All the way south, there were more and more pedestrians, and all kinds of rumors spread rapidly among business travelers. The news about the outbreak of plague in Bozhou and the death of humans and animals was undoubtedly the most frightening. ././ Everyone is talking about this epidemic that is invisible and intangible, but can spread quickly and kill many people. Many business travelers return home halfway through the journey, unwilling to risk stepping into death. Master Miaofa, Kong Qingxia and his party purchased a lot of medicinal materials along the way and filled three large carts, but they speeded up and headed south. After noon, Zhang Dakai and others rushed to join the brigade, but their companions did not meditate. Needless to say, their plan to snipe Luo Biao failed.
A big stone fell to the ground in Dugu Yan's heart. With a smile on his face, he hummed Jiangnan Xiaoling to himself, which made him stand out among the gloom and gloom.
Entering the boundary of Zhecheng County, the sky gradually darkens and pedestrians become increasingly rare. Seeing that it was almost dusk, Luo Biao and Yao Tie did not send Jingxin back as promised. Duguyan couldn't help but feel anxious secretly, her joy was swept away, and she looked back from time to time, slightly anxious. Hu Xiaotian was also secretly surprised. Did something unexpected happen to Luo Biao and Yao Tie on the way, which hindered their return to Jingxin? Or maybe Duguyu's condition was too serious and the meditation treatment took a long time, thus delaying his return trip? He originally thought that he only needed to look after Dugu Yan for one day, but Yao Tie and the others had not yet arrived, and it looked like they would be forced to stay behind.
Night falls quietly, and suddenly I see fire flashing on the right side of the road. I don¡¯t know who lit the bonfires, which are really eye-catching in the dark night. When I got closer, I saw more than a hundred people sitting scattered in the field. There are merchants who specialize in the sale and purchase of goods. There were also people from all walks of life, who were divided into six or seven groups, chatting and eating dry food. The atmosphere was very depressing. One of the group of people has extraordinary momentum, they are Du Lei, Tong Yishan, Wei Tai and others! Du Lei had sharp eyes and got up early and said with a smile: "Brother Kong, where is your Taishan Sword Sect going in such a mighty manner? Due to the seriousness of the epidemic, the front line has been blocked by officers and soldiers, making it impossible. We all missed our stay because of this. If you have to deal with it casually in the wild for one night, I'm afraid you won't be able to go any further."
Kong Qingxia hurriedly reined in his horse and stood still. He jumped off his horse, clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Head Du, disrespectful! I wonder where the epidemic has spread now?"
Both parties are old friends, so they exchanged pleasantries. Then they understood each other's purpose. Du Lei and others heard that Master Miao was present and hurriedly came forward to pay their respects. Du Lei sincerely praised: "Master is not afraid of diseases and bravely goes to the epidemic area to save people. He is really a benevolent chivalrous person with a bodhisattva heart." The wonderful method is said: "Master Du Shi said seriously. I have learned a lot of medical skills, if I don't use it to treat diseases and save people. , wouldn¡¯t it be in vain? Although the disciples of the Taishan Sword Sect do not know medical skills, they are not afraid of life and death. They escort them all the way with their swords. They are brave heroes." Kong Qingxia said: "Where is it? I can't wait to do rough physical work. , I should not be praised by Master Tai." Du Lei glanced at him and said in surprise: "I heard that the Jingxin nun is always with Master Tai, why is she missing this time?" It was okay that he didn't mention Jingxin, but his face darkened when he mentioned the wonderful method. , with cold eyes like lightning, it hit Dugu Yan's face: "Miss Dugu, please come here!"
Dugu Yan stepped forward bravely, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Master Miao is summoning the juniors, what are your instructions?"
The firelight illuminated her beautiful smile. The merchants from far and near all took a breath of air-conditioning, and a thought flashed in everyone's mind - what a beauty that will captivate the country! Even with the perseverance of Du Lei, Tong Yishan, Wei Tai and others, they couldn't help but feel dazed.
Miaofa frowned and said: "Miss Dugu, your companions promised to send you back to Jingxin this afternoon, but they have not been seen until now. What is the reason for the delay? Or maybe they don't care about your life or death and don't want to fulfill their promise at all?"
Dugu Yan said: "Master Tai, my second brother and fourth brother are both good men who promise a lot of money. They will work hard to do what they promised. Please be patient and wait a little longer."
Miaofa took a deep breath and said slowly: "My patience has its limits. Don't forget what pills you took last night!"
Dugu Yan said flatly: "If Jingxin encounters any unexpected situation, I will just pay with my life!"
At this moment, a sudden and rapid sound of hoofbeats was heard from the northeast, and a thin, shrill voice of a woman was faintly carried in the wind. Miaofa's face changed drastically, and he lost his voice and said: "It's Jingxin!" Everyone suddenly became busy, some remounted their horses, and some directly used Qinggong, and rushed to the northeast with a "crash".
Under the pale moonlight, two riders were seen leading the way, one was Jingxin, who was bald in gray clothes, and the other was Yao Tie, who was covered in blood. Behind them, there were more than ten men in uniform uniforms chasing after them. Five or six of them were holding bows and arrows, and their arrows were flying in pursuit of their souls. Yao Tie protected Jingxin and frequently swung his sword to block incoming arrows. However, because his injuries were too serious, fish that occasionally slipped through the sword's light were stabbed into his back and legs mercilessly, causing the blood to flow endlessly. Seeing many masters rushing towards them, the pursuers shouted loudly from a distance: "The Qinglong Society is chasing the demon sect thieves, everyone who has nothing to do with them must get out of the way!"
?In order to relieve the disciple from danger, Miaofa, no matter what you Qinglonghui wanted to do, raised his voice and shouted: "Be calm, don't be afraid, the master is here!" After saying that, he raised his hand and threw it, and a few faint golden threads disappeared in a flash.
"Ah! Ouch!" The three men who were chasing the front were in severe pain. They almost fell off the horse in no particular order, and their heads were badly bruised. The others were afraid of trampling their companions to death, so they hurriedly reined in the reins or drove their horses away. They saw people shouting and horses neighing, and there was a chaos.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Yao Tie relaxed his mind, and the Tang sword clattered from his hands and fell to the ground. Then he fell off his horse and passed out. Jingxin screamed: "Donor Yao!" He jumped off the saddle lightly, whirling in the air like a wild goose, and landed directly next to Yao Tie. As soon as her feet touched the ground, golden light flashed in her hands, and she used the technique of pricking acupuncture points with golden needles dozens of times in an instant, as fast as lightning. After Jingxin stopped Yao Tie's bleeding, he immediately fed him two life-saving and heart-saving pills, then cut off the arrow shaft, cut out the arrowhead, and bandaged the wound. His skillful and swift movements were dizzying.
While he was busy, Miaofa finally arrived. When he saw this, he snorted coldly: "Jingxin, this person is an evil thief of the Demon Cult. Just let him fend for himself. Why waste your energy on saving him? Come with me quickly."
Jingxin didn't even raise her head, and choked up: "Master, this can't be done! The disciple was teased by evil people on the way. If it weren't for Yao Donor and the others to protect each other to the death, the disciple would not be able to come back. The so-called repayment of kindness, I can't let it happen no matter what. He died in front of his eyes." Looking at Yao Tie's wounds all over his body, his mood was agitated, and crystal tears rolled down his face.
Hearing this, Miaofa was furious. He raised his eyes to look at the group of sturdy men and horses, and said sternly: "You dare to blaspheme Buddhist disciples. Are you crazy and want to go to hell?"
The men of the Qinglong Society reorganized their formation, and one of them shouted: "Old nun, if you are wise, please hand over the little nun next to you! Otherwise, when our Protector Ni arrives and kills you, even if you kowtow and beg for mercy, it will be too late."
"What Guardian Ni? What a loud tone! Get out of here!" Du Lei, Tong Yishan, Kong Qingxia and others rushed over one after another, yelling at each other, and impatiently unsheathed their swords and waved them. Completely gaining the upper hand in terms of momentum. Those men had been in the world for a long time, and they still had good eyesight. When they saw this, they knew they couldn't do anything, so they turned their horses' heads angrily and fled away to cover them.
Dugu Yan rushed to Jingxin. Seeing Yao Tie dying, she was heartbroken and angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "Jingxin, who hurt my fourth brother? Where are the others?"
Jingxin sobbed: "We accidentally bumped into Protector Ni from the Qinglong Society on the way. He actually had evil thoughts. He tried to snatch me away and give me to some young master. Donor Yao and Donor Luo naturally refused to agree, so a conflict broke out between the two parties. . The Qinglong Society has a large number of people, and Protector Ni is very skilled in martial arts. We fought and fled, and managed to get out of the siege by luck, but Donor Luo and the others took the initiative to stay behind, so the odds are probably worse."
Dugu Yan gasped: "You mean to say that my second brother and the others are being besieged by the Qinglong Society and are fighting alone?"
Jingxin nodded and said with shame: "I am the fault of all this! If not"
How could Dugu Yan be in the mood to listen to her confession. He jumped up and grabbed Miaofa's sleeve and said: "Miaofa Master, did you hear what I just said? My fourth brother was seriously injured and the second brother's life or death is uncertain, all in order to protect your disciple. I beg Master Miaofa to take action. Help. Defeat the lecherous thieves of the Qinglong Society and save my second brother¡¯s life!¡±
Miaofa¡¯s face darkened slightly. The inner energy was all over the place, and he shook Dugu Yan's palm away and said coldly: "Miss Dugu, there is no coexistence between good and evil. What obligation do I have to save the life of a demon sect thief? Forgive me for the inconvenience of intervening in this kind of dog-eat-dog show! "
Dugu Yan¡¯s face flushed with anxiety, and he shouted: ¡°Master Tai, the reason why my second brother is in danger is to protect your apprentice from the murderous hands! How can you be so callous and ruthless, and refuse to save him even if he dies?¡±
Miao Fa scolded: "Dugu Yan, it's not your junior's turn to judge my character! If you want to persuade me, you are not qualified, unless your father personally comes forward." The voice paused, and then said: "Actually, you are not qualified to persuade me. What you took last night was the 'Baicao Qingfeng Pill', which is not toxic at all. You can leave at any time, and don't be entangled unreasonably."
Dugu Yan glanced around. Kong Qingxia, Du Lei and others had faces as cold as iron, with no intention of lending a helping hand. Their hearts felt as if they were falling into a bottomless abyss, cold to the bone. She bit her lip tightly, and a line of blood flowed down from the corner of her mouth. The pride in her heart made her unwilling to plead, so she jumped onto the mount and said loudly: "Little nun, I want to save my second brother and the others. I trust you with my life!" He clamped his legs on the horse's belly and shot out like an arrow, chasing the Qinglong Society's group. Jingxin trembled when she heard the words, and couldn't help shouting: "Wait a minute, I'll go too!" She moved her legs and used a magical technique to seal many of her acupuncture points with her hands. Jingxin cried out: "Master, please." He turned a deaf ear to the wonderful method, and his eyes did not waver at all.
The cold wind blew against Dugu Yan's face, and Dugu Yan's tears slipped down, and the feeling of loneliness that she had never felt before swept through her body. In the past, she traveledThey were cheering in front of them, and there were many expert guards around them. Now, if they had to ride alone and bravely rush into the enemy's formation, it would actually be the same as committing suicide. The Qinglong Society is known as the overlord of the northern underworld, with countless masters, and the reputation of the four great generals shocks the world. It is enough to compete with the Demon Sect. How can it be handled by her? But sitting and watching Luo Biao trapped and dead was something she could not accept at any cost. She could only burn herself like a moth to a flame and risk her life alone!
Fang ran seven or eight feet away when she suddenly heard a strange voice behind her. She looked back in shock and saw the disgusting old swordsman galloping towards him, shouting: "Little girl, I will accompany you to save people." !¡±
Dugu Yan felt hot in his heart, and his tears flowed more quickly, and he shouted: "Old senior, are you in a hurry to die? Do you know how terrible the Qinglong Society is?"
Hu Xiaotian said carelessly: "I have been in the world for decades and have never seen any storms. How can I be as cowardly as a mouse? I hate lewd thieves and perverts the most in my life. Once I encounter them, I will never let them go. Those people are even small The nuns all want to be raped and humiliated. They really deserve to be killed! But we have to talk it over beforehand. I have a price for killing people with my sword, one hundred taels per head. I will kill as many people as you pay."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Old money fan!" He took out a sachet from his arms, shook it, and said: "This is my collection of jewelry, worth at least thirty thousand taels. I want you to take it. Kill all the people from the Blue Dragon Society!"
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "Little girl, if you meet a master, the price of killing someone will be a hundred times higher."
Dugu Yan rolled his eyes in anger. But there is still a chance of luck in my heart. What if this person is a hidden master? Then the hope of turning the tide tonight can only be pinned on him! Gritting his teeth, he said: "Old senior, as long as you can rescue people safely, money is not a problem! It's a big deal. I agree to any request you make!"
Hu Xiaotian¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but beat wildly several times, and he narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Are you really asking for anything?¡±
Dugu Yan cursed in his heart: Old pervert! Holding back his shame, he said without hesitation: "Yes, any request within my ability!"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but secretly admire her courage and said with a smile: "Okay! It's a deal!"
¡°It¡¯s hard to chase a horse!¡±
The group of men in front were very alert and soon discovered that they were being followed, but after hearing a sharp whistle, five men holding bows and arrows reined in their mounts, turned around, and lined up to block the road. Wait until Hu Xiaotian and Dugu Yan enter the shooting range. The five people raised their bows and nocked arrows at the same time, using the volley of arrows. One after another, the iron arrows quickly bounced off the bowstrings and fell like a sudden rain on their heads. They shot them directly without asking for any reason.
Dugu Yan is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very good in martial arts, which was carefully taught by his father. With a flick of his wrist, the long whip came out of the hole like a poisonous dragon, and suddenly displayed his delicate and agile body in the air. Countless closely interlocking rings were drawn, and all the arrows that were shot were cut off. In her busy schedule, she glanced sideways and saw the old swordsman firing the arrow with great ease. My heart was lifted, and my confidence in rescuing Luo Biao and others suddenly increased by three points. Between a few breaths. The two of them had rushed forward dozens of feet despite the rain of arrows, and their speed did not slow down at all.
Seeing that their bows and arrows could not do anything to the opponent, the five men immediately changed their knives in their hands and suddenly shouted in unison, urging their horses to charge. But he saw the iron hooves flying, the sword shining like snow, and his murderous intent!
Dugu Yan screamed "Kill!!" The long whip penetrated the inner strength, straightened like a javelin, and thrust out first. At the same time, she unknowingly pulled out a short sword with her left hand, lowered her body, and rushed into the light of the sword without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, men and horses collided, weapons exchanged, and blood flew!
Dugu Yan rushed past, but after hearing the continuous sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him, those tough enemies screamed and fell off their horses one by one. It was obvious that they would not survive. The old swordsman's laughter came at the right time: "Little girl, five hundred taels!"
The masters of the Blue Dragon Society were obviously surprised that all their companions were killed in one encounter. The remaining ten or so people immediately changed from the rear team to the front team, forming a tight triangular formation. Cang Langlang drew his sword out of its sheath, first drove the horse to a canter, and then the horse speed became faster and faster, like a tornado whistling across the earth, the snow was bright. The blade of his sword was raised, his eyes were as ferocious as a wolf, and he had an iron-blooded momentum of charging into battle and destroying the camp! This triangular horse formation condensed the murderous intent of more than ten people. From a distance, it looked like one body and was indestructible.
After all, Dugu Yan lacked the experience of a life-and-death fight, and when he was hit by the opponent's fierce murderous intent, his heart beat like a pounding, cold sweat oozed from his palms, and his running speed immediately slowed down due to his cowardice. At this moment, a tall figure rushed in front of her with a roar, and the long sword danced out a curtain of light, like hundreds of thunderbolts exploding all at once, slashing into the cold sword light without showing any signs of weakness. middle!
"Little girl, follow me closely!"
"Yes!" Dugu Yan's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and he seemed to see in a tranceHer father's unyielding figure - as long as he was present, any violent storm would disappear - the long-lost sense of security rekindled her fighting spirit, she raised her arm and stabbed her with a long whip like a spear.
Clang! Dang Dang! The earth trembled and swords clashed.
Dugu Yan felt as if she had stopped at this moment. She could clearly see the expressions, eyes, movements and blood spurting from the wounds of each enemy. She could hear the opponent's screams, the friction of the sword cutting through muscles, The sound of the horse's snort, the sharp whistling of the wind, and the murderous aura that was as condensed as substance rushed towards his body, making every hair on his body stand on end. But the strange thing is that there seems to be something boiling and burning in the air. When you breathe it into your lungs, your chest becomes hot. Those fierce enemies and whirling swords were obviously very close to her, but they could never touch her! Because all attacks were blocked by the tall figure in front! The long sword in his hand seemed to be alive, swinging freely in the air, everywhere and at all times. Dugu Yan's heart moved. Where had he seen this sword technique as dense as a river?
The pressure suddenly disappeared, and the fire penetrated the enemy's formation!
The two tightened the reins, stopped their horses, and then turned around. I saw eight corpses falling on the ground. They were all stabbed in the throat, and blood was gushing out. A little further away, the four remaining men also turned their horses and looked at the miserable condition of their companions, with twitching eyes and gray faces.
Dugu Yan shouted proudly: "Old senior, let's kill all these thieves!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Okay!" He lightly tapped the horse's buttocks with his backhand sword and drove the horse forward.
Those men were already frightened, how could they dare to confront Hu Xiaotian? He screamed: "The wind is tight, pull!" He turned his horse's head and ran away. (To be continued.
