Chapter 10: Night Raids
In the thick of the night, a mottled small city stands on the side of the long river, the wind and rain are coming, the dilapidated city tower is whining, blowing the two large lanterns hanging, swaying rapidly. The plaque on the city tower also flickered brightly and darkly, the handwriting was exposed to the wind and the sun, and it had long been dimmed, and only by carefully identifying it could be recognized as the three words 'Luoshui City'.
There were more than a dozen spiritless men with knives guarding the city gate, and they did not wear the color of the official family, but they ordered the door to do public affairs, and after standing for a long time, they were blown by the night wind, and they couldn't stand the cold, so they all hid in the city gate hole.
In the dense forest outside the city, a person looked at it for a long time, and sneered slightly: "The people of the Demon Sect are defenseless! Disciples everywhere are ready, and when I rush into the city tower, we will do it together! The man next to him replied, "Yes." "Turn around. The man slowly drew out his sword, the jagged sword body was cold and scattered, and when he raised his sword, the dust and smoke suddenly rose from his feet, rushing out of the dense forest like a meteor catching the moon, and rushing to the city gate!
Someone on the tower of the city first noticed something unusual, pointed to the approaching smoke and dust, and shouted, "Who is here then?" The big man guarding the city gate heard the shouting, came out of the hole in the city gate, and saw the smoke and dust in the distance rolling like a yellow tornado, and exclaimed: "What person!? Before he could speak to warn, the sword light swept by, and his neck was cold, and he didn't know about it. The man's head was divided, blood splattered, and the rest of the big men were suddenly shocked: "Someone has attacked the city!" "Every man shall raise his sword to meet the enemy. But listening to the clattering sound endlessly, where the cold light passed, the corpses fell to the ground, and the broken blades fell to the ground, all of which were strangled by the attackers! The man on the tower of the city was shocked that something was wrong, and he picked up a big mallet and was about to hit the big drum behind him, but before he could swing it, he suddenly felt a cold wind under his feet, and a huge sword pierced out from under the city wall! The man fell under the city with a scream! The sword light disappeared, and as soon as the wind sounded, Zhou Gongwang was already standing on top of the city tower.
The wind was still blowing, and the two red lanterns were shaking even more.
In the distance, countless figures appeared from the hidden place, high or low, and gathered together in the city tower.
Zhou Gong looked into the city, it was dark and there was no light, and he frowned: "This Luoshui City is really a branch of the Demon Sect?" Cangzhen Daoren, who had just rushed over, responded: "This is the news from Senior Brother Qian, it shouldn't be wrong." Zhou Gongwang said: "Then why is there no light in the city at all, like a dead city." Cangzhen said: "The people in the city fled as early as when the Demon Sect captured the city, and all they left behind were some Demon Sect demons, I think there are not many people, so there is no light." Zhou Gongwang smiled: "That's really easy, and there is no scruple about fighting." With a wave of his hand, everyone followed Zhou Gongwang into the city.
Many of the buildings in the city have been damaged, and they are full of rubble and dust, which shows the fierceness of the war. Zhou Gongwang instructed hundreds of disciples to guard the four gates and went straight to the Demon Sect Branch.
Everyone went straight to the official office, only to see that the steps at the door were clean, and Zhou Gongwang whispered: "This is the place!" Cangzhen Daoist secretly looked into the door, only to hear a bowstring sound, a little cold light flew out, Cangzhen Daoist hurriedly dodged, the cold arrow flew into the night sky, and a sharp howl was drawn! Zhou Gongwang scolded: "Good thief! "The cold saw sword slashed hard, the gate shattered, and people took advantage of the situation to rush in. As this ringing arrow crossed, the sound of feather arrows flying into the air was heard everywhere one after another, and the howling was one after another, which made people's hearts beat.
Zhou Gongwang fought all the way, and saw two figures hiding from the lobby, where would they be soft, and the sword light swept away. There were also sounds of fighting everywhere, the lights were lit one after another, and a big battle was inevitable. Zhou Gongwang shouted: "Although the demons and evil people come out, don't do the thing that hides your head and shows your tail." These two sentences were full of true anger, and the sound shook the whole city. A sneer came from afar: "I don't know who did the thing of hiding his head and showing his tail, and he still has the face to say?" Zhou Gongwang said angrily: "Who is it?" Get out! Carrying his sword and fleeing to the place where the voice came from, he saw that the door of a small building behind the official office was open, and two people were sitting inside. One man was coarsely clothed in linen, with a hemp rope tied on his head, sitting barefoot on a bench, with gray hair, and he was old but still beautiful; The other person had a flower handkerchief wrapped around his head and a small coat and shorts, he was a Miao man in his middle age, and he was also sitting barefoot on the chair, looking coldly at Zhou Gongwang and the Kunlun disciples who were pouring in.
Zhou Gongwang was overjoyed and said, "It's really here!" Who am I Dao, it turned out to be the old hall master Jiang of the Beast Control Hall, have you been injured by your sword, I only said in the past, even if you don't die, you should not have a few days to live. The old man sneered: "Zhou Gongwang, Kunlun has been fighting with me for many years, and you have come to make trouble again, don't you make more murder and seek death yourself?" Zhou Gong looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "You don't look for a grave to bury when you are old, and you have to do it to others, it's really shameless." Hey! Why are you the only one? What about your four guards? Shouldn't I be looking for a feng shui treasure for you? In fact, why waste a few bones of the Jiang hall master, knowing that he is going to die, feeding the beasts is also doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. The old man was furious and said, "Dare to be rampant in front of the old man!" Today, there are no four major Jingwei, and they will make you return home. Suddenly, he stood up, his hands intertwined stretched forward, the doors and windows shattered, and he stood upstairs majestically.
The Miao man sneered: "Why should a madman take the initiative in the old hall, I will meet this person." He jumped down from the upper floor, untied a scimitar from behind, and came to Zhou Gongwang. The Jiang hall master said: "Although this person is rude, he also has some skills in his hands, be careful." Miao said: "If it's really bad, the old hall master will come to help again." ”
The sound of feathered arrows faded away, but no casualties were heard. At this time, except for some people watching each other, the rest of the people came to the official office, including people from the Beast Control Hall and Kunlun disciples, each divided into two factions to watch the battle in front of the building. The number of people in the beast hall is really not much, many of them are old and weak, and the few people at the gate of the city are afraid that they are still carefully selected to install the façade, and they are much stronger than the people here. Zhou Gongwang secretly rejoiced, the news in his heart was really not bad, Liutang gathered elite strength to destroy the rebellion, and he could win the battle if he was victorious. I was trying to cut the chaos and kill a happy one, when I heard the wings on the top of my head vibrating in the air, and when I looked up, countless vultures, fierce owls, and bats were coming from all directions, and I immediately understood that the arrow flying into the air was not hurting, but in fact, it was the Beast Control Hall that invited a group of beasts to come to help, and the longer I dragged it on, the more unfavorable it was, and shouted at the moment: "The old horseman came down to seek death at night, and he couldn't stand it for a while!" Give the head as soon as possible! ”
Na Miao said: "If you want to take the order of the old hall master, pass my hand first." With a stroke of the scimitar, it swept towards Zhou Gongwang.
