Volume 1 Shadow Chapter 22 The Siege of the Ai Family

Xiangsha City, originally a small town in Xiangcheng, formed an indestructible sand wall between it and Xiangcheng due to a land movement. Later, after 3,000 years of wind and rain baptism, it exchanged views with the guests of honor in the main city, and has developed into a large city of Tuozhou, which is more famous than Xiangcheng. The powerful families in Tuozhou are all built in this city.

The sand wall is about 100 zhang high and hundreds of miles crossed. At the top of the wall is a very flat sand road, standing on the sand road, you can overlook the panoramic view of the two cities. On weekdays, many monks gather here to do some overt and covert transactions. At the beginning of this day, three rays of light landed on the sand road, the light converged, and four figures appeared, and the four people who came were the four people who came.

As soon as the four of them landed, a brighter golden light swooped down like lightning. Zhong Zhen snorted lightly and jumped behind Yue Chen, who clasped a talisman and stared at the object.

He concluded: "Brother Yue, Master Zhong, don't panic, this is the messenger parrot I have sent." As he spoke, he made a gesture of his hand, and the golden light fell into the palm of the knot's hand. At the end of the day, he took off the letter and watched it with the two of them. I saw the two of them looking at each other, and their faces changed slightly. After a while, the two of them sang a Buddha horn at the same time, and concluded: "Brother Yue, Senior Brother of this sect has an order, and the two of us must go to the rendezvous." I had to say goodbye to the two of them. ”

Yuan said: "Two donors, be careful. ”

Yue Chen clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother! The two of us must be wary of the surrounding situation!" But he secretly said in his heart: "I was specially reminded that I should be referring to the people of Taiyi Mansion." If someone from Taiyi Mansion really appears, how can I be an opponent? It seems that I still have to find a senior brother!"

The two recited a Buddha name again, and Yukong left.

Zhong Zhen looked at the two departing golden rays and said, "Looking at the direction these two monks are heading, they should have gone to Lizhou." Brother Yue, what should we do?"

"Brother Zhong, did you hear any news last night, before Senior Brother Yuan appeared?"

Zhong Zhen shook his head and said, "No, I just identified that group of people, it should be the largest force in Luochengβ€”Fire Rat Hall." Before I could get closer, a gust of wind blew, and I felt numb in my waist, and I didn't know anything. When I woke up, under those three trees, a fat monk was looking at me and smirking. But....... ”

"But what? haven't you seen them?"

"Brother Yue, what kind of Taiyi Mansion, will there be a monk?" Zhong Zhen's memory seemed to be very confused, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "This group of monks must not have entered my compound. A group of monks who entered my compound should not have been with them all the way. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Listening to the words of these two little monks, they should not be lying. There were indeed more than a dozen monks in my house, but now that I count it, it was more than a month ago, and there were no two fat people like this at all. Zhong Zhen lowered his head and groaned, and said slowly, "Actually, there is also a masked man who came with these monks. They talked to my father about the night before leaving. ”

"It turns out that the masked man you have always suspected is the one who has been to your house, and you suspect which shopkeeper. However, in order to prevent us from tracking down your father, you still chose to hide it. Brother Zhong, don't worry, I will never tell this to Senior Brother Zongmen. It's just that you have to take care of yourself. Yue Chen patted him on the shoulder and continued, "Judging from what we know now, the people of the Maha Temple must have found out the true identity of which group of monks, and at the same time, they have also found out about your father's mother, and they deliberately leaked a little bit of information to me. The fact that the Maha Temple didn't take you away is probably because you really don't know anything.

Now, my biggest question is, how many days did we both spend under the waterfall?

If Brother Jie is right, he must have said the time when we disappeared, and you said that you fell asleep three days later, then we probably slept for four days at the same time.

If this is the case, then what has happened in the past four days? For example, Brother Zhong's Jade Mansion Ice has melted, and how did my poison dissolve? ”

When Zhong Zhen heard Yue Chen say this, he unconsciously touched his lower abdomen and said, "It seems that there is really no such cold feeling." After a pause, he asked, "Brother Yue, are the two monks really credible?"

"Totally credible! Not for anything else, but because they mentioned a man, the holy monk of the Mahadian Temple. This person is worthy of most of the elders of the Juezi generation. Therefore, there is no need to lie to the two of us. Because seeing the holy monk is enough to control the overall situation. ”

Zhong Zhen took a long breath and said, "I won't mention a word about my family." However, things really started to change in Luocheng, and it had to be counted seven months before you and your senior brother came to the city. The root cause of all kinds of things is because a batch of ancient and ancient artifacts flowed into the territory of Fenglin Continent. That night, the monks and masked people who came to my house were looking for an artifact called 'Refining Heaven Coffin'. As he spoke, Zhong Zhen glanced at Yue Chen and said, "They also scolded you Chengming Sect together! Yes, although you took everything from the main tomb, you still left dozens of ancient artifacts, which is definitely retribution or something." ”

"Haha......!" Yue Chen suddenly laughed heartily, and his laughter gradually stopped, and said: "Judging from the Holy Fire Dragon, the Golden Phoenix, the Heavenly Refining Coffin, the key in the hands of the 'Seventh Master', etc., the various forces that come to Fenglin Continent are all needed by their own plans. No wonder, the two of them also went around.

Brother Zhong, I can now conclude that the Maha Temple, the Taiyi Mansion, and our three factions of the Chengming Sect are definitely not here for these things. Their true intentions are known only to the principals of each faction. Moreover, this matter can only be known to these three factions, and I am afraid that the three major factions of the Demon Sect, Dragon Phoenix City, and the Ten Peerless Mountain Villas do not know the details. ”

At this moment, when Zhong Zhen was just about to ask, suddenly, under the sand wall on the side of Xiangsha City, more than ten fires were lit. At each pile, there was a lot of noise and torches waving. It seems to be a kind of sacrificial ritual.

Zhong Zhen looked up at the sky and said, "Brother Yue, this is a sacrificial ritual for the alliance of local forces. ”

"Oh? What does that mean?"

This means that they have a common goal, and the terms for the division of the money between the gangs have been set. As far as I know, this kind of action will be done that night. Moreover, there are only those three that are worthy of so many gang alliances in Xiangsha City. I don't know, it's the family that is going to meet bad luck. ”

Yue Chen thought for a moment and said, "This may be an opportunity. ”

Zhong Zhen smiled and said, "Well, with the character of your senior brother, you will definitely go to see the excitement." However, if you want to be unaware, you have to blend in with these small gangs. Brother Yue, can you bear some suffering?"

"I was originally a farmer's child, and I suffered a lot from snacks. That's not a big deal for me. It's just that Brother Zhong has any good plan to make us blend in with one of them?"

"Brother Yue, do you remember the first time you saw me?" As he spoke, Zhong Zhen took out some black silk and other things from a cloth bag in his waist, shook his hand, and said, "That's it." It's just that your clothes are more troublesome with the Ruyi bag. However, this is all in the middle of the night, and the clothes are fine, so the Ruyi bag must be put away, so that no one can look at it or touch it. ”

"Brother Zhong, have you done this before?"

"Didn't the fat monk say that I have been following my father since I was a child. Actually, things like this are our favorite ones. As long as you take a good measure, the harvest is usually not small. ”

"What do you mean, many of these people are masters of fishing in troubled waters?"

"Almost!" Zhong Zhen laughed and said, "Come, I'll dress you up." Also, I've already chosen a faction, which one is furthest to the right. When there are more of them, their eyes are more mixed. ”

Although Yue Chen came from a humble background, he had never seen this kind of thing, let alone done it. I had to do what Zhong Zhen said. After Zhong Zhen cleaned up the two, the two tiptoed down.

When the two of them touched the darker place, they heard someone say, "Hey, Wang Erzhuang, how many rings does the Ai family have?" Is it possible for us to get one, so that we can pass on the ancestry!" More than a dozen people next to him laughed. One person replied: "You better go to the sow! If you want to divide the little girls, even if one person divides them into a dozen pieces, it is not enough." Look at the beauty that gives you away. As soon as these words came out, they were foul language and laughter.

Zhong Zhen quietly took Yue Chen to a place where there were few people, and said softly: "Okay! Let's stay here, wait, you'd better not talk, I'll handle everything." ”

As soon as Yue Chen said "um", two people walked by, one was full of leprosy, and the other had a terrifying scar on his face. Scarface shook his head, and the leper-faced person looked like he was smiling, stepped forward lightly, and searched the two of them. It took a while before he got up and said a few words to Scarface. Without saying a word, Scarface rushed up and kicked Zhong Zhen violently, and then smashed his fist into Yue Chen's face. Yue Chen was in a hurry, and wanted to fight back, but he was pulled by the person next to him, and immediately changed his posture to hug his head and protect his face.

Scarface smashed a few punches, and said angrily: "Two poor ghosts! Don't think you can really empty gloves white wolf." Wait, if you don't rush forward, I'll take your wonton broth. Before leaving, he kicked the two of them a few more times before he was reconciled. What Yue Chen didn't expect was that as soon as this person left, four more waves of people came, but fortunately, they were all only searched, and no longer kicked and beaten.

After the fourth wave left, Zhong Zhen only smiled and said, "It's time to come, we are safe." Next, they must get into action. Strangely, they dealt with the Ai family as much as possible. In fact, the Ai family has done the most evil in the past generations. But today's head of the Ai family has done a lot of good things, and, under his control, he has never heard of the Ai family doing anything to rob the house. Come to think of it, there must be something strange inside. ”

As he spoke, a low dark sound came, and there were only nine of the dozens of torches that had been illuminated. The people in this faction began to quickly stand in small detachments, at the mercy of a certain ladder. Immediately after, the dark scream turned into a loud roar, and everyone began to run rapidly.

Yue Chen was completely pulled by Zhong Zhen to stop or run, and at the same time, Zhong Zhen followed with someone who whispered and made a strange sound. Yue Chen felt that they were calling very happily, and there was an inexplicable sense of strangeness in his heart. Walking at night, Yue Chen couldn't tell the southeast and northwest, and wanted to ask Zhong Zhen several times, but Zhong Zhen stopped first. Zhong Zhen also didn't allow Yue Chen to look left and right, and was only allowed to bow his head to go.

After running for nearly half an hour, the team gradually stopped and disappeared into a forest in an orderly manner. Looking into the woods, under a rockery about twenty miles away, the lights were bright and the figures were floating. The high-walled compound hidden under the rockery looks extremely calm at the moment.

Suddenly, thirteen unusually dazzling torches were thrown from different directions at the same time. Immediately afterward, shouts of murder erupted, and a group of outlaws rushed towards the compound like mad dogs.

And along the way of Yue Chen, suddenly one person ran back, and the rest of them looked stupid in place. Scarface shouted violently, and the more than ten people he led, except for the one who ran first, were all full of strength and rushed forward. Scarface scolded angrily and said, "I'll let you know how I got mixed up." Leper, follow me to the fruit, which kid. "Scarface and Leper Face didn't take ten steps before they were knocked unconscious to the ground, and they saw which of them was so fast that they tied each other with their belts and tied them to the ground.

"Brother Yue, it's okay! The reaction is fast enough! It's just that with your Taoism, it won't be a problem to deal with this group of people!"

"Brother Zhong, are you familiar with this area? I think we should not mix with these people again, but find a new way forward. Let's see if I can meet my brother. ”

"I've never been here. Why don't we go ahead and see what happens?"

Yue Chen nodded, tore off the things on his face, hair, and clothes, tidied them up a little, and said, "These ground snakes are really amazing. It's rare to be so neatly moved. It's just that it's a bit of a pity that it didn't use it on the right path. He said to Zhong Zhen: "In my hometown, this kind of thing has never happened. ”

The two of them walked along the road just now, and after walking ten miles, they could see the fighting scene outside the high wall. Limbs flew wildly, heads rolled off, and wails were incessant. The rabble that rushed forward in the previous group had been slaughtered by the elite guards of the Ai family. The rest of the people have to flee for their lives. The group of people who rushed over later was obviously different. In just a quarter of an hour, as many as five of the Ai family's guards fell.

Seeing this scene, Yue Chen only had a feeling of helplessness. Obviously, the current situation is not the time for him to think. After hard observation, it was found that there were two places in the Ai family's compound that were extremely quiet, and there were no torches to illuminate them. In the third place, there are several figures floating.

At this time, Zhong Zhen nudged Yue Chen and said in a low voice: "Brother Yue, do you have any strange feelings when you listen to the north?"

Yue Chen let out an "oh", retracted his thoughts, and listened quietly. I only heard an extremely high-pitched shout, repeatedly shouting "rush" and "kill", and upon closer listening, this voice seemed to be no different from making fun, and it was incompatible with other people's shouts. Yue Chen snorted lightly, "Senior Brother Ouyang?"

Zhong Zhen smiled weirdly and said, "You, senior brother, are much more experienced than you. Pretending to be more like me. But let's not go over it yet. At present, the fact that important people on both sides have not yet participated in the killing shows that everything is not in a hurry. Zhong Zhen pointed forward with his hand and continued: "Brother Yue, look over there, are there a few figures shaking?"

Yue Chen didn't look at it, and replied: "Which few people, it seems that from the beginning, they have been standing there." Presumably, it was someone like the head of the Ai family who was presiding over the guards. ”

Zhong Zhen shook his head and said, "Judging from the situation when I participated in one with my father, it shouldn't be." In this way, Brother Yue, you wait here, and I'll go over and take a look. ”

Yue Chen advised: "Be careful!" Zhong Zhen nodded and quickly jumped over, Yue Chen was not careful, and he disappeared without a trace. Then, he blamed himself: "A person's ability to deal with things is not enough, his experience is lacking, and he has no vision, no matter how high his Taoism is, what is the use? Hey! I am really useless!" I remembered that I had been quietly seen behind me several times, but I didn't notice it at all, and my chagrin was even greater.

At this moment, in the woods where he was standing, several swords slid out and quickly floated towards the courtyard of the Ai family.
