Chapter 27: The Burning of the Yamen
Entering the death forbidden zone, Guo Yitian's eyes were dark. The Death Zone is a place where people talk about changing colors, and there is no entry or exit. Guo Yitian had no choice but to walk along the passage to see if there was an intersection to see if there was anything to go out. After going deeper, I found piles of white bones, scattered as if they had been attacked by fierce beasts. Guo Yitian suddenly felt a chill, he didn't know what would happen in the next second, and was about to go back, but found that the exit had disappeared.
The cave was dark, but it shimmered with a bright green light. Guo Yitian consciously knew that danger was approaching, and if he didn't act, he would be dismantled by the beast.
In the darkness, Guo Yitian drew his sword out of its sheath, shining like a torch, and even the appearance of a beast was illuminated. They are a pack of aggressive jackals with long tails and only one eye, the legendary one-eyed wolf. No one has seen what it really looks like, and everyone who has seen it has all died. This kind of fear makes people feel like a big stone pressing on the chest, which makes people suffocate.
The one-eyed wolf flew over, like a flood beast. Guo Yitian waved his sword, and the one-eyed wolf fell down a batch, but then another batch came. The key to dealing with wheel warfare is to conserve physical strength. The one-eyed wolf was as fast as an arrow, after a few attacks. Guo Yitian was bitten by three one-eyed wolves, and he couldn't get out, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.
Guo Yitian finally got rid of the three one-eyed wolves that were biting, and seven more one-eyed wolves pounced in between the precautions. They bit Guo Yitian's robe through several large holes. Guo Yitian wanted to use ten thousand swords to return to the sect, but his body was bound by the one-eyed wolf and he couldn't perform his ultimate. There was already a pool of blood on the ground, all of which came from Guo Yitian's wounds. After all, there were hundreds of one-eyed wolves. Guo Yitian mobilized his internal force, and the one-eyed wolf that bit his body was shaken away by a powerful wave of qi.
It was now embattled, though there were still a large number of one-eyed wolves in the darkness. Guo Yitian closed his eyes and felt the changes in the breath of the outside world. The one-eyed wolf only has prey in its eyes, so it is murderous. In this way, it is easy for kung fu masters to feel their position.
Guo Yi's angel swordsmanship in the falling wood Xiao Xiao style, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, beat the one-eyed wolf and retreated. But with the sheer number of one-eyed wolves, it is inevitable that they will be outnumbered. If you launch the Ten Thousand Swords to return to the sect, although you can kill the one-eyed wolf, its huge destructive power will also make the cave collapse, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Thirty-six plans are the upper ones. Guo Yitian quickly left the one-eyed wolf's control like a dragonfly, but at the same time entered the labyrinth. There are not even bones left there, and it is estimated that before this labyrinth, all those who lost their way were killed.
There were still torches on the wall, Guo Yitian concluded that someone must have been here, but he didn't know which master it was. Light the torch and there is finally a piece of light. Guo Yitian went around and found that there was no one in the maze, and there were not even any clues to be found. It's incredible. I want to get out, I just escaped from the encirclement of the one-eyed wolf, but I strayed into the maze again. Guo Yitian said to himself: Will I be locked up in this broken place for the rest of my life? No! There must be an exit, and I have to look for other exits.
It's been three days, but I still haven't been able to find an exit. Guo Yitian felt extremely disappointed, one wrong step, wrong everywhere, even the breathing was wrong. Moreover, in the outside world, Lin Xian'er and Bai Lang's life and death are uncertain, but they are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river - it is difficult to protect themselves.
When he was hungry, he went out to hunt a one-eyed wolf to satisfy his hunger, and he had meat to eat every day. As long as you live, you can see hope. Ru Mao's life of drinking blood has become the only way for Guo Yitian to survive. Although he was occasionally scratched by the claws of the one-eyed wolf, now that Guo Yitian was in a desperate situation, he could only let go of the distractions in his heart and not be intimidated by temporary difficulties.
A week later, Song Yuming began to pray that the governor of Zhang would move in the court masters and destroy the Humen in one fell swoop. But after waiting for a long time, there was no news. Song Yuming began to get anxious, but are all the masters of the imperial court out of nowhere?
"Dad, will the master of Ouchi not come?" Song Xiaojia said with a drum in her heart.
"No, it won't. Over the years, my father has bribed Governor Zhang, and we have a deep friendship. He will not ignore this, after all, the eradication of the rabble is a meritorious service to the imperial court, and he will not let go of this kind of opportunity. Song County Ling affirmed.
"Then why is there no information about their coming to Suzhou, is Governor Zhang treacherous?" Song Xiaojia then asked.
"He's not that kind of person, maybe he's a little delayed. Dad knows him very well, and the protection of officials is the unchanging iron law of the imperial court. If anyone is an enemy of his father, he will work against Governor Zhang. Governor Zhang did not rub sand in his eyes, and he had already dispatched troops to get rid of many small sects. It's only a matter of time before Humen gets rid of Humen, and it will come sooner or later. Song County Ling replied.
Then came the bad news, the back room caught fire, Song Yuming realized that something was wrong, so he immediately mobilized his servants to quickly extinguish the fire. They all took water from the yamen well and poured buckets of water on it.
Seeing that the fire in the back room was about to be extinguished, it turned out that the yamen lobby caught fire again. Song Yuming realized in a panic that this was definitely not an unintentional fire, but a deliberate arson.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the way to put out the fire is a drop in the bucket. The relentless flames engulfed everything, and everyone in the family didn't care about fighting the fire, so they just ran for their lives. But before he could leave the door, he was killed with a knife, and the method was extremely cruel.
When Song Yuming was about to abandon the house and escape with his family, he suddenly met two assassins. Song Yuming was shocked and said: "This official orders you to lay down your weapons, otherwise when the master of the Great Inner comes, all of your Humen will be slaughtered!"
Tiangang sneered, "Do you mean the content of this letter?"
Disha threw Song Yuming's handwritten letter to the ground: "Relying on the old and selling the old, I see who will die first!"
Song Yuming's pupils began to dilate because he was afraid, and he hurriedly sent someone to summon Murong Kong to catch his head and come out to control the enemy. Murong Kong put down his errand to put out the fire and rushed over.
"Young Master Guan said that he admired people with strong martial arts. If Murong Daxia is with us, I can show you a clear path. Otherwise, everything here and you will be reduced to ashes!" Tiangang said seriously.
"But I have one condition, that is, to let the Song family father and son go. Murong Kong discussed.
"......" Tiangang fell into deep thought, but there was not much time left for them, because the roof was about to collapse due to the fire.
"The family is ruined, what's the use of keeping an old life to survive?" Song Yuming put on a big husband's appearance of seeing death as home.
"No, just leave me alive, I can let Murong Kong join your Tiger Gate. Song Xiaojia begged, "Murong Zhutou quickly agreed to their request." ”
Just as Murong Kong was hesitating, the burned roof beam suddenly fell down, just killing Song Yuming. Murong Kong was shocked and blamed himself for failing to protect the Song County Order. Except for Song Xiaojia, everyone in the Song family who has seen the heavens and the earth has been killed. Tiangang finished his work and brushed his sleeves away, hiding his merit and fame.
The next day, the county ordered the yamen to be reduced to ashes, and the matter was well known in Suzhou. But they don't know the truth of the matter, some say that the fire is ruthless, some say that they died at the hands of the Demon Cult, but no one dares to tell the truth. Because there is a price to be paid for telling the truth, that is, the pursuit of Humen.
