Chapter 44: Jingchen Daoren
"Boom-"
As soon as the deafening thunder came, Yu Shu closed her eyes tightly, wishing that the gray-robed Taoist priest was struck by thunder, but there was no exclamation as expected, the scene was quiet for a while, and she heard the puzzled voice of the Taoist:
"How could it be impossible!"
"Master, Master, it doesn't matter to you, Master, right?"
"Don't come here!"
Yu Shu opened a slit in his eyes, and from the bottom to the top, he saw that the Taoist priest was dejected and dejected with his sword to drive away a few little Taoist priests who were about to approach, chanting words in his mouth, shouting, and pointing his sword to the sky again and again.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
However, there was no more vision, the thunder seemed to be brewing, but the Taoist priest did not give up, stubbornly repeated an action, ten times, twenty times, this scene suddenly changed from dangerous to funny, Yu Shu couldn't stand it anymore, did this person have to be struck by lightning to be happy?
Probably God was impatient, a drop or two of light rain fell, and as soon as it flew, a drop of impartiality scraped into Yu Shu's nostrils, and the sudden tingling and itching caught her off guard, and she opened her mouth and sneezed firmly-
"Ahh
It's over, Yu Shu wanted to cry without tears, I really wanted to give myself a slap, looking at the gray-robed Taoist priest who turned around and stared at her suddenly, Yu Shu just wanted to close his eyes and pretend that it was too late, so he could only get up from the ground in a hurry, step back, and when the Taoist priest walked towards her gloomily with a sword, his eyes suddenly widened, pointed behind him, and shouted:
"Ahh There are people there! β
Including the gray-robed Taoist priest, the people in the courtyard turned their heads almost at the same time and looked in the direction that Yu Shu was pointing, Yu Shu took the opportunity to run a few steps back, but he didn't forget to look behind, because there was indeed a person on the dilapidated courtyard wall, dressed in a white Taoist robe, standing there lightly, conspicuous in the night, but too far away to see his face clearly, but from the size of the body, it was certain that it was a man.
"What people!" The gray-robed Taoist priest was shocked, he didn't even notice when that person was standing there.
When the visitor was discovered, he did not panic, he swept the scene in the courtyard, and glanced at Yu Shu, who was the first to find him, and then floated down from the wall, and took two quick steps forward when he landed, and the wide sleeved robe shook gently in the wind, as if stepping on a cloud, with light steps.
Yu Shu blinked her eyes in surprise, if it weren't for the action of borrowing force when he landed, she almost thought that she had seen a fairy - how could anyone use flying.
The person who suddenly appeared was dressed in a decent white Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun on his head, and a double sword on his back, and he was clearly a Taoist person, but his demeanor was like a decent person compared to the guy in front of him.
"Who's in the formation?" The white-robed Taoist questioned in a serious tone, and it was not difficult to judge from his words that he had just arrived and was not hiding in the dark to visit.
The gray-robed Taoist priest did not answer and asked: "Who is coming, report your name!" β
The rest of the people in the courtyard didn't need his order, they drew their weapons one after another, exchanged positions very tacitly, and surrounded this uninvited guest not far away, but the white-robed Taoist didn't care about their actions, and took two steps forward, appearing in the firelight, revealing a young and solemn face, unexpectedly handsome.
"The disciple of the twenty-eighth generation of the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain - Jing Chen. Who are you, how can you use my sect's Shaoyang Seven Star Array. β
A clean voice, full of energy.
Four big words popped up in front of Yu Shu's eyes - Haoran righteousness.
The gray-robed Taoist priest's face immediately changed greatly, Yu Shu, a layman, didn't know how powerful the Dao was, but he, an insider from a Taoist priest, knew that he didn't doubt the identity of this person who could accurately confirm the formation he used, and while secretly scolding how could he be unlucky to recruit this person, he quickly put away his sword, twisted his smile, snorted, and said politely:
"I've seen Jingchen Dao Chief, and it is a wild road below, and it is a good way to disturb the Dao Chief, and I am offended. Ah-it turns out that this formation is called the Shaoyang Seven Star Array, it is not a secret, Xiaodao only occasionally got the formation book, and under curiosity, I will try it today, but I don't know that it is the Heavenly Master Daomen, not intentionally abused, and please ask the Taoist not to sin Xiaodao's ignorance. β
Seeing this gray-robed Taoist priest bow his head in the face of a young man, Yu Shu didn't feel funny, as a victim, how could she not know that this gray-robed Taoist priest was talking nonsense, but she was in a thief's den, so she didn't dare to interject rashly, so she had to look at the young Taoist named Jingchen first.
Jing Chen glanced at the young man who was naked on the altar, and then moved his gaze to the other six children who were unconscious in the array, and then glanced at Yu Shu, who was standing behind the person, and asked out loud;
"Where did these sacrificial children come from?"
"They are all Xiao Dao's apprentices," the gray-robed Taoist priest hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, Dao Chief, they are all voluntary, Xiao Dao just took some of their essence and blood, and did not hurt anyone." β
As he spoke, he glanced to the side, and someone stepped back and quietly approached Yu Shu, not forgetting that she was a "living mouth".
Yu Shu had already taken precautions, and when he saw their movements, he knew that he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he would definitely kill his mouth if he was caught, so he hurriedly shouted loudly at Jingchen Daoren:
"Don't believe him, hero, we were all kidnapped by him, not his apprentices, there are many people locked up in the front yard, and some were killed by them!"
The scene was quiet, only the rain did not stop, Jingchen turned his face, frowned at the gray-robed Taoist priest and asked, "You killed in vain?" β
As he spoke, he raised one hand and held the hilt of the sword behind his back, with the momentum that once the other party answered yes, he would draw the sword.
Seeing this, the gray-robed Taoist priest knew that he couldn't be good, so he was no longer polite, and with a finger of the long sword in his hand, a group of apprentices under him immediately surrounded the people, and he changed his face and said:
"What's the matter, boy, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, go now, Dao Ye and I will let you go, if not, then don't blame me for being polite."
He is half coaxing and half frightened, in fact, he is afraid of the other party's sect, if he can scare people away, he can avoid a trouble, otherwise, he must leave his life here, so as not to retaliate in the future.
Unexpectedly, his words fell, but when he heard a buzzing sound, he didn't see the other party out of the sword, and a cold light flashed in front of him, and he was afraid of it, and retreated quickly, but saw that the other party suddenly retracted the momentum, Ling Bo borrowed a step, and attacked with an empty palm, and when he was about to touch his shoulder socket, he bent his fingers violently, and flicked his acupoint, and a burst of numbness jumped from head to toe, and before he opened his mouth, he had already fallen stiffly on the ground, and before he fell unconscious, he only heard a reprimand:
"I don't kill in vain."
"Master!"
"Dao Chief!"
Everyone was a little late, a few shouts, then turned around and angrily attacked the white robe, and for a while the courtyard was chaotic, and the short-handed soldiers were close to each other, colliding with each other, which was very harsh.
Yu Shu saw that they suddenly fought, stunned, didn't have time to watch the excitement, hurriedly took advantage of no one to pay attention to her, ran to the root of the wall, trotted to the front, as soon as he got out of the backyard, it became a fast run, the group of thieves were led to the backyard, the front yard was unguarded, Yu Shu just found the hut where the children were held, and heard the sound of "clang" pulling the door inside.
"Sister, sister!"
It's Yu Xiaoxiu.
"I'm outside, don't panic Xiao Xiu," Yu Shu pulled the lock at the door and didn't open it, but when he saw that the doorknob was old and loose, he said loudly: "Xiao Xiu, you dodge, hide to the side!" β
Yu Xiaoxiu answered inside.
"Did you dodge?"
"Dodge!"
Yu Shu took two steps back, raised his feet and kicked the door hardβ
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
"Click!"
The piece of the door lock was directly kicked by her, the whole piece fell off, the door opened inward, and a stench came to her face, she stepped on the air, almost split a vertical fork, and stood firm by holding on to the door frame, I saw Yu Xiaoxiu flash out from inside, hugged her, and hit her to take a step back to stabilize, I heard him cry and shout:
"Sister! You're all right, are you? β
Yu Shu thought he was frightened, hugged his thin body hard, squeezed his eyes and smelled his smoked stinky hair, and slapped him on the back a few times:
"Okay, okay, there's nothing to do, there's a fight behind me and I don't know who won, let's go quickly, while they're not done yet."
With that, he pushed him away, grabbed his wrist instead, looked left and right, and ran to the gate of the black hole.
It was late at night, there was no one outside the door, the good news was that there was an empty carriage parked at the door, and the bad news was that Yu Shu did not have a driver's license for this type of vehicle.
She lifted the curtain and pushed Yu Xiaoxiu into the car, originally intending to try to catch the car, but changed her mind again, turned her head to look at the yard, she couldn't hear the sounds of fighting, she was afraid in her heart, if the Jingchen Dao people couldn't beat them, this group of thieves would definitely not let her go, if she didn't run quickly, Xu would be caught up by someone later, and it would be a dead end.
"Sister, your bag!" Yu Xiaoxiu found Yu Shu's small flower bag in the car, poked his head out, but was ripped off by Yu Shu.
"Come down, let's not take the car."
Yu Shu tore off the reins tied to the tree, stayed away, found a big stone on the ground and threw the horse's buttocks, watching the carriage run into the forest in front of him in a panic, and then pulled Yu Xiaoxiu to the other side.
"Run!"
"Hmm!"
It was raining outside, it was dark and I couldn't see my fingers, the road was muddy, wet and slippery, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu fell a few times, but they didn't dare to stop, until they couldn't run, they didn't stop.
The two sisters and brothers leaned under a tree, panting heavily, Yu Shu spit out twice, Yu Xiaoxiu vomited directly, vomited some bitter water, and sat on the wet grass with a butt, whining and crying.
Yu Shu didn't coax him, wiped his face with his sleeve, stared closely at the direction they were running from, and for a long time, until he confirmed that no one was chasing him, he squatted down with the trunk of the tree, his legs trembling, he ran too hard just now.
Yu Xiaoxiu was still crying, so Yu Shu went to coax him, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, find a place to hide nearby, and when it dawns, we will find a way back." β
Yu Xiaoxiu still whimpered, Yu Shu persuaded for a while, seeing that it was useless, he was also a little upset, so he simply slapped him on the back of the head and scolded angrily:
"What are you crying about, isn't there nothing wrong with it, you are a man, you are not as good as me as a little girl, I haven't cried, you have been crying all the time, no interest!"
Yu Xiaoxiu raised his head with a hiccup and choked up: "You're right, I'm useless, I'm a coward, I'm useless!" β
Yu Shu glared, this is still exciting, isn't it!
"I didn't use it to cause you to be caught by the bad guys, and I want you to protect me, I, I see them pull you away from me, I don't dare to make a sound, I'm afraid, so I don't dare, I don't dare to make a sound, I don't have a breath."
Yu Shu listened to him crying intermittently, thought about it, and finally knew what he was awkward, and suddenly lost his anger, this child was too self-blaming and thought too much, and if he couldn't think about it, he was aggrieved, so he was self-loathing.
As a confidant sister, of course she couldn't let him become a knot in his heart and affect his healthy growth in the future, after pondering for a while, she reached out and grabbed his shoulder, stroked his hair, and cleared her throat to enlighten him:
"In the final analysis, it's still those villains who do evil, what does it have to do with you, let's learn easily, don't everyone have a blessing or a curse, this is called a disaster that can't be avoided. Besides, I'm your sister, I don't protect you, who protects you, I'm a few years older than you, of course I'm bolder than you, this doesn't mean that you're timid, when this happens, it's normal to be afraid, aren't you afraid of me, my legs are still shaking now, I don't believe you touch it. β
Yu Shu grabbed Yu Xiaoxiu's hand and pressed it on her knee, she was really trembling, Yu Xiaoxiu stopped crying, leaned against Yu Shu, and whispered:
"Sister, are you still scared now?"
"I'm afraid," Yu Shu affirmed, "but with you by my side, I'm not so afraid, if I'm alone, I won't be so bold, I will definitely cry worse than you, and I'll be useless." β
Look at what a good sister she is so conscientious and responsible, in order to comfort her younger brother, she does not hesitate to say this kind of nonsense, God knows that she hates crying the most, she lived to be almost thirty years old in her last life, and the number of times she cried probably did not add up to five times, born once, Yu Lei was paralyzed once, and which time?
Yu Xiaoxiu was silent for a moment, suddenly pulled his hand out of Yu Shu's arm, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her shoulders, half-squatted up, hugged her hard, and said in a low voice:
"Sister, I'm sorry, if you're scared, cry."
"Then you're not crying?"
"No, I don't cry anymore."
Yu Shu grinned, stretched out his hand to hug him, and said with a smile: "None of us should cry, hurry up and find a place to hide from the rain, don't stay under the tree, it will be bad if it thunders later." β
"Hmm."
Yu Xiaoxiu wiped his tears, followed Yu Shu to stand up, and the two of them turned around in the forest and found a stone cave, covered by a few boulders, there was just a small space that could accommodate two people to nest in.
Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu hid in the pit to hide from the rain, their bodies were wet, but they were warmer than one person next to each other, and they couldn't get drenched in the rain.
"Sister, who are those who arrested us?"
"It's a Taoist priest, it's not a good thing anyway."
"What about the other people in the house, they must have been arrested, let's go back tomorrow and report to the official to let someone save them, right?"
Junior Brother Yu is much kinder than Yu Shu, he was scared before, but now that he calmed down, he thought of the rest of the children who were arrested, and became worried, how could he be as heartless as Yu Shu, he didn't think about the safety of other people at all, and even the classmate Xue who was stripped off on the table as a tribute forgot about it, so he ran away with his head bored.
"Let's go back and talk about it." Yu Shu pulled Yu Xiaoxiu's head and asked him to lean on himself, "You sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's dawn." β
"Oh." Yu Xiaoxiu was next to Yu Shu, and originally wanted to ask about the white-robed Taoist, but he looked at the window lying on his stomach for a while, and saw them fighting, but he was already sleepy, thinking about it, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Yu Shu waited for him to breathe evenly, then held his head and let him lie on his lap, leaning his back against the stone, quietly watching the rain outside, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he also lowered his head and fell asleep.
The rain gradually subsided, and it stopped in the second half of the night, and a cold wind blew away, and Yu Shu, who was sleeping, shrank his neck, and hung down a corner of white robe from the top of this stone cave.
