Chapter 407 Qin Tao's Death, Bai Shicheng's Worries
The situation on the road was just as Meng Zhao expected. Under Cao Zhan's leadership, Zhu Guangxi, the innate master, was also used as the Dinghai Dingjian. The crowd waited and stopped and deliberately took two detours.
Although we encountered some ferocious beasts, there were no casualties, which verified that Meng Zhao's previous decisions did not make any mistakes.
The pills made by Huang Baoying and others did not attract ferocious beasts, and the effect of the beast-removing pill is still there.
’Although Cao Zhan is not as profound as Huang Baoying’s research on ferocious beasts, his experience in dealing with them is also very rich, enough to help them avoid danger.
However, the dusk is deep and it is about to come to night. Because the terrain on the mountain is complicated, it is easy to lose its direction when traveling to the night.
Therefore, Meng Zhao and his party found a relatively open and safe place to clean up the snow, drive away the beasts, and prepare to rest overnight.
Let's set off as soon as possible tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, Meng Zhao and others are all skilled in martial arts, have profound internal skills, and have internal strength to protect themselves.
Although it cannot be said that such a cold and low temperature has no effect on them, at least after wearing cold clothes, they will not easily be induced by the cold wind and snow, and their physical constitutions are first-class and strong.
According to estimates, it was about the beginning of the late hour of the lunar hour, and many people had already fallen asleep in the temporary camp and made subtle snoring sounds.
There are huge rocks brought from all sides to block the cold wind, which is more comfort than nothing.
Meng Zhao was completely sleepy. After practicing Qi routinely, he jumped out of the camp surrounded by big rocks, and jumped several times to a cliff not far away.
He stood tall on the top of a tall tree with his hands on his back, and his body stood tall. White steam came out during his breathing, and when he was swallowing, he was like a thin dragon swimming back and forth between his mouth and nose.
Looking up at the starry night sky, I felt an extremely sad feeling in my heart.
Compared to the clouds and mist in the sun, the sun is no longer visible and hazy.
At night, the mountains of clouds and mists seem to have entered another world, from half-covered shyness and shame to the courage of not covering up everything.
The sky is so close to you, as if it is within reach of your fingers, as if it is deep in the Immortal Palace.
The extremely fresh air surrounds the body, making the heart clear and refined.
Looking at the sky again, it was clean and pure like a jade belt inlaid with dazzling dark blue gems, flashing and magnificent.
However, Meng Zhao did not let many people realize the natural mystery of the world and immerse himself in the magnificent scenery in the mountains. A little abnormal movement attracted Meng Zhao's attention, causing the purple eyes to flash and a cold light to shine.
About a mountain from where they camped, there was a faint flash of fire, and it was thanks to Meng Zhao's condescending presence that could only be seen.
He was shocked, not knowing whether it was the other people who went up the mountain to find treasures, or the missing master who had accidentally hit him here.
Meng Zhao did not act alone, but called Zhu Guangxi, who was meditating, and ordered Meng Chuan, Cao Zhan and others to watch the camp. The two of them quietly ran towards the direction of the flash of fire...
Holding a temporary vegetable oil torch in his hand, the green flames kept swaying with the cold outside, with faint signs of extinguishing.
Bai Shicheng, who was seven feet long and was originally extraordinary, was extremely embarrassed at this time. His white coat was torn and blood stains remained on the corners of his mouth. The sharp sword in his hand was still sharp, but it was unknown how much power it could exert against the confusion of his expression.
Behind Bai Shicheng are two masters of the Qin family.
One person carried several luggage, all of which were prepared before going up the mountain, and his steps were light and as if nothing was left.
The other person was carrying a man who might be unconscious on his back, with a solemn expression and frowning.
The two of them walked side by side with their eyes occasionally, and their eyes met with anger and hatred, looking at the Bai Shicheng, which originally looked like a god, was particularly strange and had a feeling of mockery.
Suddenly, Bai Shicheng, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and an abnormal blush appeared on his pale face. He spit out bright red blood with a slight breath. His palms holding the torch seemed to be weak. He knelt on one knee, leaning on a long and bright knife, and his pupils were gradually fainting green flames.
The two Qin guards following behind had no mercy, but looked at each other with cold eyes.
The Qin family guard who was carrying someone on his back said,
"Master Bai, we must find the people from the Meng family as soon as possible, and ask them to send the Cao family to take us down the mountain.
The seventh young master died on the mountain, and this matter must be reported to the Marquis as soon as possible."
While speaking, the Qin family's guard carefully lowered the person he was carrying and lifted his blood-stained hair. He could still see that he was the handsome seventh son of the Qin family, Qin Tao.
However, this handsome young man and the son of the nobleman were like pork on the chopping board at this time, and his breath of life was completely gone. His clothes were broken on his chest and there were huge sank blood holes, which looked extremely terrifying.
Such injuries, not to mention just an acquired martial artist, even a innate master with a great increase in vitality, will inevitably die.
Bai Shicheng looked at Qin Tao who was lying on the ground, as if he was sleeping quietly there, and his face quickly became ugly.
This ugly thing is not caused by the serious injury, but by the extremely bad mood.
He was a powerful man from the world recruited by Julu Marquis' Mansion. Under the arrangement of the contemporary Julu Marquis, he fully protected the son of the Marquis' Mansion and also served as the martial arts teacher of the Marquis' Mansion, guiding the martial arts practice of some young masters and ladies in the mansion.
He doesn't seem to be an important figure, but in fact he is treated quite well, which gives him a wandering swordsman with enough resources to accelerate his practice in the innate stage.
Now it is already the power of the innate nine orifices.
If you can go further, it will be the state of circulation of the cycle of heaven, and there will be even an innate state where you can practice Qi to become a gang in the future.
However, the Marquis's Mansion gave him generous treatment, which was not a very kind heart, but a conditional one.
That is to protect the Marquis' descendants and avoid any accidents.
Now, an accident happened. Qin Tao, the seventh young master of Julu Hou Mansion, who was protected by him, died on Yunwu Mountain. Although the murderer was a ferocious beast without any reason, he was still unable to explain to Julu Hou.
Therefore, Bai Shicheng's mood was extremely bad at this time.
"How will the Marquis deal with me? It would be fine to drive me away. Will I be investigated for my unfavorable fault in protecting me because of the pain of losing my son and kill me?
I'm dead, what should I do with my wife and daughter?"
This is the most headache-inducing part of Baishicheng at this time.
His wife is his childhood sweetheart, and she has lived and died together for many years.
If he is killed, his wife will not live alone. This is an agreement made back then.
My daughter is only eight years old and innocent and cute. She is the flesh in his heart and cannot be bullied by anyone.
When Bai Shicheng thought that if he died, his daughter would be lonely and bullied, and might not even have the chance to grow up as an adult.
Especially in contemporary Julu Hou, he is not very good-natured, narrow-minded and selfish, and intolerant, but he loves his children in particular. It is normal for him to take his anger on him.
