The small fishing village is located on a peninsula jutting out of the former Aral Sea in the southwest corner of Xuan Chen Kingdom, and is the southernmost tail of the watershed on the east side of the Jun River. In contrast, the territory of the Greedy Marquis is far north of the watershed, bordering the knot of the wild mountains. As one of Qi Zuo's close attendants, Cai Huan had heard somewhat of Xuan Chen's current situation - it was really strange to encounter the greedy rebels in the south near the sea.

The young man exploring the path ahead had put on his helmet, and the helmet was topped with a long white tassel that swayed from side to side on the silver scale armor behind him. Because the fireballs are projectile, you don't have to worry about fireballs falling in the air when you walk through the camp.

But since the woods were one after another, the fire on that side soon spread to this end as well, and it was inferred that the enemy's camp should be outside the boundaries of the woods, so as not to be affected.

Therefore, the two of them did not pay much attention to their whereabouts, but moved quickly behind the thick trunks of one fir tree after another, on the one hand, they wanted to solve the enemy problem quickly, and on the other hand, they were forced by the fire spreading behind them.

Cai Huan followed behind the young man, only from the back, his actions were very decisive, and every step seemed to be confident.

Suddenly, he picked up speed, flickered between the trunks of the trees, and stomped onto the treetops.

Cai Huan didn't have time to think about it, he just thought that he had found something in front of him, and he also kicked the trunk of the tree a few times and stepped on the branches of the tree adjacent to him.

However, there was no emergency ahead, and Cai Huan stood on the treetops, with an unobstructed view of the situation ahead.

"The girl is really skilled. The young man standing on another tree exclaimed.

Cai Huan didn't answer, there was more impatience in his eyes, and he jumped forward quickly.

The young man grinned lovingly, and then followed, leaping from tree to treetop.

"There are not many women who can walk in the world, and they have only recently come to Xuanchen...... Looking at the girl's skills and style, it won't be the famous female left envoy of the Nine Inch Cliff!"

The two were separated by a distance of not long or short, and there was even more wind and fire in their ears, and the young man shouted loudly behind him, and the sound barely reached Cai Huan's ears.

Click!

When Cai Huan heard this, the branch he was stepping on broke with a crisp sound. In a hurry, the young man who should have been behind him suddenly fell to his side and stretched out a woman's white and slender hand.

Cai Huan, who was falling, gritted his teeth and reluctantly shook that hand. When the two hands touched, she felt it—the man's hands were thinner than her own, and there were no calluses on them.

But such a hand is not lacking in strength, I saw the young man bend his arm like a rod, and the Cai Huan in his hand was thrown ashore like a hooked fish.

"Just guess a thing or two below, the girl doesn't have to care. He chuckled and tried to caress Cai Huan's cheek with the back of his hand, but was thrown away by the latter.

"He who speaks with a sword, his hands are his ears. He didn't mind, and the hand that was thrown away reached out again, wanting to pull Cai Huan up, "If you don't care about it like a girl, he's afraid that he won't be able to hear anything in the future." ”

At this time, the direction of the wind in the forest suddenly changed, and the smoke drifted in the direction of the two of them, and the fire became crazy, and the crackling sound became more and more miscellaneous and closer.

"Quick. ”

The young man tore off a piece from Cai Huan's sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and hurriedly continued to jump forward.

Before Cai Huan could react, the young man had already jumped out of the way, and the smoke wafting from behind choked her several times. Cai Huan felt a sense of resentment that he had been tricked but had nowhere to return it, so he flew up and chased after him.

......

Outside the woods, the Sky Egret Flag of Xuan Chen Wang Shi fluttered high. Among the kings, there are no Jianghu warlocks who practice strange skills, but the situation today is different.

There are more than 800 permanent troops stationed at the Xiangshanwei Military Station, which are commanded by one Eagle Captain and two Eagle Strike Captains. This peninsula in the south of Xiangshan is neither a border nor a front line, and in ordinary days, it only deals with some displaced people from the city or the Pandong thief ships drifting on the Aral Sea.

However, the sudden appearance of a greedy rebel army in the south changed the quiet life of the garrison at the end of the lane, and half a year ago, Fang Shaoqian, the commander of Yingyang, received a message from the General Annan's palace, asking him to take the garrison of the whole army station to ambush at the cobblestone crossing.

That night, a rebel army of more than 1,000 people really appeared at the cobblestone crossing, and under the order of Captain Yingyang, ambushes roared out from both sides. It's just that the effect of the surprise attack is not as good as imagined, and the rebels who were attacked quickly restored order, after all, the government soldiers are not superior in numbers, and they have been neglecting the battle for a long time, and the surprise attack showed a decline after a blow.

Captain Ying Yang was originally a cautious person, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he withdrew his troops early. In today's Xuan Chen, the propaganda above is just a piece of paper, and the soldiers at hand are the capital of real money.

Separated by a forest, the soldiers of the military station and the rebels from the south confronted each other, not to mention the rebels who were damaged, and Captain Ying Yang did not dare to act rashly considering the difference in numbers.

This continued until this morning.

In the open space outside the fir grove, the mouth of the large camp in the square corner was open, and the three well-draped officers looked together at the front of the camp tent, the makeshift lookout that the craftsmen had been busy with since the morning had barely erected.

On the lookout more than three zhang high, there are two people, one tall and one short, the tall one wears a yellow robe and a yellow crown, and the other is dusting off a dusty hand, and the other is dusting off a gray-black cloth;

The short body is less than half the length of the height, and from the other side, I found that she is just a teenage girl. The girl held a brass urn in both hands and shook it in circles on her chest.

In the bronze urn, there is the sound of stone balls rolling. The copper urn follows the arm, the stone ball follows the copper urn, and the stone balls draw spirals on the wall of the urn, and one by one they are thrown out of the mouth of the urn.

In mid-air, the stone ball that was originally the size of a projectile swelled, and the cracks revealed a golden red like molten iron. The stone ball grew larger and larger, and the original stone blue surface was divided and swallowed by the golden-red cracks that were getting wider and wider. Finally, there was no trace of variegated color on the fireball that had swelled in the air to the size of a human head, and its whole body was golden red and fiery and terrifying, and it was thrown straight to the other side of the fir forest.

It was only a matter of a moment for the copper urn to shoot out a fireball, but the girl had been shaking the copper urn for more than half an hour, her body was already a little swaying, her thin arms were shaking, and her thin calves were also shaking, seeing that more than ten stone balls were turned into fireballs and thrown out, but the Huangguan Lao Dao on the side took out more than ten more from his sleeve and sprinkled them into the urn. The girl's trembling figure sank, and she leaned on the root of the old thigh in an instant.

"Qingping Taoism, a spell that is indescribable and uneven, it is really a good word when you see it with your own eyes. ”

Under the lookout and in front of the camp, Captain Ying Yang stroked a handful of goatee on his chin and said appreciatively.

The government soldiers who were waiting on the side also heard this comment, and there were all kinds of voices of discussion, not all of them agreed.

"The evil sect is crooked. ”

The adjutant behind Captain Eagle spat and disagreed.

On the other hand, the other adjutant was much more sensible, and he plausibly laughed and laughed, no longer continuing this sensitive topic, but asked for instructions with a dutiful appearance: "Do you tell the master of Qingping Dao to stop his magical powers and let our people attack it?" ”

"Let him shake, let him shake, as many fireballs as there are shaken! General Wang said that he would borrow 300 people from the Qingping Army to make up for me, this old way, this old way, hahahaha, this old way is more than 300 people!" Captain Ying Yang couldn't stop laughing as he spoke, and he did not hide his praise for the help sent by the Qingping Army.

Seeing the fire raging on the other side of the fir grove, Captain Ying Yang was even more happy, he laughed and patted the shoulders of the two lieutenants, "Maybe it won't be our turn to play, hahaha!"

"Borrowing someone from one rebel army to fight another rebel army, and still borrowing such a cursed demon technique, the subordinates really don't know what Captain Ying Yang has to be happy about!"

The adjutant with a straight face was still uninteresting, and asked with a straight face, puzzled.

"Forget it, forget it, Brother Yu can't see Pingdao's spell, let him go back to the camp to rest first. Another adjutant suggested to Captain Eagle Yang in a round.

Captain Ying Yang was indeed a little disappointed, but he was not incomprehensible, he knew that Adjutant Yu had some trouble with the Qingping Army, so he didn't pursue his confrontation, but just waved his hand and motioned to invite him back to the camp.

At this time, the direction of the wind suddenly changed, and the smoke from the forest drifted to this side, and the heat wave was one after another, so that the soldiers couldn't open their eyes.

Captain Ying Yang and the sensible adjutant who were standing on the tuyere were even more panicked, Captain Ying Yang raised his hand to fan in front of him, coughed twice, patted the adjutant on the shoulder, turned his back and walked into the tent, no longer looking at the old trick.

Thinking that without spending a single soldier, with an old Taoist mantra and a female baby shaking urn, he can burn an army of more than 1,000 people without leaving a piece of armor, Captain Ying Yang is very happy, but he is also a little afraid - fortunately, the government soldiers at hand do not have to be attritional, and he is afraid that one day he will have to be the enemy of the Taoist priests of the Qingping Army.

In short, today is more joyful than sad, and it is not unpleasant. Captain Eagle shook his head, threw all his thoughts away, and chatted with the adjutant beside him as he went to the tent.

“...... It's just that the old man with the yellow crown doesn't shake the copper urn by himself? Even if he asks someone to do it for him, he shouldn't torture this teenage girl. He pretended to be puzzled without saying anything, not really expecting an answer.

The adjutant on the side was also well versed in the number of ways to chat, and while opening the curtain in front of the tent for Captain Yingyang, he speculated with concern: "My subordinates heard that the warlocks in southern Xinjiang use eunuchs to dance to avoid disasters and pray for rain and blessings. Qingping Dao's spells look simple, but the methods in them are not known to outsiders, and there are all kinds of exquisiteness. ”

"Haha, you kid is humble and humble and will show you the fame even if you don't have a name. Captain Eagle laughed as he slipped into the tent.

The adjutant followed Captain Eagle into the tent and lowered the curtain in his hand to level it.

"I wonder if Captain Ying Yang has heard of Master Fu of Taiwei Country?" the two straightened up in the tent, and the adjutant continued to gossip.

"Who?" asked Captain Ying as he sat down beside his desk and asked cooperatively.

"Yan Xuan, Qingping Dao is the head of the class in Taiwei, and he is also a pivotal figure in the Cunya Dao altar. ”

"Oh?" Lieutenant Ying Yang was intrigued, "how does that compare to the Jia military division of the Qingping Army?"

The adjutant smiled mysteriously and shook his head, "Master Jia only knows some power techniques, even Xuan Chen's Qingping Daoist may not obey him; At this, the adjutant's eyes widened exaggeratedly.

Captain Ying Yang also pretended to be surprised and stretched his neck closer, "It seems that you are really right, why didn't I see you kid talking about this in the military station." ”

"Xiaguan and Captain Ying Yang said that these are not chatting and playing," the adjutant also approached, and sat on the ground to face Captain Yingyang, "This Master Yan is the same age as Captain Ying Yang to understand the Dao, just saw that you are quite interested in Qingping Taoism, and Xia Guan has the courage to discuss these with you." ”

Indeed, in the Xuan Chen Kingdom, which was in turmoil in Qingping Dao, it was not necessary to say that the mouth of the official, even the mouth of the people did not dare to say a good word about such a demonic way. However, Captain Yingyang's sense of smell is very sensitive, and he knows that for the Xuanchen royal family, the greedy rebels in the north are the more deadly enemies, after all, one of them wants power, and the other wants country. It is a matter of time before Xuanchen Wangshi and the Qingping Army negotiate peace, and today's Huangguan Lao Dao who is rolling stones into fire is the best evidence.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to praise Xuanqi of Qingping Taoism in front of the army, and suppressed the adjutant Yu who sneered at the Qingping army. But if you want to say that you are going to practice that thing, Captain Eagle Yang is not cold.

He coughed lightly and stretched out his hand to signal the adjutant who was kneeling in front of him to come to his side.

"Yu Zhang, ah......" Captain Ying Yang called out the name of the adjutant in a serious voice, and wanted to discuss with him again whether Qingping Dao was right or not, but a sudden explosion interrupted him.

Outside the tent, the brass urn weighing five catties and nine taels was spinning on the ground, and the stone balls that had not yet turned into fireballs rolled out one by one, I don't know if it was because of the light or air outside the urn, or something else, they crackled and exploded, but fortunately, the power was not great.

Raising his head, the sword light went first, and the two figures had already swept onto the lookout, and in the blink of an eye, the old man's yellow robe had been soaked in blood, and a head wearing a yellow crown rolled to the ground. The brass urn, which was spinning in place, came to a halt when it touched the lifeless body.

The other figure froze in place for a moment, obviously not expecting that one of the enemies would be a teenage girl. The blood that spurted out of Lao Dao's broken neck splashed on the girl's cloak, and it melted into the gray-black of the whole body in three or two strokes, and there was no change in the slightest.

The figure still did not attack the girl, but was carried by his companions, and both jumped down from the lookout, causing a tremor among the fir trees.

"Someone! Someone! Enemy attack!!"

Captain Eagle poked his head out of the tent to see the scene and cried out loudly. The soldiers were somewhat alarmed by the explosion of the stone in the urn, and soon gathered around in groups.

The adjutant preempted Captain Yingyang, and walked three steps and two steps to the place where the bronze urn and the corpse of the old man fell. The body, the head, the bronze urn, and in addition to the wrong gold and silver wrenches carved with an eagle's beak. The adjutant picked up the wrench and held it up in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. Behind him, Captain Eagle snatched it down.

"This is ......," he was a little incredulous, "and he disappeared when he ambushed the rebels at the cobblestone crossing half a decade ago. ”

"The brass urn that the Assassin used this wrench to knock down. The adjutant reported.

"Provocative...... Captain Ying Yang played with the wrench on his fingertips, and squeezed the last one into his palm.

You have the ability to take my head...... Do you disdain that?

Scold!

Captain Eagle snorted coldly and turned back into the tent.

......

"How to get there?"

In the woods, the two people whose faces were covered with rags looked at each other, and the part of the cloth on their mouths and noses was already pitch black, and they were all blocked smoke and dust.

The wind direction remained the same, and the fire continued to spread in this direction. One is a fire, the other is a soldier, and the two are cornered.

Outside the woods, Captain Ying Yang sat in his tent, and more than 800 government soldiers stood outside the camp, waiting for the fire to force the two assassins out of the forest.

"The girl was born in a cliff, and she hasn't learned any Taoism?" the young man did not have a sense of crisis, but asked with a hippie smile.

Cai Huan did not answer. She won't. Not everyone can learn those bells and whistles.

The young man didn't chase deeply, but just got closer, stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and said, "That girl doesn't mind giving you some advice on the Dao technique below. ”

To be honest, Cai Huan was a little surprised, but not so surprised. After all, the seemingly frivolous young man in front of her has already shown too many skills that she didn't expect. She bowed her head slightly, her eyes glancing up slightly at him, not placing her hand on his, but grasping his wrist.

The young man smiled understandingly, like an adult seeing through a child's mind, which made Cai Huan very unhappy.

I saw that his eyes were slightly closed, there was a streamer in the corners of his eyes, and between two heartbeats, his body was like riding a kamikaze, and there was no sense of ups and downs of his feet, but straight up and down, left and right.

In this divine wind, Cai Huan could neither feel the obstruction of the jungle nor the invasion of flames, only the flickering wind and the golden streamer in the corners of the young man's eyes could only be seen and felt around him.

In a trance, the two of them had already walked through the woods to the village where the doctor lived on the other side. At this moment, the houses on the left and right have been reduced to rafters, and when you look out from this side, the originally lush fir forest has become bare and black, and the line of fire is still farther away, and the last line of trees is swallowed up by the strong wind.

Cai Huan shook her head, sobering herself up from the wonderful experience just now—the magic technique, she knew what kind of technique the young man was using. Most of the masters who sit in the altar and practice the Dharma disdainfully talk about it, but the support soldiers who do not have much understanding are often given.

However, among the guards that Cai Huan had seen who had been taught the Divine Technique, the fastest one could only take a piece of chess ten steps away, and Senior Brother Zhuang might be able to take it twenty steps away;

"Who the hell are you?" she didn't think there was any place in the world where she could learn more profound Dao techniques than the Inch Cliff Dao Altar.

"I didn't ask the girl who she was, and the girl just asked if she owed some reason. The young man tilted his head and pretended to be polite, like a sour talent.

He still lacked a folding fan in his hand, so he made a sword finger with his right hand, knocked it on the palm of his left hand instead, and then said: "Hero don't ask the source, I'm just a pawn in the greedy spirit army, the girl just needs to tell the ......."

“...... How many ranks can I rank in the Inch Cliff Dao Altar?"
