Chapter 2 Disguise
Xu Chen tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, so he finally got up at dawn, didn't say hello to his uncle, opened the door and went straight to the outside of the village.
Before leaving the village, Xu Chen was stunned, he saw Wang Shen leaning against the old tree on the side of the road, holding the old gourd in his hand.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Chen thought he had gotten up early enough, but he didn't expect the old snitch to get up earlier than him.
"Look at your angry appearance, are you going to go to Zhushan to settle accounts with that gang of robbers?"
Xu Chen replied angrily: "Since you know everything, then why do you ask what to do." ”
Wang Shen said with a smile: "Young people do things impulsively, and they don't think about the consequences at all. ”
"I'm not here to listen to you, now you're either going with me to fight the evil, or you're going to go home and get some sleep. ”
"Oh, my temper is not small, but it's a pity that the little old man doesn't choose either. Wang Shen's face turned from a smile to a grim one, and he said in a solemn voice: "Didn't I say that within three days, the leader of the robbers will personally come to the door with his men to apologize to your uncle." It's the first day, why can't you hold your breath?"
"What are you kidding, if the robbers had the heart of a bodhisattva, they would not occupy the mountain as kings and become robbers. Of course Xu Chen wouldn't believe it, thinking that Wang Shen was perfunctory.
"Have you thought about it, now go to Zhushan, I won't say if there are any masters among those robbers that you can't beat, even if you can beat them, can you guarantee to kill them all, not one of them will be left?"
"Kill them all, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, once the battle starts, there will always be some cowards who are smeared with oil faster than rabbits, how can I catch them all up by myself." ”
Wang Shen laughed out loud, and after laughing, he said: "That's right, if you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, when we leave here, who can guarantee that these fish that slipped through the net will not come back to take revenge on Wang Lin? Do you want to lose this only relative?"
Xu Chen was speechless for a moment, stunned for a long time and said unconvinced: "Is it just that? Seeing my uncle being bullied by thieves can't help a little, what's the use of me learning this spell?"
"Of course you can't be cheaper than this gang of robbers, so I'll make you wait three days. Believe me, there will be results in three days. ”
Xu Chen was very confident when he heard what he said, and couldn't help but move in his heart, thinking that Wang Shen wouldn't have some good way to drive away the robbers, right?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Wang Shen stepped forward with a smile, walked back with his shoulders around him, and said as he walked: "You will trust Xiao Lao'er for the time being, if there is no movement in three days, I will go with you to Zhushan to destroy that gang of robbers." Anyway, their lair is there, and they won't be able to run away for a while, so why should you be anxious about these few days. ”
"That's what you said, Uncle Wang, you can't lie to me!"
"I'm so old, how could I lie to you. Besides, I can't fool you, I'm still waiting to get my hands on the two artifacts. ”
Xu Chen reluctantly returned to his uncle's house with Wang Shen, and for the next two days, Xu Chen went to the entrance of the village to stop and watch to see if the robbers had come to the village, but in the end he was disappointed.
Xu Chen couldn't help but be suspicious, and said secretly in his heart: "Wang Shen won't be coaxing me, right?" Forget it, anyway, tomorrow is the last day, if the robbers don't come again, I will take this old snitch to Zhushan to teach them a lesson." ”
The next day, just after dawn, Wang Shen tiptoed to Xu Chen's room with a big burden in his hand to wake him up from his dream.
Xu Chen said sleepily, "Are the robbers coming?"
"Hehe, I said you are really stupid or fake stupid! You said that they didn't have the heart of the Bodhisattva, how could they change their ways and come to the village to apologize to the villagers. ”
"It's been a long time, you're lying to me!" Xu Chen suddenly fell asleep, got up from the bed with a bone, and glared at Wang Shen angrily.
Wang Shen said disapprerovingly: "So I will go to Zhushan with you now to clean them up, lest this gang of robbers continue to do evil and harm the people in the future." ”
"Okay, then what are we waiting for, let's go to Zhushan to settle accounts with them now!" Xu Chen ran towards the door, but was pulled back by Wang Shen.
"What's the hurry, you freshen up and dress up first, and then we'll set off. ”
After washing his face indiscriminately, Xu Chen actually saw Wang Shen sitting in front of the bronze mirror and dressing up, and couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart, how can this old man be the same as a little girl, he has to put on makeup before going out at this age, and he seems to be going out to seduce a half-old.
As soon as Wang Shen turned around, Xu Chen was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Ou, Ouyang Lone!" As soon as the words came out, he immediately understood, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Wang, why are you pretending to be Ouyang Lone?"
"Hehe, it's easy to pretend to be someone else. After speaking, he pulled Xu Chen to sit in front of the mirror and put on makeup for him.
Xu Chen was surprised, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he had to wait patiently for him to finish drumming, and then looked at it, and was taken aback again, and asked, "Uncle Wang, why did you make me Situ Kong?"
Wang Shen snickered and whispered his plan to Xu Chen, Xu Chen was overjoyed after hearing it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, your plan is really clever, we have the credit for doing it, if you mess up, you will also be blamed on the female devil surnamed Lin, so that she can make a few more enemies." ”
"Of course, if things don't work out, others won't know that we did it, and your uncle's village won't be implicated, this is a foolproof solution. ”
Wang Shen took out two sets of clothes from his baggage, one for each and changed them, Xu Chen recognized that these two sets of clothes were the same as the demon clothes worn by Ouyang and the brothers, he couldn't help but admire Wang Shen's scheming, it turned out that this old snitch had to wait for three days before acting, and he dared to do these preliminary preparations.
Out of the door, Xu Chen saw that the two horses that Wang Shen had stolen earlier were tied to the side, so he hurriedly flew on his horse and rushed towards the outside of the village with Wang Shen, making sure to rush to Zhushan before noon to deal with those thieves.
Now is a time of peace, at the junction of the territory of the gods and demons, wherever there are high mountains and mountains, there will be thieves entrenched, doing some things to rob homes and houses, and oppress the people.
The reason why thieves dare to be so fearless is not because they have amazing cultivation, but because they rely on their nest to be in a special two-way zone, so that they can live happily in this cracked area.
This is also a helpless thing, even if one of the gods and demons sends troops to suppress it, these thieves will immediately abandon the village and flee, and flee to the territory of the other side to hide for a few days, and then return to the village to occupy the mountain as the king after the wind calms down.
It is precisely because of this kind of small trick that you can fight if you can beat it, and if you can't beat it, you can run away, there are more and more bandits and roadlords in various states, and most of the people and businessmen who go out do not dare to go alone, they all go in groups, and some local tyrants even invite masters of gods and demons to escort them.
If Xu Chen can eliminate the gang of robbers in Zhushan like the last trip to Black Wind Mountain, it will be a great merit for the benefit of the people, he has been taught by his parents and Nangong Muyang since he was a child, and he is determined to be a hero who punishes evil and promotes good. What's more, his uncle is his only relative in this world, how can he miss this opportunity to dedicate his filial piety.
At noon they came to the foot of Zhushan, and the two abandoned their horses and walked along the winding mountain road, and soon came to the pass of the cottage.
When the minions guarding the gate saw that someone was coming, they hurriedly shouted a few words, and suddenly dozens of minions swarmed over and closed the gate tightly, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
Xu Chen stared at it, and there were many people in the village, with strong crossbows and hard bows everywhere, rolling stones and wood, so he turned back to Wang Shen and said: "Uncle Wang still has a vision, if I forcibly attack the mountain, let alone kill the king of the mountain, I am afraid that even their lair may not be able to enter it." ”
Wang Shen motioned for him not to say much, walked to the gate of the village and raised his head and said: "You listen to me, Lao Tzu is ordered by Princess Lin Yunshang to recruit you and others, why don't you go and inform your king soon." ”
A thief who looked like a small boss poked his head out, pointed at Wang Shen and scolded: "I want to attack the cottage again, do you think I'm so easy to deceive?"
"Her Royal Highness the princess remembered that you were originally good citizens, and you were forced to fall into the grass and become a coward, and she was very merciful......"
Before he finished speaking, the little leader scolded sharply: "Bah, what you say is better than what you sing! Who in the world doesn't know that Lin Yunsheng's slut has a heart like a snake and scorpion, and she will send kindness to recruit us? What kind of conspiracy is she is playing to drive us out!"
After saying that, he shook the command flag in his hand, and those minions shouted in unison, shooting arrows from the pass, and the rolling stones and trees also fell, Wang Shen suddenly panicked, and fled behind a big tree to hide.
Before he could catch his breath, he saw Xu Chen also running over to avoid the rain of arrows, Wang Shen said angrily: "What are you hiding, don't you know how to spell like me?"
Xu Chen was ashamed, but when he saw the arrows flying down like locusts on the pass, he couldn't help frowning and said: "This gang of thieves is guarding against danger, and they don't believe us, what do you say? ”
"Now I know I'm scared, if I hadn't pulled you back, you would have died here several times. ”
After Wang Shen took out the gourd and drank a few sips of wine, he saw that those minions on the pass had stopped attacking, and were probing out to check the movement, he hurriedly pushed Xu Chen out: "The opportunity is rare, now is the time for you to perform!"
As soon as he saw Xu Chen running out, this gang of thieves shot arrows again, Xu Chen saw that there was a flat ground in front of the pass, and there was almost nowhere to hide except for the big tree where Wang Shen was hiding, he said in a lost voice: "You want to kill me!"
Wang Shen replied: "Don't be afraid, be lucky and become a soldier, and find another opportunity to blast open the walled gate!"
A word woke up the person in the dream, Xu Chen suddenly came to his senses, and with a violent wave of his arms, the water aura of the second layer of the refining void realm surged, and then brought a cold storm of true qi, and all the arrows that were shot were swept into the eye of the wind, successfully resolving the danger in front of him.
Xu Chen was overjoyed, and suddenly knew that these minions guarding the pass didn't know how to spell, otherwise he wouldn't have broken the enemy's group attack so easily. If these people were all cultivators, the arrows they shot down would definitely contain their own true qi, and Xu Chen would probably be hit by a few arrows when he cast a water spell, which would be a headache.
Seeing that Xu Chen's spells were amazing, how could they dare to shoot arrows again, they all shrank in the pass and did not come out, trying to prevent Xu Chen and Wang Shen from coming in with the pass.
