On a high-rise building facing the street.
After the old man Baishi smoked the last pot of dry tobacco, he knocked the ashes clean on the soles of his shoes and put them back around his waist.
The humidity in Jiangnan was heavy at night, and there was a dull pain between the bones. The old man rubbed his kneecaps to relieve the pain, and sighed in his heart that he was no longer the boy he was.
The most difficult thing facing the Shen family is Liu Wenzhou. Most people who shoot arrows have extraordinary eyesight and hearing. He can know where Kong Xuan, Yun Li, and Wu Jin who sneaked into Shen Mansion are. Those three are not good at attacking from a distance. The art of luring the enemy naturally falls into the trap. On the shoulders of the old Taoist Baishi.
The old Taoist Baishi boasted that he was at the peak of the realm of animal transformation, and had the ability to turn his whip into sheep. He used his flock of sheep to disturb Liu Wenzhou, leaving him no time to care about others and unable to do anything else. Unexpectedly, Jun Bubai was killed halfway. The old Taoist weighed the monsters protecting the calf behind Jun Bubai. Looking at the entire world, he still had to give in.
The veteran has suffered losses before, and he doesn't want to get into trouble. But there can't be any mistakes in the matter of Chang'an. I weighed the left and right for a while, came up with a solution that has both sides, and bit the bullet and made a few sarcastic remarks boldly.
There are two meanings hidden in the words. One is to point out that the two of them are not good at academics as seniors in the world, and the other is to secretly satirize their own elders for not teaching diligently. This young man is young and full of blood, and he will mistakenly think that he is insulting his elders, and his life and death are at stake. In order to save his life, he uses force against the two people. Even if an elder comes to explain in the future, he will have another set of excuses, and he will not be wronged.
Liu Wenzhou's arrow shot from the sky was scattered by the sheep whip.
Jun Bubai's ten-foot-long sword annihilated the sheep.
Seeing that the two fell into the trap, Old Taoist Baishi smiled proudly, grasped the sheep whip, flew down the eaves, and landed at the main entrance of Shen Mansion.
Most of those who were guarding the courtyard outside Shen's Mansion were knocked unconscious when the sheep rushed into Shen's Mansion for the first time.
At this time, it was still in a deserted place. The old Taoist Baishi stepped into the front yard confidently. The sheep whip was swung, and the bluestones under his feet swelled, turning into countless white sheep. The sheep gathered. The old Taoist reached out to pick up a lamb and caressed the soft lamb. The wool, the cold air at night is also dissipated a lot by the wool.
Lao Daobao was admitted to the hospital without any white stones around him. The entry of those three people into the mansion also made Jun Bubai unable to guess who was taking care of Shen Qinglan.
Liu Wenzhou on the side lowered his arms and removed half of his strength. His father, Liu Xunshan, had passed away. He had only learned the superficial skills of the Liu family's Heavenly Arrow, but had never seen its true appearance. He lost to Jun Bubai in the middle of the night. First, his junior sister fell asleep. It's not easy to show off your skills; secondly, you're not familiar with the arrows from the sky, so you lose one and a half moves.
Now facing the old Taoist Baishi, he didn't know the chance of winning, and he didn't want his junior sister to be involved in danger. He turned to look at Jun Bubai and said, "How about you and I work together to stop him? After that, the Shen family's one thousand taels will be equal to yours." point?"
The little girl who was quenching poisonous arrows at the side became furious when she heard that her senior brother wanted to share a thousand taels of gold with others. She turned her crossbow to Jun Bubai, pouted and shouted: "Why should I give him half? That is my life-earning money." .”
Jun Bubai just wanted to find where Shen Qinglan was. He swept away the old man Baishi who was gathering wool in the courtyard and said calmly: "I'm not interested in the money. If you tell him who among the four is carrying a white stone, I will help you." this time."
When the little girl heard that there was no money, she turned away and smiled miserably, squatting on the ridge of the roof, then took a short arrow from the quiver to quench the poison.
Liu Wenzhou closed his eyes and dismissed the noise. The sound of wind swirled into his ears, and the sound of flowers blooming thousands of miles away was heard. In a moment, he could identify where Shen Qinglan was.
Opening his eyes again, he took out a long bow and shot an arrow towards the north. The long arrow broke the moonlight, stirred up the sea of flowers in the back garden, and nailed it into a pool of mud. A hole was exposed in the mud, and a fish with no tail fin was struggling beside the hole.
Liu Wenzhou dispersed his bow and arrows and said calmly: "The woman went into the ground with a white stone in her arms."
Jun Bubai's eyes followed the long arrow and fell into the back garden of the Shen family. The entrance to the underground cave of the Shen family was so secret that the woman named Yunli from Chang'an could also know about it, unless it was investigated in advance or there was a tip from a ghost in the Shen family. , or it may be that Bai Xiaosheng leaked it deliberately to attract people from Chang'an into the chess game.
There is Shuangyue in the underground cave in the form of Shen Qinglan. Bai Xiaosheng is so convinced by her that she naturally has some secret ways to hide her secrets. The woman named Yunli in Chang'an was injured at the hands of Ye Xianzi and has not recovered yet. She is definitely Shen Qinglan doesn't need to worry too much since he won't get much benefit.
Jun Bubai withdrew his gaze, held the sword in his left palm, and said cheerfully: "How can I help you!"
Liu Wenzhou took up his bow, with the string as bright as the full moon. "I promised the head of the Shen family that I would drag a stick of incense. That old Taoist relies most on the sheep whip in his hand. If you can break through the old man's body by one foot, I will be sure to take the sheep whip." Shoot down.”
Jun Bubai drew his sword in the air, dozens of long swords stood up against the light, and gestured: "How sure are you of shooting down the old Taoist's sheep whip?"
Liu Wenzhou's expression did not change and he said in a deep voice: "One percent."
Jun Bubai laughed loudly and said: "10% is enough!"
In the front yard of Shen's house, there is a figure in white clothes flying in the sky, with a long sword covering the moon. As the night falls, the sword wind blows the moonlight all over the yard. The sheep bleat without stopping, turning into countless gravels. In the front yard of Shen's house, there is a solid yellow mud foundation under the bluestone. It also blew out shallow pits in the sword wind.
In the sword wind, Jun Bubai fell into the courtyard. The sword intention circulated and covered the whole body. A ten-foot sword intention emerged from his left hand, as thin as a silver needle.
One foot for one foot.
Old Taoist Baishi held up the lamb with one hand and raised his whip. Within one foot, he is invincible. As long as the sheep whip falls to the ground, the sheep will grow again.
Jun Bubai's sword intent was approaching, and the sheep whip was caught in the sword intent. Above the eaves, Liu Wenzhou shot an arrow out of the sky.
In the courtyard, arrows shadowed and swords flashed.
Old Taoist Baishi didn't panic, flipped his wrist, used the sheep whip to dodge the sword's intention, uprooted a long sword that Jun Bubai had called out on the ground, and threw it towards the eaves. The long sword turned into a white sheep in the air with ferocious horns.
Jun Bubai hooked his sword back, trying to call the long sword back, but the long sword, which had transformed into an Aries, was beyond his control. Worried that the old man would roll up other swords, his sleeves would flutter, and the other swords would turn into nothingness.
Liu Wenzhou's arrow from the sky distracted the old Taoist Baishi, and he whittled away the flying arrow. While Old Taoist Baishi was distracted, Jun Bubai's sword had penetrated a foot in front of him. Before the old man could hide, the lamb released beside his feet jumped up high and hit the knife.
The sword's intention deviated by a few inches, giving the old Tao a chance to breathe. The sheep's whip fell to the ground, and several white sheep grew out of the yellow mud foundation blown away by the sword wind.
Aries bleated and bumped towards Jun Bubai.
Junbu Bai returned to defense with his saber intent, and cut down several white sheep with a generous surge. The old Taoist sheep whip has returned to within an inch of itself.
On the eaves, the white sheep jumped onto the ridge and trampled on several green tiles. Aries are a creature of the mountains. In winter, they eat fresh and tender weeds in the crevices of the mountains and climb up steep cliffs. The eaves of this roof are as stable as the ground.
"Junior sister, I'll leave this sheep to you." Liu Wenzhou escaped with his quick skills and landed on another eaves. He drew his bow and arrow, filled the sky with an arrow, and shot it into the courtyard.
"I'll settle the score with you later." The little girl on the ridge clenched her fists in protest and fired three crossbows in succession. The crossbows were poisonous and grazed Aries' body. The poison had not penetrated Tai's body, but Aries was angry, raised his front hooves, and bumped into the little girl.
The little girl was petite in stature and scurried under the Aries. She had been hunting in the mountains for many years and the belly of the beast was the weakest. She shot three arrows into the heart of the Aries. The poison entered the bone marrow and spread very quickly. While gasping for breath, the white sheep foamed at the mouth, fell to his knees on all four hooves, and turned into a rusty long sword. The little girl raised her foot and kicked the rusty sword into the courtyard.
Jun Bubai used his old skills again, with a ten-foot-long sword close to his body. Liu Wenzhou's second sword shot followed closely.
There were no more lambs at the feet of the old Taoist Baishi. This time he whipped his whip to repel Jun Bubai first, and then turned around and knocked down Liu Wenzhou's arrow from the sky.
The rusty sword kicked off by the little girl fell into the courtyard with a muffled sound. Jun Bubai drew back his sword finger, and the rusty sword flew towards the ground.
Old Taoist Baishi's eyes were dim and he did not notice the rusty sword.
The sheep whip defeated Jun Bubai's one-foot-long sword intent, and he was about to turn around and hit Liu Wenzhou's arrow from the sky. Jun Bubai smiled evilly, lowered his head, and a rusty sword flew out from behind his neck, stabbing at the front door of Baishi Old Taoist Temple.
"You kid, you're playing dirty tricks!" Old Taoist Baishi angrily scolded. He used Qinggong to move back, circled his wrists, drew a few arcs, quickly withdrew the sheep whip and returned to defense. As long as the sheep whip touched the rusty sword, it would turn into a sheep. The technique can be performed.
Old Taoist Baishi took a few steps back. Liu Wenzhou's arrow from the sky missed the target. Jun Bubai took out his sword and tried to strike forward. On the eaves, Liu Wenzhou's third arrow had been shot. An extremely ordinary arrow hit the stray arrow and reoriented the second arrow.
The rusty sword is in front, followed by an arrow from the sky, and Jun Bubai's sword intention ends.
Old Taoist Baishi pulled back the sheep whip and wrapped it around the rusty sword. The art of transforming into a sheep failed. As he gasped, the tip of the rusty sword reached the joint of the wooden handle of the sheep whip. Old Taoist Baishi was forced back a few steps by the sword energy, his beard trembling. On the steps of the main entrance of Shen's Mansion, there was a unconscious guard who was guarding the courtyard. Old Taoist Baishi kicked out the two people nearby. With a sweep of his sheep's whip, the two of them turned into white sheep. One head hit the rusty sword, and the other met an arrow from the sky.
It would be shameless for Jun Bubai to use others to block the sword. He would throw away his sleeves and let the rusty sword fall apart.
Liu Wenzhou's fourth arrow had already been shot, knocking an arrow from the sky into the night sky.
Old Taoist Baishi exited Shen's Mansion, took back his sheep whip, whistled with both fingers, and the two ownerless white sheep turned around and ran outside the mansion, fell to the ground on the steps, and transformed into their original appearance.
"Don't fight. Wherever your kid wants to go, the old man won't stop me. I have to take a break."
After moving his muscles and bones, his whole body ached, the old Taoist Baishi swept the floor with a sheep whip, and the bluestone grew into a lamb. The old Taoist sat cross-legged, beckoning the lamb to jump into his arms to warm himself, took off the brass smoke pot from his waist, filled it with shredded tobacco, and lit it with a flint. , took a deep breath, and smoke filled his mouth.
Liu Wenzhou put away his long bow, stood on the eaves with the wind at the corner of his clothes. Junior sister had jumped from the eaves on the side, punching and kicking him.
Jun Bubai dispersed his sword intention, walked lightly and stood at the gate of the mansion. The man guarding the courtyard on the steps fainted. If Old Taoist Baishi used others to block his sword, it would definitely end badly. Jun Bubai said unceremoniously: "Using others to block your sword, this is how seniors walk in the world."
The old Taoist choked on the dry smoke, coughed a few times, breathed calmly, closed one eye, and said calmly: As an old man, he cherishes his life very much. If he is not careful, he will die in a foreign country. How many more years does this old man still want to live? "
Jun Bubai walked down the steps and stopped a few feet in front of Old Taoist Baishi.
The old Taoist just smoked and put the sheep whip aside. He took out a piece of yellowed talisman paper from his sheepskin coat and threw it to Jun Bubai. "Don't leave. The old man's affairs have been taken care of. This old man of Shen Mansion will not come back again." Come on, wherever you want to go, the old man won't stop you. Also, this is the talisman that unlocks the art of transforming into a sheep. I give it to you."
How could the old Taoist Baishi be so kind? Jun Bubai was half-believing and doubting it. He pulled the talisman paper with the imperial weapon. The red cinnabar on the yellow paper looked like a ghost drawing a talisman. He asked in confusion: "Why did you give it to me?"
Old Taoist Baishi raised his head, blew out a round smoke ring into the night sky, and said leisurely: "I have been entrusted by someone to ensure that the real daughter of the Shen family can go to Chang'an."
