When Golden Finger Meets Salted Fish

The melee in Mingcong Mountain lasted for half a month, until both sides were exhausted from fighting, and a sudden rainstorm happened, which temporarily stopped the melee, and both sides returned to their respective sites to recuperate.

Zhongheng took advantage of the truce to go out, went into the forest, and caught a few colorful chickens.

When he came back with the chicken, he was bumped into by Su Hao and the others. Wen Jin couldn't help but tease: "Junior Brother Zhong is so excited, it's a rare truce, and you still have the energy to go out and catch the chicken?"

Before Zhongheng could respond, Bai Xu smiled from the sidelines: "Senior Brother Wen is wrong. Melee fighting these days is exhausting for us, but not for Junior Brother Zhong. You didn't see that he just got married. Is Ying's realm much more stable? I guess if he goes to the battlefield for another ten days and a half months, his realm will be completely stabilized, which is much more useful than retreat."

Zhongheng patted his head when he heard this, and laughed "hehe". He also has a hearty personality, and immediately raised the colorful chicken in his hand and said to everyone: "Would you brothers want to eat chicken together?"

Cultivator Nascent Soul has been bigu for many years, but those present are all lively young people. Since Zhong Heng invited him, they naturally did not refuse. So a group of people hooked up and went to Zhongheng's temporary residence—Zhongheng was living a rough life, spending all his money on cultivation resources, and didn't plan to take the house with him. He didn't bother to set up a tent, so he simply swiped his sword on the mountain wall and pulled out a cave for shelter.

This kind of residence is naturally very simple, but now it is raining heavily outside, even if the monk has some means to keep the rain out of the residence, living in a tent in this rainy day is definitely not as comfortable as living in a cave.

A group of people didn't hold back when they came to Zhongheng's cave, and helped to light the fire to kill the chicken, and soon put the beautiful chicken on the grill.

Bai Xu is a good alchemist, but he didn't expect to be good at cooking, so he quickly took over the position of head chef.

While taking out the wine, Bei Luo said to everyone: "Eating roast chicken on a rainy day, of course, wine is indispensable. I bought this wine from Dukang City back then, and I didn't want to drink it after hiding it for a long time. Today, it's all cheap for you."

Everyone laughed and took it, drank and listened to the rain and waited for the roast chicken. The emotional tension brought about by many days of killing finally gradually eased.

Bei Luo drank the wine and asked casually: "Junior Brother Zhong, do you know if Junior Sister Yun's retreat will be effective? She was so seriously injured back then, Junior Brother Bai said she would have to take care of her for a year and a half. Will it affect her recovery?"

Zhongheng actually went to see Yun Qingyue, but unfortunately he didn't see anyone: "The guards are guarding, and I haven't seen my senior sister either."

When Bei Luo heard the name of the little white tiger, he subconsciously stroked his curly hair, but didn't say anything more. Everyone had obviously learned the narrow-mindedness of the supervisor, so they changed the topic tacitly and began to gossip. Just kidding, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

After a while, Bai Xu finished roasting the chicken. Everyone was drinking and eating chicken while gossiping, making them even happier. However, this relaxation did not last long, and was broken with a disciple's message: "Several senior brothers, the three peak masters are here to invite you."

Su Hao and others didn't dare to delay after getting the news, they immediately put down their things and rushed over.

Now the three peak masters still live on the spirit boat, when Su Hao and others arrived, they saw the three of them gathered together—the other elders were not there, and the Supreme Elder Ming Xi was also not present. As the top combat power in the Mahayana period, Mingxi still exists as a deterrent most of the time. She doesn't like to meddle in everyone's discussions, and she doesn't show up often, and she still lives reclusively.

There were only three peak masters in the discussion room, but the more so, the more solemn Su Hao and others were. As soon as they entered the door, they saluted the three of them, each looking more respectful and serious than the other: "This disciple has met the three peak masters."

Peak Master Qingxu nodded slightly, and said straight to the point: "I asked you guys to come here today, because I have something to entrust to you."

As a big brother, Su Hao immediately cupped his hands when he heard the words: "Master, please give me instructions."

Qing Xu's expression was very serious, so he heard him say: "Just now, some patrolling disciples came to report that someone sneaked in while taking advantage of the heavy rain. But after a search, we didn't find that there were any outsiders in the garrison... We After discussing with the others, they felt that someone might be in collusion with outsiders. I will leave this matter to you for the time being, and if someone really cheated, you must investigate and find out."

Su Hao's expression was solemn, and he didn't change his face when he received such a task suddenly. Instead, he readily agreed: "I understand, please rest assured, my fellow juniors and I will do our best."

Qingxu nodded, explained a few more words, and sent all these true disciples away.

***************************************************** ***********

This torrential rain has not stopped for three days in a row. The continuous heavy rain seems to have leaked the sky, and the water in the Tianhe River must be tilted clean before it will stop.

Su Hao and others searched for several days, but unfortunately there was no clue, and naturally there was no result.

Facing the situation where there was no progress, Bei Luo and the others finally grew impatient, so Bei Luo proposed: "Senior Brother Su, we don't have any clues, and it's meaningless to pursue it like this. According to me, we might as well If you join the patrol, you might be able to find some clues. No matter how bad it is, it can be regarded as strengthening the defense of the garrison, and it is not a waste of work."

Peak Lord Qingxu gave too few clues, and Su Hao didn't have any clues for the time being, so he had no choice but to agree. Pianbei Luo was still very hot-tempered, so he took his brothers out to take action that night.

The disciple of Wufeng, Yun Qingyue was temporarily replaced by Zhong Heng in retreat, and there were still five people in action.

In the evening, the torrential rain finally slowed down, and the five people walked in the sky wearing dark clothes. Their cultivation base is higher than that of the disciples of the same generation. In addition, they deliberately concealed it, and they were not found much after wandering around the resident.

Su Hao was a little dissatisfied, Bei Luo even shook his head and said: "No way, these juniors and juniors are still too vigilant. We have been wandering around the station for so long, but few people have noticed us. Let me say that they found someone messing around with us before. Come in, it’s probably a blind cat hitting a mouse, no wonder there are no extra clues.”

Hearing this, Bai Xu coughed lightly, trying to appease his brothers and sisters: "Senior Brother Beiluo's words are a little biased. This residence is a territory marked by the Supreme Elder, and there are still guards around the residence Defense. The juniors probably feel that this place is safe and their hearts are safe, so they slack off a little..." At the end, the voice dropped sharply.

While Bai Xu was talking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a suspicious black figure out of the corner of his eye, so he immediately lowered his voice and gestured for silence. And there is always a basic tacit understanding between the same sect, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Then, following what Bai Xu pointed out, Su Hao and the others quickly discovered several sneaky figures.

Bei Luo's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and then his eyebrows danced brightly. He gestured to everyone and said, "Look, I'm right. If you come out and walk around, don't you just hit the door with this clue?"

Seeing this, everyone didn't have time to argue with him. After giving him a thumbs up, they disappeared and walked towards the shadows silently.

Several people are in the Nascent Soul Stage, which is not enough compared to the above, but more than enough to compare with the below. The movements of those black shadows are very ghostly, coming and going like a black wind, if it is not a coincidence in such a rainy night Hard to spot at all. Or today's torrential rain was a little lighter, and Bai Xu happened to see it again, so he caught some traces.

But that's enough, the disciples of Wufeng have their own abilities, so they followed them immediately. Su Hao also gestured to everyone: Follow for now, don't startle the snake, maybe you can get some different news by following the clues.

Naturally, everyone had no objection and followed up quietly, only to bump into those black shadows planning to ambush the patrolling disciples.

Judging from his agility and cultivation, he knew that ordinary patrolling disciples couldn't beat these shadows at all, and they might not even be able to send out a call for help or a warning signal if they hit them. Su Hao and the others are also not hard-hearted. They originally wanted to follow the clues, but seeing this scene, it is naturally impossible to let it go. So before these black shadows made a move, Su Hao and his group who were following them made a move first.

"Do it!" Su Hao suddenly shouted.

Bei Luo and the others were already ready to attack, even before Su Hao shouted loudly. So as Su Hao's words came out, all kinds of attacks were directed at the black shadows in the dark.

The black shadows hid so well that they were so confident that they never noticed anyone following them.

They were caught off guard, and lost two companions in one meeting, and the rest were more or less injured. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading black shadow immediately shouted hoarsely: "Retreat."

However, it was too late to call out at this time, not to mention that Su Hao and others were already prepared, even those patrolling disciples who were almost ambushed before reacted and helped outflank them—they didn't need to desperately, they just needed to delay the opponent for a few breaths. Use talismans, array disks, or various small props, as long as they can delay the opponent's footsteps.

For a moment, Soi Ying was really held back by these patrolling disciples, and the attack from Su Hao and others arrived in an instant.

Because the opponent's hands and feet were disrupted at the beginning, this battle did not last long. After a while, several black shadows were chopped off by the sword, only the leader was still dying.

Finally, surrounded by everyone, the leader also understood that the situation was over.

He suddenly took out something from his bosom and was about to destroy it, Su Hao had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately reached out to **** it.

At the same time, Bei Luo, who stood opposite Su Hao, was standing behind the leader. He couldn't see the small movements of the leader, and seeing Su Hao's sudden attack, he thought that Su Hao was going to kill the enemy. So in order to help, Bei Luo immediately followed suit, directly attacking the leader's back, and formed a double attack situation with Su Hao.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Su Hao shrank his pupils and shouted fiercely.

It's a pity that it was still too late, Bei Luo punched the leader hard in the back... The bad news is that he was killed on the spot, but the good news is that the leader didn't have time to destroy the things in his hands.
