If it felt like spring just now, now everyone feels like summer.
A season is crossed in one step!
There is no longer any shadow of vegetation on the ground at this time, and there is dry sand everywhere, as if you are in a desert.
The road under your feet is a dirt road made of gravel mixed with sand, which stretches into the distance.
If it weren't for the vegetation that can be seen for miles around, it would really make people think that they are in a frontier desert!
The air is dry and windless.
There is a dry smell unique to the desert everywhere.
A hundred feet ahead, there were dozens of houses built in an orderly manner in this "little desert". The thin man pointed there and said, "That's the Evil Tiger Village. Mr. Zhou is right there."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Why do I think the layout of those villages is very strange? It seems that all the houses are built around something. Is there an open space in the center of the village?"
The thin man looked at the front, then at Feng Jiuxiao, and then at the front again, his face full of surprise!
Pang Shishi said angrily: "Why are you so scared? Did my elder brother tell you right?"
The thin man exclaimed: "It's incredible! I can only see some houses and some courtyard walls from here, but I can't see what's behind. This young hero actually knows that the village is an open space. How did you see that?
"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "See? I can't see anything clearly from such a distance!"
The thin man was startled, "What? You can't see clearly? How do you know?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I guessed it!"
Several men were immediately stunned! Damn it, can you guess this?
Occasionally, I found some cobblestones inlaid on the road under my feet, forming some kind of weird pattern. The road is not narrow, and there is no problem in passing a carriage. If two cars meet, there is only sand and not cliffs next to them, so there is no problem in avoiding them.
.
Chili looked at the sand on both sides, and his expression suddenly changed!
She pointed into the distance and shouted: "Look!"
Pang Fifteen and others looked around and saw countless skeletons on the sand, all kinds of human and animal bones.
A breath of death came to my face instantly!
Feng Jiuxiao even found a lot of tiger bones among them! He was immediately stunned! Why did these tiger bones appear here? If the tigers in the Huyuan died of illness or old age, they would most likely deal with it. After all, the tigers were covered in body
It's a treasure. Tiger meat can be eaten, tiger bones can be used as medicine, and tiger treasures can be brewed into wine. It would be a waste to leave them here!
Everyone looked around and found that this place was very strange. If it weren't for the existence of the small village in front, this place would have been like an ancient wild continent, desolate, dry, and lifeless!
After walking for a while, when they were about fifty feet away from the village, everyone discovered that the flag stand at the entrance of the village was actually a watchtower!
There are three archers on the tower!
The thin man held the token high, and the other three men simultaneously raised a small flag and shook it violently!
There is a ferocious tiger embroidered on the small flag!
Pang Shiwu said: "Your token is so small, can they see it clearly?"
The thin man said instinctively: "They can see clearly!"
Pang Shiwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey! Your eyes are so good!"
The people on the watchtower seemed to still be aiming their bows at everyone.
The archer on the left said: "Looks like Sick Zhuge." The thin man looked sick, but he was quite smart, so someone gave him the nickname "Sick Zhuge"!
The archer on the right said: "It should be him! His walking posture is fluttery, and it's him at first glance!" Once a person is thin and tall, he will look like a bamboo pole swinging when he walks!
The archer in the middle said: "What are those three fools with those colorful things?"
The archer on the left said: "It should be the small colorful flag they use to prove their identity when entering and exiting the gate."
The archer in the middle said: "Fuck! What are you doing shaking that thing?"
"Humph, they are afraid that we don't know them and shoot them by mistake!"
"What the hell, who can see clearly when they are not at the door? Who dares to shoot an arrow if they don't see clearly? Are they too cowardly?"
"Yes, there is something wrong with these guys' brains. Oh, by the way, their little leader is the one with the big beard, right?"
"Yes, what's his last name? Damn it, I call him Big Beard every day but I forget what his last name is."
"Me too, I just remember that he had a big beard. What about the others? Why are they the only ones back? And why did they bring in two carriages?" In the past, these gangsters would go out to rob, and just grab some silver and that would be enough.
The mission is over. I didn’t expect that this time they even robbed someone and brought the car in. What kind of incident did this happen?
Chili discovered that there were some huge cacti scattered sparsely on both sides of the road in the "little desert", some of which were as tall as a person! This was the first time she saw such a big cactus, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "These cacti are so...
Big? Is it fake?"
"It's true. It's not easy to make a fake one. It can't be so realistic!" Pang Shiwu said. He turned to Feng Jiuxiao and said, "Brother, these cacti don't look like things from the Central Plains."
Although he has read little, he often listens to other people's allusions! There is no way such a big cactus can grow in the Central Plains!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes, these should have been transplanted from the deserts of the Western Regions. This Mr. Zhou is quite creative!" Transplanting these cacti from the Western Regions thousands of miles away to the Central Plains must have taken a lot of troubles along the way! Manpower and material resources
Financial resources are not a trivial matter!
Pang Shishi said: "It seems that Mr. Zhou is quite good at enjoying life."
Chili Pepper immediately glanced at him sideways and said, "What, envy? Do you want to learn too?"
Pang Shiwu immediately said: "Why imitate him? It's just a talk."
Pepper said: "Just talking? If you don't have that thought in your heart, will you say it?"
Pang Shiwu immediately said seriously: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have thought in my heart and said it in my mouth!"
Pepper immediately said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it!"
Wang Sheng and Duan Muyan were already laughing from ear to ear! This Pang Shishi is too soft!
Pang Shiwu suddenly said to them: "Isn't it interesting to laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps? What's more, you two don't even have twenty steps!"
Wang Sheng and Duan Muyan were suddenly startled!
Wang Sheng then smiled and said: "Interesting!"
Duan Muyan also smiled and said: "It's very interesting!"
What else could the two of them do besides laugh? Pang Shiwu insinuated that they had shaved their heads and picked a hot head! If it had been someone else, the two of them would have beaten each other to a pulp! But the other party was Pang Shiwu, and there was Feng Jiuxiao standing next to him.
, so no matter how angry they are in their hearts, they still have to laugh on the surface, as if nothing has happened!
Pang Shishi snorted coldly, and then turned his head away as if nothing had happened. He was truly as if nothing had happened!
Everyone walked forward a few dozen feet.
Wang Sheng suddenly said: "It stands to reason that this is Mr. Zhou's lair. The security here should be tightest, but why is it more lax than outside?" There is no one guarding or patrolling along the way here. It is very quiet, except for the watchtower.
The three archers above indicate that there are living people here.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is his base camp, how could the guard be lax?"
Wang Sheng was a little confused and said: "You mean this place is heavily guarded, why didn't I see it?"
He was a little surprised!
Has my skill deteriorated? No way, I can hear the sound of a scorpion emerging from the sand under the cactus ten feet away!
What's going on? Are those people hiding thirty feet away?
Twenty feet is the limit of his own sensing. If those people are hiding twenty feet away, then naturally only Feng Jiuxiao can detect it! There is sand everywhere here, where else can they hide except hiding in the sand?
He sensed carefully again with the peak combat power of the Nine Realms, but still did not feel any strangers ambushing around him.
I can't feel it under my feet either.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "You don't need to test it. In fact, there are always people around here. And they are all within five feet of both sides of this road!"
Wang Sheng, Duan Muyan, and Pang Shiwu were all shocked at the same time!
"What? Is there anyone within five feet?"
Wang Sheng's expression changed. He searched forward along the path. Apart from the air, sand, cacti, and dots of skeletons, there was no trace of a human being! He found that the Qingshuang Sword behind him had not moved just now, indicating that the Qingshuang Sword had not moved at all.
Frost didn’t sense the danger either!
The greatest danger is the absence of danger!
Could it be that the master ambushing here is even better than himself in martial arts? He couldn't help but look at Duan Muyan, who said, "What are you looking at me for?" Wang Sheng said, "Could it be that these people know your magic sect's invisibility skills?"
Duan Muyan immediately frowned, "Do you think that Demon Sect Kung Fu is just something that everyone can master? I don't even know how to practice it. How can it be so easy for others to learn it?"
Feng Jiuxiao looked around and said: "It's not that they know the invisibility technique, but there is a formation here that can block people's senses! Vision, hearing, smell and even taste cannot detect them!"
Pang Shiwu frowned and said: "So magical? Isn't this a kind of isolated small world? Is it so powerful?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "That's right! This is a kind of isolated small world! You are already a nine-level glazed glass and you still can't see through this heavy shield. Do you think it's powerful?"
Duan Muyan said: "There are not many experts in the world who can use the formation to the extreme. As far as I know, there are Mr. Zhuge, Wolong Yisheng, Yuan Disha and others. I don't know who set up the formation here!
"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Mr. Zhuge? Mr. Zhuge has died in my hands! From what I understand, he is not at this level! As for Wolong's life, Yuan Disha and others are not from the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it is unlikely that they will come here.
According to my guess, the mysterious Mr. Chuanyue is the most suspicious! He has been living in seclusion in Jiangning, which is not too far away from here!"
Wang Sheng said: "Mr. Chuanyue? By the way, why didn't he come to Changzhou City to help defend the city?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "He is not the only one in the martial arts world of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Some are willing to come, some are not willing to come, and Li Yu doesn't have such a big reputation to order the entire martial arts world to come! It's just a matter of friendship to come to Changzhou to help defend the city. If you don't come,
It is our duty to help, so it is normal for Chuanyue not to come! What's more, Mr. Chuanyue does not seem to admit that he is a martial artist. His disciple Xiao Qiushui said that he is just an outsider who is not familiar with the world and does things all day long.
Weird things, even the long-lost wooden cow and flowing horse, were restored by him!"
Wang Sheng said: "Oh, he is still a peerless master craftsman!"
Duanmu Yan said: "There has always been no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the world, and many of the things they create are incredible!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Just like the Nine Nether Demon Needle!"
The Nine Nether Demonic Needle shot Xiaohou Ye, who hid in the Hengyang Underground Palace for a year without daring to show his face, and lost all his martial arts skills.
This is why I officially embarked on the road of martial arts.
Therefore, Feng Jiuxiao is very sensitive to the Nine Nether Demonic Needles, and she never forgets them!
The Nine Nether Demonic Needle seemed to have terrifying magic power. When Feng Jiuxiao mentioned these four words, everyone's expressions changed!
Wang Sheng immediately returned to the original question and said: "When it comes to formations, Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period should be considered the most powerful!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes, I heard that there are still ruins of the Eight Formations he created in Western Shu. It is said to be on the river beach south of Yong'an Palace. I don't know whether it is true or not. The origin of the Eight Formations is very deep. I heard it can be traced back to
The Yellow Emperor of ancient China. It is said that there was not an Eight Formation at that time. It was continuously improved and perfected by Jiang Taigong, Sima Ranju, Guan Zhong, Sun Wu and others. It was not until Zhuge Liang reached its peak that it was perfected into the Eight Formation!"
Pang Shishi said: "Brother, what are the eight formations?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The sky-covering formation, the earth-carrying formation, the wind-raising formation, the cloud-hanging formation, the flying dragon formation, the tiger-wing formation, the flying bird formation, and the snake-coil formation."
Pang Shiwu said: "I don't understand how a formation can hide some living people?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The formations of the ancients were originally just formations. For example, square formation, circular formation, sparse formation, number formation, cone formation, wild goose formation, hook formation, Xuanxiang formation, they should be used appropriately according to the comparison of the strength of both sides.
The formation can achieve the maximum result at the minimum cost. As Sun Tzu said, if ten are to surround it, if five are to attack it, if if it is twice as many, it is divided.
Avoid it. But these are nothing more than focusing on a human character, maximizing manpower. But the highest state of the formation is to gather the power of the three realms of heaven, earth and man to exert its peak combat power! Just like the formation here, it must use some
These special magic weapons have set up some kind of barrier, forming a small isolated world. They can see us, but we can't see them!"
The flute girl who had been in the car became more and more frightened as she listened!
She had several surprises. First, she never expected that there would be such a lawless place in the suburbs of Changzhou. She had never heard that there was a cave in Evil Tiger Village! There was a village within the village!
Second, I didn’t expect that Mr. Zhou’s strength was so abnormal that he kept hundreds of tigers as pets!
Third, I didn’t expect that the defense here was so unbelievable, and there was even a barrier!
Fourthly, they didn’t expect that Feng Jiuxiao and the others were so brave and talented people. They actually knew that there were enemies peeping and monitoring them, and they talked and laughed as if no one was around. They didn’t take anyone seriously at all. They weren’t afraid of people sneaking up on them? After all, the enemy was there.
Dark, I am in the bright, I am at a disadvantage!
Yuan Zishan suddenly opened her eyes, "Are you worried?"
The flute girl nodded and said: "These two sides are full of Mr. Zhou's people, but we can't see anything. We don't worry that it's fake!"
"It doesn't matter. If they want to take action, they have to get close to Mr. Feng. As long as they get within three feet of Mr. Feng, they are leaving the protection of his own little world and entering Mr. Feng's. Offense and defense will switch, and the outcome will be decided!"
"What if they use concealed weapons?"
"It's the same. Mr. Feng can sense hidden weapons as long as they are close to him! The reason why those people are hidden so deeply is because they rely on the so-called barrier to cover them up. Once they leave the barrier, they will immediately reveal their true colors!"
"Oh." Seeing Yuan Zishan's confidence, the flute girl was relieved!
When we were still more than ten feet away from the arrow tower, the people on the arrow tower finally spoke: "What's going on? Why did you bring the carriage in!? Don't you know Mr. Zhou's rules?"
The thin man smiled and said, "There are distinguished guests inside!"
The distinguished guest means big fish. The three archers looked at each other and thought to themselves: If it were really a big fish, this guy would be very prosperous. If it wasn't a big fish, this guy would be flattering him. Whether he lives or dies, he will be in trouble.
May you be blessed.
"go in!"
"Thank you!"
Everyone passed under the arrow tower and entered the village.
As soon as he entered the village, Wang Shengke's eyes were opened!
In the middle of the village is a huge square cage, 20 feet long and 20 feet wide. There is a tiger eating a living person in the cage!
There were actually many tourists watching outside the cage!
