Volume III, Chapter 647
The inside of the mountain temple is even more desolate than the outside, the stone bricks on the ground are broken, and there is a lot of dead grass growing between the cracks, and through the small courtyard, into the main hall, the inside is empty, only a broken statue of the god is placed in the middle.
Lin Haotian's eyes flashed with a faint ghostly light, and he looked around, not even a ghost shadow was found, and then he looked back at Shao Lin and asked him wordlessly: Where is the chivalrous sect you are talking about?
Shao Lin was also a little embarrassed at this time, lowered his head, and was silent.
Lin Haotian ignored him anymore, walked directly to the statue, suddenly felt an itch on his face, reached out and scratched it, and found that it was a spider silk that fell on his face, this is obviously a broken temple that no one has been to for a long time, where is there any chivalrous sect?
He raised his eyes to look at the shrine, which was covered with cobwebs, and when he looked closely, the shrine was a mountain god with a long fork in his hand, with a fierce appearance, grinning teeth, and covered in fluff, standing in the dark and ruined temple, so that it was not scary.
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said, "It turns out that the mountain god of this mountain looks like this......"
Shao Lin and the others looked at each other, my lord, who is here to worship the mountain god, but to laugh at the mountain god!
Lin Haotian's voice had just fallen, and suddenly, there was a soft click on everyone's heads, which was like the sound of roof tiles vibrating, and before Lin Haotian and the others could react, a cold light shot down from the roof, and a click was heard in the ear chakra, and a short sword was nailed to the ground not far from Lin Haotian, and its strength was so great that one-third of the sword body was not in the ground.
"The Xiaoyao Gate is here to do business, and the idle people are waiting to leave!" the eerie, cold voice came down from the rooftop.
Shao Lin and the others were frightened, and they shivered coldly, and immediately protected Lin Haotian's side, looking around with all their vigilance.
Lin Haotian was not as nervous as everyone else, and he could see from the other party's sword throwing target that the other party was not trying to hurt people, but simply warned him with a slight smile. The tone was calm, and he said slowly: "I passed by this place late at night, and I was about to stay in the temple for one night, and my friend asked me to leave at this time, it's too difficult for a strong man?"
I didn't expect that the other party would be able to speak up after receiving his own warning, and the person on the roof was also a little surprised. After a moment of silence, he said in a cold voice, "You can settle down at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Seeing that the other party had no intention of doing anything to himself, Lin Haotian did not show his weapon, he just wanted to see who this person who called himself Xiaoyaomen, but the other party was not one person, but there were six people He looked around at a few people, most of them were between thirty and forty years old, but he could feel that these people were outstanding underworld warriors.
"Beast-type Warrior?"
Lin Haotian nodded with a smile. said: "You have good eyesight!"
"You're from the Wood Gang?"
What kind of gang is this? Lin Haotian was puzzled, shook his head and said, "It's not."
"Since it's not, then the friend should leave, don't get into trouble"
"Hehe" Lin Haotian chuckled lightly and said, "You do your business, we rest ours, everyone's well water does not interfere with the river water, why do you have to drive us out of this temple?"
The man in black on the other side said impatiently, "Brother Zhou." If this person wants to stay and die, then let him stay. What does he do?"
The man in black, who was called Brother Zhou, frowned slightly, and then said: "This friend, tonight, we are going to fight to the death with the Mu Gang here, and when we start to do it, the two sides will kill each other, and it will inevitably hurt the innocent." You'd better take your friends and go!"
Oh, it turns out that the two sects are going to fight here! What a knight, that's a nice saying, to put it bluntly, a knight is a gangster!
Lin Haotian sneered in his heart, but it was rare to have a lively look. He didn't want to miss it, he said: "Thank you for your kindness, although your Excellency can rest assured, although we are not masters, we are by no means powerless people, and it is still no problem to protect ourselves." ”
Brother Zhou's brows furrowed, and he was about to speak, when there was a croaking bird cry outside the temple, several black-clothed people were shocked when they heard the sound, Brother Zhou looked directly at Lin Haotian and said: "Since my friend is so insistent, I have to wade through this troubled water, and there is an accident, don't blame me for not reminding you." After speaking, he shook his head at the black-clothed people on the left and right and said, "Go!"
Following his order, several black-clothed people rushed out of the temple, and after a few ups and downs, the figures of the six black-clothed men disappeared into the night.
As soon as they left, Shao Lin came out of nowhere, walked quietly behind Lin Haotian like a ghost, and whispered, "My lord?"
It seemed that he had already known that Shao Lin was behind him, and Lin Haotian said without looking back: "Tonight, it should be very lively here" As he spoke, his figure disappeared and returned to the temple.
Pulling out the short sword from the ground, Lin Haotian looked at it repeatedly, there was nothing special, but the sword was engraved with the word Xiaoyao Lin Haotian didn't know much about the chivalrous sect, and asked Tong Lei: "Have you heard of this Xiaoyao Gate before?"
Tong Lei's face was solemn, nodded, and said: "Xiaoyaomen can be regarded as a first-class sect in my Jin Country's chivalrous world, but Xiaoyaomen has always been self-disciplined and rarely participates in sect disputes, how could it suddenly appear here in the barren mountains and mountains this time?"
"They claim to be the Wood Gang, have you heard of it?"
"Wood Gang?" Shao Lin and Tong Lei glanced at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
Shao Lin and Tong Lei are from the Jin Kingdom, and they are also very familiar with the Jin Kingdom's chivalrous sects, and they have never heard of the sects, either they are too small, or they are too mysterious, and they are unknown and pondered for a while, Tong Lei said: "Since it is called the Mu Gang, will it be a gang composed of Mu people?"
Lin Haotian's heart moved, and he secretly said Yes, if it is really a wooden gang, then he has to stay and see what is going on Thinking of this.
They had just left the temple, passed through the courtyard, and were just about to go out, but before they could step outside the door, several strong winds suddenly hit them, and they were so fast that they were close in the blink of an eye, thanks to Lin Haotian and the others who reacted quickly enough, and their cultivation was also profound
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
More than a dozen crossbow arrows almost screamed and flew over their bodies, and two of them were nailed to the door panel of the temple door, and with two snaps, the crossbow arrows directly penetrated the door panel, leaving two round holes in it, which can also be seen how strong these crossbow arrows are. If it really shoots on Shao Lin and Tong Lei, who are not in armor, they will have to take half a life if they don't die.
Not good, there's an ambush outside!
Lin Haotian was stunned at first, then grinned, and said excitedly: "When will you wait until you don't watch the excitement at this time?" As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "Go." Let's see if Xiaoyaomen can win the Mu Gang or if the Mu Gang can defeat Xiaoyaomen!"
Although he wanted to see the excitement, he was not stupid enough to go out of the temple directly to watch, Lin Haotian took Shao Lin and Tong Lei to a lower courtyard wall, lifted his toes, and showed half of his head to look out.
There are at least dozens of people on both sides fighting, and most of them are underworld warriors, and the whole scene is people coming and going, flowing waves shuttling, flying sand and rocks. The sky and the earth change color, and the momentum is not amazing.
The fierce battle between the two groups lasted for more than half an hour, and one of them began to gradually lose its opponent, and retreated to the side of the mountain temple where Lin Haotian was located, even so, from time to time someone was still injured under the opponent's weapon.
"Hmph" Someone on the dominant side sneered and said loudly: "Say that you are the number one sect in the Jin Country, and you can see you today." That's it, today, none of you want to leave this mountain alive," he said. Suddenly, an arrow stepped forward, and the long sword in his hand was aimed at a warrior who was retreating three times in a row.
These three swords were surprisingly fast, and they looked at it coldly, as if they only stabbed him with one sword, and even Lin Haotian, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but be taken aback. I was shocked in my heart: This person is so fast!
The Underworld warrior who was attacked by him couldn't dodge, and was stabbed by his three swords, one through the throat, one through the heart, and the last through the lower abdomen. It can be said that these three swords, swords and swords are all fatal killing moves, and the three swords of the underworld warrior were all stabbed, so how could he die? He didn't even scream, he fell to the ground on his back, and was killed on the spot.
Seeing this, the companion next to him had bloodshot eyes, roared, and the big knife in his hand shone brightly, and then, the knife slashed across the opponent, which was not an ordinary attack, but contained the martial arts skill - condensing the light.
Condensing light is one of the commonly used martial arts skills of knights in battle, concentrating all their own strength and spiritual energy, suddenly bursting out, and issuing a fatal blow, the attack of condensing divine light, whether it is strength or degree, is two to three times that of the usual moves, and the power is huge, of course, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
Seeing that the opponent's move was terrifying, and there was a faint sound of muffled thunder and roaring, the man was also holding up, without avoiding it, raising his long sword, and taking the opponent's fatal blow.
In the ear chakra, a piercing golden sound was heard, and the person was hit by the force, his feet were close to the ground, and he slid backwards more than five meters away, and the underworld warrior who made the move was swaying because of the exhaustion of his spiritual energy and physical strength, and if it weren't for the companions on both sides reaching out to support him, he might not even be able to stand at this time.
The person who received the move was only shocked back, and there was no damage, but the person who made the move had already collapsed, which shows the huge gap in strength between the two sides, and the weak side that was not at all in the same grade completely gave up resistance and retreated into the mountain temple, and the superior side was not in a hurry to attack, but just dispersed first and surrounded the mountain temple to ensure that the people inside could not escape.
Looking at the dozen or so people who had retreated back to the temple, Lin Haotian, Shao Lin and the others stood silently aside, and before they could speak, one of the dozen or so underworld warriors spoke: "I kindly told you to leave just now, but if you don't leave, now you can't leave if you want to!"
This person was covered with armor, Lin Haotian couldn't recognize who he was, but he could recognize the voice, it was the 'Brother Zhou' who was talking to him on the roof just now.
On Lin Haotian's face, there was no nervousness, but he said with a smile: "You Xiaoyaomen are also considered to be a big sect, but you were defeated by a little-known wooden gang, and you were trapped in this broken temple, it is really a shame to be thrown home." ”
"Boy, what are you talking about?" The battle was unfavorable, many brothers were killed and wounded, and they were trapped in the Jedi, many of the underworld warriors were anxious and angry, and now when they heard Lin Haotian's sarcasm, where could they stand it, several underworld warriors raised their big blades, and their edges were always aimed at Lin Haotian.
"Nine times out of ten, this kid is a member of the Wood Gang!"
"To Shao and him, kill him first!"
People shouted and shouted, and there was a posture of rushing forward to break Lin Haotian's body to pieces.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shao Lin and Tong Lei stood in front of Lin Haotian one after another, staring at each other with vigilance, and at this time, another person in the crowd stood up and waved his hand to the companions around him, signaling everyone to calm down. Then he said: "If this friend is a member of the Wood Gang, he has already shot behind our back just now, so he doesn't have to wait until now, and listening to the accent, they are golden people, not wooden people." ”
Yo, Lin Haotian heard this. was stunned for a moment, and looked curiously at the person who spoke, first, the other party was very calm-headed and analyzed very accurately, and second, although the other party's voice was low and a little hoarse, it could still be distinguished, it was a woman's voice.
The other party is also dressed in white armor, and he can't see what he looks like, but he has big eyes. It is also full of dark energy, and between the rotation of the bones, the spirit is exposed.
Before seeing her appearance, Lin Haotian had a good impression of her, he smiled at the other party: "What the girl said is right, I am not a member of the Wood Gang, not a wooden person, but a golden person with a fake exchange" After a pause, he pretended to be curious and asked: "What?
"It used to be. Not necessarily," the man named Brother Zhou replied coldly while checking the wound on his arm.
Lin Haotian frowned secretly and asked, "How do you say this?"
His voice was not yet finished. I heard someone outside shouting: "Listen, people from the Xiaoyao Gate, now you only have two ways to choose, one is to die, the other is to submit, you want to die or live, you choose for yourself."
Brother Zhou raised his head. yelled back, "You want us to submit to your wooden gang, don't dream......"
"Haha, it seems that you are seeking death? ”
The voice fell for a short time, and the sound of breaking gold outside the temple rang out, and then. Countless crossbow arrows shot from the dark shadows outside the temple.
"Go into the temple to avoid the arrows!"
The woman among the Underworld Warriors was obviously the leader of these people, and under her beckoning, more than a dozen Underworld Warriors in the courtyard rushed towards the temple.
They were fast, Lin Haotian was faster, he flashed in directly with Feng Ling, Shao Lin and Tong Lei also covered their armor, and followed in while dialing the crossbow arrows.
The temple is dilapidated, there are no doors or windows, and it is ventilated on all sides, and even if you hide in it, there are still crossbow arrows shooting from the outside, or nailing to the wall, or nailing to the ground, and the sound of tinkling is endless.
Such an arrow formation is scary enough for ordinary people, but for Lin Haotian and Shao Lin, it has long been commonplace, compared with the arrow array when the two armies were fighting, this is a small thing, and it cannot be compared at all.
Lin Haotian didn't even cover his armor, he just sat in a dead corner where arrows couldn't shoot, looked up at the statue of the mountain god who was hit by crossbow arrows from time to time and fell straight into the mud, shook his head and muttered: "This is your mountain god is unlucky enough, it's just that there is no incense, and now you can't even keep your own shrine." ”
It's hard to imagine that Lin Haotian still has the leisure to say this in this kind of dense rain of arrows. The female underworld warrior not far from him looked at him strangely, and her heart was also full of curiosity about Lin Haotian's identity, but one thing was certain, these people trapped in the temple with them were definitely not ordinary people, or even ordinary knights.
After a short time, Lin Haotian also found that the female underworld warrior's gaze had been falling on him, he turned his head, grinned, and asked, "What kind of gang is this wooden gang?"
Realizing that she had been staring at others for too long, the female underworld warrior unnaturally withdrew her gaze, but fortunately she was covered with armor, so that her crimson cheeks would not be exposed to the eyes of everyone at this time. After a while, she calmed down and explained: "The Wooden Gang is not a gang, but the collective name of our Jin Guo Knights for the Wooden Gang, and all gangs composed of wooden people can be called the Wooden Gang. ”
"I see" Lin Haotian and Shao Lin and Tong Lei glanced at each other, no wonder they had never heard of the Youmu Gang before, it turned out to be just a vague general name.
"That'...... What kind of gang are these people out there?"
"We don't know the name of their gang either," the female underworld warrior shook her head and said, " These wooden knights behaved strangely, and the means were extremely vicious, originally we had no grievances with them, but suddenly one day I received their post from Xiaoyaomen, asking us to submit to it, the door owner naturally did not allow, nor did he respond, as a result, our two cousins were killed by these wooden knights This time, we got information, the wooden country knights settled in this mountain temple, so the door master sent me to kill, but when we arrived, there was no one here, and then later, it was you who arrived, and it may be your arrival that alarmed the returning wooden knights, so that the ambush we had arranged in advance became useless, which can only be fought outside the temple. ”
"In this way, is it our fault?" Lin Haotian was amused by the words of the female underworld warrior, judging from the strength of both sides, even if the other party was fooled and entered the ambush they had arranged in advance, they might not be able to win, and then he asked, "Why did the Mu Gang annex your Xiaoyaomen?"
"Of course, it's to expand the strength, and I want to instruct our Jin people's sect to do things for their wooden people. The female underworld warrior rolled her eyes and speculated suspiciously, "I guess that the assassins who have been assassinating around recently must have something to do with them. ”
Hearing this, Lin Haotian's eyes suddenly lit up, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what she said was not impossible, and this group of people from the Mu Gang might be the people who went against the gold flow, so this matter had something to do with him.
He lowered his head and was silent, but his eyes kept turning, and Shao Lin and Tong Lei also showed thoughtful expressions.
As they spoke, the arrows outside gradually stopped, and then, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard in the courtyard, and you didn't need to look to know that it was the enemy outside who jumped over the wall.
Brother Zhou clenched his long sword, took a deep breath, and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, prepare to fight, go out with me, and kill all the thieves!"
It can be seen that Brother Zhou's reputation among the crowd is very high, he raised his arms and shouted, everyone responded, and more than a dozen underworld warriors stood up from all corners, even if they knew that the enemy was powerful, they might not be able to defeat it, but they still had to follow Brother Zhou out to fight.
At this time, the female underworld warrior shouted: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, don't go out!"
"Hall Master, are we going to stay here and wait for death?" Brother Zhou asked with a low roar.
The female underworld warrior didn't speak, but it could be seen from her eyes that she was also in a dilemma now. (To be continued......)
