144: Poison Scheme
"Chasing the wind and catching shadows" Guo Qiufeng is the youngest among the four head catchers. But the light skill is the highest, and none of the criminals targeted by him have ever been able to escape pursuit. Best at using a three-chucked stick. The green forest in the land of Yan Zhao is strong, and when he hears the name of "Thirty-six Strikes of Chasing Souls", he will be afraid of it.
"Thousand Miles of Divine Eagle" Xuanyuan Tian, practicing the "Seven Tricks of the Divine Eagle". Transformed from the Eagle Claw Gong. Close to the grappling. The muscles and bones are wrong, and they are the most fierce and fierce. With the unique weapon "Divine Eagle Snatch" shaped like an eagle's claw, it is even more like a tiger with wings. The Jiangyang thieves planted in his hands are not a hundred, but eighty.
"Iron cone" Zhuang Cave, is a disciple of Hebei Iron Buddha Temple, belongs to the side branch of Longhua Temple. The cultivation of the "Vedic Pestle" has already been eight or ninety percent hot. He turned the pestle into an iron ruler, which was not only powerful, but also added a bit of dexterity. But any prisoner who dared to arrest him in front of him would surely be beaten to the point that his limbs were torn to the bone.
"It's hard to fly with wings" Peng Taizheng is a disciple of Daomen Penglaiguan. A hand-held "Penglai Heavenly Knife" pays equal attention to rigidity and softness, making it superb. He once competed with the "Sword King" among the eight heavenly kings of the Golden Dragon Gang. Although he still lost in the end, it was only a one-trick difference. In terms of martial arts alone, it can be said that he is the strongest of the four head hunters.
Each of the four head catchers has its own unique skills. Even though he is not a martial artist, he still has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes. In addition, the dozens of family members who rushed out with them have at least cultivated their true qi, and they are not ordinary strong men who only know how to simply refine their muscles and bones, they are barely strong, and they can also be called martial artists.
Although once they start to do it, these family members are still scattered and scattered, and they only know how to rush up in a swarm of chaos. But their opponents are not elite troops, but bandits. There are not many people, nor are they elite. There is nothing else worth mentioning other than ferocity and brutality. Such an opponent is exactly half a pound or two with those family members.
Therefore, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the fight was very fierce. But there are four headhunters on the side of the family to help. Each of the four headhunters can use one block to ten, and they can deal with these robbers, which is like a tiger entering a herd. In just a few moments, more than half of the dozens of bandits had been killed.
The bandits robbed the house and looked vicious. The essence is just to seek wealth, and it will not be desperate at every turn. Although this gang of robbers is extremely fierce, half of them are dead, and naturally they can't be fierce anymore. At that moment, they shouted one after another, turned around and fled. But even the treasures that had been plundered before were left behind.
Cutting grass requires root removal. This simple truth is clear to everyone. If it is to arrest the murderer and solve the case, then the four arresters will also leave a few live mouths in order to force confessions and follow up clues. But now it's just a bandit, so naturally there is no need to keep a living. At that moment, the four catchers each used light skills to rush out, using knives and sticks together, killing all the robbers who escaped one by one, and half of them were left alive.
When there are only about two teas before and after. All the robbers were killed. Although they are just bandits who are not on the table, they are not the rebels of the Right Guard. But it was also the first major battle and the first major victory since the formation of the support army.
Those family members who participated in this battle were certainly full of spirit. The reinforcement brigades that stopped in the distance couldn't help but be in high spirits and high spirits. Morale has risen significantly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The four head hunters also knew that there were no powerful people among these robbers, and it was not a good skill to kill them all. And this time, they didn't do it to kill people, they did it to save people. So when all the robbers were cleaned up, the four headhunters went to visit the merchants as soon as possible.
These merchants, both old and young, wore luxurious clothes. At a glance, you can see that it must belong to the kind of fat sheep that is very oily and watery. It's no wonder that robbers are invited to rob them. Unfortunately, after this catastrophe, at least half of the entire caravan died. Of the remaining twenty or so, half of them were wounded. Either a broken thigh or a broken arm, they all fell to the ground, moaning and moaning.
Guo Qiufeng put away his three-section stick and took the lead in inspecting the injured. The other three heads of the catchers patrolled the four directions to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
Those family members often follow their young master on weekdays and run rampant in the market. It's too much, although I don't dare to do it. But bullying small traders and taking advantage of big girls and daughters-in-law are also commonplace, and their reputation is definitely not very good.
But now, these family members have killed the robbers and saved people. Those merchants who survived, as long as they could still speak, they all thanked them one after another, and some even knelt down and kowtowed vigorously regardless of their injuries. came and went, but coaxed these families to feel very good about themselves. It's like he's some kind of great sage. At the moment, they also worked tirelessly, and they went over to help bandage the wound or something. It's been a long time coming, and that's the end of it.
There was an old man in the group of merchants, who was dry and thin, and had a few wisps of goatee, and although his clothes had been torn in several places, he could still see that they were all fine silk. It seems to be the leader of this group of merchants.
Don't look at this old man, but when he ran up just now, he was faster than anyone else, so there was no injury on his body at all. At this time, he struggled to get up and took the initiative to walk over and thank the four catchers.
Zhuang Dong was full of meanness to his own people. can be very polite to these ordinary people. waved his hand and said: "My surname is Zhuang, and I am a head catcher." These are also my colleagues. Dude, do you come to Gyeonggi to do business? Why do you still come out to run a business at this age?"
The old man smiled and replied, "It turned out to be Zhuang Zhutou." The little old man is free of expensive, and his surname is Xie. It's really a business. Alas~ No way, there is no one at home. For the sake of livelihood, no matter how hard it is, I have to continue to run in person. ”
Guo Qiufeng sighed: "Uncle Xie is also unlucky. If you encounter such a gang of robbers, I am afraid that this business will be lost. But it doesn't matter, as long as the person is alive, everything is easy to say. Uncle Xie, this place is not suitable for a long time, you better pack up quickly, and leave now. ”
Old man Xie looked stunned and said, "No, no, no." Xiao Lao'er's business hasn't opened yet. How can you go?"
Xuanyuan Tian couldn't help but be a little amused, and said, "Uncle Xie, you are all like this, what else are you going to buy...... Oh, why do you suddenly feel dizzy?"
Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Tian suddenly felt dizzy. His body swayed from side to side, almost unable to stand. He shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up, but was surprised to find that the three head catchers around him, including Guo Qiufeng, Peng Taizheng, and Zhuang Dong, were all in exactly the same situation as himself. As for the family, it's even worse. One by one, they had already fallen straight down, as if the bones of their bodies had been sucked away, and they couldn't even move half of their fingers.
The four headhunters are all ** lake, and at this point, they still don't understand that they have fallen into the way of others? Although they want to break their heads, they can't understand how they got into the trick. But none of that matters. The top priority is to quickly try to turn the tables.
Of course, the man shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first. Who is the king of thieves? The four catchers couldn't help but say, and immediately set their eyes on the old man Xie. The four of them gritted their teeth one after another, and rushed towards Old Man Xie to take him down.
I didn't expect it to be okay not to move, but once I moved, that inexplicable feeling of weakness immediately surged up and quickly spread to all my limbs. I only heard four "pop~" sounds one after another, and the four catchers fell to the ground, no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't stand up.
Old man Xie laughed and said proudly: "Four head catchers, the little old man advises you, you still don't have to waste your strength." Although 'Blood Agarwood' is not a deadly poison, no matter who inhales it, within twelve hours, they will only be dizzy and dizzy, and their whole body will be soft and weak. has great ability, but he can't show it. ”
The four catchers were shocked and angry, and subconsciously wanted to speak. But under the influence of the virulence, even the tongue froze, where can I say anything?
The large army over there, the team that came out to rescue people here, was only a few hundred steps or so apart. The road was flat and unobstructed, and what was going on here was immediately clear to the other side.
At the beginning, the reinforcement brigade watched the four major catchers and other family members fall, and they didn't know what had happened. But then, I saw that the merchants who were "seriously injured and could only sit and groan" stood up one by one, and then carried sharp knives in their hands and hacked to death a householder.
The reinforcement brigade shouted in unison. At this time, even a blind person can see that this is a big trap at all. This group of rabble, where is the concept of listening to orders and other commands in their hearts? Although Cheng Li and Fang Zhanmei were both by their side, no one could afford to ask them for instructions. Immediately, dozens of people rushed out in a swarm to rescue their comrades who had been trapped.
Of course, these dozens are just the first wave. A large army of thousands of people walked on the road in a long column. From the back of the line to the front, it takes most of the time to walk through the half column of incense. So even if there are other people who want to go out to save people, they must always be divided into front and back.
The dozens of "merchants" turned a blind eye to these people who came to save people, and took their own knives to cut people one by one. One by one, it's extremely clean. But in the blink of an eye, at least twenty or thirty of those who had fainted from poisoning were hacked to death.
But at this time, the first wave of people who came to the rescue were only about ten feet away from these merchants. Seeing that in a few moments, he will be able to rush to the front to save people.
But I never expected it. These people who came to the rescue suddenly felt dizzy in their brains, and then they were spinning around and weak, and they all fell on the spot with a "snap~". It was as if there was an invisible wall in the air, and these people crashed headfirst into the wall and knocked themselves unconscious.
The first group of people was like that. The second group is still the same. Third ......
There is no third dial. The scene is too weird and bizarre, making people feel like a nightmare and chills. Almost everyone couldn't figure out what was going on. Because I don't understand, I can't help but think about it, and when I think about it, I naturally think of the ghosts and gods that no one has ever seen before, but everyone feels scared.
So, everyone was full of fear and their legs were trembling. If it weren't for the fact that it was still in broad daylight at the moment, and there were many people, it might be impossible to say that this reinforcement composed of family members would have already turned around and fled, and scattered in a hurry.
The difference between a rabble and an army is here. The army is disciplined. In any case, it will not lead to a collapse of morale because of such a small thing. And the army that has been on the battlefield seriously and has seen blood has a bad atmosphere.
The greater the number of people, the heavier the evil spirit. What kind of demons, monsters, ghosts, and ghosts, in the face of this evil spirit, there is nothing to hide, and no ghost tricks can be played. You can only work hard with real skills.
But unless you cultivate to the level of Xue Yanxia or Xiaoqing, what demons and monsters in the world can stop hundreds or thousands of troops?
Xue Yanxia is the White Lady, the legendary thousand-year-old snake demon, and the authentic pure-blood descendant of the Liuli family. Measured by the realm of human martial artist cultivation, it has reached the level of "Extreme Yuan". In front of her, no matter how many troops there are, it is meaningless. Even if there are thousands of troops, she will come when she wants to come, and she will leave when she wants to. Completely arbitrary vertical and horizontal.
But Cheng Li's real ability is even higher than Ji Yuan. Therefore, even though the battle made by the old man Xie was weird, it could not frighten him at all. Seeing that Guo Qiufeng, Zhuang Dong and other four catchers fell one after another, and the family members who went to the rescue also fell mysteriously one after another, Cheng Li was still as calm as a mountain. He just turned around and asked Fang Xiaohou Ye, who was riding close to him, "Brother Fang, what do you think?"
Fang Zhan eyebrows condensed and said: "In broad daylight, of course, there will never be some gods and strange things doing it. In my opinion, most of them are poisonous. ”
Cheng Lijaw said: "I think so too." However, the terrain here is empty and uncovered, and when the wind blows, the ordinary poisons have long been blown away. However, this old man's poison can not only poison Zhuang Dong and Guo Qiufeng, but even the reinforcements who went to save people were also poisoned. I've never even heard of such a powerful poison. ”
Fang Zhan frowned and said, "Perhaps, there is only the 'Poison King' among the eight heavenly kings of the Golden Dragon Gang in the past. Or maybe the master of the Tang Sect in Sichuan, as well as the head of the 'time-honored' Wen family, can have such powerful means. But the Poison King is dead. This old man also looks horizontally and vertically, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like the head of the Tang Sect or the head of the Wen family. ”
Cheng Li said in a deep voice: "Dare to make such a fuss in person, that person is giving us a dismount." If we can't beat this old guy's arrogance, our team will be ruined. Even if you barely drive to West Town, it's just to deliver food to people. ”
Fang Zhan's eyebrows flickered with a strange light in his eyes, and he said, "That is what I said, but I really don't know anything about the science of poison arts. Even if I go out, I won't be able to clean up this old man. ”
Cheng Li glanced at him deeply and said, "Since Brother Fang doesn't know poison arts, then let me go." As for stabilizing the morale of the army, it will be handed over to Brother Fang. ”
Fang Zhanmei nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, just leave it to me." Without saying a second sentence, he turned around and shouted loudly.
It must be known that among the thousand reinforcements, a considerable number of them are the family members of the Happy Marquis Mansion, which belongs to Fang Zhanmei's private force. In addition, Happy Hou is the younger brother of the queen's concubine, with a noble status, and is familiar with almost all the noble families in Baiyujing. No matter which noble family these families come from, they all obey him equally. It was only fitting that he would come forward to appease everyone.
Xiang Zhan Mei threw down a command, Cheng Li turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the group of merchants, the old man surnamed Xie, and the four head catchers such as Zhuang Dong. When he arrived ten zhang away from the other party, in front of the invisible wall, Cheng Li stopped his steps. He asked the old man Xie, "Are you the 'devil', or are you Doljia?"
Old man Xie was originally full of smiles, disdain, and mockery, and his heart was full of condescending superiority, so he didn't take Cheng Li in his eyes. But when Cheng Li drank it in front of him, Old Man Xie was stunned, and his heart was immediately awe-inspiring. The appearance of smiling and not smiling also converged. Sen Ran said: "Why can't the old man be Banchabana?"
Cheng Li said lightly: "Because I know what kind of person Banchabana, the god of five-flowered arrows was. Even if this Banchabana is not the Banchabana of the past. But the reason why Banchabana is Banchabana is that there are always some things that will be connected. So, you're not worthy yet. ”
Old man Xie nodded and said, "That makes sense." The Marquis of Longcheng understands people, so let's not talk about it. The old man Xue made up for it, and the dead sheep made up for it. Thanks to the love of his colleagues in the rivers and lakes, he gave the nickname of 'devil' to the old man. Hehe, the old man likes it a lot. ”
Cheng Li bowed slightly: "You are the devil among the four heavenly demons." Then ......" casually glanced at Xue Bujiao's side, and found that among those "merchants", there were four people with shiny eyes and long and fine breathing, as if they were also rare good hands.
Cheng Li nodded and said, "These are the four demons of Shura under you?"
Xue Bujiao said: "Not bad. They are the most trusted henchmen around the old man. Long Chengbo even knew their cheap name, it was really their honor. ”
Cheng Li snorted softly. said: "It is said in the rivers and lakes that the demon Xue Bu has infinite divine power, and he is famous for his 'earth-shattering mad demon crutch'. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was also proficient in poison. Zhuang Dong, Guo Qiufeng, Xuanyuan Tian, Peng Taizheng and them can also be regarded as ** lake. I didn't expect to be poisoned by you. ”
Xue Bujiao felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and don't care about the frost on the tiles of others." This is the truth of walking the rivers and lakes. These headhunters, and these idiots. Unexpectedly, the learner is uneven. Hehe, how could they know that those robbers had already been poisoned by the old man in advance?"
Cheng Li said in a condensed voice: "Blood agarwood, what is this?"
Xue Bujiao said leisurely: "This is a strange flower unique to the southwest Miao Xinjiang. It is not poisonous, but as long as someone eats the fruit of blood agarwood, the blood in the body will change, and once this blood is exposed to the air, it will immediately release a colorless and odorless violent poison. Unless you can find the 'Thousand Souls Spirit Dragon' and squeeze the venom out of it to consume. Otherwise, hehe, even if the supreme master inhales this poisonous gas, he will still be unable to move for twelve hours. ”
