It's getting hotter. Officials from Meizhou www.biquge.info Wuping were already greeted by officials from Meizhou, and when they saw Xia Zheng's head and face with dark purple burn marks, they were all frightened and looked at each other, but Xia Zheng teased: "In this southern land, thieves and thieves are rampant, no wonder the Holy Lord wants to send me to take a look." But even I fell into the way. ”

The two officials accused one after another, and their hearts were uneasy. This place has always been mixed with migrants, and it has never been possible to count how many good people there are. According to the plan of the earliest Black Bamboo Society, in this last section of the road, it is to carry out a surprise attack, and everyone has seen the strange buildings in this place at this moment, but it turns out that the houses are not built in the north and south, but a circle that does not know where the door is at a glance, and the inside is divided into layers, the center is a courtyard, or similar to a patio, and there are several families around it. The circle is large, and the walls are high, which is inevitably daunting, and if you accidentally step on it, it is like stepping on a maze of traps.

"It turns out that your 'Gold Medal Wall' helm evolved from here. Jun Li said to Shen Fengming, and there was a hint of teasing in his words. "It's strange that they want to launch a surprise attack in this area, isn't this what you Heizhu does. ”

As a last resort, I can only spend the night in such a house. Everyone has already learned to be obedient along the way, and every time they go to a place, they must first check whether there is any flammable substance that has been painted, and whether the people around them are suspicious or suddenly disappear, and make sure that there is nothing unusual, before they are willing to enter.

Night--This should be the last night before arriving in Meizhou. The weather was getting better and better, and Shen Fengming and Jun Li practiced against each other in the patio, until late at night, and they lost their sleepiness. The galaxy was bright, and even the oval moon had lost its color, and it was a little deep.

Jun Li is now accustomed to all kinds of tricks in the "Yin and Yang Translocation", and most of them can easily resist without deliberately, but Shen Fengming has to find more and more strange tricks in the mental method, and spend a lot of effort to achieve its effect, so although both of them have a lot of gains, but Shen Fengming seems to be working harder and harder, Jun Li seems to be getting more and more relaxed.

"The days are still short and not skilled enough. Shen Fengming sat down and rested for a while, still sighing like this. "You've got a better chance of winning than I do. ”

"I think Zhang Gongchang's concentration is average, and you have enough of it now. Jun Li said. "You don't have to force yourself to practice it in one breath now, didn't you say that the art of illusion is the study of the source of the heart, and if you don't do it too much, you will be revolted if you are not careful. ”

"That's right. Shen Fengming said, "If I continue to practice with you, I won't be able to stand it." ”

He stood up. "It's too hot, so I'll go out and be quiet. You'd have rested early. ”

Jun Li smiled and didn't speak again.

Although the weather in the south is already hot in March, he closes his eyes and meditates quietly for a while, and it is "naturally cool". In the quiet night, only the warm breeze gently blows, soft and steady, just like Chen Rongrong's hand on his face that day.

As the night deepened, the heat finally subsided, and the starry sky became brighter and brighter, vaguely reminding him of many stargazing nights with Master Fengyun Daochang. He believed that every person corresponds to a star in the sky, whether it is bright or dark, it must have a trajectory. From the trajectories of so many stars, how many interpretations of fate did he learn, but which one was himself?

He thought bitterly, but he didn't grieve for a long time. In the eyes of the creation, bright or not, lonely or not, it is probably the same, but it is some kind of experiment. It's not that God wants to favor others over me, but it's just—it's just that we each happened to draw such a lot.

-- I am actually lucky enough that although I am born bleak, the people I meet can always shine so brightly and so brightly into my gloom.

He smiled and lay on his back in the patio. But it seemed that the heavens could not even give him this moment of smile, and as soon as he lay down, he was unprovoked, and a cold breath suddenly raised his consciousness. He didn't move, but all the slow thoughts in his mind were gone, replaced by alertness.

The lingering killing intent finally came, and on this last night, the ghosts gathered unabated. Their movements are so light and light. If it weren't for the fact that I had just lay down and pressed my whole body to the ground, I wouldn't have felt it.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, the sound was so light and light that there were probably seven or eight people, it should be the strongest martial arts in the group of people in the Black Bamboo Society, Zhang Gongchang and Xie Fengde didn't know if they were among them. The voices of these seven or eight people will be pasted against the strange round façade of the building, and it will disappear. The people in the Black Bamboo Society, the ability to conceal their existence is extremely high, only in the middle of the road inevitably show a slight sound, once quiet, almost completely without a trace, if it is not for the party to hear them approaching, I am afraid that it is difficult to know that someone has been ambushed.

But the outer earthen walls are high, and the doors are closed, I wonder what they are going to do?

He sat up from the floor and looked back at Xia Zheng's room where the lights had been turned off. He didn't dare to think that one person could carry everything on his shoulders, so he got up and waited to warn him first.

Xia Zheng was also sleeping lightly when he wanted to, Jun Li's hand had just touched the door, and he had heard Xia Zheng inside shouting: "Who!"

"It's me. Jun Li also said in a low voice, "Lord Xia, there is a bit of a situation. ”

The door creaked open, and Xia Zheng appeared. "Daoist Jun Li, what do you say?"

Jun Li informed Fang Cai of what he had realized, and said, "Although there are not many of them, don't take them lightly. Do you want to get everyone up?"

Xia Zheng groaned. "I'll arrange it. ”

Jun Li nodded: "They didn't move for a long time, I don't know what they were waiting for." I followed Lord Xia to prevent any changes. ”

Xia Zhengfang snorted, and suddenly frowned. "Did you hear anything?"

Jun Li was stunned, and almost at the same time, he already knew what Xia Zheng's voice was.

It was a sound that could be heard without any force—it seemed like there were a lot of horses coming in the distance, and the noise was getting louder and louder, and the shouts of people, the neighing of horses, the sound of footsteps, the sound of running hooves—what was the matter? Why was there so much noise in this night?

The neighborhood is deserted, and only this round earthen house can be borrowed from my side. Sure enough, the crowd of horses came straight to this side, and when they got closer, the sound was boiling, as if the night had been lit up at once.

The night was literally lit up by torches. Even the starry sky had lost its color, and although the walls of the round earthen house were high, the light of the fire outside had already been reflected. There was no need for Xia Zhengjun Li to call hard, everyone was shocked and woke up, and the two officials and the guests who borrowed this place also poked their heads out of the window without exception, wondering what kind of sound was disturbing people's dreams.

A local man ran out of the opposite house in a panic, and it was the head of the house who was staying overnight, shouting something in the local dialect, but in a hurry, everyone couldn't understand it.

"What did he say?" Chen Rongrong had also come out of the house, frowning slightly, and asked Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng didn't answer, and he didn't understand, only Jun Li said on the side: "He seems to be saying that the mountain bandits are coming." ”

Xia Zheng looked at him with some surprise, but he immediately understood that Jun Li had been walking around away from home since he was a child, and he didn't know if he had been here earlier, and he had dealt with all kinds of people from the three sects and nine streams, so he was afraid that he could understand those strange dialects better than them.

The local man stood opposite and jumped to his feet, looking at Xia Zheng and the others with a vicious face, and screaming in his mouth. Xia Zheng and the others looked at Jun Li again, and Jun Li had no choice but to say: "He said, it's all our fault, we are well-dressed, and we must have been targeted by people when we came and caused trouble for them." ”

Sure enough, the shouts outside were already surging like waves, and the only door had been slammed. Someone outside shouted in local dialect and blunt official dialect, which roughly means that the old rule, if you want money, you don't want to die, as long as 200 gold, if you open the door and send it obediently, it will not hurt people, otherwise you will blame them for the killer.

Several locals and other residents were all earthy, and Xia Zheng also stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please go back to the house and rest, and leave this matter to me to solve." ”

The two officials were also afraid, and only said, "It's all up to Lord Xia." And he hid himself in the house. Xia Zheng had already glanced at his own people around him, and asked suspiciously, "What about Shen Fengming?"

"He just went out. Jun Li replied to him.

"At such times, a person does not know where to run. "Some people can't help but complain. Xia Zheng also wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "Everyone pay attention, I'm afraid it's not purely a mountain bandit robbing at night, there are already people from the Black Bamboo Society in ambush outside the wall, if you start to move for a while, don't get close to the door and the wall, be careful that someone takes advantage of the chaos to sneak attack." ”

Although the earthen house was round like a fortress, it was not a fortress at all, and the door was struck for a while, and it was already loose, and a knife stretched through the gap, and the wooden latch was snapped up, and the light of the torches swarmed in, and then there were nearly a hundred bandits, more than twice the total number of guests here.

As soon as the man who had just raised the latch saw this group of people, his eyes seemed to light up, and he turned his knife behind his back and said something to a man who looked like a leader beside him. Jun Li heard it in his ears, and what he said was, "It's really a fat sheep!"

This sentence always made him feel a little strange, and the tone, as if they didn't know their details, and most of them were not as the shopkeeper opposite said that they saw such a team of "fat sheep" passing by, so they decided to rob.

He thought of the Black Bamboo Club in ambush outside the door. -- If someone instructed them to do this, then it would probably be the Black Bamboo Society, right? In this barren land of mountains and mountains, even mountain bandits can buy it for their own use-- Xia Zheng is right, if they really make a move, so many people will be in chaos, and the people of the Black Bamboo Society will make a move in secret, it will be extremely easy to get the way-even if they are alert at first, it is difficult to say whether they can still listen to all directions in the hand.

A man who could speak official words had already stepped forward and shouted: "Our boss said, hand over two hundred gold, and we will retreat, so as not to embarrass you!"

But the "boss" coughed and said something. The shouter immediately coughed and said, "No, I want 500 gold!

"How can this be reasonable!" someone said angrily: "Just because you are just a mountain bandit, grandpa came here to cure you mountain bandits, and he dares to bully me!"

Although Xia Zheng raised his hand to stop him, he also sneered and wanted to make a move. Although he was good-tempered, he was never so good that he was willing to give the bandit 500 gold. Unexpectedly, Jun Li recognized his movements, but reached out and pulled his sleeve. "Lord Xia!"

Xia Zheng was surprised. "How?"

"Give them five hundred gold, let them go. ”

"What!" It was not only Xia Zheng who spoke, but several people. Five hundred gold is not a small amount, who is willing to swallow this breath?

"Don't take any chances. Jun Li only said in a low voice. "Don't give Heizhu a chance, after tonight, after taking office in Meizhou, you can do whatever you want to do with this group of mountain bandits, but at this moment, you know that this group of people is used to obstruct your eyes, and you know that the shadows are full of murderous opportunities, how can you still take such a risk - once you hand it over, anyone who accidentally reveals the slightest flaw will be life-threatening!"
