Chapter 9 Fighting for the Tiger
The noise coming from outside the mountain temple almost made Jiang Hanlin pee his pants in fright.
He's just bragging, isn't he?
The commander of the Xiao family's guards was the first to react, holding a long knife in front of Miss Xiao and the housekeeper, and shouted: "Who is outside!"
Outside the mountain temple, an old voice chattered and laughed: "If you don't take the road, you have to take the path of this barren mountain and wild mountain, but you let me find it."
But it's okay to deal with you in this place, and you won't have to deal with the traces anymore. ”
The old housekeeper of the Xiao family said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know who you are, do you know that my master is a five-rank Beijing official!"
If you dare to touch us, aren't you afraid that you will be held accountable by the Jing Ye Division in the future?"
The man laughed strangely: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but it's precisely because of the relatives of the five grades that it's worth seven thousand taels of silver!"
As the man's words fell, the decaying wooden door outside the mountain temple was completely overturned, and dozens of corpses appeared in front of everyone's eyes!
The corpses had horrible faces, and some of them had even decomposed.
But at this time, they were like living creatures, wearing tattered armor, and their bodies were stiff and approaching the crowd.
Gu Cheng looked at Jiang Hanlin: "This is what you call a zombie?"
Jiang Hanlin shook his head tremblingly: "No, these things can't be considered zombies, just wandering corpses."
Cultivators who are good at refining corpses divide zombies into seven levels, namely wandering corpses, white zombies, black zombies, purple zombies, flying zombies, immortal bones, and luans.
Zombies don't rot, and white zombies also grow white hair and claws, and their physique speed is amazing.
Some of these corpses have decomposed, have not undergone significant changes, and are just the lowest level of wandering corpses. ”
Although Jiang Hanlin loves to brag, he still knows a lot about the cultivation world.
Han Jingjing immediately said on the side: "Senior brother, didn't you say that you killed those zombies with a sword in your hand, let alone these wandering corpses, if you feel that the single sword is not smooth, my sword can be lent to you, senior brother." ”
Looking at Han Jingjing, who handed him the sword in front of him and admired him with a serious look on his face, Jiang Hanlin suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
Senior sister, you deliberately manipulated me, right?
Jiang Hanlin didn't take the sword, but shouted: "Outside, we are not with them, you kill us without a reward!"
The voice laughed strangely: "It doesn't matter if he has a reward for silver, let you go, if the eagle dog of the Jingye Division knows, the old man will have to be a ground mouse for a while."
If you want to blame it, blame your bad luck, go feed the old man these little treasures!"
Han Jingjing pulled Jiang Hanlin's sleeve with some anger, and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother, why are you like this? Didn't you say that it is the duty of my generation of martial artists to hoe the strong and help the weak and eliminate demons?"
Jiang Hanlin said helplessly: "Senior sister, you should be sober!
The only weakness of these wandering corpses is that they move slowly, and if they are placed outside, as long as you give your senior brother and me a horse, I can solve them all.
But here, the mountain road is difficult to walk, the area is narrow, and dozens of wandering corpses pounce together, who can stop it?
Moreover, these corpse refining cultivators always like to put corpse poison in corpses, and if they encounter half a life, they will be gone.
It's not that the senior brother doesn't want to help, but the strength doesn't allow it. ”
The commander of the Xiao family's guards snorted coldly: "You retreat, go down the mountain from the back gate of the temple, we will resist! Draw arrows and shoot!"
As he spoke, the captain of the guard and the other five guards drew their bows and arrows to fend off the wandering corpses.
However, there were too many of them, and as long as they didn't hit the head, they could still move on, and the six bows and arrows could only slow them down for a while.
But with their bows and arrows in the way, the crowd had time to escape through the back door.
But at this time, the five fingers in the mountains and forests were missing, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and the speed of everyone was also dragged very slowly, and the group of wandering corpses behind them was about to catch up.
At this time, the scholar Zhao Xinghua suddenly said: "I know that there is a shortcut to go down the mountain, everyone come with me, as long as we get to the open road, those wandering corpses will not be able to catch up with us." ”
Jiang Hanlin was suddenly overjoyed: "Really, then we can be saved!"
As he spoke, he pulled Han Jingjing to go with Zhao Xinghua, but Gu Cheng and the young lady and housekeeper of the Xiao family did not move.
Gu Cheng suddenly said: "Don't go, that scholar has a ghost." ”
Zhao Xinghua was dissatisfied: "This brother, I was kind enough to save you, but you said that I have a ghost, I really don't know the hearts of good people."
Forget it, you guys continue to resist the wandering corpse here, I'll run away first, don't blame me for not being moral. ”
With that, Zhao Xinghua walked to the depths of the dense forest.
Jiang Hanlin looked left and right, there were wandering corpses on one side, and life on the other.
Besides, Gu Cheng had been low-key before, and he also thought that Gu Cheng was just a wanderer who did not enter the stream, so he took Han Jingjing and followed Zhao Xinghua.
Han Jingjing hesitated a little and said, "Senior brother......"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly, or it will be too late!"
Gu Cheng shrugged his shoulders when he saw this.
When encountering this kind of thing, Gu Cheng doesn't mind helping out if he can.
But he's not a bad person, so if people don't listen to him, what's the solution?
However, before Jiang Hanlin could walk for long, a deafening tiger roar suddenly came from there, mixed with the screams of Jiang Hanlin's brothers and sisters.
Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing fled back in embarrassment, and behind them, a giant eye-catching tiger full of markings and a huge body chased after them, and the scholar Zhao Xinghua followed behind the tiger, surrounded by yin qi.
Just now Zhao Xinghua told a story about fighting for the tiger, in fact, he is the ghost who plays for the tiger!
Gu Cheng has always been accustomed to being good at observing words and feelings, and in the series of conversations just now, he found that this scholar was full of lies.
The imperial examination will only be held next year, so what is he doing in the capital this year? Obviously he has enough time, but he is a scholar who has no power to walk through the paths.
And he was obviously lost, so how did he know the path now?
The words are inconsistent, and the demeanor is uncomfortable, and it is clear that there are ghosts.
At this time, the fierce tiger jumped and was already rushing towards Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing, the speed was extremely fast, and even a dark yellow phantom could only be seen in the dark night.
"Senior sister, you go first!"
Jiang Hanlin likes to brag, he is not very reliable, and he is also timid and afraid, shouting about the way to eliminate demons and defend the way, but in fact, when he encounters danger, he wants to protect himself.
But at this time, the real danger was ahead, but he stopped in front of Han Jingjing, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and his Qingyuan Cold Light Sword of the Qingyuan Sword Sect unleashed it, and the tip of the sword stabbed out with a little cold light.
However, the eyes of the eye-catching tiger showed a touch of extremely humane disdain, and it changed to a claw, and the claw collided with the long sword, making a loud explosion of gold and iron, and the power was so great that Jiang Hanlin retreated step by step.
Jiang Hanlin's Qingyuan Cold Light Sword is best at stabbing the opponent's vital points when facing the enemy, and what he pays attention to is a swift and ruthless disease.
But his opponent is a fierce tiger, where is the key point? Jiang Hanlin can be said to be inexperienced.
And Gu Cheng could see that although this Jiang Hanlin was stronger than him, he had not yet reached the eighth rank, it should be the peak of the ninth rank, and his strength was far inferior to that tiger.
At this time, the eye-catching tiger suddenly flicked its tail, and the tiger's tail whipped like a steel whip.
Jiang Hanlin didn't expect the tiger to have such a move, and he was directly pumped out of his mouth and spat blood, rolling to the side.
Han Jingjing cried and helped Jiang Hanlin up, and begged at Gu Cheng: "Brother Gu, save Senior Brother!"
The old housekeeper and Miss Xiao were powerless, only Gu Cheng seemed to be a cultivator, and she could only ask Gu Cheng for help, and regretted that she didn't listen to Gu Cheng's words.
Gu Cheng glanced at the approaching corpses in front of him, and then at the eye-catching tiger behind him, he estimated his current hole cards, and walked out with the hilt of his sword in his hand.
It was his turn.
