Chapter 55: The Secret Attack on the Ancient Temple (1)
Chapter 55
"Alone." Mei Tingzhu lowered his voice and said, "Then the five of us will act together, so that we can all live." ”
Mei Tingyu and Mei Tingchun's strength is poor, and if they act alone, they will definitely become the prey of others, so they must form a team, but unfortunately, with the strength of their team, they can't get five Heavenly Book fragments at all, and someone will still have to die at that time.
And if they receive the documents to act alone, and then act together, then their chances of getting the Tianxin Fragment will be greatly increased, and even if they can't get it, at least they will have a chance to live.
"But why is there such a loophole?" Mei Tingjun asked.
Can they think that the Crane Control Army will not think of it?
"Is this the only way anyway? Isn't it? Mei Tingzhu asked rhetorically.
With the strength of the five of them, it is already an excellent result to be able to obtain a fragment of the Heavenly Book, but when the time comes, there will be more people who will die, so it is better to act alone.
"What do you think?" Mei Tingjun looked at the other three.
"I have no objection." An Jiudao.
For An Jiu, now it is like receiving a task, it doesn't matter if she works in a team or alone, the goal is to get the fragment of the Heavenly Book, and as for whether the others are dead or alive, she has nothing to do with it.
Mei Tingchun's throat moved slightly, and he said dryly, "That...... Then give it a try. ”
"Okay." Mei Tingyu also agreed.
In a short period of time, there really is no better way.
After the five of them finished deliberating, half of the people present had already left.
They received the paperwork in turn and followed the crowd to the ancient temple.
Dozens of people walked on the snow, like feathers brushing, and only An Jiu stepped on the snow alone The sound of creaking sound, many people cast their eyes.
An Jiu was calm, but the few people walking next to her were a little uncomfortable.
"Can't you mention some internal force?" Mei Tingyu said angrily.
"Who says you have to use internal forces? Can't you save a little bit to save your life? In this public, An Jiu naturally would not admit that he had no internal strength, otherwise he would enter the temple once he entered it. Isn't everyone crazy to shoot the map in her hand?
Mei Tingzhu felt that what An Jiu said was very reasonable, so he withdrew his internal force.
The snow is not too deep, and even if you don't use internal force, you won't lose it.
The surrounding people began to withdraw their internal forces, and some people did not think so, and accelerated their pace to enter the temple first to explore the terrain.
As he walked, An Jiu took out the map in his arms and looked at it.
Mei Tingjun thought about it for a while, and now he has not entered the temple, so others can't grab it, so it's safer, so he also motioned to several other people to take out the map.
Put it together and do it right. found that the picture in the hands of An Jiu and Mei Tingyu was made together, and the other three were all the same picture.
A few people tacitly put away the picture and hurried to catch up with the crowd.
The ancient temple of this trial was built in the early Tang Dynasty, and was expanded more than ten times in the following two hundred and seventy years, and was once the most prestigious Buddhist temple in this area, but after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the Buddha was promoted, and legend has it that a large-scale massacre occurred here a hundred years ago, and hundreds of monks died. And the reason is unknown.
Since then, the ancient temple has often heard the sound of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, and whenever the sunset is like a blood-stained sky, the bell will be inexplicably ringing, and the nearby villages have not been spared due to the outbreak of the plague. Therefore, it is rumored that the monks in this temple are not gone. It is believed that the souls of monks who died unjustly are more ferocious than ordinary people, and for hundreds of years, no one dared to live nearby.
Yasuhisa guessed that this was an ancient temple with a large building, but he was quite surprised when he was actually close to it.
It was dark and reckless. The rolling hills are like several mountains with clear distances, and the pagoda is like a giant's finger, reaching into the sky.
"Oh my God!" Mei Tingchun let out a low sigh.
There was a constant exclamation all around.
Nowadays, there are many major avenues, and some of them are very magnificent. However, none of them can be compared with the abandoned ancient temple in front of them, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be glimpsed.
The plaque on the gate of the temple has long been destroyed, and the original name is unknown, but the mottled gate is open, and several people in black cloaks stand in front of the door to signal those who enter the temple.
The man said in a deep voice, "The lone wanderer can release this signal at a critical moment, and he will be rescued by the Crane Control Army, at the cost of tattooing words on his cheeks and filling the slave ......."
"Oh, what do you want it to do!" Someone threw the canister away on the spot.
They carry the honor of the family on them, so they would rather die than live!
The people in Mei's second room also discarded the signal canister, and even a person like Mei Tingchun, who had low martial arts and was afraid of death, even abandoned the back road without thinking about it.
An Jiu felt that keeping this thing would not have much effect, but would make others think that she was weak and cause everyone to besiege her, so she also discarded it.
Entering the garden, everyone chooses their own route.
Everyone is wearing a black cloak, but there are obvious marks on the clothes, for example, the corners of the crane army are embroidered with silver white cranes spreading their wings, Mei's clothes are a red plum, and Cui's clothes are directly embroidered with the word "Cui" on the corners......
"In which direction is the Futu Tower?" Mei Tingyu asked in a low voice.
Now everyone is wrapped in a cloak and does not distinguish the figure as long as it is difficult for others to distinguish between men and women for a while as long as they do not speak Mei Tingzhu raised his chin slightly and gestured to walk forward.
The strength of the five of them is not good, but the Mei family is one of the four major families of the Crane Control Army, and it is needless to say that they are strong, so everyone looked at them along the way, but no one dared to take the lead in doing it like them.
The temple occupies a hilltop, and the original road is mostly overgrown with weeds, and most people choose to pass through the buildings when they pass through the dry grass.
Halfway up the mountain, the most righteous place was built the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and all the other halls had roads leading there, and Tallinn was in a huge col behind, and if you wanted to reach the tower, the Daxiong Treasure Hall was the only place to go.
Mei Tingjun felt the sound of fighting around him, and he said in an inaudible voice, "It's not good to go on like this." ”
Because An Jiu has no internal strength, they can't perform light skills, they can only honestly take the big road, and others began to think that they were strong and fearless, and they did not dare to rashly provoke.
"It'll be fine for a while, let's speed up." Mei Tingzhu said quickly.
Several people silently sped up.
This one is going to go wrong! People with internal force and those without internal force walk completely differently! Soon, someone found out the clue, but because they didn't know the strength of the other four, they were still on the sidelines.
There are a lot of lone wanderers nearby, and they don't have to risk taking the figure of the person in the group. The road was unimpeded, and the five of them soon arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
"Inside the temple or outside the temple?" Mei Tingjun asked Mei Tingzhu's opinion.
The light inside the temple is dim, and it is easy to ambush, but walking outside the temple means taking a long detour, and the buildings on the way are dense, and they are in the dark with the enemy, which is more dangerous.
After thinking for a short time, Mei Tingzhu said decisively, "In the hall." ”
The main entrance is wide open, and there are shallow footprints on the ground.
An Jiu paused, "You go first, and I'll arrive later." ”
They mentioned the true qi and walked silently, and if they were ambushed in the temple, they would be easily discovered.
"Okay." Meiting Bamboo Road.
Mei Tingjun hesitated, didn't say anything, and raised his legs into the hall.
When they were out of sight, An Jiu grabbed the openwork door, jumped lightly, turned over on the beam on the top of the corridor, took out the bow and arrow behind his back, hung it upside down on the beam, and prepared to ambush the hall through the broken doors and windows.
She hung silently like a bat.
Bite!
There was the sound of blades clashing in the room, but only for a moment.
In the center of the hall are three huge Buddha statues, and the walls are surrounded by high platforms, on which there are many Arhat statues of different shapes.
An Jiu clearly saw from the outside that there was a hidden weapon shot from behind the statue of an arhat sitting cross-legged and smiling just now.
She put her arrows on the string and waited.
Mei Tingjun and the others were about to go around to the back hall soon, and the people who were ambushed in the hall couldn't hold it back, so they soon attacked again.
At the same time as the hidden weapon was shot from behind the Buddha statue, with a whoosh, the arrow in An Jiu's hand shot out.
"Ahh
Cries of pain resounded through the hall.
An Jiuzhi said, if he is alone, he will definitely choose to be a single person to have a chance of winning, since this person dares to make a move on the Mei family, it means that at least the strength is equal.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!" Mei Tingjun let out a low snort, the cold light flashed, and he swung his sword to sweep away the oncoming poisonous needle.
Sou!
An Jiu shot another decisive and sharp arrow.
When Mei Tingjun and the others saw another person planted down, they immediately reacted that An Jiu was making a move, and they also understood that they were being used as bait by her!
Mei Tingchun used his sword to manipulate the corpse and searched for half of the map from him.
"It's Liu." Mei Tingchun saw the embroidered words on the corner of his clothes.
They didn't know how many families the Lu Dao Crane Army consisted of, and they didn't know the Liu family.
At first, when the four of them learned that An Jiu would not be able to do internal strength, they all felt that it was a drag to take her, but now that they saw her kill two people in the dark in an instant, there was a subtle change in their hearts.
The four of them were hesitating to leave or stay to answer, when a hidden weapon suddenly attacked from the east.
The two ambushers then rushed out with their swords, entangled with the Mei family.
No, there should be another person......
An Jiu didn't move, she could feel that someone was coming towards her! (To be continued......)
