Hearing Li Zhongyong's shout, Chen Liqiu and Takeda Mayumi got on their horses at the same time, and Batulu and Changsheng also jumped on the carriage one after another.
"Third brother, follow my car and clear the way." Li Zhongyong shook his reins and spurred his horse, rushing out. "Fourth brother, you take the lead."
The incident happened suddenly. Before the ambush in the dark could react, everyone had already rushed out of the valley and reached the wider rural road to the east.
There was a group of horses tied under a tree on the west side of the rural road, numbering no less than twenty. There was only a man dressed as a warrior around the horses to feed and guard them. Seeing the crowd rushing out, he did not dare to step forward to stop them, so he turned around and headed for the woods. run.
Seeing the horses, Li Zhongyong hurriedly reined in and turned around, "Third and fourth, take all the horses away."
Hearing Li Zhongyong's words, Chen Liqiu also stepped aside and shouted to Batulu, "Boss, you go first."
Batulu did not hesitate, shook the reins and urged the horse, and the carriage sped southward with billowing smoke and dust.
Batulu was very proud and didn't want to cry in front of Changsheng. However, he was so sad that he couldn't restrain himself. While shouting and urging the horse, he frequently raised his sleeves to wipe his tears.
Changsheng was sitting in the passenger seat on the right side, looking westward under the moonlight. It turned out that there were indeed a large number of ambushes hidden around the bamboo forest. The dark crowds were running towards the direction of the people from the southwest, due west, and northwest.
Li Zhongyong and the other three were unbridling their horses in the woods. Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer to them, Chang Sheng urgently warned, "Second Senior Brother, hurry up, they are coming."
Hearing Changsheng's cry, Li Zhongyong improvised, drew out his long sword and cut off the reins of the horses, and then slashed the horses' butts with the sword. The horses were frightened in pain and immediately screamed and ran away.
The three men let some of the horses go and caught up with the carriage with the remaining dozen or so horses.
Seeing the three men following up with the horses, Batulu turned around and looked back, confirming that the pursuers were chasing the frightened horses in the distance and could not catch up in a short time, so he slowed down slightly, and together with Changsheng helped the three men snatch them away. The horses were tied to the left and right shafts of the carriage.
Everyone was sad, and no one said anything. They rode their horses in the dark night and galloped wildly.
After half a stick of incense, everyone turned onto the official road and turned around to look back, but there was no trace of the pursuers.
Seeing a fork in the road ahead, Li Zhongyong turned around and said to Batulu, "Boss, let's not go back the way we came. We should take another path."
Batulu responded to the sound of the urn, pulled the reins, and followed Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu into the east fork.
Changsheng was sitting in the passenger seat on the right side. Needless to say, he felt sad. In addition, he also felt inexplicable emptiness and loss. Especially when he looked back and saw that the car was empty, his heart felt extremely sad. Daochang Lin was the backbone of everyone, and now This backbone is no longer there.
After confirming that it was safe for the time being, Li Zhongyong and others dismounted from their horses and took a ride. One of the reasons was to preserve their physical strength. Another reason was that they had half a volume of medical books with them. These ancient books from hundreds of years ago are easily weathered and damaged by the wind. , the contents must be written down as soon as possible.
But after turning the pages of the book, everyone was dumbfounded. The book was full of small print. Each page had at least hundreds of words, and there were many unfamiliar drug names in it. Not to mention the current critical situation, it was quiet. It would probably take ten and a half days to recite it calmly in such an environment.
"Lao Wu, I'm not interested in these things, here you go." Chen Liqiu gave Changsheng half of his medical book.
"It's useless for me to ask for it, so I'll give it to you." Batulu threw in his half of the roll.
Although Chang Sheng has the ability to remember things, he is sad and troubled and finds it difficult to calm down. "You all give it to me, how can I remember it in a hurry."
"These volumes of books are not very moist, and the writing will not be lost or lost in a short period of time." Li Zhongyong said and took the two volumes of medical books from Changsheng's hand.
Just when Chang Sheng was relieved, he discovered that Li Zhongyong did not want to take away the medical book, but just to confirm the upper and lower volumes. After reading them one by one, he handed over two more volumes, "Lao Wu, these are the upper and lower volumes of Qianjin Yifang. Please accept them." On."
After Li Zhongyong finished speaking, he handed the half volume in his hand to Takeda Mayumi, "Fourth, this is the second volume of Qian Jin Yaofang, and it is a complete volume with the first volume in your hand."
"Second Senior Brother, this is what Master left for you." Takeda Mayumi shook his head.
"I'll give it to you." Li Zhongyong put the medical book into Takeda Mayumi's hand, "I also heard some of the previous conversation between you and the master. You are right. No matter whether you are a Chinese or not, we are all brothers and sisters. Fellow disciple."
Takeda Mayumi was moved, holding the medical book and bowing his head in silence.
After taking a short breath, Li Zhongyong said, "Accidents may happen at any time, and we may be separated at any time. I have to tell you something. In order to buy time for us, Master used the Five Thunder Technique to burn them together. Even if the two boxes If it is not destroyed by thunder, it will be burned by mountain fire, so the world will think that those martial arts secret books have been destroyed in the sea of fire."
Li Zhongyong paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course they won't give up on chasing us, but they can't be sure that the martial arts secrets are still with us, so they won't mobilize troops and search for us for a long time, so as long as they We have overcome this hurdle before us, and we can hide our capabilities and bide our time in the future.”
"Second brother, you have ignored two details." Chen Liqiu said.
When Li Zhongyong turned to look at him, Chen Liqiu said, "The boss let it slip before. Hua Nun already knows that he practices the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill. As long as one of those four people is still alive, the world will know that we students They all have peerless martial arts, and even if there are no other secrets, they will not give up looking for us."
After Chen Liqiu finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Chen Liqiu added, "Also, Song Bao is worthy of being the second shopkeeper of Taiping Inn. He is well-informed and knows the magic weapons and treasures. He has discovered that your sword is not ordinary. If he is not dead, he will definitely not let it go. you."
"Third senior brother, where is Taiping Inn?" Changsheng asked in confusion.
"It is a place where rare treasures can be easily exchanged and treasures are bought and sold," Chen Liqiu said. "As long as it is a rare treasure, they want it and they can afford the price. Every six months they will hold a huge bidding auction at the Taiping Inn. It is said that they have strong financial resources and are given face by both black and white, and some people speculate that they have the support of the imperial court.”
After Chen Liqiu finished speaking, Li Zhongyong took over, "The reason why Master took out those martial arts secret books from the grave when he was still alive was not to hoard them, but because he couldn't bear that the skills and hard work of our ancestors would be lost, and now those ten Of the eight secrets, the third and I each memorized four, and the fourth and fifth each memorized five. We cannot practice these magical skills on our own, and can only teach others. If the sect to which the tomb owner belongs is still alive, and he is good at it. The way of light, we can silently write down the secrets and give them to them. Firstly, the original jade can be returned to Zhao to make up for our fault of disturbing the dead, and secondly, these martial arts skills can be passed down."
"Most of the secrets we got were from thousands of years ago, and there are not many sects that continue to this day." Chen Liqiu shook his head.
"Second Senior Brother, if the sect to which the tomb owner belongs is still there, their martial arts skills should also be there." Changsheng said.
Li Zhongyong shook his head and said, "Otherwise, most people who practice martial arts have the problem of hiding their own secrets. The master knows ten moves, but he often only passes on nine moves to his disciples. In this way, the skills are passed down less and less, and eventually they are lost."
"Oh." Changsheng nodded and asked, "If the sect to which the master of the secret belongs no longer exists, can we pass it on to a good person with good conduct?"
"Yes, but this is exactly what I am worried about," Li Zhongyong shook his head and said, "Because we are not necessarily accurate in judging people. If we entrust someone to a bad person, we will not make up for our mistakes and save the world, but will help the tyrants to do harm and harm the country and the people. .”
"Second Senior Brother, don't worry, we won't talk nonsense or spread rumors." Changsheng said.
"Well, you must keep the secret. Being loose-spoken is the easiest way to do bad things." Li Zhongyong said.
"Boy, you are scolding a bald donkey in front of a monk," Batulu, who was driving the car, felt aggrieved. "I didn't mean it. It was the nun who was making nonsense, saying what kind of bison I was training... huh?" "
"What's wrong?" Chen Liqiu asked eagerly.
"There is a large group of beggars at the intersection ahead," Batulu said.
"Are they victims of the disaster or disciples of the Beggar Clan?" Chen Liqiu asked again.
Batulu has spiritual energy cultivation and can see clearly, "There are people with knives, they should be from the Beggar Clan."
"Why so fast?" Li Zhongyong was quite surprised.
"Have you forgotten that the beggar gang will release pigeons?" Batulu said.
Hearing Batulu's words, Li Zhongyong suddenly understood and waved to Chen Liqiu and Takeda Mayumi. The three of them hurriedly got out of the carriage, regained their strength, left the carriage and changed horses...
