Chapter 147: On the Road
At night, on an abandoned official road in the suburbs, more than a dozen people (shēn) dressed in white, wearing long tongue masks, pretending to be ghosts hanging from tree branches, sprinting down again and again, dancing swords and returning to the tree, apparently practicing the art of combined strikes.
One of them suddenly stopped, pulled the other aside and said:
"Sister, can we really bluff Zuo Qianhu by pretending to be a ghost like this? I heard that he is not afraid of any demons and monsters, and the martial arts of one (body shēn) are even more unfathomable, and I am afraid of ......"
"Yuechi, don't worry too much, how can people be not afraid of ghosts? Besides, there is also the combination technique that we have worked hard to practice, and it will be foolproof! ”
These two people are the two daughters of Fu Tianqiu, a loyal minister of the imperial court, Fu Qingfeng and her sister Fu Yuechi.
Nowadays, the court (traitor jiān) ministers are in charge, countless loyal ministers and righteous people have been wrongfully killed, and their father Fu Tianqiu has also been framed by (traitor jiān) thieves, and is being escorted to the capital by Zuo Qianhu, ready to be handed over to the holy for trial.
After the two learned the news, they immediately gathered their retainers and some loyal people to prepare to rob people halfway, but they didn't know the exact location, so they could only wait for the rabbit and wait on the official road.
"It's coming! Someone's coming! Suddenly, a spy came back and said to everyone.
"Ready!"
Fu Qingfeng shouted loudly, and everyone immediately became vigilant, jumped on the branch, and prepared to meet the attack.
…………
Ye Tian and his entourage, riding six horses, were rushing in the direction of the capital, a distance of more than 1,000 miles, even if they were riding horses, they had to count more than ten (day).
With enough time, Ye Tian began to introduce the members of the Easy Sect, and Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen knew that the people present were not ordinary people, so Ye Tian naturally didn't need to say it.
Yan Chixia, the most famous catcher in the 26 provinces of Guangxi in the eastern part of the country.
Xiahou swordsman, famous all over the world, known as the world's first swordsman.
As for Nie Xiaoqian, Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen were also taken aback, it turned out that this woman with a soft temperament was not a person at all, but a female ghost, but the two of them were not people who ate the ancients, and quickly accepted her and Xiaoqing, another female ghost who was still in the urn.
However, since seeing Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen felt as if there was a strange feeling (情qíng) derived from him (身shēn), and he looked at her from time to time, as if he was fascinated by a ghost.
After the introduction, everyone became familiar with it, the small book basket that Ning Caichen would carry no matter where he went, naturally became a place for everyone to store things, the usual water and food, Zhuge Wolong's book, and Xiaoqing's ash altar were all put into it, and Ning Caichen could only accept it with a wry smile.
During the break, Ye Tian told Zhuge Wolong about his plan.
First go to Beijing to face the saint, kill the centipede spirit above the court, and then re-appoint the capable ministers, and finally announce that the demons and monsters in the world must obey the control, and those who are not satisfied will be exterminated by him!
The plan was concise and clear, Zhuge Wolong also agreed, and discussed some details with everyone, and finally finalized a plan that everyone was satisfied with.
After running around for a few days, they finally came to an official road leading directly to the capital, but it was late, and there were no inns everywhere, Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen were just ordinary people, Ye Tian and the others didn't sleep for a few days, but the two of them (body shēn) couldn't bear it, and everyone could only run overnight, looking for a place to stay.
When passing through a corner of the official road, Nie Xiaoqian keenly felt the breath of a lot of living people, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Be careful, there may be bandits in ambush!" ”
The ghost is extremely sensitive to the breath of people, Xiaoqing also noticed the abnormality, and suddenly floated out of the golden altar of Ning Caichen's small book basket, observing the surroundings vigilantly, facing danger for the first time, she also wanted to behave well in front of Ye Tian.
Nie Xiaoqian was responsible for the safety of Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen, protecting them (body shēn).
"Whoa!"
More than a dozen people dressed in white and wearing masks with long tongues hanging from the treetops with white silk around their necks, like hanged ghosts.
Whether this is a ghost or not, Ye Tian knew at a glance, but he was a little puzzled, although their faces were covered by masks, they were obviously not bandits, and in his perception, they did not feel the killing intent, I don't know why they would pretend to be ghosts and block their way.
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
A few more white silks hung down from the tree, pointing directly at Ye Tian and the others.
"Tear up!"
Yan Chixia and Xiahou swordsman dismounted with swords, waved the long sword in their hands, and instantly smashed all the white silk hanging around.
With Yan Chixia and Xiahou swordsman guarded, Ye Tian stood firmly in place, not worried, he (身shēn) is a general, not everything (情qíng) has to be solved in person, if it really doesn't work, he will have time to make another move.
"What the hell are you pretending to be? No ghost at all! A living person is not right, a dead person? Okay, I'm going to overdo you! ”
Yan Chixia is also a person, whether it is a person or a ghost, she can tell it at a glance, she took the lead, carrying the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, and rushed towards more than ten fake hanged ghosts under the treetops.
Xiahou swordsman stood next to Ye Tian (身shēn), and a special situation of policing appeared.
Seeing this, more than a dozen people pretending to be hanged ghosts immediately withdrew from the tree and sprinkled white canvas, trying to trap Yan Chixia in it.
"Edgeworthiness! The sword is endless! ”
Suddenly, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in Yan Chixia's hand turned into dozens of handles, forming a sword circle, crushing all the canvases that came to her face, and after the Divine Sword struck, it became a handle, Yan Chixia held it in her right hand, and a Fei (body shēn) also rushed to the treetops, entangled with these people.
Not to mention, although these people who pretend to be hanged ghosts don't understand the Tao, they do have a set of tào techniques, and the complementarity between the two is insufficient.
Fu Qingfeng was standing on a branch not far away at the moment, looking at everyone anxiously, ready to look for an opportunity to turn the situation around in one fell swoop, but suddenly, there was a sniffing sound from the side.
"Suction ......"
"Well, it's so fragrant, you're a woman?"
I don't know when, Xiaoqing actually came to Fu Qingfeng's (body shēn) side, and it was really floating in mid-air.
"There are ghosts!"
Fu Qingfeng shouted, instantly pulled out the long sword, and showed the sword in one hand to dance vigorously and powerfully, the sword (body shēn) rose and turned, and the combination of rigidity and softness was actually to anticipate the enemy's opportunity in the move, and Xiaoqing was caught off guard.
Although Xiaoqing is a ghost (身shēn), she will also be injured and bleed, and the opposite side of the close (body shēn) battle is advantageous to the sword defense (body shēn), which is not good for her, Xiaoqing has no choice but to use the magic power of 'cuff Qiankun' to stretch the cuff infinitely and attack Fu Qingfeng.
'Cuff Qiankun' is a standard skill for female ghosts, and it can be used skillfully by a female ghost.
"Sister! I'm here to help you! ”
Fu Yuechi, who was on another branch, saw that his sister was in danger, so he hurriedly made a tiger jump, leaped to Fu Qingfeng (身shēn), danced the sword in his hand, and fought with her against the attacking long sleeves.
The swordsmanship of the two of them slashed all the armcloths that attacked, but they also fell into a stalemate, the armcloths seemed to be endless, and they slashed as many as they wanted, swinging their swords continuously, struggling to maintain.
"Miss Protection!"
The more than ten people who fought with Yan Chixia saw that Fu Qingfeng's two sisters were attacked, and immediately wanted to withdraw to help.
But as soon as these people were distracted, Yan Chixia seized the opportunity, and the back of the knife instantly slashed at several people.
"When! While! While! ”
Several people were hit in the head and fainted.
"Damn!"
The remaining few people had no choice but to fight with Yan Chixia again, but the number of people was small, and the combined attack technique was weaker than a notch, and in less than ten breaths, Yan Chixia was stunned and fell to the ground.
"Uncle Hong!"
On the other side, Fu Qingfeng looked at the downed cronies and shouted anxiously.
But this roar was also distracting, allowing Xiaoqing to seize the gap between the two of them, and the cuffs drilled out, knocking the masks of the two people away, and entangled the two of them, making them unable to move.
"Xiao, Xiaoqian?"
This was really a sight, which made Xiaoqing cry out incredibly, one of the two looked exactly like Nie Xiaoqian, she thought that Nie Xiaoqian was teasing her, and looked back into the distance, but Nie Xiaoqian was standing next to Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen.
So, who is this person in front of you? Nie Xiaoqian's sisters? Anyway, it must have a relationship with Nie Xiaoqian.
Xiao Qing's killing intent decreased sharply, rolled up the sleeves of his hand, dragged the two of them down, and came to the side of Ye Tian and the others.
"This ......"
Nie Xiaoqian looked at Fu Qingfeng in front of her in disbelief, it was carved out of the same mold as her, even if they were sisters, some people believed it, Fu Qingfeng was confused and couldn't tell the situation.
"Two sisters?"
Not to mention Nie Xiaoqian and Fu Qingfeng, even Fu Yuechi, a bystander, couldn't understand it.
At this moment, everyone also gathered, looking at the two people who looked exactly the same with novelty.
"Xiaoqian, is this your sister before you died?" Xiaoqing asked.
"No, my dad only has me as a daughter, I'm sure." Nie Xiaoqian replied.
"Then this man ......," Xiaoqing said.
"The world is so big that there are no wonders, although two people with the same appearance are rare to see for thousands of years, but it is not nothing, but we just happened to meet them." The well-informed Zhuge Wolong stroked his beard and said.
Being watched by everyone, Fu Qingfeng also came back to his senses, and immediately said to Ye Tian and the others: "Hmph! (traitor jiān) official! You will not die well if you have killed the faithful! ”
"If you want to kill or scrape, listen to it!" Fu Yuechi echoed that although the person looked like her sister, he was not her real sister.
Yan Chixia was very puzzled when she heard this, he was the only one among them who had been an official, but he had already resigned, and he had not harmed Zhongliang, which made him a little confused and didn't know how to talk.
Ye Tian was thinking about what would happen after entering the capital all these days, and when he saw the woman who looked like Nie Xiaoqian, and the hanged ghost just now, he remembered that it was Fu Qingfeng who robbed his father.
It seems that Fu Tianqiu has been arrested and is on his way to Beijing, and they are a step too late to rush so much.
He smiled at Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi and said, "We are not (traitors) officials and corrupt officials, nor are we the people who escorted your father, you have found the wrong person." ”
"No, this ......" Fu Qingfeng panicked suddenly, sneaked up on others, and fought viciously, but he was caught by mistake, how embarrassing it must be.
"Ye Gongzi, what the hell is going on?" Listening to Ye Tian's tone, he seemed to know something about them, and Nie Xiaoqian also stepped forward and asked.
Nie Xiaoqian's question made Fu Qingfeng also realize that something was wrong, how did this person in front of him know that they were waiting for the person who escorted their father?
Ye Tian looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and also explained: "The two of them are the daughters of Fu Tianqiu, the military capital Shangshu, because Fu Tianqiu was framed by the (traitor) ministers and escorted to Beijing by Zuo Qianhu to wait for trial, so they are here to rob people." ”
"Why do you know so well? Who are you! Fu Qingfeng asked, they were well planned, and it was impossible for anyone else to know about it except for the people involved!
Who knew that Ning Caichen suddenly came out and said: "Brother Ye is an immortal in the sky, come down to earth."
To save the common people, of course your affairs (情qíng) cannot be hidden from him. ”
"Immortals? How can it be! If there are immortals, how can the world become such a purgatory, and demons are rampant everywhere. Fu Qingfeng vetoed it, she believed in immortals at all.
"That is, if we pretend to be ghosts, you pretend to be immortals, so we won't believe it." Fu Yuechi also nodded and said.
Ye Tian shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it or not, but I advise you not to do these things anymore, it will only backfire if you insist on doing it." ”
It was because of their intervention that Fu Tianqiu, who was originally escorted to Shangjing and dealt with by the saints, went through several twists and turns, encountered the centipede essence, and was almost taken by the life-seeking Fanyin.
"How can it backfire! Is it still wrong for us to save our own father? Fu Yuechi hurriedly said.
"Of course it's true, but if you rob people like this, you are openly disobeying the current saint, even if Fu Tianqiu wants to explain, there will be no chance, with a paper order, you will become a real rebel thief, you are simply doing bad things with good intentions!" Ye Tian said.
"But when I go to the capital, my father is not ......," Fu Qingfeng said worriedly.
"Don't worry, you can go on the road with us, go to the capital, we will meet the saint and persuade him to ask for help, and Fu Tianqiu is escorted by Zuo Qianhu, you don't have to worry about his safety, Zuo Qianhu will definitely send him to the emperor safely." Ye Tiannian gave an idea for the sake of their desire to save their father.
Fu Qingfeng is not an unreasonable person, and after a little thought, he also found that what Ye Tian said was not unreasonable, even if her father was rescued, I am afraid that as Ye Tian said, he would not flee with them, and they would become wanted criminals, and said: "I was rude just now, I was offended, and I hope Mr. Haihan." ”
"Nothing, how? Would you like to join us? Ye Tian asked.
"Qingfeng has thanked Mr. here, but in the future, if you have orders, you must sacrifice your life to complete it!" Fu Qingfeng said.
"Okay, Xiaoqing, untie them up." Ye Tian said to Xiaoqing on the side.
Xiaoqing immediately withdrew her long sleeves, and the two Fu Qingfeng sisters were loosely tied.
Ye Tian waved his hand at the more than ten people who had fainted on the ground, and a soft green light covered them, and they quickly disappeared.
These more than ten people also woke up, of course, the first thing they did when they woke up must be to find Ye Tian and them desperately.
Fu Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and told them all about the development of the matter, which calmed them down.
And after the spy learned about the incident (情qíng), of course he was scolded by everyone, telling him to see the person clearly next time before telling him, but it seems that there is no next time.
Ye Tian's team of five people and one ghost has now expanded to nearly twenty people, fortunately, each of them has horses, otherwise it would be really troublesome to travel in this wilderness.
Before it was late overnight, Fu Qingfeng led Ye Tian and them to their temporary residence, Zhengqi Villa, to prepare for a night's rest.
The villa is dilapidated, the door plaque is full of dust falling in front of the door, there are broken trees everywhere, cobwebs and dust, which is worse than Lanruo Temple, and in the center of the living room, there are eight coffins, which makes people shudder.
"There's a lot of corpse gas in here! It seems that there are demons. Yan Chixia said to everyone with a solemn face.
"How so? We've all lived here for a few days and nothing happened. Fu Yuechi said puzzledly, if there were demons, they would have appeared a long time ago.
"Yes, there is indeed a corpse."
Ye Tian looked at the one in the middle of the eight coffins, raised his left hand, and directly lifted the lid.
"Roar!"
A huge, disgusting and rotting corpse suddenly came out of it, and someone dared to provoke it, and immediately became furious, and his fingers turned into sharp claws, and he opened his teeth and claws at everyone.
"Yikes! There really are youkai! Fu Yuechi exclaimed, and hurriedly hid behind Fu Qingfeng's (body shēn), extremely frightened.
"Be careful! It pounced! ”
This monster pounced directly on Ye Tian, Fu Qingfeng also hurriedly reminded, and had already pulled out his long sword and moved (body shēn) to prepare to defend against the enemy.
More than a dozen subordinates even pulled out their swords in unison to defend themselves.
"Waste Flame!"
A disc-shaped flame suddenly emitted from Ye Tian's hand pointed directly at the corpse demon.
Rumble!
The flames completely enveloped the corpse demon and burst into flames, but it only took three breaths to burn it to the ground.
Sure enough, to deal with this kind of monster who has almost no spiritual intelligence and only knows how to eat people, the waste flame is the most effective means.
However, what Ye Tian thought of in his heart was another means, Zhiqiu Yiye's fixed (body shēn) technique, this method, different from the point (acupoint xué) technique, chanting the mantra out of thin air, ignoring the number of people, can directly completely freeze the opponent's action, and only after the spell can the ability to move be restored, although the cultivation will be invalid in the case of a huge difference (情qíng), but this trick is really convenient, if you meet Zhiqiu Yiye, Ye Tian will definitely find a way to learn the hand.
"That's amazing! I didn't expect you to be so proficient in Taoism! ”
In the dungeon, Ye Tianlu's hand, although Zhuge Wolong couldn't see the fame, but the huge monster in front of him was burned to death by Ye Tian in an instant, and he was full of confidence in the future at the moment.
Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing were not surprised because they had seen Ye Tian's Thunder Dao Technique with their own eyes, which was ten thousand times more powerful than this.
Xiahou Swordsman is now convinced of Ye Tian, this giant corpse, if he moves, I am afraid that he will only be crushed.
"There's hope!"
Fu Qingfeng is also very happy at the moment, Ye Tian actually has such magical powers, presumably when he meets the saint, he will definitely be able to speak, his father is saved now.
