Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 27 The Sea of Fire

The situation in the small hall was unknown, Zhang Meng was always on guard, and immediately noticed that someone seemed to be quietly coming, so he immediately turned around suddenly, and pulled out most of the sword in his waist with a "brush".

Looking straight at the past, he was an old man, wearing a long crown, his face was like a skeleton, and his dry body was wrapped in a wide deep coat with black edges on a white background, as if a ghost walked at night, especially in the middle of the night, and he was dressed so formally and dignifiedly, let alone weird and grotesque.

"Who is you?"

Zhang Meng, who had the advanced concepts of his previous life, would never believe in strange powers, but in the boundless darkness, he couldn't help but not be nervous when he encountered such a strange old man with wide robes and big sleeves in such a glowing and fragrant palace room.

The old man's eyes remained motionless as if he were in a pretended sleep, and his long eyebrows trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips. Zhang Meng noticed that his face was smooth and without half a beard, and his skin was like congealed fat, like a woman who had lived in the boudoir for a long time.

"Incense...... Incense ......"

The old man suddenly muttered, stretched his hands forward, crushed the broken steps under his feet, and slowly moved to the side.

Zhang Meng took two steps back, pulled out his steel sword and held it horizontally in front of him, keeping a distance from the old man.

"Incense ......"

The old man bent over and groped on the empty ground, repeating the same words in his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng thought to himself: "There is obviously nothing there, what is he looking for?" Thinking of the old man's closed eyes, "Oh, could it be that he can't see?" ”

"Incense...... Incense ......"

The old man seemed to be enchanted, and his tone gradually became rapid.

Zhang Meng turned his head to look at the two-story high platform in the middle of the hall, on the top of the high platform stood a large terracotta figurine of the height of a person, and the bottom was surrounded by burning incense candles and all kinds of small human-shaped pottery figurines, bronze bells and chimes and other utensils, which seemed to be a carefully arranged altar.

Because of the uneven light, the shape of the large terracotta figurines in the center is not clear, but it looks like the appearance of a woman with a long skirt and ribbon. Zhang Meng observed Xu for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Blind...... Empress...... Oh! Could it be that the blind eye refers to this old man of unknown origin, and the queen is ......" His gaze moved to the big terracotta figurine again.

"I'm afraid that through that old man, I can get the answer I want."

Zhang Meng calmed down, and was about to take the initiative to talk to the old man, but before he could think about it, the lights outside the hall suddenly turned on, and the pungent smoke immediately poured into his mouth and nose.

"There's movement in there! The people are inside! ”

"Hurry up and light the fire and force him out!"

Zhang Meng heard the sound of gossip and shouting, looked around, and saw that the outside of the hall was as bright as day, and countless figures were reflected in the window, shuttling back and forth. When I turned my head, I saw that the old man was gone.

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Mengzheng didn't know what was going on, and the foreground was in a trance because of the smoke that spread into the hall, and suddenly saw two people emerge from the smoke, grinning and waving knives. He dodged a knife sideways, fought backhand, and the blade of the sword stabbed into a person in the face, and the opposite side screamed and fell, twisting and rolling violently.

Another person came one after another, raising his knife and slashing, Zhang Meng improvised and touched his waist with his left hand.

The man thought that there was a sneak attack with a hidden weapon, so he hurriedly collected the return ceremony and kept the door. Zhang Meng shouted, and leaned forward while threatening, trying to sink his shoulders and hit him, but the man reacted in time and set up a knife to protect one side.

The original owner of the body has rich experience in fighting, and it is almost a conditioned reflex that drives Zhang Meng to act, he does not wait for the old moves, and the backhand sword splits, and the momentum is heavy to press the opponent's blade.

The two knives are in tune, sparks are splashing, and they don't give in to each other.

The man went all out, trying all his strength to pick Zhang Meng's sword away, but he didn't expect that Zhang Meng was waiting for this moment, grabbed the moment when the man was struggling, and suddenly abandoned the sword.

"Whew-"

The man gritted his teeth but was empty, his center of gravity was immediately unstable, his body shook, Zhang Meng let out a long roar, seized the opportunity to pounce on him, and pressed him to the ground with his strength and weight, and knocked off the knife in his hand by the way.

This kind of trick is no longer an ordinary martial arts skill, but a real life-fighting move, whenever this happens, the blood hidden in the blood of the original owner of the body can always drive Zhang Meng to win in danger.

The man struggled violently, Zhang Meng did not hesitate, first punched and smashed the bridge of his nose, causing his face to be covered with blood, and then put his hands together like iron tongs, strangled his neck and kept exerting force.

In a moment, the man's face changed from ochre to reddish-purple, and then from reddish-purple to pig's liver. Not long after, he rolled his eyes, but he didn't get any air, and soon suffocated to death. Zhang Meng let go of his hand at this time, only to see that the man's neck was blackened for an extra week, and it was as obvious as a hemp rope wrapped around it.

"Well, they're not thieves, they're ......."

After the fierce battle, Zhang Meng stabilized his mind a little, looked at the two corpses that fell to the ground, and his heart jumped, and found that they were all wearing simple armor, just like what he had seen in Dong Zhuojun's camp outside the house.

"It's Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses."

Zhang Mengsi saw this, the smoke on his nose was even stronger, so he left the two corpses, picked up his sword, and turned to the back of the small hall. Before turning the high platform where the terracotta figurines were placed, I heard people shouting: "Be careful! His mind was racing, and he stopped his steps in time, but when he heard a "plop" on the ground, a feathered arrow shot firmly into the beam and pillar only half an inch from the tip of his nose, and the shaft of the arrow trembled.

Zhang Meng swung his knife to cut off the feather arrow, and moved forward, but saw that on the back of the high platform, the fire was burning, and two people were there, one lying and the other standing. The lying man was wounded, and the standing man had a strong crossbow in his hand.

The crossbow wielder's physique is sturdy, wearing heavy armor, as powerful as a hill, and the feathers and feathers on the armor all show his status as belonging to Dong Zhuojun.

"This must be the elite officer in Dong Zhuo's army."

Zhang Meng's heartstrings tightened suddenly.

"Material Officer" is a common name for brave and powerful samurai, and the imperial court also has a corresponding military attache position. "Stretching" refers to a strong crossbow that needs to be stepped on with your feet and used to use the strength of your waist and abdomen to open. Therefore, the "Zhang Cai Officer" is not a junior in the military and cannot do it.

Since coming to this era, with the original owner's martial arts and combat experience, Zhang Meng has saved the day several times, but he has never encountered a real strong enemy, and at this moment he is suddenly nervous, and his thoughts in his previous life have surged again: "I, can I deal with him?" ”

"Be careful!"

At the same time, the man lying on the ground squirmed violently, and an oil lamp was poured down beside his head, and his face was dripping with hot oil, and the flame of the oil lamp burned the hay and firewood piled up behind the high platform, beeping.

Zhang Meng looked at the people on the ground, and as far as he could see, a few steps away, the Zhang Caiguan was stepping on the crossbow to open the strings, and this time it was like an enlightenment, which made him instantly withdraw from his hesitation: "If you don't kill him, he will kill me!" ”

Zhang Meng thought about it, how could he give the other party a chance, visually four or five steps apart, I was afraid that he would not be able to grab the hand-to-hand combat in front of him in a hurry, even if it was hand-to-hand combat, he might not be able to see it for a while, but he had a lot of dreams at night, so his mind was spinning, he decisively threw away his sword, and pushed the high platform beside him.

The high platform is made of wood and covered with red cloth, but it is hollow and has a changeable center of gravity. Zhang Meng pushed, although he failed to completely overthrow the high platform, but all kinds of terracotta figurines and bronze utensils and even incense burners and incense altars on the high platform all fell down, and the mountain hit Zhang Caiguan's body like a rock, making him scream in pain.

Zhang Meng saw the right time, flew forward, and rushed to the front, just as Zhang Caiguan's face was hit by a porcelain bottle, blood flowed all over his face, and the blood covered his sight, he threw a punch in a panic, but he missed.

"Thief pig dog!"

Zhang Meng threw a powerful punch, knocked over the kicking Zhang Caiguan on the head, and broke his hard crossbow with his foot, and the kicking Zhang Caiguan covered his face in pain and rolled to the side.

At that time, the flames in the vicinity had already begun to spread, the heat wave was scorching, the black smoke was billowing out, and the eyes and nose were choked, and the firewood and grass were lit from the oil lamp, and the man on the ground was about to be surrounded by flames.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Meng judged the situation, temporarily left the stumbling Zhang Caiguan, and pulled the man on the ground. A thick puff of black smoke rushed into his nose, almost causing him to faint on the spot, but he still relied on his willpower to stabilize his body and carry the man on the ground on his shoulder.

At this moment, the small hall has long been smoky, the fire is unstoppable, even the high platform has been ignited, and even the rafters with beams and pillars are "creaking" and can't stop ringing.

It was so dangerous, but Zhang Meng heard the shouting and scolding outside the hall, and there were still countless soldiers and horses surrounding him, and sighed in his heart: "It's unfortunate this time, I fell into the net by mistake." With the fire inside and the enemy outside, is it really difficult to fly? ”

At this critical juncture, a loud noise broke out at the door of the hall for no reason, and when Zhang Meng came back to his senses, he saw that the earth and wood were flying sideways, and the debris was splashing, and the small hall gate and the left and right walls were directly smashed by something.

"What the hell is this sacred!"

The scattered smoke and sparks rushed to his face, Zhang Meng was shocked, closed his eyes, held his breath and fell backwards uncontrollably, at this moment, but listening to a clear cow moo, a strong wind blew, in the thick dust, someone shouted: "Zhang Jun! ”

Zhang Meng couldn't see him, but he knew it was Shi Ah just by listening to the voice, and immediately responded: "I'm here!" Before he could finish speaking, his face was "crackling" by the fine gravel bouncing on the ground, and his right arm and shoulder were firmly clamped by two hands at the same time, and in a single moment, he dragged his entire body and the people on his back to it.

"Zhang Jun!"

At this time, when he opened his eyes, a few steps away, Zhang Meng saw two familiar faces, Shi A and Shan Zhong.

"Zhang Jun beware!"

It's a pity that they only looked at each other for a moment, Shi A's pupils suddenly dilated, and he roared and threw himself down with all his might.

Zhang Meng heard a loud noise in his ears again, and a strong heat wave almost suffocated him, and for a while the lime chips were like quicksand, "fluttering" filled his clothes.

Separated by a line, there is a sea of fire and hell inside, but there is a clear breeze and bright moon outside.

The screams and screams in my ears were endless, but they were getting smaller and smaller, and I seemed to be moving away.

Waiting until there was a light breeze at the base of his neck and ears, Zhang Meng slowly raised his head, and at that moment he suddenly found that he was sitting on the ox cart, the carriage of the ox cart had long been shattered, and Shi A and Shan Zhong in front of him were like terracotta figurines, covered with dust, and their faces were buried in the bottom of the carriage.

After a while, Shi Ah and Shan Zhong raised their heads one after another and straightened up. The moon and stars are scarce, and the cool breeze is blowing. The three of them sat on the ox cart, you look at me, I look at you, and finally each breathed a sigh of relief.

The ox cart passed through a small forest, and in front of it came across a small stream, and the old ox pulling the cart suddenly stopped, stood by the stream, raised his head and let out a long mournful cry, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

The three of them jumped out of the car and walked to the dead old bull, and when they saw its horns broken, its head covered with blood, and its dead appearance, they all sighed in their hearts.

Shi Ah squatted down and slowly caressed the eyes of the old cow, and sighed: "Good cow, without you tonight, the three of me can't escape." ”

Zhang Meng looked at the old cow in surprise and asked, "The one who rushed into the small hall just now, is it?" ”

Shan Zhong said: "Yes, I drove the ox cart with Brother Shi and rushed into the hall. ”

Shi Ah sneered: "What's together, it's obviously my idea, and you're so scared that you almost jumped out of the car." ”

Shan Zhong argued: "Nonsense, driving to save people is not what I proposed?" ”

Shi Ah turned to Zhang Meng and said, "Zhang Jun, we can't wait for you around the mulberry forest, but when we see the fire in the small hall, we feel bad." When I got closer, I saw a large number of people gathered outside the temple, and I felt more and more strange, and I was afraid that you would suffer, so I wanted to snatch you out! Ok, ok......"

Shan Zhong said: "There are many people on the other side, we can't beat them, we have an ox cart, and we can rush when we drive!" ”

Shi Ayana smiled and said, "Yes, drive and rush!" ”

Zhang Meng was still surprised: "It's okay to rush people, how dare you two rush directly into the small hall?" ”

Shi Ah Dao: "Zhang Jun didn't know, the ox cart ran up, the group of old leather was so scared that he didn't dare to stop it, but there were treacherous people who came up with bad ideas, waved torches to intimidate the old cow, the ox cart ran outside the hall, it was not controlled, I pulled the reins in the direction of the small hall, the old cow just lowered his head and ran hard, where to pull, I didn't expect to rush straight into the hall, but it was also crooked, just to save Zhang Jun!" ”

Zhang Meng sighed: "Time is also fate." Fortunately, this small hall is all made of wood, otherwise this old cow will crash into it solidly, and I am afraid that he will be killed on the spot. He added, "The beams and pillars of the small hall are seriously corroded, and it seems that they have been broken...... In this way, the whole temple must collapse. At the same time, I thought of the mysterious old man I met in the hall, I didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and I was secretly worried.

Shan Zhong said: "It's best to collapse, crush those old revolutions!" ”

As the three of them spoke, the body of the overturned carriage shook, but it was the man who was rescued from the temple who struggled.
