Chapter Twenty-Three: A Hundred Ghosts Walk by Day
Xiaolin Town is in the northeast of Fenglin City, and there is also a Qingshan Town between it and Fenglin City. In terms of straight-line distance, it is the farthest town in the Maple Grove City from the main city.
Under the leadership of Wei Yan, the group did not stop, passed Qingshan Town without staying, and rushed to the outside of Xiaolin Town in only half a day.
There is no Qingshan outside Qingshan Town, and this place name has been handed down many years ago, or there has been, and then the vicissitudes of life.
However, there is indeed a moon cypress forest outside Xiaolin Town, but the scale is very small, and you can see the end at a glance. The moon cypress has the purpose of calming the nerves, and the furniture made of the moon cypress wood is very popular.
It is said that the scale of this forest was very large, but because of the high value of the cypress trees, many of the townspeople illegally logged, and Berlin became smaller and smaller this month. If it weren't for the special order from Fenglin City to prohibit illegal logging, I am afraid that this small forest would have died out a few years ago.
The catchers transferred from Qingshan Town were stationed in the forest, sitting or lying, quite scattered. I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then gathered together to greet them.
These arrests are just ordinary force, of course, they dare not enter the town to investigate in this situation, and only play an observation and warning role.
Wei Yan was stationed outside Ma Yulin, glanced at these people casually, and asked, "How is the situation in Xiaolin Town?"
The head catcher led by Qingshan Town was a broad-faced man in his forties, who replied: "Since five days ago, there has been fog outside Xiaolin Town. At the time, we didn't pay much attention to it, we just thought it was the weather. At that time, you can still see the outline of Xiaolin Town, as well as the faint figure, and there are still people in Qingshan Town who go to visit relatives. Since yesterday we have been ordered to come here to set up a card to observe, but we have not seen anyone come out, but the fog is getting heavier and heavier, and now we can't see anything clearly. ”
Jiang Wang looked forward to Xiaolin Town among the disciples of the Daoist Academy, Fenglin City was the hometown where he was born and raised, although he grew up in Fengxi Town, he was no stranger to Xiaolin Town.
The bandits in the West Mountain, whom he had defeated with a single sword, were entrenched in the West Mountain, ten miles north of Xiaolin Town.
In the past, you can see the town of Kobayashi from the moon Berlin, the town is not rich, but it is peaceful and peaceful. Now there is only a fog as far as the eye can see.
At this time, Wei Yan's voice sounded: "I ordered you to observe Xiaolin Town here, but you are careless. What's more, they took the opportunity to steal and cut down the moon cypress trees. Are you here for business, or are you here for personal gain?"
The crowd in Qingshan Town was already pale, and the head catcher was even more eager to explain something.
But Wei Yan's disposal has already been exported: "The moon cypress trees that have been cut down are sent to the city guard camp. In addition, everyone will be deducted for one year, and the head catcher has the responsibility of leadership, and he will be dismissed!"
The broad-faced man's face was as dead as ashes, but he didn't even dare to protest, so he only retreated.
Hearing Wei Yan's disposition, Jiang Wang noticed the few moon cypress trees that had been cut down.
And Wei Yan had already taken everything in for the first time he arrived.
Jiang Wang sighed at Wei Yan's sensitivity on the one hand, and felt that this person was really strict.
The town of Kobayashi fell, and Berlin was temporarily left without an owner for the time being. These are just catching fast and risking their lives to set up a card outside Xiaolin Town to observe, and cut down a few trees to go back to subsidize themselves, although it is a dereliction of duty, but it is actually an understandable thing.
Qingshan Town is not wealthy, and a one-year fine means that these quick catchers will suddenly become poor. Especially for this middle-aged man in his forties, head-catching may have been the culmination of his life's struggle. And with Wei Yan's words, he returned to the original point.
However, this trip was almost like a march, and Wei Yan led the team, just like a commander. His orders are military orders, and no one can disobey them.
After Wei Yan finished disposing of it, as soon as he pulled the reins, he took the lead and galloped in the direction of Xiaolin Town.
The horses are all war horses in the barracks, and the knights are all monks of the Taoist Academy, although there are only more than 30 people, but the orders are forbidden, and the movement is like lightning, and there is the momentum of thousands of troops and horses.
The horse's hooves swept the ground like thunder, but it came to an abrupt end!
Those battle-hardened horses raised their hooves and neighed in front of the fog that enveloped the entire town of Xiaolin, and no matter how much the knight urged, they refused to go further.
More than thirty horses were frightened and neighed in unison. It was as if there was something in Kobayashi that terrified them. This scene is terrifying.
Even if because of the strength of the knights, there was no joke about falling off the horse before the battle, but the morale had plummeted, and the spirit of the first time he left the city was gone.
Even Wang Changxiang, who has always been calm and diluted, his eyes have become solemn.
Only Wei Yan's face did not change.
The armor on his body is mottled. The saber at the waist is long and narrow. The war horse under the crotch, tall and majestic.
As everyone knows, this Wei Yan loves three things.
But suddenly he drew his sword!
It was as if a lightning flashed out of thin air, and the sword light was hidden. And the horse under his crotch, the neighing stopped, and the huge horse's head fell from his body, and was spurted out by the column of blood gushing out of his neck for a distance.
The horse's corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
Wei Yan pressed the knife and looked at the town in the mist, but his voice was cold: "What is the use of leaving you for cowardice?"
"Okay!" was the first to respond, but Du Yehu was the first to respond, he was fierce by nature, he liked to go straight, and immediately smashed down with a punch, smashing the horse's head. "The surname is Wei, how are we going to rush next?"
Wei Yan's right hand was slightly erected, "Listen to my orders, dismount and prepare for battle, form a sharp formation, use me as an arrow, and go straight to Xiaolin Town!"
Wei Yan's killing of horses has made everyone realize that there is no way to retreat. At this time, there was no room for hesitation, and they all dismounted.
Wei Yan said again: "Raise troops!"
Brush and swipe with a sharp blade out of the sheath!
At this time, Wei Yan's ordinary-looking adjutant stood up, his right palm was held up, his left hand pinched the trick, and there were words in his mouth, and finally said: "Fengrui!"
Jiang Wang only felt that the long sword in his hand was sharp, this long sword could only be said to be a sophisticated long sword, and at this time, there was almost an illusion that nothing could be broken.
"Flames!"
The monks raised their swords like torches, to shine through the misty town in front of them.
"Solid!"
Ling He felt his body harden, and he felt a sense of fullness that he wanted to fight with his fists. But he just glanced at Du Yehu, who was angry next to him, and quietly erased this illusion.
What Zhao Rucheng thought was that the group gain Dao technique was at least a C-grade top-grade Dao technique. And Wei Yan, the adjutant who is not good-looking, actually sent three times in a row without changing his color, and the military department really hid the dragon and crouching tiger.
No matter what everyone thinks, there can only be one will when marching. With the blessing of Taoism, Wei Yan took the lead in stepping into Xiaolin Town.
Everyone walked and watched, and the town was so silent that only the sound of their footsteps was heard.
After a while, the fog seemed to get thicker and thicker.
The fog was so thick that it was almost as thick as substance, and it was impossible to see the figure three steps away, only the light of the fire on the weapon, standing stubbornly in the dense fog that seemed to be endless.
The array had to be contracted again, and the spacing between the people changed from five steps to three. Getting closer will affect the battle.
Jiang Wang's brothers are in the middle of the team, they have the lowest realm, and they have been protected by default, which is not to be avoided, and it is also a fine tradition of the Taoist Academy.
Du Yehu clenched his fists loudly, he was not nervous, but excited and eager to try.
Jiang Wang had no doubt that even if the nine great demons who were now famous all over the world were in front of him, he dared to fight without saying a word. Of course, whether you can beat it or not is two words.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the periphery of the formation, "What is that?!"
Another voice complained, "It's just a ghost, what's there to be afraid of?"
But soon the shock changes: "So much?!"
Hearing the sound, Wei Yan suddenly turned his head and slashed horizontally!
A huge sword shot out of the air, slashing through the thick fog around it in an instant!
And at this moment, everyone had already seen the dense geysers stumbling and dancing on the entire street!
The blue sky is white, and a hundred ghosts are walking by day!
