Seeing that Xia Yu was drenched in blood in order to save himself, Leng Shuangyan was very guilty and asked, "Are you okay?"

Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a little skin injury." ”

Liu Changsheng and Li Tie attacked the giant flower cat left and right, and the giant flower cat was alive and vigorous, without fear, and Liu Changsheng and Li Tie fought in the dark.

Leng Shuangyan was carrying the Ice Soul Knife and was about to go up to help in the battle, Xia Yu said, "Don't move, look at me." ”

One of Xia Yu's arms was injured by the giant cat, but the other arm could still move, he condensed his true qi, cast a blast wave, and hit the giant cat.

This Flame Blaster is a composite martial art that combines the martial arts of the Celestial Wound Star and the Geographic Star. The True Qi of the Heavenly Wound Star envelops the flames of the Geographical Star, and when it hits the enemy's (shēn), it has both the impact of the True Qi blast and the burning power of the fire, which can inflict great damage on the enemy.

(In "Water Margin", the Heavenly Wound Star is the Walker-Wu Song, and the Geographical Star is the Divine Fire General-Wei Dingguo)

The giant flower cat was fighting fiercely with Li Tie and Liu Changsheng, and suddenly, he saw several flames wrapped in true qi rushing towards him.

The giant cat sensed the power of the blast and wanted to run, but it was too late, and the blast exploded in the air, whirring and burning into a sea of fire.

The giant cat screamed, struggled a few times in the fire, emitted black smoke, and fell to the ground.

Li Tie wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and said, "This cat is all roasted with a fragrance, now it's time to die, right?"

The fire was extinguished, Liu Changsheng took a closer look, the giant flower cat burned into a piece of black charcoal, and said: "This kid should die, if he doesn't die, there will be no reason." ”

As soon as Liu Changsheng's words fell, a squirming sound sounded, Li Tie's eyes widened, looked down, and said, "Damn, it's really unreasonable." ”

I saw a giant flower cat burned into a piece of charcoal, and the black charcoal flakes on (shēn) peeled off one by one, revealing their shiny fur again, and came back to life.

Leng Shuangyan frowned and said, "What the hell is going on, there are such monsters in the world, and they can't be killed no matter how they are killed." ”

Xia Yu said: "I know, it's not that this cat can't be killed, but it has nine lives, let's kill it three lives now, and it still has six lives." ”

"Is this the Nine Lives Cat?" Li Tie, Liu Changsheng, and Leng Shuangyan were all taken aback, they had seen records about the Nine Lives Cat in the book, but in reality, this was the first time they had seen the Nine Lives Cat.

The Nine Lives Cat was fierce, and he had to fight with Xia Yu and them, at this time, a shout sounded in the distance, and the officers and soldiers were about to chase after them.

Xia Yu said: "We don't have time to waste this nine-life cat, let's go!"

Xia Yu took Li Tie, Liu Changsheng, and Leng Shuangyan to run into the distance, and the Nine Lives Cat barked to catch up.

Xia Yu turned around, raised his hands, and unleashed the skill of the Heavenly Killing Star, and a black whirlwind swept over and hit the Nine Lives Cat.

(In "Water Margin", the sky killing star is the black whirlwind-Li Kui)

The Nine Lives Cat barked, trapped by the black whirlwind, blowing it so wobbling, unable to open its eyes and unable to stand on its feet.

After a while, the black whirlwind stopped, and the Nine Lives Cat opened its eyes to see that Xia Yu and the others had fled, and they had escaped without a trace, so angry that it jumped like thunder.

Xia Yu and Li Tie, Liu Changsheng, and Leng Shuangyan were like headless flies, running around in Weidao City, running and running, and they would be in front

A group of officers and soldiers appeared, and there were officers and soldiers everywhere, as if they had fallen into a net.

Xia Yu stopped, took a few breaths, turned his brain, and thought about how to deal with it.

Liu Changsheng said: "Otherwise, we will fight with them, kill all these officers and soldiers, and then go to capture Wande." ”

Leng Shuangyan said: "There are many officers and soldiers, and it is difficult for the strength of the four of us to kill them all." ”

Li Tie said: "What if we don't kill them? There are officers and soldiers everywhere, and we have nowhere to run." ”

Xia Yu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a good way, he could go to the sky and the earth alone, galloping vertically and horizontally, but if he wanted to take Li Tie, Liu Changsheng, and Leng Shuangyan with his three companions, there was no way.

Xia Yu was so anxious that he patted his head.

At this time, Li Tie felt that there was someone behind him, he clenched the steel knife, turned it violently, and shouted: "Who?!"

Li Tie's eyes widened, and a girl appeared behind him (shēn), the girl was very calm, and was not frightened by Li Tie's vicious appearance, and said, "You come with me, and I will take you away." ”

Xia Yu didn't recognize this girl, and asked, "Girl, who are you, and where are you going to take us?"

The girl said, "My name is Lan Qi, and I am here to help you, believe me. ”

Xia Yu thought about it for a while, and said to Li Tie, Liu Changsheng, and Leng Shuangyan: "Let's follow Miss Lan." ”

Although Xia Yu still doesn't know Lan Qi, he feels that Lan Qi should not be Wande's subordinate, if Lan Qi is Wande's subordinate, there is no need to use this kind of fraudulent means to deal with Xia Yu and them, the net has been laid, and Xia Yu and them can be hunted and killed directly, so why bother?

Xia Yu, Li Tie, Liu Changsheng, and Leng Shuangyan followed Lan Qi's (shēn), and Lan Qi led the four of them to knock on a back door and come to a small courtyard.

Xia Yu took a look, this small courtyard was a temple, and Lan Qi took them into the big (diàn), and the big (diàn) enshrined a statue of Nuwa Niangniang.

There were no pilgrims in this temple, only an elderly temple zhu, who stood at the door to control the wind, and let Lan Qi and Xia Yu enter the big (diàn).

Lan Qi came to the back of the statue of Nuwa Niangniang, pressed a mechanism, and a door opened on the back of the statue.

"It's so amazing," Xia Yu's eyes widened and he said.

Lan Qi first got into the door, then waved his hand at Xia Yu and the others, and said, "Follow me, come in." ”

Xia Yu, Li Tie, Leng Shuangyan, and Liu Changsheng followed Lan Qi's (shēn) and rushed in, and after they all entered, Miao Zhu pressed the mechanism again, and the secret door was closed again.

"It's so dark," Xia Yu shouted.

As soon as the secret door was closed, it was pitch black all around, and they couldn't see their five fingers, Xia Yu and Li Tie not only tensed their nerves, but also spread their mental power and increased their vigilance.

Lan Qi at the front took out a fire fold and shone a little light, Xia Yu and the others took advantage of the faint light to find themselves in a narrow secret passage, which built countless steps and went straight underground.

There were torches on the walls of the secret passage, and Lan Qi lit one to light it and said, "Be careful, follow me down." ”

Xia Yu and Li Tie felt that Lan Qi had no malicious intent, so the vigilance in their hearts slowly relaxed, and they followed Lan Qi down.

After walking dozens of meters, Xia Yu suddenly opened up in front of them, and an open field appeared, which was a basement.

earth

There were gauze bags hanging from the ceiling of the lower room, and there was a little ghost light in the gauze bags, which were cow fireflies.

The cow firefly is an insect in the Kyushu continent that is the size of a fingernail and glows brightly in the dark. Some poor families could not afford to light oil lamps and candles, so they went to the wild to catch some cow fireflies, wrapped them in breathable and translucent gauze, and raised them for lighting.

This cow firefly is extremely tenacious, wrapped in gauze, fed with some leaves, weeds, it can live for a year.

Through the light of the cow fireflies, Xia Yu saw a group of men, this group of men (shēn) were tall and strong, full of spirit, and they were all warriors.

The men looked at Xia Yu and Li Tie, and no one spoke.

Lan Qi extinguished the torch and said to the men, "They were rescued by me from outside, and Wande's minions are chasing them. ”

Lan Qi pointed to the men again and said to Xia Yu: "They are all my companions. ”

"Thank you, girl, for coming to the rescue," Xia Yu bowed to Lan Qi and bowed to those men.

The men returned the salute.

Lan Qi asked Xia Yu, "Who are you, why are Wande's minions chasing you?"

Xia Yu said: "The four of us are outsiders, and it is the first time we have come to Weidao City, and we don't know what's going on, and when we walk on the street, the officers and soldiers will arrest us." ”

Leng Shuangyan added: "They said I was a woman and shouldn't show my face. ”

Lan Qi said, "The first time you came to Guardian City, you don't know about the situation of Guardian City. In the past, our city was not called Weidao City, it was called Qingshui City, after Wande became the lord of the city, he changed the name of the city, and then promulgated the "Moral Education Regulations", everyone must abide by this regulation, and those who violate the regulations will be whipped lightly, and those who will be stoned to death. ”

Xia Yu frowned and asked, "What does Wande stipulate?"

Lan Qi said: "Wande stipulates a lot of things, no drinking, no gambling, no tongji (jiān), no listening to entertainment, no slander against the government, etc., etc., etc., a lot of things are not allowed. ”

Xia Yu sneered and said, "I think only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps." ”

Lan Qi said: "Wande has made a lot of regulations for women, and women are not allowed to show their heads. ”

Leng Shuangyan said: "That woman can only stay at home for the rest of her life and can't go out?"

Lan Qi said: "Women can also go out, but they must sit in a sealed sedan chair and not let any man see them. ”

"There are such perverted rules," Xia Yu frowned when he heard this.

Lan Qi said: "Wande stipulates that a man can have three wives and four concubines, and a woman can only serve one man in her life, and if she has an affair with a man other than her husband, she will either be stoned to death or burned to death. If the wife dies, the husband can still live, and when the husband dies, the wife will be buried with him. If a man rapes a woman, the man will be fined ten taels of silver, and the woman will be directly executed. ”

"Wait a minute," Xia Yu interrupted Lan Qi's words with a wave of his hand, and said, "A man raped a woman, why should a woman be executed?"

Lan Qi said: "Wande's explanation is that if a woman loses her chastity (cāo), there is no meaning in living. ”

"I (cāo), this Wande is really a pervert of perverts," Li Tie said.

Xia Yu said: "Wande regards women as men's accessories, and in his eyes, women are not people, but just men's objects." Hey, this Wande, is it a man or a woman?"
