Chapter Twenty-Three: The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the road is difficult

In the cold wind of the dark night, at the foot of the camel mountain, the wangzi in front of the "Yuelai Hotel" couldn't help but tremble and make the sound of hunting.

Xiao Er, who had just closed the door, was about to go to bed to rest, when he heard a knock on the door, and muttered impatiently: "It's late at night, eat!"

While rubbing his eyes, yawning, carrying the lamp, he slowly passed and opened the door.

A cold wind hit the face, and in the flickering lights, a man in a cloak walked in.

"Boom——! closed. Xiao Er pushed the man, as if he was pushing against a wall, and he staggered back two steps.

Glancing at the man in astonishment, he walked to the table in the room and sat down.

"Little second brother, I'm really hungry, I've traveled a long way, I want you to be tolerant for a while, and I'll bring up some wine and food!"

Xiao Er knew that he was strong and couldn't get half of the bargain, so he had to obediently step into the back kitchen.

For half a day, a few vegetables and rice are served.

"Little Second Brother, why is there no wine and meat?!" the man frowned.

"It's already sold out, and when we run out of food, we can't afford to delay in the middle of the night. ”

Xiao Er gave the man a blank look.

The man sniffed with his nose, then took out a few taels of silver from his waist, put it on the table, and said, "Little second brother! I can smell the smell of dog meat in the back kitchen, why do you say no? ”

Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he ran back to the back kitchen happily.

After a while, the dog steak, the sauced beef, and a jar of wine were put on the table.

The man was swept away by a gust of wind, and in a moment the kung fu table was already a mess of cups and plates.

He said unsatisfactorily: "Little second brother, I'm in a hurry, so I bother you to bring another jar of wine and a dog's leg for me to enjoy on the road." ”

Then he took out some bits and pieces of silver and put them on the table.

Xiao Er saw it in a flash, pursed his lips, and turned around and entered the house.

"Shopkeeper, when are you ......?"

"Shh——!h

A whisper came from the back compartment.

The guest's eyebrows raised slightly, and he took a cup and drank the remnants of wine in one gulp.

Xiao Er came out of it for a long time, prepared all the things that the guest officer wanted, and watched him walk out of the door blankly.

In a daze, he heard the sound behind him, turned around, looked at the man who was tiptoeing out of the back compartment, with a pair of cross-eyed and hunched waists, and said, "Who is he?"

The hunchbacked man's goatee shook and trembled, gritted his teeth, and said sentence by sentence: "Zhao-Kuang-Yin! You also have today!" Then he let out a wicked laugh that was worse than crying, and he bent over and ran into the dark night.

Zhao Kuangyin got out of the hotel, was blown by the wind, the wine was surging, in the fog, he saw a black mountain in front of him, a mountain road winding up, regardless of the height, staggered, and climbed the steps.

I couldn't catch my feet, and I ran for a while, but I felt that the trees on both sides of the mountain road were getting denser and denser, and there were some crazy people in the depths, so I stopped and settled down.

Before he could stand firm, there was a loud "hulala" in the bushes, and two masked black-clothed men jumped out.

I was shocked, and the wine was made into a cold sweat.

The man with the stick in his hand shouted: "Oh——! I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to beat this passerby, and leave it to buy road money!"

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he stared at the two of them for a long time, and then looked at the towering ancient trees, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Hey——! I've never seen someone robbed and laughed. What are you laughing at?!" said the dwarf behind him dissatisfiedly.

"Strange, strange!" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help patting his head.

"What's so weird?!" said the tall man at the head.

"You really planted this tree?"

"That's right!" the two of them said together.

"So you're over 100 years old?!"

"Fart! My wife is only in her forties. "Short road.

"Then how can these hundred-year-old trees be planted by you, it's a lie!"

"Don't be verbose, who wants to listen to your nonsense! The tall man raised his stick and threatened.

"Two brothers, I really don't have anything of value on me. ”

"And what's the bulging on your chest?" said the dwarf.

Zhao Kuangyin touched his chest, "Whew, is this? This is a small altar of 'daughter red'." ”

"Bah,, I've been waiting for half a night, waiting for an alcoholic! Tall spat in annoyance and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Big brother, it's better than nothing, take two sips to warm up, I'm frozen." The short man came to him and snatched the wine from Zhao Kuangyin's arms.

"Well, there's this drink. Zhao Kuangyin simply threw the bag of dog legs tucked in his waist together.

"Count you as acquaintances!" the two cheered, sat on the ground, and ate dog meat, you and I grunted endlessly.

......

"Ah——! apprentice, my good apprentice!" A pair of cross-eyed eyes looked at the two corpses on the ground in distraction, and screamed for a burst of sorrow, "Zhao Kuangyin——! you killed my two apprentices again!"

"The joke is clearly killed by yourself, how can you rely on someone else?!"

There was a sudden thud in the night sky, which made the hunchbacked man feel a spirit.

"Who ——?!" the hunchbacked man looked around in horror, surrounded by the dense trees, where he could find half a figure.

After a long time, the voice came out faintly: "Camel third child! You have used all the methods of poisoning the wine to make the three fools! ”

The camel old man was stunned, "Zhao Kuangyin?!"

"Exactly!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on a sunny day, which shocked the camel's body and trembled.

"Then why don't you come out to kill me?!" As he spoke, his eyes were numb, and more than a dozen "life-killing flying needles" were already hanging in the palm of his hand, just waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to appear and kill him.

This is his only hope for survival, because the eldest and second of the three camel brothers whose martial arts are far above him were all killed in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, and he really didn't know whether he could leave alive today.

There was a long silence, only the wind whipped through the leaves, making a "rustling" sound.

"Zhao Kuangyin——! come out quickly, come out and kill me!" he could no longer hold back the fear of silence and howled hysterically.

"You three camel brothers have done a lot of evil, and I will not let go of any of them! Since the lair of the camel gang was destroyed by me, you fish that have slipped through the net have been hiding here for a long time, right? But the heavens are clear, good and evil are rewarded, so you have fallen into my hands today, what else do you have to say? ”

A roar exploded over his head.

He clearly knew that Zhao Kuangyin was on the tree not far in front of him, holding the hand of the "Deadly Flying Needle" tightly, and began to shake incessantly.

"Zhao Kuangyin! Are you a good person? You raped and killed Miss Ping'er, no one in the rivers and lakes knows, and no one knows. Notices are being put up everywhere in the state capitals to arrest you. You are a prisoner of the imperial court, and everyone will be punished. You have no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth. ”

As he spoke, there was a "whoosh" sound, and with a wave of his arm, more than a dozen cold lights pierced the night sky and shot towards the tree.

A black shadow fell, and the third camel screamed in surprise, swept around, and jumped closer.

At first sight, the whole person froze there.

The wind that fell to the ground was pierced by a dozen flying needles.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He knew that Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry to kill him, but was playing a game of cat and mouse.

Hearing the sound of the wind in his ears, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin jumped down from the tree, and hurriedly pulled out two judge's pens from his waist, a style of "rhinoceros looking at the moon", and rushed towards the falling black shadow.

"Jingle" is crisp, and cold stars are splashing.

The third camel was so shocked that his arms were numb, and the judge's pen almost fell off, but he had put his old life on the line, anyway, either you die or I live, and he was not afraid of a stalking.

Zhao Kuangyin danced the "Pangang Sword" in his hand, and with the rebound force of the sword and the judge's pen, his body flew in the air.

Under a sharp attack, the third camel was forced to lean against a big tree, and there was no way to retreat.

The judge's pen in his left hand hurriedly handed over to his right hand, shrank into his arms, and Yang came out.

Dozens of cold rays of light shot towards Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly danced ten thousand sword lights, only to hear a crisp sound of "clanging", and dozens of "life-killing flying needles" were knocked away.

When the camel saw it, he hurriedly exercised his true qi, kicked the tree backwards with his foot, and the judge's pen was in front, and the whole person shot towards Zhao Kuangyin like an arrow.

Zhao Kuangyin's body was just about to land, when he saw that the third camel had arrived, he hurriedly got up, turned a somersault in the air, and the third camel was passing under his feet, and he twisted his body and backhanded a sword.

There was a cracking sound, and the camel screamed, and his body hit a big tree opposite, rebounding to the ground.

"Camel No. 3, you have done a lot of evil, and the time for death has come today!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted violently, shook the sword in his hand, and stabbed at him.

At the moment when the tip of the sword was about to touch the body of the camel Laosan, there was a crisp sound of "dang", and a dart shot rapidly, knocking the sword in Zhao Kuangyin's hand away.
