Chapter 1: Destroying the Gate

Next Chapter

Shifu - Henan Governor's Mansion, the weather in early April, the night is still cool, the sand bucket is leaking, it is already the second watch. The stone mansion stands silently in the silent night. The north side of Shifu is close to the mountain, and the southeast and west sides are brightly lit. The main house was in the middle of the north, dark and dreary, without a trace of light.

Suddenly, several black shadows appeared on each side of the south, east and west, the black shadow was dressed in black, wearing a black scarf and a black mask, walking through the darkness like a ghost. Then they shook their ropes, hooked the wall, and tumbled down the second door, killing the second guard in the same way. Then the third and fourth. In the darkness, I saw that the black shadow jumped and moved, landed silently, hooked and saw blood, and the movements were neat, only half an hour had already attacked the main house, and it was surprising that no one had time to shout before death, which showed that the man in black was extremely strong.

In the darkness of the night, one person stood quietly in three rows, each row of ten people, like a javelin. At present, the figure of the man is enlightened, like a demon from hell. Everyone just stood quietly, without making the slightest sound, and even breathing seemed to be inaudible, only to see that the current person secretly stretched out his right hand, put his palm on his chest, and put his lower palate on a slight platform, looking at the sky, he couldn't see his face clearly in the night, so he looked at it quietly for a moment, and then took a deep breath, and waved his palm in front of his chest to point to the gate of the main house, if a gust of wind swept by, thirty black shadows instantly crossed the gate of the main house.

The people lit torches and searched in turn from the first room on each side in the east and west directions. Suddenly, a baby's cry came from a room in the center, and went with the sound, and under the light of the torches, I saw that I came to a boxy hall, and a sandalwood chair was placed every two feet on the east and west sides of the hall, and a sandalwood chair was placed in the center of the north, and a tiger skin was spread on the high backrest. In the middle of the first row stood a middle-aged man in his forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, a mustache, and a righteous and awe-inspiring body. There were two people standing on the left and right, their temples bulging high, and their hands covered with calluses. In the back row are more than 20 guards wearing armor and holding weapons, among them a middle-aged woman in her thirties, dignified and beautiful, she holds a baby about one year old in her left hand, and holds the hand of a little boy tightly in her right hand, the boy should be about twelve years old, his small face is tight, and his left hand is tightly grasping his mother's right hand, and her palm is full of sweat. His eyes were firmly fixed on the night man who was the leader, and beside him, an old man in his fifties in a brocade robe was clinging to him, his eyes full of determination and worry.

Two dozen guards surrounded them. I only heard the black-clothed man at the head of the man said in a sharp voice: "Lord Shi, hand over the things!" The person who was called by the leader of the black-clothed man to be Lord Shi was none other than Shi Lan, the governor of Henan. Due to the reform of the imperial court military system, the guards of the governor's mansion have been greatly reduced compared with before, but the guards on the south, east and west sides add up to two hundred people, and all of them are not weak in martial arts. Shi Lan has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he has experienced any scene in the rain of guns and swords, if he is alone, if he kills each other desperately or has a glimmer of life, but his wife and children are all by his side, and the other party is strong in martial arts, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to die well today, but he doesn't know what the other party wants. So he asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" The leader of the men in black screamed: "Gun trick!" Shi Lan asked in surprise: "Where did Your Excellency know?"

It turns out that the Shi family has a gun trick, called "Yanyun Eighteen Guns", the Shi family has owned this gun trick for more than 100 years, but no one has ever practiced it, this gun trick is Shi Lan's grandfather by chance, the Shi family has been passed down for three generations, except for the head of the family, how can outsiders know, so Shi Lan has this question.

The black-clothed man at the head said: "How to know, you don't have to ask, what our Shenyue Sect wants, it's not too difficult." Shi Lan stared at it, and saw that the cuffs of each black-clothed person were rusted with half a silver moon, the back of the moon was round, and the head of the moon was sharp. The black-clothed Silver Moon looked very eye-catching, but the Divine Moon Sect was in the Northwest Tianshan Mountains and rarely had contact with the Middle Earth Martial Arts, and Shi Lan was surprised that the peerless secret of the gun trick was known to outsiders, so he didn't pay attention to it. At this moment, I saw that a heart slowly sank. Tianshan Shenyue Sect, also good and evil, the masters in the sect are like clouds, especially the leader of the "Heavenly Hook", the martial arts are even more superb, a long rope crescent hook makes the gods and ghosts hateful, rare opponents.

The black-clothed leader saw Shi Lan bowing his head and pondering, gradually becoming impatient, and said sharply: "Lord Shi, quickly hand over the gun trick, even if our Shenyue Sect doesn't come today, the news that the Shi family has a peerless gun trick has spread, and if you want to keep it, you can't keep it, rather than being obtained by Xiao Xiao's generation, it is better to let the Shenyue Sect get this gun trick, which is also a matter of return." What's more, this gun trick can't be practiced by your Shi family, and it's in vain to defend it, and you gave your life in vain, as long as you hand over the gun trick, I promise you that your whole family won't die!"

Shi Lan knew that what the man in black said was true, no one in the Shi family had practiced this gun trick for three generations, but Shi Lan's great-grandfather, when he passed on this gun trick, told his grandfather that this gun trick was not trivial, and there were very few people in the world who could practice this gun trick, and it was good to practice it, otherwise it would never fall into the hands of evil and evil people to slaughter the living souls, and the Shi family would be loyal and good for generations, how could they live up to the wishes of their ancestors. Thinking of this, Shi Lan turned his head and took a deep look at his wife and children, and the moment he turned around, his right hand flicked forward, his left hand folded back, and the four people on the left and right nodded and said, "Kill!" The right hand pulled the sword out of the sheath and slashed the head of a man in black, the man in black suddenly saw the white light in front of him, strode to the left, shook his wrist, and wrapped the long sword with a soft whip, after all, he took a step slower, blocked it, the castration of the long sword slowed down, and cut off one of the arms of the man in black, and then the hilt of the sword hit the waist of the leader of the man in black, and the leader of the man in black snorted and said: "What a move" Welcome to the send!"". Shi Lan dialed the sword, cut horizontally, fought back, and became a swordsman, which is the Shi family's family swordsmanship "Meteor Chasing Moon Sword". Shi Lan didn't answer, a sword just attacked the leader of the black-clothed man, Shi Lan had already obtained the true inheritance of swordsmanship, which was better than his ancestors' skills, and he was also one of the few masters within a radius of a hundred miles.

The leader of the man in black whipped to meet the enemy, a soft whip pointed to the east and west, and the whip end was a thick blade in the crescent moon, which was extremely sharp, but for some reason, it seemed that the whip method was sluggish, and it was not handy, but the internal force was strong, and the response was fast, and the two of them could fight to a draw. One of the two guards on Shi Lan's right was bare-handed, and the other was using a plate axe, desperately rushing forward, and the two on the left were protected with a sword and a sword. Shi Lan began to flick forward with his right hand as a signal for the two to rush out of a bloody road, but the difference in strength was really huge, the four men in black each surrounded a guard, and each of the four guards was covered in blood, hooking and hooking out scars on their bodies, and every time they desperately broke through, they forced the men in black back. Several times unsuccessfully, suddenly, the guard of the double axe swooped forward, the axe was attached to the chest, to hug a man in black, the back three hooks together, one hook deep into the back of the neck, two hooks hooked the left and right ribs, the guard ignored the back three hooks, dragged the hook forward, hugged the man in black tightly, the axe did not enter the heart, the two of them were both angry, but the man in black was unwilling, and the guard had to taste what he wanted.

The other three guards were also killed under the siege of the men in black. The leader of the men in black and Shi Lan are still fighting, and Shi Lan is entangled by a soft whip from the leader of the men in black, and he has no flaws to care about others. Seeing that the four guards were all killed, the leader of the men in black ordered in a sharp voice: "Fight quickly, kill them all! Find the gun!" At this time, the man in black had been killed by three of the four guards, and the remaining twenty-seven people were all killed by the other twenty or so guards, and these more than twenty guards were much weaker than the four guards who were killed, and more than half of them were killed and injured at one time.

Shi Lan was fighting with the leader of the men in black, while observing the situation on Madame's side, and saw a soft whip swish hit Madame Shi's left shoulder, Madame Shi still hugged the baby tightly, leaned forward, and didn't snort. Shi Lan's move "Stars and Moon Shine", this move is the most powerful move in the "Meteor Chasing Moon Sword", one move and three swords, stabbing the opponent in three directions, the end is extremely powerful, after the brush brush three swords attacked, shouted: "Old Zuo, take the young master away, hurry!

At this moment, there have been two soft whips to the Shifu chief housekeeper Zuo Zhongcheng rolled, the soft whip around the back, from the left and right sides of the chest and lower abdomen of Zuo Zhongcheng, Shi Zhongcheng retreated, the body went diagonally to the left, the left hand carried the young master of the Shi family to the north of the hall, at this time, Shi Lan three swords forced back the leader of the black-clothed man, followed behind, a vertical leap to the north of the hall, stretched out his hand to the wall and pressed, a three-foot-long six-foot-high door should be opened, it turned out that there was a secret door on the north wall of the hall, the black-clothed people were stunned for a moment, they saw Shi Lan and the four guards desperately attacking the main entrance of the hall, thinking that they were going to open a bloody road to the main entrance of the hall to escape, but it was actually a way to attack the westใ€‚

When everyone reacted, Zuo Zhongcheng had already taken the young master out of the secret door. Shi Lan stood at the door, a sword danced impermeable, more than a dozen black-clothed people whipped together, and the crescent moon shone for a while, but Shi Lan's sword was all opened. In the oblique thorn, a soft rope was inserted straight in, the soft rope was like a steel rod, the hook head stabbed obliquely into Shi Lan's chest, Shi Lan's right hand sword opened more than a dozen soft ropes, and it was too late to block back, so he had to take the hook head with his left hand into a claw, but the soft rope came very fast, and when he grabbed the soft rope, the half-moon hook had not entered the chest, and suddenly the blood in his chest was gushing.

At this time, the baby who had been lying quietly in Mrs. Shi's arms suddenly cried loudly, and went away with the sound, but saw that Mrs. Shi was hooked in the throat, her neck was broken, and she was already out of breath. A man in black stepped out and stepped on the baby's umbilicus, and the crying gradually stopped.

Shi Lan's eyes were torn, but his body was still blocking the door, the blood in his chest was still gushing out, and he was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, knowing that he was no longer spared, not to mention that his beloved wife and daughter were dead, how could he live alone? In the flash of thought, the left hand that grabbed the soft rope was forced, and the body rushed forward, and the right hand was inserted into the throat of the black-clothed man's collar, which was the Shi family's family technique of "wrong muscles". The leader of the man in black struck the left side, Shi Lan's right hand that grabbed his throat suddenly deviated, and fell on the right arm of the leader of the man in black....... It's you!" his eyes were full of unwillingness, incomprehension, anger and grief.

At this time, the hall, which was originally illuminated by torches as bright as day, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the torches were immediately extinguished, and the bright hall darkened, and in the dim light, I saw Shi Lan's messy hair covering half of his face, and the blood stains of his hair fell on his face one by one, his eyes were wide open, and a line of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes until the corners of his mouth opened, his left hand was still grasping the soft cord, and his right hand stained with blood maintained a posture of pointing forward, which was indescribably terrifying. The black-clothed leader's only exposed eyes seemed to have a mist rising, he took a step back, then took two steps forward, the middle finger of his right hand probed under Shi Lan's nose, and found that there was no snort, and touched his chest again, his heart had stopped beating, knowing that Shi Lan was indeed dead, he was relieved, and with a wave of his hand, the black-clothed people went through the secret door to chase and kill Zuo Zhongcheng and the young master of the Shi family.
