If Jiang Hu refuses, he may arouse public anger. No matter how much he refuses to accept, he must keep up with the pace of the large army to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.
Lingzhu didn't say anything at the side. Although she was unruly, she was not willful, and she also understood the principles and the sophistication of people.
The matter came to an end. The third elder and the fourth elder had nothing to say and left with everyone with cold faces.
When Jiang Hu wanted to leave, he was stopped by the national master and the great elder, and Lingzhu also stayed.
"Jiang Hu, do you know why I kept you here?"
The Imperial Master looked at the young man and asked helplessly, this disciple's ability to cause trouble was no worse than his own daughter.
Hey - how will I live my life from now on...
"Disciple knows."
The Imperial Master and the Grand Elder had great supernatural powers, and it was impossible not to notice traces of fighting along the way, so they had no choice but to tell the truth honestly.
The two people who knew the truth couldn't help but sigh. Liang Feifan had shot her own life.
...
Back at Yihongyuan, Lingzhu and Jiang Hu told him some things that needed to be paid attention to outside, as well as ways to deal with the Thousand-faced Smiling Tiger. The best way was to run away.
She also revealed some information. It was not only the punished disciples who came down the mountain this time, but also many inner disciples. Some disciples' strength reached the level of copper skin and iron bones, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Here are four detonating talismans that I got from your Uncle Hua. These talismans are dangerous and cannot be used on yourself. They are powerful enough to injure and kill a strong man with bronze skin and iron bones..."
These four explosive talismans are good life-saving items. She also said that she used a pound of dragon blood and Hua Ruyu to exchange for them. They are extremely precious, so the apprentice can use them sparingly.
Jiang Hu stretched out his trembling hands and took it, feeling extremely grateful.
I heard that Master Hua is the master of spells in the Imperial Prefecture. The force he cultivates has the power of spells, which is also a kind of force. It is said that the master who practices the power of spells can draw the ground as a prison, and can cast spells on everything. He is extremely powerful.
tyrannical.
The original world is full of wonders, and these various powers are really fascinating.
It's a pity that manpower is limited, and even the master doesn't know how to do it, so he himself is destined to be unable to practice these skills.
After a long night, Jiang Hu returned to the room and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
When he had insomnia, Jiang Hu would practice all night long, and when there were enough medicinal materials, he would occasionally refine elixirs. Taking advantage of his insomnia, Jiang Hu took out a small cauldron and pumped the original power of fire into it. There were some rare things in it.
The volcanic rough stone was baked by the force, and the volcanic rough stone started to burn in a short time.
This small cauldron was given by Lingzhu. It was very compact and mini, as if it was for a girl, but Jiang Hu didn't care.
Any cauldron that can refine good elixirs is a good cauldron.
Now I am practicing cultivation and refining elixir at the same time without delaying both. It is also a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
The materials for the Juyuan Pill have been collected deep in the back mountain. The materials are divided into sixteen flavors, three seven-star grasses, one raw ginseng, three ground centipedes...
Some of these materials were given by Lingzhu before, and some were found by me before.
Although Lingzhu had a lot of materials for refining the elixir, she no longer needed to take the Juyuan Pill to practice, so there were not many low-level materials, and they were quickly eaten up by Jianghu Huohuo.
Now that he is running out of herbs, he can't do it even if he shamelessly goes to Lingzhu to get it. The master leads him in, and cultivation is personal, that's what he thinks, not to mention that a dignified Chinese man should strive for self-improvement.
Even though he is still underage, his two lives have made him mentally more mature and stable than ordinary young people, and he is also trying to practice independently.
Put the herbs into the medicine furnace in batches, then sit down and meditate quietly. After waiting for a few hours, there was a sound coming from the cauldron. Then I picked up a cauldron needle and stirred the herbs inside to spread the medicine inside evenly.
After adding the prepared dragon's blood, there was a "bang!" sound and the medicine cauldron vibrated slightly.
Jiang Hu picked up the cauldron with his left hand, opened the top of the furnace with his right hand, poured it on the table, and the two Juyuan Pills were refined. He couldn't wait to eat one, and felt the fragrance lingering in his mouth. He couldn't help but admire: "
It smells so good!”
It’s just that after eating, my head felt slightly itchy, and my thoughts became more clear...
It seems like I am really growing my brain.
Jiang Hu didn't know that some other medicines in these pills had other effects, and some of them were used to treat brain-dead people. Lingzhu was worried that his apprentice's brain-dead disease would relapse, so he mixed some medicines for treating brain-dead people into it.
By the time Jiang Hu found out, it was already countless monkey years and horses and months later.
The second day.
The sun had barely exposed half of its head above the distant mountains when a commotion began in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
The disciples have gathered at the martial arts field. The great elder gave a speech, in which he talked about the weaknesses and cunning of the Thousand-faced Smiling Tiger. After that, everyone was asked to assemble their own teams. The team that set off this time consisted of fifty people, divided into
Ten five-person teams.
The Great Elder considered the danger of this mission and asked the five people to act together to avoid accidents.
Many of the inner disciples participated, responsible for leading the team or preparing for dangerous situations. Each person was given a flare in his hand. When a target is discovered, the flare can be sent into the sky, and everyone can rush over to help in time.
Even if the Thousand-Faced Smiling Tiger is a century-old monster, it will be difficult for him to quickly defeat a team of five people.
To Jiang Hu's surprise, someone actually enthusiastically invited him to join the team, and one of the four people in the team was an extremely powerful inner disciple.
Inner disciples have excellent cultivation talents and advanced cultivation. If you want to become an inner disciple, you must meet the requirements for becoming an inner disciple. You can join the ranks of inner disciples after completing tasks and gaining approval from the elders.
Inner sect disciples have great advantages over outer sect disciples. They can get more resources and receive special treatment from the elders and national masters. Those with good talents can become the elders' direct disciples and be taught by the elders themselves.
The treatment of inner and outer disciples is very different.
Of course, some disciples are extremely talented and are chosen by the elders to join directly.
Therefore, inner disciples are divided into direct disciples and non-direct disciples. Although this disciple is not the elder's direct disciple, he is still a powerful inner disciple.
The four of them are all around 27 or 28 years old, and can be said to have rich combat experience.
"Junior Brother Jiang Hu, please be sure to join our team."
"Are you Jiang Hu? I have admired the eldest princess for a long time. I never thought I would be lucky enough to meet you. I hope junior brother will not delay and join our team."
Jiang Hu originally wanted to be a lone ranger and not join the team, but the team was missing one person. It would be unkind to postpone it. Moreover, he did not want to disobey the elders' arrangements and act independently and be a lone wolf.
"Then thank you four senior brothers for your kindness."
When the four of them heard that Jiang Hu agreed to join, they were immediately happy and introduced themselves one by one.
"Junior brother Jiang Hu, this is Li Liang."
"I'm here, You Liang."
...
One is tall and handsome, named Li Liang, and is an inner disciple. There is another one who looks fatter, named Liang You, and the other two are more ordinary-looking, one is named Zhang Xiaolong and the other is named Li Tianming.
Experienced elite disciples.
"Thank you all for the invitation, senior brothers. I'm very grateful. I would like to express my gratitude here."
When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Jiang Hu is secretly wary. The four of them don't know why they picked him. It's really strange.
Let's wait and see what happens...
At the order of the great elder, the group set off from the martial arts field in a mighty manner. The team began to disperse and search for traces of the Smiling Tiger on their own.
Jiang Hu was extremely vigilant and silently followed the four people, hoping that they would not have any evil thoughts.
Gradually, the figures of other teams dispersed, like a big net, cast into the mountains and forests.
Tianlong Mountains.
The sun shines lazily in the mountains and forests, and the lush trees occasionally reflect colorful rays of light. The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, and casts spots on the ground. The ground looks like a big mottled fish in the warm ocean.
motionless under the sunshine.
Several figures quickly crossed the sun-dappled ground and galloped into the distance.
Jiang Hu followed the four people from a distance, silently, not daring to expose his backside to these people. He vaguely felt that joining this team was extremely dangerous.
Seeing that the young man was so alert, the four of them ignored him and went on their way.
The five people soon arrived not far from the place where Liang Feifan died, and stopped to discuss countermeasures.
"If you search all the way, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's better to set a trap and wait for the smiling tiger to come."
Li Liang suggested making a trap to wait for work.
"Well, I agree with this method. Only by waiting for work can you save the most strength against the enemy."
Several people agreed and agreed with this method.
"Junior Brother Jiang Hu, what do you think?" Li Liang looked at Jiang Hu with a half-smile but asked.
"Well, I agree."
Now he just wants to be a salty fish in the water, wait for the matter to be over, go back to practice, and find the Smiling Tiger. Master has said that the Smiling Tiger is extremely insidious and cunning, and she has no hope for this action.
This is just a big trial.
A few people caught a wild boar, fed it poison, and placed it in a trap to wait.
Jiang Hu was secretly surprised. These people couldn't possibly not know that this method was doomed to fail. The Thousand-Faced Smiling Tiger had probably already transformed into a human form. With the intelligence of this monster, it was impossible not to see that this was a trap.
Perhaps, only by using a living person as bait can it be possible to lure it out.
Two days later, his idea came true.
After two days of waiting, someone in the team raised an objection and believed that the best way to hunt was to use humans as bait to lure the smiling tiger to the bait.
Jiang Hu was about to refuse, but Li Liang volunteered and used himself as the bait on the first day, sitting alone in the trap to lure the smiling tiger.
"Senior Brother Li Liang, no, we are just discussing, there is no need to use ourselves as bait."
Several people tried to dissuade him, but Jiang Hu watched with vigilance, muttering secretly in his heart, feeling self-doubt.
Is it possible that these people are really just hunting the smiling tiger and have no ill intentions towards him? In any case, he must be on guard against others, and Jiang Hu secretly warned himself to be careful.
Li Liang spent a long time in the trap, and nothing happened. In the evening, it was Liang You's turn, and he did not hesitate to enter the trap. When it was their turn, the other two consciously entered the trap to act as bait.
.
At three quarters of noon the next day,
Jiang Hu smiled bitterly to himself, it was finally his turn.
However, this time period is not an auspicious time.
"Junior Brother Jiang Hu, you don't have to be afraid. We have checked the trap. As long as you follow the path we took, there will be no problem."
"If the smiling tiger dares to come, I will take credit for you!" Liang You patted Jiang Hu on the shoulder and showed a meaningful smile.
At this time, we are in a dilemma. If we don't go in, we will only become the laughing stock of others and cause dissatisfaction. If we go in, we will fear that the other party will deceive us.
That’s all,
Anyway, I not only have explosive symbols in my hand, but also flares. Whenever I find something wrong, I will use it immediately.
In the end, Jiang Hu still chose to trust his fellow disciples and stepped into the trap.
He had also seen the trap when it was set up, but he was still very careful when walking to avoid losing his footing and stepping on the trap, and gradually moved into the center of the trap.
"Haha, Jiang Hu, I've been waiting for you for a few days, and I finally fell into the trap!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of ridicule, and the four of them saw Jiang Hu entering the trap, showing his fierce look.
