The sun went down and the sky grew dark.

Xu Chong rode a white tiger, with hundreds of sword and shield soldiers, and escorted three demon criminals into a secluded bamboo forest.

At this time, several Tsing Yi soldiers who were running at the front to explore the road suddenly ran back and said: "Tell the fairy master, in the bamboo forest ahead, I found a deserted house, which is well preserved and very suitable for staying overnight." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chong's heart moved, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take us over." ”

"Yes, Immortal Lord......"

Under the guidance of those pathfinders, everyone soon found an abandoned mansion in the depths of the bamboo forest.

Xu Chong stood at the gate of the deserted mansion and did not rush in, but observed everywhere.

Discover that the area around this deserted mansion is overgrown with bamboo, which is perfect for enemies to lurk in at night.

Seeing this scene, he immediately ordered: "Go and cut down all the bamboos around, and clean up all the things that may hide the enemy, and I want no grass to grow within twenty zhang of this area!" ”

After hearing the order, immediately two hundred Tsing Yi soldiers showed their sharp waist knives, rushed into the surrounding bamboo forest, and cut down frantically.

I could only hear the sound of felling in the dark bamboo forest.

Whoa......

As the old and new bamboos fell one by one, it didn't take long for the entire deserted house to be cleaned up.

Xu Chong looked around again, and in an instant, he only felt that his vision was much wider.

"Bring them in!"

When I entered the house, I looked around and found that there were dust cobwebs everywhere, and the ground was a mess.

There were also many leaks in the roof, and the walls around it were intact and did not collapse.

The windows on the walls are already broken.

Xu Chong ordered the soldiers to clean the house, and then lit a fire, and in an instant, the house became warm and bright.

Hundreds of soldiers were guarded around the abandoned mansion, and dozens of swords and shields were also arranged at the gate.

Xu Chong and the tiger servant sat next to the fire, and the freckled woman had two accomplices, the three of them were tightly tied together, sitting on the ground, their expressions were a little painful, after all, the pipa bone was broken, and it was strange that it didn't hurt.

The three of them basically didn't speak except for a few hums along the way.

However, when he first entered this deserted mansion, Xu Chong inadvertently saw that there was a faint trace of imperceptible cunning in the eyes of the freckled woman.

"Is their owner here? Or are they secretly following us along the way? ”

Thinking of this, Xu Chong secretly kept a heart.

Under the corner of the wall beside him, there were four barrels of sticky oil, and a few bags of quicklime powder, as for food, wine, sweat medicine, and other messy things, I also bought some.

Spending the night here tonight will definitely not be peaceful, and you must take precautions in advance.

If the demon doesn't come, forget it, if he rushes to rescue his accomplices, he must let him not return.

The fire was crackling and burning, and from a distance of several meters, Xu Chong had been secretly observing the freckled woman.

Suddenly, he noticed that the woman had lowered her head slightly, her lips moving a few times, as if she was muttering something, but she did not make a sound.

"No, although these guys have broken pipa bones, they have too many strange methods, especially the freckled woman."

"One night is so long, the tigers have time to nap, I can't keep an eye on them all the time, I have to control everything, all in my own hands......"

Thinking about this, Xu Chong said in a deep voice: "A few people!" ”

In an instant, several soldiers in Tsing Yi came to him, and said respectfully: "Immortal master, please command!" ”

Xu Chong pointed to the three demon criminals who were tied together and said, "Break all their mouths." ”

After saying that, he got up and took the wine bag in his hand, poured a lot of sweat medicine into it, and then shook it vigorously, and walked directly in front of the freckled woman.

Seeing this, the freckled woman looked a little flustered.

"You...... What do you want? ”

"I want you to be honest!"

Before the words fell, her mouth had been rudely broken open by the soldiers, Xu Chong didn't say a word, and directly poured the wine mixed with sweat medicine into her mouth, choking and screaming.

Her other two accomplices were also injected with a lot of sweat medicine.

It is said that in this immortal martial world, when the sweat medicine and the liquor are neutralized together, there will be a chemical reaction, and if a person drinks it, he will soon enter a state of sleep, and he will not be able to wake up after shaking it.

Really.

The freckled woman and the two accomplices had dark red faces, and it was not long before the three of them were confused and gradually fell to the ground.

Xu Chong stepped forward to open their eyelids again, checked their pupils, and confirmed that they were really unconscious, which was reassuring.

Stun them, that's the basic operation.

Otherwise, who knows if they will make a moth on this big night?

Only by letting them sleep like dead people for one night will Xu Chong not worry about internal problems.

Looking at the three people who were sleeping, several soldiers were still holding small bamboo thorns and pricked their fingers a few times, but the three of them still didn't react at all.

It seems that the liquor with sweat medicine is really powerful.

"Untie them!"

The tiger servant was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Immortal master, it's not appropriate to let them go, right?" ”

Xu Chong smiled and said: "If his comrades can really come in without knowing it, these ropes are basically useless, and they can be cut with a knife casually." ”

After listening to this, the tiger servant felt that what the fairy master said was not unreasonable.

At this time, Xu Chong instructed the soldiers: "Apply all the sticky oil to them, remember to apply more, the thicker the better." ”

"Yes, Immortal Lord!"

Soon, the three Tsing Yi soldiers opened the four barrels of sticky oil, and then frantically smeared the freckled woman and two accomplices.

Sticky oil is a specialty of this Xianwu world, a bit like the lubricant on Earth in the previous life, but it is thicker and more oily.

Generally, ordinary people buy the sticky oil back to refine, apply it to the furniture, and dry it, so that the furniture will not become moldy and rotten, and it can prevent insects and ants from biting.

However, the unrefined sticky oil is very lubricating, and if the sticky oil falls on the ground and is accidentally stepped on, it is easy to fall and slip.

It didn't take long for the freckled woman and two strong men to be accomplices, all of whom were covered in a thick layer of sticky oil.

It's hard to clean.

Xu Chong smiled darkly: "They are as sleepy as dead people, and their bodies are covered with sticky oil, they can't be slippery, and they can't pull them up, I want to see the owner, how to get them away?" ”

There are still three and a half barrels of sticky oil left, which must not be wasted.

Thinking of this, he ordered the soldiers in Tsing Yi to sweep the ground around the three demon criminals again, and then poured all the remaining sticky oil on the ground, and scraped it evenly with bamboo chips.

He also ordered a few soldiers in Tsing Yi to bring a few bags of quicklime powder outside to prepare.

Once you've done all that, it's just a matter of being patient.

The night was dark, and there was silence outside, except for the fire burning inside the house, and the occasional sound of laughter.

With a tiger servant guarding him, Xu Chong sat by the fire and dozed off.

Before you know it, it's late at night.

At this time, the hundreds of sword and shield soldiers guarding around the abandoned mansion all disappeared because the time was up.

Xu Chong immediately came to his senses, casually threw out a handful of mung beans, conjured hundreds of sword and shield soldiers again, and continued to guard outside.

To be on the safe side, he said to the tiger servant, "Let's go out for a ......."

Then he rode the white tiger around the ruined mansion and ran around, and where he passed along the way, he quietly threw mung beans on the ground.

At least 800 were scattered, and all the open space around the abandoned house was sprinkled.

As long as you find out that something is wrong, you can directly say a mantra, and eight hundred sword and shield soldiers will appear out of thin air.

Returning to the house again, he sat down by the fire, and looked at the three men, who were lying motionless on the ground, and did not expect that they would not wake up until tomorrow morning.

Estimated the time, at least until one or two o'clock in the morning.

After waiting for so long, there was no abnormality outside, which made Xu Chong a little depressed.

"Am I being too worried?"

suddenly

At this moment, a thick fog appeared in the bamboo forest.

The fog was very large, faint, and it was drifting towards the abandoned house.

It didn't take long for the entire deserted house to be shrouded in a thick fog.

Xu Chong sat in the house, and he couldn't even see the guards at the gate clearly.

As the mist continued to pour into the house along the door, Xu Chong secretly felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the tiger servant came up to him and whispered, "Their comrades are here!" ”

"Be vigilant and be careful to guard against ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a terrible scream from the fog outside.

Yes!!!

The screams were all made by the Tsing Yi sword and shield soldiers.

There was obviously no fighting outside, but the men and horses he deployed around him were successively damaged.

It seems that the demon is assassinating the guards who attacked him under the cover of the thick fog.

"I don't know if the Wind Bead can dispel this weird fog?"

Thinking of this, Xu Chong immediately took out the Dingfeng Bead from the Qiankun bag, and shouted at the same time: "The rest of the people, all let me into the house!" ”
