Lu Cishan stood behind the armored man with a scimitar in his hand. He had been there since he shot the feather arrow, but the man didn't notice it at all.
When the man in armor turned around, he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist, wanting to have a face-to-face confrontation with the man behind him. However, Lu Cishan didn't give him a chance at all. The figure of the man in white robe in front of him began to become illusory, and he moved forward with the sword. The swing failed to hit the real thing. When he saw Lu Cishan's figure clearly again, the white-robed figure picked up the scimitar that had been beside him just now.
Lu Cishan wielded two swords and began to hold them out to the man in armor. Lu Cishan's technique of wielding the swords was extremely mysterious. The two swords struck in different directions, but the blades overlapped immediately after swiping and were handed out to the man in armor. It was difficult to defeat the enemy with a single sword, so he shouted suddenly and ignored Lu Cishan's knife strike under his left shoulder, letting his scimitar embed directly into his flesh and blood.
At the cost of the injury to his left shoulder, he got a chance to get closer to Lu Cishan. He suddenly raised the knife in his right hand and smashed it towards Lu Cishan's face. But this time it was still the same as before. Lu Cishan was in front of him. It started to become unreal again, and his sword failed, but the scimitar on his left shoulder was still there...
After the armored man drew his sword twice, he seemed to confirm something and shouted to the empty surroundings: "Who are you! Will you make Huangli...".
But before he could finish speaking, Lu Cishan's figure appeared again, this time behind him. Before he could use his sword to block it, the scimitar swiped across the armored man's ankle, and with one strike, the iron armor of his combat boots was gone. It cracked, the hamstrings of both feet were picked, and the armored man fell forward.
He stabbed the Pu Dao straight into the ground with his right hand, and then used the force to turn around so that he would not be unable to fight back after falling to the ground. When he turned around and looked behind, he thought Lu Cishan would use the knife again. , tried to strangle himself, but saw the man in white robe walking from his left side, pulling out the scimitar that was originally buried in his left shoulder, and then swung the knife at him again, this time severing the tendon of the armored man's right hand.
Because there was no strength in his hand, the Pu Dao slipped from the palm of his hand and fell to the side of the armored man. He already knew in his heart that the man in front of him, who was dressed exactly like Lu Fengbai, not only had similar sword skills, but also had the same temperament. He was planning to do this. Capture yourself alive, and then ask some useful things from your own mouth.
"My knowledge of swordsmanship is average, and my ability in torture and interrogation, you little boy and that Lu Fengbai are really good at old general Lu's true biography. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" The man in armor had no power to resist, so he could only lie on the ground and laugh loudly.
Lu Cishan had no expression on his face, and after planning to completely destroy his remaining arm, he went down the mountain to meet everyone at Yijian Villa. Just as he was raising the knife, the man in armor was laughing wildly, and he actually bit it off directly. His tongue caught Lu Cishan off guard. This person had planned to commit suicide first.
As the armored man bit off his tongue, blood gushed out from his mouth and nose like a cold spring. His face was still laughing like before, which made the blood flow from his mouth uncontrollably. Even though no human voice could be heard, it still seemed that he was laughing crazily.
...
With the addition of Lu Fengbai, the originally sluggish battle situation at the entrance of Yangbazi was instantly reversed. He could not help but save Lin Manliu, who was almost hit by surprise, and also saved other disciples from the danger of being attacked by bandits. After Lu Fengbai used his sword several times, he took over the command of the boy in a short shirt and began to lead the people of Yijian Villa to kill the bandits who entered Yangbazi one by one. It didn't take long before the number of casualties among the bandits began to increase. , and the side of Yijian Villa began to fight more and more bravely.
"Man Liu, Chong Ying, you two guard the southeast and southwest sides. The other disciples will guard the entrance with me. Those who sneaked into the dam before will be dealt with by Xiao Xiao and the disciples who returned. There is no need to worry about the back." Lu Fengbai was alone. Standing at the entrance of the goat dam with a knife, he shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Everyone in Yijian Villa responded in unison.
"Get up!" Lu Fengbai shouted lightly.
The disciples behind him began to find their own positions, waiting for the bandits to rush in. From then on, until the war came to an end, none of the bandits entered the Yangbazi again.
Xiao Xiao and everyone in the Bazi have all dispersed to protect the villagers in the Bazi. Occasionally they encounter bandits, and everyone first uses weapons to fight against the enemy, then distances themselves from the person and then peeks from behind. The Eight Phases appeared in the hand, and the buckle was pulled accordingly, and a wooden chopstick was shot into the bodies of the bandits. Some of the bandits who were shot in vital parts were killed on the spot.
Two bandits entered the ancestral hall. They slowly opened the door and walked inside. They saw only some chopped-down fragments of tables and chairs, and nothing else. Just when the two of them confirmed whether At this moment, the villagers suddenly shouted five times in unison, aiming at the two bandits from around the ancestral hall. "Whoosh, whoosh!" Five arrows made of wooden chopsticks instantly penetrated the bodies of the two bandits. The wooden chopsticks were nailed straight into the stone slabs on the ground, glowing with blood.
The sound of horse hooves coming from the northwest gradually reached the well in the middle of Bazi Village. The person walking at the front was Mo Zhi. Ever since Zhou Zhou heard the sound of horse hooves, he had been waiting here for a long time and fought with Mo Zhi. After meeting each other, both of them nodded. Zhou Zhou picked up the long knife and rushed towards Xiao Xiao's area, preparing to participate in killing the bandits who broke into the village.
Mo Zhi led more people to the southern entrance to assist Lu Fengbai, Lin Manliu and others. The battle situation at the entrance of Shanye Bazi, which was originally in danger, began to take on a different shape after the subsequent reinforcements arrived. In a one-sided trend, some bandits saw that they were no match for the people in Yijian Villa and began to flee in all directions. Some wanted to run up the mountain, and there was a general there who they thought could easily control everyone present.
But the bandits who were trying to escape to the mountain saw that there was no longer a general wearing a sun-soldier armor at the top of the mountain. Instead, there was a man in white robes, very similar to the man who had just charged and killed everyone in the formation. Similarly, unable to see the man's face clearly in the dark night, some of the panicked bandits began to scream that the man was a ghost! Then he immediately turned around and walked down the mountain again, but looking at the entrance of the dam, the man in white robe was still standing there.
The bandits, who were already tense, had lost their way to escape in such self-fright. Looking at the fellow travelers who had been killed at the foot of the mountain and the white ghosts slowly walking down the mountain, the bandits began to use their legs continuously. The ground was shaking, and the weapons in his hands were almost unsteady.
The heart is broken, and under such pressure, the gangster spirit often starts to appear, waving the long knife in the hand randomly, some slashing into the empty space, some slashing at the people walking together, and in an instant they become a mess. , in order to survive, some people began to strangle all the bandits around them, and then began to kneel down and beg for mercy to the figure slowly walking down the mountain, telling about their own "forced helplessness".
When Lu Cishan passed by the crowd, he did not reply with a single word. He just waved the scimitar in his hand several times. All the bandits who tried to run to the mountain bag were killed by Lu Cishan on the spot.
At this point, the entire night attack on Goat Bazi has been basically completed. Although no one fell down at Yijian Villa, there were many disabled people. The most people were fighting at the entrance. Only Lin Manliu, Lu Fengbai, and Lu were left at the entrance. Cishan and the others, led by Chongying and Mozhi, helped the injured back to the ancestral hall to rest and heal.
"When we were discussing in the evening, we noticed that there was someone lurking nearby. We set up an ambush here today, intending to draw out the mastermind behind the scenes." Lu Fengbai was the first to speak up.
"The person in charge today is a Yanyang soldier. I don't recognize him," Lu Cishan said.
As soon as he said this, Lu Fengbai fell silent. The thing he least wanted to believe happened, soldiers and bandits helped each other... Lu Fengbai had no intention of continuing, so Lu Cishan told what he saw and heard on the top of the mountain. After telling them all, it turned out that when the bandits gathered on the top of the mountain, Lu Cishan was among them.
Whether it was the encouragement between the man in armor and the bandit, or the conversation between Old Li Tou and the man in armor, or the inexplicable monologue of the man in armor, these all reappeared in front of the three of them in Lu Cishan's narration.
"With that said, some things make sense... If there are some small and medium-sized robberies and rescues, they are all self-directed and staged between these soldiers and bandits, but their purpose is not only to rob Robbery to gain wealth? That man's strange words before his death don't sound like someone who is greedy for money," Lin Manliu said.
"Indeed, if that person just knew that he could not escape and was afraid that we would torture him later, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide, there would be no need for him to say these words before we even confronted him." Lu Cishan nodded, which made the young man Somewhat surprised, this was the first time Lu Cishan agreed with her point of view.
Lu Fengbai didn't seem to want to delve into the deeper meaning, so he coughed and said, "We will discuss this later. I also have something to do. You two can come with me." After saying this, he whistled towards Chun Bazi, and after a while There was a horse rushing from the goat dam, no one was riding it, it was Lu Fengbai's own horse.
There seemed to be something behind the horse. The sky was still a little dark. The young man and Lu Cishan looked closely. There seemed to be a person tied to the horse's back, a young man about the same size as Lin Manliu. Lin Manliu took a closer look. Isn't it the Zhou Mo who visited the Starry Temple?
Zhou Mo, who was tied up on the horse, was looking around, at a loss. When he turned to look at Lin Manliu, Lu Fengbai, and Lu Cishan, his face was happy at first, and then he started to look like he had eaten yellow lotus. , and soon became sad.
When the horse approached Lu Fengbai, he caught Zhou Mo, patted the horse's belly, and then the horse walked back to the goat dam. Lu Fengbai easily untied the rope.
"Taoist Master Zhouxiao, it's our first time to meet each other, so we're a little disappointed." Lu Fengbai imitated him and said, "Taoist Master Zhou Xiao."
Zhou Mo rolled his eyes at first, and secretly cursed in his heart, "Caught me directly when we first met?" Then he could only give Lu Fengbai a slap in the face.
"Master Lu, now you will know that what Xiaodao said is true," Zhou Mo said.
"What Taoist Master Zhouxiao said is indeed effective," Lu Fengbai said.
"Let me introduce Xiaodao again. Xiaodao's name is Shuang Jue. He is a disciple of Star Viewer. He has a certain understanding of the method of deduction. Master Lin also knows the mystery of my deduction." Although Zhou Mo didn't have a whisk or a sword in his hand, he still They were still making gestures on their wrists. This scene made the three of them look a little funny.
Later, under Lu Fengbai's introduction, they learned about the second group of disciples who were going forward. After meeting the first group of disciples twenty miles away, they learned that Lu Cishan had confirmed the location of the bandits, and everyone discussed the time to return. Yes, it was at this moment that I suddenly met this little Taoist priest walking in the mountains.
Lu Fengbai was the first to guess his identity and ordered someone to tie him up. But Zhou Mo shouted at that time that if he didn't rush to help quickly, all the remaining disciples would die, and Lin Manliu would be the first to suffer. As soon as these words came out, Lu Fengbai took him back to Goat Bazi and rushed to the south entrance immediately after entering Bazi, also because of these words.
"Although the village owner and the disciples in the village won this battle very smoothly, the damage was not small," Zhou Mo said after Lu Fengbai and the two explained the reasons for the rescue.
"Indeed, it's true. Master Zhou Xiaodao has said this. If you have any good ideas, can you tell me?" Lu Fengbai asked, cupping his hands.
"Now that everyone is injured, if we continue to go to the stronghold where they are entrenched, I'm afraid there won't be one out of ten. Let's rest for a while and inform the owner of the village after the trail has been settled." Zhou Mo slapped another Taoist sect leader and returned the courtesy to Lu Fengbai.
"After that, we need to trouble the little Taoist priest to stay in the dam for a little longer," Lu Fengbai said.
During the conversation between the two people, Lu Cishan was just beside him as if he didn't hear the conversation at all, while Lin Manliu had an indescribable tangle with the young Taoist priest in front of him, because he felt that, Even if this person makes friendly suggestions to some people, it is not out of his kindness.
The four of them then returned to Goat Damzi together. On the top of the mountain in the distance, a ray of sun began to rise. It was a fierce battle all night. On the road, from time to time there were disciples of Yijian Villa who were cleaning up the corpses in the village and at the entrance. When they saw Lu Fengbai and the four of them, After calling out to the owner of the village, Lu Fengbai raised his hand and pressed down, indicating that they should continue working.
A group of disciples, led by Xiao Xiao and Zhou Zhou, went to the door one by one to check whether there were any signs of suspected bandits hiding. They also comforted the villagers and told them not to go out for the time being. Everyone in Yijian Villa would keep this place secret. Clean it up.
