The soldiers were horrified when they saw a gun shot through the shadow. The horse next to them also neighed with fright. The two soldiers could hardly hold it back. The leader of the soldiers was also beating a drum in his heart at this time. Usually he is a person who licks blood with the tip of a knife, and he has always scorned these ghosts and gods, but now he may have really encountered it, and he doesn't know what to do.
The leader of the soldiers thought that these people must be killed. The black shadow did not respond now, so he ignored it for the time being and killed the three of them before retreating immediately. The total in mind has been decided. He clenched the spear in his hand and motioned to several brothers to take action. The plan has been decided, take the lead and stab He Yue'er with the spear in his hand!
"Ding" Yi Xiaodao drew out the long sword from his waist and blocked the head of the gun.
When the soldier on the other side saw the opportunity coming, he raised his gun and stabbed Xiang Lian'er. To attack the enemy weakly, it seems that these soldiers have all been on the battlefield, and they cooperate in an orderly manner. Yi Xiaodao only had a long sword in his hand, so it was naturally a place that could not be protected by the first attack.
"Ding" The gun head was blocked again. Everyone looked and saw that the gun head was blocked by a long spear.
Yi Xiaodao held the sword in his right hand to protect He Yue'er on the right. He was about to kick Xiang Lian'er on the left to avoid the spear. Unexpectedly, he saw a spear coming from the sky and knocked away the spear head. He was secretly glad in his heart. , the raised foot luckily didn’t kick Xiang Lian’er.
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaodao turned around and looked, and sure enough, the humanoid black shadow behind him had disappeared. Also disappearing with it was the spear nailed to the tree.
When several soldiers saw the spear, they hurriedly looked towards the shadow. At some point, the shadow had disappeared. There was only a hole left in the tree where the spear had just been stabbed, and the gun was also gone!
Everyone looked around and found that the two soldiers watching the horses behind them fell to the ground unconscious, and a black shadow stood among the horses. The horses had changed from neighing just now to being extremely quiet now. No one pulled the reins, and the horses didn't run around. They just stood quietly next to the black shadow.
I couldn't see it clearly in the woods just now, but now the black shadow is standing on the road. Through the moonlight, I can see that the black shadow looks like a woman, vaguely like a Taoist priest, with tied hair and a crown, carrying a bag behind his back. A long sword, long and thin, as if it were used by a woman.
"Why bother with so many people bullying a few young men?" Before anyone could take a closer look, a clear female voice came from the head.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young woman, dressed in a pure white robe, with her hair tied up and a crown, and a long and thin sword behind her back, which was exactly the same as the black figure.
I saw this woman standing on a treetop, with the moonlight shining from behind her, perfectly reflecting her graceful figure. The moonlight reflected the Taoist robe, making it even more gleaming. The Taoist robe reflects the moonlight, making it even more elegant and elegant. One hand holds the Sanqing Jue in front of the chest, and the other hand holds the sword behind the back. The breeze blew by, and the belt of the clothes swayed slightly. Along with it, there was a strand of green silk spilling out of the crown. With such a posture, if there were fairies in the world, there would be no other fairies besides this one.
The woman looked down at the people below. Although her figure was slim, her movements showed a sense of solemnity. She continued: "If you want to say that these young men are some kind of gangsters, I don't believe it. If there is any misunderstanding, I'd better make it clearer." Okay. What do you think?"
The leading soldier quickly scanned the surroundings when the woman spoke out, confirming that this woman was the only one besides the black figure. But as soon as this black shadow took action, he killed the two of them silently, and he didn't know what other methods he had...
Thinking of this, the eight-foot-plus man stuck the spear in his hand on the ground and raised his hand upwards: "We are from the capital government. We are trying to capture these key criminals. Why did you stop me? I haven't asked for advice yet..."
The woman nodded and saluted: "I am a disciple of Zhenyang Sect, my Taoist name is Guan Chenzi."
The soldier was secretly frightened. He had naturally heard of the Zhenyang Sect. It was located in Zhenyang Mountain. The sect's teachings were pure in desire and did not fight with the world. According to rumors, Zhang Zongbai, the leader of Zhenyang, had the ability to shake mountains and cut off rivers. Zhenyang Mountain More than fifty years ago, the earth dragon turned over. Zhang Zongbai stopped the power of the earthquake with a palm on the spot. His cultivation was unfathomable. I didn't expect that my current disciples, with such skills at such an age, could quietly bring down the two people on my side...
The soldier continued to ask with confidence: "I heard that the leader of the Zhenyang Sect, Zhang, was named the Protector of the Country by our late emperor fifty years ago. Taoism is also the state religion of our dynasty. I don't know why he is going against our court and helping us." Aren't these little brats afraid of bringing shame to the True Sun Sect and causing trouble?"
Guan Chenzi jumped from the treetop and jumped in front of Yi Xiaodao and the others. A pure white Taoist robe flashed past Yi Xiaodao. Yi Xiaodao felt a burst of sandalwood fragrance floating by. Taking a closer look, this Taoist nun has a graceful figure, a slender neck, willow-shaped eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and a faint mole on the Yintang area. She is beautiful, but she gives people a solemn feeling. People cannot have distracting thoughts.
"These young men are only eighteen or nineteen years old. If they are said to be prisoners of the imperial court, Pindao will not believe it. It is getting late today. Tomorrow Pindao will take them to the city to find the officials to identify clearly. If they are indeed prisoners of the imperial court, The criminal, Pindao took him personally. If there was a misunderstanding, a few innocent lives would be spared. What do you think, Master Junchi?" Guan Chenzi took out the whisk from behind his clothes, held it in his arms and saluted.
"Huh? Where did you pull it out from?" Yi Xiaodao stood behind Guan Chenzi, but he still couldn't see where he pulled out such a large whisk.
"Inside the Taoist robe, there is a box for a whisk." Guan Chenzi turned around and whispered. Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly turned his head away, not knowing why he had to answer this little beggar's question.
"So, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it when I go back, so I'd better ask this Taoist priest not to meddle in other people's business." The soldier saw that the person who jumped down was only a woman in her twenties. Tighten the spear.
Guan Chenzi saw this in his eyes, pinched the secret and said: "When the military officer went back, he said that he had already got it, and it was me, Zhen Yangshan, who took it. What's wrong with such an explanation?" The black shadow on the horse also pulled out. The long sword behind him was just a black shadow. The sword was drawn out silently, and none of the soldiers noticed it.
"So, I'm offended!" The leader of the soldiers suddenly rose up. Although there was no prior discussion, the others cooperated very well. Seeing that the leader had risen up, the others followed closely. In an instant, three spears were pierced in front of their eyes.
Guan Chenzi drew his sword to block, pushing away the two spears on the right and kicking away the one on the left. Yi Xiaodao was behind him and rushed out from the left side of Guan Chenzi. He slashed his sword along the barrel of his gun, forcing the soldier to abandon his spear and roll on the spot behind his own troops. He was about to advance again, but was caught behind him. The black shadow hit the back of the head with the hilt of the sword and fainted.
When the other soldiers saw the black shadow joining them, they turned to stab the black shadow. The black shadow ignored the spear thrust and dodged behind the people, hitting them twice again, and they fell down.
The remaining four people immediately distanced themselves and retreated to the horses. The shadow did not catch up and stood quietly next to Guan Chenzi.
The leading soldier cupped his hands and said: "We in the battle formation are not good at martial arts. Now that our skills are inferior to others, we will admit defeat. I hope the Taoist Master will not break his promise and take these people to the Grand Master's Mansion in the capital. The imperial court has its own priorities. reward!"
Guan Chenzi didn't answer, but Heiying nodded and agreed.
Four people will faint and five people will help them get on the back of the horse. They will pat the horse and leave without any delay.
"Huh, I'm finally gone. I survived. It's okay." Xiang Lian'er patted her slightly bulging chest and said.
Guan Chenzi held the Jue in his hand and turned around and said, "Just because they left, it doesn't mean you are all right. Tell me, who are you?" The black shadow next to him held a sword across his chest, ready to go.
Yi Xiaodao straightened his clothes, recalled the salutes of the Taoist priests in Wancheng Taoist Hall, and gave a lame hand-over salute: "Xian... Xiangu, we are ordinary people in Wancheng, I am Yi Xiaodao, Yi Xiaodao, Yi Xiaodao pulls The knife on the butt is a little beggar, and he is the breadwinner of hundreds of families..."
Xiang Lian'er kicked Yi Xiaodao on the butt from behind him and kicked him aside: "Thank you, Taoist Master, we are the people of Wancheng. We fled here because of the disaster in Wancheng..." He kicked Kong Bao and others. How he massacred the people in Wancheng, was rescued by Magistrate Zhang, and how he escaped to this point was told one by one.
"You...what are you talking about? There have been floods in Wancheng these days? No wonder my parents haven't come back after four or five days away from home. No, I have to go to Wancheng to find my parents!" He Yue'er, who had been stunned, seemed to have heard the thunder. , couldn’t help but blurt out.
"But you can't go, Miss He. Not to mention the flood in Wancheng, Kong Bao is still in the city. There are hundreds of them! I don't know what is happening to County Magistrate Zhang now. He has probably been caught and locked up. If you go back, you will die!" Xiang Lian'er held her aside and advised her.
"That's right! If they were okay, they would have come back a long time ago. If they haven't come back yet, they must have been..." Yi Xiaodao, who got up, helped.
Hearing this, He Yue'er burst into tears and struggled hard, causing Xiang Lian'er to try hard to stop her. He turned around and cursed: "Yi Xiaodao, there's something wrong with your mind, isn't there!?"
"Am I not speaking for you?"
Seeing the three people making such a fuss, Guan Chenzi shook his head and sighed, jumped up onto the treetop, thought about it, and rushed towards Wancheng. The three people were noisy, but no one noticed Guan Chenzi. of leaving.
The four soldiers who retreated, riding on their horses, looked back at their companions and said, "Boss, how are they doing?"
The leading soldier replied: "It's nothing, she was knocked unconscious. That bitch is a monk after all, so she didn't kill her. What I'm worried about now is how to explain when I go back..."
"Just push it on that bitch. We can't do anything about that black shadow. What can we do? Where is it all?" Another soldier replied carelessly.
Before he finished speaking, Kong Bao led dozens of soldiers to come towards him. A soldier had a rope tied to his horsetail, and a person was tied to him. He was being dragged on the ground. It was the Sishiwei who had been dealing with the deputy general before. ! At this time, there was no movement from the assassination guard. It was not known whether he was dead or alive.
The deputy general on the side saw the appearance of the soldiers, and then looked at the five unconscious soldiers behind him. He was angry and annoyed. He glared at the leading soldier, then secretly glanced at Kong Bao, and lowered his head.
"Kong...Master Kong" the four of them hurriedly rolled their saddles and dismounted, "We are waiting for things to go wrong. We are about to catch those three thieves. We don't want to be rescued by a Taoist priest...Please punish me."
Kong Bao glanced at a few people and frowned: "Taoist priest? What kind of Taoist priest?"
"The Taoist priest claimed to be a disciple of the Zhenyang Sect and could summon a shadow to help her. The shadow was not afraid of swords and guns. She knocked five people unconscious. The four of us saw that they were unable to fight, so we retreated." The four of them did not dare to raise their heads. , bowed his head and replied.
"From the True Sun Sect? A dark shadow? What kind of mess?" Kong Bao started to get agitated again. "Get up. Retreating after losing more than half of the battle is not considered a deserter according to the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty. Please tell me what happened in detail." explain."
The four of them got up, and the leading soldier stepped forward and said, "Sir, we have just caught up with the three of them. Unexpectedly, a female Taoist priest appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be from the Zhenyang Sect, and there was also a black shadow. Judging from her figure and posture, , it was undoubtedly the shadow of the female Taoist priest, who took advantage of my unpreparedness and injured the third and fourth sons who were leading the horses. We and seven other people came forward, but the black shadow pierced through immediately, like cotton, even worse than cotton. It was light and felt like it was stabbed in the air. But the black shadow moved quickly and knocked out three of us. Four of us snatched five of them and rushed back to report the news."
Kong Bao's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. After a few people finished speaking, he turned around and asked, "I have been in the capital for a long time. I know the Zhenyang sect, but I know very little about the martial arts techniques of Jianghu. Who knows who this Zhenyang sect is?" Is it the technique?"
The deputy general was on the side and quickly replied: "Sir, I know. This black shadow is from Zhenyang martial arts, called 'Shadow Control'. It can control its own shadow to cooperate with itself to fight against the enemy, and the shadow is not hurt by swords and guns. , but his physical strength and physical strength are just like those of a real person. He is very difficult to deal with."
"It's just one more person. With so many people, can't we beat two people? Just ignore them if they are difficult to deal with? Wake up a few of them and let me chase them!" Kong Bao asked with a glare.
Being snatched away by Kong Bao, the lieutenant recalled that he was being teased in the house by the already assassinated guard who was dragging him behind his ponytail, and he felt very embarrassed.
"Bang"
"Yi Xiaodao? Why did you knock her unconscious?" Xiang Lian'er's hand relaxed after struggling, and when she saw Yi Xiaodao withdrew the knife, she asked in confusion.
Yi Xiaodao also learned the skill of knocking He Yue'er unconscious from Guan Chenzi's black shadow just now. He murmured to himself: "It turns out that he was hit here..."
Without saying any more words, he took He Yue'er from Xiang Lian'er's hand, bent down and carried it on his back: "There is the sound of horse hooves, hurry up. Go up the mountain. Don't take the main road. Make way for them."
