Chapter 44: Help to the end
Tao Wujiang smiled heartily, "Don't hide it from the big boss, the three of us are now in the Tibetan realm, and after the enlightenment of the Wangwu Horse Fang, we are only one foot away from the heavenly realm." Although it is not my duty to dart this time, but the principle of being kind to others, we still understand, besides, the thank you gift given to us by the boss is too big, if we go back like this, I am afraid that there will be uneasiness in our hearts, and if we plant demons in our hearts because of this, it will be even more worth the loss. So this time, let's escort you to Shuixiang County, and when you are really safe, it's not too late to leave. ”
Zhang Fu and Liu Wei both mean this.
Li Ming was deeply moved, and once again bowed his hand, "I am for the dart game, thank you for your kindness." ”
When the four of them spoke, the man with the double axe had already placed everyone in the convoy in the inn.
The cross-river horse square is a time-honored horse square in Shuixiang County, which is as famous as the walking dragon horse square in Taihang Mountain, and is called walking the dragon and crossing the river.
There are many rooms in the inn, all of which were personally prepared by the double-axe man after receiving the secret letter from Shuixiang County.
The man with the double axe is named Jiang Fu, and he is the chief steward of the Jiangma Fang, and he has been staying in the Jiangma Fang for nearly 20 years.
The secret letter mentioned the importance of this escort mission, presumably because the assassination of the lord of the country caused chaos in the palace, and there was no need to hide the escort mission.
The secret letter requested that Jiang Fu temporarily serve as the escort order for this escort mission, and as for Lin Wanruo from Tianxiang County, let her take over his position and serve as the chief steward of Jiangmafang.
Jiang Fu found Lin Wanruo, it was the young woman, to clarify the matter, Lin Wanruo had no opinion, this mission was originally for her to replace her sister Lin Wanlin, as for who would be the escort order for this mission, she didn't have any idea.
After arranging a place for everyone to rest, Jiang Fu found Li Ming again to discuss the escort mission this time.
Zhou Tianshen, Dao Wuxiang, Wangchan and Zheng Xuan lived in two adjacent rooms, and Zhou Tianshen and Dao Wuxiang lived in one room, which was proposed by Dao Wuxiang.
Forget Zen and Zheng Xuan have a room, which is proposed by Zheng Xuan.
As soon as the little monk returned to the room, he began to meditate and rest, Zheng Xuan was packing up his clothes, and Zhou Tianshen and Dao Wuxiang lived next door, and Dao Wuxiang, who had never made a move, was now becoming less and less in shape, always clamoring to drink the wine in the golden wine pot hanging on Zhou Tianshen's waist.
Zhou Tianshen was recalling this assassination operation, this time he didn't exert much effort, more on the other side of the river to watch the fire, because at the moment of the killer's assassination, his brain was blank, and an invisible force was squeezing his heart, making him breathless.
He didn't tell anyone about this feeling.
After a busy day and a narrow escape from death, Zhou Tianshen fell asleep quickly, there were always few stars at night, and Dao Wuxiang, who had not fallen asleep, said inexplicably, 'There will be rain tomorrow'.
Under the morning light, the convoy was quickly ready to go, and all the carriages in the horse shop were selected, and the carriages were made of iron, which was strong enough, and every tall horse was selected by the horse shop, and the existence of thousands of miles in a day.
The convoy consisted of fifteen carriages, the first four of which were men and horses from the Minoru Dart Bureau, plus some food and water, and the last eight were all from the horse workshop, including martial artists and doctors.
These people are all selected by Jiang Fu from the mortal world to deal with the secret weapons of the border war, and it is also a test for them to be born this time.
The middle three cars are the highlight of the escort mission, just in case, Dao Wuxiang and Forget Chan did not sit together, but took two carriages in front and back, the middle one sat Zhou Tianshen, the puppeteer and Zheng Xuan, and the old woman and Jiang Fu with a long stick served as the grooms of Dao Wuxiang and Forget Zen respectively.
The convoy followed the path behind the horse square all the way to the west, which is an official road specially opened up by the horse square and few people know about it.
Crossing the path, there is the main road.
At this time, there were two convoys driving on the road, a ghost family without a driver and a first-class family in Daoxiang County, the Bai family, who were all white horses.
The convoy reached the middle of the road and quickly overtook the convoy of the Feng Ghost Family and the Bai Family.
Taihang Mountain winds and turns, a total of 1,500 miles of distance, the official roads are repaired mountain roads, although not bumpy all the way, but overnight rush is also a lot of fatigue.
At night, the convoy began to stop to rest, the people on the car helped to move the food and cooking utensils off the carriage, Jiang Fu took the knife, simply ate a bite of hot rice, after eating, the convoy rested in place for a quarter of an hour, and set off again.
As expected, this convoy can arrive at Longmafang at noon tomorrow, start from Longmafang, and walk for another day or two to arrive at Shuixiang County.
Everyone talked and laughed all the way, and the night gradually thickened.
I don't know who exclaimed, and it started to rain outside.
The convoy stopped again, not because it was raining, but because there was a man standing in front of it.
The figure in the rainy night stood alone in the middle of the stone road, and there were two big snakes crawling on both sides of the figure, the big snake spit out a letter, and the rain stood on the scarlet tongue of the big snake, which was instantly evaporated into black gas, which was poisonous.
This is the first reaction of black gas.
More and more black gas spread from the periphery of the big snake, the black gas formed a cloud of mist, the figure held his fingers with both hands, up and down, palms facing each other, tearing the black gas cloud, the cloud changed into a black spear, the figure made a throwing shape, and threw the spear towards the convoy.
The convoy had already reacted at the first time, Jiang Fu was holding a double axe, standing on the carriage, the Minoru dart board lined up on both sides, and Jiang Fu's martial artists selected from the people were lined up in the rear to prevent the enemy from sneaking up.
The spear rushed towards Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu blocked the double axe in front of him, and called the spiritual power in the dantian, the double axe glowed with yellow light, the black gun and the double axe collided together, the explosion sounded, and the black gas dispersed, completely enveloping Jiang Fu.
"Poisonous!"
Jiang Fu shouted, and burst out of the black qi, his body had begun to fester, and the wound began to flow pus and blood.
The doctor hurriedly ran to Jiang Fu's side, stuffed a small pill into his mouth, and then took out a small jade bottle from the medicine box behind him, and the doctor shouted, "This is snake venom, everyone take out realgar wine." ”
After that, he took the lead in throwing out the jade bottle in his hand, the liquid in the bottle and the black gas blended together, and the sound was simmering, and after a while, the black gas and realgar wine turned into white gas and disappeared.
The small pill in Jiang Fu's body also began to work, and the doctor took out a rosewood box from the medicine box, which contained some white powder, and applied the powder to the wound, and a cool breath came, and the whole person began to feel comfortable.
Jiang Fu said with a smile, "You kid is really rich, there are realgar wine, poison pills and eye-catching powder." ”
The doctor wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Steward, now is not the time to be happy. ”
Jiang Fu tugged at the corners of his mouth, picked up the double axe and swung it in front of him, and two yellow axe blades were sent out from the double axe, rushing towards the figure.
Suddenly, a cyan sword shot out from behind the figure in the middle of the road, colliding with the yellow axe blade, the figure retreated, and the big snake also exhaled a breath of black gas, burrowed into the bushes on the side, and disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Fu asked, "What's your name?"
The doctor replied, "Li Wan." ”
Under the hat, a delicate face.
Jiang Fu patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you just now, you go and take a look at the back, this person will be handed over to me." ”
Jiang Fu swooped forward and fought with the mysterious swordsman.
Li Wan sorted out the medicine box and ran to the carriage behind.
When Jiang Fu found that the black gas was poisonous and issued a warning in time, Zhou Tianshen just came out of the carriage, he used the hundred grass chop and the green leaf fall, and when he cut off the heads of the two small cyan snakes, one turned sideways, dodged the sneak attack of a long insect in the left rear, and landed steadily on the roof of the car.
This time the opponent is a poisonous snake, and there is more than one.
The convoy has been caught in a scuffle.
Countless long snakes crawled out of the bushes on both sides of the convoy, spitting scarlet letters, and their fangs shining in the moonlight opened and closed, spewing corrosive gases, but fortunately, with the help of the doctor's realgar wine, Zhou Tianshen was not injured.
After killing the long snake one after another, Zhou Tianshen from the back of the carriage, all the way forward, stopped on the roof of the first car, took off the golden wine jug, and drank a sip of wine, Zhou Tianshen took a full breath, desperately urging the dantian spiritual power, a cyan crescent blade as big as a grinding disc condensed in his palm, he threw it hard to the left, the blue light illuminated the situation under the bushes, the dense long snakes were close together, and the situation on the right side was the same.
Zhou Tianshen took out a few red pebbles from the jade pendant-shaped object and shouted behind him, "Realgar wine." ”
A doctor with a pockmarked face hurriedly threw out a bottle, Zhou Tianshen poured the realgar wine on the pebbles, and while throwing it forward, the palm condensed the crescent blade, the crescent blade slashed on the stone, the stone exploded instantly, Zhou Tianshen threw out a few pebbles again, and threw out the whole bottle of realgar wine, the fire mixed with the realgar wine ignited a fire, and the flame fell on the snakes and began to burn.
When the snakes were in turmoil, Jiang Fu and the swordsman had already decided the winner.
In this assassination operation, the killers must have come prepared.
Jiang Fudi's strength in the five levels of his state of mind was not the opponent of that swordsman, a large piece of flesh on his shoulder was chopped off, and Jiang Fu's legs trembled in pain.
However, the swordsman did not feel much better, Jiang Fu's things were wide open and closed, and every time he made a move, he used all his strength, and the swordsman's sword should be an extraordinary thing, otherwise it would never be possible to withstand the successive slashes of the double axes in Jiang Fu's hands.
Zhou Tianshen jumped down from the carriage and raised the wine jug in his hand to Jiang Fu's eyes, Jiang Fu grinned, drank a small half pot unceremoniously, and returned the wine jug to Zhou Tianshen.
Jiang Fu held his breath and said, "Little doll, get out of the way quickly, so as not to hurt you." ”
Zhou Tianshen flashed to the side, kicked the figure that came out of the bushes to the side, the figure rolled on the ground twice, and wanted to get up, but was tripped by the Banshan Seal used by Zhou Tianshen again, the Banshan Seal is just a simplified version of the Mountain Seal, and it has no ability to move the land, but it can still be done by moving a stone.
After dealing with the figure in red, the confrontation between Jiang Fu and the swordsman began.
The dazzling yellow axe blade and the dazzling cyan sword did not show weakness to each other, bombarding each other, and the roar was endless.
For a while, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood on one side, watching this visual feast.
Zhou Tianshen silently remembered the movements of the two in his heart, and the green mang in his hand kept changing shapes, axe blades, sword rays, and crescent moon blades.
The swordsman suddenly stopped what he was doing, stood on tiptoe, pulled his body upward, retreated one after another, and soon disappeared into the moonlight.
Just when Jiang Fu relaxed his vigilance, several figures rushed towards the convoy from the front, and Zhou Tianshen came to Jiang Fu and recognized one of them at a glance.
Tang Chai!
It's really a narrow road, Zhou Tianshen sneered and rushed to the figure on the left, handing out a punch, the man responded in time, it was also a punch, the two fists slammed together, Zhou Tianshen didn't move, and the man fell backwards.
The remaining two just glanced back, and then they didn't care too much, but quickly came to Jiang Fu, one stabbed a sword, and the other slashed a knife, which were respectively resisted by Dao Wuxiang and Forgetzen who rushed to support.
The two killers hurriedly stepped back, and Tang Chai stood up and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth.
Zhou Tianshen came to the middle of Dao Wuxiang and Forget Zen and said, "What are you doing here?"
Dao Wu thought more and more about it, and said, "Everyone else has hit the door, and if we don't come out, are we still waiting to die?"
Forget Chan's hands were separated from his chest and put them together, his whole body began to glow with golden light, and he said coldly, "The little monk has been holding his breath in his heart since the day he was born. ”
The little monk lowered his head, like King Kong closing his eyes, rushing forward, and the three figures in front of him looked at each other, but no one dared to take the little monk's momentum.
At this moment, the retreating swordsman turned back and slashed at the little monk who was engulfed in golden light with several sword rays, trying to stop him.
The swordsman scolded, "I have encountered a hard stubble, the situation has changed, go back and tell your boss, so that they don't hide it anymore, this time the opponent is not so easy to deal with." ”
The three of them nodded and left, and Zhou Tianshen and Dao Wu wanted to chase forward, but they were stopped by the swordsman.
Zhou Tianshen stood, his palms up, in the palm of his hand, an axe blade, and a sword.
The blue and yellow colors complement each other.
The swordsman laughed and said, "I actually learned my sword, your Wuhe country is really worthy of being a country of stealing, I think there is nothing on this continent that you dare not steal." ”
Zhou Tianshen stretched out his hands, the axe blade and sword gradually became larger, and Zhou Tianshen muttered to himself, "What is humanitarian, the teaching of people, and the habit of passing on." ”
Throwing out the axe blade and sword in his hand, the swordsman picked two swords in a row, and the green and yellow were shattered.
Dao Wuxiang stretched out his hand, and purple-gold lightning was wrapped around his fingers, and the lightning colluded together and turned into a golden talisman, and bursts of spiritual power fluctuations came out from the talisman, like ripples in water, rippling slightly in the air.
Dao Wuxiang said, "Zhou Tianshen, you are really a liar. ”
The talisman disappeared in a flash, and when it appeared on the top of the swordsman's head, it had changed into a golden bell, and the bell covered the swordsman inside, and the complicated ancient inscriptions on the golden bell exuded majesty, so that the swordsman had to bow his head.
Dao Wuxiang slapped Zhou Tianshen on the head, and said lazily, "Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, you are really an expert." If it weren't for your hand, I would have almost been deceived by you. Since you have the ability to steal learning, why don't you let me see, can you learn this golden bell anti-enemy talisman?"
Zhou Tianshen scratched his head and said with a sneer on his face, "How can I learn your Taoist mastery." ”
Dao Wu didn't want to snort coldly, and didn't care about the swordsman who knelt in the golden bell, just tilted his head to the side, and said to the little monk, "Forget Zen, this swordsman is not one of those killers at first glance, if we don't eliminate them all, we may encounter something strange next, are you interested in going and seeing, who wants to kill us?"
The little monk took off his robe, revealing the white clothes inside, moving his muscles and bones, his eyebrows were clear, and his sword eyebrows were starry, and his face was particularly solemn at this time, "The little monk has something to say, and he wants to ask them." ”
Dao Wu wanted to look at Zhou Tianshen, who was immediately alert and said righteously, "A friend's enemy is my enemy." ”
Dao Wuxiang, who had his hands in his sleeves, walked slowly to the Admiralty, and the swordsman was bleeding, his hair was scattered, and he shouted sadly, "Stinky Daoist, let me out"
Smoothing the folds on the Taoist robe, Dao Wu wanted to squat down, saw the swordsman's face clearly, and said with a smile, "What a handsome girl, it's a pity, I am a Taoist family, and I am a woman." ”
The swordsman said disdainfully, "Taoists are not allowed to commit the killing ring, so let me go quickly." ”
Dao Wuxiang laughed softly, laughing so hard that his face was wet with tears, "It's not that I want to kill you, it's that you haven't let us live." ”
The swordsman's face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't say a word.
Dao Wuxiang didn't say anything more, took Zhou Tianshen's hand, and flew forward.
The little monk followed.
Jiang Fu, who had just finished bandaging, wanted to get up to stop the three of them, but was held down by Li Wan, "Grand Steward, the sword in that swordsman is poisonous, you can't urge the spiritual power anymore." ”
Jiang Fu said anxiously, "If there is a difference between the three of them, how can I explain to Boss Yu and the lord of the country?"
"Leave the three of them to us. ”
Tao Wujiang and the three walked out of the crowd, and Tao Wujiang, whose gun was stained with blood, said, "The three of us will escort them safely to Shuixiang County." ”
Jiang Fu sat on the ground and hugged his fists to the three of them, "Thank you." ”
The three of them rushed in the direction where Zhou Tianshen and the three left.
On one of the carriages in the team, Zheng was holding a piece of stationery and reading it with a frown, and the magpie mother-in-law was standing outside the car.
After a long time, Zheng Xuan tore up the letter paper and threw it out of the car window, the magpie mother-in-law heard the voice and walked into the carriage, Zheng Xuan said helplessly, "The injury of the lord of the country has been cured by Yu Xiaodu, and we will run for nothing." ”
Mother-in-law Magpie is a century-old worship of the Zheng family, and has a pivotal position in the Zheng family, even the head of the Zheng family has to give three points of courtesy, asking, "Shall we go back?"
Zheng Xuan opened the plum blossom fan and fanned it gently, "That's the only way." ”
The two disappeared into the night.
Galloping all the way, Zhou Tianshen and the three of them quickly caught up with Tang Chai and the three.
After landing, Zhou Tianshen took a step forward, and so did Tang Chai.
The two looked at each other, each put on a boxing fight, and rushed forward, Zhou Tianshen followed Meng Cheng's side, he had not learned boxing, but he had also heard and seen some of it, Tang Chai was practicing boxing, the gap between the two was obvious, however, this gap was quickly made up by the gap between the realms.
Each took two steps back, Zhou Tianshen spit out the blood in his mouth, but Tang Chai had two teeth knocked out.
Dao Wuxiang put his arm on Forget Zen's shoulder, and asked curiously, "What kind of enmity do these two have, oh, I remember, Zhou Tianshen's arm was broken by him." ”
"Shut up!" Zhou Tianshen roared.
Tang Chai smiled more ugly than crying, pointed to Zhou Tianshen's arm and asked, "Does your arm hurt?"
Zhou Tianshen's face was gloomy, his hands pinched, the axe blade condensed in the palm of his hand, Zhou Tianshen roared and rushed towards Tang Chai, Tang Chai clenched his fists with both hands, and put out an ancient fist fight, on the fist, the spiritual power gathered, a golden thunder ball was condensed, the thunder ball and the axe blade bombarded together, the smoke was everywhere, and the two scuffled together again.
Seeing their lively fight, Dao Wuxiang also felt itchy to his bones, and walked forward, "Which of you two will come first?"
The other two were unwilling to entangle with them, so they hurriedly took out the signal flare from their arms, and as soon as they pulled the line, the red light point rushed into the sky, illuminating the entire forest, and masked people in various clothes came out of the woods one by one, surrounding the three of them layer by layer.
In the foreground, it was pitch black, and four lights could be seen floating in the air in the distance, figures elongated, and the sound of horses' hooves echoing through the trees.
When the two heard the voice, they looked back and said ecstatically, "I didn't expect that the boss of the Red Mountain would come out in person, and you would die." ”
The two men ran to the side, blending into the killer, and a red-maned fiery horse stepped out of the night.
On the back of the horse sat a masked man, the masked man held a black short knife in his hand, the short knife had no edge, and the slightest black gas jumped on the knife surface, and three more people came out of the dark night behind the red horse, a woman with a water snake waist, a man with a scarred face, and an old man.
The masked man is the boss of the red mountain in the killer's mouth, I saw him jump off the horse, the red horse obediently disappeared into the night, the masked man said, "The killer should not be the enemy opposite the person." ”
The old man shouted, "Tang Chai, come back." ”
Tang Chai retreated to the old man's side.
The masked man stabbed on his chest, and the black qi as thick as a branch gushed out from the short knife, and the knife qi turned into a black spider, constantly spitting out silk and weaving webs, and the cobwebs were wisps of knife qi, and Zhou Tianshen and the three of them were the prey trapped in the cobwebs.
The woman with the waist of the water snake held her fingers with both hands, two big snakes drilled out of her back, the scar of the bowl healed quickly, and the big snake spit out black gas from its mouth as if it was blocked in front of the convoy, and the black gas formed a cloud and was kneaded into a black spear by the woman.
Scarface was the killer who killed Zhou Tianshen and the others that day, and after the old man in the wheelchair died, he took over the old black demon.
Holding his twin swords, he slashed a semicircle in front of him, and the afterimage stagnated in the air, forming a full moon composed of sword qi.
The old man once rode in Zhou Tianshen's carriage, looking at his kind eyebrows, but in fact, he was the most qualified killer among the four.
He clenched his hands into fists, his left fist was vertical on the left side, and his right fist was horizontal on the right, and the fist wind wind was generated from the two fists, and the wind balls with a large human head were suspended in the two fists.
All four of them belong to the leaders of the killer organization, and as soon as they make a move, they do their best and leave no hands behind.
Maybe they were too confident in their own strength, and the masked men didn't make a move, but waited for Zhou Tianshen and them to make a move.
Dao Wu wanted to play a sigh, lotus flowers were born from his feet, in the lotus, stood a young man in a robe, each young man in a robe had purple and golden lightning lingering on his fingers, and a rune was born from the air, the golden bell resisted the enemy, and the bell rang melodiously and long.
Forgetting Zen is still a solemn color, two Buddha statues appear behind him, the Bodhisattva has a low brow, and Vajra is angry.
The Bodhisattva stands a golden pagoda in his hand, and the sound of chanting comes from the tower, and there is a dragon-descending pestle in the hand of Vajra, and two golden dragons are wound around it.
Zhou Tianshen is the lowest realm, and the tricks he makes are also the most unhanded, crescent-shaped slashes.
The masked man roared, "Hurry up." ”
Everyone immediately touched their hearts and minds, and urged the spiritual power of the dantian with all their might.
The black spider jumped into the air, the cobwebs tightened, the knife qi cut and scraped the Buddha statue and the lotus, the space actually produced ripples, the spear in the woman's hand, threw at the spider, the poisonous gas blended, and the black clouds covered the sky.
The full moon pierced the sky, tearing the air, and the wind was absorbed by the wind balls, and the wind balls that rose against the storm were more like a full moon, smashing into the three of them.
The golden light spell turned into a mouthful of golden bells, covering the three of them in it, and the lotus flowers fell, and the petals adhered to the golden bells to resist the attack. The Bodhisattva threw the golden pagoda upward, folded his hands, chanted the sutras and worshiped the Buddha, the Buddhist scriptures fell down from the golden pagoda, and the black clouds hung low and gradually thinned.
King Kong holds the dragon pestle, the double dragon is exhausted, bites the wind ball, the double dragon plays with the pearl, and the full moon is broken.
Dao Wuxiang and Zen Forgetting are both Heavenly Realm cultivation, and the four men in the mask are just nine levels of the Dizang Realm, the difference between one level and the difference between the worlds and the world.
What's more, there is also a Zhou Tianshen who didn't make a move.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Tianshen only has human realm cultivation, and it is really not enough to see such a battle, but the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill.
When the four of them hurriedly dealt with the two young men of Dao and Buddha, did they still have the energy to think about the young man in the human realm.
The axe blade and the sword are all stolen learning, but Zhou Tianshen does not agree very much, cultivation depends on hard work, and the realm depends on enlightenment.
The axe blades and swords that struck from both sides were easily resisted by the old man and Scarface, while on the frontal battlefield, the full moon and wind balls were all smashed by the vajra, and the black clouds also disappeared under the light of the Buddhist scriptures.
At this time, the sky is bright.
The lotus flower withered, the golden bell shattered, the bodhisattva dispersed, and Vajra became invisible.
This battle was a draw.
Dao Wuxian and Zen Forgetfulness's foreheads were covered with sweat, and Zhou Tianshen's back was already soaked. Looking at the four people in front of them, although they are not shaky, they are also physically exhausted.
The battle between the heavens and the earth, there is no heaven and earth cracking, but it is also devastating.
The divine realm above the heavenly realm is even more simple and thorough.
The seven of them had no strength to fight again, but they were surrounded by killers, and it was easy to kill the three people at this time, and in this battle, Zhou Tianshen and they lost.
But...
A dragon groan came from behind the trio, and a dragon head rushed out from behind, knocking the killer to the ground.
Three paper cranes landed from the sky, and Liu Huan and Zhang Fu stood on the paper cranes, Liu Huan took out the pill and let the three of them take it.
Zhang Fu threw out several paper figures from his sleeve, and the paper figures staggered and grew into three-meter-tall giants.
Tao Wujiang and the three rushed to support.
