Giant trees compete for height, and clouds cover the sun.
The dense forest path is quite dark and gloomy.
Li Changan looked at the man opposite.
The opponent was extremely tall, maybe two meters away, but his physique was extremely strong.
Looking like a bear?
There was a thick beard on his face and his hair was in a messy bun. In the dim light, it was difficult to see what he looked like from a distance.
Does he look like Zhong Kui?
"Is this this person?" Li Changan muttered inwardly, "Why does he look familiar?"
At this time, the bearded man spoke first:
"Can the Taoist in front get out of the way?"
The Taoist priest was slightly startled, but smiled and said: "That can't be done."
In order to avoid affecting the people he saved, he went to the mountains and forests to stop him. How could he let the bearded man pass?
"The bearded man is going to chase a young lady in wedding dress?"
"Exactly."
"Heh." The Taoist priest displayed his long sword, "It just so happens that I, the poor Taoist, have been waiting here for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded man rushed over without saying a word, drawing his sword.
Although he is big, he is extremely fast and fierce, like a vicious tiger making wind, causing the leaves in the forest to fly as he moves.
After a few steps, he rushed in front of him and slashed down with a heavy sword.
The sword edge cut the air, causing a "ghost cry".
"This strongman seems to be pretty good."
Li Changan thought to himself, but without any hesitation, he raised his hand and struck the sword, but it moved lightly against the body of the epee.
It was clear that he planned to use the usual "four or two to move a thousand pounds" method.
However, as soon as Jian Feng came into contact, Li Changan's expression changed.
This bearded sword is like a rock on the shore, it cannot be touched at all, and it is worth ducking to avoid it.
Unexpectedly, with such a fast and heavy sword, the bearded man turned his wrist and suddenly changed his move halfway.
With a loud shout, he chased Li Changan again and swept over.
Li Changan couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to hold his sword in front of him and block the blow.
"Boom!"
It's like a hammer hitting a copper bell, frightening the birds in the forest.
Li Changan took more than ten steps back before he stabilized his figure, but the sword in his hand was still buzzing and trembling.
He couldn't help but click his tongue, this man had so much strange strength. Don't look at Li Changan's usual use of a sword, how swift and dexterous he is. But in fact, he has undergone several transformations of Earthly Evil, and his physical fitness, including strength, is much stronger than that of normal people.
But compared to this bearded man... He shook his head. Fortunately, this sword was custom-made in modern times at a high price, otherwise the sword would have been destroyed and people killed.
Li Changan cut off a piece of cloth and randomly wrapped it around the hilt of the sword, which shattered his jaw just now.
He looked at the bearded man cautiously, only to find that he did not take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, he held his sword and gasped for air.
This person... seems to be injured?
Li Changan tentatively swung his sword to attack, then turned around deftly and walked around to the side of the bearded man...
This happened several times.
Li Changan finally confirmed that the bearded man was indeed injured, and it was not easy to move around.
The Taoist priest is not a slender person, and he is also very good at catching his opponent's sore feet and chasing them fiercely.
Immediately, he changed his strategy and attacked the bearded man fiercely.
The force of the sword is light and dense, like a steady drizzle.
But in the drizzle, there are occasionally one or two swords, which are fierce and tricky, like the sudden appearance of thunder.
The bearded man had to deal with it carefully with his sword. After a long time, he finally lost the stalemate. Li Changan seized the opportunity and flew his weapon. He turned his sword and was about to behead his head.
The bearded man reacted strangely when the sword came to him.
He sighed slightly, straightened his back, closed his eyes and waited for death, looking like a generous sacrifice.
Hey.
Li Changan was happy.
How can you still act like a martyr when you are attacked by a robber who is a righteous man?
At this time, the Taoist priest looked carefully and suddenly remembered, wasn't this the bearded man who rescued him that day?
Strange, with the way Big Beard behaved that day, how could he be a robber who snatched a bride?
After thinking about it carefully, Li Changan finally discovered something fishy.
I didn't pay attention during the fight before, but now I looked carefully at the clothes under the bearded man's cloak. He was really miserable. The blood was stained through the clothes, but the hair was dry and congealed. There were still some arrowheads stuck in his body that had only cut off the poles.
Which strongman would be so lustful and desperate for his life? He was so seriously injured. Instead of quickly treating the wound, he dragged his seriously injured body to chase a woman alone?
Thinking about it this way, the woman was also very strange.
In such a chaotic situation, when the knife is put on the neck.
Where can anyone marry their daughter at this time?
While Li Changan was thinking, he did not forget to press the sharp sword in his hand against the bearded man's neck. However, the bearded man had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but for a while, every movement of the sword was thought to be the Taoist priest humiliating him, and he said in a hateful voice:
"You thief, if you want to kill me, kill me! How dare you humiliate me, Yan Xinglie, like this!"
After being scolded like this, the Taoist priest also realized that this was not a problem.
He dragged his beard to a bright place under a gap in the forest.
He took back his sword, shook his robe that was leaking in all directions, and pointed it at himself.
"Does Mr. Cha still recognize Pindao?"
……………………
When Li Changan returned to the mountain road, the woman was gone. Only the villagers gathered around and didn't know what they were doing.
"What are you doing?"
After asking, the villagers saw Li Changan and cheered in unison:
"Great, the Taoist priest is back!", "Uncle is saved."...
Then a simple-looking man ran over excitedly.
"road……"
Mengbuding noticed that Yan Xinglie was following Li Changan next to him. His tongue trembled and he couldn't say a word.
"Don't worry." Li Changan said with a smile, "Brother Yan may not be a bad person."
Then, he asked: "Where is the girl from before?"
"That little lady?" The man secretly glanced at the bearded man, moved back a few steps, and then replied, "Taoist priest, not long after you entered the forest, she said she was afraid that her family would be worried, so she refused to listen and left on her own. ”
After speaking, he showed an eager look.
"Taoist Priest, please help my third uncle. I don't know what's wrong with him?"
"how?"
Li Changan followed the man into the crowd.
He saw the old man whose legs and feet were injured earlier, sitting on the ground with his back to him, his hands and feet curled up, and he was shaking constantly.
Could it be... epilepsy?
"Old man, you..."
The old man suddenly turned his head, his face was red and veins were popping up, as if he had taken some kind of illegal drug. He was extremely excited and burst into tears, and his voice was high-pitched and thin.
"The white lotus comes to the world, and all people will turn around!"
What?
Li Changan was confused. Suddenly, his right leg tightened. He looked down and saw that the honest man had the same excited expression and hugged his right leg tightly.
Immediately afterwards.
The surrounding villagers rushed up at the same time, with strange excitement on their faces.
Hug waist, lay hands, block feet.
Even Li Changan found it difficult to escape for a while.
At this time, several men on the periphery were holding steel knives in their hands, shouting "Kill the evil ghost", and slashed at Li Changan.
"Oops, do we have to go sailing in the gutter?"
Suddenly, Li Changan's eyes dimmed, and a majestic figure stood in front of him.
It was Yan Xinglie who came to the rescue.
Something happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to draw his sword, so he just opened his arm and swung it towards the steel knife.
However, under the chaotic blade, there is no way a pair of arms can block it. If he dodges, Li Changan behind him will be exposed to the blade. He had no choice but to rely on the thickness of his cloak, and raised his hands to take a few stabs. Fortunately, these villagers had not touched the handles of the knives, so even if they cut through the cloak, the wounds left were not deep.
The bearded man seized the opportunity, pulled off his cloak, and swept away the villagers.
Immediately afterwards, a yellow talisman was bitten in the mouth, his hands formed a seal, and his abdomen bulged high, and then suddenly deflated.
Exhale loudly.
"Hmph! Ha!"
Suddenly, with him as the center, a wave of sound visible to the naked eye spread.
As the sound wave passed by, Li Changan was immediately confused, and he was in a daze for a while before he woke up.
Shaking his head and looking around, he saw that the restraints on his body had been loosened and all the villagers fell to the ground.
"Taoist, don't panic."
Yan Xinglie turned around and said:
"They fell under the spell of the witch. They fainted temporarily when I woke them up. They will wake up soon..."
As he spoke, the bearded man suddenly fell to his knees and coughed out a large mouthful of blood.
Li Changan was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him, but Yan Xinglie waved him away.
He stood up with force, raised his hands to the Taoist priest and said:
"Yan has a mission, so he doesn't dare to delay. See you in the world."
After saying that, she had to force herself to chase the "witch" he called her.
Li Changan quickly stopped him, thinking: With your physical condition, what will happen if you catch him?
After thinking for a while, Li Changan asked:
"Who is that witch?"
The bearded man hesitated for a moment, thinking that the crazy people had leaked the news before, and then said:
"Does the Taoist priest know about the White Lotus Sect?"
"White Lotus Sect?" Li Changan was stunned and blurted out: "The No. 1 shit-troublemaker?"
This sect is famous, which impressed Li Changan deeply.
He still remembered that when he was hanging out with Liu Laodao, he once watched a mysterious man in the countryside fooling the villagers with the trick of "filling boiling oil with his bare hands". Li Changan was about to expose it immediately, but was pulled away by Liu Laodao.
"Boy, if you encounter the White Lotus Sect again while traveling around the world, just take a detour without saying a word."
"Why?"
"Do you know there are three types of people in the world that you shouldn't mess with?"
"Old man, woman, child?"
"Bah, it's masters, lunatics and strength in numbers."
"What does the White Lotus Sect look like?"
"Take all three!"
Later, Liu Laodao explained in detail, and Li Changan found out. The White Lotus Sect has gathered a large number of heretics, including many experts from all walks of life. For hundreds of years since the establishment of the religion, it has only done two things, one is to deceive the people, and the other is to rebel. Regardless of the prosperous and troubled times, the good years and the bad years, the pursuit of death will never stop, as if the meaning of existence is to disturb the world.
Hearing the words "shit stirrer", Big Beard Yan nodded with deep understanding.
"This demon girl is an important role in the White Lotus Sect. When she took action in the forest before, she thought that the Taoist priest was the one who came to rescue her from the White Lotus Sect. If she is allowed to escape this time..."
Yan Xinglie recalled the tragic death of his colleagues in the Zhenfu Division in the deserted house with their corpses lying all over the ground.
"It is hard to escape the blame for Yan's death."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and was about to leave, but was forcibly held down by Li Changan.
"Brother Yan, please be safe."
"I will go through this journey for you."
