Sword from Songshan

Chapter 78: Poison Dragon Cave, Snake Picture Lights Up
After traveling 4,000 miles and riding at full speed for more than ten days, the two men arrived in Lijiang Prefecture, Yunnan.

"The treasure of Emperor Jianwen is in Lijiang?"

In the inn, Fei Bin looked at Lu Nanxing eagerly.

"do not know."

Lu Nanxing picked up the teapot on the table and replied casually.

Bang~!

Fei Bin slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table was knocked over, and he stared at Lu Nanxing with anger on his face.

"I accompanied you all the way to Yunnan, and you dared to play tricks on me!"

"No hurries!"

Lu Nanxing glared back at Fei Bin, put the teacup back in place, poured tea into it, and then spoke slowly.

"Although I don't know where the treasure is, I know the treasure map is in Lijiang."

"Treasure Map?"

Fei Bin was startled and frowned.

After all this fuss, it turns out that instead of digging for treasure directly, you have to find the treasure map first.

"How can treasure be so easy to obtain?"

Lu Nanxing snorted lightly with a hint of disdain.

"If I knew the exact location of the treasure, I would just go and dig it up. Why would I bother you, uncle?"

"Right."

There was an extra layer of obstacle for no reason. Although he was unhappy, as Lu Nanxing said, treasure is not easy to get. This made it more real and credible.

As long as we get the treasure map, we will be close to getting the treasure. Fei Bin took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his restless mood, and then asked softly.

"Where is the treasure map now?"

"By the way, Uncle Master, do you know whose territory this Lijiang Prefecture belongs to?"

"Five Poison Sect."

Although he was annoyed that Lu Nanxing was talking nonsense, Fei Bin still suppressed his temper and answered for the sake of the treasure.

The Five Poison Sect is actually the Five Immortals Sect, one of the two major poison sects in the martial arts world along with the Hundred Medicine Sect.

The Five Saints, snakes, spiders, toads, scorpions, and centipedes, are called the Five Immortals Sect. Most of the sect members are Miao people. They not only have unique martial arts, but are also good at using poison, so people in the martial arts world call it the Five Poison Sect.

"Master uncle is indeed knowledgeable and experienced."

Lu Nanxing smiled, then his eyes suddenly became serious.

"This treasure map is in the hands of the Five Poison Sect!"

"what!"

Fei Bin's eyes widened, he was quite surprised.

No wonder Lu Nanxing traveled all the way to Lijiang, it turned out he came to the Five Poisons Sect.

After a little thought, his brows suddenly frowned again, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Nanxing.

"My good nephew, are you sure you are not playing a trick on me?"

"Uncle Master, where did you get this from?"

"Humph, if the Five Poison Sect had a treasure map, they would have dug up the treasure long ago. Why would they have to wait until you and me?"

"wrong."

Lu Nanxing gently waved his index finger, his face calm, as if everything was under control.

"Although the Five Poison Sect has a treasure map, they do not understand its true meaning."

“They don’t understand!”

Fei Bin blinked and his eyes became excited again.

Yes, if such a valuable treasure falls on the map, there must be some trick. Otherwise, no matter who gets the treasure map, they can find the treasure.

After realizing this, Fei Bin looked at Lu Nanxing in a flattering manner and asked tentatively.

"Master, do you... know how to interpret the diagram?"

"It's natural."

Lu Nanxing did not hide anything and raised his head slightly with some pride.

"In the Bai Xiaosheng Secret Records, not only is the whereabouts of the treasure map explained, but there is also a specific solution."

"Great!"

After getting a positive answer, Fei Bin became excited again, his eyes burning with excitement.

But soon, he frowned again.

"Since it is a treasure map, the Five Poison Sect must have kept it strictly guarded. This is Lijiang, not Kaifeng. It would not be easy for just the two of us to snatch it."

"Indeed."

Lu Nanxing nodded and suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"Master, do you still remember the group of people who suddenly rushed out to do bad things when they were trying to capture Qu Yang?"

"of course I remember!"

Whenever Fei Bin was mentioned, he became furious, because that group of people not only failed in their operation, but also almost lost their lives.

"Why are you mentioning those people again?"

"Then Uncle Master, do you know that there is a woman named Lan Fenghuang among that group of people, and she is the leader of the Five Poison Sect."

"Blue Phoenix?"

Fei Bin frowned and thought. He had never heard of this name in the martial arts world before. The Five Poisons Sect was located in Yunnan, so they probably didn't travel around the Central Plains very often.

But that night, among the other party there was a woman dressed in Miao style, with strange martial arts skills and was good at using poison, which left a deep impression on him.

"She is the Blue Phoenix?"

Fei Bin came back to his senses and suddenly understood.

"She was in Hubei that day, and it is very likely that she has not returned yet. Doesn't this mean that the Five Poison Sect is now without a leader?"

"Not only that, as a leader, how can you go to the Central Plains alone? You must bring some experts to protect you."

"Yes! You're right!"

A large number of experts have been mobilized, which means that the Five Poison Sect is now at its weakest!
Fei Bin couldn't help but think of what Lu Nanxing had said before, that now was a rare opportunity and that they should not miss it, so that's why he temporarily found him as a partner.

This is where the problem lies!

After thinking all this through, Fei Bin had no doubt about what Lu Nanxing said.

He was ready to try again, with a fierce look on his face.

"In that case, what are we waiting for!"

After resting in the inn for half a day, the two hurried out of the city before dark.

They did not go to the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect, but to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain outside the city!
According to Lu Nanxing, the treasure map containing Emperor Jianwen's treasure is in the sacred place of the Five Poisons Sect in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

The snow-capped mountains are vast. How can outsiders know where this so-called holy land is exactly?
Since outsiders don’t know, just ask the people from the Five Poisons Sect.

Fei Bin has completely trusted Lu Nanxing, and for the sake of the treasure, he will do whatever he wants.

He immediately captured a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect, and then under his guidance, they found the holy land in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

"That's it!"

He raised his hand and broke the neck of the Five Poison Sect disciple. Looking ahead, Fei Bin was briefly excited, then frowned slightly.

It looks like just an ordinary cave from the outside, but there are a large number of disciples from the Five Poison Sect guarding the entrance, so it seems to be their holy place.

The place is right, the problem is how to get in.

The entrance to the cave was so small and there were dozens of people guarding it. Not to mention the two grown men, even a bird wouldn't be able to fly in.

"We have to force our way in."

Lu Nanxing spoke with an extremely serious expression.

Fei Bin looked at Lu Nanxing, but was a little hesitant.

"Is the uncle scared?"

Lu Nanxing smiled and snorted again.

"If the treasure map is so easy to get, why would I ask you for help? People die for money and birds die for food. With such great wealth, there is no reason not to risk your life."

“You… are right!”

Fei Bin pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily. Now that the leader of the Five Poison Sect and some of the best fighters were away, this was a godsend opportunity.

If you don't take action now, you will have no chance in the future.

After the discussion was complete, the two of them immediately sneaked towards the cave entrance.

"on!"

The distance was less than a hundred steps, and there was no terrain blocking the way ahead. The two men looked at each other, shouted softly, and rushed out.

"who!"

As soon as the two of them appeared, they were discovered by the guards of the Five Poison Sect, who shouted and stepped forward to stop them.

Boo hoo hoo~!

Fei Bin's face was gloomy. He raised his hand and shot out a few silver needles.

The two Five Poison Sect disciples in the front were hit by needles and fell to the ground immediately.

The people behind couldn't help but hesitate when they saw this.

At this time, Lu Nanxing had already rushed over.

Hurrah~!

The Juque sword swept across, directly pushing away the people in front of him. After opening a gap, he rushed in without any hesitation and headed straight for the cave entrance.

Bang bang~!

Fearing that Lu Nanxing would get there first, Fei Bin quickened his pace, slapped the two men away with his palms, and then rushed in.

"Stop them!"

At this time, the guards had all gathered and shouted to stop the two men.

Although the Five Poison Sect has a large number of members, they are all only second-rate. They are enough to deal with ordinary scoundrels, but they are completely useless against Lu Nanxing and Fei Bin, who are both first-rate masters.

In just a few breaths, the two of them broke through the encirclement and rushed to the front of the cave. Lu Nanxing jumped in without any hesitation.

Although Fei Bin was a little hesitant, seeing that Lu Nanxing had already rushed ahead, he was afraid that Lu Nanxing would get ahead of him, so he didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly followed him in.

“…didn’t they follow in?”

After running a few meters inside, the sounds of pursuit and shouting did not catch up. Fei Bin looked back and saw that the disciples of the Five Poison Sect had stopped at the entrance of the cave, and no one had chased in.

Fei Bin frowned slightly. What was the reason?
This cave is the holy place of the Five Poison Sect. Could it be that there is some strict ban that does not allow them to enter?

It is very likely. After all, there is a treasure map hidden inside. If anyone can enter and anyone can see it, the treasure will be exposed.

While Fei Bin was thinking, Lu Nanxing had no scruples and walked in quickly without any pause.

He is indeed a young boy with no experience in society.

Since it is a holy place, how can there be no defense? In addition to the guards at the entrance, there may be traps inside. It would be dangerous to rush in rashly.

Fei Bin knew it in his mind, but he didn't remind himself. He took a few quick steps to catch up with Lu Nanxing, deliberately lagging behind by two steps.

While walking into the cave, he observed vigilantly.

Although the entrance of the cave is not big, the inside is not narrow either. Although it is a bit winding, fortunately there are no forks in the road.

In this way, just keep walking inside and you will find the treasure map!

Thinking that the treasure map was about to be obtained, Fei Bin couldn't help but get excited again.

"Ah~!"

A scream was heard and Lu Nanxing in front suddenly stopped.

Fei Bin, who was full of joy, was startled and stopped immediately, with his palms ready to strike at any time.

"Uncle Master, save me."

Lu Nanxing stood there, turned around very carefully and reached out to Fei Bin, his face full of fear.

"……This is!"

Fei Bin looked carefully and saw that there were a lot of poisonous snakes under Lu Nanxing's feet!

Not only on the ground, but also on the walls and ceiling of the cave, there are all kinds of poisonous snakes clinging. Looking forward, the cave is densely packed with poisonous snakes!

The poisonous snake was crawling along Lu Nanxing's legs and towards him.

Even Fei Bin, an old hand, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling for a moment.

The Five Poison Sect is well-known for its use of poison, and is skilled in raising and using all kinds of poisonous creatures. But no one would have expected that they would raise a cave of poisonous snakes in this so-called holy land!

No wonder the guards at the cave entrance didn't chase in, and no wonder the Five Poisons Sect felt confident leaving the treasure map in this cave.

In this situation, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't get in.

"Uncle Master, save me..."

Lu Nanxing called for help to Fei Bin again, and in a blink of an eye, poisonous snakes were crawling all over his body.

Many of the frightened venomous snakes turned their heads and spit out their tongues, pretending to pounce on Fei Bin.

Fei Bin's face turned pale. He no longer cared about Lu Nanxing at this moment. He turned around and ran, rushing towards the cave entrance as fast as he could.

Although there were a large number of Five Poison Sect disciples guarding the cave entrance at this time, with Fei Bin's martial arts skills, he would at most suffer some injuries and it would not be difficult for him to rush out.

But if you stay in this cave, you will definitely become bait for these poisonous snakes!
Ah ~!

I had just run a few steps when I heard Lu Nanxing's heart-wrenching screams behind me. I guess he had been bitten by a group of snakes.

Fei Bin became more and more frightened and had no time to look back. He just ran towards the cave entrance with all his might.

"He ran away."

In the cave, Lu Nanxing smiled slightly as he watched Fei Bin fleeing.

Bang~!

With a surge of internal strength, dozens of poisonous snakes biting his body were all blown away.

"It is worthy of being the holy land of the Five Poison Sect."

Looking inward, the small wooden tripod snake image had just lit up three scales.

Lu Nanxing showed a look of joy, there is hope!

Long before going down the mountain, Lu Nanxing had planned to light up all the small wooden tripod snake pictures.

But the remaining dozen or so scales require a rare species of venomous snake.

The first thing Lu Nanxing thought of was the Five Poisons Sect.

Liu Zhengfeng was about to retire, and Lu Nanxing wanted to avoid him, but he was sent to capture Qu Yang first.

When he was besieged by Ren Yingying's men, he took the opportunity to separate from Ding Mian and others, but who would have thought that he would meet Fei Bin again.

What was even more unexpected was that Fei Bin actually wanted to kill him!
First, he didn't want to return to Songshan and join Liu Zhengfeng in his retirement, and second, he wanted to go to the Five Poison Sect to find a rare poisonous snake to light up the snake map. After some thought, Lu Nanxing proposed the Jianwen treasure.

Using treasure as bait, he drove Fei Bin to come to Yunnan with him, and with the help of Fei Bin, a first-class master, he directly broke into the Poison Dragon Cave, the holy land of the Five Poison Sect!

The so-called Poison Dragon Cave is actually full of poisonous snakes.

To ordinary people, it is like an abyss of devil's cave, but to Lu Nanxing, it is truly a rare treasure land.

“Don’t let me down.”

Everything went well. Now that Fei Bin had escaped, Lu Nanxing had no more worries and continued to walk deeper into the cave.

Poisonous snakes scattered throughout the cave kept pouncing on him, their sharp fangs piercing his flesh and injecting venom into his body.

But under the effect of the small wooden tripod, no toxins could harm Lu Nanxing.

The external injuries were a bit troublesome. Although the snake's fangs were small, he had been bitten so many times that a lot of blood was lost. Lu Nanxing had to take out some blood-replenishing and wound-healing pills and take them.

In addition, he began to make some distinctions. For some venomous snakes that had obviously bitten him, there was no need to bite them a second time. He would just use his sword to swat them away or cut them in two.

As they went deeper, more and more people were bitten by poisonous snakes, and the remaining scales of the snake image on the small wooden tripod were also lit up one by one.

"It's over."

About a quarter of an hour later, the bottom of the cave could be seen, and at this time, there were still two scales left on the snake image on the small wooden tripod that had not been lit.

Looking at the poisonous snakes he had seen all around, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but frown. It was a pity that only these last two were missing.

hiss~!

Lu Nanxing sighed and continued walking forward. Suddenly, a huge snake hung down from the ceiling of the cave in front of him. It had patterns all over its body and was more than twice as big as an ordinary poisonous snake. It looked extremely dangerous.

Although the snake was large in size, it moved as fast as the wind. Before Lu Nanxing could react, it pounced on him and bit his shoulder.

Buzz~!

A large amount of snake venom was injected and immediately absorbed by the small wooden tripod. At the same time, the last two scales of the snake image lit up instantly!

At this point, the entire snake picture has been completely lit up!
