Chapter 314: Scheming
Sheng Yao has been chasing the two of them all the time, his speed is a little slow, but because of this, he can see the current situation more clearly. At this time, he saw the old Taoist priest's action of reaching into his arms, and his heart suddenly became alert.
"He's got a secret weapon!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the old Taoist priest take out the bow and crossbow from his arms again, and it was still the same style as just now, but this time Zhao Jingxuan was closer to him, and it was not easy to dodge.
At this time, if you are really shot by a crossbow arrow, I am afraid that your life will be lost.
Seeing this scene, Sheng Yao almost gritted his teeth, and secretly cursed in his heart for being unlucky, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurried up hoping to help Zhao Jingxuan block the deadly attack.
Zhao Jingxuan didn't even raise his eyelids, and with a wave of his long sword, it directly collided with the crossbow arrows that came from him, making a few crisp sounds of 'dangdang'.
The power of the crossbow arrow was great, but he clenched the long sword, and did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but rose to the occasion.
The old Taoist priest originally thought that he was sure of victory, but no one would have guessed that he had made such double preparations. thought that it was foolproof, where would I talk about Zhao Jingxuan being able to dodge his offensive like this.
"Damn it!"
With a low curse, the old Taoist priest reached out and grabbed it at his waist again, but this time he directly took out a few darts.
A flash of hatred flashed in the old Taoist priest's eyes.
The crossbow arrow was swung away by Zhao Jingxuan with a long sword, but the oncoming darts soon made him stunned for a moment.
Zhao Jingxuan didn't expect this old-fashioned method to be so endless, but no matter how many means the other party has, Zhao Jingxuan will also respond to all changes with the same.
He turned a blind eye to the old Taoist's methods at all, and only focused on one thing, that is, to approach the other party and subdue him.
Don't look at Zhao Jingxuan's performance at this time, it seems to be easy, in fact, his physical strength has also been consumed to a certain extent, if he can't fight quickly, I don't know who will have the last laugh in the end.
The old Taoist priest watched Zhao Jingxuan's dexterous dodge to avoid the darts and continued to chase after him, and his heart was even more surprised.
It's just that he knows very well that when it comes to fighting alone, his martial arts are not the opponents of the two strong young men in front of him, and he doesn't dare to fight them head-on.
Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest was murderous in his heart, stretched out his hand and secretly touched his waist, and the whole person ran forward for a distance, but as if he was suddenly tripped by something, he fell to the ground without warning.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he stepped forward without hesitation, and reached out to grab Lao Dao.
"Be careful!"
Sheng Yao only felt a cold light flashing in front of him, and he wanted to remind Zhao Jingxuan of something, but he saw a long sword directly against the throat of the old Taoist, and the tip of the sword could take the life of the old Taoist priest if it was a little closer.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"You're scared the hell out of me!"
Sheng Yao didn't expect Zhao Jingxuan's reaction to be so fast, and he was able to successfully capture the old Taoist priest on the spot, and he couldn't help but admire him a little.
If this matter is to be replaced by him, I am afraid that he will not be able to capture people so easily, but he will fall for the tricks of the old Taoist priest if he is not careful.
Thinking of the last time he fought with the old Taoist, he really suffered a big loss!
On the other hand, Zhao Jingxuan, after seeing the old Taoist priest's methods, not only did not show the slightest timidity, but was unexpectedly brave. However, this move is indeed a surprising victory, I am afraid that the old Taoist priest himself did not expect to be planted in Zhao Jingxuan's hands.
Looking at the dagger that was knocked to the ground, Sheng Yao couldn't help but give Zhao Jingxuan a thumbs up.
"I'm really convinced!"
Zhao Jingxuan didn't say much, in fact, he didn't expect the old Taoist priest to suddenly make a secret plan just now, and the reason why he successfully avoided the other party's secret plan was because he had a sense of danger in an instant.
This feeling was too wonderful, and it surged into his heart at once, making him subconsciously make a move, and only then did he successfully avoid the attack of the old Taoist.
Looking at Lao Dao's unwilling look, Zhao Jingxuan just sneered lightly and didn't care too much.
At this time, the people who brought it finally subdued the rest of the Taoist temple, caught up, and saw that Zhao Jingxuan and Sheng Yao had successfully subdued the culprit, and they were all relieved.
"It's great that you're okay!"
Zhao Jingxuan looked at his subordinates and nodded slightly. "Search his body, make sure there is no problem, and then take him back first. I'm going to go to the Taoist temple to investigate. Sheng Yao, you come with me. ”
Zhao Jingxuan gave an order, and the well-trained secret guards immediately stepped forward, one person controlled the old Taoist priest, and another went up to search, and soon found many hidden weapons and medicine bottles from the old Taoist priest.
Sheng Yao glanced at it, and couldn't help but be speechless, and then he understood why the old Taoist priest's footsteps were so heavy, and it turned out that he was carrying so many things.
The old Taoist priest was caught and yelled unwillingly.
"Dare to move a finger of mine, and I will let you die without a place to bury."
No matter how the old Taoist priest cursed, Zhao Jingxuan didn't look back at him from beginning to end, but just took Sheng Yao back to the Taoist temple.
There were still a few people standing at the door of the Taoist temple, who were guarding Lu Zongping's safety, and when they saw Zhao Jingxuan coming back, they hurriedly greeted him and asked about the situation.
Zhao Jingxuan glanced at Lu Zongping, and saw that his face was pale and he was in a cold sweat, obviously he had never encountered such a terrifying thing.
He paused in his steps, did not say any words of comfort, and directly passed over to him and entered the Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple doesn't look special from the outside, just like a place where ordinary Taoists cultivate, and it even looks a little simple.
However, Zhao Jingxuan knew very well that this was all a disguise, and the old Taoist priest was here to refine the elixir, so he naturally did not want to arouse the curiosity of others.
After walking for a while, they soon found the cellar mentioned by Lu Zongping before, and when they opened the door of the cellar, a foul smell came to their faces, causing everyone to almost vomit.
Although the dead had long been cleaned up by the old Taoist priest, they still left a lot of traces.
Lu Zongping also followed Zhao Jingxuan and them into the Taoist temple, and when they saw the cellar, tears fell down at once.
"They...... After all, I didn't make it through! ”
He cried bitterly, apparently painful at the thought of his previous experience.
Zhao Jingxuan couldn't empathize, but he didn't express any opinion, but silently checked the surrounding terrain.
In addition to some traps laid by the old Taoist priest using Qimen Dunjia, there are also some special mechanisms made by craftsmen. They had been unprepared, and many people were injured as a result.
Looking around, Zhao Jingxuan finally discovered the secret room of alchemy.
"Bring me everything here."
Since the old Taoist priest hid in this deep mountain and old forest, he must be doing something unseemly. Although Lu Zongping had mentioned before that the old Taoist priest was refining the elixir of immortality, Zhao Jingxuan did not believe that this was all there was to it.
The secret guards were well-trained, and with Zhao Jingxuan's order, they immediately stepped forward to act, the whole process was very quiet, but the division of labor was clear, and the matter was done in a short time.
