Chapter 31 True and False Key
Bamboo pieces are flying and the air waves are surging.
Fu Qingzhou's vision went dark for a moment. He felt as if he had hit a speeding dump truck and his whole body was thrown away.
Just at the moment when he was blown away, there seemed to be a force protecting him.
After blinking, he fell heavily to the ground. His whole body was in pain and felt like it was falling apart. So he quickly calmed down and used his martial arts to breathe in his spirit.
After about three to five breaths, he finally managed to recover from the dizziness and rolled over from the ground to sit up.
Beside him, Hua Xiaolan knelt on one knee, confronting the elder not far ahead.
The stilted building had been completely bombed to pieces at this time. The old man was holding a cane and standing in front of the ruins with a half-smile; Hua Xiaolan had blood at the corner of her mouth, a cold expression, and a pendant on her neck seemed to be missing. Floating gently due to gravity, surrounded by a faint green smoke.
"The green smoke is falling... hum."
The elder sneered: "I can't kill you, you are lucky."
As he spoke, he flipped his hand gently, and a brass key appeared between his fingers, but it was the one Fu Qingzhou had taken out before: "You are really cautious...even I was fooled, but now, prepare to die. !”
Two gleams of light burst out from the elder’s eyes, and the crutch in his hand hit the ground a little harder.
The whole land trembled, and the ground in front of him seemed to turn into a carpet, causing waves. The collapsed earth and rocks lifted up more than five feet high and rushed toward the two of them!
Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank, he clenched the jade token in his hand, and ignored the smoker's random shouts in his mind, preparing to throw it out. He didn't believe that this guy wouldn't protect himself...
But before he could make a move, Hua Xiaolan moved first.
She touched her lips lightly and spoke a series of unintelligible words at a very fast speed. Her voice was completely different from her usual speech and seemed extremely gloomy.
The next second, the earth and rocks that had rushed in front of the two people suddenly collapsed into powder, covering them with dust and mud, but it did not cause any harm.
At the same time, the elder let out a miserable cry!
In the scattered smoke and dust, you can see him taking a few steps back, his crutch clattering to the ground. His right hand that was originally holding the crutch was decaying at a terrifying speed, and the flesh and blood turned into pus and blood in the blink of an eye. , even the bones are melting!
In less than a few breaths, the palm of the elder's right hand had completely melted, leaving only a pool of pus, blood and bone meal on the ground.
"Transform into demon Gu?!" His voice trembled, with fear and anger, and he glared at Hua Xiaolan: "You?!"
"Master has long guessed that this day would come. , more than ten years ago, the poison was planted in you!"
Hua Xiaolan sneered: "Nian Rufeng, aren't you going to kill me?"
Fu Qingzhou's eyes gradually calmed down. Sure enough, since she dared to run around in the mountains by herself when both camps had turned against each other, it showed that she had enough power to protect herself.
On the other side, the old man gritted his teeth and watched his right hand rotting and melting little by little. While he was talking, most of his forearm had melted away.
"Hmph..."
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he raised his left hand into a knife and slashed hard on his right elbow!
As the blood surged, the remaining right forearm clattered to the ground, turning into pus and blood on the ground.
Seeing this, Hua Xiaolan smiled even more happily: "You can survive with a broken arm? Nian Rufeng, do you underestimate the master's methods?"
Elder Nian's expression He changed and lowered his head.
He was wearing a loose robe, and no one could see what was happening in the robe, but judging from his expression, Hua Xiaolan was definitely not talking in vain.
"Damn it..."
He gritted his teeth bitterly, and then a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I count you lucky and lucky... at least you have the key, Long. Dabei must have a way to break your poison!"
After that, he no longer bothered about killing the two people in front of him, and turned around and left. A strong wind blew away the smoke and dust, and the old man disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Here, Hua Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little weak.
Fu Qingzhou then had a chance to speak, and he smiled: "Okay, I actually scared him away."
Hua Xiaolan turned around and glared at him: "That key, What's going on?"
"You cooperated so well, you must have guessed it, right?" Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "I asked Tang Jiao to find the key in front of the Fengxue Pond this morning. The craftsmen in the village helped me to open it, but nothing can be opened."
Hua Xiaolan looked slightly confused: "But why would the elder follow me and come here to steal this key?"
Fu Qingzhou patted the dust on his body and said leisurely: "Of course it's because he couldn't save Long Dabei with the key he held before."
"He couldn't open the lock with the key, so he would naturally think that the key It's a lie. The first thing you will think of is that I hid the key in the first place, so there is a high probability that he didn't come with you, but came for me from the beginning... He just happened to see you, so he hid and waited. Let’s see if I can explain this to you.”
“No, I’ll just give him the key he wants.”
Hua Xiaolan frowned: “But. Why couldn't he open the lock with the key he held before? Could it be that the key-keeping disciple was also guarding a fake lock? When I learned that the brass key was used to save a wicked man, I wore out the teeth on it.”
Hua Xiaolan's eyes widened: "Ah?!"
"Yes."
Fu Qingzhou blinked innocently: "What's wrong."
Hua Xiaolan looked a little dizzy: "You, you, you, you have worn it out? Then Long Dabei will be trapped in Youzhu Cave forever?"
"Yes, otherwise. ”
Fu Qingzhou curled his lips and said: "If such a villain can't be released, he can't be released... I'm surprised, why is such an important key so ordinary?"
"Used at that time. The boxes used to hide the keys all have mechanisms. Could it be that your Youzhu Cave relies on a copper key that I can grind off the teeth with a stone to open the lock? ?”
After asking these questions, he found that Hua Xiaolan’s little brows wrinkled again...
“Okay, okay, I won’t pry into your secrets”
Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "At least now that the elder is poisoned and has a fake key to save people, you should have enough time, right? Why are you still staring at me here? Organize people to surround him? ”
"Huh, you don't have to say this?"
After being out of danger, Hua Xiaolan returned to her previous coquettishness. She rolled her eyes and waved her hand: "But you have to follow me—— Don’t think I didn’t notice that when the elder knocked us two away just now, you used the power of the jade token to protect yourself. Now that we are short of manpower, you still have to help me!”
Fu Qingzhou laughed: "So unsure of yourself? The elder is so virtuous. I'm afraid that by the time we get to Youzhu Cave, he will have rotted into a puddle of mud in front of the cave. What are you afraid of?"
Hua Xiaolan She glared at him: "Didn't you say that Elder Ma came to hold us back on purpose? Then could he..."
Before she finished speaking, there was a sound coming from a mountain not far away. There was a loud bang!
"Oops!"
Her expression suddenly tightened: "This is where Elder Ma is imprisoned!"
