The mountain temple has no incense for a long time, there is an old tree in front of the door, the dead leaves fall with the wind, and a path that has been stepped out around is surrounded by withered yellow weeds.

The two or three Taoist officials were all slightly injured, walking on the way to fetch water, holding a gourd in their hands, Zhang Ling was even darker, and there was a bandaged wound on his body.

The water of the stream was very clear, the water stones were washed round and rolling, and several people in the rain took the water and drank it, washed their faces, filled the gourd, and sat on the shore temporarily and looked into the distance, without speaking.

A gust of wind blew, the rain was fierce, and there was a shudder, and the two Taoist officials glanced at each other, one in his thirties, who seemed to have a slightly higher status, and said: "My lord, we have five more colleagues killed this time, and now there are only six left, which is seventy percent!"

"If we keep going, even if we have a good foundation, we won't have much time to live, and this will obviously consume us again and again, my lord. ”

"Stop, this is a mountain temple, don't let people hear it, we are Taoist officials of the imperial court. Zhang Ling said scoldingly.

"Your Excellency is too careful. A Taoist official in his twenties, named Shang Xiang, gritted his white teeth and said: "This mountain god is obscene, and he doesn't even give a plaque, it's nothing more than a wild god, can he hear us talk?"

"Even if you listen to it, can you still report us?"

"My lord, we started with more than a dozen people, and we added two times in the middle, there are always more than thirty people, and now they are all about to die, and we have been fighting again and again, and our mana and energy are exhausted, if we continue like this, we will definitely die, and the Daolu Division will be greatly injured. ”

At the "whoosh" stream, a small fish jumped out of the water and landed on the surface of the water, setting off a circle of ripples, Zhang Ling glanced at Shang Xiang and sighed in his heart.

Shang Xiang has a small family, and a younger brother died, and now he is almost alone, silent, reached out and touched his arm, and he was also stabbed in his arm, the wound was not shallow, only the wound was cleaned, and he was reluctant to repair it with mana, and sighed for a long time: "But we can't retreat." ”

"The assassination of enemy generals is obviously beneficial to the imperial court, which has a great righteousness. ”

"Pei Ziyun didn't ask us to fight directly, but basically went up alone, we are only responsible for logistics and intelligence, what can we say?"

"And they want us to stare at it and record the whole process. ”

Speaking of which, the three people present were all silent, this was the helplessness of the Taoist official, his net worth and even the Taoist law were pinched in the hands of the Shangguan, and a Shangguan who did not pass the law could be deprived of the spell with a scolding.

Usually eats the imperial court, and when it is critical, he can't help himself. Sometimes you have to go to death if you sacrifice your life, you don't have to die, the whole family dies together, this is the system and the court!

At this time, it was gradually getting into the night, and under the cool breeze and cold rain, Zhang Ling said again: "If you want to retreat, you are deserters, not only will we die, but the whole family will be punished." ”

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly: "Accept your fate! Otherwise, what else can I do?"

The three of them lowered their heads, only to see Shang Xiang gritting his teeth, revealing resentment, and suddenly clenched his fists.

Mountain Temple

The spiders on the eaves had made webs, and under the idol of the god lay an incense burner, which was already dilapidated, with traces of water flowing through it.

There was straw in one corner, and the little girl sat trembling at this time, looking at the hare that was roasting from time to time, and exuding the fragrance.

The beggar smelled the taste, took a deep breath, cut a small piece on the rabbit with a portable knife, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then got up and offered the roast rabbit to Pei Ziyun.

Pei Ziyun ate and said: "Although there is only a little salt, the meat tastes good." ”

"What's your name?"

"Luo Cheng. The beggar responded, with respect, his face yellow and muddy, and his only eyes were resolute.

Huh, this name is a little familiar, Pei Ziyun has become an earth immortal, he will never forget it, his mind moves, he searches for his memory, and his heart moves soon.

After looking at it, the beggar was actually fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was wandering outside and had no nutrition, so he looked thin.

According to the memory of his previous life, this person was adopted by a noble person very early, and soon soared, and it was rumored to be in the ears of the original owner, although it was only occasional, I am afraid that even the original owner did not remember where he had heard of it, but it could be rumored that he was a nobleman.

"It's just that according to rumors, this son should have met a noble person last year, why is he still a beggar now?" Pei Ziyun tore the rabbit meat, hesitated, and understood when the thought flashed.

"It seems that it is the butterfly effect of oneself that has changed history, and this son has missed the nobleman. But now that Pei Ziyun is now, he doesn't care much at all, and just as he wants to speak, several Taoist officials came in with gourds in their hands at this time, put the gourd on the ground, took out the dry food in his arms, and handed the beef over: "Zhenjun, please eat." ”

Pei Ziyun stroked his hand, cut the rabbit into several pieces, everyone divided it, and said to the little beggar and the little girl: "Since it is in the temple, give a share." ”

"Xie Zhenjun. Although the little beggar didn't understand what Zhenjun meant, he could also understand that Pei Ziyun was a big man, and he pulled the little girl in the distance over, and both of them sat on the hay and got a share of the beef jerky.

A group of people used the water, Pei Ziyun's ears moved slightly, he heard the movement, he was unmoved at the moment, and then ate, only the speed was much faster, and he threw the beggar a silver medal, a piece of silver, and a bag of dry food: "You hide behind the statue, there is a secret room there, don't come out, you can go to Yingzhou afterwards, go to Liujin Island, with this silver medal, someone will take you in." ”

As he spoke, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, and the faces of several Taoist officials changed, and they looked outside: "It's not good, it's King Lu's cavalry." ”

Pei Ziyun smiled, with a smile with a hint of coldness, and said: "I caught up again, it seems that King Lu is really angry, and he will hunt down at any cost." ”

Just listen to the sound of "click" and draw the sword, and a faint cold light appears in the temple.

Looking outside, I saw a line of cavalry, armed with crossbow knives, looking like fifty people, slowly surrounding, as the cavalry approached, in the low mountain forest, there were birds that were alarmed and flew into the distance.

"Zhenjun, fifty people, it seems that they are patrolling and have seen the mountain temple, so they have checked it. Zhang Ling looked at it, his face became more and more difficult to look at, and his heart beat faster and faster.

In fact, this is easy to understand, the village is too easy to leak rumors, the common people are the most snobbish race, even if a stranger is not guilty, he may kill a foreigner, let alone an ultimatum.

For the safety of the village, for the sake of the little benefits that may be there, I will definitely report to the official.

That being the case, the cavalry was inspecting the field stronghold—so the cavalry approached as soon as they saw the mountain temple.

"If the True Monarch was in his heyday, it would not be difficult to kill these fifty cavalrymen. ”

"But it is obvious that after repeated assassinations, Zhenjun is a little tired, and now this situation is dangerous. ”

Just as he was thinking, the horses' hooves outside became quiet, and the grass seemed to have the sound of someone coming in.

"The enemy has crossbows, and the field battle is unfavorable, we are fighting in the temple, everyone is ready, and once the enemy comes in, we will immediately surround and kill them. Pei Ziyun said coldly, and the rest of the Taoist officials all silently prepared the Dao method and drew their swords.

At this moment, Shang Xiang suddenly rushed out of the door and shouted: "Pei Ziyun is inside, I will abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”

This person doesn't want to die, and there is no one in his own family, since Pei Ziyun doesn't give him a way to live, let him die.

"Damn" Zhang Ling was furious, now that several people are together, this person betrayed Pei Ziyun, and he was going to let himself die, he originally had sympathy, but now he was only angry.

Seeing Shang Xiang rushing out, Pei Ziyun's face also flashed a trace of killing intent, but he didn't move, kicked his foot, and a firewood that was still burning flew out, like a sharp arrow, "poof" through Shang Xiang's back, and immediately fell to death.

"Ahh

The cavalry was in an uproar, the bow and crossbow were wound, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the team waved his hand, slowly retreated a few steps, and exhaled deeply: "Prepare the crossbow and set off fireworks!"

Immediately, someone in the armor made a move, and a red firework rushed into the sky and exploded.

"Team Zheng, should we kill it?" The deputy team was looking at the broken temple with a bright eye, King Lu said, kill Pei Ziyun, and immediately be promoted to the third level.

"We're just a team here, this person is really terrible, it's hard for fifty of us to go up and take it, it's just right to gather an army of fireworks, you dare to go up, it's a big deal, I'll ask you." The team said coldly.

The deputy team was listening to this, his breath was suffocated, his eyes were feverish, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and the team saw him soften, and said: "We just need to delay a little time, as soon as the army arrives, it will be a great achievement!"

A Taoist official leaned over the gap and looked outside, where a field of crossbow arrows was aimed, and there was a bonfire burning, and thick smoke was rising.

"Zhenjun, no, they didn't come in, and they lit fireworks and lit bonfires, as if they were reporting the news. The Taoist exclaimed.

Pei Ziyun closed his eyes slightly, listening to the voices outside: "There are more than fifty people outside, cavalry, wearing light armor, very cunning, and they don't come in at all." ”

In fact, this is also normal, in the past assassination, and pursuit, Pei Ziyun and the Taoist officials have mana, and their favorite thing is to lead to the narrow, unable to exert their troops, once in this environment, it is not difficult to kill dozens of armor soldiers, but the tactics are used too much, and the enemy is not a pig, so he will not be fooled, Pei Ziyun's eyes swept over several Taoist officials: "I kill it, do you still have mana?"

Zhang Ling's face was pale, and he looked at the crossbow with a cold light: "Zhenjun, we don't have much mana, we can still communicate, flash technique, there is no more." ”

"Okay, it's okay to have a flash technique, you use it, and I'll go out and kill. Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes, Shin-kun—Flash!"

In the gloomy rainy night, two white light spots appeared on the field, and the team reacted very quickly, only to see the white light, and immediately ordered: "Close your eyes and shoot the crossbow"

The soldiers immediately responded to the order, only to hear a "poof" sound that suddenly cut through the disturbing rainy night, and dozens of sharp whistlings fell, and the rain of arrows rushed into the temple gate.

But no one rushed out immediately, so the crossbow bolts shot into the walls and doors, and then the gate flew out and smashed straight over, and behind them, a figure pounced, the sword slashed, and the blood rushed, and the three soldiers in front of the top fell out before they could react.
