Chapter 7 Escape from Death

"I don't know what Elder Feng needs. It's so time-consuming. It's been nearly 30 days, and the shopkeeper Zhao still has no news." Xia Houtian waited for many days, and his heart gradually became bored. In addition, with the treasure map, he wanted to leave as soon as possible. After thinking about it, he decided to ask the shopkeeper Zhao about the situation.

Leiyunfang City, Jubao Pavilion, Qingzhu Garden

After Xia Houtian's inquiry, he learned that the shopkeeper Zhao was living in the Qingzhu Garden, so he followed the maid and came here.

"Prince Xiahou, in front is the Qingzhu Garden. The status of the slave is low, and it is inconvenient to enter. Please forgive me." A beautiful maid said softly.

Seeing this, Xia Houtian said in his heart, "Sure enough, strength is respected, and such a subtlety is so strict." Waving her hand, the maid slowly retreated.

The door of the green bamboo garden is open, and the green bamboo is full of cyan bamboo, which is staggered, like a green ocean. Obviously, the owner loves it very much, so it is named after the green bamboo.

In the green bamboo forest, there is a strong aura. Although it is not as beautiful as Qingyun Mountain, it also has seven or eight charm. It can be seen that the owner spends a lot on it. In Xia Houtian's view, this place is connected by five arrays of green bamboo, which are interlocked and unpredictable, and there is more curiosity about the shopkeeper Zhao.

Through the bamboo forest, an exquisite bamboo building sits in it, which looks particularly natural and harmonious, giving Xia Houtian an inexplicable feeling, as if it is particularly kind.

"I don't know what's the matter. Xiaoyou came in person. It's really Zhao's lucky." Although Mr. Zhao's words were soft, Xia Houtian felt a strange look from it.

"The younger generation has been harassing for many days. I don't know whether the elder Feng needs or not. The younger generation can rush back to the faction as soon as possible."

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled softly: "Little friend, don't be in a hurry. Most of the things that Elder Feng wants are precious and rare. Even with the power of Jubao Pavilion, it is quite troublesome to raise money."

Xia Houtian thought carefully and felt that Mr. Zhao's words were reasonable, so he gave up asking, "In this case, please raise funds quickly, and the younger generation can return to the mountain as soon as possible."

"That's natural. Now that you're here, please sit down and taste my special green bamboo tea. Is it fragrant?"

"Then bother the seniors. How dare the younger generation refuse?"

Shopkeeper Zhao waved his hand and gave birth to a stone table out of thin air, with two cups of clear tea. Xia Houtian was very surprised, because he didn't feel any real fluctuation just now. He couldn't help sighing that shopkeeper Zhao was really hidden.

When I picked up the tea, the fragrance of the tea was fragrant and drunk, which made people feel comfortable. After drinking a full cup, I only felt that the aftertaste was endless. I couldn't help but indulge in it. The true qi seemed to be a little pure. It can be seen that this tea is a rare thing.

"I'm afraid the tea of the predecessor is not an ordinary thing, good tea! Good tea!"

"Although the little friend is young, he has a good knowledge. This tea is made by taking green bamboo and refining it with secret methods. It does have a miraculous effect on improving cultivation, but it is only limited to the qi training period."

Seeing that this tea is so effective, Xiahou Tian wants to get a few taels to improve his cultivation. However, although this tea is not a strange thing, it is also unusual. For a while, he doesn't know how to open his mouth.

When the shopkeeper of Zhao saw the strange feelings of Xiahou, he stared at the tea with his eyes, and suddenly became clear to his chest: "Why don't you drink it, but you dislike this tea?"

Xia Houtian was ashamed and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, this tea has an endless aftertaste, and the younger generation is just tasting the taste of it."

Xia Houtian's behavior further confirmed Mr. Zhao's guess: "It happens that this tea is stored a lot. You might as well bring some back so that Elder Feng can taste it."

Xiahou was a little frustrated and said casually, "Okay, the younger generation will definitely bring it."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Manager Zhao said, "Of course, in addition to giving it to Elder Feng, Xiaoyou can also bring back a few catties and taste it alone. What do you think?"

It's really "There is no way to doubt the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village". Xia Houtian was overjoyed: "The younger generation can also get one or two. Thank you very much, seniors."

In this way, the two stopped talking and tasted the tea in the cup, which seemed very natural, like fairy tea.

It is also Xia Houtian's shallow knowledge. Although the refining of this tea is complicated, its utility is not high. How can the trend be rare such things? In fact, the shopkeeper Zhao is giving it to him. Even if Xia Houtian sends it to Fengxing, Fengxing will not accept it. After all, immortals who are favored by others must be rewarded, otherwise there is no hope of immortality.

Huaxi City, Fenglin Town

A teenager wandered leisurely in the market, stopped to observe from time to time, bought some gadgets, and looked very happy.

"Soul Secrets - A Contract Against Time!"

An inexplicable voice came to the teenager's ears, and the people walking around were still, as if he was the only one, which was very strange.

"Kid, hand over what you get, and I can still let you reincarnate, otherwise you will lose your soul and disappear forever."

The teenager's legs trembled and his face showed fear: "I don't know what I want?"

Under the fear, the teenager stumbled a little. After saying a sentence, he seemed to have exhausted his strength and fell to the ground.

When the man in black saw the teenager's sophistry, he was furious and released his momentum. Suddenly, the teenager couldn't breathe, as if death was coming.

The popularity in black was over: "On that day, in Leiyunfang City, I was fighting with people and was seriously injured. What you took from another person is what you want. Why don't take it out quickly, or don't blame me?"

It turned out that the teenager was Zhang Fan. He thought he had escaped thousands of miles and was already safe. He didn't want to meet such a evil star. Unexpectedly, he tracked and found this place thousands of miles away. From this, it can also be seen that Baotu's status in the hearts of people in black.

Zhang Fan trembled all over and said, "The treasure map has been sold, not on me."

Naturally, the man in black didn't believe it and said harshly, "In this case, it's useless to leave you."

Waving his hand was about to kill Zhang Fan, he only heard a "wait" with a happy face. He put down his hand and waited quietly.

Zhang Fan has never felt that the feeling of death is so terrible. The desire to survive makes him try to survive.

"Slow down. The treasure map is really not on me. I swear by my own life."

After Zhang Fan swore, the man in black believed it, but the treasure map was of great importance and must be obtained. Thinking of the punishment of failure, the man in black shuddered.

"Say, where is the treasure map? If there is a lie, you should know what will happen to you."

Now Zhang Fan is very regretful. He regretted that he was greedy for cheapness and provoked such a evil star: "Baotu has been sold in Leiyunfang City and bought by a Taoist priest."

The man in black was more aggressive. The boundless murderous spirit made Zhang Fan short of breath, as if he felt Zhang Fan's pain. The popularity in black restrained and said, "Continue!"

Then Zhang Fan said the original story. The man in black looked gloomy and meditated: "That man is obviously an immortal. If he takes out the treasure, it will affect the suzerain's plan..."

Thinking of punishment, the man in black showed a trace of fear and decided to keep Zhang Fan for the time being: "Do you remember the buyer?"

Seeing that his life was temporarily saved, Zhang Fan was secretly relieved: "Although I have only seen it twice, I know where he lives."

The man in black was overjoyed and said, "Okay, if you get the treasure map smoothly, I will spare your life."

Although he said so on the surface, he secretly killed his heart to relieve his hatred.

Leiyunfang City, Jubao Pavilion

"Little friend, I have everything you need. I don't know if you will leave immediately?"

Xia Houtian was very happy to see that the matter was over. He remembered that he had been out for two months, so he said, "Please take out the things, and the younger generation will rush back to the mountain gate on the same day, so as not to prevent Elder Feng's anxiety."

"Well, everything is in the storage bag. The little friend put it away, but it's getting late at this time. Why don't you leave tomorrow?"

"Then it's better to obey than to be respectful. I'm sorry to bother you."

After collecting the storage bag, Xia Houtian returned to his room and left Jubao Pavilion until tomorrow morning.

The people in Jubao Pavilion are all talking about it in private. I don't know why Manager Zhao is so polite to a junior. Even if there is a master behind him, he doesn't need to care so much.

Leiyunfang City, outside Jubao Pavilion, late at night

The man in black had a lot of dreams at night and returned with all his strength. Finally, he rushed back to Leiyunfang City in the middle of the night. After restraining Zhang Fan, he came to the Jubao Pavilion.

"Those who get the treasure map live in this Jubao Pavilion, but the power of the Jubao Pavilion is not small, and there are strong people in Jiedan. What should they do?"

The man in black, a member of a mysterious sect, is cautious, cruel, and has a foundation-building later cultivation. The age is unknown, and he is good at using a set of flying needles.

Jubao Pavilion, wing corridor

"The secret art of the soul - no trace!" The man in black whispered, and his mind was dark, faintly showing the appearance of Xia Houtian. Suddenly, a yellow light flashed, and the image was dark.

"What on earth is that Taoist man? He can block my secret skills. It seems that the person who came is not good."

No, the man in black had to go next to the room and explore it carefully. The speed was slow. He didn't find any clue until dawn. He was found and had to leave first.

In the morning, Xia Houtian said goodbye to shopkeeper Zhao, walked out of Jubao Pavilion, and walked to the exit of Leiyunfang City, preparing to return to Qingyun Mountain.

"This is the person who bought my treasure map, this Taoist priest."

It turned out that the man in black explored overnight and found nothing, so he brought Zhang Fan and waited for the rabbit in front of the Jubao Pavilion, which made Xia Houtian recognized by Zhang Fan.

Knowing where the treasure map was, the man in black was about to take action, but when he saw that the people in the city were mixed, he imprisoned Zhang Fan again and followed Xia Houtian.

Walking out of Leiyunfang City, Xia Houtian's heart couldn't help floating to Qingyun Mountain: "The entrustment of Elder Feng has finally been completed. Go back quickly and don't delay Elder Feng's affairs."

Xia Houtian raised his true qi and poured his legs. Suddenly, he was as light as a swallow, like a phantom, and galloped away into the distance.

When the man in black saw Xia Houtian's behavior, he thought that he was found by him and was not hiding. He showed his body and quickly chased after him. In a blink of an eye, he blocked Xia Houtian behind him.

"The boy, stop and hand over the things knowingly, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."

Xia Houtian was very puzzled. He thought he had met a madman, so he wanted to bypass the man in black and leave as soon as possible.

Seeing Xia Houtian like this, the man in black was furious, but when he thought of the situation of looking for the treasure map last night, he temporarily suppressed his anger and released Zhang Fan: "Kid, do you know this person?"

"Zhang Fan!" Xia Houtian couldn't help saying that at this time, he fully understood that the man in black must have come for the treasure map.

Seeing Xia Houtian calling out his name, he was dressed in black and said, "Kid, tell the whereabouts of the treasure map, otherwise you can't survive or die!"

Xia Houtian thought in his heart: "This person's cultivation is extremely high. I'm definitely not my opponent, but if I hand over the treasure map, will he let me go? I'm afraid it's more bad luck and less."

The man in black is not sure whether the treasure map is on Xia Houtian. He doesn't believe that this four-layer of Qi is not a Taoist priest who cultivates immortals, which can invalidate his secret skills.

"I am a disciple of the Qingyun School. By the order of the elder Fengxing, I come here to do business. You still act carefully, otherwise..."

The man in black was shocked. He didn't expect that Xia Houtian was still a disciple of a famous sect. Thinking of the suzerain's plan, he decided to keep Xia Houtian here.

Xia Houtian thought for a long time before he came up with such a way. He didn't expect it to become his life-threatening charm at all.

The man in black was no longer hesitating. He pinched the method, and Zhenyuan gushed out. With one move, he knocked Xia Houtian unconscious and rolled up and flew away to another place.

Unnamed Cave

"Kid, if you don't say it, if you don't say it, there are more powerful things waiting for you." The man in black asked harshly.

"It's dead to say it, and it's dead if you don't say it. What do you think I will choose?" Xia Houtian was very weak, covered with scars, the blood seemed to have dried up, and the scarlet flesh and blood were exposed to the air.

After Xia Houtian was arrested, the man in black searched his whole body and did not find the treasure map. He was tortured and questioned, but there was no progress.

It turned out that Xia Houtian put the treasure map in the "Hongmeng Realm", and the man in black naturally could not find it, so he has been asking until now.

Xia Houtian complained in his heart. He didn't want to buy it for the first time, which led to such a disaster. It was really unlucky. He didn't know how to get out. He could only resist death and temporarily save his life.

Qingyun Mountain, Turquoise Peak

"A few days ago, I received a message from Zhao You saying that Xia Houtian had returned. Why hasn't he arrived yet? Is there any accident?"

Fengxing's hand pinched the method, sensing Xiahou Tian's situation: "It's not good!" After saying that, he flashed and disappeared, and a white light disappeared in the southeast.

Unnamed Cave

Xia Houtian was severely tortured by the man in black, but he did not recognize it. The man in black could not, so he had to prepare to take it back to the sect and hand it over to the suzerain.

"Kid, I appreciate you very much. Your cultivation is so low, but you have so much courage. You are the first one, but when I bring you back to the sect, under the suzerain's soul search, let's see how hard you are."

"Ha ha, well, I think you won't get better, otherwise you can bring me back at the beginning."

"Kid, I don't need to know about this. You just need to know that this is your last chance, otherwise you will know how wonderful death is."

"Bold maniac, how dare you mutilate my disciples of Qingyun School and come out quickly to die, otherwise you will lose your soul." Fengxing was angry and planned a hundred-year plan, which was about to come true, but how could it not make it crazy?

The voice came into the cave, and Xia Houtian looked happy, but the man in black was shocked. I don't know how this person found this place, put away Xia Houtian's imprisonment, and walked out of the cave: "Who are you?"

The man in black saw that the essence of the popular practice was restrained, and his cultivation had been elixir. He was very afraid, but when he thought of the consequences of not bringing Xia Houtian back, he still summoned up his courage and prepared to fight to the death.

"Unknown junior, speed to release the disciples of this school, otherwise you will be destroyed, and you will never be born."

"This son stole an important item from me, and it's hard to obey." The man in black was afraid that the treasure map would be leaked and refused to say it clearly.

I didn't expect this person to find such an excuse. Fengxing was very angry. How could he get his things with Xia Houtian's cultivation: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that I haven't been walking in the immortal world for a long time, which makes people almost forget my reputation. The younger generation is so brave!"

The man in black wanted to take the opportunity to use the secret art to escape, but he didn't want to be found by the popular. The two fought, and the man in black quickly fell into the wind, and there was only the power to fight.

"The younger generation, let go at this time, I can still keep your soul reincarnated, otherwise••••••”

"The old man, don't talk nonsense. If you want to save this son, go over my body."

"Soul Secrets - Magic Circulation!" Seeing that the popular cultivation is profound, the man in black had no choice but to spend half of his whole body's blood, use the strongest secret skill, and forcibly upgrade his cultivation by two levels, temporarily raising it to the early stage of Jiedan.

Seeing this, Feng Xing couldn't help admiring: "The junior's secret art is really amazing, but today I will let you know what the real elixir is."

At this time, Fengxing treated the man in black as an opponent, and the magic weapon was sacrificed to the man in black.

The man in black saw that the magic weapon of the wind is powerful. A set of flying needles was sacrificed, and a mouthful of heart and blood spewed out. The red light of the flying needles won, forming a Shura ground, trapping the wind theory in it. For a while, it was also a dripping defense.

Fengxing was surprised to see that the man in black could actually block his own magic weapon. He smiled and said, "The younger generation is really a good trick. I decided to do my best to kill you and let you die."

The man in black forcibly used the secret technique, and the counter-eating gradually began. While using the flying needle, he said, "You are well-cultivated, but I won't die in vain. Someone will come to you. I'm waiting for you on Huangquan Road."

The man in black has a remnant of luck and rushes to the trend. His face is full of madness, and there is a trace of regret in his eyes.

In the life of "boom", the man in black disappeared forever, leaving only the wind to stop in the air, and his expression was a little tired.

The madness of the man in black before his death evoked memories in the depths of his popular memory: "Hey, is it right or wrong to cultivate immortals? Am I really wrong?"

After saying to myself for a long time, the trend has returned to normal, and my eyes are shining, as if I have made some important decision.

Release Xiahou Tian, pinch the method, and wrap it with a stream of water. When he woke up, most of his injuries had recovered. Knowing that he was saved by Fengxing, he said, "Thank you, Elder Feng, for saving my life. I'm ashamed."

He looked at Xia Houtian with a smile, silent and full of satisfaction. Xia Houtian was very puzzled when he saw this.

"Well, under such torture, you can stick to me. It's beyond my imagination. I really didn't see you wrong."

The popular praise is like a sharp sword, stabbing Xia Houtian's heart fiercely, and the desire to become stronger is even stronger.

"Okay, just practice hard in the future. Come back to the mountain with me." The light flashed, and the two disappeared in place.

Such a thousand miles away, unexpectedly arrived in an instant. Xia Houtian was very puzzled and said, "Ele Feng, my disciple has something unknown."

"Ha ha, I already know what you want to ask. The reason why I want you to go is to calm you down. Now in my opinion, your breath is stable and it's okay."

"Thank you for your love, and my disciples are panicked." Just as he was about to talk about the treasure map, Elder Feng motioned Xia Houtian to go down to rest.

"Let's tell Elder Feng again if there is a chance." Xia Houtian thought so, so he got up and returned to his residence.

"Is my plan leaked? Otherwise, how could such a master come? The plan must not be lost, and no one can stop me." Fengxing is no longer kind. His face is twisted, and there is a trace of blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth. It seems that Fengxing is not as relaxed as it seems. Fengxing never thought about whether what the man in black said was true or not. He only judged it by experience, but unfortunately it was wrong this time.
