Chapter 42: Who Released the Dark Arrow?... Strange hexagrams!
(Collect!)
"Third brother, flash mob!"
A small minion standing next to the black-clothed masked man at the head of the dinghy could only hear the sound of the wind "whoosh!", and judged from experience that someone on the opposite side had released a cold arrow. After he shouted www.biquge.info he pushed his master with both hands, and he jumped from the boat into the pool to dodge.
The speed of the dark arrow was also extremely fast, and everyone could not make out its trajectory with the naked eye. Then a local noise was heard, and the first dark arrow seemed to have finally landed on a piece of metal.
Plop! Plop!
All the minions on the boat where the black-clothed masked man in the middle was located jumped into the pool one by one, while the personnel on the other two boats lifted multiple planks from the deck as fast as they could, and built a defensive layer in the direction of Li Daoyi and the others.
Li Dao was so shocked that he couldn't be more than he could do without his own order, who set this cold arrow? Don't you know that there are still more than a dozen people on your side whose lives are in the hands of this group of thieves? If you really shoot these black-clothed masked people to death, then the 12 members of the water-drawing team who were captured on your side will not want to live!
"Who's doing it!
Li Daoyi turned his head sharply and roared angrily.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
...
Several family patriarchs who knew the seriousness of the matter also turned their heads and yelled at the people behind them.
However, the people standing behind them looked at each other, and they all looked at each other and didn't know who to stop!
Looking up at the mountain road again, the water carrying team members who had just taken water and were returning to Wudang Mountain were also carefully holding the flat pole carrying the water, burying their heads in the mountains and climbing the mountain wholeheartedly, and they also did not have the time and motivation to shoot this cold arrow!
"Look there! The leaves are moving very abnormally, there should be people hiding them!"
A royal family with very sharp eyes suddenly pointed to the most dense position of the leaves on Wudang Mountain, dozens of meters away, and shouted.
"Hurry up and get over to the two of you!
Li Daoyi didn't care whether there were really people hidden there, or if it was a normal wind blowing trees, he didn't hesitate to give this order. In any case, he must take action to scare away the killer hiding in the shadows by scaring the snake, otherwise, if he lets this mysterious man shoot a few more dark arrows, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
After receiving the order, several family members immediately pulled out their long knives and aimlessly searched the places where the foliage was thicker.
Of course, Wudang Mountain is so big, there are so many trees and caves, and it is almost a fool's dream to find the killer hiding in the shadows with just a few people.
But fortunately, Li Daoyi sent a few family members to search for the dense foliage not far away, but the effect was immediate. After all, when you look at the lake again, it slowly regains its previous calm, and it is no longer attacked by other dark arrows.
The masked black-clothed men who jumped into the pool to avoid the dark arrows saw in the water that it was indeed not the cold arrows released by Li Daoyi and the others, and estimated that the limelight had passed, so they surfaced one by one and boarded the dinghy again.
When the little leader known as the "Third Brother" at the head boarded the boat, he could clearly see that there was a featherless arrow made of pure iron stuck straight into his chest!
"Third brother, are you okay?"
"Third brother!"
"It's okay! Fortunately, I'm wearing heart guards, otherwise, the third master, I will definitely die today!"
The little leader, known as the third brother, said angrily. As he spoke, he grasped the tip of the cold arrow, gritted his teeth, and jerked it out of his heart guard. His heart goggles were made of pig iron, with a thickness of about eight centimeters, but today they were penetrated by this cold arrow by five centimeters!
It can be seen that the power of this cold arrow is extremely great!
The little leader held the cold arrow he had just pulled out in his hand, and said to Li Daoyi with a sneer: "How can this be explained? If you Wudang want to start a war with us in Qishan, you can just write a war letter openly, and you don't need to use this kind of indiscriminate means! Besides, you still have twelve people in our hands, if you really don't care about their lives or deaths, then we will sacrifice the blood of those twelve people to the battle flag tonight!"
Li Daoyi hurriedly said with a smile: "Old neighbor, this is a bad statement! The dark arrow just now was not released by my people, and when you were attacked by the secret arrow just now, we were even more anxious than you! According to ordinary common sense, we still have more than ten people's lives in your hands, and even if we are annoyed, we dare not act so rashly! Therefore, the arrow just now must have been shot in the shadows by someone who wanted to provoke a dispute between our two mountains! I hope that the old neighbor can calm down, and don't be blinded by superficial phenomena, so that the villain can benefit from it!"
"Hehe, then I have the right to believe you again, there are really villains in the province who succeed in their tricks! However, the master was taken aback just now, and you are also responsible for the crime of poor guards. Therefore, the deadline for you to hand over the grain in three days was originally revised to one o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, but it is still the same sentence, and you will not wait for the expiration date! Old neighbor, hurry home and prepare the grain!"
With that, the little leader rowed away cautiously with three small boats.
Li Daoyi couldn't help but shout again, and said, "Old neighbor, how much food you have to pay, and you can discuss it again!"
"Hehe, if you really want to discuss it again, then before noon tomorrow, come to our Qishan alone and discuss with our master of the big village and the master of the second village!
As he spoke, the dinghy had gradually rowed away and anchored to the opposite side.
Li Daoyi took everyone back to Wudang Mountain boringly, and along the way, he and the four patriarchs of the construction family were silently thinking about something.
Li Daoer knew that because of his mistakes, he once again created a huge problem for Li Daoyi, and he couldn't help but feel very guilty in his heart, and he was uncharacteristically silent on the side. In fact, seriously, Li Daoer can't be blamed entirely, because the gang of thieves on Qishan has long wanted to grab a handful of Wudang Mountain, but they have never been able to find an excuse.
And Li Daoer's mistake was at most a fuse for them to provoke an incident!
"This is really a strange thing, who is secretly releasing a cold arrow towards the master of the three villages? Could it be that the monk in the White Dragon Temple sneaked into Wudang Mountain, wanting to secretly provoke the relationship between Wudang and Qishan, and profit from the fisherman? Hey, in addition, you need to pay 1,200 catties of rice to release the captured members of your own family, this is really a headache!"
An hour later, Li Dao returned to Wudang Mountain with a headache.
At this time, the first few family members who went to the dense foliage to search for the Hidden Arrow Killer according to Li Daoyi's order also returned, and they shook their heads and said that nothing abnormal was noticed. This couldn't help but make Li Daoyi even more depressed.
The Yellow Turban Lux who went to the bottom of the mountain to deliver a letter to Wu Dalang also returned, and then handed over a letter from Wu Dalang to Li Daoyi. Li Dao felt even more that he couldn't exchange 1,200 catties of rice for the twelve members, otherwise, the loss would be too great.
It turned out that Wu Dalang also decided to take people to Wudang Mountain to take refuge the day before the war, so the pressure on the food supply on Wudang Mountain would increase sharply again. Therefore, the loss of sending out 1,200 catties of rice is too great. What's more, if you send it once, it means that you are showing weakness to Qishan, and you may not be able to ask for a second, third, or even more time...,
And if you want to fundamentally prevent similar things from happening and deal with the relationship with your "neighbors", you still have to let them know that they are not easy to bully!
The patriarchs of the four families also stepped forward one after another to ask Li Daoyi what he was going to do.
Li Daoyi sent them all away first, saying that he had to be quiet and carefully count a few hexagrams before making a decision. In addition, he also promised that as long as all the patriarchs concentrate on their own work, the work of saving people will be successfully completed.
After sending everyone away, Li Daoyi closed the door of the thatched hut and took out his five copper coins and began divination.
The first hexagram is the auspicious culprit of the twelve people who were captured by the Qishan bandits. The result of this hexagram is very similar to the result when Li Daoyi used copper coin arithmetic to calculate Li Daoer's time when he was caught by the government, which is a great omen.
However, Li Daoyi is not very worried. After all, Li Daoer was rescued from the knife by himself, and the lives of these twelve personnel still have a good chance of being saved by themselves.
As the saying goes, there is no absolute bad omen, and there is no absolute good omen. Everything in the world seems to be fixed, but in fact it is in flux, just like the thermal movement of the score, which never stops.
Just after calculating the first hexagram, Li Daoyi suddenly received a prompt from the "head system", saying that his copper coin arithmetic had been upgraded to the third level, and the time to predict the future had increased from one week to one month!
Sure enough, the more you practice what you learn from "Qimen Dunjia", the more handy it will be to master.
Li Daoyi was overjoyed, so he calculated the second hexagram on a whim.
In the second hexagram, he somehow calculated the fortune of the Qishan "Sanzhai Master" within a month.
This calculation is not important, but it surprised Li Daoyi. It turned out that he had gotten a good omen this time, and there was also a word "king"! When Li Daoyi wanted to foresee the fortune of the Sanzhai master more clearly, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual resistance...
