Yan Si is the top master in the evil way. If his evil skills are fully utilized, he can compete with Monk Busha and others. Even if Hu Xiaotian's power is fully restored, he is no match for him right now. What's more, he is still practicing forbidden martial arts, and he has just issued a life-saving sword. His energy and energy have fallen to the bottom, and he is no longer able to resist his opponent's killing move.
Yan Jiu opened his mouth and yelled angrily: "Stop!" He kicked his feet repeatedly, and the broken wood of tables and chairs whizzed towards Yan Si, trying to disrupt his moves. But they were too far apart, the wood flying like rain was still in the air, and Yan Si's iron fan had already chopped down mercilessly.
Hu Xiaotian fell to the ground and rolled rapidly, and his shoulders and back were swept by the force of the iron fan. It was like being hit with a sledgehammer. He couldn't help but vomit blood and hit the wall hard.
Yan Si was overjoyed when he saw this. Could it be that this boy's magical swordsmanship was just a flash in the pan? ! Laughing loudly, he waved his fan to swat away the wood that was being shot. He gathered nine powers with his left palm and aimed at Hu Xiaotian's head and swung it down, making sure to blow his head to pieces to vent his anger. Hu Xiaotian saw that the enemy's palm had struck him, and he suddenly raised his hand, and threw a delicate jade bottle out of his hand. It was immediately smashed into pieces within the reach of his palm, and countless white powders flew in all directions. Yan Si couldn't hold back and rushed into the white mist. He instinctively held his breath for fear that the mist was poisonous. But in the next moment, a bone-chilling chill filled his body and quickly penetrated into his flesh and bones. . Yan Si shouted out loud: "What kind of ghost-seeing, playing, playingmeaning is this?" His voice was trembling, and he could hardly form a sentence. Although he immediately used his energy to resist, a layer of white ice crystals unstoppably covered his entire body, turning into a white ice sculpture with a weird posture in the blink of an eye.
It turns out that what Hu Xiaotian threw was the ten thousand year ice soul! This object is extremely cold, and ordinary people will be frozen stiff at the slightest contact. Even a first-class master like Yan Si rushes into the ice mist transformed by the ice soul. His energy and blood will also be blocked, and he will temporarily lose the ability to move. . At the moment when his life was at stake, and with no hope of divine weapons descending from heaven, Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to abandon this Ming Cult divine object in order to avoid the imminent murder. As for how to balance the yin and yang in the body from now on, and how to avoid going crazy, I don't have to worry about that much.
Hu Xiaotian was well aware of the strange cold characteristics of the ice soul. He rolled to avoid it before it exploded. He grabbed the short knife from the dead soul guard's hand and was about to take the opportunity to kill Yan Si. However, he heard several loud bangs and the window was closed. Six or seven black-clothed and masked soul guards rushed in at the same time, brandishing their swords: "Protect the master!"
Hu Xiaotian was startled, and threw the short knife at Yan Si, who was stiff, and shouted at Yan Jiu who was confused: "Run away!" With Yan Si's internal strength cultivation, he could regain his freedom of movement in at least a quarter of an hour. At this time How long will it take if you don¡¯t leave?
Yan Jiu had no time to ask carefully, and reached out to grab Hu Xiaotian's arm. He used his other hand to strike several palms, shook away the black-clothed soul guard blocking the way, and jumped out through the window. Yan Si felt guilty as a thief, so he only brought his most loyal soul guards along with him. With limited manpower, he did not dare to make a grand plan to murder Yan Jiu, so there was no ambush outside the house. The two climbed over the wall and crossed the courtyard, stepped on the tiles and ran quickly, seizing the time to escape quickly. Yan Jiu ran for a while, then jumped off the roof tiles, pulling Hu Xiaotian and hiding in a deserted small courtyard. She had just been kicked and was unable to adjust her breath in time to heal herself. When she stopped, she couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing softly, and red blood seeped out between her fingers.
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Miss Yan, I have the Lihuo Pill secretly prepared by Shaolin Temple, which may help your injury a little." He poured out the pill and handed it over.
Because he was in a hurry, Yan Jiu didn't have time to bring anything with him. Apart from a few sacred items from the sect, he didn't even have a tael of silver, let alone healing pills. She glanced at Hu Xiaotian with a complicated expression and said softly: "Thank you very much." She took the Lihuo Pill and drank it, sighing in her heart, how long will it take for her debt to him to be repaid? If Hu Xiaotian hadn't helped her today, she would never have been able to escape Yan Si's clutches. She would most likely have become a plaything for others to humiliate, and her end would have been a hundred times worse than death.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yan Si has betrayed you and intends to harm you. Why don't you immediately contact other disciples to jointly conquer this beast? As long as you show your clan master's token, you will be famous and occupy the moral high ground. Don't be afraid. Yan Si is messing around."
Yan Jiu shook his head and said: "Master Hu, you don't know something. Yan Si is commanding the disciples of our sect in Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Taiyuan. He single-handedly promoted all the big and small bosses in the city. Although I have the sect leader's token. , but this thing alone is not enough to overwhelm them. When it comes to the dispute over the sect master, these people may not explicitly support me, nor may they besiege Yan Si. In all likelihood, they will sit on the wall and wait and see, between me and Yan Si The outcome is determined by life and death. Without external support, it will be difficult for me to defeat Yan Si and the forces behind him."
Hu Xiaotian gasped, Luoyang turned out to be Yan Si¡¯s territory! The right time, the right place, the right people, and all the people are in the enemy's hands. Why should Yan Jiu fight with others? Not to mention defeating Yan Si, she should be thankful to God and her ancestors for being able to escape safely outside the city. He frowned and said: "Miss Yan, can't you inform Yan Da, Yan Er and others to come forward to seek justice? The nine ghosts of the underworld are both known in the world, and according to their orderWhere can it be the turn of Yan Si to cover the sky with one hand? "
Yan Jiu sighed lightly: "Yan Si is also familiar with the several secret contact points inside and outside the city. How could he not prevent me from writing a letter asking for help? If nothing unexpected happens, every contact point is a death trap. Just wait. I stepped in rashly. What do you think I should do?"
"Compared to Yan Jiu, Hu Xiaotian is even stranger to Luoyang. He has no relatives, so where can he find someone to deliver the message? Yan Jiu wants to avoid the pursuit of Yan Si, and he wants to avoid the revenge of the Lianzhu Gang. It can be said that they are in the same boat. The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, both of them felt that the road ahead was bleak and confusing.
Night falls, the moon is as cold as water.
Li Xiuniang, regardless of her tiredness, put on a plain white dress after returning home, put incense and candles in front of the secretly established memorial tablet, and worshiped silently. She had written to the old man about the news of Sun Haozhen's death and the return of the family head's ring, and sent someone to send it back to the Sun family in Kaifeng urgently. Before the old lady made a decision, considering the power disputes between different branches of the family, she had to suppress the news of Sun Haozhen's violent death to prevent the dispute between the family heads from changing immediately. In the past two days, she had pretended to have nothing to do and continued to deal with the business accounts as before, secretly shedding countless tears. Her husband died early and unexpectedly, and she had not given birth to a boy or a girl. She became a widow at a young age. How should she deal with herself in the Sun family in the future? If the old man passes away, who can she rely on? She knew very well that among those uncles and brothers, they either coveted her beauty and wanted to force her to remarry, or they were deliberately trying to drive her back to her parents' family. No one wanted to see her occupy the high position of the family's deacon and act alone.
Li Xiuniang held the spiritual plaque in her hand and couldn't help but shed tears again. She said softly: "Husband, you died in a foreign country with no bones left. Can you find your way home? I miss you, I miss you, I blame you, I hate you, you are so You know, will you meet me in a dream? For the Sun family, and to repay the old man's respect, I have lived a very tired and hard life. Do you know? If you are still alive, I will definitely take off the burden on my shoulders. Focus on being a good wife and mother"
Suddenly, there were two soft pops at the rear window, and someone called out softly: "Mrs. Sun!"
Li Xiuniang was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down the curtain to block the memorial tablet, and moved to the window. Her heart was beating wildly for some reason, and she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. She said softly: "Is it Mr. Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's Xiaosheng! Madam, open the window quickly, I have something urgent to ask for your help."
Li Xiuniang¡¯s cheeks were hot and her palms were sweaty. Countless fantasy scenes about male and female affairs flashed through her mind. She was ashamed and angry. This person obviously already had a wife, so why did he sneak into the Sun family with evil intentions? Did he think of himself as a coquettish and intolerable bitch? His tone became cold, and he said calmly: "Master Hu, I am alone in my family. It is inconvenient to meet you in the dormitory. If you have anything to do, I can come to discuss it formally tomorrow."
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Mrs. Sun, I am not here alone, there is also a chivalrous woman to accompany me. We were hunted by gangsters before, so we had no choice but to go to Madam shamelessly, hoping that Madam would save us from danger. , help us tide over the difficulties." Yan Jiu next to him coughed lightly and said, "Sorry to bother Mrs. Sun." In order to avoid scaring strangers, she had already removed the evil ghost mask behind Hu Xiaotian's back and covered her face with cloth instead.
When Li Xiuniang heard the voice of a young woman outside the window, a stone fell to her heart. It turned out that she had been worrying too much and almost misunderstood the other person's character. She opened the window and saw Hu Xiaotian and a masked woman standing side by side, with dark red blood stains on their clothes. She was secretly surprised and said hurriedly: "Master Hu, this heroine, please come in quickly."
Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu lightly jumped into the room and closed the back window. Hu Xiaotian cupped his hands and said: "Mrs. Sun, we suddenly encountered a turmoil. We have neither relatives nor friends to seek refuge with us. Thinking that we had met Madam once, we came here uninvited and wanted to use the precious place to stay for a few days. No need to disturb us. ."
Li Xiuniang glanced at Yan Jiu curiously, rolled up her sleeves and returned the courtesy: "Young master, you are so polite. You strictly kept your promise and sent home the master's token on behalf of your late husband. The slave family is grateful, but regrets that there is nothing to repay. Today, the master is in trouble, my Sun family It is my duty to be a helping hand."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you madam! This time we have offended the Lianzhu Gang. They are local snakes in Luoyang with broad hands and eyes. In order to avoid leaking the news, I asked madam to help cover up." On the way here, he had already met Yan Jiu. We have discussed that there is no need to mention the dispute over the underworld clan leader with Mrs. Sun, it is enough to pull out the Lianzhu Gang. Unexpectedly, Yan Jiu told him that the Lianzhu Gang was a peripheral gang affiliated with the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld. The gang leader and the heads of each hall were official disciples of the Underworld, but they never revealed their true identities and martial arts. Hu Xiaotian suddenly understood. No wonder the Lianzhu Gang suddenly sent out fireworks signals to recall gang members from all over the place. What could be more important than the replacement of old and new sect leaders?
Li Xiuniang frowned slightly and said angrily: "It's the Lianzhu Gang again! Did that bastard Sun Haoxiang call them here? This incompetent guy drinks and gambles all day long. When he encounters trouble, he goes to the Lianzhu Gang to solve it, and he doesn't know how much money he has spent. What a waste of money! Oh, why is your lady missing? Could it be that she wasWas it hijacked by the gangsters from the Lianzhu Gang? "
Hu Xiaotian had mixed feelings when he thought of leaving Li Xuan'er without saying goodbye, and said: "My wife is luckier than me. She has been rescued by a mysterious nun. Madam, I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Li Xiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, caressed her chest and said: "Blessed by Bodhisattva, good people will be rewarded. In this case, the young master and this heroine can live here with peace of mind. With me in charge, no matter how rampant the Lianzhu Gang is, they will not Rush into the house and arrest people. After all, this is the world of the Ming Dynasty, and the government is suppressing them and they will not be tolerated to act recklessly."
Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu exchanged a look, and then said: "Madam, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. The situation is bad. The other party is determined to kill us. We can't be trapped in the Sun family forever. Therefore, I would like to ask Madam to send someone early tomorrow morning. People rushed to send several letters asking for help."
Li Xiuniang said: "No problem. My Sun family's business is spread all over the north and south of the Yangtze River. If there is an emergency, we can fly pigeons to deliver messages, hundreds of miles a day, which is far better than a galloping horse on land."
Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. Yan Jiu then took out pen and ink and wrote four notes in a row using the code in the door, indicating the address and recipient, and asked Li Xiuniang to send them away as quickly as possible. As for the identities of the two of them, given Li Xiuniang's status as the head of the Sun family in Luoyang, it was natural for them to make arrangements easily. Of course, before they were officially handed over to the steward of the mansion, they both put on makeup and transformed into two ordinary servants.
Seeing Yan Jiu¡¯s beautiful face and straight nose, Hu Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but take a second look. Yan Jiu's senses were so sharp that he immediately frowned and said coldly: "The sage said: 'Don't look at anything inappropriate'. The young master is familiar with poetry and books, could it be that he has forgotten it?" She did not allow others to watch her when she was disguised. Her appearance is quite beautiful, but her face is deliberately pockmarked, which is embarrassing. Hu Xiaotian shrugged and said: "You and I are in the same boat through life and death, so what's the harm in taking a second look?" Yan Jiu frowned and said: "It's the same thing, I don't like being peeped by men." "Peeping, peeping?!" Hu Xiaotian almost choked to death on his own saliva. We were watching openly and openly, but she described him as like a lewd thief. It was really depressing.
Li Xiuniang smiled and said with deep meaning: "Sister Yan has never left the palace, so she doesn't want people to spy on her at will. I see that my sister is slender, her skin is as jade-like, and her temperament is elegant. She must have come from a family of poets and calligraphers. How could she be a fashionable girl?" A heroine who comes and goes? If my sister is tired of the life in the world in the future, just tell her that I will find a good husband who is handsome and well-off."
Yan Jiudeng's face turned red. Although it was blocked by the thick makeup, his cheeks were also flushed. He stamped his feet and said: "Sister, you are also making fun of others. I, I swore in front of the gods that I will never marry in this life. Human.¡±
Li Xiuniang was greatly surprised and said curiously: "How can a girl not get married and have children? My dear sister, it is natural for men and women to be compatible. Don't give up the idea of ??getting married just because you are shy. Is it because your family is not well off? Are you worried that you can't afford a dowry and will be humiliated by your husband's family? Since you called me 'sister' today, I will take care of the dowry. I guarantee that you will marry in style and shock your future parents-in-law."
Yan Jiu was so embarrassed that she covered her ears: "Sister, don't say it! I won't marry anyway!"
Li Xiuniang didn't know the rules of the underworld, so she thought she was too shy and gave up after a few words of comfort. Li Xiuniang was very fond of Yan Jiu, so she made an impromptu decision to let her stay in the room as a personal maid, and they could talk at night. Hu Xiaotian's fate was not so good. He was taken by the housekeeper to the side courtyard where the servants lived. He and several male servants crowded on the bunk and spent the night with him.
Early the next morning, Hu Xiaotian asked for leave from the housekeeper and went out to work alone.
Who would have thought that in just one night, many people from all walks of life would appear on the street. They were from all over the world, had mixed accents, and were swaggering around with weapons on their backs. Hu Xiaotian was secretly curious, could something big happen recently? His current identity is that of a servant of the Sun family. To avoid exposing his flaws, he cannot ask people in the world.
Hu Xiaotian came to the city gate and took advantage of the situation to engrave a contact code so that Song Qian and others could contact each other after they arrived in Luoyang. Then, he wandered around and found a weapons shop hidden in an alley. In the front of the shop, common weapons such as swords, guns, swords and forks are sold, while in the back is a place where weapons are made, with the sound of tinkling iron going on. Hu Xiaotian picked an iron sword, paid the bill, wrapped it in a cloth and carried it on his back. With the sword in hand, he suddenly felt a lot more confident. As soon as he walked out of the weapons shop, a group of gangsters crowded in: "Boss, our weapons are damaged, can you repair them here?" The boss grinned and said: "As long as the price is right, no matter how damaged the weapon is, it can be repaired." It can be repaired." The men took off their weapons and made a noise so loud that it could knock down the roof, for fear that others would not know about their heroic deeds.
Hu Xiaotian stood outside the door, and without even trying to pry, he learned from them that Yan Ao had actually broken through the layers of blockade and escaped into Luoyang City! Can't help but click one's tongue?, The method of hiding and escaping from the underworld is really amazing. First Yan Jiu and then Yan Ao were able to escape the pursuit of the heroes. It is indeed amazing. People from all walks of life who coveted the holy relics of the Demon Sect were naturally unwilling to give up and rushed into the city at the same time, using their magical powers to search for Yan Ao's whereabouts. It¡¯s just that Luoyang has tens of thousands of residents and a huge population. Finding a target in the vast sea of ??people is no different from finding a needle in a haystack. What's more, Luoyang is where the Henan Prefecture is located, and the Ming military garrison is stationed. Who dares to openly break into people's houses and act recklessly? Once the government is alerted, they will be left with nothing to eat. There are still hundreds of heads hanging on Chang'an City!
Hu Xiaotian sighed secretly, if Yan Ao had entered the city earlier, even if he only had one breath left, with the prestige he had accumulated over the years, he would be able to suppress the ambitions of all others. Now that Yan Si has taken action boldly and completely fell out with Yan Jiu, as the saying goes, there is no turning back, he will definitely go to the dark side. The top priority is to find a way to get rid of Yan Ao and prevent their father and daughter from contacting each other. According to common sense, after Yan Ao enters the city, he will most likely contact the senior officials of the Lianzhu Gang and mobilize his disciples to protect his own safety. If nothing else happens, someone will report the news to Yan Sitong.
Hu Xiaotian thought of lightning in his mind. If he were Yan Si, he would not take the initiative to bear the reputation of killing Yan Ao. The most ideal and effective way is undoubtedly to kill with a borrowed knife! There are many masters in the city, and everyone covets the sacred objects of the Demon Sect. As long as Yan Ao's hiding place is revealed, do you have to worry about no one to do it for you? A generation of heroes is in trouble both internally and externally, and their lives are in danger!
