Chapter 264 Under the 264 intersection
Ding's convoy moved forward slowly, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
Ding Luo, as the young master of the Ding family, is extremely talented. He is only twenty-two years old now, and his martial arts has already reached the third-rank level. It can be said that it is the future hope of the entire Ding family.
In order to support the migration of the family this time, he not only came out to support himself, but also brought his two masters together.
Senior sister Mu Chunxiu and master Changyun Taoist were all dragged by him to guard the convoy together.
At this time, I watched my father and the master talking happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Senior sister and mother also whispered private words.
Most of Ding Luo's worries about getting along with each other were gone.
"Speaking of which, Ding Luo, you are actually good everywhere. It's just that you are nosy, so you must remember to change it."
Master Changyun Taoist is already in his sixties, and he has taken in two apprentices in his lifetime, the eldest of whom, Mu Chunxiu, is of mediocre aptitude, and it will be considered good if he can reach the fifth rank at the age of thirty.
As for the little apprentice Ding Luo, he is quite hopeful, maybe in the future, the first eighth-rank or even ninth-rank master will really appear under his sect!
By that time, although he, Taoist Changyun, had little strength, he could only barely get involved in the high-grade threshold.
But the apprentice is strong enough, and he can also shine on the lintel!
So, he is also satisfied.
It's just that this apprentice is good everywhere, but there is a problem. Quick-tempered, anxious for justice, always loves to fight against injustices.
"Master, it's not that you don't know, I just can't see that some people have something wrong." Ding Luo scratched his head and pretended to smile.
"You." Taoist Changyun was a little helpless. Still want to talk.
Suddenly, in the forest not far away, an exclamation came from afar.
"Help!"
Ding Luo frowned and looked around.
Soon, I saw a panic-stricken herb picker running out of the woods with his face covered in blood. Behind him, a **** worm jumped out of the forest and rushed towards the back of the herb picker.
"How courageous! How dare animals hurt people!" Ding Luo immediately drew his sword and stepped forward, rushing towards the black tiger.
Aww!
The black tiger roared, raised its head to look at Ding Luo, turned and rushed towards him without stopping.
Ding Luo was not afraid, and immediately fought with the black tiger with a knife.
It's just that he didn't notice at all that in the woods behind Heihu, there was a man in gray with a ghost face slowly approaching.
He kept the herbal picker and didn't kill him right away, but just to feed his little pet some snacks.
But I didn't expect that there would be people on the road just in this barren mountain.
"You guys are unlucky." A ruthless look flashed in the ghost-masked man's eyes.
The herbal picker probably knows the approximate location of Tianji Cave, although this possibility is very small.
But just in case, it is better to kill all the living people around.
Only the dead are the best keepers of secrets.
This has always been the principle that the ghost-faced man believes in most.
As the ninth rank in the sect, as long as he completes this task, he will be eligible to return to the sect to worship the gods and extend his lifespan.
So, this time, only success is allowed and no failure is allowed, and no mistakes are allowed!
Looking at a group of chariots and horses that appeared along the way, the ghost-masked man's relaxed mood just now gradually changed.
In such a remote place, it is not necessary to pass a bus every few days, so he can still be unlucky and meet someone. really...
He immediately changed his mind and stopped playing, so he silenced his mouth as soon as possible, and then went back to pick the precious medicine and take it away, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Aww!
A tiger's roar came faintly in the distance.
By the campfire, Zhang Rongfang raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the sound.
"There are big bugs in this place?"
"Well, there are some, not a few." Nubarn nodded, "There are too few towns around Jiaolin Mountain, and there are occasional poisonous miasmas in the forest, plus there are a lot of beasts like big bugs.
So those who dare to come here are mostly courageous. Or the family can't do anything, so they can only desperately come here to get some. "
"Ordinary people come here and stay here for a long time, I'm afraid there is no way out." Zhang Rongfang shook his head.
"That's right. Without the support of martial artists with strong martial arts skills, ordinary people, even if they have a little money, don't want to go far. This is the situation of most families in the inland areas." Nu Baen agreed.
"What about the sea route?" Zhang Rongfang asked, "The sea route should be much better, right?"
"The sea is afraid of the wind. The sea is endless, and the most fearful thing is being blown off course by the wind and waves. Once it is crooked, if you want to adjust it, you need a very good navigator." Nu Barn replied.
"Then how does the navigator identify the direction?"
"It is said that it depends on astronomy and astrology. I don't understand these." Nu Barn shook his head. "But it is said that Daling has observatories in many places? If you are free, you can go and have a look."
"Observatory? Well, you can go and see it if you have time."
The more Zhang Rongfang understood the Great Spirit, the more he felt that this vast empire became more mysterious.
"Come on, my lord, this is for you." Nu Barn handed the roasted leg of lamb to Zhang Rongfang.
The food they carry is all pre-made dishes. When they get here, they only need to heat it up with a fire.
"Thank you." The two drank pure milk tea with mint, chatting while eating.
Aww!
Suddenly, a more intense and clear tiger roar came from a distance.
This time, the tiger's roar seemed to have a little more pain and anger.
"There are quite enough tigers here. They should be fighting." Nubarn smiled. "Speaking of which, these tigers are indeed difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but for us warriors, a tiger is equivalent to an opponent of around the third rank, and it is still an opponent with only a few moves back and forth.
It's easy to fight. Last time I came here, I almost killed one."
"Really? That's just right. After we get the precious medicine, we will kill one or two heads and bring them back before we leave. It's a special product." Zhang Rongfang also became interested.
"With the strength of an adult, it is naturally easy." Nu Barn complimented.
Poof!
Bright red blood splashed.
The herb picker was slaughtered by the black tiger, and he fell to the ground heavily, his head bleeding.
Ding Luo, who had just made a move, was stiff all over at this moment, standing where he was, staring at the ghost-faced man in gray who slowly walked out from behind the black tiger.
"Who are you!?"
He keenly felt an indescribable sense of oppression from the other party.
That oppressive feeling was even greater than that of the black tiger in front of him.
Obviously, Heihu's body is much larger than that of Ghost-Mask Man.
But the auras of the two are not at the same level at all.
That feeling is like a flame and a furnace.
"Hey." The ghost-faced man glanced at the entire convoy. "I didn't expect to meet so many people by feeding Xiao Hei some food."
"Xiao Luo, back off!" Suddenly a figure rushed forward, landed beside Ding Luo, and stretched out his hand to stop him.
is his master Changyun Taoist.
He had a dignified face at this moment, his eyes fixed on the ghost-faced man without blinking.
It seems to have encountered some kind of scourge.
But the black tiger, who was clearly a ferocious beast, was just a few meters in front of him, but he turned a blind eye to it.
Instead, all attention is focused on the ghost-faced man.
"Your Excellency, I don't mean to offend, but I just happened to pass by here, please raise your hand. We will leave immediately!"
His voice was clear, and he cupped his fists.
At this time, the rest of the team also felt that something was wrong.
Dark night, mountains and forests, a ghost-faced man who keeps a black tiger as a pet. This situation.
In the past, it was only encountered in some chivalrous novels.
And here
Everyone's spirits are tense.
"Leave immediately?" The ghost-masked man laughed again.
"Unfortunately. Unfortunately"
Suddenly, his figure flashed and rushed forward. He pointed at Taoist Changyun.
Taoist Changyun's whole body was tense for a long time. Seeing this, he immediately used the limit-breaking technique, the muscles of his arms expanded rapidly, and he closed in the middle.
Boom!
Fingers and palms together.
Taoist Changyun obviously had his hands facing one finger, but his whole body turned red as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Poof!
A mouthful of reversed blood gushed out of his mouth after being shaken.
"Master!" Ding Luo roared anxiously, raised his knife and stepped forward to face the ghost-masked man with a limit-breaking move.
In the Nine Ways of Spring and Autumn Saber Technique passed down by Taoist Changyun, one of the most powerful limit-breaking moves, I, Yi Chunhan, brought out a glint of cold sword light, and rushed towards the ghost-masked man.
Ding!
It was just a fierce knife light, which suddenly closed in mid-air, and was precisely pinched by two slender fingers.
"Ah!" Ding Luo's muscles agitated, trying to withdraw the knife, but the blade didn't move at all.
"Senior Sister! Take everyone away first!" Ding Luo roared, knowing that something was wrong, he threw away his knife and clenched his fist, and was about to charge forward.
"Xiao Luo!" A sudden exclamation came.
Ding Luo only felt a pain in his chest, his eyes blurred, he soared into the air lightly, and fell towards the distance.
He didn't even know when he was hit.
The inner armor worn on the body burst instantly, and an emerald brand worn inside exploded into countless pieces.
But the two layers of cushioning also caused his sternum to be slightly broken, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Huh?" The ghost-masked man looked surprised and was about to turn around.
Master Changyun Taoist let out an angry roar, and raised his hand to shoot out a piece of Mongolian sweat medicine powder. Pounce forward.
"Xiao Luo, take everyone away!"
"Master!" Ding Luo got up, frightened and angry, and wanted to rush up.
Seeing the master's body paused, he flew into the air in the blink of an eye, and slammed into the trunk of a big tree.
The crisp sound of the spine snapping spread, Taoist Changyun lost his eyesight, rolled to the ground, and gradually lost his breath.
"No!!" Ding Luo's eyes became hot, and he rushed out frantically.
But he saw the ghost-masked figure flicker and rushed towards the convoy.
"Do not!!"
Ding Luo roared frantically.
But it didn't work. Everyone in the convoy fell to the ground one by one like wheat.
The guards in the convoy were easily pointed and killed by the ghost-faced man.
"Xiao Luo, you go first! Everyone disperses and flees!"
The father roared loudly, blocked his wife and concubines, drew his waist knife, and told them to run away. Before he could stand still, he was nailed into the chest by a flying knife, and immediately fell on his head.
The mother ran in terror, taking her five-year-old sister with her, but she didn't run very far. He was also hit on the forehead by a flying stone and fell into a pool of blood.
The rest of the servants fled in all directions, but it only slowed down the ghost-faced man's killing speed a little bit.
Ding Luo had tears in his eyes, was pulled by his senior sister to turn around, and ran frantically in the woods.
The roar of the master just before his death was still echoing in his ears.
He never thought that he was just saving a herbal picker who was hunted down by a tiger.
How did it suddenly become what it is today! ?
why.
Why is this happening! ?
The thoughts in his heart seemed to be boiling, constantly burning his whole body.
He can't figure it out!
Isn’t it said in this world that good people are rewarded with good things?
Why he has never done bad things, since he practiced martial arts, he has been saving and helping people.
Why did it still fall into such a field? ?
