Chapter 8: Beginner's Quest (5)
Caught off guard when he met Pang Fei here, He Ergou was taken aback, but what was puzzling was that the kidnapped innkeeper appeared here and was still whispering to Pang Fei. Could it be that there is a deal between them too?
He Ergou felt that his head was bigger, is this novice task so complicated?
Before finding out the situation, He Ergou still chose to hide and wait and see.
Martial arts masters have the ability to listen to people's breathing a hundred steps away, and they are the big disciples of the Carefree School, although their martial arts are lost, maybe this martial arts instinct is still there. Thinking of this, He Ergou held his breath and stared at the two of them, trying to hear what they were talking about.
"Buy and leave! Buy and leave!"
"Bet big! Bet big!"
"I've won again!"
......
Under his full attention, all He Ergou heard was the hearty shouts in the casino.
It seems that the martial arts instinct is gone......
Just when He Ergou was depressed, suddenly a person broke through the window and slashed at the eldest master with a sharp knife. The shock broke out suddenly, and He Ergou didn't have time to react, only to see Pang Fei's eyes and hands quickly, and he pulled past the old man and avoided this fatal knife.
The man rolled around and stood on the spot. The gamblers in the casino exclaimed in surprise and quickly scattered and fled, but they disappeared in a few minutes, and the casino that was bustling just now was instantly empty.
He Ergou briefly looked at the person, it was the gang of robbers he had scared a few hours ago.
Sure enough, Pang Fei and the eldest master only dodged, and several other robbers broke through the window at the same time, surrounded the two of them, and everyone drew their knives together, approaching the two step by step.
The eldest man trembled in a panic, regardless of the level of his voice, turned his head and said to Pang Fei beside him: "Escort me out, if you can protect me thoroughly, I will triple the price for you!"
"A word is a certainty!" Pang Fei pulled the collar of the eldest man, and with a slight click of his feet, he rose into the air, and jumped on the beam of the room with a slight leap.
Not only He Ergou was taken aback, but everyone present was taken aback, this Pang Fei had a round figure, and he was holding a big man with a big waist in his hand, and he had such light skills. Although He Ergou doesn't know martial arts, he can tell at a glance that this person's light skills are far above his junior sister.
I saw that the robbers performed light skills one after another, although they could not be like Pang Fei, but they could cut off the beams of the house, and the rest of the robbers hurriedly jumped forward, and when Pang Fei landed, they cut him into meat puree with a knife.
He Ergou said in his heart that it was dangerous, at this moment the beam of the house was broken, even if Pang Fei made light achievements, he couldn't fly out of thin air, as long as he toe to the ground, I am afraid that he will only have one life. The eldest lord was even more frightened, and his mouth screamed like a pig.
Seeing that Pang Fei was holding the eldest master in his hand, his body was getting closer and closer to the ground, and several sharp knives had already been handed over under his feet. Although He Ergou didn't know martial arts, he didn't want to see people die tragically in front of him, so he jumped out of hiding place and was about to shout to keep people under the knife.
Before the robbers had time to be surprised, his right foot stepped on the head of a robber, jumped out of the robbers' encirclement with his strength, and landed lightly, without even making a sound.
Including the robbers, the audience was silent, and everyone looked at each other, as if they had just enjoyed a shocking show. He Ergou reacted first, and couldn't help but applaud: "What a handsome light skill!" Pang Fei looked at He Ergou, smiled slightly, held the jade toad on the table in his hand, twisted it slightly, the floor under his feet suddenly opened, and a secret passage appeared, and Pang Fei pulled the old man and ran down.
The robbers glared fiercely at the eldest disciple of the Loose Sect, and then shouted and chased after him.
He Ergou was at a loss, but he didn't dare to enter the secret passage rashly, thinking about it, it was safer to meet Ling'er first. After making up his mind, he planned to go to the joint agreed with Ling'er. When he turned around, he was tapped on the shoulder.
"Let's go with it!"
It was Ling'er's voice, it turned out that Ling'er had come here a long time ago, but she didn't find the latent Ling'er at all, and sure enough, people without martial arts were not suitable for walking the rivers and lakes...... He Ergou didn't have time to sigh too much, so he followed behind Ling'er and entered the secret passage together.
"I didn't expect there to be a cave under this gambling house!" He Ergou walked in the long and narrow secret passage, looking at the faint torches on the stone walls on both sides, and couldn't help but think of the underground base of the villain in the movie.
"Yes," Ling'er said as she walked forward, observing her surroundings, "This Pavilion of Paradise is the largest and most luxurious gambling house in the Central Plains, and there are often dignitaries and wealthy merchants who come here for entertainment or to conduct some shady transactions. Unexpectedly, Pang Fei was also involved with the owner here. ”
"That old man is the owner of this?" The question that He Ergou was unwilling to face was confirmed.
"Yes, the owner of this family has always been rampant, relying on money to bully men and women, it can be said that he is the existence of a local snake, but because of its huge power, the government is not easy to come forward, he has many strongholds in Xiangyang City, and it is said that the inn in Xiangyang is also his handiwork. ”
He Ergou fell silent, it turned out that what he rescued was a wicked person who ate both black and white. "So these bandits are here to punish evil and promote good?"
"I'm afraid so. ”
As they spoke, they saw the light at the end of the corridor, and they stepped up their steps and probed all the way over.
When they reached the end, they both froze in place - at the end of the narrow corridor, there was a large circular chamber, roughly estimated to be able to accommodate at least a few hundred people.
"At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and it was only through people, and after repeating dozens of steps, it suddenly became enlightened......" He Ergou remembered the texts he had learned.
"Peach Blossom Spring?" He Ergou muttered to himself.
"What garden?" asked Ling'er as she looked at the tragic situation in front of her.
"Nothing. He Ergou also noticed the tragic scene in front of him - Pang Fei and the eldest master were hiding at the other end of the secret room, and in front of them, there was a big man.
He Ergou looked at the big man: he was more than a foot tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a fierce face, and a huge mace in his hand. Look at those robbers, they are already lying all over the ground, and the blood is flowing like a river, it is simply miserable. The first time He Ergou saw this kind of bloody scene, he couldn't restrain himself at all, and his stomach turned over and vomited.
He Ergou had never felt so sick to his stomach, looking at the torn flesh and smelling the smell of blood in the air, He Ergou's mind was full of immediately escaping from this purgatory-like place, but his legs were as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't stop spitting on his mouth, as if he had vomited out all the things that he had eaten in the month. It turns out that seeing the tragic situation of people dying with their own eyes is such torture......
Although Ling'er has seen a lot of fights in the rivers and lakes, she can't bear to close her eyes.
At this moment, only one of the robbers was still alive, that man was more than eight feet tall, his hair was scattered, a shocking knife wound pierced his face, and the cloth on his body was already in tatters, but he still stood firmly, holding a sharp knife in his hand, supporting his body and not wanting to fall.
The tall man dragged his mace and approached step by step, intending to end his life.
Ling'er shouted violently, jumped to Dahan's side, and slapped Dahan's face door with one palm, Dahan took a step back, raised his mace to block Ling'er's palm, and took a few steps back.
The eldest man behind him saw Ling'er make a move, and saw that Ling'er and He Ergou came together, pointed to the giant man who was more than a foot tall, and shouted at He Ergou: "He Shaoxia, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in the middle, this Xiao Long hero is here to protect me, and I ask He Shaoxia to explain to this woman." ”
"Misunderstanding?" He Ergou vomited red face, red ears, green tendons burst out, he held back his anger, and replied in a hoarse voice, "You are a local snake, you are simply a tumor of the country, the scum of society, I will save your life, you are good, hired someone to hurt so many lives!"
Although the eldest master couldn't understand some words in He Ergou's mouth that he had never heard before, when he saw that the matter was revealed, he didn't bother to pretend anymore, and laughed presumptuously: "Hahahahahaha, what Shaoxia said is very true, I do my business, and the government can't control me, but these reckless men from the mountains say that justice is served, and thanks to He Shaoxia saving me, I can continue to benefit the people!"
He Ergou was embarrassed and angry, but he couldn't say a word, just hot-headed, and rushed towards the big master like a brute bull.
Xiao Long stopped in front of him, his hand rose and fell, and He Ergou fell at his feet. His chest hurt hotly, it seemed that a few ribs had been broken, He Ergou spat out a mouthful of blood "wow", struggling to get up, but was trampled under Xiao Long's feet. Xiao Long looked condescendingly at He Ergou, who was struggling, and said disdainfully: "I originally heard them say that you are the eldest disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, and I was afraid that I would not be able to defeat you, I never thought that you would be so vulnerable, it seems that this Xiaoyao Sect is nothing great." ”
"You ......" He Ergou raised his head and glared at Xiao Long viciously, and before He Ergou could continue, Xiao Long slammed He Ergou's head on the ground with force, making him unable to move.
He Ergou began to feel a little dizzy because he vomited too much blood, and at this moment he was stepping on his head hard, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and in a trance. "Original...... Are the rivers and lakes so cruel?" He Ergou thought of those robbers with blurred flesh and blood, and thought of his good intentions to do bad things and save the devil who harmed one party, but instead harmed more lives, thinking of this, He Ergou used the last strength of his body, gritted his teeth and said: "Sooner or later, one day, I will make you look good!"
"Make me look good, I'm going to kill you today!" Xiao Long said contemptuously as he slammed his feet hard.
"Bully, your good days are over!" At the moment of crisis, Ling'er helped up the robber who was half-kneeling on the ground, and the two reached a consensus at some point and decided to defeat Xiao Long together.
The robber struck first, drew his knife and slashed at Xiao Long, the knife technique was aggressive and violent, only attacking but not defending, it seemed that he was ready to fight against the water and burn the jade. When Xiao Long saw that he had returned to his light, he knew that he had been seriously injured and that he would die of exhaustion if he delayed a little longer, so he didn't want to take any more risks, but he retreated again and again, looking for flaws in his sword technique, and occasionally took the initiative to attack.
Ling'er changed her reckless attacking style, just followed step by step, walked around Xiao Long, and didn't make a move, only when Xiao Long found the flaw and attacked with a stick, Ling'er attacked Pan Long from the side, forcing Xiao Long to withdraw the offensive and turn to defense.
He Ergou finally broke away from Xiao Long's control, rolled back a few steps with all his might, leaned against a pillar with difficulty, and watched Ling'er and the robbers fight with Xiao Long. "I must become a hero!" At this time, this was the only thought in He Ergou's heart.
Looking at Xiao Long again, he was forced by the robbers and Ling'er, defending hard, retreating one after another, and thinking about how to break through. Suddenly, the robber was physically exhausted, and he fell to the ground with only half of the knife. Xiao Long seized the opportunity and stopped, preparing to kill him with one blow. Because he knew that if he attacked, Ling'er would definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack, Xiao Long decided to only leave three points to defend, even if he was slightly injured, he had to kill this person first, otherwise he would miss this great opportunity.
After thinking about it, Xiao Long shot at the door of the robber, but Ling'er did not sneak attack, but blocked the robber head-on.
Xiao Long flashed a trace of astonishment in his heart, and then he was overjoyed, his raptor stick method was extremely strong, and he received a frontal move, even if he defended head-on, it was difficult to be unscathed, at this time, Ling'er hurriedly dodged in front of her, and this move could take her down.
Just as the mace was about to fall on Ling'er, Ling'er turned her fist into a palm, flipped her hands, pushed it out hard, took the stick head-on, took a few steps back, and finally stood still.
Xiao Long couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw that Ling'er took a baton from him but only took a few steps back. But when Ling'er made her first move, she slapped Xiao Long back again and again, but this time it was not so powerful, not only was the power greatly reduced, Xiao Long didn't even feel anything, and then she felt some comfort in her heart, I am afraid that she is already seriously injured at this moment.
Xiao Long was full of pride, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when suddenly there was a "pass", and the big man behind him spat blood and fell to the ground. Xiao Long turned his head, looked at Ling'er with an unfrightening expression, and asked, "Fight bullslaps across the mountain?"
Ling'er didn't answer, just stood there, looking at Xiao Long calmly.
Xiao Long has no certainty in his heart, the girl in front of him will beat the bull's paw across the mountain, then he may not really hurt her, and his employer is also dead at this time, it is better to leave early and not entangle. Thinking of this, Xiao Long hurriedly bypassed Ling'er and prepared to escape.
When he passed by He Ergou, he didn't forget to sneer: "The eldest disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, thanks to your ignorance and incompetence, you can let me go on a killing spree." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Long's burly figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Seeing that Xiao Long had left, Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and finally fell to the ground. Sure enough, Xiao Long's stick still made her seriously injured, just now she was just struggling to support, but in fact, she couldn't even speak. When I looked at the robbers again, it seemed that he was exhausted and had lost his breath for a long time.
In the end, Pang Fei picked up Ling'er and He Ergou and left the underground secret room.
Ling'er had already fainted, He Ergou was also seriously injured, and Xiao Long's words when he left rang in his head like an ancient bell. They were speechless along the way, and they didn't even ask about Pang Fei's identity and the whereabouts of Baoyi.
Out of the inn, Pang Fei performed light skills and took the two of them to fly the eaves and walk the wall, He Ergou was really physically exhausted, so he fell asleep, and he didn't care where Pang Fei was going to take himself and Ling'er......
