Chapter 40: The Sound of the Bowstring
After Li Yao killed Gong Shoucheng, he frowned when he saw that he was covered in blood, and thought about changing his clothes. But in a flash of inspiration, he came up with a plan, made a wooden shelf to put on his dirty clothes, and dressed it up with a mask and a wig, roughly humanoid, and then returned to the field with the dummy.
Li Yao chose a good position, leaned the dummy back against the tree, and deliberately exposed a corner of his sleeves and hair, and then spoke to Guo Xing. When Guo Xing walked towards this side step by step, he appeared on a tree behind Guo Xing in a flash, took out the star-chasing moon bow, pulled the bow with an arrow, and held the bow like a full moon, and the arrow aimed at Guo Xing's back.
Guo Xing approached the dummy made by Li Yao step by step, ready to make a sneak attack, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Li Yao's trap.
"What do you think of Brother Li?" Guo Xing's big knife in his hand suddenly slashed out, cutting down the tree and the people together! At the same time, the sound of the bowstring sounded, and the arrows whistled like a gust of wind, coming in an instant. As soon as Guo Xing realized it, the arrow had already penetrated his chest, like a wind blade blowing, leaving a huge hole. The arrow did not stop, and then shot straight into the ground in front of it, stirring up the sand and rocks, and smashing a large crater.
"I'll it, this power is too great!" Although Li Yao had seen the power of this star-chasing and moon-chasing bow, it was the first time that he had really used an arrow to kill the enemy.
Guo Xing supported his body with a long knife, looked at the dummy in front of him that was cut in half, and looked down at the big hole in his chest, wanting to speak but feeling that he couldn't breathe. Annoyance, unwillingness, remorse...... All kinds of emotions were intertwined in my mind very clearly before I died: I remembered my decades of practice, I thought of my brother who was in retreat, and I remembered the Yangchun noodles that I only had time to eat half a bowl when I went out this morning...... I only complain about myself, why don't I look at the yellow calendar when I go out today?
After waiting for a while, seeing that Guo Xing still did not fall, Li Yao cautiously looked five meters behind Guo Xing, worried that he was lying to himself closely, and waited until he saw a wisp of soul floating out of Guo Xing's body, and then he was convinced that this person was dead.
"The soul has not returned to the underworld. Li Yao looked at this soul that was exactly the same as Guo Xing's appearance and figure, and felt interesting, "So your limit in the book of life and death is not today." Then you are really unlucky, Hades wanted you to live a few more days, but you want to join in the fun today. Hey, I'm just too kind to let you suffer from that samsara. After speaking, he took the knife and slashed at the dazed-looking soul, slashing it to pieces.
"Another good deed, Amitabha. Li Yao put away the knife and began to grope for the Qiankun bag on Guo Xing. Di Qi Xing and Di Thief Xing watched blankly from the side, only to feel that her scalp was numb, and her whole body trembled, she actually killed someone and had to scatter his soul! It was just too ruthless! Look at her thin soul again, I was afraid for a while when I thought about it, I couldn't provoke it, I couldn't mess with it, and I couldn't make my master angry anymore if I said anything in the future!
"Phew, why don't you even have a Qiankun bag?" Li Yao looked puzzled, obviously looking at the big knife and shield that this person took out of the Qiankun bag before, why were they gone? and saw the big hole in front of Guo Xing, "No!" Li Yao finally figured it out, and the arrow just now actually smashed Guo Xing's chest and the Qiankun bag hidden close to him.
Li Yao was like a mourner, and felt that she had lost as much as 100 million stones: "Master Zu taught that you can't steal empty, and you can't take nothing at all." This went and broke out the big knife in Guo Xing's hand. Without support, Guo Xing's body finally fell to the ground.
"By the way, there is also my treasure arrow!" Li Yao hurriedly went to pull out the arrow she shot, but saw that the arrow body was broken and could no longer be used, "This bow is too domineering, and the Xuan-level arrows can't withstand it." "Thinking that I only have a total of thirty arrows, I will have one less if I use one, and I will definitely have to save some in the future.
Li Yao withdrew the blade he had thrown before in the woods, and looted all the valuable items on all the disciples of the Shouyuan Sect, and then drove the pony cart out of the woods with satisfaction.
"Master, master, it's easy to escape from their pursuit with your skills, why do you risk so much to fight them?"
Li Yao whistled disdainfully: "They are intent on killing me, if I don't try my best to kill them, it will be a disaster in the future." "In my heart, I was worried that the old husband in the Shouyuan faction, Elder Gong, would be unfavorable to my younger brother, and I thought that my younger brother was a personal disciple of the head of the sect, so there should be no danger in staying in the Shouyuan faction. On the contrary, he is the most dangerous one, and I don't know how many more such dangers I will encounter along the way.
"Master, I have a small inheritance supernatural power, if you learn it, your skills will definitely increase, and if you encounter this kind of blindness, you can easily destroy him. The Earth Thief Star immediately borrowed a pole to climb up, wanting to encourage Li Yao to learn his own little magic power to participate in the Hundred Demons War. At that time, with Li Yao's talent and means, he will definitely be able to get an excellent ranking, and he will be proud in front of his brothers.
"If you don't learn, if you don't learn, you don't learn!" Qi Xing had said this countless times in front of Li Yao. But as long as he thinks that if he learns these supernatural powers, he will have to help more than 100 people reshape his body when he becomes an immortal in the future, Li Yao feels extremely troublesome, "Even if I, Li Yao, starve to death on the side of the road and be hacked to death by others, I won't learn your bullshit supernatural powers!"
......
When Liao Yan returned to the barracks, it was almost noon. The two lieutenant generals, Ren Qiang and He Wei, welcomed him into the camp gate, and when they saw that there was an angry look on his face, they asked: "The general went alone this time, could it be that the Shouyuan faction still won't let him in?"
"Malegobi's, this time let Lao Tzu in. It's just that he hated Zhou Jianye, full of hypocrisy, but there was no truth. Liao Yan said hatefully, "Back then, the old head of the Xia family owed a favor to the ancestor, saying that as long as the subordinate of the ancestor took this token to the Shouyuan faction, he would definitely respond to his request." In order to resist the invasion of the demons, Lao Tzu was poisoned by the demons, thinking that his Shouyuan faction had a stubborn defense of the Yuan Gong and specialized in exorcizing demons and poisons, so he surrendered his identity and came to the door to ask for a look. It's just that looking at his broken book, it won't let his Shouyuan faction lose a bit, and besides, Lao Tzu also made a special trip to bring a generous gift, which is extremely polite. He Zhou Jianye is good, and he wants to clean up the matter when his master dies early. He said that he had never heard of this past kindness, and he had never seen this token, and that he clearly wanted to repay his debts! He also said that his stubbornness in guarding the Yuan Gong was the foundation of his Shouyuan faction, and he would not pass it on to others except for the heads of the previous dynasties. ”
After saying this, Liao Yan's hatred still couldn't be extinguished, he took out a piece of jade from his arms and threw it on the ground and smashed it: "Don't want this Shouyuan faction's egg token! Lao Tzu was born and died for this world, these dog-day sects only know how to hide in the rear to enjoy the blessings, and they also look down on us rough people." Malegobi, even if Lao Tzu can't kill him Zhou Jianye, he will be disgusted and disgusted with him. ”
Liao Yan summoned a group of soldiers: "In the past few days, my brothers have been squatting with me in this place where birds don't, and everyone has been suffocated." Pass on my order, today the whole army will go out to 'hunt', Lao Tzu will let him Shouyuan faction be restless within a radius of 100 miles!" all the soldiers cheered when they heard the word "hunting", and all of them came to their senses. After more than two years of fighting, the 50,000 Qi army is now less than 20,000 people, and they are tightly restrained by the top on the battlefield, so they can't fight a bloody way to come back alive, and if they don't indulge, they will really go crazy.
"Each battalion selected some experienced soldiers to go out to the front to find the way, and the army then pressed on. Liao Yan gave an order, and the generals of each battalion immediately took the order to go down to make arrangements.
"General, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter, we are making such a big fanfare, in case someone stabs us on it, and we will be condemned......" Deputy General He Wei has followed Liao Yan for many years, worried that things will make a big deal and cause trouble.
Liao Yan spat out a mouthful of phlegm and directly interrupted him: "I'm afraid of an egg! Lao Tzu has merit, what did he do by slaughtering some pigs and sheep? ”
"The battle between man and demon has just ended, so it's better to be cautious. The last general has a plan: a few days ago, we exterminated a nest of bandits in this neighborhood, why not let the vanguard change the clothes of the bandits, go to open the road under the banner of bandits, and our army will follow closely. If we can't stop making trouble in the end, we will only say that we are suppressing bandits all the way. Ren Qiang was scheming, and when he said something, Liao Yan laughed: "Okay, you are a bandit, it's interesting! Just do as you say, Lao Tzu will lead the troops to suppress the bandits!"
......
Li Yao walked leisurely on the road, and saw a village next to the road, where chickens and dogs smelled each other, and smoke curled up. At this time, it was noon, and Li Yaozheng felt a little hungry and drove the carriage into the village.
In the depths of the village, an old farmer was sitting in front of the house and was weaving baskets with strips. I would like to ask you how much food you have at home, so I can buy some to eat. ”
The old farmer raised his head and saw that it was a handsome young man, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, little official? In our rural farmhouse, there is no good wine and food, just some coarse tea and light rice, and if the petty officials do not dislike it, they will go into the house and have lunch together. ”
"What's so embarrassing about this?" Although Li Yao was polite, he honestly and unceremoniously parked the carriage next to the small courtyard of the farmhouse, said that he was disturbed, and entered the old farmer's house.
"Old woman, there are guests at home, prepare more dishes and chopsticks. As soon as the old farmer stepped into the house, he shouted at the top of his voice. An old woman came out of the kitchen and saw Li Yao: "The little boy with a good sign, I don't know which child's child it is? The old woman's eyes were dizzy, and she couldn't recognize it for a while." Li Yao smiled: "I was just passing by, I came to eat while I had a mouthful of food." ”
The old woman was happy: "It's rare to have guests at home, and the little boy can come to our door, and our old couple is very happy." But the house hasn't been cleaned up much, don't mind too much, little boy. The old man was not happy: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, why do you say so much, hurry up and cut a piece of bacon to cook." ”
Li Yao saw that the old farmer's house was simple, but it was clean, although there was no surplus, but it was happy. The two chatted, and Li Yao knew that the old farmer's surname was Chen, and he had an only son who worked in Gumu Town, and there were usually only two old people in the family.
"Is it still peaceful these years?" Li Yao asked again, thinking about the war in the past two years.
Old Master Chen sighed: "Taiping is quite peaceful, and the demon clan can't fight in our place." There is a bandit's den more than ten miles away, called Zhongyi Village, which only robs traders who come and goes, and occasionally comes to the village to borrow some food, but it does not hurt people's lives, and it can be regarded as a moral observance. On the contrary, the government's harsh taxes and forced labor in the past two years have become heavier, and these days have become more and more difficult. ”
When the meal was served, although there was only a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, a pot of boiled cabbage and a little pickled vegetables, Li Yao ate very deliciously, remembering the scene of eating at home as a family of four when he was young. Mr. Chen took out the home-brewed turbid wine to entertain Li Yao, this wine was turbid and bland, Li Yao was used to drinking good wine, but he was full of praise for this turbid wine, and the old couple talked and laughed and chatted and drank, and they were happy.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was loud. The village was on fire, with shouts, slashing, and cries...... Breaking the tranquility of the village. One person ran to Chen's old man's house and shouted: "Escape, the bandits have entered the village and killed people!"
