Chapter 160: The Snake Dances
Zhang Baoer couldn't bear it anymore and said: "This is playing the flute, it's clearly crying and mourning." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
They followed the sound of the flute, and on the top of the cliff on the right, a thin man sat cross-legged on a clean and smooth boulder, with a blood-red wine gourd tied around his waist, and a jet-black flute in his hand, and the sound of the flute came slowly with the breeze, like the sound of the soul dementor emanating from the distant Netherworld.
Long Zhuang suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God! Look! ”
Zhang Bao'er looked in the direction of Long Zhuang's finger, and after only a moment, the large and small snakes in the mountain forest seemed to hear the call, and rushed to surround the man.
For a while, the snakes danced wildly, as if they were fascinated, and the situation was like holding a snake clan assembly.
The man's flute became more and more shrill, making everyone want to plug their ears.
"Not good!" Wei Xianyun suddenly shouted.
It turned out that the serpents had left the flute man and were surging towards them like a flood, and they were shocked by the sight.
"Sprinkle realgar powder!" Long Zhuang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly instructed his dart master.
Realgar has the effect of repelling snakes, and the people of the dart board often enter the dense forest valley when they dart, and it is inevitable to encounter poisonous snakes, so realgar powder is a must-have thing for darts.
After listening to Long Zhuang's orders, the dart masters did not dare to slack off, and quickly sprinkled realgar powder around.
The realgar powder really worked, and the snake stopped when it came closer, as if it had encountered a blockage wall.
But as there were more and more snakes in the back, the realgar powder didn't work, and there were already snakes crawling towards them.
Everyone had to draw their swords and wave at the poisonous snake in front of them, Zhang Baoer saw so many snakes for the first time, his face turned white, and he froze on the spot. "Bao'er, hurry up to the carriage, don't get in the way here!"
Long Zhuang swung his sword and split a rising snake in half, and yelled at Zhang Bao'er.
Zhang Baoer came to his senses at this time, he knew that he couldn't help here, so he hurriedly ran to the carriage behind him.
This scene shocked Jiang Xiaotong and Li Zhiying, who were still in one of the carriages, and Li Zhiying buried his head in Jiang Xiaotong's arms, trembling all over.
Although Jiang Xiaotong still maintained his composure, his face turned pale, and he was obviously frightened.
"Bao'er, hurry up to the carriage!" Jiang Xiaotongfeng and Zhang Bao'er ran over and hurriedly shouted.
Zhang Bao'er glanced at Uncle Hua, who was trying to control the horses, and shook his head, if these snakes really rushed over, what role could the carriage play.
Several of Wei Xianyun's subordinates have been bitten by snakes, and if they are lucky, they will not encounter poisonous snakes, but they will not worry about their lives. If you're unlucky and get bitten by a poisonous snake, you're out of luck. One of the men was killed after only a few breaths after being bitten.
Zhang Bao'er stared at the man honking on the cliff and muttered, "I didn't expect that there is such a strange person in this world, even the snake listens to him." ”
Zhang Bao'er reminded Jiang Xiaotong of this, she pointed to the cliff and said to Uncle Hua: "Uncle Hua, how is it, are you sure?" ”
Jiang Xiaotong's meaning is very clear, I hope that Uncle Hua can climb the cliff to get rid of the piper, only in this way can the current dilemma be solved.
The cliff wall of the cliff is like a knife to cut out, it is impossible to climb at all, it is more than ten zhang high from the ground, from the ground to the top of the cliff is no longer within the reach of manpower, even if it is a clever light skill, it is impossible to fly up the cliff.
Obviously, the other party chose to play the flute and control the snake here, but also after some thought.
Uncle Hua looked at it for a moment and said to Jiang Xiaotong, "Shall I try it!" ”
"Be careful!" Jiang Xiaotong said.
Uncle Hua nodded.
"Uncle Hua!" Zhang Baoer suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Uncle Hua looked at Zhang Bao'er puzzled.
"If you make it back alive, I'll give you a drink!" Zhang Baoer said solemnly.
Uncle Hua had a smile on his face, he drew his long sword and held it in front of him: "Then you have to invite me to drink the best wine!" ”
After that, he only heard the sound of the wind in his clothes, and he had already shot out like a flowing arrow, extremely elegant and chic. Flying out of the three or five zhang to see the figure fall, the long sword in his hand lightly ground, with the help of the force and floated forward, like a boatman in the sea of snakes, repeated several times to the bottom of the cliff.
Uncle Hua didn't stop, and went to the cliff from the bottom of the cliff in one go. Halfway through, the long sword in his hand was replaced by two short blades at some point, and they were inserted into the cliff wall, climbing up like a gecko, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the top of the cliff.
"What a handsome kung fu!" Zhang Baoer was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but clap her hands and praise.
Wei Xianyun also showed a surprised look on his face, he didn't expect a coachman to have such skills, much stronger than the elite of Qiufeng Hall.
The flute player didn't expect someone to climb the cliff, and he even forgot to play the flute for a while, staring at Uncle Hua with an incredible gaze.
Without the urging of the flute, the attacking snake group suddenly stagnated.
Uncle Hua was not polite, the short blade in his hand shot at the piper like electricity, and the piper did not make any movement, and the short blade shot through the throat.
Uncle Hua was also stunned, the person who played the flute didn't know martial arts.
As soon as the flute player died, the snake array immediately sensed it, and it receded like a flood, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
The people who have been fighting hard with the snakes have time to wipe the sweat on their foreheads, and they are afraid for a while.
Wei Xianyun looked at the mess in front of him, a wry smile appeared on his face, it didn't take much effort, Qiufeng Hall lost seven more people, if it continued like this, he doubted that these people could insist on returning to Chang'an.
"Mr. Wei, someone is here again!" Long Zhuang listened attentively.
Sure enough, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and the ground began to tremble slightly. There should be a lot of people listening to the sound of horses' hooves, and they don't know whether they are friends or foes.
Wei Xianyun was startled in his heart, and following the prestige, the sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and in an instant, at the other end of the valley, a group of sergeants with Xuantie Bright Light Armor suddenly appeared, about a hundred people, and they stopped brushing about a hundred paces away from the dart team.
Although this team of sergeants was under the scorching sun, their eyes were as cold as frost and snow, and they knew at a glance that they were the elite of the Tang army.
One of the leading military generals took a few steps forward, hugged his fist in the direction of the dart team, and said: "Mr. Wei, the head of the dragon dart, the general is Yuan Zhen, the lieutenant of Guoyi in Luzhou Zhichong Prefecture, and he came to meet the county lord of Yuzhen on the order of Li Longji, the king of Zijun in Luzhou. ”
Li Zhiying listened to it in the carriage, and she said excitedly to Jiang Xiaotong: "Sister Xiaotong, it was the third brother who sent troops to pick us up, so we don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
Long Zhuang was also relieved when he heard this, and was about to step forward, but he heard Wei Xianyun shout in a low voice: "Wait, there is fraud in this." ”
After that, Wei Xianyun whispered a few words to the two black-clothed men beside him. The two men in black nodded, beat their horses and galloped towards Yuan Zhen. (To be continued.) )
