Zhao Ran raised the bridge curtain slightly, only to see four people coming in, standing in front of a woman, her voice was beautiful, like a valley yellow dog, but her appearance did not dare to compliment, and there was a big sarcoma on her forehead.
Behind her were two young men, supported by a man dressed in pale blue clothes, who was pale but elegant in appearance, and had the air of a scribe.
The woman spoke: "I'm waiting for a passer-by who missed the lodging and wants to spend the night in the Niangniang Temple, so I'm disturbed." ”
No one in the temple answered, and Zhaoran's heart was raised to his throat, and he only listened to the young man behind the woman: "Why bother with Runiang, Niangniang's temple is not opened by his family, we just have to go in." ”
"Really?" Wen Zhigeng's voice sounded in the temple, and he smiled indifferently, "I opened my mouth to invite, do you dare to come in?"
"Who are you?" the young man let go of the scribe with both hands, and pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword.
Ru Niang's face also changed greatly, and she took a few steps back and said in a low voice: "This person has a strong bloodline and is a master." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she only heard the temple door inside open, and Wen Zhigeng walked out and said coldly: "Useless nonsense." ”
"He has strong blood, but his blood is restrained and yin......! It is the beauty of Jinyi Wei Tu Wen. Ru Niang turned her head and glanced at the scribe guiltily, obviously feeling guilty for her own misjudgment.
Zhao Ran in the sedan car thought about the nickname of Wen Zhigeng, even if the first two words were extremely accurate, I was afraid that the latter word could not be wrong, and I couldn't help but secretly scream in my heart.
The scribe was relieved and said: "Okay, the blood and qi of the master can be collected and released freely, not to mention that there are many masters in Jinyi and Wei, and it is natural to make occasional mistakes." ”
Wen Zhigeng looked up and down at Runiang and said: "It seems that you are not a complete waste, if it is surrendered to me now, for the sake of how useful you are, I can spare your life." ”
The young man beside the scribe said angrily: "Who will surrender to a human butcher like you, a sinister villain!"
The scribe pressed the young man's hand: "I was ordered by the court to go to Nanjing to serve as the chief of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and I have a holy decree in my arms. ”
Wen Zhigeng sneered, and said slowly: "That's right......"
Zhao Ran heard Wen Zhigeng's snake-like sneer and knew that it was going to be bad, and sure enough, he only heard the wind howling in his ears, and a few points of blood were sprayed on the sedan curtain, and Rao is Zhaoran just crawled out of the grave and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Brother!" another young man shouted hoarsely.
Zhao Ran shook his head secretly, knowing that this Wen Zhigeng was a butcher in the world and a sinister villain, why didn't he take precautions for his sneak attack?
The young man wanted to rush forward, but Ru Niang looked nervous and said, "Don't move!
Wen Zhigeng looked at the long whip in his hand like a swimming snake and sneered: "If it weren't for that, how would I be talking nonsense with you." ”
The scribe looked at the dead guard on the ground and said with a sad face: "I am an official of the imperial court, how dare you do this to the people around me?"
"The national teacher has clearly calculated the reason why the world is full of demons, but you still dare to talk nonsense and confuse the heavens, it must be a collusion with heresy!
The scribe was sad and indignant: "What the national teacher said, the white tiger star is sheng, impacting the emperor's throne, and the world is full of demons." Prince Gengyin was born in the year, Xiao Hu, this is clearly a selfish intention, intended to be unfavorable to the East Palace. ”
Wen Zhigeng's face was expressionless: "So what? Since the East Palace is the source of the disaster, then it is necessary to clean up the source." ”
The scribe straightened his chest: "It's the wax moon, and the White Tiger Star is full of Biwu Xingsheng, and it only summons the rainy season to come, which is originally a common feeling, how can it be used as a basis for the demon to haunt." I, Jiang Lanyi, am the Qintian Supervisor, stargazing and pushing nothingness, but as a big husband, the Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the Monarch, Haoran Righteousness, how can I stand in nothingness!!"
Zhao Ran almost applauded in the sedan chair, and he felt that my generation was just doing the same to eliminate demons.
"Then let's die!" Wen Zhigeng said coldly.
----
The wooden door in the courtyard was broken, and a few people outside rushed in, and Zhaoran secretly opened a corner of the sedan curtain, and saw that it was Hemeng, but he didn't see the dog slave, and the dog slave didn't have the ability to come to the side, so he hid away and didn't come over.
He didn't dare to look more, put down the sedan curtain, there was a fierce battle outside, even with the sedan chair swaying left and right, Zhaoran sat in it as if he was in a fluttering boat, and finally "bang", the sedan chair overturned.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen hao fine silver needles "pounced" into the sedan chair, Rao is clear left and right dodge, the foot board was still hit a few times, the pain made him bared his teeth, only to hear the outside Wen Zhigeng also gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect you to hide such a hidden weapon in your hands, look down on you." ”
Zhao Ran endured the pain and got up and opened the sedan curtain slightly, only to see that Hemeng and them were lying on the ground outside, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, his impression of Hemeng and the others was still very good, and now seeing them dead, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
The voice of the mother Huang Zhu out of the valley sounded: "Lord Wen, if you retreat immediately, the poison on my cow hair needle is difficult to understand, how about we say goodbye?"
Wen Zhigeng seemed to hesitate for a moment: "So ......"
Zhao Ran hid behind the sedan chair and said "Be careful", the long whip in Wen Zhigeng's hand shot at the young guard, but his left hand stabbed at the scribe with a blade, seeing that the scribe's life was on the verge of death, Zhao Ran scratched his head in a hurry, thinking to himself how could these people not learn to be obedient?
In an instant, Runiang blocked the scribe, and the three of them stalemated in a horn posture.
It's just that Ru Niang and the young guard are obviously not Wen Zhigeng's opponents, the young guard's face is red, and the beads of sweat on his forehead keep rolling down, but Ru Niang is pale, her lips are pale and golden, and Wen Zhigeng's body, shoulders and arms are constantly squeezed out of silver needles, it seems that if he hadn't been distracted to discharge the poison needles, I was afraid that Ru Niang and the young guards would have died long ago.
Zhao Ran quietly crawled out of the upside-down sedan chair, and with a muffled snort, the short blade in Wen Zhigeng's hand stabbed into her abdomen, and Zhao Ran was shocked and touched something and knocked it on Wen Zhigeng's head, and when he knocked it up, he found that he was holding the half of the light and weightless token in his hand, and he couldn't help crying without tears.
Wen Zhigeng's eyes had already turned, and he said in a low voice: "It's you......"
Zhao Ran instinctively replied loudly: "It's not me!"
Wen Zhigeng saw that he was about to burst out, and Zhao Ran retreated in a panic, but in an instant, Wen Zhigeng fell to the ground, and his black hair faded into white hair at the speed of the naked eye, only to stunned Zhao Ran.
Jiang Lanyi over there had already retreated to the door with the support of the young man and Ru Niang, and Ru Niang walked to the door and turned back and shouted: "Chivalry, go quickly!"
Zhaoran listened to that sentence, where did he dare to stay, and followed Jiang Lanyi and them out of the Niangniang Temple in a hurry, and went down the steps and wanted to hear that Zhigeng didn't know if he was dead, and hesitated for a while and didn't dare to turn back to get his skin, and only said in his heart that he didn't want to be such a hateful skin.
Several people ran down the mountain, and the young guard looked at the dead guide and the horse on the ground, and said with an ugly face: "They killed the horse." ”
"It must have been the dog slave's doing. Zhao Ran said.
The young man squatted down and picked Jiang Lanyi on his back, looked back at Ru Niang, and hesitated slightly.
Runiang gave Jiang Lanyi a salute, and Jiang Lanyi hurriedly said: "Why did Runiang want to make this big gift." ”
"Ru Niang has a hard time talking about this matter, and I want to beg the adults to agree. ”
"You and I are like brothers and sisters, if you have anything to say, why do you need to salute. ”
"Ru Niang...... I'm afraid I can't follow the adults to Nanjing. ”
Jiang Lanyi seemed to be slightly surprised: "Why did Ru Niang say this." ”
Ru Niang said with a blushing face: "Ru Niang recently found a suitable person......
Jiang Lanyi pondered: "That's the case, then you will stay here, and after you settle down, remember to write to me." ”
Ru Niang said softly: "Yes." ”
The young guard put Jiang Lanyi on his back, Jiang Lanyi turned his head and glanced at Ru Niang, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he quickly turned his head, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the vast night like a whirlwind.
Ru Niang watched their backs disappear and then a mouthful of blood spit out, sighed clearly, Ru Niang gasped: "Thank you for this chivalrous help, I don't know if there is a place to thank Ru Niang." ”
Zhaoran tilted his head and thought for a while: "Do you have gold and silver on you?"
Ru Niang smiled, although she had a tumor on her forehead, but when she smiled at the moment, it made people look comfortable: "We have traveled a long way, and we don't have much gold and silver." ”
Zhao Ran was a little disappointed, Ru Niang took out a bag from the bag and handed it to him: "But bring some of this, I hope the chivalrous man will not dislike it." ”
Zhao Ran took the bag and saw that there were three pearls the size of a thumb inside, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Ru Niang coughed and said: "My master is Qin Tianjian Zheng, and the rich family will definitely be able to get a batch of 100 gold to ask him for approval, and if the chivalrous man is willing to escort him to Nanjing, he will definitely be able to thank him." ”
Zhaoran looked at her, shook his head like a rattle, thinking that he knew that you were seriously injured, but he abandoned you like a shoe, and you had to plan for him when you died.
Runiang's eyes showed a look of disappointment, as if she knew what Zhao Ran was thinking, she sat down slowly with the help of Shanshi, the brocade robe on her body spread out, revealing the dagger inserted in her belly, looking at the direction of Jiang Lanyi's distance, with softness in her eyes, she said: "I have been ugly since I was a child, and I have always been disgusted, and when I met the master, he had to take ......him in."
She said in a faint voice, and after a while, she seemed to open her eyes again: "The chivalrous man has offended Wen Zhigeng, and he needs to avoid it for a while, he has a dog slave, he is good at tracking, it is best to be able to go over the mountain and get out of the Shuntian Mansion, to go out of the Five Elements Mountain, the official road can not be walked, if you want to take the wild road, the chivalrous can go to the nearby Sanho Village to hire a guide......"
Zhaoran listened quietly, but Ru Niang gradually lost her voice, he looked carefully, and she was still looking ahead.
----
The fine snow fell from the top of the mountain, and when it reached the bottom of the valley, it was as hard as fine sand, and the snow hail hit the mountainside, making a crunchy sound, and rolled all the way.
Zhao Ran put Ru Niang flat, sat beside her with her knees crossed for a while, and then put half of the token in his hand on her forehead, thinking that he would go back to the grave and dig again to see if there was an old lady's human skin, if there was no human skin of the man, he could take it first.
It's just that after a puff of green smoke, all that is left on the ground is the skin of Ru Niang, and there is no flesh and bones.
Zhao Ran rolled up the human skin of Ru Niang, and then sorted out her things, in addition to the empty hidden bamboo pipe, there was also a white porcelain bottle, which contained more than a dozen pills, he smelled the fragrance of the medicine and couldn't help but move his heart, and turned back to the temple, which was silent, he tiptoed in, and then took out a few medicine blades, and the dead horse was a live horse doctor, and stuffed a pill in the mouth of each of them in Hemeng.
He got up and turned his head to see Wen Zhigeng lying on the ground, and a cloud-like silver hair behind him fluttered to the ground, and there was no sound.
He remembered that Wen Zhigeng wanted to put him to death, and couldn't help but be angry, walked over and turned Wen Zhigeng over, took off the shoes on his feet, and said with Wen Zhigeng's mouth: "You are an unfilial son, dare to beat your father, I am an ancestor of the future, how did your father give birth to such a little animal as you?"
He didn't care whether the sentence was logical or not, he slapped Wen Zhigeng more than a dozen times in a row, and couldn't help but squeeze his eyes and smile, he made an old skin, and this smile was like hundreds of folds on his face, only revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth.
Zhaoran was in a happy mood, picked up the human skin like a mother on the side, and walked out of the Niangniang Temple without looking back, and went down the mountain.
