Yin Ziqi struck with a single palm, but Jiang Shuo could not use his strength to counterattack, and it was difficult to catch it. At this moment, He Wansui attacked from the side. Although his scimitar was cut off, he was still extremely brave. He moved his fists and attacked again. Coming up, in the midst of lightning and flint, Jiang Shuo thought in his mind and took Yin Ziqi's right palm with his left palm, but his right palm was against He Wansui's fist. When the two touched each other, the true energy was immediately connected, and He Wansui's internal energy was How could his cultivation be compared to Yin Ziqi's? As soon as his fist touched Jiang Shuo's palm, he felt a huge force and flew straight out like a kite with its string broken.

At this time, the seven-star sword thrown by Jiang Shuo had also made a circle in the air, forcing all three people in the He Wansui Seven-Star Formation, Dou Piao, to retreat and then spin back. Jiang Shuo leaned forward, caught the sword, and carried the sword with him. He picked up Dugu Xiang's hand and rushed forward. Both the Erhe brothers were seriously injured. The two seven-star formations had no one to supervise them, so they were naturally unable to stop them. Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang quickly passed through the formations.

Yin Ziqi finally understood this time. Jiang Shuo had drawn out his insides and used his strength to knock He Wannian away. Although he didn't understand the reason, seeing Jiang Shuo's moves of left and right, he recalled the previous fights between him and him. Jiang Shuo looked at the situation of the two palms and knew that this must be the case.

Yin Ziqi sneered: "I have been hunting geese all my life, but today I got a goose pecked in the eye." He had always hung a horizontal sword on his waist, but he had previously been conceited that he could defeat Jiang Shuo with just fists and kicks, so he had never used it, but now he drew the sword. Regardless of the injured people in Xuanji Formation, he ran after the two of them as if he was flying on tiptoes.

Jiang Shuo turned around and saw Yin Ziqi chasing after him with a horizontal knife in his hand, his face more ferocious than ever before, he did not dare to turn around and fight, and said to Dugu Xiang: "Let's go find grandpa first, I'm afraid there will be no good in getting involved with Mr. Yin. "

Dugu Xiang smiled and said, "Then I'll advise him to chase more slowly."

Jiang Shuo asked curiously: "He is so angry right now that he wants to kill the two of us and then hurry up. How can he listen to your advice?"

Dugu Xiang said seriously: "Why don't you give him some nice gifts? As the saying goes, 'Don't hit the smiling person with your hand, and don't scold the gift-giver when you open your mouth.'"

Jiang Shuo said: "Our lives are at stake at this time. I'm afraid Mr. Yin won't accept your gift, right?"

The two of them kept talking but did not stop. Yin Ziqi saw that the two of them were actually whispering and laughing to each other while they were running ahead. Yin Ziqi couldn't help but become more angry, stepped harder, and chased even closer.

Dugu Xiang said: "I can't help but he refuses to accept my kind gift." After saying that, he turned around and smiled brightly at Yin Ziqi and said: "Mr. Yin, don't chase me. I have a nice gift for you, little lady." He raised his hand and the three of them said. A black bullet flew towards Yin Ziqi's face, chest, and lower abdomen.

Yin Ziqi saw that the three projectiles were smaller than chicken eggs, and the attack was not very violent. He said that Dugu Xiang was weak internally, and although the concealed weapon hit in the right direction, the force was too weak. Hehe sneered, thinking that if he only relied on these three hidden weapons to stop me, could he be taking me too lightly? Determined to show off his skills, he handed the knife to his left hand, but with his right hand, he moved his robe sleeve to catch all three projectiles in his hand, and then threw them back.

Not only did the black projectile that hit the lower road explode as soon as Paoxiu came into contact with it, the projectile exploded with a "bang". Before he could figure out what was going on, another projectile hit the middle road and exploded in the same way. Seeing the sound, Yin Ziqi was about to grasp the projectile on the road with his right hand. Yin Ziqi changed his grasp to bullet in his busy schedule, trying to flick the black pill away with his index finger. Unexpectedly, the black pill exploded immediately upon contact, and three explosions were heard in succession. The sound was so shocking that Yin Ziqi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he saw that the sleeve of his right hand was shattered, and the remaining half of the sleeve was still burning. His fingers were all black, and he didn't know whether it was poison or injury.

It turns out that Taoist elixirs often use sulfur, saltpeter and other poisonous substances. If the refining method is not used properly, it will be useless and harmful. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, pioneered the "sulfur method within the elixir" to remove flammable drugs such as sulfur and saltpeter. It is first refined with fire to subdue its toxicity, which is called "subduing fire".

The method of subduing the fire is to burn the sulfur and saltpeter with a flame. After the fire is extinguished, add charcoal and stir-fry. If it is refined properly, purple smoke will rise and its toxicity will be eliminated. However, if it is not refined properly, there will still be sulfur and saltpeter in it. If there is a smoldering fire or if it is accidentally ignited when adding charcoal, there will be a violent explosion instead of smoke.

By the time of Kaiyuan Tianbao, alchemists not only knew that mixing sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal would cause an explosion, but also knew the approximate proportions of the formula. Someone used this recipe to make a black powder, which was called "gunpowder." The kneaded "thunderbolt bombs" do not require ignition and can cause explosions due to violent collisions. Taoist priests who collect medicine often go into the mountains and forests alone. These "thunderbolt bombs" can be used to drive away wild animals. Ge Ruliang once used thunderbolt bombs on the Han River. To scare off the black dragon, no one in the world used gunpowder for military purposes, and thunderbolts were only a secret kept by a few Taoist disciples, so Yin Ziqi did not know about it.

Fortunately, people in the mid-Tang Dynasty did not know the exact proportion of black powder. The thunderbolts made by Ge Ruliang were only astonishing, but not as powerful as later generations. Yin Ziqi extinguished the flames on his right arm, except for his sleeves. There were several skin burns on the arm, which looked quite miserable. The fingers and palms could be flexed and extended freely, but no major damage was suffered. But when he stopped to put out the fire and inspect the injury, Dugu Xiang and Jiang Shuo were already far away.

Jiang Shuo saw Yin Ziqi reaching out to catch the missile and then exploded into flames. He asked Dugu Xiang, "What is this? I saw you use it on the Han River."

Dugu Xiang said: "This is a thunderbolt made secretly by me, but it can only scare people, but it can't hurt them."

Jiang Shuo said: "That's the best. Too many people have been hurt today."

Dugu Xiang smiled and said: "Walking around in the world, if you don't hurt others, others will hurt you. Only a Bodhisattva has a heart that doesn't have thunderbolt means, but he can't be the leader of the world."

Jiang Shuo said: "I can't do it in the first place, but I don't want to become not only the leader of the Jianghu Alliance, but also the leader of the Cao Gang. But since I am favored by all the big brothers, I can only do it reluctantly and bite the bullet. Today, I am lucky to have someone. Xiang'er is here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to escape so easily."

Dugu Xiang said: "Brother Shuo, as long as you don't dislike me, I will always be by your side." When Dugu Xiang said this, his true feelings were revealed, and his tone was so gentle that Jiang Shuo couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, but when he saw After the fight, Xiang'er's face was moist, with fine sweat hanging on her pink face, which was crystal clear under the moonlight. Under her white shorts, her young body had begun to bulge, and her long white rope taut On his arms, he danced behind him as he ran, as graceful and graceful as a flying fairy. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but be fascinated by the sight, and said nonchalantly: "I only want to be with you all my life, how could I dislike you?"

Dugu Xiang felt happy when he saw what he said was silly, but he said: "You said it nicely now. I saw any sisters named Yu and Li that day. I'm afraid I will forget them again."

When Jiang Shuo found out that she was talking about Yu Lanchu and Li Zhuer, he was immediately embarrassed and said with a blush, "My two sisters and I are friends sincerely, but I just admire their character and have no personal relationship with them." He said this She admitted that she had an affair with Xiang'er. After hearing this, Dugu Xiang liked her again. She was open-minded by nature. Even though she was usually joking and playing without seriousness, she was actually a generous and heroic daughter of the world, not a jealous little girl. , she saw Jiang Shuo's embarrassment and said softly: "Brother Shuo, there is no need to confess, I naturally know what you are thinking."

This caged fire city is not big, and the two of them were talking to each other, but their feet were not stopping for a moment. In a blink of an eye, they had bypassed Erdao City. Although their hearts were full of tenderness and sweetness, their eyes and ears were still alert. Suddenly, they heard a burst of sound that broke through the sky. There was a sound, but there were countless crossbow arrows coming. Before Jiang Shuo could strike with the seven-star sword, Dugu Xiang danced the Bailian long rope, rolled up all the iron arrows, and raised his arms to shoot all the arrows back, with a shaky posture. , just like the body technique that Mrs. Achu performed at Xixi Villa that day.

In fact, Dugu Xiang's internal strength was weak, and the arrow she shot back had already missed its target. However, her flying figure was so graceful. The ambushing sergeant saw the girl in white dancing the long rope under the moonlight, as if she were a fairy descending from the earth. It was the gods who came, and they were discouraged. They hid their heads and necks and did not dare to shoot the crossbows again. The two talented people were brave and did not look for the ambush hiding in the dark. They just rushed forward into the grain cellar area of ​​​​Beicheng.

The grain cellars in the north city are neat and uniform, in sharp contrast to the chaos in the south city. The so-called grain cellar is a deep circular pit dug in the ground. The grain is stored in the pit. A conical scaffolding is erected above the ground and covered with thick thatch to protect it from wind and rain. At this moment, I saw thatched cones all over the North City arranged in a neat square array. These thatched cones were five feet in diameter but less than one foot high. They looked like giant turtles lying on the ground.

Jiang Shuo and Xiang'er knew where Dugu Wen was without asking. They saw a grain cellar in the center of the phalanx. There was only a wooden frame but no thatch covering. There was a blazing fire in the middle, and it was surrounded by guards holding crossbows. The circle was guarded by guards holding a knife and a torch.

When the two men rushed in, the guards naturally saw them and immediately divided them into two circles. The inner circle still pointed their crossbows at the grain cellar, but the outer circle was divided into two rows, with the guards holding swords in front and the guards holding crossbows behind. . As the Israeli army said, this change of formation was well-trained and they could handle it well. However, Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang's light skills were so superb. They casually deflected the iron arrows fired by the crossbowmen while running forward. The oncoming force was actually Without delay, all the sword-wielding guards shouted to cover up and attack, but they were no match for the two. The two rushed into the formation and beat the opponent like chopping melons and vegetables, leaving them unable to fight back.

Jiang Shuo saw that there were no masters among the guards, so he couldn't bear to hurt each other, so he just cut off the weapons in their hands, or used acupuncture techniques to restrain them. Dugu Xiang's long rope dance did not just cut off the weapons like this It was accurate and harmless. Wherever the silver ball's flying claws hit, there was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves, and a gap was broken in the encirclement in an instant.

The two went to the pyramid frame and took a look. There was a cylindrical pit four feet deep. There was not a grain of grain at the bottom of the cellar. There were only three leaders, Dugu Wen, Xie Yanchang, Lu Yuxuan, and Xiao Da.
