Chapter 132: The Four Murderers in the World
When all the men and women had gone away, Yu Tianlai gathered together the dozens of war horses left by the Mongol soldiers, threaded them with ropes and bridled them together, and then rode on one of the horses and drove the horses in the other direction.
When he had traveled more than thirty miles, he sprang up from his horse, passed above each horse at great speed, and struck it the horse's back with his whip.
The horses went berserk under the pain, and continued to gallop forward despite their exhaustion.
After Yu Tianlai landed, he once again chose another direction to leave. He believed that with this arrangement, the Mongols would always be led astray by the pursuers, and by the time they caught up with the herd of horses, it would be too late to chase after those who had fled.
He continued to hurry in the direction of Xiangyang, because this section of the area belonged to the area where the Song and Mongolia borders, and the perennial wars caused a no-man's land, so at night Yu Tianlai had to sleep in the wilderness again.
After choosing a shelter as usual and satisfying himself with the dry food he brought with him, Yu Tianlai sat cross-legged beside the fire to breathe and recuperate.
Time passed little by little, Yu Tianlai always maintained a posture of staring and cross-kneeling, and his mind seemed to have been immersed in the realm of no one and no self. Gradually, the fire beside him underwent strange changes, and there was a faint green color in the faint flames that were already a little flickering and extinguishing, and Yu Tianlai's face was also covered with a faint layer of green energy.
Yu Tianlai suddenly opened his eyes, his face was full of anger, and his tongue burst into a thunderstorm and shouted: "Where is the rat generation hurting people with secret arrows, get out of the poor monk!"
His voice echoed in the dark night like a great bell and a great lu, shaking the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees, and many birds and beasts fled in fright.
A strange smile of compassion came from the darkness in the distance, and then four figures appeared and slowly walked in.
These four people look like they are not afraid of people. A body is as strong as a bamboo pole, but a head is huge, and the gaze in the two triangular eyes is extremely cold, and the whole person is like a poisonous snake staring at its prey; a thin body is as thin as a bamboo pole, but a head is extremely large, and the whole person is like a poisonous snake staring at its prey; a body is thin and shriveled, as if only a skeleton is left in the whole body, and a long face is as cold as a stone, without the slightest expression; a short stature, but a pair of long arms similar to Yu Tianlai, and a small face that is only slightly bigger than a slap Although there is a smiling expression, the smile faintly reveals a bit of dangerous madnessγ
"The four murderers in the world!" Although Yu Tianlai has been cultivating in the Shaolin Temple over the years, he is not ignorant of things outside the window, and often uses the information channels of the Shaolin Temple to understand the situation in the rivers and lakes and even the world.
"Man Bear" He Liansheng, "Poison Jiao" Ma Guang, "Iron Wolf" Mu Changliang, and "Demon Ape" Sun Wunu, although these four people have different backgrounds and come from Tiannan and Haibei, they are the same ferocious and tyrannical. Later, they somehow met together, and they actually smelled like each other and became brothers of the opposite sex, and since then they have relied on each other and acted more and more unscrupulously, and gradually broke out of the name of "four fierce beasts", and everyone in the world talked about the tiger's color change.
The "human bear" He Liansheng, the head of the four murderers, laughed and said: "I didn't expect that you, a little monk, had also heard of the name of the master, so he rushed to this point, and today the master will make an exception to give you a happy death!"
Yu Tianlai still maintained a posture of sitting cross-legged, holding a tin staff in front of him with his left hand, and said lightly: "Although the 'Four Murderers in the World' are notorious, it is not so easy to take the life of a poor monk. β
"Poison Jiao" Ma Guang sneered: "Don't pretend. We have seen the corpses of those Mongols, and with your exquisite swordsmanship and profound skill in killing with sword qi, you are indeed qualified to say such things. It's a pity...... Do you still have the strength to draw your sword at this moment?"
Yu Tianlai's face changed, and then he asked with a wry smile: "How did you track down the poor monk, and when did you poison it?" The poor monk thinks that he is careful in everything, why is he still unknowingly tricked?"
"Demon Ape" Sun Wufu smiled angrily: "How can you speculate on my brother's methods? My second brother put the unique secret medicine 'Hua Gong San' on a few moths, and the moths died in the fire, so they also scattered the poison into the fire. β
Yu Tianlai nodded and said: "I see, it's really a good means, and the poor monk admires it." β
The "iron wolf" Mu Changliang, who has always been silent, is the core figure among the four fierce beasts, he saw Yu Tianlai talking with a calm expression, not like a person in a desperate situation at all, his heart immediately became alert, and immediately shouted: "Don't talk nonsense with him, hurry up and get his head, and then find the Mongols in exchange for a bounty!"
Sun Wu was furious for a moment, but he still obediently pulled out a dagger from his waist and approached Yu Tianlai with a cruel smile.
Seeing that the other party was about to attack him, Yu Tianlai stopped talking, and closed his eyes with a low Buddha number in his mouth, as if he had given up his efforts.
At the moment when Yu Tianlai closed his eyes, the "iron wolf" Mu Changlu's eyes flashed hurriedly, and he suddenly grabbed a flying knife from the leather sheath of the long flying knife with a handle side by side at his waist, and turned into a faint light and shadow towards Yu Tianlai's throat between his hands.
Yu Tianlai opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed his right hand in front of him, and accurately grasped the flying knife in his palm.
Seeing Yu Tianlai's movements, the other three fierce beasts were shocked at the same time, and Sun Wunu flipped backwards with a somersault, shouting, "It turns out that you are not poisoned!"
Yu Tianlai casually threw the flying knife on the ground, slowly stood up, put the tip of the tin staff with his right hand, slowly drew the sword out of the sheath, and said coldly: "If a little poison can put the poor monk down, the poor monk has died many times." β
The sharpness of his five senses is more than ten times that of ordinary people, and the four fierce beasts have been heard by him in the distance, and although the "poisonous Jiao" Ma Guang has used the means of poisoning the moth, the extremely faint smell emitted by the poison cannot hide his nose, and he has already closed his breath in the morning. It turned out that he wanted to retaliate with a trick against the other party, but he didn't expect that the "iron wolf" Mu Changliang would be so cunning and vigilant.
The four fierce beasts exchanged glances with each other, and each took out weapons from their bodies, the "Man Bear" was a pair of three-bladed claw knives with a foot and a half length on their hands, the "Poison Jiao" was two two-foot long conical steel thorns, the "Iron Wolf" was a broad-bladed short knife, and the "Demon Ape" was a nine-foot iron rod composed of three short sticks.
Although the trick failed and they knew that the other party was strong, the four fierce beasts still had no intention of stopping. After all, the four of them are also masters of cultivation, and after the four of them colluded to form a sworn friend, they have not yet encountered an enemy that the four of them can't control together.
