"Taoist Priest!"
The first sound was inexplicable shock, and the latter sound was sad and sad.
The saintly girl from the White Lotus Sect changed her face in the blink of an eye. She held up her skirt delicately, and trotted over her two red embroidered shoes like butterflies piercing flowers, carrying a gust of fragrant wind.
With such a beauty in my arms, what more could I ask for?
Unfortunately, the beauty in front of her was someone who didn't understand the charm. As soon as the beauty ran over and met her, she was pushed back by a rusty sword edge.
"What is Taoist Master doing?"
The woman's eyebrows were as soft as the water waves, her head lowered as if she was about to cry, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"In this monster lair, you and I are both strangers, so we should help each other in the same boat!"
"I don't dare to share the same boat with the bride."
The Taoist priest smiled and pursed his lips at the iron shackles on the woman's hands. The groom's blood had not yet dried on them.
"Pindao's skull is not made of iron."
"The Taoist Master clearly knows about the Nu family... huh?"
Halfway through his words, the Taoist priest suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's collar and lifted her beside him.
Immediately afterwards.
After a moment of erratic steps, a bunch of embarrassed monsters crawled into the doorway behind the woman.
………………
The garden is not big, surrounded by low whitewashed walls, with two exits.
It is generally arty, with a small flower garden in the middle. It is in season and is blooming beautifully.
But this group of monsters swarmed in, everyone looked panic-stricken. They followed the flower path left in the garden and clashed into the flowers and trees. Seeing the brutal Taoist priest blocking the road ahead, they all Qi then stopped.
A bunch of ferocious goblins were neither advancing nor retreating, they were just wandering around in place, and the colorful flowers and trees had no choice but to suffer, being crushed into mud in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the miserable appearance of these monsters, the Taoist priest thought for a moment and realized that he had made a mistake. These monsters were not chasing the monster, but running away from something.
Suddenly, the Taoist priest heard a subtle rustling sound in his ears.
It sounds like something is being dragged and scraped on the ground?
Now the monsters became more and more panicked. One of them, a calf-sized, cat-like dog-like thing, arched its back and bared its teeth at the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest only glanced at the sword-like gaze, and it whimpered and retreated with its tail between its legs.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest lowered his sword edge and moved out of the way. The monsters fled in confusion as if they had been granted amnesty. Within a moment, among the scattered flowers and trees in the small courtyard, only the Taoist priest, the witch and the monsters separated from them were the only ones. There was a rustle of a low wall getting closer and closer.
……………………
"rustle."
Across a low wall, the sound of chasing a large group of monsters, wolves, and wolves was getting closer and closer.
Li Changan opened the cloth bag in his hand and found only one gold needle.
The Taoist priest silently took it out and held it in his hand. The sound suddenly disappeared, and a snake head as big as a water tank protruded from the doorway opposite. The white scales were like polished metal, reflecting a dazzling light.
Was this the giant snake just now?
wrong.
Looking carefully, the Taoist saw that the snake's eyes were dull, and even the snake Xing'er was holding a deaf ear to its mouth, apparently losing consciousness.
Sure enough, another young scholar came out of the doorway. He held a snake as thick as a bucket in one hand and dragged it in step by step.
As soon as he entered the door, he grinned at the Taoist priest, then picked up the giant snake and rubbed his hands together. Every time he rubbed it, the snake shrank a little. After a while, the snake as thick as a bucket was only the size of chopsticks, and he took a gourd from his waist.
On the tip of Li Changan's nose, he immediately smelled the mellow aroma of wine.
The scholar smiled at the Taoist priest again, stuffed the snake in, dangled it in his ear a few times, hung the gourd back to his waist with satisfaction, then raised his hand to Li Changan and said:
"Please wait."
"It doesn't matter."
The Taoist priest returned the salute, holding the needle in his palm but showing no intention of taking the sword back. He only wondered where this person came from. The young master who had been promoted to high rank should have run away from the banquet before the giant snake. If he read correctly, he was still alive when the scholar stuffed him into the gourd.
This scholar is very good at brewing wine with a living snake demon. If it weren't for the fact that we and the enemy were not clear at the moment, we would have to hold him back and try a glass of wine concocted by the snake demon.
"Taoist priest, be careful, this scholar is powerful."
Just as he was thinking about it, a deep voice came from behind his ears. When the Taoist priest turned his head, it was Yan Xinglie leading Ma San and the mother and son over.
At this moment, the bearded man was still holding his yellow gelding in his hand. He did not know where he found it from. He also did not know where he put the fierce sword. His heavy sword hung on his waist. But it was Li Changan's sword.
When he saw the scholar, he quickly stopped Ma San and asked him to protect the mother and son and hide behind him. He took three steps at a time and stood side by side with the Taoist priest. First, he handed the sword back to the Taoist priest, and then looked at the scholar with a solemn expression.
"Yesterday, it was this scholar who attacked me. He was very powerful. During the fight, I couldn't keep the demon girl safe, so I had to let the horse hump the demon girl away first... That's what happened today!"
The bearded man gave an overview of the matter in a few words, but the Taoist priest understood something.
"Protecting the demon girl thoroughly?"
"good!"
Before the bearded man could say anything, the scholar over there raised his hand and said seriously:
"I have been entrusted by others to rid the world of this witch. Both of you are righteous men. Please do not stop me!"
After saying that, he looked hard at the demon girl.
"scare."
But the enchantress pretended to call out, twirling her green-white fingertips around her hair, half-hiding herself behind the Taoist priest, and said with a sweet smile:
"This young master has such a fierce look in his eyes, I'm afraid he's going to eat me alive."
She patted her chest.
"But, the slave family is now owned by Master Yan and Taoist Master. If you want to get the slave, you have to fight with them."
The bearded man glared at the witch.
"Of course this witch deserves to be killed, but it is Yan's duty that cannot be obeyed."
After saying that, he drew his sword and took a step forward.
The scholar waved his hand.
"You two have high righteousness. In this demon nest, you stand up for a paper man you don't know and put yourself in danger. I am already ashamed of myself. How can I fight with you here and now?"
After saying that, he cupped his hands, turned around and left.
In the end, only a reminder came through the wall.
"Take care, you two, that witch has broken off the golden needle seal."
The smile on the woman's face stopped immediately. She had already quietly moved away, and was about to take the opportunity to escape, but two piercing eyes came over her, locking her in place like iron nails, but it was Li Changan who pressed his sword and smiled softly.
"road……"
Before she could say anything, a big hand grabbed her neck. This woman was quite tall, but in Yan Xinglie's hand, she was like a rag doll in the little girl's hand, which she could manipulate with one hand.
He grabbed his neck and pressed his thumb on the back of his head, then he lowered his head obediently, revealing the scarlet dots on the back of his neck that were bleeding.
The woman refused, but all her efforts were in vain under the strange power of the bearded man. She was so angry that she yelled, "donkey ball", "no butthole", "Fuck your mother"... all in different ways. When it popped out of the small mouth of the cherry, it was quite different from the usual flirtatious behavior.
If the matter has nothing to do with you, the Taoist priest will just listen to it.
Yan Xinglie was able to keep his composure and ignored the dirty words at all, only shaking his head.
"Sure enough, the seal was taken off."
Turning to ask.
"Taoist Priest, do you still have the golden needle?"
"There's still one left."
The Taoist priest handed over the golden needle in his hand, and the bearded man took it and pressed it into his spine with one finger.
The woman immediately fell limply to the ground, and the world became quiet from then on.
………………
The group of people came out of the valley.
Looking back, the thick fog in the deep valley is still there, but you can vaguely see a thick smoke rising into the sky in the billowing fog.
This is not what Taoist priests and others do.
I don’t know what kind of grievances Zhuangzi has accumulated in his life. As soon as the tiger died, the monsters lost control and let go of their nature. They robbed, devoured, smashed, and set fire... The Taoist saw all the monsters along the way. It's all killing each other.
This saved a lot of manpower, so that the bearded man still had time to go back to the crumbling hall and retrieve the golden needles thrown by the Taoist priest.
"how?"
The Taoist priest handed over a wine gourd, which was filled with monkey wine from Tiger Village, but he had picked it up before he left.
"It's no longer worth it."
The bearded man was playing with the golden needle in his hand. Hearing this, he shook his head and took the gourd and took a big mouthful.
"That's going to be troublesome... Do you want to go through this?"
"Yes, I need to take a trip."
………………
Although Yan Xinglie was heroic and courageous, he still had a chivalrous spirit. A better word is called "people from all over the world", a worse word is called being organized and undisciplined. He felt that he had the same temperament as Li Changan, and they had fought side by side, and they knew everything that should be said and what should not be said.
For example, this golden needle, called the Demon Crossing Needle, is made from a Buddhist golden body and is a sharp weapon always kept by the guards of the Zhenfu Division!
Although the Taoist priest didn't understand where so many monks came from for acupuncture, he, a Taoist priest, couldn't control the gossip in the temple.
To put it more simply, this needle is very powerful.
The seals on the demon girl's body include, firstly, the dragon-suppressing lock on her hand, and secondly, the demon-crossing needle pierced into her spine.
This time, although the witch pulled out the golden needle, the effect was still retained in her body and she couldn't use her skills. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been forced back by the scholar and fell into Li Changan's hands.
However, this golden needle is a consumable item and must be replaced from time to time. Unfortunately, all the stock in Yan Xinglie's hand was thrown away by Li Changan in the village.
And the golden needle he recovered was greatly reduced in effectiveness after being used once. It was okay against those mountain spirits and wild monsters, but it was useless against the White Lotus Saint.
The trouble the Taoist said was that to seal the witch, a golden needle must be used, and golden needles were only available in the Zhenfu Division's headquarters.
What the two of them wanted to meet was the only nearby county town with a Zhenfusi garrison.
Pingye City.
"I'm afraid that my whereabouts will be exposed and the masters of the White Lotus Sect will be attracted."
The Taoist priest still had doubts. The bearded man did not take the main road, but only walked through the mountains and forests. Wasn't it just to avoid exposing his whereabouts?
"It should be fine to avoid the main road and just go into town in disguise."
Li Changan still shook his head. Not to mention how the bearded figure was disguised, what he was worried about was not the common people incited by the White Lotus Sect.
The escort of the White Lotus Saint was not only carried out in secret, but also brought together the experts from the three states and nine guards of the Zhenfu Division. However, within a few days, she was completely slaughtered, and not even the slightest information was revealed.
Is it the snobbish and powerful Ruosi of the White Lotus Sect?
of course not. It's just an old routine, there's a traitor.
In the past few years, the court has been in turmoil, and the snobbery from all sides has turned it into a sieve, but I didn't expect that the Zhenfu Division would not be spared either.
So what Li Changan is actually asking: Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by a traitor?
Yan Xinglie shook his head and smiled.
"But I can trust that person."
"It's just that I'm not familiar with the route here. I'm afraid it will take me a while to get to Pingyi, and I don't know about this Golden Needle..."
"Are your two benefactors going to Pingyi?"
The rescued woman suddenly spoke:
"The Nu family is the Pingye family. There is a shortcut nearby, but..."
