After Li Ke tried the Green Lotus Qi Transformation Technique and Yi Jian Ribian Lai, he was filled with joy. He knew that if he continued to practice, he would become stronger than he was now. He was also secretly glad to have received this inheritance, and said to himself: "After going down the mountain , this heart-inducing technique must be practiced as soon as possible."
The road down the mountain is as difficult as the road up the mountain, but at this time Li Ke is no longer the Li Ke who went up the mountain. With the improvement of inheritance, his whole body is much lighter and more agile, so it is not that troublesome to go down the mountain.
After going down the mountain, Li Ke turned around and looked at the towering Jianmen Mountain behind him. He couldn't help but sigh. He picked up the wine bottle he carried with him, took a sip, and blurted out:
The sword gate is so high that it is difficult for an ape or an eagle to cross it.
Immortals have always lived in high towers, trying their swords to shake the sky.
Ambition spreads across mountains and rivers, cutting through wind, rain and snow.
A pot of wine, a few degrees of autumn.
How can a strong man cherish the blood of his heart? His will is filled with the bright moon on the mountain.
One sword hits the target, and it is difficult for ten thousand people to break through.
Hanging rocks and flying trees hang on the green clouds, and rapids flow into the rivers.
Mortals can still climb to the heavenly level and be proud of the world.
A song brings a little sadness.
Why do you need three hundred moves to hold a sword? Your energy can defeat the cold winter frost.
Afterwards, Li Ke walked towards the brightly lit place last night with longing in his heart. Sure enough, since crossing Jianmen Mountain, everything has become more open. Even when walking on the road in the suburbs, there are few mountain peaks, not even bigger and taller rocks. The road is lined with green trees, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. , as if arriving in a new world.
Just as Li Ke was walking happily, he suddenly heard some movement not far away. Li Ke walked towards the sound curiously. However, since he was new here, Li Ke didn't want to cause any trouble, so he hid his movements and kept his body light. Like a swallow, it jumped above the treetops and looked at everything under the trees.
There were two prison cars parked not far away. They should be resting. There were seven or eight people escorting them around. There were two people detained in each prison car. One was two young women and the other was an older man and woman. They looked like they should be there. They were a family, dressed in fine clothes, not in prison uniforms.
Li Ke looked at the escorting men and horses again. The seven or eight people had strong and steady steps and capable figures. They were practitioners with good kung fu. They were dressed in uniforms and had a big "Yan" tattooed on their chests. Most of them had surnames. The official of a strict and noble family.
What made Li Ke question was why these people, since they were escorting prisoners, did not march on the road. Instead, they sneakily avoided the road and hid behind the deep forest.
While Li Ke was thinking, two people walked towards the tree. Li Ke thought that his whereabouts had been discovered, so he held his breath and was about to jump down. When he was getting ready to go, he only heard the two people chattering: "Damn, I've been rushing all the way, and I'm choking to death just soaking in my urine." Only then did Li Ke realize that the two of them just came under the tree for convenience.
"The same goes for Mr. Yan. Since we have taken over the Ling family, we will execute him on the spot, but he still wants my brothers and I to go through this. It's really painful." Only one person was heard peeing and complaining.
"What do you know? Mr. Yan has a long-term plan. There was no legitimate reason to get rid of the Ling family. Even the current charges are fabricated. Many people in the city are talking about executing them if they are really in the city. Arousing public anger would be a big deal. The reason why Mr. Yan wanted to escort them out of the city, exile them to the border, and use the two ladies of the Ling family to reward the soldiers guarding the border was actually to slowly eliminate the bad influence of the Ling family. "The person who looked like the leader said from the side.
"Brother, since we are going to take them to reward the army, I think it is better to reward the brothers first. Anyway, it is a reward for everyone. Besides, these two young ladies of the Ling family are famously beauties. Look at that Your skin is delicate and smooth, so you can't treat your brothers badly." The man who complained before said to the man next to him with lustful eyes.
The leader turned his head and glanced at the prison car, thoughtfully. Then he lifted up his pants and said with a smile: "You guys would think so, but it does make sense. It would be a pity to reward such a beautiful young beauty to the army. We brothers have to taste it first."
"Brother, can I make a request?"
"If you fart quickly, let it go!"
"Brother, you see there are only two sisters. We have seven brothers. I think it is better for the eldest brother to share the sisters with the other brothers and just leave the old lady to me. I think she is an old lady and is very charming. Brother, I prefer this type, and it definitely has a different flavor."
The leader looked at the lady, "Damn it, so you kid is planning this, but Madam Ling does look young and her charm is still there. Okay, as you wish, the old one will be given to you." , the little ones are enjoying it, and we will find a private place to do it for them tonight."
After that, the two walked back with evil smiles on their faces.
After Li Ke heard this conversation, he became curious about this matter. I thought that these people must not be good people with such thoughts. Moreover, I heard that this family was framed, how could I, who was naturally chivalrous, endure it, so I decided to follow them and wait for an opportunity to rescue this family.
Li Ke hid in the tree for a long time, and the seven men finally escorted the prison van and started to set off. The group of people teased the woman in the prison van as they walked, which was very rogue. Li Ke followed, especially angry, but couldn't act rashly.
After following them all afternoon, it was already dark. Several people were delayed on the road and could not catch up with the next station, so they decided to find a place to rest nearby. After searching for a while, there were no houses within a radius of two or three miles, only a dilapidated temple, which was suitable for a few people to do such shameless things without anyone noticing. The leader led a group of people and escorted the family there. Destroy the temple and leave.
The temple was in dilapidated condition, and judging from the traces, many people had stayed there. There are overgrown weeds all around, and there are several crooked statues of gods in the temple. They all look like stumps with their heads and arms broken, and they have long lost their majesty. A group of people took a family of four from the prison car into the ruined temple and tied them to two pillars. A group of people lit a fire in the center of the main hall, took out dry food and wine and started eating.
As the saying goes, the surrounding environment did not affect the desires of several people at this moment. Looking at the lady tied to the pillar, her eyes became evil. Her greedy look was like a wolf that had been hungry for half a month. The lady couldn't help but be frightened.
The leader stopped pretending, "Mrs. Ling, the two Miss Lings are here to reward the troops anyway. Why don't we just give my brothers an advantage tonight? Maybe my brothers will be reluctant to send you away if they are happy." Let’s go and reward the troops.”
When the Ling family master heard this, he was filled with righteous indignation and cursed: "You bunch of beasts actually said such despicable words. My wife and daughter of the Ling family will definitely refuse to obey. Even if I die on the mountain, I will , I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost.”
"Master Ling, calm down. Even if you want to be a ghost, you have to let me wait for happiness first. Besides, your Ling family will be in the situation it is today, all because you, master, can't tolerate any dust in your eyes. Now that you're here, don't go any further." There's no point in struggling." The leader said with a proud look on his face and motioned for everyone to get started.
Seeing that something was not going well, Ling Shantu struggled desperately and cursed: "Beast! Beast! Unless I die today, I will wait until your body is gone."
Seeing Ling Shantu causing trouble, one of them walked up to Ling Shantu and said, "Old man, since you want to die, I will satisfy you now." After saying that, he knocked him unconscious with a palm, but it didn't really happen. Take his life, just to scare you.
Seeing that Ling Shanlu stopped yelling and scolding, they followed the pre-arranged agreement. Six of them walked towards the two young ladies, and one walked towards Madam Ling. The desire in his eyes was about to flow to the ground at this time.
The two young ladies and Mrs. Ling looked at the approaching people, despairing, but unable to move. Helpless tears flowed out of their eyes, making Li Ke feel uncomfortable all over.
Li Ke originally wanted to follow and look for an opportunity to rescue the family of four, but now it seems that it is too late to wait any longer. The eldest lady of the Ling family was thinking silently in her heart: "The Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, if someone can save us at this time, no matter what kind of person he is, I am willing to marry him."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished her silent meditation, Li Ke jumped down from the temple wall and landed in the courtyard. He shouted loudly: "Stop! If you leave immediately, you can still survive." He looked at a group of people. The man has sharp eyes and an intent to kill.
When the three female members of the Ling family saw someone coming to save them, they looked like they saw a savior in their eyes and cried bitterly.
When the group of people saw Li Ke, they looked around and saw that Li Ke was indeed the only one. The man who was close to Mrs. Ling stepped forward with a knife and said, "Who is this blind little thief who dares to harm us, the Seven Hegemons of Eling?" What's the good thing? I don't even want to ask. My seven brothers have been in Eling for so many years, and no one has ever dared to interfere with our affairs. If you know what's going on, leave as soon as possible."
Li Ke looked calm and had no intention of retreating. The response: "It doesn't matter how many tyrants you are in Eling, if you don't listen to me, I will make you the bastards of Eling tonight."
Seeing Li Ke's resolute attitude and provocative words, several people were furious. They picked up the guy on the ground and surrounded him. The leader said: "You bastard, you dare to make fun of my brother. You are destined to die here tonight. There is nothing wrong with learning. You have to learn from other heroes to save the beauty. Listen up, I am Sun Ba, the boss of the Seven Hegemons of Eling. God, I will let you die today."
"I am Sun Bashan."
"Sun Bahai"
"Sun..."
"Stop, stop, stop, I don't want to know how you dominate the east and dominate the west. Since you can't listen to good advice, don't blame me for being ruthless with the sword." Li Ke replied impatiently.
After hearing this, several people felt that Li Ke despised them, so they flew forward and surrounded Li Ke with weapons. Li Ke didn't panic, he didn't even draw his sword, he just blocked their attacks one after another.
Li Ke found that these people were not weak in martial arts and had probably been famous in the world for a long time. No wonder they were so arrogant. The group of people couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw that Li Ke had avoided all the attacks before he even drew his sword. The female members of the Ling family were even more happy when they saw this.
"Brothers, this kid has something, don't be careless and set up a formation!" Sun Batian directed a few people to quickly form a formation around Li Ke.
"Boy, since you forced out the Seven Hegemons' soul-seeking formation of the Seven Hegemons of Eling today, your life is destined to be decided here. Even Daluo Jinxian can't save your life." Sun Batian said proudly and asked Li Ke Attacked.
"I didn't expect that this rogue man actually knew the arrangement of the Big Dipper and derived such a killing formation. I really underestimated them." Li Ke thought not to be careless.
A group of people kept changing their attack positions and advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, but Li Ke also began to have difficulty coping.
Seeing that Li Ke was about to be overwhelmed, everyone accelerated their attack. Li Ke knew that if this continued, the enemy would be outnumbered and we would be outnumbered, and it would be really difficult to defeat the enemy. He might as well try Master Chang Geng's sword, Ribian Lai, just to see how powerful it was in actual combat.
Just as several people changed their formations and lined up to attack together, Li Ke jumped up and stood in the air, recalling every detail of the time at Jianmen Mountain. He unsheathed his long sword, pointed one finger to the ground, and held the sword in the other. chest, and then swung his sword down gracefully, and saw an unstoppable sword intent volleying down from the sky. A group of people were suppressed by the powerful sword intent and found it difficult to move forward. The sword was so fast that several people were shocked by the oncoming sword intent before they could react. He flew out, fell into pieces, and died on the spot. However, a long and deep sword groove was left on the ground in the courtyard, which was smooth and flat. The power of the sword intent made the already dilapidated temple crumbling. From time to time, Wood and rocks fell, and the three female relatives were also disgraced.
Li Ke quickly sheathed his sword and quickly came to the temple, untied several people in the temple, picked up Ling Shantu, who was still unconscious, and quickly evacuated from the temple. In a moment, the entire temple collapsed and dust was everywhere.
Li Ke put down Ling Shan Tu and asked the people on the side, "Are you all okay?"
The two young ladies of the Ling family looked at the graceful Li Ke before them, and recalled Li Ke's sword that shocked the past and the present. They were like beings descending from heaven, and their eyes were blank.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ling pretended to cough, reminding the two girls to pay attention to their appearance, and then said slowly: "It's all right for us. I'm grateful to you for saving me today. But now that my Ling family is suffering from this disaster, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay it for a while." Young Master."
Li Ke quickly declined: "Mrs. Ling, you're welcome. I, Li Ke, walk in the world and save people without expecting anything in return. If I ask for something in return for every person I save, then I have lost the original intention of a knight."
The two women on the side came to their senses and thanked them repeatedly.
"My little girl's name is Ling Ziwei. She is the daughter of the Ling family. This is my sister Ling Zhuwei. I really want to thank Mr. Li for his help. I will remember it for the rest of my life." Ling Ziwei said to Li Ke with gratitude.
Li Ke looked at the woman who was talking in front of him, stretched out his hand to wipe some grass dust from her head, and said: "Miss Ziwei, there is no need to say thank you. Besides, I, Li Ke, can't bear to see injustice in the world. How can I stand by and watch whenever I encounter it?" reason."
At this time, Ling Shantu, who had been in a coma before, woke up. He was shocked when he saw the scattered corpses in the courtyard and the collapsed temple. He then looked at his wife and daughter beside him. They were all safe and he breathed a sigh of relief. . Li Ke's figure also entered Ling Shan Tu's eyes, and he stood up quickly, "Is it the young master who has saved my Ling family? I am really grateful."
Seeing that he wanted to be grateful again, Li Ke stopped him quickly: "Okay, there is no need to say any more words of gratitude. Madam Ling and the two young ladies have already said too much."
Then the second daughter Ling Zhuwei told her father Ling Shantu what had just happened. Ling Shantu carefully looked at Li Ke in front of him, as if he had another thought.
"Young Master Li, your martial arts skills are astonishing. I have a heartless request. If you help me, my Ling family will be able to come back to life and return to Eling City. I will also thank you deeply." Lingshan Tu was full of gratitude. Said hopefully.
Li Ke looked at Ling Shantu in surprise, "Master Ling, I have saved your family's life and reputation. You should take this opportunity to find a place to settle down. Why are you so anxious to ask for my help?"
"Young master Li, I don't know, but I, Lingshan Tu, was originally the chief historian next to Hu Jin, the governor of Eling. Although it is a casual position, I have not been idle in these years. I have helped the governor deal with many difficult things. I also like to work with him on weekdays. Doing good deeds has a good reputation in Eling City. However, in recent years, due to his position, he has inadvertently learned about some of the interests between the governor Hu Jin and Sima Yan Zefa. However, he is old and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. This I offended them and was accused of embezzling military expenses. They also sent us to the border to become a homeless soldier, while my wife and daughter used it to reward the soldiers." The reason why Lingshan Tujiang's family ended up here. Report to Li Ke on May 10th.
After hearing this, Li Ke recalled the convenient conversation between the two at noon, and found that this matter was appropriate, but Li Ke still didn't want to cause more trouble, and just wanted to be alone and leisurely. Then he said: "Mr. Ling, although I, Li Ke, say that I am a chivalrous and righteous person, you have already been involved in the officialdom. As a person in the world, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to intervene. I advise the master to take his wife and miss him to find another way. Live the rest of your life in peace.”
"Alas, this matter is hard to explain. I wanted to ask the young master to help us return to Eling. It's a small matter, but the real embezzlement of military funds was actually the governor and Sima. At this time, the border guards were defending against foreign enemies, but these two people did such a thing , I really can’t let go of this old age.” Ling Shantu shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Ling Ziwei came over and faced Li Ke, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment, "Mr. Li Ke, what my father said is true. It was because he discovered their secret that he was framed like this. The harm to us is minor. But it would be a big deal if the soldiers at the border were harmed because of their interests. So I would like to ask you to take action and work with us to expose the ugly faces of the governor and Sima."
Li Ke looked at the weak Ling Ziwei in front of him speaking such righteous words, and suddenly felt that he was too small. When he was hesitating, Ling Zhuwei came up and grabbed Li Ke's sleeve playfully, "Handsome brother, please help us. Well, can you bear to let beautiful and weak girls like my sister and I live on the streets homeless?"
Li Ke's face turned red as he was being harassed. He gently took away Ling Zhuwei's hand on his sleeve and said, "That's all, I'll obey you. However, this matter is not a trivial matter and needs to be considered in the long term. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to you all to alert the snake. I think The most important thing right now is to dispose of the corpses in the hospital first, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with this matter if someone discovers it."
Everyone was happy when they saw Li Ke agreed. Ling Shantu said: "Master Li Ke is right. The corpses in the hospital must be disposed of before we can carry out our plan in secret."
Ling Zhuwei looked at the corpses with a look of disgust on her face, and said delicately: "How to deal with so many corpses? There is so much disgusting blood."
Ling Ziwei looked at the sword mark left in the courtyard, but said to her sister: "How long has it been? If you still don't like this or that, I will throw them into the sword mark of Mr. Li Ke." Well, anyway, such a big and deep one is more than enough to put the corpse."
Li Ke also agreed. After a group of people immediately threw the bodies of the Seven Eling Hegemons into the sword marks, Li Ke asked everyone to step back and smashed the earth walls on both sides with one sword. The earth and stone instantly The sword pit is filled.
At this time, Ling Zhuwei looked at the sword pit that had been filled up and said proudly: "Let's see if you are still arrogant. The Seven Hegemons of Eling have now become the earthly bastards."
Ling Ziwei stopped her sister in time, "Zhu Wei, don't talk nonsense, be careful of losing your sense of proportion in front of Mr. Li."
Seeing this, Li Ke said: "It doesn't matter, Miss Ziwei is worrying too much. This girl Zhuwei is still young, and it is her nature to be lively and jumpy, so it doesn't matter."
"Who is younger? I am already sixteen years old. Besides, some people are two years older, but some things are not as old as others." Zhu Wei stepped forward with a look of dissatisfaction and puffed out her chest in front of Ziwei.
Ziwei's cheeks suddenly turned red due to this fuss. Li Ke said quickly: "It's getting late, let's rest in the forest as soon as possible, and we'll make long-term plans tomorrow."
