6. Clouds and smoke

Twelve people entered the cave, and the rest of the people guarded outside the cave, but there was no news for half an hour, and after an hour, there was still no movement, Luo Bing thought that with the strength of Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng, the people in the cave would have the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, and they could not help them.

I can't wait, I can't help but take care of my heart, and I regret not going into the hole with everyone. After waiting for a while, Luo Bing finally couldn't bear it anymore, gave a few words to everyone, and went into the cave alone.

Luo Bing entered the hole this time, there was no torch in his hand, and his action was very difficult, although his kung fu was good, he couldn't see at night, and he could stand up his ears to hear and distinguish the position.

His heart is burning, but the height of the cave is uneven, Rao is light work is good is rugged and difficult, and he can't see his fingers, stumbling, painful, fortunately although the hole is crooked, there is no fork, not afraid of being trapped in the belly of the mountain.

Luo Bing thought of the letter sent by Chu Qiuyan, and he was even more worried, not knowing if it was his brother from the Criminal Department.

After such a long ascetic, Luo Bing suddenly heard a heavy wheezing sound, and couldn't help but be startled, slowly pulled out his personal short sword, lightened his steps, and walked over slowly.

Luo Bing got closer and closer, only to feel that the wheezing sound was very noisy, it seemed that there was more than one person, and his mind moved: "Aren't they all the people in Dali Temple?" and said loudly at the moment: "Are you all brothers?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately jumped backwards to prevent someone from sneaking attack.

I only heard Wen Xing's weak voice coming: "It's us...... There is a master in the cave, like a ghost, Lu Changfeng and Ouyang Qing seem to be still fighting with that person......"

Luo Bing couldn't hear the sound of the fight, and felt slightly strange, thinking that Lu Changfeng and Ouyang Qing might have been defeated, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and suddenly his eyes lit up, but it was Wen Xing who struggled to light the torch that fell to the ground to extinguish.

As soon as his eyes lit up, the cave suddenly had a glimmer, and his eyes were immediately much more comfortable, Luo Bing raised his eyes and looked around, but this was a stone room, but it was cleaned up, and there were still a few ink treasures hanging in the middle. On a boulder next to him, Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng were competing with an old man in black with long hair.

Luo Bing picked up the torch and walked over, only to see that the old man looked calm, and he didn't seem to have much strength, but Ouyang Qing was sweating like pulp, although Lu Changfeng was not sweating, his face was very ugly, and the two joined forces, but they couldn't withstand the palm power of the man alone.

Luo Bing was taken aback, there was still such a kung fu in the world, and he was able to fight the enemy Lu Changfeng and Ouyang Qing together. Although Lu Changfeng's martial arts are not outstanding, the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes are by no means a problem.

Ouyang Qing's martial arts practice is like himself, he has a solid foundation, and there is no shortcut, although the moves are not subtle, but every move and style is down-to-earth, and it is the kind that can be refined every day.

In the world, no one can defeat Lu and Ou with one enemy and two. The two of them were already irritable when they entered the cave to find for a long time, and the old man in black was ambushed in advance and attacked in advance, and Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng, who were attacked instantly, were caught off guard, as if no one in the world was invincible, and they took one point in sharpness.

Lost a cut in sharpness, and naturally lost three points in momentum, if you usually set up a shelf and open the formation, who can withstand the joint attack of the two.

A few days ago, the ronin sneak attacked, Chu Qiuyu injured Zhao Tao with one finger, and Lu Changfeng was still shocked and still retreated with Ouyang Qing and everyone almost completely. Although Chu Qiuyu's martial arts are above Lu Changfeng, after adding an Ouyang Qing, Chu Qiuyu has no time to take care of him, and it is more than enough for self-preservation, but he has no more spare strength to hurt others.

Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng have solid kung fu, and their internal strength is also solid and deep, the true qi of the two is condensed, and they are not afraid of any martial arts, even if Tie Mo Le comes to Na, he can't say that he can win the two of them within thirty moves. But the old man in black was so powerful that the two of them were almost out of breath, and they had to prevent the rest of the fast catchers from taking advantage of the situation, which was naturally very hard.

Luo Bing's mind turned and he already knew that the joints were powerful, so he immediately attacked mercilessly, and stabbed the old man's left eye with his sword.

As soon as the light turned on, the old man knew that something was wrong, and he was thinking about how to get rid of it, and he couldn't figure it out anymore above the cold light.

The old man shouted violently, stood up, his right hand was from Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng, and the two fingers of his left hand clamped Luo Bing's long sword together, and threw it back, the long sword "buzzed" through the air, and hit the wall with a sound of "grabbing" half an inch.

Lu Changfeng suddenly felt that the pressure suddenly decreased, and his left hand drew a semicircle, "pushing the door to look at the mountain" bluffed with extremely soft stamina, but it was the heart of the red-line girl "Ni Dress Feather Coat".

Seeing this, Ouyang Qing was also half-squatting, but his palms were lifted from his waist, "pushing the door and looking at the moon" was in the strong wind, Luo Bing didn't answer, his left hand held Ouyang Qing's shoulder, and the right hand "Little Tianxing" Wudang's inner palm followed Ouyang Qing's internal force.

The old man in black was also very good, his palms retracted, drew a semicircle, and the horse step and half squatted and pushed it out flatly, seeing that the palm momentum was awe-inspiring, and he joined forces to meet it.

Listening only to the sound of "Karara", the three of them all felt that their arms were sore, and they were depressed, and the old man in black could no longer withstand the power of the three of them no matter what, so he flew out and fell into the water stream deep in the cave, and immediately disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Lu Changfeng put his palms together on the spot, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted his true qi.

Ouyang Qing sat cross-legged with his legs crossed, relieving his strength for a long time.

Luo Bing stepped on the Nine Palaces with both feet, walking back and forth to eliminate the boredom in his heart, and slowly moved for a while, his face recovered, and Wudang's internal strength is about static movement.

After an hour, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the major officials and fast catchers also rested, except for the injuries this time, no one died, the torches were redistributed, and a group of four searched around back to back.

The three of them searched in the stone chamber behind, but unexpectedly saw two women tied to the ground.

Luo Bing was shocked, grabbed the limelight of Ouyang Qinghe and Lu Chang, and stepped forward quickly, only to see that the two women were actually veiled, and they were not living people, they were Hu Miji and the maid Xiaoyue last night!

Luo Bing solved the acupoints for the two, helped the two of them up, and said strangely: "Why did you two run here?"

Xiao Yue turned her face away and lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, Hu Miji sobbed: "We don't know, we woke up last night and ran here......"

Luo Bing was very surprised in his heart, he didn't know anything about the two of them, and he couldn't ask, but he heard Ouyang Qing say: "In my opinion, most of the people in black are greedy and lustful, and they have taken the two of them captive, and the old man just now must be his comrade." ”

Luo Bing scolded him in his heart for not saying anything nice, the man in black was obviously his uncle, how lustful, and even scolded Ouyang Qing for not leaving some thoughts for himself, but it was not easy to refute the protΓ©gΓ© in his mouth: "Maybe so, what Brother Ouyang said is very reasonable." ”

After waiting in the cave for a long time, the courage finally recovered and the fear dissipated. But most of them are barely able to walk, but they can't bear it again, and I'm afraid that they will stay for a long time, and the people outside are worried, so they still start to walk outside.

The cave was rugged and difficult to walk, and the distance was long, and the servants and catchers had to do such an ascetic walk after recovering a few percent of their physical strength, and they all felt extremely painful

Everyone gritted their teeth, and a group of big men couldn't hum, so they gritted and walked forward.

Hu Miji and Xiao Yue are women, and the soft-soled powder shoes they wear are even more difficult to walk for so long, and their bodies are even more crooked.

Ouyang Qing wanted to help Hu Miji, but was glared back by Hu Miji's eyes, so he was embarrassed.

Xiaoyue was supported by Luo Bing and did not resist.

Hu Miji glanced at Lu Changfeng a few times, but Lu Changfeng didn't seem to see it, and walked by himself waving his hands as if nothing existed, Ouyang Qing couldn't help but scold Lu Changfeng in his heart for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

After walking for a long time, Hu Miji finally "plopped", fell squarely, and couldn't get up again.

Lu Changfeng couldn't pretend to be this time, so he had no choice but to reach out and pick up Hu Miji and walk out.

Luo Bing saw that he was holding Hu Miji's wrist, but through his sleeves, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: "Lu Changfeng is indeed not close to women, but he wants to be the teacher who has been famous for the ages?"

I don't know how long I walked, and everyone came out of the hole, seeing the stars in the sky, the insects chirping in the distance, and the occasional sound of frogs, it actually took a day's effort.

Except for Luo Bing, Lu Changfeng, and Ouyang Qing, who were getting more and more energetic, the rest of them were struggling and collapsed to the ground as soon as they got out of the hole.

The guards outside the cave gathered one after another, took the dry food and water bottles they had brought with them, and they all felt strange when they saw that everyone was wearing crooked hats and torn their clothes one by one. It's just that the eldest and second are here, but they can't ask, and they feel bored in their hearts.

Seeing that the woman was so beautiful despite her masked eyes and looking forward to the brilliance, she only felt that it was a strange thing, but when she saw Luo Bing carrying a woman with a strange and ugly woman on her back, it was not surprising that what had happened before.

Luo Bing put Xiao Yue down, and Xiao Yue saw that everyone was looking at her, she was so embarrassed that she bowed her head and said nothing.

Luo Bing stared at her for a long time, and finally raised his voice: "Girl, are you still unwilling to show the true face of Lushan?"

When Xiao Yue heard this, she panicked slightly, didn't look over, took a few steps back, hid her face with her sleeves, and didn't want to face people. Luo Bing said lightly: "Miss Xue, where is Tiemoller's son?"

Xiao Yue took a few steps back, even more panicked, at a loss, and everyone was in a fog.

Lu Changfeng listened to his past a few days ago, knew what he was referring to, and waited for it to change, Ouyang Qingyun knew a little in the fog, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he couldn't talk much about the big things in front of the case.

Luo Bing sneered, took a step forward, turned his five fingers into claws, and reached out to grab Xiao Yue's face in the "crane beak style".

Although Ouyang Qing had a very bad impression of Xiao Yue's ugly face, he was also afraid of falling into the prestige of Dali Temple, after all, Luo Bing was the commander of the Thousand Cattle of the Criminal Department, and he was still about to stop Luo Bing, Lu Changfeng glanced at him: "He may have his reasons." ”

only heard a soft "hiss" sound, Luo Bing already had an extra mask in his hand, and Xiao Yue showed a radiant, bright and beautiful youthful face.

Luo Bing looked at the woman's appearance, as if she had been hit hard in the chest, her face turned pale sharply, and she took a few steps back. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Are you Xue Kexin?" This is the name of Lady Tie before she got married.

Xiaoyue seems to have changed at this time, her eyebrows are lightly swept, no fat powder is applied, and she is even more beautiful without the slightest fireworks. It's just that there is always a sense of melancholy between the eyebrows, and his face is not normal, as if he is sick, and he is not lightly ill.

Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng were also shocked.

Lu Changfeng said: "Lady Tie ,......?" Lu Changfeng also followed his master to see Tie Mole when he was a teenager.

Ouyang Qing secretly said in his heart: "I can't imagine that Mrs. Tie is actually pretending to be so ugly, well, being in a brothel, pretending to be ugly is the best way to preserve her innocence." ”

Xiao Yue was stared at by the three of them for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "The three of them are only afraid of recognizing the wrong person, the little woman is not Miss Xue or Mrs. Tie, the little woman is just the lady's maid, just because the little woman is sick, the mask she wears, the little woman is called Xiao Yue." ”

The three of them were stunned, and Luo Bing suddenly shouted: "You are not her!"

Lu Changfeng also reacted, and said lightly: "Indeed, Miss Xiaoyue is only afraid that she is not thirty this year...... If the Iron Lady had lived, she would have been fifty years old."

The three of them stared at Xiao Yue and saw that her skin was delicate and white as silk, but after two years of life, they suddenly realized in their hearts: There are two people in the world who look so similar! Yes, in the Tianshan Battle, Tie Mole and his wife died together at the hands of Tuoba Linglong, how could Lady Tie still be alive in the world? Even if she was still alive, she would not be so young.

Thinking of this section, the three of them all looked at each other.

Lu Changfeng was the first to say: "But they look similar, no wonder we are suspicious, and ask the girl to forgive us." Neither Miss Xue nor Madame Tie, and there is no need to hesitate so much, we will send them back to the ship's house and settle the matter. With that, he motioned for Luo Bing to return the human skin mask to Xiao Yue.

turned around and took a soap coat that caught fast and gave it to Xiaoyue to mask, this human skin mask is also extremely precious, and it has to be warm with hot water to wear it, and it can't be worn at this time.

Although Ouyang Qing has never seen Tie Mole and his wife, there are portraits of Dali Temple, and he has heard a lot of rumors in the rivers and lakes, but at this time he was thinking in his heart: "Does this Xiaoyue really look very similar to Madame Tie?" If you talk about her appearance, she may be inferior to Hu Miji's extraterritorial style, but that pure and cold temperament is the best choice, and I am very happy about this girl!"

The abacus in his heart was tugging, and a person lowered his head and was thinking to himself, Lu Changfeng saw that his mind did not belong, and his soul did not keep it, and he said in his heart: "Luo Bing's soul is not guarded, why does Ouyang Qing also look like he has lost his soul?"

Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Ouyang, what do you think, how can you be so soulful?"

Ouyang Qing came back to his senses suddenly, and said in his mouth: "Hmm...... Well, this, I was thinking, although the man in black is not in the cave, his accomplice is still inside, maybe he has something to go out and will come back soon, so we might as well wait here for a while. ”

On the side, Luo Bing was startled, if his uncle came back at this time, it would definitely be a turtle in the urn, and it would be impossible to withstand the reason of the three of us, and he hurriedly said: "It is impossible, with the wisdom of the man in black, there is no reason to continue to live, and he must have escaped without a trace, how can he come back to die?" Waiting here, but in vain." ”

Luo Bing was afraid that if he touched Chu Qiuyu, it would be very embarrassing, although Chu Qiuyu's martial arts were amazing, if he wanted to say that he would put down Lu Changfeng and Ouyang Qing casually, he didn't believe it.

Lu Changfeng said strangely, how could Brother Ouyang be extremely wise this time, but it is just like this, and it should be guarded against.

At that moment, he said loudly: "If you come, you will be safe, and if you keep it for a few hours, what's the matter? If the man in black really goes and returns, but we leave first, won't we leave the boss with regret?"

All the officials nodded yes, and after each point was completed, they were full of food and drink, and their spirits were vigorous.

Luo Bing saw that it was difficult to disobey the will of the people, so he didn't say much, and scolded secretly in his heart: "Ouyang Qing, this bastard, what the hell is the idea, if Chu Qiuyu comes back, won't it hurt him! Damn, sooner or later I will have to rectify you."

Thinking about it, he muttered in his mouth: "In my opinion, we have all been injured and have no strength to fight again, once we get into a fight with the man in black, we will have more casualties, and it is easy to make a big mistake, why don't we let the big guy go back and leave only the three of us here?"

He was worried that Chu Qiuyu would really return, and thought to himself that if there were only three people left, it would be easier to help her get out of danger.

Lu Changfeng said: "Leng Qi, you take the brothers and the two girls back to Dali Temple, and you must protect the two girls on the way." Brother Luo, Brother Ouyang, you and I are ambushing here. ”

Hu Miji stood up and bent over, Lian Yi gave a salute, but said: "Lu Servant Shooting, I don't want to go back to the boat tonight, can you stay in Dali Temple for a day......

Lu Changfeng turned his back and said coldly: "Whatever you want." ”

Hu Miji bent down and blessed her, said thank you, took Xiaoyue's hand, and slowly went back with Leng Qi and the others.

Seeing everyone leave, the three of them hid in three hidden places outside the cave according to Ouyang Qing's arrangement.

Ouyang Qing understands everything, but he can't be proficient in everything. Qimen also knows some of the five elements, and the layout at this moment is also extremely exquisite, not only is it extremely difficult to find the hiding place of the three people, but it is also a corner at the entrance of the cave, if the man in black arrives here, it will be difficult to dodge even if the three mediocre hands suddenly sneak attack.

But it is the man in black who is really strong in martial arts, and he will hit with one blow, and the side that guards alone is bound to be difficult to protect, although Lu Changfeng felt surprised, in fact, there was something wrong, and he didn't have a better strategy, so he didn't say it.

Luo Bing saw the arrangement, he was very worried and melancholy, and he said in his heart that his uncle Amitabha Buddha had arrived.

Wait all night, wait another day, wait another night.

In the early morning of the third day, even Ouyang Qing couldn't help but scold his mother, and he slapped himself twice, scolding himself for finding guilt. He was filthy in his heart, and he found a reason for himself to be uncomfortable, at this time he was lying in bed and sleeping, wasn't he fragrant?

But how can I slap myself when I get up, and I feel uncomfortable up and down.

The three of them each have their own worries, each has their own worries, Luo Bing only felt sore, couldn't help stretching, got up and said, "Two, don't wait any longer, I see that most of the people in black have fled." ”

Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng had a fight the day before yesterday, and they had already suffered a lot of loss, and after waiting for a long time, they felt even more uncomfortable, and they were not unhappy in any part of their bodies, and they all stood up.

Luo Bing was secretly happy in his heart, but Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng were listless and depressed, and the three of them returned silently, speechless all the way.

The three of them went back to Dali Temple, walked to the door, but there was no sentry at the door, they all felt strange, and then entered the gate, only to see the wolf all over the ground, many places were stained with blood, the three of them looked at each other, and rushed in.

There was no one in the courtyard, there were obvious footprints on the white wall of the wall, there were scratches on the ground, on the wall, on the tables and chairs, there were some broken swords scattered on the ground, plus the blood stains everywhere, the three of them couldn't help but panic.

Lu Changfeng has always been calm, but now his face has changed color, and his expression is no longer relaxed.

Ouyang Qing looked around, a thought suddenly surged in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the man in black came here last night to avenge our killing of his subordinates that day?"

Thinking of the martial arts of the man in black, his heart was cold, and he knew that even the two Ouyang Qing were here for nothing.

Luo Bing knew the bottom line, and immediately refuted: "Impossible!"

Ouyang Qing glared and said, "Why is it impossible?"

Luo Bing couldn't find a good reason, so he was speechless for a while, but he still said: "Where are the thieves who kill the official yamen!"

He knew that Chu Qiuyu was just using the hand of Dali Temple to get rid of Cao Yongmin's traitors and ronins, but Chu Qiuyu didn't want to kill people, so of course he wouldn't come to Dali Temple to seek revenge, but these words were difficult to say.

Lu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "Brother Ouyang Xian, don't be suspicious. After all, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are tens of thousands of royal forest troops stationed outside the city, and there are countless Jinwuwei in the city. What's more, it is not easy to abandon them, not to mention that when he encounters patrols in the city, he miscalculates the time, and if he bumps into you and me, his life is also in danger. He took such a big risk, spent so much effort, just to let out a bad breath, this calculation is absolutely impossible. ”

Ouyang Qing felt very reasonable, and felt relieved, and said that he didn't want to resist the pot by himself, so he felt even more relieved, and asked casually: "Then who do you say attacked here and took away all the brothers?"

Lu Changfeng shook his head slowly and sighed, "Let's hurry up and find someone first."

After turning around, there was no figure, and the three of them were depressed, and ran to the door to sit on the stone, they were thirsty, hungry and panicked.
