Yi Xiaodao helped Si Wangnan to the back window, took the "Siqing" in Si Wangnan's hand, and slashed it towards the back window. "Siqing" cut iron like clay and removed the window effortlessly without making much noise.
"Senior Si, hold on." Yi Xiaodao helped Si Wangnan climb out of the window, jumped out himself, quietly came to the corner of the house, and observed the movement in front of the bamboo house.
"Thicker than the Earth" walked to the bamboo house and wanted to push the door open, but hesitated: "Sir Sword Immortal... you have trapped us for ten years, but we respect you... we will not kill you when you come out."
At this time, the situation was most suitable to intimidate the room with sound, but Si Wangnan looked so weak that if he really opened his mouth to speak, he was afraid that the other party would find out the truth and rush in faster. When Yi Xiaodao thought of this, he missed He Yue'er who was good at ventriloquism even more. If she was here, he wouldn't dare to say anything else. At least it wouldn't be difficult to scare these Japanese people for a while.
Yi Xiaodao looked at Si Wangnan, his heart moved, and whispered quietly into Si Wangnan's ear, and Si Wangnan nodded weakly.
"Lord Sword Immortal..." "Thicker than the Earth" has an impatient personality and can't wait any longer. He is about to push the door open when he hears Si Wangnan's weak voice coming from the house: "You are ambitious and want to dominate." Ling Zhongtu is ridiculous! Si Mou has protected the Central Plains for ten years and has no regrets. Even if he sets himself on fire today, he will never fall into the hands of you and Xiaoxiao!"
"Thicker than the Earth" heard these words, and while hesitating, he saw that the fire had already appeared in the house, and it was obviously burning.
"Sir Sword Immortal... Although I hate you, I admire you!" Seeing the fire light up, "Thicker than the Earth" retreated to the edge of the bamboo forest and knelt down on the ground. The rest of the Japanese people also put down their swords and knelt on the ground with "Bidihou", quietly waiting for the fire to burn.
Yi Xiaodao supported Si Wangnan and had already left the bamboo forest from behind the house and rushed towards the temporary port.
"What Senior Si said is true. When Three Inch Nails heard that his brother had been killed, he was furious. Then he heard that Senior had intended to self-immolate, and he admired him again. He has a capricious temperament and is really a villain." Yi Xiaodao just wanted to try it, but he didn't. It's hard to imagine that these Eastern Japanese people are really as eccentric as Si Wangnan said.
A smile appeared on Si Wangnan's lips: "It's just Mu Qiang. It doesn't matter if I die, this dragon energy needs to be sent back to the Middle Earth, otherwise Daqi's power will decline and he will be bullied by these thieves!"
The two came to the temporary port and picked the smallest boat, which could only accommodate five or six people. There was still some food and water, which was enough for the two of them.
Yi Xiaodao was about to help Si Wangnan get off the boat. Si Wangnan broke away from Yi Xiaodao, picked up his sword and entered the boat calmly, as if he was not the one who was weak behind the bamboo house just now.
"I want to save face." Yi Xiaodao felt funny in his heart. Just when he was about to untie the rope tied to the shore, a strong wind hit him from behind his head.
Yi Xiaodao ducked past him and looked back from his crotch. He was tall and dressed like a Central Plains man. He was holding a machete in his hand. It was he who had just attacked Yi Xiaodao from behind.
"Who are you!" Yi Xiaodao quickly turned around and stood up, looking at the visitor warily.
"Dog officer! You no longer recognize me so quickly!" the visitor said viciously.
Yi Xiaodao looked up and down. He was unkempt and smelled dirty. At first glance, he looked even sloppier than a beggar. But upon closer inspection...Chen Youcai?
"Chen Youcai? You're not in Lincheng...why are you here?" Yi Xiaodao asked in shock.
Chen Youcai said viciously: "It's all thanks to you! Han Shi came to the military camp, you want to hand me over to him, right? There is no good dog officer! When the Eastern Japanese army comes, I will kill you all! Kill them all. All dog officers!”
When Yi Xiaodao heard "Eastern Japanese Army", his heart skipped a beat, but he still calmly said with a mocking smile: "Eastern Japanese Army? Those hundred or so dwarfs? It's ridiculous."
Chen Youcai smiled evilly and said: "Huh, you don't know, right? The Eastern Japanese army has sent fifty thousand troops and they are on their way! As soon as the Eastern Japanese army arrives, I will lead them into Daqi and kill you dog officials. Kill them all!"
"You're here as soon as you say it? You're talking nonsense and you're talking nonsense... How can I be frightened by you?" Yi Xiaodao remembered his identity and put on airs mid-sentence.
"In one month at most, the 50,000-strong army is about to attack! By then none of you can escape. I'll kill you, the dog-guy, first!" Chen Youcai yelled and slashed with his sword.
Yi Xiaodao dodged repeatedly, not because he was afraid of him, but because he was frightened. It had only been half a month since Chen Youcai escaped from the military camp. How he ended up on the island was unknown, not to mention. He was covered in dirt and it was hard to identify anything. Yi Xiaodao suspected that he had been living in a place of reincarnation for no reason during this period.
Yi Xiaodao turned around and ran away. Chen Youcai held the knife and chased after him. He ran to a bamboo and Yi Xiaodao stood still. Chen Youcai seized the opportunity and struck his head with a machete. Yi Xiaodao ducked down and struck the bamboo with the machete. It was indeed sharp, and the bamboo was instantly cut into two pieces.
Yi Xiaodao grabbed the broken bamboo with his cat body, and with a swipe, he stabbed the sharp end of the bamboo into Chen Youcai's heart. Blood flowed out from the tip of the bamboo.
"As a native of the Central Plains, I actually took refuge in the Eastern Japanese Kingdom. If I kill you with a sword, I feel like the sword is dirty, so I have to use local materials." Chen Youcai looked at Yi Xiaodao, and then he realized that Yi Xiaodao was not afraid of him, but just relied on his strength. He used a machete to chop down bamboo and used it as a weapon, but he died with the machete in his hand.
Chen Youcai lowered his head and looked at the wounds on his chest and abdomen. He wanted to pull it out, but he couldn't. His body gradually became weak and he fell limply to the ground, dead.
Yi Xiaodao didn't want to look at him any longer, so he walked past him, untied the rope, jumped into the boat, and started rowing the boat himself.
"Do you know that person?" Si Wangnan had a panoramic view of everything that had just happened on the shore. Yi Xiaodao borrowed someone else's hand to cut the bamboo and use it as a sharp weapon. This skill was really exquisite. As for using the sword to feel dirty, it was just for killing people's hearts. "Siqing" was in his hand, and Yi Xiaodao was unarmed, so where could he get the weapon?
"I don't know him. He was a bandit in Lincheng. I caught him and later escaped. I didn't expect to escape here, so I killed him." Yi Xiaodao told the truth.
Si Wangnan stared at Yi Xiaodao: "Isn't this just acquaintance? Have you ever caught a bandit? Who are they?" Only then did Si Wangnan remember that he had been with this kid all day long, but he didn't even know he was there. He doesn't know what sect he belongs to or what he does for a living, but he knows his own details clearly.
"Can you even rock an oar? You don't look like a Donglu person dressed like this...Nanhuai? Nanhuai is full of small bridges and flowing water. The way of rocking an oar is different from that of the sea..." Si Wangnan was curious and sat alone in the cabin. , talking about constant assumptions.
Yi Xiaodao smiled naively and said: "Actually, I am a member of the imperial court, with an official rank of fifth rank and a privy minister. The purpose of bringing troops to Donglu this time is to quell the war in Donglu. I don't want to learn about this dragon energy thing by accident. I want to I came here to stop the Wanyan Sect from banning the Dragon Qi, but I didn’t expect to be brought to the island by you, senior.”
Only then did Si Wangnan realize that this boy was from the capital. Since he was from the imperial court, it made sense why he was mixed up with people from Zhenyang Mountain and Shenji Sect.
"Oh, you don't look like a court official, you look like a street gangster. You are suitable for the world, not the court." Si Wangnan looked at Yi Xiaodao, who was rocking the oar, and expressed his opinion. .
"Hahahaha, there's nothing I can do about it. I've been a beggar since I was a child. I don't know who my father is or who my mother is. I grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. It would be great if I could become a petty official. If I wander around the world and become an unknown teacher, , If you don't have good friends, you still have to starve to death." Yi Xiaodao said with a meaningful smile.
Si Wangnan also laughed: "You are very thoughtful, um...well. Your intelligence is more than enough to be my disciple. As for the meridians and bones, the dragon energy will also help you expand them. You have learned a lot and are very resilient. I will accept you as my apprentice. Sword Immortal will be your master, so you have a lot of cards, right?"
"Yes!" Yi Xiaodao was overjoyed. He rocked the oar and was full of energy. He chatted with the new master over and over again.
In Richeng, in the county government office, Xue Mang from the Shenji Sect, Guan Chenzi from Zhenyang Mountain, and the remaining members of the Wanyan Sect all gathered here. The Shenji Sect and the Wanyan Sect once had a sect war, but it was a wonder to be able to sit together at this time.
The three sects are all more or less exposed to numerology and mysticism, and friendship and hostility all arise based on time and situation. The Shenji Sect and Wanyan Sect once went to war because of the arrangement of dragon energy. Now that the dragon energy is gone, there is no need for the two factions to continue fighting. The top priority is to find the whereabouts of the dragon energy.
"The Wanyan Sect is powerful in Donglu, can't they even find two people?" Guan Chenzi has always been peaceful and calm, but now that Yi Xiaodao was kidnapped under her nose, she was a little anxious and angry, and what she said was also... Mixed with a hint of gunpowder.
Dou Qin glared at Xue Mang and retorted: "Ask them! If you don't stay well in the capital, why do you come to our Wanyan Sect!"
"I, the disciples of the Shenji Sect, do not count even one out of ten, not for selfish reasons, but for the common people of the world. If your Wanyan Sect doesn't know how to do calculations, I will do the calculations for you and show you what the way of heaven is!" Xue Mang also suppressed his words. Full of anger, the sect was beaten to pieces and fell into pieces. The leader's last mission was to protect Yi Xiaodao, but now Yi Xiaodao was kidnapped in front of him. He was ashamed of the leader. When had Xue Mang, a young and successful young man, ever been so angry?
"When it comes to spying on heaven's secrets, Wanyan Sect is indeed not as good as Shenji Sect. You might as well do the math, where is Yi Xiaodao now? If you can save people, go and save them. If you can't, you have to bring the dragon energy back. ." Gu Changkong said.
"Out of Daqi, I can't count." Xue Mang said coldly.
"Sect Master, in addition to Yi Xiaodao's problem, there are also the gangs outside the city. They fought during the day and both sides were injured. Although they retreated..." Wan Fuguang didn't finish his words and looked sideways at Guan Chenzi and Xue Mang. , it was they who attracted these gangs.
Gu Changkong held the ancient sword in his hand and tapped the hilt with his fingertips: "We can't care so much anymore. As long as they dare to come, we will kill them. As long as we find the dragon's energy and lock the deep sea, the problem will be solved."
Xue Mang suddenly stood up: "You are stubborn!"
When Dou Qin and Wan Fuguang saw Xue Mang standing up, they also stood up and faced each other, and the situation became tense.
Guan Chenzi and Rong Chi stood up and pulled away from their companions. They dispersed in hostility and remained silent all night.
The next morning, as soon as Gu Changkong got up, a disciple of the Wanyan Sect came in and reported: "Sect Master, there is a small boat coming from the sea outside the door, and the person who comes calls himself Yi Xiaodao!"
