Chapter 184 Chase (First Update)
At dawn.
More than seventy cavalry horses escorted a carriage, making thunderous hooves, and rushed straight down a desolate dirt road down the mountain.
These more than seventy knights were all dressed in tight-fitting white clothes, wearing turbans, long swords slung across their backs, and iron rings wrapped around their arms.
Their bodies were more or less injured, and they looked like they had experienced a brutal fight.
At the front of the team of carriages and horses is a majestic and tall horse with chestnut muscles. Between its long and erect ears, a tuft of white mane is flying in the wind. It looks extremely majestic. When it gallops, its hooves seem to be flying off the ground.
The knight sitting on the horse is also dressed in white. He looks elegant and wears a turban on his head. From a distance, his posture is very extraordinary.
Suddenly, the man frowned slightly, wrapped his right hand around the black leather reins, waved back, and at the same time slowed down the horse he sat down on.
"Stop!"
He shouted lowly, the speed of the cavalry suddenly slowed down, and the carriage also slowly stopped.
"Herodus——"
Amidst a loud neighing sound, the horses stopped moving forward, and the convoy also stopped.
At this time, especially the leading horse, the divine horse, its front hooves kept tapping on the mud, as if it was roaring, and it seemed that it had discovered something.
"There is an enemy ambush!"
He shouted, and everyone in the cavalry pulled out their swords and held them in their hands. However, after a long battle, everyone was tired and tired. The swords were held in their hands, and their palms were soaked with sweat. .
At this moment, a loud and thunderous laughter rang out from the forest in front. Following the laughter, a fat figure walked over in a swaggering manner. The fat man was holding a tin staff with a shining silver light in his hand. . There was also a weird golden mask on that fat face.
"It's the mask again."
Seeing this man wearing a mask, the scholar in white couldn't help but sigh.
"It is rumored that there are twelve golden generals in Dongmi. You should also be an expert among the twelve golden generals. You people in the spiritual world, why bother to trouble a few women and children..."
"Who am I?"
The fat man laughed, and the tin stick he held tightly shook slightly, and the ring on the head of the stick vibrated, making a "tin tin" sound.
"It turns out that he is a member of the Yan family in Jucheng, Yuanshui. You, the Yan family, are also considered to be members of the cultivation world. You have stayed behind closed doors for these years, avoiding trouble and cultivating, so why bother to get involved in this disaster..."
The head of the tin staff moved violently, and a golden light spread out. The horses neighed in unison, and everyone in the motorcade was stung by the bright golden light and suffered unbearable burning pain.
"Three generations of the Xiao family have been officials, and they are full of loyal people. Xiao Si'an is my sworn brother, how could I abandon him!"
The scholar in white drew his sword and swung it, and the water vapor in the air condensed. With a stroke of his sword, a line of gray water vapor rose up. When the cold wind blew, it actually condensed into a thick ice wall, blocking the sky. Golden light.
"The water-covering sword technique in "Five Elements of Righteousness", young people are very capable!"
The fat man in the mask just smiled, and with a slight lift of the tin staff, the golden light surged violently, and the surrounding air was squeezed by the light. Invisible pressure suddenly approached, and everyone in the carriage team felt an astonishing feeling. The oppressive force came, and the body suddenly became extremely heavy.
"Dongmi's 'Pure Land Technique'?"
The scholar in white clothes was shocked and lost his mind. With a series of "click" sounds, the ice wall shattered, and thousands of golden lights burst out. Even his body was suppressed by the golden light of the pure land, and he could hardly move.
…
"Pity."
The fat man in the mask raised the tin staff in his hand, glanced at the corpses on the pillows on the ground, and sighed: "Your water-covering sword still lacks some fire. As the saying goes, 'water-covering cannot be recovered', unless your sword skills can break through the shackles and close the water." Let it go freely, otherwise it will still be difficult to break through my Pure Land Technique..."
The eyes under the golden mask coldly glanced at the body of the scholar in white. Seeing that his body was covered with a thin layer of ice, he knew that this man was extremely talented in the Water Covering Sword Technique.
"If I give you another twenty years..."
The fat man shook his head. He waved his palm and smashed the ice-sculpted scholar into ice shards. He moved and floated to the side of the carriage.
The driver who drove the carriage was also dead. His mouth and nose were bleeding, and he slipped from the carriage and fell to the ground. The fat man stretched out his thick hand to pull the car curtain and took a look at the female corpses inside.
"It's 'pretend' again. It seems that the one on my side is also a substitute!"
He took out the jade bracelet from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "The Yin position is wrong, the one who escaped is the 'bait', and there are six teams, either overt or covert, consisting of Shen, Wei, Wu, Hai, Zi, and Chou." Escape in six directions, be sure not to let go of the escaped Xiao family..."
…
In the early morning, the sun rises, and the light falls through the clouds into the dense forest, bringing a touch of warmth.
This is a sea of trees that covers hundreds of miles, and is all a dark forest. There are towering ancient trees everywhere in the mountain forest, some are thick enough to be surrounded by small ones, with various vines and thorns intertwined, and the layers of branches are intertwined with each other.
This kind of deep mountain and old forest is full of all kinds of poisonous insects, ants, snakes, miasma, and poisonous gas. Even the deepest part of the forest cannot be penetrated by sunlight. It is so quiet and airtight that no ordinary people can enter except for Taoist masters. Even if a hundred thousand troops were sent, there would be no way to seal such a huge mountain.
At this moment, there were two whooshing sounds in the dense forest, and two white shadows were flying zigzag in the forest, as fast as a wisp of sparks. During the process of traveling, they also sometimes turned in different directions, and suddenly changed strangely.
The two figures flew for a while, and one of them suddenly stopped. The figure's big sleeves bulged like a flying bird, and with the help of the force, it swept over the branches and fell to the ground.
At the same time, with a "hiss" sound, another white shadow also circled around the tree, suddenly rose up, walked on the branches, and quickly flew to the ground.
"Mingzi Tu, why did you stop?"
The moment he landed, the white figure also asked his companions.
The person who stopped first was a thin middle-aged man with a sallow complexion. He had a thin body and a sickly face, but his eyes were bright and dazzling.
"Senior Brother Cheng Kongzi, the restraint I left at the entrance to the mountain has been moved, and a powerful master is chasing me!"
"It seems that other baits have been discovered."
The speaker was a thin, slender old man with a long beard. He was already over six years old. He wore a Taoist bun with long beard and white hair. He was also wearing a linen Taoist robe. He was also carrying a sleeping woman on his back.
The old man looked at his junior brother and sighed.
"There was a flaw in our plan. We originally wanted to use a decoy substitute to hide the enemy from the enemy. The two of you took the 'Black-Popled Flying Boat' to take people away. Who knew that the enemy also sent experts to destroy the master's treasure? Alas, misfortunes never come singly. "
"Senior brother, I'm afraid there are spies among the people who came to help Xiao Yushi. If not, our plan wouldn't be so easily seen through."
The sickly man nodded. He was holding a swaddling bag in his arms, and inside it was a baby who was not yet one month old and was sleeping soundly.
"For today's plan, senior brother, we'd better split up and act separately," he glanced at the baby in his arms.
"The people in Dongmi are really cruel. As the saying goes, the harm is not harmful to the wife and children, and the crime is not harmful to the parents... Alas, no matter what, we have to leave some incense for the Xiao family. After all, when our Wanxiang Sect was in trouble, we also suffered It’s a great kindness from the Xiao family.”
"exactly."
The old man also nodded and twirled his white beard.
"Without further ado, I will take these two people away and go north. Junior brother, you also need to find another direction."
This sickly-looking man and the old man with long beard and white hair are both wearing Taoist robes. In Dayou territory, except for the Nagato monks of Suxin Tao, ordinary people would never dress up like Taoists. The clothes of these two people can be said to be very eye-catching.
The two of them were originally disciples of the "Wanxiang Sect" in Dayou. Later, Wanxiang Sect was destroyed by Zhanxiesi, and the sect moved to Daxiye Kingdom. Back then, the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect were hunted down by people from the Zhanxie Division. The ancestors of the Xiao family had saved them. Ming Zitu and his senior brother Cheng Kongzi were very grateful for the Xiao family's kindness, so they came to help the Xiao family.
The two were about to leave when they heard a gloomy voice suddenly rang.
"Who did I know? It turned out to be two young Taoist priests from the Wanxiang Sect. The people of the Wanxiang Sect don't stay in Daxiye Kingdom, live their own happy lives, and insist on going to Dayou to wade in this muddy water. Are they planning to die? !”
From an unknown corner in the dense forest, a ferocious laugh came, and sharp sound waves penetrated the skull. A squirrel on a branch nearby exploded with a pop. Countless venomous snakes appeared in the forest. , ants and insects were also bombarded by the brain-piercing magic sound, and fell from the branches one after another, like rain.
"not good!"
"He's a master!"
The two of them knew how powerful it was, and a ray of light emitted from their bodies, forming a large bubble-like crystal light cover. The next second, the two of them did not dare to stop, one headed north, the other south, flying wildly towards the distance.
Not long after Ming Zitu and Cheng Kongzi flew out, He Ping, wearing a black cloak, also flew out of the forest.
"What is the origin of this Xiao family? Even the Wanxiang Sect came to help..."
He Ping glanced at the direction the two were leaving, took out Yujue, and sent a message.
"The two Taoist priests from the Wanxiang Sect ran away with the people from the Xiao family. Bikara, you quickly go after the one in the north. I will chase and kill the one who fled to the south. After the mission is completed, come and join me here. .”
Finally, he added another sentence.
"Remember, you must cut the grass and root out the roots without being benevolent as a woman."
"yes."
A younger voice over there responded, and then the communication was cut off.
It's late. I drank wine yesterday and had a severe headache this morning. I'll make up for it today.
