Chapter 8 Unscrupulous means
Yun Qian easily climbed a fence and followed the sound, but saw a group of people holding torches in the woods not far away. He counted them, and there seemed to be twenty or thirty people. Seeing that they were walking in the direction of the Taoist temple, Yun Qian secretly exclaimed in his heart.
Yun Qian jumped down from the wall, ran to the door of the old nun's room, and shouted softly with the door: "Senior, senior, there are more than twenty people under the mountain coming towards our Taoist temple. ”
After a while, there was no response. Yun Qian was worried about Chu Xi's safety, so he recklessly pushed the door directly in. saw Chu Xi sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and softly sitting on the bed in the room, with a faint red light on his face. The old Taoist girl supported Chu Xi's back with her left hand, and held a few silver needles flying on the back of Chu Xi's neck with her right hand.
Seeing Yun Qian's reckless intrusion, the old Dao Gu turned her head to the side angrily and asked, "Did I let you in?" ”
Yun Qian knew that he was wrong, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry to disturb my seniors." It's just that a team of people is coming down the hill, and I'll let you know. “
"Didn't I tell you that if anyone comes, you will send it away. Now is the critical moment for me to heal Her Royal Highness the Princess, what use do you have to do if you can't do this thing! The old Dao Gu was slightly uneasy under the anger, and a lot of sweat beads oozed from her face. I only heard her snort in a low voice, and her face was like gold paper for a while.
Yun Qian saw that it was indeed a critical juncture now, and he didn't dare to disturb anymore, so he left the room lightly.
Voices in the distance became clearer. Yun Qian thought in his heart that he must protect Chu Xi and let her be safe.
At this dangerous moment, Yun Qian's eyes rolled and he had a plan. He wandered around the temple and found the location of the pharmacy.
This pharmacy is very compact, and there are all kinds of herbal elixirs in it. Shallot snow, cardamom, salt tribulus terrestris, Xu Changqing, snow jade powder, flowing firefly ointment, pond jujube pills... Yun Qian, who didn't know anything about pharmacology, looked at the names of those magical medicines, and suddenly his head was shocked. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a small blue porcelain bottle abandoned in the corner, and the words "sweat medicine" were succinctly written on the label. Yun Qian was overjoyed, and finally found a simple and rude medicine that made him clear at a glance.
Yun Qian put away the small bottle and took another brush. He plucked all the hairs off his pen and picked out a bottle of ointment that seemed to be very viscous. After a few pours, Yun Qian glued all those brush hairs around his mouth. He looked at a bronze mirror, and a lewd Taoist priest with a mustache appeared in front of him. Yun Qian smiled with satisfaction and returned to the courtyard to quietly wait for the arrival of the prey.
"Grandma's, this way looks really shabby!"
"Be content, or you'll have to spend the night in this wilderness today."
"Damn, Lao Tzu originally asked a few little girls to drink flower wine in the drunken sales building tonight!"
"Just like you, can those little sissy skins look down on you?"
"Get out of here, I'm annoying."
The vulgar laughter and scolding of the group of people grew louder and louder, and Yun Qian saw them walking down the steps through the gap between the doors of Yuzhuguan in the courtyard.
Yun Qian was sitting precariously, feeling that his heart was about to jump to his throat, and his right hand trembled slightly.
With a "bang", the wooden door of the Taoist temple was kicked open. One of them, five big and three thick, shouted: "Is there anyone, is there anyone, come out quickly!" ”
Yun Qian tapped his heart twice, and bowed down and trotted over to those people.
"A few masters, I don't know why you came to Xiaoguan?" Yun Qian's face was full of smiles, and he secretly looked at these people with his eyes as he spoke. His expression was a little stiff, but fortunately it was not easy to see in the night.
But I saw these people, holding long knives in their hands, dressed in black, but embroidered with a small red flame.
Seeing Yun Qian's trembling appearance, the leader said in a mocking tone: "Don't be afraid, the little road chief, the brothers are not bad people. On weekdays, it's just to play with little girls, and of course, occasionally when you're in a bad mood, you'll kill two people to play. As long as you are honest and obedient, we will not embarrass you. Let me ask you, have you seen these two people? After that, he showed two picture scrolls in front of Yun Qian.
One of these two paintings is a handsome young man, and the other is an ugly and domineering old man, who are painted by Yun Qian and Murong Ju. Yun Qian chuckled in his heart, deliberately pretended to have bad eyes, and trembled to the two paintings to look at them carefully.
"This stinky Taoist priest is not a blind man, look at that face is going to be pasted on the painting!" A stocky fat man coaxed aside, and the men laughed uncontrollably.
Yun Qian pretended to be frightened and fell backwards, and said nervously, "No... No... Xiaoguan rarely comes to this wilderness. ”
"Brother came out today to run errands, and I will stay here tonight. Dao Chief, go and get some food and drink for the brothers" The man in the lead commanded Yun Qian contemptuously, and after speaking, he walked straight to the room where Chu Xi was.
Yun Qian hurriedly stopped him, smiled and said, "This uncle, this room is my master." He is over 80 years old today, and he has recently contracted herpes and is seriously ill, and his whole body is rotten. ”
"Grass your grandma, you won't be infected too!" A thin man drew his knife and slashed at Yun Qian.
Yun Qian looked like he didn't know martial arts, and he sat on the ground with a puff, but he also skillfully avoided this knife. He shouted to spare: "Uncle spare your life!" Uncle spare his life! That old immortal has been locked in that room by me a long time ago, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the little one! As he spoke, he tore open his robes to reveal his chest and back to the men.
"Ouch, this stinky Taoist priest is quite white~" The group laughed again.
The leader glared at those people with a smile in his eyes, and then sneered: "Don't mind, Dao Chief, these brothers are all rough people. Please also ask the Taoist chief to bring the delicious food and drink quickly, otherwise the brothers will not be able to do anything when they are hungry. “
"Know, know, I'll be right away when I'm going." Yun Qian hurriedly ran to the kitchen, boiled a large pot of tea, and then poured in the medicinal powder and carried it out.
Yun Qian came out with tea, but saw the leader pacing around in front of Chu Xi's door, his heart tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Uncles, uncles, come and drink some tea to quench your thirst first." The meal will be ready in a while! “
The group of people who had been running outside for a day had already been thirsty, and they saw all of them rushing up for a while, but the leader was still hovering in front of Chu Xifang.
Yun Qian wiped his face with some cramps, and ran to the leader's side with a smile, and said with concern: "This uncle, aren't you thirsty after a day's journey?" I dare not say anything else, the fragrant tea of our Taoist temple is a good product, the tea fragrance is rich, clear and thirst-quenching. “
The leader shook his head and asked thoughtfully, "Dao Chief, are there only two people in this Taoist temple, you and your master?" “
"Yes, yes, our temple is in the middle of nowhere. Occasionally, someone will come to offer incense or something. Previously, my master was in charge of affairs, but he was seriously ill, so I had to lock him in this room. Yun Qian wiped the corners of his eyes contrivedly as he spoke, and by the way, he glanced at the pot of tea with his spare eyes, and it was about to bottom out.
The leader felt a little uneasy in his heart, but for a moment he couldn't tell what was wrong. He thought to himself, and suddenly when he looked up, he drew his knife and slashed at Yun Qian's right shoulder. In a hurry, Yun Qian rolled backwards and stabilized.
"Hmph, how can a Taoist priest who lives in this barren mountains and mountains all the year round and does rough work in the wind and sun every day be born so white. You have good acting skills, and you almost deceived me, but your flaws were caught by me, Yun, Gong, and Zi! The leader said murderously, with a little smug on his face.
Yun Qian was not alarmed, and said lightly: "Although you are smart enough, your subordinates are straw bales. As soon as he finished speaking, the brothers of the leader fell to the ground one by one.
"You mean!" The man in black scolded angrily.
Yun Qian didn't bother to say more to him, so he picked up a knife and fought with the man in black. Yun Qian's nine tree cutting styles were more ruthless, but compared to the subtle moves of the man in black, they were still inferior. Under the onslaught of the man in black, Yun Qian retreated.
If it goes on like this, it is not a way, Yun Qian thought secretly in his heart, but he couldn't find the flaw of the leader.
On the other hand, the leader was also secretly frightened behind his back. Yun Qian had fifty percent of Murong Ju's internal strength, although he didn't know how to use it, but the sharp sword qi that appeared at that time was extremely strange. The leader had scruples, and he didn't dare to attack with all his might at the moment.
When he was in the middle of the fight, the door of the room where Chu Xi was located opened with a bang, and a woman walked out, dressed in white fluttering.
"Senior Sister ——!" Yun Qian was pleasantly surprised, but he showed a flaw and was almost cut by the man in black.
Chu Xi's pale face was bloodless. She nodded at Yun Qian, raised her hand to throw the swallowtail sword, and said, "Xiao Qian, take the sword." “
Yun Qian took the swallowtail sword, and after taking a few steps back, his thumb pressed against the hidden buckle on the scabbard.
Only to hear a dragon groan, the short sword out of its sheath.
Yun Qian's sharp blade is in his hand, and his momentum is three points more. He swung his sword at the leader.
When the leader saw that the sword body was shining and was not of any ordinary quality, he hurriedly waved his sword to parry it in his heart.
"The mantis arm is a car!" Yun Qian shouted, and all the majestic internal forces were stimulated, converging on the swallowtail blade.
But I saw that the blue phantom drew a trace of death.
The sword is broken, the sword is broken, and the soul is destroyed.
His neck had been severed, and only a thin layer of flesh was attached to the fracture.
The leader fell backwards, a large stream of hot scarlet liquid splattering from his neck. Yun Qian's face was covered with blood, and he felt a spasm in his stomach. Originally, he just wanted to cut the throat of the man in black, but he didn't expect that swallowtail carrying the sword qi would be so ferocious.
Chu Xi didn't know when he had already walked to Yun Qian's side, and gently wiped the blood off Yun Qian's face with his green jade fingers.
"What should I do if these people are left?" Chu Xi looked at the stunned person on the ground and asked Yun Qian gently.
Yun Qian's sloppy gaze refocused, the pain disappeared in a flash, and he whispered a little hoarsely: "Kill it." “
Chu Xi straightened Yun Qian's loose hair and stood there quietly, not saying anything.
Yun Qian returned the swallowtail to Chu Xi, picked up the broken knife from the ground, and cut off all the throats of the more than 20 people.
If it was three days ago, Yun Qianmo said that he had killed so many people who had no ability to change hands, and it would be impossible for him to trick and drugged.
The person he admired and admired the most was Yun Che. Yun Che always exudes light, heroic, reckless, honest, and affectionate. Even Yun Che's arrogance made Yun Qian feel envious, because Yun Che was born with such capital.
Yun Qian is not Yun Che, but Yun Qian has been working hard unintentionally to become a bright and upright person like Yun Che. Yun Che's radiance always erases Yun Qian's existence, but Yun Qian does not complain, he also has his own stubbornness and perseverance: treat people with sincerity and be kind to others.
It's a pity that Yun Qian is no longer the son of the Yun family, nor is he a student of the Academy. He's just a fugitive. was framed, betrayed, deceived, and plotted, and there was no one else by his side except Chu Xi. Today's Yunqian only wants to protect Chu Xi and those who are worthy of his protection. For this, he can do whatever it takes.
The night breeze blew lightly through Yuzhuguan, the bamboo leaves rustled, the half-moon rose from the clouds, and two clear tears crossed Chu Xi's face imperceptibly.
