Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 148 How to choose?

"what--"

Zhou Xiaomeng also woke up with a start, and what he saw were densely packed poisonous snakes.

The ones crawling on the ground and the ones wrapped around the bamboo formed a circle of two people and three horses. Under the light of the fire, they spit out snake letters, which was hideous and terrifying.

Jiangnan on the side, while maintaining the fire circle formed by dried bamboo leaves, was on alert.

"Brother Jiang, what's going on?" Zhou Xiaomeng's voice trembled.

Girls, no matter if they are Miss Delicate or Heroine, most of them have a natural fear of snakes.

If it's just one or two, Zhou Xiaomeng can easily drive or solve it with martial arts even if Zhou Xiaomeng's heart is in conflict.

But it's so dense!

Just looking at it is creepy and sore.

"It's okay. It will be fine soon. If you are afraid, close your eyes." Jiang Nan retreated to Zhou Xiaomeng and comforted him softly.

Just now, when he noticed the abnormal rustling noise and the abnormal movement of the golden-winged flying snake, Jiangnan checked for a while and immediately found a large group of poisonous snakes surrounding him.

Although venomous snakes are cold-blooded animals, except for a few special species, most of them have no obvious smell.

But when the poisonous snake crawls and spits out letters, a small amount of toxin will spread out.

There may not be many single ones, but if hundreds or thousands add up, it is quite terrifying.

Jiangnan is proficient in medicine, and he can immediately determine what species is coming from the toxins that escape from the air.

So, without hesitation, he swept the dried bamboo leaves on the surrounding ground into a circle, and lit them with a torch, forming a simple defense.

Snakes are afraid of fire, so they stopped outside the fire circle, spitting and neighing silently.

Such a large group of snakes certainly did not form naturally, and must be driven by someone.

Jiang Nan believed that the other party must not only want to kill him two or three horses.

really.

After Zhou Xiaomeng woke up and was fed an antidote pill by Jiangnan, there were a few strange whistles in the bamboo forest, and the snakes around the fire ring seemed to have heard the order, and quickly gave way.

A strange old man in ragged clothes walked out of the snake group unhurriedly, holding a blue bamboo pole.

"Jie Jie Jie, little baby, you react very quickly!"

"You burn such a big fire, it scares my little boy!"

The old man stopped at the fire circle, stared at Jiangnan and Zhou Xiaomeng who were leaning together, and laughed strangely.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" Jiang Nan asked in a concentrated voice.

Jiang Nan is proficient in the "Secret Code of Ten Thousand Poisons", and his poisoning skills have reached the state of great success. In addition, the iron cloth shirt is a perfect state, and his physical defense is beyond the mark. He is not afraid of such poisonous snakes.

The only concern was that there were too many poisonous snakes, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Zhou Xiaomeng and Zhaoye Yushi at the same time.

One person and one horse, no matter who is bitten by a poisonous snake, it is not worthwhile.

"Jie Jie Jie, little baby, you are very calm!"

"Old man's name, you may not know it even if you tell it, so it's worth not to say it."

"As long as you hand over the things, the old man will turn around and leave."

"If you don't know the old man's name, the old man doesn't have to worry about you seeking revenge afterwards, and he doesn't have to kill you to silence you. Wouldn't that be the best?"

The old man laughed bitterly, and said a set of fallacies that seemed to make sense.

"what?"

Jiangnan subconsciously glanced at the Zhaoye Jade Lion, which was still in black disguise, thinking that the old man had also come for the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

Who knows.

The old man didn't even look at the three horses in the circle of fire.

Instead, he stared at Jiangnan and said in a deep voice, "Things that don't belong to you."

"Why are things that don't belong to me here? Did you admit the wrong person?" Jiang Nan asked in surprise.

"Can't be wrong."

The old man said confidently: "It doesn't belong to you, because the thing, although it is on your body, is just someone else asking you to keep it for you. You are not the real owner of the thing."

Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat.

Unexpectedly, what the old man was talking about was a gourd mechanism lock!
As for the identity of the old man, there is already a faint guess.

There is usually only one kind of people in the rivers and lakes who wear ragged clothes and hold bamboo sticks, and that is the disciples of the beggar gang.

In addition to beating dogs, the disciples of the beggar gang also have another specialty, that is, catching snakes and playing with insects.

These two sample skills are all practiced by survival needs.

Under normal circumstances, it is used to deal with the threat of vicious dogs and insects when sleeping in the wilderness.

In special circumstances, it can also be used as life-saving food.

Of course, if you are familiar with the game, you will naturally dig out its derivative value.For example, domesticate snakes and insects and turn them into means of attack.

Combining his attire and behavior, it is not difficult to guess that this old man must be an old beggar who is good at playing with snakes.

just.

Jiang Nan didn't quite understand how the old beggar knew that the gourd mechanism was locked on him.

Previously, judging from the fact that the people in Merchant Fort accurately found his whereabouts, the beggar who handed him the gourd mechanism to lock him should have been captured by the enemy and betrayed his information.

Why does this old beggar know about himself?

Ordinarily, the enemies of the old beggar and the beggar should belong to two different camps!

"What did the senior say? I still don't quite understand."

Unable to figure out the situation, Jiang Nan had no choice but to continue to play dumb, hoping that the old man could reveal more useful information.

"Little baby, it would be boring to pretend any longer."

"The old man doesn't like to kill people, but my little ones like to eat people the most."

"Big deal, let my little baby gnaw you all into skeletons, and then find them from the relics."

"Anyway, that thing can't be chewed."

The old man's voice was slightly cold, and what he said was creepy.

Zhou Xiaomeng also came to his senses at this moment. Apart from being terrified, he was also surprised that what the old man wanted was not the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

Could it be that Big Brother Jiang has something more valuable than the Zhaoye Jade Lion?

In other words, the old man didn't know that among the three horses was a legendary Chollima?

Zhou Xiaomeng's thoughts turned, and he secretly held the long sword in his hand.

As one of the top ten sword sects in the world with a veteran first-class force, the Huashan Sword School also has a secret explosion technique similar to the Burning Blood Dafa.Zhou Xiaomeng has already decided that when he really starts to do it later, he will use this secret technique as soon as possible, and will never hold back Brother Jiang.

"Senior, I'm afraid I don't know yet. When I was in Chang'an Road, that thing was sent to a certain bodyguard agency. At this moment, I'm afraid I have already crossed the river, and I'm about to reach Junshan."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Jiang Nan simply told the truth.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly.

Shouted in surprise: "You didn't lie to me?"

"Isn't that a way for you to create suspicious formations to divert attention?"

"Hehe." Jiang Nan shook his head and sneered, "Senior knows enough news!"

"It's just that I don't know if senior has thought about it. I am not related to the person who asked me to help deliver the things. Since there is a chance for the bodyguard to share the pressure, why is it just so suspicious, instead of actually letting the bodyguard deliver the things?" where to go?"

The old man's expression changed drastically, and he asked, "Which bodyguard agency did you give the things to?"

"Senior is so well-informed, why ask me?"

"If you have a target, go check it out. Those escort agencies are planning to go to Junshan recently. Isn't it clear at a glance?"

"Besides, as a senior, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether the thing is sent by the bodyguard or taken by the senior himself?"

"Or, the senior and the consignee of that thing are not on the same side?"

Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to test out the faction the old man belonged to.

The gourd mechanism lock, the beggar pointed out that it was to be handed over to Zheng Dongshan, the deputy leader of the beggar gang.As long as the old man answers, he can tell whether he and Zheng Dongshan are related.

"Little baby, too much nonsense!"

The old man was obviously a little impatient: "Do you really think that my little ones are vegetarians?"

"Let me ask you again, which bodyguard agency did you give that thing to?"

As if sensing the old man's emotions, the group of snakes that were waiting for orders suddenly became ready to move.

At this time, the dried bamboo leaves that formed the ring of fire had almost burned out, leaving only the green smoke of embers.

The deterrent effect on the group of snakes has been greatly reduced.

Zhou Xiaomeng's whole body tensed up, ready to use the explosive secret technique at any time.

Faced with the old man's persecution, Jiang Nan's expression remained unchanged. He first patted Zhou Xiaomeng's shoulder lightly, signaling her to relax, then turned to the old man, and said lightly:
"It's not impossible to tell you which escort agency you gave it to."

"However, in exchange, can senior also answer a question for me?"

"What's the problem?" the old man asked.

"What's your mother's name?"

"Ok?"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then flew into a rage.

"Good boy! Do you dare to amuse the old man?"

"It's really a young man who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth!"

"Today, I will educate you on behalf of your elders, so that you can feel what it's like to be surrounded by ten thousand snakes!"

"Later, if you can still be so stubborn, the old man will call you grandpa..."

The old man was furious, and slipped out a peculiar whistle from his cuff, and brought it to his mouth, as if he wanted to order the snakes to attack immediately.

"Hey. I don't want a poor, dirty and old grandson like you!"

Jiang Nan pursed his lips and looked disgusted.

"what--"

When the old man heard this, he almost went crazy.

Without hesitation, he blew the whistle in his hand.

just.

Although the whistle sounded, the group of snakes that were about to move suddenly became quiet and trembled.

"Ok?"

The old man paused his mouth and subconsciously raised his eyes.

In front of Jiangnan, there is a strangely shaped golden snake, flapping its wings and resting in mid-air, looking down at the densely packed poisonous snakes on the ground.

"Could this... Could it be... Could it be the legendary Golden Winged Flying Snake?"

The old man's eyes were wide open, staring at the little golden snake, trembling all over.

There is both shock and fear, and more is inconceivable.

"That's right. You are an old beggar, but you can be considered a bit knowledgeable." Jiang Nan said lightly.

"Golden Winged Flying Snake is a legendary Gu, how did you make it recognize you as the master?" The old man forcibly controlled his trembling voice, and asked word by word.

"I killed its last owner. If it has no owner, it will recognize me as the owner." Jiang Nan replied casually.

"It's that simple?" The old man looked unbelievable.

"It's that simple." Jiang Nan replied lightly.

A light flashed in the old man's eyes.

Staring at the Golden Winged Flying Snake that seemed to be floating in the air, he licked his face and said with a fake smile: "Young man, can we have a discussion?"

"What negotiation?"

"Give me this Golden Winged Flying Snake, and I won't force you to ask which escort agency you gave it to, and I will also pass on to you the unique skill of driving ten thousand snakes, how about it?"

"Okay." Jiang Nan nodded lightly.

The old man was surprised.

Who knows.

Jiang Nan continued, "It's just that I'll give it to you, do you dare to take it?"

"Ok?"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Jiang Nan said.

This Golden Winged Flying Snake is a different species from heaven and earth, and it is said that it is enough to rank in the forefront among the wonders of the world.

Not only is the golden body extremely hard, but it is also extremely poisonous, and it is also a fusion of many kinds of poisonous snakes, which can be said to be the best among snakes.

The golden-winged flying snake in front of him belonged to the boy opposite.

I took it rashly, if the other party suddenly ordered the Golden Winged Flying Snake to attack me, then it would be...

As the old man thought about it, a dark and fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

In the night, although Jiang Nan didn't see it, he felt a chill.

just.

Not only was Jiang Nan not afraid, but he was as excited as an old man in his heart.

Full of expectations.

Although it is impossible to forcibly break through the realm of stellar energy by accumulating internal strength, with one's own background, it will not be too much if you absorb a little more skill.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

The old man didn't know what Jiangnan was thinking, and he was only dreaming of his own sweet dreams.

"I really dare not take what you gave me."

"However, the old man doesn't need you to give it."

"I'll get it myself!"

As the old man spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and sprinkled a large handful of snake repellent powder on the Golden Winged Flying Snake.

This snake repellent powder is mixed with realgar and other snake killers.

Usually, just sprinkle a little, no matter how fierce the poisonous snake is, it will be tamed into obedience.

In the old man's mind, no matter how powerful the Golden Winged Flying Snake is, it is still a genus of snakes.

What the old man expected was right.

As soon as the Golden Winged Flying Snake smelled the medicinal powder, it immediately flapped its wings and backed away, burrowing into the skin around Jiangnan's waist.

The old man was very happy, with a complacent expression, ignoring the group of snakes around him who were also scared by the powder and fled to the distance, waved his palms, and beat Jiangnan.

What Jiang Nan said just now reminded him.

If this Golden Winged Flying Snake had a master, it would be really hard to subdue it, and it might be manipulated by the master to plot against him.

But if the owner of the Golden Winged Flying Snake dies and becomes an ownerless thing, all problems will disappear.

This silly kid can subdue the ownerless Golden Winged Flying Snake. As his ancestor who played with snakes, there is no reason why he can't do it!

Since the Golden Winged Flying Snake has been repelled by the medicine, all it needs to do now is to kill its master.

From the beginning to the end, the old man did not take Jiangnan's martial arts seriously.

No matter why the beggar chooses the other party to give such an important gift, no matter how talented the other party is in martial arts, the age limit is there after all—

Even if he cultivated from the mother's womb, it is absolutely impossible to compare his skill with his own who has cultivated for decades.

In particular, what the old man used was the Subduing Dragon Palm, which is known as the world's most powerful palm technique.

Seeing that the old man's fierce and unparalleled palm strength was about to hit Jiangnan.

Zhou Xiaomeng, who had been on guard all along, endured the pain and swung the long sword in his hand.

Jiang Nan's palm, however, came later and collided fiercely with the old man's palm.

"boom--"

The old man took a step back, and Jiang Nan took three steps back.

With this palm, the old man clearly had the upper hand.

just.

Different from the calm and calm situation in the south of the Yangtze River, the horror in the old man's eyes was no less than when he saw the golden-winged flying snake.

"You can also subdue the dragon's palm?" the old man asked in amazement.

"Could it be that you are the only one who knows?" Jiang Nan asked lightly.

"Who on earth are you? My Beggar Clan never has a disciple like you!" The old man took a few steps back and questioned loudly.

Subduing Dragon Palm, as the special skill of the beggar gang, is extremely powerful.

Usually, only high-level beggars who have made great achievements have the opportunity to be taught.Such as elders, the person in charge of state roads, etc.

Moreover, such high-level people usually teach one trick and two tricks.

The boy on the opposite side, only eighteen or nineteen years old, could never be a high-ranking member of the Beggar Clan, let alone be taught such special skills as Subduing Dragon Palm.

The old man couldn't help being frightened.

Because, the old man suddenly thought of an exception.

That is the successor of the master!
The old leader of the Beggar Gang passed away a month ago, and as an old man in the Beggar Gang, he naturally knew about it.

The death of the old gang leader was an emergency, and no arrangements had been made to appoint a successor.

However, if the old gang leader suddenly met a martial arts genius when he was dying, and made an exception and passed on both the Dragon Subduing Palm and his own skills to this genius, then why the young man in front of him is so perverted can be explained.

"In that case, isn't this boy the heir appointed by the old gang leader?"

After some brainstorming, the old man who thought he had guessed the answer suddenly thought of a situation.

His expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

With that palm just now, the old man didn't use all his strength because he thought it was killing a chicken with a bull's knife.

Although when the palms were met, the old man found that the boy's physical strength and strength far exceeded the scope of ordinary people, and it seemed that he was specially born for such a strong palm like subduing dragon palm.But the opponent's skill is limited after all, and the level of Subduing Dragon Palm seems to be mediocre, unable to display the true power of the palm.

The old man is confident that if he goes all out, he can take down the opponent in less than ten moves.

Regarding the opponent's martial arts strength, the old man is confident that he can fully grasp it.

But the key is the identity of the other party!
What if the other party is really the heir designated by the old gang leader?

If so, how should I choose now?

Do you bow your head and admit your mistake, or kill people to silence them?
