The thick clouds in the sky pressed towards the village, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, and even the birds did not come out to show their faces, hiding in their nests, and the wind and rain were coming.

More than 100 well-armed bandits stood neatly in front of the village, motionless and looking at the only way up the mountain. Finally, a slightly obscene-looking cottage in the crowd couldn't bear to be so quiet, poked the waist of the unusually tall thief next to him with his elbow, and whispered: "How many officers and soldiers do you say that the owner of the village can make the owner of the village come to meet the enemy today? It's strange to say, these shrimp soldiers and crabs who only have the advantage of their tongues have not dared to touch our moldy head for half a year, this time is that they have eaten a few more dishes and think that they can do it, hahahaha!" The tall thief who was accosted lifted the double axe in his hand, and said excitedly: "No matter how many people he comes, the axe in Lao Tzu's hand has long been impatient, and I can cut down a group of wine bags and rice bags with an axe casually." ”

The tall thief said with some excitement, not controlling his voice. A sharp gaze struck, and his majestic momentum immediately withered, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly. The place where the gaze pierced was in front of this gang of bandits. I saw that the man was wearing a green gauze horn turban, a blue-green robe, a leopard head and eyes, a swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, and an eight-foot long figure. This person's name is Zhang Zhong, and he is one of the people who went up the mountain and fell into the grass with Ye Ping, and his status in the gang plunder village is second only to Ye Ping, the owner of the village.

Zhang Zhongben is a small head of the local garrison soldiers and horses, although the life is not rich, but at least not worried about food and clothing, the elderly parents of the family are counting on him to be able to hold their grandchildren as soon as possible, who would have wanted to go to the street to buy vegetables one day, one drunk riding a horse on the street as if no one was running, the old man dodged and was hit by the head, killed on the spot, the old woman went up and pulled the man to cry and did not let him escape, did not want the man to raise his leg is to kick the old woman to the ground and walk away. When she returned home, the old woman was bedridden, extremely sad and injured, and followed her wife within two days. The old father's bones were still at home, and he was grieved again, Zhang Zhong hugged the old mother and cried dry tears. The lawsuit to the yamen was also over, just because the drunk man riding the horse was the son of the richest man in the local area, and the family spent money to get through the relationship and solved the murder case of two lives. Seeing that the yamen was sheltered and kept making excuses to prevaricate, Zhang Zhong was sad and indignant, and stayed at the place where the rich kid drank flower wine and directly took his life. Subsequently, Zhang Zhong was ironically wanted by the government on the charge of murder, and met Ye Ping on the way to escape, and reluctantly fell into the grass with him. Although the grass fell, Zhang Zhong never accompanied the burning, killing and looting, he was only responsible for practicing the martial arts in the village, and the rest was not asked.

Because Zhang Zhong is very serious and harsh in his usual exercises, how can these hot-tempered grass cowards stand being pointed at, and some people have come out to provoke several times, but in the end, they are all beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and finally they are convinced to pick up their tails and divide them. Zhang Zhong was called "Iron Mask" in the village, and there was very little expression on his face, but these grass cowards were very afraid of him.

Retracting his gaze, Zhang Zhong looked around, and a voice full of anger sounded, "Remember what I told you! Wait and try to avoid the key points, let the other party lose the ability to act, and lose the threat to you, you don't have to kill them all!" The people below responded very reluctantly, in the eyes of these vicious and murderous villains, the subordinates didn't know what the concept was.

Suddenly, there was a mournful sound of the flute near the bottom of the mountain, which was short in duration and in tone. It makes people feel like they are on the battlefield of tragedy, full of devastation, corpses are all over the field, with thousands of blood in their hearts to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, it is difficult to expect only a handful of white bones, condolences to their hometown, the old and young in the family cry together, and only get the dozens of taels of pension.

Everyone was immersed in the sound of the flute until the sound of the flute fell, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. There was no expected sound of hundreds of soldiers and horses walking in unison, some, just a handsome young man in a cloth shirt, holding a dark green bamboo Xiao, a red sword at his waist, and walking calmly in front of the village.

The atmosphere was awkward, and the bandits faced each other, staring at each other with big eyes, their eyes full of doubt, and the crowd suddenly burst into laughter. A voice sounded loudly, "Where did the little kid come from? Do you know where this is, I got lost and walked to the bandits' den, your grandfather and I haven't opened meat for a few days, and I just used you to beat your teeth, hahahaha." ”

Jiang Ye took Xiao in his arms, and before leaving, he found that there was a Xiao in the cabinet, the old man said that he made it with carefully selected bamboo, but after the accident of his son and daughter-in-law, he was not in the mood to continue blowing, but the first thing he did when he got up every morning was to wipe it carefully, and when he saw that Jiang Ye was interested, he gave it to him on the spot, and Jiang Ye immediately took it carefully like a treasure. The body of the flute is light, because the surface of the old man's daily wiping is extremely smooth, which makes people love it. He got the first Xiao in his life, and at the same time, he also embarked on the road of great pride for the first time in his life, alone, standing in a village!

In the face of the ridicule and contempt of the bandits, Jiang Ye did not show anger and impetuousness, but slowly stretched out one of his fingers, shook his head at the bandits and responded: "Heh! It's quite a big formation, shouldn't I feel lucky, it seems that you are coming to welcome me from the village, where is your village owner? Where are you hiding?" Although Jiang Ye was not frightened by this formation, Zhang Zhong, who was closest to him, made him secretly jealous, and from Zhang Zhong's body, he felt a dangerous aura.

Without waiting for Zhang Zhong to speak, the tall thief in the crowd who had just been accosted by a lewd man squeezed out, brandished a double axe, and rushed towards Jiang Ye with full momentum, roaring in his mouth: "The boy who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth dares to provoke us to plunder the village, today grandpa will use the axe in his hand to teach you a lesson!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ye shouted: "It's good to come!" After that, Chixiao came out of the sheath, although the sturdy bandit in front of him was extremely imposing, but the flaw was that his movements were bulky. Jiang Ye easily flashed the double axe, turned around and jumped up and kicked his feet behind him, because of inertia and this impact, the tall thief fell on his back, and just wanted to get up, only to see that the sword was approaching, the sword rose and fell, and his hands were stabbed and lost consciousness and could not move. Jiang Ye didn't kill him, and broke his tendons, so that he could no longer use weapons to harm people in the future.

Jiang Ye turned around and raised his sword to point at the group of thieves in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Who else?"

The bandits were all shocked, who would have thought that the tall bandits, who were twice as big as the boy in front of them, would be defeated in just one round, and they looked extremely relaxed. For a while, no one dared to step forward, and they didn't know how to respond.

Zhang Zhong looked at the young man in front of him, secretly appreciated in his heart, made a neat move, calmly saw the weakness of the other party and accurately thought of the move, what made him agree the most was that this young man did not kill the killer after controlling the enemy, and the martial arts in his heart have never been used to kill innocents indiscriminately. "If this son didn't dare to enter the village alone today, maybe he would be able to become a big weapon in the future, what a pity......"

Looking at the group of thieves who were shocked, Zhang Zhong shouted: "Array!" The voice was full of majesty, and the thieves reacted, and finally knew what they should do next, and everyone stood in their positions in an orderly manner. A row of shield-wielding bandits at the top, long halberd-like weapons in the center, swordsmen in the back, and archers at the end, are interlocking, combining the strengths and weaknesses of all weapons themselves. This formation was made by Zhang Zhongpai, and it was precisely by relying on this formation that Gang Plunder Village was able to survive so many encirclements and suppressions by the government. This formation is called "Thousand Weapons Array", Zhang Zhong personally sits in the center of the array, and there are countless bandits with different weapons in the outer circle, and there are many ways to attack, the most powerful is that this array can change dozens of types of formations, making it impossible to figure out its rules.

Jiang Ye looked at the bandits who had already lined up in front of him, felt the unprecedented pressure, carefully observed the mystery of this formation and thought about the method of cracking it, this was the first time he should deal with the magic of the formation.

Hundreds of bandits showed the strength of thousands under the blessing of the formation.
