Chapter Seventy-One: Bamboo Basket Fetching Water

On a cool autumn night, the ancient trees are secluded, and a melodious and tactful, long and short flute sound breaks the silence of this autumn night.

With the sound of the flute, among the bushes and grasses, there was a rustling sound from time to time, from less to more, from sparse to dense, and a group of well-behaved little creatures woke up from their sleep, as if they were called by their masters, and gathered together in groups.

Looking at this group of hares, wild deer, and even foxes with pure white hair, so obediently and collectively dispatched, Long Shaocong and Matsukura Shigenobu couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but the light pull on the side snorted coldly: "Carving insect skills." ”

The appearance of these creatures has already alarmed the wolves, and seeing such a sumptuous food delivered to their mouths, even reasonable humans are afraid that it will be difficult to control, let alone these simple-minded beasts.

Gradually, the besieging team began to loosen, and even the few sturdy wolves that had climbed up the trees like arhats were planted one by one.

Just when everyone was happy, the white-haired wolf king suddenly raised his head and howled as if he was stimulated, and the already chaotic wolves were suddenly shocked, and they retracted the scattered formation.

Xiaoyaozi gave Dongdong a look, Dongdong understood, only to hear the melodious flute suddenly high-pitched, the little creature that was originally as quiet as a virgin, as if it had been electrocuted, immediately rushed to the east. Seeing the prey running unscrupulously in front of their eyes, the wolves couldn't bear it anymore, and they chased after each other, even the white-haired wolf king couldn't control it, and chased after him.

When everyone saw it, their faces were happy, but Xiaoyaozi's face became solemn, only to see him pinch the trick with his right hand, think about it for a while, and say, "It's actually in Kun's position." After speaking, he took out a charm from his bosom and whispered a few spells, and the charm instantly came out of his hand and ran southwest.

"Chase!" Xiaoyaozi changed his cynical appearance, jumped down from a two-zhang high tree, and then Matsukura Shigenobu, don't look at him at this time, he is burly at this time, but at the moment he is vigorous, but the sound of landing is much bigger than Xiaoyaozi.

Then it was Long Shaocong's turn, he looked down, suddenly felt dizzy in his eyes, shrunk his neck back, and looked at Qingwan and Dongdong, which meant that ladies were first.

Gently met his gaze at himself, changed from cold, raised his lips, and smiled back at Long Shaocong, this smile closed the moon and shy flowers, and captivated the city and the country, only making Long Shaocong intoxicated and forgetting that the high place was unbearable.

Just when he was stunned, Dongdong pushed hard in the back, and Long Shaocong said "ah" and fell under the tree, this time the cooperation between the two women can be described as seamless.

Matsukura Shigenobu looked up below and saw Long Shaocong jumping down, to be exact, he hurriedly reached out and copied it, and then caught Long Shaocong firmly and put it on the ground, the whole process was like receiving a burden, easy and easy.

Seeing Long Shaocong's frightened appearance, he didn't forget to add, "The little brother is very courageous, and it's not bad to stretch out his hand." ”

Long Shaocong tried his best to stabilize his figure, and smiled awkwardly at Shigenobu Matsukura, and had already thanked the eight ancestors of the two women one by one in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Qingwan and Dongdong floated down like Lingbo fairies, and the four of them didn't say much, so they hurriedly pulled out their legs and chased after Xiaoyaozi, but Qingwan fell behind.

Chasing about twenty zhang to the southwest, the four people found that Xiaoyaozi was standing with his back, and he was also standing opposite him, thin and short, wearing a brown robe, holding a magic staff, because it was a light veil to cover his face, he couldn't see this person's face, Long Shaocong only felt that the other party's eyes were unusually familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

At the feet of this person, there is also an incense burner, three residual incense sticks that have not yet been burned, green smoke curling, floating in the night sky, and there are a bunch of scattered yellow charms on the ground, but judging from the scene, the two did not fight, it should be Xiaoyaozi's timely appearance, which disrupted his plan.

When the brown-robed Taoist saw that Xiaoyaozi had four more helpers, his eyes were obviously fearful, and he involuntarily took two steps back.

At this time, Xiaoyaozi said: "Fellow Daoist, why don't you dare to look at people with your true face when you do such an unreasonable thing?" ”

The brown-robed Taoist didn't speak, but placed the punishment staff on his chest.

Xiaoyaozi snorted coldly, and said: "You are indeed smart, let go of the wolf's main palace to exchange positions, but choose the feminine Kun position, although the power of the wolf is weakened, but it is not easy to be detected, and the poor road is easy to find, but your heart is not right, today I Xiaoyaozi want to do the way for the sky." ”

After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, the man still didn't answer, but secretly pinched the trick, and there were words in his mouth......

Due to the distance, Long Shaocong couldn't hear what the other party said clearly, and when he wanted to stretch out his ears to listen carefully, he heard Xiaoyaozi shouting: "Everyone disperse!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately jumped away, only to hear a "boom", and a bolt of lightning came from the ground where everyone was standing just now.

"Ground Thunder Method?" Xiaoyaozi was shocked in his heart and said, "Which divine palace are you the god master?" "It turns out that the Earth Thunder Method is a Shinto superior Taoist technique, and only the gods of the shrines in various places are qualified to study it.

Seeing this vision, Matsukura Shigenobu looked surprised, and he couldn't believe his eyes, this battle-hardened general, who was accustomed to bloody killing, had never seen or heard of this technique of controlling natural thunder and lightning, and tonight's events completely subverted his previous cognition.

And Qingwan and Dongdong both looked strange, with only a slight horror on their faces, it seemed that the other party's thunder control technique made them palpitate. As for Long Shaocong, he had seen the Hirata Sect use this technique in Panxi Village before, and he had already taken precautions in his heart.

Seeing that the brown-robed Taoist missed a blow, he did not love to fight, but took advantage of the opportunity of everyone's distraction to turn around and flee.

But the others were distracted, but Xiaoyaozi kept paying attention to his every move, and when he saw that he was about to escape, he shook out a rope and grabbed the brown-robed Taoist priest by the waist, and shouted: "You come over for me." ”

The brown-robed Taoist was really obedient, took a few steps back, "plopped", and planted on his back.

Xiaoyaozi smiled proudly, and ordered Long Shaocong and Matsukura Shigenobu: "Tie him up for me." It was like a command.

The two of them admired him at this time, and they were already overflowing, but they were a little unexpectedly surprised by his way of capturing the enemy, and they thought that he would fight with the other party and show off his Taoism, but who knows, he actually solved it with a rope.

Long Shaocong and Matsukura Shigenobu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and shot a feather arrow from nowhere, right in the middle of the rope.

Xiaoyaozi was stunned for a moment, and immediately leaned forward, wanting to capture the brown-robed Taoist in one fell swoop before he stood up.

However, as soon as he swept his figure, he saw a black shadow rush ahead of him, lifted the brown-robed Taoist, turned around and jumped away. Xiaoyaozi was angry in his heart and shouted: "Hugh go!" Volley slashed out a palm.

The man in black didn't turn back, and turned around to dodge Xiaoyaozi's blow in the air, but when he heard a "click", a tree with a thick bowl mouth was broken by the palm of his hand.

The other four people were shocked, and before they could react, they saw four ninjas standing in front of everyone, and it was not difficult to see from their figures that it was actually a male ninja, a female ninja.

Long Shaocong said in his heart, it seems that there is another vicious fight, and he just wanted to draw his sword, but he heard Xiaoyaozi shouting: "Get out of the way!" ”

As soon as the words fell, four consecutive "booms" were heard, and suddenly the smoke of gunpowder rose up, covering everyone's sight.

In the face of this sudden change, everyone only cared about dodging, how could they still have the heart to chase the enemy, fortunately, when the smoke cleared, there were no casualties, but the enemy was nowhere to be seen.

Xiaoyaozi stood there with his hands behind his back, his face was pale, and he smiled and said: "In the end, the bamboo basket is empty, but the wolf plague has been lifted...... said this, he couldn't help sighing, and didn't continue......

Long Shaocong saw Xiaoyaozi's somewhat depressed back at this time, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Master...... Dao Chief, the other party is sneaking up behind the attack, it's no wonder you! ”

I don't know what the reason is, Long Shaocong vaguely felt that he had accepted this Taoist in his heart, as his teacher, a sense of intimacy, I don't know when, it was born in vain. As soon as the words came out just now, I almost shouted Master,

As a result, in a hurry, the words that I had thought of were not spoken, but only said an innocuous word.

Xiaoyaozi laughed and said heartily: "If you lose, you lose, everyone is gone, there's nothing to do here......"

After saying this, Dongdong bowed to everyone, and without saying hello, he turned around and jumped into the jungle. Long Shaocong saw that her face was pale, and secretly thought that the sudden change just now scared this little woman very much.

Seeing Long Shaocong looking at Dongdong's back, he looked stunned, snorted coldly, and walked over and handed an object to Long Shaocong's hand.

Long Shaocong took it and saw that it was a talisman given to him by Yiqingzi, and couldn't help but exclaim: "How can it be here!" ”

Qingwan said lightly: "Take care of your own things, don't let people cheat easily." With that, he turned and left.

Long Shaocong hurriedly stopped, thanked him and said, "Regarding the matter of your sister Luluo, please rest assured, Shaocong will do his best to rescue him when he goes back." ”

He turned around lightly, still with a clear and jade expression, and said, "You still care about yourself, you are in prison and you don't know it, no wonder you are called wood." ”

After saying this, his body jumped, and a white shadow disappeared into the night.

Long Shaocong was stunned there, his brain was in a mess, and he hadn't figured out what he had yet, but he heard someone next to him laugh and say, "Little brother, you are loyal and courageous, but you are very confused in some things!" ”

The person who spoke was naturally Matsukura Shigenobu, but I saw him close to Long Shaocong's ear again, and whispered: "In the future, remember that you must not mention another girl in front of a girl, let alone show a caring look."

After listening to this, Long Shaocong scratched his head and smiled.

"Okay, it's time for me to leave, little brother regrets it for a while!" After speaking, he turned around and bowed to Xiaoyaozi, and said goodbye to Long Shaocong.

Long Shaocong asked, "Heavy faith...... Big brother, where are you going? ”

When Matsukura Shigenobu heard this, he laughed and said, "Good big brother, little brother is also a person who values love and righteousness, which is quite in line with my appetite." I'm going here to go back to Yamato, Oda Nobunaga is attacking our city, and he has killed my lord, I don't want that little child to be comfortable! ”

Long Shaocong was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that Tsutsui Shunqing was dead, could it be that after he fled, Nobunaga sent the ninja army to chase and kill him? He couldn't figure out the reason, but Oda's army was strong, and Matsukura Shigenobu was going to be more auspicious......

Matsukura Shigenobu said again: "Little brother, you and I are our own masters, but our temper is quite fateful, I don't live in the place before, please forgive me, if you have the fate to meet again, please drink as a big brother, don't talk about national hatred, ignore family feuds." ”

The arrogance of these words was dry, and he only heard that Long Shaocong was a little emotional, and when he was about to speak, he found that Matsukura Shigenobu had already taken a big step and walked out of the jungle.

He sighed, turned around and found that Xiaoyaozi had disappeared without knowing when, and when he was in doubt, he heard an old voice coming from the forest: "I have something important to do, and after I finish dealing with it, I will come to you again, and take care of the spirit talisman that Senior Brother Yiqingzi gave you, it will be of great use in the future!" ”
