I said...... If you know anything, tell me all about it, you're going to die anyway. A sneer tugged at the corner of Song Ting's mouth, and his face was light.

The tattooed man was furious: "What did you say? Am I the one who is going to die? Then I'll hack you to death first!! ”

The nine-ring red iron machete slashed towards Song Ting, the blade flashed in the dim light and shadow, and suddenly there was a "Ahhh I don't know which of the three people came from, Chen Gui, Lao Liu, and Young Aping, and the three of them were so frightened that they closed their eyes.

Before the blade fell, Lu Junyi had already made a move, swept his legs, swept the tattooed man straight, and then grabbed his hand into a fist, jumped two steps closer, and punched the tattooed man Huo Di, hitting the bridge of his nose, and the tattooed man was beaten to a fight!

The tattooed man got up, his two nostrils were bleeding, he wiped the blood under his nostrils, and rushed up again with his eyes: "You dare to sneak attack!" You dare to sneak attack! A machete swung wildly, slashing left and right at Lu Junyi's body.

Lu Junyi was worried that he would cut other people, so he suddenly turned around and jumped to the back door, trying to lead him to the iron stove. Who knew that this tattooed man's brain was not as upright as Lu Junyi, but he smiled and raised his knife to slash at Song Ting's body.

"I don't want to mess with it." With a grim smile on the corner of Song Ting's mouth, his right hand suddenly turned into a palm, exerting eight points of strength, and when he had enough strength, he held a breath in his mouth, and suddenly slammed his palm on the tattooed man's left chest, the tattooed man couldn't bear it, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, taking three steps back, and the knife in his hand was almost unstable.

The tattooed man had a little fear in his eyes, he couldn't imagine that the white-clothed scholar in front of him was so profound, and his martial arts were so profound, at this time he already knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, tightened the knife in his hand, and said: "Today, grandpa will open the net, let you live, you go!"

"Hehe......" Song Ting sneered when he heard this, and glanced at Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi nodded, took advantage of his unpreparedness, stepped forward and punched his head, the tattooed man rolled his eyes, and fell down softly.

At this time, Hu Sanniang and Yan Qing broke into the door and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Tie him up." Song Ting looked at the tattooed man who fainted on the ground, and instructed Yan Qing and Hu Sanniang.

Yan Qing and Hu Sanniang found some ropes in the blacksmith shop, tied the tattooed man to a backrest stool, tied it tightly, and the careful Yan Qing stuffed a ball of linen into the tattooed man's mouth and blocked his mouth.

In the process of tying up, the young man Ah Ping asked puzzledly: "Didn't he say that he would let us go?" Why do you have to tie him up? ”

When Chen Dabeard heard this, he was angry and slapped him on the head: "Stupid!" How could I have such a stupid apprentice as you! He said let us go, and as soon as we went out, he would call someone. How can you not even think of this! How stupid! Still angry, he slapped him twice.

Where did the young Ah Ping dare to resist, he just raised his hands to protect his face, and kept shouting: "Master! No need to slap your face! Don't slap your face! ”

When the tattooed man was tied, Song Ting urged: "Let's go!" You must go out of the city before the fifth watch! ”

At this time, he suddenly heard a neighing sound of horses, followed by the sound of kicking and tapping horses' hooves, and Yan Qing exclaimed: "Not good!"

Everyone went out to see, and sure enough, the horse was stolen!

The horse thief rode the horse and didn't know which alley to turn to, Yan Qing chased for a while, but he didn't know where to go, so he had no choice but to give up.

"These damn horse thieves!"

"It only takes half an hour to ride out of the city, but it takes more than two hours to walk. Now that there are no horses, what should we do? ”

Just when everyone was discussing nervously, Song Ting raised his hand lightly, stopped all the voices, and asked Lao Liu: "You are familiar with Suzhou City, do you know where there is a shortcut to get out of the city before the fifth watch?"

Lao Liu once learned to play cotton in Suzhou City, began to live in Suzhou City at the age of thirteen, until he married his daughter-in-law at the age of twenty, and then returned to Yangzhou, and later came to Suzhou City with his mother-in-law to do cotton business for ten years, so he naturally knew the map of Suzhou City.

Lao Liu immediately thought of a shortcut and said to Song Ting: "Master Ma, the old man thinks that taking the road of Zizhu Forest and Canglang Pavilion, and then going out of the city through the east gate, can rush out of the city before the fifth watch."

Song Ting immediately said: "Without further ado, let's go!"

Lao Liu led the way in front, Lu Junyi followed, Song Ting was in the middle, Hu Sanniang and Yan Qingdian were behind, but Chen Dabeard and Young Ah Ping were the only ones who were missing the pair of living treasure masters and apprentices.

Yan Qing turned around and entered the iron shop, and saw that this pair of living treasure masters and apprentices were still pulling things on the table, and urged urgently: "Chen Zhixian, don't be busy, go quickly!"

Chen Gui's hands flew around, putting some large and small hooks and other parts into a cowhide bag, and the words in his mouth: "These are all useful, look at these hooks...... It's a very standard fight, you see, alas, it's a pity that this boss is not a good person, it's a pity, let's pick some useful ...... first"

"Don't be busy! Hurry up! Yan Qing dragged him out of the door, and the young Ah Ping followed.

So the team became the order of Lao Liu, Lu Junyi, Song Ting, Chen Dabeard and his apprentices A Ping, Hu Sanniang, and Yan Qing, and a group of seven people rushed to the direction of Zizhulin.

Chen Dabeard tied the cowhide bag with a rope, carried it behind his back, and tossed it upside down, if he told outsiders that he was a magistrate, I am afraid that no one would believe it, how much like a vagabond, Song Ting was even ready to give him a nickname "Brother Sharp".

With Lao Liu as a guide, it feels really much faster, Lao Liu is good at finding some small bridges and crutches, and he hasn't even walked a street. Suzhou City is originally full of water and lakes, there are all kinds of rainbow bridges, arch bridges, stone bridges, from time to time you can hear the murmuring stream flowing under your feet...... At the end of the second watch, there were no lights on the road, but fortunately, there were lanterns from a few large families along the road.

Walking through a path, the front suddenly became a deep valley, shadows on both sides, from time to time there was a light breeze, there was a gentle rustling sound, Lao Liu turned around and Song Ting said: "This is the purple bamboo forest." It can be seen that the shadow of the whirling is indeed the light and shadow of the bamboo next to it in the light moonlight.

"Purple Bamboo Forest?" Song Ting suddenly frowned, and called Hu Sanniang to him: "What elders are they talking about, what kind of holy maiden are they talking about, is this place?"

Hu Sanniang's eyes narrowed slightly, thought about it, and then nodded.

Song Ting asked again in surprise: "What time is it now?"

Yan Qing said: "It should be three changes immediately."

Song Ting exclaimed: "Quickly blow out the lantern and hide!" Fast! ”

Although everyone didn't know why he was so nervous, they did it immediately, and after blowing out the lanterns one by one, they hid in the dense purple bamboo bushes nearby......

In the darkness, there was no light and shadow around, only the moon in the sky was bent like a sickle, sprinkling a faint moonlight, illuminating a little hazy light in the bamboo forest.

As soon as the lights went out, it was not clear who was who, Song Ting grabbed it casually, grabbed a pair of hands, and was taken aback, but suddenly felt the softness of those hands, and had already guessed that it was Hu Sanniang.

Song Ting asked in a low voice, "Why did you hide with me?"

Hu Sanniang leaned closer to him, a faint body fragrance entered his nose, and said, "... I was ordered to protect the pony with me. ”

Song Ting didn't speak again, smelling the body fragrance, and forgetting to let go of the hand that grabbed her...... At this moment, about six or seven feet ahead, there was a sudden rumbling sound like grinding, and then several lights came on.

Look closely, those lamps are octagonal glass lamps, the light emitted is pale green luminescence, a silver hook will hang the octagonal glass lamps on a piece of boulders, these boulders are about a thousand catties of weight, two people high, a piece of boulder around a circle, the area in the stone circle is not large, but it is also larger than the ordinary rich family's living room.

Next, something strange happened. The boulders moved like living creatures, making a piercing rumbling sound like pushing and grinding, and the boulder circle opened a door, and according to the light of the glass lamps on the door, it could be seen that each of the hooks of these hanging lamps was made of sterling silver, and I don't know what means were used, embedded in the stone, as if it grew out of the stone.

There was a burst of fairy clouds in the stone door, as the clouds gradually dispersed, you can see a round stone table inside, four or five round stone benches, next to the stone table, but suddenly out of nowhere turned a person, that person is an old man with white hair, a goatee, a whisk in his hand, six or seven swords of all sizes are obliquely inserted behind his back, and he is wearing a Taoist robe of Tai Chi gossip, but he is an old Taoist priest who is close to his old age.

Inside the stone gate, suddenly another person came out, that person was dressed all over, wearing a water-green cloak, a strand of hair hanging down from the corner of his forehead, about thirty years old, but the costume was the dress of a military general, but this temperament, but there was a bit of romance, only to hear him say: "Bao Tianshi, your gossip array is quite good!"

The old Taoist priest with a goatee, known as "Bao Tianshi", snorted and said, "I Bao Daoyi have learned spells for decades, and I still have this ability, not to mention ...... Later, the saint will come in person, the saint is the only daughter of the Holy Father, and this heavenly master can't neglect the saint...... Come, General Liu, can you help me see if there are any loopholes in this gossip array? ”

After speaking, as soon as the dust was raised, the boulders that formed the stone circle seemed to move rapidly as if they were walking on the ground, moving rapidly one by one, and instantly forming a rectangular matrix with the two of them as the center.

Seeing this scene, the person known as "General Liu" high-fived and praised: "Master Bao Tianshi is really good at magic!" Liu admires! ”

Bao Daoyi waved his hand and said, "It's a pity, although the old man knows some spells, he still can't enter this 'unicorn list' after all."

"What is the unicorn list?" Liu Yun asked.

"Qilin Bang......" Bao Daoyi was just about to start speaking, when he heard a voice in the air outside the stone formation: "Elder, this is it!"

Then, an old man in a green shirt and a man wearing a hat flew directly into the stone henge, and then, several more figures flew into the stone henge.

Liu Yun clasped his fists at the old man in the green shirt and the man wearing the hat: "Elder White Tiger and the Left Envoy of the Dharma Protector, the two of you have worked hard!"

"We received news that the Holy Maiden was coming tonight, so we rushed over, what about the Holy Maiden?"

"The Holy Father said that the city will be attacked tonight?"

"Hey, what do you want those farmers to do! Let's go to Tokyo and slaughter that dog emperor! ”

There were about a dozen people in the stone formation, noisy and shouting, and Song Ting, who was hiding in the bamboo bushes, saw this scene clearly, and wanted to talk to Hu Sanniang beside him, but he still refrained from saying it. Fortunately, the stone henge was six or seven feet away from where they were hiding, and no one noticed the seven people hiding in the bamboo bushes.

"The Holy Maiden is here! The Holy Maiden is coming! ”

There was a sudden cry in the stone formation, Song Ting heard the sound, his breathing became inexplicably short, and he forgot to let go of Hu Sanniang's hand, but at this moment he grabbed it tighter.

Hu Sanniang was also a little nervous, but she didn't dare to take a breath, but she kept squirting breath from her mouth and spraying it on Song Ting's neck, which was hot for a while.
