Chapter 9: The Reappearance of the Yin Soldiers

The month of March passed quickly, everything was ready, and the net laid was opened, waiting for the Yin soldiers to throw themselves into the net.

This day is the third day of the fourth month, and the Yin soldiers did not appear in the first two days, so according to the law, the Yin soldiers will inevitably appear again tonight.

The time was approaching, and the three of them were in good spirits and prepared to go to the ambush site.

Ji Zheng was the first to step out of the wing, he looked up at the dim moon in the sky, and his heart was full of waves, but this time there was no more fear in his heart, instead of incomparably excited.

Mr. Juan was already waiting in the courtyard, he walked up to the three of them, took the lead in saluting, and said, "Three gentlemen, please!" ”

"We won't fail again this time!" Ji Zheng's eyes were full of determination.

Mr. Juan was very worried and said: "Although the gentlemen are well prepared, try not to use force unless it is absolutely necessary, and everything is based on safety." ”

"Hmph, it depends on whether the Yin soldiers know each other or not." Ji Zheng smiled contemptuously.

Gong Wanran stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, the younger generation remembers." ”

Zhang Xun stood behind the two senior brothers, looking a little uneasy, he stretched out his head to look at the inner room, and sure enough, he saw Shuang Tu hiding behind the door frame, he waved his hand and shouted: "Xiao Shuang!" Little Frost! ”

Frost hesitated for a moment, then ran over, and she spread out her hands and presented two sachets, one red, embroidered with the word "Ji"; A light cyan color embroidered with the word "An".

Purple Kite hobbled over, and said to the three of them: "The girl has been busy with this for a month, I said I wanted to help her, but she insisted on doing it herself, although it was done slowly, but it was all her heart, and I hope the gentlemen will not dislike it." ”

Zhang Xun pinched up the two sachets, and while throwing the red ones to Ji Zheng, he said: "'Ji' and 'Ji' have the same sound, and they are red, so naturally they are for Xiao Ji." Hey, how does Frost know that I like light cyan? Hehe, I'll take this 'Ann'. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xun groped out a smaller bag from his body, stuffed it into the sachet that Shuang Di gave him, and then said: "When we went down the mountain, Master gave each of us a bag, and I was worried that there was no place to put it, so it's okay now." ”

Zhang Xun collected the bag, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Hey?" Why is there no ...... from Brother Xiao Ran?"

Ji Zheng poked Zhang Xun with his elbow, and his eyes motioned for him to look to the other side. I saw Shuang Di walk in front of Gong Huiran, and carefully took out a sachet from her pocket, she lowered her head, reached out and stuffed the sachet into Gong Huiran's hand, "Brother Gong Hui has no accessories...... I...... Just did this for you......"

Gong Wanran pinched the sachet, looked down, and found that the sachet was made of silk and silver thread, silver-white, embroidered with the word "Rui", very delicate and beautiful, he squatted down, stroked the head of the frost, and said gently: "Frost, thank you." ”

Zhang Xun stuffed the sachet into the clothes on his chest, and his expression seemed a little lost.

"Senior Brother Gonghui's sachet seems to be better than ours, huh?" Ji Zheng clasped his hands in front of his chest and quipped as he leaned over.

"Hmph." Zhang Xun glanced at Ji Zheng, "I like everything Xiaoshuang sent." ”

At this time, Mr. Ji came over and asked Zhang Xundao: "Just now you said that Brother Yan gave each of you a tip?" ”

"Yes, Master has repeatedly told us that we must be close to our bodies all day long, and we must never open them until the time is right."

"At the right time? When was that? Mr. Yan asked.

"Master said that my bag should not be opened until I am dying. Brother Xiao Ran's bag can only be opened at the time of life and death; Xiao Ji's bag can only be opened after the mind is dead. ”

"Hahaha." After hearing this, Mr. Yan stroked his beard and laughed, "Sure enough, it was Yan Lingyu!" Yan Lingyu's most brilliant point is to know people's hearts, the three of you have followed him for many years, and his understanding of you must be three points. Follow his teachings carefully, and do not open your bag until the time is right. ”

"Hey...... At the right time, at the right time, I'm going to die, what use can I open the bag again......" Zhang Xun muttered.

"Haha, this is your master's cleverness, you will naturally understand when the time comes!"

Afterwards, the three of them walked out of the door and said goodbye to Mr. Yan's family outside the door. Frosty followed out of the door, tears already streaming down her cheeks. Mr. Ji pulled Shuang Tu back, looked up at Zhang Xun's figure as they walked away, and reluctantly closed the door.

Frost squatted on the ground and couldn't stop crying, and Mr. Yan sat next to her, stroked her head, and looked at the sky in prayer.

"May God bless the children!"

At midnight, the moon faded, and only the Milky Way shimmered with a faint light, and darkness and silence blended under the night sky, solidifying into boundless shadows.

The three of them and the strong men of the village waited quietly, and the upcoming decisive battle made people feel an inexplicable excitement and fear. For these strong men, it is impossible not to be afraid, if it were not for such a thing to happen, if it was not for the three of them, they would probably be just farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky for the rest of their lives, and they would never experience such an encounter, but everything that is about to happen may be the arrangement of fate, whether it is for ordinary people, or for people with lofty ideals who have the world in mind, fate is often impossible to choose.

Finally, the Yin soldiers appeared at the north entrance of the village, and just like last time, Long Horn performed a snake slaying ritual by the well, and then led the team slowly forward.

When the road was narrow, the whole team came to an abrupt halt.

Long Horn was puzzled, and turned around to see what was going on, only to find that the ground was full of mud, and the wheels were stuck in the mud, making it impossible to move. Long Horn ordered his men to push the cart, but the vehicle was too heavy to move.

It turned out that this was the site of the ambush, and the villagers were heavily watering the roads, turning the dirt roads into mud puddles, which happened to limit the team to the enclosed area.

Just when the Yin soldiers were at a loss, a huge black net suddenly fell from the sky, covering the entire team, and then, several strings of firecrackers flew into the team, and the thunderbolt exploded, and people were panicked for a while.

This chaos did not matter, those who ran forward, those who fled, those who ran up, those who jumped down, twisted this huge net into a mess, and the whole team was tied up solidly.

The long horn was also tied to death, and he reluctantly drew his knife, trying to cut the net rope, but found that the net was extremely strong, and he couldn't keep cutting at all, and the long horn was in a hurry, and tried all his brute force to pull the net rope off, but in vain.

Four strong men appeared from both sides of the road, and as soon as they collected the huge net, they tied up the Yin soldiers and the people and the car as if they were tightening their pockets.

This black net is not ordinary, it is called "Eight Sections Net", which Zhang Xun learned from his master. The net rope is made of the bark of the Kui hemp tree, the spring of the Kui hemp tree is peeled, slightly roasted over low heat, cut into a long strip half an inch wide, take three reverse twists into a rope, and then soak in tung oil for several days, after soaking, not afraid of sharp weapons to cut and cut. Because it needs to be used at night, it is soaked in black oil and dyed black. Finally, according to the method of "three warps and four obliques", weave into a net, and the peculiarity of this net is that the eight nodes in the net are a unit, four living and four dead, can be deformed and stretched, the more the person who is netted struggles, the tighter the nodes are tightened, making it more difficult to get out.

Everyone lit torches and surrounded them, and at this time, everyone finally saw the true face of these Yin soldiers, who were nothing more than ordinary people pretending to be ghosts.

Ji Zheng took a step forward, looked at Changjiao and said with a smile: "I don't know where you are sacred?" ”

Changjiao didn't pay attention, just glared at Ji Zheng viciously, and Ji Zheng didn't say anything more, and ordered everyone to take care of this team of people and wait until dawn to deal with it.

The strong men cheered and lifted the three of them up, and the villagers lit their lights and took to the streets to celebrate. The night was as dark as day, and the silence and fear vanished in the laughter and laughter of the people, and before dawn, the celebration feast was held, and the elders raised their wine cups, and the strong men poured pottery bowls to toast the three heroes.

However, at this moment, a red fireball suddenly flew out of Longhorn's hand, soared into the sky, and then exploded in the air, and people hurriedly raised their heads, only to see ominous sparks in the sky.

The crowd that was originally frolicking suddenly fell silent.

"Haha, why don't you dying people continue to laugh?" Longhorn laughed wildly, and the laughter resounded through the clouds like a curse of death.

"Who the hell are you?" Ji Zheng scolded angrily.

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that you all die!"

At this time, Zhang Xun suddenly said casually: "Isn't it just reinforcements?" Hehe, you really think someone can save you. ”

"Hmph, I'm still hard-mouthed when I'm dying."

Zhang Xun smiled lightly: "Do you think I won't be able to think of reinforcements?" They are also in my ambush. Ha ha. ”

Hearing this, Changjiao was stunned for a moment, with an uneasy look on his face, but he didn't know that Zhang Xun, who was calm on the surface, was actually panicking.

"I ambushed fifty archers on your way to collect reinforcements! Hehe, your signal flare, I'm afraid it can only lead them to their lives. ”

As soon as Zhang Xun's words fell, the uneasiness on Changjiao's face suddenly disappeared, and he laughed and said, "Then let's go and see!" Ha ha! ”

"I see!" Zhang Xun suddenly brightened, turned to Ji Zheng and said: "There are only two roads in and out of the village, one south and one north, since you are not on the way, you must be on the way!" I think reinforcements will soon appear in the south, and we must be deployed immediately! ”

"You! How dare you lie to me! Longhorn rebuked hysterically.

Zhang Xun arched his hand towards the long horn, "Hmph, thank you!" ”

Subsequently, the strong men tied up the captured Yin soldiers one by one and sealed them and imprisoned them in a barn, and the strong men quickly adjusted their defenses under the command of the three of them, and the other villagers also went home one after another, closing the gates.

The whole village was dark and silent again.

In less than half an hour, a team of nearly 20 reinforcements appeared at the south entrance of the village, and they quietly sneaked into the village.

Dressed in black night suits, masked, and armed with short knives and swords, they were dressed like assassins, and they seemed to be unkind.

The leader was holding a double knife, he leaned out of the ancestral hall, and when he saw that there was no one, he waved his hand and beckoned the people behind him to follow. Just as everyone passed by the ancestral hall, a figure suddenly flashed behind them, and the figure stood upright in the middle of the road, and asked with a slight smile, "Are you here to kill people?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the man with the double knife suddenly turned around, stepped on the wall and rushed towards the figure, and then a bird of prey flew and pounced, the cold light did not appear, the double knife had been collected, and the figure had also been a heretic.

But the strange thing was that the figure fell to the ground, and its head hovered in mid-air.
