Chapter 51: Shura Hell

Under the leadership of Wei Caisi, the main attackers of Wuhu Village followed the "Flying on the Grass" and quietly came to the main gate of Yuxu Palace. "Flying on the Grass" listened carefully to the gate, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he gestured to the team behind him. Two tall minions stepped forward and lifted the "Grass Flying" to the courtyard wall.

"Flying on the grass" observed the courtyard at the top of the wall, and after confirming that there was no one, he landed lightly on one leg in the courtyard. Then he turned around and came to the courtyard gate, gently removed the latch, and opened the door. The two hundred minions outside swarmed in under the leadership of Wei Caisi, except for the four people who were left to guard the gate, the others rushed towards the moon gate on both sides of the main hall in two ways.

Just when all the minions entered the courtyard, and Wei Caisi, who was rushing to the front, was only five or six steps away from the Moon Gate, he heard a soft sound of "bang", and a bright "meteor" rose from the backyard of the Yuxu Palace, flew to a place dozens of feet above the heads of the thieves, stopped the rise, and slowly fell, and the dazzling light illuminated the front yard of the Yuxu Palace as if it were day.

The sudden change made all the thieves present stunned, and Wei Caisi, who was rushing to the front, had to stop. Because in addition to being attracted by the "meteor", with the bright "starlight", he suddenly found that at the moon gate in front, there were several layers of grain bags neatly stacked, and there was a strange iron shelf on the grain bag, on which was a relatively thick iron pipe, and behind the pipe stood a man wearing colorful clothes and a hat with the same colorful and strange style on his head, who was looking at him with disdain.

However, this Wei Caisi is worthy of being an experienced old thief, seeing that the opponent is prepared, he knows that this sneak attack has been detected by the opponent. At this time, if you turn around and run, you will definitely be chased by the other party, and the loss will be even greater, so it is better to fight, and there may be a possibility of winning with the strength of the crowd.

So he shouted: "Little people, so far there is only a fight, kill these bull noses, and behind them is a mountain of silver, everyone side by side." With that, he swung his knife and rushed forward. Those minions who were originally at a loss were encouraged by Wei Caisi's words, and they all came back to their senses, and they also rushed forward with their weapons.

Just as Wei Caisi shouted and led his men to rush forward, a firm and powerful order came from behind the Moon Gate: "Fight!" With this shout, the left and right moon gates, the main hall and the top of the two side halls on the left and right of the Jade Void Palace sounded like thunder at the same time. Bang! A total of six tongues of fire licked and rolled towards the thieves in the courtyard from different directions and angles.

Wei Caisi, who rushed to the front of the team, ran out less than two steps before he stopped as if he had hit a wall, and his back suddenly erupted with clouds of blood mist, but in an instant, his entire body seemed to be torn apart by an invisible liliang, broken into several pieces, and scattered and flew around. The minions behind him were splashed with blood, and before he could reach out to wipe them away, he himself was torn apart.

The companions around him continued to fall, the strange "shooting stars", the thunderous explosions, and the flesh and blood flying everywhere, so that the minions who were still alive all fell into boundless fear, thinking that they had attacked the Taoist temple and angered the gods, and they wanted to throw themselves into the Shura hell to be punished. No matter how much gold and silver treasure was in front of them, they did not have the heart to take it again. They only have one thought now, and that is to leave this Shura Hell as soon as possible. These frightened bandits are running around like headless flies, trying to find a place to hide in this murderous Shura field.

Perhaps it was God's kindness that the dazzling "meteor" went out a short time after it rose. Just as the surviving minions were secretly rejoicing, a torch flew up from the top of the main hall and landed impartially in the large bronze tripod in the courtyard, and then a soaring flame rose from the tripod, and the blazing fire illuminated the entire courtyard, so that it had nowhere to hide. As the copper tripod was ignited, from time to time there would be one or two black short round sticks with a slight flame flying up from the top of the main hall, accurately landing on the place where the bandits were most concentrated, and then burst in an instant, emitting dazzling fire and huge sounds, raising clouds of smoke. The minions around it fell to the ground one after another, some were killed on the spot, and some of them were unable to move, although they did not die instantly, and could only let out helpless wails.

The one-sided slaughter did not last long, but after four or five minutes, there was not a single person standing in the courtyard except for the dead and the wailing wounded. Even the four minions who were assigned to guard the gate were not spared, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they turned around and ran out without more than a dozen feet, and fell to the ground one by one, and there were one or more blood holes in their vests without exception. Behind them, more minions died at the gate, and the corpses blocked the entire gate, and the people inside didn't want to run out even if they didn't die.

Compared with the minions in the front hall who ended miserably, those minions who were responsible for copying the back road were lucky. After a "meteor" appeared in front of him and there was an explosion, Liu Wanbao, who led the team, knew that something was wrong. The miserable cries that followed were evidently from his companions, and he knew exactly what they meant. It must be that the Taoist priest of the Yuxu Palace has been prepared, and the eldest brother and the two hundred minions must be more auspicious, and at this time whether to save or not has become a question that requires Liu Wanbao to make a choice immediately.

After a short period of consideration, Liu Wanbao decided to retreat immediately and no longer pay attention to the things ahead. The reason why he made such a decision was not because Liu Wanbao disregarded brotherhood and did not pay attention to righteousness, but because the situation in front was too weird. Indescribable explosions, bright "meteors", these were out of his comprehension. Now he couldn't find any words other than spells. And in the face of a group of Taoist priests with advanced Taoism, these mortal fetuses with physical bodies can only have one choice, that is, to escape. So he made a quick decision, leaving only two of his cronies, and then ordered a leader to take the rest of his minions to retreat to Xiayunling immediately. And he himself had the courage to take the two cronies to the front, intending to see what was going on.

Although the leader who got the order was worried about the safety of the second master, he was even more worried about his own safety, so he just said "be careful about the second master", and fled from this treacherous place with this hundred minions. This group of minions was indeed lucky, and only a few minutes after they left, another dazzling "shooting star" slid over the place where they had just stood, making every grass and tree below clearly visible. Then a few people with strange-looking utensils in their hands and colorful clothes came running. The leader looked down at the snow that was trampled on the ground, and looked up again, but he didn't find anyone under the light of the "meteor", Zuihou shook his head unwillingly, and said, "It's a pity! Pity! Then he beckoned his companion to return to the Jade Void Palace. ,

In the front yard of the Yuxu Palace, under the reflection of the raging fire lit by firewood soaked in fire oil in the copper tripod and dozens of torches, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin were wearing self-made masks, enduring the strong smell of blood, leading the true Taoist priests and several coachmen of the Zhong family who were also wearing masks, laboriously carrying corpses and corpses all over the ground. Whether it was the others who crossed the crowd or the Jade Void Palace, including Jade Xuzi and Qingchen, it was the first time they had seen such a tragic situation. In particular, many bandits were beaten to pieces under the close-range strafing of the 12.7-millimeter high machine, and they were no longer formed at all.

The traversers were better, although in the face of these formed or unformed corpses, breathing the air that was still full of the smell of blood through the thick masks, the stomach had to turn over the river and the sea, and the retching from time to time continued. But I just felt disgusting and didn't have any other problems. The Taoist priests and coachmen had to endure not only these physical reactions, but also a huge psychological fear. These fears did not come from the corpses strewn across the ground, but from the powerful weapons used by the Wanderers—or, in their opinion, the Magic Weapons. They had just witnessed how vulnerable those bandits were in front of these "magic weapons", and that kind of situation could not be called a battle at all, it could only be regarded as a massacre, a completely one-sided merciless slaughter. Looking at the few supreme "magic weapons" that were still erected on the roof and at the moon gate, these true Taoist priests and coachmen felt a chill down their backs. Although some people were right next to the blazing copper tripod, they still felt the cold and their legs shivered involuntarily.

Even if he had seen Qingchen using modern weapons by the Wanderers, he was still frightened at this time. At first, all he saw was the power of a pistol, which could not be compared with an anti-aircraft machine gun. And although his master, Yu Xuzi Lao Dao, did not have any obvious reaction on the surface, he was thinking in his heart that what Master Tai said at the beginning was not all right. Judging from the situation just now, these weapons really do not rely on some supreme mana to exert their effectiveness, and the reason why these overseas returnees want to explain his power with spells is not just to protect themselves by playing tricks, in fact, these weapons are too powerful, and they will use some spells and other words to cover them up in order not to scare others.

However, it was the tremendous power of this weapon that made Yu Xuzi a little worried, and he was worried that if this matter spread, his juniors and their companions might not be at peace. Of course, he was not afraid that the accomplices of these bandits would come to them for revenge, in that case, their fate would be no different from that of these bandits in the courtyard. He was mainly afraid that if he let the suspicious people know about the existence of these weapons, then it was very likely that they would come to trouble these juniors and their companions. Especially after they move out of the Jade Void Palace, they will have more and more contact with secular people, and it will be more and more difficult to maintain a relatively independent existence. Once someone has a covetous appetite for their weapons, it's not easy. You can go on a killing spree against bandits, but you can't be so hasty and reckless when dealing with other shili, especially the shili of the government. If they don't handle it well, even if they have such a powerful weapon, it will be difficult to keep themselves safe. It seems that we have to have a good talk with Chief Wang and the others to remind them of the time.

Also having the same idea as Yu Xuzi is Zhong Shiwen and Young Master Zhong, this weak scholar is squatting in the latrine in the backyard at the moment, retching vigorously. Although he was not asked to participate in the clean-up work, Young Master Zhong, who has always lived a comfortable life, has been in this vomiting posture in the latrine after watching the scene in the front yard. Even though there was nothing left to vomit in my stomach, as long as I kept getting up, I felt the feeling of vomiting when I remembered what I had just seen. However, Zhong Shiwen is a person who usually pays attention to appearance, and he doesn't want to behave so embarrassed in front of everyone, so he has to solve it alone in the toilet.

But even in this situation, it still does not prevent him from making his own judgment on the current form. It's just that in addition to being the same as Yu Xuzi, he is afraid that his "returnee" friends will face the punishment of "innocent and guilty", so he thinks more. In addition to worrying about the safety of his friends, he also pondered how to bring this powerful Liliang into his family's control, or let it become his family's help and serve his family's great cause of revenge. He felt that he should return to the house as soon as possible and tell his father about the situation here, so that he could make a decision as soon as possible.

Yu Xuzi was thinking about his juniors and disciples, Zhong Shiwen was thinking about his friends and his family, and Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin and others had already thought about the possible situations they were worried about. At this time, the two of them were listening to Xu Shao'an's introduction to the situation of attacking and swooping into the air.

After Xu Shaoan commanded the members of the security team and other former soldiers to encircle and annihilate all the bandits in the front yard, he took five or six of them to rush towards the back mountain of Yuxu Palace. According to what was observed with the night vision device before, the bandit team was divided into two groups, one in front and one behind, and the one in the back was obviously to intercept the so-called fish that might have escaped from the Jade Void Palace. Unfortunately, when he led the team over, he found that the interception team had run away. Nothing was left but a jumble of footprints. Xu Shaoan had no choice but to return to Guanzhong with some regrets and report to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin.

Hearing that Xu Shao'an made a swoop, Wang and Zhang were also a little disappointed. This time, in order to thwart the attack of these bandits, they have put a lot of effort into it. All the Taoist priests and coachmen sent by the Zhong family in the Yuxu Palace actively participated in it, in order to be able to complete the battle and wipe out the future thieves, so as to be able to solve this threat once and for all. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader in charge of interception was so courageous, so unrighteous that he actually ignored his accomplices, and the battle had just begun here, and he fled with his subordinates. This presents a difficult problem for the traverser, and it is necessary to think carefully about what to do next.

The biggest worry now is that after they go back, they will spread the matter everywhere and make it known that the Taoist priest of the Jade Void Palace has a super killing weapon. At that time, although the people of this era will not understand the mystery of these weapons, as the saying goes, "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", once this matter is in an uproar, it will definitely be a big trouble for the crossing public and the Yuxu Palace.

Wang Kunjun pondered for a moment and said, "Those bandits have escaped, it's really a troublesome thing. Once the battlefield is cleared, we need to have a meeting right away to figure out how to deal with the aftermath. If this matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily, the road ahead for us will not be easy. ”

Zhang and Xu also had the same idea as him, and they both nodded yes when they heard the words. And Zhang Weixin suggested: "If possible, I suggest that Senior Brother Yuxuzi, Qingchen and Zhong Gongzi also be brought together for a meeting." They know a lot more about the current society than we do, and they may give us some more reasonable advice. ”

Xu Shaoan agreed with Zhang Weixin's suggestion, Wang Kunjun thought about it and nodded in agreement, but emphasized that before inviting Yuxuzi and them to participate in the meeting, the crossing people themselves needed to hold a plenary meeting first, and only after everyone agreed could they invite Yuxuzi and them to participate, Zhang and Xu had no objection to this. After the three of them reached an agreement, they threw themselves into the more urgent task of cleaning up the battlefield.

The work of cleaning up the battlefield was not basically completed until three or four o'clock in the morning, and the bandits who had lost their breath or had been torn apart were all moved to the foot of a mountain downwind of the Yuxu Palace. They laboriously dug a large pit there, threw the body into it, poured fire oil on it for cremation, and buried it with earth. Although it was downwind of the Yuxu Palace, the smell of burning corpses could not be transmitted to the Yuxu Palace, but the smell near the big pit was conceivable. Therefore, the person in charge of carrying the body over held his breath when he approached the pit, and after throwing the body into the pit, he ran back at full speed, and only opened his mouth to gasp for air until he was far away from the pit. Rao is like this, many people can't eat for the next few days, and they can't help but retch when they see meat.
