Xiaolin Town is located northeast of Maplewood City, and is separated from Maplewood City by Qingshan Town. In terms of straight-line distance, it is the farthest town from the main city in Maple Forest City.
Led by Wei Yan, the group crossed Qingshan Town without stopping and arrived outside Xiaolin Town in only half a day.
There are no green mountains outside Qingshan Town, and the name of this place is unknown how many years ago it was passed down, or it may have existed before, but it has changed over time.
However, there is indeed a cypress forest outside Xiaolin Town, but it is very small and can be seen at a glance. Moon cypress has a soothing effect, and furniture made of moon cypress wood is very popular.
It is said that the forest was very large back then, but because the moon cypress trees were extremely valuable and many townspeople cut them down illegally, the moon cypress trees became smaller and smaller this year. If Maplewood City hadn't issued a special order prohibiting illegal logging, this small forest would have died out a few years ago.
The detectives transferred from Qingshan Town were stationed in the forest, sitting or lying down, quite casually. After hearing the sound of horse hooves, they gathered together to greet them.
These detectives are just ordinary force. Of course, they dare not enter the town to investigate under the current circumstances. They only serve as an observation and warning.
Wei Yan stood outside the forest, glanced at these people casually, and asked, "How is the situation in Xiaolin Town?"
The leader of the team in Qingshan Town was a broad-faced man in his forties. Hearing the voice, he replied: "It started to fog outside Xiaolin Town five days ago. We didn't pay much attention to it at the time and just thought it was a change in the weather. .At that time, we could still see the outline of Xiaolin Town and the vague figures of people. There were still people from Qingshan Town visiting relatives. We received orders yesterday to set up checkpoints here and observe, but we didn’t see anyone coming out. The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and now I can’t see anything clearly.”
Jiang Wang looked up at Xiaolin Town among the Taoist disciples. Maplewood City was the hometown where he was born and raised. Although he grew up in Fengxi Town, he was no stranger to Xiaolin Town.
The Xishan bandits he once defeated with his single sword were entrenched in Xishan, ten miles north of Xiaolin Town.
In the past, Xiaolin Town could be seen from Yue Bolin. The town was not wealthy, but peaceful and peaceful. Looking now, there is only a fog.
At this time, Wei Yan's voice sounded: "I asked you to observe Xiaolin Town here, but you are undisciplined. What's more, you took the opportunity to steal and cut down the moon cypress trees. Are you here for business or for personal gain?"
All the police officers in Qingshan Town were already pale, and the leading police officer was bowing his head again and again, trying to explain something.
But Wei Yan's decision has already been made: "The felled cypress trees will be sent to the city guard camp. In addition, everyone will have their salary deducted for one year. The head catcher has the responsibility of leadership and will be dismissed!"
The broad-faced man looked ashen, but he didn't even dare to protest and just retreated sadly.
After hearing Wei Yan's treatment, Jiang Wang noticed the felled moon cypress trees.
And Wei Yan had already taken everything in sight the first time he arrived.
Jiang Wang sighed at Wei Yan's keenness, but also felt that this man was really harsh.
Xiaolin Town fell, and this piece of Yulinlin was temporarily without an owner. These are just the police officers risking their lives to set up card observations in Xiaolin Town, and chop down a few trees to subsidize themselves. Although they are derelict in their duties, they are actually understandable things.
Qingshan Town is not wealthy, and a year's salary means that the life of these agents will suddenly become difficult. Especially for this middle-aged man in his forties, catching a head may have been the culmination of his life's struggle. And with one word from Wei Yan, he was back to where he started.
However, this trip was almost like a march, and Wei Yan led the team like a commander-in-chief. His orders are military orders and no one can disobey them.
After Wei Yan finished handling the matter, he pulled the reins and took the lead in galloping toward Xiaolin Town.
The horses are all war horses from the military camp, and the knights are all monks from the Taoist monastery. Although there are only more than thirty people, they carry out orders and move like lightning, and they have the momentum of thousands of troops.
The horse's hooves rolled across the ground like thunder, but stopped suddenly!
Those battle-hardened horses raised their hooves and neighed in front of the fog that shrouded the entire Xiaolin Town. No matter how much the knight urged, they refused to go any further.
More than thirty war horses were frightened and neighed in unison. It seems that there is something in Xiaolin Town that scares them the most. This scene is terrifying.
Even though due to the strength of the knights, there was no joke about the horse falling before the battle, their morale has plummeted and they are no longer as high-spirited as they were when they first left the city.
Even Wang Changxiang, who had always been calm and calm, had serious eyes.
Only Wei Yan's expression did not change.
The armor on his body was mostly mottled. There is a sword on the waist, which is long, narrow and straight. There is a tall and majestic war horse under his crotch.
Everyone knew at that time that Wei Yan had three loves.
But he suddenly drew his sword!
As if a bolt of lightning flashed out of thin air, the light of the sword disappeared. As for the horse under his crotch, the neighing stopped, and the huge horse's head fell away from the body, and was spurted out for a distance by the column of blood gushing out from its neck.
The horse corpse fell to the ground with a crash.
Wei Yan pressed the knife and looked at the small town in the fog, but his voice was cold: "You are timid in the face of battle, why should I keep you?"
"Okay!" The first one to respond was Du Yehu. He was fierce by nature and liked to go straight. He immediately punched the horse's head and smashed it into pieces. "Wei, what are we going to do next?"
Wei Yan raised his right hand slightly, "Listen to my order, dismount and prepare for battle, form an arrow formation, use me as an arrow, and go straight into Xiaolin Town!"
Wei Yan's killing of the horse had made everyone realize that there was no way to retreat. At this time, there was no room for hesitation, and they all dismounted.
Wei Yan said again: "Raise the troops!"
There was a sound of sharp blades coming out of their sheaths!
At this time, Wei Yan's ordinary-looking adjutant stood up. He raised his right palm upwards, made a hand seal with his left hand, muttered something in his mouth, and finally said: "Feng Rui!"
Jiang Wang felt that the long sword in his hand was suddenly sharp. This sword could only be said to be a fine one. At this time, he almost had the illusion that it was indestructible.
"With flames!"
All the weapons were set in flames! The monks held up their swords like torches, trying to illuminate the foggy town in front of them.
"solid!"
Ling He felt his body become tougher, and he felt full as if he wanted to fight with his fists. But he just glanced at the angry Du Yehu next to him and quietly erased this illusion.
What Zhao Rucheng thought was that the group enhancement technique was at least a C-grade high-level technique. However, Wei Yan, an unattractive lieutenant, actually fired three times in a row without changing his expression. As expected, the Ministry of War had hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
No matter what everyone thinks, there can only be one will when marching. With the blessing of Taoism, Wei Yan took the lead in stepping into Xiaolin Town with his sword in hand.
Everyone walked and observed, the town was so silent that only their footsteps could be heard.
After walking for a while, the fog seemed to get thicker and thicker.
The fog was so thick that it was almost as if the person was invisible even three steps away. Only the firelight on the weapon could be seen, standing stubbornly in the seemingly endless thick fog.
Having no choice but to shrink the array again, the distance between everyone changed from five steps to three steps. Any closer will affect the battle.
The Jiang Wang brothers were at the back of the team. They were at the lowest level and were protected by default. There was no need to avoid this, and it was also a fine tradition of the Taoist Academy.
Du Yehu clenched his fists. He was not nervous, but excited and eager to try.
Jiang Wang had no doubt that he would dare to punch without saying a word, even if the nine demons whose murderous reputations were spread all over the world were in front of him. Of course, whether we can beat him or not is a different matter.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the outside of the formation, "What is that?!"
Another voice said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a ghost, what's there to be afraid of?"
But he soon became shocked: "So many?!"
Hearing the sound, Wei Yan suddenly turned his head and slashed with his sword!
The huge sword light shot out across the sky, cutting away the thick fog around it for an instant!
And at this moment, everyone has seen the densely packed wandering souls stumbling and baring their claws on the entire street!
The sky is blue and the sun is bright, and a hundred ghosts are walking around in the day!
