Volume 1 The Birds Go, the People Scatter Chapter 35 A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
The reunion of the four is naturally indispensable for chatting and farting. Of these four people, only Yang Xiao and Big Hammer knew each other, but a kidnapping incident against their will, a difficult victory in the sword test conference, made the four of them gather one after another, forming a small group that is now familiar and inseparable.
Zhao Kai and Wang Qi were worried and shocked by the tragic battles that fought each other in order to break through the encirclement, and Yang Xiao and Wang Qi were surprised by the adventures of Zhao Kai and Wang Qi these days, and they were even more shocked and surprised when they learned that Zhao Kai had passed He Qingxue's Three Dreams of Creation and was taught one of the Three Treasures of the Qilin.
Zhao Kai and Wang Qi fled from Heijiao Village when the battle was raging, and they have been inquiring about the battle situation these days, but because of the distance and the fact that the imperial court intends to block information, they know very little, so they inquire.
"We and several commanders of Heijiao Village led the elite to break through, which attracted Han Jin's attention, and during that time, the soldiers on all sides except for encircling and suppressing us, the rest were still stationary. After we broke through the blockade of the Tianshan Mountains, more than 1,000 people disguised themselves and fled in all directions. Although the other party was extremely strict in inspection and lost many brothers, because they were too scattered, they often attacked each other and covered each other, so many people still managed to escape. After inquiring about the situation all the way, I heard that the imperial court had lifted the blockade of Heijiaozhai, and only sent a small group of cavalry to explore along the way. Yang Xiao said slowly.
"It seems that the village was suddenly surrounded, and it was indeed for you, the identity of the prince. And the jackdaw, we've had a few covert encounters, and he's been extremely difficult to deal with, and we're only able to get out of pursuit with a loss of troops, but I don't think he'll give up. Sledgehammer added.
"Jackdaw is an uncle who treats me very well, and he is the foundation of my martial arts, and I believe that he has no ill will towards me. Zhao Kai explained.
Yang Xiao continued: "But we have already talked about it at the time, the tentacles of the Wan Yao Sect are extremely long, and the power is unfathomable, if we give up this task, there will inevitably be others to continue to complete it. And according to what the old man who asked me about this, in fact, it is not without benefits to you, they are indeed entrusted by someone, but the most important thing is to muddy the waters of this country to take on this task, someone in the palace must be deliberately targeting you, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for you to escape at this time. ”
"I can only survive if I follow the general trend and then break out of the framework by my own strength. Is that so?" Zhao Kai smiled bitterly.
Listening to this precise opinion, everyone was speechless, it is indeed too much pressure for a small child. This kind of conversation is just to deepen some conclusions, and the sober Zhao Kai has long been deeply rooted in these conclusions, and he knows what to do.
But the four of them hadn't planned when to leave the villa, after all, if they could stay for one day, Zhao Kai would go to Dachu one day later, and the risk would be smaller.
Look at the sky clouds and clouds, night and day alternate, time is like a white horse passing through the gap, and in a blink of an eye it has reached the day of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On this day, the villa is full of festive colors, the disciples of the villa who are usually quite serious are on vacation, the energetic smiling faces are open, relatives and friends compete to occupy the restaurant to play the moon, the villa is decorated with pavilions, the pavilions and pavilions, and the villa full of rockery and water is more pleasing to the eye.
Zhao Kai finished his cultivation early today and prepared to go around the streets together after dinner.
The villa does not control where the disciples go today, but for some disciples with special status, they are still required to reunite at the drinking party held in the villa to admire the moon, and invitations will be sent to the guests who stay overnight.
He Changgong attached great importance to Zhao Kai, an outsider in the villa who made an exception to teach Jin Guang Jue, so he specially sent Mo Li to invite, but Zhao Kai and the four politely refused, saying that they were going to see this lively street scene. After all, every festival in this prosperous Yongjiu City, there will be all kinds of strange things that are not usually available, He Longbow saw that these four people came here for the first time, and they were all young guys who loved to be lively, so he didn't force it, and let them have fun.
At night, the lights are on, the sky is scattered, the full moon is in the world, it is the reunion festival, a group of inner disciples, elders and guests of the villa have gathered in a wide square, He Longbow sits on a high position alone, looking at the crowd coming and going, so happy.
However, when everyone sat down, Mo Li and He Qingxue had arrived, but He Changgong found that there was a lack of people who should not be absent in this festival, Mu Xiu.
In He Changgong's eyes, Mu Xiu's life experience is hard, because of an accident, even the master and younger brother who depend on each other have left her, so He Changgong personally accepts apprentices, and cares for him on weekdays, this Mu Xiu also respects him very much, and he is careful and capable.
"Mo Li, go and see why your junior sister Mu Xiu hasn't come yet. He beckoned to Mo Li and commanded.
"I haven't seen Senior Sister Mu Xiu recently, thinking that she was sent by her master to complete some secret mission. Mo Li opened his mouth in doubt.
Such clues can't explain anything, but his keen intuition makes Dega Longbow's calm mood a little flustered, "You take a few people to look for it, and report something in time." ”
"Yes!" Mo left the command.
He Changgong recalled the past, thinking of his junior brother who had a good relationship with him ten years ago, but now he has stepped into the demon path, and the two are incompatible, and Mu Xiu is his junior brother's disciple, because of that sudden change, everything has changed, and he can't help but sigh about the impermanence of the world and recall the mistakes of the past.
A few people walked into Mu Xiu's small courtyard, and there was a surprisingly quiet under the cover of the rustling sound of maple trees and the sound of falling leaves mopping the ground, which made several disciples of the mountain villa feel that something was wrong.
Mo left to push the closed door, but did not push it open, it should have been locked, he knocked on the door vigorously, but there was no movement, several people looked at each other, Mo Li took off the long sword, the void split, boom, the door was not the slightest damage, but showed the traces of the enchantment, everyone was shocked, knowing that things were not good, they took their swords, and slashed together, after a while, this solid and abnormal enchantment finally revealed, several people rushed into the house, and saw Mu Xiu who fell to the ground and the ancient bronze long sword that had not been seen around him.
At the same time, the bustling street market, the lively stalls shouting, the restaurants are brightly lit, the customers are full of noisy, and there are fire dragon dance teams dancing in the wide streets, and the copper drums accompany them, and they are sent to the river after swimming everywhere. This superficial Qingming prosperity has not yet shown the undercurrent surging side, and decades of stable life have made the people thank the people from the bottom of their hearts for the generous gifts of heaven and earth.
Zhao Kai and the four of them wandered around, aimlessly, and the depression of these days needed a period of relaxation.
On the banks of the Qingcao River, the breeze blows and the water waves flow. The sky lanterns of prayer are lit up, and they go away in response to the sky, which is not spectacular. On the arch bridge, the four people stopped to look into the distance, and the full moon stood in the cold river water at night, which was quite interesting.
There was occasional laughter in the conversation, and the four of them were in a happy mood. The autumn breeze is gusting, the coolness is gradually rising, the crowd is gradually dispersed, it is late at night, and the carnival should be over.
A few people walked in the direction they came, but before they could get off the bridge, they saw a man wearing a fanged mask walking in front of them, tall and tall, with occasional flashes of light on his exposed arms, and if you looked closely, they were all horrible ghost tattoos.
Feeling the undisguised violent aura of the person opposite, the four of them stagnated, silently operating their magical powers, and the hammer and famous sword on their backs trembled, and they confronted each other inexplicably.
Wang Tongsheng sneered, "Hand over this child, and I will let you pass." ”
Hearing this, several people no longer covered their breath, and their weapons were used, protecting Zhao Kai behind them, and the momentum of the three of them was superimposed, pointing to one person in front of them, which made Wang Tongsheng also amazed.
"I didn't expect a few of you juniors to have such extraordinary skills, but so what?" The words fell lightly, but the boulder was pressed down on the hearts of the four people, and the four of them glanced at each other, knowing that they had encountered a hard stubble.
"I don't know what grievances my predecessors have with this kid, and they set up such a big battle. Wang Qi looked at the entire arch bridge, the dim river scenery around him remained unchanged, but he felt the stagnation of the air, and a pair of ghostly eyes hidden in the dark, it seemed that the enchantment had already been laid, just waiting for a few people to take the bait.
Wang Tongsheng was silent, his figure stretched out, erratic, the ghost tattoo kept shining, the strange black gas spread from his body, and a series of ghost shadows appeared on the empty bridge just now, and at the same time, there was a strange sound, and the ghost whispered again and again.
Zhao Kai looked at it, a group of ghosts and ghosts had different body shapes, and countless forest ghosts bloomed in the middle of the night, the scene was terrifying, and it was indeed a hundred ghosts walking at night.
Thor Hammer took the lead in wielding and sweeping the surroundings, and the lightning on it was swirling, illuminating the terrifying faces of the surrounding ghosts, Lei Ben is the attribute of purifying all things, and it is the most effective for this kind of ghosts, but the power of this blow is not as great as imagined, but it only makes the surrounding black shadows shallow for a moment, and then I saw Wang Tongsheng emit black gas again to supply the ghosts.
There are the hanged ghosts who are holding ropes and can't be guarded, there are the knife ghosts who are wrapped in poisonous obstacles and hurt others and themselves, and there are also the evil soul-arresting ghosts, there are too many numbers and types, and now they are all fiercely exposed under the continuous supply of black qi from Wang Tongsheng.
"Powerful ghost upper body, ghost master!" Wang Qi was born in Taoism, and he is very familiar with this kind of ghost way, this person is obviously a master of ghost control, and obviously the means are more than this, it is extremely difficult to deal with.
Yang Xiao and Wang Qi no longer waited and watched, preemptively, each wielding a sword move to sweep away the surrounding ghosts, the three of them worked hard to create a safe area, Zhao Kai held the dragon sword in his hand, and a golden light faintly appeared on his body, and he was protected in the center.
Wang Tongchang unsheathed the knife, the fingers of his right hand slowly clenched the blade one by one, his muscles skyrocketed, and the ghost tattoo was shining with a ghostly light, slowly observing the battle situation, looking for flaws, and ready to join the battlefield at any time.
