Chapter 75

According to the big shopkeeper, in recent days, he can always feel that there is a powerful divine sense snooping on the Divine Sword Peak, although this divine sense is not very secretive, but he can't find its precise location, but that divine sense doesn't seem to have the ability to compete with the big shopkeeper, as long as the coercion is emanated, the divine sense will disappear temporarily.

This kind of thing is really worth paying attention to, and the people who dare to snoop knowing that the big shopkeeper is sitting in the mountains are by no means ordinary people!

Li Xunlian frowned and listened, only to feel that what had happened recently was too much and too strange, first a mysterious force announced that he would support him as a king, and then Hu Wan fell into a coma inexplicably, and then he encountered an unidentified super master on the battlefield, and then the situation actually developed to Shenjian Peak......

All kinds of things are confusing, as if there is a dark cloud hanging in the heart, which makes people heavy and depressed.

"Do you think the mysterious forces that support King Cheng have anything to do with this?" asked Li Xunlian.

Hearing this, the big rising stock nodded slightly, then shook his head again, and said: "It's hard to say now, at the moment Kyushu is surging, all forces are ready to move, and there are not a few who have reasons and motives to spy on us." ”

Indeed, Taoism has a reason, barbarians have a reason, a king has a reason, the imperial court also has a reason, and even Buddhism cannot be completely excluded.

Of course, if it's really a Buddhist snoop, things are easier. Because at best, they want to determine what is going on in the inn, and there is no sinister motive. As for the other forces of their own, including the imperial court, it is not easy to say.

This kind of thing cannot be completely solved by speculation alone, speculation is to find a breakthrough, and if you want to really solve the problem, you must start to investigate.

But the most important thing at the moment is Hu Wan, he has been in a coma for half a month now, this is definitely not a joke, although Hu Wan's state has been very stable during the coma, but this stability itself is not an anomaly!

Who would be in a coma for half a month for no reason? What's more, Hu Wan was still a Xuan cultivator with a Tiangang body.

Everyone came to Hu Wan's residence from Li Xunlian's big tent, even after the personal inspection of the big shopkeeper, they could only confirm that Hu Wan's coma was not caused by Gu magic or lowering his head, and as for the reason, he couldn't give it.

Now Li Xunlian is a little hairy, and he can't even find the reason for the big shopkeeper, so Hu Wan's situation will definitely be several times more complicated than he expected!

Worries and irritability filled his heart, but no matter how worried he was, it could only be in vain, so he had no choice but to let the big shopkeeper take Hu Wan back to Shenjian Peak to recover slowly, and by the way, Gu Panxi was also taken away from here, Li Xunlian had a hunch that in the next time, danger would be everywhere.

It was as if a dark door separating intrigue and sinister had quietly opened the cracks, and countless weirdness was spreading.

......

The place where Li Xunlian chose to be stationed is the top of a high mountain in the mountain range, the top of the mountain is flat, and the radius is about a few miles, although this peak is not extremely high, but it can see the enemy Dazhai in the distance. However, this is not an advantage, as choosing this location means that the enemy will be able to see their situation more clearly.

Of course, Li Xunlian would not be so stupid as to not even think of this, the reason why he chose this place was precisely because of this consideration.

This treacherous mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles, with many towering peaks and majestic peaks, and the terrain can be described as extremely complex. It is not easy for Li Xunlian to thoroughly study the terrain here in a short period of time, on the contrary, the enemy has occupied this mountain range for a long time, and it is exaggerated to say that they are extremely familiar with every grass and tree in the mountain range, so they can naturally easily monitor Li Xunlian's side through various means.

Since no matter what, they can't escape the surveillance of the other party, so they simply choose a place where they can effectively observe the enemy's Dazhai and station, as for whether it is under the nose of the enemy, it doesn't matter anymore.

However, according to the informant investigation, the bandit leader of the other party is not a foolish person, and he should be able to think of this, but why can he think of it but not deploy defenses here, and let Li Xunlian easily occupy this mountain, it is a thing worth pondering.

There should be three reasons, one of them: the information heard by the reporter is not accurate, this bandit seems to be shrewd but is actually stupid, but the possibility of this is very small, stupid can be pretended, but shrewdness is not easy to pretend.

Second: This bandit is arrogant and arrogant, so he doesn't take Li Xunlian in his eyes at all, thinking that even if he exposes his vision to Li Xunlian, it is insignificant. Generally speaking, to be able to become a big bandit leader in the Baili Mountain Range, there must be some extreme conceit in his bones, and he likes to use deliberate "indulgence" to show his domineering when dealing with enemies.

Third: There are certain characteristics in this place itself, and this characteristic leads to the fact that the bandit leader does not need to fortify and garrison, and Li Xunlian camped here, which is likely to kill himself. As for what this characteristic is, it may be that the enemy has already set a trap, or it may be that the mountain is a natural danger in some way, in short, if this conjecture is true, then this place is not a good place.

If you can make a vision, it must be accompanied by actions to verify the reality of the idea. However, the ending is very disappointing, about the bandit, no matter how the information is investigated, but there is no clue about him, as if this person's deeds were cut off at the beginning of the battle in the Southlands, so that people can't catch a clue.

As for the characteristics of the mountain, after repeated inspections and exploration, nothing unusual was noticed. There are no tunnels in the mountain, and there are no signs of loose cracking on the mountain walls, in short, none of the suspicious points that Li Xun can think of do not exist.

In this way, the bandit leader is even more unfathomable, but this is okay, Li Xunlian simply ignored him, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since they can't guess the opponent's moves in advance, then they will see that the tricks are good.

As the saying goes, there is no sun and moon in the mountains, in the blink of an eye, it has been stationed here for three days, before this the enemy did not have any movement, but today the enemy village suddenly ignited a beacon fire, and then the horn sounded, and the black oppressive figure rushed down from the mountain peak.

At this time, it was daytime, and the opponent sounded the horn before the battle, which indicated that it was going to call for battle. Normally, the first call for the battle between the two armies will be present, and this is a good opportunity for Li Xunlian to see the unfathomable bandit leader with his own eyes.

According to rough estimates, the enemy dispatched about 1,000 people this time, which means that there are still 2,000 men and horses left in the village, and these 2,000 people seem to stay in the village, but in fact, Li Xunlian does not dare to guarantee that even if he suddenly appears in his position at the next moment, it is very possible.

After all, this is the home of the opposing side.

For the sake of insurance, Li Xunlian did not let the big shopkeeper follow, and brought 1,000 men and horses out of the battle, leaving 500 men and horses and the big shopkeeper to guard the camp. Nothing surprising, this is a safe move.

Because there is a big treasurer in charge, even if the opponent's 2,000 men and horses really take advantage of Li Xunlian's battle to secretly attack the camp, it will not matter. And on his side, with a thousand Gu Xuan monks to deal with a thousand evil bandits, there must not be any pressure.

Of course, if the big shopkeeper takes action in person, the bandit leader will not be able to go back after going down the mountain. However, Hu Wan and Gu Panxi cannot be put in danger in order to kill a bandit, after all, the possibility of local robbery is quite large.

Before leaving, Li Xunlian hung the sachet that Gu Panxi embroidered on his waist, and Gu Panxi pulled out a smile when he saw this. She didn't feel at ease, how could she laugh.

At this point, Li Xunlian is selfish. With the guardianship of the big shopkeeper, Gu Panxi must be safe, which Li Xunlian is relieved of. But in the same way, without the big shopkeeper, Li Xunlian's danger factor will skyrocket, and as for how Gu Panxi should worry about himself, he can't care so much.

The men and horses of the two sides met at the bottom of a valley in the mountains, which was located between the peaks on all sides, and the terrain was relatively vast, when it was ten miles in circumference.

When he arrived here, the other party was already waiting in the valley, but Li Xunlian did not rush into the valley, but sent the four sword slaves to explore the surrounding peaks, and only after confirming that there were no ambushes did he lead the men and horses into the valley.

Generally speaking, bandits are the first to believe in righteousness, and it may be Li Xunlian's heart to find out whether there are ambushes, but this is war, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they are more careful, in exchange for one more life.

After Li Xunlian entered the valley, he rode at a gallop, and it seemed that he was not calling for a battle, but a messenger.

Sure enough, after a while, the horse rushed to Li Xunlian and the others, and did not dismount, shouting: "Who is the consul, our big boss has something to say to him." ”

Although this group of guys has been recruited by the king, it seems that they still haven't been able to get rid of that banditry. But the more this happened, the more comfortable Li Xunlian became, and it was much easier to deal with bandits than with those generals in the regulations.

"I am. Li Xunlian rode his horse forward a few steps and walked out of the crowd.

The bandit looked at him a few times and sneered: "When Lao Tzu is a fool, can so many big men be at the mercy of a hairy boy?"

"Do you believe it or not, you don't have time to talk nonsense with you, what do you big bosses have to say?" Li Xunlian said.

"Hey, the big boss said, although we are recruited on the surface, but in fact it is still the unrestrained king of the mountain, now Kyushu will be in chaos, the king has the heart to enter the world, if you know each other, you will be obedient to us, everyone is brothers, in the future, we will fight the world together, and enjoy the glory and wealth together. The bandit spoke as if he was leaning behind his hand, with a smug look on his face.

Some important clues can be learned from this person's expression and words. First, his movements and expressions showed that this man had great admiration for their great master, and it was 100% certain that the leader who could convince his subordinates would certainly not be a fool.

Second, in the words relayed by this person, their big boss mentioned that Kyushu would be in turmoil. Kyushu will be in turmoil, not to mention this kind of thing, not to mention that he is a bandit leader who lives deep in the mountains, and even many officials and generals who talk about Kyushu affairs all day long are not aware of it, in their opinion, the conquest of the king is no different from the conquest of some rebellions in the past, and it is destroyed. But we can't see something deeper in this war. This big boss can have such a vision, and he really can't be taken lightly.

Third, the other party wants to submit to himself without even fighting face-to-face, which is either an innate strong self-confidence, or a well-known and well-planned plan.

Or, both! If that's the case, it's a little scary for this person to be a big boss.

He actually asked the innkeeper to submit to him, how sure should this great master dare to speak such wild words......

"Oh, I'm curious, why did your boss let this son bow down. Li Xunlian asked with a smile.

The bandit sneered again, and replied: "With you not having the slightest chance of winning, if you are obsessed, then you will only end up in the mountains south of the Bone Town." ”

"Actually, Ben Gongzi also has the heart to surrender, but I don't do it as a good innkeeper, so I have to have a reason to convince me, right?" Li Xunlian stroked the mane on the horse's neck, playing with the taste.

Hearing this, the bandit laughed and said: "Boy, you have to know that your life is now in the hands of the big boss, but he is the most annoyed that others ask him what reason he wants, just say this in front of me, if it is in front of the big boss, you are now on the ground." ”

"Is it so evil?" Li Xunlian said with a smile.

"It's so wicked. The bandit replied with a smile.

I wanted to get something out of this mouth, but it's clear that this guy is not what he seems, and he is also a scheming character. Come to think of it, if he didn't have a scheming, the other party wouldn't have sent him to persuade him to surrender. If you send a "second fool" to come forward, you will first get all the secrets of your "family" out before you can persuade the enemy to surrender.

Since he couldn't speak, he simply didn't waste any more time, but Li Xunlian just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but suddenly there was a clear drink from the peak on the left, which was actually the voice of the big shopkeeper.

"Which big boss is so domineering that he has recruited all the surrenders to my inn?"

The voice came from far to near, and at the same time as the sound penetrated into the ears, the big shopkeeper had already appeared in front of everyone.

Although Li Xunlian was very curious about why the big shopkeeper came, he knew that the big shopkeeper must have his own reasons, and now was not the time to ask such a question, just wait.

The other party has obviously never seen a big shopkeeper, let alone a master of this level. It is at least three or five miles from the mountains on the left to this place, and this masked guy actually stepped forward and appeared directly in the field, and his cultivation was amazing.

"Who are you?" the bandit was surprised, but he was not afraid at all.

The reason why he is not afraid must be bold, but the most important thing is that the big shopkeeper did not deliberately show coercion, otherwise such a little minion, not to mention the flow of urine in the buttocks, is also weak in his limbs.

"You are only qualified to listen to me. ”

The implication is that you are not qualified to ask me, and the chief treasurer walked slowly towards him, and at the same time said, "Go back and call your big boss, and say that I want to see him." ”

"No, who are you!" the bandit asked again, but it was no wonder that he didn't say who he was, how could he answer his boss.

This question did not seem to the big shopkeeper to make any sense, he did not need and did not have the right to know who he was, and the same meaningless question was asked to himself twice, and he had to be given a little warning to this person.

A chilling murderous intent pervaded in vain, not to mention the bandit, it was these guards cultivated by Li Xunlian, and they were all terrified.

"I, I, I ......"

The bandit was speechless by the majesty suddenly emanating from the big shopkeeper, and at this moment he only felt that he had been shrouded in death, no matter what, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, he couldn't escape from it, even if he was the omnipotent master in his mind, he couldn't save himself. Even the courage to escape is gradually disappearing......

"One last time, tell him to come and see me. ”

The coercion dissipated, the bandits collapsed to the ground, and the words of the big shopkeeper penetrated into the ear drums.

Originally, I felt a little prostration, but after hearing this sentence, I had to muster up all my strength, it was a feeling that could not be violated, and if I didn't obey it a little, I was afraid that my life would be difficult to protect.

In fact, the big shopkeeper would not do anything to him, and this person was not fatally culpable, but in the eyes of the bandit, just one sentence had already made him touch the gates of hell.

The bandit turned around and wanted to run away, but after staggering a few steps, he remembered that he was riding a horse, and when he looked back, he saw that the man in the jasper mask was still staring at him, and he was shocked.

After this person left, Li Xunlian stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

I thought that the big shopkeeper seemed to have some proper arrangements, but his answer was not like this, and even made Li Xunlian chuckle in his heart-

"Hu Wan has an accident. ”

Something happened to Hu Wan. Li Xunlian had heard this sentence twice in just half a month, the first time was from the mouth of the guard, and when it came out of the guard's mouth, Li Xunlian was just worried. But now it is said in the mouth of the big shopkeeper, it is not just as simple as worry.

He ...... What's wrong?" Li Xunlian asked in a low voice, although he was asking, he was a little afraid to hear the answer of the big shopkeeper. Hu Wan had an accident under the nose of the big shopkeeper, and it is conceivable how serious the matter will be.

"He fled. The big shopkeeper's tone was very calm, but his calmness was just to appease Li Xunlian. After all, no matter how much Li Xunlian is in charge, the big shopkeeper is still the biggest and only resting place in his heart, if even the big shopkeeper is very uncalm, Li Xunlian, who has always been tenacious, may also collapse.

"Run?"

Li Xunlian looked puzzled, is the word escape good or bad, the good thing is that since he can escape, Hu Wan's life will definitely be worry-free. But why should it be described as fleeing, isn't it only for the wicked that they will flee when they are faced with punishment?

"He almost killed Gu Panxi, and then fled right under my nose. The big shopkeeper took a deep breath and explained.

almost killed Gu Panxi!

Li Xunlian only felt that his eyes were dark, this change was too dramatic, so he couldn't imagine it, let alone accept it.

Finally relieved, Li Xunlian almost roared, and asked eagerly: "What about Gu Panxi!"

"Don't worry, she's fine, it's just that Hu Wan choked her erection neck and fell into a coma.

The big shopkeeper didn't actually finish this sentence, and the second half of his sentence was that if I was a little late, Gu Panxi would be strangled to death by Hu Wansheng.

Hearing this, half of the big stone in my heart was put down, and the other half was still hanging in my heart, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to let it go until I figured out Li Huwan's affairs.

"Hu Wan, why did he attack Gu Panxi?" Li Xunlian tried his best to calm his mind, what should come will come after all, this so-called aftermath began to deteriorate before it could be resolved, but he also had to face it.

The big shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but now Hu Wan is no longer Hu Wan, he seems to be controlled by something weird, he doesn't know Gu Panxi, and he doesn't know me." ”

"En?" frowning, Li Xunlian became more and more difficult to understand what had happened recently, since it was not Gu magic and head lowering, what would Hu Wan control his mind by, and, according to what the big shopkeeper said, Hu Wan escaped under him, which shows that there was a fight between the two, and they were able to escape under the hands of the big shopkeeper, don't say Hu Wan, even if you look at Kyushu, how many people can easily do it?

All this is really beyond common sense, and it is too difficult to accept!

As if seeing Li Xunlian's doubts, the big shopkeeper continued to explain: "His strength is strange now, I haven't been able to feel the aura of Xuan Qi that surpasses the Tianhe Realm, but he can use Xuan Qi to urge the soul of the instrument, and I am a little careless, so I let him escape." ”

"Didn't catch up?" Li Xunlian asked again.

"Didn't chase it. The big shopkeeper shook his head and said, "After being attacked by Hu Wan, the life essence in Gu Panxi's body was rapidly lost, not only was it as simple as poor breath, but if she was not treated in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

His fists couldn't help clenching, and at this moment, Li Xunlian had an indescribable depression in his heart, which pressed him so much that he was about to explode, but there was nowhere to vent.

So many strange things happened in the next three days, and all the people involved were his closest people, Li Xunlian was already calm, not to mention someone else, even if he went back to half a year ago, he might make some cathartic actions that he didn't understand. For example, the time when he broke into the palace at night.

"What should I do?" Li Xunlian looked up at the big shopkeeper, and there was a confused look in his eyes that he had never seen since he could remember.

"Don't worry, you just have to put all your energy here. Gu Panxi is fine, I will take her back to Shenjian Peak. As for Hu Wan, with his current ability, there should be no danger, and after Gu Panxi is arranged, I will personally look for him. The big shopkeeper patted Li Xunlian's shoulder gently, although there was no expression in his tone, but looking at Li Xunlian's helpless appearance, the big shopkeeper felt extremely uncomfortable.

Silence, followed by a long silence. Although Li Xunlian was bored, his thinking was still very clear, he knew what Hu Wan's accident represented this time, he even wanted to kill Gu Panxi, would there be anyone who could let go? After he attacked Gu Panxi, Gu Panxi's body quickly lost the life essence, what does this mean......

What should be done if the shopkeeper finds him and can't control his condition......

Of course, perhaps it is not very accurate to describe Hu Wan's condition in terms of illness. However, he turned out to be a human being, and now, reminiscent of the scene where the flame demon sucked the life essence of the villagers, it is difficult to deny the possibility of Hu Wan's demonization, right?

But how did he become like this, what unknown things did he encounter!

Li Xunlian rubbed his temples vigorously, he had a headache now, and the pain seemed to be about to explode.

To a certain extent, Li Xunlian was raised by the big shopkeeper, so the big shopkeeper has a subtle sense of what he thinks, and the big shopkeeper also has the same analysis and the same entanglement as Li Xunlian.

Yes, if Hu Wan is really demonized, how should he, as the chief shopkeeper of the inn, deal with this matter......

When I was sad and worried, I could hear the sound of horses' hooves stomping, and I didn't ask if it was the bandits who were rushing here.

However, to the great treasurer's surprise, the sound of the horses' hooves began to slow down about ten miles from here, and then disappeared, replaced by a softer and swift rushing sound, speeding towards the place.

The person who came had the same aura as himself, although it was far less powerful than the coercion of the big shopkeeper, but it was of the same nature. Obviously, this is the leader of the bandits who came alone......
