Chapter 122: The Buddha is suddenly cold and the moon is silent
With the strength of the two of them, and Dao Xueke has no internal strength, it is also very difficult to face so many well-equipped guards, and he is gradually unable to do it. The guards went forward one after another, waiting for work at ease, and gradually consumed the physical strength of the two of them. Dao Xueke waved his long knife, and the cold light passed through, and the light armor cracked, leaving only a faint blood mark on the skin.
Moments later, the ground was covered with the corpses of the guards, tattered armor, and slick blood that smelled fishy. The blood stains that also fell from Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi were like a petal of delicate red plums, but they were very dazzling. The long blade in the hand of the sword snowman rolled up, and the red blood flowed along the blade through the blade, gathering at the blocking hand and slowly dripping to the ground. Luo Baiyi's hands trembled slightly, and the heavy breaths of the two exhaled alternately.
"I won't tell you, but I'm sure I'll know about it for a long time. But time is not waiting, I have to come to Tanglin Mansion alone, even if I don't have internal strength, dozens of lives in Kexue Mountain Villa will watch me from the sky. I had to get to the bottom of what happened, but I couldn't put my friends in danger with me. It's not healed yet, and I don't want to bother her to heal my internal injuries. The less one knows, the less one worries. Dao Xueke's eyes looked around at the guards who had surrounded the two of them but refused to step forward again.
The two of them were back to back, surrounded by guards, with corpses at their feet, the encirclement was shrinking little by little, and the tense spirit of the two supported the two to persevere. Luo Baiyi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If you don't say goodbye, won't we be worried? Do you think that if you don't want to involve us, we won't come back to Tanglin Mansion? What are friends? What are brothers? We grew up together, you know my temper." I don't object to you coming to Tanglin, but you want to die alone, I don't agree!"
"Hmph, too. So you said that you want to come to Tanglin with me, but I didn't refuse. I also know that you will definitely chase after you. Dao Xueke chuckled softly.
Luo Baiyi was a little crying and laughing, as if his thoughts had already been seen through by Dao Xueke: "It turns out that you already knew that I was back." It seems that you really treat me as a brother, so you let me accompany you to die. No matter what, no matter what, if a person can have a good brother who has lived a life in this life, it is worth me to accompany him to his death! Today, let my two brothers kill happily, and even if they die, they will have no regrets!"
Looking at Luo Baiyi's increasingly resolute eyes and proud figure, Dao Xueke said disapprerovitically: "Who said that I want you to accompany me to die, we came to the prince's mansion to find out the truth, not to work blindly and desperately!
And when the village hill climbed with a roll, he ran to the door of the government office in disheveled clothes and sat down on the ground. The gatekeeper with the lantern saw it, recognized Lord Fu Yin, and hurriedly helped Zhuang Qiu up, but the stall of meat was lying on the ground and refused to get up, and the gatekeeper said: "My lord, my lord, how can you ......" Zhuang Qiu didn't appreciate it, slapped the door ban in the face like anger, and scolded angrily: "Dog slave." The door guard knelt beside him with a red and swollen face, and kowtowed again and again: "The villain should die, the villain has angered the adult, the villain deserves to die, please forgive the adult......" Although the poor gatekeeper didn't know what he was wrong, he was eager to save his life, and then knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhuang Qiu took out the token he was carrying and slapped it on the face of the access control, and the access control took the token and held it in his hand. Zhuang Qiu gasped and ordered, "Immediately! Immediately, take the token of this mansion...... Call together...... Gather all the officials and soldiers, and hurry to the prince's mansion...... Assist...... Assist the prince and arrest the rebels, quick!" The gate guard reacted immediately, helped Zhuang Qiu into the mansion, and summoned all the officials, jailers, and soldiers to rush out of the mansion and rush to the Tanglin Prince's mansion.
The jailer in the government jail received the order, took his weapons and left the cell. But even the jailers have been transferred, and the entire Tanglin Mansion has become an empty city except for Zhuang Qiu and his subordinates. And the people of the Ten Ghost Hall, who had been locked in the prison for a long time, came to the opportunity. Feng Zhan, Wen Nanzhi, Ling Yige, the Demon in the Umbrella, Duan Qingmeng and Cheng Lie's cells are next to each other, and they can communicate smoothly just by leaning against the door. And their weapons were leaning against the wall.
Seeing that the jailers had all withdrawn, Ling Yige lay on the side of the cell door and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng!"
Feng Zhan, who was lying on his side in a wheelchair, heard someone calling him, and immediately came to the cell door. This group of jailers still had a conscience, and did not take away the tools that Feng Zhan relied on to act. Feng Zhan came to the door, and only then did he hear that it was Ling Yige calling him. "Xiao Ling. Feng Zhan replied. "Brother Feng, why did these jailers come out, could it be that something happened outside?"
Feng Zhan also noticed something unusual, and after a moment of silence, he analyzed: "These jailers looked in a hurry, and they all carried weapons, and they left in a hurry, they must have gone to support a certain place. And there are already soldiers and servants who are daily guards in the Tanglin Mansion, and now it is extremely rare for even the jailers to pour out of the nest, and it must be something urgent outside that will cause such a large-scale operation. And what can make Zhuang Qiu, the dignified Dongling Mansion Yin, so scruples and nervous, I am afraid that something happened to the prince's mansion, and Zhuang Qiu rushed to the rescue. ”
"Could it be that it was Brother Xue who made a big fuss about the prince's mansion?" Duan Qingmeng also came to the door and said when he heard the sound.
"Quite possibly. Feng Zhan nodded heavily, "If it was really Ah Xue and they went to the prince's mansion and caused an uproar, it could be regarded as indirectly creating an opportunity for us." Moreover, the troops of the entire Tanglin Mansion rushed to the Wangye's Mansion, and Axue's situation must be very dangerous. We must take this opportunity to escape and see what is going on, so that we can help Axue!"
Duan Qingmeng sighed with a depressed face: "But our weapons have all been confiscated, how can we get out now?"
Cheng Lie, who was full of vicissitudes and turned his back to the prison door, shook his head and sighed: "If my martial arts are still there, with my Flame Arhat Fist, what can I do in this cell?"
Everyone's hearts sank, even if it was a resourceful seal, there was nothing to be done at this time. When everyone was helpless, Ling Yige didn't care, and laughed softly: "It's up to me at this time." ”
Feng Zhan hurriedly asked, "Could it be Xiaoling, do you have a way to get out?"
"Naturally, there is, otherwise wouldn't my nickname be in vain?" Ling Yige laughed loudly, his laughter also infected everyone, bringing a glimmer of hope to others. Feng Zhan and the others also knew that Ling Yige had always liked to tinker with some gadgets, what kind of hidden weapons, Qimen formations, sometimes could indeed play a great role.
I saw Ling Yige roll up his sleeves, revealing a small arm, and there was a circle of wooden mechanisms on the small arm. Ling Yige shook his head and chuckled: "It's a pity that these rice bucket officials searched their bodies too carefully, although they took away my Xuanji box, they couldn't take away my flying claws. Ling Yige's arm was reversed, and there was a small eagle's claw-like mechanism on the inside of the wooden mechanism, only two inches long, but it was very sharp. Ling Yige aimed at the Xuanji box leaning against the wall, pressed the mechanism on his arm, and with a "whoosh", the hook claw ejected from the mechanism, and in the blink of an eye, it hooked the edge of the Xuanji box.
Everyone's hopes were pinned on Ling Yige, several eyes converged on the hook claw, Ling Yi Ge pressed the mechanism again, the rope connecting the hook and the mechanism contracted extremely quickly, and the hook easily hooked the mystery box to the door of the cell. Ling Yige pierced his hand through the gap in the cell, patted it three times in succession, opened the treasure box with a "click", and took out a small wooden stick like a key. The small sticks are carved with extremely precise patterns.
"What is this?" asked Feng Zhan, curious. He had also seen all kinds of mechanisms in Ling Yige, all of them were extremely exquisite, but this wooden stick had never been seen before, and judging from the appearance alone, there was nothing peculiar. Ling Yige said with a smile: "Brother Feng, you don't know, this is a universal key I invented, I didn't have the opportunity to use it before, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now." This key can open the lock of the world, and I don't care about the prison of Tanglin Mansion. ”
After that, Ling Yige inserted the key into the keyhole with his backhand under the expectant gaze of everyone, twisted the end of the key with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and turned it gently. The crisp sound of "click" is the sound of the deadbolt beating. The key was drawn, the lock was opened, the chain was unfastened, and the door was easily opened. Ling Yige patted the dust on his body, walked out of the cell indifferently, picked up the Xuanji box and carried it behind his back. Duan Qingmeng shouted, "Brother Xiao Ling, help us out!"
Ling Yige took three steps back, kicked his right leg back, and the Xuanji box opened, and a golden golden sword flew out, holding it in his hand with his backhand. The three-foot golden sword swirled in his hand, and a cold light burst out from Ling Yige's eyes, and he let out a loud cry, and the golden sword in his hand waved.
The sword qi that shot out of the "bang bang bang" exploded into a rising smoke, and after a few bursting sounds, the iron locks in front of everyone's doors shattered one after another and scattered all over the ground. The men kicked the door open and flew out of the cell to retrieve their weapons, only to find that one of them remained in the cell. Na Chenglie still had his back to the crowd, sitting motionless in his cell. Ling Yige and Duan Qingmeng hurriedly shouted: "Brother Cheng Lie, come out quickly, if you don't leave again, if you delay the hour, waiting for the jailers to come back will inevitably be another fierce battle!"
Cheng Lie's back was a little vicissitudes, he muttered for a long time, half-tilted his head, and said with a long sigh: "I have no martial arts, and there is no need to stay in the Ten Ghost Hall." If I go out with you, I will be a drag on you. Go away, and leave me alone. Go find the hall master, find Ah Xue, and revive the Ten Ghost Hall, I have no regrets. ”
"No, the Ten Ghost Hall's life and death are shared, and we can't leave you alone. Feng Zhan's tone was extremely firm and unquestionable, "Besides, if we go and leave you here alone, the jailers will find out that you will definitely die." How can we watch you stay here and die?"
"If I had gone with you, I would have been the only one who might have lost my life. Qiu Lie laughed loudly, but there was a bit of reluctance and bitterness in that laughter, "Don't worry." How can I sit idly by and wait for the death of the Ten Ghost Demons and the Ten Ghost Sect to kill the Buddhas? It's just that I can't bother you anymore, so you can go with confidence, I will never sit still and wait for death. After you left, I left the government in disguise, found a Buddhist temple outside the city, shaved again, accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light, and became a bell-striking monk again, but I was dead, and I never asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes again. ”
"But......" Ling Yige wanted to persuade again, but Cheng Lie stopped: "There is no need to say more. If you really take me as a brother, let me go. What martial arts and internal skills, what disputes in the rivers and lakes, and what competition for fame and fortune have nothing to do with me. ”
Feng Zhan's expression was complicated, and he felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only arch his hand and say: "You naturally have the right to decide whether you want to stay or not, and the Ten Ghost Hall can't be stayed." I will explain to the master of the hall that you must be careful so that you can do it yourself. Everyone said so, so they could only bow goodbye together, look at each other, and leave quickly. Wen Nanzhi opened the way, and behind the demon hall in the umbrella, Duan Qingmeng pushed Feng Zhan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and Ling Yige was guarding on the side. The moment he walked out of the cell, two lines of tears rolled down Feng Zhan's slightly closed eyes, and the night was getting darker, and no one noticed. Ling Yige and Duan Qingmeng looked back and said softly, "Take care." ”
When everyone had already walked away, Qiu Lie, who was meditating cross-legged, bathed in the silver moonlight, slowly opened his eyes, and slowly stood up. There was no one else in the cell at this time but him. The cell door was blown open by the cold wind pouring in through the window, and he could have turned away, but Qiu Lie looked up at the silver plate hanging in the sky, and couldn't help but be intoxicated. The night is silent, only the breeze. The beard fluttered in the wind, Qiu Lie's trembling hands slowly folded, knelt on the ground, and read in his mouth: "The disciple becomes a martyr, a murderous nature, a lifetime of sin, karma is difficult to eliminate, martial arts are lost, suddenly enlightened, the heart is like a mirror, regret is beyond reach, the Buddha is above, lead the disciple, Qiu Lie pauses, and the cold moon will be west." ”
After that, Qiu Lie bit the index finger of his right hand, red blood oozed from the wound, his slightly trembling fingers slowly raised, his fingertips crossed the rough wall, and there was not a trace of dark clouds in the night sky of Lang Lang, but a bolt of lightning burst out, cutting through the long night. Qiu Lie left a suicide note, looked at the blood book on the wall, laughed loudly, raised his arms, closed his eyes at the full moon, and had a smile on his face, the meridians were retrograde, with a "poof", the meridians were broken, and a stream of blood burst out of his chest, splashed on the wall, and dripped down the wall, with a "boom", Qiu Lie's tall body fell and couldn't stand up again.
There was a lightning flash, and the cold light swept through the scarlet blood book on the wall, only to see that what was written on the wall was a poem: "The madman is thirsty for murder and the sin is deep, and it was originally a mirror to provoke mortal dust, but now it is a mundane matter, leaving only the bright moon and gallbladder." ”
The sun is setting, the cold night is at the beginning, the cold moon is in the sky, but the noise of Tanglin Mansion is not reduced in the slightest, but the street in front of the prince's mansion is extremely deserted, and the desert is creepy. Lanterns have long been hung in the prince's mansion, and candles have been lit, reflecting the night sky. The trembling steel blade in the hand of the sword snowman was broken, and it was difficult to cut through the light armor. And Luo Baiyi's hands were as scarlet as if they were soaked in blood, his wheezing sound became heavier and heavier, and there were more and more corpses under his feet.
The guards turned to the defensive, using their shields to block the two of them in the middle, and did not step forward to strangle them. Luo Baiyi's arm was sore, as if it weighed a thousand catties, and it was difficult to lift it, but he still stood in front of him, clenched his teeth, and didn't dare to relax. Dao Xueke's face and body were covered with blood, and the two of them were torn and covered with bruises, some of which had begun to heal, while others were still oozing blood.
As if they had received some order, the palace guards suddenly divided into two teams, put their swords back in their sheaths, their shields in front of their chests, and stood in line on either side. When Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi were puzzled, there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and several hidden weapons flew in front of them, and the two of them staggered to hide, but they were still wiped by the black and white mismatched light. Luo Baiyi and Dao Xueke took advantage of the situation to catch the hidden weapon, spread out their palms, and found that the rather fierce hidden weapon turned out to be a few bland chess pieces.
"What a hero. There was a burst of applause after the guards, and when the two of them heard the sound, they saw that the old man in brocade clothes and jade robes walked quickly. Luo Baiyi put away his posture and asked loudly: "Old man, who are you!
The old man smiled slightly, and replied humbly: "This king is the prince of Tanglin you are looking for, and he should be fine." ”
"You are finally willing to come out. Dao Xueke threw aside the remnant knife in his hand and said coldly. He had already tried his best to suppress the fire of hatred burning in his heart, and when he saw each other, his eyes were extremely red. The culprit who killed dozens of lives in his own family, and the culprit who had been calculating the Jade Buddha was standing in front of him, and there was clearly a killing aura hidden in his smiling eyebrows, how could Dao Xueke endure it?
Ying Wujian didn't care about the anger in the eyes of the two embarrassed young men in front of him, and waved his hand slightly, and the guards on both sides dragged the corpses all over the ground aside, leaving only the dazzling bloodstains on the other side, which were particularly dazzling. "They were all your subordinates, and now that they have died because of you, you treat them like this?" Luo Baiyi said indignantly.
"Those who achieve great things are not informal, and for the sake of the people of the world, sacrifice a few lives, what is the point? Ying Wujian said indifferently, it seemed that in his eyes, these people who died for him deserved it, and they died as they deserved, and they didn't need to care too much.
Dao Xueke sneered, and then asked: "They are your victims, Li Wenao and Mrs. Cui are also your victims, Qing Xuanqi is still your victim, are we, the Ten Ghost Hall and Xiao Wuxian Hall Master, and the dozens of lives of my Kexue Mountain Villa all your victims in your eyes!"
Ying stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at Dao Xueke's eyes with a trace of pity: "You are all heroes who sacrificed for the people of our dynasty, and on the day when this king achieves great things, he will build a platform and a monument for you, build an ancestral hall, and be worshiped by 10,000 people, and your name will go down in history and be famous for centuries!"
