Chapter 9: The Shadow of the Bamboo Forest
A bright moon hung over the bamboo forest, sprinkling a place of moonlight and bamboo shadows. A gust of wind swept by, the bamboo sea swayed gently, and there was a rustling sound between the bamboo leaves.
At this time, Long Fan and his party were meditating and resting in the bamboo forest near the misty forest. Suddenly, a red phantom flashed over their heads. Long Fan suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp cold light shot out of his eyes, and then picked up the sword beside him and jumped to chase the figure.
After Longchen and Ling'er heard the movement, they opened their eyes in unison. Seeing that Long Fan was no longer there, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then got up and chased after each other.
The speed of dragon dust is extremely fast, like chasing wind and electricity, and it distances itself from Ling'er in a while. I don't know how long it took, Ling'er's cry for help suddenly came from behind Longchen: "Brother Longchen...... Help me......"
Longchen hurriedly turned around, only to find that Ling'er was no longer behind him. Then, he had to go back the same way to find Ling'er. The evening breeze whirred past his ears, and the dragon dust couldn't help but shiver. The bamboo forest was empty under the moonlight, only shadows accompanied him. At this time, Long Chen felt extremely lonely, since he was a child, he had never felt this way, and today was the first time. He searched in the bamboo forest, I don't know how long, and finally found Ling'er in a trap.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the well floor, and Ling'er was sitting below looking up at the well in despair.
Longchen squatted on the edge of the wellhead and shouted at Ling'er below, "How are you, are you injured?" Ling'er pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Brother Longchen, my foot is really broken now." As soon as Ling'er's words fell, Long Chen was beaten from behind and fainted......
"Oh my God, his face is so delicate, it's the most handsome man I've ever seen," a woman's exclamation came from Longchen's ear. The woman's voice is delicate with a little demon, soft with a little charming, low back soft, and charming and affectionate, which makes people sigh: This voice is only in the sky, how can there be a few times in the world.
Longchen slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn, and he was lying in a ruined temple.
He rolled his eyes to take a closer look at the ruined temple, and saw that the temple was covered with strange spider webs, and directly below the temple was a huge stone Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is covered with dust, and it is impossible to identify which Buddha it is without looking closely. The offering table in front of the Buddha statue was a mess, there was no tribute, and it should have been abandoned by the believers for many years.
Longchen was lying in front of the offering table, and beside him sat a woman in red. The woman has willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, pink cheeks and beautiful lips, and looks very charming and charming. She wore a high, curved bun with butterfly-shaped rubies on top of her head.
This woman's name is Wu Mei'er, and she is the daughter of Long Yu and Wu Xiao.
Wu Mei'er held her cheek with her left hand, and her thin cloud sleeves like cicada wings were stacked together, revealing a snow-white and slender jade arm. She stared at Longchen with charm and affection, and the fingertips of her right hand gently slid over Longchen's face.
Dragon dust suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly turned his face and dodged away like a frightened pet. Seeing that Longchen had woken up, Wu Mei'er lowered her head and whispered softly to his left ear: "Little brother, you're awake!" ”
At this time, the man in black standing behind Wu Mei'er was so anxious that he urged Wu Mei'er: "Young master, stop making trouble, let's take him back to the errand quickly!" ”
The man in black is named Wang Qi, and he is the second son of Wang Yi, the sixth disciple of Long Xiaotian. He has thief-eyed eyes, a large nose and thin lips, and a large scar on the left side of his cheek.
Wu Mei'er glared at Wang Qi, pointed to Ling'er who was tied to the pillar opposite, and said angrily: "Wang Qi, what are you urging, if you are in a hurry to ask my father for credit, take that girl back to hand over the errand,"
Wang Qi pinched his waist with both hands and humbly explained to Wu Mei'er: "My eldest lady, the target of the valley master is not this girl, but this kid and that Long Fan just now!" ”
At this time, Ling'er looked sideways and threatened Wang Qi and Wu Mei'er: "You guys quickly let me and Brother Longchen go, Brother Longchen's grandfather Long Fan is very skilled, if he finds here, you will all have to go to hell." ”
Wu Mei'er stared at Ling'er opposite with cold eyebrows, and sneered: "Little sister, your little mouth is really powerful, Wang Qi, step forward and slap your mouth for me!" ”
Wang Qi walked to Ling'er's side, rolled up his sleeves and slapped ...... a few times.
Wu Mei'er looked at the dragon dust with a lonely face, and sighed and said, "Alas...... Okay, let's go back to Lock Dragon Valley......"
Wang Qi beckoned to his subordinates behind him. Several strong men hurriedly stepped forward to lift up the dragon dust that was bundled like zongzi, and then walked towards the door.
Outside the ruined temple, a carriage and a dozen tall horses were parked, and several big men carried dragon dust towards the carriage. They came to the door of the carriage, stuffed the dragon dust inside, and then each walked to his mount and stepped on.
Wang Qi stared at Ling'er who was struggling in front of him, and asked Wu Mei'er behind him, "What are you going to do with this girl?" Wu Mei'er frowned, glanced at Ling'er, and then said to Wang Qi: "Her leg is broken, just leave her here!" ”
After Wu Mei'er finished speaking, she walked out of the broken temple with Wang Qi. They came to the carriage at the gate, each stepped on his mount, and then led the carriage and horse in the direction of the Suolong Valley.
As soon as Wu Meier's carriage and horse left with their front feet, Long Fan's back feet found the front door of the broken temple. Long Fan stretched out his head and glanced inside the broken temple. At this time, Ling'er, who was tied to the pillar, saw him and hurriedly shouted at him: "Long Fan, I'm here, come and save me!" ”
Seeing this, Long Fan hurriedly ran to Ling'er to untie her. While untying the rope, he asked Ling'er, "Ling'er, how did you get tied up here, my grandson?" ”
Ling'er said emotionally: "After you left, we were conspired by a group of people, they tied us here, and they took Brother Longchen alone before you came in. ”
After listening to Ling'er's narration, Long Fan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. He then asked Ling'er, "In which direction did the gang take Chen'er?" ”
Ling'er scratched her head and recalled the conversation between Wu Mei'er and Wang Qigang, and stammered: "It seems to be ...... They said they were going to take Brother Longchen to ...... Go...... Go to a place called Lock Dragon Valley! ”
After Long Fan heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth and said to himself in his heart: "It turns out that this group of people is the minions of Wu Xiao!" Long Fan hurriedly turned around and stepped out of the temple gate, and then chased in the direction of Suolong Valley. Ling'er sat on the spot and shouted at Long Fan's back, "Long Fan...... Don't leave me......"
Wu Mei'er and her group spurred their horses to gallop at the foot of the mountains.
The dragon dust lay in the carriage tossing and turning, his face miserable. He said to himself in his heart: "It turns out that this group of people is Wu Xiao's subordinates, it seems that Wu Xiao's side is full of masters, I can't just send him to death in vain, I have to find a way to go back and discuss with my grandfather." ”
Longchen held his breath and tried to break free of the rope. But the rope was too strong for him to break free with his current strength. He tried several times, but failed.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and there was a commotion outside, and Longchen held his breath and listened to the movement outside......
A burly man in a mink coat and a robe and a horse coat stood in the middle of the mountain road with a group of minions.
This person's skin was dark and shiny, and his short black hair was tufted up, making him look fierce and mighty. He wears a copper ring on his left ear, and the whole person exudes an arrogant and domineering spirit that is difficult to hide.
He pinched his waist, walked to the front of Wu Meier's carriage and horse with a spear, and shouted: "I drove this road, I planted this tree, if you want to cross the road, leave it to buy road money!" ”
Wu Mei'er raised her eyebrows coldly, looked at the group of bandits opposite and mocked: "A group of dirt buns also want to block my Wu Mei'er's way, it's just beyond my strength!" After Wu Mei'er finished speaking, she waved her cloud sleeves, pulled out a silver long whip from her waist, and then jumped up from the horseback in a flying immortal gesture and slashed towards the top of the burly man's head. Seeing this, Wang Qi rushed forward with more than a dozen subordinates behind him.
The burly man looked at Wu Mei'er opposite with a proud and light look, and thought in his heart: "This little girl is really energetic, just take her back to be my wife!" Then, he rolled up his sleeves, waved his spear, and stabbed at Wu Mei'er.
Wu Mei'er waved her long whip, like a silver dragon soaring. The burly man hurriedly dodged sideways to avoid the fatal blow. Then, the burly man speared straight in and fired back fiercely. Wu Mei'er's delicate body reverses the bow, dodges quickly, and draws a tempting curve.
The two groups of people and horses met each other on the mountain road, and the swords and swords were inseparable.
Suddenly, two large nets fell from the sky, covering Wu Mei'er and Wang Qi with precision. When Wang Qi's dozen subordinates saw that the two masters were arrested, they hurriedly threw down their weapons and fled.
At this time, a group of bandits appeared on the opposite hill. They rushed down the hill with their weapons in hand.
Two groups of bandits surrounded Wu Meier and Wang Qituan. The burly man pinched his waist, and rushed at the "thin and tall man" beside him with a spear and said excitedly: "Second brother, it's really time for you to come!" ”
The "tall and thin" also wore a mink coat with a robe and a riding jacket. He is a head taller than a burly man, but because he is relatively thin, his clothes are also dragged and unobstructed, and he lacks the domineering of a burly man. "Thin and tall" patted the burly man on the shoulder and complained: "My big brother, you won't call me when you go down the mountain!" ”
