Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 50: Attacked
The three of them were dressed like Taoist priests, which made people feel good. The three of them spoke in a low voice, which should be intentional, but it could not be hidden from Lin Yi's hearing.
The older Taoist priest had a long and steady breath, which should be a good internal skill. His two apprentices were also good at fighting. These three masters and apprentices must have a history.
Lin Yi was thinking in his heart, and when he saw Jin Ke coming over, he pretended not to know and picked up the tea bowl.
"Junior Sister Xu, have you eaten enough? Have you eaten well?"
Jin Ke came over with a full and satisfied look, shaking his arms. His green face had turned back to earth yellow, staring at Xu Yue's pink neck, and his eyes were also full of peach.
Xu Yue looked shy for a while, stood up and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Jin!"
"Have Brother Jiang and Brother Dai eaten well?" Jin Ke laughed at the two again, his eyes never leaving Xu Yue. The latter also nodded and greeted him. Only Lin Yi sat still with a tea bowl in his hand, his face calm, looking arrogant.
Jin Ke glanced at Lin Yi, and couldn't help getting angry, but he seemed to have some reservations. He sneered and sneered, "Country bumpkin, let's wait and see!"
After everyone finished eating and drinking, Butler Mu took out some change to settle the bill and asked everyone to set off.
Perhaps because of his poor riding skills, Lin Yi still walked at the end. Everyone was used to this.
No one knew that Lin Yi, who was pretending to ride on a horse, was thinking about the Taoist priests just now.
The Taoist master and his apprentice had already left. What did these people come to Tianlong Sect for? This trip was a side trip, why did they leave in a hurry! The three people left in a strange way just now!
I don't know when, Lin Yi always likes to think about random things. On weekdays, except for practicing martial arts and entering meditation, as long as his mind is a little free, he always habitually thinks about it. As more people and things are encountered, more thoughts, feelings and understandings are gained.
Gradually, when Lin Yi is alone, his figure becomes more lonely, and his eyes become more erratic. There seem to be different landscapes in his eyes. However, Lin Yi is more like a silly boy.
In a person's life, as long as the road under his feet does not stop, his growth and change will not stop. Naturally, there are unknown dangers and ups and downs walking side by side.
Ten horses trotted all the way, and in a blink of an eye, they walked five or six miles. Suddenly, Lin Yi, who was at the back of the hall, had a condensed face, his eyes showed alertness, but he sighed and shook his head slightly. If he called everyone to warn them at this time, why would they believe him? Can he still join the Tianlong Sect?
He hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Brother Jiang, Brother Dai, Miss Xu, wait for me!".
Hearing the voice, the three people said that Lin Yi's riding skills were not good, so they slowed down their horses and opened a distance from the people in front.
Before the three of them could ask Lin Yi what was going on, a series of bowstring sounds suddenly sounded in front of them.
In an instant, the neighing of horses and the scolding of people were mixed together.
Several people hurriedly tightened the reins, stopped their steps, and looked forward with horror.
The horses of the six people in front all fell to the ground and neighed continuously, with fine steel arrows stuck in their horses. I don’t know when a dozen masked men emerged from both sides of the road, surrounding Mu Qing’er and the six people of Mu Guanjia.
Several black-clothed men raised their arms, and there were "bang bang" sounds again, and screams rose in the field.
Two escorts were shot in the legs and fell to the ground.
Mu Guanjia had an arrow stuck in his left arm, bloody, and staggering. Jin Ke held a long sword that he didn’t know where he came from, sweating coldly, and his face was sallow.
Mu Qing’er and Senior Sister stood side by side, their faces full of anger!
Jiang Fangdi was shocked and took a deep breath. His eyes were wide open, veins on his neck were bulging, and he was about to drive his horse to rush in to save people.
Lin Yi saw this and thought it was not good. The six people in front had weapons, but they were surrounded in the middle. The remaining four people, except himself, were unarmed. Regardless of their martial arts, the masked men on the opposite side were all very strong, and rushing in now might not be a good thing.
He was about to make a move to stop them...
"Stop right there, you stinky boy, get out of here, or you can spare your life!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out from the opposite side, sonorous and powerful, revealing unquestionable arrogance and domineering, which made Jiang Fangdi hesitate.
"Hmph! I only want Mu Qing'er, the rest of you put down your weapons obediently, or you will die!" The speaker was a skinny masked man, and judging from the voice, he seemed to be an old man.
"Bah! Who are you? How dare you pick a fight at the foot of my Tianlong Sect? Are you really brave!" Mu Qing'er held a short sword, her eyebrows were raised in anger, and she was full of heroic spirit under the stern shouting. As expected of the daughter of the head of the sect, she was extraordinary.
"Haha! Little girl, what's so strange about being brave? I have really eaten it before. Put down your weapons obediently, and I will guarantee that you will be safe!" The masked man sneered and laughed. He was determined to get Mu Qing'er. This time, he got the little girl in his hand, and he was afraid that Mu Tiancheng would not surrender obediently?
The masked man didn't care about the young people in Jiang Fangdi at all. After a long time of careful planning, it seems that the great success will be achieved today. This little girl can't fly away.
"Humph! If you dare to touch my lady, you must pass this level of my old man!"
Butler Mu didn't care about the arrow wound on his arm, and his body jumped high. He waved his right hand, and a long sword stabbed the masked man as fast as lightning.
Seeing that Butler Mu was as fierce as a tiger and his sword was fierce, the masked man shouted in a deep voice: "Come on!"
He moved his feet, jumped up suddenly, and slapped Butler Mu with one hand.
Seeing Butler Mu's long sword reaching his chest, the masked man was not in a hurry, and his palm turned halfway and slapped the sword.
The long sword deviated outward with a "hum", and the sword's momentum missed.
Before the opponent's sword could retreat, the masked man struck out with his palm.
Seeing that the opponent was empty-handed, Butler Mu thought he could block this person and let the young lady escape by relying on the sharpness of his sword and his strong martial arts. He and the Mu family are both prosperous and devastated, and he also has a grandson behind him. When the situation was critical, he naturally had to fight tooth and nail.
Unexpectedly, this masked man's martial arts skills were so superb that he was not the enemy of Yihe.
The long sword had no time to retreat, but Butler gritted his teeth and used his left palm to protect his chest.
"Bang-kala-"
The palm that cracked the stone struck the steward hard on the chest, and then there was a sound of the sternum breaking. He spurted a mouthful of blood into the air and flew backwards.
"Wood Butler..."
"Grandpa..."
Mu Qing'er exclaimed.
Jin Ke had already run up and hurriedly supported Mu Guanjia who fell to the ground.
Lin Yi in the distance shook his head secretly. This masked man has extraordinary martial arts skills, and these people are definitely no match for him. This wooden housekeeper looks disgusting, but he also knows how to protect his master, which is commendable for his loyalty!
After the masked man succeeded in one blow, he fell back to where he was. As if he expected what happened, he put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "Little girl, if you don't surrender without restraint, I won't let others die in vain because of you!"
Mu Qing'er and her senior sister looked at each other with solemn faces. The senior sister nodded, and quickly took out a bamboo tube from her arms, squeezed it with her hands, and threw it into the air. A stream of fireworks shot up into the air with a whistling sound.
Seeing that the opportunity was not good, the masked man said urgently: "Capture them quickly." He waved his hand, and four people rushed out from beside him. Two of them rushed towards Senior Sister Xu in white, and the other two rushed towards Mu Qing'er.
Two masked men, one holding a sword, Bai Lian dodged and stabbed Mu Qing'er's wrist. A swordsman waved his sword and rolled it behind Mu Qing'er. The two of them cooperated tacitly and blocked Mu Qing'er's escape route as soon as they took action.
Seeing the fierce moves of the two men, Mu Qing'er did not dare to fight with the masked man holding the sword. She stepped back, swung the dagger in her hand, and flipped the sword with her wrist. There was a faint flash of sword light, dragging the light like water, and she swung it back.
After a loud clang, the masked man who blocked Mu Qing'er's retreat looked at the handle of the knife in his hand in shock. The long blade had been twisted into pieces by the dagger.
The masked man holding the sword missed a single blow and was stunned on the spot.
When the senior sister in white was in danger, the two people surrounding her were also stunned by the accident around them, and their movements slowed down.
"Sword light..." All the masked men were surprised.
Jiang Fangdi and others looked excited.
Lin Yi frowned slightly and thought to himself, this magic weapon can also be used with internal force?
"How can this little girl use sword light? No, it's a magic weapon!"
The masked old man's eyes were shining brightly, and he shouted in surprise: "I'm going to kill both the man and the sword!" He laughed loudly and pounced on Mu Qing'er.
In desperation, Lin Yi wanted to save him without thinking too much. But he raised his brows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and put away the idea of taking action.
At the critical moment, a cyan figure suddenly appeared in the field.
The masked old man was startled, and then two more figures followed.
"Why bother doing such a small thing in broad daylight?"
Holding three strands of green beard in his hand, the man with an immortal air is none other than the old Taoist in Tsing Yi in front of the tea shed.
As soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, everyone saw clearly that the three Taoist priests appeared in front of them.
The masked old man's eyes turned sharply and he hesitated in his heart.
"The poor Taoist is the True Yuanzi of Baiyun Temple, and he passed by here with his disciples Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng. We are destined to meet each other. I wonder if this expert in front of me can give me a lesson?"
The old Taoist's eyes were bright and his expression was calm. Facing the people around him, he turned a blind eye and just stared at the masked old man.
"Hmph! There's so much trouble! Get out of here!" The masked old man gave the old man a fierce look. With a wave of his hand, ten or twenty masked men lifted themselves up into the distance and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
………
"These people are so skilled in martial arts!" Jiang Fangdi and Dai Yuanhai exclaimed in amazement, then whispered to Lin Yi: "This old Taoist is quite famous! Today we have met a real person!"
Lin Yi looked at the direction in which the masked men were leaving and frowned. This group of people come and go like the wind, give strict orders, act according to plan, and act according to the situation, which is definitely not comparable to that of a small sect. Could it be that you are really afraid of this old man?
Seeing that the crisis was over, Mu Qing'er felt relieved. She took a long breath and patted her chest. She was quite frightened just now. Although she looked unafraid in the face of danger, it was also because she was arrogant. In addition, she was not far from the Tianlong Sect and had something to rely on, which gave her a little more courage. It's just that this time I don't have the support of my teacher. I have to grit my teeth and hold on in times of crisis, but I will naturally be frightened afterward.
"Thank you so much, Taoist Priest, for your generous help! Qing'er has admired Taoist Priest's reputation for a long time!"
Mu Qing'er was generous and respectful, clenching her fists and saluting Zhen Yuanzi. She bowed to the two disciples behind her.
"Qing'er has met the two senior brothers!"
Seeing that Mu Qing'er was polite and well-spoken, Zhen Yuanzi nodded secretly.
"Actually, the old Taoist didn't do anything. Even if the old Taoist doesn't show up, Miss Qing'er is a lucky person and will definitely save the day." Zhen Yuanzi smiled and gestured to the distance.
Sure enough, before the old Taoist finished speaking, there was a rumble of horse hooves in the distance, and five horses rolled up a cloud of yellow dust and rushed toward everyone.
Still five or six feet away from the crowd, a horse neighed. The leader, with his red robe spread out, took advantage of the momentum of his saddle and soared into the air, gliding through the air like a big bird. Approaching Mu Qing'er, he retracted his arms, froze his figure, and suddenly fell down.
