Chapter 15: Caught in the Middle
I have never seen the black-clothed man who asked for the Linglong mechanism, but he met the mysterious and strange Netherworld Villa, listening to the tone of the hall master, he actually came for the wordless heavenly book, it seems that as the bloody hand Tong Tian who is the right protector of the law, his position is still under the hall master. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fang Baiyi frowned secretly, what is the origin of this Netherworld Mountain Villa, why have he never heard of it.
In the early years, Mr. mentioned the Jianghu sect, black and white, the distinction between good and evil, and only mentioned one sentence of Yan Luogu, acting perversely, for the sake of the rivers and lakes, regarded as evil demons and demons, but many years ago by the major sects of the rivers and lakes broke through, the ice disintegrated. The demons with a little reputation in the Yama Valley have all been given their heads and ambushed, and their foundations have been destroyed, and it is impossible to resurrect them.
The Netherworld Villa that suddenly appeared, but it took the notorious big devils such as the bloody hand Tong Tian under his command, and commanded him with arrogance. The black-clothed people in the main hall are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and the black-clothed people known as the hall master are even more unfathomable.
"Lord Qiqi, Yanhui, the old bald donkey, will return to Shaolin, it will take time, and there will always be food and lodging along the way, and we will also have the opportunity to do it and rob the wordless book of heaven. The man in black in the hall proposed.
"Humph!"
The black-clothed man known as the hall master snorted angrily and said: "This seat naturally knows, but although Yan Hui is old, he has participated in the creation, and there are old rivers and lakes such as the three friends of the old and cold, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to get it, and the wordless heavenly book is sealed in the Linglong treasure box, equipped with strong gunpowder, extremely corrosive venom, and the nine exquisite organs are in the hands of all the rivers and lakes, even if we win the Linglong treasure box, we can't take out the wordless heavenly book." ”
"Hall Master, can't the Nine Wonders of making the exquisite treasure box be opened?"
The black-clothed man known as the hall master slowly shook his head and said: "It is said that the Linglong treasure box was originally used by Jiu Miao for the funeral of his beloved woman, and he never thought that it would be cracked. ”
"Hall Master, as far as my subordinates know, the last exquisite mechanism of the treasure box was set up by a young man, and no sect or faction does not belong to any side of the Jianghu forces, as long as we take it down and control a delicate mechanism, wouldn't it be ......?"
The black-clothed man's eyes lit up with a glint in his eyes, and he shouted categorically, "Who is a young man?"
"Fang Baiyi, it is not yet known where his identity comes from. ”
"Hahaha, okay! Spread the word of this seat, at all costs, find out this Fang Baiyi, no matter what means are used, this seat will definitely get the exquisite mechanism in his hand. The man in black, known as the hall master, laughed wildly and shouted.
Fang Baiyi, who was hidden on the roof, smiled bitterly secretly.
Those who want to get involved in the wordless book of heaven on the rivers and lakes all aim their eyes at themselves, and they are willing to get it, but in this way, how dare they dare to return home?
Follow the wordless book along the way, acting cautiously, but not wanting to be still scrolled in it.
It's just that I don't know if Master Yanhui has ever thought of this festival when he invited him. If he had already thought of it, he was afraid that Master Yanhui would invite him to set up a Linglong mechanism, and he also had the intention of diverting the attention of people in the rivers and lakes.
Shaolin is in charge of the bull's ears in the rivers and lakes, even if the Wudang faction is slightly inferior, as for whether it can be successfully opened the Linglong treasure box and take out the wordless heavenly book, Shaolin must not care. As long as the wordless book is sealed in the Linglong treasure box, placed in the Shaolin Temple, and a Linglong mechanism is mastered, no one can cross Shaolin to obtain the wordless book of heaven and shake Shaolin's status in the rivers and lakes.
To be old and not die is to be a thief!
If this is the case, Fang Baiyi has been pitted by Master Yanhui, but it is a pity that now, even if it is confronted face-to-face, I am afraid that Master Yanhui will flatly deny it.
The rivers and lakes are sinister, but they gave Fang Baiyi a painful lesson.
Fu Xiangning was also shocked, obviously thinking of the stakes, Hao's wrist flip was already holding Fang Baiyi's broad palm, and his eyes were full of self-blame. If it weren't for the momentary negligence and failure to think of this section, how could he persuade Fang Baiyi to deal with this matter, so that he is now deeply trapped in it, in this sinister situation at the moment.
A slight smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, Fang Baiyi shook his head slowly, and his palm covered Fu Xiang's slender hand, indicating that it was okay and could be relieved.
Suddenly, the black-clothed man in the main hall, known as the hall master, shouted in a deep voice: "What kind of person!
Fang Baiyi and the others were all shocked, all thinking that Xingzang was exposed, and the black-clothed people in the main hall noticed it, they looked at each other, and were about to appear, but they only heard the sound of the outer clothes of the temple door breaking through the air, and more than ten figures swept over the courtyard wall and fell in the courtyard.
The long sword was thin and narrow, and a black scarf was hung on the hat to cover his face, just like the black-clothed man who appeared in the inn before.
The black-clothed man known as the hall master also led everyone out of the hall and came to the courtyard, but he was slightly surprised. When Yan Jun of the Ten Halls of the Netherworld Mountain Villa traveled to the rivers and lakes, he covered his face with a black scarf, and he was not allowed to show his true face, but he didn't want to meet another group of black-clothed people who covered their faces with black scarves and had unknown origins.
"Whoever comes, report the name quickly, this seat is in charge of life and death in the world, and you can be rewarded with a whole corpse. The man in black, known as the Lord of the Temple, shouted.
"Hmph, pretend to be a ghost!" the man in black snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You are not the people we are looking for, leave this place quickly, don't force yourself to come out, so as not to suffer misfortune." ”
"Hahaha......"
The black-clothed man known as the hall master laughed angrily, and said: "Seeing this seat, no one can survive, and they are already dying, and they dare to speak out here. ”
With a wave of his arm, more than a dozen black-clothed people behind him shook their swords and pounced.
The swords were in the air, the roar was endless, the gold and iron were resonant, and the two sides were already in hand. Later, the black-clothed man wearing a hat moved under his feet, his body was staggered, and he laid down a lore sword array, and fought with the people of Netherworld Villa, the sword body was shining with silver, bringing up the ghost of the Dao, which was particularly eye-catching in the night, and the heavy sword shadows rose and fell, besieging and killing the black-clothed people in Netherworld Villa.
The black-clothed people wearing hats, regardless of their swordsmanship and skills, were more than one step ahead of the black-clothed people in the previous inn, and they joined forces to attack the sword formation, and the power was doubled, and a sword stabbed out, and several people echoed.
Even though the black-clothed people in the Netherworld Villa are elites, their skills are not weak, but they are not good at joining forces to attack together, surrounding the black-clothed people wearing hats, roaring with strength, flashing cold, and gradually compressing the opponent's space to move, but they have never been able to break through the lore sword formation.
Two of them were greedy for merit, and they didn't want the cold light in the sword array to skyrocket, so they suddenly shrouded the two of them in the shadow of the sword, if they didn't help in time, they were afraid that the two of them would be planted here.
Even so, the two of them were hung in many places, and their blood flowed for a long time, and they were almost powerless to fight again.
Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, the black-clothed man known as the hall master was already impatient, and in the roar, his arms were staggered, and there were already two more iron claws and steel sleeves, which went straight to his elbows and protected his arms in it. stepped forward, squeezed into the sword array, several long swords pierced in front of him with cold light, and his arms were circled, but the black-clothed man who was called the hall master was all grasped in his hand.
The sword body twisted, and the iron claw steel sleeve creaked, but it was like an iron cast, and it didn't move.
The palm of his palm spat wildly, and the sword body was all broken, and the man in black who was called the hall master raised his leg and kicked out, kicking several black-clothed people wearing hats to the head. Before he could get up, he was already dead by the sword of Netherworld.
The lore sword array has been broken, and the black-clothed people wearing hats can no longer resist it, and in less than a moment, they have all died in the hands of the black-clothed people in the Netherworld Villa, but they don't even have a chance to throw a flying fire meteor.
"Search!"
The black-clothed man known as the hall master ignored the corpses everywhere, but cast his eyes on the main hall and shouted. The heart is as careful as a hair, and the man in black wearing a hat once said that they are not the person they are looking for, and they follow the trail, but they are afraid that the main owner who is looking for the man in black is still hiding in the main hall.
The black-clothed figures of the Netherworld Mountain Villa swayed, or rushed into the main hall, or rose to the sky, straight to the roof of the main hall, searching every corner inside and outside, the beams and roofs, but there was no human figure.
"Let's go!"
The black-clothed man known as the hall master snorted coldly, the cold light flashed in his eyes, he shouted angrily, and swept up, and all the black-clothed people hurriedly followed, and in the middle of the jump, they had disappeared into the dawn.
The morning breeze was cool, the weeds in the courtyard were swaying, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, which was disgusting.
The wind sounded, a black shadow fell from the air, the black scarf was inlaid with gold edges, wrapped around the head and covered with face, and there was a demon head on the chest, which was unusually hideous, but it was the black-clothed man who was called the hall master who went and returned, his eyes swept over the dilapidated temple, with a little doubt, he pondered for a moment, and then left again.
A moment later, the sound of clothes breaking through the air sounded again, and Fang Baiyi and the others flew into the temple from outside the courtyard wall.
But when he heard what the man in black said, he was vigilant, Fang Baiyi and Fu Xiangning and others slid down from behind the main hall, and took advantage of the fight between the two sides to jump out of the temple and hide in the mountains and forests behind the temple.
"Young Master Fang, how do you know that he will go and come back?" As soon as he stood firm, Xiao Pitian asked in surprise.
Smiling indifferently, Fang Baiyi said slowly: "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, the rivers and lakes are far more sinister than I imagined, everything needs to be thought deeper, otherwise sooner or later I will have to make a big mistake." ”
"Baiyi, it's all my fault that I'm not good, I persuaded you to accept the invitation of the old monk Yanhui without careful consideration, so that you were involved in this dispute in the rivers and lakes for no reason, attracting the peeps of all forces, I ......" Fu Xiang couldn't regret it, her flawless beauty showed her shame, and tears appeared in her autumn-like eyes, but she wanted to cry.
"How can I blame you, it's me who wants to check the wordless heavenly book, and it's normal to get involved in these grievances, besides, the bloody hand Tongtian was injured by me, even if there is no exquisite treasure box, the Netherworld Villa will not give up. Fang Baiyi comforted.
Fu Xiangning was a little calm, but he was still worried, and said: "But now there are Netherworld Villas and black-clothed people of unknown origin looking for you, I don't know how many Jianghu forces will interfere in the future, and your situation is ......."
Unconsciously, he was already holding the palm of the white cloth above, worried.
"It's okay!"
Fang Baiyi turned his hand and held Fu Xiangning's white jade-like soft wattle, and said with a smile: "They came to me, just to get the exquisite organ in my hand, and when we arrived in Jiangzhou, we went to visit the prefect of Jiangzhou, and asked the prefect to brush down a few list texts and post four doors, presumably it will spread all over the rivers and lakes in a few days, and it is well known in the world, so naturally no one will come to force the Linglong organ anymore." ”
"That's a brilliant plan!"
Fu Xiangning's eyes lit up, and he praised it, and said: "You don't care who fights for the wordless heavenly book, then make the Linglong organ public to the world, and save so many troubles." ”
As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Pian's long eyelashes blinking, the corners of his mouth contained a bit of a grin, and his eyes glanced at the hands held by the two from time to time.
The sky was already bright, Fang Baiyi and the others left the temple, found a stream to wash, took out the steamed buns and distributed them to everyone, and after hastily wrapping their stomachs, they set off to Jiangzhou.
The people who already knew that the Netherworld Villa were haunting the neighborhood, intending to disadvantage the other party's white clothes.
The little pity and the one who couldn't afford to lose his duty, didn't use the excuse of exploring the way to leave Fu Xiangning's left and right, and secretly guarded himself along the way, in case someone attacked him violently, Fu Xiangning also secretly watched and listened to the surrounding movements.
It's just that along the way, it was calm, not to mention the black-clothed people in the Netherworld Villa, and even ordinary characters in the rivers and lakes have not seen a single one.
Fu Xiangning frowned slightly, his expression was puzzled, and asked: "Baiyi, is there a dangerous terrain ahead?" Otherwise, we have not concealed our whereabouts, but we are afraid that someone with a heart has already speculated that we intend to go to Jiangzhou, and there is no black-clothed person along the road to intercept us, I am afraid that it has already been on our way, ambush in a dangerous place, waiting for us to come to the door." ”
Fang Baiyi nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, twenty miles ahead is Feiyundu, connecting the main roads of water and land, and there is a suspended pontoon bridge at the ferry, which is the only road to the other side. ”
Hearing this, the little pity turned around and snatched back a few steps, and said, "Young Master Fang, is there any other way to bypass Feiyundu, such as a ferry?"
Sighing secretly, Fang Bai shook his head and said: "If someone really intercepts us in Feiyundu, I'm afraid that it will not be peaceful underwater, if we want to bypass Feiyundu, we need to walk more than 100 miles, and the mountain roads along the way are rugged, and it may not be too peaceful." ”
"Since we are coming sooner or later, why should we take the wrong road and go straight to Feiyundu. Fu Xiangning said with a lot of pride.
The little poor protector was anxious, and he didn't want Fu Xiangning to risk himself, but now he had no other way but to sigh secretly. His eyes flashed a little cold, and he was determined in his heart, even if he risked his life in the realm, he would never let the man in black in Netherworld Villa hurt Miss.
Everyone traveled very fast, and after a while, they were already standing at Feiyun Ferry.
I saw that the mountains on both sides of the bank are thousands of feet high, the cliffs are steep, the mountains are lush and green, the fog is hazy, the mountain streams are turbulent, the waves are surging, and there are more than 100 zhang wide. The mist on the water surface is drifting, and there is a pontoon bridge suspended in the air, connecting the two sides of the mountain and water, less than seven feet wide, swaying back and forth in the mountain stream wind, making people walk on the bridge and tremble.
The eyes are slightly condensed, sweeping across both sides of the pontoon bridge, except for the gurgling water, there is no movement, there is no bird rising and falling in the mountains and forests, and the wind is whimpering, which makes people feel depressed.
The corners of Fang Baiyi's mouth escaped a little ridicule, and he said lightly: "For the sake of a delicate mechanism, he did not hesitate to close the mountain and lock the road, the Netherworld Villa is inevitably a little unscrupulous, do you really think that you will eat Fang Mou?"
Unable to afford to lose the light shuttle patrol, he took a few steps forward at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, Fang Gongzi, it is better for your subordinates to go to the other side first, kill a bloody road, and then cross the bridge between Miss Fang and Fang Gongzi to ensure that they are safe." ”
"Okay, okay, miss, it's better to let me and I can't afford to lose together, even if there is an ambush on the other side, you can kill them without leaving a piece of armor. The poor little man clapped his hands in agreement and nodded.
Fu Xiangning groaned slightly, but cast her eyes on Fang Baiyi. In the broken temple, I have seen the martial arts of the black-clothed people in the Netherworld Villa, all of them are good at the rivers and lakes, the little poor and the unloseable are admittedly not weak in martial arts, but if the other party does not abide by the morality of the rivers and lakes, they rush up, in a hurry, I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to cope with it.
"Don't be so troublesome, let's just go over together, if I guess correctly, the other party will definitely intercept us on the bridge, you go first, it doesn't make much sense, but it will disperse our forces. ”
Fang Baiyi's folding fan shook gently, and he was already walking towards the pontoon. Seeing this, he hurriedly took the first step, stepped onto the pontoon bridge, pointed obliquely at the long knife in his hand, concentrated on guard, and walked to the other side.
Stepping to keep up, Fu Xiangning followed closely behind Fang Baiyi, but the little pity stayed at the end, the short sword in his hand was horizontal in front of him, his eyes were alert, and he paid attention to the movement behind him.
Deep down in his heart, he also intended to let Fang Baiyi cross the bridge alone, but he knew that Fu Xiangning had already been deeply rooted, and he would never agree to Fang Baiyi going into danger alone. This is already the case, so you can only be more vigilant, and with Fang Baiyi's martial arts, Master Yanhui is amazed, and he must be able to protect Fu Xiangning thoroughly.
Unconsciously, Fang Baiyi and the others had already walked into the pontoon, and the smoke and waves under their feet were vast, and the wind was gusting.
"Hahaha......"
Laughter started, and I saw the figure at the head of the bridge on the opposite bank shaking, leaping and sweeping, and dozens of people had already landed on the pontoon bridge, blocking Fang Baiyi and the others from going. The costumes are different, but none of them are masked, the current person has some gray hair, is wearing a splendid Danhua robe, his hands are behind his back, and his expression is arrogant.
"Fang Baiyi, the old man Tianlong Gang Lei Jianming, has been waiting here for a long time, hand over the Linglong mechanism, and let you live. ”
The sound of clothes breaking through the air, there were also many people on the road, dozens of people grabbed the pontoon bridge, and raised their swords at the same time, blocking Fang Baiyi and others in the middle, and some people shouted.
"Fang Baiyi, the Divine Eagle Castle has been waiting for a long time, and those who know each other will hand over the Linglong Organ, so as not to suffer a tragedy and lose their lives on this Feiyundu. ”
