Gu Shengchao looked in the direction of Lu Jin's finger. The more than 20 people who besieged Shui Linglong were all a mob. Although there were so many people, only a few were really capable.
What posed a threat to Shui Linglong was two people with bare hands, constantly crossing and changing positions, making it difficult to capture the exact position.
Even though the two of them didn't have weapons in their hands, they were working in perfect harmony with each other. Shui Linglong was holding the sword in her hands, and she had to guard against sneak attacks from other people from time to time.
"Black and white are impermanent!"
The ancient sage blurted out.
"Hei Wuchang" is called Jia Liufang, and "Bai Wuchang" is called Zhuang Baishi. The two make a living by robbing tombs.
I didn't expect these two people to show up here.
Gu Shengchao jumped up from his horse, leaped over the crowd, shouted "Stop, everyone", and slapped Jia Liufang with his palm.
Jia Liufang heard the noise and dodged. When Gu Shengchao landed, he struck Shui Linglong's shoulder with his palm, and Zhuang Baishi freed his hand to fight with Gu Shengchao.
"Stop it, it's me." Before Gu Shengchao finished speaking, Zhuang Baishi stepped forward to stop Shui Linglong, and Jia Liufang attacked Gu Shengchao from the side.
At the moment when the two of them changed places, Gu Shengchao seized the only gap and passed through the middle. He took Shui Linglong's hand and stepped back, letting both Black and White Wuchang jump into the air.
Behind them were the shouting people. Gu Shengchao used the Iron Arm Magic, and his true energy condensed into a thin layer of pale golden armor on the surface of his body. He was not afraid of their weapons knocking down a piece with his body, ensuring Shui Linglong's safety.
Although his skin was intact, the robe on Gu Shengchao's back was damaged and might fall off at any time.
"Is it you?" Only then did Hei Bai Wuchang notice that the person standing in front of him was Gu Shengchao.
"Farewell to Beihu, how are you two benefactors?" The two had indirectly saved the lives of Gu Shengchao, and he always treated them as benefactors.
Seeing that they knew each other, and that their weapons couldn't hurt the ancient saint at all, the people behind them gathered around and didn't dare to act rashly.
Jia Liufang took a step forward and said, "You brat, since we are old acquaintances, I will spare your life. Leave quickly and don't meddle in other people's business."
Lu Jin also rushed over, took Shui Linglong's hand and said excitedly: "Sister Shui, why are you here?"
Shui Linglong just shook her head: "Oh, it's hard to explain in words."
This was not the time to reminisce about the past, so Lu Jin stopped asking any more questions.
The crowd who were watching heard Lu Jin speak softly, softly, and have fair skin. Some people laughed loudly and said: "Stay this girl, I want to marry her as my wife."
"You fart." Lu Jin shouted angrily.
But her voice was too sweet, even when she was angry, it was like flirting with her lover, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Zhuang Baishi said contemptuously: "Little brother, we are using people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Someone has offered us a good price to kill this girl. If you insist on meddling, I'm afraid it will cost your own life." not worth it."
As these two brothers became more capable, they began to become arrogant.
"What if I have to draw my sword to help?" Ancient Sage said coldly.
Zhuang Baishi sighed: "You have no choice but to go one step ahead on the road to Huangquan."
"Stop talking nonsense and kill them. I'm still waiting to get married to that girl!" A woman said with a smile.
Gu Shengchao took out his tooth tag and held it up high, saying, "I am an official of the imperial court. Anyone who dares to commit the following crimes will be punished by death. It's not too late to take action after you think clearly."
"That's a lie. No one will know if you kill them. If anything happens, I, Satomasa, will be responsible for it." Someone shouted loudly from behind the team.
"Kill them!"
"Yes, kill them!"
The crowd was so excited that they did not take Gu Shengchao seriously at all.
Lu Jin's round shield and scimitar were already in his hands, and Gu Sheng Chao An said: "You don't have to be merciful, there's no harm in killing them all."
Gu Shengchao was worried that Lu Jin was soft-hearted and would be plotted against him due to his lack of experience.
Jia Liufang shook his head and said, "Even when death is imminent, I still keep my mouth shut. If I want to blame you, I blame you for blocking the way for my two brothers to get rich."
After all, Jia Liufang went to ancient times
Sheng Chao faced him with a palm.
As soon as he moved, Zhuang Baishi naturally attacked Shui Linglong.
Just when Gu Shengchao and Shui Linglong were parrying, the two of them instantly switched places and attacked them from the side. Their dazzling movements were hard to guard against.
The four of them fought in a melee, and Lu Jin, who was alone, became the target of the remaining people. Seeing her fragile appearance, they all surrounded her with courage and wished they could carry her home immediately.
"Little sister, go home with your brother. I promise I won't treat you badly." One person stepped forward first with a big knife in his hand, trying to pull Lu Jin away.
Lu Jin couldn't hold back the anger in his heart for a long time. He raised the knife and cut off the man's arm, and then cut off the man's head with the scimitar.
In fact, the man had been on guard for a long time, but Lu Jin was too fast, so the man didn't make any corresponding action and watched him die.
The few remaining people approached Lu Jin. Seeing that their accomplice was killed instantly, they backed away in fear. However, the people behind them pressed forward, and in the blink of an eye they became the victims of Lu Jin's sword.
Fear began to envelope these people.
After a few more people died, the ones at the back finally reacted and scrambled to escape.
Just now Shui Linglong couldn't bear to take action, and they showed off their power one by one. Now there are real casualties, and they are as timid as rats and flee. The greed and cowardice of human nature are undoubtedly revealed.
Li Zheng, who clamored to take responsibility, was killed on the spot by Lu Jin, who chopped off his head with a knife because his legs were weak when he escaped and could not stand firmly.
In less than a cup of tea, the crowd who had been domineering just now fled to death, and only the two brothers Black and White Wuchang were left on the scene.
Only then did Lu Jin realize: How did I become so powerful? The speed of my sword attack was not only faster but also sharper, far exceeding my previous self.
She immediately thought, could it be the reason for the success of overcoming the tribulation, or the reason why the ancient sage Chao taught her martial arts?
A person stood there and slowly thought about it.
Black and white and Wuchang were disdainful of this, and relied on some skills to still besiege Gu Shengchao and Shui Linglong.
After a short period of discomfort, Gu Shengchao gradually became familiar with their palm techniques. Although it was not as sophisticated as the Nine Heavens Biluo Palm of the Four Kings Valley, the tacit cooperation and flexible movement made up for the shortcomings in the palm techniques.
The ancient sage deployed the Nine Heavens Blue Falling Palm, taking advantage of the Five Soul Formation and the mutual restraint of the five elements to overwhelm the two of them in terms of movement speed.
Although they clearly had the advantage in speed, they couldn't find each other in an instant, which made the Black and White Wuchang brothers discouraged.
Bystanders clearly saw that Lu Jin saw that Gu Shengchao had the upper hand, so he stood aside and watched the battle without stepping forward to help.
Seeing that they were outmatched, Black and White Wuchang changed positions more frequently. When they made mistakes in the rush, Gu Shengchao caught the loophole and hit Zhuang Baishi on the shoulder. He fell backward and hit Jia Liufang's chest.
They both fell on their backs.
They got up in embarrassment, but seeing that Gu Shengchao was not taking advantage of the victory, the two of them hurriedly rolled and crawled away.
Just as Gu Shengchao was about to question Shui Linglong, there was the sound of horse hooves, and many police officers came rushing towards him, surrounded by one person.
"It's them, it's them who killed people." Someone pointed at Gu Shengchao and shouted.
"Bold maniac, please capture him quickly." Judging from the official title of the speaker, he should be the local magistrate.
Gu Shengchao took out his tooth tag and ordered: "Who dares? I am the minister of the Ministry of War. I went to Pinghua County to suppress bandits. I passed by here and encountered bandits. Is it wrong to kill them?"
Seeing the ancient sage's righteous and awe-inspiring look, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect, and quickly dismounted and ran forward, taking the tooth plaque with both hands and looking at it carefully.
The official's official title and resume were written on the tooth tag. The county magistrate repeatedly confirmed it and presented it to Gu Shengchao with both hands. He bowed respectfully and said: "I have not come far to welcome you. I hope that you will atone for your sins. Please follow me to the county government office to rest. Prepare a little wine to entertain the adults."
"No need, we are on our way, you can just report today's events to the county magistrate in detail." Gu Shengchao declined the magistrate's invitation.
Seeing the owner waving to him, the BMW Zhui Feng galloped towards him. Gu Shengchao got on the horse and waited until Shui Linglong and Lu Jin also got on the horse before leaving together.
When the county magistrate saw them leaving, he dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The three people from Ancient Sage Chao galloped forward, and Lu Jin finally couldn't hold back her laughter.
Seeing Lu Jin's happy look, Gu Shengchao was also pleased. During those days in the capital, he also saw Lu Jin's helplessness and loneliness.
"Why are you laughing?" The ancient sage was puzzled.
Lu Jin pointed at his back and said, "Show Sister Shui, the back is almost torn into strips of cloth."
Gu Shengchao reached out and touched it, and could feel the damage to his robe, and the skin on his back felt cold.
Shui Linglong's heart was heavy, and she smiled when she saw Gu Shengchao's tattered clothes: "It's time to change. Didn't you bring any extra clothes?"
"Yes." Lu Jin stopped moving.
Gu Shengchao and Shui Linglong also stopped one after another, and the two carrying horses behind them also stopped. Lu Jin dismounted and found a change of robes from the package and handed them to Gu Shengchao.
"There is a small forest next to it. Brother Gu, please go over there and change your clothes." Lu Jin found a suitable place for him.
"Thank you!" Gu Shengchao took the robe and jumped into the nearby woods.
When he came back after changing his clothes, Lu Jin and Shui Linglong were sitting side by side under the tree on the roadside, looking very intimate.
"Sister Shui said she's tired. Let's rest for a while before rushing on!" Lu Jin said with a water bag in her hand.
"Okay, there are some snacks in the package, let's take them out and share them!" Gu Shengchao sat next to him.
Lu Jin happily took back the snacks and the three of them shared the food.
"If Elder Shui didn't go back to the West Cold Country, why would he be here?" Ancient Sage Chao asked curiously.
Shui Linglong said sadly: "My mother was originally from the Dawu Dynasty. Before she died, she asked me to bring her ashes back and bury them next to her parents."
"Could this be the village just now?" Gu Shengchao suddenly realized that something was wrong, as if he had done something bad with good intentions.
Shui Linglong nodded and said with a wry smile, "Exactly. It's a pity that the elders in the village didn't allow my mother to be buried there. We killed many clan members today, and it will be even more impossible in the future."
After a long silence, Gu Shengchao said guiltily: "I'm sorry, it's all our fault for messing up the matter, causing Elder Shui to suffer, and preventing the old man from fulfilling his last wish."
