No one present expected that the bandit would suddenly scream and shout, and they were all deeply surprised. What surprised everyone in the caravan was that there was actually a secret book hidden in the wooden box. What surprised everyone on our side was that this gangster could actually read. Previously, Daoist Master Lin had explicitly requested that the person inspecting the area not be able to read. There was no doubt that the other party did not abide by the agreement.
Seeing the culprit trying to grab the secret book in the box, Chen Liqiu immediately closed the box and almost crushed the man's hand because he moved so fast.
"What are you doing? We haven't seen it clearly yet." The gangster eagerly withdrew his hand.
"You don't keep your word, you know how to read." Chen Liqiu scolded angrily.
"I have never studied, and I only know a few simple characters," the gangster argued. "If I don't know the Six Classics of History, how can I be considered literate?"
"You even know the Six Classics of History, but you still dare to say that you are illiterate?" Chen Liqiu immediately exposed it.
If the bandits were not rogue, everyone on our side might regard the sudden change as an accident. However, since this person knows the Six Classics of History, it means that he is not only literate, but also familiar with it. You must know that most people nowadays are not For those who can read, it can be seen that Zhong Agen sent this person to participate in the inspection with ulterior motives.
When Chen Liqiu was arguing with the gangster, Li Zhongyong looked at Taoist Lin anxiously, "Master?"
"Since I've said it first, let's open the box and let them see clearly." Lin Daozhang said calmly.
"Master, they clearly know how to read." Chen Liqiu interrupted anxiously.
"We only need to prove that the Dian King's Jade Seal is really not in our hands." Lin Daochang said.
It could be seen that neither Li Zhongyong nor Chen Liqiu wanted to open the wooden box again, but since Director Lin had spoken, they could only open the wooden box again and show the contents to the two gangsters.
"As the saying goes, there is no establishment without trust. I hope you will keep your word and don't break your word and get fat." Li Zhongyong said.
"That's natural, that's natural." The other party said casually.
Tian Zhengong was as attentive as a hair, and realized that all the two people could see were the words on the secret book, so he walked to Taoist Lin and said softly, "Master, they are clearly here for the secret book. What happened today, It will be hard to do well.”
"The people here are not good. They are so numerous. If they really attack, we will definitely suffer a loss..." Taoist priest Lin lowered his voice when he said this. "After I take action, you immediately use the pretense of breaking out and deploy the Five Elements Formation on all sides. Surround them all."
After hearing what Lin Daozhang said, Tian Zhengong nodded gently, turned around and walked towards Batulu who was leaning under the tree.
Changsheng was very close to Taoist Lin and listened to the entire conversation between Taoist Lin and Tian Zhengong. The first half of Taoist Lin's words was to paralyze the caravan, but the second half of the sentence in a lowered voice was his true thoughts. The fact that they had secrets had already been known to the caravan. , once the news leaks out, there will be endless troubles. If you want to prevent the troubles, you must keep everyone in the caravan.
"Let's finish reading. We don't have the jade seal you mentioned." Chen Liqiu closed the wooden box angrily.
"Indeed not." The gangster turned and walked towards Zhong Ageng.
Changsheng thought that when the two passed by Taoist Lin, Taoist priest Lin would take action to keep them, but he never thought that Taoist priest Lin did not take action, but let the two of them cross the stream and return to Zhong Ageng.
After the two returned, they rushed to Zhong Ageng and said something. Due to the distance, they could not hear the specific words, but the excitement and excitement were clearly written on the faces of the caravan.
"Gang Leader Zhong, I have never seen the Jade Seal of the King of Dian you mentioned. Now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, in the future, the road will turn to the sky, and we will each go half way." Lin Taoist Master said.
"It is true that the jade seal is not in your hands, and Zhong is not a person who breaks his word. This matter is over," Zhong Ageng changed the subject at this point, "But the Heavenly Silkworm Magic is a thing from the ancestors of our caravan, you have to Hand it over."
Zhong Agen's tone was very tough. The reason why he became so tough was because he heard the first half of the conversation between Lin Daozhang and Tian Zhengong, and because everyone on his side was willing to open the wooden box and accept their search in order to clear the suspicion. , which made Zhong Ajie think that they were timid and cowardly.
"We don't have the Heavenly Silkworm Magic," Taoist Master Lin said.
"The ancient seal header on the bundle of purple-red bamboo slips clearly says "Celestial Silkworm Divine Art." said the bandit who had previously inspected the wooden box.
"You are wrong." Lin Daochang said expressionlessly.
Changsheng didn't know what the Tiancan Magic Technique was, but the excitement on Zhong Agen's face could not be concealed. As the saying goes, sharpness makes the mind faint. In the face of the huge temptation, Zhong Agen even lost his patience with hypocrisy and vomited out. He kept chewing the red thing in his mouth, squinting coldly, with a ferocious expression on his face, "Don't toast or eat as a penalty, hand over the Heavenly Silkworm Magic Art immediately."
"I told you, they were wrong, we don't have the Heavenly Silkworm Magic," Taoist Master Lin said calmly.
"Gang leader, don't waste any time talking to him," a minion said from the side, "Let's go together and get our secret book back."
"That makes sense," Zhong Ajie pulled out the scimitar from his waist, "Brothers, follow me."
Before Zhong Agen finished speaking, people had already rushed out. Seeing the leader take action, the rest of the people immediately followed him, with their swords unsheathed and rushing over from all directions.
Seeing the enemy rushing over with a ferocious look, Taoist Lin swung his whisk and took the lead in attacking Zhong Agen. Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu moved the wooden box to the tree where Batulu was, and separated the left and right to stop the enemy.
Changsheng had no weapons, so he could only pick up stones and throw them randomly. At a glance, he found Chen Liqiu's baggage not far away, so he ran over and picked it up before the enemy rushed over.
As soon as Changsheng picked up Chen Liqiu's baggage, he was caught by Tian Zhengong. Before he could react, Tian Zhengong threw him towards Li Zhongyong.
Li Zhongyong swung his sword to force one of the gangsters back, then freed his hand to catch Changsheng, "Stay here, don't run around."
Seeing that there were enemies all around, Chang Sheng didn't bother to respond, so he hurriedly picked up rocks from the ground and threw them to help. He often threw rocks on weekdays and was quite accurate. Although he couldn't do it alone, he could help Li Zhongyong and Chen The Beginning of Autumn picks up the missing pieces and fills in the gaps.
While dealing with the enemy, Changsheng was distracted and looked at Taoist Lin. At this time, Taoist Lin was dealing with Zhong Agen. Zhong Agen was wielding a scimitar to slash horizontally and vertically. His moves were very fierce, and a crowd of people surrounded the two of them. Encircling the bandits who were waiting for an opportunity to attack, Taoist Lin waved his fly whisk and moved around. Although his moves were not as fierce as Zhong Ageng's, he advanced and retreated calmly, and he was able to fight against many without appearing embarrassed.
Everyone in the caravan knows that Daoist Lin is a strong enemy, and at the moment Daoist Lin is fighting against Zhong Ageng. These gangsters all hope to help their leader capture Daoist Lin, so that they can drain their salary, and secondly, they can claim credit in front of the leader. Performance.
Driven by this mentality, most of those who were good at martial arts gathered around Taoist Lin. This move indirectly reduced the pressure on Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu. The two of them split up to deal with the enemy, barely able to stabilize their position.
There were not many stones under the tree, and Chang Sheng soon ran out of stones to pick up. When he saw Baturu struggling to get up with a copper stick, he grabbed the copper stick and replaced him.
Changsheng guessed that the copper stick was heavy, but he did not expect that it weighed forty or fifty kilograms. He was so weak and thin that he could not swing it with one hand and could only hold it with both hands to help Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu resist the enemy's defense.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Due to the large number of people in the caravan, someone on our side soon suffered a loss. It was none other than Chang Sheng. Someone in the caravan secretly fired a cold arrow from the dark. Chang Sheng was unprepared and shot a short featherless arrow. A direct shot to the left shoulder.
Changsheng's strength was not very strong. After his left arm was injured, he could not swing the heavy copper stick immediately, so he could only drag the copper stick back to the tree.
Chen Liqiu, who was facing the enemy, noticed that Chang Sheng was injured. He looked back with concern. When he was distracted, the enemy seized the opportunity and swung his scimitar, leaving a long bloody gash on his chest.
Seeing that Chen Liqiu and Changsheng were injured, Li Zhongyong became extremely anxious. He swung his sword sharply and temporarily forced the enemy back.
"Third brother, fifth child, how are you?" Li Zhongyong asked nervously. Except for Batulu and Changsheng, the others all had family members. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone did their best when walking in the rivers and lakes. If possible, don't call each other by their full name, just address them by their seniority.
Chen Liqiu did not reply, but gritted his teeth and swung the shovel to knock down a bandit who rushed forward.
"I'm fine." Changsheng said with a trembling voice.
"Pain or itching and numbness?" Li Zhongyong asked eagerly.
Facing the enemy in front of the battle, and outnumbered, there was no way to distract him. Before Chang Sheng could reply, he discovered that the bandit who had secretly fired the cold arrow before was aiming his crossbow at Li Zhongyong again.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng hurriedly shouted a warning, "Second brother, be careful!"
Before Changsheng finished speaking, the crossbow-wielding bandit had a scimitar on his forehead. The scimitar was the weapon of the caravan. How could it be inserted into one of their own heads?
After looking around anxiously, Changsheng suddenly realized that it was Taoist Lin who had snatched the scimitar from the bandits and thrown it out.
Seeing that Taoist Lin was trapped in a tight siege, Chang Sheng was puzzled. Since Taoist Lin still had some strength left, why didn't he kill Zhong Ageng in one go? As long as he killed Zhong Agen, the enemies would be leaderless.
However, after thinking about it, Chang Sheng understood the reason. If Lin Daozhang really killed Zhong Agen, the gangsters from the caravan would disperse. Once they fled, everyone on his side would not be able to keep them all behind. , The reason why Taoist Lin kept stalling for time and did not kill immediately was because he was waiting for Tian Zhenyong to set up a formation to trap all the bandits.
Chang Sheng was injured and could no longer participate in the battle to help, but he did not want to stand idly by, so he began to count the number of enemies by the light of torches. At this time, all the enemies appeared. There were twenty-seven people in the distance and near, five of them. The man had been injured and fell to the ground, not knowing whether to live or die.
Just when he counted the number of enemies, Changsheng noticed raindrops falling from the sky. Just when he mistakenly thought it was raining, he found that the raindrops falling on his head and face were a little fishy.
When I looked up, I was almost mad. It turned out that it was not raining, but that naughty monkey jumped from other treetops to the tree where everyone was, and was peeing under the tree.
Since the monkey was at a high place, Chang Sheng could not do anything even though he was angry. However, by chance, he suddenly discovered an arrow and crossbow not far away, which was left by the bandit who had been hacked to death with a machete earlier.
Arrows and crossbows were not uncommon at this time. Changsheng recognized the arrows and crossbows and found that the arrows and crossbows had been strung. Seeing the opportunity, he endured the pain and rushed out to pick up the arrows and crossbows.
At this time, the monkey was jumping and screaming triumphantly on the tree. Changsheng grabbed the crossbow in his hand and immediately pulled the trigger at the monkey. The short arrow flew out quickly and hit the monkey's head impartially.
Just as the monkey fell from the tree, Tian Zhenyong's call came from the distance, "Master, the formation has been deployed..."
