Chapter 185: The Icon Apparition
Niutou Mountain, the terrain is fierce. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is a shortcut path to Kyoto.
A slightly shady alleyway.
Several strange figures flickered.
The figure at the head spoke, "Have you found out clearly?
The others nodded.
"Can't be wrong! The news from the Flying Eagle can't be wrong. ā
Whoosh...
A few figures walked out of the darkness, and they were a few middle-aged men with scumbags on their faces and sharp eyes.
"Finish this time. We'll just have it done. ā
It's a bunch of killers.
......
......
Xu Ke is the son of Xu Yuanwai, a big chaebol.
Ten days ago.
Xu Ke set off from Xu County to Kyoto.
On the way, I met some other fellow poets who read poetry and books.
Go together.
At the spacious Niutou Pass, two carriages suddenly rushed in, and the one driving the horse was a burly man.
In the inner compartment of the carriage sat several young students.
Huck was among them.
At this moment, he said to the man in white shirt with an elegant face: "Brother Liu." In a few days, we will be in Kyoto. For my brother, I would like to congratulate you on your high third grade. ā
The man in the white shirt looked very humble.
"Brother Xu, don't make fun of me. I am not as good as Brother Xu in terms of knowledge, and I am even worse than Brother Xu in terms of knowledge. In terms of family background, I am not as good as Brother Xu. ā
Xu Ke smiled and did not speak.
The man in the white shirt is none other than Liu Yanchang.
He set off from Liujia Village half a month ago.
On the fifth day, he happened to pass by Xu County and unexpectedly became a strong Xuke.
The two hit it off at first sight.
Each has his own knowledge.
The carriage galloped along the mountain path, and there was a neighing and crying.
Suddenly.
Two large boulders flew down from above the col.
"Boom!"
The sturdy horse was hit on the head by a large rock.
On the spot, his brain burst and he died.
The carriage was also overturned.
Xu Ke, Liu Yanchang and several other young students were shocked and hurriedly climbed out of the car.
The carriage behind hit it again, almost hitting Xu Ke and Liu Yanchang.
At the moment of crisis, the man who was still driving the horse stood in front of the two.
"Bang!"
The man who was driving the horse was hit in the chest by the horse's hooves, vomited blood on the spot, and flew upside down, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The two carriages were whining and smoking, and they were all damaged.
The retinue immediately gathered around, looking around vigilantly.
Xu Ke's face sank like water.
First he looked at the destroyed carriage, then at the top of the mountain.
Whoosh...
Eight men dressed in black appeared on both sides of the col with bows and crossbows.
I don't know who said it.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, the arrows and crossbows shot at Xu Ke and the others like a drizzle.
Sou...
One of the Xu family's guards was accidentally hit by an arrow, and immediately foamed at the mouth, and the corners of his eyes turned black.
Poison on the arrow?
Xu Ke went to Beijing this time to apply for the martial arts champion.
Some kung fu.
He drew a sword from his waist and shot down several feathered arrows with a strange technique.
Sou...
Another Xu family guard fell.
Under the arrow, another black shadow ran up, threw a black sack with a flick of his hand, and slashed at it.
"Bang!"
The sack was slashed, and the black ash inside was sprayed violently.
Soon I heard Xu Ke's angry voice.
"This ash is also poisonous. Evacuate ......"
Several young students ran slowly, were hit by several arrows, and died on the spot.
Liu Yanchang was also hit by an arrow in the calf, and he limped when he ran.
Xu Ke was furious.
Wielding the sword in his hand, he cut down several poisonous arrows, picked up Liu Yanchang and fled quickly.
"Young Master, let's go..."
Niutou Mountain is not big, but if there is no carriage to travel, even if it is a light work, it will take a long time.
What's more, Xu Ke also carried Liu Yanchang a burden.
Sou...
The last of the Xu family guards was also killed.
The big man in black stared coldly at the direction in which Xu Ke had fled.
Said coldly.
"Chase!"
Liu Yanchang felt sad in his heart.
I don't know how this unwarranted disaster came so suddenly.
I had the heart to ask Xu Ke, but I didn't dare to ask.
Liu Yanchang didn't know. Xu Ke was also confused.
"Brother Xu. You can't run like this. Sooner or later, I'll be chased, don't worry about me, run by yourself. Liu Yanchang said.
"No! we're friends. I promise that someone will never abandon a friend and run for his life alone. If you want to die, you will die together. ā
Xu Ke is really a man.
Liu Yanchang was moved.
The two fled to a newly renovated temple.
I'm really tired.
Looking back, the pursuers didn't catch up for the time being.
Liu Yanchang said, "Let's go to the temple to rest for a while......
Xu Ke breathed down.
Nodding in agreement.
Entered the temple.
The first thing that catches your eye is a holy icon standing due north.
The owner of the icon is a peerless fairy with a kind face and a solemn dress.
Xu Ke saw the icon. bowed and said, "The three holy mothers of great mercy and compassion." Disciple Xu Ke did not intend to offend, and asked Niang Niang to let the two of us rest here for a while. ā
The statue of the Three Virgins also.
Liu Yanchang endured the pain in his calf and knelt down.
Worshipped: "Disciple Liu Yanchang." I've seen the Three Holy Niangniang. ā
As he spoke.
Then a man in black sneaked out of the door.
Sou...
A cold arrow struck, and Xu Ke was shot in the heart without checking for a while.
Poof!
The arrow shot quickly and accurately, hitting the heart and killing Xu Ke in one fell swoop.
The man in black walked into the temple with a sneer, glanced at Xu Ke with his flickering cold eyes, and laughed reassuringly when he was sure that the other party was really dead.
"Xu Gongzi, don't blame a certain family for being ruthless, this is all your aunt's order. Without you, her son will be able to inherit all the old man's inheritance......"
As he spoke, he made up a few more knives.
Liu Yanchang was furious when he heard this.
Out of nowhere, he quickly picked up the sword on the ground and stabbed the black-clothed man in front of him.
Well?
The black-clothed man suddenly noticed something, sneered, and stabbed with his backhand, and Liu Yanchang's sword flew out.
Sou...
The tip of the knife pressed against Liu Yanchang's throat, making a strange sound of weeping and bloodthirsty.
"The surname is Liu. If you want to blame it, you made the wrong friend. Let's die together. ā
The blade of the cold light slashed hard.
Liu Yanchang panicked......
Ten years of hard study, the expectant eyes of the villagers, and the deliberate advice of the old mother are still in my ears......
Clang!
The scene of blood splattering did not appear, and at the critical moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared.
With just one flick, the Cold Light Blade flew far away.
"Who?"
The man in black looked shocked.
Look around.
But...
There was silence all around.
Who's there?
Dahan was puzzled.
But years of bloody hard work made him dare not take it lightly.
Waited a while.
Still no movement.
The big man took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it at Liu Yanchang's throat.
Bang...
Another ray of light.
The dagger shattered! The big man's body was also forced back by a sudden strong wind, more than ten feet away.
His face was so frightened that he no longer ventured, but turned around and fled.
The other side.
Liu Yanchang always closed his eyes and thought he was dead.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
After waiting for a long time, it seems that he is not dead?
Slowly opened his eyes, followed by an attack of arrow poison, and his eyes were dark and fainted.
......
......
The holy and bright moonlight shone obliquely in, and until the second half of the night, no more assassins attacked.
At this moment, the icon manifested slightly, revealing a young woman with bright eyes and jade skin.
It was Yang Lian.
