Chapter 175: Ten Thousand Arrows and Crossbows
Pi Kaiyuan lowered his head aggrievedly, and Yi Dan relieved the siege and said: "Master Mu, please don't be angry, Brother Pi is also eager to save people." However, with the understanding of that Ruan Zhilong, even if Brother Pi didn't do it just now, then Ruan Zhilong would not let Mrs. Zun and them go easily. ”
Mu Yongxiao asked, "Why?"
Yi Dan said: "Ruan Zhilong is a complete ruffian bully, I have fought with him before, his words don't count, he has no morality, he is simply a martial arts scum, how can he keep his promise? I think he wants to deceive you and catch you all again." Then you can occupy this Cape Villa without worries. There are fishermen everywhere around him who can feed him, and he can continue to be his sea fisherman again. ”
Pi Kaiyuan said: "That's right, Master, this West Sea fisherman is despicable and shameless, if the fisherman does not pay the protection fee, he will dive into the water and cut the fisherman's net." This kind of shameless ruffian is not to be believed at all, and you must not fall for him. ”
Mu Yongxiao said: "However, my wife and daughter are in his hands, what should I do now? ”
Yi Dan said: "Mu Daxia, you calm down first, we can think of a way." ”
At this time, Ruan Zhilong shouted loudly on the city wall: "Mu Yongxiao, have you thought about it? If you don't let them leave, I'll kill one of them now to make you decide." ”
After that, Ruan Zhilong put the big scissors on Mrs. Mu Yongxiao's neck, wanting to cut them with a knife.
"Ruan Daxia, please don't be impulsive, I listen to you, I listen to you, I'll let them all leave. Don't get excited. After shouting, Mu Yongxiao turned around and said, "Don't say anything, you all go down and hide first, I'll just go alone, let's go." ”
Seeing this, Yi Dan also said helplessly: "Okay, Mu Daxia, you have to be careful. Oh yes, take this shield with you. ”
Pi Kaiyuan said: "Yes, Master, bring this coconut shield." Pi Kaiyuan handed the shield to Mu Yongxiao.
"No, you go down first. After that, Mu Yongxiao stepped forward alone, and everyone had to retreat cautiously and slowly, hiding under the hillside to observe the situation.
Unarmed, Mu Yongxiao came to the empty city tower around him, and shouted loudly: "Ruan Daxia, Mu is here, I hope you can fulfill your promise and release my wife and daughter, and I am grateful." ”
Ruan Zhilong, who was standing on the city tower, saw that Mu Yongxiao was dressed in cloth and unarmed, and he could just take the opportunity to put him to death, so Ruan Zhilong ordered the crossbowmen on the side: "Release the arrows, give me ten thousand arrows." ”
At this time, Mu Yongxiao's daughter, who was tied to the city tower, shouted: "Dad, hurry up, they are going to release arrows."
Ruan Zhilong pulled the mother and daughter down and prevented them from shouting.
At this time, the pirates dialed the 10,000-arrow crossbow that had been prepared long ago and shot towards Mu Yongxiao.
Suddenly, the sky was full of arrows, and it began to fall down. Mu Yongxiao steadied his horse, stretched out his hands, and used his true qi in the dantian, and used the strong and powerful "Zhenhai Stone Sand Palm" to strike in the direction where the arrow rain came.
The arrows that came were smashed by Mu Yongxiao's "Zhenhai Stone Sand Palm". But the rain of arrows seemed to be falling more violently than before. With his palms as hard as iron, he swirled in front of him, grasping the arrow in his hand.
A steady stream of arrows can be shot down like a torrential rain. After a few rounds of resistance, Mu Yongxiao began to be a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly, an arrow came at his left shoulder, and he quickly dodged to the right, while another arrow came from the right, right under the clavicle of his right shoulder.
He was hit by an arrow in his right shoulder, and the pain was unbearable, so Mu Yongxiao could only rely on his left hand to resist the rain of arrows.
At this time, Yi Dan and Pi Kaiyuan, who were hiding under the hillside, were very anxious when they saw Mu Yongxiao being hit by an arrow.
Pi Kaiyuan shouted, "Master!" and wanted to rush forward, but was pulled by Yi Dan. Yi Dan handed the coconut shell shield to Pi Kaiyuan: "Come, take this, let's go and save your master together." ”
Pi Kaiyuan grabbed the shield and rushed forward, Yi Dan didn't have time to think, picked up a coconut shell shield beside him, pulled out the sword in his hand, and rushed out.
Youming shouted: "Senior sister, I will go with you too." ”
Xu Gui also said: "Yes, Miss Yi, let's rush over together." ”
Yi Dan said: "Don't, the 10,000 arrows and crossbow are too powerful." Mr. Xu, junior brother, you are all waiting here, I will go and return quickly. ”
After that, Yi Dan put the coconut shield on his head, braved the rain of arrows, rushed to the front of the injured Mu Yongxiao, blocked the front with the coconut shell shield, and asked loudly, "Mu Daxia, are you okay?"
Mu Yongxiao said: "I was a little injured, it's fine." ”
Pi Kaiyuan also blocked the shield in front and helped Mu Yongxiao: "Master, let's go back quickly." ”
Yi Dan said: "Brother Pi, you hurry up and help the wooden hero to go back, and leave it to me here." ”
Pi Kaiyuan said: "Okay, Miss Yi, you have to be careful." ”
Pi Kaiyuan helped Mu Yongxiao, and under the protection of the shield, he slowly retreated cautiously.
By this time, the first rain of arrows had been fired, and the pirates picked up a bundle of arrows from the ground and placed them on a special large bow and crossbow rack. The string of the great bow is held in place by an iron rod with a right-angled barb, and the other end of the rod is attached to a device that resembles an iron windmill. After the arrow is loaded, the person pulls the handle and rotates, and the barb iron rod shrinks backwards, and the oversized 10,000-arrow crossbow enters the firing state again.
"Quick, launch, shoot her for me. Ruan Zhilong gave an order, and everyone pulled the mechanism on the device again, and the barbed iron rod slid off the big bow at lightning speed. Thousands of sharp arrows, like jackals and beasts, roared and shot out into the sky outside the tower. The arrow flew up to the top of the parabola and began to fall towards where Yi Dan stood.
Yi Dan covered Mu Yongxiao and Pi Kaiyuan to leave, and could only stand in place, using a coconut shell shield to resist the arrows that came from the shot. Seeing that the arrows on the shield were shooting more and more, it was almost impossible to carry its weight. At this time, take a deep breath and use all your internal strength to counterattack the pirates with arrows towards the castle tower.
The arrows struck seven or eight pirates who were concentrating on their arrows. Yi Dan took advantage of the chaos of the pirates on the city tower, and flew back with light skills, hiding back under the hillside.
At this time, Deng Xiang took a few disciples of the Tianya Sect with good water quality, climbed up from the secret passage under the sea, and finally came to the well that Mu Yongxiao said.
With great difficulty, he climbed to the mouth of the well, and found that the mouth of the well was sealed by a boulder. He tried to push the boulder away with the force of his palm, but to no avail.
Senior Brother Jing asked, "Senior Brother Deng, how is it, can you go up?"
Deng Xiang said: "The wellhead was sealed by a big stone, and it couldn't be pushed open at all. ”
Another junior disciple took advantage of the faint light of the fire he carried with him, climbed up and looked at it, and then touched around the wellhead and said, "The big stone has smashed all the bricks around the well and placed it directly on the ground, and I suspect that this stone is the sloping boulder on the hill next to our backyard." ”
Deng Xiang said: "No, right? The boulder on the hill in the backyard is so big, how did they get it?"
The junior brother said: "I don't know about this, but the boulder is already on the slope, and it is not impossible to push it down." But now this boulder is pressed against the well like Mount Tai, and I think that even if the master came in person, it would be difficult to push it away with the stone sand palm. ”
Deng Xiang said: "Since this is the case, then let's go back first and tell the master about this, otherwise we will delay time here and miss the master's plan." ”
"Okay, let's go back."
Yi Dan and Pi Kaiyuan helped Mu Yongxiao, who was wounded by an arrow, down the hillside. At the bottom of the hillside, I happened to meet Deng Xiang and a few people who had returned from failure.
Deng Xiang and his brothers ran forward all wet, and when they saw that Master Mu Yongxiao was injured, Deng Xiang hurriedly asked, "Master, are you injured?"
Mu Yongxiao said: "I'm fine, I just suffered a little skin injury." How are you doing? Did you enter the lodge?"
Deng Xiang replied: "Master, the apprentices are incompetent, the wellhead is sealed by a big stone, and we can't go up at all." ”
Mu Yongxiao covered his shoulders and asked, "Didn't you use the Zhenhai Stone Sand Palm to smash the stones?"
Deng Xiang said: "The disciple used it, but it didn't help at all. We guessed that it might be the West Sea fisherman who pushed down the boulder on the slope of the hill in the backyard and sealed the wellhead. ”
Another disciple on the side said, "Yes, Master, the boulder on the slope of the mountain is already crumbling. Last year, there was a storm, and it was almost blown off. I think the stone blocking the mouth of the well should be the boulder. Maybe it was the West Sea fisherman who discovered the secret passage, so he pried it off and blocked it. ”
Mu Yongxiao sat on the ground and took a breath and said, "How is this good? This secret passage is the only way to the villa except for the main entrance. ”
Yi Dan asked, "Can't we climb up the cliff?"
Pi Kaiyuan said: "No, the cliff is surrounded by ten thousand arrows and crossbow arrays, and the entire villa is an iron wall, if you attack it, you can't attack it at all." ”
Youming said: "Then let's besiege them for a while, cut off their food, and see how long they can last." ”
Mu Yongxiao said: "It's useless, when the ancestors built this mountain villa, they had already thought of this. This Cape Villa is very large, there are fields where you can grow grain, fruits and vegetables, and there are many coconuts and fruits, and they will not starve to death at all. They are small in number and completely self-sufficient. ”
Yi Dan said: "The person who built this villa at the beginning was really a genius. This villa is simply an easy city to defend and difficult to attack, but it is a pity that it has fallen into the wrong hands. ”
Youming said: "Yes, no wonder the Western Sea fisherman wants to take away this mountain villa, if you live here, you can be a soil emperor who can do whatever he wants." ”
Pi Kaiyuan looked at Youming's eyes, and Youming instantly understood that he had said the wrong thing, so he continued: "Oh, I didn't mean that. Mu Daxia is a hero who maintains the peace of the people, and he is definitely not a soil emperor. I'm talking about the West Sea fisherman, he's really annoying. ”
Mu Yongxiao covered his bleeding shoulders and said, "If we besiege them for a long time, it will not be a way. I'm afraid that after a long time, they will be bad for my wife and daughter. ”
Yi Dan saw that Mu Yongxiao's wound was bleeding, and hurriedly said, "Mu Daxia, your wound is bleeding." Let's go down the mountain and find a place to pull out the arrows. ”
Xu Guidao: "That's right, let's hurry down the mountain and pull out the arrow, the weather is hot, and it has been delayed for too long, I'm afraid there is a risk of tetanus." ”
"Master, you are injured, for the sake of today's plan, we can only go down the mountain first, repair and recuperate in the town of Daotianya, and then make a decision. Pi Kaiyuan said.
"Well, okay, without further ado, let's hurry down the mountain. Yi Dan said.
So, with the support of everyone, Mu Yongxiao slowly walked the mountain and found an inn to live in the "Tianya Town" at the bottom of the mountain. (To be continued.) )
