Chapter 345: Against the Enemy in the Fire
The flickering light outside the window was not a lantern at all, but a fire was burning in the distance on the other side of the lake, and even on this side of the lake, you could clearly see the flames soaring into the sky.
You must know that this Zhiqiu Lake is not small, and the fire on the other side of the lake can shine on this side, and it seems that the woods at the foot of the opposite mountain are also on fire.
What shocked Shao Xi in his heart was that the place where the fire broke out was where the Zhiqiu Pavilion was located.
Shao Xi said in his heart, it's broken!
Why is it broken? You must know that the place where the fire started is Zhiqiu Pavilion, and the houses over there are all built by the mountains and rivers, and now this posture is not only the house on fire, but even the woods at the foot of the mountain are on fire, what does this mean? It means that no one is putting out the fire! Why didn't anyone put out the fire? There must be something stopping the people in the Zhiqiu Pavilion from fighting the fire, what could be that could make them unable to even save such a big fire?
The first thing that came to Shao Xi's mind was that Ruan Haoyang's people who had been hiding for so many years had found them, and the fire was so weird in the middle of the night, it made Shao Xi suddenly think of Fengjiazhuang, how similar is this scene?
Shao Xi didn't think much about it, turned around and went out to smash the door of Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er's room.
The two were awakened by Shao Xi's hurried slamming of the door, and after opening the door, Lao Wu did not scold as usual, because Shao Xi had never smashed his door like today on weekdays, and he knew that something very urgent must have happened.
While putting on his robe, he asked, "What happened when you knocked on the door so quickly?" ”
Shao Xi didn't have time to explain too much, just raised his hand and pointed out the window.
Lao Wu looked back, and immediately understood what Shao Xi was referring to, and hurriedly called out to Wuqiu'er, and the three of them jumped directly from the window to the street outside, and ran all the way to the lake.
After a while, several people came to the shore of Zhiqiu Lake, it was already midnight, and the canopy boats parked by the lake had also turned off their lights, and the boatmen and boatgirls of the ferry family were sleeping soundly on the boats.
Shao Xi couldn't care so much, so he picked a boat and jumped on it, and the father and daughter of the ferry family who were sleeping on the boat were not only awakened, but also startled, thinking that they were gangsters.
Shao Xi didn't have time to explain more, took out a collar of silver and threw it over, raised his hand and beckoned Lao Wu and Wuqiuer to get on the boat, the father and daughter who were sleeping on the boat looked at the silver in their hands, and then looked at the three people on the boat, they were also confused, and said in their hearts, how could anyone still come to take the boat in the middle of the night?
Looking at Wuqiu'er again, the father and daughter were startled again, and the boatman hurriedly said to Shao Xi: "Three guest masters, where are you going by boat in the middle of the night?" My boat is small, and this man's figure is too heavy! If the three of you are all on the boat, plus my father and daughter, I'm afraid the boat will sink in the middle of the lake? ”
Shao Xi turned his head to look at Wu Qiu'er, then looked at the boat in front of him, and said in his heart how could he forget about this? There are a few black balls, such a small canopy boat is equivalent to squeezing a large group of people up, not to mention whether it sinks or not, and it won't be able to get up in a hurry at this time!
So Shao Xi hurriedly said to the boatman: "Your daughter and I got off the boat, and you took these two people to the Zhiqiu Pavilion on the other side of the lake, where there was a big fire!" Tell your daughter to wake up the other boaters and rush over to put out the fire. ”
After speaking, Shao Xi turned around and jumped from the boat to the shore of the lake.
The boatman was reminded by Shao Xi to get out of the canopy and turn his head to look at the other side of the lake, and he was also startled, and hurriedly called his daughter out and asked her to wake up the other boats that were resting and rush to the other shore together.
Shao Xi remembered at this time, what kind of ship were he waiting for? So after saying hello to Lao Wu, he jumped to the water, and the whole person ran quickly towards the opposite shore of the lake with his toes on the water like a dragonfly, leaving only a string of ripples behind him, as if he was hit by a stone and drifted.
The father and daughter on the ferry watched Shao Xi just step on the water all the way to the other side of the lake, and the two of them were like ghosts, their eyes widened, and they were stunned for a while.
Lao Wu patted the boatman on the shoulder, and urged: "Why are you standing here stunned?" Hurry up and send the boat! The fire on the other side is so big, we are still rushing over to save people! ”
At this time, the boatman reacted, and hurriedly asked his daughter to call other boats, while he carried Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er to the other side of the lake as fast as possible.
Shao Xi stepped on the water, all the way to the direction of Zhiqiu Pavilion, this was the first time he had stepped on the water for such a long distance since he learned "Qingping Crossing", he didn't even know if he could hold on to the other side, but at this time he couldn't care so much.
As the distance from Zhiqiu Pavilion got closer and closer, Shao Xi's heart became colder and colder, because the closer he got to know how big the fire was.
At this time, the Zhiqiu Pavilion in Shao Xi's eyes had been completely engulfed in the fire, only the Fang Pavilion where he drank with Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu during the day was still standing quietly on the surface of the lake, while the other places had been swallowed up by the sea of fire, and even the woods at the foot of the mountain were burst into huge flames.
The Jiuqu Pavilion has been cut off by fire, and no matter whether people are on the shore or in the pavilion at this time, they can no longer rescue each other.
The fire stained the cliffs on the other side of the lake red, and in the distance you could hear the trees crackling, the smoke billowing, and the occasional large expanse of ash drifting, and the lake at the foot of the mountain was illuminated by the firelight.
Shao Xi didn't have time to make more judgments, and rushed towards the prescription kiosk closest to him.
Just when he could see the square pavilion clearly, Shao Xi vaguely saw a figure flickering in the square pavilion, and from time to time there was a huge sound of the collision of vitality, it seemed that someone was fighting in the square pavilion, so he suddenly lifted his breath, and the speed under his feet increased by another point, and he hurried towards the square pavilion.
At this time, in the square pavilion of Zhiqiu Pavilion, Ruan Haoyang was protecting Ye Zhiqiu behind him.
The light blue brocade robe was already a series of tears, and there were blood stains oozing out of the holes, and he was holding a blue long sword in his hand, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, obviously there were multiple injuries on his body at this time.
At this moment, his face was grim, and his eyes were staring coldly at the few people in front of him.
Ye Zhiqiu stood behind him, with a complicated expression on his face, both scared and anxious, but more worried.
Opposite the two of them stood a group of people, led by three people, and the one who had just made a move with Ruan Haoyang was a tall man with a strong physique.
The man was about fifty years old, with a full beard, bronzed skin glittering by the light of the fire in the dark night, thick ears and a wide nose, and a pair of tiger eyes that shone with a terrifying light.
He wore a dark brown robe with a black coat and a large knife in his hand, and a gilded tiger head embedded in the back of the knife.
There are one on the left and one on the left and one on the left, and these two people are very distinctive.
On the right is a tall and thin man, with a white face like pink, narrow shoulders and a long neck, a white robe, a white high hat on his head, with the words "fortune at first sight" written on it, a white mourning stick in his hand, and a strange smile on his slender face.
The one on the left is short and fat, with a face as black as charcoal, looking like a briquette, dressed in a black robe, wearing a black high hat on his head, with the words "The World is Taiping" written on it, holding a black mourning stick in his hand, and looking very unhappy with a mourning face.
is the so-called "powerful ghosts and impermanence", these two people know at a glance that they are black and white impermanence from their appearance to their dress.
These two people are none other than the two most powerful people under Shen Buchang, the "impermanent judge" of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, or two ghosts, the "black impermanence" Tong Fang and the "white impermanence" Gao Jiang.
It seems that it is this black and white impermanence that has been sent out by the Ghost Emperor's Mansion to hunt down Ruan Haoyang over the years.
And the one between the two of them is Wan Tong, the master of the Ten Thousand Daomen Gate, whether it is the affairs of the Feng family or the Ruan family over the years, he has arranged for people to do it, and for the Feng and Ruan families, he is the enemy who does not share the sky.
"Ruan Haoyang, you killed You Yi'an has nothing to do with us, it is a grudge between you, but it is better to hand over the things on your body obediently, and quietly run here to hide for four years, do you really think that you can hide like this forever? It may not have been so easy for us to get you at the beginning, but now that you have a woman by your side, you don't want her to be hurt because of you, do you? I've always been a clear person, as long as you're willing to hand over your things, I can let you live, just as if I've never seen you. ”
At this time, Ruan Hao's teeth were about to be crushed, and the person in front of him was simply shameless.
At the beginning, the Ruan family, the general of the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, was killed, and if he hadn't escaped from home with some martial arts, I am afraid that he would have been a corpse ten years ago, so what did he say about letting himself go at this time? It's just.
Even if they handed over the drawings on their bodies to him at this time, they would never let go of themselves and Ye Zhiqiu, and the word reputation was simply worthless to them.
Originally, that Wan Tong was not difficult to deal with, but the worst thing was that there were two black and white impermanence by his side, these two people were too difficult, although compared to himself they were only in the late stage of the sixth grade, and he was not afraid of any of them alone, but now the three of them joined forces to besiege him, and he protected Ye Zhiqiu behind him, who was already tired of dealing with it but was tied, plus he had many injuries on his body just now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out today.
Seeing that all the retreat routes have long been blocked by the other party, it seems that he can only fight to the death today.
"Heh...... I'm not the kid I was back then, let you coax at will, and say that you won't let us go today, even if you are willing to let us go, I won't let you go, I haven't asked you for a reckoning with the Ruan family's big feud. Since you have to fight today, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, you can't imagine that kind of thing, today you are destined to have someone to stay here, do it! ”
Hearing Ruan Haoyang's words, Wan Tong's face was unusually ugly, he didn't do any of the major things arranged by his master back then, and now he finally found Ruan Haoyang, how could he let it go easily?
"Do it!"
