The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

Inn

After a round of toasts, Hou Qing asked An Dongjun:

"I wonder how such an extraordinary person like Brother An could suddenly appear in such a remote place?"

“To be honest with you, Brother Hou, I have heard of the great name “One hundred thousand witches and sorcerers in the Twelve Caves, and the Twelve Caves are hard to find” when I was traveling.

I am yearning for this, thinking that life is short and we should enjoy it while we can, so I came here. I wonder who you are, Brother Hou?"

Of course, it was impossible for Anton Jun to directly say that he came for Hou Qing. Besides, he was indeed going to Twelve Caves, so it was not a lie.

Hou Qing's eyes lit up. This person was exactly what he liked!

"To be honest, I am also very curious about the legendary Twelve Caves."

Anton quickly tried to get close to him:

"Oh? What a coincidence! Since our destination is the Twelve Caves, our meeting is destiny. You and I are both extraordinary people, and now we feel like old friends. How about we travel together this time?"

"That would be the best, but I have been to Raojiang several times before and tried to find the Twelve Caves, but I always came back empty-handed. I wonder if Brother An has any way to find that mysterious place?"

"Yes, I once heard that there are clues to enter the Twelve Caves in the Dead Creek Forest of Raojiang, so I want to go to the Dead Creek Forest to check it out first."

"..."

While the two were chatting happily, Miao Chengtian also found this place with the help of a small wisp of sword energy he got from Nian Ling.

As soon as I came in, I saw two handsome men in white drinking. I immediately recognized which one was Anton Jun, after all, I had seen him last time.

Although they only saw each other a few times, Anton-kun's characteristic was obvious, that is, both arms were wrapped with white ribbons, so he stepped forward and bowed:

"Chen Miao has met you, sir."

At this time, she has a horn-like ornament on her head, her hair is long on both sides, she has six gold hairpins, a gold ornament on her neck, a pink coat, dark brown tights and a short skirt. It is a classic image in the anime.

Hou Qing just narrowed his eyes when he saw the woman.

'woman?'

Then he looked at Anton-jun with a puzzled look, as if asking what was going on?

After Anton realized what was happening, he immediately explained.

"Oh, Brother Hou, this is... a friend of mine, yes! A friend!"

Hou Qing also showed an expression that said "I understand". An Dongjun quickly added:

"Alas, when I see injustice, I draw my sword to help. The beauty repays the favor and accompanies me all the way. That's all, don't get me wrong!"

After hearing this, Hou Qing sighed as if thinking about something:

"Oh~"

Anton was afraid that he had misunderstood something again, so he winked at Miaocheng Tianshi, and the two of them walked towards the room upstairs together.

"Brother Hou, excuse me for a moment."

-

In the room, Anton Jun turned his back to Miao Chengtian, looked out the window, stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.

After a long time, he turned his head, his eyes stern:

"Chen Miao, no, I should call you Miao Chengtian. Did the Empress instruct you to come here this time, or was it your own idea?"

Although Miao Chengtian was surprised that he had seen through his disguise, he quickly adjusted himself and knelt down to explain:

"My lord, you have a keen eye, and I dare not hide anything from you.

In the past, you were generous in helping me gain a new life, so this time I came to find you out of my own wish.

Please don't misunderstand the Empress, and don't despise me. Let me stay by your side and serve you."

When Anton heard that it was not the Empress' idea, he felt relieved and his expression softened. He helped her up with a faint smile on his face:

"Hey, what are you doing? I made it very clear to the Empress that day that there's no need to worry about it. And you see, it's not very convenient for a beauty like you to follow me, right?"

"..."

Seeing that she didn't respond, he was about to continue persuading her to go back, but then he remembered that his travel money was almost spent, so he gave up the idea.

And he just observed her and found that her complexion was a little better than last time, but she was not fully recovered yet:

"Your congenital paralysis meridians haven't been completely healed yet, right?

Then stay. I don't have anything else, but my martial arts and medical skills are decent enough. I can help you with treatment faster.

However, you can stay with me, but I have to make three rules with you.

First of all, don't kneel down all the time. I don't like these things. Also, the guy downstairs is very important to me. Be careful not to let him see anything. "

"Thank you, young master!" Miao Chengtian said happily upon hearing this.

"Don't call me Young Master. You are my friend now. Just call me An Dongjun or Dongjun in front of outsiders.

Finally, uh… do you have any money on you?"

"Ah? Of course there are. I wonder if these are enough? If not, I can go to the branch office to get more."

Miao Chengtian obviously didn't react to Anton Jun's question, nor did he expect him to change the subject so quickly, but he reacted quickly and answered hastily.

As he said this, he took off the purse from his waist and handed it to Anton-kun with both hands.

Anton took it and weighed it. He found that it was heavier than his own and said quickly, "That's enough. Thank you."

Then he put half of it into his own purse, gave the rest back to her, and went downstairs alone.

Seeing this, Miao Chengtian withdrew his previous judgment of him.

She originally thought that a great man with such cultivation level would definitely have an unusual temperament, but this time it was beyond her expectations.

And I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. Looking at the purse in my hand, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Master An, you're surprisingly easy to get along with!"

After returning, Anton Jun no longer had the heart to drink with Hou Qing. After discussing with him, he decided to rest in the inn today and go to the Raojiang Poison Cave tomorrow.

As for why go to the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons?

Although Hou Qing had been to Raojiang several times, he had only been to small villages and lived in a dilapidated house in the forest. Hou Qing explained this as follows:

“This way of living is comfortable and unique.”

Therefore, he was relatively unfamiliar with the Ten Thousand Poison Cave and the Dead Creek Forest.

So everyone decided to go to the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons to find King Vip and Lord Poison first, one to see if they could make friends with them, and the other to find out the whereabouts of Dead Creek Forest.

-

The next morning

The three men were riding horses, heading towards the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in Raojiang. The journey was really too boring, so Anton Jun also asked Hou Qing about the news about Raojiang.

"Brother Hou, I heard that there are two factions within the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, led by King Kui and Lord Poison.

Since you have been to Raojiang several times, you must know more than us. Tell us about the situation there."

Hou Qing pondered:

"Well, the terrain of Raojiang is extremely complex, and all kinds of poisonous substances emerge in an endless stream, so generally few people from the Central Plains would go there..."

An Dongjun interrupted quickly: "Ahem, wait a minute, Brother Hou, I know this, let's talk about the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, I want to know how the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is doing now?"

"Let's start from that time. In the past, Raojiang was like the Central Plains, with constant wars. But fifteen years ago, a force appeared there, called the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

Two of the original founders were King Kui and Lord Du. They spent eleven years unifying the entire Raojiang, so the current Raojiang is much more peaceful than before."

"Fifteen years ago? This timeline doesn't match the anime. Isn't this world exactly the same as the anime?"

If that is the case, didn’t King Kui and Lord Du find the strange altar of the god of war?

If they found it, why didn't they give it to Yuan Tiangang? Why did the Tang Dynasty fall?'

When you have a question, you will unconsciously look for the answer, but you find that you can't figure it out no matter what you do.

After thinking for a while, he gave up. With a series of questions in his mind, he decided to go to the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons first to find out more before making any plans.

"Then why would Brother Hou want to go there?"

Anton is still very curious about this question, after all, it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the anime.

"Because that fighting style is very cool, I am very interested in the Raojiang Gu insect technique!"

Anton nodded: "I see... This is Brother Hou's style, then what?"

"When I was traveling in Raojiang, I went to many villages along the way, but I didn't go to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. However, what those people said was surprisingly consistent, so it must be true. I learned the situation of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave from them."

"So what do you think of these two, Brother Hou?"

"Um……"
