Chapter 161 Conflict, Panshan’s Taboo!

On his shoulder stood a white ermine.

"Squeak..."

The white mink seemed quite obedient, jumping from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, and then suddenly onto the raft.

The old man had a slight smile on his face. He stood in front of the raft, which was sunk a little by his weight.

Behind him, rowing the raft, was a young man in his thirties.

He was wearing a thin mountaineering suit. He was tall and strong, with fair skin, but his eyes looked a little small.

"Master, this Rice Noodle Ditch doesn't seem to be as powerful as the rumors say?" the young man asked.

They had heard that Mixian Gou was extremely dangerous, so they had made sufficient preparations for this visit. However, after entering Mixian Gou, they did not encounter any danger.

The young man felt that the rumors were probably exaggerated.

"Didn't you see the battle that took place in the cave?"

The old man stood in front of the raft with his hands behind his back, looking like a hermit. "And the corpse that crossed the mountain peak has grown so big, I'm afraid it must have died a long time ago. These snakes can't have been dead for long, someone got there before us."

They just entered the cave and took a look, but they didn't find the treasure. They only saw a pile of dead poisonous snakes. They were a little shocked at the time.

Especially the corpse that passed the mountain, its size clearly showed that it was a snake king.

You can easily imagine how powerful it was when it was alive.

In other words, it’s not that Mixian Valley is not dangerous, but that someone has been there before and the danger in the valley has been eliminated.

"Then has our trip been in vain? If we can't find the treasure, how are we going to explain to our employer when we return?" the young man asked.

"Explain?"

The old man chuckled with a look of arrogance on his face, "What explanation do you need? My surname is Xie. When do I need to explain to anyone? Not to mention that I didn't find the treasure, even if I did, do you think I would give it to him?"

"Master is still so domineering."

The young man boasted, "But I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect the final payment of one million they promised to give us."

"Anyway, we have been to this rice noodle ditch. Save the photos and videos you just took and show them to them after you get down the mountain."

"He's just a local rich man. If he knows what's best for him, he'll pay the balance. If he doesn't, your master and I have a hundred ways to deal with them..."

A hint of ferocity flashed across the old man's brows.

"Master is wise."

The young man grinned and laughed extremely happily.

But then, the smile on his face turned into doubt, "Master, who do you think caught this white mink we found yesterday? Will we get into any trouble if we take it away?"

It was really lucky. The two men had been in the mountains for several days. Yesterday they got lost in the mountains and ran around in a panic, and accidentally ran to the edge of a cliff.

A white mink trapped in a cage and the body of the snake king were found on the edge of the cliff.

The old man knew the value of the thing and he immediately had evil thoughts. Seeing that there was no one around, he just took it for himself.

The white mink seemed to be grateful for his life-saving grace and was actually quite close to him, which made him even more overjoyed.

"Ah."

The old man chuckled. "Things from the mountains belong to whoever picks them up. What's the problem?"

The young man was still a little uneasy. How could someone who could hunt a sable and such a big king snake be just an ordinary person?

He must have some skills.

If the other party comes to them for help, there will definitely be a conflict.

In Panshan Realm, their behavior is indeed despicable.

Stealing things that others have taken is a taboo in the Panshan business.

Of course, there are not many good people in the Panshan business, and the so-called taboos are only put on the surface to restrain others.

Whether or not to comply with it depends on personal awareness.

In the deep mountains and old forests, murders and robberies are not uncommon.

The business in Panshan is even more bloody. Compared with killing people and robbing treasures, they just steal things, which is still considered a light crime.

"Don't worry, the man might be dead or have fallen off a cliff!"

The old man looked calm and composed. "Besides, we are not pushovers. In this Panshan world in Shuzhong, who doesn't give me some face..."

As they were talking, the two of them went ashore.

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the woods.

The master and disciple immediately became alert.

"Chiji..."

A group of nimble figures were jumping up and down, playing and frolicking in the woods.

"Master, it's a group of monkeys!"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said to the old man.

At this moment, the old man's attention was attracted by a swaying figure in the woods.

monkey!

It was a Tibetan macaque that was obviously larger in size.

Its fur is soft and shiny, and it leaps between the trees with sparkling eyes, looking extremely agile.

At this moment, the monkey seemed to sense the ill intention in his eyes and looked at him from a distance.

"Ho!"

The monkey bared its teeth at him and even glared at him.

The old man was slightly startled and murmured, "Emei is indeed a blessed place in the mountains of Shu. There are so many animals that have become powerful..."

Then he was ecstatic, "Apprentice, do you want a pet?"

The young man was stunned, and followed his gaze, looking into the woods.

Suddenly, he understood what was going on.

He nodded his head quickly like a chick eating rice, "Yes, Master, I want..."

A spiritual pet, of course he wants it.

He had wanted the white sable before, but the old man had no intention of giving it to him. Now, when it comes to spiritual pets, he is naturally extremely excited.

"Bring me my blowgun!"

The old man held out his hand.

The young man quickly took out a blowpipe from his backpack and handed it to him.

The old man took the blowpipe, put a poison needle into it, and immediately crouched down and dived into the woods.

He moved towards the monkey group. Today, he had to show off his skills in front of his disciple.

The monkeys were completely unaware that danger was approaching.

The big monkey looked over here and seemed to realize something. It chirped a few times and wanted to lead the monkey group away.

"call out!"

The old man put the blowpipe in his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and blew out a deep breath.

A sound that breaks through the air.

The poison needle flew out instantly.

A squeaking sound.

The poison needle pierced the monkey's shoulder.

"Ho!"

The monkey felt pain and immediately glared in his direction, letting out an angry roar.

The monkeys didn't know what was going on and were in a panic.

bingo!

A smile broke out on the old man's face.

Instead of being afraid, he chased after him.

"Ho!"

The Monkey King stood on the branch, roaring continuously and threatening the old man below.

However, the old man turned a deaf ear to it.

The monkeys also barked at the old man, but none of them dared to approach.

This old man gave them a feeling of great danger.

There was an aura around him, and this aura, like a natural enemy, completely suppressed them in terms of level.

"Haha, this tiger urine is a bit smelly, but it is very effective against these beasts in the mountains."

The old man laughed and walked towards the monkey group with big strides.

"Chiji..."

The monkeys were terrified; the smell coming from the old man made them extremely uncomfortable.

"Chiji..." the monkey king shouted, and the monkeys scattered instantly.

"Can you run away?"

Looking at the Monkey King's receding figure, the old man's mouth curled up with a hint of playfulness, raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As he clenched his last finger into a fist, he saw a figure suddenly falling from a branch in the distance.

It was the Monkey King.

"Master, that's awesome."

The young man came forward, staring at the old man with wide eyes, and was completely impressed by him.

"Haha, kid, you still have a lot to learn."

The old man was very pleased with the young man's flattery. He chuckled and took him away.

The Monkey King fell into the bushes, shook his head violently, and tried to struggle to get up, but soon his two lively eyes became blurred.

There was a pop.

He just fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

The young man ran forward, grabbed the monkey king by the tail and lifted him up.

"This time, it's not like I came here in vain, right?"

The old man stroked his beard, looking like a real expert.

"Thank you, Master. You are so awesome."

The young man was so overjoyed that he held the Monkey King in his hand, looking at him from left to right. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

This is a powerful wild beast. It is a spiritual pet that many people in Panshan have been longing for but unable to obtain, but he got it so easily.

"Wild beasts in the mountains are savage and difficult to tame. I've given you a spirit pet. Whether you can tame it depends entirely on your ability."

"Master, rest assured, I can definitely tame it."

"Put some more tiger urine on your body, otherwise these monkeys will tear you apart."

"Yes!"

As they were talking, the master and the disciple walked out of the forest.

The old man suddenly paused.

He looked forward suddenly, his eyes suddenly became cold.

I saw two people walking towards me from the direction of the valley entrance.

Like them, there is one old and one young.

……

-

Two teams, old and young, met on a narrow road.

As they looked at each other, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Xie Baokun?"

Qinzhou seemed to know this person and immediately called out his name.

The old man opposite was a little surprised when he heard this.

His eyes fell on Qinzhou, as if he was trying hard to match him with a figure in his mind.

But in the end, he gave up.

Among the Panshan masters he knew, there was no one like the one in front of him.

"We know each other?"

There was a bit of indifference in the old man's eyes. Since he didn't even know him, he definitely couldn't be considered a master.

"Ah."

Qinzhou chuckled and was about to say something when he saw Chen Yang standing out.

"What did you do to it?"

Chen Yang's voice was cold.

His face changed when he saw the Monkey King being carried by the young man.

The Monkey King was like a noodle, drooping on the young man's shoulder, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

The old man was displeased when he heard this, "Young man, didn't your elders teach you manners?"

I'm talking to your elder, when is it your turn as a junior to interrupt?

Teach you the code!

Chen Yang became furious and took a few steps forward, heading straight towards the young man.

The young man was startled.

Chen Yang came too fast and he had no time to react. He only saw the other party kicking him.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the man had already flown out.

"Oh!"

The young man fell five meters away, holding his stomach, and couldn't get up at all.

Chen Yang snatched the Monkey King away.

The old man next to him was already stunned.

Did you just take action without saying anything?
Where does this kid come from?
To be able to kick his disciple so far with one kick, he must have at least 50% of his strength.

By the time he reacted, Chen Yang had already retreated back to Qinzhou's side.

Put the Monkey King on the ground and check the situation.

"What a courage!"

The old man finally realized what was going on and scolded Chen Yang, staring at him with his tiger eyes, "Which lineage are you from? Don't you know the rules of the winding mountain road?"

"Not only did you hurt someone, you even snatched something that someone else had. Even if I beat you to death today, no one would say a word against me, Xie, if the news got out."

……

The old man was surprisingly angry.

It has always been the case that I have robbed others' things, but it has never been the case that others have robbed my things. Moreover, the other party even beat my apprentice in front of me. What's the difference between this and slapping myself in the face?

"Snapped!"

Facing the old man's questioning, Qinzhou clapped his hands. "I've never seen anything like this before. Mr. Xie, you actually know the rules of the Panshan people. You stole my white mink, and what should I say?"

White mink?

Was that white mink caught by the person in front of me?

The old man's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

It was not an honorable thing for him to steal the sable.

"Squeak..."

The white mink stood on the old man's shoulder, staring at Qinzhou with hatred, and waving its claws in the air at Qinzhou, as if accusing Qinzhou of crimes.

It's a bit like the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might.

If Qinzhou could understand animal language, the white mink must have been scolding him, and the scolding was very dirty.

"Your white mink?"

The old man reacted at this time and sneered, "If you say it's yours, it's yours? Call it and see if it will agree to you."

Qin Zhou's face trembled. "I've heard for a long time that there is a shameless person in Panshanjie, Yuzhou. His surname is Xie and his name is Baokun. After meeting him today, I found that his reputation is indeed well-deserved. Mr. Xie, this is Shuzhong, did you cross the line?"

"What did you say?"

The old man was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His fur instantly stood up, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Do you dare to say what you just said again?"

Qin Zhou ignored him and asked, "You took the snake king's body, too, right?"

There was a flash of surprise in the old man's eyes.

Could it be that the things on the cliff were really left behind by these two people?
Did they kill the snake king?
So, were those poisonous snakes in the cave also caused by these two people?

Then we can further conclude that the treasure in the cave was also obtained by these two people first?

Thinking of this, a strange look flashed in the old man's eyes.

"So, the things in the cave were taken away by you?"

The old man stood there with his big belly, like a mountain, majestic and towering.

"I don't care who you are. If you know what's best for you, hand over the things in the cave. Leave the monkey and the dog here. I can pretend that what happened today never happened. Otherwise, I might as well let you see what the old man can do."
