Chapter 199 The Battle of Lanruo (1)

Outside the gate of Lanruo Temple, Pu Weihai led two hundred dead soldiers and had been waiting for a long time.

Pu Weihai kept playing with his deep mustache with his hand, as if nervous, sad, and excited......

For this day, this man has waited for ten carefree young men to become a widowed uncle who has gone through vicissitudes, and even his impression of his son is only to stay on the short boy at the age of twelve, if possible, he can't wait for this day to be fought, so he immediately runs to his son's side, looks at the young man who is as tall as his body, sits cross-legged with him, and drinks and talks about the sweets and hardships of the past eighteen years.

Now, the banshee who must be faced in fate is in the temple in front of him, in order to lead two hundred dead soldiers to fight legally, Pu Weihai has greeted the government by catching the fast yesterday, so he can rest assured that he will openly surround the Lanruo Temple with such a formation.

It is also interesting to say that although the government has always regarded the people as fish and meat, when they heard that Pu Weihai had returned from the British Empire, everyone immediately showed a flattering attitude, and called "Mr. Pu" pleasantly, and learned that he had come to eliminate demons, so they immediately facilitated all his actions. This morning, he learned that the two foreigners in the team had mysteriously disappeared, and he was even more nervous than the disappearance of his parents, so he hurriedly personally welcomed Pu Weihai and his party to this Lanruo Temple.

A thin man jumped from a tree next to the fence and came to Pu Weihai's side.

The person who came was Pu Weihai's bodyguard Zhang Dahui, and reported: "Hehe, the situation in the temple has been investigated, this Lanruo Temple is not too big, but not too much in the front hall and back hall, each with a large courtyard, separated by the front hall, at present, all the monsters are gathered in the backyard, occasionally a few monsters come to the front yard to breathe and go back." There was a pagoda in the innermost part of the backyard, and there were two banshees on the high platform under the tower, one old and one young, who looked like they had some status. That young man, as beautiful as a fairy, must be Nie Xiaoqian. The other yokai, indeed about two hundred, gathered under the high platform, drinking and merry, as if they were celebrating something. ”

"In addition to Nie Xiaoqian, there is also an old banshee on the stage?" Pu Weihai was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "In this way, their leader is not Nie Xiaoqian alone, and the old demon must have some strength...... So, have you found Jerome and Jenny? ”

Zhang Dahui shook his head and said, "Oh, I sharpened my eyes and looked carefully, but I didn't find them." ”

"Understood, in this case, we have to find a way to lure away those two hundred monsters and the old demon, it's best to attract them to the front yard, and then, while they are not paying attention, you can directly attack Nie Xiaoqian...... Alas, however, this is easier said than done...... Do you have any ideas? ”

Zhang Dahui thought for a while and said: "Although the two courtyards are separated by the front hall, there is a door in the middle of the front hall, we can shoot at the backyard from that door, it will definitely cause a riot...... But, hehe, Boss Pu has to cooperate with Ning Wanqiu to protect me, otherwise the monster escaped from the north and jumped over the wall and found me, and I would be dead. ”

Ning Wanqiu said: "But in this way, there will be no more capable people on the side of the main gate!" Look, can you send a team of dead men to protect you? ”

Zhang Dahui shrugged and said, "However, ordinary people can't jump over such a high wall, how can they protect me?" ”

Pu Weihai weighed it and said, "It's okay, we can handle it." Then he turned around again and looked affectionately at the dead soldiers standing in formation.

These dead soldiers, mainly men, women also have more than 50, at the beginning, most of the people because of their relatives got the plague or were cursed by Nie Xiaoqian, in order to avoid the disaster, they learned from the heroes of Liangshan to go to Jinhua City thirty miles outside a mountain called "Mountain Tiger Ridge" to occupy a secluded place, but because of the loss of financial resources, they were in a difficult situation, so they were matched by friends, more than a year ago by Pu Weihai selected the young and middle-aged people for incorporation, military training, and later some of the people at the bottom took the initiative to join, a total of two hundred and nine, He was deeply cared for by Pu Weihai and was willing to become a dead soldier. After six died yesterday, there are still two hundred and three.

Because the Qing court in the Jiangzuo region was busy fighting against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and these dead soldiers did not rebel against the imperial court, and the government did not have time to deal with them, and Pu Weihai was far away in England and could not personally lead the people, so he asked one of the extraordinary people to be the leader of the dead soldiers, this person was called Lu Jinpeng.

Yesterday, everyone saw the sacrifice of six comrades-in-arms, and today there is another bloody battle, but more than 200 people have not withdrawn, Pu Weihai saw this in his eyes, full of emotion, and said sincerely: "Brothers and sisters, I, Pu Weihai, have settled abroad for a long time, and I don't have the energy to care about everyone, and I can't even name many people, but unfortunately, it is my incompetence, I have not been able to awaken the power of purification, and I can only ask everyone for help." After such a fate, in my heart, I have regarded you as relatives and benefactors. I hope that today's battle, you can all return safely, and when the time comes, I, Pu Weihai, will definitely thank you again! ”

Lu Jinpeng stood at the front of the team and arched his hand: "Mr. Pu, we are originally outcasts from the world, if it were not for your help, I am afraid that we would no longer exist in this world, but now we are not only alive, but also live with more dignity than many people, so it is not that you owe us, but we owe you." Even in private, many brothers and sisters remember your help and say that they hope to see you and have no regrets in this life. Now you stand in front of us, not in the slightest condescension, but as a brother and sister to us, and we are very moved. From a small point of view, we eliminated the Red Yaksha for our own sake, and from a large point of view, we also wanted the people of the entire Jiangzuo region to get rid of the sea of suffering as soon as possible and return to a peaceful life. It was you, Mr. Pu, who gave us this opportunity to be heroes! Now that the tactics have been decided, let's act according to the plan, and we must swear to defend the front hall to the death! ”

"Okay, don't say much, just leave it to everyone!" After speaking, Pu Weihai put down his body and bowed deeply to everyone, and then Zhang Dahui and Ning Wanqiu went around to the north according to the plan.

……

In the backyard of Lanruo Temple, those youkai known as the "Shadow Warriors" are indeed celebrating the complete recovery of the Red Yaksha.

Since Jenny has not returned to the temple after being demonized, the Red Yaksha is not in a hurry to immediately launch an attack on the Huatao Manor, and holds a feast with his own temperament, dancing on the high platform.

Nie Xiaoqian has been in a state of anxiety since she collided with the Red Yaksha, and now she is still standing here, but she can't help herself out of fear of the Red Yaksha, so she feels that she has no intention of enjoying this banquet, and behind her reluctant smile, there is a lonely color that is difficult to hide.

Perhaps, as youkai, our lifespan is too long, and we shouldn't have emotional entanglements with humans, but we should live by instinct like those in the audience. However, now that I have human nature and know that human suffering and happiness are the right way of life, there is no possibility of going back, and this contradiction really makes me sad.

Wouldn't it be nice if there were some relatives around me, even if it was just a word of comfort......

"Ouch, my lovely Xiaoqian, why don't you come to dance with grandma?" Red Yaksha was in high spirits, holding a wine glass in one hand and pulling Nie Xiaoqian up with the other.

"Grandma, I can't dance well, I'm afraid you'll laugh......" Nie Xiaoqian was embarrassed, swinging her body along the twisting hand of the Red Yaksha, but it was difficult to devote herself to it.

"I can't dance, so I'll sing with my grandma, I was happy last night, and I thought of a new song!"

After saying that, the Red Yaksha began to sing in a weird way.

Youth, I love youth

The hair is jet black and the skin is delicate

The house is full of children, and dreams come true

When the enemy saw this, he rolled in fright

……

Before the song was finished, the audience had already begun to stir, only to see golden light shooting madly from outside the door of the front hall, just in the blink of an eye, the group of shadow warriors closest to the door had been exploded!

Frightened, the Shadow Warriors began to run wildly in all directions.

"Grandma, no, that group of people came in! Ahh

"What?" Seeing the chaos in the audience, Red Yaksha immediately stopped the carnival, let go of Nie Xiaoqian's hand, and shouted, "Don't run, don't run, kill me!" Damn Pu Weihai......"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Red Yaksha suddenly did not dare to slack off, and flew towards the front hall in person.

In the front hall, the dead soldiers hid behind the door according to the plan, and shot wildly at the backyard. The shadow warriors were not in agreement at this time, and sure enough, some people fled outside the wall, and some of them jumped over the roof of the front hall and wanted to come to the front yard to fight their opponents, but as soon as they landed, some of them were killed by more dead soldiers in the front yard.

In a short time, nearly half of the shadow warriors were dead and wounded.

After the Red Yaksha flew to the front yard, sure enough, Nie Xiaoqian didn't follow, facing everything in front of her, she had mixed feelings, and she didn't know which side she should stand on for a while, and even subconsciously, there was a thought of hoping that the Red Yaksha would also be killed.

At this moment, the spirit of a little monk had appeared beside Nie Xiaoqian, and shouted: "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, Jiang Feng is sleeping-"

Nie Xiaoqian had no one else around at this time, so she really heard this, followed the voice, and saw the little monk at a glance, and was stunned for a moment, knowing that the purification messenger had appeared, and looked around again, trying to find out the opponent's body.

At this time, Zhang Dahui and Ning Wanqiu were hiding behind the Qianyuan Pagoda, and there were two monster corpses lying on the ground, which were the shadow warriors who wanted to jump over the wall from the north side and were killed by Ning Wanqiu.

Seeing that she couldn't find her body, Nie Xiaoqian immediately panicked and shouted to the audience: "Be careful, there is a purification messenger appearing!" ”

It's a pity that in the panic, no one could hear Nie Xiaoqian's shouting, and the Red Yaksha, who had already flown to the front yard, couldn't hear it. At this moment, the little monk shouted a second time: "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, Jiang Feng is sleeping-"

Nie Xiaoqian didn't know why, so she simply ran towards the back of the tower, wanting to escape from this little monk and everything.

At this moment, a bell-shaped spirit suddenly fell from the sky, enveloping Nie Xiaoqian in it!

Nie Xiaoqian hit the bell wall to no avail, and sure enough, she instinctively struck at the little monk again.

"Cheat! The first level, failure! ”

At the same time as the little monk knocked on the wooden fish, one of Nie Xiaoqian's feet had turned into a stone.
