Chapter 3: The New Hatter

Hearing the sound of breaking down the door, the thief did not continue to move, but went to help. Shi Jingchen quietly went out and hid in the dark, only to see a man dressed in groom clothes fighting with a man in black, and someone on the side lit a lamp to illuminate it. The long sword and the short knife clashed several times, the man in black did not fall behind at all, and the groom made the authentic point cang sword technique, stepping on the five elements, the sword went in all directions, recruiting attackers, and causing death. The black-clothed man's knife was like a swift wind, and the short knife also played the momentum of a long knife, and a few times the shadow of the knife actually cut a deep knife mark on the pillar, which would be missing arms and legs if it was cut.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the disciples of Diancang did not care about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and set out collectively. The man in black climbed downstairs with a somersault, and all the disciples followed, but there was another man in black, brushing two handfuls of drugs and scattering them all over the world, and a few disciples who were accidentally hit by it had fallen to the ground. Before the black-clothed man who sprinkled the drug had time to be complacent, he felt the wind behind him, and hurriedly dodged to see that the person who attacked was Liu Tianen, the eldest disciple of the Diancang Sect, who was not fascinated by the drug. Liu Tianen didn't succeed in one palm, one palm in a row, the man in black had no way to retreat, it was too late, it was fast, the three small flying knives were fired in the dark, Rao was Liu Tianen withdrew his palm in time or was cut by the flying knife.

The two men in black jumped downstairs to meet the first man in black. The black-clothed man who used the drug said angrily: "Look down on you, you didn't faint in the room by the incense?" Liu Tianen flew downstairs and sneered: "Being a thief also has a bit of gold, and this kind of incense is enough to deal with the ordinary knights who are sleeping heavily, but it's a pity that you have encountered us Diancang faction." Liu Tianen's long sword was held in front of his chest, and the few thieves on the opposite side were obviously not the new hat officials, and the plans of the good ones were all messed up, if the ordinary thieves heard the Diancang faction, they should also be interested and leave.

Hearing this, the man in black who used drugs rewarded the other two black-clothed people next to him with a "fighting neck fist", and angrily reprimanded: "You two waste, tell you not to be afraid of expensive, get some good goods, and find me some goods back!" Say, did you take my money to gamble? The two black-clothed men begged for mercy one after another: "Boss, wronged!" This is already superior, and there are many people who are not fascinated, after all, it is a little Cang faction...... "The more the two thieves talked, the more weak their hearts became, and finally they were completely silent.

The man in black who took the lead threw another heavy punch and shouted, "What is the Diancang faction? Grow others to destroy their own prestige! Even if the second elder is here today, Lao Tzu is not mistaken! I heard that the person who took the lead was the voice of his daughter, but the masculine and rude tone of "Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu" was full of masculinity and vulgarity, and I don't know whether it was done by habit or on purpose.

"Don't be ashamed!" The groom was already furious, the Diancang faction was a famous and decent family, how could a few hairy thieves be able to put their beaks, and asked loudly, "Where are you hairy thieves, who dare to openly call out our Diancang faction?" ”

"Hahaha......" led the man in black with a series of long laughs, and then said to the people beside him, "Since they sincerely ask for advice, then you have great compassion and tell them, who are we?" It's also good for them to know whose hands the Diancang faction has lost! ”

The black-clothed man holding a short knife said horizontally: "I don't know how high the vertical is?" Listen, we are the famous flying thieves in the rivers and lakes! I don't have any eyesight, so let's go home and herd the cattle! ”

The Three Flying Thieves have some fame in the thief path, but they are far from the top ten thieves. Liu Tianen snorted coldly: "Below the top ten thieves, they are all small thieves, and Hugh has to speak wildly!" Let's take it! Liu Tianen's long sword flew and was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard the sound of the tea cup upstairs overturning, and exclaimed: "It's not good, it's the new hat officer!" Turning around at the moment, a few volleys stepped over the columns, but unfortunately it was still too late. The disciple of Diancang, who pretended to be a bride, died unexpectedly, and the new hat Lang official was also missing.

When he came back to his senses, the three thieves also disappeared without a trace, Shi Jingchen watched the three thieves leave, and wanted to catch up and reveal their true faces, but with a "bang", there was also a fighting sound in another room. I clearly heard the sound of light footsteps on the roof, could there be other thieves? Dao Dao sword light glimpsed, only to see a big man with a cloak waving his strong arms, with the iron claws in his hands to meet each other, the claws struck each other and sparked countless sparks, lighting up the battle again and again. The one who made the sword was none other than Zhong Moling, the eldest disciple of the Qingcheng faction, and the other person was the new hat official.

The Qingcheng disciples who did not participate lit candles one after another, so that the thieves had nowhere to hide. The two jumped up and down several times, and the new hat officer was forced back into the lobby. As the battle continued, the sword qi flew wildly, and the tables and chairs twisted together to make a "crackling" dismemberment sound. The other light melted into the candles of the crowd, and only a woman could be heard shouting: "Stop, my queen pear blossom old wooden table!" It was the proprietress who was shouting, but unfortunately the people in the fight couldn't hear any other sounds, and Zhong Moling destroyed several more with a few swords. The new hat returned with a few wooden stools, and the proprietress shouted again: "That's my elm carved stool!" ”

Shi Jingchen looked suspiciously at the proprietress who was rushing towards the battlefield, in the previous moment, he had guessed the identity of the strange flying three thieves, like the proprietress and the two shopkeepers. But she suddenly appeared at this moment, even if she was disguised, she didn't have such a speed.

The proprietress approached and asked loudly, "You still don't stop?" How many tables and stools are you going to destroy me? The proprietress was very loud, but she was ignored by the sound of the fight, and no one had time to pay attention to her between the life and death struggle. The new hat Lang official is known as the top ten thieves, and his strength is by no means limited to this, sure enough, when Zhong Moling's tricks were exhausted, the other party suddenly released a special move, which was the new hat Lang official's deadly killing move "Iron Claw Whirlwind", as soon as this move came out, everyone and everything within the attack range was pulled by his internal force. Zhong Moling clenched the long sword, but he couldn't exert any strength, seeing that the iron claw was about to seal his throat, all the disciples no longer watched, and stepped forward to besiege one after another. Zhong Moling couldn't react, he only felt a palm hit on his chest and fell to the side, obviously the injury was not light, none of the other disciples were his opponents, the injured were injured, and the uninjured also pretended to be injured.

The new hat Lang official was full of murderous intentions, and he did not let go of the disciples of the Qingcheng faction, and the murder in front of him naturally frightened everyone, and the proprietress unconsciously took half a step back. Shi Jingchen was already preparing to make a move in the dark, no matter how the Qingcheng faction said it, he was also a martial arts decent, and he couldn't stand by as the young owner of Fulong Villa. Just as the new hat officer raised his claws to commit murder, there was a "dang long" sound, the iron claws were struck away, the arm shook a few times unconsciously, and a stone was embedded in the wooden stake on the side. "Who did the sneak attack?" With this moment, people dare not take it lightly, and the kung fu of the people who come is not weak.

The slight sound of "jingle bells" pierced my ears, and a young girl dressed plainly sat on one of the few remaining pear blossom wooden tables with her legs crossed, the bell on her wrist swaying deliberately as if to show off. Indeed, if it weren't for this bell, I wouldn't have known that there was such a master hidden in the inn. Shi Jingchen recognized her, this woman was the one he met in the woods, and she also appeared here, presumably with the same purpose as everyone present.

"Who are you? Which sect and which school? "Even if Zhong Moling and Liu Tianen are well-known in the rivers and lakes, the new hat Lang Guan can't see the origin of the woman opposite, she is young and has good strength, which is a trouble.

The woman dusted her hand, and an arrow step man had already walked in front of the new hat officer, and said with a smile: "You don't have to know who I am, and I don't belong to any sect. It's just that someone pays a high price for me to take something from you, and as long as you give it to me, I won't be embarrassed by you. Hearing the word "thing", everyone's hearts tightened, did that mysterious thing really fall into the hands of this mysterious woman?

"What a big breath!" After all, the new hat Lang official is also one of the top ten thieves, how can he succumb to a little girl, doesn't it make the people in the rivers and lakes laugh shamefully, "Take it by your ability." ”

As soon as the words fell, the woman shook her hand and made a move, and she didn't know what weapon she was using, and she also knocked out sparks under the impact of the iron claw. A few stones were wrapped around the weapon and ejected, accompanied by the sound of "Xiu Xiu", and hit the new hat Lang official hard, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't dodge even if he saw it. It wasn't a great weapon, just a special iron slingshot, but it wasn't a light hit, especially in the dim conditions.

The woman specially retreated, obviously hand-to-hand combat is not good, the new hat Lang official is full of skill, the iron claw tears the air seems to be able to tear the night apart, the woman has not had time to fill the stone, in the face of the oppressive Gangqi, tend to avoid the evil, dodge left and right, a move "Holy Dragon in the sky" rotates out of thin air, at the same time, accompanied by the mechanical sound of "quack", a small crossbow is automatically assembled, and the sharp arrow is sent to the back, and the new hat Lang official changes his trick in time to let the arrow scratch the shoulder.

The new hat Lang official suffered repeated losses, and finally stopped resisting, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a disciple of the Divine Slingling Bow, and this time I was defeated by the Thousand Machines Old Man's Divine Slingling Bow, I have nothing to say." "The old man of Qianji is a master of the organs on the rivers and lakes, and he dominated the list of hidden weapons in the rivers and lakes with his magic flying bow, and the status of the Tang Sect in Sichuan is almost unsafe. Indeed, if it were in the daytime, this girl would not have the upper hand, but unfortunately the night gave her the best cover. Even the old man of Qianji, who had retired from the rivers and lakes, was interested in the new hat Langguan, and Shi Jingchen became more and more curious about what kind of treasure made so many masters of the rivers and lakes compete for it.

Seeing that the situation had finally stopped, the proprietress stood between the two with the abacus on her shoulder, shook it, and said while settling the accounts: "Ten old wooden tables of the queen's pear blossoms, twenty-eight elm carved benches, three taels plus fifteen taels plus ......" The abacus clicked, and the boss calculated the result, "A total of three hundred and fifty-two taels, which of you will pay for it?" I heard that you have a better relationship with the most profitable prostitute among the top ten thieves, are you rich? Are you going to pay for it? ”

This nonsense troublemaking made everyone scratch their heads, and the proprietress was not afraid of a long life, and she was caught in the middle. The new hat officer smiled: "I do have something on me to make up for the loss of the boss lady, everyone wants it, do you dare to ask for it?" Hearing that it seemed to be a very valuable thing, the proprietress was naturally polite: "Take it out and give it to me!" ”

I saw the new hat Lang Guan put one hand into the placket, as if he was going to take out something. Everyone waited with bated breath, this mysterious treasure was finally about to appear, participating in everyone's curiosity, but unfortunately it was just a handful of white powder flying, everyone's vision was blocked, the woman's bow was about to be launched, how did the boss lady say "ouch" seemed to be pushed by a palm, straight into the girl's arms, the arrow shot crookedly, the new hat Lang official was nowhere to be seen, the woman pushed away the boss lady and chased away.

Shi Jingchen didn't see what was happening in the smoke and dust, but Liu Tianen had been hidden for a long time and chased after him first. The new hat officer ran all the way to the woods several miles away, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by the disciples of Diancang. Liu Tianen said proudly: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, I thought I was a praying mantis, but I didn't expect it to be the yellow finch." The new hat officer is still not tied up? "Liu Tianen's martial arts and Zhong Moling are between the two of them, and there is no chance of winning against the top ten thieves, but at this moment, the new hat Lang official has been injured.

When he was about to do the final fight to the death, who would have thought that a sentence came from the depths of the woods, "Who dares to be presumptuous", saying that it was too late, it was fast, a white shadow skimmed, green light flashed, Liu Tianen and several disciples were hit by something, and they hit the tree hard, spitting blood. When you look closely, you don't know if the person who comes is a human or a ghost? A woman, dressed in a longevity robe, dressed in linen and filial piety, holds a long impermanent duster, like a soul-snatcher from hell.

"The demon woman is leaving, dare to hurt my Qingcheng sect disciple!" It was Zhu Laosan who led the team to kill, but the Qingcheng disciples were already scarred. The woman laughed and said, "I don't know whether I live or die, I wanted to spare your life, and I went to tell Ji Kangzi, the dog thief, that he would suffer death." Okay, then I'll send you to hell first. With that, the woman waved her sleeves and palms, and a gust of yin wind rose, and all the Qingcheng disciples foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground convulsively.

"Hahaha......" The new hat official laughed loudly, this woman must be his helper, and her martial arts are above it. The ghost mother really came as promised, and thanked the ghost mother for her rescue. ”

Hearing the word "ghost mother", all the living people present were shocked in their hearts. Yes, yes, he is a mortal enemy with Ji Kangzi of the Qingcheng faction, dressed in a year-round longevity dress, and a set of Yin Wind palms dominate the rivers and lakes, which is the top ten thieves known as the "Yin Wind Ghost Mother", ranking sixth. The ghost mother duster waved and said: "I have no grudges with the Diancang faction, and a few people don't want to give their lives and leave quickly." "Hearing that the ghost mother intends to release people, it is really not good for the people of Diancang to stay longer, there are too many variables in the failure of this operation, and only two masters of the Diancang faction can save the face of the Diancang faction.

"Thank you, Ghost Mother!" Liu Tianen, holding his chest, thanked him aggrievedly, and then quickened his pace, not wanting to stay longer for a moment.

"Friends in the tree, if you don't leave, what do you want?" If it weren't for the faint sound of a bell, the Ghost Mother wouldn't have noticed that there were other people nearby.

Still a woman wearing a bell, the appearance of the ghost mother of the wind also changed her plans, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she hid in the tree and was still discovered. The new hat officer kindly reminded: "Ghost mother, be careful, this woman is the descendant of the old man of Qianji, and her magic flying bow is unguardable." ”

"Oh?" The Yin Wind Ghost Mother came here only to teach the disciples of the Qingcheng faction and oppose the Qingcheng faction, she didn't really want to help the new hat Lang Guan, but so many masters surrounded her, and now the old man of Qianji, who has not heard of it for a long time, also sent someone to find the bad luck of the new hat Lang Guan, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lang Guan, what kind of treasure did you get, even the old man of Qianji, who was obsessed with the study of mechanical arts, sent his disciples to chase after him?" ”

This matter is a long story, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in three or two sentences, so I have to lead the way: "The ghost mother is laughing, I have no interest in any treasures, it must be that the Qingcheng faction of these people who killed a thousand knives thought of such a trick in order to deal with me, and these famous and decent people are very stupid and dull." Hearing such an answer, the ghost mother didn't want to ask, she didn't come for the treasure, she had only one purpose - to make the Qingcheng faction uneasy.
