Chapter 17: The Pit
Bai Ya looked up at the starry sky and sighed heavily.
In his past and present lives, he really never wanted to be a hero. Don't look at the dead friend who praises him for having the chivalrous spirit of the ancients, but he understands in his heart that this is only limited to friends and acquaintances, and he can't be Lei Feng who sacrifices himself for others anyway.
In his previous life, when he read books and watched movies and television dramas, he hated that kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, a benevolent and moral mother, and he couldn't wait to replace him with a knife and kill the Quartet.
But in this life, whether in Shiyangji or outside Didao City, in the face of injustices and those who suffered tragic disasters, he found that he could not forget everything he saw and become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
By chance, he finally came to this point. Every time I think about it now, Bai Ya himself feels incredible.
"Just accumulate some merit, anyway, the crossing has been run into by me, maybe merit is also useful!"
Bai Ya laughed at himself for a while, and his heart was ruthless, so he touched a handful of gravel from the ground, divided his palms, and rubbed it towards his face.
The rubble and dirt scraped his face like sandpaper, and a layer of skin was scraped off his face. The mud and sand mixed with the rubble were embedded in the flesh of the face, and it looked bloody and terrifying.
It's just that Bai Ya doesn't feel much pain, although his soul and body are gradually merging now, and the pain has been recovering, but he is a facial paralysis, and the nerves in his face have atrophied, resulting in a great reduction in pain.
Even if it is a current injury, it is only a slight stinging pain, which is not too serious.
"If you want to do it, do it thoroughly!" Bai Ya felt the pain even milder than he imagined, a spark flashed in his eyes, and the short knife swirled on the palm of his hand, and then slashed his face.
The knife cut a little too hard, the wound hung obliquely from Bai Ya's left eyebrow to his right cheek, the whole face was split in two, and the bridge of the nose was broken with a big hole. Blood poured out of the open flesh and almost drippedly along the jaw.
"Ah~~" The little maid turned her head after just one look, trembling all over.
"Look at me! Now those guards don't recognize me, do they?" Bai Ya only felt that his face was hot, and he suddenly had no patience in his heart, and pinched the little girl's chin a little roughly, and twisted her face to himself.
The maid lotus glanced at the white cliff, her face turned pale, her eyes were closed, and she nodded her little head desperately, looking like she was about to faint with fright.
Bai Ya's face was now completely disfigured, the skin of his face was worn by the sand and gravel, and the muscle fibers full of blood were exposed to the air, looking like minced pork. The knife that hung diagonally in the center of the face was even more fleshy and hideous.
This virtue is not to mention those guards now, but Brother Gongzi and his father Wang Juncheng saw it, and he didn't dare to be sure if this was his precious son for a while.
"That's good, let's go!" Bai Ya took the short knife into his arms, and pulled the little maid to lean on her.
But after pulling a few times, the little maid was motionless, and when she looked at it, she suddenly found that her trembling strands were so frightened that her legs were weak and couldn't move.
"Let's go, don't forget that your little mistress is also bleeding, wait any longer, the two of us will go to the west together. Bai Ya let out a low cry and woke up the little girl.
Thinking of the unconscious son, the lotus finally mustered up the courage and helped the white cliff out of the bamboo fence.
The two snuggled up to each other and walked towards the Ascension Platform. As soon as he walked out of the road, Bai Ya heard the sound of fighting in the distance and gradually shifted towards this courtyard.
He changed his position, rested his head on the little girl's shoulder, and looked sideways at the back.
Through the hollow window railing on the courtyard wall, I saw the courtyard in the distance brightly lit, swords and swords, and in the circle surrounded by heavy soldiers, four figures rose and fell, and their bodies were like electricity.
The four of them were divided into two pairs, sometimes hitting the roof from the ground, sometimes falling from the roof to the ground, and each time their bodies staggered, they burst into brilliant sparks, like fireworks in the dark night.
With the help of the torches in the hands of the surrounding soldiers, Bai Ya could roughly see the appearance of the four people.
One of them is very recognizable, the masked man in green clothes and a big hat should be Wang Peng, and the sword-wielding woman he fought against was dressed in white and her face was covered with white veil, and sure enough, it was the ugly fairy girl Zhang Mei.
The other pair of people who were fighting were not known to Bai Ya.
One of the two men was a camel dressed in a hundred robes, carrying a large gourd on his back, and the weapon in his hand was a black iron cane. Another middle-aged man was wearing a python robe, a crown on his head, and a pair of shiny iron claws on his hands.
"Could it be that Wang Peng also found a helper?!" Bai Ya thought about it for a while, and was immediately denied by himself, sneering and secretly thinking, "There are more than one or two righteous people in the city who don't like the dog officials, these people have made people angry, and it's a miracle that they are still alive now!"
"Let's go!" Seeing that the circle of four people fighting quickly moved towards this side, Bai Ya hurriedly urged the little maid.
The little maid lotus had calmed down a lot at this time, and she quickened her pace according to her words.
"The young man did not hesitate to destroy his face, and he also wanted to sneak into the ascension platform, but ...... But to assassinate the county guard!" asked Lotus in a low voice, her voice trembling a little.
Aren't you talking nonsense! Brother, if you really can't swallow the evil breath in your heart, why do you join in this fun! Bai Ya secretly complained, but he didn't say that.
"No, the master wants to ask for the people's life and let the county guard open the warehouse to release grain!" Bai Ya lied without thinking.
"Outside the city, there are starving people, millions of victims are waiting for them, have you ever tasted cakes made of soil, have you ever eaten soup made of the bones of your younger brothers and sisters......" Originally, he just wanted to deceive the little girl to reassure, but as he spoke, he remembered the tragic scene outside the city, and suddenly the evil fire in his heart couldn't help but rise.
"Don't say anything more about the young man, the little maid will take you into the ascension platform!" Feeling the suppressed anger of Bai Ya, the little maid did not feel nervous at this time, but her mood was a little low, and she replied softly, "I just hope that the young man will keep his promise, and after entering the ascension platform, he will let the little maid leave and save Wang Gongzi!"
"Cheng, as long as you take the young master to the place where the county guard is, I will let you go!" Bai Ya was overjoyed, knowing that this girl would at least not secretly make ghosts.
"A gentleman's word!"
"Whip the horse!"
The little maid was reassured, and immediately cooperated a lot, reminding Bai Ya to adjust his body posture, making him look more like he was seriously injured, and he could walk slowly with the support of lotus flowers.
After a few moments, they finally approached the heavily guarded Ascension Platform in the backyard.
White Cliff opened his eyes and peeked, only to see a barricade set up in front of the tower, and behind the barricade were two rows of heavy infantry armed with crossbows.
And that's not all, there are several makeshift pavilions around the tower, in which a group of people in fancy clothes sit or stand. Some of these people were drinking wine and eating meat, some were gambling and playing chess, some were holding the maids beside them, and there were actually two scribes who were holding folding fans in the middle of the night, shaking their heads and pretending to be talented......
Bai Ya's heart sank, he and the Blood Knife Men obviously underestimated the fear of death of those dog officials. Forget about those soldiers, these people in front of them are obviously martial arts masters they invited to escort Baohang!
Although these people are not necessarily masters of the sect like Wang Peng, the people who can be invited by the county guard should not be weak. The acquired martial artist is different from the innate strong, and there will be no shortage of wild masters like lame three.
Whether the Blood Knife Warrior can defeat these people, Bai Ya doesn't know, but he estimates that any one of these people can kill him with one finger.
This Nima ...... If you can get in or not, how will you get out after you slaughter those dog officials?!
The hero can't do it, my brother is really cheap! As soon as he pretended to be forced, his face was swollen, and he didn't even have the option to surrender and lose half!
Bai Ya only felt bitter in his stomach, and regretted that he didn't ask the little maid about the precautions for flying to the platform earlier.
He took it for granted, thinking that after the Blood Knife Warrior was launched, as soon as the two Houli female disciples were lured away, he could sneak in and slaughter the dog officials, and then pat his ass and run away.
It's just that now, he has no way to retreat, and someone in front of him has noticed them, and a general-like person is walking towards them with a few soldiers.
"Little lotus?!Why don't you serve by the second lady's side, this person is...... Wang Juncheng's son, how did he do this?" As soon as the middle-aged general approached, his face showed surprise.
He looked at Bai Ya, who was leaning on the little girl's arms, and immediately frowned.
Bai Ya's face was ruined too successfully, and he was wearing Brother Gongzi's clothes, and he bent down against the lotus flower, which slightly covered up the difference in size. Before the little maid could explain, the middle-aged general subconsciously recognized the wrong person.
However, after all, the middle-aged general had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he wanted to get closer and check Bai Ya's injury again.
At this moment, there was a sudden "boom" behind them, and a bright rainbow crossed the sky like a meteor, smashing down a section of the courtyard wall.
And the little white light that followed it quickly amplified, as if a millstone had fallen from the sky and smashed towards the place where it collapsed. It's just that no matter how you look at this thing, it looks like a seal, but the proportions are too big and weird.
A figure jumped out of the rubble and rushed into the sky against the seal millstone.
"It's Wang Peng......" Bai Ya squinted his eyes and looked at the Blood Knife Guest in horror.
However, he was obviously worried in vain. I saw that the purple-red scabbard on Wang Peng's waist suddenly disintegrated, turning into a liquid like nanometal, and then re-polymerized in his left fist and enlarged into a metal fist the size of a water tank.
"Wow~~" There was a loud gong like a broken gong in the sky, and the giant fist turned into the scabbard smashed into the bottom of the grinding plate seal, knocking it far away. And the Blood Knife was blasted away again, smashing down another section of the wall.
However, Bai Ya saw it clearly this time, and the purple-red scabbard that turned into a giant fist turned into a shield this time, which could protect Wang Peng's back. The seal that was knocked away shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally really turned into a jade seal and landed on the hand of the ugly fairy girl who rushed over.
"Magic weapon? Transformers?" Seeing this scene, Bai Ya's eyes almost popped out, and his heart immediately went crazy, "This is martial arts? This is also called martial arts? Nima still has this kind of martial arts?"
