Chapter 17 Going up the mountain to save people

Liu Keshi chopped wood during the day to learn about the defense on the mountain, and sneaked into the backyard at night to explore the secrets of Zoroastrianism. He works diligently, and Wu Abel has a good impression of him.

On this morning, Wu Abor said, "You come down with me today to buy some lamp oil and spices, and tomorrow we will hold a chanting meeting." ”

Liu Keshi carried a bamboo basket and followed Wu Abel down the mountain to Yuangang Village, and bought two baskets full of goods in a big circle in the market, because there was rarely a chance to go down the mountain.

Seeing that this was an opportunity, Liu Keshi stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wu, there is a good friend of mine in this village, and I want to visit him." ”

Wu Abel was not in a hurry to return to the mountain, and replied, "Well, go early and return early." ”

Liu Keshi walked quickly to the Lotus Inn, everyone was there, he told everyone that Yang Xiu and those children were safe, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing were relieved, if Yang Xiu had something, they would not have the face to see their parents.

Liu Keshi talked about some of the situation of Zoroastrianism again, and said: "Tomorrow Zoroastrianism will hold a chanting conference, most of the believers will listen to the scriptures in the Dayun Guangming Temple, and believers can also go up the mountain to listen to the scriptures, and the guards at each pass will be reduced, you can pretend to be believers to go up the mountain, and then hide in the bamboo forest outside the temple, and I will bring Xiu'er and those children out to meet you." ”

In the end, Liu Keshi drew another map for everyone. Hurriedly left the Lotus Inn and returned to the teahouse, Wu Abel was still drinking tea and listening to books, and the two returned to the mountain later.

In the evening, Liu Keshi came to the outside of the Holy Maiden's Courtyard and learned to cricket, Yang Xiu heard this voice and thought that it must be Brother Keshi, so he said to the sisters who were chatting together to make it easier, followed the voice to find Liu Keshi, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Keshi, do you have a way?" ”

Liu Keshi told Yang Xiu about the plan, and Yang Xiu was very happy and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning." ”

On the morning of the second day, Yang Xiu went to deliver food to An Siming again, and whispered: "Siming, in a while, my brothers will rescue me, and I will let them rescue you too." An Siming was extremely happy and whispered a few words in Yang Xiu's ear.

The chanting conference began, and the priests Zhang Aliu, Zhai Pantuo, Xiang Po Po, and the five protectors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the seven major Shanghai laws all participated.

Liu Keshi secretly came to see Yang Xiu outside the Holy Maiden's Hospital, and in order to hide people's eyes, she was still wearing a holy woman's costume.

Yang Xiu said: "Brother Keshi, there is a person locked up in the East Garden, he is a friend I just met, I promised him that he would definitely save him, you go with me to rescue him first." ”

Liu Keshi likes Yang Xiu, listens to everything she says, and follows her to the East Garden.

At a corner, Yang Xiu asked Liu Keshi to stay here and wait for her, she took the holy towel into her arms, came to the garden gate, and said to the two guards: "I forgot the holy towel in it just now, I want to take it off." ”

The two saw that there was nothing suspicious and let Yang Xiu in, she came to the window of the stone house, nodded to An Siming, An Siming lay on the ground motionless, Yang Xiu shouted: "Come and see, he is not moving, is he dead, come on!" ”

The two guards ran over to see when they heard the shout, and Yang Xiu said, "Look, why didn't he move?" ”

One of the guards shouted a few words, An Siming didn't react, and picked up a small pebble and threw it on An Siming, An Siming still didn't respond, and another guard said, "You go in and take a look." ”

The guard opened the cell door, squatted beside An Siming, touched his nose, and said, "It seems that he is really out of breath." ”

Another guard came in and just squatted down, and suddenly, An Siming punched the left and right, knocked the two guards unconscious, turned over and jumped up, walked out of the stone house with a purple bamboo flute on his waist, and locked the cell door.

Yang Xiu asked in surprise, "How are your legs better?" ”

An Siming said: "It was the vinegar and bitter gourd you sent to cure my legs, the bitter gourd clears heat and detoxifies, and the sour vinegar strengthens the muscles and warms the bones, which together is a blind antidote." ”

Yang Xiu understood and said, "It turns out that your mother-in-law is helping you." An Siming nodded and didn't say much.

The two went to find Liu Keshi, and after everyone got to know each other, Liu Keshi said: "Let's go and save those children first, come with me." ”

When passing by the Alchemy Academy, Liu Keshi saw that there was no one in the courtyard, and said: "These bad people want to use the hearts and livers of boys and girls to make alchemy, so I went to smash their copper furnaces. ”

When the three of them entered the courtyard, Liu Keshi picked up a long wooden stick, and An Siming worked together to turn over the copper furnace, and the liquid medicine spilled out, and he picked up a jar filled with cold water and smashed it at the copper furnace, and the reddened copper furnace immediately exploded in half when it encountered cold water.

The three of them were rejoicing, when suddenly, four big men rushed out of the house, surrounded them with sticks, and scolded: "Where did the stinky boy come from, dare to smash the copper stove, catch you and skin you." ”

Although Yang Xiu followed Granny Xiang to learn martial arts for a few days, she only memorized the mantra and basic skills, and couldn't fight yet, so she could only watch anxiously.

An Siming's body was weak, and he could only parry, and the two sides were deadlocked.

I heard someone outside the hospital shouting, "What happened?" ”

It turned out to be a huge noise that alarmed the people who listened to the scriptures in the Dayun Guangming Temple, Zhai Pantuo led the Xiang Granny and the five protectors to check, he saw that the copper furnace was smashed in half, and the pill that was about to be refined was scattered on the ground, and suddenly his eyes widened angrily, and he threw out a ***, and suddenly a cloud of smoke rose under the feet of Liu Keshi and An Siming, Zhai Pantuo jumped up, Liu Keshi and An Siming were each slapped on the shoulder, fell to the ground, and the three of them were immediately tied up.

Zhai Pantuo looked at An Siming with contempt and scolded: "You rabbit cub can recover from the poisoning of your legs, and you still want to escape, wait for me to use your heart and liver to refine a furnace of elixir." ”

An Siming also scolded angrily: "You dog son, as long as I have a breath, I will definitely kill your sister and brother to avenge my parents." ”

Zhai Pantuo sneered: "You don't have this chance, escort me back to the stone house." ”

Liu Keshi and Yang Xiu were tied to wooden pillars in the house, and Zhai Pantuo sat on a chair and asked, "Where did you come from?" Why save Ellsming? Why are you smashing my copper furnace? ”

Liu Keshi was not afraid and said: "I just see that the road is uneven, you are not allowed to do bad things, and no one instructs me." ”

Zhai Pantuo shouted angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, call me." The two disciples came up and punched and kicked Liu Keshi.

Zhai Pantuo saw that he still didn't say anything, turned to Yang Xiu and asked, "What are you doing with him?" ”

Yang Xiu replied: "I was deceived by you, he came to take me home, you let us go!" ”

Zhai Pantuo said: "You don't tell the truth, give me a palm." ”

Liu Keshi shouted: "Don't touch her, it has nothing to do with her, I put the person, I smashed the copper furnace, you all came to me!" ”

Zhai Pantuo said: "Okay, your kid is still hard-mouthed, give me another beating." Liu Keshi was beaten so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

Yang Xiu felt distressed when he saw it, and cried: "Don't fight, he'll die if you beat him again, we won't run away." ”

Granny Xiang pleaded: "Deputy Sect Master, I think they just want to escape, it is better to punish that kid for hard labor for life, and I will take the Holy Maiden Yang Xiu back and discipline him strictly." ”

Zhai Pantuo was a little unhappy and said, "You are protecting your people again." ”

He took out a gourd from his bosom, poured out a pill, and said to one of his subordinates, "Feed her." Granny Xiang couldn't stop her, and the person forcibly fed Yang Xiu the pill.

Zhai Pantuo sneered: "What I gave her just now is Kunlun Dan, and she must take one pill a day, otherwise she will be sore and unbearable, so that she can't escape if she wants to." Granny Xiang frowned.

Zhai Pantuo said to several of his subordinates: "Take care of these two people, I will interrogate them another day." ”

After Zhai Pantuo and the others left, Yang Xiu asked, "Brother Keshi, are you in pain?" ”

Liu Keshi replied with a smile: "It's okay, my bones are hard, don't be afraid, Huaide will come to save us." ”

It is said that Yang Huaide and others did not bring weapons, and they hid in the bamboo forest outside the Dayun Guangming Temple after going up the mountain, and did not see Liu Keshi until the afternoon.

Yelu Zhongde said: "Liu Keshi may have an accident, let's wait until it gets dark before acting." ”

Everyone waited anxiously until it was dark and still didn't see Liu Keshi, Yelu Zhongde said: "Now we can be sure that Liu Keshi has an accident, we have to send someone in to investigate the situation first, and then we will go up together to save people." ”

Han Xiaoyao said confidently: "I'm doing a good job, I'll go." ”

He had seen the map drawn by Liu Keshi, and he knew it in his heart, so he went straight to the Holy Maiden Courtyard in the backyard to see if Yang Xiu was still there.

When he came to the courtyard, he saw that there were two houses with lights still on, so he first squatted under the window of the room on the west side, and heard three holy women chatting about today's lecture.

Han Xiaoyao shook his head and came to the window of the east room again, and heard a holy woman say: "I told Xiu'er a long time ago to let her dispel the idea of escaping, she didn't believe it, and now she was caught with the new kid." ”

Another saint said; "Mingyue, tomorrow we will find my mother-in-law to save her love and let her think of a way."

In the following conversation, Han Xiaoyao didn't hear where the two were locked up, he rolled his eyes, withdrew a few steps, learned the voice of a saint in the west room, and called softly: "Sister Mingyue, you come out, I have something." ”

Then turned around and hid in the dark, Mingyue came to the courtyard, and didn't see anyone, Han Xiaoyao flew behind Mingyue, folded the fan and tapped her, Mingyue was just about to collapse, Han Xiaoyao hugged her with one hand, covered her mouth with the other, dragged her to the base of the wall, and said: "Don't scream, I won't hurt you, I'm a good friend of Yang Xiu, I'm here to save her, tell me where they are being held?" ”

Seeing that he was a handsome guy and a good friend of Yang Xiu, Mingyue was not afraid, and replied, "They are locked up in the Alchemy Academy. ”

Han Xiaoyao clicked on her dumb and said, "You sit against the wall, and you can recover in a while." ”

Han Xiaoyao quietly came to the Alchemy Academy, and sure enough, there were two people guarding the door, and he decided to return to the bamboo forest.

Everyone was anxiously waiting, and Jerod asked each of them to prepare a bamboo stick as a weapon.

Han Xiaoyao returned to the bamboo forest and said to everyone: "Liu Keshi and Yang Xiu were locked up in the Alchemy Academy, and there were very few guards in the courtyard. ”

Yelu Zhongde said: "In addition to rescuing Liu Keshi and Yang Xiu, we also have to rescue those children, and everyone goes in to save people." ”

Everyone followed Han Xiaoyao to avoid the guards and came to the outside of the alchemy courtyard, Han Xiaoyao picked up a small stone and threw it in front of the window, the two guards tilted their heads to look, he took the opportunity to fly to the two of them and knocked the two unconscious, and with a wave of his hand, everyone came to the courtyard.

When the door was opened, Liu Keshi and Yang Xiu were tied to the pillar, and everyone untied them, Yang Xiu saw Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing, tears flowed out, and cried: "Big brother, second brother, I miss you so much." ”

Yang Huaide said: "Sister, it's not good for me to let you be caught by them, I'll take you away immediately." ”

Liu Keshi only suffered some skin injuries and said, "I know where those children are kept, come with me." ”

Yelu Zhongde left three black dragon soldiers, and he and Yang Huaide took five black dragon soldiers to save the children, and they arrived after two courtyards, and the two guards were a little scared when they saw a group of people coming with a strong momentum.

Liu Keshi shouted: "Hurry up and open the door and let those children go." ”

The two opened the door tremblingly, there were five children in the room, and Yang Huaide asked, "Where are you from?" When the five children heard that they were from their hometown, they replied, "It's from Daizhou." ”

Yang Huaide said: "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you home." ”

Let's say that after Liu Keshi and Yang Huaide left, Yang Xiu said to Yang Huaixing: "Second brother, there is a friend I just met in East Garden, and I promised to save him." ”

Yang Huaixing and Han Xiaoyao took two black dragon soldiers to the garden with Yang Xiu, the two guards were just about to stop them, Han Xiaoyao folded the fan left and right, the two fell to the ground, Yang Xiu searched for the key from them, ran to the stone house, and shouted as he walked: "An Siming, are you okay?" ”

An Siming stood up at her voice and replied, "I'm fine." ”

Yang Xiu opened the cell door, looked at An Siming, and asked, "Did they beat you?" ”

An Siming replied with a smile: "They are reluctant to beat me, and they are ready to use my heart and liver to refine the elixir!" ”

Yang Xiu blushed and said, "You're still joking at this time." ”
