Chapter 21: Cause and Effect

Heifeng Mountain is not tall or majestic among the Shiwanda Mountains.

Apart from the legend about the Black Wind, this place is almost useless, a barren place.

But when people climb the mountain, they will find that it has been shrouded in mist all year round, and the mountain is bitingly cold. Even when the sun shines on them, they feel cold.

An old man from Jinzimen walked up the ridge and looked at the mountains and forests in front of him. He already had the intention of retreating in his heart: "There is such a heavy evil spirit. This place is an unusual place. There are dangerous peaks intertwined. It is so fierce and evil. It looks like a ghost mountain."

, it’s not like a holy place.”

"I heard that when they went into the mountains to suppress bandits, three thousand bandits gathered here and refused to surrender. In the end, they even killed all the villagers and children they had kidnapped. So many people were buried here, so it's natural that they have a lot of resentment."

Next to the old gentleman, a young man wearing glasses was chatting. He had obviously done some homework before going up the mountain.

Everyone looked at the young man, and saw that the young man had a light demeanor. Although he looked a little delicate, his movements did not appear stingy, especially his eyes, which were clear and bright. Looking at the equipment on his body, it was clear that this young man was not from a wealthy family.

That's expensive.

Seeing this, the old gentleman couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and raised his hand to the young man: "Thuja cypress looked at the river, and the ground was scorched by sparks. One step in the door and one step outside. Little brother, what are you choosing? Can you give me some advice?"

The old gentleman's words rhymed quite a bit, so the young man naturally understood it clearly. The first two sentences were about self-declaration of family status. The five elements were short of gold, so they started with gold.

One foot in the door and one foot outside. His surname is Li.

When choosing Wan'er, you should ask yourself who the master's name is.

Although the young man understood what he was saying, he didn't travel around the world, so he didn't make any slanderous remarks to the old man. He said bluntly: "I was just passing by and came here to see clearly."

Upon hearing this, several people present looked a little unkindly.

Especially the old Mr. Jinzimen named Li was losing his face.

When I tell you my family status at my age, I am flattering you, but when you pass me by in an understatement, you are slapping someone in the face.

He immediately tapped his toes calmly, and a cool breeze blew in. Anyone with a discerning eye could feel that the aura around him began to change.

"Young man, you have to understand clearly, but you have confused us."

As the old gentleman spoke, he reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder. Patting on the shoulder is a taboo in the world.

What's more, there was a green light on the old man's fingertips, which was obviously not a good thing. However, the young man did not dodge and allowed the old man to pat his shoulder.

He looked at the old gentleman with a smile on his face and said, "Senior, you are pretending to be confused because you understand."

The old gentleman was startled and looked at his hand blankly. After looking carefully, he found that his palm had stopped at a distance less than a finger's gap from the young man's shoulder.

It's not that he wants to stop, it's just that he can't take the shot with this hand.

"this……"

The old man's face changed greatly, but he heard the young man laugh and said: "Old man, Mr. Chu Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Jindian in those days, passed down three sentences. One of them was: Luck can be changed, but fate cannot be violated. What is the last sentence? You

Remember it?"

The old gentleman's body was shaken violently. His eyes were as wide as bells as he stared at the young man and exclaimed: "Don't rush the good news!"

After saying that, he hurriedly let go, but it was too late. The young man shook his shoulders, and the old man's hand hanging on his shoulder immediately burst into two holes. It was as if his hand had been pricked by something invisible. It hurt so much.

The old gentleman had bulging veins on his forehead and kept retreating while covering his hands.

When the few people who were with the old gentleman saw this, their faces turned cold and they were about to take action, but the old gentleman hurriedly stopped them, and then bowed deeply to the young man and said, "You are so reckless, little old man."

"Hey!" The young man grinned, raised his head and continued walking forward.

After the young man left, other people gathered around and asked the old gentleman what was going on.

The old gentleman wiped off the blood on his hands, and when he saw this, he quickly told everyone to lower their voices and whispered: "That guy is from Plum Blossom Village, let's not mess with him."

"Plum Blossom Village!"

Everyone was horrified, and for a moment they all had huge emotions in their hearts, and they did not dare to say any more words.

It seems that I am particularly afraid of these three words.

The group of people hurriedly continued climbing the mountain, but just after taking two steps, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind them. When they looked back, they saw a person rushing from the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing that this man had an unusual look on his face, someone stopped him and asked what was going on.

But the other party refused to stop and just said: "The God of Wealth is here." After that, he continued running forward.

"God of Wealth??"

Several people looked at each other, not knowing who the God of Wealth was.

I saw a group of people behind me carrying a coffin going up the mountain. These people were the same people who were eating cakes at the bottom of the mountain just now. Now they were carrying the big red coffin and climbing up the mountain with bruises and swollen faces.

On top of the coffin, a chair was placed, with a young man sitting on it, his legs crossed, looking leisurely and contented.

"It's him!!"

When they saw the young man's face clearly, the old gentleman and the others were suddenly shocked. They recognized at a glance that the person sitting on the coffin was none other than the God of Wealth they were looking for, Xu Tong!

As the saying goes, there is no place to be found if you step through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

For a moment, several people looked at the figure on the chair, it was like a golden mountain placed on it.

But before they could take action, the old gentleman looked sideways and quickly reached out to grab his companions: "Don't move! Something's wrong!"

Everyone knew the origin of the old gentleman. Although he was not the Commander-in-Chief of Jindian, his seniority was quite high. Strictly speaking, Master Chu Zhao, who had been dead for many years, and him could be regarded as brothers in the same sect.

Seeing him stopping them, they all looked sideways.

"Don't do anything. The four people carrying the coffin are the same ones who were at the bottom of the mountain just now. From the look of them, it doesn't look like they are taking advantage."

When the old gentleman said this, other people saw it, right?

The four people had bruises and swollen faces. If the old gentleman hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have recognized it.

Taking the one who just ran away with me, the five of them are collectively known as the Five Ghosts of Xiangxi. They are good at using ghosts and can be regarded as powerful strangers. But at this moment, four of them can only carry the coffin honestly.

When the four of them saw them, they were stunned for a moment and then quickly lowered their heads, as if they were afraid of being recognized.

Speaking of which, they were also unlucky. When they saw Xu Tonghou, they were so happy that they even stopped eating the cakes and rushed forward, ready to chop him down.

According to the information given by Feng Lailou, this boy has only been a disciple for a few months, and he was a patient who escaped from a lunatic asylum a few months ago.

Who would take a mentally ill person seriously?

However, after they rushed over, they discovered that things were completely different from what they thought.

Xu Tong didn't even make a move when a dark shadow rushed towards him. It was none other than Gao Zhuo.

Gao Zhuo's attack was quite measured and he didn't kill them, but with a wild punch, he knocked five people to the ground and rubbed them.

What are the Five Ghosts of Xiangxi and Xiangxi tofu dregs?

In comparison, in the previous script world, those rookies who had practiced boxing for three years in the martial arts gym were better than them.

As for the skeleton magic they released, it could deal with ordinary people like the old man. Facing Gao Zhuo, it could shatter one with one punch and had no effect at all.

After the fight, Gao Zhuo did not kill them, but simply asked about the situation.

Only after asking this question did they realize that, good guys, it turned out that things were more complicated than they thought.



Three months ago, Feng Lailou dispatched thirty people to swarm into western Hunan. In the same month, there were rumors in the world that a mysterious force had surfaced in Xiangxi, and thirty people from Feng Lailou disappeared overnight.

No one knows who this mysterious force is, and even Feng Lailou has not been able to find out its origins.

Soon, four top masters from Feng Lai Tower entered Hunan, but soon there was no news about the four of them. It was suspected that they had been poisoned by the mysterious force again.

One month later, Feng Lailou issued a wanted order in the Jianghu.

The maximum reward amount is five million, plus one of the twenty-four ancient martial arts books collected by Feng Lailou over the years, and a Linglong Pill. It is said that this pill can avoid three kinds of disadvantages and five deficiencies.

Disadvantages.

Instantly igniting the entire alien circle.

A large number of strangers began to pour into Xiangxi, not only for the five million, but the twenty-four classics and an exquisite pill were enough to make many strangers want to move in their hearts.

And all this is just for one person, Xu Tong.

To put it simply, no one in the world knows this guy's name, and no one in the alien world has heard of it.

Even his master is a little-known figure.

When many people got the information, they immediately wondered whether this guy had blown up Feng Lailou's toilet, allowing Feng Lailou to kill him at all costs.

But wait until they look down and take a look at this boy's apprenticeship.

Luoyang Qimen, studied under Xue Gui.

After seeing these eight words, most people understand. Even if they don't understand, a little inquiry can tell what kind of nightmare these two words Xue Gui are in the hearts of the older generation.

Even some seniors want to take action, not for Feng Lailou's reward, but just to kill Xue Gui's disciple and make his own disciples feel bad.

However, after most people entered Hunan, before they had time to take action, seven murders occurred on the street.

It doesn't matter who killed these seven people, but the bodies were just thrown on the ground, which didn't alert the authorities.

In a small city like Jishou, seven people died on the streets. This was a big case and it became a hot search topic. As a result, there are now searches everywhere in Jishou, and some unlucky guys with criminal records were immediately arrested.

Even without a criminal record, it is difficult to explain why so many people suddenly flocked to Xiangxi.

In short, the official action was faster than they imagined. At this time, a group of Miao people came to the door and invited them into the mountain to participate in their 44-year-old sacred ceremony.

Anyone who participates in the divine sacrifice will receive a generous gift, but the prerequisite is to protect the safety of the Miao clan chiefs.

It's a good time. It's good to go into the mountains to hide. By the way, we can also see the magical power of the legendary seedlings with witchcraft.

Of course, at this juncture, if something like this happened suddenly, it would be false to say that we didn’t doubt it.

But since we've already come, it doesn't matter if we have to venture into the dragon's pond and tiger's den.

As a result, most of the strangers who were originally chasing Xu Tong went up the mountain, and the rest happened just like at this moment.

The five Xiangxi Ghosts who wanted to eat crabs were the first to be pushed to the ground and rubbed by the crabs.

Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo were also surprised.

The two of them always thought that after they hid in the Gao family, Feng Lailou should give up.

But Feng Lailou has been sending people here, and they don't know that it's because someone helped them stop them.

But... who has been secretly helping them?

Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo were confused as to who was helping them.

And as far as Gao Zhuo knew, it was unusual for Xiangxi to have such powerful people. Although the Gao family had some power, they would never be able to reach this level.

The two of them didn't think too much about this. Since so many masters were on the mountain now, Xu Tong also wanted to see how many masters of unique skills were left in the world since the master's blood stained Beimang.

So one of the five ghosts in western Hunan was sent up the mountain to report the news, and the remaining four were just enough to carry the coffin for them.

He then moved out a small stool and sat on the coffin, trying to settle the old scores between Qi Men and these strangers in the world.
