Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji
Chapter 56
That's it
The fact that the war is about to start has already set Lin Jing on fire, and Shopkeeper Huang's request immediately made her feel elated: "Shopkeeper, you have a good eye." Before Le Yue had time to remind her to be cautious, Lin Jing had already slapped the table, He said boldly, "It's just General Sun, and it's on me and this Le Yue Shaoxia!"
Shopkeeper Huang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lady Xia!"
Le Yue looked at her speechlessly, girl, at least you have to wait until you find out who General Sun is before agreeing.
Luo Lingzhi on the side asked, "I just asked Shopkeeper Huang, who is General Sun?"
Shopkeeper Huang suppressed his smile, changed into a sad expression, and sighed: "General Sun, he..."
General Sun lives on a small dirt hill dozens of miles west of Shu County.
There is a black wind forest on the top of Xiaotu Mountain, and there is a cottage in the forest. General Sun and his men usually stay in the village. Whenever General Sun is short of wine or meat or when General Sun is in a bad mood, he will go to the small town of Shu County to loot.
Countless people were looted every time they searched, the shopkeeper Huang said sadly, even a handful of onions in the kitchen were not spared.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Le Yue said, "This General Sun sounds like a bandit."
Shopkeeper Huang nodded sadly, and said, General Sun is a bandit.But General Sun didn't like to hear people call him the bandit leader or the king of the mountain. He proclaimed himself a general, and the common people could only call him General Sun.
Lin Jing suddenly lost interest: "I thought the two counties were fighting and the enemy was besieging the city, but it turned out to be just a bandit. Although your county is small, there must be some defenders. The soldiers of the officers and soldiers can't even deal with the bandits?"
Shopkeeper Huang sighed again: "Heroine, you don't know something, General Sun is not an ordinary person, every time the Ma Zongbing of this county leads his troops to close the city gate and resist to the death, but..."
He had just finished speaking, when suddenly sand and rocks flew outside the window, and the wind blew violently.Shopkeeper Huang suddenly panicked: "No, Fei Xianfeng is here!"
Le Yue digs his ears, flying pioneer?What is that?The boy next to him staggered to the window, closed the window, dragged it across the table and held it firmly, and someone shouted sharply in the corridor. "It's not good, Fei Xianfeng came in—" Shopkeeper Huang walked quickly to the door, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, calm down!" Then he turned to Le Yue and the others, "Can everyone move to the door?" Downstairs in the lobby?"
Now that Lin Jing has agreed to her, she can't break her promise, and besides, the people are in danger at this time, which is the time to act chivalrously.Le Yue took the lead and walked along with Shopkeeper Huang, Zhao Yuan followed closely, Lin Jing and Luo Ling followed, Ying Ze grabbed two handfuls of pine nut almond cakes and put them into his sleeves, with a face like I was just going Watching the lively look followed at the end.Lin Jing poked Le Yue's back, and whispered: "Hey, Wo just heard a monster in the wind, Fei Xianfeng might be a little monster."
A dozen or so people have gathered in the lobby on the first floor, tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, and children, all sitting at the table, holding weapons. They should be quack guests invited out temporarily by shopkeeper Huang and the boys.
Le Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi and Ying Ze also found a table to sit. In the whole hall, they looked the youngest. Some take it for granted.Shopkeeper Huang stood in the center of the lobby, cupped his hands and said, "The safety of the shop and the rest of the customers in the shop depends on you today, thank you for your willingness to help."
The strong wind blew sand and rocks and knocked on the doors, windows and walls. A thin, short-bearded middle-aged man at Le Yue's table said: "The shopkeeper is too polite. If you can't stop these bandits, I'll be robbed too. This is my job." .” He looked calm, but his hands kept pressing on the handles of a pair of short knives in front of him.
Sitting against the corner was an old man dressed as a fortune teller. He placed the copper coins on the table and murmured: "Looking at the hexagram, but it is extraordinary. It is a strange appearance. Great evil, great evil."
A beautiful woman in apricot clothes at the table next to the old man chuckled and said, "Old man, before the bandits arrived, you started scaring your own people. Don't you think the bandits who robbed were after monsters?"
The rest of the people followed suit, and the young man in brocade shirt next to the beautiful woman said: "Auntie, maybe what the old man said is right, just now I heard someone calling flying pioneers, I think they are flying in the sky, isn't that a monster?"
Everyone in the hall laughed again, but shopkeeper Huang said solemnly: "The old man is really a master, Fei Xianfeng is indeed a monster—" just halfway through the word monster, there was a bang, and a window facing the street was suddenly smashed open. , the wind blows in suddenly, the beautiful woman in apricot clothes raises her hand, counting the cold light and shooting out after the copper coins on the fortune teller's table, only to hear a few screams, strange and shrill, it seems...not human the sound of.
Le Yue and Lin Jing jumped up and rushed to the window together with the others. Mrs. Xingyi covered her mouth with her sleeve, and exclaimed ah.On the ground under the window, there were two black clumps struggling, wearing rattan armor and a rattan helmet, covered with short yellowish-brown hair, covering their faces with their front paws and screaming sharply. They turned out to be two monkeys!
There was the sound of flapping wings in the strong wind, and several black shadows rushed down from the sky. The short-bearded man beside Le Yue took a step back and murmured, "Monkey, the monkey..."
Those black shadows are also monkeys wearing rattan armor and rattan helmets. Behind the monkeys are actually a pair of bat-like leather wings, flapping in the strong wind, with blood-red eyes open, teeth bared, and sharp front paws facing Straight through the window.
Luo Lingzhi frowned slightly: "So there are winged monkeys here."
Le Yue wondered: "What is..." Before he said it, a few flying monkeys had rushed to the window, scratching their claws fiercely, and Lin Jing raised her hand: "Oh, it's just a small character."
With her regretful sigh, several flying monkeys flew upside down into the distance like a few stones ejected from a slingshot.
Lin Jing's appearance was already extremely beautiful in the eyes of ordinary people, and if she used such a trick lightly, the rest of the people in the lobby couldn't help but look at her, as if she had become a wooden sculpture in the blink of an eye.
Le Yue continued to finish the question just now: "What is a winged monkey?"
Luo Lingzhi said: "It is recorded in "The Record of Strange Things in the Four Seas" that there are monsters in the southwest mountain forest, which look like apes, with fleshy wings from their ribs, so they are called winged monkeys. They are deceitful and cruel in nature. It should refer to this kind of monkeys."
Le Yue scratched the back of his head: "It's really weird for a monkey with wings to be a bandit. Could it be that General Sun is a big horse monkey?"
Shopkeeper Huang shook his head: "General Sun is indeed a human being, and these flying monster monkeys obey his orders."
Shopkeeper Huang said, General Sun's name is Sun Ben, he is a strange man who can command winged monkeys, no one knows where he came from.More than a year ago, Sun Ben suddenly appeared in Nanjun, took a big monkey with two wings to meet King Dingnan, recommended himself into King Dingnan's barracks, and said that he had mastered profound methods, could fly like sand and walk stones, and control monsters.It just so happened that King Dingnan was most annoyed by the person who said that ghosts and gods practiced mysteries. After reading his self-recommendation letter, he replied two words and disappeared.Sun Ben squatted alone at the gate of the palace for several days, but he still failed to impress King Dingnan, so he left in grief and anger, and became a bandit on Xiaotu Mountain next to Shu County.
Shu County was harassed several times by Sun Ben's gang of bandits and winged monkeys. The magistrate and the commander-in-chief once went to King Dingnan to ask for reinforcements with scars all over their bodies scratched by monkeys, and wrote countless letters of blood and tears. All letters of appeal for help were rejected by King Dingnan.
King Dingnan didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and of course he didn't believe that there were monsters in this world. The theory of winged monkeys was dismissed by him as nonsense. King Dingnan firmly believed that it was just an ordinary wild monkey, so he replied: "With the soldiers of a county, Even hundreds of mountain bandits and a few monkeys can't resist them. What's the use of paying taxes to the common people and enshrining them from the court?" He has always ruled strictly, so he ordered the general soldiers to reflect on themselves, strictly train their troops, suppress bandits, and eliminate If the monkey suffers, he will be dismissed from office.He Zongbing, the county magistrate, was afraid of losing his official position, so he dared not ask for help anymore.
Shopkeeper Huang sighed and said, "My lord is a good lord, but it's a pity that there are some places..."
Le Yue thought in his heart that Du Ruyuan's father did something wrong in this matter. Even if he didn't believe it, he should send some soldiers over to check it out. He thought he was training his subordinates, but he didn't know that it was the common people who ignored him and suffered.
Luo Lingzhi said: "Those who are in a superior position should accept the words widely, and make decisions based on observation. You can't just listen to what you hear, think about what you hear, don't ask what you want, don't ask what you want. It's inappropriate for King Dingnan to do this."
Zhao Yuan was a little dizzy when he heard it, but he felt it made sense.Lin Jing stood by the window, playing casually with the winged monkey that kept pounced on, and curled her lips: "The words are polite, those who didn't know thought you were stunned by Du Shu."
Luo Lingzhi just smiled faintly.
At this time, the window suddenly became dark, and the young man in brocade shirt said tremblingly: "Come... here comes the big one."
Le Yue and Zhao Yuan turned their heads and saw a black shadow covering the sky above the county seat, but it was not a dark cloud, but a huge winged monkey.Clusters of small winged monkeys circled under the wings of this big winged monkey, squeaking and sticking out their tongues to make faces.The two lantern-sized red eyes of the great winged monkey seemed to spew flames, beat its chest with its forelimbs, roared loudly, and immediately flew sand to cover the sky.
Zhao Yuan couldn't help clenching his front paws tightly, presumably, this is the Flying Pioneer.
The big winged monkey's blood-red eyes were looking at the direction of the inn. It raised its fist and beat its chest again. It roared loudly again, and the house and the ground seemed to vibrate under its roar.
Lin Jing smiled and said: "This one is interesting. A little hairy monkey dares to let me go out to fight to the death. Well, I will play with you." She clapped her hands and was about to fly out of the window. The young man in brocade clothes held her sleeve tightly: "Girl, no!"
Lin Jing frowned impatiently, and the young man grabbed her arm tightly: "Girl, this monster is very important, you can't touch it head-on."
Le Yue said leisurely from the side: "Brother, I advise you not to stop her, just let her go." If you offend Qilin girl in a hurry, take a breath, the big winged monkey has ready-made roasted food for you to eat .
The young man glared at Le Yue angrily, and scolded: "Let a girl go to die, but you stand by and watch, you are not a man!" Before he finished speaking, his hands went numb, and Lin Jing shook him away.
Lin Jing pulled out the soft whip from her waist, and was about to fly out, but her feet tripped, and then she seemed to be nailed to the ground by something, and she couldn't lift it up again.Lin Jing frowned in surprise, and Ying Ze, who had been sitting at the table eating snacks, stood up slowly: "This monkey is not a demon, but a demon, please wait for me to come for a while."
Lin Jing raised her willow eyebrows and stared at him: "You did something good? Why should you fight me!"
Ying Ze looked up to the sky with his hands behind his back, his face full of loneliness: "I haven't seen a demon for many years."
Lin Jing said viciously: "You haven't seen me for many years, so I will let you go? What kind of reason? I fought for a long time, and finally a big monster came, and you plotted against me to snatch it, it's too shameless!"
Ever since she couldn't enjoy the battle with Fengtong in the Qingshan faction, Lin Jing has been very depressed, and she hasn't met any big monsters along the way, so that she can beat her to vent.Finally seeing a monkey that is at least relatively big today is really precious to Lin Jing, and she will defend it to the death.
Ying Ze proudly said: "I like it."
Lin Jing sneered: "If you like it, it's yours? It's just me beating a little monkey to attract it, it's mine!"
Ying Ze said: "This seat."
Lin Jing stretched out her arms to block the window: "Mine."
Le Yue Zhaoyuan and Luo Lingzhi were watching the battle, quite speechless.The rest of the quacks and shopkeeper Huang have long been fooled.
The great winged monkey beat its chest in mid-air for a long time, but there was no response. It bared its teeth and grinned fiercely, and its huge monkey paws scratched at the inn with the howling wind.
Seeing that Lin Jing and Ying Ze were still confronting each other, Zhao Yuan subconsciously raised his hand, gathered the magic power of the Dragon Ball in his stomach and pushed it out forcefully.
A golden light emanated from its palm, quite bright, and merged into a light shield, blocking the mighty paws of the great winged monkey.
All eyes turned to Zhao Yuan.
It pushed the light shield hard and desperately against the monkey's paw, and sweat dripped from its forehead.The whole body gradually began to tremble, it clenched its teeth, and still pressed against it with all its strength.
Le Yue looked at it with disbelief, and Lin Jing also forgot to argue with Ying Ze, and exclaimed, "You have made progress."
Le Yue nodded, compared to the day when he could only spit out small fireballs, it was a great improvement.
Strength and mana are losing bit by bit, Zhao Yuan's eyes are a little blurry, the big winged monkey squeaks, and the other monkey paw is also scratched off, Zhao Yuan struggles to muster the last mana and strength, arms Still limp, its body was bounced back heavily—it felt as if its back hit a soft cloud, and the cloud supported it to stand lightly and firmly on the ground.Ying Ze swished past it and floated out of the window.
Lin Jing glared at him angrily, gritted her teeth bitterly.As soon as Ying Ze stepped out of the window, the gust of wind stopped suddenly. The big winged monkey narrowed its red eyes and scratched its cheek with its front paws. It felt an invisible oppression, which was very wrong.Ying Ze put his hands behind his back, posing in the usual coquettish posture, rising from the ground to the air little by little, from his hair to his sleeves, completely motionless.
As soon as it reached the height of the roof, the great winged monkey rubbed its eyes with its paws, then suddenly shook twice, and with a squeak, its body became countless times smaller, its two front paws hugged its head, turned around and ran, its wings fanned desperately, The winged monkeys followed behind it, like a puff of wolf smoke behind a carriage, it instantly turned into a faint black spot on the horizon, and finally disappeared.
Ying Ze fell down lonely, got into the window lonely, and returned to the desk lonely.
Lin Jing's feet were finally able to move, she stomped her feet and slapped the table hard: "Run away, you pay me!"
Ying Ze took a lonely bite of the pine nut almond cake, pointed out, and said concisely: "Go after it."
Zhao Yuan wiped the sweat off his forehead, just now Le Yue patted it on the shoulder and praised it, it was very happy.It knows that it is far behind Lin Jing, and even more incomparable with Ying Ze, but this time it can finally help, even if it is only a little, it is better than before.
It's just that the people next to them looked at them straightly, as if they were a group of big monsters stranger than Fei Pioneer.
After a while, shopkeeper Huang cupped his hands: "You guys are really hiding something."
Le Yue laughed dryly: "It's okay, okay, cough, well, it just so happens that a group of monkeys came here today, and we happen to know some secret skills to repel monkeys."
Shopkeeper Huang was thoughtful: "So that's the case, but this little brother just showed his hands, and that little young hero was able to lift off the ground..."
Le Yue said: "Hey, um, we..." We should try our best to keep a low profile when walking in the rivers and lakes, but after the matter of retreating from Fei Pioneer just now, it is really hard not to be noticed.
An old voice by the wall said hoarsely: "A disciple of the Qingxuan sect, his reputation is well-deserved." The old man who used copper coins to tell his fortune took a step forward, squinting at Luo Lingzhi, "Young man, you just mentioned "The Strange Record of the Four Seas" It was written by Elder Qingyao of the Qingxuan Sect hundreds of years ago, and only the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect can read it. Since several of them are from the Qingxuan Sect, it is not surprising to see what happened just now."
The Qingxuan Sect has been the number one Xuandao sect in the world for many years. In addition, the new crown prince He Zhen has recently appeared, and the reputation has become more prosperous. Rumors in the world often exaggerate the mystery of the Qingxuan Sect. When the old man said what he said, the rest of the people suddenly looked at them differently .
Shopkeeper Huang clasped his hands again and said, "It turns out that they are disciples of the Qingxuan School, the number one school in the world. No wonder the young heroes are all outstanding talents with extraordinary skills. I'm disrespectful."
The rest of the people followed suit, praising that the Qingxuan School is worthy of its name and has produced a large number of talents.
It was very unpleasant for Le Yue to hear it. Although he had to keep a low profile when walking in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't make a name for Chonghuazi Laoer and the Qingxuan faction in vain.
He shook his hands: "Everyone, I'm honored. I'm not from the Qingxuan sect, but just a knight-errant."
Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile: "Why should the young man be overly modest?" He just thought it was a cover-up on purpose.
Le Yue didn't bother to tell the difference, so he just said: "It's really not."
Shopkeeper Huang was about to continue his praise, so Luo Lingzhi interjected, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, every time General Sun enters the city to plunder, does the flying vanguard take the lead, retreating the officers and soldiers first, opening the city gate, and then the bandits follow in?" City looting?"
Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said yes.
Luo Lingzhi said to Le Yue: "Brother Yue, I think that although the winged monkeys have retreated, the bandits may have already entered the city. I'd better go out and have a look."
At the critical moment, Luo Lingzhi was still thoughtful.Le Yue suddenly realized.So he went out through the window first, Luo Lingzhi and Zhao Yuan followed behind him.Lin Jing and Ying Ze followed, and even those quacks followed.
The street was still empty, not a single person was there.Every door and every window was tightly closed, and some were scratched by winged monkeys smashed by rocks and sand, and they were blocked with tables and chairs.
Le Yue walked to the center of the street, looked around, and thought about where to go.
The beautiful woman in Xingyi said: "Otherwise, let's split up. There is an intersection ahead, which happens to be in four directions, south, east, north, and south. Let's go to each direction a few people."
The middle-aged man with short beard holding a short knife said: "Second Madam's suggestion is very good." Others also agreed.The second lady took out a few bamboo tubes from her sleeve and distributed them to everyone. It turned out that the bamboo tubes were fireworks for message transmission. If the party you were going to needed reinforcements, they would light up the fireworks signal.If there is nothing wrong, we will go back to the inn to meet up.
Le Yue and others chose the street heading north, and separated from the other three groups at the intersection.Le Yue raised the pyrotechnic tube given by the second wife to his eyes and turned it around, and saw a line of small characters engraved on it, Nangong Firearms Hall.
It turned out that the second lady and the boy in brocade clothes were from the Nangong family, a famous martial arts school.Unexpectedly, the people of the Nangong family were so simple when walking around the rivers and lakes, without tall horses, soft sedans, luxury cars, and groups of servants.
The behavior of rich people is always unexpected.
Le Yue put the pyrotechnic tube in his arms and continued on his way.After walking through a street or two, there was a faint sound of fighting ahead.Le Yue took the lead and walked forward quickly, and the sound of fighting became more and more clear. Near the city gate, there were government servants and soldiers fighting fiercely with a group of bandits with knives.
Le Yue drew out the long sword at his waist and rushed forward, and Luo Lingzhi followed suit.
The Yamen soldiers and bandits didn't know which side they came to help, and they stopped at the same time.Le Yue's long sword picked up a few big knives and kicked the two bandits away.Luo Lingzhi stunned a bandit with his backhand, grabbed a spear, tripped down, and tripped another bandit. Only then did the officers and soldiers realize that they were coming for reinforcements.
Most of these bandits were idlers and hooligans from nearby cities. They thought it was much easier to be a bandit than a farmer, so they went up the mountain to seek refuge with Sun Ben.Le Yue and Luo Lingzhi are more than enough to deal with them.Zhaoyuan and Linjing Yingze stood aside and watched from a distance.A bandit swung a big knife and tried to attack Le Yue from behind. Zhao Yuan and Lin Jing shouted at the same time: "Le Yue be careful!" Zhao Yuan subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but Lin Jing stretched out her hand to stop him.
The fact that the war is about to start has already set Lin Jing on fire, and Shopkeeper Huang's request immediately made her feel elated: "Shopkeeper, you have a good eye." Before Le Yue had time to remind her to be cautious, Lin Jing had already slapped the table, He said boldly, "It's just General Sun, and it's on me and this Le Yue Shaoxia!"
Shopkeeper Huang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lady Xia!"
Le Yue looked at her speechlessly, girl, at least you have to wait until you find out who General Sun is before agreeing.
Luo Lingzhi on the side asked, "I just asked Shopkeeper Huang, who is General Sun?"
Shopkeeper Huang suppressed his smile, changed into a sad expression, and sighed: "General Sun, he..."
General Sun lives on a small dirt hill dozens of miles west of Shu County.
There is a black wind forest on the top of Xiaotu Mountain, and there is a cottage in the forest. General Sun and his men usually stay in the village. Whenever General Sun is short of wine or meat or when General Sun is in a bad mood, he will go to the small town of Shu County to loot.
Countless people were looted every time they searched, the shopkeeper Huang said sadly, even a handful of onions in the kitchen were not spared.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Le Yue said, "This General Sun sounds like a bandit."
Shopkeeper Huang nodded sadly, and said, General Sun is a bandit.But General Sun didn't like to hear people call him the bandit leader or the king of the mountain. He proclaimed himself a general, and the common people could only call him General Sun.
Lin Jing suddenly lost interest: "I thought the two counties were fighting and the enemy was besieging the city, but it turned out to be just a bandit. Although your county is small, there must be some defenders. The soldiers of the officers and soldiers can't even deal with the bandits?"

He had just finished speaking, when suddenly sand and rocks flew outside the window, and the wind blew violently.Shopkeeper Huang suddenly panicked: "No, Fei Xianfeng is here!"

"It's not good, Fei Xianfeng came in—" Shopkeeper Huang walked quickly to the door, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, calm down!" Then he turned to Le Yue and the others, "Can everyone move to the door?" Downstairs in the lobby?"
Now that Lin Jing has agreed to her, she can't break her promise, and besides, the people are in danger at this time, which is the time to act chivalrously.Le Yue took the lead and walked along with Shopkeeper Huang, Zhao Yuan followed closely, Lin Jing and Luo Ling followed, Ying Ze grabbed two handfuls of pine nut almond cakes and put them into his sleeves, with a face like I was just going Watching the lively look followed at the end.Lin Jing poked Le Yue's back, and whispered: "Hey, Wo just heard a monster in the wind, Fei Xianfeng might be a little monster."
A dozen or so people have gathered in the lobby on the first floor, tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, and children, all sitting at the table, holding weapons. They should be quack guests invited out temporarily by shopkeeper Huang and the boys.
Le Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi and Ying Ze also found a table to sit. In the whole hall, they looked the youngest. Some take it for granted.Shopkeeper Huang stood in the center of the lobby, cupped his hands and said, "The safety of the shop and the rest of the customers in the shop depends on you today, thank you for your willingness to help."

Zhao Yuan was a little dizzy when he heard it, but he felt it made sense.Lin Jing stood by the window, playing casually with the winged monkey that kept pounced on, and curled her lips: "The words are polite, those who didn't know thought you were stunned by Du Shu."
Luo Lingzhi just smiled faintly.
At this time, the window suddenly became dark, and the young man in brocade shirt said tremblingly: "Come... here comes the big one."
Le Yue and Zhao Yuan turned their heads and saw a black shadow covering the sky above the county seat, but it was not a dark cloud, but a huge winged monkey.Clusters of small winged monkeys circled under the wings of this big winged monkey, squeaking and sticking out their tongues to make faces.The two lantern-sized red eyes of the great winged monkey seemed to spew flames, beat its chest with its forelimbs, roared loudly, and immediately flew sand to cover the sky.

Le Yue said leisurely from the side: "Brother, I advise you not to stop her, just let her go." If you offend Qilin girl in a hurry, take a breath, the big winged monkey has ready-made roasted food for you to eat .
The young man glared at Le Yue angrily, and scolded: "Let a girl go to die, but you stand by and watch, you are not a man!" Before he finished speaking, his hands went numb, and Lin Jing shook him away.
Lin Jing pulled out the soft whip from her waist, and was about to fly out, but her feet tripped, and then she seemed to be nailed to the ground by something, and she couldn't lift it up again.Lin Jing frowned in surprise, and Ying Ze, who had been sitting at the table eating snacks, stood up slowly: "This monkey is not a demon, but a demon, please wait for me to come for a while."
Lin Jing raised her willow eyebrows and stared at him: "You did something good? Why should you fight me!"
Ying Ze looked up to the sky with his hands behind his back, his face full of loneliness: "I haven't seen a demon for many years."
Lin Jing said viciously: "You haven't seen me for many years, so I will let you go? What kind of reason? I fought for a long time, and finally a big monster came, and you plotted against me to snatch it, it's too shameless!"
Ever since she couldn't enjoy the battle with Fengtong in the Qingshan faction, Lin Jing has been very depressed, and she hasn't met any big monsters along the way, so that she can beat her to vent.Finally seeing a monkey that is at least relatively big today is really precious to Lin Jing, and she will defend it to the death.
Ying Ze proudly said: "I like it."
Lin Jing sneered: "If you like it, it's yours? It's just me beating a little monkey to attract it, it's mine!"
Ying Ze said: "This seat."
Lin Jing stretched out her arms to block the window: "Mine."
Le Yue Zhaoyuan and Luo Lingzhi were watching the battle, quite speechless.The rest of the quacks and shopkeeper Huang have long been fooled.
The great winged monkey beat its chest in mid-air for a long time, but there was no response. It bared its teeth and grinned fiercely, and its huge monkey paws scratched at the inn with the howling wind.
Seeing that Lin Jing and Ying Ze were still confronting each other, Zhao Yuan subconsciously raised his hand, gathered the magic power of the Dragon Ball in his stomach and pushed it out forcefully.
A golden light emanated from its palm, quite bright, and merged into a light shield, blocking the mighty paws of the great winged monkey.
All eyes turned to Zhao Yuan.
It pushed the light shield hard and desperately against the monkey's paw, and sweat dripped from its forehead.The whole body gradually began to tremble, it clenched its teeth, and still pressed against it with all its strength.
Le Yue looked at it with disbelief, and Lin Jing also forgot to argue with Ying Ze, and exclaimed, "You have made progress."
Le Yue nodded, compared to the day when he could only spit out small fireballs, it was a great improvement.
Strength and mana are losing bit by bit, Zhao Yuan's eyes are a little blurry, the big winged monkey squeaks, and the other monkey paw is also scratched off, Zhao Yuan struggles to muster the last mana and strength, arms Still limp, its body was bounced back heavily—it felt as if its back hit a soft cloud, and the cloud supported it to stand lightly and firmly on the ground.Ying Ze swished past it and floated out of the window.
Lin Jing glared at him angrily, gritted her teeth bitterly.As soon as Ying Ze stepped out of the window, the gust of wind stopped suddenly. The big winged monkey narrowed its red eyes and scratched its cheek with its front paws. It felt an invisible oppression, which was very wrong.Ying Ze put his hands behind his back, posing in the usual coquettish posture, rising from the ground to the air little by little, from his hair to his sleeves, completely motionless.
As soon as it reached the height of the roof, the great winged monkey rubbed its eyes with its paws, then suddenly shook twice, and with a squeak, its body became countless times smaller, its two front paws hugged its head, turned around and ran, its wings fanned desperately, The winged monkeys followed behind it, like a puff of wolf smoke behind a carriage, it instantly turned into a faint black spot on the horizon, and finally disappeared.
Ying Ze fell down lonely, got into the window lonely, and returned to the desk lonely.
Lin Jing's feet were finally able to move, she stomped her feet and slapped the table hard: "Run away, you pay me!"
Ying Ze took a lonely bite of the pine nut almond cake, pointed out, and said concisely: "Go after it."
Zhao Yuan wiped the sweat off his forehead, just now Le Yue patted it on the shoulder and praised it, it was very happy.It knows that it is far behind Lin Jing, and even more incomparable with Ying Ze, but this time it can finally help, even if it is only a little, it is better than before.
It's just that the people next to them looked at them straightly, as if they were a group of big monsters stranger than Fei Pioneer.
After a while, shopkeeper Huang cupped his hands: "You guys are really hiding something."
Le Yue laughed dryly: "It's okay, okay, cough, well, it just so happens that a group of monkeys came here today, and we happen to know some secret skills to repel monkeys."
Shopkeeper Huang was thoughtful: "So that's the case, but this little brother just showed his hands, and that little young hero was able to lift off the ground..."
Le Yue said: "Hey, um, we..." We should try our best to keep a low profile when walking in the rivers and lakes, but after the matter of retreating from Fei Pioneer just now, it is really hard not to be noticed.
An old voice by the wall said hoarsely: "A disciple of the Qingxuan sect, his reputation is well-deserved." The old man who used copper coins to tell his fortune took a step forward, squinting at Luo Lingzhi, "Young man, you just mentioned "The Strange Record of the Four Seas" It was written by Elder Qingyao of the Qingxuan Sect hundreds of years ago, and only the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect can read it. Since several of them are from the Qingxuan Sect, it is not surprising to see what happened just now."
The Qingxuan Sect has been the number one Xuandao sect in the world for many years. In addition, the new crown prince He Zhen has recently appeared, and the reputation has become more prosperous. Rumors in the world often exaggerate the mystery of the Qingxuan Sect. When the old man said what he said, the rest of the people suddenly looked at them differently .
Shopkeeper Huang clasped his hands again and said, "It turns out that they are disciples of the Qingxuan School, the number one school in the world. No wonder the young heroes are all outstanding talents with extraordinary skills. I'm disrespectful."
The rest of the people followed suit, praising that the Qingxuan School is worthy of its name and has produced a large number of talents.
It was very unpleasant for Le Yue to hear it. Although he had to keep a low profile when walking in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't make a name for Chonghuazi Laoer and the Qingxuan faction in vain.
He shook his hands: "Everyone, I'm honored. I'm not from the Qingxuan sect, but just a knight-errant."
Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile: "Why should the young man be overly modest?" He just thought it was a cover-up on purpose.
Le Yue didn't bother to tell the difference, so he just said: "It's really not."
Shopkeeper Huang was about to continue his praise, so Luo Lingzhi interjected, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, every time General Sun enters the city to plunder, does the flying vanguard take the lead, retreating the officers and soldiers first, opening the city gate, and then the bandits follow in?" City looting?"
Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said yes.
Luo Lingzhi said to Le Yue: "Brother Yue, I think that although the winged monkeys have retreated, the bandits may have already entered the city. I'd better go out and have a look."
At the critical moment, Luo Lingzhi was still thoughtful.Le Yue suddenly realized.So he went out through the window first, Luo Lingzhi and Zhao Yuan followed behind him.Lin Jing and Ying Ze followed, and even those quacks followed.
The street was still empty, not a single person was there.Every door and every window was tightly closed, and some were scratched by winged monkeys smashed by rocks and sand, and they were blocked with tables and chairs.
Le Yue walked to the center of the street, looked around, and thought about where to go.
The beautiful woman in Xingyi said: "Otherwise, let's split up. There is an intersection ahead, which happens to be in four directions, south, east, north, and south. Let's go to each direction a few people."
The middle-aged man with short beard holding a short knife said: "Second Madam's suggestion is very good." Others also agreed.The second lady took out a few bamboo tubes from her sleeve and distributed them to everyone. It turned out that the bamboo tubes were fireworks for message transmission. If the party you were going to needed reinforcements, they would light up the fireworks signal.If there is nothing wrong, we will go back to the inn to meet up.
Le Yue and others chose the street heading north, and separated from the other three groups at the intersection.Le Yue raised the pyrotechnic tube given by the second wife to his eyes and turned it around, and saw a line of small characters engraved on it, Nangong Firearms Hall.
It turned out that the second lady and the boy in brocade clothes were from the Nangong family, a famous martial arts school.Unexpectedly, the people of the Nangong family were so simple when walking around the rivers and lakes, without tall horses, soft sedans, luxury cars, and groups of servants.
The behavior of rich people is always unexpected.
Le Yue put the pyrotechnic tube in his arms and continued on his way.After walking through a street or two, there was a faint sound of fighting ahead.Le Yue took the lead and walked forward quickly, and the sound of fighting became more and more clear. Near the city gate, there were government servants and soldiers fighting fiercely with a group of bandits with knives.
Le Yue drew out the long sword at his waist and rushed forward, and Luo Lingzhi followed suit.
The Yamen soldiers and bandits didn't know which side they came to help, and they stopped at the same time.Le Yue's long sword picked up a few big knives and kicked the two bandits away.Luo Lingzhi stunned a bandit with his backhand, grabbed a spear, tripped down, and tripped another bandit. Only then did the officers and soldiers realize that they were coming for reinforcements.
Most of these bandits were idlers and hooligans from nearby cities. They thought it was much easier to be a bandit than a farmer, so they went up the mountain to seek refuge with Sun Ben.Le Yue and Luo Lingzhi are more than enough to deal with them.Zhaoyuan and Linjing Yingze stood aside and watched from a distance.A bandit swung a big knife and tried to attack Le Yue from behind. Zhao Yuan and Lin Jing shouted at the same time: "Le Yue be careful!" Zhao Yuan subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but Lin Jing stretched out her hand to stop him.
