ambitions, and they can only endure. "Looking at their martial arts today, you must find it ridiculous. It's just because they have used all their energy to fight hunger, and their martial arts will naturally decline day by day. One day, you will suddenly find that you have become like them .Unless you die here today." The ragged man behind the old man was trembling slightly, and his face showed shame and grief. The situation was really horrible. But as soon as the smell of horse meat came out from the fire, the shame and grief of these people disappeared immediately, and they immediately turned into hungry and greedy ghosts again. Looking at them, Huang Hu's heart trembled even more, his cold sweat dripped down, he suddenly braved up and shouted: "That guy outside the forest, isn't he a ghost?" The old man said: "Even if it's not a ghost, it's almost the same." Huang Hu said: "As long as it's human, Big Brother Zhan can handle it." The old man smiled bitterly and said: "In today's world, except for the old man, no one is a match for those two, but the old man can't move at this moment." Huang Hu couldn't help shouting: "Who are you?" The old man said sadly: "How can a person like you recognize this old man..." Huang Hu said angrily, "That may not be possible." Huo Ran turned around, grabbed the palms of Huangzhou Dao and Xinyang Gou, and hissed: "Do you two recognize him?" Long Haoren and Lin Qiugu, sweating all over their heads, shook their heads in silence. Huang Hu paused and said: "You two don't know each other, how did you come here?" Long Hao's face was pale, and he said: "There is a group of green forest friends in this misty forest, they are my acquaintances, although they have repeatedly warned me not to enter this place, but my brother is concerned about the safety of the two of you, and will Breaking in is just a secret in the forest, and my brothers don't know about it either." Huang Hu paused and said: "Can you explain clearly, who can understand?" Long Hao reached out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, calmed down, and told the story: "My brother has long wanted to make friends with Zhan Daxia, so how could he say goodbye easily, and he was afraid that Zhan Daxia would not want me to follow, so although Ming Farewell, but always follow secretly. "But after entering the mountain, they suddenly lost their traces. "My brother was startled and terrified. When he found the place where the Misty Forest is, he couldn't make up his mind whether to enter the place known as the 'ghost forest' for a long time. "At this moment, two people rushed out of the forest in embarrassment. "One of these two people is Zhang Qi, 'Xiao Dao', and the other is Kong San, 'Peeling', both of them are in Guankou Green Forest. Seeing his panicked expression, my brother stopped him. "The two of them escaped from my brother's hands in the past, but they haven't shown up in Jianghu for many days. When they saw my brother, they naturally didn't dare to come and say hello. "My brother asked him if he had seen the two knights, and he was chattering at first, but finally said that the two were in the forest at the moment. "My brother naturally wanted to go into the forest to look for it immediately, but these two people tried their best to stop them, saying that once they entered this forest, they would not survive. My brother asked repeatedly, but Zhang Qi, the 'small knife', only said: 'This is a lost forest. There are murderous intentions lurking everywhere, and there is also a mysterious old man.' I refused to say anything else. "My brother saw his frightened expression and became more and more worried, so he asked him to tell the way into the forest. The two of them hesitated again and again, and finally Zhang Qi said: 'After entering the forest, every time you pass three trees, change the direction. , you can find the mysterious old man.' "After saying this, the two of them knelt on the ground and begged my brother to let him escape. My brother only thought about the two of them, so he let them go and went straight into the forest..." Huang Hu took a long breath, frowned even tighter, his chest was still full of suffocation, he shook his head and said, "You two only know so much?" Long Haoren sighed: "My little brother is full of doubts." The old man suddenly stopped and said, "What else do you need to know?" Huang Hu said: "What are Zhang Qi and Kong San's group?" The old man said: "They have no place to stay in the rivers and lakes, and they saw that this lost forest is a good place to rob, so they ventured in. "They came here by accident to see the old man, and the old man stopped them from afar and made a fair deal with them." Huang Hu asked in surprise, "What deal?" The old man said slowly: "The old man instructed them to set up some ambushes and traps in the misty forest, and to think of ways to lure pedestrians into this misty forest. "But the old man's exchange condition is that after they loot the pedestrian's property, they must drive the pedestrian's horse here." Huang Hu said angrily, "What a vicious deal." The old man sighed sadly: "If you have endured decades of hunger, you can do something ten times more vicious." He laughed miserably, and continued: "It's just pity that they ambush Fang Zibucheng, only made the first transaction, and he suffered the same thing as the people in the past, and they were poisoned together." Huang Hu changed color and said: "Who else was there in the past?" The old man said slowly: "In the past few decades, I don't know how many batches of people like Zhang Qi have made the same deal with this old man. As long as they don't step on this open space, no matter what they do in the lost forest, they will be safe. Well, so they're bound to be able to do the first deal." His voice was suddenly full of cruelty and misery, and he continued: "But after they made the first transaction and sent food and horses, they were about to be murdered immediately." Huang Hu trembled: "Why?" The old man said slowly: "It's just because they have brought food and helped the old man, and after helping the old man, no one has ever lived an extra day in this world." When a gust of wind blew, Huang Hu felt that his clothes were cold and soaked through. He suddenly remembered Zhan Mengbai, until now, there was no movement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhan, do you know who this ghostly old man is?" Zhan Mengbai's gaze was fixed on the old man all the time, as if he was obsessed with it. Huang Hu was shocked and said: "Brother Zhan, you..." Zhan Mengbai woke up suddenly, stretched out his finger to the old man's palm, and said slowly: "Look, what's wrong with this palm?" Huang Hu was sane, and at this moment he had already been intimidated by all kinds of mysteries in this maze forest, he couldn't help himself, he stared at the past, and then lowered his head to look at his palm. The old man and Huang Hu both have seven fingers on their right palms. Zhan Mengbai slowly said again: "Look at his ears again." His voice has also become obsessed. Huang Hu couldn't help staring at it in a daze, and saw that the old man's ears were of different sizes, the earlobe of the right ear was a few times longer than his lips, and above the earlobe, there were five bright red flesh beads. And Zhan Mengbai said again: "Look at his left eye again." Huang Hu took a breath and turned his eyes to look around. The old man's left eye was emitting a flickering light. When he looked carefully, he discovered that his eye actually had two pupils. Zhan Mengbai said slowly: "Did you see clearly?" Huang Hu wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and said loudly, "I see clearly." Zhan Mengbai said: "You see clearly, do you still recognize him?" Huang Hu was stunned for a while, and said: "Of course I still don't recognize it." Turning around, he said: "Do you two recognize each other?" Long Haoren and Lin Qiugu shook their heads blankly. Zhan Mengbai Daqi said: "It's weird...it's weird..." I saw that the old man's face suddenly showed excitement, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...do you recognize the old man?" But Zhan Mengbai didn't seem to have heard his words, he just read slowly: "The heart has nine orifices, the spirit within the spirit, seven fingers from the palm, the ingenuity of ingenuity, five beads hanging in the ear, the difference in the difference, the eyes with Three pupils, the strangest of the strange..." Turning around suddenly, he said loudly, "The three of you have traveled around the world for a long time, but haven't you heard this sentence?" Long Haoren, Lin Qiugu, and Huang Hu shook their heads together and said, "I've never heard of it." Zhan Mengbai suddenly smiled sadly, and said: "I didn't expect that this peerless hero is indeed an unknown person, today I finally believe it." The old man looked even more excited, and said: "Do you really know this old man?" Zhan Mengbai said slowly: "Decades ago, there was a peerless hero in the martial arts world, he not only possessed peerless martial arts, but also possessed peerless wisdom. “在他眼中，世上绝无办不到的事，只因无论什么艰难的问题，到了他手中，都将迎刃而解，但是——武林中却仅有三五人知道他。 “只因他从来不肯以真面目示人，却有着千百化身。 “他不知用过多少个化身化名，虽然每个化名，他只用一次，但仅只一次，已足以令他这化名轰动武林。 “他这种神秘的身世与性格，使得他本身就变成了武林中一件绝大的隐秘。我听到他的故事时，实是难以相信。 “但今日我却是终于见到了这故事的主人，知道武林中当真没有人认得他，是以才不禁生出惊骇之心……” 那老人突然截口道：“看你方才的样子，不但惊骇诧异，而且还有些痴迷失望，却又是为了什么？” 展梦白垂首叹道：“只因在下曾听人说起，无论是谁，见到这位奇侠时，若不认得他的，都可向他请教一个难题。 “但若是认出了他的，非但不能向他请教难题，立时还有灾祸临头，而在下此刻正有极大的难题，想要请教前辈，只恨在下方才还不甚相信这些神秘的传说，情不自禁，便说出了前辈的异处特征！” 那老人面色激动，亦不知是惊是喜。 良久良久，他方自沉声道：“是谁告诉你的？” 展梦白肃然道：“帝王谷主。” 老人激动的面色，似乎又微微一变，喃喃道：“帝王谷主……帝王谷主……”突地沉声道：“举起你手中之剑。” 展梦白微一迟疑，终于还是缓缓举起了掌中铁剑。 老人目光凝注，又沉声道：“尽你之力，以你掌中之剑，施一招'凤凰单展翅'，不多不少，只要这一招一式。” 展梦白只觉这老人目中光芒，委实教人难以违抗，当下脚步微错，铁剑旋转，急地挥出一招“凤凰单展翅”。这一招自左而右，破风而去，他身形也藉势转了半圈。 但激荡的剑风还未消散，他便又面向原处，铁剑也又已隐在肘后，招式收发之迅急，端的有如羚羊挂角，无迹可寻。 林秋谷兄弟两人不禁暗中骇然，黄虎朗声笑道：“看到了么？就凭展大侠这一剑，还怕闯不出林去？” 高亢的笑声与凌厉的剑风互相冲激，久久都未消失。
