After a night of fierce fighting, everyone finally retreated from the Xuantian Great Array at dawn.

The rain was still pouring down, and on the way back to Chengkou Town, no one was in the mood to speak, and everyone was hurrying with their heads bored.

Nearly 100 people entered the battle, and less than 70 people finally withdrew, and almost all of them were injured, and there were even people like Yu Linglong and Zhao Baichuan who were dying and needed urgent treatment.

However, there is no worst, only worse. When everyone returned to Chengkou Town in despair, they saw Geng Nanyi and the others who had retreated earlier, only to find that more than 200 masters who attacked Qianshan had killed more than 50 people, and 30 or 40 people were attacked by the "Purple Cloud Poisonous Spider" and were injured and poisoned to varying degrees.

The most ironic thing is that Long Zhaoyuan, who was desperate for his life to rescue, returned to Chengkou Town alone and unharmed at dawn.

It turned out that he didn't dare to really break through the Hundred Tigers and Thousand Battles at all, and the courage and blood he used had been exhausted on the long mountain road, so he went around in the mountains like a lost lamb for most of the night, and finally was unharmed, and even brought back a few more raindrops on his hair than when he went.

But the crowd no longer had the heart to reproach him, and at most they only cast a cold, disdainful gaze.

Save the dead and help the wounded, arrange guards, and plan for the aftermath...... Everyone suppressed their sadness and anger and silently did what they could. But no one knows what to do next? Last night's battle almost destroyed morale and confidence, and the Huge Village in the distance was shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it had become an insurmountable moat.

Diao Xiaosi was listless, lying on the big bed with his feet facing the sky, silent at the ceiling.

This time, I was taught a hard lesson by the old blind man, and I was discouraged and held back my fire and had nowhere to vent.

Although the dead old man used to change his way to fix himself when he was there, every time he came back to life, he would also stuff two dates.

The old blind man is not a dead old man, don't think about dates this time, how to make a flute is something that needs to be considered.

"Ge Laozi, this time Lao Tzu has thrown his face home. If you have revenge, you are not a gentleman, and you have to get the field back if you say anything!"

Diao Xiaosi gritted his teeth and pondered in his heart: "Last night, hundreds of people attacked the old blind man's hands, it seems that the method has to be thought of otherwise." The dead old man said that the formation of the world is ever-changing, and it is nothing more than two in one life, two in three, three in life, and a thousand changes...... Tracing back to the source, we have to start from the formation to break his grandmother's!"

But where is the eye of the Hundred Tigers and Thousand Brothers Formation, Diao Xiaosi spread out the formation diagram on the bed and looked at it for a long time, still clueless.

The more he looked at it, the more irritable he became, the more he thought about it, and he felt dizzy and sleepy, and couldn't help but annoy: "Fuck it, I want to sleep for a while." ”

He yawned heavily, stopped thinking about breaking the formation, closed his eyes and snored after a while.

Who expected that this sleep would not wake up until the evening, during which Geng Nanyi, Chu Lie and others came to look for them one after another, and when they saw the doors and windows closed, the snoring in the house shook the sky and left disappointed.

Diao Xiaosi woke up refreshed, sat up and stretched comfortably, seeing that the light in the room was dim, I was afraid that it was going to be night, so he lazily put on his shoes and planned to go out to fill his stomach.

Suddenly, his gaze swept over the table, and he was surprised to find that the array had been moved at some point.

He glanced at the tightly closed doors and windows, and said in confusion: "I obviously remember that this drawing was pressed under Lao Tzu before falling asleep, how could I change places?"

When he approached the table, Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but shake his body, and said in a lost voice: "Hell!"

I saw that dozens of criss-crossing lines had been drawn on the top of the formation diagram, and there were a few lines of small characters next to it, all of which were the key to breaking the formation. Outside the door of the Juyi Hall of Hugezhai, there is a small circle drawn by Zhu Pen, what is it that Diao Xiaosi is not looking for in the array?

Above the vermilion circle, a line of vermilion pen and small characters read: "Hundred tigers and thousands of ge, ten thousand gold arrays!"

"Diao Xiaosi, you baba!" Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but slap the table, and felt that the enlightenment suddenly opened up, and all the problems and doubts were solved with the lines added to the formation diagram like a cow and the lines of the key to breaking the formation.

"What are the three talents and four elephants, the gossip and the nine palaces, and the twenty-eight nights, all of which are the old blind man's tricks! In the final analysis, this is his mother's five-element array that can't be simpler, with gold as the respect, water and fire attack and civil engineering to cover each other, and reverse yin and yang to derive infinity. ”

Diao Xiaosi stared at the formation diagram and exclaimed excitedly: "How could Lao Tzu never think that there would be someone smarter than me...... Huh?!"

Diao Xiaosi suddenly made a stirring spirit, and looked up and down, left and right, and looked at all the doors and windows in the house. I saw that the door bolt was down, the window was locked, could it be that someone jumped in from the roof when he was sleeping, and slipped away quietly?

He wondered in amazement, "Who would be so boring? Old man Geng? No! Old blind man?...... Not at all. And who else - is it a dead old man?"

As soon as this thought came out, Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and reluctantly comforted himself: "This inn is heavily guarded, and even a fly can't fly away, how can a dead old man sneak in unnoticed? If he really has this ability, he wouldn't have to take Lao Tzu around digging graves and digging pits to eat ash and mud in the past." ”

Who is that? In these years, there are really heroes who have done good deeds without leaving a name?

Thinking of the heroic knight, Diao Xiaosi's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that Big Brother Chi is back?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, and he said happily: "Nine times out of ten, Big Brother Chi doesn't want to come forward directly, so he pretends to help Old Man Geng with my hand." With his cultivation, not to mention sneaking into Lao Tzu's house, it may not be impossible to sneak into Huge Village and steal the true picture that the old blind man hid!"

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside: "Little fourth brother, there is a Taoist chief outside, saying that he is your friend." ”

"Daoist?" Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said strangely: "When did Lao Tzu make friends with a Taoist priest?"

He put away the formation diagram and opened the door, and saw a dart master who knew how to pass the dart bureau standing respectfully at the door, so he asked: "Where is the Taoist priest, take me to take a look, if it is a cheat to eat and drink the autumn wind, you don't have to be polite, immediately help Lao Tzu beat him out." ”

He followed the master to the front hall of the inn, and saw a chubby and fat guy sitting in the corner, with straw-like hair, dirty, oily robes, and a black whisk under his armpits. He nibbled on fried chicken thighs as if no one was around, while holding a gourd in his big greasy hand and pouring wine into his mouth.

Seeing Diao Xiaosi walking in, the Taoist priest stretched out his hand and wiped his grease mouth and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerableβ€”β€”"

Diao Xiaosi rolled his eyes and scolded secretly: "Immeasurable your size, where did you come from, the old miscellaneous hair, deceived you to eat and drink and deceived your fourth master Diao?"

He grimaced and asked, "Who are you, where are you from, what are you looking for me?"

The fat Taoist priest grinned and said, "Someone sent a few jars of good wine to the poor Daoist and asked me to come over and help you." With that, he took out a letter from his cuff and threw it to Diao Xiaosi.

Diao Xiaosi stretched out his hand to catch the letter that floated steadily from the air, and when he unfolded it, he saw that it was Chai Shao's handwriting. It is said that the life-saving grace of Yunyang Town cannot be repaid, and the head of Zhongnan Mountain Ye is specially invited to come to help everyone and pacify Daba Mountain and clear Huge Village.

Diao Xiaosi took the letter and read it again, frowned and thought: "This Xiaochai is really interesting, but he is also a county lord and a horse master, how can he stuff such a live treasure to me?"

He was thinking about how to send people, but unexpectedly, the Taoist priest opened his mouth coldly and spewed out a beam of golden-red pure yang true fire, and with a "sigh" sound, the few pieces of paper that Diao Xiaosi was holding in his hand burned in an instant.

Diao Xiaosi was caught off guard, and subconsciously retracted his hand and shouted, "Old thief, what are you doing?"

The fat Taoist priest smiled and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable - the law does not pass on six ears." ”

Diao Xiaosi understood that Chai Shao didn't want the letter to leak and cause unnecessary trouble, but how could he see how this fat Taoist priest was unpleasant, and snorted: "I said, your fire-breathing kung fu is very beautiful." ”

The fat Taoist priest smiled and said: "The poor road sleeps in the open for family style food, and it is convenient to barbecue." ”

Diao Xiaosi clapped his hands and said: "Then will you break a big stone on your chest, and have a golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, play monkey swallowing a sword or something? Catch Ming'er, I'll take you to the town to play, maybe there is a restaurant that lacks a cook to light a fire." ”

The fat Taoist priest didn't get angry when he heard this, and nodded and said, "If you are willing to help me make money, we will have money to earn together." ”

At this time, Chu Lie walked in from outside, and saw Diao Xiaosi's face and said with joy: "Little fourth brother, you have finally woken up, everyone is waiting for you." ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you waiting for me to do?" Looking at the sky, isn't it that the old man is worried that when it is time to open the table for dinner, there is no stock in his stomach.

Chu Lie smiled bitterly: "Of course, for the sake of breaking the formation, we old guys have discussed it all day and can't get the essentials, I want to hear your opinion." ”

He turned his head to look at the fat Taoist priest and hesitated, "Who is this Taoist leader?"

Although Diao Xiaosi didn't treat this person very well, after all, Chai Shao kindly invited him to help him, so he had to give some face, so he coughed dryly and said vaguely: "A friend I knew before had to come to me because he owed someone a lot of gambling debts and was afraid of being chased and killed." ”

Chu Lie didn't seem to understand it, but he probably understood what Diao Xiaosi meant, and when he heard that it was his friend, he didn't have it, and said, "Then please invite this Taoist to come with you." ”

The fat Taoist priest Shi Shiran stood up and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun - people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." Xiao Diao, when Poor Dao Shi entered the door, he saw that there was a roast goose shop opposite the inn, and the business was very prosperous, so it tasted good, why don't you bring two for tonight's supper?"

When Chu Lie heard this, he not only sympathized with Diao Xiaosi, although he despised the fat Taoist priest for cheating and drinking as soon as he came, but he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, so he said happily: "I'll let people buy it." ”

Diao Xiaosi rolled his eyes angrily, and he didn't bother to talk to the fat Taoist priest, he walked out of the inn with a flick of his face, and heard him telling Chu Lie: "Don't forget to ask the boss to send two more packets of honey sauce, and it tastes better when the roast goose is dipped and eaten." ”
