After listening to Xu Qingnian's story, Zhou Tian curled his lips disdainfully.
"They are all heretics. From the very beginning when I learned about Haotian Pavilion, I knew they were not good people. Today, when I saw them, they turned out to be used to hurting others in secret."
Xu Qingnian and Zhou Tian lay on the ground, looking around cautiously, their eyes always staring ahead, like leopards hunting.
But Zhou Tian always felt something was wrong and glanced sideways at Lao Xu.
"Just now you said that this forest village is to prevent Haotian Pavilion from spies. Why are they so skillful in walking around in this area and knowing how to sneak attack on us?"
Although Xu Qingnian was old, his body was very flexible. While Zhou Tian was asking questions, he rolled forward to a place twenty meters away from Zhou Tian.
He turned around and said softly: "I must have cracked the mechanism here. From the beginning, the master and I suspected that there were already traitors in the Xuantian Sect."
"Otherwise they wouldn't be able to shuttle back and forth in this forest so easily without any damage."
Zhou Tian also followed Xu Qingnian closely, and the two of them crawled forward in the bamboo forest, like two flexible snakes, moving very fast.
Hearing Xu Qingnian say that there was a traitor in the Xuantian Sect, Zhou Tian's heart sank: Could it be Elder Ye Wensheng?
Zhou Tian was thinking about it when suddenly a warm wind blew around him. Although it was early spring, the weather was still very cold, and the empty bamboo forest would not be so warm.
“It doesn’t stop when you touch the warm air!”
He suddenly thought of the jingle Xu Qingnian told him not long ago, and hurriedly got up and ran forward.
When I looked up, I saw that Lao Xu had long disappeared. When I calmed down and looked forward, I saw that he had already passed through the bamboo forest.
Lao Xu stood at the end of the bamboo forest, with mysterious grass on his left. The height of the grass was as high as his shoulders. He looked to his left and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Old Xu?"
"The direction of the three sharp blades just now is at the end of the bamboo forest. Haotian Pavilion's spies should be nearby. The left side is grass and the right side is woods. They will not appear in those two places at all."
I walked around and looked around, but I didn't feel anything strange. Although this whole forest village is complicated, careful observation can tell that it is impossible to live in this hundred-mile radius.
Not even a single cave or crypt can be seen, let alone hiding people.
"Old Xu, although I read less books and was more playful when I was a child, I am still knowledgeable after all. This forest village is so empty and there is no place to hide. Where can I find a hiding place?"
While talking, Zhou Tian looked towards the sky and saw a few crows watching them leisurely on the treetops.
From time to time he would make that disgusting cry.
"That's a bad sign, damn crow."
Zhou Tian thought to himself, looking at the deathly silent Linzhai around him, feeling indescribably anxious.
Although few people usually walk around the forest village outside Tianqian Town, people from other towns are occasionally seen, mostly to reduce the distance. Passing through this forest village is Tianqian Town, which is half of the other roads.
save time and energy.
But in recent years, there have been more and more crows here. People who often walk around here think it is a bad omen. Naturally, the number of people passing by here has become very few, and even half a month has not seen anyone.
shadow.
After Xu Qingnian heard the crow, his expression suddenly changed and he looked up.
"I see."
"What turns out to be that?"
Zhou Tian looked at Xu Qingnian's face curiously, looked into his solemn eyes and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Crows mainly inhabit low mountains, plains and mountains. Most of them are resident birds and will not survive in such areas."
"Even if there are crows, there are only two or three of them. They are social animals, usually thousands of them, at least hundreds of them!"
"Then there is only one possibility!"
After saying that, he pointed hard at the treetop with two fingers of his left hand.
A streak of white gas passed by and hit a crow very quickly.
Zhou Tian watched attentively, and couldn't help but think in his heart: He is indeed the King of Qi, and there will be a huge impact of air flow between his two fingers.
"Old Xu, why are you hunting crows?"
Xu Qingnian didn't want to explain too much, so he took a step back and stood calmly looking up into the sky.
Zhou Tian was looking around idly. He didn't understand why he was standing at the end of the bamboo forest and hunting crows. Could it be that he had nothing to do and couldn't find a place for the Haotian Pavilion spies to perch and was deliberately passing the time?
He was a little impatient and wanted to talk to Xu Qingnian.
Suddenly, the golden light flashed in front of Zhou Tian's eyes, and then he was slapped on the chest. Zhou Tian was knocked away several meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood. There was a dull pain in his chest. He couldn't get up for a while, and put his hands on the ground. , taking a cold look, the Qihai tendons actually shrank back a few inches.
Could it be that every time someone is hit in the chest, the Qi Hai tendons will shrink back?
Who is attacking me and why is there no trace?
Xu Qingnian hurriedly helped Zhou Tian up and took his pulse: "I thought it was right. Those crows are the spies of Haotian Pavilion. I found this place with the master before, and killed a few. I didn't expect them." You can actually change your own form, you underestimated them."
Zhou Tian read a lot of fairy tales and listened to a lot of dream stories from storytellers in the town, but he never thought that there really was such a person in the world and he could change his own form?
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, you pretentious people have the ability to show up to fight with me. Do you want to scare us away with the crow of crows? What a joke!"
Zhou Tian deliberately angered them and wanted them to show their true colors and compete with him.
But I don’t know if this low-level provoking method will work.
"puff!"
A second mouthful of blood spat out, causing Xu Qingnian to panic.
"Master, you'd better sit on the ground and rest for a while. The slap you just gave me was too hard. If you use more force, I'm afraid it will leave some bad roots."
"Now is the key for you to improve your skills and break through the Qi Sea. I don't want your hopes to be extinguished because of something like this."
It was obvious that Xu Qingnian did not fail to see Zhou Tian's provocation. Even the mouthful of blood he vomited for the second time was intentional, in order to make these spies relax their vigilance and show their true colors.
After a long time, there was still no movement, and Zhou Tian gradually lost confidence.
"Old Xu, let's go. Now that you know the secret, you can come back when I get better."
So Xu Qingnian helped Zhou Tian who was sitting on the ground and walked towards the bamboo forest again.
"Hmm...um...huh?"
There was a quick gasp, a familiar smell, and a gentle tapping sound...
Zhou Tian suddenly turned around and saw the man in black armor and golden mask standing behind them, and the one he was holding in his left hand was Ye Youyou.
Youyou's mouth was covered with black cloth. No wonder she heard that strange sound just when Zhou Tian and Xu Qingnian turned to leave. It turned out that they wanted to shout but couldn't.
"Let her go!"
Zhou Tian's eyes were cracked, his eyes were as cold as ice, his fists were clenched, and his whole body was shaking.
Xu Qingnian also slowly took a few steps forward. "Old Xu! Don't come forward. If you do, this woman will die! Didn't this guy just say he wanted to challenge us? I will satisfy you today!"
After that, seven or eight more masked people appeared behind this masked person, all wearing the same outfit and height.
He looked at Xu Qingnian sideways and frowned: "Old Xu, what kind of trick is this?"
Just as Xu Qingnian was about to speak in a low voice, the masked man viciously pressed his thumb on Youyou's neck.
“Hmm…well…!”
Seeing Youyou's painful expression, Zhou Tian couldn't bear it anymore.
"Lao Xu, please stay back and don't ask. Father once said that you have to solve everything by yourself. In this case, if you let Youyou go, I will fight you fairly!"
The masked man slowly handed Youyou to the other person behind him, then threw the black cloak on the ground, crooked his mouth, and smiled.
In the blink of an eye, he came to the tip of Zhou Tian's nose and slapped him with another palm.
The speed of the masked man was unexpected by Zhou Tian, but he easily dodged the palm. Although the distance was very close and ordinary people could not avoid it, Zhou Tian, who was from the Xuantian Sect, used the Tiger-Shaped Dragon Intention Fist.
Achieved a state of recluse.
This was something Xu Qingnian could not have expected.
Not even his father taught him this move, but since he entered the dreamland for the second time, there have been more and more inexplicable moves.
It may look flashy to the outside world, but to him, it is indeed much more powerful than before.
"Long Yin? Your boxing skills have been put to full use. It seems that I have to admire you. You have such profound skills at such a young age, but you don't seem to have the blessing of Qi Hai."
The masked man blurted out these words, but Zhou Tian was stunned.
Ever since he knew it was the masked man who kidnapped Ye Youyou, he always thought it was the one he met for the first time last time.
But now this person doesn't know that his Qi Sea is locked. Could it be that they are not the only ones with masks, and there are others who are not here.
"Master! Be careful."
Just as he was thinking about it, the masked man struck again, flying out with a kick, holding a long sword in his right hand that he didn't know when.
Zhou Tian followed the direction of his kick and spun around in the opposite direction. Then he stopped suddenly and punched the masked man in the abdomen.
A punch made the surrounding fallen leaves fly, and dust flew wherever the wind passed by.
The masked man received a heavy punch, but it didn't seem to be a big deal. The long sword in his right hand held the good sword flower, and then with a slight push, the long sword stabbed Zhou Tian's armpit with lightning speed.
Zhou Tian once again used the Dragon Yin in the Tiger Shape Long Yi Fist to disappear.
Seeing this, Xu Qingnian seized the opportunity and rushed behind the masked man. In an instant, he grabbed Ye Youyou's arm, then took a step back and rescued him.
The masked man never expected to be caught off guard by Zhou Tian and fell headlong into the grass nearby.
Zhou Tian wanted to uncover this man's mask, capture him and take him back to Zhou Mansion.
But who would have expected that just like last time, a black mist suddenly appeared and disappeared, and the crows also disappeared.
Xu Qingnian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I guessed it. The masked man just now was surrounded by his shadow, but he was actually the only one."
Zhou Tian lifted the black cloth in front of Youyou's mouth, feeling very excited.
"Youyou is okay, it's okay."
He hugged her hard, feeling extremely excited and smiling so brightly that even Xu Qingnian was envious when he saw it.
