Chapter 156: Lessons Learned
Yang Congyi had no blade in his hand, and stood five zhang away on horseback, not daring to rashly dismount and approach.
"Three Dao Masters, do you want to help?" Yang Congyi looked relaxed and shouted loudly.
"The donor goes by himself, little thief, even if there are many people, he may not be able to trap the Taoist master." The Taoist who replied was holding a long sword and fought to a draw with six or seven black-scarfed and masked men, and it seemed that he would not be left behind.
But looking at the other two Dao Chiefs, the situation is not good, and there are many dangers, one of them has been injured, and his left arm is bleeding.
"Don't panic, see me helping you!" Yang Congyi shouted, immediately dismounted, bent down and picked up two stones in his hand, and walked towards the crowd.
"Don't be nosy, I'll let you go! If you dare to intervene, you will be killed on the spot! The black-scarf masked man who jumped out of the battle group pointed the knife in his hand at Yang Congyi and shouted.
"Donor, go, don't provoke these shameless thieves and add to your troubles." The Taoist shouted loudly, the long sword in his hand shifted left and right, and defused the attacks one by one, but there were many people on the other side, and he only cared about the defense, unable to effectively counterattack. His martial arts are obviously much higher than the other party, but when he is trapped, he can only protect himself.
"Death to the thief!" Yang Congyi shouted, and threw the fist-sized stone in his hand towards the man in black who turned his back to him. Two stones shot one after the other, smashing into the same gang of black turban fur thieves.
The stone shot, Yang Congyi didn't care about the result, turned around and galloped towards the horse with his head down and grazing. He needed to prevent the black scarf thief from turning to kill him, he didn't have a gun in his hand, but he didn't dare to do anything with anyone.
The masked man in a black scarf rushed towards Yang Congyi with a knife. But when he heard a scream behind him, he looked back and saw that one of them had fallen to the ground.
It turned out that Yang Congyi's stone hit the black scarf man, and he was in pain, and when his hand was slow, the Dao Chang's sword pierced his chest and abdomen.
Seeing another stone hit a person's waist, the person's hands and feet were slightly messed up and the throat was cut by the Dao Chief's sword.
The two fell to the ground, and the angry black scarf man roared and rushed straight towards Yang Congyi.
Yang Congyi turned over and got on the horse, and as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse rushed away, and rushed out more than ten zhang away in a few breaths.
Immediately turned around and saw that the man was still chasing after him, Yang Congyi shouted: "They are almost dead, what's the use of you chasing me!" ”
The black scarf man stopped and turned around, and another person fell to the ground, only to see him look at Yang Congyi viciously, and said hatefully: "After cleaning up a few stinky Taoist priests, I will settle accounts with you!" After saying that, he picked up his knife and ran back to support.
Yang Congyi grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked towards them again, stopping again five or six zhang away, riding on the horse and shouting: "Death to the thief!" ”
Those thieves had already killed three people, and when they heard this shout, they immediately panicked, and the long man had already gained the upper hand, and while the other party was panicking, he put down one of them with another sword.
"Dao Chief, look at me and wish you a hand!" Yang Congyi immediately picked up stones and threw them at the thieves.
The other two gang of thieves who had the upper hand were disturbed by the stones falling from the sky, and they were in a hurry, revealing their flaws, and relieving the crisis of the other two Taoist leaders.
"Lao Tzu will not kill you, and you will not be a man!" The black-turbaned man who had just rushed out put down the Taoist and rushed towards Yang Congyi with a knife.
Yang Congyi had already prepared for holding the reins in one hand, and when he saw the other party rushing towards him, he turned over and got on his horse, urged the horse to go, and ran out of the country in an instant. When he looked back, the man was still following behind, and shouted, "Hurry up, how can you catch up with me with the speed of this snail." ”
The man was silent, but ran as hard as he could, and chased after him.
"Yo, your companions are dead, so it's your turn." After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he urged the horse to run forward for fifty zhang, and then turned back, a turn blocked the view, and he couldn't see the situation of the person behind him.
How can two legs catch up with four legs, Yang Congyi smiled, this kind of thief has a problem with his brain. He urged the horse to walk slowly, but it was necessary to wait and see if the man would come after him.
walked more than 30 zhang slowly, but he didn't see the man chasing after him, Yang Congyi also understood that the thief's brain was not too stupid, and he knew that he couldn't catch up with the horse, so he gave up. He was very proud of his witty pull, and the three Dao Masters should be able to get out of danger. However, when he thought that there were more than a dozen people on the other side, he was a little uneasy, and went back to harass them, anyway, he had a horse to run, and there was no danger.
Thinking so, he turned the horse's head and urged the horse back.
The road was empty, and the man did not chase him.
Yang Congyi was smug, who knew that as soon as he turned the corner, something flew out of the grass on the side of the official road, hitting the horse's head, and the horse under him neighed, and then he got out of control and threw him off the horse.
In a panic, Yang Congyi supported the horse with one palm and landed smoothly. Turning his head, a man rushed out of the grass and slashed at the horse's neck with a knife.
This person is none other than the black scarf man who chased Yang Congyi.
Yang Congyi saw that it was him, he didn't think much about it, he didn't hesitate, he ran away, and ran to find a weapon. In the face of danger, he burst out with an amazing ability, and in a few breaths, he ran out of ten zhang and went straight to the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.
The man behind him hacked the horse to death and said viciously: "Lao Tzu, see where else you can run!" As he spoke, he picked up the knife and chased after him.
"Death to the thief!" Yang Congyi saw a long escape from the predicament and was attacking others, and his heart was immediately overjoyed.
"Donor, why are you back again?" The Taoist put down one person with a sword, and asked without looking back.
Yang Congyi hurriedly rushed over, bent down to pick up a knife, turned around, and saw that the person chasing him was still ten zhang away, so he raised his knife and killed the others.
"Little thief, don't retreat yet, but when!" With a shout, cut down a person and join the melee.
A lot of people have died, and one person has joined the battle group, and Yang Congyi shouted again, which made them even more impetuous, and the thief was in chaos in an instant.
Several Dao Masters were already skilled in swordsmanship, and Yang Congyi disturbed the other party's heart, more than a dozen thieves, and a few more fell in a few breaths.
"Let's go, or we'll all die here today." Yang Congyi blocked the knife and then opened his mouth to persuade.
"Not one can be let go." A Taoist chief pierced a person with a sword and spoke.
The murderous aura is very heavy, Yang Congyi smiled: "You also heard it, if you provoke the Taoist, don't even think about running." After speaking, when the other party lost his mind, he put down another person with a knife.
The people who were chasing and killing Yang Congyi also rushed to join the battle group, but they were caught by a chief, and he was so anxious that he stared at Yang Congyi and yelled again and again.
At this time, the strength of the two sides has been reversed, and there are more and more black turban thieves who have fallen to the ground.
After a while, when there were only seven or eight people left, some thieves withdrew their knives and retreated, jumping into the dense forest on the side of the official road and escaping.
When one more fell to the ground, the others retreated when they saw that there was no hope of killing.
How could the Dao chief let them go so easily, chased after them and put down the three of them, but the thieves who ran into the forest could only let them run, and the deep forest couldn't chase them casually. The Dao Masters turned to attack the last man.
In the end, the man knew that something was wrong, and he made a false move, and ran away.
But in front of so many people, how could he let him run. The Taoist stepped forward, and the two swords cut his hamstrings, making him stop thinking of escaping.
"Dao Ye spare his life......" The man fell to the ground and immediately began to cry and beg for mercy.
"Dao Chief, be careful, this person is treacherous." Seeing that the Taoist chief was about to step forward, Yang Congyi immediately spoke to stop him.
When the Taoist chief saw that the thief was still holding a knife in his hand, he was immediately furious, cut off the other party's hand tendons with a sword, and said sharply: "Why do you want to rob and kill the Taoist master, as long as you make it clear, you will not die." ”
The thief said, "If you want to know, I'll tell you." He struggled to sit up.
Everyone was three feet away, waiting for the thief to explain the reason, but after a while, he didn't speak, and when he looked closely, he saw blood foaming from the corner of his mouth.
The thief committed suicide.
Yang Congyi uncovered the black scarves on their faces, but he couldn't recognize them, and he didn't find anything on them to identify them.
The Taoist told him that they were also passing by, and they were suddenly surrounded, and they didn't say anything about it, and they came up and killed them.
"Dao Chief, I'm afraid you have provoked some enemies."
"I don't know if there are any enemies, our three brothers and sisters have indeed taught some vicious and arrogant people, whether there are people who hold a grudge and want to kill us, I really don't know."
"The three Taoist masters have the ability to seek revenge from you, but they don't want to be long." Yang Congyi said with a smile.
"The donor's words are exaggerated. Thank you for your help, otherwise our brothers will suffer a big loss. ”
"The Taoist chief is polite. In Xia Yang Congyi, I don't know what to call a few Taoist leaders? ”
"Poor Dao Zhang Liu, these are two junior brothers, Lu Quan and Tang Shou."
"It turned out to be Daochang Zhang, Daochang Lu, and Daochang Tang, I don't know where the three Daoists are going on this trip?"
Zhang Liu replied: "My senior brothers and sisters were ordered to travel down the mountain, all over the world, all over the world, and walk around at will, all of which are experiences and have no purpose. ”
Yang Congyi suddenly thought of something, and said: "The world is big, there are countless famous mountains and rivers, there are many interesting places, in addition to mountains and rivers, there are vast and boundless worlds overseas, rare birds and beasts, countless people, islands are all over, the scenery is beautiful, I don't know if the three Taoist masters have ever been?" ”
Zhang Liu shook his head and replied: "No, monks walk the world with their feet, their feet are their own, and they need a boat to go to sea, and the boat is someone else's, someone else's boat, how can I get to the river bank I want to reach." ”
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "What the Taoist chief said is profound. The three Taoists, to be honest, I am forming an ocean-going fleet, planning to go overseas, anyway, the three Taoists have traveled all over the world, and the scenery of this overseas is better than that of the Great Song Dynasty, I wonder if I am interested in traveling with them? ”
Zhang Liu thought for a while and said, "I'm not interested for the time being." If you want to go later, go to the donor. ”
Yang Congyi smiled: "It's okay." If the Taoist changes his mind, he can go to Quanzhou before October this year, and the fleet will go south from Quanzhou. ”
Now that the Taoist chief has been freed from the predicament and there is no major problem, Yang Congyi immediately said goodbye: "Three Taoist chiefs, I have something to do when I go back to Taihu County, so I will leave first." If the Taoist chief goes to Quanzhou, he can find Yang Congyi. There will be a period later! After saying that, he bowed and walked away quickly.
There has been a lot of delay, the horse is dead, and it will take a lot of time to go back.
Yang Congyi suffered a loss in this matter, but he also learned a lesson, and no one should take it lightly, otherwise he would have to pay the price.
Looking at the dead horse on the ground, he grew a little more, and if he got too carried away, he would fall into his head. You can't be too complacent, you can't be too careless, if that man hadn't attacked him, he would have to die here today. For him, this incident was a wake-up call.
One last glance at the horse that had been with him for a few months, he turned away.
