Dark Arrow Chapter 55 Picking the Tiger's Whiskers

Under an intricately entrenched old locust tree at the entrance of the town, Junxian and Huixian held their horses, looked forward to the road out of the town, and waited anxiously for Lin Yanran to appear.

Shuzhen carried the retrieved burden on her right shoulder, sat with her back against the locust tree, and looked at Rui'er who was sleeping in her arms with pity while eating the steamed buns she bought from the town delicately. She wasn't worried, Master Junxian had said that Rui'er would wake up soon.

"Mother!" Rui'er finally woke up, opening her frightened eyes and staring at Sook-jung.

"Rui'er, don't be nervous, my mother is here!" Shuzhen patted Rui'er on the back and comforted.

Ruiel broke free from her embrace and sat up, looked around, and asked strangely, "Hey, where is this? What about the bad guys?"

"Don't be afraid, this is a safe place, those bad guys have been killed!" Shuzhen caressed Rui's cheek.

"Oh," Rui'er put her mind at ease and pointed to Erni and asked, "Mother, who are they?"

"They are the master of Mount Emei, our savior," Shuzhen stroked Rui'er's little head: "Those bad people were killed by them." ”

"Mother, let's go! Rui'er is afraid that there are still bad people!" Rui'er had palpitations.

"Rui'er is not afraid, there are no bad people here! We still have to wait for an aunt who is going to kill the bad guys! When she comes back, we will leave. ”

"Auntie is there to kill all those bad guys?" Rui'er tilted her head to look at Shuzhen.

"That's right! Kill them all!, there will be no bad guys!" Shuzhen said with a smile.

Rui'er was relieved, and after eating a bun, she lay on the ground and played with the ants on the ground with leaves.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Hui kept pacing in place.

"Listen, it's so noisy in the town, Senior Sister Lin must have made a big deal again!" Junxian listened carefully.

"I knew it was going to be like this! Hey, he's getting his dad in trouble again!

As soon as the words fell, I saw Lin Yanran striding past, with a smug smile on her face.

"Why is it so long?...... Senior sister, you didn't kill people anymore, did you?" Hui Xian stepped forward, but after seeing her expression, he knew that the latter question was too much to ask.

"Just kill that paper tiger!" Lin Yanran walked forward quickly and stroked the mane of her jujube red horse, "I wanted to demolish the 'Fengqi Tower', but no one helped, so I couldn't dismantle it for a while, so I had to forget it!"

"This ...... Let's hurry up!!In a moment, the officials will be chasing after us!" Hui Xian's face was nervous.

"What are you afraid of! This junior sister is to eliminate harm for the people!" Lin Yanran looked disapproving.

"Hey...... After all, it's five lives!" Junxian looked like the emperor was not in a hurry, and the eunuch was helpless.

Lin Yanran didn't get on the horse, and Shi Shiran approached Shuzhen: "Eldest sister, I haven't asked you how to call it?"

"My name is Wang Shuzhen, sister...... Woman, I haven't had time to thank you, thank you!"

"Sister, don't call your little sister a 'woman' or anything, don't dare to be it!" Lin Yanran took her hand and asked with a smile: "By the way, where are you going?"

Shuzhen said: "I told the two masters just now, we are going to Kongtong Mountain...... Sister, hurry up, the two masters are waiting for you!"

"Kongtong Mountain, are you relatives of the head of the Broken Hongzi family?" Lin Yanran didn't mean to leave immediately, and continued to ask.

"No, I don't know the head of the broken rainbow...... I have a few friends who have gone to Kongtong Mountain...... Our mother and son can't live at home anymore, and we are ready to go to them. Shuzhen hesitated.

"Oh. Lin Yanran looked at her expression, and thought that there were details that were not enough for outsiders, so she didn't ask any more, squatted down and asked Rui'er with a smile: "Little brother, what's your name?"

"Riel. Riel replied without looking up, moving a branch in the way of a group of ants carrying food.

"Rui'er, it's rude! Auntie asks you, you have to watch Auntie talk!" Shuzhen was a little angry.

"Hello Auntie!" Rui'er finally raised her head, staring at Lin Yanran with dark eyes, "Auntie is so beautiful!"

"Good behave, come, auntie hug!" Lin Yanran stretched out her hands and looked at him with a smile.

Junxian and Hui leisurely looked at the movement in the town for a while, and looked at this side for a while, anxious.

"Rui'er, hug Auntie! She is an aunt who specializes in killing bad guys, and she is our life-saving benefactor!" Shuzhen picked up Rui'er and handed it to Lin Yanran.

"What's your name, how old are you?" Lin Yanran touched his head and asked with a smile.

Although Ruier hates being touched by others the most, because she is a good person who specializes in killing bad people, she gives some face, so she frowned and held back, and it did not embarrass her.

"Zhu Zhaorui, he will be three years old in twelve days. Sook-jeong replied on behalf of her son.

"Ouch, Auntie didn't bring a greeting gift with her!" Lin Yanran pulled her hair, "In this way, Rui'er, when you get to the town in front, Auntie will buy it for you, okay?"

"Good. Ruiel said yes crisply.

"Sister, you have something important, hurry up and leave us!" Shuzhen listened to her meaning, she wanted to go with her, although she wanted to do this so that her son and herself could be protected, but she was afraid of delaying their affairs, so she excused herself.

"How can this be done? What if you run into bad people again?"

"But ......"

"Don't shirk it! Let's go to Shaanxi, but we will also stop by the way. When you're done, I'll personally send you to Kongtong Mountain. ”

So he hugged Rui'er in one hand and pulled Shuzhen to the mount with the other, "Come, let's ride." When you get to the town ahead, I'll hire you a carriage. ”

Shuzhen sat in front of her with Rui'er in her arms, and Lin Yanran lifted the reins: "Sit tight...... Drive!"

Hui Xian urged the horse to follow, and muttered, "Senior sister is really good!

Junxian behind her whispered, "Senior sister did the right thing. Save people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. How can orphans and widows be reassured?"

Hui Xian turned around and whispered, "I'm not saying I shouldn't help them...... We have something important to do, when will we be able to arrive? This is an urgent matter for the rivers and lakes!"

Junxian said softly, "That being said, don't worry too much...... Quan Zhen and Huashan are not vegetarians...... Besides, I can't tell when the enemy's conspiracy will start......"

As soon as they had left the line for more than ten zhang, a large group of officers armed with blades and iron chains shouted after them, and a squad leader shouted: "Dare to kill murderers! Don't run! Get off your horse and be bound!"

Lin Yanran stopped her horse, jumped off the horse, and strode back, and was surrounded by all the officials in an instant.

When the head of the team saw her holding the long whip menacingly, he said angrily: "Put down your weapon...... Do you dare to resist arrest?"

"Listen, this girl killed the evil bully for you, and did harm to the local community, why do you still come to arrest me?" Lin Yanran raised her whip and pointed angrily at the leader.

"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules! If you kill someone, you have to go to the yamen with us and wait for the yamen to be released!"

Lin Yanran sighed, softened her tone, and arched her hand: "This big brother of the public family, I was willing to go with you through this experience, but I have something important to do, so I have to leave immediately...... Otherwise, when I'm done, I'll come back and turn myself in, how about it?"

"Hahaha!" The head of the team seemed to have heard a big joke, and suddenly glared, "Take it!"

"Hmph, don't complain about this girl's heavy hands! You forced me!" Lin Yanran waved her arms, and the red whip shadow came out, and in the sound of "pop" and "pop", the two officials who rushed to the outside of the Zhang Yu fell to the ground with a painful cry.

"It's the other way around!" the team leader was shocked and angry, "Give me the one with me, and hack this female thief to death!"

Lin Yanran circled with a long whip, wandering vertically and horizontally, and after a while, more than 30 officials all fell to the ground, and the sound of moaning was endless.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the head of the squad hit the horse and left, and just ran a few steps, the back collar was tight, and he was pulled off the horse.

"Don't be afraid, this girl won't hurt you!" Lin Yanran patted the shoulder of the frightened team leader, "Please go back and tell your boss: When the work is done, this girl will turn herself in." ”

"Good, good!" the head of the team turned pale and nodded.

Lin Yanran got back on the horse, looked back at him, saw him in a daze, and thought that he was worried about how to go back to explain, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, tell your boss: This girl is Emei Lin Yanran, and she is the daughter of Lin Tongzhi of Chengdu Prefecture." ”

"Huh?" The head of the team didn't expect her to have such a big background, and instantly turned to joy, and then panicked, and made a series of changes: "It turned out to be Miss Lin, offended! Offended! Please surrender! Please surrender!"

"Let's go back!" Lin Yanran waved her hand and rode away.

※※※

The group walked for several miles, and suddenly heard the sound of "Dede" galloping horses behind them, Lin Yanran looked back, but saw a group of people and horses galloping outside the room.

A short, sturdy and sturdy black-robed Taoist took the lead, shouting as he ran: "Get out of the way, the Taoist master is in a hurry!" The pedestrians on the road heard the sound and gave way one after another, and a middle-aged man who looked like a farmer couldn't dodge and was pushed down by him on the side of the road.

"These people are in such a hurry, there must be something urgent, let's get aside!" Junxian slowed the reins and took the lead to step aside.

"Aren't we in a hurry? These people are too crossy! Don't let them!" Lin Yanran raised her eyebrows and deliberately blocked the way.

"Senior Sister Lin, bear with me, don't be too troubled!" Junxian hurriedly beckoned at her and motioned for her to get out of the way.

Lin Yanran glanced at Shuzhen's mother and son on horseback in front of her, sighed lightly, and lifted the reins to the side of the road.

"Get out of the way!" the black-robed Taoist rushed forward like a gust of wind and shouted at Lin Yanran.

As soon as the words fell, with a "boom", a reddish-brown whip shadow swept down towards him. The black-robed Taoist was taken aback, and he slashed up on the back of the horse, and the long whip flashed against the soles of his shoes.

"Who is the one who wants to die, and dares to sneak attack Lao Tzu?!" As soon as the black-robed Taoist landed, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the galloping horse, and shouted loudly at the same time.

This person is naturally the earth's honor.

"Your aunt and grandmother!" Lin Yanran jumped off the horse and stood in the middle of the road with her waist crossed, her willow eyebrows upside down.

Dizun was furious and followed the prestige, but when he saw that it was a young woman in red, he could hardly believe his ears for a while.

"You?" Dizun squinted at her, "Who are you?

Her companions, who followed her, had an argument with her, and they all stopped to watch.

"The road is facing the sky, go half of each way!, why are you so arrogant!" Lin Yanran glared at him angrily.

"Stinky little lady, the deity wants you to look good!" Dizun was so angry that he couldn't care about his identity, his claws were open, and he grabbed her viciously.

"'Black chicken feet'!" Lin Yanran was taken aback, and a whip rolled towards his wrists, and Dizun grabbed it with his hand and grabbed the tip of the whip.

"Let go!" Dizun shouted, Shen Bu grabbed it, but felt that the other party was as steady as Mount Tai, not moving at all, his heart was shocked, and he was just about to abandon the whip and counterattack, when the red shadow pounced, and a slender jade palm rushed to his chest.

With a "bang", Dizun couldn't avoid it, and he slapped her, his chest shook, and he took a step back.

"Good guy!

"Come here!" Dizun was pulled closer, "brush" "brush" tore through the void, and his claws clawed at her throat.

Lin Yanran suddenly abandoned the whip handle, her hands flashed out, and she grabbed his left and right wrists, shook his shoulders, and threw him aside.

Dizun was not in a hurry to stand firm, and a kick popped out silently, kicking on his lower abdomen, and immediately like a hammer, he sat down on the ground with a "bang".

"What a trick 'water lily blossoms'!" Tianzun on horseback admired and asked in surprise: "This woman, you are from the Emei faction, right? May I ask, who are you from Puzhao Shitai?"

"It's the family teacher!" Lin Yanran smiled.

Tianzun dismounted and helped Dizun up, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my junior brother collided with the big driver!

Lin Yanran was born to be soft and not hard, and when she saw that he was polite, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it!"

Tianzun helped Dizun, who was holding his stomach and snorting, onto the horse, turned over on the horse, and asked, "May I ask what the woman is called?"

"Lin Yanran. Lin Yanran arched her hand at him. "No need to be polite, you can go!"

"Oh, it turned out to be the famous Lin Nuxia, and it really lives up to its name! Disrespectful! Disrespectful!" Tianzun smiled again and again and bowed his hand.

"Don't be polite, please go first!" Lin Yanran solemnly gave in.

As soon as Tianzun turned his head, his face immediately turned cold, and after walking a few feet, he asked Dizun behind him in a low voice: "How is it?"

"It's okay...... Just for a moment...... Breathe a sigh of relief...... That's it. Dizun gasped.

"That's good!" Tianzun said lightly: "It can be seen that people are merciful, otherwise...... Along the way, don't be so arrogant, don't get into unnecessary trouble again...... You know, I'm only 60% back. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Dizun listened to Tianzun's words the most, and nodded his head.

"Ah?...... They must be!" Shuzhen looked blankly at the Tianzun group who were gradually moving away, and suddenly her face became nervous, and she muttered to herself. She had never seen the Heaven and Earth Twin Venerables, so she didn't recognize them at the time.

"What's wrong?...... Who are they?" Lin Yanran stared at her curiously, "Hey, I'm so confused, why did I forget to ask them just now!"

"I've heard Shen Shaoxia describe, looking at the appearance of these tall and short people, it must be them, can't be wrong!" Shuzhen gradually became frightened, "I really chased after him, what should I do?"

Junxian and Huixian were also surprised, and hurriedly gathered around to ask what was going on.

Shuzhen briefly talked about Cherry Hill and Xu's rice shop, she didn't say the real reason for leaving Xu's rice shop, only said that she was afraid that the enemy would chase her, so she took the child to chase Shen Lingxiao and his party.

"What are you talking about?, the head of the Qingcheng Sect Zhenguan is dead?" Lin Yanran waited for her to finish speaking, and asked suspiciously.

"Well," Shuzhen nodded, "that Shen Shaoxia is his apprentice." ”

"I've heard of him," Lin Yanran nodded, "Let's catch up, and we'll talk about it in detail on the way!"

※※※

The wind was swaying, the thunder was faint, and the sky was gradually turning white.

"Hey, this annoying ghost weather!It's going to rain in the afternoon!" Shen Lingxiao sighed, and looked up at the sky above, the thick dark clouds couldn't pull the white and bright rain layer, and it looked like it was going to fall down at any time.

Sure enough, the raindrops the size of beans came as soon as they were said, crackling and causing smoke and dust to fly in the avenue.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and before long, he was drenched in a soup chicken.

"The road is too slippery, don't flash the horse!Let's find a place to shelter from the rain!" Shen Lingxiao muttered to himself, stopping the horse.

He vaguely remembered that he had seen a ruined temple near here when he came, so he looked around.

Sure enough, not far ahead, on the half-slope, a dark and dreary ruined temple cowered lonely in the torrential rain.

Shen Lingxiao got off the horse, slowly led the horse to the temple, and stretched out his hand to push open the hidden temple door.

Although the temple is dilapidated, it is not small, after the mountain gate hall on both sides of the two generals who are missing arms and legs, Shen Lingxiao bolted the horse under the eaves of the corridor in the courtyard, and entered the main hall. I saw that the hall enshrined the three Buddhas who fell off the mud fetus, the Buddha in the center of the statue collapsed halfway, the incense table was placed on the fruit plate that had been rotted, and the incense burner was inserted with a few incense sticks that had not been burned out.

Shen Lingxiao took off his wet brocade robe, wringed it dry, and put it on the offering table. Then he took out his baggage, and when he saw that the change of clothes inside was already soaked, he shook his head.

After thinking about it, I took out the wooden box given by the master and opened it to check, and saw that the cheats he copied were lying dry and dry in the box, so I was relieved.

He packed up his baggage and put it aside, trying to find a dry place to sit down and rest, and looked left and right, but when he saw that the hall was full of water, like a river, he looked up at the roof full of holes, and smiled bitterly.

The water in the main hall is so thick that it makes people feel like they are in the wilderness under a rainstorm, except for the sound of rain, the whole temple is lifeless and desolate.

Shen Lingxiao sighed lightly, and simply walked out of the hall bare-chested, looking at the dense rain curtain in the sky.

He was distracted for a moment, suddenly clenched his fists and bent his arms, looked down at his strong pectoral muscles, patted his muscular arms again, and smiled with satisfaction.

"That's really good! Not only is the rainy night a pleasure, but the day is even more hearty!" Shen Lingxiao muttered to himself.

He looked at the vast land shrouded in rain in a daze, and suddenly, a pride that was big and allowed me to gallop filled his chest, and he couldn't help but let out a long roar.

As soon as the whistle fell, I suddenly heard a voice from the avenue: "Look, there is a temple on the mountainside, let's go there to take shelter from the rain!"

Shen Lingxiao's heart tightened, and he walked quickly to the back of the temple gate to take a look, but when he saw a group of people leading horses, he slowly came up to this side, and when he looked at it, the tall and thin Taoist led by him was Tianzun, and he was surprised.

So he hurriedly turned around to untie the reins of his horse, and when he was halfway through it, his mind moved: "No! The enemy is approaching in the blink of an eye, and once he goes out, he will be immediately surrounded by masses! How can he escape from the fact that the road is so slippery on this mountainside?...... Let's just find a place to hide first, and then find a chance to get out when they're all in!"

At that moment, he quickly ran back to the hall, put on his wet robe, tied the burden tightly to his shoulders, picked up a long sword, ran out of the hall, and hid behind a big incense tripod in the courtyard.

Just after hiding their figures, Tianzun and his party entered the mountain gate.

"Hey, there's a horse!" a shrill man's voice.

"Yes, I heard a whistling sound just now, it must have come from here!"

Shen Lingxiao's heart beat faster, he leaned over and lay on the ground, looking from the gap between Xiangding's feet, he could only see the lower body of the person who came, and counted them, there were thirteen people in total.

"I'll go inside!" a crisp woman's voice said.

Shen Lingxiao was shocked when he heard this: Miss Tang Zixuan is also here!

"Wait a minute!" Shen Lingxiao didn't know that this person was Tang Yi, "Little sister, I'll go with you!"

"Listen to the whistling, this person has good skills. Senior brother, you go in too, be careful!" Tianzun ordered.

Shen Lingxiao saw that the three of them entered the hall cautiously, and his heart moved: the two respects have already separated, if they don't leave at this time, when will they stay?

He recognized Tianzun's figure five feet away from his mount, but he didn't know that Tianzun was already injured, and he only thought that he must not let go of this fleeting opportunity.

So, under the cover of the rain, he slowly drew his long sword.

He looked at the route and thought of the steps: first sneak attack Tianzun with the fast sword of "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", although it could not hurt him, but it would definitely force him to protect himself; at the same time, he pretended to pounce on the enemy who was mobilized and intercepted by his mount, and then quickly passed through the encirclement with the "three cai steps", and went out of the temple gate first.

With a "swish", a sword light cut through the rain curtain and rushed to Tianzun's throat.

Tianzun was taken aback, dodged and took a step back, and grabbed the sword with the claw of "Xiao".

But he forgot that this claw, whether it was speed or strength, was far less than before the injury, and he was able to grasp the sword body steadily, his left shoulder hurt, blood burst out, and he had already been hit by the sword.

Tianzun snorted in pain, gathered the tip of his claws, and was about to break the long sword with one claw, when suddenly his fingertips were in sharp pain, and he hurriedly abandoned the sword body and came out backwards.

Shen Lingxiao didn't expect a sword to hurt the enemy, but still feint to pounce on the mount as originally planned, suddenly turned around, and swam through between the two enemies like a fish, the figure flickered, and flew out of the temple gate.

"What are you doing in a daze, chase after you!" Tianzun pressed his left shoulder tightly, the back of his hand was drenched in blood, and he cried out through gritted teeth.
