Chapter 4: The Bandits

Let's say, Hai Fugui and his party left Bixi Village and set off in the northwest direction towards Zhejian Villa, taking that shortcut road. Soon, he entered the Qianfeng Ridge, which is known as a craggy stone forest and strange peaks, like a labyrinth. There are few trees in Qianfeng Ridge, there are stone forests everywhere, and a path hovers over each stone peak, like a link. The pinnacles are either connected by boulders or natural stone arch bridges. Clouds and mist cover the entire Qianfeng Ridge, the visibility is low, and the road is tortuous and steep, so it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with it.

Standing in front of the strange rocks of a mountain peak, Xiahou Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh: "The peaks and peaks here are stacked, steep and dangerous, it is really different." ”

In front of a truly literate person, Hai Fugui is no longer good at showing off his bit of ink, and resists the urge to recite poems.

At this time, the girl muttered in a low voice: "If it weren't for the eldest young master's hot brain, he had to walk, how would we need to walk in such a strange place." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan seemed to hear something: "Girl, what did you say?"

The girl panicked, "No...... It's nothing. I mean...... Let's go. ”

Jiang Cheng stopped and said, "The front is Qianfeng Ridge." I heard that the bandits are hiding in this mountain, so be careful. Obviously, they all knew about it, and they all responded, and secretly raised their vigilance in their hearts.

But Hai Fugui they don't know, Bi Tong and Yin Dayi heard that there were bandits, so they couldn't help but approach Hai Fugui and whispered: "Young helper, there are bandits, are we going back?"

Hai Fugui glared at them, and shouted in a low voice: "It's not promising, it's not even as good as a girl's family! Don't embarrass me!" After being reprimanded by Hai Fugui, Bi Tong and Yin Dayou had no choice but to keep up, but their right hand holding the handle of the knife at their waist trembled slightly.

When he reached a mountainside, Twilight Lan, who was walking in front, suddenly retreated at a turn the day before yesterday, and said with a slightly heavy face: "There are thieves in front of him, who stopped two old men asking for money. ”

"There are really bandits!" Xiahou Jinxuan said: "It's just right, let me wait for me to encounter it, and I will solve it easily, which can be regarded as a harm to the people on this side." ”

Jiang Chengdao: "What the young master of Xiahou said is that since I am asked to wait for the meeting, I can't ignore it, but I don't know the details of the other party, and I have to plan carefully." ”

"There are not many thieves, only three, but the other party has captured two people, but I am afraid that when the time comes, I will threaten with hostages." ”

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "Well, it seems that we have to think of a way to lure them away." ”

The people took counsel for a while. Hai Fugui has never encountered such a thing in his life, and it has taken great effort to be able to escape without turning around at this time, and he can't interject into this kind of thing, he can only listen.

The method that everyone discussed was to send someone out to show their faces, seduce them, and see if they could seduce one or two to come over, and at the same time let Twilight Lan sneak over quietly, taking advantage of the lack of attention of the people left behind, and subdue them in one fell swoop. And this bait fell on Hai Fugui, facing everyone's eyes, especially Twilight Lan's mocking gaze, Hai Fugui was ruthless, and said, "No problem, it's on me." ”

Bi Tong immediately said: "Young helper, let me go." Yin Dayou also said: "It's okay to let me go, young helper?"

Hai Fugui said: "If you can't do it, you can only go with me." "Bait, if it's too big, it will scare the bandits, you can only find a weak one, Xiahou Jinxuan must have denied it, of course the flawed girl can't, Dusk Lanlan has a sneak attack mission, and only Hai Fugui, who seems to be a better bully, is left.

Bi Tong and Yin Dayou naturally knew that this was the case, but they didn't worry about Hai Fugui, so they made the last effort to persuade them. The two watched Hai Fugui straighten his clothes and left. I can't wait to follow it.

Xie Cangxing saw that Twilight Lan also quietly went to lurk, so he said, "You two don't spoil the affairs of your young helper, he wants to behave well in front of Miss Dusk." ”

Bi Tongdao: "Then you can't take your life." ”

"You young helpers are not as useless as you think. Besides, with Brother Jiang here, will Brother Hai be in danger?"

Hai Fugui calmed down, cheered himself up in his heart: "For her, you can't be afraid." Then he hummed a little song, and walked out leisurely, and saw the three thieves in front of him blackmailing, and an elderly couple, and suddenly shouted: "Oops...... Oh my god! With that, he jumped back and hid behind a boulder at the turn.

The three thieves were searching the old couple's salute, and suddenly heard such a sound, and when they looked back, they turned out to be the son's brother, and they knew that it was a big fat sheep. One of them said, "You are watching them here, let's go and see." ”

The two thieves were also careful, and did not chase after them recklessly, but walked slowly over and looked around.

Hai Fugui hid behind the boulder only to find that he had a cold sweat on his forehead, and saw that although the thief saw him, he didn't seem to be hooked, so he slowly stretched his head out. When he stretched out his head, he saw the two thieves, who were slowly approaching the boulder, but the two thieves also saw half of his head stretched out, and he was shocked, and said, "It's not good, it's a trick, retreat!"

Jiang Cheng and Xie Cangxing, who wanted to ambush behind and prepare for a sneak attack, had to jump out in advance and shouted: "I want to run at this time, it's too late." ”

This is the first time Hai Fugui has seen it, it turns out that in this world, there are really people who can work lightly, otherwise how could the two of them be three or four feet away in this jump, just borrowing the advantage of terrain. I saw Jiang Cheng and Xie Cangxing, the two of them jumped from the air and pounced on the two thieves. These two thieves are also good, seeing that the martial arts of the people who came are strong, they desperately resist the two moves, and a ghost head knife is unexpectedly extraordinary, protecting the whole body.

Jiang Cheng's weapon is very strange, like a short sword, but it has no hilt, but is clamped on the fist glove, and the tricks used are also strange, both like swordsmanship and fist technique. The bandits who are against them can only retreat step by step, wielding their swords to protect the vital points around them.

Although Xie Cangxing used a sword, the sword was not unsheathed, and I saw that he lifted his weight lightly, only occasionally picking, stabbing, or chopping, and recruiting attackers must be saved. The thief who was the enemy of him was cold in his heart, and this person made a few moves at will, but he couldn't stop it at all.

The thief who was guarding the hostages in the back, seeing this situation, immediately rushed forward, wanting to help the two brothers, but was blocked by a cold light.

Twilight is waiting for such an opportunity, where can I miss it. Twilight Lan used the long sword she carried with her, and her sword moves were flexible and fast. Where have the thieves seen such a profound swordsmanship, left and right, seeing that a sword was sharpened, and when there was no way to hide, he had to roll on the ground, regardless of whether the posture was embarrassed or not, he felt a cold on the top of his head, and it turned out that he had been shaved by Twilight.

At this time, the Blemish girl quietly came to the old couple and protected them behind her.

Xiahou Jinxuan is the most mysterious one in Haifugui's opinion, I saw that he had words in his mouth, and with a flick of his hands, a "piece of paper" flew to a thief who was fighting against Jiang Cheng, and the "piece of paper" hit the thief, and immediately caught fire, and the thief screamed in fright, and regardless of Jiang Cheng's offensive, he rolled on the ground three or four times in a row before it could be extinguished.

Hai Fugui saw that several of them had their own abilities, and he couldn't just look at it here, so he hurriedly said: "Bi Tong, there is a great thing, you also go up to help!"

I saw Bi Tong and Yin Da have two embarrassed faces and said, "Shao...... Helper, let's not make a mess of our half-tricks. "Well, Hai Fugui finally understands why the Sea Shark Gang is just a third-rate gang. It turned out that even an ordinary thief couldn't deal with it, no wonder Dad kept persuading him to keep the family business. Alas, I don't know if this trip is a blessing or a curse.

The first thief saw that there were many people on the other side, and each of them was strong in martial arts, and shouted: "The idea is tricky, run!"

Jiang Cheng saw that this guy didn't want to slash over and slash twice, and hurriedly blocked back with a short sword, only to feel that the strength of this guy suddenly became doubled, and this thief didn't take this opportunity to attack, he turned around and fled, and the other two were the same as the two fierce attacks and jumped to the side of the road, even rolling and crawling, Jiang Cheng didn't chase after him, and Du Yilan and Xie Cangxing saw that Jiang Cheng didn't chase, so they didn't move. The thief seemed to be particularly familiar with the terrain, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jinxuan said, "Brother Jiang, don't you have to chase those escaped bandits?"

Jiang Cheng replied: "Poor Kou Mo chase. We don't know the true strength of the bandits, so we can't risk chasing them so as not to fall into an ambush. When I get to the Folding Sword Villa, I will tell my tutor that he will definitely send someone here to solve the trouble. ”

Xie Cangxing immediately echoed: "That's right, the terrain is complicated, and we are not familiar with it, but the bandits know everything about this place, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye." This bandit is very strange, his sword skills are average, and his strength is quite great. ”

Xiahou Jinxuan said with some frustration: "Alas, it seems that we have to wait for the Ouyang Alliance Lord to send someone to solve the disaster here." ”

Hai Fugui was the first time to see the fight of people in the rivers and lakes, and the fierce fight scene just now, especially the ruthlessness of the thief when he desperately escaped, made him have a sense of crisis for the first time. I'm in a daze at this time.

When Twilight Lan saw him like this, she thought she was scared silly, and couldn't help muttering, "Rubbish! You can't do this little thing of luring thieves!" with a look of contempt.

Hai Fugui didn't defend himself, just smiled awkwardly and lowered his head. After all, the bait of his own just now was unsuccessful, otherwise he would not have let the bandit go.

Seeing Hai Fugui's dazed look, the flawed girl couldn't help but soften in her heart, and said, "Okay, Sister Dusk, Hai Gongzi almost succeeded just now, but this thief is too cunning, and he can't blame Hai Gongzi entirely." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan also said: "Yes, the first time Brother Hai saw such a scene, it was much better than I was at the beginning. After saying that, he laughed at himself and scratched his head again.

Xie Cangxing said: "Well, I think Hai Gongzi is good, especially at the beginning, humming a little song." Hehe, I can't see it, Hai Gongzi's acting skills are good. After that, Xiang Hai Fugui sent an appreciative look. It made Hai Fugui a little embarrassed.

Jiang Chengdao: "Okay, let's take a look at the old couple before." ”

The old couple didn't seem to be much frightened, maybe the old man was calm, he thought that the couple was going to suffer, but he didn't expect to escape death, and he didn't say much about the thanksgiving scene. After the old couple went through this, they turned back and went to the official road.

Encountering these bandits was just a small episode on the way, and everyone sorted out a little and then went on the road.

But for Hai Fugui, it is a great thing. He had now finally discovered what it meant to be sinister. Especially the people in front of them, who had just fought to the death with the bandits, and now they are as if they were fine, not because they have good quality in their hearts, but because they are used to it, and they feel that this is a "normal phenomenon".

Hai Fugui took two quick steps and asked in unison with Xiahou Jinxuan: "Young Master Xiahou, what trick did you use before?

Xiahou Jinxuan explained: "This is a spell technique, using the power of the five spirits to stimulate the pre-made spell, and I have only learned a little bit of it. When I was a child, my second uncle saw that I didn't like dancing knives and guns, so he found me some spell books to practice, saying that after learning it, I could protect myself to some extent. Alas......" Speaking of this, Xiahou Jinxuan felt sad for a while: "It's just that the second uncle contracted a serious illness more than ten years ago, and he has not recovered so far, and he has attacks from time to time. ”

Hai Fugui thought in his heart: "It seems that this is a spell." When the young master of Xiahou performed it just now, he was extremely relaxed, I don't know if I can learn it? But this is a family heirloom, and I am only afraid that it will be inconvenient for an outsider. Hai Fugui kept this matter in mind for the time being. However, his second uncle got sick, and he was treated for more than ten years with the financial and material resources of the Xiahou family, and the medicine of this era was not very good. I have to exercise, so as not to burp when I catch a cold, and then it will be sad.

The road to this Qianfeng Ridge is really difficult to walk, Hai Fugui has never practiced martial arts, although Jiang Cheng and the four of them have slowed down, but Hai Fugui is still a little unable to keep up. Hai Fugui saw that Xiahou Jinxuan, who was a scholar, was walking faster than himself, and he couldn't help but feel angry, how could he say that he also grew up in the ship, and his physical strength was not as good as a weak scholar?

So, don't want Bi Tong and Yin Dayou to help, just hold on to it, and don't say anything, Bi Tong and Yin Da are the first time to see the young gang leader have such great perseverance. The first four people were more relaxed.

Since then, the road has been smooth, and no bandits have appeared. Walked on the mountain trail all day, except for stopping twice in the middle to drink water and eat some dry food. This day can make the sea rich and rich enough to choke.

Originally, today's planned trip was to pass through Qianfeng Ridge, but because of the oil bottle of Hai Fugui, it was only half of the way, and it was already dark. There is no store in front of the village, and the sight in Qianfeng Ridge is not good, so it is inconvenient to walk at night, so everyone found a leeward open place and decided to sleep on the spot for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will rush to the ground at dawn.

Hearing that he could rest, Hai Fugui immediately sat down on the ground, panting heavily, Bi Tong and Yin Dayou ran over, beating their legs, rubbing their shoulders, and said with some distress: "Young helper, you have never suffered since you were a child, this time you know that this river and lake are not so easy to break through, right?"

Hai Fugui didn't have the strength to reply to him, his legs and feet were numb and painful, and his mouth let out a cold snorting sound.

If you want to sleep in the wild, you must make a fire, and the four of Xiahou Jinxuan and his party obviously cooperate more tacitly, and each of them will do the assigned tasks. When Twilight Lan passed by Hai Fugui's side, when she saw his delicate appearance, her face was disgusted, and she showed no doubt.

Hai Fugui was willing to lose face in front of the goddess, and hurriedly pushed them away, and said solemnly: "Go...... , you two know that you are lazy, hurry up and help, and collect firewood!"

Bi Tong and Yin Dayou walked away with aggrieved faces.

A moment later, when they returned, a fire arose, and everyone sat on the floor.

Originally, the plan was to cross the Qianfeng Ridge today to stay at the front inn, so everyone did not carry much dry food, and they had already eaten it with them, and here, in the barren mountains and mountains, except for the stones and sand, it was difficult to see even a mouse. At this time, everyone is on an empty stomach.

A raging fire, swaying in the night sky, and a hazy moon pass overhead. Except for Hai Fugui, they are all people who practice martial arts, and it doesn't hurt if they don't eat a meal. At least Xiahou Jinxuan is still in the mood to chant poetry to such a night scene: "Ah, the light is even white, and the air and wind are cold." The sound of insects in the quiet night of the valley, and the remnants of the blue mist in the deep rock ......?"

The poem is good, but there are all martial artists here, I don't understand your artistic conception, everyone looked at him with a strange look, Xiahou Jinxuan was embarrassed for a while, and then closed his mouth.

The two ladies sat next to each other and sat at the opposite end. Twilight Lan leaned into the girl's ear and asked softly, "Is Xiahou Gongzi like this all the way?"

The girl nodded knowingly: "Yes, all the way I dropped my book bag." Sister Twilight, don't pay attention to him, anyway, he's the only one here who does these sour texts that no one understands. ”

But Hai Fugui praised it: "Good poetry, Xiahou Gongzi is good writing." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan said: "I'm ashamed, it's just picking up the wisdom of the ancients." If you want to talk about literary talent, when I was in the inn last night, when I was sleeping in a daze, I vaguely heard a gorgeous masterpiece of rhetoric, and every word was beautiful. I woke up but I don't remember it anymore, but I still feel that the article is embroidered with gold knots, the article is elegant, and the flowing water can be described as a work of eternal beauty. It's a pity that when I woke up, I only remembered the sentence 'It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind', what a pity!"

Hai Fugui heard what he said, and for a while, he replied: "Oh, you're talking about "Luo Shen Fu". As soon as the words came out, I felt terrible.

Sure enough, when Xiahou Jinxuan heard it, he said happily: "It turns out that this article is "Luo Shen Fu", but I didn't expect it to come from the hand of Brother Hai, Brother Hai is talented, Jinxuan admires it." ”

Hai Fugui was worried, how to explain this matter to him? This matter, the explanation is not clear, it will only get darker and darker, so he had to be cheeky again, and said: "Where, where, to borrow a phrase from the young master of Xiahou, it is just to pick up the wisdom of the ancients, hehe......." ”

Of course Xiahou Jinxuan didn't believe it, if there was really such a word-for-word and natural-like article handed down, he wouldn't not know, he thought that Hai Fugui was humble, and he added a bit of admiration to Hai Fugui in his heart, such a talented person, but he acted so low-key, but he read a few poems of the ancients, and he sold endlessly along the way.

It's just that last night's good article is indeed extremely rare, and I couldn't help asking: "I listened to Brother Hai's masterpiece last night, and my heart was extremely yearning, but I didn't expect to meet the owner of this article, I don't know if Brother Hai can dedicate it again, so that I can feast my ears on it." ”

Hai Fugui couldn't shirk it, so he had to memorize "Luo Shen Fu" again. Bi Tong and Yin Da were happy in their hearts, it turned out that the young master of Xiahou also praised the young gang master's literary talent, presumably the young gang master was indeed outstanding, but I couldn't understand when the young gang master became so talented.

"Its shape is also like a shock, graceful like a dragon......"

I have to say that this article by Luo Shenfu is extremely gorgeous, and it is a god-level masterpiece. Even Xie Cangxing and Jiang Cheng, who didn't understand, listened to it with relish, and followed Hai Fugui's book to show a stunning beauty in their hearts. couldn't help but glance at Hai Fuguigao a few times, but he didn't expect this son's literary talent to be so outstanding, he was really unseemly.

And the two girls over there, the flawed girl couldn't understand what Hai Fugui said, it seemed that she was also dropping her bookbag, and she saw Xiahou Jinxuan squinting and shaking her head, and Xie Cangxing and Jiang Cheng were also listening attentively, feeling very strange, so she said to Dusk Lan: "Sister Dusk, what kind of poems did Hai Gongzi make?"

Twilight Lan took a sip and said, "Obscene words, this man is not a good thing!"

When the girl heard this, she didn't ask anymore, and said, "Sister Dusk, you're hungry, I still have some steamed buns here, let's half of each person." The girl took out a steamed bun and divided half of the twilight orchid, although it was already cold and hard, but at this time it was like a delicacy, and the twilight orchid said thank you, took half of the steamed bun, hurriedly took a few bites, half of the steamed bun was already in the stomach, and the twilight orchid said with satisfaction: "With this half of the steamed bun, the stomach is much more comfortable, or the flawed girl has the foresight to bring more dry food on the road." ”

The girl said: "Where, I have already eaten what I brought, there is not a drop of wine left in the gourd, this steamed bun was given to me by Hai Gongzi." ”

"Uh....... Twilight Lan retched for a while, eager to spit out all the food she had just eaten, with a bitter face, and complained, "Flawed girl, you ...... , why didn't you say it earlier, hurt me. ”

The girl asked, "What's wrong?" Sister Twilight, did you have a bad stomach?"

Twilight Lan said angrily: "I would have known that it was that scoundrel who would not touch it even if he died, you would have made me miserable." ”

The girl understood that Twilight was disgusting with people, not steamed buns, so she smiled and said: "Sister Twilight, I think Hai Gongzi is very good, he gave us the only steamed bun, and he still has an empty stomach. ”

"It was his own doing. Twilight sneered.

At the end of a Luo Shen Fu, Xiahou Jinxuan had to sigh and praise a few words, and he felt that he was going to die when he heard about it. At this time of great emotion.

Jiang Cheng made a vigilant gesture and shouted, "Everyone be careful! ”

The people were startled and looked around. Xiahou Jinxuan hurriedly asked, "Where?"

The girl said, "Are there bandits again?"

Twilight Lan snorted coldly and said, "These thieves are really thieves, see if you don't catch them all this time." ”

Xie Cangxing shouted at the dark night sky around him: "Friend, don't hide your head and show your tail, come out." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan saw that Xie Cangxing seemed to have discovered where the enemy was, and asked, "Brother Xie can see them?"

Xie Cangxing laughed: "There are a lot of people, but none of them have the courage." ”

Not long after Xie Cangxing's words were finished, he saw a large number of torches appear on the surrounding hills, and it seemed that there were at least 180 people. The crowd slowly approached with torches, surrounding Hai Fugui and several people in the middle.

I saw that the first one turned out to be a young man, the young man had a resolute complexion, the corners of his eyes were distinct, a head of light red hair, draped in the back, dancing and flying in the night wind, just looking at the face, he was still a good handsome guy, helplessly, the tattoos on his body did not meet the aesthetics of Hai Fugui, especially the exposed half of his arms, and some unknown patterns were depicted on his exposed arms. Hai Fugui couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "These thieves are also poor, and they don't even have decent clothes." ”

The leader of the young bandits said lightly to the people behind him: "These are the people?"

"That's right, Boss, it's them. ”

The leader of the bandits said in a cold voice: "I heard that you are nosy and have ruined the work of your brothers. Report your name, my Li Yan's subordinates will not kill the nameless. "It turns out that this bandit came to take revenge for the day's work.

Jiang Cheng stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Below are the disciples of the Folding Sword Villa, these are the people of the Xiahou family, I went to the Folding Sword Villa to participate in the Sword Tasting Conference, passing by Guidi, I didn't mean to offend." I was also in a hurry before, and I was offended, so please bear with me. ”

Xiahou Jinxuan heard Jiang Cheng and the thieves whispering so lowly, and said with some puzzlement: "Brother Jiang......." It's a pity that the flawed girl said: "Don't interject." He obediently closed his mouth.

Twilight Lan explained in a low voice: "It's not easy for us to break through now, it depends on whether the two of you are famous enough to make these bandits retreat." Xiahou Jinxuan then understood.

The leader of the bandits, Li Yan, snorted and said, "You mountain villas and families have a few good things, but I don't want to eat this set." Brother Li Yan who hurt me, don't even think about leaving safely today!"

Twilight Lan sighed: "Alas, the negotiation failed......"

Xie Cangxing put the big sword on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It seems that this matter still depends on whose fist is hard." ”

As soon as Xiahou Jinxuan heard that there was going to be a fight, there were only eight on his side, and one hundred and eighty on the other side, it seemed that he still thought of a way to solve it peacefully, so he straightened his clothes and walked forward: "This brother, although you have a large number of people, your martial arts may not be stronger than us, and you will only lose both sides in a fight." It's better to take a step back, let us pass, and I would like to offer a hundred taels of silver as an apology. ”

Xiahou Jinxuan saw that the other side did not react, and then said: "Besides, it is not the right way to rob the house, life and death are unpredictable, everyone should retire as soon as possible......"

These words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and I saw a shout and shouting inside the bandits.

"Dare to say that the masters can't do kung fu? I'll kill you with a little white face!"

"I don't care if you chirp crookedly, if you beat Lao Tzu's brother, you will die!"

"If it weren't for you damn human beings, Lao Tzu would come and be a bandit, and dare to curse us for an accident?!"

"This kid casually makes a move of one hundred taels, and there must be a lot of silver on his body, big brother, let's go!"

Xiahou Jinxuan didn't realize the consequences of saying this at all, and was muttering something at this time: "Huh?!! How can this be......? That's what it's written in the book......"

Hai Fugui finally understood what the eldest young master said, and his heart was gloomy, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, the master who was about to hug his thigh was not very reliable.

The others were also speechless for a while. The girl hurriedly stopped: "Alas, crow's mouth, please stop talking!"

Xiahou Jinxuan was about to step forward to persuade him, but was pulled by Jiang Cheng and said, "Young Master Xiahou, you can't be reasonable with these reckless people. Let me. ”

Jiang Cheng shouted at the bandits opposite: "Listen to me!", this sound was carried out by the inner family, the sound was like a bell, and it was clearly sent to everyone's ears, and the surrounding bandits were really stunned, and the noisy scene suddenly quieted down. The bandit leader saw that this man had some skills, so he asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Jiang Chengdao: "This brother, as I said just now, if the two sides fight, we fight with our lives and desperately break through, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and you may not be able to stop it." Why don't you and me, two lives, so many lives behind Bo?" Jiang Chenghao said angrily.

The bandits on the other side began to croak again: "Bah! Boss, don't listen to his nonsense, everyone is on it together, do them!"

At this time, Xie Cangxing said on the side: "If you don't dare to fight Brother Jiang, you can fight me." ”

Twilight Lan didn't forget to say to each other: "You two don't joke, there are so many subordinates here, if you lose, where will you put your face?"

Hai Fugui muttered: "People obviously have an advantage, and only fools can fight alone." Seeing a sharp gaze swept over by Twilight, she suddenly felt chills all over her body, and immediately shut up.

Li Yan, the leader of the bandits, didn't know whether he believed in himself or was afraid of losing face, so he agreed, and said: "Hmph, don't you just want to fight alone, don't you need to talk about this nonsense! I will do what you wish, defeat him first, and then clean you up! Let you lose your heart." ”

Jiang Chengyi hugged his fists and said, "Then please." ”

The crowd stepped back and made room for the two.

Jiang Cheng showed his short sword and said, "Please show your weapon." ”

Li Yan said coldly: "My hands are my weapons. ”

Jiang Cheng didn't want to take advantage of him, so he said: "Well, for the sake of fairness, I don't use a blade." Jiang Cheng took the short sword off his fist glove.

Li Yan said: "Whatever you want." Let's make a move. ”

Jiang Cheng came from the Folding Sword Villa, and most of his martial arts fell on his own weapons, and now Jiang Cheng abandoned the short sword and didn't use it, even though he also wore a fist glove, he was afraid that his martial arts would be greatly reduced.

Jiang Cheng did not procrastinate, his figure was vertical, and he threw himself forward, using extremely conservative moves, which was one of the three great masters of the Folding Sword Villa, "Heaven-shaking Fist".

Li Yan saw that the other party was fierce, and he didn't dodge but took a hard way, and he caught up with a punch, only to hear a bang, the real qi was everywhere, the dust was flying, and in the blink of an eye, the two were convenient for short-range combat, entangled together, and for a while the fists and feet wanted to collide, and the figure flew away.

Hai Fugui saw Jiang Cheng's real martial arts at this time, and his eyes couldn't keep up with his punching speed, and the bandit leader Li Yan was able to beat him fast and hard, so he couldn't help but ask others: "I wonder if Brother Jiang can win the bandit leader?"

Xie Cangxing replied while watching: "Judging from Brother Jiang's martial arts, if you use weapons, you will definitely not lose." ”

Hai Fugui listened, and said in his heart: "Alas, this Jiang Cheng is really a dead brain, he doesn't use good weapons, so he has to talk about fairness." ”

The two of them fought faster and faster, and Hai Fugui couldn't see the two of them at all, only to see the two figures, flying up and down, and there was a "bang" sound of fists and feet wanting to hit from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and I saw the two of them punch each other in the air, and each retreated two feet away. Jiang Chengdao: "Your Excellency's martial arts are strong, and I admire you." ”

Li Yan spat and foamed, and said, "You're not bad, be careful!" I saw Li Yan shout, his eyes turned red, his right arm doubled in size, and he could vaguely see the scales covering the surface, his right hand became a five-clawed shape, and his sharp nails looked extraordinarily infiltrating, and his whole body exuded a faint black gas.

Hai Fugui had never seen such a situation, and he was speechless for a while: "This ...... ...... is this?"

Xie Cangxing said indifferently: "Demonization, no wonder the three previous thieves were a little ordinary, it turned out that these were all demons." ”

"Demon!" Hai Fugui felt like he was going crazy, my God, this world is too dangerous.

After Li Yan's right hand was demonized, his strength was doubled, and his body technique was also doubled, and he cultivated the martial arts of the demon bloodline. Jiang Cheng suddenly fell into the disadvantage, and had to defend desperately.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jinxuan couldn't help but be nervous: "Brother Jiang is in danger." ”

Xie Cangxing said: "Not necessarily, I think that there is a huge power hidden in Brother Jiang's body, and this win or loss will not be determined for a while." ”

The girl said anxiously: "I can't see it, Brother Jiang has been so pressed by the bandit leader that he has no power to fight back, big man, which side are you!"

Xie Cangxing just smiled and didn't seem to care much about the fight.

And Hai Fugui couldn't understand it at all, anyway, he only saw where the two figures were, crackling, and couldn't stop.

Jiang Cheng was pressed by the demonized Li Yan, and there was only room for defense, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart: "The so-called long-term defense will be lost." I have to find a way to resolve the situation. "Helplessly, Li Yan's demon martial arts are really sharp and difficult to dissolve. If you use a sword, you may be able to use the Thunder Sword Technique of Folding Sword Villa to fight against it.

Sure enough, after more than 20 moves, I saw Li Yan's right claw sweeping from the right, and quickly turned back and back. Jiang Cheng quickly turned sideways twice and narrowly avoided it, but he didn't see Li Yan's figure, he was shocked, and hurriedly turned around to defend, but it was too late. This is the Demon Shadow Body Method that Li Yan cultivated, "Demon Shadow Vertical", fast and weird.

For the sharp claw that Li Yan sent out behind him, Jiang Cheng had no time to dodge, so he had to avoid the vital point. Li Yan's claw landed on Jiang Cheng's left shoulder fiercely, his clothes were torn, and five blood-red scratches entered the flesh for three points, but fortunately, Jiang Cheng was experienced and avoided one step earlier, so he didn't cause fatal damage......

Xiahou Jinxuan exclaimed, "Brother Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, because he couldn't speak at all at this time. After receiving Li Yan's claw, the injury looked very miserable, but in fact, it didn't hurt much to the body. What really caused Jiang Cheng great trouble was that a stream of demonic energy carried by this claw drilled into Jiang Cheng's body, Jiang Cheng couldn't suppress it for a while, and the worst thing was that this demonic qi was like a fuse, instantly detonating the strange and powerful power that he had suppressed in his body for many years.

All of a sudden, Jiang Cheng's body was like turning over the river and the sea, and the power in his body that had been suppressed for many years was drawn out, and due to the flood that came out of the gate, the long snake and dragon swam wantonly in his body, jumping into the second vein of Ren Du. Jiang Cheng only felt that if this power was not vented, his body would explode.

Jiang Cheng shouted to the sky: "Ah......." With a fierce punch, he used the "Xuanlong Fist" that he had never practiced, and his strength came out of his body, like a fire dragon, bringing a wave of heat to fly towards Li Yan.

And Li Yan also has a trick, I saw that his right claw demon qi condensed, turned his hand, and made a stacked ghost into a huge red claw shadow, facing him, this is the demon trick "Blood Shadow Demon Claw" that Li Yan cultivated. For a while, I saw flying sand and stones.

With a loud "......", the fire dragon and the claw shadow collided together, stirring up a cloud of dust and flying stones. Hai Fugui was more than ten zhang away, only to feel a wave of air rushing towards him, and he actually took two steps back.

The collision of the two people's ultimate, it was obvious that the fire dragon was slightly superior, and the huge claw shadow was pierced by the fire dragon and dissipated in the air, and the fire dragon went straight to Li Yan after passing through the claw shadow.

Li Yan saw that his demon claw shadow was unable to resist, so he had to fire three punches in a row to resist the fire dragon. However, this fire dragon has obviously lost most of its strength after fighting against Claw Shadow. Li Yan just hurriedly punched the fire dragon and suffered a small injury.

Li Yan accepted the move, and said with a surprised expression: "You demon clan! Since you are a demon race, why do you want to help human beings?"

It's like a reservoir flooding, Jiang Cheng has vented part of the power in his body, and he is much better, but he still has to devote a lot of energy to control this strange power. Seeing Li Yan stop, he also stopped his hand and said, "Ridiculous, I don't know what you're talking about." I grew up in the Folding Sword Villa, how could it be the demon you said. ”

Li Yan didn't make much excuses, but just laughed and said, "You will understand in the future, so let's end today." ”

"That's a thank you, brother. ”

Li Yan gestured to his subordinates to collect his troops, and said, "Let's go!" These bandits were also obedient, and immediately left.

Jiang Cheng saw that the other party had left, so he sat down on the ground. Xiahou Jinxuan rushed over anxiously and said, "Brother Jiang, the injury is not serious!"

"It's okay, it's just a small injury on the shoulder, and it's deliberate to put some gold sore medicine, it's just that the true qi in the body was messed up during the fight just now, and I'll just breathe for a while." ”

This strange power in Jiang Cheng's body has awakened since he was ten years old, and at that time, he was able to control it just by luck and pranayama, and he didn't take it to heart, but when he grew up, he realized that his situation was different from that of his brothers and sisters. It's not a simple madness, and I don't dare to tell Shizun, so I have to secretly suppress myself, but I didn't expect to be detonated by the other party's demonic aura today. I almost went mad and exploded and died.

After Jiang Cheng finished pranayama, Xie Cangxing muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the true qi in Brother Jiang's body is not controlled. ”

Dusk Lan said: "This situation happens from time to time in the rivers and lakes, and it is all caused by the greed for practicing and the lack of a solid foundation. Brother Jiang is young, but his internal strength is extremely profound, and he hopes that Brother Jiang can suspend the practice of internal strength, and first regulate the breath in the body smoothly and completely control it before practicing internal strength. ”

Jiang Cheng knew that they had misunderstood, but this situation was even more what he wanted, so he said, "Thank you Miss Dusk for reminding you." ”

Hai Fugui said at this time: "Brother Jiang, don't you need to bandage the wound on your shoulder?"

Jiang Cheng replied: "Just put some gold sore medicine, do you see that this is more than just blood?" Hai Fugui saw that the bleeding had really stopped, and the medicine was effective, so he said: "Then don't you need to wipe and disinfect the surroundings?"

Jiang Cheng felt strange and said, "Disinfection, no, this bandit leader is also acting in a fair and upright manner, and he has not smeared poison on his claws." ”

Xie Cangxing also echoed: "Yes, look at this bandit leader, he is strict and acts brightly, but it's a pity that he is a demon clan, otherwise, the rivers and lakes will have another good man who stands up to the sky." ”

Hai Fugui also knew that he would not be able to explain the disinfection and sterilization to these people for a while, so he said: "Let me deal with it briefly, at least don't let the wound be exposed." "Hai Fugui knows a little about some simple emergency medical accident response methods, and he is also so-so about wound dressing.

Hai Fugui was still wondering just now, what did those bandits say "you humans", and the mutation of the right hand of the bandit leader Li Yan, Xie Cangxing also said that it was demonization. was holding back a question: "Brother Xie, what is the matter with the demon clan you are talking about?"

Xie Cangxing's face showed a strange expression, and Hai Fugui couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

In these years, the demons are horizontal, and the scourge of one side often happens, Xiahou Jinxuan and they had encountered a mutated flower demon before they arrived in Bixi Village, so there are really not many people who don't know about demons, so everyone looked at him with a strange look.

Xie Cangxing said: "We here Young Master Xiahou know the most about these strange things about demons, let's let Young Master Xiahou explain it to you." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan scratched his head and said: "I'm ashamed, I don't look like Brother Hai in Xia, I read sage books, and I like some demons, foxes, fairies and some absurd and weird wild books since I was a child." Most of what I know is from books, but we did meet a flower demon on the way here. ”

So everyone began to rest, Xiahou Jinxuan told Hai Fugui about the deeds of demons and fox fairies he saw in the book, Xiahou Jinxuan read a lot, and his eloquence was also excellent, and his family had always opposed him to reading these absurd and weird books, and finally met a "like-minded" person, and he couldn't wait to tell Hai Fugui all the things he had read in his life. Hai Fugui also faithfully did his duty as an audience, listened attentively, sometimes asked a few questions, sometimes clapped his hands, and sometimes regretted the characters in the book. For a while, the two of them had a feeling of hating each other.

The others saw that the two of them were interested in talking happily, and they didn't bother, they were busy, and the girl saw that these two people were so obsessed, and muttered, "Hmph...... Two nerds!"

After the incident of Li Yan tonight, no one came to disturb him in the second half of the night. Everyone had a good night's sleep.

Of course, Xiahou Jinxuan pulled Hai Fugui until he fell asleep in a daze. Hai Fugui finally understands the composition of this world now, in general, this is indeed the era of the fairy sword five that he is familiar with, then there will definitely be demons, listen to Xiahou Jinxuan said, the demon clan caused chaos in the world thousands of years ago, and the Shenzhou continent was ruined, so it was sealed in the demon world by the three great gods Fuxi, Shennong, and Nuwa. Due to the huge power and large population of the demon clan at that time, although the main forces of the eight major tribes such as the Demon Clan, the Rakshasa Tribe, and the Yaksha Department were driven to the Demon Realm to seal them, there were still many demons hiding in various parts of Shenzhou. For thousands of years, although these remnant demons have been expelled by the human race and can only hide in remote areas or deep mountains and old forests, there are also many demons who live among humans, conceal their identities and interact with humans, and even intermarry, so a large number of half-demons have been produced. The previous bandit leader Li Yan was a half-demon, and now it seems that almost all of those bandits are demons or half-demons. And every time the Shenzhou Continent is turbulent, there will be demonic energy leaking from the Demon Realm, thus infecting humans and causing them to mutate. Because the demons are cruel by nature and like to kill, although thousands of years have passed, it has not reduced the hatred of human beings towards the demons, and the demons naturally have no good feelings towards humans, so the demons are still living a life of hiding and hiding, and humans are taking it as their responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons, and the hatred between the two races has not decreased.

Hai Fugui thought for a moment, and thought in his heart: "If this development continues, the protagonists will definitely start a racial war with the demons in the future." I'm afraid that I won't have a place to live, so where should I go?"

Nothing was said all night.

The situation of the next day, it can be imagined, Xiahou Jinxuan and Hai Fugui did not have much rest the night before, and now they are walking and yawning. The two of them were confused along the way, and the flawed girl couldn't help but gloat and sarcastically said: "Who told you two not to sleep in the middle of the night, but where to talk about fox fairies and flower demons." ”

Finally managed to reach the town with people in front, Xiahou Jinxuan and Hai Fugui couldn't hold on any longer, and fell into the inn and fell asleep.

After passing the Qianfeng Ridge, there is no particularly difficult road, although it is a small road, that is, there are fewer people passing by, the road is quite calm, and the road is relatively flat.

Since you take a shortcut, there are many mountain roads. There were almost no people passing by on the road, and occasionally a few hares and pheasants could be seen jumping out of the roadside. The others also used their own mastery in the same way, and when they came out of this mountain, everyone had game in their hands, not to mention the twilight orchid, the body was extremely fast, and they caught two fat rabbits and released one. The flawed girl's body is not as fast as her, but the hidden weapon in one hand is very accurate, and she has shot down two pheasants. Jiang Cheng threw out the flying sword and directly pinned the rabbit to the ground, while Xiahou Jinxuan was even more desperate, recited a spell in his mouth, played a spell, and immediately fixed the hare in place and couldn't move.

There are only Hai Fugui and his three men, empty-handed, if Bi Tong and Yin Dayou are allowed to go into the water to catch fish, no one here can compare, but when they go ashore, they can't do it.

Because Xiahou Jinxuan and Hai Fugui delayed the journey for half a day, they now have to sleep in the wild again, but fortunately, everyone is used to it.

The group stopped by a small stream, and soon everyone was angry with the fire. No more hungry tonight, enough dry food to bring, and game meat. Everyone removed the fur of their game, cleaned the internal organs, and prepared to start the barbecue.

However, no one brought salt and seasonings, and everyone's barbecue skills were obviously not very good, except for the hare roasted by Xie Cangxing, which was passable, the others roasted, it was all black, miserable, Bi Tong and Yin Dayou wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and desperately held back.

The girl looked at the black barbecue in her hand, and she really didn't have the courage to take a bite, and it was hard to eat. Frustrated, he threw it on the ground, took out the rest of the dry food, and said, "Alas, if I had known that this would be the result, I would not have harmed this lovely rabbit." ”

A woman's thinking, Hai Fugui doesn't understand, has already been tested to ashes, and now she is beginning to pity again.

Twilight Lan also said regretfully: "Yes, I thought there was a delicious meal, but I didn't expect this to be the result." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan also threw away the barbecue in his hand and said, "So, there is a specialization in the art industry." If you change it to a chef to bake it, it will be an excellent delicacy, and you can see that Brother Xie baked it well. ”

Xie Cangxing tore a piece of barbecue meat, stuffed it into his mouth and said, "It's not bad, there is no salt, and there are no condiments." The taste is extremely light and fishy, and it is not as chewy as steamed buns. ”

"What scent?" Suddenly, the girl's nose sniffed in the air, and she smelled a faint fragrance.

I saw Hai Fugui, a gray ball in his hand, jumping up and down, it turned out that Hai Fugui couldn't catch the hare and pheasant, so he took a few sweet potatoes on the side of the road, which were buried in the fire before, and now they are ripe.

Roasting sweet potatoes doesn't require any technical content, Hai Fugui has been able to do it since he was a child. Hai Fugui gently broke open the ripe sweet potato, exuding a burst of melon fragrance, which made his mouth reel, so he said: "I roasted a few sweet potatoes, do you want to taste it?"

"Okay!" said happily, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten sweet potatoes for a long time, and I am greedy when I smell this fragrance, and I loved it when I was a child." The girl took a sweet potato, skillfully patted the dust, removed the skin, and revealed the red and yellow cooked meat inside, and took a bite lightly, a little hot mouth, but she still couldn't help but praise: "Ah...... True...... Delicious!"

Xie Cangxing put down the barbecue in his hand: "Miss Flawed is so praised, my old Xie also came to taste Haigongzi's craftsmanship." Hai Fugui handed one to him, Xie Cangxing was not afraid of being hot, patted the ashes, took a big bite, and said: "It's really good, I don't see that Hai Gongzi still has this unique skill." ”

Hai Fugui said: "You're welcome, everyone is in the fire, it's all cooked, take it yourself." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan has never eaten this kind of coarse grain since he was a child, so he tasted it and said: "Well, it's really good, sweet but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, I didn't expect there to be such food." ”

The girl replied: "You are the eldest young master of the Xiahou family, from the snacks of the mountains and seas, how do you know that this sweet potato is the staple food of our poor people's families." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan really didn't know, and for a while he felt a little bit about the difference between the poor and the rich.

Hai Fugui saw that Dusk Calamina did not eat sweet potatoes, but still ate dry food, and saw that his face was salivating, but he was afraid that he would not be able to put it down because of himself, so he got up and said: "Since everyone likes it, I will dig some sweet potatoes to roast." ”

Jiang Chengdao: "Hai Gongzi, it's dark this night, and it's hard to tell the way, so forget it." ”

"It's okay, it's not far, I'll go back as soon as I go. With that, he left.

Bi Tong shouted from behind: "Young helper, wait, I'll go with you." Yin Da saw it and followed.

"Hai Gongzi is careful, shout loudly if there is anything. The girl commanded aloud.

Seeing that Twilight still had a steamed bun in her hand, the girl asked, "Sister Twilight, don't you eat sweet potatoes?"

Twilight replied, "I'm not interested in sweet potatoes. But he said in his heart: "If it wasn't for that scoundrel embryo roasting, I would have done it a long time ago, you know, I also liked to eat sweet potatoes when I was a child." ”

The girl stuffed one in her hand and said, "Taste it, it's delicious." ”

After prevaricating a few times, she took it over, skillfully patted the ashes and peeled them, and in a blink of an eye, they were gone, and after eating, she found that the flawed girl was looking at her with a strange look, and her face was slightly red: "Well, this sweet potato is not bad." ”

Hai Fugui returned to the previous sweet potato field, shaved a few sweet potatoes, and carried them around with his clothes. The sweet potatoes that plagued the farmer's house left a piece of broken silver, so that people would not curse behind their backs.

Estimated the time before going back.

Then everyone happily busied themselves with roasted sweet potatoes. The night was a joyful one.

To find out what's next, listen to the next breakdown.
