Chapter 11: Insidious—Traps
☆☆☆
As soon as the sky darkened, the lanterns of the Rongguo Mansion were lit up, and the moon was still clear tonight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the high wall, the vermilion fence paints the building, the flowers and trees surround the house, and there is a towering ancient tree in the garden in the southeast corner, the branches are luxuriant; at this time, a figure lurks among the dense branches and leaves.
Qin Yujiu had already been here for a while, his black scarf was masked, quietly observing the movements of the guards.
He waited for an opportunity to move, and with a shake of his body, he had floated into the hospital. In the past few days, he has figured out the rules of the guards' activities, and as soon as he landed, he hid behind a rockery, and soon, a team of guards walked past him.
After the guard walked by, he didn't move, and suddenly a stone popped out to the left of his finger, landing a few feet away. Listening to a muffled roar, a big yellow dog with sharp teeth and claws, quickly pounced on the place where the stone fell, the dog was as big as a donkey, fierce, locked in a cage during the day, and only released at night to watch with the guards. Hearing the sound of the yellow dog's bite, several guards who were ambushed in the courtyard came out of the shadows, and the patrolling guards also surrounded them.
While the guards were surrounding to the left, Qin Yujiu had already flashed from the right. He scurried a few feet and swept towards the small courtyard in the northwest.
After a few circles of the dog and the man, and finding nothing unusual, the guards all returned to their posts, and everything was calm again.
Qin Yujiu found that the later it was at night, the stricter the guards in the palace became, but when the shift was changed, the guards were the most lax. Moreover, the small courtyard in the northwest is the residence of the guards in the palace, and no thieves will come here to commit crimes, so there are no guards around. There were several rows of bungalows in the courtyard, and the first shift of guards on duty had already left, and only two of them were still sleeping on the beds in the second half of the night, and snoring was heard from time to time.
The large kitchen at the back of the courtyard was brightly lit, and the cook had prepared dinner for the guards returning from their shifts.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when he heard the voice, Qin Yujiu knew that it was some guards who had just taken over the shift, and when they turned the corner of the house, he had already flown onto the roof, jumped over the ridge of the roof like a civet cat, and hid in the dark.
Qin Yujiu watched them walk towards the kitchen, suddenly, the kitchen door was opened, and a person walked out of it, Qin Yujiu's eyes lit up suddenly, and the kitchen light shone on the person's face, it was a man with a hooked nose, I saw that he was holding a food box in his right hand, but his left hand was shrunk by his side. He exchanged a few words with the guards, and then walked slowly to his room.
Qin Yujiu was on the ridge of the roof, followed the man to a row of bungalows, and saw the man push open a door and walk in.
The weather in Kaifeng is hot and humid, and all the roofs of buildings in the capital have air windows, as long as the tiles next to the air windows are lifted, you can easily enter and exit the room. Qin Yujiu quietly walked to the air window and looked inside.
The room was dark, and although an oil lamp was lit, the light was still dim.
I saw that the man put the food box on the table, sat down on the edge of the table, he raised his left hand, pulled up the sleeve of his shirt, and saw that there was a black cloth wrapped around it, and the man tore the black cloth on his hand in a circle, and the black hand was also exposed.
Qin Yujiu's eyes widened as he watched, his left hand really only had four fingers, three fingers in front and his thumb in the back, and the tips of his fingertips were curved like hooks, like eagle claws.
Qin Yujiu couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, he had come so many times just to find him.
Seeing Feiying take out the food from the food box and start eating, Qin Yujiu secretly thought: The person who lives with him is still eating in the room, and he is the only one in the room, so the timing can't be better. I heard the second uncle say that this flying eagle is very good, if he does it rashly, it will be bad if he calls someone else.
Thinking about it, Qin Yujiu didn't want to miss this opportunity, he snorted coldly, and thought: No matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than me, wait for me to go down, click on his acupoint first, it's a big deal, and there is a misty fragrance that can put him down.
Qin Yujiu gently lifted the tiles by the window, and when the window hole was the right size, he was bold, drilled through the air window, and his body volleyed down, and quietly fell behind the man.
He took a slight step forward, moved his fingers like the wind, and pointed towards the "dumb door" point on the back of the man's neck. The dumb door acupoint is in the middle of an inch of the Fengfu acupoint, which is a dizzy acupoint, as long as it is hit, the person will be unconscious immediately.
Seeing that his fingers were about to poke the neck of the flying eagle, suddenly, a strong wind came to his face, Qin Yujiu was taken aback, his body changed sharply, and he jumped backwards.
Just as Qin Yujiu's body was in the air, he suddenly saw the man turn around and stand up.
Before Qin Yujiu could think about it, the other party took a step forward, his arms were like hooks, and he hung straight towards Qin Yujiu's arms.
Qin Yujiu saw that the other party's tricks were peculiar, and he couldn't help but be secretly wary in his heart. With a move of "the wind follows the leopard's tail", his left hand swayed, and his right leg flew up and kicked his opponent's knee directly. Qin Yujiu walked a lot at night and entered the room, so he practiced mostly small kung fu, he was very promiscuous in this set of eighteen-way small grapples, and because of his light skills, his feet were as fast as the wind.
As soon as the two of them moved, a strong wind blew through, causing the candles in the house to sway with the wind.
Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light, and he went straight to his right leg.
In a hurry, Qin Yujiu twisted his body suddenly, and his right leg suddenly lowered a few points, sweeping under the opponent's arms.
This move was as fast as lightning, Qin Yujiu intuitively felt a chill on his legs, and when he looked down, he saw that a knife had cut a hole in his trouser leg.
Seeing him flash, the opponent pushed his right arm horizontally, straight towards Qin Yujiu's chest.
Qin Yujiu saw it clearly this time, the other party seemed to be bare-handed, but in fact, he was holding a bright short knife in his right hand, and the blade was hidden under his arm. He slammed his right foot on the ground, and his body moved half a foot to the side, just in time for the opponent's blade to be handed over.
At this moment, he saw a flash of sword light again, and the sword light suddenly slashed a strange arc in the air.
Suddenly, Qin Yujiu's right hand was already covered by this cold and sharp blade, and he saw that this hand was about to be cut off.
If he retreats, the sword will pursue him, and no matter how fast he retreats, it will not be as fast as the sword that has already struck, and if he dodges to the sides, it will be useless, and he will be hurt worse than if he retreats.
This trick "praying mantis trailer" is such a move to penetrate the bones with a knife and capture life.
The person who used this trick was so good that he had already calculated the movements, strength, and speed of the prey, which could be described as very old and vicious.
How do you know that Qin Yujiu did not retreat but advanced, and he greeted him like thunder and lightning. Swift outpaced the knife, and instead of dodging the blow, he grabbed his opponent's left hand.
The opponent was also taken aback, and he didn't expect this knife to fail.
After a momentary pause, the two of them immediately struggled with each other, only to see that the left hand actually fell off.
That's a prosthetic hand!
Qin Yujiu's heart sank, and his first feeling was that he had won the plan!
Who knew that the other party turned around very quickly, his wrist turned slightly, and he saw a flash of white light, and the left hand that was originally equipped with a fake hand also held a knife back, and the blade slashed over, and the momentum was fierce.
Qin Yujiu's body flashed, and he had already jumped out five feet away and flashed to the wall.
Qin Yujiu's back was against the wall, his body did not move, and suddenly his body had swam up the wall, and he was three feet high out of thin air, and the knife could be slashed under his feet. At this time, Qin Yujiu's body did not fall, but quickly swam to the side, just like a gecko swimming on the wall.
The knife missed, and the man snorted coldly, jumped up, and slashed horizontally.
Seeing the blade sharpened, Qin Yujiu didn't let go of his breath, and tapped his toes at the corner of the wall, and with a bit of force, his body had jumped towards the air window when he came.
However, the man did not pursue, Qin Yujiu knew that something was wrong, and by the moonlight at the window, he really saw a figure and a knife light flashing a little bit. Qin Yujiu's momentum of jumping up was exhausted, he pressed his hand on the side of the air window, his body turned around, and he rushed straight to the door like a big bird.
The man took two steps to the side, already blocking Qin Yujiu's retreat.
Qin Yujiu's body sank suddenly, and he had fallen to the ground, staring at the man without speaking.
Slight footsteps came from outside the window. Qin Yujiu's eyes swept away, and he saw the bright light outside the house, showing that many people were holding torches in their hands, and the chaotic shadows on the window screens kept shaking.
"Actually," he said in a muffled voice, "we knew you were coming when you threw a stone and asked for directions." ”
This voice sent chills down Qin Yujiu's spine.
After saying that, "Flying Eagle" stretched out his hand and rubbed it in his ear for a while, and actually removed a mask from his face, no wonder his face was always very stiff when he spoke just now. The hooked nose was gone, revealing an angular face beneath the mask.
"This place is surrounded by layers, so you might as well take it with your hands tied. The man said with a sneer, and casually ripped off his coat, revealing a white coat inside.
After saying that, he made a mistake with his hands and put on a peculiar posture. His upper body was slightly prostrate, his arms were raised, and the two knives that he had been holding behind his back, the blades were tightly attached to his forearms, and he couldn't see it for a while, but now it was slowly revealed, and the cold light was pressing. He intersected his blades in front of him, and the blades trembled and hummed for a long time.
Qin Yujiu saw that his body shook slightly, just like a white praying mantis.
Mantis?!
Whispering backhand double swords, peculiar moves, silver-white night clothes.
There is only one person in this world who can wear a white night robe, and that is the Divine Hunting White Hall!
Qin Yujiu was right, this person was the Divine Capture Baitang. He learned from Shangjiazhuang in Jingzhao Mansion, fought with a mantis punch in one hand, and created his own drunken mantis knife technique, and his kung fu was very good. After leaving the school, Bai Tang devoted himself to the public service, repeatedly solved major cases, arrested fugitives, and even caught them, and became famous in Northwest Road for a while. Later, he was transferred to the Kaifeng Mansion God Capture Division by Zhao Hao, the king of Chang, and he repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the people of Kaifeng called him "White Mantis", and it was rumored that he was the descendant of Bai Qi, the first general of the Qin State.
Because his surname is Bai and he likes to wear white clothes, the prince Zhao Hao authorized him not to wear soap clothes, but to wear white clothes. and the god hunt "wanton" sword shop, and called the two god catches, can be regarded as a well-known legend in the Great Song Dynasty.
Traps, all of these are traps set by the Divine Catcher.
Knowing the identity of the other party, Qin Yujiu calmed down at this time. He thought about it, it seems that he has fallen into the trap of the other party today, and it may not be easy to get out. He looked around, thinking of a way out.
Bai Tang saw his eyes flickering, obviously not wanting to give in easily. He took a lightning step forward, and the double knives slashed out diagonally from the bottom to the sides, Qin Yujiu was already unavoidable, and his right hand punched the knife face of Bai Tang's left hand, followed by a move "Crane Top Breaking Melon" left fist went straight to Bai Tang's front door.
Bai Tang was also taken aback, his left hand knife slashed the opponent's chest and abdomen, and the right hand knife slashed the opponent's left arm, it was a move "mantis axe blowing the wind", this move even split and hit, extremely fierce, if Qin Yujiu did not stop, not only would he open his intestines, but he was afraid that his arm would also be cut off.
In a hurry, Qin Yujiu's hands hit several times like a shuttle, each punch hit Bai Tang's knife surface, only to hear a crackling sound, the two had fought five or six times in an instant, these few blows were really dangerous, if it was half a second late, Qin Yujiu's hands would be gone.
Bai Tang's face became solemn at this time, and he had already accepted the heart of contempt for the enemy.
The hall and room fighting was Qin Yujiu's forte, but when he encountered Baitang's mantis knife today, he was actually restrained. Qin Yujiu thought to himself, if he continues like this, I am afraid that there will be more evil and less luck today, so it is better to get out early. He raised his foot and kicked the table towards Bai Tang, and the moment Bai Tang stepped sideways, Qin Yujiu had already flashed towards the door, and his body was so fast that it was difficult to describe in words.
Looking at Qin Yujiu, who flashed to the door, a smile flashed at the corner of Bai Tang's mouth.
However, the moment Qin Yujiu opened the door, Bai Tang's face suddenly changed, because he saw that at some point, Qin Yujiu had picked up the clothes he had just ripped off in his hands, and as soon as the door opened, Qin Yujiu did not rush out, but threw the clothes out first.
Sure enough, I heard someone outside the door shouting: "Close!" An iron net fell from the sky and covered the garment. Bai Tang saw that the ambush at the door was seen through by Qin Yujiu, and the secret way was not good, so he hurriedly chased after him, and with a move of "Tianma chasing stars", he slashed Qin Yujiu's heart with two knives.
The moment the net fell, Qin Yujiu, who was hiding by the door, saw the opportunity and flew outward, at this time, he suddenly felt a golden wind behind him, if he didn't turn around to parry, he would be injured by the blade;
Bai Tang hurriedly followed out of the house, he sniffed the blood on the blade, looked at Qin Yujiu's disappearing back, and said in a deep voice: "Take the dog, chase quickly!"
One by one, the catchers rushed to chase in the direction where Qin Yujiu had fled.
Qin Yujiu had disappeared into the darkness in an instant. The moment he walked out of the room, he felt a chill in his back, and he felt something running down, and he knew he was hurt.
This time it was too risky!
The firelight is like daylight, and at this time, the Rongguo Mansion is full of people with torches in their hands, searching everywhere.
Apparently his adventure tonight was a mistake.
Qin Yujiu looked up at the sky, and a crescent moon was obscured by clouds, making the ground cold and cold, but this was a wonderful time for night walkers to wait. He took advantage of the darkness to leap out of the shadows, and disappeared into the night for a moment.
Although he had already left the Rongguo Mansion, Qin Yujiu always felt that there was someone behind him, and in his mind, the white night clothes were particularly dazzling, and the person's cold star-like eyes were staring at him tightly, as if he wanted to stare out of two holes in his back.
Although Baitang's reputation is great, his light skills are not as good as him. Qin Yujiu relied on his light skills, and galloped for a while, and in a blink of an eye, he was out of the old city for seven or eight miles, and the injury on his back had begun to ache faintly, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and tried his best to exert light skills under his feet, because he knew that the other party would not give up the pursuit easily.
There are two roads to walk in front of Xingguo Temple, one is a long alley, with high walls on both sides, and the other is the street outside Xingguo Temple, at this time, it is not long at night, the street is still bustling, and many people are visiting the night market.
Qin Yujiu didn't know how to get it, looking at the secluded path and feeling stunned.
He looked towards the main street, and the natural sense of security of the dense crowd made him unconsciously walk there, and he jumped onto the wall outside the Heungguo Temple.
It's a pity that when he stepped on the glazed tile, he found that the place where he landed was smooth and abnormal, he stumbled and almost slipped, he tried to stabilize his body, but there was nowhere to stand under his feet, the strong smell of oil, he knew it was lamp oil when he smelled it, which was deliberately sprinkled by someone!
He couldn't help but regret that he didn't listen to his second uncle's advice when he came. But before he could think about it, he lost his center of gravity and fell off the wall. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the sky in my ears, and it was too late to dodge in the air.
A low cry in the dark night: "Yan pounce!"
At the moment when he was stabbed in the shoulder, Qin Yujiu tried hard to adjust his body, and although he avoided the vital point, he was still injured a lot.
When he landed, a huge sense of crisis suddenly struck, he lifted his breath suddenly, landed on his right foot, and immediately tapped his toes, and sure enough, an iron rod had swept past the place where he had just landed.
As soon as Qin Yujiu landed, a big net fell from the sky, covered his head, and circled in the air a few times, wrapping him firmly in it.
Immediately someone gathered around and shouted, "Catch it!"
The people in the front suddenly smelled a fragrance, and then someone plopped and fell to the ground, and the people behind saw it and shouted loudly: "Be careful of the drug!" This is the incense medicine prepared by Qin Yujiu, the medicine is violent, although they only inhaled a little, they fell to the ground one after another.
It was the black shadow that stabbed him with a sword, and when he saw this, he immediately held his breath and jumped back a few steps.
Qin Yujiu in the net pressed a button on the wristguard with his fingers, and with a "bang", the buckle popped away, and three spiral-shaped small blades slipped out of the wristband, and his hand swung left and right, and the net that trapped him was cut at once.
Just as he was getting out of the net, Qin Yujiu suddenly felt the familiar sound of a golden knife splitting the wind behind him, and he hurriedly rolled out on his back, jumping more than a foot away.
Qin Yujiu held the ground with one hand, panting heavily, and the blood gushing out of his body made him feel gradually weak.
It was a collared white cloth wielding a knife, and Bai Tang stepped forward.
And the black shadow of the stabbing sword also walked over. I saw that he was dressed in a dark soap robe, with a large golden pattern embroidered in the center of his back, which resembled two cross-crossed swords and a wine bottle, which was a symbol of his identity.
Divine Sword Hunting!
Qin Yujiu smelled death.
The two gods attacked hand in hand, and Qin Yujiu knew that it would not be so easy to run away this time.
"Today I finally let you taste the taste of 'praying mantis catching cicadas, flying swallows in front'!" said Bai Tang with a knife.
In a hurry, Qin Yujiu jumped up and used the "Moth Drama", his figure flashed in the air at high speed, and he actually conjured up several shadows.
Bai Tang Dusk saw this strange trick, and he didn't know which shadow was the real incense thief for a while, he swung three times in a row, but the knife missed.
At this time, Jian Yan sneered: "It's not so easy to run, beak protrusion!", countless sword flowers suddenly flew in the air, the cold light was shining, it turned out that he actually stabbed several swords at high speed in one move, as if he was the nemesis of the "Heavenly Moth Drama", piercing one shadow after another! The fierce enemy he met tonight was something that Qin Yujiu had never seen in his life.
The true body is revealed.
The twin swords and double swords of Bai Tang and Jian Shi were struck out together.
The sword was close to his chest, and he was dead!
Qin Yujiu was gone.
Afterwards, when Bai Tang and Jian Yan remembered the scene of that night, they could still feel that amazing and strange atmosphere, that scene had gone out of the realm of ordinary people's perception, and every time they thought about it, they could only find one word to describe that scene: miracle! Many years later, when someone mentioned the events of that day, they all said that the incense thief was rescued by an immortal at a critical time that night, and he became an immortal.
