Twenty-two: Yun Mengze's commander was ambushed, and the eight stars of the Dragon Mother Temple were rescued

The dense ships were full of men with knives and weapons, and there were about 200 people in this way. The boatmen on the flower boat also jumped into the river, and they were naturally also members of the three gangs. At this time, there were only eight people left on the flower boat.

Fan Yun carried the ghost head knife on the bow of the boat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you have fun today?"

Duan Gan said treacherously: "How can you have fun when you find so many people to intercept us and others?"

"I'm also entrusted by someone, don't blame me, adults-" After that, he used his light skills to kill the flower boat directly, and the rest of his subordinates also killed.

"I'll teach you your ghost head knife-" As soon as the words fell, Long Xiangtian jumped towards Fan Yun with his sword, and the sword qi directly forced him to the river, and the two of them used light skills to fight directly in the river, Fan Yun's knife skills were not weak, and the two fought for twenty rounds without a winner. At this time, several of Fan Yun's subordinates also fought with the other seven people, and Fan Yun's subordinates were known as the "Dongting Seven Lions", and they were good at shipping in this Dongting waters. These seven people have strong martial arts and hot tempers, but anyone who has a ship in this Dongting generation knows the title of these seven people, and any boat company does not dare to rob the business of the Yellow Lion Club, most of them are because these seven people are too ruthless, and no one wants to provoke them.

The seven of them had already fought with the seven commanders, and at this time, the minions on the ship also killed the ship one after another. Pu Mu's double knives held seven or eight steel knives, fought hard, and said to the six people who were still fighting with these people: "Retreat to the cabin, lock the door-" The six people forced the enemy back, and they all retreated to the cabin and bolted the door.

At this time, the enemy's sword outside was slashing at the hatch, "There are many people on the other side, and we are not in a good position——"

"This door won't be guarded for long—" Guo Yu looked at the trembling doorway.

Wang Yu put the chain around the tiger's mouth, and said, "When I came here today, I expected that there would be danger, and there was no way to dodge, so I fought with them——"

Li Defei grabbed the pipa that fell to the ground in the cabin, and said, "Everyone's luck seals your ears and nose-" After saying that, his fingers quickly plucked on the pipa, and after the rest of the people did so, he played faster and faster, trembling back and forth The door has been smashed open nearly fifty percent, he looked at the front and back doors, his fingertips beat on the strings so much that they have ghosted, and finally five fingers crossed the four strings- A wave of air directly broke through the cabin, the hatch was directly broken, and more than a dozen people in the front and back of the air wave passed through directly, and suddenly the seven orifices bled and lost their life, and at this time, the twenty or so people on the top of the cabin were also directly shocked into the river, and after falling into the river, some blood was turned up, and then there was no movement.

Li Defei gasped and said, "Kill it—"

Suddenly, the fighting on the ship was much more intense than before. Long Xiangtian, who was fighting on the river, held Fan Yun's knife with a sword, and opened Fan Yun with one top, Fan Yun directly hit Long Xiangtian on the surface of the river with one palm, and Long Xiangtian turned sideways on the water surface in a series of turns, and then fell upside down and fell on the empty boats around. Fan Yun also retreated to a boat - at this time, the surrounding boats were empty, and most of them scattered with the current, not as dense as just now.

"You can't beat me—" Fan Yun said.

Long Xiangtian said: "There are a lot of people I can't beat in this world, you can go down and ask how they died-" After saying that, he jumped up again, stabbed Fan Yun with a sword, Fan Yun slashed with a knife, and the two fought again on the boat, Long Xiangtian attacked very closely, almost entangled in Fan Yun's step, Fan Yun's knife technique was very strong, every knife was full of internal force, and Long Xiangtian could feel the tiger's mouth swelling with every move- He is looking for an opportunity, the snake body method is like this, he can entangle the other party and not be suppressed for the time being, and Long Xiangtian at this time as long as he seizes the opportunity, he must get the fruit: this is the philosophy he realized when he was bullied by those big children in Fulong Temple at the age of nine, and he can't wait for the opportunity at any time, and he will seize the opportunity as soon as it comes.

Fan Yun slashed at Long Xiangtian with enough strength, Long Xiangtian stepped back, the blade slashed down, and the hull of the boat in front of him cracked directly. Long Xiangtian slashed with a sword at this time, Fan Yun blocked it with a knife, the sword body in front of the soft sword bent at the blade, and bounced away in an instant, the sword head directly cut Fan Yun's left shoulder, Fan Yun withdrew the knife and retreated to the water-soaked boat, Long Xiangtian held the sword and killed again - Fan Yun held the knife and split it for a while, and the two of them used light skills to hit the river, after a period of fighting, Fan Yun directly slashed with Long Xiangtian's sword, Fan Yun's internal force directly pressed Long Xiangtian under the rapidity, and his back touched the water. At this time, Fan Yun's body was also tilted close to the water, Long Xiangtian then made the snake body method to roll himself into the water, Fan Yun was withdrawn, and when he wanted to get up, Long Xiangtian stabbed straight out of the water with a sword, Fan Yun had to block it horizontally, only to see that the knife was directly shaken away by Long Xiangtian's sword qi, and the human knife was separated and fell into the water.

Long Xiangtian fell into one of the few small boats next to him, and saw that the seven people on the boat were surrounded by heavy and had not broken through, so he immediately rowed a small boat and ran to the flower boat, at this time the flower boat was not controlled, and it had been flowing along the river, and the sound of fighting on the boat had decreased a lot - the boat was full of blood, and the people of the Yellow Lion Society had been killed by seven people by three points, but the seven people also suffered a lot of injuries.

The boat chased quickly, and when it was young, it was parallel to the flower boat in the river, Pu Mu killed the two people with a spin slash, and turned his head to look at Long Xiangtian who was setting up a small boat. "Let's go-" After saying that, Pu Mu slashed to the side of the boat, everyone saw Pu Mu running to the side of the boat, so they immediately used light skills to run to the side of the boat, Wang Yu hugged Pu Mu, whose left leg was cut, and the seven people jumped out of the flower boat together, and landed on the boat one after another, and Li Defei fell directly on the boat after falling, and the boat swayed for a while before it stabilized.

"Let's go, go to the other side of the mountain-" Long Xiangtian said to the seven people, all seven of them had enough strength to paddle the river, "Hurry up and take the medicine-" Duan Gan Weifeng held the medicine powder on Pu Mu's injury, Pu Mu endured the pain, and after Duan Gan Weifeng bandaged it, the two also joined the rowing team.

By this time the people in the boat were exhausted, the seven lions had gone to the fourth, and there were still about sixty people left, and the boat had gradually left the boat and rowed towards the other side of the mountain. The people on the boat wanted to chase after them in small boats, but many of the boats were too far away from the flower boats. I saw Fan Yun rowing to catch up - he just fell into the water, and when he got up and swam to a small boat, Long Xiangtian's boat had rowed away, and he was injured by Long Xiangtian's sword qi, so he rowed slower than Long Xiangtian, so he only arrived at the side of the flower boat now.

"It's the master—" said the flower boat.

Fan Yun shouted: "If there is a small boat around, go to the boat first, and the rest of the people will chase after them in the flower boat—don't let them run away-"

At this time, the remaining three lions got off the flower boat, took a few people on the three small boats around them, and rowed directly after them. After the flower boat turned around slowly, so it had fallen, Fan Yun got up and rowed, enduring the sword wound and chasing all the way.

The boat in which the eight people were riding had rowed to the side of the mountain on the opposite bank, and Chen Renhai saw that there were four small boats chasing after him, so he said: "Go to the mountain pass - find a good place to go ashore." The mountain on this shore is too steep to go ashore. ”

The boat rowed sideways to the pass, and when the boat saw that it had changed direction, it immediately followed suit, and these men were all good hands, and when they changed direction, they made their boats catch up again. The boat was almost at the pass, and the eight people who were close to it all tried their best and jumped onto the pass. Supporting each other, they ran into the mountains and forests and turned into the mountains. The boat behind also caught up, and more than thirty people got off the boat, and at this time, the flower boat also rushed to the pass, Fan Yun jumped to the side of the mountain, sighed, turned his head and said, "Let them sail the boat back to the village." ”

"Why, boss, most of them are wounded, and if the brothers come, they will be able to capture the eight of them?" asked the men.

Fan Yun and the rest of the people said: "First, the martial arts of these eight people are profound, just now the seven of you have gone to four, I was also injured by that person's sword qi, if you still want to fight with them, even if you capture them, you will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, which is not good for us;

"But what if they find the Dongting Army?" asked his men.

Fan Yun said: "Why should we panic, as long as we don't show up among the local officials, we can be safe and sound." You wait for the three of you to hide for a few days, and then come out when they are gone. So saying, he got into the boat and sailed away from the shore with the others.

It is only said that these people walked in the mountains, and slowly saw that there was a step above, and on a withered winter day, Pu Mu looked up and saw that the steps had turned several corners, and there was a temple looming in front of him. "There seems to be a temple ahead-" Pu Mu said, the rest of the people looked up, Wang Yu said: "I waited to go up the stone steps first, where there are stone steps, it must not be a dead end, I will wait to go quickly, lest they catch up——"

Eight people climbed up the stone steps, supported back and forth on the stone steps trotting, when they arrived in front of a temple, fixed their eyes to see, only to know that it is a dragon mother temple, and see that this temple is not abandoned but no one guards, think that it is the people in the nearby county to raise funds to build, in order to protect a side of the water and soil built, to worship the dragon mother when the time comes, then come here to incense and pray.

"Is there anyone in this temple-" Guo Yu shouted outside the door, Duan Gan directly kicked open the temple door, "Go first and heal, don't worry about the others." Duan Gan said treacherously.

Eight people entered the temple gate one after another, and then closed the gate. The people entered the temple from the courtyard and closed the door at the same time. Duan Gan took out a few packets of medicine from his coat pocket, pointed to the medicine bag and said, "This is trauma medicine, and they all bandage each other's wounds." This is internal medicine, to replenish internal strength, I will wait here to rest for a while to take medicine to heal the wounds. ”

The people began to heal one after another, and the sun turned westward, until the river was set, and the moon came out of the east mountain again. There was no one in the temple to light a fire, and at this time all eight people had recovered seven or eight points. The eight of them were a little sleepy, leaning, leaning, and sitting in the temple.

Chen Renhai lay directly on the ground, and as soon as he lay down, he suddenly felt that the floor tiles were a little strange, and immediately turned over and lay on the floor tiles. Seeing this, the other seven people immediately became alert, and Long Xiangtian asked, "What's wrong with this floor tile?"

"The sound is not right, hollowed-" Chen Renhai's ear was pressed to the ground and knocked a few more times.

The other seven quietly stood up and looked around for the hidden mechanism in the temple. "Here—look," Pu Mu pointed to the white jade held on the statue of the Mother of Dragons, the temple was too dark, and it seemed to reflect the light.

"Brother Pu mean the agency here?" Chen Renhai said.

Pu Mu pointed to the white jade and said: "In the dark night, how can only this white jade reflect the light, the entire dragon mother's holy image is built in a set, but only the white jade reflects the light." ”

"The white jade is smooth and naturally reflective, so why is it said to be a mechanism?" asked Wang Yu.

"It's because of its reflection—" With that, Pu Mu pointed to the ground, and the light reflected by the moonlight shone on the floor tiles that Chen Renhai had doubts about just now.

Chen Renhai then remembered that when he entered the temple just now, the doors and windows were placed a little strangely, which was different from the construction of the doors and windows of other temples, and immediately jumped onto the statue of the Dragon Mother and took away the white jade. I saw that there were three floor tiles on the ground open at the same time.

"How do you go down these three floor tiles?" Long Xiangtian lowered his head and probed into the ground, and Bai Yang and Guo Yu made a fire fold, and also probed the ground of the other two floor tiles.

Long Xiangtian said: "What is the foul smell here?"

"There are all sharp knives underneath here, and if someone chooses this secret passage, there must be no return. Poplar said. What Guo Yu found was no different from poplar.

Pu Mu said: "There is still a risk if it goes on like this...... Long Xiangtian said: "Brother Wang, you lock my waist with an iron chain, I will go down with the method of winding the snake, if there is danger, I will pull the iron rope, you wait to pull me up——"

Wang Yu did so, Long Xiangtian went to the dark passage where the moonlight illuminated the floor tiles, Long Xiangtian was almost to the ground of the dark passage at this moment, and the chain was about to be put to the end, only to see that there were some large boxes hidden in this secret room, and the seals that remained on the big boxes were found by Long Xiangtian under the light of Long Xiangtianhuo's folding-the unique seal confiscated by the Criminal Department. In addition, it seemed that there was something else here, and when the fire shone on that side, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but widen his eyes, and a corpse was spread out among those boxes.

Long Xiangtian pulled the iron lock, and everyone pulled it back to the ground. "The lost official silver, inside-" Long Xiang Tiandao. Everyone's eyes widened, no one would have imagined that such a temple that they had entered by mistake would have such an unexpected gain here.

"Have you read carefully?" asked Pu Mu.

As he spoke, the door of the temple opened, and everyone immediately squatted down and put their ears on the door. I could only hear the movement of a fire in the courtyard, and at the same time there was the sound of a conversation—

"Hey, I'm tired today, the pheasant you caught is good, go and pick up the feathers to roast -"

"I wanted to come to this peaceful and prosperous world to be a soldier and eat a meal, but I didn't expect to practice horses and steps all day long. ”

"Thanks to the fact that the young marshal of our Dongting Army made meritorious contributions to the west this time, the emperor rewarded the three armies, and we also lost it, and the monthly money has doubled. ”

"A few of us are really lucky, the Northwest rebels are extremely vicious, and they have broken a lot of people This time, I waited for the fortune teller and was not transferred to quell the rebellion. ”

Only then did the eight people know that it was the Dongting Army here, so they immediately opened the door.

When the soldiers saw the door open, they immediately sat up in shock, and when they saw that the eight men in front of them were all armed with swords, their clothes were somewhat torn, and some of them were bandaged with wounds, they felt that they were not good people, so they immediately took up arms. A soldier held a gun and asked, "Who are you, why did you come here to eavesdrop on this military master?"

Seeing this, Pu Mu immediately flashed his waist card and said, "Our eight newly promoted commanders in the Great Inner Palace, ask your general to come and talk to me——"

The soldiers were not sure when they saw this waist card, but recently the whole army was talking about the emperor's re-election of the officials of the Great Interior, and the little leader immediately said: "Wait a minute, everyone, I will go and invite the general to come, you quickly put out the fire-"

The crowd immediately threw the freshly killed chicken out of the temple and extinguished the firewood. Seeing this, the eight people looked at each other and smiled, maybe the army here is strictly disciplined and is not allowed to open a small stove without permission.

When he was young, a general in tiger head armor came with a few of his guards, "Young marshal, these eight people say that they are the eight commanders of Ouchi-"

"It was General Situ. Pu Mu said.

"Eight commanders, how did you come here?" General Situ said - it turned out that when the division of the Western Army triumphed that day, the eight commanders and the emperor greeted the king division together, and here they knew that Situ Kai was one of the generals under General Tyrant Xiong. In order to show his meritorious service to the western rebellion, the emperor named him a loyal general.

"General, please come into the hall and speak—" Long Xiang said.

After hearing this, Situ Kai immediately entered the temple, and several people closed the door. The eight of them informed Situ Kai in the temple of what they had just seen.

"I know what the commanders are saying, but I don't know what the last general needs to do?" Situ Kai said.

"The Dongting Army is not under the orders of the Dongting Mansion, how many soldiers and horses can the general deploy?" asked Pu Mu.

Situ Kai said: "You don't know, we need the emperor's military talisman to transfer troops." Although the eight commanders have the right to supervise the six departments and are directly subordinate to the emperor's order, they must not send me to transfer troops. ”

"The soldiers and horses of Dongting Mansion were originally under the control of the King of the South?" asked Chen Renhai.

"Commander Chen doesn't know that the prince of Dingnan can only transfer 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he can't transfer all the soldiers and horses. However, my guards are all under my personal order, and there are 800 elite soldiers, and I am here to be sent by your lords—" Situ Kai said.

"That's very good. You first send someone to seal this Dragon Mother Temple, and no one will be allowed to approach without you. After that, we need to find out where the bones came from. Pu Mu said.

"Obey the orders of the Commander-" Situ Kai went out of the door and said to the guards: "You wait for my general order to send me two hundred soldiers to seal this temple, and take strict care of it here, no one is allowed to enter this temple without the orders of me and your lords." ”

The guards replied and immediately went out of the gate to give the order. "Although it is against military discipline for you to come here without permission, but you have done great things for the eight commanders, and you can be punished, and the twenty military staff generals will be exempted from you. Go back quickly, don't talk to anyone about this—" Situ Kai said to the soldiers who had just come to the temple.

The soldiers replied and hurried out of the temple, and the night was a twist and turn for them.

It is only said that the guards are stationed in the Dragon Mother Temple, and the temple is brightly lit at the moment, and the bones in the temple are placed in front of the Dragon Mother statue, and those large boxes have also been transported from the underground secret room to the courtyard one by one - because there is no place in the temple, they are all transported to the courtyard.

Eight people surrounded the corpse, endured the stench everywhere and moved the torch to the corpse - the corpse was not yet fully decomposed, in this dark secret room, the smell could not be dissipated, just opened the floor tiles, the stench slowly dissipated, and after the soldiers who got out of the secret room carried it out, some soldiers couldn't help but run out of the door and vomited.

Carrion, bare bones, such a corpse is the most difficult to do an autopsy, and none of the eight have ever done an autopsy. Long Xiangtian's gaze swept to the ornament worn next to the bones, which was an iron plaque engraved with a black wolf's head. Long Xiangtian remembered that when he went to see the people of the Three Gangs and the shopkeeper Yu that day, someone was wearing this kind of ornament - that person was Hu Hao, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang.

Long Xiangtian took off the iron card, and everyone looked at Long Xiangtian.

"The people of the Black Wolf Gang—" With that, Long Xiangtian displayed the iron plaque with the others, the front of the iron plaque was engraved with a black wolf head, and the back read: Black Wolf Priest.
