Volume 1 The Worldly Rivers and Lakes Chapter 56 Road Encounters and Kills
Li Qingxuan coincidentally comprehended the magical spells of 'shrinking the ground into inches' and 'palm thunder' in the Ascending Diagram of the Immortals, which made his martial arts even more unfathomable, and his body shape could be called unfathomable. With his current martial arts, even if more than a dozen martial arts masters besieged him together, he could retreat unharmed.
The Great Masters of Martial Arts are those who have reached the top of the Mortal Martial Arts, and it is rare to see them in the first place, so how can they easily meet more than ten Great Masters of Martial Dao? After all, this is a worldly place, not a blessed land. "Lang Jun woke up?" The one who lifted the curtain was a tall man in his thirties, with a somewhat sallow face, wearing a narrow sword, and his dress and aura were quite similar to Wang Yuan.
When Li Qingxuan saw this, he knew that this person, like Wang Yuan, was the commander of the guards of a certain dignitary, and he had already cultivated his internal strength, and he was also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes. However, this person only has two inches of internal strength, which is slightly inferior to Wang Yuan.
The man looked at Li Qingxuan, his face was full of apologies, and he said in a low voice: "My brother was too reckless when he rode his horse, and he didn't pay attention to the front, which caused Lang Jun to be injured, and I am really sorry. Fortunately, Lang Junji people have their own natural appearance, but they passed out in a coma and were not injured, which is really blessed by the ancestors. He had already explored before, this white-faced scholar was not very old, it seemed that he had never practiced martial arts, and his muscles and bones could not see any traces of polishing and tempering, and he looked a little like a weak scholar.
It is said that such an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, after a fierce horse gallops into him, will inevitably break his bones and tendons, and even die on the spot. This scholar was fine, but the fierce horse died violently on the spot, but this weak scholar who had never polished his muscles and bones was not injured, which is really a strange thing. And this scholar is only in a coma, shouldn't he be a legendary immortal figure?
It is almost impossible to figure out about this matter, and it can only be attributed to a miracle. Most of the subjects in the Tang Dynasty believe in Taoism, and he is naturally a believer in Taoism, so he naturally has to say that he is blessed by the Taoist ancestors. Li Qingxuan just smiled and said, "If you don't die, it's really the blessing of the Dao Ancestor." And you are also kind-hearted, and instead of throwing me on the side of the road to die, you saved me, but thank you very much. ”
But anyone with some status will not take ordinary people in their eyes, as the so-called human life is like a mustard. It is not uncommon to ride horses like this and injure passers-by, most of them are dragged to the side of the road and left to fend for themselves, while the nobles who hurt people on horseback have all gone away, and there is no reason to talk about it. There are also some extremely vicious, if they hurt people while riding a horse, they will ride the horse back and forth, until they trample their lives to death, and they will not stop.
Hearing this, the man said seriously: "We are not vicious people, but if we hurt Lang Jun, if we still throw you away, how can our conscience be happy? What's more, my young lady strictly ordered that you must be saved and not harm people's lives." ”
Li Qingxuan was already smart and agile, but when he heard this, he saw that the man's face was wrong, and he secretly said in his heart: "I'm afraid that after these guys injured me, they all wanted to drag me to the side of the road and leave me to fend for myself." If it weren't for the kindness of his young lady, they wouldn't have saved me. "Speaking of which, I should be thankful for the kind-hearted young lady of his family. ”
"But thank you for it, they are the ones who knocked me down, it's good not to ask them to pay some silver taels. Thinking like this, he smiled at the man and said, "This lord, who has just woken up from a coma, is still a little sluggish, and wants to rest. Stay and rest for a while, and then talk to the adults in detail, thank you. The man was not annoyed, but said with a smile, "My surname is Fan, and you can call me Commander Fan." ”
The man retreated. At this time, the convoy was resting. Li Qingxuan closed his eyes slightly, but he was not closing his eyes to recuperate, but listening to the man's footsteps. Commander Fan had only walked out for a few feet, and then he had stopped, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the scholar has woken up, I have taken a look, there should be no big problem." But this radius of more than ten miles is sparsely populated, and the scholar's appearance here is indeed suspicious, and it is difficult to believe it. Also, because we knocked him down, he was a little displeased and drove me out. ”
There was a little silence over there, and then a quiet female voice said: "It was we who were wrong first, and we injured him, but fortunately it was not a big problem, and he should be angry." Since there were few people nearby, I took him with me, settled down in the city, and made up for it a little. ”
After being expelled by Li Qingxuan, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "Miss, I see that although this scholar was hit, except for being unconscious, he was not injured, neither external nor internal, but a good horse died on our side." In fact, Li Qingxuan's guess was right, after he was knocked down, everyone wanted to carry him to the side of the road and leave him to fend for himself.
Especially the guard who drove the good horse was even more ruthless, and wanted to use a knife to cut off the unconscious Li Qingxuan's life and give him the good horse to be buried. But the young lady was kind-hearted and kept Li Qingxuan, but now she wants to compensate him. The thirty-year-old Fan Commander was born in martial arts, has been killed for a long time, and has cultivated internal strength, his hands are stained with a lot of blood, and his heart is also ruthless, so he really disagrees with the matter of compensation.
Not far away, the guard who drove the horse to knock down Li Qingxuan was even more angry, and said secretly: "If you threw this scholar on the side of the road at the beginning, you still need to pay compensation? If you kill it, it will be done once and for all." What a waste of money is being wasted now? Li Qingxuan listened for a moment before opening his eyes. Judging from the footsteps, the convoy was about forty people, but it was difficult to determine how many there were.
After all, although Li Qingxuan's ears are keen, since he cultivated his true qi, the time is still short, and it is difficult to accurately determine the number of people by sound. In addition to the previous Fan Commander who was a first-class master, there were four people whose footsteps were extremely steady, and they were extremely far apart, and Li Qingxuan could also hear the heartbeat of these three people, as well as the sound of blood flowing. It is conceivable that these four physiques should be extremely majestic, and most of them are second-rate masters who have cultivated to carry qi and blood.
In addition, next to that quiet voice, there was a long breath, but the owner of this breath, the sound of blood flow and heart beating, was lower than ordinary people. Generally speaking, such characters are either old and decrepit, and their blood and qi are decayed, or they are a master of the rivers and lakes who has cultivated deeply, and can control their own blood and qi and condense them without dispersing. Listening from the breath, Li Qingxuan is more inclined to the latter.
"Although I can hear it clearly, I haven't seen it with my own eyes after all, and some can't determine whether this breathing master is a first-class peak master or a great master of the Grandmaster Realm. Li Qingxuan's heart moved slightly, and he said secretly: "Such a team, more than forty people, most of them are martial arts practitioners, four second-rate masters, one first-class master, and next to that young lady, there is also a mysterious master who is difficult to determine the cultivation of martial arts. ”
"Who are these?" Li Qingxuan had some doubts in his heart, and suddenly, a faint breath came from afar. The smell was tasteless, slightly cold, and quite pungent. Li Qingxuan, who was experienced in the rivers and lakes, was taken aback, and then calmed down. The wooden planks on the side of the carriage suddenly collapsed, and a crossbow arrow the thickness of an arm pierced through the carriage and stabbed at Li Qingxuan.
Li Qingxuan's right palm carried his true qi and slapped it on the crossbow arrow, causing the crossbow arrow to deviate a little, rubbing his body and stabbing at the wooden board on the other side of the carriage, and in an instant, there was a bang, and the wooden board on the other side of the carriage suddenly shattered. Everyone saw that the carriage in which the scholar was riding was pierced by a crossbow arrow, and there was a big hole, and the scholar did not move, not knowing life and death, and the convoy suddenly panicked.
"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass by here, and leave to buy road money!" A sentence that made ordinary people tremble sounded, very rough. Accompanied by this sentence, there was a rain of arrows. With just one round of arrows, the convoy of forty-two people had already fallen, and eighteen or nineteen had fallen. "Kill!" a group of black-scarfed, masked, sword-wielding bandits rushed out from the side of the road and slashed in all directions. Blood was everywhere.
Commander Fan in the convoy was stunned, and after killing one person with a knife, he shouted: "Bold bandits, dare to come and hijack the convoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I really don't want to live! Brothers, kill them with me!" The two knives are exchanged and there is no difference between victory and defeat. Commander Fan's face changed, and he exclaimed, "First-class master?"
The man in black was silent, and a move 'straight to the point' was split according to him, and Commander Fan saw this and parried with a move 'Cloud Lock Hengjiang', and the two of them met each other in chess, and they would meet good talents, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while. "Who are these people?" The curtain was lifted, revealing a beautiful face, black hair like paint, skin like jade, beautiful eyes, tall peach, light body, quiet and elegant words and deeds.
This lady-like and weak woman, seeing the scene of knives and blood splattering, her face suddenly turned a little pale. Outside the weak woman's carriage, there was an old man with gray hair. The old man's face was slightly solemn, and he carefully looked at the situation in the field, and said: "These people have fierce knife skills, they are not ordinary roads, and they are definitely not ordinary robbers. Moreover, even if it is really a robber, he will not be so inattentive and provoke us people. ”
Generally speaking, blocking roads and robbing roads is mostly to rob single merchants, and at most rob small caravans of four or five people. Even though these robbers were numerous and dependent, they were only going to rob a convoy of merchants of average size. And their group, though less than fifty in number, all of them carried swords, and as long as they had a little eyesight, they would not come to provoke them.
"When Xiangye was young, he was also jealous and hateful, and the thieves and bandits in Chenzhou Mansion were all exterminated by me in the early years, and there has been no roadblock and robbery in the past 20 years. Now dozens of robbers have appeared out of thin air, and nine times out of ten, they are coming at us. ”
The old man looked at the rosewood box in the car, his eyes were solemn, and said: "Although the hundred-year-old raspberry grass is a rare medicinal material in the world, it is enough to make people desperate. But this one is not simple. The weak woman bit her lip and said, "The hundred-year-old raspberry grass is used for my grandfather's treatment, and they came to intercept and kill, not asking for medicinal materials, but they don't want my grandfather to cure his illness and wake up." ”
The old man sneered: "When Pei Xiangye sent me to assassinate the traitor An Lushan, only more than a dozen people in the martial arts were willing to follow, and the rest of the dignitaries pretended to be deaf and dumb. Now these people want to harm Pei Xiangye, but instead send dozens of good hands in the rivers and lakes. Hehe, worried about the big matter of the country and the people, they cowered, and for their own selfishness, they sent more than 40 people to harm the good appearance of the country, which is really ironic. ”
Miss Pei clenched her palm, and her slender hand was bloodless. The two sides were fighting to the death, but the guards of the Xiangfu convoy had gradually fallen into disadvantage. "It hurt the scholar. Thinking of the innocent young scholar, she couldn't help but look over, only to see that the carriage had been pierced by a crossbow arrow, and it had rotted a big hole, and the scholar did not move, thinking that he had lost his life.
