Chapter 36: Martial Soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty
Sun Lin stayed in Wankou for a day, decided to set off back to Qinggu, on the eve of his departure from Anhuikou, a team of darts in the city on the way back to the city, passing by the barren mountain, at the foot of the mountain was ambushed, more than ten dart masters were killed, the body was transported back to Wankou overnight and parked in the mortuary of the government, but the body was all gone in the early morning of the same day. When the news came out, the people in the city were panicked, thinking that there was a corpse mutiny. Sun Lin left early in the morning, not knowing what was going on in the city, and he also hurried to the barren mountains near Anhuikou. It was nearly noon, and he was about to rest for a while, eat some dry food, and then leave. Suddenly, a group of people came not far away, Sun Lin was afraid of extraneous branches, so he hid on the side, at first he thought that this was a person in the green forest, but after observing for a while, although these people were dressed in different clothes, they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and they always maintained a formation during the march, and they should be the elite team in the army. Sun Lin saw this group of sergeants coming towards him, he wanted to dodge, so he moved, but suddenly a crossbow arrow flew towards his back. Sun Lin sensed that a crossbow arrow was coming, and he skillfully dodged sideways, and his footsteps did not stop, and he quickly moved away from these sergeants.
The sergeant obviously refused to let go of Sun Lin, and quickly chased after him, and the leader was about twenty years old, with a strong figure, a sallow complexion, a sharp and angular face, and the whole person was quite fast, and after jumping high, he had quickly approached Sun Lin. Sun Lin quickened his pace, but the person behind him suddenly made a move, only to see that he condensed his strength with one hand, converged into a sword, and then slashed at Sun Lin. The sword was imposing, Sun Lin could only be a little annoyed, suddenly stopped his pace, turned around and condensed the Gen hexagram with one palm, and stopped the sword.
When the leader saw Sun Lin waving his hand and playing the Gen hexagram, he immediately stopped, looked at Sun Lin, and asked, "Xuanmen disciple?" ”
Sun Lin was helpless, nodded, and when he saw the other party stop, he turned around and was about to leave. But the leader spoke again: "Don't go, have you seen two middle-aged men in green shirts nearby, tall and thin, with a heavy corpse aura on their bodies." When Sun Lin heard the other party speak, he stopped and thought for a moment, but he really didn't have any impression, so he replied: "I haven't seen it, who are you?" ”
The leader looked at Sun Lin carefully again, just now the Gen hexagram knot stopped the knife, he was a little surprised, it looked like Sun Lin was a few years younger than he should be, but the strength of the Xuanmen was extraordinary, he faintly admired it, so he opened his mouth and replied: "In the Xia Xi Wei Yuan Mu, the army calls me Yuan Mutou, we belong to the Wushu camp, from Shangluo has been chasing two Jiuli elders here, Your Excellency Xuanmen means extraordinary, you must also know the Jiuli family." Sun Lin felt that this person seemed to be very upright, the Western Wei Wushu was the elite army of the Western Wei Dynasty, no less than the Northern Qin Great Wall Army, but this is the territory of Dongyue, it is very dangerous for them to sneak into Dongyue, at this time, they still report their homes without reservation, are they not afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the local garrison, but he mentioned Elder Jiuli in his words, Sun Lin immediately became vigilant and asked Yuan Mutou: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's two elders of Jiuli's outer gate, named Liu Ling and Ma Jingzhong, who joined our army as counselors three years ago, but a month ago, the army found that the two of them assassinated the sergeant and refined the corpse qi, so General Zeng ordered us to hunt down and kill at all costs." Yuan Mutou was indeed upright, he told Sun Lin all the information, and the sergeants around him seemed to be used to his temperament, so they didn't speak on the side.
Sun Lin roughly understood what was going on, the general Zeng Mutou said should be Zeng Tianlin, the general of the Western Wei military battalion, who ranked fifth in the North List of Soldiers, one place higher than Meng Ji. Sun Lin vaguely guessed that Zeng Tianlin was very likely to have something to do with Xuanmen, but at this moment, the important thing was to hunt down these two Jiuli elders first, he recalled again, and indeed did not find out about the two people Yuan Mutou said, and he decided to work with Yuan Mutou to hunt down these two elders first, and then return to Jiuli. immediately said to Yuan Mutou: "My name is Sun Lin, I cultivate Xuanwu Dao, since I am chasing Jiuli, I will go with you." ”
When Yuan Mutou heard Sun Lin say to go after him, a smile immediately appeared on his sallow face, and the sergeant beside him had no objections. Sun Lin went to the depths of the barren mountain with Yuan Mutou and the warrior soldiers.
The sergeants of the Wushu battalion had quite a skill, they worked in pairs to quickly search in the depths of the barren mountains and dense forests, Sun Lin began to exude his divine sense as soon as he entered the barren mountains, and Yuan Mutou was always by Sun Lin's side, and a team of people quickly searched a large area. After searching like this for a while, Sun Lin's consciousness was shocked, and he vaguely felt a heavy corpse qi in front of him, and then pointed at it. Yuan Mutou immediately understood. With a wave of his hand, the sergeants gathered, and everyone slowly walked in the direction of the corpse qi.
Walked about 20 steps, in the middle of a dense forest in front, surrounded by several towering trees, the light was a little darker than the surroundings, there were more than ten people standing under the trees, it was the team of dart masters who disappeared in the city, and the two middle-aged people were on the side, their hands were overflowing with corpse gas, and the corpse gas kept winding around more than ten people, the scene was very strange. Yuan Mutou whispered to Sun Lin: "These people are all dead, they are refining puppets. Sun Lin nodded, he saw this scene, and finally understood why Xuanmen and Jiuli were incompatible, and these strange methods should not exist in the world. Yuan Mutou beckoned a few warrior soldiers to carefully walk around from both sides. When the sergeants were in place, Yuan Mutou patted Sun Lin on the shoulder, and he rushed out first with the Pu knife, Sun Lin followed Yuan Mutou, his hands were full of energy, and he was ready to shoot at any time.
Ma Jing saw Yuan Mutou coming over first, he didn't stop, but casually led it, and a thick corpse qi collided with Yuan Mutou and Sun Lin. Liu Ling quickly waved his palm and slapped more than a dozen dart masters to the ground one by one.
The Pu knife in Yuan Mutou's hand emitted a burst of cold light, and then with a strong swing, the blade directly split the corpse qi, and then quickly stepped forward, and slashed at Ma Jing with a powerful knife. Ma Jing saw that the knife was swift, he turned sideways, his hands were full of black gas, and he grabbed it directly at his back. Sun Lin saw that a gap was revealed behind Yuan Mutou, and two hexagrams were condensed in his hands, which were launched at the same time and flew towards Ma Jing. At this time, Liu Ling had already dealt with the dart master, he walked up quickly, his palms condensed the corpse qi, and directly met Sun Lin's two hexagrams. Yuan Mutou knew that there was a gap behind him, he squatted on the spot, turned Pu Dao horizontally, turned dexterously on the spot, dodged Ma Jing's hands, and Pu Dao directly slashed at Ma Jing's legs. Ma Jing didn't expect Yuan Mutou's movements to be so fast, and hurriedly retreated. Yuan Mutou saw Ma Jing retreating, and the whole person immediately jumped up, swung the Pu knife from the bottom up, brought out a fierce knife, and flew directly over. Ma Jing was very embarrassed, his hands condensed black gas, and slapped on the knife, but a huge pain in his hands followed, he looked at it, and black blood oozed from the palms of both hands. Barely blocked the knife, but Yuan Mutou's Pu Dao was coming head-on, Ma Jing had no choice but to wave his palm again, put his hands together, and tried his best to clamp Pu Dao. Yuan Mutou turned the handle of the knife hard, and Ma Jing quickly withdrew his hand and ran away, but there was still severe pain in both hands, and the palms of his hands were cut deep holes, if it was half a minute later, it was estimated that his fingers would be cut off by Pu Dao.
Liu Ling and Sun Lin also fought quite fiercely on the side, Sun Lin Xuanmen was thick and strong, and his palms kept waving out the Xuanmen righteous qi hexagram to restrain the corpse qi of his hands, but Liu Ling was not willing to be defeated like this, he took a few steps back, came to the vicinity of the corpse of the dart master, and quickly pinched a few strange magic seals in his hands, only to see more than ten dart masters who had been dead for a long time actually slowly climbed up.
Yuan Mutou had obviously seen this kind of method, and he yelled at Sun Lin to be careful. As soon as the voice fell, more than ten dart masters suddenly rushed towards Sun Lin, Yuan Mutou saw that the situation was not good, threw down Ma Jing, and rushed to Sun Lin's side, and at the same time shouted to the rest of the soldiers: "Tripping rope." When the soldiers heard this, they threw the tripping ropes to the dart masters, and immediately pulled them hard after the people were trapped, and the soldiers tried their best to hold three or four dart masters, but there were still nine dart masters coming towards Sun Lin.
Sun Lin is calmer than Yuan Mutou imagined, he condensed his strength all over his body, and flashed out four hexagrams, facing the menacing dart master, did not retreat but advanced, and rushed up directly, and the hexagram around his body turned rapidly, his body was extremely fast, every time he approached a dart master, the hexagram first collided with it, and then the dart master was stunned, he immediately waved his fingers, and pointed at the head of the dart master, and the dart master was hit by Sun Lin's sword finger, shook for a while, and collapsed to the ground. Back and forth a few times, seven of the dart masters in the field have fallen. The other two dart masters were hit one by one by Yuan Mutou with a strong knife that rushed over, and they also collapsed to the ground and never got up again.
Several of the dart masters who were tripped by the soldier could not escape for a while, and several soldiers came up and hit the head of the dart master with their blades, and they all collapsed.
Ma Jing and Liu Ling saw that the puppets under their control had fallen, and the two hurriedly wanted to escape. Yuan Mutou shouted to the warrior again: "Bow and crossbow!" The soldiers immediately raised their crossbow arrows, and shot a burst of bows and crossbows with a brush, Ma Jing Liu Ling hurriedly dodged, taking advantage of this gap, Sun Lin and Yuan Mutou quickly passed, the two swords and hexagrams came out together, and smashed heavily on the opponent, Liu Ling and Ma Jing were seriously injured, sat on the ground, looked at Sun Lin and Yuan Mutou, they knew that they were powerless to resist at this time, and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Yuan Hujun, spare your life, spare us, these people are not killed by us." ”
Yuan Mutou looked at the two of them angrily, and his voice was extremely cold: "Phew, why don't you want to think about those warrior soldiers who were destroyed by you." Before the words fell, the knife fell in his hand, and the knife left a deep blood mark on the throats of the two of them, and then the blood gushed like a spring, and the two died instantly.
After solving the two of them, Yuan Mutou ordered the soldiers to gather the corpse of the dart master and burn it. He explained to Sun Lin that although these dart masters would not move at the moment, they had been spelled by Jiuli, and if they encountered the Jiuli people again, there was no guarantee that they would be controlled into puppets again, so in order to ensure that these more than ten people could rest in peace, they were all cremated on the spot. Sun Lin said something more first, but in the end, he didn't speak.
The soldiers were busy on the side, and Yuan Mutou asked Sun Lin: "Brother Sun, your methods are quite extraordinary, are you interested in entering the camp with me?" ”
Sun Lin shook his head and said lightly: "Thank you Brother Yuan for your kindness, I can't stand the constraints, it's better to be free." ”
"Haha, everyone has their own ambitions, and in the future, Western Wei remembers that you must find me, maybe if you are interested in joining the army, you also remember to come to the military camp." Yuan Mutou said very sincerely, Sun Lin nodded, and the two fell silent.
The soldiers quickly finished disposing of the corpses, and Yuan Mutou and the others immediately returned to the Western Wei Dynasty, after all, this is the border of another country, and staying for a long time will inevitably cause extraneous branches. Sun Lin paid attention to the clothes of these dart masters before, and roughly knew that it was the dart game, so he decided to go back to Wankou to find the dart game first, and after informing the dart master of the location of the body, he continued to hurry back to Qinggu.
