After the long arrow was shot, the raindrops of hidden weapons finally stopped, and then, a figure fell from the top of the tree and hit the ground.
Shen Rou hurriedly stepped forward to check: "It's a paper doll."
She took out the arrow stuck on the paper figurine and handed it back to Dongfang Yue.
"How could it be a paper figure!" Shangguan Qi was furious, and she was sleeping soundly, when she came out suddenly. With so many hidden weapons, it is obviously impossible for them to be issued by paper figurines.
"They have already left." Dongfang Yue said.
"Wait, there's a letter here." Shen Rou bent over and took out a letter from the body of the paper figurine. The letter was pierced by Dongfang Yue's arrow, and when it was opened, there was only one line of writing on it.
"August 14th, White Fox Mountain, Emerald Valley, Maoshi, one against five, one-to-one battle, Yours sincerely, Mr. Gui." Shen Rou read the contents of the letter softly.
"Young Master Gui? Has he been here?!" Shangguan Qi's complexion changed dramatically.
"It's really bold to dare to say that one is against five." Shen Rou couldn't help sighing, and became more and more curious about this ghost boy who caused troubles in the Jianghu.
Duan Feibai supported Tao Jingyi to sit down on the chair, he lit the remaining candle and held it in front of Tao Jingyi.
Tao Jingyi's cheeks were pale, and his body was dripping with cold sweat.
"Are you injured by a hidden weapon?" Duan Feibai asked in shock.
No wonder she was leaning in his arms just now, her body was limp, as if she couldn't exert any strength.
Tao Jingyi raised her hand. On the back of her hand, there was a bright red scratch, which was accidentally cut by the hidden weapon when she shot down the hidden weapon for Dongfang Yue.
I don't know what kind of poison was applied to this hidden weapon, it paralyzed her nerves, not only could she not move her body, she could not even speak.
Duan Feibai raised the back of her hand and looked at it carefully for a while.
A burst of heat and humidity suddenly came from the back of his hand, and Tao Jingyi's eyes widened involuntarily, staring at Duan Feibai as if he had seen a ghost.
It turned out that Duan Feibai was holding her hand and sucking out the poisonous blood for her with his mouth. His lips were warm and soft, printed on the back of her hand, the touch was very clear. She could even feel the blood in her body draining away with his sucking movements.
Duan Feibai sucked out a mouthful of black blood, and spat it on the ground. After three mouthfuls, the blood returned to its normal color. He put down her hand, and took out a white veil and a red pill from his sleeve.
He crushed the pill, applied it on the wound, and carefully wrapped it with a white veil.
"The toxin has been cleared, but your body will not be able to move for a while."
Tao Jingyi nodded, she felt very sleepy now, her consciousness was groggy.
Duan Feibai picked up the coat that fell on the ground, wrapped it around her body, and said in a warm voice, "Sleep for a while, and it will be fine in the morning."
The three of Dongfang Yue searched around outside, confirmed that there was no danger, and returned to the hall.
Dongfang Yue saw Tao Jingyi half lying on the chair with a pale face, and the feeling of suffocation came again. He turned his head, forcing himself not to look at Tao Jingyi, and turned to ask Duan Feibai about her situation. After learning that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the threshold and sat down.
Shen Rou gave Duan Feibai the letter just now, and asked, "Mr. Duan, what do you think we should do?"
"Since Mr. Gui dared to invite you, he must have made thorough preparations, just waiting for us to throw ourselves into the trap."
"What Mr. Duan said is true, so what should we do." Shen Rou's face was full of worry.
"The time limit given to us by the Martial Arts League is three months. If Mr. Gui has been hiding in Baihu Mountain for these three months, we have no other choice."
Shen Rou hesitated: "Young Master Duan means..."
Duan Feibai didn't answer directly, but turned to Shangguan Qi: "Senior Shangguan, you have the most experience in Jianghu here, what do you think?"
When Duan Feibai asked, everyone's eyes focused on Shangguan Qi. Duan Feibai's respectful attitude made him very useful, Shangguan Qi said in a deep voice: "My nephew is right, if that ghost boy stays behind closed doors, I'm afraid we will have to make this trip in vain. Why don't we think of a way to get him out of here?" Bring it out."
"Young Master Gui acts perversely and never plays cards according to common sense, how should we lure him out of the mountain." Shen Rou frowned.
"Well..." Shangguan Qi was in a dilemma.
Gui Gongzi's whereabouts are secretive, and he has always been elusive. If he hadn't revealed his whereabouts, they would not know that he is now in the Emerald Valley of White Fox Mountain.
"Young Master Dongfang, you have been silent all this time, but you already have an idea in your heart?" Shen Rou turned to Dongfang Yue who was silent at the side.
Dongfang Yue shot the arrow very beautifully just now. Unexpectedly, he is not only a master of sword, but also a good archer.
Shen Rou admired him even more in her heart.
"Since Mr. Gui invites you, let's go to the appointment." Dongfang Yue, who was sitting at the threshold, said.
The time for the appointment is set by Young Master Gui, but it is not up to Young Master Gui whether to obey or not. The Emerald Valley of Baihu Mountain is going to go, which day and when to go are up to them. Mr. Gui is too conceited, all they have to do is to kill him by surprise.
Although Tao Jingyi's consciousness was drowsy, it didn't completely disappear. She heard every word they said.
Dongfang Yue is a bold person with high skills, and doesn't care about the trap set by Mr. Gui, so she suggested breaking into the dragon's pool and tiger's lair. Shangguan Qi and Shen Rou are the outstanding fighters in this martial arts competition. They are confident that even if Young Master Gui has already laid a net, with the strength of the five of them, they can take him down.
Baihu Mountain didn't set up any nets, Mr. Gui's net had already been set up from the moment the martial arts conference ended, and Baihu Mountain was where he collected his nets.
Duan Feibai had unknowingly injected hallucinogenic drugs into the campfire long ago, and once the toxicity hidden in their bodies broke out, he could wipe them all out without any effort.
Tao Jingyi thought back to this part of the plot in the original book.
In the original book, Mr. Gui killed Shangguan Qi in the Emerald Valley, ending his career of revenge. But Dongfang Yue fell into the abyss and escaped by luck. As for Shen Rou, because of the battle on the martial arts arena, Duan Feibai had a good impression of her, so he let her go, and only threw her out of the Emerald Valley.
The other Tao Jingyi took up the spot, a master named passer-by, his existence was used as cannon fodder, and he was beheaded by Mr. Gui before he entered the Emerald Valley, and he was disarmed.
In this battle, no one took down Mr. Gui's head, and the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance was suspended like this. The Martial Arts League decided to extend the time for the task of hunting Young Master Gui, with the conditions unchanged, whoever takes his head will be the next leader of the Martial Arts League.
After dawn, Tao Jingyi's body gradually regained consciousness. She moved her nearly stiff limbs, stood up, and stretched.
It was raining cats and dogs yesterday, and it cleared up early the next morning. The sky is vast and clear, the sun shrouds the earth, and the plants washed by the rain become more crisp and bright.
After the five of them had breakfast, they decided to set off for Baihu Mountain. Before leaving, Dongfang Yue said to Tao Jingyi: "This trip is dangerous and unpredictable, you stay and wait for us to come back."
Tao Jingyi shook her head like a rattle: "Brother, I'll go with you." Fearing that he would object, she cited the rules of the Wulin League, "I am qualified to compete for the leader of the Wulin League."
Dongfang Yue was taken aback: "Do you really want to be the leader of the martial arts?"
Tao Jingyi nodded guiltily.
If she couldn't follow, she wouldn't be able to fish in troubled waters and steal Duan Feibai's piano and sword. Mr. Gui used the puppet string to kill Shangguan Qi. At that time, he didn't bring his Qin sword with him, so he must have left it in the Emerald Valley. She just took advantage of this opportunity to leave with the piano and sword.
Dongfang Yue obviously had an expression of disbelief.
Tao Jingyi pushed him outside with his hands: "Let's go, let's go, I promise I won't hold you back."
"I don't dislike you for dragging your feet..." Dongfang Yue wanted to explain.
"Understood, brother is just worried about my safety, don't worry, I will protect myself." Tao Jingyi had a clear smile on his face, and the look of his eyebrows and eyes was so irresistible.
Dongfang Yue had no choice but to say, "After entering the mountain, follow me and don't go far."
Tao Jingyi nodded, almost swearing to God.
The five got on their horses and rushed all the way in the direction of Baihu Mountain. About two days later, they arrived at their destination. Tao Jingyi got off his horse and stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the continuous mountains.
It is said that Baihu Mountain was named Baihu Mountain because of its resemblance to a fox. Some people say that it was called Baihu Mountain because a white fox once practiced here, or it should be called Bihu Mountain.
Several people rushed over all the way, not only tired, but also their mounts. Shen Rou suggested: "Otherwise, let's repair here first before entering the mountain."
Once her proposal was put forward, it was immediately agreed by other people.
It was getting late, and here was a wilderness as far as the eye could see, and there was no one house, so they had to sleep outside overnight. Fortunately, the weather was fine, neither wind nor rain.
Several people found a mountain wall and used it as a place to rest temporarily.
The setting sun slowly sinks towards the western sky along the arc of the mountains. After the setting sun sinks, the twilight becomes thicker, until the last bit of light is swallowed by the night.
A bonfire rose in front of the mountain wall, and the flames danced, reflecting Tao Jingyi's cheeks. Tao Jingyi poked the fire with a branch, and Shen Rou sat opposite her, relatively silent with her.
After a while, the three men who had gone hunting came back with their prey each. This trip was quite fruitful, and Dongfang Yue went to the river to catch some fish. When the fish was brought back, its scales had been removed and it was cleaned very cleanly.
Tao Jingyi was surprised, he didn't expect Dongfang Yue to have such a trick. However, people who walk in the rivers and lakes more or less know how to cook.
She took out some jars from the package. These jars contained salt and other seasonings and carried them with her to prevent the situation of sleeping in the wild. Sure enough, they came in handy so soon.
Dongfang Yue's cooking skills are not bad, and Duan Feibai's cooking skills are even more amazing. In comparison, the two women Tao Jingyi and Shen Rou seem a bit clumsy. Ever since one of Dongfang Yue's fish was roasted, Tao Jingyi obediently stood aside and waited to eat, so as not to spoil the ingredients.
Shen Rou was even more exaggerated, a good rabbit was roasted into a blackened stone by her. After embarrassingly putting down the rabbit, she also sat with Tao Jingyi, watching the three men busy.
After a sumptuous dinner, Dongfang Yue and Duan Feibai would watch the first half of the night and the second half of the night respectively, while the others slept to recharge their energy.
The weather was cold at night, especially in this field. Even though there was a fire, Tao Jingyi woke up from the cold in the middle of the night.
She opened her eyes, the flames danced, reflecting a tall figure.
Duan Feibai stood under the tree, looking at the bright and clear cold moon, wondering what he was thinking.
Because Tao Jingyi kept one movement for too long, his body was a little stiff, so he moved slightly. With this movement, Duan Feibai immediately turned his head vigilantly, meeting her gaze.
"Why, can't sleep?" Duan Feibai walked towards her and squatted down beside her.
Tao Jingyi shook his head and closed his eyes, obviously unwilling to talk to him. There was a sudden warmth on her body, it was Duan Feibai who took off his clothes and wrapped them around her body.
Tao Jingyi opened his eyes, grabbed his robe, and whispered, "I'm not cold."
"Put it on, it's cold at night, be careful of freezing."
Tao Jingyi lowered his eyes. The relationship between her and Duan Feibai is very delicate now, as if there is a layer of window paper separated, no one wants to pierce this layer of window paper first, because they don't know, after piercing this layer of window paper, what is waiting for them what is it.
