The day has blink of an eye to the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe grass in the mountains is withered and the leaves are yellow, the spring is cold and the stones are thin, the fallen trees are boundless, and they are down. The autumn water on the river is surging, and there is a scene of slaughter. In the past, you could hear a boatman's horn on the river from Taiheguan, but today it is silent. Xuan Xuozi ordered his disciples to stop practicing early, and they were exempted from guarding posts, and they made a fire to cook together, and ate and drank together. When you are full of wine and food, it should have been the time to admire the moon, but the sky is not beautiful, and the clouds cover the moon. The Taoist priests were not interested, and Xuan Xuozi drank a few glasses of sake, and then dismissed his disciples and went back to the house to rest.

In the second half of the night, the wind suddenly rose, thunder and lightning. The little Taoist priest Wang Xi was awakened by the thunder at night, just because he greedily ate a few more river crabs, and poured a cup of herbal tea with thirst, so that the lower abdomen was in severe pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and he was delayed outside for a long time, but after returning to the house, he faintly smelled a fishy smell.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed, and Wang Shi was frightened to death by the scene in front of him. I saw that several brothers in the same room were like dry bones, bleeding from the seven orifices and dying, and the horror of the scene was like being killed by evil ghosts.

"There's... Yes... There are ghosts! there are ghosts...... Come on!" Wang staggered out of the house and roared more than a dozen times, until he was hoarse and fell into the courtyard with a muffled sound. The sound stopped, the thunder roared, and the rain poured down.

The east and north rooms lit up one after another, and suddenly everyone picked up the lamps and swords, and rushed to the courtyard in disheveled clothes. Xuan Xuozi took the lead in the rain and ran to Wang Xian, who fell in the heavy rain, bowed down to help him up, stretched out his hand to find the pulse but couldn't feel a pulse, and learned that he had no chance of survival. He didn't care about his grief, and ordered a few disciples to light the lanterns in the courtyard and guard them everywhere.

Xuan Xuozi put down Wang Shi's corpse and looked around angrily, looked carefully among the disciples, and suddenly realized that the disciples had all rushed from each room, but only the west wing room did not make a sound, and he hurriedly led a group of disciples to the west wing. Everyone entered the house and picked up the lights to see that they were all shocked by the scene in front of them, and more than ten people in the west wing room had been brutally murdered, and all of them died with hideous faces. Everyone present was shocked, and some cowardly Taoist priests fainted to death on the spot. Xuan Xuozi, who had always been well-informed, couldn't help but be shocked and gasped, and asked himself in his heart what kind of master could make his disciples silent and killed.

Everyone was in shock, and suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "A junior brother has been killed by an evil ghost!" Xuan Xuzi ran towards the sound of his sword, and two disciples had already fallen in a pool of blood. Before Xuan Xuozi could check the injury, another disciple on the other end exclaimed: "Come on, come on! The senior brother who guards the door, Hu Chang, is dead!" How do you know that the disciple Hu Chang died even worse, and he broke his stomach so that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

"There really is... There are ghosts, run away!" One person shouted, and the rest of the Taoist priests could no longer calm down, so they scattered and fled in all directions. Hearing only two "whoosh" sounds, the two Taoist priests who took the lead in escaping to the door fell to the ground, and the rest of the Taoist priests did not dare to take another step forward.

Xuanxuzi Daoist roared angrily: "Apprentices, if you don't want to die, come back to me and line up!" When the Taoist priests were frightened, they suddenly heard the master's urgent summons, and saw the second senior brother Meng Qi holding high the order flag and standing in the center of the hospital, so they hurriedly gathered around and surrounded him in the middle. The clothes of the Taoist priests were soaked by the rain, and their actions were disjointed and slow. Although it was a mess, fortunately, the star-scattering sword formation had been formed, and their respective sword blades were facing outward to defend against the enemy.

Outside the sword array, Xuan Xuozi held a Liangyi long sword, frowned coldly, gritted his teeth with hatred, and angrily reprimanded: "What kind of person is coming to me to pretend to be a ghost, hurry up and show up to see it! What kind of hero is a sneaky man!" Xuan Xuozi shouted several times, but there was still no trace of anyone. The more no one answered, the more the night rain scared the Taoist priests into disappointment.

Xuan Xuozi was even more furious, and scolded: "You and other shameless rats will only do these things that hurt people with secret arrows, why don't you have the courage to compete in person!" As soon as the words fell, listen to the "whoosh" in front of you...... Whoosh whoosh ...... "There are a hundred and ten sharp steel needles flying.

"Quickly block the hidden weapon!" Xuan Xuzi shouted. On the side of the sword array, there was the sound of steel needles and long swords clanging. "Ah...... Woo...... Uh......" More than a dozen Taoist priests in the formation fell in response. These steel needles were as dense as a shower, and Xuan Xuzi was only worried about the safety of his disciples, so he couldn't dodge and was hit by a needle in his left shoulder.

There was another thunder and lightning, and dozens of figures jumped on the surrounding walls and roofs. Xuan Xuozi looked from afar, and saw the mottled place of lights and shadows, these people were covered in black, covered with black veils, and there were many shadows, some seemed to be holding a Pu knife in their hands, some seemed to be holding a spear in their hands, and some seemed to be holding a long sword and a meteor hammer.

The first person in the figure shouted at Xuan Xuozi: "Niu Nose, hand over the things, leave your whole corpse!" Xuan Xuozi listened to the sound and identified the person, and had already recognized this person as Qiu Rong who had escaped the day before yesterday, and secretly hated: You thief used to hide your identity in Taiheguan, and most of the apprentices couldn't recognize you, but I recognized you very much. It is expected that your clumsy martial arts will only use some obscene means, and today I will capture you with my hands and stab you to death with a sword!

Holding a grudge to this point, Xuan Xuozi rushed to the acupoint regardless of his injury, forced a steel needle out of his left shoulder, and flew up to the roof, and said to Qiu Rong with contempt: "Okay, Erru thief! It turns out that he wants to make money, and all the valuable things of the poor road are brought with him, and those who have the ability can come and take them!" Before Qiu Rong could reply, Xuan Xuzi's fast sword was already pressed to his chest, and in the panic, the soles of his feet slipped and almost fell.

At the critical moment, the black-clothed man holding the meteor hammer on the side jumped to parry, barely resisting the sword that stabbed Qiu Rong's chest. Xuanxuzi's sword was bounced back by the sledgehammer, and his heart sank, and he said secretly: I can't imagine that except for Qiu Rong, none of these people are ordinary people. This big man who makes the meteor hammer is very powerful, I should be careful.

"Brothers, don't leave your mouth alive, kill the Taoist priests here!" Qiu Rong gave an order, and more than a dozen men in black jumped down from the height and rushed towards the sword array. Seeing that the enemy was menacing, Meng Qi even shouted a secret phrase and led the change of formation.

The star-scattering sword array was firmly gathered with the momentum of "the stars holding the moon", and more than a dozen men in black attacked from everywhere without any flaws. In the array, the Taoist priests each held a long sword, sometimes turning in circles around Meng Qi, sometimes in reverse circles, and the number of moves used by each person was different. These black-clothed men were about to break the sword move in front of them, and immediately changed to another Taoist priest to confront them, using another move, which really gave them a headache.

The sword formation turned faster and faster, and these black-clothed men were able to take the initiative to meet the attack at first, but in the end, they only had to see the moves, and they were about to be dragged into the sword formation and cut into meat puree, and their palms were sweating, and they retreated again and again, and their weapons gradually became unstable.

The Xuanxuzi Liangyi sword danced wildly in the high place, pressing the meteor hammer man step by step. "Qiankun hangs upside down", "Seven Stars Chasing the Moon", "Heng Dang Galaxy", these three moves in the Seven Star Swordsmanship attack him in the upper, middle and lower three ways, and the big man has almost no power to fight back. After a few rounds, the meteor hammer man swayed left and right, and gradually lost his center of gravity.

Xuan Xuozi saw that the big man was overwhelmed, and suddenly used an extremely fierce "Nine Heavens Star Fall". I saw him rise into the air, spinning for several weeks, and converging into a strong force in the big man's chest, and the sword flowers splashed out in a rain, with silver light and a cold air. "Go!" Xuan Xuzi shouted. Look at the meteor hammer man again, he was stabbed with four or five big holes in his body, and he fell to the ground.

This scene was fully seen by a black-clothed man with a hook in both hands, and screamed: "Second brother!" He was furious, and at the moment, he stepped on a person's shoulder, raised his double hook above his head, and went straight to Xuanxuzi's chopping general. Xuan Xuozi expected that this person had a great friendship with the meteor hammer man, and he would inevitably take revenge and not underestimate it. Unexpectedly, the double hook seemed heavy, but in fact it was a bluff and a false move, in order to hang Xuan Xuozi's long sword.

The double-hooked man's plan succeeded, and his arms sank backwards repeatedly, threatening to hook the long sword away. Xuan Xuzi knew that this was the way to unload the weapon, and his body faced the trend of his double hooks, shook his wrists with his longitudinal arms, and with a little skill, he chose the long sword, and then turned to split the head of the man with the double hooks. The man protected the top of his head with a double hook, and slammed his arms left and right, and Xuan Xuzi's long sword was slashing in the middle, locked tightly. The two fought together, and they couldn't hold each other for a while.

Xuan Xuozi took advantage of the stalemate between the two sides and asked, "Your Excellency is the 'Spirit Arm Mantis' Dong Gongsheng, one of the 'Star and Moon Twin Heroes'?

The man with the double hook didn't want to be recognized in a night suit, and he had no scruples to speak even more without scruples: "Yes, my two brothers are married to the rivers and lakes, and their love is more than flesh and blood." If you kill my second brother today, I will devour you alive!" As he spoke, the bruises on his forehead burst out, showing that he was extremely resentful.

Xuan Xuozi was deliberately showing weakness and entangled with the double-hooked men, so as to wait for an opportunity to find out the origin and purpose of this group of black-clothed men. This question led him to ask a lot of questions. It turns out that this "star and moon heroes" are the green forest robbers who have been rampant in Huainan in recent years, and they burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil. Not only did the common people suffer from it, but even the official posts were looted by these two people one after another. The yamen of various prefectures and counties ordered the arrest of the two a few years ago, but the "stars and moons" relied on their proud skills, and most of them were not allowed to be arrested. One of these two brothers made a meteor hammer and the other made a moon blade double hook, so they called themselves "stars and moons", and the chivalrous people of the rivers and lakes and the people of the government called them "stars and moons" to show that they did evil.

Xuan Xuozi has figured out the origin of the two people, and said in his heart: These two thieves poisoned the people and harmed the martial arts, and if they fall into my hands today, they will definitely make them have no return. One of the "double murderers" has been seriously injured by me. I'm going to kill the rest of the rest. Then I thought again: I did kill a lot of big thieves and thieves when I walked the rivers and lakes a few years ago, but I have never met these two thieves, and the two of them have always traveled alone, but today they have joined forces with such a group of unknown people to kill my Taoist temple, what is the reason? What is their relationship with Qiu Rong? Could it be that they also came for the thing in my hand?

Thinking of this, Xuan Xuozi sneered, and said to Dong Gongsheng, the spirit arm mantis: "You once spoke arrogantly in the rivers and lakes, claiming to be the hero of Liangshan after Dong Ping. At that time, Erzu was ranked among the five tiger generals of Liangshan, known as 'a brave two-spear general, a romantic marquis of ten thousand households', and he was also a heroic figure who acted uprightly, how could he be passed on to his generation to become such a fly camp and a dog, wouldn't he be ashamed?

Dong Gongsheng saw that the righteous brother died under the sword of Xuanxuzi, and he hated him to the bone marrow, and now he only wants revenge, where can he still listen to these words. Just listening to him talk about the scenery of his ancestors, he still took care of his face, and said coldly: "Hmph! I came to kill you today on the order of the government!" Xuan Xuozi couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard him say "on the order of the government", thinking that he had never had anything to do with the government, and he felt that things were very strange today.

At this time, two more men in black came to attack, Xuan Xuzi's eyes were quick and he didn't hesitate, and he separated the sword hooks that were glued together with a flying leg. followed by a somersault, and easily fell behind the two men in black. One of the two men made Pu Dao, the other made a spear, and together with Dong Gongsheng, the three of them worked together to attack Xuanxuzi, but they didn't have the slightest advantage.

Xuan Xuozi saw that the three of them were fighting, and he didn't want to waste any more time and wanted to urge the internal force, but he felt powerless, and the more he felt that his true qi was softer and weaker a few times, he didn't dare to use it again, and only used exquisite sword moves to defend each other. The three of them took the opportunity to force each other with internal force, and Xuan Xuzi had gradually fallen into the wind.

Xuan Xuozi was outnumbered on the roof, but the sword formation of the disciples forced dozens of black-clothed men in the courtyard to retreat. Just when the black-clothed men were at a loss, they suddenly heard a strange sound, and a black shadow flashed into the center like a ghost, and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha! The Salt Gang, known as the largest gang in the south of the Yangtze River, was trapped here by a few Taoist priests, and it was funny!" Everyone only cared about fighting each other, and they didn't notice when a black shadow flashed in the courtyard, and they were all stunned.

A man in black shouted at the black shadow: "You Netherworld Sect Hugh should be arrogant! My Salt Gang only came with one rudder, if our gang leader came in person, would there still be this Taoist temple in front of him?!" The man snorted, and said indignantly: "The Netherworld Sect is known as 'people block killing, and Buddhas block killing Buddhas.'" Now that this sword array is in front of you, I want to see how you can break this formation first!" another man in black chimed in: "Hmph! If you talk about assassination and plotting, your Netherworld Sect should be the first. If you really fight to the death, you may not be the opponent of our salt gang!"

Xuan Xuzi was busy with one enemy and three enemies, but his ears listened to the conversation of these people word for word, and he couldn't help but wonder: Even the two unrelated forces of the Salt Gang and the Netherworld Sect have also come to my Taoist temple, and there seems to be a tacit understanding between them, who can lead such a group of mixed people?

The black shadow turned his back to the crowd and did not answer, and a woman's smirk came from the distance: "Funny! Funny!" A graceful female phantom fluttered down from the wall. This woman has wide sleeves in a white robe, a white umbrella in her hand, and her whole body is plain but her lips are thickly smeared, and she can't stop smiling. She leaned down on the black shadow, her slender jade hand lightly resting on his shoulder, and she sneered and laughed: "It's really laughing at the slave family! These stinky foot men of the Salt Gang are really interesting! As long as you kill the Taoist priest with the flag, this sword array will naturally be wiped out." No one understands such a simple truth, what a bunch of fools!"

How could the children of the Salt Gang stand such an insult, but they didn't dare to rush recklessly when they saw the black and white shadows in front of them. Only the person at the head dared not to be angry: "It turned out to be the two holy envoys of the Netherworld Sect, the Black Wind Envoy and the White Rakshasa of the Netherworld, although your Netherworld Sect is proud of its high martial arts, but my Bai Dechang's Huainan rudder is not a vegetarian!"

The Black Wind Envoy said contemptuously: "Oh, since the White Helmsman is arrogant, how about killing the Taoist priest holding the flag first?"

"Yes, yes, the white helmsman is also a well-known figure in the Salt Gang, so it is better to let the slave family see the methods of the first helmsman in Jiangnan. The White Rakshasa replied.

Bai Dechang took a sip, and with an order, five or six black-clothed Salt Gang disciples jumped up and attacked from above the sword formation. Unexpectedly, the six or seven Taoist priests in the array all threw out their long swords, and the swords were fired together, and the five or six Salt Gang disciples died through their hearts. Seeing his companions end up like this, the rest of the gang was in chaos and retreated a few feet away.

At this time, the gate of the formation suddenly opened, and the circular sword array dispersed in all directions, and the flag-holding Taoist Meng Qi was exposed outside the array, and the sword array seemed to have become disorderly. Bai Dechang saw the opportunity and ordered several Salt Gang disciples to rush towards Meng Qi. The sword formation suddenly changed at this moment, and somehow more than ten Taoist priests had come from these people in all directions, the gate of the formation was closed, Meng Qi disappeared into the formation, and several salt gangsters were hacked to death by the chaotic sword in an instant. This change is the essence of the Star Scattering Sword Array, called "Star Scattering Long River". Since then, the people of the Salt Gang have become more and more chaotic, and one person rushed into the sword formation like crazy, and after a while, he only heard a miserable scream, and then there was no sound.

"Lord White Helm, if we continue like this, our whole rudder brothers will have to be buried here, you should think of a way. A Salt Gang kid said urgently. Bai Dechang suddenly lost the arrogance just now, his face was very ugly, and said: "Our Salt Gang is the largest gang in Jiangnan, if you talk about strength, you will naturally be better than others, but these stinky Taoist priests are scheming, and now they have broken so many brothers, I think... It's better to think long-term. When everyone heard the helmsman say this, they pretended not to be very unwilling on the surface, but in fact they secretly applauded, wishing that the helmsman would give an order to leave this ghost place quickly.

"The helper asked us to take the treasure for the court, but none of us have ever seen what this treasure looks like, let alone its benefits, and it is really not worth wasting the lives of our brothers for this. Now there are many heroes here, and now there are two holy envoys of the Netherworld Sect, even if we get the treasure, I am afraid that they may not be willing to give up this work. It's better for us to retreat first, and when we go back, we can return to our lives on the grounds that the treasure has been taken away by the second envoy of the Netherworld. Bai Dechang gave the salt gang a reassuring pill to everyone, and everyone did not hesitate to follow the words of the helmsman and quickly withdrew from the Taoist temple.

As soon as the Salt Gang dispersed, there were many fewer people in the black-pressed Taoist temple, and the black-clothed men who were originally watching had no idea of retreating before they had made a move with the sword array.
